Cincinnatus...you are so right. Page has always had so much emotional depth to his guitar work. He has always been the best in my humble opinion. I 'd rather hear heartfelt emotion than a meaningless flurry of shredded wheat. Page is a real musician. His feel for his art is incredible. Players like him can say more with two notes than the Ingvie Malmsteen's of the world can say with a thousand.
Oh, It's slop, but NOBODY pulls it off like Page. He gets inside of a song just like Hendrix did (only different.) Listening to Van Halen, in comparison, is like listening to plastic. Zzzzzzzzzz.
This is the sort of stuff I would have loved to hear from Led Zeppelin if they hadn't have lost Bonzo. This, Liquid Mercury and some of the stuff from Death Wish II.
Can anybody help me find the song Hummingbird? It's a great song but the only one i can find on youtube that isn't a cover of Jimmy'sversion is blocked!
@mulholland1985 it's a real woman i like to make her angry, then she looks sexy, i like when she beats me ahahaha, and oh, im a big led zeppelin fan and jimmy page is my fucking hero!
The amazing thing about Jimmy Page is that he can play with more emotion than anyone, and he can play faster than anyone, and even if someone can play with as much feeling or agility as him, no one can do it at the same time like he does.
I was at this concert and vividly remember him breaking a string not once but twice! bitched out his stagehand then calmly walked back to the middle of the stage and said, "do you mind if i start over?" Incredible show! How lucky were we in lowly Dayton Ohio to have Page swing by not only for his solo tour but also with The Firm. I think he loved playing Hara Arena because he could stay stoned for the whole concert without lighting up! The fams took care of that for him! Hara Arena Forever!
Personally my favourtie track of Outrider. I love JImmy, but still for my money the bes tof all time on an electric guitar is Jeff Beck. The fact that guys like Page, Clapton, Santana, Vai, Satriani, Blackmore, Gilmour, McCartney, Slash, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley, Buddy Guy, & Les Paul all have said it at one point or another is proof of that. Hell when Hendrix was asked to go to England his response was "Can you introduce me to Jeff Beck? " That should tell you something. & Beck is even better now
@zeppyfan1977 Well Like I said if the guys I mentioned don't convince you & don't know what will. Perhaps you alos don't have any realization that Beck always changes & doesn't rest on his laurels like unfortunatle y to say Page & Clapton do. They have stuck to what they do best while Beck has done rock, psychadelia, proto - heavy metal, Hard Rock, jazz fusion, electronica, classical influenced stuff. Yeah your right he sucks. Get a clue buddy!
@TNO73 , I certainly don't claim to be an expert on guitar playing and those guys you mentioned know alot more than I do. But I do play and have always listened hard . Jimmy Page is my favorite guitarist to listen to ( especially numbers like this one) , but I still believe Jeff Beck is the most versatile and gifted guitarist in the world . And Jimmy Page would say the same thing I'd bet.But Page is the best composer of guitar music that I know of and that may be even more impressive
@Tecumseh1812 Now I am not going to sit here & claim he is better or anything, but your post got me thinking & I have always thought it was odd that as far as Britain goes it has always been Clapton, Beck & Page. They have many other greats. Peter Green for instance. But one guy who I think has been consistantly & in my mind criminally overlooked as possibly one of the best of all time is Ritchie Blackmore. He could write good songs, was a great soloist, & the classical influence was cool.
Blackmore is phenomenal. Wonderful WONDERFUL guitarist and you are right, he's underrated more than pretty much any other big guitarist out of that age, but that's just because Deep Purple was, according to most of the world, a 2 hit wonder (Highway Star, Smoke on the Water), and not too many people hear of his Rainbow either. Still, all my life I've heard of the "big 3" in reference to Page, Clapton, and Beck. Page is my favorite of the three personally, but all these names are good.
@DelMarrrrr I feel sorry for those people who know Deep Purple from the FM radio . really missing out on some top notch rock music played by gifted musicians. It's sad that FM radio stopped playing album cuts
@ronimatos90 NOt according to the clip I have of Chaz Chandler. The guy that asked Hendrix to join him in england, The quote was something like What kind of amps to you have over there & can you intro me to Jeff Beck? Chandler said that was his response.I have it somewhere on video tape. It is ancient. regardless I have pleanty of other quotes from distinguished artist all Beck is the best. And we have both agreed that he is hte best alive anyway.
@TNO73 well i would like to watch that clip, the story i know is that Jimi went to Europe to meet Clapton and he joined Cream on stage. It was in 1966, Clapton was an ex-member of the Yardbirds and did record an album with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, album in part responsible for blues-rock genre definition and for Clapton's "God" title. Jeff Beck by that time was in the Yardbirds and kicking ass btw xD. Still possible you're right but i find more plausible he really went for Clapton.
