sweet Mary Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) I hope they're keeping a list of the doubters and make them go to the back of the queue for tickets. Wow that's a great idea!!! That would be a great way to decide who gets front row tickets too...don't you think!!

SteveAJones Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) The website was Musicmaker.com. Melody Maker is the old British rock magazine back a few years. You are absolutely correct. My brain defaulted to Melody Maker, which I've typed out far more often over the years. Edited January 29, 2008 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyedye Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Question for those in the know: Do any of the members of LZ have any idea how crazy this is making the fans? Second Question: Is it delberate? They are going to push us right over the edge I think. I know it's driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Question for those in the know: Do any of the members of LZ have any idea how crazy this is making the fans? Second Question: Is it delberate? They are going to push us right over the edge I think. I know it's driving me crazy. I honestly think they know what it means to us, there can be no doubt of that. What matters is whether they're inspired to do something with it. Deliberate??? No! We cannot dictate their muse, nor do we have the right to do so. If anyone's going "over the edge" they weren't pushed, they flung themselves. Pity that. Better to stick around and try and get tix to the Raising Sand tour.

nirvana Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Mad, thanks for posting these pics! I was just about to post the Yahoo! news story which included these pics. They're gorgeous, aren't they?! Jimmy looks really great!! Jimmy needs to get a little Tropical sun however...his skin is way too pale! Question I have is ..."Why go to all these lengths to promote Mothership when it should be a NEW Zeppelin album he's promoting. What is the sense of hyping a collection of songs that 1. need no hype - even in Japan. and 2. promoting songs that have been in play for more than 30 years. My sense is that he is indeed looking for ways to keep that log in the fire - possible Zep tour after Plant-Krauss do their thing. It's a long way off kiddies...

In answer to your question the Japanese always want a little more from international artists in the way of promoting their product. Typically an international act would have to supply an extra track not available anywhere else in the world and personal promotion including interviews, personal appearances/signings etc. This is to offset revenue lost by domestic Japanese artists in the way of album sales. The fact that Page is doing promotion there has no other particular relevence. As for your earlier comment.... he's a 64 year old Englishman, with a tan he'd look like one of those Californian octaganarian corpses hanging around Venice Beach.

myledzep Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 SORRY no dates yet !!! Well it HAS to after the Plant/Krauss tour!!!! Anybody going to that? "That" as in Alison & Robert? Yes, I plan to go see one or more shows. It will be quite entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I believe additional tracks and robust promotion comes with the territory of competing in the world's second largest music market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styrbjorn Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Contractual obligation. For some fans there always has to be a secret agenda and underlying metaphor. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, wouldn't you agree Mr Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, wouldn't you agree Mr Jones? Oh, absolutely. The media must also be held to account for twisting his words to make for a bigger story. I don't recall this level of sensationalism back in the 70s, with the one exception of the occult aspects. A sign of the times, unfortunately.

shadowlongerthansoul Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 English rock band Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page poses for photographers during a press conference to promote the new Zeppelin release "Mothership" in Tokyo Monday, Jan. 28, 2008. Page says that after burning up the stage in London last month with a one-night reunion concert he is ready to take the legendary band out on a world tour. But, he said, it's not going to happen anytime soon - the singer has other plans. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara) Led Zeppelin Guitarist Wants World Tour By ERIC TALMADGE – 1 hour ago TOKYO (AP) — Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said Monday he was ready to take the iconic band on a world tour after burning up the stage at last month's reunion concert in London. But it probably won't be before September. "The amount of work we put into O2 was what you would normally put into a world tour anyway," Page, 64, said of the intense rehearsing the band did for the Dec. 10 concert at London's O2 Arena. The band's three surviving members — Page, singer Robert Plant and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones — were joined at the sold-out benefit show by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums. Page, who was in Japan to promote the new Zeppelin release, "Mothership," said the two-hour-plus concert was proof that Led Zeppelin can still perform at its best. He said the band, which formed in 1968, was ready musically to get back together and take it out on a wider run, but it was not clear when it would go on tour as the singer had other plans. "Robert Plant has a parallel project and he is busy with that until September," Page said. Plant and bluegrass star Alison Krauss will begin their world tour with a run of shows in the southern U.S. this spring. The two released an album in October called "Raising Sand" that debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart in the U.S. The duo will tour Europe in May before returning for North American shows still to be announced for June and July. Page said the band set their standards very high before agreeing to do the reunion, their first in 20 years. Led Zeppelin broke up in 1980 after the elder Bonham's death. Page said they rehearsed for weeks, apprehensive that the cohesion they had in the 1970s when they were at their peak might be hard to rediscover. "We wanted people who might not have even been alive in 1980 when we finished to understand what we were," he said. Page said all went well until he broke a finger in three places, forcing the band to postpone the show for several weeks. "But we did the show, and it was great," he said. "It was instant in terms of chemistry." Thank's for the pics, very sweet. GO PAGEY! Shad w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oceangal Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 And I had been thinking to myself, "What the hell is Jimmy doing with a fake-n-bake tan?" I miss the glowingly pale Jimmy! The ruffled cuffs are lovely, a bit of a nod to the old flamboyance. Also just a thought. He is looking really good, fit, and dressing better, compared to the boring banker suits he has been wearing lately. I wouldn't put that much effort into a quick pimping trip, I think he's got something up his sleeve. Other than ruffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
