WOW!!! A little hostility afoot?
Jimmy had imagination. He was a great song writer first, a player second. I
think he had a bit of a drug problem, that may have added to his sloppy
playing. In the early clips I've seen of the band he pretty tight and on.
Later he did slip.
He's a fine player in my book.... I rate him a solid 4 ____________________

I didnt like being told to lay off the drugs and that I was talking
poop...Man this post is old...
I think jimmys studio work stands on its own...Excellent...His live playing
was bad...Everyone always says its because of the drugs and or booze...How
come they never say his creativity was from drugs and booze?...They always
blame the negative on booze or drugs...What about the creativity it
spawned?...Just say no to drugs kids.

Yea, I feel there should be a bit of respect when posting on this forum.
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone...just a thought.
Everyone has opinions, it's up to all of us to respect this. You may, or
may not agree with what someone says, but on the other hand we should all
be somewhat respectful.
Although we may not know each other in the real world, we do communicate
here, and as long as we communicate here we should keep it tame and
plesant.
I mod another site, and if we have problems with people they are blocked
for a week or two...some are banned.
Perhaps the forum mod here should take notice. ____________________

| I agree about the having respect and keeping things civil...I dont believe
in being ignorant(not saying any one was)just because you will never meet
this person.As far as banning goes...The admin is doing a great job.He just
exercised his views and opinions by banning a few/one person...That showed
the character of this admin and I respect and agree with his or her views. ____________________

i think if u say jimmy page is sloppy and is not good live, then i think u
might have a pole stuck through ur brain.....if u have seen the dvd they
have put out, and have listened to his solo where it is just him
playing.....he hits every note right...he's not sloppy at all.....but now
im sure he probably is since he's around 60 yrs old now, but back when he
was in his day, u can not tell me that that man doesnt deserve all the
respect he can get

Ive already gone through this argument...there is no point in talking about
poles through brains as we said in the last few posts of this thread after
all the arguments before it...keep it civil.
I wouldnt go by the sound of a DVD as your souce of how good live he
is...there is probably some studio wizardry going on in the editing
process.
Ive been a fan of Jimmy's since I started playing guitar...Even then I knew
his plying was not fluid...its choppy and I never know if he is going to
pull it off however he does but he seems to struggle to do it.
Anyway there is no point in debating this any longer...their are people who
view it your way and people who view it my way...whats the point of arguing
over it now...not saying you are arguing however the pole through my brain
was a good start however it will also be a good end...good day

personally I love pagey allround. For everything he has done. However i do
agree his live playing can be extremely sloppy but i dont get it. Its like
one second he is playing awseome live stuff and then a second later he is
sooo slippery. but thats just my oppinion. But sompthing he made up his
sloppiness for was his stage presence and the energy he produced. His songs
(sloppy or not) had huge inpact in the guitar world and pagey haters are
gonna have to face it becouse he is a guitar god! and hes not a god for no
reason

Well Tony, I think Page had a bit of a drug problem. This was his
downfall.
He was a great song writer and at times could play lights out. But the
drugs pulled him down and didnt add to his stage presents.

I'd have to agree with some of the posters here.
Studio playing was phenomenal. Extremely clever and inventive stuff. Kids
nowadays who can actually appreciate talent, like Led Zepplin much more
than the modern garbage bands of today.
Zepplin could actually play their instruments with skill and Robert Plant
could actually sing. Compare that with today's no talent, no melody-capable
players.
In concert, he slung his guitar too low for really good technique and tight
playing and he was often chemically impaired. That didn't lead to good live
playing.
Great inventive guitarist though.
