Found in: Movies, ReviewsRobert Plant Named Commander of the British Empire
For years, thousands of fans have considered Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant rock royalty. Now, 29 years after the group first called it quits, Plant, 60, has received accolades from bona fide royalty. On Friday, Prince Charles bestowed the title of Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), reserved for those "who have a high profile role in regional affairs and have made a distinguished contribution in their area of activity," on the singer. Plant received the award for his "services to popular music," and joins some of Britain's most notable names, including fellow singers Elton John and... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsSundance 2009: It Might Get Loud
A friend remarked to me that It Might Get Loud "has Paste written all over it," and sure enough it does seem to be up our alley. Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, the director of An Inconvenient Truth, had the idea of bringing Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White together to talk about guitars. And, you know, if they felt the urge, to jam a little. The result is a film that works as a brief chronicle of each musician's life and career — chock full of old clips, photos, concert footage, recordings, and visits to pivotal locations — as well... read more

Found in: Music, ReviewsLed Zeppelin to tour with Alter Bridge frontman?
Since their 2007 one-off reunion concert, several members of Led Zeppelin have tried to arrange a splashy world tour, complete with new material from the reassembled band. The hitch has been former lead singer Robert Plant, who stalwartly refuses to rejoin the crew (even releasing a statement to refute the rumors). Remaining collaborators Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (who replaced his father, John Bonham, as the band's drummer) recently told the press they're willing to take Zeppelin in a new direction. They've been sizing up replacement frontmen, and Billboard seems to think they've got an eye on... read more

There are a million jokes we could make about a "Communication Breakdown," but in the interest of good taste let's just cut to heart of the story. Led Zeppelin, the greatest rock band to ever have a penchant for invoking Norse mythology (our apologies, Amon Amarth) is planning to go back on tour following its wildly popular reunion show last winter. And here's the catch: Robert Plant is out.... read more
