  1. You should to read Catherine James's book too

    [...]

    ...never been able to find those two books in stores so far....and this picture, I never seen it before...thanks for posting this "costume"

    One thing for sure...all the ladies past/present are attracted to Jimmy's exceptional looks/charisma...what a picture he poses for...beautiful!!!

    (I don't mind reading these kinds of books, as it is all about being young and having fun!! That is all it is, nothing more...)

    PlanetPage, I would also recommend Catherine James's book, Dandelion, to you. She is a beautiful person - inside and out. My friends and I used to consider her a rock goddess - someone like an American Patti Boyd who led a perfect and glamorous life with the rock stars. When I read Catherine's book this spring, though, I was surprised to learn that her life wasn't as beautiful as I had imagined it to be.

  2. Oh MSG, I have always loved this picture of Jimmy from the jam with Bad Company!! He just looked so incredibly hot and sexy there!!!

    :wub::wub:

    You've got that right, ILJP! ;) It reminds me of how insanely. ridiculously, and shamefully crazy we were about him back then. There was no Zep concert that year but it didn't stop us from chasing him all around the city when he and Peter Grant were there for Bad Company. :bagoverhead:

    agreed! i often thought that! robert still manages to look masculine and sexy in womens tops.....go figure. but he really does pull it off. i guess having a great bod helps. i think i am right in saying he was never talked about as being bisexual or gay, its just such a given that he is straight, but if anyone else had of dressed like him, im sure people would have wondered. jimmy and robert were, and are such stlylish dressers, better than all of the other rockers by a country mile.

    I agree. In addition to his masculine and sexy aura, I also think that being very comfortable and confidant in his body and with his sexuality probably had something to do with his ability to pull it off.

    I remember when my friends and I were young we sometimes used to assess different rockers and wonder about the possibility that they were gay or bi but the Zep guys were never mentioned (people like Bowie, who to us had a weird androgynous vibe, yes - but, no, absolutely never the Zep guys). Within the past year though, someone actually asked me if, back in the day, I ever thought that Robert was gay or bi - to me, the question was so ludicrous and preposterous, I just shook my head as I was reading it, wondering how such a question could be asked, before I responded with an definitive, "NEVER!"

  4. Is it so wrong to be in love with a guy that is 4x your own age?

    Coz if it is i couldn't be guiltier :wub:....Oh Jimmy....:wub:

    Aw, that's so sweet!

    'JAL' I absolutely LOVE the fact that Pagey has so many young adoring fans like you and others on this forum!! It just warms my heart and makes me smile :) He's so HOT even to this day, so I don't know how anyone could NOT love him!!!

    I completely agree, ILJP. After all, back in the days when we were pursuing the Zep guys, they were twice our age. That fact didn't stop any of us, did it? :shifty::P

  5. This is the only Black Sabbath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9gokjOjf6g

    Amen.

    I still love to hear old BS. When I have to drive my youngest daughter somewhere, she likes to listen to the "classic rock" stations. She laughs because, whenever BS comes on, I crank up the volume and sing along with whatever BS song is being played - and I still remember (almost) all of the lyrics. :)

  6. That´s just what those pics are doing to me!

    Ah, the backbends. ;)

    :o:o:o

    WOW!! There are no words to describe what these pictures are doing to me!!!

    :wub::wub::wub:

    Feel like 14 again, ILJP? :lol: I know the feeling. :D

  7. 'PlanetPage' I think that my friend MSG really summed up that time in a wonderful way. I just also want to say that back then, I really didn't know that I was witnessing something so monumental that people would be talking about it even to this day. I would have never in my wildest dreams have thought that there would be a Led Zeppelin website and I would be able to share so much with people that love and respect them as much as I do. To me, it is a very heartwarming experience now to be able to talk to people like yourself and share experiences I had back then. And I am very thankful to have made a lot of friends here, so I have Led Zeppelin and their music and legacy to thank for that as well.

