Get invited by Jimmy Page to go to a tribute lunch at the very posh Savoy hotel. I'm his guest and bodyguard (ha,ha). The lunch is for Jim Marshall, amp maker to the stars, well you know if you don't use one of his amps you must be on planet Mars. We expected it to be a rock'n roll party. We couldn't have been more wrong. It's a who's who of the British variety club and T.V. I'm probably the youngest there, even Jimmy seems young and he's 60...... We sit at a table with Paul Daniels and his wife Debbie (both are very very very nice) and Paul is very funny.

Also at the table are Nicholas Parsons and Dame Vera Lynn (who tried to get Jimmy evicted from Plumpton when he lived there, she claimed he was bad for the village). He introduces himself as her former neighbour. Bert Weedon is introduced, he must be about a hundred and 80 (actually he's 83).If you are not English, you won't have any idea who he is and I'm not gonna explain. Get a picture of Jimmy and Jim, strangely they've never met before. Nicko, from Maiden is also here.

January 16th

Slash, Munky, Daron Malakian, Dean DeLeo, John Frusciante, Tom Morello all turn up at 6pm to do my idea (well, Brad Tolinski's as well) of the ultimate guitarists.

Just as we get everyone lined up with Jimmy and Joe, I hear a motorbike revving up outside... Zakk Wylde has arrived! He wants to ride his bike into the studio...  Wilf Wright manages to persuade him not to ... Zakk walks in, and is... how can I put it?... is Zakk.

Jimmy, Slash, Wilf and I escape from Zakk to the House Of Blues, meet up with Joe and his bodyguard "Rock'n Roll John Bionelli" to see the godfather of soul James Brown (he is amazing).

I've never seen him before. He's 70 years old. Go backstage to say hello. Everyone is calling each other by there surnames e.g: Mr. Brown, Mr. Page, Mr. Perry... Get a quick snap of everyone together. We all walk back to the hotel along Fountain. It's funny watching people's faces when they realise who is walking along the street.
