lzzoso Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 In your opinion, who do you think that Jimmy Page most influenced among these (or other guitar players?): In no particular order. Joe Perry Alex Lifeson Steve Clark (Def Leppard) Angus Young Ace Frehley Randy Jackson (Zebra) Mick Ralphs (Bad Company) Joe Walsh Billy Squier Slash If there are others that you have an opinion on, please feel free to mention them. I will add a few more names to this list in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagemccartney95 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Out of the guys you listed, I'd have to say Joe Perry and Alex Lifeson. Their styles are closest to that of Jimmy's. Personally, I don't see how Joe Walsh and Mick Ralphs were influenced by Jimmy. I don't hear it in their playing. , Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledhead73 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Actually not only did Walsh sell Jimmy his No. 1 Les Paul, but I seem to remember Jimmy talking about taking a slide guitar lesson from him. I don't have the quote, but I'm quite certain, if that means anything, hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't see how Joe Walsh and Mick Ralphs were influenced by Jimmy. I don't hear it in their playing. , Jo Most of us all know that Joe Walsh is an amazing and accomplished guitarist in his own right. However, one reason why I mentioned him as being influenced by Jimmy Page is because of Joe's guitar playing with the James Gang. The song, "the Bomber", in particular. If you know this song or do not (then I suggest looking it up and hearing it on YouTube), you or at least I can hear plenty of Jimmy's style and references (some Jeff Beck too). In my opinion, beginning around 1:25 in the song lasting to around 3:30 that 2 minutes sounds to me like a less bombastic "middle section" of "Whole Lotta Love" (without the theremin). Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the "middle section of Whole Lotta Love" and all that, but the song structure and guitar tone is spooky! Just set aside the BTO sounding vocals. Compare this to Lord Sutch's Heavy Friends and you're definitely onto something! If I didn't know better, I would buy this as Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Zeppelinesque. I have read in a few places that Jimmy and Joe became good friends back in the 70's. Some accounts has said that Jimmy bought one of Joe's Les Pauls from him during one of LZ's early tours when the James Gang opened a couple of shows for Zep (in Ohio, I think). Others have said that Joe gave him the Les Paul as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have said that Joe gave him the Les Paul as a gift. The generally accepted story is that Walsh sold Page the famed Number One Les Paul. THE Les frickin Paul he used for the best part of his career. What price was paid is up to debate, but Walsh handing that shaved-necked, un-numbered 59 to Page is certain. Thank you Mr. Walsh! Here's a little number we call Whole Lotta Love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Steve Clark could be wasted on coke and vodka at 3:30 AM and play any Page riff from any part of song at the drop of a hat. He not only played like Page, but dressed like Page, and wore his guitar down low like Page, and knew everything about Page's life. He stated in many times when he heard Page for the first time, he stopped his classical guitar lessons and decided he was going to be in a rock band. Jeff Martin of The Tea Party is like Steve Clark - but managed to find a way to stay alive. Page has even given Martin his blessing and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 23, 1985 - Chicago, IL The Firm's chartered jet arrived moments after Def Leppard's…Jimmy walked over to say hello to them and he downed a vodka from guitarist Steve Clark in one swig April 24, 1985 - Rosemont, IL Def Leppard attended tonight's show but didn't get to come backstage as they had to carry Steve Clark out after he'd drank two bottles of vodka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This is a great song by Joe Walsh and His James Gang that I think sounds a lot like a very early Led Zeppelin song. (Minus the singing, of course).Mr. Joe Walsh is definitely in my top 5 Favorite Guitar Players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
