LED ZEPPELIN fans praying for good news on a rumored reunion tour would not have been encouraged by guitarist Jimmy Page at a Toronto film festival press conference where he was promoting the documentary film It Might Get Loud.
The film, a love letter to the electric guitar, features Page, U2 guitarist The Edge, and WHITE STRIPES frontman Jack White discussing their musical backgrounds and jamming with each other on a soundstage.
But with all three rockers assembled in Toronto, the “elephant in the room”, as one reporter put it, was whether recent jam sessions with Page, bassist John Paul Jones, and drummer Jason Bonham would lead to a tour.
Page and Jones are founding band members, while Bonham is the son of original drummer John Bonham, who died in 1980.
“We’re not actually really recording. We played at the O2 (concert in London last year). That was our reunion,” Page said, adding “It’s nothing as monumental as what people are speculating and projecting.”Read more here.
