Paolo Nutini Wants To Record A Led Zeppelin Album
Then buzz it up

Paolo Nutini has said he wants Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to produce his next album. Also, Rhydian has said he wants Bob Dylan to produce his first album, and The Krankies are in talks with Keith Richards.
Of course, that last one isn’t true. Not in your wildest dreams is that true. Neither is the Rhydian one. But the Paolo Nutini one is true and on the cards!
As everyone in the universe knows by now, Led Zeppelin have returned to rave reviews, one and all declaring ‘they still got it’, but do they? Do they? The seminal band, famous for writing songs that float complex metaphors over a sea of musical depth and intelligence - often listed as the greatest band of all time – actually allowed the empty vessel that is Paulo Nutini, famous for his stupid pretty face spurting out lyrics that contain the emotional depth of a ten-year-old, to support them in their recent comeback gig.
Nutini said:
"You have all these people on your wish-list, and Jimmy Page is definitely on mine, getting someone that’s enthusiastic about your music is the main thing. It’s better to have someone like that produce your record than the trendy hitmakers."
Yeah, it’s better to have Jimmy do it than someone like you, eh Paolo?
Like most of us, we haven’t yet heard Zeppelin’s new stuff, but judging by their new mindset, Page and Plant probably should have decided, back in the day, to join Hendrix and Cobain in the 27 club.

Nothing like poking a knife in from behind a screen, How big of you

i tried to arrange a duel with him at sunrise tomorrow, but he was too busy wallowing about being 18 and that his girlfriend thought that was too young. i’ll take the screen down next time, walk right infront of his face, and knife him that way, to satisfy you.

you are all assholes

Paolo isnt 18. Try getting your facts straight first.

cheers bob for that constructive criticism there. I’ll think about it and try to adapt. although, if you could please specify exactly who you’re referring to, cos it kind of seems you’re referring to myself and paula, which is quite uncomfortable for me, as people get united by sharing enemies, in this case you, and i’m quite happy having nothing in common with paula.

My Dearest Paul,
Oh yes i’m back. I’m starting to get you now.
If Paolo is good enough for Ahmet Ertegun, Paul Weller, The Rolling Stones, Ben E. King,
Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, Bill Wyman (on Bass for the gig) & Iggy Pop refers to Paolo as ‘The Kid with the Voice’ then theres surely something there regardless of our individual musical tastes.
Your loving enemy
Paula

I heard about Paul Weller saying he liked him. That did make me cry for a couple of days too. It’s a formidable list you present, and really highlights the negative side of dementia. It’s not all crazy rambling about the old days and handing out sweets. Read the other day that Brett Easton Ellis loves Keane. You can’t trust these post-primers. What was the last valuable offering from any of them? I’m sorry but the boy gives us half-wops a bad name. But you’re right, there’s something there, regardless of our individual music tastes. You’re having an effect on me, Paula. Fancy a frottage?

Hmmm, get a room if you gonna have outercourse will you? Anyway, surely the issue here is you are an older guy, with a frustrated singer dying to get out, who is just a tad jealous of the wee barra’s success? As for all the professional musicians, well they must be tone deaf, is that it? Hahaha.

Oh and mind you, I did think to myself that it was an incongrous pairing to say the least. Why are the dinosaurs who are Led Zep taking such an interest in the guy? They must feel all paternal towards him, or is it to raise their own profile now that they are back from the dead?

Can I have a strawberry one please, half milk & no ice.

I find it difficult to believe that anyone who has heard Paolo Nutini sing can describe him as empty. He is a HUGE talent and captures the imagination of thousands of people. What is wrong with him being “pretty” as well as talented. All the better to please all the senses. As for saying he has the emotional depth of a 10 year old, heckler spray staff have obviously no understanding at all. He moves people deeply with his beautiful soulful and emotional voice and songs which is a very rare talent for such a young man.

My ass sings better than Led Zeppelin and when it does, it doesn’t last as long but smells just as strongly. That’s efficiency!
Some people get famous for nothing. Omg, Led Zeppelin invented the metaphor, the greatest songs about anal sex and the :45 guitar-solo-followed-by-the-2-hour-drummer-caniption combination attack. *emergency dialing Hall of Fame*
Stairway To Heaven sucks the scales off fish. If I were a hobbit sitting on a rock at night listening to that shite I’d eat my fist.

I knew this was written by a man…jealousy rearing its ugly head again.
