To be fair, if they could resurrect Bonham, I would absolutely vote for Led Zep. It being a miracle of science and all.

Good luck, Jose!

With Bonham or without him... I always vote for THE POLICE first ever!!!

By the way, I remember watching on TV a chapter of a US series that have Andy Summers as guest actor, who performed a photographer and guitarist that is a devoted fan of a Hippie legend guitarist who died but that was resurrected by science... in this programm Andy plays a great and long guitar riff!!! ( by the way, I remember record this chapter on VHS)

Ha! Choosing The Police over the ability to resurrect a dead guy? That's pretty damn hard core, Jose. :lol:

Do you remember what that show that featured Andy was? No need to go nuts looking for it -- I'm just curious. It sounds like an Outer Limits or Twilight Zone-type plot.

Yeah.. The Tv Programm was: "THE HITCHHIKER" (1987 season 4, Episode 7) The title of the episode was: "The Legendary Billy B." and Andy Summers performed the role of a photographer called "Hodie" and as I said before he plays an outstanding guitar riff!

By the way, THE POLICE reached 50% in the peruvian newspaper poll!!!

Yeah it was aired in the middle of the night... In that episode Andy was commisioned with a female journalist and he discover the legendary guitarist "Billy B", supossed to be died, but who was alive by tubes, so Andy explain the journalist who was "Billy B." take a lot of pics and then he plays an outstanding riff guitar...and "Billy B" awake... I remember Andy runs followed by someone...then he was killed... that's the end of our hero and the end of the episode...

The scary part is that the more you describe it, the more familiar it sounds. I bet I've probably seen it during some night of insomnia!

Did anybody see Zeppelin at Live Aid in 1985? They were horrible and they would be even worse now. They were a great band that could never ever come back.

By the way, I read Eddie Van Halen went into a hospital for a detoxify treatment, but in spite of the fact news suggested taht he wasn't ready for a world tour, so "Van Halen" reunion with David Lee Roth was cancell.