    And let's all hope (because I am still remaining positive) that there will be more experiences to be had in the future!!

    :beer:

    Aw, thanks so much for that, ILJP. :kiss:

    I agree with you that I never dreamed that, as great as LZ was, we would be here today talking about the band. When I was young and experiencing it all, I certainly didn't have the foresight or vision to see that the band would be talked about and worshiped in the manner that they are so many decades later. I also haven't spent the last 30 something years thinking about them in the way that I do now - I put it all behind me and went on to live an entire life and it was only recently that all those experiences just came flooding back to me. I have really enjoyed making new friends and meeting people here who either have, like you, shared the same experiences as me or who didn't have those experiences but are interested in knowing more about that era and Zep's glory days.

    Here's to more great musical experiences - whatever they may be. :beer:

  8. ....thanks for a very heart warming/informative response. I started a 70's scene thread in the Zepplin Newbies Section. I think your story is a wonderful fitting for that.

    ...As new Canadian

    immigrants from India in late '74 (13 year old) I was inexperienced in Western culture and by the time I learned about LZ, '77 tour was over. In between all this time, I was fascinated by the Rock'Roll culture around me, ofcourse the big bands always played US or sometimes Toronto...therefore my imagination was at work and Jimmy Page in '77 white dragon suit totally stole my heart...I mean what a myterious character. His face covered with long hair somehow gave me comfort for my own lonlieness (you cannot imagine how difficult it is to grown up in two extreme east/west cultures at such young age)...anyway, I wish you all the best, it has been pleasure talking to you about our fav. band LZep

    (can we move this to the Newbies section?)

    P.S. I guess we all take life for granted while history is in the making. I hope that you got to meet one or two Led zep at least...

    You're welcome, PlanetPage - and thanks for sharing your 70's story. I have so much that I want to respond with but I don't want to derail the photo thread. I think that we'd have to ask the mods to move our posts into the Newbies section. Otherwise, I can copy and paste your post and respond to it over there. Between work and the upcoming U.S. Presidential elections, I've been a bit busy lately so I haven't had as much time to read all of the new posts and threads (although somehow I always manage to find myself here in the pics section :lol: ). I will look for your thread in the other section. :)

  9. I'm happy to keep the fetish going :D

    I'm also happy to keep the "dog colar" fetish going aswell :D

    :lol::thumbsup:

    ...I cannot imagine the atomsphere of that time/era...God, I wanted to be there so much, I could only look at his pictures, and imagine what it would be like ...a different world/planet for sure I imagined...Life is been good to both of you...

    Life has been very good to me - both during that era and in the years since.

    It was an incredible time - although when my friends and I were in the middle of living it, we couldn't know that we were "witnessing rock history" or engaging in anything that, decades later, would be something so huge.

    I don't want to leave the impression that, at least in the case of my friends and me, it was all Zep all the time - it wasn't. In between Zep tours, we were in school and just living our lives - there were other bands and other concerts. Of course, Zep were our absolute favorite. We were buying albums - Zep and others, reading rock magazines, listening to WNEW, and always, always, always, waiting for word of the band's next U.S. tour.

    Once a U.S. tour was announced, we scrambled to find out where and when the Zep guys would arrive in our city, where they would stay, where they might hang out after the concert, and how we'd get tickets, etc. For the most part, unlike the Deadheads, my friends and I didn't follow the band from city to city - we waited until they came to us.

    Sometimes it was a seemingly endless wait between tours - a year and a half between when we saw the band in Sept. '72 and when we saw them again in May '73. Then there was another long, excruciating wait until Zep came back here in early '75.

    But, yes, it was an amazing, wonderful time and I am so grateful and blessed to have experienced it.

  10. I have always loved this picture - the way that Jimmy is hugging Bonzo is so cute!!

    That image of the three of them has always made me melt and tugged at my heart - especially the way that Jimmy is leaning slightly over and against Bonzo. :wub: :wub: :wub:
