It's pretty useless as an instrument. Who finally thought "let's attach a keyboard to it?" It's fun, but you HAVE to have a really good ear for pitch. I love Page's approach. Run bloody echoplex on the thing and just have FUN with it. First saw him do this in "The Song Remains The Same" movie circa 73. Anyone who was trippin PROBABLY really enjoyed Jimmy's wizard-like control over the sound. It's called "SHOWMANSHIP". He was rarely standing still, Totally kicked ass on guitar. A ROCK STAR
For me, Page's theremin solo (with the unit running through two Meastro Echoplexes before sending the signal to the amps) was & is the most interesting and entertaining part of his performance. Between this, and his playing a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar with a violin bow, he sets himself well ahead of mainstream guitarists in concert. "Will the music be your master, will you heed the master's call?"
jimmy page was the man.. led zeppelin was one of the greatest / ONE of my alltime favorite bands..
but this is FAAAAR from the best theremin playing. if you'd take the time to watch other vids of ppl playing Theremin, you'd understand that Page was just on drugs making cool sounds.. lol
@Jagethemage Actually Page was off drugs around this point. Towards the end of Led Zeppelin's career all of them members had waned off of drug use and rarely used them. After Bonham died, they all took measures to stop. This is from Page and Plant, long after Led Zep had broken up.
Also: I am an avid fan of noise music(essentially what Page is using the theramin as) and I don't use drugs. He could just like making cool noises
@Grunge00125 people like to attribute Pageys sickly appearance in the early 80's to heroin , which I am certain he was using then , but I think his whiskey drinking was what really was tearing him down the worst. The booze every day will destroy ones health even faster than heroin , contrary to popular belief. He is still a drinker , but
Whoever entitled this video has clearly never heard of Mike DiPippo.