Ok...It's enough with who's "the best" already. Truth be told, there's studio guys around who's name you'll never know, that are as good or better than any....and I mean any....of the favored top 10, or 15 players in the world. The fact is, good, is good no matter where, or who it's coming from, and "best" just puts a bull shit label on a piece of art that diminishes it to human level. Surly every "best" in anything is above mearly human. They should be allowed to stay there in peace.
Can you idiots stop bitching about who wrote what damn part. None of you know the truth because none of you were there. All we can do here is apreciate that the world of music and especially rock music owes a great debt to Jimmy page. Without him, there would be no heavey rock, or metal, or the watered down shit we know today as rock music. The man is one in a billion, an original, and the creator of the biggest band of all time.
@XboxNurdsUnite Bon Jovi have sold more records in more countrys than the Beatles. I think Zep are hands down a Bigger and better band than the Beatles, musician ship, songwriting, and the way they were the first english band to change the way listeners bought in to it. The Beatles were more about image, than sound, although they did however start the whole pop song thing, but maybe thats part of being in the right place at the right time in the beggining.
totally agree dude. I like some Beatles songs, but excuse me? Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, (I personally love Ramble on), Hendrix's Purple Haze, all better than any Beatles song I've heard.
@MichaelBallack91 The thing is that the beatles were just the top of what was yet to come, they made the revolutionizers, ask any history musician of popular music and they´ll absolutely bring out the beatles as one of the, if not THE, most important bands in popularmusic history. So no wonder that afterwards came many more masterpieces, but you cant deny the beauty of some of the beatles song. All the same I also absoultely adore All you mentioned with Led Zeppelin being my favouriteband cheers
@fable0709 well yea, not the guitar parts, Jonsey rarely made guitar parts. Black dog was all Jonsey, he made the basis of that song. Page and him jammed it out, jonsey helped him on the Time of the song and jimmy improvsed the parts, but really the guitar is mostly an octave over the bass anyway, its identical on a lot of parts
Well Black Dog had both a Page riff and a Jones riff... Jones riff is the main one and Page is the chrunchy chord one where Jimmy composed his solo over. Also all of Good Times Bad Times, the main riff of The Ocean, the keyboard riff of No Quarter, and everything of All Of My Love (incl. guitar) and etc. was composed by JPJ...
Jimmy Page did confirm that Black Dog was a riff written by Jones in an interview with Dave Schulps in 1977. Also, from Wikipedia:
"Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones, who is credited with writing the main riff, wanted to write a song that people could not "groove" or dance to with its winding riff and complex time signature changes."
True, Page produced the band's music, but he didn't compose all the music. Just a few examples, Jones developed the riffs for "Good Times Bad Times" and "Black Dog". And as was a common practice, writing credit often went to the two main members, Page and Plant. The "Jagger/Richards" and "McCartney/Lennon" songs were like that too; a couple were written by other band members, but credited to the two principle members.
Trampled Underfoot and No Quarter were also two other Jones songs.
Awesome concert in '88 Outrider tour Knight Center in Miami.....loud but didn't ring your ears after the show....Knight Center has lots of carpet on walls and floor, one of the best concerts I've seen... Jason on drums was spot on.... lives in Boca Raton down by me...... time flys.
Pagey was not the solo virtuoso that his fellow Beck and Clapton became...But He went down in Rock n Roll Notoriety!!! So Who Gives a Flying Fuck!?!? Blow it out Your Fuckin' Arse!!!!
not beck , not EC , certainly not Vai , or Pgilbert or Malmsteen . Page wrote music so brilliant that he was accused of consorting with the Devil to compose it . That is ridiculous , but in a way it is the ultimate compliment .
I love this song. But for some mysterious reason every time I hear it it remind's me of listening to Classical gas on the radio when I was a little kid .A masterpiece
Pagey may not be the most "technical" gutarist--his forte is translating his emotion and "soul" through his Les Paul; when it comes down to evoking something sublime or spiritual nobody comes close to Page.
Jimmy Page is a composer .He has more in common wth Mozart Or Beethoven than with other rockers.His tastes created an entirely new genre of music in the world.
Each guitarist meant something special - I enjoyed what Richie Blackmore once told me, " Jimmy Page "looks" like the greatest guitar player in the world."
I was at this very show!!! I can remember being in total awe of Page. This was the second time that I saw him perform, the first being with The Firm in '85 in Cincy. I can remember also, the pot smoke was so thick in that arena, you could cut it with a knife.
