thozil Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Here's an interview Jimmy did in July/Aug 1968 that appeared in the December 1968 issue of Hit Parader. Some interesting details in here...e.g. American dates in October (obviously they didn't happen). No mention of JPJ yet, so Chris Dreja must have still been in the picture. Also, note that Page mentions they will still use the Yardbirds name. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That was fascinating - thank you. And I had no idea that Hit Parader was around that long ago! It's interesting that Jimmy at that time was envisioning the mellotron as a lead instrument along with the guitar - almost like he would have gone in a Moody Blues direction. Maybe it was hearing Bonham play that inspired him to go for a powerful (predominantly) hard rock sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy2Howard Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 That was pretty interesting I'm gonna write to Gary Hurst, Macarist Musical Exchange, 100 Charing Cross Road, London to see if I can get me one of those "Jimmy Page Tonebenders" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
