slave to zep Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Errr sorry, thinking about it Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page says the COVID-19 pandemic has been disastrous for the music business because no concerts have been able to take place. Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page says the COVID-19 pandemic has made him think about “coming back” and performing live again. The 76-year-old guitarist has been planning a live comeback for the past few years, following his last reunion with the ‘Whole Lotta Love’ rockers in 2007 at the tribute concert hosted at The O2 in London for late Atlantic Record President Ahmet Ertegun. Going into lockdown due to the coronavirus has crisis has inspired Jimmy to strap on his guitar once again for some concerts once venues re-open. In an interview with GQ magazine, he said: “When we first went into lockdown I thought, 'Right, now's the time to start thinking about coming back at some point and being able to perform.'” Jimmy insists the cancellation of concerts all over the world to stop the spread of the potentially deadly respiratory illness has strengthened his belief that “music means nothing” without live performances. And the one-time Yardbirds member admits he is “worried” about the future of the arts, especially what the lack of opportunities to perform live will do to up-and-coming artists. He said: “It’s such a very sad and desperate time and what this virus has done internationally to families, to the arts, and everything we love and hold dear and the whole concert situation, it does worry me … I will never be one of those people who'll record alone and send someone a file. I never went into music in the first place to do that, it was for playing together and this is what it means. We need to play with people, we need gigs and we need community. Because without that, music means nothing. “Playing live is so important for young musicians. “When we were young, we all had these little gigs, hoping to play somewhere bigger and it's such an important part of that communion of musicians playing together.

Wolfman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Here we go again. Love Jimmy but he has been saying for like 15 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Jimmy deliberately chose not to tour for nearly 20 YEARS and now that he can't he's "thinking about it". Yeah, whatever. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Yep. If he was really going to have done it, he would have already; not just “thinking about it”. Lol 😆 I hope he does one day and proves us all wrong. R😎 Edited November 15, 2020 by reids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Really??? Lockdown, no concerts, no bands touring. How very convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobbs Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 This lockdown for musicians would be the perfect vehicle for Jimmy to play live again without the fear of messing up. He could tape a live performance in a studio and then edit any mistakes in case he has confidence issues. Kinda like a soft roll out.

Autumn Moon Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 In consideration of the fact that Jimmy is turning 77 soon it is most unlikely he will tour again, and I am fine with that. Maybe he remembers his promise to release several previously unreleased live concerts within the next 10 years. Ouch!!!- sorry, only 8 years left........how time flies, Mr. Page.