i've seen many axe men in my day - Vaughn, Hedges, DiMeola, Halen, Lifeson, Gilmour, Satriani, Vai, Frampton, to name a few - and not one of them could let the notes drip out of their guitars as lyrically as Jimmy can.
pretty damn amazing.
i wish i could have let his mouth juice drizzle a bit on me!
You know nothing of guitar if you say Stevie Ray Vaughan is less than page.... just listen to stuff like riviera paradise, especially from the live in austin... I won´t even get into a discussion about lifeson with you.... he is GOD on guitar - underrated as hell.
Gilmour is my hero, he is the reason I picked up the axe!!!
And lets not forget about Hendrix ;)
This is a great tune by the way... love his solo stuff
Haha..ease up on poor squeedum Shaman "down girl, DOWN!" - hehehe
All his comments are PRO Page...just 1word inadvertantly tripped us up, and got his message obscured in the translation.
Hey, I don't think anyone can say that they're
"The GREATEST fan" of anything. The subject is completely subjective, AND utterly unquantifiable. HOWEVER, I personally can say that, having SAID that...there certainly cannot be much BETTER fans of Page than I am...but I STILL DON'T want his SPIT on me! haha!
Sweet, wonderful, brilliant Jimmy. How can you not love this man? Squeezedu, you're so lucky; what I wouldn't give to have seen him. God, I hope he tours. Jimmy, if you're out there, we'd love to see you.
i saw this tour! jimmy was a sloppy, sweaty drooling mess. he actually paused to apologize to an audience member for drooling/spitting on him. no lie.
in other words, he was fucking brilliant!! so much emotion oozing out of every note he plays.
or are you observing how AWESOME it is to see how a filthy rich, sophisticated, art collecting, English Nobleman...absolutely throws down and leaves it ALL onstage? Because regarding his playing, if you did see Pagey in 88..you saw a healthy JP who's playing was consistantly in fine form. yea?
Jimmy Page's drooling was and still is a well known idiosyncrasy of his onstage persona. i have yet to see concert footage that doesn't feature this behavior.
as to his playing, he is sloppy. i've read interviews of him where he fully realizes and admits this.
but that said, i would absolutely prefer an emotion-ridden, oozing-with-feeling guitar phrase by Jimmy over a 1000-note-per second, techinically perfect guitar solo from any other yngwiee fucksteen, any day of the week.
Page is known to be a so called "sloppy" guitarist. Page has various levels of "sloppy" in compared to his own standards' in that regard. HOWEVER..BEFORE...heroin...he was only known to play "CHOPPY". Choppy became exasperated by a debilitating drug addiction. '77 US Tour was sloppy (although many brilliant moments), Knebworth was sloppy. Europe 80 warm up tour was sloppy (albeit less sloppy than Kneb) .ARMS '83 was (SUPER) sloppy, Page in The Firm was sloppy. Live Aid was super sloppy....
(cont...) Atlantic40th Anniversary -sloppy...in short..the H years were sloppy. If you think that Page is playing sloppy in 88, particularily in THIS video, then you and I will have to agree to disagree. This is about as "clean" (less choppy) as Page has played since 73 - 75. (his cleanest / fastest being '72 and previous) 88, 94(No Quarter Tour), 96..Page was plating as brilliantly "less choppy" as he ever had since he was 31 years old. I've been playing Page for 20 years.I know the difference
i never once hinted that Jimmy Page was a technically unsound guitarist. in fact, his rhythm guitar playing is completely and always on point as is his finger-picking style.
you talk about different shades of "sloppiness and choppiness". but it's that definitively sloppy technique that makes JP's style so singular and distinct. NO ONE can turn a phrase like Jimmy still can.
and when i saw him in '88 he was sweating, drooling, sloppy mess.
what i meant was that his onstage presence was sloppy.
i mean, for jeebus' sake, he literally sprayed his drool onto the 1st row!! at one point he walked to the edge of the stage and apologized to the audience for showering them with his royal saliva.
his PLAYING, however, was as stylistically nuanced as it has ever been.
hey man..no arguements from me, amigo...you and I are just exchanging friendly perspectives..and from the SAME side of the fence, too. Not only was I totally down with; but I also thought; the Fuckstein comment was pretty damn funny. "Help me, JEEBUS !"
(harhar) I was just looking for clarification on the intended context of "sloppy". ('cause I didn't know to what you wanted it to pertain to. It's ALL good, amigo. (there is a few vids of me playin Page if you ever have nothing better to do)
This song is so beautiful. Thank you for posting. Does anyone know what happened to the live footage of this song? Watching Jimmy play with his guitar moves was an emotional experience. Where'd it go? Did the video police come along? Soooo sad.
this is a sad song i think.... but again it must be deficult to come out of something as big as led zeppelin, and then write new stuff, and not feel kinda weird about it, not because it's bad... just think my self , that it's weird to hear both jimmy and robert on their solo albums
Jimmy IS Led Zeppelin!!!

