jsj Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I re-read a 2008 Uncut magazine this week, in which Jimmy says of his new music (something like) "I'm ready to put it out there". obviously his definition of ready means in more than 8 yearsemperor and new clothes?

KellyGirl Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 As much as I wish he would write music and make an album. I do get how that may not bereached. It's the part of him not touching a guitar in front of an auidence that's making mescratch my head. It's just been far far too long since he even did a suprise gig or joinedanyone on stage even for a couple of songs in an encore. i.e. Jones with Foo FightersA year or 2 maybe with him promoting the re-masters understandable, but now it's goneon absurdly way too long. I know this has been discussed before, but are we 100% positiveJimmy's hands are fine? Because nothing is making sense at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsj Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I bought the art print of led zeppelin 4 signed by Page and the gallery that I bought it from told me that he had to take several rests while signing them all (250) due to discomfort in his hands caused by mild arthritis. and a photo was shown her (I think by SAJ) from the 98 tour with him with his hands in an ice bucket at the side of the stagehowever he played the O2 gig with seemingly no problems so it cant have been that bad by 2007, unless he had injections or whateverDisco duck said: It does make one wonder. Is Page merely trying to bullshit his fans or is he also bullshitting himself?I wonder that too, maybe if he keeps saying it he'll believe it himself. all I know is someone I knew kept saying they were going to do something every year for nearly 15 years and didn't. I'd call them out as a liarI have no gripe either way if he wants to play or record or not, and probably would prefer the latter, its the endless bullshit I object to. he must think we're all chumps. he certainly thinks we are when he tries to sell us JP mugs and polo shirts at vastly overpriced rates. it's very unbecoming all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril46 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Well it's good to know some realize this matter is much more complex than some may think. Rememberthat despite all the accolades Page has gotten, he is still very insecure about his playing. Recall that at his best, arguably 73', there were still many inconsistencies in his playing compared to his peers. So his nervesare a problem, and so must have been the ENORMOUS frustration with Plant's refusals. No one can doubtthat Jimmy's playing simply jumps up a few notches when Plant is around. I'm sure Jimmy liked some of the singers tried out, but nobody shakes him like Robert. All the other stuff, the stonewalling, the constantsolo pronouncements, are unfortunate. I think Jimmy feels frustrated, and doesn't think going out withanother singer would be sincere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flares Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Mithril46 raises some good points. Another problem is that the longer time goes on, the larger the expectation becomes. I would like to see Jimmy get in the studio and do some instrumental stuff that is less commercial, a la Jeff Beck. It could be a mix of "traditional" format songs with drums, etc. and some more eerie soundtrack stuff. Get a bunch of top notch studio musicians and just get in the studio and play, Jimmy. Forgot about singers and tours, just do an instrumental album. I really love the drummer Dave Weckl. I think he would a great choice on the skins.

Mithril46 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Great ideas. Forget the "classic rock" angle, and go for the subtle and sorcerer stuff. I thought JPJ'sapproach was really cool, his solo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flares Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Exactly, you're never gonna beat Zep for Classic Rock - they defined it. So he should go back to his art-school/avant garde roots for inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jimmy feels frustrated, and doesn't think going out withanother singer would be sincere.My top 5 guitar players all suffer or suffered from thinking they were not worthy. I really don't get it. They need the Leo in them to stand up and say, 'this is me, this is what I created' and not be scared. And Jimmy is at the top of my list, and of course he appears to suffer from it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Really, the main point to remember is early in 2015 he said "new music and live converts in 2015, probably later in the year rather than earlier". And as Mr. Jones points out, we are now in Sept. Unless he has secretly recorded a whole album of material, there is zero chance of new music and live shows in this calendar year, given his working pace.Who knows, maybe he has recorded it a bit already and just being quiet about it.

Mithril46 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 White is right on...and Hendrix was supposedly almost lost when he didn't have a guitar in his hands.Of course Steve has a ton of logic and evidence to back him up. However who predicted that after Zep,Page IMO until Outrider really fell apart. I know some like the Firm , but really I thought Page on his ownwould really push some boundaries and continue to amaze. DW2 was interesting but as mentioned Pageneeds a Robert "Leo " type to push all doubts out of the way. Otherwise Jimmy should try his hand at at his more ethereal or sorcerer type stuff.

Disco Duck Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Point taken but John Wayne is dead while Page is still alive. You know the old saying, "As long as there is life; there's hope." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover 75 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's all speculation, that's the problem. He mentioned that after the remasters are done that he would be persueing a solo career in some format according to Rolling Stone magazine. Well they are done, I think the bigger problem might be direction. He did say it would be a different direction than what would be expected, but that could mean anything.There are many of you wanting an instrumental album, be careful what you ask for, see Joe Satriani. While Joe is a Top 5 guitar player in my book, I lose interest at about 20 minutes, perhaps that's why I only own the ep he put out a long time ago. Not to diss either player, both phenomenal musicians, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover 75 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Assuming that is what he would do. I have to wonder if he did an album of all different guitar styles, staying away from Rock, how well it would be received. I think it would be cool to see him do an album like Slash's first solo album, with guest vocalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
