Kindly SMACK that like button and Subscribe. I really appreciate it!!! 🤘😎🤘 EDIT: Death Wish II, not III
Both part 2 and 3
Yes, Death Wish II released in 1982, his first project after Led Zeppelin. Great video!
@tparker2095 Thank you! It's funny because I listen to that soundtrack a lot and yet I got the numbers all mixed up. I appreciate the kind words bud!
@@tparker2095 His first project really was XYZ after Zep in 1981.... They recorded some demos tried getting Plant to join but he wouldn't. XYZ stands for Ex Yes and Ex Zep. Jimmy's music was used in Death Wish 2 and 3.

When all criteria regarding what makes a “Guitar God” is taken in to account.
Page is #1 in my book.
THE 🐐
Oh yeah!
@@guitarmeetsscience Page is so vague about what he believes, that he might actually think he's a guitar god. Jimmy believes, "Do What Thou Wilt."
I totally agree with you 💯 pc . He is the goat for sure x
Agree!
He’s the reason I became infatuated with learning the guitar.Favorite guitarist in my favorite band.
High five - I'm in the same exact boat. Page has endless creativity and is one hell of an inspiring player. The whole picture really.
Being 67 I grew up with Led Zeppelin in the background of my youth. Unlike today’s music they were always a mystery and really added to their popularity.
You said it perfectly - they were able to weave together pretty much a narrative all throughout their career that we just don't see Acts doing nowadays. Nowadays it's all about whatever the latest gossip is or who is dissing who. There's a lot they could learn from this band.
I was there for the whole ride! Led Zeppelin in 1969 kicked off their iconic introductory tour with a playing a gig at a 🎪 circus tent in Framingham Massachusetts where at the time anyone who was anyone played. Hendrix, Joplin , Doors etc. It was in a residential neighborhood next to I-90 AKA the Mass. Pike. The neighbors complained about the noise 😑 🤔(imagine noise!) and the permit was pulled and the venue shut down. Zeppelin also played a gig in 1969 on the same iconic introductory tour at The Boston Tea Party. Probably the most iconic and well known venue in the Northeast! They played a very unusually long set that night and anyone who was there got a REAL treat! Steven Tyler was there and Tyler's girlfriend ended up going with Jimmy Page back to his hotel room for some after the show extra caricular activity. Ironic that theses two super stars became such good friends that Tyler and Perry were asked to host Zeppelin's introduction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Zeppelin's music definitely shaped the music word with their innovative and new sound! I was happy to be part of it! What a ride! Thanks for the memories and the music 🎶 🎵!
What Is And Will Always Be!...Led Zeppelin! Das 😎 all! Das 😎 cool! ❤👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ray Boston Massachusetts!
Wow you have some pretty damn cool stories there! It is a shame they shut that venue down, it's funny because I would bet that if somehow led Zeppelin was still around and a venue like that was open people would welcome it. Boston tea party I remember reading about that - when they just kept on going and trying to come up with any new jams they could think of. Brings back memories - thank you so much for sharing that!
Awesome story!!!
👿🔱😈.. I think one thing the old school rockers Mastered that every new band can't wrap their mind around is changing the tempo in the sound of the song throughout the song they seem to be stuck in one dimension playing style... they forget that it's the Mellow slower Parts in the song that make the heavy faster Parts sound that much more heavier you need to break in the the song... Zep and sabbath were the best at this i think
Absolutely right!!
@@guitarmeetsscience Very well stated. 👍
What a fantastic explanation. Noted and will share to my own band, cheers 🤘🏼
@@JeremiahB444 building a songs energy up slowly is another thing 70s bands did well.. Keep it mellow at the beginning of the song.. Then hit the listeners on the head with a hammer when the band pics up the tempo 🤘
@@JeremiahB444 best wishes to everyone in your band and with your band amd music.. Rock it 🤘🤘🤘
When i hear the critics shit and bash Page , there's two reason's why they do it .
The first is there totally jealous to the point of no return and the second reason is there totally ignorant to the point of no return . Page is the total pkg musician, no one can touch him . Zeppelin is the Greatest Band hands down .
