Rumours are sparking that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl may get the job of Led Zeppelin drummer.The group, who recently performed at a charity gig at the 02 Arena, are rumoured to go on a full reunion tour next year.
Even though Grohl praised Jason Bonham's drumming at the charity gig, he is apparently desperate to get the chance to drum with the legendary group.
An "insider" source told the Daily Star “While he loves playing with Foo Fighters, Dave would drop anything to be part of Zep’s shows.”
Anyone who attended the Dec 10th show can vouch that Jason Bonham was very good and not in need of replacing. Further, he's the one Zeppeliner who could use the pay-day a tour would give.
But what's funny is the suggestion that since Grohl is "desperate to get the chance to drum with the legendary group," and that he would "drop anything [Foo Fighter's] to be part of Zep’s shows," then somehow that means Zeppelin is looking to have Grohl play with them.
Here's a prediction: If Zeppelin tours, Jason Bonham, and only Jason Bonham, will be the drummer.

Happy new year!! Brian.
Yes happy new year, and looks like it might be a really special one for zeppelin fans. This Grohl thing is becoming embarrasing. He's starting to look more than a little eccentric.I think your certainly right about the Zeppelin drummer job though, and while led zeppelin is and was a "family" business there's more at work than just a keep in the family sentiment. It dosn't get talked about as much anymore in the "serious" music press but Page wasn't the only member of THE band to believe strongly in esoteric/astral forces. I bet the numbers and the stars have a lot to do with timing and planning, and hey you cant argue with staggering, overwhelming succes.Only one thing could make a reunion tour more fab...
NEW STUDIO ALBUM!!!
