Welcome to December, the month of the Led Zeppelin reunion concert. The one-off performance by Jason Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant takes place little over a week from now.
The interviews from all four guys are coming fast and furiously! Following is a sampling of some of the latest.
An interview with Jason Bonham is cited both in Rythm magazine and in Rolling Stone. Read these pieces reprinted here: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?showtopic=581 and http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17448308/the_return_of_led_zeppelin.
Robert Plant enlightens in this audio piece: http://tinyurl.com/25ytc4.
John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page discuss the reunion in this videotaped question-and-answer: http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/ledzeppelin/740/jimmy-pagejohn-paul-jones-the-2007-interview.
And while you're in the mood for interviews, here's a portion of one that took place years ago but never appeared in print anywhere until published recently on Enzepplopedia. Author Frank Reddon interviews original MTV veejay J.J. Jackson, who was an early supporter of Led Zeppelin. In discussing the 1969 debut album, J.J. shares some impressions of that LP many fans have likely missed.
Read this, and you'll probably want to go grab the album right away!

Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."

John Paul Jones is now in one of the hottest and hardest rock bands, Them Crooked Vultures. The frontman, handling lead guitar and vocals, is Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters is on drums. As for Jones, he offers not only bass and keyboard but also mandolin, keytar, lap steel and whatever else is needed.
