The famous Led Zeppelin band had a bit of a bumpy ride during the press conference at The Museum of Modern Art following a screening of their new concert film, “Celebration Day”.
The band John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Jason Bonham filling in for his late dad John Bonham, talked about the one-off reunion concert filmed on December 10, 2007 at London’s O2 Arena and performed as a tribute to the late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun.
It started off fine, but when asked by reporters about a possible reunion and “anticipating something bigger for the band”, things got tense.
According to Rolling Stone.com, Plant was jokingly singing lines from Elvis Presley’s “Love Me” into the microphone, but it turned contentious when an Associated Press reporter asked if the new film will possibly anticipate something bigger from the band.
After Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham all became uncomfortably silent Plant said, “I mean, we’ve been thinking about all sorts of things,” Plant said. “And then we can’t remember what we were thinking of Schmuck.”
