Calm well spoken guy. One of rock history's most important figures.
Hey james b, you are very funny! Hilarious in fact!! I can’t wait to see your HBO Comedy Special called Sarcasm that’s just Wrong!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
james b you implied Page isn’t one of rock’s most important figures. Which he definitely is.

I don’t know why, but Jimmy’s “hand modeling” at 1:32 makes me laugh every time.
He has a really long thumb, that's for sure.

I can't believe that Jimmy Page and I were practically in the same town that day. My dad lived in Suffern, NY where I visited him each summer. To know that I was probably a 12 minute walk from the guy who inspired me on many levels blows me away almost 30 years later.
rwegimont his mother was Irish. I’ve known many Irish who have this look. Really dark hair with those eyes. It’s an Irish thing I believe
I feel you man. I wasn't quite born yet but I'm I was born and raised in Bergen County and it's very strange/exciting to imagine Jimmy taking a trip out there to show off some guitars.
kentocky “when Irish eyes are smiling...”. I have them too. People ask if I can see and teased me. I can’t imagine what Jimmy got in his day!
small world in this thread, im in bergen county right now, witha zeppelin tattoo from the best to wver do it out of suffern ny, and the mahwah les paul museum poster on my wall! i love how music can connect people like that

Lets go to Les Pauls house and talk about Fender Telecasters...
And without even inviting Les Paul to the interview...
Because Leo was Lester's friend...duh.
The people are not the corporations. Learn that.
Leo was a designer and Les was a player!
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
@@5eviexe466 Les Paul didn't design the Les Paul guitar, he simply endorsed it. It was designed by Tim McCarty and team at Gibson. Les Paul provided some input, that's it. Leo Fender tried to get Les Paul to endorse the Telecaster before Gibson came out with the guitar we know as the Les Paul, but Les already had a long relationship with Gibson and declined Leo's offer. Otherwise, we might today know the Telecaster as the Les Paul. Know what you are talking about before you start talking.
if you guys wanna see this awesome guitar live in action check out "Ten Years Gone" live at Knebworth in 1979, Page shows the real power of a string bender guitar
thanks for the info bro
good call that was awesome!
He certainly did use the B-bender in a very musically expressive and pleasing fashion. He also had a rosewood necked Telecaster that was fitted with a B-bender as well as a re-finished 70s Les Paul which was also fitted out with a B-bender.
Ten years gone
@@TheHumbuckerboy do you know where these can be seen?
The Hawaiian shirt and white pants is a huge change from his dragon suit.
The 80s happened and we all let it happen
That’s very 80’s.
I wore a shirt just like that around that time too.
@Sex God no way man, Les was trying out Jimmy,s dragon suit, he was playing a Dan Electro with a violin bow just off camera. I was the cameraman. .
Wow. I just realized that Jimmy is showing off a Tele at Les Paul's house. SECURITY!!!!
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
It works with rods, levers, and gremlins. I love listening to Jimmy
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Jimmy appreciates the craftsmanship which complements his playing.
This was great. People always bag on the Live Aid appearance, (yeah Page, Jones, Plant bag on it too) but I still stand by it. Like many moments in our lives, it was that moment in time, and when looked back on, maybe not up to par. But at that time, the energy was incredible!! And while there were rough parts, there were brilliant parts as well----Robert looking over at Jimmy when he starts Stairway, and in the beginning when Robert yells "Good Evenin!, and Jimmy leans over and it looks like he says "do it again", and Robert screams out "I said Good Evening!!" so awesome. So after watching 20 hours of bands playing both shows of Live Aid all day and night, having Page Plant and Jones come on was a real dose of Rock---in contrast to all the pop that had been played (which was good). Priest and Sabbath had put down some excellent rock as well, and we all know Queen ripped it up at Wembley, but I still stand with the Zep set, warts and all! cheers!
They could have used a real drummer. Not unrehearsed prog rockers.

Jimmy seems very humble,friendly, down-to-earth. ; }
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
2:45 "A whole system of rods, levers and gremlins." How awesome!
