Robert Plant & Alison Krauss on the Mercury Prize nomination

[latanyasdance]

What a nice lady.

[CallMeTheWonderer]

why would people really believe he worships the devil. Page was the one that was intrigued with the darker side of things. Plant was more into learning about mythology......nothing sinister. He has also done a lot of growing, personally and spiritually

[justbeyourself2]

OMG

can't believe he got together with her

she is so LAME.

[allanshawn]

Alision Krauss loves to sing covers song none of her songs has never been a hit on the rock pop charts or counrty charts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PupuTheClown]

I think Jimmy Page and Britney Spears would make a better couple.

[thedebtsettler]

What an odd pair.

[ilove4everJesus]

what is she doing with this old hippie ?

[da324]

@ilove4everJesus It's because he worships the devil!

[PupuTheClown]

,,he gives her the things she needs most out of life, hash, pcp, acid and a whole lotta lovin !

[Sointula2]

@ilove4everJesus Making millions and some remarkable music - hadn't you noticed?

[vollyball247]

i love her...thats all i can say..i love her LIKE GRAVY!! A BIG OL PILE OF GRAVY ON TATORS OR SOMETHIN'!! lol i love her!

[MrAjax246]

RP is a plonker.

[robertplantisamazing]

led zeppelin is amazing...as long as robert plants happy...im happy :)

[SmokinMo11]

@robertplantisamazing U SUCK IT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[panterahead667]

@SmokinMo11 - Mature much?

[tlove0725]

I done think tha sing good and aliyson is as perdy as a flower in a east tennesse rain storm. That jed leppin guy talks funny

[ajscheinsohn]

Maybe I'm jealous, but she wears too much make up, and looks like a wax doll. Apart from that I hope she understands who is she sitting beside, and the enormous luck of singing along with someone the height of Robert Plant. I bet she doesn't know anything about Led Zepp.....

[panterahead667]

@ajscheinsohn - Its not "luck" that two purely talented singers get together for an album... And believe it or not, she's a huge fan of Zeppelin, ACDC, Bad company, and especially Foreigner & Def Leppard. She even hired Leppard's video director for a song or two.

As for make up... if you look beyond all the manufactured, airbrushed mainstream music, you'll find alot of REAL artists to whom the music is what matters... not the image.

[SmokinMo11]

@panterahead667 SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperSaiyanNaruto]

I don't get why you people want Robert to drop his country/folk gig. Obviously he prefers this over Rock, it's his own style and preference. And he's great at it.

[Beachmaiden]

Couldn't agree with you more. Plant actually gained more respect within my eyes and also made me appreciate this genre, Their voices are beautiful together, and you can feel the respect between the two of them. Bravo!

[SmokinMo11]

@SuperSaiyanNaruto no-OBVIOUSLY ROBERT GETS IT-HES BORED & WANTS TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE! HE WILL NEVER RISE ABOVE ZEP NO MATTER HOW DOESNT TRY! GET IT? & SHES NOT THE ANSWER!! Who CARED BOUT HER B4 HTM??????????NOBODYYYYYY!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[nrobnas43]

Their relationship is pathetic. I don't care if they did a few sweet numbers together. Did you hear him dis her on her drinking problem? She got annoyed, and really cold.

[55dnick]

What?...If you know anything about chemistry between friends then surely you can recognize a good ribbing when you see one. Alison doesn't drink which is why the joke works so well, and her deadpan stare and comment filled the punchline perfectly.

The two of them are very good friends from the sources I've read and spoken with.

You need to do your homework!

[nrobnas43]

I didn't mean she had a drinking problem, per se. It's odd RP would joke about it, because now people listen and wonder why he would even joke about something like that. Kind of a dumb comment from RP, and alcohol abuse is a sensitive area for me and for a lot of people. Anyhow, I was just commenting on the video and what I saw, heard and felt. Maybe I should research AK and see if she has or had a drinking problem. RP drank or still does.

[panterahead667]

@55dnick - Sounds like someone doesn't get the concept of friendly banter lol

[55dnick]

@panterahead667 - You are so right. Oh well...I bet sarcasm is a concept that would have to be explained to some people which ruins the purpose of the comment if you have to explain it to them!

[nothingisasitseems88]

I love Robert, but he is sooo obviously pussy whipped, its not even funny. Time has not been kind to him, he used to be sooooo HOT!! And hes NOT going on tour with Zepp?! Is he mad? No, he's pussy whipped!

