shoobah Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Imagine if Jimmy had asked Robert to perform Whole Lotta Love with him at the Olympics closing ceremony, but Robert had refused? What better way for Jimmy to upstage Robert's possible winning of the Mercury Music Prize in September by performing Whole Lotta Love with a pop singer half his age at a ceremony that will be watched by millions across the world on TV? Wonderful revenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeptangerine Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 MEG - See what you started?? So is it possible The Mirror got it wrong again assuming there would be a "duet" with this Lewis chick, or perhaps (please God) Jimmy will just play solo? I'm not reading the word "duet" in this guy's blog or bloody much elsewhere except the Hindustan Times. Manchester Evening News says: "The names being touted are David Beckham, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and pop star Leona Lewis. So far no mention of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II nor Basil Brush or Bob the Builder. Or Shaun the Sheep. All good British icons eh? But there's still time..." (Hey I just realized- I might be living in England by 2012) ps_ GO for 8 MICHAEL PHELPS!! He's kicking ass while the rest are eating his bubbles...

myledzep Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Back in the day he would have never....today it's the right thing to do. The event is so much bigger than the ego. I bet Robert's green over this one. I've always thought that they competed against each other in some ways. Like who's going to make the first contact call to reunite? If jimmy calls and robert says no I wanna bop a blondie will jimmy ever call again? Robert won't call jimmy because of ego. She needs to do the right thing and let the freebird fly. lol. I assume you're speaking in jest. Yet I'm not surprised that Robert would somehow be mentioned critically about an event that has nothing to do with him. Can't we just be happy that we get to see Jimmy Page performing live???!!! I wasn't going to tune in for much of the closing ceremonies but now I'll be watching!!!

Roxie Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 ^ Exactly! I was so surprised (and happy) to read about Jimmy playing at the closing ceremony. As long as he (or any of the other members) are out there and playing, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I can't believe most of the reactions I've read in this thread. I hope he stands near the top of the Olympic Flame and gives us two minutes of the banishing routine with an awesome light show in tandem with every smack of the bow. That'll shut you f*ckers up.

Wonderful revenge! Lyrically the most fitting Zeppelin song would be The Rover. Especially, the opening lines fits in with the spirit of the Olympics.

indigomoonbeam Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 This is a very shrewd profile raising ploy by Jimmy, which is a perfect way to create fertile soil in domain of the wider public for his forthcoming Broadway launch of "Lucifer Rising the Opera."

Cat Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 You will see several dancing dragons and fantastic fireworks. Can we expect to see Jimmy in a dragon suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well here is to a closing ceremony and handover that none of us expected. The torch heads for London and we have Jimmy Page playing for all the world to see. A mixture of uncertainty and pride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
