The first time i came in contact with Jimmy was in 1965 when he brought in his ‘fuzz box’ and played some riffs to the backing of The Manish Boys recording with Davy [Jones] Bowie of, “I Pity the Fool’, and ‘Take My Tip’. Davy was the soloist on both tracks. He picked up the songs very quickly. I think I’m right in saying the ‘fuzz Box was a new thing. Drummer of The Manish Boys.
Did you know that Jimmy Page played rhythm guitar (Instead of Ray who was too busy singing) on the Kinks session?Shel Talmy who produced the early Kinks session said" That Jimmy Page played rhythm on the sessions by the early Kinks (Dave Davies did all the Lead guitar Parts).
I was lucky enough to hear the Jimmy Page Yardbirds in 1968 at Hidden Valley north of Toronto. They were spectacular. Jimmy Page was as advertised. He did a lot of Hendrix -like things but he had a more subtle touch. The band would play quietly while he played complicated, jazzy solos.
@@patriciafoster3347 they had a lot of great bands up there over a 3 year period. The Hollies when Graham Nash was still with them, the McCoys who were fantastic, the Sparrow, a Toronto band who changed their name to Steppenwolf, recorded Born To Be Wild and became famous. The funny thing about the Yardbirds was that Jeff Beck had just left the band and Jimmy Page wasn’t as well known outside of Britain. That changed in a hurry!
page just wanted to leave something that would be remembered .. and he ended up doing just that.. nooooo...... he ended up making music that lives everyday
what happens is Jeff Beck smashes his less paul up in an emotional state in the dressing room, and to the bemusement of all around, because he was smashing cheap hofner guitars in the film "blow up" and then later comes up to JImmy Page, who was thinking why destroy your workhorse guitar maybe, and Beck says 'well, why didn't you stop me doing it"
Look at at that super rare Marshall half stack @ 2:14 behind the drummer, that is a "split top" JTM45 from about 1963 and the 4x12 cab it sits on has the first series badge logo "white bluesbreaker" grill, loaded with the Celestion alnico T652 12" speakers..Holy Moly if I just had a time machine to grab one of those.