Damn freaking right! I
You can't forget Jeff Beck...Jimmy loved his playing as does David Gilmour.
They are masters of their time and the ones still here, most definitely are.
"Gosh, it's hard enough writing the music one way around, let alone backwards" Jimmy is totally correct. Nobody in Led Zeppelin purposely wrote the lyrics so that they would form sounds of other words when played backwards. There are other bands who have added some backmasking on purpose but that was not the case with the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven. But the song played backwards does form audible words, and it's not just one part, it is throughout most of the song. Robert Plant's own retelling of the story of how he wrote the lyrics is very interesting, he claims that basically the words just came to him as if written automatically.
All excellent points you make! I really got a kick out of Jimmy Page saying that so I had to head the video off with it. People won't believe it but I'm actually a practicing musician myself - occasionally for the fun of it I've reversed songs that I have written and performed with bands, and I've put all sorts of satanic messages in them lol. I don't know man - he's out to get everybody through the music I guess lol
Jimmy was curious about things but not into dark arts lie he has been portrayed. Greatest guitarist...greatest band...great producer...pure genius!
He was and is way into the darkest occult.
Any follower/admirer of Crowley has chosen the Left Hand path, Paige will pay his dues when he passes from this world and he knows it
He bought the Boleskine House. I would say that in and of itself is much more than just a "curiosity about things"
@@schinderiapraemeturus6239 Crowley was not LHP. Have you read a single page from any Crowley book?
Led Zeppelin is my favorite cover band.
A real good video Jimmy. Enjoyed this one a lot.👍
Thank you Ed! I appreciate it brother

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jimmy ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏
Knocked another one out of the park , about my favorite band no less. Appreciate all the history and your music theory breakdown on Page's guitar techniques. Thanks. 💯💥🎸
Thanks so much Joe - they're my favorite band of all time as well. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it - I plan to revisit them again sometime, Jimmy Page is still probably the most intriguing guitar player out there. 🙏
Excellent overview of Page. Thank you!
🙏 Thank you kindly - I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
The music is so good that make believe you every legend or story you put around.....
Another great point right there!
Great recap of the extensive and varied career of one of the greatest ever!
Thank you Doug I appreciate it! 🙏
First guitar player I’ve heard that could make a guitar growl, and play the sound of a spiral toward the end of dazed and confused on TSRTS it comes through you’re ears and makes you feel/see a spiral along with alternate tuning the use of a bow, therman, wha, and various other techniques.
Perfect description of his playing!!!
Since hendrix said bad things about Zeppelin let me say hendrix was very jealous over PAGE which says nothing about hendrix
Very interesting - I never knew that!
LOL this is fun ! Love your music and channel !
Lol thanks man! Doing these documentaries is pretty fun.
Nice rundown of years!
Thanks so much Brianna!!!! Much appreciated!! 🙏
Love this! I learned things that I never knew about LZ which is crazy because I thought I knew it all lol!
What I have been doing lately is finding every live version of “No Quarter” just to listen to the middle jam between JPJ, JHB, and JP. The longer the jam the better! That is the magic of LZ was the live recreation of studio masterpieces and the chemistry between the band. The song No Quarter use to creep me out as a kid fueled by the band being labeled as satanic and the band hiding satanic messages on albums. The creepy riffs that JPJ plays on the keyboard and the vocal filter used by plant added to my creepy vibe about the song. I had that same vibe as a kid with Black Sabbath and their song Black Sabbath. The rain storm at the beginning and the dramatic music and lyrics.
Fast forward: I got older and realized that I was being a little ridiculous and after really listening to those masterpieces I became hooked on finding the live versions because of the fantastic JPJ driven jams between the 3 with Plant adding to the magic with his improv.
Fun fact: LZ never played Fool in the rain live. Obviously with JHB passing away I wonder if they ever would have because of its complexity. The Bonham shuffle which to me, is a masterpiece of complex fantasticness!!!!!!😅
Love this well put together documentary you created and I thank you, sir.
