  1. What I'm curious about is while this took place, did it drive a wedge that caused the Page/Plant era come to an end.
  2. Interesting article from manager Bill Cubishley. Sorry if previously posted. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/bill-curbishley-the-who-lot-artists-old-days-bullied-hate-bullies/
  3. I found it exciting when it was released. David was always more of a metal guy, where Plant was more worldly. Other than a blonde dye and perm, not really the same approach. I guess Dave did steal the car in the video idea from Burning Down One Side too.....Whisper A Prayer For The Driving
  4. Great comments on here! If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the Dixon lawsuit around the time the box set was released? To me, it's timing. As a guitarist myself, I find it not close mechanically. I wore my '77 tour shirt to work today. It's funny how kids(I'm 42) today believe anything news and media put out. I got the lawsuit and how every song was ripped off. I stopped listening to Stern after his attack on Zep. Sure, Robert nic'd some lyrics. But the output from the band was beyond lifting songs. I think one thing that turns Plant off, is things like this. I will just laugh at the haters. Look at what mainstream pop/rock is today, and these people are critiquing music from the golden age. They can stick to selfies and American Idol-The Voice rubbish.....
  5. I enjoyed seeing Jason's show last summer, and I think he's doing it right by not just working as a tribute band, but doing other projects. I hope Jimmy taps into Jason if he ever makes new music. Jason's come along way since the outrider project.
  6. Thanks for posting that luvlz2. I wonder how much of the material they mentioned is tucked away. Love to hear it
  7. Bon Jovi next week for an over night with my wife. She has been dying to see them again, so we're going to Louisville next week. Not their biggest fan, but sometimes you gotta give them what they want....chance I might catch Clutch this Friday night.....
  8. Former Robert Plant guitarist Robbie Blunt was working with Julian during this period.
  9. I'd love Jimmy to make an album of the songs that inspired him. Like that scene in It Might Get Loud, Jimmy getting into the groove of Link Wray's "Rumble". And stuff like "Let's Play House". As someone else said, he seems like he only has the fire to do stuff with Robert as far as touring. The man can do as he pleases, and I'm happy for what he has done. I also respect Robert for following his musical taste. How many members of bands of thier era reformed for the cash parade? And even Page/Plant kept ticket prices well below what they could have charged. I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy doesn't ever make a new disc. And hanging onto hope he does, can be summed up by one of his songs........Wasting My Time.........
  10. Thanks Steve. I always enjoy and appreciate your insight. I do think Jimmy seemed to be enjoying working with David from the rehearsal videos that were posted. It's a shame that such a talented artist is so hung up on what will never be. Like I said, I don't really enjoy some of Robert's country flavors, but respect him for always moving. Even JPJ does a variety of projects. I wish Jimmy would do something original, rock, blues, folk, middle eastern, just something. Jimmy can sit in with guys, like JPJ does, but Jonesy still manages to record, even if it's on other people's records. It's like Jimmy lost his fire.
  11. I find David's interview in jam that was posted on page seven of this thread. Never knew of the problems with Jimmy's manager. Also funny to hear about how Plant went to early Whitesnake shows and that his daughter, Carmen was a fan. People can judge artist as they may. I liked it from the time of it's release. I'm not a big fan of Robert's country side of his last few, but own them and find something to like. I do respect Coverdale for his kindness towards Jimmy when mentioned. I'd like Steve's take on Jimmy's manager at the time. I met a guy backstage, part of Jason's crew with Charles West as vocalist, on a Jason Bonham tour wearing a Outrider jacket, and won't share the story, but can easily see where managers have their own agendas
  12. The fact that I've seen the singer of GFR say this in multiple interviews is telling in and of itself. Glad you have to invoke Led Zeppelin to try to fluff yourself. I love Led Zeppelin, and know there where nights when the wheel didn't roll on. But any musician with intellect wouldn't make comments like that. GFR could never touch the depth of the musical spectrum that was Led Zeppelin.........
  13. Ready for spring.....

  14. Steve, I still have my tour shirt, like the one Robert is pictured wearing. I think I was a junior in high school when I got it.......lol
  15. I would put it in my top 5 Zep songs. Even though the DVD is touched up, still very moving. The Page/Bonham interplay is pure bliss, and Robert's lyrics are great. Jonesy pounding it out. Gotta love it
  16. LOL, I remember hearing an interview with Robert talking about that. Didn't he play some guitar on rockline when he was promoting Manic? That album came out my senior year of HS, and remember being the guy that got made fun of in the parking lot playing it, while others were playing White Lion, Slaughter, and Skid Row.........
  17. I enjoyed the tour in support of Manic Nirvana. Love the funk of S S S & Q.....
  18. I remember going on vacation that summer in 1985 when the album came out, and my dad's friend who went with us had it. 6's & 7's is probably my favorite track, but I like Pink and Black and Easily lead as well. On a funny side note, the picture of Robert inside the album sleeve is what I showed my neighbor who was a hairdresser so she could give me a Plant-perm.....lol Hey, it was the 80's...lol
  19. Great band. They were great musicians, and great writers. As with Zep, I prefer the more non-radio friendly tracks. Stuff like Free-Four from Obscured By Clouds. Lucifer Sam is another amazing track, I think Sid sang. I really don't compare bands, because to me, songs or bands capture a mood or a moment for me.
  20. I pulled out the Shaken and Stirred disc for my drive to work today, and it has been some time since I've listened to it. Sixes and Sevens is such an overlooked gem from Robert. He sings with such melancholy, I wonder what was the inspiration behind it. Anyone else care for it? Sixes and Sevens
  21. The little between song interviews are old. I was hoping something new would happen. And why only 2 months? If this project is moving on without Plant as it seems, why not tease use with some snippets and reports........
  22. Ever see Robert play Custard Pie live? He really nails the harp. And Jimmy played harmonica on the Coverdale/Page song Pride and Joy......
  23. Great stuff. This has to be one of the best Zep threads on any message board
  24. Zep era-Tea For One Solo-Sixes and Seven's from Shakin' and stirred
  25. I've been getting into Elbow. Anyone else like these guys from the UK?
