Jimmy Page Planning Solo Record and Tour in 2010
- Posted on Dec 18th 2009 11:30AM by John D. Luerssen
Former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page says he has an album's worth of new material that he plans to release and tour behind in 2010. After failing to get singer Robert Plant to rejoin Zeppelin after the band's 2007 reunion show at London's O2 arena, the legendary axeman now intends to go it alone. "We're running up to Christmas now and next year I have every intention of playing music live and manifesting it," Page told Sky News. "I've got the music waiting, and that's what I'll be doing. It's been two years since the O2, so it's time to do that."
With bassist John Paul Jones experiencing a career resurgence as part of Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme and Plant busy working on a second album with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, the 65-year-old Page says he remains devoted to his craft and went so far as to compare his love of the guitar to a happy marriage.
"There's this bonding with this instrument," explained Page while promoting the guitar documentary 'It Might Get Loud', which was directed by Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim and also stars Jack White and the Edge. "It's as simple as that. They sort of speak with their own character. You can have this marvelous affair with a guitar, almost like a marriage. But at the end of the day it doesn't ask you for alimony."

Its time to save rock and roll, but it can't be done alone as this type of music cannot be created via drum programming and synthisized bass lines.