Thanks so much! Their version on the 1979 Knebworth show had JPJ in rare form... I like all the versions they did live but that would really stood out. It's like a buddy of mine from college who was completely afraid to listen to Pantera - the band just scared the hell out of him haha I don't know why I find that funny but I guess music has a real profound effect on people. Musically, no quarter has it all - one of the standout tracks of the '70s as far as I'm concerned. It is interesting that they never played fool in the rain live - I'm thinking probably the middle section was so involved they didn't want to try to duplicate it. Bonzo's Purdie shuffle (also employed on Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters" by its originator Bernard Purdie) would have been very cool in a live setting.
This man was a genius
Excellence in
Song writing
Guitar
All originals written by Jimmy Robert & others
Can't say tht abt today's bands❤ they are excellent
Today
BIG UPS DUDE 👍🏻, love your 🎸 videos , stay cool 🚬😎
Thank you so much brother!!! 🤘🤘
Awesome video, research and commentary. You’ll reach your goal one day keep rolling brother 🤘🏼
Thanks brother! I think I've already exceeded my goal..... Didn't expect anybody to watch these things. Thank you for the kind words brother!
@@guitarmeetsscience that’s so inspiring bro love it ❤️🔥🫡
Cool !!!
It sounded the way he wanted. vwas his vision but without the other 3 puzzle pieces then as Bonhams son Jason said after celebration day . I got to play with the greatest band in the Land
Without a doubt the greatest band in all of the land!
Jimmy has tried to live a life of conscious magick - he accomplished much
Great video. One of the best and very professionally done. I understand that Page was deeply involved with witchcraft but i now think the tricks may be on him. He didnt need spells to draw anyone because he was born to sing and play. He was full.of natural.talent. Led Zepplin was unique and our childhood was better when we listened to the music.
Thank you so much Jacqueline! You are absolutely right - Jimmy Page just has it in his fingers. I really appreciate your kind words 🙏
When i first heard jimmy play......i sold my fingers. Typing this with my feet🙄🙄
Just don't watch any Bruce Lee videos 😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@guitarmeetsscience I dare not 😂
@Karl-dg7rm 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Thankyou guitar science
Thank you Gina!
Love
I wouldn't consider Led Zeppelin a "metal band". I would consider them a hard rock band mostly because their songs revolve around BLUES music, with a heavy back beat.
Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Page, in his prime, was too cool for school! An almost mystical sense of stagecraft and showmanship, with the TALENT to back it up! (Many showmen and stagecrafters lack talent. They're just 'show' and 'flash'. Like many bubble gum 'metal' bands, and others.) I know this will piss many off, but with show and flash, and lacking talent and substance, KISS comes to mind. As does Triumph and whatever stupid band wrote, "Final Countdown". No 'umphh', no 'grit' in such gum-drop rock.
Thank you...... Now I have neh neh neh nowwwww ne ne ne ne nuh.... Stuck in my brain lol ... Got to hand it to Europe - that piano line is criminally catchy 😆
JPJ was recruited before Plant and Bonham.
Jimmy Page looks so cool.
Yes he does I can all through the years He's always managed to look pretty cool
you really goat me now.
😆😆😆😆😆🤘
He did live in alister crowelly house and did belong to the house of the golden dawn
Yes and yes
100 👍👍
What i would like to know is if LZ had interaction with Somerset Bellenoff, Lillibet, in their early days. As rumors go ..this is the Lady that Stairway to Heaven is dedicated to.
Possibly or they referenced her....Belenoff was nicknamed "The May Queen" because she was born in May and supposedly due to some of the stuff that she was into. Interesting thought!
My friends and I moved the LZIV record backwards on the turntable, and came up with the same line for the Satan thing, but I remember it not having anywhere near the clarity of your sample. If this had any real intent (not) then it would beg the questions: why did anyone even listen to it backwards to discover it in the first place?, and how many records did they do it with before finding anything?
You bring up a good point - it probably has to do with the fact that some bands actually did do it intentionally and let it be known. So then it became a quest to find other messages as well. Hell - in my own lyrics for songs I've recorded with bands I've played them backwards and I just keep hearing myself uttering my first name all the time lmao. The samples are clear on the video because I actually employed audio source separation to get the vocals all by themselves before I even attempted to reverse them. Without the music there it sounds much clearer.
