kenog Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah I'm guessing that's a lamp, but it should really have been turned off. Presumably what was arranged was an interview just before the Celebration Day conference, and the photo was a quick bonus for the magazine. If that had been a professional shoot, you would have seen smooth lighting. Check out the Washington Post article for shots that were likely from the same day, and lit much better. http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/led-zeppelin-listened-to-each-other-and-found-rock-and-rolls-most-magical-formula/2012/11/29/4ba466fc-35ac-11e2-9cfa-e41bac906cc9_story.html Cookie, yes indeed, I see what you mean. Also, thanks for the article - I hadn't read it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a glossy magazine editor offered the opportunity to take a photo of Jimmy in a hotel bedroom... well, where to begin ? Still, good to see it all the same and I look forward to hearing more about it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirvana Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The look on Jimmy's face is...like a kid who got caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar...or with a porn magazine...weird. Looks a little chubbier in the face as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth and beauty Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks so much Wallis-Anne-Young for posting this. All I could have wanted from this month's Esquire magazine, so I won't be buying it. My loss, presumably. I always enjoy a bit of GQ at the hairdresser's ( SUCH a different perspective and usually strong editorially ) . But I know some of you will buy the whole magazine so I look forward to hearing what delights ( other than Jimmy) I've missed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The look on Jimmy's face is...like a kid who got caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar...or with a porn magazine...weird. Looks a little chubbier in the face as well. I suspect this is intentional on both Page's part and that of the photographer. I'm sure he's well aware of his "off-beat" reputation. He probably thought "Let's keep the public guessing" hence the mischievous smile. Also, he's not just a rock legend; he's a rock survivor. The 'bit worse for wear' look is appropriate given the content of this interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Dirigible Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 "I'll be playing next summer." If you would look back farther in the thread, you would see that the interview was most likely from last year, making "next summer" this summer.

Geezer Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Actually, I was trying to stress the fact that Page will tour this summer. And yes, I know that he's talking about 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Friday Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks so much for the heads-up! I doubt I would've noticed since there's no picture on the cover, and Esquire is not a magazine I would consider a likely source. I've been on the hunt for more magazine articles ever since the barrage of coverage after the release of Celebration Day and the Kennedy Center Honors. Thanks again.

CSH1127 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't know why some are so fascinated by "the guitar" in the picture. It's just my opinion but, I've always thought that anytime JP's photographed in these types of scenarios, the guitars are not the originals. They did make more than one Danelectro and as for the Les Pauls', I just figured they were probably just one of his signature series reproductions. I just can't see him dragging the real ones around. Their priceless and most likely under lock and key( anyone remember the fate of a certain Black Beauty?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's the original 1959 Danelectro 3021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSH1127 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I still respectfully disagree. I'm not saying it's not the proper model, but I doubt it's "the" Danelectro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
