What would you do differently if you could go back in time?

Oh I've seen more than the DVD, I went to the premiere in London and got to see the band standing about 2m away from me =D
(and yeah that's where my username comes from, I'm obsessed with them).

I kinda disagree with what you think about it though, I thought it was a great show - frankly Page played better than he did in the late 70s when he was on smack 24/7. Of course he wasn't anywhere near his 1968 - 1975 self, but for a 68 year-old I was quite impressed. It's true Plant wasn't anywhere near his old self either, but same, I thought he did quite a good job.
I do believe Page got clean early 80s though (off heroin at least). You can probably trust me, I've read every single book ever written on them ;)

You seen the Led Zeppelin DVD? Or The Song Remains the Same? Now those are worth watching :)
 
I thought Pagey has cleaned up too but there's an interview with Plant where someone asks him why they hadn't reformed in the 90s after Page/Plant and he said "We all know Jimmy had his..er..problems..but he cleaned up about 2000".

Always preferred Song remains the same dvd - his playing is incredible especially since I've been loving you - I think that's my fave version of it ever. Didn't realise for years that they're all miming on song remains the same tho - they filmed it at shepperton and throw in audience shots from the gig to make you think it's live.
 
Yeah, he had problems with booze (and cocaine I think?) for quite some time after but if we can trust him, he definitely said he got off smack about 82-83. But yeah who knows really...it's good to see him in better shape today at least.

And yeah agreed, that version of Since I've Been Loving You is quite literally my favorite song ever. It's a good version of No Quarter as well I think. Aren't they're only miming some of the songs? It was something about Page & Jones having cut their hair since the concert or something haha.
The 1975 Earls Court concert is really fantastic as well IMO.
 
I don't even want to think about that, I've had so many chances handed to me on a silver plate and proceded to fuck up each and anyone of them, seriously I had so many opportunities and messed up so many times, I know I shouldn't say this but really it would be better for everybody around me if I were to cease to exist.
 
You give me something to read on a regular basis, that must count for something. And I bet you're quite noisy in real life too.

Hi!

What's your thing you'd like to do differently if you had a time machine?

A very interesting thread, Survival0200, lots of food for thoughts <3

i haven't got a clue how i got to where i am now.
I'd change loads of things. Like loads.
But then, I wouldn't have my son, I wouldn't be who/what/where I am now.
So I don't know as changing things would be a good move, or a bad one.

Got to agree with MM and Bogman on this. You just don't know what turn things would have taken.

I should've studied well, and apply to med school. Now I'm depressed cause my peers are becoming doctors, and I'm nothing. :(

As a person you are much more than a formal title, surely? I know it's not easy but I hope you don't dwell too much on what you should/could/would have done in the past; guilt and regret are crippling emotion, beyond their function of helping to avoid to repeat mistakes (they don't always work, mind!).

Also, maybe you should try to focus more on what and where you are now, not on what and where your friends are? Changing the past is not possible, while living the present the best you can and working toward your future is possible.
I hope I don't sound too phoney or blue-sky thinking mate, I'm sorry to hear that you depressed :)

As in go back to when you were younger but retaining your current knowledge?
I'd put money in to Apple and Google.

I know, lol, buying $10,000 Apple shares for $1 each at the end of the '90s would have left you with $7,000,000 if you sold a couple of years ago, crazy 8o

I wish I bought more of the "lucky charms" cereal before it got withdrawn. And Choco rocks was one of my favourite too, and I don't think they still do them. It was choco-licious. Just wish I stocked up on these before my Tescos stopped selling them.

I missed episode 248 in season 43 of Emmerdale also, because I was out watering my Mothers dry flowers. I kick myself every day because of this. One of the villagers was murdered and I missed it all unravel. I'll never forgive myself for this. What a cunt I am.

Well for sure I would have gone to more GRATEFULD DEAD SHOWS and would have started going sooner than that. Otherwise there isnt too much i would change, one thing would affect another and i am not sure i would have had the experiences i have had. Like would it have been possinle to stop two suicides which severly affected my life? Sure, but then they would have maybe happened at some other time, so it is what it is, life....eh. Only halfway there, to the end that is. Keep on truckin:-)
 
Assassinate Larry. F Levamisole and Benjamin. B. Benzocaine.

And probably Johnathon Breadflour too for extra safety.
Oh, & and Sir Alan sugar and Peter paracetamol, Manuel Mannitol, Levis Lactose (and a few others).

The world would change for a much, much different place.
 
^ =D

That aside, am mostly in the "wouldn't change a thing cos if i did i would not be me" camp. But I do sometimes wonder what could've happened if everything hadn't suddenly gone tits up and heroin was the only way to get through. I coulda been a contender and all that. But honestly don't think I'd necessarily be any happier if things had gone differently.

I definitely agree on the seeing more bands and stuff though. It's so easy to just let that kinda stuff slide and really regret it later. You just never know what you had until it's gone.
 
I would have capitalised more on my good looks and charisma, which, apparently I was full of when I was in my teens and twenties...
Being too busy partying to realise that many more chicks were drooling for us three bad heads, meant I missed out on more casual relationships than I knew I could have had, maybe even a few more longer termed ones.
However, it always seemed that by the end of the night, which was often the next day, all the available females were off already, humping in a swag with blokes who were more focused on scoring a root than getting vegemite toasted.
It was only when I went back to my home town ten years later, with a wife, that I heard that us 3 blokes were hot property.
If this sounds like I am blowing smoke up my own arse, so be it, I am just saying it as it appears to me.

That said, if I had of been a "stud/male slut" I probably would have fallen into the category of "easy" and therefore not seen as so desirable.

However, I have a son who is so much like me that its stupid, he also lacks the confidence to be bold to women, and I tell him what I have written here.
On a side note... Two nights ago, I brought home a lovely young lady from the pub, thinking I was doing fucken well, its a rareity for me, I am 48, she was 28, and just as rare, he was home and not skating with his mates.
She came in and started playing up to him!!! I watched with interest, and wandered out while they disappeared into his room and smoked a joint :0. I thought it was fucken hilarious, they emerged the next day...
I still don't know if he knows he was cutting my grass, or he thinks I brought him a present home from the pub
 
Get with a lot more girls when I was younger. Not give a shit about rejection. Not smoke so much weed. Not get addicted to heroin? Though I think that one was inevitable.

Bwaaahhahahahahahahhahahaaa!!! =D

And ya, I do kinda wish I could go back and tell my younger self to just fukkin chill and not get so het up about wimminz. That'd kinda defeat the purpose of being young and finding ll that stuff out for yerself though.
