Geezer Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 It's good to see that he's taking much interest in music. Attending various concerts, releasing box sets... Maybe studio album and tour are not that far away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe studio album and tour are not that far away? He's been attending other people's concerts for over a decade now without an album & tour of his own. Best to forget about it, it's over.

Bought a copy of their first CD...it's alright, but I've heard that they're a better live act. It's good to see that he's taking much interest in music. Attending various concerts, releasing box sets... Maybe studio album and tour are not that far away? Take it as you will, but Jimmy's manager said in his recent Reddit post that there was "No progress yet" on Jimmy's solo album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to forget about it, it's over. What because he's visiting other people's concerts? So artists that still make music don't see other bands? What a stupid comment.

I totally agree, Stairway. It means nothing only that Jimmy is interested to see other artists still. I'm glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 No, he's pissed because he can't chronicle Pages every move and meal like he could if Jimmy was touring and playing regularly. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetPage Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 All-female Led Zeppelin tribute band 'Lez Zeppelin' played at The Garage in Islington last night. Jimmy Page turned up to watch them play, and stuck around afterwards to meet some of the other bands there that night. ...a link to interview from Lez Zeppelin some time ago, now that Jimmy is seen Gracing "The Show of the Shows" (I can't even imagine myself sitting next to Jimmy, what would I do, watch the show, look at Jimmy, or dream about his scarf, too much all in one evening!!) http://www.examiner.com/article/lez-zeppelin-keeping-the-flame-burning-bright But perhaps even more notable is that they’ve garnered the seal of approval from the surviving members of the legendary British group, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. “They love it,” said Paynes. “When I first began the band, I wasn’t sure. I was a little worried that the guys would look at the name Lez Zeppelin and they would get all upset about it or not like the concept. But I thought that if they had any sense of humor and if they could understand that we’re doing this with the greatest respect and love, which is why I did it in the first place, it’s an uncontestable thing that when we get up there and play, it’s out of pure passion and love for the music and respect for it. And I figured if they don’t like that, then maybe I don’t even want to be doing this. But I had faith that they would, and of course they did. They all know about the band, and I’ve met them all now, and I’ve had the most wonderful encounters with them.”Paynes, Lez Zeppelin’s guitarist, even admits to keeping cool when meeting her counterpart, Mr. Page.“Maybe I was in a state of shock, I don’t know,” she said. “But I was actually very present and we had the greatest conversation. We hit it off.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Eric Clapton has been a touring musician for more than 50 years. It was a rhetorical question for those who keep insisting Jimmy Page is the center of my universe - he isn't. He's just one of many interests. Where's Eric? is also the title of an Eric Clapton fanzine I've contributed concert reviews to from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletMacaw Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think it's great that he can tolerate going to a Lez Zeppelin concert. I would think it might make him depressed to see another band touring when he didn't get that chance for a Led Zeppelin tour in '08 that he wanted. I guess he's decided to accept it and enjoy the flattery and the fact the women seem to be enjoying themselves a lot when they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The ARMS shows revealed who got the biggest response from the crowd. I'm sure Clapton and Beck remember who that was. Jimmy is the most loved of the three, Eric the most respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Lex Zeppelin is a great band. I saw them in a small theatre in Connecticut several months ago. They're fantastic live and play a diverse set of Zeppelin music in two one hour sets. The whole crowd was so into it! Go see them if they ever come around your area. Certainly good enough for Jimmy Page to go and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The above video of WLL was the only thing that bothered me when I saw the girls live. I thought the whole theramin part of the song was way to long and overdone. As Steve said, it was quite like Spinal Tap. Other than that, they play well and put on a great show!
