Chicago Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've actually heard that Paul Rodgers was the one having substance problems around the time of The Firm. Maybe someone in the know could verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Melanie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 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. But I doubt Jimmy would or could indulge in such behavior at the age of 68. If he were to tour again, he would be the one going to bed sober and probably early. Plus, while touring he didn't have to worry about keeping his voice in shape for each concert, night after night. Wasn't he behaving himself whilst on tour with the Black Crowes to the point that it annoyed Chris Robinson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedcat Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm at a loss why Page would feel he has to play with other former famous name musicians. I mean, really, he's Jimmy Page? What would playing with the remanants of Free do for him and why would he even consider such a thing? I loved Free but this is 2012. Page really needs to do his own thing today, if he's going to do anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
