Charles J. White Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sparkling? I hope he's not going Glam!? I hope he records whatever he damn well pleases! That was a great interview, he had a sparkle in his eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kid Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Interesting that they show a lot of close ups of his hands, they don't seem to show any signs of severe arthritis. If you want to see someone who has terrible arthritis and plays through it just look at Keith Richards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTM Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Interesting that they show a lot of close ups of his hands, they don't seem to show any signs of severe arthritis. If you want to see someone who has terrible arthritis and plays through it just look at Keith Richards! It is possible to have arthritis in the hands without showing any visible signs. I suffer in both hands where my thumb joints make a cracking noise which can be uncomfortable, sometimes things I am holding just drop from my hand. Only last week a mug of tea just fell from my grip. I'm not much of a guitar player but just playing a few chords can be uncomfortable. I tried physiotherapy, that did not work. Best thing is to do as little as possible that will bring on the discomfort. As we get older these kind of things come to many of us, it's just part of aging, joints wearing out etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Still loaded with 'If' and 'Maybe' and 'I don't know'. If we've seen anything genuinely new by this time next year I'll be very surprised. And believe me, I want to be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZoSo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ross Halfin has been the downfall of Jimmy far as his career. Might be best of friends, and wtfe else, but he has destroyed any chance of Jimmy working again. So say~ith the moron on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrybonzo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Jimmy is the master of ambiguity but he can hardly comment on the internet making up what he is/isn't doing, it all goes back to the Sky News interview of December 2009 where 2010 was the year of Page but so far, not much has come to fruition, i love Page, he's my mentor in sound and stagecraft but bloody hell, the carrot dangling can get old i doubt he scours the the web for what people are commenting but that's whats going to happen if every December he says the same thing, i'm willing to bet money 2015 will be another Page-less year apart from the Remasters and Zeppelin talk. come to think of it, the Page Book interview in london failed to bring up the future even though the updated book has the "it might get louder" quote in print he used to work non stop pre zep, during Zep and did what he could in the 80s, but he always put everything into creating, producing, performing so, as a musician myself, i don't know why the new music or shows haven't happened. Plenty of time has passed and its only Metallica who seem to take 5+ years to make an album but they are a working band, Jimmy isn't in the 9-5 business of it all anymore (albums, performing, promoting etc) so i cant see what the hold up is and the longer it goes on, the bigger the anticipation so for someone who has only performed one full gig in how many years, how do we think it will all turn out? I will take, love and appreciate anything Jimmy is directly or indirectly associated with (apart from the Olympic performance, i'm sorry but i cant have one degree of separation between Jimmy Page and X-factor, to me that never happened ) so anyway, another year has passed and no new material and we are distracted with the remasters which weren't even on the cards in 2009 this isn't a rant, its 5 years worth of standing on a platform for a train that never comes, how typically English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, still absolutely no sign of the archive material that he said he'd been working on and that would be 'unleashed in 2014' (just for the guys who called me a buzzkill at the beginning of the year for doubting the veracity of Jimmys Jan 1st OTD post). http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/16164-jimmy-page-on-this-day-archive/page-162 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdg1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 This guy says Jimmy is a massive fraud. Led Zep only got a class C rating...well thats better than the Eagles who got a class E rating...Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones got Class A rating: http://starling.rinet.ru/music/ledzep.htm Maybe it was no slight coincidence that axeman Jimmy Page wasn't actually a newly-emerged Seventies star, like the whole prog rock generation. Instead, he was hanging around for the whole Sixties, doing almost nothing, and even his short stay in the Yardbirds didn't help his career that much. Sad, but true: he really had little songwriting talent, which, unfortunately, is not a rare thing among great guitarists (take Hendrix or Clapton for further proof). What he did real good was ripping off old bluesmen and folksmen and giving their songs a new dimension, applying clever production values and amazing guitar techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anodizingstatic Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 One of the WORST recent one's I've read in a while: http://www.gq.com/moty/2014/jimmy-page-men-of-the-year Interviewer asks mostly questions about Page's drug use, calls him an addict, and of course his appearance in TSRTS and the whole symbolism behind his occult interest. Just...that's not a way to go about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just...that's not a way to go about things. I already posted that link last week. I didn't like it either, it was like a battle between the two of them, like the interviewer was playing the "how much can I piss him off without pissing him off" game. If you wanna get somewhere with Pagey in an interview, you talk about music with him, you talk about his possible future career, you ask him stuff a Zep fan would be interested in knowing about, like the band/a song/his guitars/whatever. The way this guy mentioned stuff and went about the whole interview was totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they're trying to expose some flaw out of you, which isn't anyone's business. I say worry about yourself and everyone else be damned. That's why LZ was so successful--they don't let interviewers like that guy win them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It is a shame that the shock jocks and the gq writer had these interviews displayed on their websites in a way, that it was an attention getting media thing. But sadly gotcha media, spectacle media, too much information media...has become normal these days. I didnt read any tone...to page's responses, sulky or whatever. Also i dont think either of those interviews phased jimmy page, after experiencing the rock music business and the logistics of rock music touring. I was hoping he would have done an interview on npr radio show, fresh air, on his book tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 JP on BBC 1 the One Show now, on film talking about the origins of STH. edit. Hmmm, this is from months ago, interviewer talks about the upcoming fourth album re-release. ...Swizz, the show intro gave the impression Jimbo was doing a live interview.
