No hay más Led Zeppelin

A pesar de lo dicho ayer, Peter Mensch, manager del guitarrista Jimmy Page, se retractó totalmente en eso que la banda buscaría un reemplazo al ultragenial Robert Plant para seguir rockeando y toureándola por el mundo tras su show de 2007 en el O2 Arena de Londres por el poder de la música más sexual de la historia. No habrá más Led Zeppelin, no hay planes de que lo haya.

Mensch comentó: "Led Zeppelin se acabó. Si no los vieron en el 2007, se los perdieron. Probaron reemplazantes a Robert Plant, pero nada funcionó. Se acabó. No hay planes para continuar. Francamente, ojalá todos dejaran de hablar al respecto."

Los fans no están nada contentos, especialmente los británicos, considerando los precios delirantes de las entradas del show reunión.

¿Y a ti? ¿Qué te parece todo esto?

'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer: An Expert Analysis!

We break down what we know so far about the return to Gotham City — and take a stab at some lingering questions.

The "Dark Knight Rises" teaser trailer flickered across movie screens over the weekend, and then popped up online Monday afternoon. It features so many elusive references and inspired so much we-can't-wait-until-the-2012-theatrical-release anticipation that we're still talking about it today.

So the MTV Movies team settled in for a detailed breakdown of what's been unveiled, the new questions raised, and what the whole thing tells us about next year's cinematic return to Gotham City.

Batman, Where It All Began
Director Christopher Nolan has spoken openly about how this film will bring his Caped Crusader trilogy to a conclusion, closing the narrative loop that kicked off with 2005's "Batman Begins." In that sense, it's appropriate the trailer starts with footage (and voiceover, courtesy of Liam Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul) from the original film. We also see Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne here as a man on a mission, very much an outcast from society and attempting to rediscover his true self. That's quite similar to the way we might find him at the start of "Dark Knight Rises" — Batman shunned from Gotham City after his battle with the Joker in "Dark Knight."

Beyond this thematic and visual connection, the early trailer footage indicates that the League of Shadows — the crew of martial arts badasses who trained Wayne before coming to battle him — will in fact play a key role in the new film. Where it gets interesting is that Ra's Al Ghul apparently died in "Batman Begins," but Neeson was reportedly spotted on the "Dark Knight Rises" set and is featured prominently, at least in voice, in the trailer. Very interesting ...

Commissioner Desperation
Jim Gordon, it's safe to say, has seen better days, which is saying a lot, considering how much crap he's been through in the last two films. The commissioner has been shot and had to fake his own death, but none of that compares to his plight here: curled up in a hospital bed, sucking on an oxygen mask and praying that the Batman will return from exile. Gordon has suffered some sort of beatdown, but why and from whom?

The implication of what he's saying is that Gotham City is in trouble. We've seen in the teaser poster and through this trailer that the urban environment is literally crumbling to the ground. Desperation, both emotional and physical, seems to be the theme of the trailer — a stark contrast to the hopeful tone of the title, "Dark Knight Rises." Gordon here is begging Wayne to rise again; when and why he does remains to be seen.

The Caped Quitter
As we've already mentioned, Batman quits his role as the protector of Gotham City at the end of "Dark Knight." This scene of Wayne doing push-ups, which comes from "Batman Begins," is another flashback to a character attempting to rebuild (or create out of whole cloth) a new self. We'll greet Batman in "Dark Knight Rises" as a man without a legacy, without a rock-solid reputation, a superhero who has to start from the ground up. That's not going to be easy. Thus, in this context, this scene almost seems like it's part of Wayne's "Rocky"-esque training sequence. That, or an outtake from "The Prestige."

Facing Bane
We've seen a glimpse of Tom Hardy's Bane in a sneak-peek photo, but this is the first time we're seeing his face. While Bane's look is related to his comic book roots, Nolan once again has shown a willingness to update these iconic visuals; Bane's mask is far more S&M badass than the luchador-like villain from the comics. Yet it's only the briefest of looks, speaking to Nolan's deft touch with teasers: Fans are forced to watch the trailer again and again, pausing and rewinding as we seek to study this key bad guy.

Listen to That Crowd
As the trailer wraps up, we hear some ominous chanting. These are sounds we've heard since the beginning of the "Dark Knight Rises" promotional campaign in a viral video. The chanting sounds cultish and foreign and scary; put another way, it sounds like the handiwork of the League of Shadows. We're likely to hear more of that chanting in the months before release, and we'll hear a heck of a lot of it in the movie itself.

