5 easy steps to hating Robert Plant


How could you possibly hate Robert Plant? He’s the frontman of Zeppelin! Ramble On, Whole Lotta Love, Stairway… They rock with the force of some sort of mythical Gallic troll (I’m assuming that’s what Robert would have said). So how can you hate the guy? Easy – follow these five steps.

Step one – Jimmy Page, Jason Bonham and John Paul Jones start practicing music together. They enjoy it. They get excited about rock and roll.
Step two – Robert Plant makes an album of really mellow folk stuff with some chick you’ve never heard of.
Step three – Plant declines, yes, says NO!?! To a full on Led Zeppelin reunion – he claims he’s more into mellow music now and doesn’t want to play rock and roll anymore. You must forget of course that he got on stage with Pearl Jam earlier this year and rocked the shit out of some Zep covers.
Step four – Page, Bonham and Jones recruit the guy from Alterbridge to sing with them on the rumored reunion tour.
Step five – this opens the door for the remaining members of Alterbridge to reform with their former lead singer. Scott Stapp. Yes, because Robert Plant, possibly the best frontman in the history of rock declining to reform perhaps the best band ever we have to endure the ultimate kick to the guts, the reformation of Creed – the worst band ever – and by ever I even includes Nickelback.

Why Robert? Why?
