As we go deeper into this 21st century and this instant-gratification
information age, I can't help but question to what extent the band has
become popularized to the point of no return and there's a bit of
remorse on Jimmy Page's side. And if this is the case, I wonder to
what extent this remorse is driving his decision-making today -- and,
perhaps, his indecision when it comes to unveiling the long-delayed
next phase of his career.

SNIP.

Screw it, Jimmy. Go ahead and tell us what your next band will be
like. Forget your image. Just go out there and play some killer music
already. Do it quickly before John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham slip
away from your grasp once and for all. Can't you see that Michael Lee
is already gone. Robert Plant's a lost cause. You can have Jones and
Bonham today. Go and get them.

Defending the work of Led Zeppelin is a task that is unending. But
your work as Jimmy Page the artist is for a limited time only. You
must act now.

Devoted fans are standing by.
