justawoman Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Ask a question? I wouldn't be able to speak - I think I would just stand there and worship! Maybe, if I could get the words out, "Hey, can I buy you a drink or two (or three)? Quote
lzzoso Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 No I wouldn't. What kind of person accosts a celebrity for their phone number? Isn't that kind of creepy to you? You are gonna tell me and everyone else on this forum that you would not like to meet Jimmy Page? You just said, "No I wouldn't" If what you say is true, I would say that you are in the very small minority of people who would not Love to meet a True and Mighty Living Legend. Mr. James Patrick Page. If you read my first post, I said that this is mostly "hypothetical". Where in any of my posts or the other peoples replies do you get that any of Us would "accost" (as in confront boldy) Jimmy Page about asking him one question even if that question was asking him for his phone number (which we all know he would not divulge). Hypothetical, remember? If I ever was in the "Presence" of Jimmy Page I would never "accost" him as you seem to believe, however, I know that I would be in complete "awe" and "admiration". Two very different reactions. For the record, I do not consider Jimmy Page a celebrity. I consider him (again) a Living Legend. A True Living Legend. Quote
Electrophile Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 You are gonna tell me and everyone else on this forum that you would not like to meet Jimmy Page? You just said, "No I wouldn't" I said no I wouldn't to "get his personal cell phone or private phone number and call him up anytime just to talk and chat about whatever comes up." I didn't think that was hard to understand. No, I wouldn't want to get his phone number. I don't know him. He's a musician whose work I admire, not a close friend or relative. If I ever had the opportunity to meet him, the last thing I would ever ask him is for his phone number. I'd probably ask for an autograph or a picture or something else innocuous. Quote
Chowder Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Jimmy has answered this before and more or less said it was after breaking The Beatles attendance record at this show: http://ledzeppelin.com/show/may-5-1973 Thanks Steve. But I was thinking more in terms of quality of material and live performances. I suspect he would have thought he was in the greatest band long before 73. I've thought of another question: 'Hey Jimmy, could you burn me a copy of Dundee-ism, please? I can't find the bugger anywhere.' Quote
Virginia Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I might also ask him for a lesson in scarf tying; I can't seem to pull it off nearly as well Quote
SuperDave Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I might also ask him for a lesson in scarf tying; I can't seem to pull it off nearly as well Good one. Like it! Quote
D_Vincent Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I have a few questions i may ask. # 1 Do you actually listen to Led Zeppelin songs anymore or are you sick of hearing them. # 2 Where and how did you learn to mix music. # 3 Whats your favorite decade for music # 4 What do you enjoy more...performing or creating and recording in the studio # 5 How many led zeppelin songs never made it to record and are there any old songs (never heard yet) that could be released in the future.

noodle Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 of course this is tough... so many routes to go in this very hypothetical world... but if this were to be, say an interview situation, i would ask him why he always seems so relieved to not "have to" sing. the way he talks about it, it sounds partly out of modesty, but partly out of relief, partly maybe out of disdain. i've always wondered if, when he has been the lead writer on a piece, if he has been surprised at the lyrical direction it ended up taking or if he's even changed the lyrical direction of a song if seemed too incongruous with what he had in mind. or if there were examples where the lyrics were really just perfect. there are a host of personal questions i wouldn't ever ask and a bunch of personal things i would want to tell him about how wonderful of an effect his music has had on me, and relatedly a bunch of questions i'm sure he wouldn't answer or requests he wouldn't comply with ... but with that all off the tablet, that's the best i can think of right now!

LedLass Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 This is an easy one...I would simply ask Jimmy, "Mr. Paige, what do you think of the naturally-occurring (not backmasking!) reverse speech on Stairway to Heaven?" Quote
badgeholder Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Regarding the band's live sound, how involved were you? I suspect he was pretty picky about the mics and stuff, but don't know for sure ok, one more: Do any photos exist of the recording session for "Levee"? Quote
Deborah J Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 As it would most surely be at an event for me to remotely meet this man... My first question is WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!!?? and when are you going to put out more official DVD's of the concerts that were recorded? Quote
Patrycja Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Can I see what's in your secret vault? Quote
JiMiHeNdRiX1967 Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 What would you be if not being a guitarist? When he was younger he said he wanted to be a scientist and study for cancer. I would ask him how hard it must have been to make Coda Quote
SteveAJones Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I would ask him how hard it must have been to make Coda Do you mean on an emotional level or coming up with enough material as the producer? Quote
Holy Fcker Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I would ask: why Good Times Bad Times never was played live entire? Quote
Zeppelin Dave Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Can I borrow $680?....Actually, if I could get the question out without sounding like a buffoon, I'd ask if I could buy him a cup of coffee, if he had 5 minutes time to spare. If not, just thank him and wish him well. Quote
guitarmy Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 off the cuff: "What's it like being better than God?" off the brain: "I believe you when you say you wrote/performed Beck's Bolero - so can you brainstorm on why Jeff Beck thinks he did it?" Quote
jabe Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Two parter: Do you have a defined favorite LZ composition and/or absolute favorite LZ guitar solo? How often do you refer to the SteveAJones archives for accurate event timelines? Quote
aen27 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Do you still have any of your paintings that you did? I would love to see one. Quote
RolandDeschain Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I would ask him if he would like to blaze a big fatty and hang out for a jam session. Quote
SuperDave Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I would ask him if he would like to blaze a big fatty and hang out for a jam session. Oh c'mon! Something original and more intelligent please! Quote
OddBall Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Are you ready for a guitar throwdown ?? Quote
Woolfie Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I would like to know what happened to the live recording made at Southampton Uni on 22.01.73, with the Stones mobile studio? I was there!! Quote
