Walter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 How could I know if Robert was kidding or not. I was not backstage at this concert so I can't say whether this is true or not. I am only stating what I heard him say after "Moby Dick". How can you say that He was kidding? Were you backstage at this concert? I really want to believe that Robert was joking, but I can't say that he was or wasn't. Oh, I don't know - because he was laughing after saying it! It's called humor, listen to the shows and you'll see Robert uses it quite often when referring to the crew and band members.... I can't even believe you are keeping on with this!

Chicago Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Always thought Plant meant that Grant had procured a willing lady to provide the treat mentioned above. I never equated that to a gay thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add: I also Love Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the late, great John Bonham in the same fashion. You're just being silly. Robert got plenty of blow jobs, you're just wrong on the gender.

kingzoso Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 You're just being silly. Robert got plenty of blow jobs, you're just wrong on the gender. Not to "beat" a dead horse (pun intended) and I realize that Robert and Jimmy and John Paul and John Henry got thousands of Blow Jobs during Their time as Led Zeppelin and thousands of more after Their time as Led Zeppelin (- Bonzo), however, it was Robert Plant that made that comment about Blow Jobs and Peter Grant backstage. I did not make this up as others have also heard the same thing. Like I already said, this came out of Our Robert Plant (another pun intended) so how am I to know if He was joking or not? I was not there. I think that unless you or anyone was actually present, how could you really know if Robert Plant was very serious or very joking? By the way, I had very forgotten about this until I just saw it and naturally I had to reply since I was directly challenged by whoever responded to my post of 5 or 6 months ago. In my opinion, Robert Plant is the Greatest Singer of All-Time and Led Zeppelin is the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of All-Time. My feelings on that will never waver. I "Hold No Quarter" on My resolve of this. Who They got Blow Jobs from (then or now), makes no matter and is of no consequence to Me. Unless someone else has something to say to Me about this inane subject, I will only respond accordingly (if at all). I am more interested in talking about the Saint Louis Cardinals beating the Boston Black Sox in the 2013 World Series. If the Cardinals win the World Series, every Player on the team (married or not) will be getting offers for Blow Jobs from all kinds of Groupies, both male and female. I am only a fan and I Love the Females and their Loving and Tenderness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I don't know about the article mentioned but if Page put a curse on Bowie, it didn't work! I read When Giants Walked The Earth: LZ Biography (so I'm basically a LZ professional ) and the author talks about this. The story is basically: Bowie was hanging out with Page and they talked briefly about the occult and then Bowie said something that offended Page and then Page made him leave. Bowie was convinced page put a curse on him. And apparently he was trying to perform a magick ritual or something and his pool lit up and started bubbling and it was definitely something 'not from this world'. Cocaine is a hell of a drug! Who doesn't love that paranoid delusional state?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I certainly don't believe Page cursed Bowie (or anyone else) but I can understand why Bowie -- in his mental state at the time -- might have believed he had been cursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeytoroom101 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Powerful Aura..or just being a queer. Bowie is about as worthless as disco. Anyways, interesting stories, didn't know Bowie was affiliated with anything Zep at all. Great insight there Jethro...thanks for cracking that code. P.S. does that opposable thumb still feel 'weird?'

NealR2000 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The curse thing, if Bowie did in fact believe it, was no doubt based upon youth, his mental state at the time, and the whole Jimmy-Black Magic period which was about at it's height then. Jimmy was certainly fascinated with the subject and I suspect he went along with a lof of the media stories for the image benefits. A lot of people believed the stories, thinking how else do you explain their enormous success and their tragedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juxtiphi Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 During Plant's intro for No Quarter on Feb-13-1975 He say's "This is a song in the meantime about a journey, about an ominous journey through changes that we all know so well and John Paul Jones, who we dont know so well. Its called No Quarter". I wonder what side of Jones he was referring too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealR2000 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My take on that comment is Plant just trying to be funny without it having any actual meaning. It kind of reminds me of his "he's outside parking the car" comment when asked about Jones at (I think) the Hall of Fame event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Stairway To Heaven, Richard Cole mentioned that when Zep arrived in a city, Jones would often give him a phone number where he could be reached in an emergency then take off. No one knew where he went, but since he always showed up on time for gigs they let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
