Here's an extract from Ronnie Wood's autobiography:
"He (Peter Grant) told me that a bunch of blokes were putting a band together and intended to call themselves the New Yardbirds. Peter said, 'They want you as their guitar player.'
Well, I'd met a few of them up at his office, including the rude drummer John Bohnam, who reminded me of a farmer, bassist John Paul Jones and the harmless enough Robert Plant, and I told Peter, 'No, I'm happy where I am thanks.'
He insisted, 'This is an offer you really must consider.'
I considered it for two seconds, and then told him again, 'No way'. The New Yardbirds hired Jimmy Page instead and changed their name to Led Zeppelin."
WTF it is???
