  • Page. 'Achilles Last Stand'. Enough said.

  • The good thing about traveling about with 'em isn't what most would expect for one to say.

  • In a word: authentic.

  • OMG...Let him go. He's suffocating there because of the heat...awww.

  • 123,666 views ...woe to you ....the devil sends the beast with wrath ..cos times short for us assholes down here on ze earth ...what a bunch of pricks we are !

  • BEING inducted in the rock n rocll hall of fame by jimmy page. CAN ANYBODY ASK FOR ANY BETTER? INCLUDING JEFF... lucky lucky

  • He means Wallington not Wallingford.

  • Jimmy Page ruined the Yardbirds in my opinion.

  • @Staticnz How?

  • @kildare97 by being kinda sucky.

  • @Staticnz LOL

  • @Staticnz LOL ..Yeah he sure did,...The rest of the band just had no input..Jimmy did it all ..he's such a let down...LOL...Your funny...If Jimmy was the bad one...How come he's in the Hall of Fame Twice...?.

  • @frostbitewinterwind I don't know about any of that, just that his playing is a bit shabby compared to Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, Peter Green, Hendrix, etcetera. I just think out of many of the great guitarists I've heard he comes in last for his tone, technique, melodicism, and especially his solos which are mostly awful.

    He does have a few good riffs and a few good solos, so he isn't like the worst ever, just not in the same league as many others.

  • @Staticnz That is so wrong. Jimmy Page has FANTASTIC tone, however folks running sound in the 70's were not equipped to handle the sonic requirements of Zep & for that reason tone suffered live quite a bit.

    As for shabby playing, also not true: yes, Page always reached beyond "comfort zone" live, that is why he is considered one of the most innovative rock guitarists of all time... but rest assured he can play very cleanly when it is called for - that is why he was so in demand for sessions

  • @Staticnz the Yardbirds were burnt out and overwith when Beck quit . Page 's Yardbirds were basically an infant Led Zeppellin and Little Games was def a departure from the blues standards

  • He looks like Mozart: all is said!

  • I always thought he is the coolest guy in the world since the 1970's and that was the best time for music and entertainment and people were nicer back then. what do you think

  • Reportedly Jimmy's mother is 1/4 Chinese. So, yes if that is true, he would be 1/8 Chinese.

  • Yes he is such a lovely gentleman. In the special features of the "It Might Get Loud" DVD, he spoke of how much longer it took back then when he was learning guitar as compared with nowadays. Edge said with a smile, "So you were a slow learner?" Jimmy said "Yes, and I was a slow learner in life as well" and laughed. He may have been a slow learner in life, but he sure has it down pat now!! What a beautiful man.

  • So dantean which 50s blues song did zeppelin rip off for stairway to heaven, going to california, thank you, kashmir( i would actually like to hear a blues version) etc etc

    Your talking about a select few songs like heartbreaker, one whole lotta love. Willie Nelson is credited on the album (well after some legal action). They did go on for 12 years and if you think the some of Led Zeppelins catalogue comes from 2 albums your sadly blinkered. Oh and you are also a racist twat :)

  • @666jamiejay666 ....Hey Devil Boy: You're thinking of Willie Dixon. Willie Nelson supplied the pot for the album sessions. Close, but no spleef.

  • Who cares... Jimmy reworked and rewrote mediocre old songs and made them better. He is brillant and the best guitarist ever!

  • "Just stick with it" is pretty facile advice coming from a guy successfully sued more than once by guys (sorry, I meant niggers) by 50s Chicago blues artists like Willie Dixon for stealing their shit and repackaging it for half-wits from the suburbs who would never know the difference. This, of course, unless what he really meant was, "just keep aping the nigger music until white radio catches on. THAT'S how you make the Hall." That I agree with. Rock on, Jimmy!

  • @dantean take your meds . It'll be OK

  • @dantean and jimmy did it better than any negroe could have hoped to

  • @dantean take your meds you raving idiot .

  • Kiddies , Page admits to using Jeff Beck Group & the Truth album as the blueprint for Led Zep.

