I've NEVER understood why artists say "We dont have to prove a shit". Its exactly opposite- you HAVE prove that you are worthy of status and image that you already have out there. I love and adore Mr.Page but all you fanatics have to face it-for last 12years Page has been sitting on his ass. Yeah he did DVD,O2,IMGL and handful of other minor things but thats nothing in comparison of how active Plant and JPJ have been. As Page has said himself he is at his best when under pressure-I hope this will be the case.

Uh, I'm on my phone atm but it was posted on the same day when Page and Jones played with FF @Wembley'08.

Nah. TCV is a band on its own. JPJ and Homme are main song-writers in that band. Someone with musical ability that Page has would destroy inner balance of it. And it would also lead to a lot of unnecessary questions. TCV is another chance for Homme to establish himself as lead player,musician of highest level. Someone legendary as Page would over-shadow that. And in OTD he sounded quite bitter about TCV.
