Robert Plant isn't a big fan of musicians who stick with the same band for decades. Since the end of Led Zeppelin in 1980, the singer has ventured into various projects, unlike his "outdated" colleagues.
MOJO magazine , Plant explained his point of view. “Most musicians form a band, then stay in it until it ends – 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, whatever – [that situation] starts to seem sadly decrepit. It’s like people are clinging to a lifeboat or in their comfort zone,” he analyzed (via Louder Sound ).
The interview is part of the promotion for the album Raise the Roof , the second collaboration between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss , to be released on November 19th by Rounder Records. “The good thing about Alison and me is that we’re a couple of kindred spirits. With us, nothing is written in blood. We were ready to do something new and we knew how good it was before, so we can just get back together and see where we go. We have nothing to lose,” he compared.
