Jagger has this strange way of deflecting anyone who tries to ask him anything . Burton Cummings of Guess Who comes up to Jagger and says wow I rediscovered Black And Blue and Jagger just shrugged him off.

"Good time, bad time" is a great song well played by LZ. First LZ lp is very good but Mick likes to compete;I understand Mick's angle. Don't forget that Mick went to see LZ's last show in London.Keith's timeless hatred of LZ's music is more strange I think.
Rockandroll,

Mick never said «It was awful»?

Once Zep hit the circuit, a rock band had a tough time playing less than 70-90 minutes without taking crap for it.

Mick blames Zeppelin for the fact that the Stones had to start playing "longer" shows in 1969. Once Zep hit the circuit, a rock band had a tough time playing less than 70-90 minutes without taking crap for it.

In any case, kudos to whoever and whatever caused the Stones to feel the need to up their game.

Always liked Led Zeppelin. Magnificent albums. I missed seeing them live unfortunately but I did get to see a Page/Plant gig and it was excellent. These guys (at least Page and JP Jones as session people) and The Stones bumped into one another. JP Jones with She’s A Rainbow and Page on One Hit To The Body. Also Page played slide on a version of Heart of Stone. Led Zeppelin used Stargroves and The Rolling Stones Mobile recording studio for Houses Of The Holy. And there is a Peter Grant management connection with Ronnie.

Perhaps Mick and Keith are a bit pissed off that in the wealth stakes Page and Plant are not as far behind them as you might think.
And that's after only 12 years of tours and recording.
And not becoming tax exiles.

It's too bad the Stones didn't do a reissue campaign like Page did with Zep with the extra discs, they could've loaded them up with leftovers.

A few obvious reasons why they haven't :
1.The Stones are still an active band..just.
2. Neither Mick or Keith would have the same focus and dedication as Page to trawl through the archives...to the same extent.
3. The Stones best work belongs to ABKCO..enough said.
4. Both Mick and Keith do work outside of The Stones...not sure what Page does professionally away from curating the Zeppelin catalogue (which in my opinion he has done a good job).
5. I suspect Roger Plant let's Page get on with it; can't see that happening with Mick and/or Keith.

Funny you say that as imo Page's valorisation of LZ archive legacy amounts to nil. The expanded version of the studio albums was laughable (wow, alt. mixes?) and for "How The West Was Won" Page couldn't help do what he always did : making a hodge-podge live album of trax merged from different nights and at times from different tours.
Can you imagine the Stones releasing a 1972 live album with a few licks borrowed from a show recorded during the 1973 tour.
Well Page thinks this is a good idea...

How The West Was Won was compiled from two nights, plus an instrumental part from another night later on in that tour, from what I gather. Most live albums I know are compiled from a lot more shows, Stones included (Still Life, Flashpoint?). Besides, the Stones probably would have simply overdubbed that extra part, when, for obvious reasons, Zeppelin didnt.
Lol, seriously. At least some of their peers are a bit more active when it comes to new material.Quote

Thanks, and interesting quote at the end:
"The guitar is more important than I am at this point"
Yeah Jimmy, you better get back to remastering the old Zep catalogue again before everyone completely forgets about you!
Wondering if there's any progress on material for his new solo...uhhh...never mind...fuhgeddaboudit.
Between that and the supposed new Stones album (14 years and Counting), might as well hibernate for a few more years before anything sees the light of day!
