[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4816409, member: 18222"] [B]Did Jimmy Page and Robert Plant get along?[/B] At the start they were very good friends who were drawn together by their love of blues and folk music. Robert was very deferential and in awe of Page who was already a well established star, rich and worldly wise. However, the cracks began to show as Plant became more and more famous and his confidence grew.
