Page Says ‘No’ to Rock Band and Guitar Hero … Again!

Van Halen’s done it. Metallica and Aerosmith have done it. Hell, even the Beatles are doing it. But don’t expect Led Zeppelin to follow in those footsteps and lend their music to a video game anytime soon.
In a conversation with Starpulse.com, legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page shot down any possibility that the heavy metal kings would sign off on letting one of the two giants – Guitar Hero or Rock Band – use its songs for a video game.
Why? Page just doesn’t think Zeppelin’s music would work in such a format.
“Obviously, there have been overtures made to Led Zeppelin,” Page said, “but if you start with the first track on the first album, ‘Good Times Bad Times,’ and you think of the drum part that John Bonham did there, how many drummers in the world can actually play that, let alone dabble on a Christmas morning? There could be a lot of alcohol consumed over Christmas, and you still aren't going to get it.”
Page’s advice to aspiring musicians is to pick up a real instrument and learn it – just like the musicians they’re emulating in the video games.
“You'll see if you've got a passion to want to play the instrument, and that is a good initiation,” Page said. “From my experience, once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It wasn't a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.”
