Robert Plantsays that he is "disappointed and baffled" byJimmy Page's recent remarks regardingPlant's on-again, off-again interest in aLED ZEPPELINreunion.

In May,Page, who was promoting the deluxe reissues of the first threeZEPPELINalbums, finally came out and blamedPlantfor being the bandmember thwarting any hopes of aZEPPELINreunion tour. During a lengthily interview withThe New York Times,Pagesaid, "I was told last year thatRobert Plantsaid he is doing nothing in 2014, and what do the other two guys think? Well, he knows what the other guys think. Everyone would love to play more concerts for the band. He's just playing games, and I'm fed up with it, to be honest with you. I don't sing, so I can't do much about it. It just looks so unlikely, doesn't it?"

Plant, who last month urgedPageto "go to sleep and have a good rest," found himself confronted with the subject once again while speaking toUncutmagazine.
"I feel for [Page],"Plantsaid. "He knows he's got the headlines if he wants them. But I don't know what he's trying to do. So I feel slightly disappointed and baffled."
Plantwent on to claim that he was interested in collaborating withPageagain but in a slightly different format. "A couple of years ago I said, 'If you've got anything acoustic, let me know," he said. "I'll give it a whirl. It was hands across the water. He just walked away. But we couldn't do anything proper. The weight of expectation is too great."

Pagehas run into the same problems withRobert Plantover the years. Back in 2000,PagetoldThe Pulse Of Radiothat trying keepPlantinterested in their work as a duo had finally proved futile. "And in the end, I just lost... y'know, I thought, 'I can't keep trying to motivate somebody if they just definitely don't seem to want to know.' So, at the moment, there isn't any plans to do anything withRobert."