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
This Telecaster is reputed to be Page's second favourite guitar after his number 1 Les Paul.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
I remember reading about this show in Guitar Player back then, but never got to see it. Would love to see more videos.
Rods and levers and gremlins. He’s so cute. And very down to earth. I haven’t seen an interview yet where he isn’t humble and very nice.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Low and behold. Glad you found us and I hope that you subscribed. Thanks for watching.
The neck on this guitar is the one he took off his original Yardbirds (Dragon) Tele he used in the 60's after that guitars body was destroyed by a paint job, this neck has been on countless classic recordings from the 60's-70's from the Yardbirds to Led Zep (Whole Lotta Love), etc.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
He uses this on his live 10 years gone...amazinf
Such a cutie pie
Karen Joanna Warwick OH YES GIRL😂😂✊🏾
2:42 Did Jimmy say rods levers and "gremlins"? LOL!
+Wiser InTime LOFL
HAAHHAAHAHAHAHAAHA WHY DID HE SAY GREMLINS XD
british AF
pagey was trippeh man !
Sounds like it. haha
"What's the point of this metal plate on the back?" -- it's the cover of the internal string-bending mechanism.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Thanks for sharing!
Keep 'em coming awesome! thanks
The tele always suited jimmy.
It seems that this functional metal plate was the birth of the B-Bender tremolo device on the future factory Telecasters. That thing is probably worth a mint by now and not "just because" Jimmy Paige played it but because it was the beginning of a new innovation at Fender for a tremolo "like" device for the Telecaster other than the Bigsby.
In the words of clarence white, "if I wanted it to sound like pedal steel guitar, I'd play pedal steel guitar!" Great guitar player that was on the verge of being a household name. Bernie Leadon really popularized it on all those eagles songs. Peaceful Easy Feeling, Tequila Sunrise, Lyin Eyes, etc. Another name jimmy casually mentions is "sneaky" pete kleinow , a true pioneer in bringing pedal steel into rock, and influenced the playing of buddy cage and jerry garcia. Absolutely great stuff
Amazing Ten Years Gone was recorded on that Telecaster
He came to Les Paul's house with all of his guitars that he played at Live Aid in 1985. We talk about them all. Thanks for being a subscriber.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
rods levers and gremlins lol
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Its amazing listening to him describe what a B-bender is and does back then, seeing as it was probably a fairly new concept at this time!
"Fender's". Love it!
I wish this was an hour long
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Gene Parsons was a close friend to my boss and we spent a lot of time talking rock and rock. He gave me a string bender kit for free. I polished about a thousand parts for it.
He's got Gremlins in his guitar!
Technically it's called a B-Bender. not simply string bender. Page was not the first one to have one of these. Country players have had these for a very long time.
I have got one made by GENE Parsons. Gram Parsons was not the co inventor of this device. It is amazing.
Clarence White who was a bluegrass guitarist first and foremost. Clarence was a huge inspiration for Tony Rice who owns Clarence's special Martin.
Clarence White.
this one guitar explains his whole sound in the In Through The Out Door era...
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/iHm7uIC84YM/видео.html
Clarence White was one hell of a player. Taken away by a drunk driver at 28
Interviewier: What is the advantage of having this metal piece on the back? What does it do to the sound?
Jimmy: Well... Oh, it doesn't need to be there, actually... until you hear the thing...
:D
This guy was completely clueless about guitars.
Uno de los mejores
thats gotta be the guitar he used on One Hit To The Body with the Stones
Definition
Definitely
UM GÊNIO EM TODOS OS SENTIDOS. PORQUE TB MONTOU A MELHOR BANDA DO MUNDO.
Impressionist of rock en roll renior
A real master
Those old Gibson lightning bolt straps. I think they stopped making them, I haven’t seen one in a long time.
check out all the classic microphones in the background!!! That's got to be one of the finest assortment of mics, in one place, in the entire universe!!! I'd love to be let loose in there and test them all, going through a vintage RCA mic pre-amp...!!! "Testing 1...2....3...Testing, Testing 1.....2....3...., Do I sound like old time radio???"!!!
