Hindenburg, 1936. |
"Page isn’t only praised for his brilliance for creating guitar riffs and his varied style, but he’s also the mastermind behind Led Zeppelin’s sound both as a record producer and songwriter. His mastery in music turned the band into unquestionably one of the best bands in rock history."
True. But after the fourth album, no more swinging, no going, no dick (the biggest dick = band's name)
There’s no doubt that the Led Zeppelin legend has a long story to tell if he were to publish a memoir. With an exceptional music career that’s known for its longevity as well as its success, fans would
"immediately jump on the idea of a Jimmy Page autobiography".
Oftcourse.
"Unfortunately, Page himself doesn’t agree with this idea for a specific reason. Let’s look at the time when the guitarist candidly opened up about having a book about his life as well as his reason for keeping it unpublished until he dies."
I know those reasons - e.g. copyright violations and Satanism.
And there will be some so called Lori Maddox. She was, amazingly, just 14 when she met Page, though Page did what he could to keep the relationship hidden. Even in the "swingin' Seventies" this kind of thing could put you in jail. But with no TMZ or Us Weekly, Page got away with it. He eventually dumped Maddox for the of-legal-age Bebe Buell.
American journalist Ellen Sander has described life with Led Zeppelin as “like being inside cages at a zoo where you get to smell the shit first-hand".
The same was said by Matti Laipio, a promoter employed by a Finnish record company, but that Page was a good guy, the only one of them.
"Since the Led Zeppelin icon belongs to that minority, Jimmy Page was asked a question about one of his previous statements regarding his future autobiography during a 2015 interview with Channel 4 News. When the interviewer suggested the possibility of him not wanting a memoir because he’s afraid of being sued, the rocker confirmed this truth but cleared the misunderstanding in his statement."

"In his own words, Page made it clear that he had a good reason for his decision to publish a memoir after he passed away. Apparently, the musician wants to release a book posthumously due to the possible legal problems he can face but not because he fears being sued."
Actually, it's pretty fucking much the same thing. The charges are read in court.
Jimmy Page stated that he has to wait "until he dies so he can deliver a real story since he wants to be able to freely express himself in his memoir without the possible restrictions. It seems like the rocker doesn’t want to restrain himself for the sake of just releasing a memoir and made a clever move by postponing it until his death."
According to Page’s statement about his autobiography all will be opened:
It went this kind of ways:
“I said what I would do is do a book to be released or published posthumously. That’s what I said. I said that for good reason because I wouldn’t just want to get caught up in legal wranglings. I just wanna be able to do a book, say what it was, and then let it be released. That’s all. So, I don’t want to get bogged down in any details of unpleasantness or whatever. I just want to tell the real story.”
I need your story, Jimmy.
Otherwise,
Frank Sinatra also refused the biography "too much of a thing - you don't want to remember."
B.T.W.
Perhaps part of same type of causes and violent crimes.
