Led Zeppelin guitarist JIMMY PAGE comes to 2008 Toronto Film Festival with the EDGE and JACK WHITE – all prove to be very difficult autographs
September 26, 2008 by Richard Budman ·
The documentary, IT MIGHT GET LOUD made a 2008 world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Notable for one reason – the doc features Jimmy Page, U2′s The Edge, and Whitestripes Jack White, all of whom came to Toronto to help promote the documentary.
I was anxious to try Page as I have been sitting on some beautiful Led Zeppelin albums already autographed by Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. We greeted Jimmy Page at the airport on arrival to the Toronto festival. Jimmy explained nicely he was NOT going to be doing any signing this trip. He was kind of, “finished with that.” And though many opportunities to get close to Page presented themselves over the couple of days he was in Toronto – He basically stuck to his word and signed nothing. At least, almost nothing.
Heading to the airport to depart Toronto we caught Jimmy one last time to plead our case. It wasn’t easy. But Page did relent and sign a couple autographs. It is clear that Jimmy Page will be signing very little Led Zeppelin memorabilia in the years to come. Treasure what you got and if you must buy a Page autograph, do it very carefully.

What a wanker. Maybe we’ll stop buying hiss sh**y records from now on. Kind of finoished woth that!!!
Some people need to learn to calm themselves. God forbid some one choose to not sign an autograph. This far down the road, Jimmy has nothing to prove.
dudes stop being children. i mean he’s supposed to sign autographs even if he’s been doing that for 40 years now?. dudes i’m like a huge led zeppelin fan but i don’t bother asking for autographs, cuz i know it’s annoying. you should just grow up and stop treasuring page or blackmoore autographs like it was their semen..
Inresponse to what is written below –
REALLY? IS IT ALSO ANNOYING TO GET ROYALTY CHECKS THROUGH THE MAIL? YEAH, I BET THE W*NKER WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT SIGNING AUTOGRPHS IF HIS MONEY STOPPED COMING IN AND THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK! AND JUST FOR THE RECORD IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH THE OP THEN MAYBE THIS BOARD ISN’T FOR YOU. CELEBRITIES OWE EVERYTHING TO THEIR FANS. WITHOUT THEM, THEY PROBABLY WOULD’NT EVEN BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEIR PLANE TICKETS, THEY’D BE SIGNING ON AT UEMPLOYMENT AND STRUMMING THEIR GUITARS IN COUNCIL FLATS – WHERE NO ONE IS LISTENING. THERE’S A SOBERING THOUGHT FOR A CELEBRITY ASS!
