Jimmy Page Explains Why 'Houses of the Holy' Was Not Titled 'Led Zeppelin V'
After releasing four self-titled albums accompanied by Roman numerals, Led Zeppelin opted to call their fifth effort "Houses of the Holy," which baffled some fans. Jimmy Page gave a simple explanation for the name change recently."It goes 'I,' 'II' and 'III,' as you say, but then 'IV,' there's still four symbols, so it still goes in digits [like 'IIII'], you see," Page said during a Q&A with fans on SiriusXM, "Rolling Stone" reports. "But [the fifth album] wasn't going to be 'Led Zeppelin Victory Sign [V].' So 'Houses of the Holy'.""It's about all of us being houses of the Holy Spirit, in a sense," he added about the title.Fans have tried to explain the subtle move for years, with some saying it had to do with Page's fixation with occultist Aleister Crowley and others pointing out that Houses just sounded different from the first four records, "Consequence of Sound" notes. -

Garth Brooks is getting ready to release his first studio album in 13 years with "Man Against Machine," out Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Brooks, along with host Robin Roberts and the rest of the audience, got a little emotional during the rendition, which is understandable.

"'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life / Is making sure you're always going to be all right / A loving angel, tender, tough and strong / It's almost time to go and meet your mom." -
Robert Plant Reportedly Ripped Up an $800 Million Led Zeppelin Reunion Contract
Pretty much everyone wants Led Zeppelin to reunite except Robert Plant. Even the financial power of Virgin billionaire Richard Branson could not get the legendary band to perform together.According to "The Mirror," the frontman ripped up a reunion contract promising $800 million for a reunion tour in front of a room full of promoters. The deal included an evenly distributed revenue split for Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones. Jason Bonham, who would have filled in for his father and original Led Zep drummer John, would have been a salaried player. The rest of the band had signed the contract by the time it got to Plant and his team."Jimmy, John and Jason signed up immediately," a source close to the band told the newspaper. "It was a no-brainer for them but Robert asked for 48 hours to think about it. When he said no and ripped up the paperwork he had been given, there was an enormous sense of shock." -

Trent Reznor Likes Oscar Nominations Way Better Than Winning a Grammy
Trent Reznor's film composition career has been a huge success so far, and he enjoys the praise from the movie industry more than the awards he has collected as a member of Nine Inch Nails. He would rather win an Oscar than a Grammy."Having won a couple Grammys for stupid s--t — best metal performance — it's hard to feel good about the integrity of that," Reznor told "The Hollywood Reporter" recently. "If that's how much you're paying attention to what you're giving out, why should I think that really means anything?"Reznor has never been a fan of the awards show, but that relationship worsened in January when his show-closing performance at the Grammys — with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac — was cut short for a commercial. -
