NME.com Prints retraction

[Crabs462]

So here it is, they were wrong....

"The much-rumoured performance by Led Zeppelin is not set to take place. However, frontman Robert Plant is slated to perform with Alison Krauss, as is Lez Zeppelin, the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band."

^ LOL For some reason, I got a real kick out of that comment.

It won't be put to bed-- this snafu will cause some people to swear for Zep until they leave Bonnaroo on Monday morning.

yeh, some people will just not take no for an answer. It's probably going to happen into 2009 though.

That's not a retraction. Sorry, but it's not.

They say nothing about why something like that would have been printed, they just ignore the fact that they printed it in the first place.

And, sorry to be a lawyer, but "not set to take place" is about as definitive as the word "inaccurate."

Thank you for interpreting their words for us! What would we do without a lawyer working for us to look into what is actually being said!

I really didn't mean that to be arrogant, I meant that more as a "I look really hard into these things." This very well could have been a mistake, I'd just like to hear a) what happened and b) I'd like a little bit more clear choice of words.

I hope you didn't think my post was calling you arrogant. I meant it as sincerely as possible. It really is nice having a lawyer around analyzing the choice in words. Have some karma as a token proof of my gratitude

edit: karma when i can... apparently I'm out for the time being...

Thanks, I just sent some back your way!

yeah its just really weird that so many sources broke this, people like the AP, people who wouldn't print a full story about the promoters confirming zep if they misread "Lez".

IF zep is really booked without a world tour as well, this is the ONLY way superfly could do it, and perhaps a few outlets jumped the gun? the problem with zep from day one was how to deal with the clusterf**ck over zep tickets. letting tix go on sale for a little while before name dropping ZEP was the only way to do it.

with that said, DOUBTFUL...at best.

I'm not buying anything until AC/Superfly makes a definitive statement. If they don't quell the rumors being fueled by the Associated Press running with the story, something is definitely up.
