"I got an alert, because it had all this Led Zeppelin thing about it. I'd have been annoyed if I'd been Robert [Plant]. I'd have been annoyed if they said that he sounded like Robert.
"Robert did not sound like that. Robert was amazing, and still is, but when he was in his young days, his voice was miles [better], just in a different league. He Was Way Better.
"Just because he sings high and he does his hand-on-the-hip thing, I just worry the hype that the band are getting, it will ruin them. I wish them all the very best.
"People should just love them for what they are, and not try and keep comparing them to Zeppelin, because it will kill them in the end. It will sometimes hurt them.
"Trust me - I know that, because for me, it takes a hell of a lot when you play drums and your dad's John Bonham, the comparisons sometimes can be the hardest things to get past. I wish them all the very best, but I thought [they sounded] more [like] Black Crowes than Zeppelin myself." (ultimate-guitar.com)
"I've had a few chances to play with them, and I always say I was disappointed in different versions when we did it. I always felt I hadn't worked enough at it; it didn't sound right.
"The planets aligned for that event, and for me, not only the event, for me it was the six weeks prior, being around them for that time. That was the greatest moments of my life, just being one of the guys with them. Hanging out with them, just talking about music.
"One of the highlights just for me - there was nobody else in the room - I said, 'Why don't you guys do an acoustic bit in the O2 show?' They said, 'No, no.' I said, 'I'd love to hear you guys do 'Tangerine' or 'Going to California.'
"They went and grabbed the acoustics, sat on the couch and did 'Tangerine' and 'Going To California'. It was surreal."
