Legendary guitar based band The Yardbirds are joining the reunion bandwagon of 2007, with founding members Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck coming together for the first time in four decades with their original line up of bassist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty. McCarty and Dreja have prolonged the Yardbirds for the time being since Page and Beck have no been apart of the band. When Page left to join Led Zeppelin, he was replaced by Eric Clapton and the rest is history. After many line up changes and singers, the band is said to tour this fall, no word on who is singing, the original singer died in 1976.
