Back in 1994, my friend and I pulled into a petrol station in Kidderminster UK to fill up the car. Next to us was a vintage Mercedes 320 with a beautiful lady sitting waiting patiently. Filling the Mercedes with petrol was Robert Plant!! I and my buddy were lost for words, we were like little children seeing Santa. I spoke to Robert and said what a pleasure it was to meet him. We spoke for over 20mins about music, life and what was happening with his work. It was like talking to an old friend i hadn't seen in a year or two. He asked where we were going and i said we were headed back to our work in Halesowen. His reply was to ask if we fancied a pint and some lunch. We spent the next 3hrs or so in conversation with this guy. I will remember those 3hrs for the rest of my days. We parted with no autographs or 'selfies', just a memory of lunch with a legend and his lady. Plus, he paid!!

warms my heart to know things like this can happen

It's 1980 and I finally got front row seats to see Led Zeppelin live. I'm 29 years old and I'm feeling like I just met Santa Claus for the first time. I'm driving a truck down I-95 listening to WMMR when the announcement of John Bonham's death come on. I pulled over to the side of the road and cried the same way I did when my Dad past away when I was 12. For whatever reason I got out of the truck,sat on the railing and just couldn't stop crying. A cop pulled up and asked me if I was OK and I looked at him and said John Bonham died.He put his hand on my back and said I'd be alright. I got back in my truck and drove home and this cop followed me the whole time to make sure I got home safely. Since then every September I'd think of John Bonham and John Whittle the cop who followed me home.

Page produced the albums in the studio. The first album was insane as he was looping shit and doing backward somersaults with things that were never even thought of before. Page was looking for a singer for his new band, so in essence he made the band, but I cannot imagine how it must have been somewhat difficult to to shine on stage like the Adonis singing genius Plant, hahaaaa...but he did, the beauty of Zeppelin was as Page alluded to here, they all shined which had to be difficult, for the only way to shine in this dual dichotomy of bass & drums and front man & lead guitarist, is to not try to shine, which paradoxically resulted in them all shining. Led Zeppelin was in charge when they finally figured it all out, but no Page, no Zeppelin.

Plant said in the past, what happen normally was that Page brought compositions he wrote to the others. The other band members would play (and Plant adding lyrics would sing) doing their thing adding their parts.

In the mid to late 70's, when I was in high school, the process of buying concert tickets was to literally "camp out" in line on the sidewalk and into the parking lot in front of an Orange Julius cafe, at an outdoor mall, in St. Louis, not for hours -- but for days! A few of us would always go -- always among the first in line -- no matter what rock band -- to buy tickets (Pink Floyd, Rush, Styx, Yes, REO, Genesis, and yes Led Zeppelin). Day and night 24-7 for 2-3 days I camped out waiting for first dibs to buy tickets close to the stage. In 1980, it was Zeppelin coming to town. I got 2 seats on the 3rd row. Bonham died right before that concert. The show was cancelled. Ticket costs were reimbursed. I remember feeling shell shocked. The concert of a lifetime; with seats so close to the stage. Part of me died at that time too because they were "my band" ... I admire these 3 guys who so loved that drummer as a person, they disbanded rather than go on without him. What an incredible honorable act.

But I know nothing about him except this one interview and if only he had used his skills at apologising in the interview situation he would have been more successful. What Americans seem to miss altogether and sadly too is the ability to be humble. Jimi Hendrix is the only man (and Giant Sand's Howe Gelb) I can think of who contradicts this. That is why they have not been more successful around the world and remains the reason why Americans are so often despised all over the world - their arrogance.

There must be a band that are/were better than Zeppelin,but I'm at a loss to think of one...

I find Robert Plant to be so lovely in interviews. Charlie Rose was out of line bringing up the death of his child.

John Paul made me cry, spoken like a true bass player and worthy of my idolatry! No matter how cool every other part is, I always find my self bouncing back to the incredible bass lines. Thank you sir for inspiring me to try my hand at bass!

A band is only as good as their rhythm section. Hard to surpass the rhythm section of Zeppelin. Some of my favorite JPJ bass moments on record are the bass in the intro of the tune Song Remains the Same and the whole bass track of Carouselambra. Such an understated and yet driving bass player..

So much talent in this room. They changed the music we listened to forever. There are probably 50 people in human history that can make that claim.

Let me first state - Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock n' roll band in history. That said, Charlie Rose was far too pressing. The members seemed uncomfortable and reluctant to answer his endless, super-fan, stream of questioning. They didn't want to continue after the 2007 performance, simple. Let it go. The band owes us nothing. Bringing up Robert Plant's son's death?... You could see Robert's heart sink. Charlie Rose had no gauge on this interview or when to lighten up and switch topics.

Miguel McKenzie I agree, however Charlie had some of the best guests ever, I was hooked on his show, watched it from very near its beginning. I am still pissed he was abusing his staff etc. He really f..ked up. No one has stepped in yet to really replace his show. I think he is on a podcast or something but I cannot think of looking for it, I am still so pissed at his elitist actions that brought the end of his PBS then Bloomberg/PBS show.

What a loyal band of brothers, their loyalty to Bonzo is unquestionable. All for one and one for all!

The 2 best bands of all time that will be great forever are Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd. Every album from start to finish were great. Not just a couple songs, ALL of them!

Charlie Rose is as subtle as a war tank!

There will never be a band like led zepplin. They broke the mold after this band.

I think also what makes Zeppelin absolutely so great is you can listen to their music recorded 50 years ago and it still sounds fresh, new & bombastic, explosive.... no band currently sounds like Led Zeppelin, people say Gretta Van Fleet. To me the they're Nickolodeon's version of Zeppelin, they're going through the motions. You just can't duplicate Robert Plant's voice. Pages Playing, "Bonzo" The GOAT John Henry Bonham, John Paul Jones, music they're belongs in a time capsule too show explorers just who Zeppelin was, the world will never be the same... The Greatest Band of All Time

I hate that question about being the 'best.' It's art Charlie, it goes deeper than better, worse, best.

Why is it irrelevant? It shows the tragedy of what Robert went thru, and why he was really growing tired of being in a band with a couple of druggies/alcoholics that weren't in top form any longer. His accident and son dying really made him question if he wanted to keep doing it. Apart from that, IMO, Zeppelin were really over in '76/'77. Yea, there were a few decent songs on "In Through the Out Door", but Page and Bonham were a mess. Especially Jimmy. His playing really went downhill. Zeppeling SHOULD have called it quits after Robert's son died, or at least those two should have used that time to clean themselves up. Just my opinion of course.

Best band ever. I feel like they still don't believe that they were the best Very humble.

It was so nice that "they" allowed John Paul Jones to speak in "their" interview

Jimmy actually looks the best of the three of them even though he's the eldest (and put his body through more). I think that Charlie kind of summed up why it might not be best for Led Zeppelin to continue in one of his questions. He said that the Led Zeppelin reunion show was magical. And that's it isn't it? It was magical, but would they be able to reproduce that magic for the span of a full tour? I heard an interview with Robert Plant many years ago when he was first starting off his solo career and he said in regard to Led Zeppelin that "there were times that he wasn't very good and times when I wasn't very good, but we got by." And I think that's part of it too, at this point in their career they just don't want to accept good enough any more. If they're going to do Led Zeppelin again, it would have to be perfection and better going forward. At 64, when this was taped, that's a lot harder to do than when you're 24.
