Cookie0024 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 From what I've seen and read, this seemed much more like Jimmy's conference. Back at the London one he was slightly quieter, here he comes across very in-control, almost like a protective parent. Robert is more content to play up to the aging rockstar stereotype that John Paul embodied so well in the first press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepRex Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Oh oh, I can sense a shit storm coming up from the press directed at Robert I wonder how long it'll take before someone actually forgets the wonderful occasion for which the 4 of them came together in favour of pesturing poor Robert with questions on a reunion. God. I'd be sick and tired if I was Robert. They just can't leave it can they?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksgemini Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 peope are way too serious...If people cant see Plant was answering a ? thats been asked 1000 times really,IMO, humorously, they will just stay stuck in whatever dream they have thats not going to be realized. I think Robert was half kidding...he's the only Zep member of which I know people who have met up with and they found him very gracious, warm and enthused about music in general. People will always want to see "bad blood" but sometimes friends grow apart and honestly... i'd rather spend time with Patty Griffin than the other 3 given a choice!!!!! That being said Ill enjoy the hell out of the movie ,bluray/dvd and cd! I feel lucky we got this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetPage Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Press Conference Question; Rock 101 question and answer: Tue Oct 9 [Led Zeppelin] "Jimmy Page told us that he knew that the magic surrounding Led Zeppelin wouldn't last forever: ["I said, basically around the time of the first album, it's all a race against time, and I think it is. It still is. It still is a race against time and trying to do good work and improve on what you've done. It's more difficult as you get older because you know your days are numbered, really. Within Zeppelin we had this amazing vehicle that we could continue and continue and just come up with amazing things -- which fortunately we did continue, and we did come up with amazing stuff. But I still thought it was a race against time. I had no idea how prophetic it would be with the loss of John Bonham."] Source Link http://www.thebearrocks.com/blog/lochlin/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10447832 ...before the Premeire, a glimpse of Ziegfield Theatre those who are not familir, like myself.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzPeWB8trEA&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bullshit and I'm sick and tired of people hating on Plant. The same goes for all this manufactured 'controversy' over Robert saying 'Schmuck'.

dalsh327 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm surprised they wanted to do the press conferences. They must have really liked how the film turned out, and this is the next best thing to getting them to play together. Plant's in NYC, why wouldn't he say "schmuck" with a smirk on his face? Would've been amusing if Cameron Crowe had been in with the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie0024 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Everyone's favourite Led Zeppelin whistleblower Eddie Trunk is at the premiere. He just sent this tweet: 'Zeppelin premiere star studded. Mick Jones, Joan Jett, Chad Smith, Kirk Hammett, Paul Stanley, many more, and oh yeah, LED ZEPPELIN!' http://twitter.com/E...816839689543680 EDIT: First pic of the band at the premiere is up Zeppelin just came in.

And Cookie, what exactly do you mean by 'Everyone's favourite Led Zeppelin whistleblower'? A whistleblower generally means somebody who blows the whistle on nefarious deeds at a company or corporate shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenticus Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 truly the best way to grasp this press conference is just to watch it. By actually seeing the videos we've seen so far, you actually get the gist of what the guys were saying as opposed to the spin that the media put on things. If anything, the clips we've seen so far show them basically as a bunch of guys joking around and taking the piss out of the whole event while the journalists take it all seriously. Didn't sense any annoyance from the boys, just them making it quite clear that IF THEY FEEL LIKE FOR SOME REASON, they can do something together in the future. Not a yes, not a no, not a hold your breath and wait it out or anything, just them basically saying they're human and that life happens. Page said it's not likely, but you never know where life may take you. I love that they're doing multiple pressers for this, really shows just how proud they are of it as a band for them all to fly in and get together and talk about it together and then actually view it in the theatre together. I'll give you this though, Robert Plant is an utterly hilarious human being, I feel like he'd be just a fun guy to sit at the pub with for a couple of drinks, guy's just full of jokes and so full of life it seems for someone his age.
