Yes, because no one can judge anything unless they are a musician. I confirm and understand.

1) Jack White is 34. Hardly the "old guard". Unless you consider the "New Guard" to be bands such as the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, and whatever other shlock Disney churns cycles in every few years.
2) Led Zepplin irrelevant? Seriously? They're Led Zepplin. They've been around since the 60s. I suppose that means bands like Boston, The Who, and Pink Floyd are no longer relevant?
Suddenly #1 is starting to make a lot of sense. Tell me, do you only base your knowledge on music around the songs you've heard in the last week? Do you use American Top 40 to tell you what's relevant? Yeah...you probably do.

I mean seriously...go back and read some of the drivel getting posted. There's a number of people calling Jack White "old" when he's in his 30s...and just as many people who think that he was only relevant back in the 60s/70s when he wasn't even ALIVE.

If I worked there I'd be mapping all kinds of shiznit, approved or not, for my own collection.
I'll bet someone from HMX has a custom Led Zep: Rock Band sitting on their hard drive, taunting us all.

Now, that's not to say the HMX staffers don't go home and do it on their own time, but I'm guessing there's an unspoken rule at the actual offices to not have those kind of things around.

Just about every popular music publication and blog disagrees with your ass.
So get the fuck out of here.

Ps. Jack White is a piece of shit

This is truly one of those times when your opinion (while not "wrong") is very much misguided and pretty much ignorant of what's actually going on.
06/23/09
Not to mention anyone claiming he's one of the "greatest songwriters" seriously needs to expand their horizons...I am deeply depressed by the mass opinion people formulated thinking The White Stripes are just the most amazing band ever.

@ShoopDaBoofs: Judging by your comments (which amount to "Everything that people likes SUCKS!") I'm going to wager you're one of those "non-conformist" douchebags who shops at Hot Topic because it's "cool" to pretend you know whatever retro TV show their latest batch of shirts has plastered on the front.

Makes you wonder just how much they're talking out of their ass...since they're primary argument is based on on something that's impossible (Jack White being on the radio in the 70s)

Just more old guys crying about the good old days.

Whether the music is better or not is another discussion, but the people who keep whining about how the kids don't like the "classics" just come off to me as, like I said, old guys crying about the good old days. Even if White is just 34, it's the same sentiment.

How the heck is a guy who's 34, still actively producing music between three different bands...and STILL charting today considered "old" or "classic".
If that's old/classic...that would mean the only thing allowed to be "new" and "relevant" would be stuff like Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers simply because they're still in their 20s.
06/23/09
And yet everyone here has heard of the Jonas Brothers.
What does that tell you?
06/23/09
That teenage girls will buy into whatever boy band happens to be oversaturating the market. And then once a younger/cuter boy band starts getting a bit more oversaturated, they'll jump ship right on over to that one and the other will simply get old and not bother.
Case in point: Hansen.

Also to call yourself "The Edge' Makes you almost as big of a douche bag as Bono. If it weren't for GH3 i wouldn't be listening to Muse or Dragonforce, since i don't listen to the shitty ass radio, especially since they are reverting back to playing the same shit they played in the 90's when i did listen to the radio, its one of the few venues other than the Internet where i discover new music. Zepplin should be paying these people to put them in their game, if they don't they will disappear into irrelevancy.
06/23/09
I'm hoping you just forgot the sarcasm tag.
Also I can't even imagine the amount of money they've has been offered to get the rights to a Led Zeppelin Guitar-Rock-Hero-Band game.

Listen i grew up on Zepplin, The Who, all these "Classic" bands, but they arent making music anymore, and MTV sure as fuck aint playing them. You guys can all assume your undying love for a 40 year old band is going to keep them relevant but its just not the case. Its why bands like The Who agreed to do games like rockband, so people like you and i who have kids have a way to keep the music alive.
Children are not out there pursuing the classics of zepplin like you all think, they are listening to the White Stripes who in all his bitching has a song in a video game so he can stay relevant.

That's why bands such as the Backstreet Boys, N-Sync, 98 Degrees, LFO, Hanson, the Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block, and such other popular teeny bopper acts have had such amazing staying power even years after they broke up.
Oh wait.