John Paul Jones was the first recruited by page because him and Page were BOTH session musicians for a long time . Then page found Plant and plant brought in Bonham on drums.
Actually JPJ’s wife saw a small article in a trade paper stating that Jimmy Page was forming a new band after “the yardbirds” disbanded… she knew her husband was getting tired of his studio jobs and urged him to contact Page and offer his services. He did, and Page immediately jumped at the offer and said “Yes, great!”.
Yep....JPJs wife ftw
i think its a rather fun thought that pagey summoned one of crowleys demons, and they all sold their souls for fame and fortune , (it was either bonzo or JPJ that didnt participate)
picked up a guitar because of this man when i was 14 back in 94....he still inspires me to this day.
of course the real key to his sucsess and granduer is Cinnamon...😉
he will always be a grand wizard to me, just happens that his wand is a guitar.
excellent stuff Jimmy mate, and thankyou....oh and you got a great name for a guitar player my good sir.🙂
Obviously it was JPJ. Bonham lost his life as an alcoholic.
Hey brother man great to see you! I actually always thought it was fun too - that's why there's still a little bit of me leftover from when I was a kid haven't gotten into the band that there are all sorts of slight hints in the albums artwork - especially the three later albums. Page is definitely a grand wizard no doubt... I've been looking forward to doing this one - Yes great music does come from America - but man we cannot touch you Brits!!! To me that's really where the music comes from. I like the name of your channel but man you're always Moonie to me! Glad to see you're doing well bud 🤘😎🤘
Yep - luckily for Jones he managed to avoid all the trappings and just be a normal family guy. It served him well for sure.
@@guitarmeetsscience JPJ protected his sanity and his family for sure.
@@guitarmeetsscience good ol moonie...yeah francis and ian still call me moonie lol.....i just wanted to be serious and use my actual name, well my initials :) cheers jimmy mate , you got the wizard chops brother for sure.
Coverdale/Page was short lived due to Plant's jealousy. A second album was in the works.
Never put the time frame together but I believe you’re on to something.
Would you STOP remastering perfection!
I must be STOPPED!!!
When you look at Jimmy page he used ,a marshall amp and a Gibson eds-12-75 duel neck and just played no tricks just him and the guitar today groups use to many electronic to get the right feel
Exactly - straight into a wah and into the amp.... Simple and effective setup!
I honestly believe Led Zeppelin's music degraded the vibration of planet Earth by a few notches. Nothing that bad had ever been heard before. Love the guys though & Stairway of course.
Thank you for your honesty! 🤘🤘
That is the most insane thing ive read in a long while. Led Zeppelin degraded the vibration of the planet - is insane enough but then to add that you also love them and their music? Some people are absolutely bonkers.
Excuse me, no! 'Since I've Been Loving You', other than the opening live riff, in no way compares to, 'Tea for One'. 'Tea' is an infinitely more polished and nuanced blues piece, with a subtle electric guitar lead, climaxing in a solo that evoked an image, in me, of a teardrop falling through a blue spotlight. No comparison.
Esoteric teaching and the word occult are the same thing and have nothing to do with black magick. A convenient misconception to throw one from the true journey. It was Eddie Philips of the band The Creation that first manipulated the use of a violin bow for their first single Making time on Planet Records in 1966.
Bloody hell... Jimmy even stole someone else's album cover😅SMH.. Zeppelin are the greatest collage band ever.
Hahaha yep!!
it was bonham who got plant to stay.
Yes this was Bonham who got Plant to stay. JP & JPJ didn't even go to the funeral.
@JCM…how did he get ahead of you on this. 😢
???
Zostar
Death Wish II not 3
Good catch.... Totally right!!!! Sheesh I needed coffee
Acting it's part 2 and 3
☆Blessed Be☆
I have to disagree that Page is the GOAT. Never heard of a guy named Hendrix? And even Jimmy would agree as well. Eric Clapton, after seeing Hendrix for the first time, couldn't pick up a guitar for 6 months. Same deal with Hendrix and Page and a myriad of greats that would agree as well because once you have seen nirvana, heaven is a close second. And I love all the greatest, and not so great (your opinion, not mine) but what it all comes down to it, who is/was the best. There are some absolutely brilliant players who only play Spanish or nylon, and usually have the greatest looking at the other guy and thinking " thats impossible, how did you do that" and the other guy just gives a little smile and thinks " My boy, you have much to learn ".
