  1. Great idea My wish list for P&P includes a cd/dvd set with best of audio and a full length concert with bonus (rehearsals, etc..) R:)
  2. Hope you are doing well. In the studio working on new material. R:)

  3. http://www.zep.com/ There's a bunch of billboards around Atlanta (I-75) with Zep (in a big yellow font in a circle). Turn's out it is an Atlanta based cleaning company (Circa 1937). Perhaps the owner(s) is/are Led Zeppelin fans??? R
  4. Just watched the Jerry Lewis, "Don't Raise The Bridge, Lower The River" this monday on TCM and there was a Yardbirds poster in the background about 30 minutes into the film (that had Jimmy Page and band on it). I checked out the credits and saw this movie was released in 1968. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061591/ R
  5. cool. I'll check it out (just hope he rocks out the new material with a band)... R
  6. You are correct, HotPlant. He must be bored with rock and wants to do something else, who knows??? I was just (personally) disappointed as I waited a year or more for some "good ol', real rock" (and after the letdown of nothing transpiring from the JP/JPJ/Jason project), it was really disheartening (that someone of Chris' calibre and all would want his name associated with something as mediocre and in a completely different format as "Scream"... Simply this: All his record company (Sony/Interscope/Universal) had to do (to not "mislead" consumers into thinking this was a "Rock" record) was to put a sticker on his cd and let his fans know this record would not sound anything like his previous albums and let fans hear samples of the songs, so they could make the decision for themselves. Just as Chris can't make everyone happy, neither you nor I can make everyone happy either, but we can take preventative measures to give others clear communication in advance. I do not blame Chris (at all). You are correct. He is an artist (and a true one at that). I blame his record label's Public Relations/A&R/ Promotions for not clearly communicating that his new work was not resembling his previous work and misrepresented his new one to the public. "Bait and Switch" could have been a good title, but i think that the one they chose, "Scream", probably fits it best.... R
  7. Thanks, HotPlant. Much appreciated. Yes, I agree totally, Paperback Writer... Chris would have been better off doing (anything in a rock format (sing the alphabet or read the phone book) or even a covers album (including his great cover of Michael Jackson's, "Billie Jean" and maybe some Zep covers, too (like HotPlant mentioned above). The "new" sound is not happening (in my opinion), but you can't please everyone. My big question to Chris is, Why??? (to bring attention to himself and then release a "really good album that Rocks (hopefully) and/or a project album with some great musicians like JP or something??? R
  8. That must have been the end of the "ROCK" tour..., because he just added more tour dates for the southeast. I'm hoping these new dates added are ROCK (full band) and NOT (Rap, Pop, new album looped stuff with karaoke dance mix/re-mix with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake) or I won't be there. Anyone know? (Is the new leg of the tour going to be a rock or dance format)??? R
  9. I really appreciate CC and respect that he is trying new music avenues with his new album. I just wish it had something on the label/sticker (front cover) that it was in a different (pop/dance/rap, etc..) format, so I would have held off from buying it (as I was greatly disappointed in 90+% of the new album). I'll be returning the (now) "used" CD to the store this weekend to trade it out for something else that does rock. I do hope that he Rocks out with a full band on his upcoming US tour (and not a dj or taped loops from the cd) as he could alienate his already established rock fan-base, while attempting to pick up a new younger audience. R
  10. Mike Rayburn (Comedian) playing "Black Dog", but singing the words to Dr. Seuss', "Green Eggs and Ham".... http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:AfHimR...;cd=1&gl=us http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00197U0U...ASIN=B00197U0US (track # 14) R
  11. They should have done a Beach Boys number or two or maybe the Ventures, "Wipeout" during their rehearsal... R
  12. Perhaps the astronaut album cover graphics were used/concept used, because in 1968, we went to the Moon (and Led Zep was launched as a band)??? R
  13. I think Van Halen based their 1984 song, "Girl Gone Bad" on it for sure... R
  14. Their new live 3 DVD set from the last two Snakes & Arrows '07/'08 tours is really good to have, too (as it includes classics not heard in years, like "Circumstances", "Between The Wheels" and a few others). R
  15. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgo...est/6970651.stm R
  16. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0656199/ Editor of many movies (as listed above for "Eagle Eye") His name turns up a few more times on IMDB, too... http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=jimmy+page JPJ's name listed (a few times as it is a common name, although we know his real name is John Baldwin) http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=john+paul+jones http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=john+baldwin "Kashmir", was in the Ocean's 12 soundtrack, too... R
  17. Chelsea Lately on E! (cable tv) had a segment regarding the politician who had a sex change recently (man to woman) and Chelsea commented that the person reminded her of Robert. Also, watching PBS this past weekend and there was a documentary on cats (not the musical, but real live cats) called, "Wild Cat" and there was a scene when the (British) narrator was talking about one cat in particular saying at night it was "Out On The Tiles" looking for something...

  21. http://www.ledzeppelin.com/news/2008/10/31...ed-led-zeppelin Great!!! Glad it's back (even if until the end of the year)... Maybe, there'll be a special announcement from Jimmy and the guys (JPJ, Jason, and TBA singer) on it and here, as to when they decide to tour next year... R
