Legend has it, that if Robert Plant and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, sat in the same room, the unicverse would implode with their combined level of genius
Queen is like pop rock…not even the same music or talent level. None of the musicians in Queen are on the same level with John Bonham, Jimmy Page or John Paul Jones. He can play about 7 instruments. All very well,
Totally agree. 'I was really good', a refreshing self-critique without a hint of braggadocio. He holds your attention with the way he tells a story, also. Very likeable.
Plant is actually quite full of himself. He’s the entire reason why Led Zeppelin never does reunions and why Jimmy Page hasn’t released any new Zeppelin material like more filmed concerts from the 70s. Plant has become extremely critical of his younger self and hates his old singing.
@moonlitlove Jim Morrison was a crazy, drunk, drugged-out moron with a monotone voice who wrote nonsense lyrics. If you put him above Plant, you just might be the same.
Robert looks great for his age that's all that counts! I had a heart attack last month and was in a coma for 10 days. But I woke up and I'm fine. That's all that counts.
But what’s most important is ... what you said ... do you look good ?! That was the basis of Billy Crystal’s “You look marvelous” .... that was created when Johnny Carson interviewed the Latin leading man movie star Riccardo Montalbahn who had terminal cancer but was still tanned and great looking and he said ..... he didn’t feel good ... but he looked “marvelous” .... Billy Chrystal created the comedy character from the real thing. “You look MARVELOUS !”
She tries to diss him at 1:19, saying, "...not to toot your own horn." He brilliantly shuts her up with, "I've always tooted my own horn. Who's going to do it better than me." NICE work Robert!
I met Robert Plant in 1989 at WXRT radio station when they used to broadcast on W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. He comes out of interview wearing a TyeDyed TShirt, faded jeans, & bad ass snake skin boots. He has a brunette & a blonde under each arm. One was feeding him a hot dog, the other one was feeding him French Fries. He was cool & he gave every fan an autograph/little 'Hello'. I mumbled something to him as he signed a piece of paper I had. Still makes me smile thinking I met my all the favorite rock singer who lived up to his prestige.👍✌️🤘😷🤘
@@alexgray8804 there can be no “Zeppelin tour” without Led Zeppelin... three quarters of Led Zeppelin are still alive and have been for about 41 years since Led Zeppelin ended and they haven’t even come close to actually considering to attempt any idea like that. they have occasionally played with the son of their lost quarter and if that were to ever happen again we should all try to witness it but other than that we should respect their decision to honor the greatest drummer of all time, and the greatest of the rock bands.

