You classic rock fans are the real deal. I show you a pic of Jimmy Page laughing and you’ll be able to tell me why he’s laughing, where he’s laughing, at what volume he’s laughing and for exactly how long, respect

I wish I was that fucking good!

Unspoken Rules of the Classic Rock Fandom

1. Everyone wants a time machine. Like, more than they want oxygen.

2. Everyone has a crush on a 25-year-old version of a man who’s currently either in his 70’s or dead.

3. There’s gonna be that one song from your favorite band that makes you cry every time at inopportune moments. Just go with it.

4. There can never be enough musical biopics, even if they’re not always the greatest movies.

5. Rockstars, despite being musical geniuses, are often fucking idiots.

6. You can’t surprise older fans anymore because they’ve kinda seen/heard it all. The mudshark incident? The egg burrito thing? David Bowie doing so much coke that he dropped his weight to 95 pounds to avoid having his soul stolen? Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

7. Elton John may not technically be a rockstar, but we’ve all adopted him as one anyway. Fight me.

8. The 60’s had LSD. The 70’s had heroin. The 80’s had cocaine. The 90’s had even more heroin. Today, all we have is tears about missing all the good shows that were played before most of us were born.

9. Please don’t ask about John Entwistle’s mustache. Yeah, that mustache. We don’t know either.

10. Handmade guitars and fat-bottomed girls make the rockin’ world go ‘round, honey.

11. If you say Freddie Mercury’s teeth are ugly, may God have mercy on your poor soul.

12. When we say “The bigger, the better”, we’re talking about 80’s glam rock hairstyles.

13. Everyone has a hand kink. That’s all.

14. Don’t be a bitch to new fans.

15. Vinyl will always be better than an mp3 and live music will always be better than vinyl.

16. Everyone has cried over a low-quality, shitty picture or a blurry, poorly-filmed video of your favorite band at least once.

17. Live Aid Day might as well be a national holiday, except for the Led Zeppelin fandom (sorry, guys).

18. Bassists are the most under appreciated members of every band. Fix this. NOW.

19. Everyone has that one guitar solo that just sorta awakened something in you the first time you heard it and you’ve never been the same since.

20. LEMONS. Also Jack Daniels.

y’all ever have those lines in songs where, when they finally sing it, ur heart just goes !!!!! and you become very happy because that one line in particular is just so wonderfully and artfully crafted?? like sometimes it’s the tune, sometimes it’s the lyrics, sometimes it’s a key change, sometimes it’s a long note, sometimes it’s something hard to explain!! i live for these lines tbh, sometimes i’ll listen to particular songs just to hear a specific line lmao

Get What She Came For  Chapter 3

~ a quick disclaimer that the dates aren’t based on real tour dates just made up as a marker for the rough time period. Enjoy x ~

15th August 1973 

The intense roar of the crowd melded together with the last note of ‘Whole Lotta Love’, creating a great swell of noise, as Led Zeppelin concluded their set. Jimmy Page stared intently at the sight before him, the kingdom that he had built, bowing his head in thanks as thousands of eager fans screamed in adoration. As his gaze drifted he concentrated on the front rows, one of his favourite parts of each evening was when the front of house lights finally came up and he was able to better make out the faces of those in front of him. Just then, a mass of white curly hair caught his eye. His face fell.

“Can’t be…” he murmured quietly to himself. It was her. Those otherworldly violet eyes caught his from the far left of the crowd. Lena smirked at him. Jimmy scowled back. He strode over to one of the stage hands as the band made their exit. 

“That girl. White hair, black clothes - get her backstage. We have some things we need to discuss.” The stage hand nodded

——

“Happy to see me?” Lena smirked as she was pulled into a dressing room a little more roughly than she would have liked. She looked the sweat drenched guitarist up and down, pondering his fragility as she took in his slender frame. 

“Why are you here? It better be to return that money you stole.” He said bluntly. He may have been well off but parting ways with the money he earned was never a feeling he relished. 

“Stole? Money you owed darling.” She sighed, as though she were bored by him, beginning to walk around the room and peer at all the interesting contents. There were a couple of Jimmy’s guitars lying in their cases as if asleep. They seemed dormant, waiting to be coaxed into waking and scream for the fans who loved them. 

“Peter said he handled all of that. Look - I don’t know who you’re working for or why but you can tell them if they’re going to send anymore of…whatever you are then we’ll be getting our supplies from elsewhere.” Jimmy said firmly yet still with the softness that never left his voice. 

Lena spun round to face him and placed her hands on her hips. 

“Okay. Let’s say I do you a deal. I don’t take anymore of your money and you let me come on the road for the next week.” She said, cocking an eyebrow. 

“What?” Jimmy hissed. Lena tilted her head to the side and smiled at him, refusing to reiterate.

“You can’t just waltz in to a dressing room after a show and invite yourself on tour. Peter is going to be here soon and he will be angry enough as it is that you’re here. I think it’s best that you leave.” He said, trying to ignore how drawn he felt to this woman. 

“Fine. So I’ll just tell my boss that you boys don’t want to make good on any debts and are going to be going with one of our competitors. Oh he’ll love that. Tell me, do you employ security? Because I’d start hiring extra.” She chuckled. She tried not to give away the tension she felt in her entire body or the fact that her heart was hammering in her chest. She knew she was playing a risky game and that if she told enough lies to get what she wanted eventually it would catch up with her. 

Jimmy’s face fell into a frown. 

“Fine. You can come to the shows but you go with the road crew. And make yourself scarce. Peter really isn’t the kind of man you want getting angry. But there’s one thing I need to know before you follow us around like a lost puppy…” He hissed, the venom in his voice lashing out at her in subdued anger. He then paused briefly in contemplation. Sauntering slowly closer to her so as to look her directly in the eye.

“Why?” He asked softly. Lena was silent for a time conscious not to reveal too much about her motivations with her answer. Not that she truly knew what they were herself. 

“I need a new crowd.” She said in a flat, emotionless tone, making sure that Jimmy understood that was all she’d give away. He nodded ever so slightly, pursing his lips to a pout and narrowing his eyes. 

“Graham!” He called, without looking away from Lena for a moment. The same stagehand that had shoved her into the dressing room just moments ago now shuffled back into the room. 

“Escort this young lady to one of the busses. She’s going to be travelling with us for a while.”He instructed in such a gentle voice it constantly seemed juxtaposed to the things he said. 

Lena cocked an eyebrow and smirked at Jimmy, winking at him, before turning swiftly on her heel and striding out of the room. As she followed the crew member down the long, cold corridor of the arena. She let out a shuddering breath full of relief and elation. She really didn’t expect to pull that one off. For the first time in a long time she would get back to the life she used to know; where the glory of rock music was new and her freedom seemed endless. She still didn’t care much for Jimmy Page but she cared for his music a great deal and decided that that was enough. Her lithe, pale limbs carried her as quickly as they could to a new adventure.
