Are You At A Led Zeppelin Reunion Show? A Handy Guide

Hey, did you hear that Led Zeppelin reunited this weekend? Well, it was just John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, who took the stage with the Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium for “Rock and Roll” and (as seen above) “Ramble On,” but that’s not stopping the NME from running with the headline “Led Zeppelin reunite at Foo Fighters show.” To celebrate this momentous occasion, let’s play a game of “Are You Really At A Led Zeppelin Reunion Show”!

Before we begin, another piece of evidence:

1. ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU’RE NOT SEEING LEZ ZEPPELIN? Hey, it’s confused people before.

2. IS JOHN PAUL JONES PLAYING BASS? If your answer is “yes,” then go to question three. If your answer is no, then skip to question seven.

3. IS JIMMY PAGE PLAYING GUITAR? If your answer is “yes,” then go to question four. If your answer is no, then skip to question seven.

4. IS THE REANIMATED CORPSE OF JOHN BONHAM OR HIS SON PLAYING DRUMS? If your answer is “yes,” then go to question six. If your answer is no, then go to question five.

5. IS THE GUY PLAYING DRUMS A REASONABLY WELL-KNOWN DRUMMER LIKE, SAY, DAVE GROHL? If your answer is “yes,” then go to question six. If your answer is no, the skip to question seven.

6. IS ROBERT PLANT SINGING? If your answer is “yes,” then you were probably at the O2 arena last winter. If you weren’t, go to question seven.

7. SO WAIT, WHO’S FILLING IN? DAVID COVERDALE? EVEN THAT DOESN’T COUNT. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, I KNOW THE TERM “LED ZEPPELIN REUNION” GETS THE GOOGLE HITS, AND I’M HAPPY THAT DAVE GROHL WAS REALLY PSYCHED ABOUT SINGING WITH HIS FAVORITE LEGENDS–BUT HONESTLY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO OUT-AND-OUT LIE TO PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GET TRAFFIC TO YOUR PIDDLING WEB SITE. Just saying.
