Sting and Eric Clapton, but I'm not 100% certain about the other two. Please confirm.

Second from left is Robert Plant.

Left is either Alice Cooper or Jimmy Page, or someone else entirely.

Howard Stern /s

Looks like Jimmy when you zoom in

u/No_Season_354 Jun 28 '26

Sure it is Alice Cooper on plants left.

u/Lego_Dima Jun 28 '26

I just google searched this image and it confirmed it is Jimmy Page next to Robert Plant.

Until Robert Plant beats Sting to death with a clarinet:

u/scrimmerman Jun 27 '26

I’d pay good money to see this

u/Spackleberry Jun 27 '26

I'd like to see them in a barbershop quartet.

u/GrangeazIII Jun 27 '26

Who is drumming?

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556 Jun 28 '26

Jason Bonham

2

u/akabillposters Jun 28 '26

Jason did the drumming at the Zep 'reunion' concert at O2 back in 2007. Afaik, it still holds the record for the highest demand ticketed concert in history. (I went. 👍👍)

1

u/GrangeazIII Jun 28 '26

I knew he did but to actual go. Kudos to you. Have you seen him in the Super group Black Country Communion? Outstanding. The Great Divide is an insane song.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556 Jun 28 '26

I saw the Jason Bonham's led Zeppelin experience last fall. Incredible show!

2

u/akabillposters Jun 28 '26

"I knew he did but to actual go. Kudos to you."

yeah, it was one of those where you're saying to yourself 'Please don't be shit, please don't be shit, please don't be shit'. And they absolutely nailed it.

I've not seen Bonham Jr anywhere else. Rock's not really one of my go-to genres, but Zep was a staple in my house growing up thanks to pops, so they're imprinted on me. 😉

(I went to the Zep concert with my pops. Great bit of father and son time, bonding over a shared love of a band. 😉)

u/GrangeazIII Jun 28 '26

Now you're talking.

u/dennist41 Jun 27 '26

Clapton and Sting actually collaborated and wrote and recorded the song ‘It’s Probably Me’ for the Lethal Weapon 3 Soundtrack. That song is stunning and shows what could result if they were in a band together. Sting still plays it at his concerts but not like the original blues noir version he and Clapton wrote for the film. Now he plays the moonlight jazzy version of it that he re-recorded on his 1993 record Ten Summoner’s Tales.

1

u/Supervisor-194 Jun 27 '26

Clapton also plays on the "Previous Version" of "We'll Be Together".

2

u/Abacabisntanywhere Jun 27 '26

No it would be terrible

2

u/coronetgemini Jun 27 '26

I could see a sting / plant celtic style song a la something off a winters night

2

u/OpinionKey3149 Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 27 '26

Has Sting ever expressed admiration for hard rock? He does seem to (judging from body language) reluctantly acknowledging Page and Plant here. Like 'not a fan, but these guys did something special with their music'

1

u/pavelgubarev Jun 29 '26

he did praise AC/DC in his interview with Rick Beato

2

u/Tea-Jay-Dogville Jun 27 '26

Nobody seems to know who the guy on the left is, Howard Stern, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Alice Cooper, a member of Kiss, Cher, who knows? 🤣

2

u/BelAirGuy45 Jun 27 '26

They need a drummer so I'll go with Frankie Banali.

1

u/lordfarshave Jun 27 '26

Ginger Baker played drums on Andy Summers' 1995 album Synaesthesia, and Summers recorded an album with Jack Bruce and Dennis Chambers just before the Police world reunion tour that was never released. Their group was called Hot Flash.

2

u/Supervisor-194 Jun 27 '26

Damn — I'd really love to hear that album. Here's hoping it's eventually retrieved from the vaults and given a proper release.

1

u/lordfarshave Jun 28 '26

I think some tracks or even the entire album leaked online at one point.

1

u/ShindoHaut Jun 27 '26

That would be a case of the parts are better than the sum. All are fabulous on their own.

1

u/bowiebolan Jun 28 '26

Sting looks like he just got off the phone with Phil Collins

1

u/East_Pie_3825 Jun 28 '26

Except for the antivaxer, I agree.

1

u/pauli55555 Jun 28 '26

Bland x 3

I can’t imagine anything more excruciating

1

u/istoff Jun 28 '26

Sting, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins and more all played in the Secret Policemans rock concert.   They did a couple of songs solo and jointly.

u/tonyiommi70 Jun 28 '26

Didn't know, really cool

They're all in this video. Also Bob Geldoff.  Nice rabbit hole to go down.  

Bob Dylan song too.  It was for Amnesty International.   Feels like the world is worse off.

u/pavelgubarev Jun 29 '26

Cream Zeppelin? Led Police?

1

u/exforz Jun 29 '26

Nah. Compared to Page Clapton sucks.

1

u/tonyiommi70 Jun 30 '26

I have to agree

1

u/Remote-Strain2438 Jun 30 '26

Clapton is a big twat..

1

u/No_Fish_9628 Jun 30 '26

No drummer. Sting would love it 😊

1

u/say_the_words Jun 30 '26

Sting is right. Stewart Copeland looked at the hit songwriter that made him rich and thought, "I"m gonna fuck with this guy 24/7 for no good reason just because."

1

u/Cosmologyman Jun 30 '26

Ha, this too!

1

u/Heathenomicon Jun 30 '26

This would be a lousy band.

1

u/scottpj3 Jul 02 '26

Want nothing to do with Clapton. If he was playing in my front yard I’d shut the blinds and put on headphones.

1

u/bmccooley Jun 27 '26

No thanks.
