Led Zeppelin Reunion 'Unlikely,' Says Band After Blasting Reporters (VIDEO)
Led Zeppelin made an awkward public appearance on Monday in promotion of a film about their last reunion concert. The band members blasted the press, referring to some as "not real reporters."
Led Zeppelin held a press conference Monday afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art to promote the soon to be released film "Celebration Day." The film commemorates the band's last reunion concert, which took place in 2007. But when reporters asked about another possible reunion, some of the band member became visibly agitated, according to reports.
"I mean, we've been thinking about all sorts of things," singer Robert Plant said. "And then we can't remember what we were thinking of. Schmuck."

The insult came after Plant had already suggested that not all of the members at the press conference were "journalists."
"There are some people in here who are not journalists," he said at the start of the conference. "There's a masseuse in here who's not a journalist. I think that's ever so exciting."
But Plant was not the only one to criticize members of the press. Guitarist Jimmy Page was subtler. When asked if the band would ever be getting back together again, he stated that it had already been over five years.
"Seems pretty unlikely, doesn't it?" Page said.
Plant later hinted at why he may have come off seemingly bitter, but suggesting that high expectations had taken a toll on the band, making the experience less worthwhile.
"I think expectations are a horrific thing. If you go off and play in North Africa, you know you're going to have a good time and work with people and there's nothing else about it," Plant told Rolling Stone magazine. "That's how we started in a room with Jason's dad all that time ago. So to do anything at all together is such a kind of incredible weight, because sometimes we were f------ awful."
