hot dog Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 The new Q magazine is out (in the UK), with Zeppelin on the cover: Inside are interviews with Jimmy & JPJ. Robert wouldn't be interviewed. A very brief resume: Both are reticent to give much away about what was rehearsed and when. Jimmy hopes for more than one show and would like them to record: 'I would like to keep this moving. I've got things I've been working on for the past 4 years that I'm proud of. Some of the songs I've got are as good as anything I've done in the past. I wouldn't necessarily save them for my solo career'. He mentions that things between them aren't easy as they've got different managers. Jimmy's also worried about the sound at the O2: 'The Stones sounded terrible, Prince wasn't great, Snow Patrol was just this great monolithic noise'. The interviewer mentioned that once the i/v had finished and the tape was switched off, Jimmy opened up: 'Off the record he's more frank about his hope that this one-off reunion might lead to something more extensive next year. 'But at the moment it's not looking good' he concludes, sadly.' Jonesy is more up-beat, seemingly happy to go with the flow. Regarding offers to play he said: 'Yes, we've been offered hundreds of millions of dollars to tour North America but we've never got anywhere near accepting'. When asked about more shows after the O2 he said: 'I have no idea. I guess the door has been left slightly ajar. We'll have to see how we feel about it afterwards. Everybody's got to really want to do it. I'm scheduled to produce an album by Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek early next year..' He also states that neither the triple-neck guitar or the mellotron will be used at the O2! Quote
Electrophile Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 So this is another magazine I need to buy. Thank God the Barnes and Noble near me carries imports. Quote
jpj4eva-jb-rip Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 soo november was awesome..December is gonna be even better Quote
JoeZep Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the article. Sounds like the managers are making it tough. Although with all the $ they will be offered they also may make it work. I am sure JP's new material will not be left on the table. Quote
FireOpal Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) He also states that neither the triple-neck guitar or the mellotron will be used at the O2! Triple-neck guitar?! Wasn't that Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick? I don't mean any harm - just teasing Edited November 30, 2007 by FireOpal Quote
hot dog Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Triple-neck guitar?! Wasn't that Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick? Okay, not all of it is guitar! Edited November 30, 2007 by hot dog Quote
FireOpal Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 D'oh! [slaps forehead smartly] I had just assumed that he was referring to... you know, that other guy in his band. Quote
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Ain't it a great time to be a Led Zeppelin fan??? I'm sure the stockholders of Borders, B & N, etc, will become the biggest fans of all. Quote
PIPPIN Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 He also states that neither the triple-neck guitar or the mellotron will be used at the O2! Bugger!! Quote
BlackDog71 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Great to see Zeppelin showing the new generation how to rock....even when thay are older. 2007 has been great for them. 2008 too? Quote
Hotplant Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 No kidding, this is one EXPENSIVE two months for Zeppelin fan's!! Even if you're NOT going to the show. How many magazines? CD's Tshirts Official program . . . . . . Sorry kids, Santa died. *insert that cartoon of santa's grave* Quote
Atlas Shrugged Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Jones looks beyond cool on that cover. You can tell that HE'S the one who worked with The Mission, REM, Butthole Surfers, etc. Quote

nirvana Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Is it me or do they all look extremely fit and ready...Especially Robert, he actually looks really lean and mean. Very trim. Quote
madison Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 great article thank you!! great pic too Quote
mos6507 Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Actually, something weird happened to Robert's cheeks after Page/Plant. His cheeks are all puffed out now. I think that's why he's grown a beard. Quote

I am going to go broke buying all these LZ related magazines this month, those on top of Christmas pressies. lol Anyway, what is JP holding in his hand on the cover? What you summarized here makes it sound like the only one really standing in the way of a full blown tour is RP...that and managers. I would have to agree though, if they aren't all in this 100%, then they shouldn't tour. I really AM interested in what JP has been working on and will hope the stars will align so that he can put it out the way he wants to do it. (selfishly so, I must add. lol) Quote
LadyRaven Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 It's not out in the US yet. I went looking for it today and couldn't find it. Quote