Awesome concert in '88 Outrider tour Knight Center in Miami.....loud but didn't ring your ears after the show....Knight Center has lots of carpet on walls and floor, one of the best concerts I've seen... Jason on drums was spot on.... lives in Boca Raton down by me...... time flys.

not beck , not EC , certainly not Vai , or Pgilbert or Malmsteen . Page wrote music so brilliant that he was accused of consorting with the Devil to compose it . That is ridiculous , but in a way it is the ultimate compliment .

Pagey may not be the most "technical" gutarist--his forte is translating his emotion and "soul" through his Les Paul; when it comes down to evoking something sublime or spiritual nobody comes close to Page.

again, people are getting into tiffs as to which of their favorite guitarists are the better than somebody else's favorite guitarists.

btw, tseekr379, i'm 100% in agreement with you. Lifeson is music's most underrated guitarist. Gilmour is my most beloved soloist.

I was at this very show!!! I can remember being in total awe of Page. This was the second time that I saw him perform, the first being with The Firm in '85 in Cincy. I can remember also, the pot smoke was so thick in that arena, you could cut it with a knife.

i am, absotively, a Jimmy fan.
i've seen many axe men in my day - Vaughn, Hedges, DiMeola, Halen, Lifeson, Gilmour, Satriani, Vai, Frampton, to name a few - and not one of them could let the notes drip out of their guitars as lyrically as Jimmy can.
pretty damn amazing.
i wish i could have let his mouth juice drizzle a bit on me!
squeedum 3 years ago
You know nothing of guitar if you say Stevie Ray Vaughan is less than page.... just listen to stuff like riviera paradise, especially from the live in austin... I won´t even get into a discussion about lifeson with you.... he is GOD on guitar - underrated as hell.
Gilmour is my hero, he is the reason I picked up the axe!!!
And lets not forget about Hendrix ;)
This is a great tune by the way... love his solo stuff

All his comments are PRO Page...just 1word inadvertantly tripped us up, and got his message obscured in the translation.
Hey, I don't think anyone can say that they're
"The GREATEST fan" of anything. The subject is completely subjective, AND utterly unquantifiable. HOWEVER, I personally can say that, having SAID that...there certainly cannot be much BETTER fans of Page than I am...but I STILL DON'T want his SPIT on me! haha!

