Random rockstar # 7 Robert Plant




Robert plant...vocalist of led zeppelin..anyone can easily guess robert plant simply by just hearing him on the radio his voice is just so unique and its just flawless.
He was born in august 20 1948 from west bromowich,west midlands,england. He is also the well known songwriter of led zeppelin.He has also dont solo projects after led zeppelin's break up after bonham's death (after taking 40 shots of vodka).

he was actually in led zeppelin because jimmy page was turned down by terry reid who was his first choice.Plant has also found it weird of people to think of their music as heavy metal whereas almost a third of their album was acoustic.

he was also involved ina car crash with his wife, Maureen in 1975 in rhodes,Greece.therefore this affected the band being able to perform live and make new albums until plant recovered.

He then embarked on his solo career after the breakup in 1980.By god's grace thankfully bonham had a son and they are now reunited and are gonna tour in london!!!wohoo..lateley they have a new compilation of music called mothership.

Now on to plants lyrics..very much of plant's lyrics are very mythical alot about the lord of the rings and norse mythology like no quarter which refers to thor and immigrant song which refers to valhalla and viking conquests.Ramble on would be another example of a lord of the rings inspired song...And other would include his songs wich were inspired by sexual innuendo like love and so on.like black dog..rain song...whole lotta love.He also rote abotu his experience in afric in kashmir..
He is also known for his outstaning performance in stairway to heaven but some debate that he did better in achilles last stand and kashmir..