  • Jimmy is older then Jeff. xD

  • Jimmy Page is the best in my eyes, he has aged nicely and is such a classy guy. The best guitarist ever. As for Cream they never achieved what Led Zep did not even close.

  • @weavermomo -horse shit. What the fuck are you talking about. Apples and oranges. Zep

    was around 12 or so years. Cream 2, dumb ass. Now, don't ever make any comments on

    music again you have been deemed a moron.

  • @weavermomo Cream was miles ahead of and beyond Zep. The musicians were all better in Cream (Zep even tried to recruit Jack Bruce after Cream's breakup with JPJ switching to keys full-time). Personality differences broke up Cream, not lack of any sort of musicianship. You are comparing Jimmy "Fumble-fingers" Page to the God!! Get a life.

  • I love Jeff & Jimmy, too, but it was Eric Clapton who started it all with the Yardbirds. Then Eric & John Mayall made the greatest bl

    ues rock album before Cream happened.

  • Honestly, I think his advice was inspiring.

    LONG LIVE ROCK!!!

  • Beck generated hundreds of ideas, Page just used to steal them.

  • @the13er great stealers is what great artists are all about dude :)

  • @the13er they both collaberated to make great music either way

  • @the13er

    It's not about WHERE they get their ideas/licks from, it's HOW they use them!!!

  • he looks like mr. miyagi

  • When did Page turn Japanese?

  • @eggg102 He's Chinese, mate.

  • He old as cheese.

  • Jimmy Page is the reason i picked up guitar

  • @3star2nr Me, too! =D

    I'm some Mexican borad, playing the Whole Lotta Love solo at home, when no one's watching. <3

  • @3star2nr me too man

  • Jimmy always seems so genuine in his respect for Beck, in spite of their differences in the past. I just saw the Beck gig at Ronnie's on TV (mind-blowing, by the way) and it was so cool when they showed Jimmy in the crowd, beaming and cheering his childhood friend. Anyway, if you'd like to see some raw slide-guitar blues, check "Underground" by Rosetta West on my channel...

  • I seriously wanna clock the meathead with the microphone. What a tool.

  • The interviewer got lost in Jimmy's eyes at the end.

  • @PwnHack Wouldn't you, if you were standing two feet in front of him, let alone looking at a screen?

  • @LDT1990  I'm jealous just thinking about it.

  • @PwnHack He's a natural occurance with a guitar, like rain, thunder, lightning, or an earthquake...But his voice is so smooth, and he's so nice and tolerant of this phony. I've got a mental "Bucket List", and meeting Jimmy is at the very top. I'm only a 21-year-old girl, and I know this man's playing like I know myself. =)

  • @LDT1990 Same here. High five!

  • @LDT1990

    I'm glad to see Jimmy Page still can make young girls feel like that, after all these years.

    I felt like that about him when I was 12 and STILL feel like that about him now 30 years later!!

    Not only did he know how to CREATE music, but he played great, AND he MOVED great on stage!(unlike clapton,beck,etc)!!

  • @vracan Yes. How they move is very important lol. My favourite mover was Jimi Hendrix (:o)

  • @lewars1912

    detect a little sarcasm there...

    face it buddy, moving is part of it, they are in the performing arts business, after all!

    Having said that, it's not the reason why Page is so great, it's just a little icing on the cake!

  • @vracan Sarcasm, lol, you're joking. I like Julian Bream and John Williams and they tend to sit down, however I

    agree that moving is very important. We all need to move.

  • @vracan The man's a good 46 years older than me. I grew up with a dad who played the best of the best throughout my entire life. I remember when I was a baby-yes, that far back-when I was screaming at the top of my lungs. We had no crib, so I was on the floor in the corner of my parents room. My dad put on Led Zeppelin's 1st album, then walked out during "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You". I thought it was my dad playing, so I rolled over to find he wasn't there. 20 years later, I'm playing guitar. =)

  • @PwnHack Who wouldn't be?

  • man wat a great man even at that age im sure hes better than anybody playing 2day

  • haha he still has that angel face, especially in the end when he wipes his forehead with his tie thing

  • Jimmy PAGE is far superior than others : Page is the best the others the rest !

