JIMMY PAGE Interviewed At IVOR NOVELLO AWARDS (Video) - May 23, 2011
Absolute Radio 's Tania Snuggs conducted an interview with LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page at the most prestigious British music awards, Ivor Novello Awards, on May 19 in London, England. You can now watch the chat below.
Publisher's Marketplace announced earlier in the month that "Light & Shade: Conversations With Jimmy Page", by Guitar World editor-in-chief Brad Tolinski, went to Crown at auction in a "significant deal."
Using the Publisher's Marketplace "deal key," a "significant deal" is a book deal that garners $251,000 - $499,000.
"Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page" last year became the fastest-selling book in the history of Genesis Publications, having sold-out through pre-orders alone. The book, which documents the iconic guitarist's life from his childhood in music through his legendary career with LED ZEPPELIN to the present day, was personally compiled by Page and features 650 images, many from his personal archive. Jimmy also wrote the accompanying text and helped design the magnificently luxurious binding to create an artifact that is an incredible visual documentary which reflects his vast contribution to music.

Re: Led Zeppelin Discussion
I completely understand that they don't want to do another series of shows even though Jason & maybe John would be up to it. Rob doesn't feel like his voice is in the right field to be doing anything big live. Jimmy still has the skills though; but he just wants the memories to be fond and in the past. The problem is they will always get that question from the press every time they show up together. I can't wait to buy the Blu Ray and see this show with the content.
Re: Led Zeppelin Discussion
Does any of that sound familiar to you guys? A lot of successful rock stars clash with the media...Zep and the media hated each other back in the day. Gnr has turned out the same way. Not media darlings during the time, but as time went on, the respect grew immensely. (of course just talkin original band).
