Stone Temple Pilots to Play with Led Zeppelin?

That'd be quite a show, wouldn't it? But is it possible, considering STP has been broken up for nearly 5 years, and Led Zeppelin members have given no indication of a reunion tour besides their one-off performance late last year in London? Well 1/2 of the puzzle is in place already, given the news that Stone Temple Pilots are officially reunited after a secret gig in Los Angeles and plans for an extensive United States tour, including a headlining gig at the nearby Virgin Mobile Festival at Pimlico racetrack in Baltimore.

In fact, one of the primary reasons for STP's revival is a collective hope that they would perhaps be given the chance to open for the legendary Led Zeppelin. I love STP, but something tells me that Page, Plant and company aren't beating down their management company's door to organize a co-bill tour with the 90s alt-rock phenoms.

I for one, am thrilled to hear of STP's reunion. They were one of my favorite bands in the 90s, and I still throw in the album Purple from time to time. I can't seem to get enough of the tune "Interstate Love Song." Maybe a stop at Wolf Trap in 2009? I'll keep my fingers crossed.
