Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll actor and comedian Denis Leary is featured in a new video interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, during which he says he understands why bands break up. What he doesn’t understand is why they just don’t get back together.
“You hear about Robert Plant getting offered $800 million to tour with Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page this past summer," says Leary. "He just couldn’t bring himself to do it. I mean, when I hate people, I really hate people. I come from an Irish family, and we express our rage. We hate each other. We hold grudges. But if you came to me and said, ‘I’m going to give you $800 million to, you know, run around naked while Led Zeppelin’s onstage,’ I’m naked for the summer, you know what I mean?”
In the new FX sitcom, Leary plays Johnny Rock, whose ambitious daughter (Elizabeth Gillies) wants him to get his old band back together. They’re not offered Led Zeppelin money, but there’s a similar theme of trying to work through past history at play.
