    It always makes me wonder how four talented and beautiful people got together, liked each other enough to work together for 12 years,

    and then after 30+ years, still can remain friends. Just amazing.

  2. she must have been distracted by something

    When I was a naive pre-teen, I always wondered why the photographers perferred low angle shots whenever they had a chance to take a picture of our Golden God...

  3. The Who was / is a great band no doubt about it, but they and nobody have ever given the shock and awe listening to [Whole Lotta Love] for the first time has given me.

    Almost every LZ song is enough to make any band proud - from [LZ1] to [Physical Graffiti] their albums were one long stream of pure brilliance, exploding creativity,

    and unsurpassable genius.

    And honestly as a woman, LZ oozes so much sexual energy - I can rock hard to [i Can See for Miles], [My Generation], and [Won't Get Fooled Again]

    but listening to LZ excites me, turns me on, makes me lightheaded. Of course, LZ songs are sometimes downright dirty and explicit but I'm not talking about just sex.

    What I'm trying to say is their music convinces me they were capable of everything and anything and I kind of want to lose myself in their power.

    It is repulsive to even think that I can be such a hero-worshipping, spit-drooling, totally fangirling person, but at the same time I think why not,

    why I have to deny myself something that feels so great. The Who, with all their glory and talent, has never done that to me.

  4. I would like to think of our working relationship as very special. Ive never had anyone else that I can approach with any sort of unusual musical idea—no matter how strange they might be—and receive immediate reactions. Robert and I have always had this understanding that is almost impossible to describe. - Jimmy Page(from an interview with [Hit Parader])

    Isn't that sweet?

  5. Hahaha, last Friday my family had a little gathering and watched LZ DVDs. (Yes, we are that kind of a family...)

    And one of my sisters sighed, "Robert Plant was too beautiful to be true..."

  6. I've heard it somewhere that JPJ didn't like to be photographed / filmed at least in LZ days.

    BTW, I heard [The Lemon Song] the other day. Fantastic to think they did it at one go and more fantastic JPJ's bass.

  7. I've always thought that each member of LZ is "arguably" the best of his field

    except Bonham. I've never heard a rock drummer with more power, precision, speed, timing, subtlety, groove...

    He was simply the best. RIP, John Henry Bonham.

  8. But he was perfect at that RAH gig... his knit vest and jeans... god, only Zeppelin's music can be as beautiful as Jimmy...

    Q: Your best and worst haircut?
    JP: The worst decision was not cutting my hair before doing the Unledded project [with Robert Plant in 1994]. I should have cut it five years before. And it was incredibly long at Led Zeppelin's Albert Hall gig in '70 [as featured on 2003's DVD]. It was verging on the realm of [curly-haired ukulele-playing singer] Tiny Tim at that stage. That's not a fashion high point.

    So right about 1994 (the inspiration at that point was Bozo the clown, I reckon); so wrong about 1970. It was beautiful.