  • what a generic question to ask. thank god page had a good fucking responce hahahah

  • Fantastic ! I discovered Jeff Beck in the early seventies. And it's so unreal to see Jimmy Page so old !

  • Jimmy Page is the reason I play my guitar every night, just to learn all his songs. Someday, I'll get there. Thanks Jimmy for inspiring me so much.

  • @csnymoodiesfan

    same here, he's the SOLE reason I started playing guitar when I was 12.... and still do!!

  • I think the interviewer was in genuine awe to be in his presence.

    wouldn't you be?

  • jimmy should tell jeff to drop the prices of his concerts(tickets)

    especially in this economy. c,mon now.

  • i don't like the interviewer, didn't look honest completely....

  • @kokybhakta yeah he was a fake ass meathead...

  • i wanna hear him talk about hendrix

  • this guys all ryan seacresty, i hate, jimmy page is awesome tho

  • I don't think you can can a more "humble" guitarist than Jimmy Page. He's always been far better at coordinating the studio than playing a single lick.

  • Page is such a gentleman really impressed with him for many years now. Between him and Beck that's the reason I play guitar.

  • Jimmy Page is better than Hendrix and Beck..

  • @tartinovich9

    Do you mean Jeff Beck? or Beck? Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck are Zeus and Jupiter.

  • @tartinovich9 better ? thats a pretty vague statement

  • @tartinovich9 playing the guitar, hendrix is better but as far as writing music goes. jimmy page has no equal

  • Jimmy Page............so great so incredible so creatvie !!

  • Jimmy Page............

  • Jimmy Page is the best period! All others just are imatate what he mastered!

  • @jbmannon Yes a more true statement their never was.

  • OMG!!! I love Jimmy Page!!

  • I love Jimmy......he is my HERO!!!!

  • Jimmy page was one of the biggest influences on me to learn the guitar. He's one of my heros.

  • Interviewer is a bit of a one note pony. AWESOME!!!

  • I think Jimmy Page is KING of all guitarists period. Too young to see Zep in concert, watching the Song Remains at the midnight movies, in the early 80's was the next best thing. Watching his moves, and hearing his play for almost 2 1/2 hours straight, from that 1973 footage put you in another world.

  • its amazing how humble he is as well as plant. maybe age does it, but they seem like really nice people who dont look down on anyone.

  • @babystinky Even in his party days hooked on smack otherss called him a gentleman always doing what was best for the music & the audience. He knows he's great he has nothing to prove by pushing himself into the front to do a solo when another was there to be honored. He & Beckwere mates way back in the beginning, along w/Ronnie Woods.

  • it's good to know i am not alone in my shameless worship of Page . Great comments all of ya

  • One of the top ten individuals I'd like to meet.....

  • @74TheJoker Top one here, haha.

  • We live you Jimmy Page!!

  • @GUITAPHIL Ouch, must be a shame to utter such a high handed phrase...and spell it wrong.

  • Jimmy is still the english gentlemen. And still one of the masters. 

  • Isnt it funny how two of the greatest guitarists to come from the uk, were hanging out as youths, before the spot light.. How fucking cool would it have been to be a fly on the wall at there first jam....

  • who's easier to understand Page or Keef ?

  • @DrHogfan page!!! Keef is worse then ozzie lol

  • I'm a huge fan of Jeff Beck but DAMN Jimmy Page was there and well.....he started it all not didn't he! Jimmy gave birth to so many great guitar rifts as well as his own...LOVE JEFF and JIMMY

  • How inspiring!!!!!!!!! "Im with the greatest...Jimmy Page back too u'...fucken love it! Page for president prime minister chancellor and fucken dictator of the world baby! lmao

  • Surrey YE, im from saintly surrey, home of the greats!

  • ¨how could these english lads been able to aford the guitars (Gibsons!!) amps etc. i dont understand it being from sweden, I cant still afford a guitar and Im 30!

  • @musicofsounds back in jimmys time i think although they were still expensize they werent as over priced as now

  • u know for a supposed satanist he is a really proper gent.

  • @Jacobman67

    Most of them are very proper, kind, intelligent people.

  • @Jacobman67 He's never been satanist. Even Crowley wasn't. He was against the church which is what made people consider him as satanist. That's it.

