  1. Surprised Jimmy did not get any songwriting credit. (Maybe that Jagger, Richards wall is pretty tough to break!)
  2. It does sound a little like Page, I'm wondering about who is playing the second rhythm guitar. (speaker left if listening through headphones)
  3. Tell that to Jimmy since he doesn't say that he replaced it in the book.
  4. Ronnie Wood already involved with the stones in 74 and Taylor quit the band by the end of the year. (according to Wiki) Good track but I don't hear a lot of Jimmy on it.
  5. Per the new Jimmy Page book, the pickup lost some of it's output during the 72 Australian Shows. (Still played the guitar for those shows) When he got back he had Dan Armstrong fix it. He doesn't say it was replaced.
  6. Page 284 Roland Guitar Synthesizer (GR-500) - May 78 Clearwater Castle Rehearsals - Riff became Who's to Blame and also used on Carouselambra Page 299 Roland G-808 (1979 Model-Natural Finish) Used on Death Wish Pge 320 Roland G-707 (1984 Model) Nickname of 'Dalek's Handbag' Used on Prison Blues
  7. First Album or Fourth Album. (Depending on the day)
  8. The Star-Tribune article referenced in the video has a picture of a black Les Paul without a Bixby tremolo. (ooops) Also Jimmy did not use the Black Les Paul on Whole Lotta Love. Per Jimmy Page The Anthology, (Page 142) Jimmy's equipment on Whole Lotta Love was: Danelectro (slide) Les Paul No 1 Fender Dragon Telecaster Vox UL7120 Amp Vox C02 'Long Tom' Tape echo Rickenbacker Transonic Speaker Cabinets
  9. No wait.................that was Randy California! :-)
  10. I don't think it was the Marshall but some small amp; more than likely the Vox AC15 or Vox AC30. Eddie Kramer in a recent interview stated that Jimmy rarely used Marshall Amps for solos but small amps. He cited that Jimmy used a Rocket 88 amp and an Ampeg amp during recording.
  11. Per Jimmy Page "On This Day" the 12 String was the Fender Model, and the Guitar Solos was the Les Paul.
  12. Another surprise in the book is Jimmy says he overdubbed bass at the end of That's the Way. He says he borrowed JPJ's bass and added it as an overdub. There seems to be one contradiction. Jimmy writes that he used an early sixties white Stratocaster with a rosewood neck on 10 Years gone. He had traded this guitar to JPJ for Jones' banjo which Page used on Gallows Pole. I recall a post on Jimmy's website for "on this day" where there is a recent photo of him holding a white Stratocaster with a maple neck and said that the Strat he was holding was the guitar he used to record 10 Years gone with and that Jones had borrowed it from him many years back and it just recently returned back to him. Not sure if he got the story mixed up or that this is another guitar he also used on the track.
  13. The Marshall Amp is not a standard Marshall 100 but a Marshall Super Bass Amp! He has a pic of the tonebender and mentions it (I purchased the same pedal reissued a few years back) He states that it wasn't the first pedal he used. He mentions (and has a pic) of a DeArmond pedal that he used in sessions. He also mentions Roger Mayer who produced a lot of Hendrix's pedals. Funny tho Jimmy doesn't go into the Supro amp too much.
  14. Jimmy Page session work mentioned in his new book that someone reminded him about at a chance visit at Shakespeare and Company (an English bookstore in Paris) Especially check out the solo! FRANÇOISE HARDY - JE N'ATTENDS PLUS PERSONNE
  15. Yes the riff in D was a rip from a Motown track and Jimmy brought in the chorus section. JPJ played the slide on Celebration Day.
  16. Quickly reviewed the notes in the book (and there are many!) Jimmy used the Gibson Switchmaster Es-5 on Candy Store Rock, Vox and Fender 12 string guitars are on Stairway, and Ibanez Guitar (donated by members of ABBA) was used on Fool in the Rain, and Ten Years Gone had a Sunburst Fender Strat with maple neck and a White Fender Strat with rosewood neck on the recording. Zeppelin rehearsed more tracks for the O2 show than they played. Notes in the book say that Four Sticks, Carouselambra, Wanton Song, the Rover, Over The Hills, Dancing Days, Houses of the Holy, Custard Pie, Going to California,, Rain Song, Immigrant Song and What is and What Should Ever be were played. (I did not see much if any notes on the Les Paul wiring changes he made from the standard setup but will have to doublecheck)
