LED ZEPPELIN Says No To Music Game Makers

LED ZEPPELIN's thundering riffs are among the most sought after by music game makers, but the group's guitarist, Jimmy Page, and his bandmates have repeatedly turned down offers from both Activision and MTV, says Peter Mensch, a partner at Q Prime Management, which manages Mr. Page, along with METALLICA and other acts.