The question remains: How does Bane fit into the League of Shadows-heavy story line? How does that baddie come to blows with Batman, as we see toward the end of the trailer? That last shot of the two men facing off has the feel of a boxing match, the scene caught by a handheld camera, Batman bouncing up and down like he's in the ring. Noteworthy in that shot, as well, is a mysterious character in the upper right-hand corner: Who is that and why would Nolan include him or her in the trailer? "Dark Knight Rises" detectives out there, it's time to get to work!

Check out everything we've got on "The Dark Knight Rises."

Coldplay, Led Zeppelin Album Covers Featured On New British Stamps

On Thursday (January 7), the U.K.'s Royal Mail unveiled a series of 10 new stamps, honoring the most iconic album covers of the past 40 years.

The albums featured in the new series are the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed, Led Zeppelin's IV, David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, The Clash's London Calling, New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies, Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Pink Floyd's The Division Bell, Blur's Parklife and — the most recent album on to make the cut — Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head.

Meant to honor "the most potent graphic images of modern times, many of which have provided a visual soundtrack to people's lives," the series is the end result of a lengthy research process by the Royal Mail, who looked through thousands of album covers by British artists before deciding on the final list. And, during a Wednesday night BBC Radio broadcast, it was revealed that the queen herself actually approved each design.

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page — who helped design the cover for IV — was on hand to celebrate the release of the stamps and recalled the mysterious nature of the album's iconic imagery.

"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time."

Of course, any great honor is befitting of an equally great contest, so, on the same day the stamps were made available to the general public, Coldplay decided to give one of their Rush of Blood stamps away. In a message on their official site, the band held a contest to send one lucky fan "a letter using a Coldplay stamp, postmarked with today's issue date."

"We visited our local post office earlier today and bought some of the Coldplay stamps," the message read. "Very nice they are too."

'Twilight' Stars Tease 'Epic' Finale At Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO — MTV News returned to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and thanks to the magic of the Internet, we've brought you along for all the festivities. We caught up with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner from "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," and several of their castmates — Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser and Julia Jones — came by to talk to us live.

"The great thing about Comic-Con is that it never feels like work," Lautner told us. "We come down to San Diego, we hang out together, we go in a room with 7,000 fans, it's fun. It's our way of thanking the fans. It's amazing that they still camp out and have that same amount of passion that they always have."

We invited you to send questions via Twitter to @MTVNews with the hashtag #mtvsdcc, and we were very happy to provide some answers. Our live stream was full of "Twilight" revelations, pontifications and ruminations from the cast and director Bill Condon (as well as some expert "Twilight Saga" fans) about the first part of the saga's epic conclusion, which doesn't hit theaters until November 18.

Your Twitter questions ran the gamut from specific story questions to wondering whether the stars have Googled themselves and which of them have watched "The Vampire Diaries" and "True Blood." But mostly everyone wanted to know what it felt like for the cast to wrap up the cinematic adaptation of the popular romantic/supernatural novels that kicked off the current vampires-and-werewolves craze.

"I think the most surreal experience was getting married [in the movie]," Stewart told us of the "Breaking Dawn" filming process, pointing out that the entire cast was anxious to see how it would all go down. "It had a feeling — I don't want to say it felt like a real wedding, [but] it definitely felt like a ceremony."

"For me, personally, the last day, when we wrapped, I didn't believe it," Jones told us during the live stream. "I hadn't even thought that was possible. I just stood there like a zombie. People started hugging me. 'You're wrapped! You're wrapped!' I was in a little bit in a daze."

"I think I'm going to miss the community," she added. "I realize how valuable it is that there's this big group of us and we keep meeting up all over the place and going on this ride together."

Reaser told us she wrapped "at the exact same moment" as her "show husband," Peter Facinelli. "We were crying a lot. We were just completely shocked and hugging. We went out and we had a little meal together. It was surreal. But it was nice that I got to have a moment with Peter."

Reed was also focused on the different character pairings in the film. "I was really nervous about the relationship between Rosalie and Bella," she said during our live stream. "It is a very special dynamic, and I wanted to make sure the transition happened naturally and organically. I wanted to make sure my head was in the right place. I'm a nervous wreck about all of these movies."

"I've been waiting to film 'Breaking Dawn.' It's juicy," Lutz said. "It's a way larger production. We shot some really epic scenes that took multiple, multiple days."

"Twilight" isn't the only major franchise at San Diego Comic-Con, of course. We'll launch another live stream at 6 p.m. ET/ 3 p.m. PT on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, we'll have appearances from Justin Timberlake and Lautner (this time promoting "Abduction") and exclusives from "Cowboys & Aliens" and "Thundercats."

Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."
