Led Zeppelin Acceptance Speech - MOJO Honours List 2008

[vedderfan94]

I cannot describe how jealous I am of everyone who saw Led Zeppelin at their peak. I'd give anything to be able to see them.

[FaultyTable]

Page is awesome but jones is really underrated.

[loudigirl]

@theledstone it's crosstown traffic- Jimi hendrix

[iamjustachineseguy]

crosstown traffic!!

[glompritz]

page really can blather on can't he

[crazymanwhois]

@glompritz You criticize the guy for praising his drummer and thanking the audience? What a prink.

[bloodybacon16]

@theledstone Communication Breakdown on LZ I

[theledstone]

Does anyone know the name of the introduction song? I can't remember the name.

[mikey41rules]

@theledstone which one the beginning of the video was crosstown traffic Jimmi Hendrix and the intro to Led Zeppelin was Communication Breakdown

[Snapplarn]

" Its an honour to get it but it was so fun doing it "

[whisperinwindcried67]

@sixsixseveneight -lol-great band-but mick,while being very entertaining is hardly a steller singer.and keef-very good guitarist-an awe inspiring one of a kind,freakin magically gifted like Page?!.mmm, i think not!-charlie watts-extremely adequate,lasting,damn near perfect never miss abeat studio desirable percussionist,yes!-an innovative, thunderously driving force of power that was John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham?-hardly!-ron.w-good player,interesting,intelligent guy- vs.-JPJ's gifts=no comparision

[brazwen]

I'm loving Jimmy Page's Jacket here. It's a nice green colour.

[ukraininoak]

" It was a ' Honor' to get it , such fun to do it" ~ James Page

Nice !

I hope I am quoting properly !

[MrJMontrose]

must say i'd have given the young lady an award as well...i'm just saying

[PindamonhaMAN]

@MrJMontrose I think Page tought about that too on 2:28... hahaha

[MrJMontrose]

@PindamonhaMAN - yeah, he did alright. Hard to tell what she thought of him though. Who's to say what that brief eye contact amounted to. Respect from her angle - re the Zep musical ouvre? Cute older guy in a flat faced slit eyed kinda way? Mesmerising occultist who has hypnotised her and right now has her ensconced in his mansion as a wine wench sex slave? Rich stepping stone? None of the above...?

[whisperinwindcried67]

these guys are the epitome of musicianship.never has such raw genuine talent in every sector of sound that comprised a band been so fully realised as with the Led Zeppelin..it could very well be argued that every member is the best in the world at what they do!-greatest rock and roll band ever.period. and all, class act gentleman.cannot praise their gifts to us enough.absolutely love the timeless art of songs they have given us-even in their solo endeavors-masterpieces! rock royalty- eternally!

[MrTrsmusic]

where is robert

[VerbierSkier]

where's Robert Plant? why isn't he there with JPJ and JP?

[tartinovich9]

the greatest of all : James Page y're are the best guitarist of all time and a phenomenal artist

[sandprof]

JPJ - ageing nicely and not bad turned out - JP - a scruffy little cnut - I would not put the trash out dressed like this. Get yer hair cut and get a tux! Rock God may ye be king of decorum - erm no!

[SPXScreech]

@sandprof Jimmy Page can whatever the hell he wants... On or off stage.

[bonzo971]

@sandprof There's really no words to say to an absolutely beyond ignorant comment such as this. Besides go get fucked. It's James Patrick Page. And it's a ceremony for a rock and roll band, not a wedding. And SPXScreech is right. He can wear whatever the hell he wants. You remind me of that old bitch who accosted Robert Plant on his way to meet Jimmy for the first time. Next thing she knew, Robert was a millionaire, and she was... an old bitter bitch caught in the 40's. Go choke on a dick.

[1980Zoso]

JPJ finally talks YESSSSS

[gibsongold1970]

this band dwarfs all others musically.easily.no competition.

[sorongosongo]

is that a jacket with a german flag which Jimmy Page is wearing on it?

[joydivision808]

@sorongosongo yes its east or west army jacket

[tartinovich9]

Jimmy the greatest of all !!! musical monster

[death2me123]

Jimmy page is GOD!

[MrOdsplut]

The only three serious candidates for best band ever are the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

[dragonferno]

Zeppelin all the way! :3

[TheHedgehogss]

JPJ is like the best person ever.

[mystro810]

They probably forgot about that award by the time the awoke the next day. No big deal, whats one more award for the Masters of Rock?

