Do you know if it's true if Robert Plant had drug issues? A friend of mine said he was the only one in the bad who did
He certainly was NOT the only one in the band with drug issues, however, if you were to ring Jimmy about it, you'd hear the phone slam.Robert seemed to be mostly a pot smoking hippie type, while Jimmy had cocaine, heroin, pot, alcohol, etc. Obviously, Bonzo's alcoholism butchered him in the end. Robert is very open about how much fun he had in his heyday, and who's to say that quaaludes and various other '70s drugs didn't make their way into his dressing room?-JayCee
Prince - Whole Lotta Love (Cover)
As this blogās tribute to Prince, here he is adding his own funky groove and incredible guitar skills to a classic Led Zeppelin song!
Do you have the gifs of Robert Plant where dance with a girl on stage and she kiss him?
Itās here. And the original video is here.Ā

Jimmy is epitomized in that scene in the āIt Might Get Loudā documentary where heās listening to Link Wrayās āRumbleā, and heās a child, and heās so excited and enthralled by the magic of that record.

John Bonham used to do a lot of, sort of, rap stuff. He would just get drunk and start singing things like what you hear in the beginning of āThe Oceanā. He would stomp his feet, and his fingers would get going. I think he originally had some lyrics about drinking pints of bitter, you know: Now Iām feeling better because Iām out on the tiles.
Robert Plant, on how āOut On The Tilesā was written. (via fuckyeahzeppelin)
In those days, we traveled in a station wagon on the first or second tour of America. Thatās the best way to travel and also you could communicate. It got a little harder later. We were in San Francisco looking for the Fillmore. We were down somewhere by Fishermanās Wharf in the fog in this Oldsmobile cruiser. Me and Bonham fooling around in the back and Jimmy saying, āClose the window. My hair, my hair!ā [laughs]

I know you guys haven't been around for a while, but you do/have done a great job, don't put yourself down!!! xo
Haha thatās very sweet of you to say, what I mean is with being away from this blog, Tumblr and indeed Zeppelin altogether from the best part of two years means I have to rely on my shaky memory to answer things, but the blog does let me throw the question out to the far more knowledgeable and on the ball people who can help out!!Ā

do you happen to know when Jimmy Page started smoking?
The earliest picture Iāve seen of him with a cigarette is this (there is another from the same series but Iāll just post the one), taken by Pennie Smith on Wandsworth Common in September 1974:
I havenāt seen any pictures of him smoking prior to this (there are quite a few band photos where the other members are holding cigarettes and he isnāt) however I donāt know whether or not he smoked in private. Interestingly Iāve not seen any pictures in 1975 of him smokingā¦they emerge from 1976 onwards.
As I keep saying nowadays every time I get an ask, Iāve been out of the Zep loop for a while so my memory isnāt what it wasā¦if anybody has any better info please let me know!
~ Ree
ETA: Please see thisĀ very helpful info from a kind anon who should clearly be running this blog instead of me!Ā
I think he smoked privately before. Thereās this quote by Dibgy Smith (Island Studios tape operator) āā¦big orange Lockwood cabinets on wheels, as big as Page was - and he was leaning on one of them with a cigarette in his mouth. ā¦ā This was during the recording of Stairway to Heaven which was in Dec 1970. Also, one of the groupies said that he wasnāt seen smoking PUBLICLY in the early days. And thereās the story where he apparently started chain-smoking on a flight to annoy a stewardess in 76/77
Thatās really helpful, thanks very much for this. I was fairly sure heād have smoked at some point (weed if not anything else) but had no concrete evidence.Ā

Then, those transvestite have nothing to do with Robert?
As far as I know the "well known" transvestite story is that one surrounding Jonesy which I addressed in my previous answer, but if you or anyone has heard differently/has more info let me know!- Ree
Can you tell me the story of transvestite written in the book of Stephen Daves?
John Paul Jones has explained it in his own words, and I think thatās far more worth reading, here.
The relevant quote:
āSPS: Oh, maybe a song named after the Royal Orleans hotel ā¦JPJ: Oh, that was Robert in his usual homophobic manner. I donāt know what ⦠You see, the only trouble with that book [Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis], that stupid book was that it got all its facts wrong. It got all the stories the wrong way around. Part of that, it wasnāt funny. I mean, some of the stories were actually hilarious, but the way the book reads is, āWhat a bunch of miserable bastards we are!ā But no, I mean, everybody knew who those people were. They were friends of Richard [Cole]ās. And yes, we knew they were transvestites. We were friends. Her name was ⦠Her name was ⦠Stephanie! Weād see her every time weād go to New Orleans. But Robert was a bit provincial. They werenāt like big city boys. They donāt like all that sort of thing. Richard and Jimmy and I ⦠They were friends of the band, for Godās sake, you know. And then this idiot, Steve Davis, gets it all mixed up. I mean, OK, so we were in our room, drinking, and probably fell asleep, and I[clears his throat] found the room full of firemen!ā
