Because it was nice that Freddie and the gang liked some Zep tunes enough to cover them (Immigrant song). Was the feeling mutual? What did Plant, Page and the gang think of Queen overall at the time? What do they think of them now? What did Freddie and the gang think of Zep overall at the time? What do they think of them now?

Well, Queen was certainly influenced by Led Zep in the early years, as it can be heard in Queen and Queen II (heavy guitars, fantasy inclined lyrics). There's also a story of pre-fame Freddie making up he had met Plant. While I don't think Led Zep ever covered Queen, Robert Plant did appear at the FMT to sing Innuendo (with great difficulty)and CLTCL (much better). Also, Paul Rodgers was in a band with Jimmy Page, The Firm.
they were mates ..
Not to my knowledge, however Roger did join Plants band for a short spell in the 80's the intention was from him to tour with them, however I think they fell out during rehearsals.
I remember reading an interview in which the reviewer went to see them rehearsing and was blown away by the size of Roger's Chrome kit as used in Live Aid.

Yes, they did. In Berlin 1986, to be exactly. You can find it here, in the HUB. Maybe you could do a little more effort to get it?

Hey, if people ask where to find such things because soo many people on here have such wisdom on these things, so i think the laziness thing here can be thrown out sometimes...
Anywho, wow, the greatest band covering one of the other greatest bands in the world's songs, and i ADORRRRED the IMMIGRANT SONG!!

Really? Thats another great one. I dont know much about IBEX and the pre-queen sort of bands, im too young :-(
And its practically impossible to get a hold of The Cross and any of Brian and Roger's solo stuff as well in America.
So anyone know where i could find any??? Ive search like a madwoman, and cannot find it, except online, but sometimes shippping can get a bit steep.

Any chance of any kind of proof of this, ideally dating from earlier than 1992?

I think Freddie forgets the words. It wasn't very good. Roger and Brian have together and separatly covered Zep's Rock And Roll though, and that IS good.

Maybe because the song was improvised? Okay, it's a well-known song, but they at least tried it. And it doesn't sound THAT bad. Love Roger's high voice.

Admit it, most people here are lazy. They open topics and ask things that have been asked a million times already. Why the hell is here a search button then?

Yea ok, some people are a bit lazy i suppose...
But sometimes when a question is asked, its better to just answer it, unless its something thats brought up daily or whatever than start a fight sometimes.
Well u cant compare Roger to Rob Plant. Im sure it was good, but u cant ever beat the ORIGINAL!
however, i would like to see/hear the queen/brian/roger etc cover versions sometime!

Yeah, but Roger's intro wasn't even CLOSE to being as good as Plant's.[/QUOTE]
Allright, lets see if Plant can hit the high notes in '39 or In The Lap Of The Gods.