It's dishonest of this program to show Beck smashing the guitar without explaining that it's only a very contrived scene in a movie, where they wanted to show some "Who" style guitar violence.
Umm...... I think there is enough context here for the viewer to know that it is a scene from the movie Blow Up. It’s not like it’s an image they just flash on the screen.
Antonioni really wanted The Who, but their manager Chris Stamp was upset that Antonioni cast David Hemings in the lead over Terrence Stamp, Chris’s brother. I never really cared for the Yardbirds. There was a band that was less than the sum of its parts. Every time anyone mentions them, it’s like they’re talking about the Million Dollar Quartet. They’re more a bit of trivia than a memorable fount of music.
The greatest Guitarist simply because of the mystery that surrounds him. He's like the first blues players with all those legends attached to their names, including a run in or two with Satan himself. The fact that Page is old and has his long white hair makes him the wizard he is
You shouldn't use the term "Greatest", when Clapton, Beck and Hendrix were all a part of that period as well. Considering the abilities, creativity, and influence these guitarists had on the future of rock music, I think referring to them as the four greatest rock guitarists would be more appropriate. We shouldn't have to choose just one. They all contributed to the genre in their own individual ways.
@@russellparratt9859 I agree, they are/were ALL Great guitarists, but IMHO, Jimmy Page is far and away the BEST. I loved Hendrix and Jeff Beck, too, Clapton, not so much. I just didn't listen to E.C. very much. I had a one track, musically speaking, in my teens and twenties. So MUCH SO, that I named my first son, James Patrick, after James Patrick Page!!! And THAT was ONLY because his dad wouldn't "let" me name him after Robert Plant, who I have Loved ALL MY LIFE. I stand by my statement/opinion, Jimmy Page is the GREATEST GUITARIST on the planet. Although, if Hendrix were still with us, it MIGHT be a tie. MAYBE. 😊😊❤️❤️
@@michellethroop9054 Well, I think you're writing from a bit of a subjective viewpoint, but I'm not going to argue over it. He certainly put the runs on the board, with his huge input to the 60's studio scene, and then the groundbreaking work with Led Zeppelin, who changed the direction of rock music. I remember when Whole Lotta Love was released. Awesome. Hendrix was a complete natural, occupying a place that no other rock guitarist could reach. Clapton and Beck acknowledged that, but they fed off each other, in a form of friendly rivalry. Clapton changed the sound of rock, with the Bluesbreakers album, then with Cream, setting a standard of heavy rock that inspired many bands afterwards. But, I don't think the musical chemistry of Bruce, Baker and Clapton has been surpassed, because they were the pioneers, but also because of the nature of what they created. It was of it's time, but also timeless. Beck, as a guitarist, has continued to experiment, and both Clapton and Page have acknowledged his greatness. The areas he worked in didn't attract the huge popularity of Led Zeppelin, but musically, he has led the way on many occasions, from the Yardbirds, to the rock-fusion era, to more recent explorations in new techniques, but always with musicality to the fore. Getting back to Jimmy Page, I thought his solo in Nobody's Fault But Mine, from the Celebration Day DVD, was just pure creative genius. I could go on writing. It's a period of rock music history that I've had a huge interest in. 😉 🎸🎶
Anyone on here who dismisses Jeff Beck as some kind of hack has NO clue who he is; they must have been born about 10 years ago. Page is beyond fantastic, granted, but Beck is virtuosic; to compare the two is like trying to compare Jimi Hendrix with Django Reinhardt. Get an education.
Totally agree 👍. Jimmy and Jeff are great friends. Jimmy has said in several interviews that Jeff Beck is better than himself on guitar. He isn't ( lol) but he is a great guitarist.
The thing with Jimmy Page is that I listened to Led Zeppelin in my Teenage years so I'm bound to find him the greatest guitarist ever. But maybe he is anyway...
In another video on the history of the group it implied that Jimmy became joint lead guitarist because Beck was becoming unreliable and not always turning up to play on an American tour which was exhausting and making Beck unhappy . Jimmy at first was asked to stand in when Beck didn't turn up. This video implies that they were joint lead guitarists before that. Which is it?
I believe it was originally intended to be Tomorrow playing and Steve Howe destroying the guitar. That's why it's a semi acoustic meant to 'sort of' look like Howe's Gibson 175
your right claptons body of work is extensive,he is my favorite musician.Jimmy was my favorite growing up but if watch song remains the same movie then his arms comeback you could hardly reconise him.I would of like to see 1975 jimmy with paul rodgers in the firm.Zep had the 10 best years ,but page wasted his talent after that.
@Huck Finn He certainly played on the 'Gloria' sessions but rhythm guitar , Moretti on lead guitar as he did with with the Kinks Vick Flick many times on lead and Jimmy on rhythm
Dave Davies will confirm and often he played lead guitar but credit was given to Page , the Sessions are misty even Page cannot remember , much is assumption till proven wrong
@Huck Finn Listen to the whammy guitar on ''Baby Please Don't Go'' , you will firstly hear its not a Stratocaster and secondly not Page's whining riffs . Page played rhythm as he did on many Kinks songs, whilst Vick Flick played the guitar breaks. Also often the Dave Davies version would be released , whilst the demo was Page which caused immense frustration and being the sixties nobody can ever remember . Page played on hundreds of demos but often not said was he played rhythm, whilst everybody assume lead guitar because he was naturally apt to rock n' roll riffs . So was Big Jim Sullivan etc etc
I've always thought that instead of smashing a guitar onstage that the groundbreaking guitarist of the Sixties should have used their guitar as either a cricket wicket, baseball bat, or what have you...and smashed a cat instead. I know he wasn't English and all {though he did break through in England}, but just imagine if Hendrix lit a cat onstage at Monterrey instead of his guitar. Think about it. I have.
Names have meaning. One of the errors was not keeping the name Yardbirds, was a majestic name. LZ is a damn name and led to disgrace (self-realized prophecy).
Page john plant bonham formed the greatest band . Same with sabbath. Rory gallagher to me will always be the greatest guitarist ever . Pure passion without the limelight.
+mike jones i find it amazing how so many at least see the need to mention he took drugs or even bag him for it and its effects on him when 99 percent of the population today is hooked on all manner of lab made drugs just so they can cope with their menial lives, this guy had alot more stress in his life than anyone iknow and so took what he needed that was available to him to cope at the time and it didnt prevent him from being a huge contributer to music and a real legend and a great and intelligent and interesting man with a true gift for guitar that he was able to share with us.. he also quit unlike all the prescription junkies always making these comments...if u dont have something respectful to say about a man like this dont bother commenting... sick of all the disrespect these days and hypocritical prescription wankers always on about drugs.. and i dont see any of these dickheads mentioning artists they do respect probably because their complete morons with no idea what there talking about
Adrian Rivera: i was never impressed with his solos. they sounded choppy & sloppy. i think the acoustic guitar on "babe i'm gonna leave you" is really good tho.

