Bedtime For Bonzo

Posted 2000-12-05 (火) 午後7:31 by terra

Now I must admit that I didn’t contribute much to this CD cover. The seeder of this concert had a little inspiration from an old Reegan movie, whose chimp star shared the same nickname with John Bonham. A fellow trader took the idea and stuck good ole Bonzo’s head on the chimp’s. All I merely did was to do some skin tone colour corrections, as well as to digitally enhance the picture, which was originally of a lower resolution. I just thought I’d put this up because it really is so quirky.

This is one of my personal favourites. Not because it’s particularly great, but because it’s a picture of my favourite guitarist of all time, Jimmy Page. The guitar in the original b/w scan from the book Portraits by Neal Preston was very blurred and not suitable for a wallpaper. So I had to take a picture of the Gibson guitar from the Gibson website, and merge it with the photo. I added wings from a sketch, and using similiar techniques as the first 2 pictures in the gallery, coloured and added highlights to the picture.

"Good Times Bad Times", Classic Rock, May 2000

Posted 2000-05-01 (月) 午前1:44 by terra

Transcribed from Classic Rock May 2000 Good Times Bad Times, pg 42-49.

Part two of Classic Rock’s exclusive interview with Jimmy finds him back home in England, where he speaks for the first time about the end of Led Zeppelin and of what the future now has in store for the legendary guitarist.

Frankly, I have never known him more excited. “Michael Wallus Maximus!” he bellows down the phone at me. “It’s me — James Patrick Page! How the devil are ya?!”

Good, I tell him. But I wouldn’t mind a bit of whatever you’re on. You sound on fire.

I tell you what,” he says excitedly, “I am!”

It is just after noon on an exceptionally sunny Friday in March. Having spent the previous week in New York talking to the world’s press about his new live album with The Black Crowes — “It was unbelievable! Totally electric!” — Jimmy Page is now back home at his not inconsiderable pile buried deep in the English countryside. Back to normal, you might say — or might if this time he didn’t sound so completely abnormal…

Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes Chat on AOL, Feb 29, 2000

Posted 2000-02-29 (火) 午前12:00 by terra

AOL LIVE: Welcome Jimmy Page & Chris Robinson.

Chris: Rich is here as well!

Question: Chris and Jimmy, are you planning on making a tour of the Southern USA? (praying and pleading….PLEASE!!!) -Ariel

Jimmy: We are discussing, it would be nice if it happens.

Question: Good Evening to you both…Mr. Page, Mr. Robinson. I just want to know what the basis for this collaboration was. Whose idea initially was it, and do you foresee any other tour dates…because Oklahoma loves you… both!! God Bless! Thanks…….vonda

Jimmy: The culprit is me! It was me who called! I asked The Crowes if they would like to do a charity event with me and it spiraled from there. That was how it came to be. The catalyst was a charity event in London.

Question: Your recent projects in the Internet has surprised some of your fans. It seems that you are devoting a lot of energy exploring this potential market. What future cyberprojects do you anticipate?

Jimmy Page profile, Guitar Player, June 1969

Posted 2000-01-01 (土) 午前12:00 by terra

Transcribed from Guitar Player June ‘69 [Transcription by Richard Maenpaa]

By Bob Kennedy

From the time Jimmy Page launched Led Zeppelin, it did what most groups dream of doing: it floated right to the top, first in England and now in the U.S. We caught Jimmy Page at the high temple of rock, the Fillmore in San Francisco, where he was making one of his first U.S. appearances. Although the Led Zeppelin had only been together two months, they were jamming as if they had been doing it for years.

Jimmy, who plays lead guitar for Led Zeppelin, worked two years with the much-lauded Yardbirds. At that time he became good friends with another Yardbirds veteran, Eric Clapton. “Eric and I did a lot of stuff at my house,” he recalls. “We used to just get the tape recorder working and start playing. A lot of the tapes we did together came out in the media. However, at the time I was recording with Eric, he was under contract and so his company took possession of the recordings. It’s interesting to see the progress Eric has made since then.”
