Bonham Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 So let me clarify my comment because I didn't intend to pass judgment on anyone who finds some enjoyment in the recording. However, for me, it is not soothing nor do I find harmony in it. It is chilling and somewhat macabre, and if anything, invokes anxiety as an emotional response. For me, when I think of harmony, the compositions I appreciate the most are in the Rain Song, Swan Song/Midnight Moonlight, ten years gone, in the light...... Lucifer Rising doesn't do it for me. I'm not knocking you for your musical preferences, my friend. Just asking you if you recognise it's beauty, regardless of the emotions it makes you feel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a stadalone it's a mood piece more akin to Eno and Fripp than anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing because it sets the mood perfectly for what it's intended - it's perfectly written and composed. Page is a genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I don't know that it would be worth the effort to get something like this together. The majority of JP's work is with Zep so he's not like an Eric Clapton who has a bunch of material out there to compile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyPage1977 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 If you look around you can find all of Jimmy's work rather easily. The are Yardbird collections that feature live and studio tracks from Jimmy's era with them. There are two "Jimmy Page, Young Guitar Slinger" (I think that it's called that)CD's out there with Jimmy's pre-Zeppelin studio work on it. Cabala, as mentioned. That said, Jimmy could easily release a "REMASTERED COLLECTOR'S EDITION BOX SET"! That would be unique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mos6507 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Outrider is a great album. Especially "Blues anthem" and "prison blues". Really great songs! Why don't you all like it? Jimmy had his demo tapes stolen and had to largely improvise in the studio, and it shows in the finished product. The blues songs worked in 1969 when Zep was still finding its muse but come across as filler here--and poorly sung at that. Really the only great stuff is the 3 instrumentals which feature his producing skills that he would put into much better use with Coverdale/Page. The AOR stuff such as Wasting My Time is OK but nothing groundbreaking. The song with Robert Plant is kind of anticlimactic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aen27 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Agreed, too. I think I read Jimmy has wanted to do something like that. He could probobly put it together better than anyone. Edited December 9, 2007 by aen27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveAJones Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) I remember reading that there is almost an albums worth of unreleased material from the Coverdale Page sessions. Perhaps not that much. There were at least two completed tracks left off the album. Jimmy recorded Don't Leave Me This Way on the first take with a 102 degree fever.

ZEPPHAN Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) If you dont already have this, get ahold of Smoke and Fire;Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Bonham, Noel Redding, Lord Sutch, and Nicky Hopkins-talk about a super group Edited December 9, 2007 by ZEPPHAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Starship Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 How about some of Death Wish 2 guitar work on this proposed career compilation Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiseKathleen Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Awesome! I want it! Don't forget the guitar tab book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiseKathleen Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A JIMMY PAGE CAREER SPANNING BOX SET. FROM THE EARLY STUDIO SESSIONS/YARDBIRDS/ZEP/FIRM/SOLO/BLACK CROWES/COVERDALE PAGE ETC. Really, that's a great idea, I don't have all that material. To have it all in one set would be great.

Jimmy recorded Don't Leave Me This Way on the first take with a 102 degree fever. I would just like to hear some of the stuff that Jimmy has lying around that never made it to a cd. For example: 1)a track called "Wanted" from the "clarksdale sessions" 2)"Domino" from the netaid concert 3) a track called "saccharine" from the Coverdale/Page sessions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Dazed& confused"/Domino/In my time of dying/Whole lotta love. Great stuff!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DreamyKnight Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Would LOVE to see a "Jimmy" Thing but let's face it - Jimmy's output since 1980 hasn't been very fruitful and/or as interesting unfortunately as Roberts' has. Over the years I would always hope for that magical and powerful Jimmy solo disc - but it never happened. Not that he couldn't do it, he just hasn't released anything to jump around for. Yes? Never under estimate Page's ability. I'm sure its hard to be as hungry when one has already done it all and is richer than the word rich can even be coined. I have a feeling his best work is yet to be heard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emerald_Eyes Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 How about if Zeppelin doesn't tour Jimmy does some smaller venues? He could do some of his solo stuff and even break out some of the new songs he's talked about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure who he would use for his backing band, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FROM THE EARLY STUDIO SESSIONS/YARDBIRDS/ZEP/FIRM/SOLO/BLACK CROWES/COVERDALE PAGE ETC. I would love it if he came out with a box set of his outstanding career. That would be great. After giving it some thought, what I personally would love is for Jimmy to do something acoustic, or maybe something instrumental type album of just him. Now I know I probably stand alone in this and that's fine. But some of the instrumental in his and Led Zeppelin's previous work I think is beautiful, like "Emerald Eyes" in Outrider and "Bron-Yr-Aur" in Physical Graffiti. They are beautiful pieces of work and everytime I listen to them, I never want the music to stop. It's beautiful. I would love something like that. Just his beautiful brilliant guitar playing. It sounds really refreshing. Edited December 17, 2007 by JPFan-Kimberly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