[SmokinMo11]

@nothingisasitseems88 U think he dumps a Big Ol PILE OF GUR-RAAAVEEE on nat Stuff???? I would as long as she doesnt TRY to sing any Zep songs while Im doin it! HEE-HAWWWW.......HEE-HAWWWW!!!­! Hes a good-looking man.I think he should get a face-lift! Then he would really be smokin!!!!

[TheVoyager2112]

Please Robert drop the country go back to Rock, if you are planing a secound album with her, do not except the same responce.

[garriv777]

What a beauty she is....;). I don't care if she can sing or not, I think I love her anyway...:).

[AWOL92801]

hes fuckn her

[Pimblit]

Ahahahahaha

[Ronplucksstrings]

Alison...what's with the trenchcoat? Whadaya got on under there? Just kidding...Congrats, you with the voice of an angel!

[LEDFOOT49]

WHY CAN I COMMENT YOUTUBE?

[norman4144]

lol i think it funny that ROBERT PLANTE out of all people says she has a drinking prob lol

[Zimra88]

haha.. like gravy on taters or something.. haha.. AK is freakin awesome

[sugarland104]

yea seriously not doing alison more like bangin her lol.... i love how she says gravy and tators lol

[slav777sacrament]

lol...agreed :D

[sugarland104]

its a southern way to put things in other words......

[smruizp]

What is Alison saying at the beginning? Something about gravy and more gravy??

Could somebody explain that for a not English native speaker?

thanks!

[duliebald1]

It's a very southern way of describing something as really great or enjoyable. That's the best I can explain it. Anybody else have a better way of phrasing that?

[donnyaldridge]

I have never put gravy on my damn taters...She should have said gravy and biscuits.....Or just gravy.....lol

[barrieev]

The worst thing I can say about Ms. Krauss is that she's a bit uptight and doesn't have a great sense of humor.

Otherwise, I say let T-Bone Burnett run the world of music and see what other crazy artist/music combinations he can arrive at.

[reddragonready]

She is not uptight, she is shy with publicity. And she happens to be known to have a real goofy sense of humor.

[TvMooVJunkE]

"she's got a terrible drinkin problem"

"that's nice"

[weavermomo]

Robert Is a frickin god, I love him, best rock & roll singer of all time, he was so very sexy in the 1970s.

[AmieMcA]

why are you being so hateful? These two artists make wonderful music together and seperatly. You know nothing about them personally....just what they have chosen to share in the media. You need to take a look at yourself and ask why this bothers you so much. I think the problem is you.....not Alison and Robert.

[SmokinMo11]

@AmieMcA no-the prblems w/u!Go back 2 whats real & its not dingbat! She cant even put 2 together if it werent 4 him & Im wondering bout him nowAdaze!

[AmieMcA]

@SmokinMo11 I don't have a problem with you if you don't care for the music, but to imply she isn't tallented is just plain ignorant. I myself love most of Plants work and consider it amongst the best in history. I never personally would have bought an album of Krauss' before I heard their tour together, but that woman has an angelic voice. If you don't like it, don't listen. By the way, you were commenting on a post that is over a year old.

[pjallmarbinks]

@AmieMcA he was sexy,,,,Robert Plant was a real  IDOL!

[mitchy9162]

Allison, these stars shine so much brighter when you are in love...I'm not talking about me...but these people who adored your voice...which is God given...wished u could see my front porch,,,rockin chairs...overlookin the moon risin

I'll be waiting

[mitchy9162]

Again, I won't even watch 2 seconds of this crap...No! I'm sorry people...You're not going to take this woman away to your abyess.....I will hound this site day and night til she comes back home to her roots in these mountains...you don't even know her...she is the epitimy of mountain love....leave us alone...go have your group sex and drink and drug...just leave us mountain folk alone....you've took away our brightest star....

[Valam85]

get that bitchh back to the mountains we don't want that hill billy music we want REAL ROCK!!! ZEPPELIN your fans are waiting ....

ROBERT damn man i wish i could punch your face so you can wake up and say WTF am i doing with this biotch..., this is not real music... GOD DO SOMETHING

[reddragonready]

Your mama should have said no to you occasionally. Might have taught you, you can't always have what you want! ;D

Or maybe 28!!!! years should have given you a clue!

[slav777sacrament]

dude, relax he's probably doing alison. LOL sorry, you left it wide open. lol

[commieobama]

he looks like hell, prolly cant get it up anyway unless he thinks of Freddie Mercury whom he played hide the bone with.