Oh my god man you were in the same band as David Bowie? Wow. Honor to meet you.
Every soul who came into Jimmy Page's life benefited in a great way.
OMG Jimmy had a baby face ... an angelic face ... so beautiful! 🥰
he's married, i'm single and available
@@iansmith8263
Don't worry, soon you will find your soul mate 😁
@@marciashiraishi5891 so you're saying there's a chance?
I can’t understand why anyone would destroy a musical instrument. I’m so glad that Jimmy Page had the class to not behave with such a tantrum.
... agree .... Kieth Emerson also behave stupid ... and "famously" The Who's trademark
@@estebanposadaduque6415 The Who lost a lot of money doing that. Kind of silly really but it was all part of their showmanship.
If only somebody had destroyed all the instruments used on Agadoo before they'd recorded it.
The only thing worthy of destruction is the system.
Jimmy Page was frugal, no matter how much money he made.
The "KEY" secret is to love what your doing, and love the sounds your making.
Excellent. Thank you for posting!
JIMY PAGE MUSIC EXTRAORDINARY
James Patrick Page the greatest ever
SO GREAT, that I named my first child after him. Seriously.
You got that right!!!!
My greatest at least.........so inventive ...so much feelings...
right
Jimi...then Jimmy....Hendrix could play circles around Page..and wrote hit songs on cigarette breaks..

1:45 - “Little Jimmy Page ...” LOL
Journalists used this quite quirky moniker to distinguish him from Big Jim Sullivan.
Where is the rest of this ???
"And he just..." And i guess we'll never...
That reminds me of the time when...
How could they just leave us h........
What the fu
Yeah I know ri...
Amazing interview. Too bad it ends abruptly in mid-sentence. 😡
what happens is Jeff Beck smashes his less paul up in an emotional state in the dressing room, and to the bemusement of all around, because he was smashing cheap hofner guitars in the film "blow up" and then later comes up to JImmy Page, who was thinking why destroy your workhorse guitar maybe, and Beck says 'well, why didn't you stop me doing it"
I know, I was hanging on his every word. It pissed me off so that I had to smash a guitar.
Fascinating guitar lore.Didn't like him growing up,still don't like Plant but I came to love Page.Awsome musician,guitarplayer
Look at at that super rare Marshall half stack @ 2:14 behind the drummer, that is a "split top" JTM45 from about 1963 and the 4x12 cab it sits on has the first series badge logo "white bluesbreaker" grill, loaded with the Celestion alnico T652 12" speakers..Holy Moly if I just had a time machine to grab one of those.

I totally agree but still... THAT GUITAR! It didn't have to die like that...
It was a cheap prop guitar. The director wanted Beck to smash one of his real ones, but he refused to do so, saying "it was a precious instrument".
Umm...... I think there is enough context here for the viewer to know that it is a scene from the movie Blow Up. It’s not like it’s an image they just flash on the screen.

Back in the 70's, we sat around smokin' awesome weed and listening to Led Zep. I was blown away by Bron Yr Aur
Jimmy also played on Love Chronicles by Al Stewart.
HE IS A TALENTED MUSICIAN BUT PUT THAT ASIDE AT 3:03 TO 3:17 AS A MAN HE IS EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE TALL HANDSOME MAN ✊🏾
This is Clem Cattini, isn't it? He's featured on other TH-cam vids if you search his name. He's played drums on something like 43 UK #1's.
Yes a fantastic sessions drummer like Hal Blaine. Listen to Cattini's work on Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan.

Very good Man Jimmy Page

Goodnight sweet Josephine
Only 2 minutes out of 7 are about sessions, the rest about yardbirds.
Very interesting
Art, is instrumental. The "instrument," will differ.
