Jimmy Page - Liquid Mercury

[petrologyboy]

Still my alltime favorite recording of my alltime favorite guitarist.  On top of all the other beauty in the song, that solo that hits at 1:55....YEAH BABY!

[jamirosmajicrocks]

welcome to the 80s , poor artist they thought the 70s were going on like thst but instead it fucked up 70% of all are beloved artist.

[woingenau300]

I like this melodic thing, but i think, the guitar on outrider hasn't got this feeling it had on led zeppelin's albums :/

the guitar isn't screaming

[GuitarRoast]

@woingenau300

well doesn't that make sense though? When Page was with Led Zeppelin, that, I'm sure, was the BEST

years of his life, and certainly, they made the BEST rock music in history back then that has transcended through time and I think is still the best! You gotta remember what made Led Zeppelin so great to begin with:

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and, last but most certainly not least, ROCK'S GREATEST drummer, John Henry Bonham!

@woingenau300 Compared to the top shelf zeppelin, maybe Outrider is lacking, but compared to the weak lemonade of The Firm and Roy Harper collaborations circa mid 80's, Outrider is an oasis in the desert for this listener. Some of the vocals are a bit irritating, but the guitar work is great. I've always wondered how much of the stuff may have been leftovers from previous years, maybe even back to the In Through The Outdoor sessions. Anyone know?

[Luxmaxnike]

@z4ph0de could do a video of the song with robert plant(The Only One)?

[z4yph0de]

@Luxmaxnike sure, I'll let you know when I get a chance to put it up :)

[Luxmaxnike]

@z4yph0de thanks :)

[Luxmaxnike]

@z4yph0de do you have the album?

[Stickyforkstheband]

Jimmy page is the only one who can make awesome offbeat-songs!

[Turybegood]

@Stickyforkstheband you are right on your statement those offbeats belong to the one and only JIMMY PAGE

[championofhardrock]

how to play the riff ? its just an G chord whit some tricks around it ,, right?

[championofhardrock]

i love it.

[kejtprzezj]

Jimmy is a God

[hellsbells3084]

All you guitarists if you ever want to listen and learn how to play this is the album.

[Tecumseh1812]

you could be not nearly as good as Bonzo and still be pretty damned good

[manferot]

Ex-Tull Barriemore Barlow plays drums in this track

[tonylee1973]

SWEEEETTTTTTT!!!

[Jameson10314]

How come Sir James Patrick Page is not knighted for his musicianship? He was granted knighthood for his work with disadvantaged Brazilian youth. Arguably he is one of the greatest musicians born in the UK.

[katford7286]

@Jameson10314 He wasn't knighted, he's an OBE (Officer of the British Empire)

[magnum9987]

@Jameson10314 Anyone who was surrounded as he was with occult matters could never get knighted

[Jameson10314]

In answer to heavybigot that is Jason Bonham the son of the great John Bonham on drums. I personally think he can't hold a candle to his dad..

[migu9999]

jason bonham on drums , el hijo de bonzo...

[petrologyboy]

Definitely my favorite Jimmy Page song! The guitar layers are as glorious as ever, and the lead loud soloing menacing guitar just wipes me out.

[smithdsmit]

sounds ok but the drums sure sound week

[Heavybigot]

who play the drums?

[z4yph0de]

barriemore barlow, i think! according to wikipedia he was in jethro tull

[beeterolds]

@z4yph0de Actually Jason Bonham did most of the drums on outrider

[camelandu2]

@beeterolds Yes, Jason Bonham did MOST of the drumming on this album, but Barriemore Barlow plays the drums on two tracks: Liquid Mercury and Emerald Eyes (according to Wikipedia anyway). Barrie is an outstanding drummer, you should check out some of his work with Jethro Tull.

[MrRalphGraham]

@Heavybigot Jason Bonham

[EdBraski0977]

@MrRalphGraham Bonham only played drums on one track--The Only One

[MrRalphGraham]

@Heavybigot

[MrPageyzoso]

@Heavybigot Jason played drums on everything when they toured, but on the album, there were others not just Jason

[rickyodom]

@Heavybigot jason bonham,last time i check.

[Tecumseh1812]

@rickyodom Jason Bonham did not play on the record, he was the drummer on the Outrider tour

[Sandwitchloord]

My favorite song from this album

[LedZeppRox13]

@Sandwitchloord me too. i love this song.
