RE: Page's work & accomplishments

["Tim Druck" <drucktim5538@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally think we should all stop counting albums like a bunch of
children - both of them have been working, Pagey not quite as much as
Percy, and we'd all like more and harder out of all of them, maybe even
together.  
        Also, when are we going to realize that Jimmy says stuff to
screw with us, knowing we hang on every word he says?  I guarantee he's
laughing his ass off somewhere, reading posts analyzing his comments
about new tracks in the can, or meeting a drummer at his kids' school,
or dropping random hints about an autobio...  
        Jimmy's M-O has always been to keep us in the dark - he's even
said "the mystique is the most important part, why would I blow it?"  If
and when something happens, we'll find out the way we always do - press
releases and statements from other people.  Anything Jimmy says he says
for effect, and the effect, as with many rockstars, is sometimes his own
amusement.  And I say Bravo Jimmy...  if I had people hanging on my
every word I'd pull some chains myself...  ;o)

Your arguments almost hold water except when twisted this way:

NQ/ Unledded ( nothing really new per se just a Plant twist on ol Zep 
nuggets )
Coda ( nothing new per se except cleaning out what was almost done )
Box sets ( nothing new just remastering and repackaging )
BBC ( nothing new just repackaging what was already done)
BC ( Zep cover band )
HTWWW & DVD ( nothing new just alot of hard work cleaning up years of 
neglect )

So in that respect you can say, yes he was busy, but he hasn't produced 
any *new* SOLO material in over 12 years!!!!! ( not including WIC as I 
believe those were Plant outtakes ) So in that respect Plant has him
beat.

Jimmy has teased us way to long with those 12 songs in the bag etc etc 
etc but really hasn't given us any new stuff to chew through...oh yeah, 
Domino...in ages. I am even starting to wonder about this last effort 
which seemed to be gathering steam at first but now seems to have gone 
grounded since Jimmy put his hands in the cement.
