Guitar Lovers

Led Zeppelin was an English rock band formed by four members in 1968.  Their members featured Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboard) and John Bonham (drums).  Though they are characterized as one of the first heavy metal bands, the band truly incorporated styles and sounds from several different sources, which makes it difficult to pin them into one particular genre.  Hailed for half a dozen albums which reached the Billboard #1 spot, Led Zeppelin is often though of as the greatest rock band ever formed.  One of their hit songs, Stairway to Heaven, is talked about as the greatest song ever written, with sheet music sales for the guitar chords one of the highest ever recorded.  Led Zeppelin’s legacy was cut short by the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980. 

The band disbanded following the death of Bonham, but reformed for a concert in 2007 which featured the three original members and John Bonham’s son, Jason Bonham.  The hype for the concert was enormous, and the performance by all accounts lived up to the hype, signaling the demand for a reunion tour which has yet to be set in stone.
