Strider Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The current issues of Q and CLASSIC ROCK magazines with their Led Zeppelin special articles is a perfect example of how so much music journalism has gone downhill today. Mistakes and cliches galore...trite and predictable soundbites...research and insight seemingly straight from Wikipedia. A big yawn and big waste of time and money...nothing in these magazines that most of you Led Zeppelin fans haven't seen and read before. I certainly don't expect Rolling Stone to do much better, but I do have higher hopes for Mojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't expect Rolling Stone to do much better, but I do have higher hopes for Mojo. That's quite pathetic to say the least. Would it hurt these writers and publications to spend a bit of time and do their research from sources whose information is a accurate as possible?

henrybonzo Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Classic Rock are doing a special for the Kiss Anniversary http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/music-bookazines/kiss-limited-edition-40th-anniversary-folio/?ns_campaign=BM_kiss2&ns_mchannel=hb&ns_source=mfm&ns_linkname=crreskins&ns_fee=0 would be nice if this was done for the remasters and maybe a conclusive interview with Page (and the boys) specifically about the recording techniques of the day and how modern mastering as taken 40 year old recordings to this new level of re-mastering, recording stories etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Brad Tolinski posted on his twitter page that he is flying to the UK today to interview Jimmy about the boxsets. I bet it will be for the next Guitar World, so I have the feeling press will begin soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Some pages from Muziq Mag # 2 Nice attachment and I love it! Well done Seaweed Gate! Paris is a great city as I've been there five times. All pleasure trips! Can't get enough of that city. Last time being last May. I think, I will include this on my Desktop Background. It's a good one. What is the meaning behind your name hear? Just curious, as it's a bit odd and non Zeppelin related, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60blues Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 So who is the mustachioed chap in chic boots standing next to Jimmy in the third photo? Longshot of a guess here Strider...but Jimmy has mentioned in the past about a friendship with a French rock journalist named Philipe Paringaux...since the airport is Orlys...perhaps that is who that is?

That sounds like an excellent educated guess. Good detective work and good memory. He looks a little like Sterling Morrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, as it's a bit odd and non Zeppelin related, I think..That's just a clouded wink at Sandy Pearlman's poetry. Who was Sandy Pearlman ? Blue Öyster Cult's mentor in the seventies.You can find mention of a seaweed gate in the album Imaginos and the eponymous song "Blue Öyster Cult" which is a reworking of "The Subhuman" (Secret Treaties.) I've always thought BÖC was a vastly underrated band. That's my all-time favourite American band anyhow.

seaweed gate Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) So who is the mustachioed chap in chic boots standing next to Jimmy in the third photo?For a long time I've thought this guy was John Bonham himself. I'm not so sure about that, noawadays. I tend to think it's not John because I've never seen any other picture of him with similar clothes + if you zoom on the picture and his face, that's not him for me.Here are some pics of Philippe Paringaux :That's Philippe on the leftAnother photoIt's a pity I can't find pictures of Paringaux from the time he was working as chief editor with Rock & Folk in Paris in the beginning of the 70's.

seaweed gate Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the photo, I knew that one. This was taken in 1985, apparently.Frankly I have some serious doubt about Philippe Paringaux being the guy in black with mustache and leather boots beside Jimmy Page at the Paris airport.I've found some French TV archives on the INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel) website. The INA is an official administration which has in charge of preserving the memory of past TV documents.http://www.ina.fr/video/I00006372/ten-years-after-going-home-video.htmlHere is above an excerpt of Philippe Paringaux presenting Ten Years After in 1969. Be careful, Philippe is the SECOND journalist in order of appearances, NOT the first one. After watching this document which is dated from the same year as the photo, 1969, it's seems reasonable to say that Philippe Paringaux is NOT the person with Jimmy Page at the airport.I still think it's John Bonham itself.What do you all think about that ? Give us some feedback, please. Edited March 29, 2014 by seaweed gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting magazine, I will see if it is readily available.... ...here is background of Christian Rose, Photographer since 1965... He is based in Paris, so those photos of Jimmy are indeed from Paris... http://christianrosephoto.web.fc2.com/Christian_Rose/Welcome.html For more than forty five years his pictures of musicians have continued to appear in the international press, in books, on films and TV, and at exhibitions worldwide.
