In other BCC news, Jason Bonham has revealed that the song, 'Save Me', was an aborted "new Led Zeppelin" song which was started when he was rehearsing and writing with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones following Zep's reunion show in 2007.

"The song, 'Save Me', on the album started with a riff from when I was working with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page after the Led Zeppelin reunion gigs. It was just this riff that had a Zeppelin feel to it. I have a version of that with Jimmy and John playing on it with me. That's all I ever had - this guitar riff. For me it was just a magical moment of "Jimmy page was playing this idea I had".

"When we got to do this project BCC I kinda played it briefly to the others for the first album but because of the timespan we had we didn't have the spectrum to do it.

"So on the new record Kevin said "let's finish off this song of Jason's"."
