TWISTED SISTER Guitarist Comments On LED ZEPPELIN Reunion

December 10, 2007

TWISTED SISTER guitarist Jay Jay French — a mega LED ZEPPELIN fan who saw them opening for IRON BUTTERFLY at the Fillmore East in New York in January 1969 — recently spoke to UK-based journalist Dave Ling about ZEPPELIN's reunion concert that is scheduled to take place tonight (Monday, December 10) at London's O2 arena.

"I just don't know if they'll pull it off, and I'd rather remember the band the way they were," he said. "I give away the 'How The West Was Won' DVD to friends as gifts; the telepathy and synergy between them at that point [in 1972] still brings up goosebumps. But I want to be clear — they're getting back together for charity, which is absolutely the right reason. I applaud them for doing the one thing they know that can raise the most amount of money. I hope it's a great show and that the fans enjoy it. Jason Bonham is a great drummer. John Paul Jones is a master musician. But my question is: Will Jimmy [Page] be able to play the way we all remember, and can Robert [Plant] still sing those songs? I don't know the answer to that."
