Robert Plant interview 2005

A rarely seen unearthed interview with Robert Plant from 2005.
I was living in Toronto working at MuchMoreMusic (Canadian music TV station).
I had created a new series called “We’re With The Band”…simple concept, spend a day or two with a well-known music artist and document the fun times.
Two episodes had already aired (Motley Crue and Motorhead).
Robert Plant was supposed to have been episode #3. We had shot an interview with Robert Plant, his band Strange Sensation, a fun meet & greet pre-show and the live show…all at Toronto’s Molson Amphitheatre in the summer of 2005.
I would take a position in Edmonton several weeks later and the episode never got produced.
Only a few minutes would air a day or two later after being shot.
Here is the complete, unedited interview with the legend himself, a hero to me…Robert Plant!

Last night in a dream we had a full life together. He was kind, fun, great conversations, practical moments on a car drive. Brought me here. I woke up missing him. 😂

I really like Plant's self assured posture. Ive seen a number of his interviews and he seems to sincerely believe in what he doing and always gives props to his band; this is key and demonstrates that his real desire to have an ensemble experience. Obviously being Robert Plant carries advantages of confidence but he says what he means w/o concern for politeness or gratuitous self promotion. He's good and knows it and wants to share it others(musicians) as good as himself. He continues to seek personal growth.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kathyclark3168]

I agree and it shows in his music nowadays with Carry Fire in 2017, Raise the Roof, Raising Sand and much more in 2024. He's touring and already had sold out shows in the UK. He and Alison Krauss will start their US tour this June in Tulsa. 😊

Bill...just watch how engaged Robert is in this interview...he LIKES the questions and you are really helping him open up. I think YOU could tell at this early point that this was a really important album for Robert. Before this album came out, I (personally) was pretty sad that Robert had put an end to his reunion with Jimmy. But when this album came out, I suddenly was very excited about the prospect of Robert Plant as a solo artist. I realized that he had just released his strongest album since probably 1976's Led Zeppelin album PRESENCE. THANK YOU for posting these interviews & documentaries!!🙂

Never saw this before, great interview.

[@stefmon68]

I love an interviewer who can keep Robert on his toes.

[@WelychkaBill]

Cheers!

[@Hyporama]

He is exactly right and extremely sober

[@eaaivazian]

Bill, your channel truly is a treasure. I moved to Chicago in 2007 after living my first 32 years in Canada...and I miss the old days of watching MuchMusic and ESPECIALLY MuchMoreMusic. Recently discovering this channel and watching these interviews from your archive (plus some of the career-spanning documentaries you produced/edited) has really made me happy! Thank you, sir.

[@WelychkaBill]

I thank you for your words and time. Cheers, Mate! (BTW...moving to Chicago must have been awesome! Cheap Trick! Liz Phair! Eddie Vedder! Veruca Salt! Local H! The Blackhawks!!!)

[@eaaivazian]

@@WelychkaBill Thanks very much! And you're so right, Bill...Chicago is a dream! Cheap Trick indeed! Vedder! Phair! Belushi! I don't know if you saw...but my friends & I were very sad that we all lost Steve Albini recently, who was still running his recording studio in Chicago.😥 Not sure if you ever had a chance to meet or interview Albini...but he was one of the greats! And yes...the Blackhawks are legends. BUT...(though I may be foolish) I still hold out hope for the Leafs one day winning the Stanley Cup! Keep up the great work! Thanks again.☺

Время остановить невозможно. Как РОБЕРТ ПЛАНТ старается сохранять фигуру, как питается, плавает ли в холодном море?

[@laureanne3409]

Awesome to hear his insights into his music.

I've never been to the Sahara, but Mojave will always be my favorite desert.❤

[@gregoryharris8862]

Nice...

[@helenespaulding7562]

And two years later, it happened with Krauss. He was right: It was in the cards.

[@sarahmatz4858]

He's right....Music today is a bit of a yawn.

[@sicotshit7068]

I don’t even listen to todays music, I listen to the classic rock, & crank up my Led Zeppelin music. I also love the old Motown type music, I couldn’t tell you who the new so called artists are, it’s to fake.
