- While visiting London I was walking to the Royal Albert Hall. I noticed a great big house and Jimmy Page walking into it. Figured this was my chance to say hello to the Rock God.

I dont blame you for saying hello. If I could visit Vienna in 1802 I would definitely say hello to Beethoven if I happened to see him on his front step..
That’s a great way to put it, thank you
I would have done the same with Bach in Leipzig.
I would’ve given Wagner the finger in Bayreuth.
front stairway.
It's not like he'd hear you
"I hope you have a great day"...
"yeahyoutooallthebestby"...he didn't even pause for breath 😆
Not only perhaps the greatest rock guitarist the world has ever seen...but an incredible song writer and composer. He's a worldwide treasure along with Plant and Jones.
Indeed. He's an incredible thief.
@@Eyeofthetiger69 tf
@@Eyeofthetiger69 You'd bitch about winning the lottery.
Far more stole from Jimmy Page including black American musicians.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Word!
Jimmy's annoyed. He's trying to be nice, though.
This vid is all of 8 secs, lmao, and at least he responds. You must get annoyed and hurt just walking out your door 😂😂😂
@@destroythenarrative9034 lol. Good point, and Page is so annoyed that he's lived there for decades with fans all over the world visiting his residence and posting vids, yet it never crossed his mind to install a barrier.
how do you know that?
@@RoryTV1 In Sharkey's mind he knows Jimmy Page, although Page doesn't have a clue who Sharkey is. Sharkey thinks he will some day be famous as Page based only on a delusion that him and Page share a level of snobbery and false judgement which elevates him above all others.
@@DG-sf9ei what the fuck are you on about
I have heard different stories of Page being somewhat rude or off putting to people or fans. But everytime I see things like this he seems more gracious than most. There is a real short clip of Page arriving backstage at Madison Square Garden and you see this either security guard or police man guarding the dressing room and Page gave him this real nice handshake and greeting. That is more than most celebrities acknowledge their security.
He is a normal guy, he just is being pulled in every direction so he hast to make decisions on when and where to put his time. The fact that he acknowledge my existence in transit is more than enough. I think very highly of him. Cool story thanks for sharing
he also had a relatrionship with a 14 year old lol
@@CzechShooter I just remember the magazines in the 70s saying it when Page was on a mission not to talk to the press. And read comments from people on these sites.
@Tom Decuca I was around in the seventies and I can tell you that things were a lot different back then. Led Zeppelin was not very much in the media at all. They were a very quiet band in terms of press. They let the music do the talking for them. which we all thought was very cool. These days it's like 90% media and 10% music as opposed to the other way around.
@@Joe-mz6dc yeah me too. Those were the best years for music. There was no video. Zeppelin didn't do any televised shows. No Midnight Special or In Concert or Dick Clark. It was all radio and what you could read on the back of the album cover. And that was fine.
Bro. You were spoken to by a rock and roll god. This is like a Moses-burning bush moment. Amen brother🎸
Hell yeah. In the moment I was very aware of the gravity of the situation
More like Satan moment don't you dare put Moses in one category with this pedo .
I've been to the house as well. Beautiful place. The kind of home you'd expect Jimmy to own. In my mind, Jimmy Page will forever be the best guitar player ever. The body of work he has given to the world is beyond compare.
All hail Led Zeppelin 🤘🏼
@@alexzgoff Got that right! There will never be another.
What’s the address?
Beside Robbie Williams house
Isn't there any Buckethead fan to argue with this statement? I think Led Zeppelin fans are more loyal. GNR fans are usually more toxic and disrespectful.
Jimmy is a cool guy . Polite and probably one of the coolest people on the planet.
Though he doesn't give autographs to often to be fair
I would take this interaction over an autograph any day!
Dave Grohl is the same. It’s simple. Probably half the people asking for autographs aren’t fans at all. They’re just gonna selling it for a fortune
Wouldn't matter, just saying "hi" would be enough.
The best way to greet a celebrity is just simply say hi have a great day, similar to what this guy did. Most Celebrities just want to be treated as normal people and not bothered or fussed over
That’s probably his biggest fear. He can’t work that lock fast enough.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have a private entrance.
