Led Zeppelin posts a mysterious countdown, and sets tongues wagging

five_n

British rock gods Led Zeppelin have begun a mysterious online countdown, fuelling speculation that they are planning a new tour or a an album of sorts.
The group posted just the word ‘FIVE’ to their Facebook page on Saturday, inviting thousands of comments, even more ‘Likes’, and not a single clue.
Fans debated the significance of the number.
Some tweeted about re-releases, some about concerts, some about box sets and some about promoting the new iPhone or a follow up to Led Zeppelin IV.
Then after much speculation, the countdown was revealed with the number ‘FOUR’. Apparently they are counting down to a bigger announcement; and it is said the news is set for September 13.
The band has quiet of late, and have not really been in the public eye bar performances with associated acts like singer Robert Plant’s Band of Joy and bassist John Paul Jones’ Them Crooked Vultures
Guitarist Jimmy Page's manager, Peter Mensch tweeted the following on Saturday, hinting at their 2007 show: "It's almost here. I've seen it and heard it. almost 5 years to the day." Mensch was even more direct in a post this July: "Today, [producer/engineer Alan] Moulder continues with his stellar mixing of the O2 show. it's been 5 years coming and it's almost here."

It's probably a new live album or compilation album.

i thought that said "misogynistic countdown" and i was like "wut?"


anyway my vote is that they'll be announcing the re-animation of john bonham's corpse as the world's best zombie drummer

ch33rylips 12th-Sep-2012 07:36 am (UTC)
wagging = moving = talking

How long did it take your wisdom teeth to heal? Im on day 4 and im dying. I want this shit to be over!!!
danmac23 Re: OT12th-Sep-2012 06:26 am (UTC)
I had three done in one day..Two days later I was fine..Do you think you have an infection? Can you eat?
volcompunk58 Re: OT12th-Sep-2012 06:35 am (UTC)
I don't think I have an infection. Yeah I can eat. Not the greatest but im getting better at eating. Its just annoying more than anything. I keep getting headaches but im thinking its just the med im on cuz thats the only time I get them.

Yea, aside from my face being swollen I was fine after a day or two, my pain was really minimal.
ichdontthinksoo Re: OT12th-Sep-2012 06:28 am (UTC)
Mine took about 2 weeks. But after day 5, I didn't feel pain anymore, it just felt a bit uncomfortable. If you're still in pain by tomorrow, I think you should talk you to your doctor, bb. If anything, (s)he can give you a stronger painkiller :)
specialmei Re: OT12th-Sep-2012 06:52 am (UTC)
a week/week and a half for the major pain... longer for them to fully heal.
scared_money Re: OT12th-Sep-2012 07:21 am (UTC)
I'm 24 and I still have all my wisdom teeth. Im scared and the doctors are all like "uh you need to take those out" but im like "uuh they don't hurt, backthefuckup"

I like a number of their songs but my favorite is probably Dazed and Confused.

Girl.. I was out for a week!!

I was born without, but I did study dental assisting: do not use straws. do not smoke. use tea-bags as gauze (tannic acid will help the clot) the raw open wound usually takes about a week to heal.
essentially what's happening is you have a clot in the socket. gum tissue will gradually fill the socket in about a month or two. within 6 months the socket in your jaw will fill in with bone.

bless this post

yeah, my mind gets that it's probably the O2 concert and/or a new box set
but I love how these guys still have the cryptic thing down. I'm still geeking out.
superchocobear 12th-Sep-2012 12:43 pm (UTC)
I adore your icon. But yes, this cryptic fuckery can only be at the hands of Jimmy Page. Bless that mystic bastard.

16_bit_goddess 12th-Sep-2012 03:07 pm (UTC)
OMG I want that to be my wedding song if I ever get married. it's so beautiful.

I had no idea Led Zeppelin still existed.
cherisheddesire 12th-Sep-2012 09:59 am (UTC)
Technically the don't, but apparently they're still doing something.
xeroxicide__ 12th-Sep-2012 06:34 am (UTC)
Definitely planning a camp out to line up for the new iPhone. Will be bringing acoustic guitars for campfire style sing alongs.
