Below is from a Brazilian music publication. The veracity of the below story should be taken with a major major grain of salt, however the prospect is quite intriguing and of course, stranger things have happened.
Sharing with you a rumor that has been gaining more and more strength:
Glenn Hughes invited Jimmy Page would be the new guitarist for Black
Country Communion's Joe Bonamassa in place, and the mastermind behind
Led Zeppelin would be one step closer to accepting the invitation .
Let the facts: the relationship soured between Bonamassa and Hughes at the time of release of the third album of BCC, Afterglow. The reason was the refusal of Joe on touring to promote the album, focusing all his efforts on his solo career. Mercadologicamente, Bonamassa's decision makes sense because it alone sells more records than the BCC. However, it is also understandable Glenn's complaint, after a band release a new job and do shows to promote it is at least strange.
There are two points that should be taken into consideration in this history of the BCC Page. The first is that Black Country Communion was formed around Joe Bonamassa, with active participation of producer Kevin Shirley. So it would be strange guitarist stay out of a possible second incarnation of the ensemble.
And the second point is that one of the partners in Page's recent appearances Zeppelin Jason Bonham, the drummer is BCC, which would help, and a lot at the entrance to the Jimmy banda. Remember also that even Shirley already has a lasting working relationship with Page and Led Zeppelin, working on the new version of Live The Song Remains the Same and triple How the West Was Won, and Led Zeppelin DVD's multiplatinum. Shirley also produced Live at the Greek, written by Jimmy beside the Black Crowes, and No Quarter - Unledded, Page & Plant.
To repeat: there is no confirmation on any of this yet, but rumors are taking increasing proportions in recent weeks, so I decided to share with you all. Personally, as a huge fan of Led,'m rooting for it to happen and that Jimmy Page return to active, showing his brilliance in another band besides Zeppelin.
Fingers crossed!
