the chase Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Tony Iommi did this with his 1st solo album in 2000. He had everyone from Billy Idol to Skin to Henry Rollins to Dave Grohl. Carlos Santana did this as well with 2 of his albums. It might be a great idea for Jimmy Page Roger Daltrey, Sammy Hagar, Steven Tyler have all recently expressed deisre to record with Jimmy. THE LIST IS ENDLESS Who would you pick? figure a 13 song cd with 3 or 4 instrumentals. ok..... I'll go first Chriis Cornell Todd Rundgren Ian Gillan Eric Clapton / voice and dual gtr Jack White Anne Wilson Roy Harper Chris Farlowe Peter Hammill Tori Amos plus an instrumental with Jeff Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Rider Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Maybe he needs a change from the usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how much it would "sell" though. A recording project with Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham would "sell" in a big way. Given how much time has passed with nothing from JP it seems more likely that he's retired. Website notwithstanding. Just my opinion. I'd love to hear some new music from Page though.

bluecongo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I hope he just does just a project to please himself. as eclectic and weird as he wants to be, no need for a vocalist even. But as time passes, I too think he has hung it up for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f2walsh Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Great idea! Just like 1988 but even more singers. I really like the Jimmy and Todd combination and a Nancy Wilson guest appearance would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as time passes, I too think he has hung it up for good. I'm with you on that. Unfortunately, it seems that the only thing that would please him is some sort of project with his old bandmates rather than move "ever onwards". Kinda of sad to imagine what it must be like for him to sit back and watch his old partner take the music world by storm and continue to innovate ( as Zep surely did) with AK and now BOJ and continue to sucessfully move forward in new musical directions. If he is planning to release something it's doubtful that he would do such a thing while Plant is so visible and viable as an artist. The comparisons in the press would be tough to deal with. Even if he did just do it for himself ( which would be great) there would be no escaping those comparisons. As a fan I would like to see him do something but time is passing. His contribution to music is assured. Legacy intact. Retirement is not a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I hope he just does just a project to please himself. as eclectic and weird as he wants to be, no need for a vocalist even. that's actually what I would prefer. but he tends to team up with a singer. no lone singer could really stand in robert plant's or zeppelin's shadow.... example david coverdale... there's some great stuff on CP that was so overlooked.

the chase Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Something like this might be popular here, after reading some of the posts throughout this forum. With Steve Tyler (now with American Idol) or a gay themed GLEE vocalist. Either way, what a crock of shit ! Steven tyler's on American Idol? i thiought if a singer had a recording contract and was 63 years old they wouldn't be allowed to compete?!!! no shit i hope he does well ......................................

He's a judge on American Idol. Anyone who's been watching the bright and shiny new season of "American Idol" would likely agree that the addition of new judge Steven Tyler has added a wacky and even more unpredictable element to the show. mtv.com/news/articles/1659975/american-idol-judges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetleron Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) now that he's buddies with the edge i vote for Bono......... spose i'd prefer to see him do a guitar heroes kinda album with clapton ,beck, maybe van halen, satriani, angus, buckingham....i dunno......insert guitar player here maybe some vocals with .....who knows...........see what that guy from journey's been doing the last 25 years......besides eating twinkies or julian lennon seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.......bring him out of mothballs Edited March 29, 2011 by beetleron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMV Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I think it would be great and fascinating to hear him with Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins. I think it would force him out of the rock mould and into more ethereal territory. I'd also like to see him with John Lydon, I don't think he'd put up with anything standard. I think it would be interesting to see him with Fred Schneider of the B 52s. I'd like to see what Morrisey would sound like with him. I'd like to see him with Robert Smith of The Cure. I'd like to see him with the singer from Interpol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe Jimmy has the 80's New Wave connection to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who hasn't or wouldn't she play with. Although, ironically, I wouldn't mind if she did something with Jimmy Page, as long as she left the drum-programing out.

I'll take your word for it.. : >) Page actually kind of did this already with Outrider... 3 different singers.. DW2 had 2 singers. I'd love to see him do another film score... but that's for another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Add a cover of Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp featuring Alison Krauss and you might be on to something. That definitely would be interesting and could be quite good, depending on their approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