All we are missing here is the holy ghost. Les Paul - Father, Jimmy Page - Son.....Hey Ghost were are you man....
He's here! His name is Eddie Van Halen!
Django was there, his guitar at least!
Jimi, can you hear us Jimi your not coming through......
Jimmy 🎸🎸🎸💖💖💖
Clarence White features his B-bender Fender on the Byrds` Chestnut Mare song(as well as some great acoustic guitar playing).
if anyone wants to see this guitar in action look up led zeppelin ten years gone live at knebworth jimmy uses it to great effect in that song
And at 1:53, you now know where the classic "this one goes to 11" line from Spinal Tap was conceived....
loraljohnson spinal tap was released in 1984, this was taped in '85
“Rods and levers and gremlins”......so cute.
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
Name from Indonesia 🙏
Too short but sweet.
👍🇬🇧❤
I think I have the video were he talks about his Les Paul. After all, we're in Les Paul's house!
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
At Les Paul's house, eh?? (actually his "place") Yeah, i knew i recognized the shirt. Same one he was wearing for the video of Satisfaction Guaranteed. Christ, there's something wrong with me! Couldn't help it. One of my favorite songs! I can usually look at a pic, and what he was wearing from any period, and tell you where it was. Of course, that was harder when he was wearing the same two or three things in the later Zep years. (btw, even though he's playing a Gibson in the video, i have a sneaking feeling he's actually using that B bender on the recording of Satisfaction Guaranteed)
HIP SHOT B Benders rule ! You don't need to cut up your guitar and you can rig it to work with your palm too . I have one on my tele and can take it off and put it on my steel string acoustic in less than an hour .
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
wow
I remember reading about The Guitar Show from a 1986 Guitar Player magazine. And I remember thinking how cool that show would be if I had acces to that channel. Low and behold, over twenty five years later, I finally get to see the videos. Really cool!
Look... still has the old tag on, never even played it. Don't touch it! Well... don't point! It can't be played. No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.
This one - it's just perfect isn't it? 1959, you know, you can just listen how much sustain, just listen a minute...the sustain, listen to it. Well you would hear it if it were playing but it's really famous for its sustain I mean you can just hold it and go and have a bite and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, you'd still be hearing that one.
11/10

Gene Parsons? Obviously good gear back in the day.
I thought he meant gram but later realised after he said it again that there was a gene parsons that played with the byrds that was no relation. After a quick google search I then found out that he was in the flying burritos with gram aswell. I'm a huge gram fan so can't believe I never picked up on this before. Il now check out genes stuff. 👍
Gadz...the 80s. *cringe*
I love Jimmy, just always so damn fuckin cool.
Oh had one for ages. I neber knew! Thought only pulked the b string? Duh. Good pre cbs with it.
Yes there are. Coming soon. Make sure your subscribe! Thanks.
I always wondered why he played that chocolate strat. The B Bender. Pretty cool. I think he had a Les Paul with one of those also. I wish I had one. SG for me. Never liked em till I held one. Is my baby. Just wish it had a 12 string up top. That would be pretty cool. Do they make those??? What was the first guitar?
I REALLY LOVE that '53 telecaster there that Jimmy Page has. I think the colour is Botswana Brown. But personally I think the maple neck that he had on the guitar in 1977 looked better that it is with the rosewood neck he had on on from 1979 and after.
Just my opinion.
Yes he was. Thanks for watching. And do subscribe. There will be more great videos coming.
The Firm!
I think he used it on "All My Love", too.
Clarence White was a fantastic player.
Really interesting that one plays guitar you think that everyone understands, but obviously the interviewer does not. Dont take anything for granted fellow musicians!.
So that's the "Parsons B-string bender" -- I'd read that he had one, but didn't know what it was until now, and that Gene Parsons from The Byrds developed it.
forestsoceansmusic Gene built the first one for his bandmate, Clarence white. Clarence played it like nobody since. Fillmore West live album is a great showcase.