1:17 Robert Plant: "And I was really really good" (said with mild confidence with a tone seeking to persuade the audience he is a really good singer knowing darn well the audience knows who he is). Coming from an Englishman that is an obvious dig at the Chinese audience and saying a mighty lot!
@@BayMacDre415 He even threw in the fact (unnecessarily I'd say) that people from Taiwan are not particularly well liked in communist Beijing and yet the Beijing crowd was still cheering for the Taiwanese guy.........this on top of the fact that he didn't have to say "and I was really really good". Obvious dig from an over polite Englishman who is a rock n roll icon. Context is everything......understand British culture and see how he calculatingly framed the event in a certain way that reflected poorly on the Beijing audience. He also threw in it was around when China was taking back Hongkong which creates a certain uneasy political atmosphere against the English Plant.
Maybe back then. But he hasn't really been able to do that since '72. It's hard to keep up that kind of forced falsetto singing but we're fortunate he put it to record.
@@MattFoleysGhostFalsetto lol. Robert sang since I’ve been loving you in a full chesty mixed voice. He used more head voice later on in 1972 because his voice was getting weaker and it was easier to hit the notes.
There’s an outdoor amphitheater called Edgefield not far from where I live, and I was washing my jeep in the driveway when I heard a familiar voice sound checking, his voice kind of wobbly as the sound was carried in the breeze. By nightfall the breeze had ended, and even at that distance of a mile or so, you could clearly hear that Robert Plant is the true king of rock ‘n’ roll.
Always has. Robert was "the" definition of pure, raw, sexy!! His crooked smile didnt hurt either lol. He changed after his son passed. That smile was never the same. Everyone saying how rough he looks..... try losing your 5 year old son and best friend in a 34 month span. That'll put some frown lines on your face.
Won Honglo-WTF, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? This is ROBERT PLANT, from that little-known band: LED ZEPPELIN! He is washing his hair. Or, having the best Hair Stylist in the world doing it for him. He is in his 70's now, & he has decided to not dye his hair, & he has said: "I have tried to get it cut short, but the Stylists always talk me out of doing that." FYI, Gray Hair, (which 90% of people WILL get), does look different than other hair, & it has a different texture too. ALL you idoits who Trash OUR incredible Icons, for getting old. Are really starting to BORE ME!
Reminds me of a time I was on tour with ELP in Japan and we went to see a band playing ELP material.The comment of the night was '' f*** me man, they even play our mistakes''. Memories are made of this I guess.
There was a Chinese Elvis impersonator in my apartment complex in Hong Kong, who was about the right age to have done a karaoke battle with Plant 20 years ago. For a second there, I thought my old neighbor was going to come out on stage.
Holy fucking shit!That girl is sitting next to a living legend,how come she's not star struck?I'd probably either pass out or make a total fool of myself trying to hug him and not letting go!The Golden God himself!
Not sure why but after living in Taiwan for three years and most Taiwanese can flat out sing Karaoke. Taiwan's native dialect requires mastery of tonal changes in speech, I think that practice makes them natural singers.
Robert Plant will always be one of if not THE GREATEST ROCK SINGER EVER!
Legend has it, that if Robert Plant and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, sat in the same room, the unicverse would implode with their combined level of genius
Bon Scott was the best, Robert, for sure, the second best!

Knowing the kind of shit he did in his youth it makes me feel a bit criminal enjoying his content.

Plant is a raconteur. A natural. A dream of mine would have a pint with this man.
he is charming af
He has a great balance of confidence and humility.

I Love the rise in his voice when he says "I was really really good" - as if trying to convince us, lol
We're so lucky to have this man alive
Robert looks so handsome now..Thank you Mr Plant for not carving your face up to try and look 18!! You are...perfect!
Robert looks great for his age that's all that counts!
I had a heart attack last month and was in a coma for 10 days. But I woke up and I'm fine. That's all that counts.

It was undoubtedly a journey, but probably not nearly as glorious as most people think.

Baby you’re sitting next to Robert Plant - sit up straight!

Like a fine wine, Robert gets more interesting with age. Hope he stays around and provides us his stories forever.
He’s got a beautiful head of hair
That's because it is thinning and greying.

Saw LZ back in the 70's. One of the best bands ever.
after watching this video...
Jimmy Page to his manager: get me on wechat with that Chinese man, tell Jonesey the tour's still on.

Or game of thrones

Shook his hand in Kidderminster in 2016. Nice bloke.

Can't believe they are old. 😢 My mind is uses to seeing them young. RIP Led zeppelin
That girl wants a whole lotta love every time she looks at him.
and a whole lotta money too
Did she not say she'd toot his horn for him?
I was like, "Am I the only one who heard that?"
She could toot for hours if she knew circular breathing.
Yeah -
Her: "Not to toot your own horn."
RP: "I'm always tooting my own horn. Who's going to do it better than me?"
Her: "I'll do it for you."
Yes she did, keep listening
LOL at 70+, Robert's still got that rock star energy!
This is the best story!!!
“I’ll do it for you”
In Robert Plants head: “Yeah, I know.”
He actually says yeah, yeah.
My goodness, Robert was such a beautiful young man!
Carpool karakee with Led Zepplin would be epic!!!!! I hope they could arrange that someday please!!!!!
In an ambulance maybe ?
I can actually say I met him in June of 1977 at of all places Disneyworld.
