Hard Fi accuse Led Zep of being cash machine
Steven Kemp - drummer with Hard Fi - has moaned about the cost of Led Zeppelin tickets:
"Paying over £100 for a ticket is a joke. Why should you pay so much money for it? These rock 'n' roll dinosaurs are coming out for one last pay cheque."
Now, we've never believed that 'all drummers are stupid', but Kemp might have wanted to think before shooting his mouth off. What with the money from the gig going to the Ahmet Ertegun Education fund, and the band stressing that it was the memory of their former mentor which brought them out of retirement, while there is much about the ticketing process for the event that is open to question, suggesting it's some sort of big pay day makes Kemp look a little cheap.

Is all the money from the handily-issued-at-the-same-time 'remastered best of' going to charity too?
If so, fair enough. If not then the drummer have something of a point.
Except that he was talking about the ticket prices, wasn't he? OK, nevermind.
There is, yes, a knock-on effect from renewed interest - but the remastered best of was happening anyway, wasn't it?
Has he even looked at the most recent ticket prices? And Hannah Montana tickets are higher than whatever super star they come out with.
