“I consider us to be one of the first Internet-based bands, especially because we basically started our entire band via the Internet. Before MySpace Music even existed, we had a band MySpace page. We were one of the first fifty bands on PureVolume(.com), and we really built everything from the Internet. That's how we started talking to record labels, that's how we booked our first tours. Without the Internet social networking, like Twitter, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. It is a huge part of the band.” FirstsTodaySocialTalkingRecordsHugeInternetBandPagesBuiltLabelsFiftyNetworkingSocial NetworkingSocial NetworkRecord Labels Author:Jack Barakat

“There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever. If anything ever happened and somebody left - which I really can't see happening - I don't think we'd bother to carry on. The magic for me is as it is now.” IfsThinkingLongLeftForeverHappenedMagicBandPagesHappeningsPlantNostalgiaBotherJimmyZeppelinsJohn Paul Author:Jimmy Page
“Yes, anyone can log onto your "anonymous" band's MySpace page and hear the music. So, in theory you have gotten your music in front of 5 billion people. The other thing is that something has to cause them to go to those bands MySpace page, and it's that reliance on taste makers or radio, that is still very much a part of how music is sold and marketed.” PeopleStillsCausesFrontsTheoryTasteBandMusic IsPagesRadioBillionsMakersReliance Author:Chris Cain