A paranoid little person as yourself will never experience what Page has in his lifetime. He doesn't need a private door when he's stared down danger in one way or another more times than you could fathom.
@@destroythenarrative9034 lol, yeah Mr Collareette is right, Page only made millions in album sales touring with the biggest band in history. One of these days he'll save up enough money for a remote lock or maybe a wall if he could just have a net worth of 5 million vs 4 million.😂😂😂
@@destroythenarrative9034
Are you serious? Hellooooo! JOHN LENNON! He was shot 5 times in the back by a crazed fan who just a couple of hours earlier asked and got an autograph from him. He was just a couple of feet from entering the main entrance to his apartment building, one of the most secure buildings in New York.
No one is saying he can’t afford a “private” entrance. Just surprised in view of his notoriety. I’m still not quite certain about the extreme danger he’s faced numerous times in his life.
@@robertacolarette1594 As if Page or anyone else doesn't know about Lennon, lol. Big difference because Lennon was a douche, thought he was an elite prophet and better than everyone else etc. and was a lyricist, hence the delusional brainwashed shooter. Page never wrote anything, just a humble person at heart, watch his interviews and do more research than being paranoid, as stated he's been living there for decades, and his fans adore him. In fact , Page has personally stated checking out the new local groups regularly in his area just to see what is going on and anything new or innovative. Imagine a legend as Page randomly checking out your band at a local venue.
czcams.com/video/sS1dp8h8-a0/video.html . Here's another example to prove how idiotic/preconceived your comment sounds.
It sounded like Page said..."yeah, you too, all the best, bye." Awesome!
this guy is an absolute musical god. along with jimi hendrix and eric clapton, they basically created rock guitar music.
And David Gilmour, better than them all
@@guymadgesam24 now now, let's not get too crazy
@@trevor5200 I'm also going to add Mark Knopfler, you need a bit of a clean sound!!
@@guymadgesam24 I'm going to add ron wood for his influences as well
@@trevor5200 Yep nice addition
I've been past Pagey's house. It'd freak me out if I saw him, though. You were respectful and didn't hassle which is good.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
My father, a few years before I was born, almost bought Tower House. This was the sale before the one where Jimmy Page bought it, so in the late fifties. He decided against because he didn’t want to have to do the gardening, so instead I was raised in an apartment around the corner in Oakwood Court. Just as well. Its an important piece of architecture and we’d have wrecked it. Jimmy Page lovingly curates it.
Cant imagine all of the beautiful homes that used to be on those streets!
@@alexzgoff It is a beautiful place to live, next to Holland Park and all. But Tower House is unique. There are some newer houses, for example in Ilchester Placem which is the street Robbie Robertson lives on (1950s built) and I remember the houses directly adjacent to Tower House, to its left as you see it from the street. That block, the C19th houses between Tower House and the end of Abostburry Road was demolished in th
@@alexzgoff … the late sixties and replaced with more modern townhouses that had garages. I remember playing on the building site as a kid!
@@francispower1418 terrific memory! thank you for sharing. I cant wait to cross the pond and go back to London again.
@@alexzgoff They say if you can remember the London of the 1960s you weren’t there but my excuse is that in 1967 I was six years old! Even as a kid I knew it was a special time for my birthtown. Sadly it no longer is, which is why I now live in America. So enjoy your visits to London and I hope they look after you well, but I’m happier in New York these days!
You think he’s being polite but in reality he’s fumbling with the keys thinking of Mark Chapman & John Lennon
If that were the case then I doubt he would be walking around the most populated part of London alone
@@alexzgoffyeah but you’re just standing there at the edge of his fence recoding him.. if I were him I would’ve also felt a little off.
You never truly know the people you’ll encounter outside.
@@solaces yea could be, but the maker of this video probably didnt realize that because he himself knows he didnt have any such intentions.
Well, it's not the USA. Lennon wouldn't have been gunned down in the UK.
exactly what I was thinking. You can be the nicest guy on the planet, but when you go out of your way to say hi to a celebrity you give off stalker vibes.
