dpat Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) What might Mr. Page say? My mate Jeff Beck. Girlfriends Hot Rods Throwing him out of the Yardbirds The connection to Led Zeppelin Wishing to play with him more Hello, uh, hi. My name is Jimmy Page (huge applause ... Page extremely embarrassed to be getting a bigger round of applause than Jeff Beck). Um, (rubs nose), I'm here to induct a person of in-cred-ible musicianship (open arms wide), I mean, really heavy, man!! (cheers and clapping). Um, Jeff had remarkable foresight to stay off the harsh stimulants unlike a few of us here (laughter), mainly staying with beer and motor oil (more laughter) so, his guitar playing is as tight today as it was in 1972. Seriously. He's managed to keep the same hairstyle since 1965 -- and same color!! (huge guffaws). But, anyway, you don't want to hear me talk, you want to hear music. It is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you my good mate from Wallington, Mr. Geoffrey Arnold Beck!!!

SteveAJones Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Humerous, light-hearted sentiments with the bond of lifelong friendship self-evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hopefully he'll talk alot about the old days when they used to hang out. It's so cool to hear about those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glicine Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 How long is usually an induction speech? Actually I doubt he will talk much with refenrence of himself, as it's the night for Jeff, so mostly Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I doubt he will talk much with refenrence of himself, as it's the night for Jeff, so mostly Jeff. I don't think the induction speeches run that long - maybe 5 minutes or so.

Aquamarine Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Five minutes is a pretty long speech! (Apart from State of the Unions, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Five minutes is a pretty long speech! (Apart from State of the Unions, etc.) Well maybe it's less then. I'm not good at guestimating these things. I guess it depends on who's giving the speech. I'm sure some run shorter than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glicine Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 True, if it was Robert it would probably be more like 15 minutes. *secretly imagine Jimmy with a roll of handwritten paper and try to read through all those words as naturally as he can for 15 minutes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakdaddy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 He could talk about being "friends" with Beck's sister before they met, nudge nudge wink wink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Geoffrey Arnold Beck? Really? I had no idea. You learn so many things here! Jimmy, tell Jeff he needs to buy at least one shirt that has sleeves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levee Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Maybe Jimmy should do to Jeff, what Jeff did to Rod Stewart while inducting him. Jimmy: "Jeff and me have always had a love hate relationship, He loves me and I hate him". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
