ro_a Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 From an interview in yesterday's Mail On Sunday "No one would ever have thougt to put the two of us together. Led Zeppelin and Leona? It isn't a combination you'd normally think of, is it? But as soon as I was asked by the Olympic committee I was excited. I met Jimmy and he was lovely, I completely knew who he was, because loads of my Aunts were huge fans of his. What amazed me was that he knew who I was. He'd seen me on The X Factor and he even asked me for an autograph for his granddaughter. He was so lovely to me." Lewis tells me that it was she who made the decision to rearrange "Whole Lotta Love" to suit her ow voice. When I remark that many others would never have dared even to suggest such rock sacrilege. Lewis shakes her head, creating waterfalls of long amber curls around her face. "I knew had to change it, to make it into something a bit different, because there was no way I could do the original. I had to make it my own. I told Jimmy straight away. I sat with some producers and we worked it to what we wantedit to be and then called Jimmy.I couldn't actually be in the room while e listened to what we did to his song. BUt after a few minutes he just walked out of the room with a huge smile on his face and said "I love it" "I still can't believe I did that with Jimmy Page at the olympics. Some things are just so big they still don't hit you even when they've actually happened." She also revealed that she and Jimmy were worried about the state their hair etc woud be in by the time they were revealed from their secret hideaways in the top of the bus. Ooh found the link to save me more typing and scanning. http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/moslive/arti...ys-picture.html Leona claims re-arrangement to suit her vocal style, and yet the delivery snapped me into LZ II lisentening mode as if.. how should I put this.. as if I was transported back in time to a parallel universe where I was hearing the virgin WWL as sung by an undefined queen of soul. Here I am again with my measly two cents. It causes me the least amount of emotional pain and mental anguish when I imagine LL as the next singer for Jimmy Page. All the other names my fellow Zep friends have put forward really bum me out, and I mean bad. It's not that I don't like cliches, I'm just picky about what cliche is right for me. Been listening to Wolfmother a lot this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olipticle Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 its just a collaboration though, Its not like he asked her to join the band... i mean hey what ever happens happens but dont flame him because he did a little show with this bird. im pretty sure he has another agenda for what he wants his band to be like.

Any news on his set up or rig during the show? Which paul did he use? Someone may have mentioned earlier on one of these threads regarding Jimmy's performance at the Olympics that he used his 1960 custom sunburst. Someone correct me if this isn't accurate.

Olipticle Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 hrmm i hadn't seen any posts about it but it looks like a nice custom thats for sure. maybe its a original 1960's but im betting gibson has been making him guitars all year so you never know.

I think I'll take a wild guess that Jimmy doesn't have to pay for his guitars. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
