Nope. Any band calling themselves 'Led Zeppelin' would have to go against the original thing. I doubt that it ever will happen and actually it's something that raises my already boundless admiration for these guys. They never cashed in on the past in a cheap way and yet it was stunning how well they were able to deliver the old songs on that Page/Plant tour. And it was 'Page/Plant' and not 'Led Zeppelin Revisited'.

The Beatles and Led Zeppelin were the 2 best bands ever IMO and it's no coincidence for sure that both of them never regrouped under their old name.