  • @zeppelinn Aleister Crowley was the biggest, baddest, Satanist of all time. How can you say he was not a Satanist??

  • @CleRoyster No, he was not. :-) He was a spiritual explorer.. a magician. He wasn't worshipping Satan.

  • @zeppelinn Well,..Zep..I'm just a'sayin'.....I used to love Led Zeppelin,..till I found out what they were really up to. I'm sorry , too.

  • @CleRoyster And what were they up to?

  • @CleRoyster What were Zep up to? Just making hoardes of money, and creatively peaking after only 3 albums, and still seen as one of the greatest bands of all time?

  • @CleRoyster crowley was a joke . every thing else he was existed in his mind .Or the mind of his believers , who are even more idiotic

  • I'd do almost anything to meet jimi page

  • "This is awesome!" No it's not Yank - it's bloody common sense!

  • Jimmy is the best ever...a true gentleman...a legend

  • lol hes such a legend even in his sixties. it looks like this interview was after an induction of jeff beck and jimmy had a few to drink

  • @SevenofSharpNine -Uh ok? I was just stating an observation - He could worship Satan and fuck midgets .....and for all we know , he did!! That still doesn't take away the brilliance of his songwriting, playing and producing but Hey....I could be totally wrong. Who gives a fuck?

  • Actually he's a HUGE influence on me... But it's a documented fact that he was a junkie. I've also been around long enough that I know when someone is on drugs and Jimmy is clearly fucked up in this video...... I'm not sure why you care that I said he was on drugs.

  • If it was meaningless then you wouldn't be crying like a 4 year old girl.

    Douche.

  • SevenofSharpNine - You're a douche drinker.

  • You're a douche.

  • "You don't know Jim" ? Let me guess , YOU do?

    First of all...You're a douche.... You're dumb and I really don't give a fuck what you say....So please...Go fuck yourself.

  • Dudes....Jimmy Page is wasted in this interview. He was doing some coke...Damn!

  • Jimmy Page, l've been his fan since early 1985, and never stopped, from 1987 til 1990, 95% of the music l was listening was Zeppelin. Page, Hendrix, Beck and Blackmore are my favorites, and of course Page is my #1 of all times.When he was at his prime, no one could beat him, Speed, Devastating Riffs, and Unreal Guitar Solos,miles ahead of his era, Page had all the special techniques the other guitar heroes had.Its sad that he burned too fast, all those Zepp shows consumed him.

  • no hatin but its always american interviewrs that pose the stupidest questions and most retarded interviews, jimmy page still cool as ever though.

  • I think that Jimmy wanted to deck the tool that did the interview (he probably sicked Halfin on his bloody azz). It was funny how he went on and on about how long he knew Beck, could it have been so that the interviewer couldn't ask him any more stupid questions that he's answered a hundred times over...

  • I'm falling for this man all over again. He was so sincere about his advice for young artists; he seemed passionate about his answer. Beautiful advice, especially when compared to the advice Beck gave when the interviewer asked him the same question - his reply (in case you didn't see it) was kind of a sarcastic "good luck" and chuckle. Not that I'm being rude to Beck, I can certainly understand that answer; but Jimmy's was full of hope and positive energy.

  • Just imagine how much better LZ would have been with Beck.

    Now I'll sit here and wait for the morons to chirp up.

  • nice thought! i had pictures clapton in there but never beck. .very nice~!!

  • What a goofball interviewer. Then again, if I were standing there trying to think of something intelligent to ask him that he hadn't already been asked a thousand times before... I'd probably come off like a poser too.

  • One thing I notice about Jimmy Page, whether it's recent times or back in the Early days of Zeppelin, he comes off like he's optimistic. "Believe in yourself." I think it probably has a lot to do with his success.

  • Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, two legends in Rock music.

    He is a pretty calm and nice guy, on stage (most of the time) Page looked a bit cocky..

  • the guy doing the interview is a tool who doesnt know shit about what hes talking about. Jimmy Page your an amazingly intelligent dude.

  • stay true to yourself... the guy that does the interview is sooo fake!!!

  • I fucking love you jimmy!I fucking love you!