[reddragonready]

49 eh? LOL

[commieobama]

no 50

[reddragonready]

50 going on 15 it is then! :)

[commieobama]

no 51

[reddragonready]

LOL Defintely 15! And the pathetic kind of 15 at that! Tsk tsk....sad!

[swans1997]

Funny you should make that "bitch back to the mountains" comment. Ever listen REALLY close to some of those folky nuggets therin on Zep III. Not much rock are they? Tunes like Friends and Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. Hats Off To Roy Harper? Know him? Zep was always messing around with the folk and ethnic stylings. Where have you been?

[barrieev]

Give it a break. If we all stay nice and secure in our little niches, how are we ever going to grow? I doubt she's doing coke off the ass of Chippendale dancer since she met Plant.

[steamtrain1978]

Have the bitch back. is she your mamma and sister

[swans1997]

I can't stand to read two seconds of crap posted by narrow minded folk like you. "It ain't music, unless it's country". Omigod, there's Toby Keith there yonder, HA HA Page has more talent than that guy. You are actually going to say country stars don't engage in group sex or drugs? How old are you?

[laurcholl]

OLD???? He looks great!!!!

[ClubWorship]

Like all the other rockers from Yes to Zeppelin to Pink Floyd to Jethro Tull (ironically) he looks like a freakin Dickens character. A dirty overcoat and this dude is cast as Fagin in Oliver Twist. But the singing is aweseome. Good record.

[addiepray89]

Rob is such a cutie... i really like him...

[CountryRoadTrip]

She can fix me a big ol' pile of gravy and taters anytime she wants...

[CountryRoadTrip]

She looks really tired, but I'm still madly in love with her.

[StuffByMe]

LOL. "She's got a terrible drinking problem..."

[thewolf914]

Alison is a riot! When I saw AKUS in concert she told the joke, "What's the difference between a large-mouth bass and and small-mouth bass? The large-mouth bass is the female!"

I wonder if Plant even knows what "Tators" are?

[lkw1287]

I love Allison ... funny... when she says Gravy just like Gravy on a big ole pile of taters....the look on Robert's face...he looks so confused about what she is saying...but backs her up, what a gentleman.

[pitbullexpress]

I recognize myself in my idol - Robert Plant.

And I'm the spitting image of him too. Except for the difference in height. He's 6 foot 2 in. and I'm 5 foot 3. But aside from that, exactly the same. Well, I'm a little chubby, not fat, but chubby. In fact, I'm kinda shaped like a Medicine Ball. Ya know, those ones we used in school to play Crab Soccer with.

So, aside from the Height, Weight, and Width, oh, and the fact that I can't sing a lick, I'm the spittin' image of my Idol - Robert Plant.

[1HOLYDIVER1]

they are good together but pleeeeeeeeeeeeease alison do the right thing a move over, everyone wants a Led Zeppelin tour more than the two of them, i know im gonna get some thumbs down here but its true

[danderson87]

god robert plant looks old

[blugrsschick]

Alison is so funny!!! I love them, great collaboration!

[rbcastillo]

I think she wants dinner

[akusgal]

i actually had to play this a few more times. if one takes out the "am" in "america".. she says my name! i'm really an ak fanatic at all... :0)

[SilverQueen]

Those two are so hilarious. Sometimes I think that Alison might be a teensy bit insane, though. XP

[reddragonready]

LOL! I think so too but I wonder if we have the same reason?

[SilverQueen]

Dunno. What's your reason?

[reddragonready]

Aaw come on!Playing coy eh? ;D

My reason is I recognise myself in what she thinks is funny and how she tells a story. And I KNOW I am a bit insane so...:D

[SilverQueen]

I think recognizing ourselves in someone is a common thread in how we choose our idols, because I like to think I see some of myself in Alison as well. Not so much her sense of humor (which I still love), but just the way she relates to things. I think she has a tendency to get so engrossed in her passions that she doesn't necessarily know what's going on around her, you know? She's always focused on "that lyric that keeps her up at night." I'm that way too, and people think I'm crazy, so... XD

[reddragonready]

Thanks for replying! I agree that recognising ourselves in someone is what draws us but I find it interesting how very different people for very different reasons are drawn to the same performer! And I guess we're all a little nuts and that's a good thing! :D

[akusgal]

loved that! thank you! i adore alison's sense of humor.

[TimelessGypsy]

ooooh thank you so much!

[jesusakuschick]

LOL they are both funny.

[reddragonready]

Thanks very much for sharing! :)

[TimelessGypsy]

Yeah, thank you! Too bad it's so short. :)