My Mom had a kid in speech class, a guitarist, who once served JP at a McDonald’s off of interstate 71 in Ohio. He gave a speech about it class; he said Page was extremely gracious and actually spent a good deal of time talking about the guitar. My Mom actually asked me if I had ever heard of Jimmy Page before relating the story.
interesting story, but i dont think jimmy eats mcdonalds. but of a health nut and vegetarian as well
@@memoryhead7715 This would have been in the late 80’s/early 90’s (Outrider tour?) and he was with other people who might not have been health nuts. His only other choice back then would have been Burger King or Denny’s.
It was either exit 169 or the second exit up from that, which would be SR 30. The 169 exit is exactly halfway between Cleveland and Columbus.
@@memoryhead7715 vegan
@@memoryhead7715lol he was on a diet of Jack Daniel’s, cigarettes, heroin, cocaine and god knows what else for years 😂 I don’t think a cheeseburger was of any concern to him.
lol. @@skateboarding118
He came into my work once and he was the reason I started playing guitar. I couldn't deal with seeing him as a real person so I went and hid.
Did you work at a guitar store? Did you eventually come out to meet him? Lol
@@alexzgoff No, I worked at Tower Records on Sunset in Hollywood. No, I didn't meet him. I met tons of other people, like David Bowie, Michael Jackson, most of Guns N' Roses, Black Crowes, etc. Page is different for me though.
As you should, as he would want.
This is priceless!
A buddy of mine met Plant once and was awestruck just staring at him. He said “take a deep breath, yes, I’m him”.
Page is a master...and a courtly guy !
I wouldn’t blame you for saying hi! He’s my favorite guitarist of all time. Seems like a chill dude. Would love to meet him someday. Imagine having a conversation with a guy that made a song like “Kashmir”! Incredible. Lucky dude you are, sir! Have a great day.
dave mustaine greeting jimmy page while he struggles to open the door. amazing
no one's giving me a megadeth lol
“You too, all the best…….security!!!!” Lol😂
Right on Alex!! That is so awesome you actually saw him! I stood in the same spot but Jimmy was nowhere to be seen. He was off somewhere being a genius.
Amazing 1/1,000,000 coincidence. Must have been meant to be….
What’s wrong with people last thing he wants is someone shouting over his fence.
He sold his soul long time ago don't worry
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n All that stuff is controversial baloney
That's awesome..... the rock God even spoke.
He's the devil not worth of being God
Good stuff! Met him in Bangkok 2011 spoke for 3 or 4 mins, shook his hand and mentioned I went to Wembley Arena a few years before and loved the Page & Plant concert.
Tell us more!
Yes, tell us more!
Well, he was walking down the street opposite the Landmark hotel I saw him and shouted "Mr. Page!" Went to talk to him for a few mins, shook his hand. A couple of days later he was in Pattaya for some charity thing (Jesters) he was there to donate something for Orphans or homeless children.
That's great. You saw him, and he replied back. Good on you!
I met my hero, Mort Sahl, four times, and despite his old age, and just finishing up an hour-long show, he was the same guy off the stage as on.
I think Page is a kind and decent man. He always seems that way in interviews
For sure! 🤘🏼
You just haven't watched the right interview.
Lori mattox thinks so as well
Jimmy Page did absolutely nothing with a 14 year old girl
@@ChillChrillkeep being delusional
And what a gentleman under the circumstances. If it was me I'd have said "Ricky, bad touch". Hands off the Goat!!
I saw John Bonham in a pub in Kidderminster in 1978, I said "Hello John", and he replied "Fuck off".........lol!
😂 hey he acknoledged you.
Yeah, because you have no right to say hello John, if you would have said hello Mr. Bonham he would have likely replied much different something like Fuck you prehaps...
Uh why didn't you buy him a beer?
That does not surprise me.
Growing up with celebrities in the neighborhood I felt bad for them when people would basically stalk them hanging out around their homes. and this was in Altadena, Ca not Beverly Hills or Brentwood.