  • A lot of bands from Engald. lol

  • omg will you show me that video!!!!!

  • omg jimmy is amazing i love him and his pants! thanks for sharing that lmao

  • haha he keeps cuttin off the interviewer. JIMMY PAGE LEGEND OF ROCK N ROLL

  • I heard an online interview with Page a few years back where they asked him about the dragon suits. He said they were still hanging up in his closet. They asked if he ever puts them on, he laughed and said he wouldn't be able to get waist of the pants around one of his legs now.

  • He is one cool dude,damn.

  • that guy just couldn't believe that jimmy page was talking to him, WOW, THIS IS AWESOME.

  • It's fairly amazing how low profile Jimmy Page has always been.

  • he looks like my orthodontist

  • he IS your orthodontist.

  • thx for the vid tyjn.

  • Great to hear Page tell this story. It seems like only dedicated Beck fans know it. Two of the best guitarists ever to walk the planet, pals at 13. Beck & Page, along with Keith Moon, and John Paul Jones recorded ( a single only unfortunately), before Zepplin. Most interesting of all is that the name, Led Zepplin was coined (not used) by this group. Ahh, twists of fate. We might never have had Plant with Page then. Big loss that would have been.

  • its spelled zeppelin just so u kno...

  • jimmy page, is a bad ass.

  • not a bad ass.

    THE Badass.

  • i seriously want fuckin dragon pants

  • dont even get me started on how much i want the Dragon Suit. that thing is BAD. FUCKING. ASS. and probably so damn comfortable.

  • if it didnt have dragons on it and it wasnt warn by jimmy page it wouldnt be comfortable. that bad ass.

  • true that............GOD I WANT FUCKING DRAGON PANTS SO MUCH.

  • me too :)))

  • @heyslay Sometimes I just don't think the younger generation gets it and well....we invented it so listen up! Jimmy is the ROCK GUITAR LEGEND that everyone looks up to. He invented new sounds, new techniques and so much more...He may look old but he's wise.

  • Mr Page hasn't changed much though he still looks the same :). A legend talking about another legend. He is quite the humble person

  • I just got a message through a medium from Django, Wolfgang and Charlie Parker, and they all think you're talking bollocks......

  • Jimmy Page, Wizard, God, The Greatest Musician of All Time, The Greatest Guitarist of All Time, did I mention He was a Wizard?

  • @LedZeppelinisgod100 jimmy page is a fucking wizard ten times better the gandalf. he turns into a fucking wizard in the song remains the same.

  • FUCK YES. btw, that movie kicks so much fucking ass.

  • i know there is only one word to describe that movie FUCKING WIZARDRY funny thing is he alctually has a lot of interest in the occult and alester crowley

  • HELL YEAH. and yeah i know. im not sure if hes still into that anymore. haha watch him lead like some sort of cult. :P i would join no questions asked. and i was saying he was the original badass. wannabes followed. and he still is the original badass.

  • i beleive in god and im christian but if god wasnt god i would join jimmy's cult

  • i can respect that. haha if god wasnt god. youre a smart guy.

  • GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love how he talks, now that he's older he sounds so cute, if i didnt know who he is i would never think he was a rock n roll and sex god in the 70's

  • omg he looks like my grandpa

  • Page played on Joe Cocker's with a little help from my friends as well.

    Clapton was in the Yardbirds until for your love came out. Then he left to join John Mayall. Beck took over and when they needed a bassist he suggested Page come in. Then Beck started twisting off and not showing up for gigs so Page took over on lead and on the nights Beck did show they did dual leads. Would have been awesome to have seen one of those shows but I did get to see them play with Clapton at the LA ARMS show.

  • Jimmy Page is a genius, his influence cannot be understimated.

    Funny how Led Zepplin and other breakthrough rock from the late 60's and early seventies holds up very well over time. Its the spiritual , creative energy that is so inspirational.

    Can we say the same for the slop heard on popular radio today? Much of today's junk will sound dated very fast and will be forgotten.

  • Never heard Page speak before (or maybe I just don't remember it).

    I like the way he talks.

    He has a mighty pleasant way about him, does Jimmy. Especially
