[The Firm]

I don't dislike Paul Rodgers voice, it's fine but doesn't do anything for me. When I saw the Firm it was a memorable experience because it was the one and only time I saw JP live. I have no idea if he was "on" or not I was totally wired because it was Jimmy "Freakin" Page!!!

I do remember thinking that Paul Rodgers was the most boring frontman ever!

yep, that was what i was gettin' at. don't know what page was thinking.....

[The Firm]

sorry folks, but paul rogers just doesn't cut it.

he couldn't do it with free, he couldn't do it with bad company, he couldn't do it with the firm, and he couldn't do it with queen.

i love jimmy page, but even the yardbirds released the "little games" album. speaking of little games, if they had not gone with mickey most and captured the sound glimpsed at in the "bbc" recordings, there might not have been a led zep (gasp!). alas, while i regret the passing of the "most blueswailing" band, led zep was basically a logical continuation of the same. plant could not only sing, he could wail on the blues harp. jonesy not only played the bass, he had great creative insight like paul samwell-smith (remember "no quarter"?) bonzo.........good lord. i'm not knocking jim mccarty, but there had never been a drummer like bonzo. it was the yardbirds, only BETTER.

paul rogers?

no comparison. no offense to pagey for trying, though. we appreciated the effort.
