When his behaviour got particularly uncontrollable, she added, the band's tour manager would take him back to his hotel room and chain him to the toilet - with a groupie, if it was his lucky day - until it was time to move on.

Very interesting article!

Chaim pretty much paraphrased from this paragraph:
Quote
By his own admission, he wasn't around much for his eldest daughter, Scarlet, because he had other things on his mind in the early Seventies - chiefly a mission to explore the very essence of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Page embraced the lifestyle with particular enthusiasm. Led Zep's favourite groupie, Pamela Des Barres, thoughtfully chronicled some of the highlights in her book Rock Bottom, a compelling compendium of true-life sexual perversion, drugs and violence. She revealed, for example, that Page enjoyed dressing up in Nazi uniform  and visiting transvestite clubs in each city Led Zeppelin played, taking drugs with drag queens in the toilets. When his behaviour got particularly uncontrollable, she added, the band's tour manager would take him back to his hotel room and chain him to the toilet - with a groupie, if it was his lucky day - until it was time to move on.

To be honest I don't think Jimmy Page's sick fetish for Nazi uniforms and trannies necessarily means he's a Nazi or a Jew hater, but for sure he's a [censored].

You know something, David Bowie once or twice gave a nazi salute when he was high on drugs.

It may have had more to do with the drugs and general degenerate rock culture than any true Nazi feelings, but it's still not excusable either. I mean at some point you have to choose to put that particular costume on, rather than another, so I think he was still responsible for his actions.
