Zeppelin new album?

Seeing as the reference is bogus regarding Led Zeppelin, I believe the new album should be called ZoNo.

It's twenty years that Roger Waters does the same joke even not in April.

the Black Crowes stint with Page was good too

I'd tend to agree about the Stones still sounding good only because they strictly play blues (blues-rock) and the older they get the grittier and rattier they sound, which is perfect.   That's why Keith Richards hears the Who and Zep as "hollow", and from his point of view, they are;
“[Moon] could play to [Townshend] like nobody else in the world. But if somebody threw him into a session with somebody else, it was a disaster. There’s nothing wrong with that; sometimes you’ve got that one paintbrush, and you rock it."  

And though he shouldn't have said it and has probably gained legions of new enemies, he's right of course.  But people hear it out of context or misperceive him because they aren't working musicians.

Actually Page & Plant have come a very long way since the LiveAid disaster and other performance fumbles (a normal thing for them but had become exacerbated over the years due to lack of practice), and I give them huge points for going strong even today.

Sure they sound fine, but the notion of becoming what they were is unrealistic.

Well you got me for a moment... But I doubt Plant voice suits this kind of music nowadays. It could just be sad.

I'm pretty sure this joke has been done before.  It's recurring, I remember it from like five years ago

1)  They're way too old to "recreate" anything.  They were too old in 1979 to recreate anything.
2)  There is no new Led Zeppelin material or undeveloped recordings.  They put everything worth anything on the table, recorded it, and eventually released it.
3)  In the words of Neil Young, it's better to burn out than to fade away.

It IS a April Fools Day JOKE!
