Guess what? Kurt Cobain is dead. Jimi Hendrix is dead. Jim Morrison is dead. And Nirvana, Hendrix, and The Doors ALL still kick ass. Also, Bonham died 23 years ago, so 10 years ago it wasn't any different. Plant's new music is better than his '80s music IMO anyway.
You have to admit both bands have stood the test of time VERY well. The stones are still around, and the Yardbirds turned into Zep who turned into the Honey Drippers, and Page and Plant are still around, almost as long as the Stones anyway.
Besides, watch "The Song Remains The Same". When you see Page playing his guitar with a bow in Dazed and Confused and the '73 MSG concert's version of the solo for Stairway to Heaven, you'll realize that he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Ditto for John Bonham in the Moby Dick drum solo. If he didn't drink himself to death, I bet they'd still be around as Led Zeppelin. Maybe then I could've seen them in concert.