He's three videos back from this one 🤘🤘
46:13 Jimmy Eat Page?
Haha got some mad attention to detail! Actually I tripped on my words a bit - happens all the time when I do these. Lol good catch!
nah.... Iommi is the dawn of metal. Give Page hard rock.
you didnt include the story about when david bowie met jimmy page, its interesting.
Oh yes that is a good one too! I'll be revisiting him before long so I'll definitely have to include it.
A lot of great musicians had co-writers to write lyrics. You have to know how to write a song in witch language. Say, "yes we can" and play it backwards
Oh yes..... Now if you would like to be in for a treat, check out when Arnold Schwarzenegger yells get in the chopper played backwards 😆
What good is his occult practices if he ends up a drug addict who lost his drummer and his band? Satan is a liar. Every time.
Amen brother.. I did and still do admire his guitar playing but just leave out all that hocus pocus garbage. I believe all that did cause death and serious bad stuff..
C'mon people, this is the 21st century. Get a grip...
@@mattrogers1946 You get a clue. The truth never changes.
Page was not a satanist!
Well, if Julie Manarin says so, it must be true...
Dude from your commentary what you just said you make it seem like led Zeppelin wasn't into the occult and worshiping Satan they were just like all the artists do today you know that old saying only the players change but the game stays the same come on man and I Love led Zeppelin this is my favorite band but I also know what they were really into
It's hard to balance the narrative between the material and the hypothetical. I tried to do that here, but there's only so much us little RUclipsrs can do. Honestly - can you really envision John Bonham sitting still for a second at some elaborate satanic ritual? Lol I certainly can't
Maybe if the guys snuck up on him while he was sleeping 😂😂😂
He got his ten years, gone.
His time is gonna come though....how many more times can he keep it up?
Dawn of Metal was Tony Iommi.
Look at the timeline - Black Sabbath's first album comes out in 1970 so they were not widespread by that point. Page was already doing dazed and confused with the Yardbirds before Zeppelin's first album even came out in 1968. Zeppelin was hitting it hard before Sabbath even came out. Not to discredit Tony of course - because he ran with it and made it so much so darker. Either way the real father of heavy metal was most likely Link Wray anyhow
@@guitarmeetsscience I don't think there was a real father (or mother) of Heavy Metal. Kinks, Who, Henrix and Cream are all very central. For me, The Ox by the Who (1965) is the first real metal tune. It is brutal even by today's standards.
@@guitarmeetsscience One member of Deep Purple said in a documentary that after hearing the first Zep album they got inspired and started to play harder. Regarding Black Sabbath, Ozzy said that they were inspired too. Iommi made the song Paranoid after inspiration from Communication Breakdown. Ozzy told him that the riff perhaps was too similar. No, it will work, Iommi thought. Great video!
Before I matured and grew to know better, Jimmy is very, very, very overrated as a guitar player... Sure he's been part of some great stuff, but come on... I paid big money both times I saw Zeppelin in the 70s, and was thoroughly disappointed both times... He's a pretty damn sloppy player when ya get right down to it...I love Jimmy, but he wouldn't make my top best 15 Rock/Metal guitarists...
Tight but loose. If you understand Zep then you know they didn't try to recreate the albums in concert. What shows did you see ? Let it be known
He was a studio cat through and through - performance-wise he put on a really good show, but he used to run everybody out of the studio when he would do his solos, agonizing over every single note. I just don't think the live thing was really his thing he would have been totally at home in steely Dan
Who’s your top 5?
Big money ? Really concert tickets were cheap back then. 20.00 maybe for a ticket and that price included money for a lighter and a burger at mc Donald's.
BLUE CHEER ARE THE GREAT GRAND DADDIES OF HEAVY METAL END OF STORY
They were awesome too!
