Welcome to December, the month of the Led Zeppelin reunion concert. The one-off performance by Jason Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant takes place little over a week from now.
The interviews from all four guys are coming fast and furiously! Following is a sampling of some of the latest.
An interview with Jason Bonham is cited both in Rythm magazine and in Rolling Stone. Read these pieces reprinted here: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?showtopic=581 and http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17448308/the_return_of_led_zeppelin.
Robert Plant enlightens in this audio piece: http://tinyurl.com/25ytc4.
John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page discuss the reunion in this videotaped question-and-answer: http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/ledzeppelin/740/jimmy-pagejohn-paul-jones-the-2007-interview.
And while you're in the mood for interviews, here's a portion of one that took place years ago but never appeared in print anywhere until published recently on Enzepplopedia. Author Frank Reddon interviews original MTV veejay J.J. Jackson, who was an early supporter of Led Zeppelin. In discussing the 1969 debut album, J.J. shares some impressions of that LP many fans have likely missed.
Read this, and you'll probably want to go grab the album right away!
It's all part of the latest Enzepplozine available at www.Enzepplopedia.com. Free registration is required to access the contents; no password necessary, so this means no more than submitting your name and a valid e-mail address.

Interview opportunities abound for Led Zeppelin members
About the author
Steve "The Lemon" Sauer is a writer and musician based in Boca Raton, Fla., who has dedicated a portion of his life researching the history of rock group Led Zeppelin and monitoring the ongoing careers of the band's surviving members. Although he was barely a year old when Led Zeppelin broke up and it took him until his teen years to appreciate the music, it didn't take long to make up for it.
In 2007, Steve launched Lemon Squeezings: Led Zeppelin News to cover the lead-up to the band's reunion concert at the end of that year. Since then, he has closely examined every rumor of a followup tour since then, often dispelling or clarifying misinformation perpetrated by the mainstream media. Using his journalistic training, Steve has also uncovered some facts and accounts previously unreported elsewhere.
At age 18, he began publishing On This Day In Led Zeppelin History, a daily newsletter detailing the interactions of members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and their manager, Peter Grant. The newsletter is located at www.OnThisDayInLedZeppelinHistory.com.
He enjoys uncovering stories and has employed various methods to communicate those stories to Led Zeppelin's vast fan base, utilizing terrestrial radio and the many facets of the Internet: from Usenet newsgroups to plain e-mail and now Facebook and Twitter. Steve also connects with live audiences when performing as a backup vocalist and keyboard player with various bands, including past onstage appearances with three cover or tribute acts performing the music of Led Zeppelin.
