Update: No Supergroup... Jimmy Page Was Just Name-Dropping...

Yesterday’s LedZeppelinNews.com post relating to a possible project with Jimmy Page was unfounded, the result of a misinterpretation. Kevin Shirley has clarified that the list of guitarists he has recorded—Page, Clapton, Perry, Whitford, the three amigos of Iron Maiden, and all the rest—is a record of his lifetime achievement, not a list of people he has had in the studio recently, especially not together (imagine that many guitarists plugged in, outside of a jam at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony).

MusicRadar:

Are Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, along with Joe Perry and Brad Whitford of Aerosmith planning some sort of guitar army supergroup? According to engineer Kevin Shirley, something along those lines is in the works.

Writing in his blog, Shirley said that Page and Clapton have joined Perry and Whitford in a recording studio and that he has been working with these guitarists and “many others.”
