truth and beauty Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 One tweet - That's all this is... so , perpective everyone... "DanOgus1 Dan Ogus Free to reunite this summer with Jimmy Page (as heard from Nicky Horne) ?" Stiiiiiiill ... not so implausible . But obviously, there's "reunite" in the way that Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes reunited for about 5 minutes last summer... Better wait and see on this one !

And if you knew your history he introduced Zeppelin at the 2nd Knebworth show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 How could they reunite when they never united in the first place? The surviving members of Free could reunite, with Jimmy added on guitar, which is clearly what this rumour is suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The surviving members of Free could reunite, with Jimmy added on guitar, which is clearly what this rumour is suggesting. Agreed. The last I heard Paul had left his pairing with Queen to focus on writing and recording a solo album. Unless and until Paul hints at a Free reunion...

FireOpal Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 On the face of it, this sounds intriguing. But I really don't think Jimmy is stylistically compatible. His playing is far more in your face than Koss's. Mr. Kossoff left the planet in '76, as you know, so it wouldn't be a conflict, right? Jimmy could play whatever way he wanted to.

Mudslider Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's Nicky Horne. He's an English DJ. And if you knew your history he introduced Zeppelin at the 2nd Knebworth show Thank you. Being from America I never heard of him. Learning more all the time - thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well obviously. But what I meant was Free weren't really noted for Page-esque fret-flurries, more Koss's generally pure-ish tone, bends & sustain. Whereas Jimmy's more of a headbanging riff-monger, & a faster and more furious soloist, relatively speaking. Sure, if they were targeting the old Free audience and wanted to retain authenticity, JP might be able to adapt, but I seriously doubt these days whether he could carry it off without hiding behind a wall of FX. Then again, how many Free fans are there anymore, and would they fill the arenas? Maybe they'd just pander to the Zep/JP market. If Jimmy and Paul Rodgers got a band together and called it "Menudo" tons of people would want to see them, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Bad Company has a concert date on August 12th in North Carolina. I'm not sure how a Bad Company tour would play into a Free reunion involving Page if indeed this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feather in the wind Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If Jimmy and Paul Rodgers got a band together and called it "Menudo" tons of people would want to see them, trust me. Menudo was a Puerto Rican boy band that was formed in the 1970s by producer Edgardo Díaz, releasing their first album in 1977. and get sued AGAIN!??

Strider Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sure, if they were targeting the old Free audience and wanted to retain authenticity, JP might be able to adapt, but I seriously doubt these days whether he could carry it off without hiding behind a wall of FX. Then again, how many Free fans are there anymore, and would they fill the arenas? Maybe they'd just pander to the Zep/JP market. Maybe the Free audience has dissipated some in America, but from all the evidence I've seen, Free is still hugely beloved in the UK. I think they'd do all right, no matter what audience they were targeting. Menudo was a Puerto Rican boy band that was formed in the 1970s by producer Edgardo Díaz, releasing their first album in 1977. Also, members of Menudo had to leave when they turned 16 or 18. So that eliminates Paul and Jimmy right off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 We don't comment on rumours. Next question! Sure we do! It could be very cool ..Jimmy's as tight with Simon Kirke as he is with Paul Rodgers...maybe tighter. Zeppelin actually had Simon set up his kit at an Over Europe 1980 show. Dual drums... .

Have you ever seen the Firm interviews with Jimmy and Paul side by side? Jimmy is completely whacked out, out of his gourd and it's obvious Paul would rather be under a rock somewhere.

SteveAJones Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 oh really i didn't know jimmy said that! what do you think he meant by that? was it that paul didn't like to "party", and jimmy did? Essentially, yes. Jimmy had been off the road for a few years so once he had a band to tour with he was quite keen on partying with his bandmates. Spent countless hours with Tony and/or Chris in hotel bars, music joints and others haunts. Not so much with Paul who took a more early to bed early to rise approach to life on the road. Not always, mind you, but more often than not. This is not to say they aren't good friends - they definitely are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