I have followed Jimmy Page since Yardbird days..
I was a little girl.very young.I loced music.
fortunately for me my aunt.(who brought me up).introduced me to the greatest art.and music....
I was mesmerized by Jimmy Page.
his guitar...HIM..the british invasion...
I have been ZE FA..for decades..
his drooling and sloppiness.are Jimmy.
Yes.his debiltating.H yrs.and depression over bonham.made him and his play a mess.
but it is what it is...
HE IS THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD....

i saw this tour! jimmy was a sloppy, sweaty drooling mess. he actually paused to apologize to an audience member for drooling/spitting on him. no lie.
in other words, he was fucking brilliant!! so much emotion oozing out of every note he plays.
squeedum 3 years ago
sloppy? are you referring to his playing in 88?
or are you observing how AWESOME it is to see how a filthy rich, sophisticated, art collecting, English Nobleman...absolutely throws down and leaves it ALL onstage? Because regarding his playing, if you did see Pagey in 88..you saw a healthy JP who's playing was consistantly in fine form. yea?
ShaemusTOFinnigan 3 years ago
Jimmy Page's drooling was and still is a well known idiosyncrasy of his onstage persona. i have yet to see concert footage that doesn't feature this behavior.
as to his playing, he is sloppy. i've read interviews of him where he fully realizes and admits this.
but that said, i would absolutely prefer an emotion-ridden, oozing-with-feeling guitar phrase by Jimmy over a 1000-note-per second, techinically perfect guitar solo from any other yngwiee fucksteen, any day of the week.

Page is known to be a so called "sloppy" guitarist. Page has various levels of "sloppy" in compared to his own standards' in that regard. HOWEVER..BEFORE...heroin...he was only known to play "CHOPPY". Choppy became exasperated by a debilitating drug addiction. '77 US Tour was sloppy (although many brilliant moments), Knebworth was sloppy. Europe 80 warm up tour was sloppy (albeit less sloppy than Kneb) .ARMS '83 was (SUPER) sloppy, Page in The Firm was sloppy. Live Aid was super sloppy....
ShaemusTOFinnigan 3 years ago
(cont...) Atlantic40th Anniversary -sloppy...in short..the H years were sloppy. If you think that Page is playing sloppy in 88, particularily in THIS video, then you and I will have to agree to disagree. This is about as "clean" (less choppy) as Page has played since 73 - 75. (his cleanest / fastest being '72 and previous) 88, 94(No Quarter Tour), 96..Page was plating as brilliantly "less choppy" as he ever had since he was 31 years old. I've been playing Page for 20 years.I know the difference
ShaemusTOFinnigan 3 years ago
i'm not sure what we're arguing about here.
i never once hinted that Jimmy Page was a technically unsound guitarist. in fact, his rhythm guitar playing is completely and always on point as is his finger-picking style.
you talk about different shades of "sloppiness and choppiness". but it's that definitively sloppy technique that makes JP's style so singular and distinct. NO ONE can turn a phrase like Jimmy still can.
and when i saw him in '88 he was sweating, drooling, sloppy mess.
squeedum 3 years ago
what i meant was that his onstage presence was sloppy.
i mean, for jeebus' sake, he literally sprayed his drool onto the 1st row!! at one point he walked to the edge of the stage and apologized to the audience for showering them with his royal saliva.
his PLAYING, however, was as stylistically nuanced as it has ever been.

hey man..no arguements from me, amigo...you and I are just exchanging friendly perspectives..and from the SAME side of the fence, too. Not only was I totally down with; but I also thought; the Fuckstein comment was pretty damn funny. "Help me, JEEBUS !"
(harhar) I was just looking for clarification on the intended context of "sloppy". ('cause I didn't know to what you wanted it to pertain to. It's ALL good, amigo. (there is a few vids of me playin Page if you ever have nothing better to do)
