In 2008, Steven Tyler spent a week playing with Jimmy Page when Page was thinking of playing some Led Zeppelin shows without frontman Robert Plant. If it made it to the point where Tyler was basically rehearsing with the band, what happened? According to Tyler, he was asked to play with them as “an audition to play with Zeppelin. We were going to do a couple of stadiums.”
He said Page also mentioned doing an album with Tyler, who says he thought about it for “a couple days” before telling Page no. “So, was I going to be in Jimmy’s band? No. But what an honor.”
