  1. I wonder if they really did or Page was just screwing with the nut jobs who are always screaming about backwards messages and the devil's music.
  2. Yeah, I kinda wonder why he never stuck with anything longer than 2 albums after Zeppelin. I know it wasn't always him (example: Robert Plant didn't want to make a 3rd Page and Plant album even though Page had the music written for it already) but I know he could have atleast made another solo CD. I hope we haven't seen the last of him. I know he and JPJ are into instrumentals. I'd love to have seen them and Jason Bohnam just make an instrumental album after Plant didn't want to tour (under a different name of course).
  3. Very cool, thank you. I'm totally sold on buying Scream for Help if I can find it on CD for a reasonable price.
  4. I did just listen to Thunderthief and it was good except the singing was a little poor. I've never seen Scream for Help or any Death Wish movie. I kinda want to see the DW movies cause the soundtrack is awesome.
  5. As of now I have every Zeppelin member album from pre, during, and post Zeppelin except for Scream For Help and Sporting Life. I've tried listening to sporting life on youtube and really dug the music but that woman is nutty. I kinda want it to complete my collection but I'm not sure I could get used to her. :\ We'll see. I'll probably wind up getting it and trying.
  6. "Oh, you went to college. What was your major?" "I'm a doctor of Led Zeppology."
  7. I think they would have sounded much different and agree it would be very much like what Plant sounded like solo since it seemed to me that the band was turning more Plant/Jones than Page/Plant like in the early days. Bohnam didn't seem to be as influencial towards the end either. I think it would have been better than Plant's solo stuff and they would still be awesome. I just think it wouldn't have been the same. It probably would have sparked a lame controversy too. Like Van Halen vs Van Hagar or Young Elvis vs Vegas Elvis. Bluesy-70s Zep vs Popish-80s Zep. I think they would have broken up in the 80s anyways though.
  8. It's probably come up before but give your opinion on his solo stuff. I bought two of his three solo albums (still looking for Scream For Help) just because he's JPJ and I want to complete my Led Zeppelin collection. I wasn't expecting too much. But after listening to Zooma I'm blown away. I take back all the jokes I've ever made about bass players. It's superb. I haven't got to The Thunderfthief yet (I'll probably post my opinion as a reply when I listen to it) but this album was enough to say listen to him if you haven't before. This album is one of the best non-Zeppelin albums by the 3 surviving members.
  9. I'm glad I could serve the greater Zeppelin community with the good news of the ARMS Concert released on CD. I actually just got mine in the mail yesterday and it's great.
  10. How The West Was Won is the greatest album ever because Page is playing on a whole different level for those performances. He totally dominates escpicially on Heartbreaker, Dazed And Confused and Whole Lotta Love. But that version of Stairway To Heaven gives me goosebumps. So I'll go with HTWWW Stairway as #1. No Quarter from TSRTS is also exceptional. Also I played all the links you've all posted at once and cause my internet sucks only the BBC one played all the way through without delay so the others stopping and loading made them phase in and out. It sounded really intentional like it was going in and out of solos. Like I was being rocked by 10 Jimmy Pages at once. lol
  11. I counted ARMS because you can buy it in CD form even though it's listed as a DVD on jimmypage.com. I questioned wether or not to add it since it wasn't really a Page album but more of a combined effort by a few guys with Page contributing to about a quater of the songs. But it's the closest thing to a solo live album we have and the instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven is freaking amazing. So why not?
  12. Pretty simple question. I could only add 12 options. Session work is not inculded since it's not really his stuff. The Honneydrippers were not either since he was not really an official band member (to my knowledge) but just appeared on 2 studio tracks.

    Do you like

    Was that a Led Zeppelin song? Then Yes! Every song was brilliant. Every one. EVERY ONE!
  14. Too hard to pick. He'd definitely be in the top 3 with Jeff Beck and Roy Buchanan in my opinion. I can't decide who is #1. Jeff Beck: Can (and regularly does) carry a whole show or album with no singing need. Much better solo than Page. Best concert I've ever been too (and 2nd is not even close). Roy Buchanan: Probably the best overall in terms of ability of any guitar player. Never lost the raw feeling in his music that younger less successful bands have before they become big time. Taught Robby Robertson how to play guitar. Jeff Beck bowed before his amazing ability. Gave Charlie Daniels his first big break in music. Jimmy Page: Hands down the best song writer. Widest variety of music (whereas Beck and Buchanan were almost exclusively solo artists). Could rock harder than anyone ever. Without Page 3 great musicians in Plant, Bonham and Jones probably never would have made it. Highly creative (violin bow, mandolins, etc). I don't really care who's #1. Let's be thankful we have great music like that made by Page, Buchanan, Beck, Clapton, Nugent, Hendrix, Vaughn and all the other greats.
  15. 1.Led Zeppelin 2.Led Zeppelin II 3.Led Zeppelin III 4.(Untitled 4th album) 5.Houses Of The Holy 5.Physical Graffiti 6.Presence 7.In Through The Out Door 7.Coda 8.How The West Was Won 9.The Song Remains The Same 10.BBC Sessions If you burn a whole album to a new disc as one track it counts as one song. Plus Zeppelin gets two 5s and 7s cause they're Zeppelin and what can a mortal like you do about it?
  16. It's somewhat of a humor piece but it's still a great read (and totally funny). Do read. www.cracked.com/funny-60-led-zeppelin/