I saw Robert Plant was walking around Sainsbury’s the other day looking as lost as everyone else. You see him so often around Kidderminster that no one bats an eyelid. Everyone just lets him get on with his day :)
I wouldn’t even the guts to look at Page, let alone speak to him!!!!
Just dont ask him to sign anything.
It’s ok, I only asked him for a hug, his trenchcoat, and his snapchat username.
@@alexzgoff Then your safe then.
There is well known, famous and legend.
I recall a story that Michael Jackson rented a entire supermarket from midnight till morning. He called all his friends, staff etc to fill the place up. Then gave them instructions to just shop like "normal" people and ignore him. He pushed a buggy around just to see what if was like not to be mobbed by fans.
I love MJ but I never bought that story about him walking around lonely on city streets for hours.
Did he fill it up with kids?
LOL!!!....."hope you have a great day...ROCK 'n ROLL!!""... 😆😆....I mean, what else are you gonna say to JIMMY PAGE right?!
I get annoyed when people in Chicago stop me EVERYDAY ALL DAY to praise my Mongoose Dolemite Fat Tire bicycle ...I can only imagine what it must be like to be a PILLAR OF ROCK 'N ROLL!!!.. I can sense the socially distant adoration displayed by this young man...and only respect him for it. Well done. We all LOVE Jimmy Page and the amazing contributions he has given us all. Well done young man....oh...& by the way..."RICK 'N ROLL!!!"
Thank you for the kind words, fellow human. I agree that I was nothing special for Jimmy, however I hope one day Jimmy will hear my music and we can laugh about this moment together. Your comment really lifted my day. Rock and roll!
Here's to a castle I will take you....as the Zeppelin song goes.
Sounded like he wanted to escape you as quic as he possibly could
Lol...🤣
Jimmy Page went to the very edge to deliver his stuff. So instead of paddling in the shallow pool of whatever it is you think you are, try going beyond.
i think i would be too scared. i think i might just say "thanks for everything"
My guy just had the best moment of his life
Damn right
Jimmy is a very articulate intelligent gracious gentleman who i have seen him be nothing but polite a nice to his fans
Didn't realise there was such a small setback from the road to his front door and such a low wall. Very exposed.
He doesn't drive as far as I remember, so unless he had a driver, a bit pointless getting remote-controlled gates put in.
Plus he lives in London, so driving is a pain anyway.
Pre-covid, he was regularly seen walking about and doing shopping with his young girlfriend etc so he's not averse to being out in public.
He probably doesn't get bothered as much over there as he would here. I'm not saying he doesn't get asked for autographs and pictures, etc in London, but it'd be 100 times worse here in the US. Believe that
When he gets there he knows, if the doors are all closed, with a word, he can get what he came for…
He’s climbing the stairway to Tower House
Song doesn't mention anything about fumbling for keys - lol.
@@Misses-Hippy He wasn't fumbling for keys he was spring cleaning for the May queen
What did Jimmy say after what sounded like....."yeah you too..."
"Yeah you too, all the best, bye"
Just seeing him go inside his residence would have been good enough for me. Bless you.
Very kind of jimmy,l wonder if he ever met Bronson?Great soundtrack Deathwish2👏👏
Cool as hell dude! I would have passed out!
“yeah you too all the best bye”
Good times
@@alexzgoff and bad times all in one
Priceless
Why say anything to him, just walk on by.
jimmy pages swagger cannot be replicated
i would have thought that he would have a secret batcave type opening to allow him to come and go sight unseen.
The mutual respect was palpable…
JIMMY PAGE IS THE GUITARRIST WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IN OUR BAND
Bas ass! I've wanted to go to London and see the Tower House for ages! I’d lose it if Jimmy walked up, but I know I’d be too intimidated to say anything. You seem so cool and composed!
Thank you! I really was trying my best haha
Leave him alone!
I have been leaving him alone ever since that moment!
Jimmy seemed annoyed but he has decent manners to be civil and respectful to you since you meant no harm.
Be well.
