@ callaby....here are some answers for you
why the fuss? - because they always were, are and will be the best band in the world. the individual musicians are all in the top 3 of their art and together were so tight they wiped the floor with all of them. and even 75 % of them with Jason in place of his father proved last monday that they lost nothing of their power.
why hang on? - because nothing better came along since. many have tried no one comes near
why reuniting? - because their mentor and friend died last year and his wife asked them to.
they need the money? - they sold more albums than all the bands you have in your music collection put together (over 300 million and counting). even the poorer member (John Paul Jones) is worth over 30 million according to the latest sunday times rich list. their new compilation and dvd sells shedloads and even before this year's rekindled interest due to those releases and the reunion they sold a couple of hundred thousand records a year to a fanbase that's constantly refreshed by young people who find out themselves that Zeppelin is the best band there is.