[Hascuce]

JPJ, you hot one big soft heart

[RandyRocketMetal]

John Paul is not much of a talker, but when he opens his mouth, everyone appreciates what he says :D

[hassanmahtat]

Wonderfull speech JPJ :)

Gotta love the guy, the genius, the Led Zep spine!!!

[Residenteviltrilogy]

What is the song called in the beginning? i know its jimi hendrix!

[regnillab]

For Residenteviltrilogy.

The Jimi Hendrix song is'Crosstown Traffic' from his Electric Ladyland album.

[Residenteviltrilogy]

thx awnsome song

[pikiwiki]

crosstown traffic

[nickthebold]

Crosstwon Trafiic

[hanyamalina]

crosstown traffic:)

[ssike0]

crosstown traffic

[drewby7777]

Cross town traffic

[cerebain]

Doesn't matter if robert wasn't there.  They are all part of the band. And they deserved this reward as a band, whoever accepts it. I wish Jason Bonham had been there to accept it as well.

[fatas412]

too bad robert wasnt there

[janie1961]

love them... great guys musical geniuses !!hope they play again xx

[ukettly]

jimmy voice is so sexy geez

[anniemihn]

Now that they don´t have Plant, the official spokesman, we can finally hear JPJ´s and specially Page´s voice. Cool!

[blandestage27]

oh shit they didnt mention plant lol

[sansured]

Of the couple of hundred or so rock concerts I've seen in the last few decades, including all the greats, nothing has approached the Led Zeppelin gig I witnessed in 1970. Virtually everyone I know that was lucky enough to see Zep in their lean mean early days will tell you that Zeppelin at their best were easily the greatest rock band that ever stepped on a stage.

[zippydude12345]

@sansured .. lucky.

[gio73vanna]

They are over sixty years old and still kick ass musically and in the looks department!!By God , I LOVE THEM!!!

[0008brown8000]

No matter how old they get,they'll always be Zeppelin to me,I'll love them until i fucking choke and die when im probably 95 on a ham sandwitch and a side of chili fries.

:]

And i was reading a Mojo magazine two days ago,when i saw Jimmy's expression on his face after the performance with The Foo Fighters,i laughed my ass off.

xD

ZEPPELIN FOR LIFE!

[TheIvano56]

@gio73vanna sono d'accordo con te Vanna......non ce n'è per nessuno!!!! grandissimi led zeppelin. ciao

[gibsongold1970]

for me,these guys are on another level.i hope that they do another tour!

[Tray711]

So Plant is supposedly pissed for not being thanked. I don't know about all that, but maybe Page could have at least thanked the readers on Plant's behalf. Is it really that easy to forget someone you've known for 40 yrs?

[georgian26]

u r wrong plant is off with that hillbilly bird jew allison krauss and he rejected led zep reunion gigs so he deserves not to be mentioned

[Tray711]

Ok, relax. I know a lot of people would love to see LZ again. But do you really think a group of sixty yr olds could tour turning out that music night after night? Maybe, just maybe, he's being smart. Of course, that's my opinion... don't get bent out of shape over it.

[scarfacedan09]

Hey they remembered JPJ's number again! LOL

[musicismypassion23]

What the person who gave the award said was completely true. They also came first the "rock" magazine dor best live act.

[poussyledzep]

you are the best Zep!!!

[vivaelrock87]

I dream everyday of meeting Mr. Jimyy Page!!!

[niallvan]

I met him 3 years ago. He was cool.

Have a pic with him too.

:)

[vivaelrock87]

Could I please see it? :)

[niallvan]

Ok i just added it to my profile pic.

[vivaelrock87]

I just saw it. U are so lucky (thanks 4 posting), I hope I get to meet him someday. My stepdad is from and lives in Cornwall, England and I am visitting soon. I heard Jimmy Page has a house over there, do you know where it is located? and if u dont mind telling me.. what was he like?

[ledzep94]

wow thats incredible howd u meet him?

[vivaelrock87]

I wish I met him, "niallvan" met him:)

[TheBlackQueen1974]

@vivaelrock87 Me as well my friend me as well.

[Reggie1971]

Hoooray! The world's greatest band.

[klonozo]

Gotta love Page and Jones, the 2 coolest musicians on the planet together, talk about clout. Led Zeppelin are top shelf. The very top.

[bm211]

I was there!! Amazing amazing night
