Jimmy Page Is Done with Touring But Is “Still Playing” Guitar

Jimmy Page says he has no intention of touring again, but continues to play guitar. The 82-year-old Led Zeppelin legend offered an update on his music career to The Sun while attending the Music Industry Trust Awards in London earlier this week. Page said, “The whole sort of, ‘living out of a suitcase, bags go down at seven in the morning, and then you leave for the plane at midday,’ that doesn’t really appeal to me any more. But the idea of playing does, and I am still playing – of course I am.” As it stands, Page hasn’t toured in a quarter century, the last time being an outing with the Black Crowes in 2000. Meanwhile, Page has also revealed a new signature 6w amp limited to just 50 units, all individually signed by the man himself. The amp, named the Dragonette and designed by Sundragon, is modeled after Jimmy Page’s modified Supro Coronado he played with Led Zeppelin beginning all the way back on their debut album. It follows a similar recreation in 2019 named the Nymph but with a power block closer to the wattage of the original amp. “Enter the Dragonette, an amp with the preamp of the Nymph and the power section of my original amp, slightly scaled back to six watts with a carefully chosen 10″ inch speaker,” Page said. “The result is a perfect blend of the old and new. The response from musicians in our inner circle has been great and we are happy to release the amp this autumn.” The limited-edition Dragonette retails for $9,000. More information can be found on Sundragon’s website. Check out an image of the Dragonette below, and see where Led Zeppelin landed on Consequence‘s list of the 100 Best Bands of All Time.
