wallis-anne-young Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm sorry, I just don't understand why do you all think there will be something else on the site today, the gallows pole was an actual "Gallows Pole" and that's it right?

SteveAJones Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Anyway, back to topic... who else is at work and has one window in his/hers browser on jp.com and pressing f5 every now and then? )). What else are you expecting? I already said yesterday there would be no announcement, just a new On This Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magerogue Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Its nothing new or big, just Jimmy talking bout how he got around to create and arrange the Zeppelin version of Gallows Pole. It's in his website already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 So, what was in his FB site? People, you are so impatient. I'm seeing tour dates and a new album. Oh, wait. That's Eric Clapton.

LivingLovingHeartbreaker Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 ^ Ouch! but it's true and sad. I wonder if he's afraid of the way the industry has changed. I think he really wants to put something out, but he's intimidated in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percys_Plant Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 .....to be honest, I just don't think he's really all that motivated any longer. I mean the man has given us 40+ years of music and if he simply wants to take his time and do absolutely nothing for the rest of his life, he should be allowed to do so. Though it does get a little aggravating with all the teasers and promises, but at this point, one can't keep holding his or her breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scylla Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This is really cool! I really hope that he's planning to write about every Zep song, not just his favourites. And that he'll include audio for all the "originals" of the songs that draw on blues stuff. And that he'll go into the stories behind lyrics, not just music. . . (Easily pleased. Hadn't been getting my hopes up, really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This "On This Day" definitely sounds like him; "the first white guy to play the twelve-string guitar." Still, an interesting read to finally know what such a great song was inspired by! While I was a little disppointed, I also felt like it was Jimmy's voice this time.

redirtuo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 "On This Day" would actually be a cool title for a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poortom Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 That post on Facebook said nothing about a announcement, and the person that started this thread mislead you. Thats where your 'disappointment' is, not in Mr. Pages' hands. I started the post because nothing has been put on facebook like this before about Jimmy Page, my intent was not to mislead anybody, i just thought it might be a bit of info.

Well if Clapton is the comparison perhaps we should be thankful Jimmy isn't cranking out solo stuff regularly. Edited to add: but I do wish he would play live half as often as Eric.

kenog Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 STZ, Completely in agreement with you, particularly about him making these promises, and then not delivering. If he said nothing, no one would expect him to do any work at his time in life. I can't see him going on tour at approaching 70 years old - why would he want to be living out a suitcase at that age? If he had any decent new material, he would have released it by now. The best I think we can hope for is if there are any unheard tracks incorporated into the new boxed sets. i agree that he should be allowed to do whatever he wants. the only problem i have is that he keeps making promises about new material, new bands, tours .... over and over for years now. i just don't think it's right of him to say these things if he has no intention of doing them. now, if he does have the intention, and things keep happening to prevent them, well ....

Percys_Plant Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Re: the whole 'making promises and not keeping them thing' - further thinking makes me believe that the guy must be under a lot of pressure. Everyone expects him to do something, and with every interview where he's asked about it, the automatic response is "something is in the works". The weight of everyone's expectations, and his catering to those expectations by making all these promises aren't helping. Does he feel it's now an obligation to keep the spirit of Zeppelin alive or the pressure to make them more relevant? [because I honestly don't see why he has to stress over it. all the accolades and awards they're receiving now should show that they are always going to be relevant in some shape or form] So bottom line...what should be his motivation now? What is that extra spark/kick he's looking for? [and if anyone answers this, I'm not looking for the generic answer of 'Plant'] He can't really be that dependent on Robert, can he?