❤
Awesome! I wish I was there. Jimmy Page has been my hero since I was 14 yrs old and I still love the guy.
Best band ever
Woke band
It’s hard to know what to say to your favorite celebrities without tensing up and thinking, “Who am I compared to them? Why should I waste their time?” I have met a few. It’s always a little awkward, but I try to be chill and just talk to them in a friendly manner with casual greetings, like a normal person, as you did.
That was rad!
Shouldve told him to make sure he doesnt forget to send Robbie Williams a Christmas card
They're on the same page.
lol
thats GOD!
That definitely sounds like Jimmy🎸
you are one lucky fan
Looks like a little old gatekeepers with his ring of keys and big old lock haha love Jimmy
So his fairy 🧚♀️ won't get out! He's protecting the door 🚪 way with all his might!😁
My favorite guitar god!
Legend
This is single handedly the coolest video I have ever seen in my life!!!
Youre easy to please 😂
Hey I’m right there with ya!
@@shivapejman8155 It made me ejaculate! :)
Stop watching videos
cool!!!!
If that was me and I saw Jimmy Page like that I would do a total Wayne's World and bow down saying 'We're not worthy..."
That would definitely make for memorable day.
lol great awesome
Was crazy lucky
Wow!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Such a weird clip! You can tell that's Jimmy. Where's that daggone key???
I don't know why I have such a hard time imagining Jimmy Page carrying a briefcase. I just imagine him walking around with a minion of some kind.
He’s gotta transport his floating quill somehow 😂
Just remember these celebrities got freaked out by John Lennon death. They never know what stranger’s intentions are
jimmy page casualy looking for the keys for his alester crowley abode
Lucky man!
Wow! Ci fossi stata io avrei avuto un infarto... anche se non è il Jimmy Page di una volta 😔😔
Ero scioccato. Jimmy sarà sempre una leggenda!
Bro just a normal dude hanging out at his neighbourhood
I don't think he's annoyed, he replied politely. Pretty cool video.
That's English people for you. The fact he said "bye" is a giveaway, it's communicating "this exchange is over now, thanks".
this is awesome anyone saying jimmy wasn't just being nice then they are hating
SUPER AWESOME 🐉🤘🏻
Dream come true!
Trust the midas touch
Lucky man! I might have lost my voice, or anything would have come out a croak. Very cool and thanks for sharing!
holy shit!how does it fell to see a god in person?
Un. Real. Still cant believe that happened
Dude Cool
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Jimmy’s always busy!! Great to get such a cool video!💥💥💥👍
I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE SO CALM SEEIN THE LORD OF THE STRINGS WOW ✊🏾PLEASE GOD WATCH OVER JIMMY JOHN AND ROBERT WE HAVE BEEN LOOSING TO MANY ICONS LET THEM LIVE TILL💯
Wow, you are the luckiest person alive to get a hello from JP😊
Good that you didn’t disturb him too long as too many fans stalk the poor man 😂
You could have helped him find the lock !
Was he pissed again 😂
Never heard of him.
Google him
Page is the grand wizard!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Yes he is!!!!
Hes a what?
Of Rock 'n' Roll, and nothing else, and don't you dare look up what Grand Wizard is a rank of.
@@beardtrick in the sense of music he is!
@@chegg5150 I only meant in rock and roll. I know what a grand wizard ranking is and wasn’t even thinking that way when I posted that. Page is the greatest.
wait this is so weird that this is on my youtube home page. jimmy page is my hero, but i looked closer and i recognized you. then i realized that i almost tried out to sing in the mother vibe last year. crazy shit
Small world! Way cool man!
Lucky you, I would have been arrested for jumping the fence and begging Jimmy to spin me some of his old fav's from his collection.
After seeing what most of these comments are about me, I think these people would jump through the screen and crucify you😂
@@alexzgoff I"m a huge Page fan for 35 yrs, they can come at me, I will stomp em all down, and still jump that damn fence and beg Jimmy...respectfully.
I said hello to my neighbour and he came out and punched me
We're not worthy! 🤘😆.