Too cool. Thanks heaps for interesting info.
jimmy performed ten years gone at knebworth with this telecaster
i subscribed ages ago.can you please tell which guitars he talks about?
Mahwah? people live there?
I thought that chrome on the back was for belt buckle scratches.. 😂
..saw him use that Tele with the firm ....round 85
He is higher than a damn Mr. Kite on trampoline, jumping through a hogs head of real fire.
I find it hard to believe he wasn't Asian at 3:00
+Joella Z Jimmy is 1/8 Chinese and may explain the Dragon symbology on his stage clothes.
+Jonathan Berry I heard that as well but it has never been confirmed.
+Jonathan Berry source for this info??
***** en.allexperts.com/q/Led-Zeppelin-501/Jimmy-Page-Asian.htm
If true then I think it's kinda cool but who cares? He is one of the greatest musicians of modern times.
Respect for the profile picture!
i want the videos of jimmy talking about his les pauls please im begging you.
amazing how alike him and EVH and Ritchie Blackmore look
from his fingers!
i used to have a 1275, and this killed me.
Well, Clarence White kind of invented it with Gene Parsons in the late 60s and played on several Byrds albums from that time, so 85 is a couple of years further.
I grew up on Zeppelin and other big names in rock but I've discovered Clarence White about a year or two ago and am just blown away by this dude's playing - the byrds, nashville west, etc. Under appreciated master
That interviewer is way too free with his poking and prodding for my liking
" Don't even point" !
ruclips.net/video/eb9KULcivwE/видео.html
any more with jimmy?
That was a long explanation to just say "B Bender" lol
Hopefully, you subscribed. Thanks!
who better to host the guitar show?
marty stuart has and plays the first b bender ever made by clarence.
2:36 kinda sounded like "fool in the rain"
Me and him have the same speak problems, Lol..what happens is you have a lot information in your mind that you want to say it so badly.
In Jimmy's case, it's heroin, unfortunately
+Buick Le Sabre funnily enough, it's drugs for them too
rig rundown - 1985
Too bad Jimmy didn't check out his guitars before the Live Aid disaster !!!!
Where is Les Paul ??
Tried to build one of these but it didn’t work right, now I know why, I had levers and rods, but didn’t have any Gremlins!
you have to get them wet
At 1:47. Please take your hand off my guitar. As if looking at Jimmy's guitars is not enough.
" Don't even point" !
So that last guitar only had 3 strings? Is that something guitarists usually do?
No
@@psychonaut12 I cut off the last 2 string off my Strat. its good for learning, maybe Jimmy felt the same
jimmy used this with the firm..
Radioactive!
looks like eddie van halen hahaha
i knw rite!!!! i always thought they looked alike. Thinking that i was jst watching eddie van halens videos jst to compare n ended up here.
DereMemo especially now
@LimpSideofTheBed Stop comparing, both are individual guitarists. And you know this is Jimmy's video, so wipe off your mouth...Alex needs a turn. Grow the fuck up.
@WhatSideOfTheBed DidYouWakeUpOn Of course not, he plays better. They are two different type of players btw.
Recorded "shortly after the Led Zeppelin reunion". What asshole thinks Led Zeppelin reunited? Tell it to John Bonham's grave, ok? The surviving members of Led Zeppelin have said repeatedly, for decades now, that the band ceased to be after Bonham's death. Led Zeppelin has never reunited and can not because their drummer is dead...
Thorum13
They have had reunions multiple times.
on the DVD -celebration day Jason nailed it
on the DVD -celebration day Jason nailed it
Nothing, like the real thing, however I truly appreciate the opportunity to have received that marvelous gift.! Because I was too young or revenue impared to see them in concert....my daughter was 2 and born on the day, that dear man passed...
+Rush Ron definetly. i dont know much about drums but bonham HAD to have something different about the way he tuned his drum or something because that snair and that basedrum are unmatched.
B-bender guitar
