That dude from mean venus aint opening for nobody. He died 6 months ago from a heroin overdose. Supposedly he was working with Axl Rose of Guns and Roses at the 11th hour writing material for inclusion on Chinese Democracy. He was one of the rotating songwriters in Axl's new circus. Guess he couldn't handle playing with the big boys. only 27 years old!

This is also supposedly one of the reasons that Plant isn't doing the tour too. After this Krauss b.s. he is done. Really ashame the Zep guys can't honor Plant's decision and understand that losing your son to heroin is something that most people never emotionally come back from.

RIP J

MEAN VENUS ruled!!!

We all have our moods and all bands have their crappy songs, but if Robert Plant really thinks Radiohead is crap, that's just crap. Zeppelin is still one of my favorite bands, but Radiohead equals or surpasses them in certain ways, and vice versa. Maybe Robert's just old ... it happens.

Who will Led Zeppelin have as an opening act on their 2008 US tour???
The rumors have finally been silenced: Plant has personally tapped his illegitimate son's band--MEAN VENUS--to open all 2008 shows.
MEAN VENUS' lead singer, J, when recently interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine, spoke of his utter disbelief at the prospect:
"I only found out he [Plant] was my dad a few years ago.
My mum hid it from me for the majority of my life. So to actually be going on the road with my Dad is bloody outrageous!".....
