Nah...


Apparently while in Seatle on tour they were staying near the warf and somebody in the entourage managed to talk a groupie into stuffing a mud shark in her. They asked Robert Plant just recently about this on VH1 Classic and he said "I don't remember, but thats not to say it isn't true".

nod It's always a debate about whether it was a mudshark or a red snapper. lol Robert once also said that the band members all had their wives in the room as well (except for Jimmy Page), and they all watched. lol Apparently the girl loved it. Although she's never come forward to admit to this ever happening. I don't think anyone WOULD. falloff

Do they have like crazy amazing groupie stories or something? hmmm

Yes. razz Interesting stories (well, more like urban legends actually lol ) about a groupie and a fish, groupies with an octopus in a tub, donuts being stuffed in odd places, Jimmy and his whips and weird rituals, girls who were 12 and 13, John Bonham taking a shit in a Japanese groupie's purse, the band sitting at a table and people could clearly see four pairs of girls legs under the table giving them head in a public restaurant, etc. lol



Like I said, it fascinates me. lurking

I'm not a Johnny Cash fan at all, know nothing about his music. Just watched the movie - it was cool, though the ending left me a little shrug And I didn't really feel like I was taken on a journey with him, things just happened - he made a record, went on tour, became the headliner, etc. The only excitement I saw was the record being made & the one phone call to the wife from the tour. I dunno, maybe it needed a better director (who directed this??) - you could see things coming a mile away, predictability (even in a biopic) always blows. Some directors can craft things in such a way that they seem fresh even when they're not...

Anyway, for those who are into Johnny Cash at all - how did Joaqin do portraying him? His mannerisms & things... I like that he sang himself in some early scenes but I wonder if they should have just dubbed it - I wouldn't have believed he could get a record deal based on what they did in that audition hmmm But I do like see Joaquin play "tortured", he's so good @ it.

Did they really get engaged like that (on stage)?? biggrin

And didn't Reese win an Oscar for this role? Can anyone tell me why?? confused Maybe they just liked her singing?? shrug She was good, but an Oscar? Really? hmm

I know I'm 2 years late, just wasn't in a hurry to see it. Any thoughts are appreciated smile

Good movie...

I was asking the same things few weeks ago when I had to write a review about it. lol
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really donĀ“t like the idea that he could have it all."

That's one of my favorite stories actually. falloff The story goes that Jimmy Page had a Japanese girl on their jet during one of their tours of Japan and was with her in the bedroom.

John Bonham (who really was crazy lol ) crapped in her purse that she had left somewhere else on the plane. She discovered it and started crying hysterically. lol Bonham said, "She's too nice for Jimmy." and he did it because he wanted to shake her up. I guess it worked. falloff Apparently Page got REALLY angry with Bonham for doing that though.
