Jimmy Page's manager is talking about the on-going investigation into the Led Zeppelin vaults, and the uncovering of some never-before-heard-by-the-public material to release.
Reddit's 'Ask Me Anything' interviews (AMAs for short) have become something of a rite of passage for public figures -- not to mention a fascinating forum for sharing interesting and/or useful information.

Today (April 1), we honor the birth date of one of the most beloved musicians of his era, Ronnie Lane. This Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rocker was a driving force in two British bands of note, the Small Faces and later, the Faces, being joined by singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood.

May 11, 2012 Last night as I was flipping through channels, I stumbled across a Led Zeppelin concert at Madison Square Garden going back to 1973 for the "Song remains the same" album.

How does one begin to pay homage to a living legend like Jimmy Page? Rolling Stone Magazine calls him "The Pontiff of Power Riffing", Gibson ranks him at #2 in the list of "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time" and he was ranked 3rd in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" (and that was just this past year, no less).
Jimmy Page could soon be knighted if a member of British Parliament has her way. If you're not familiar with the British Orders of the Empire, let me attempt to enlighten you. They are: GBE, KBE, CBE, OBE and MBE. No one has any idea what they mean.
