- This is my new story on Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. My good old friend Shawn Staples from Hollywood California did this beautiful opening video and helped me to narrate the story. My stories and reviews represent a great value for guitar players, musicians and rock fans. I do my best to create original and interesting content. Hope you enjoy it guys!
So right about Zeppelin. All four were incredible at their roles and each made huge contributions to the overall sound. Though widely respected, John Paul Jones is still probably one of the most underrated musicians in rock history.
Yes they were a true band, each member contributing to a powerful whole. When that broke down somewhat, on In Through the Out Door, some of their power dissipated.
I was around in the 1970s, and in all the music mag annual polls, LZ always ran away with it in every category, incl JPJ on bass. For my money, yes he was a very fine bass player, but I always thought him not so hot on piano. I have many LZ boots and of course NQ was in their set from '73-'79. JPJ seldom covered himself in glory on it, tbh.
Maybe not the greatest pianist, but I was speaking more from the standpoint of JPJ as the ultimate utility man. Whether we're talking some of the mandolin playing on IV, the recorders on Stairway, the string arrangements on Kashmir..... and those are just off the top of my head.
JPJ was so under appreciated.
John Paul Jones suffers from being the least famous least well-recognised member of the greatest rock band of all time. Jones as always never seeking the limelight, but little known I'd be prone to say? Rather than underrated? Most musicologists will place Jones highly on their list of rocks greatest musicians - an utterly masterly musician / multi-instrumentalist indeed Sasser. 🎸ZOSO🤘🏻
In 1970 you could have seen Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Elvis, Free, Bob Dylan, The Who, Santana…. What a music scene.
And Fleetwood Mac , featuring one of the guitar greats, Peter Green.
The Beatles were history by then, but otherwise yeah no shortage of talent in those days.
THE FKN DOORS MAN SABBATH!!
Not The Beatles. They were still together in 70 but not really and did very little live after 66.
And now we get mostly crap!
Page and Hendrix had two different vibes and styles, and both are rock legends.
Hendrix and Zeppelin were two of the greatest improvisers in a live situation; that is where so much of the special magic was created
jimmy page is a rare musical genius, he was not just a brilliant guitarist, but producer and sound engineer who had a vision for what he wanted a rock band to be and shaped zep in his image.
i agree with all said, but lets face it- the remastering of the Zeppelin albums I think these days, should be left in the hands of someone else. I think so much better can be done IMHO. With that said, to me some albums sound better than others.
The reason Jimmy kept switching producers is he did not wish the genius of the band's sound to be attributed to others. They were just good hires for capturing his direction as bandleader.
Couldnt agree more Tony.
@@cmkilcullen8176Keep in mind he didn't have the best master tapes to work with. Quality then was nothing compared to today. Even though he tried to keep everything safe, some were damaged and some disappeared, leaving him with less Quality to work with. And at the end of the 🎉day, it was his babies, like the other commenter eluded too. so I don't think anyone in his position would have turned the project over to another party...
T M L Z!
Thank you for setting the record straight. Led Zep bad mouthed no one. Yet they have attracted a lot of criticism for plagiarism from their peers. All rock music is derivative, it’s simply that Led Zep did it far better
Yes they borrowed some ideas but what they did with it sounded completely new and original. Nobody sounded like Led Zeppelin.
Totally agree and very well said. Other bands were just jealous
@@karsguitarchannel6088 borrowed ?? They blatantly stole other people's songs and put their own names on the songs and denied the original song writers of the royalties they deserved. Page to this day still tries to pass off the Whole Lotta Love riff as an original idea of his which is quite comical but also very sad.
@@TheThompy72whiner
@@Rpont63 I think you have misspelt 'winner' 🙂
Absolutely. Page said that he was looking for four equals and the best of the best. And that's what he got. If I had to pick only one, Led Zeppelin is the best and my favorite rock and roll band of all time.
1000%!!!!!! LZ had no equals. No one came close. 600 million plus records sold. Ten albums. All songs Iconic.
@@peterbartolomeo9574 I love Led Zeppelin, I would say Presence was their weakest album, they were humans and had their off times too. Jimmy Page got addicted to drugs and started to perform under the influence in concerts, the videos of those concerts show he was pretty messed up and made audible mistakes at some points having trouble standing, people paid to see them perform and he disappointed the audiences by not being up to the task.
Same here.
Would you please qualify Led Zep as being the best stoner band in the world, unless you count Pink Floyd sales.
@@johnwattdotca Yes, I agree, absolutely with both. If pressed to pick only two bands, I would pick Zep and Floyd to smoke to. Hope that helps.
Jimmy Page was nice to me he consoled me when my drummer Perry Baggs died in 2012 I’m forever thankful !
Well, he was certainly able to empathize. Sorry for your loss.... and Jimmy's.
@@Sasser2015 thank you
@@Sasser2015good point
I feel blessed being around during this period to see many of these bands live in concert. The Beatles last public performance at Candlestick Park in 66. Jimi Hendrix at his American debut at Monterey Pop Festival in 67. Went specifically to see the Paul Butterfield Blues Band play live, and on Sunday night this Black Dude who I & many other people had never heard of blew our collective minds. Only four months later, again to see Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the Filmore West in San Francisco, the opening band I'd never heard of blew my mind. Santana... two years before they released their first album. Led Zeppelin at Oakland Coliseum...the list goes on & on. What a great time to be alive!
Wasn't Candlestick Park in 66?
@@dennislindqvist8443: Yes. I was a freshman in high school. Phat fingers bro.
Jimmy Page definitely pushed boundaries. he is awesome! Led Zeppelin is just an incredible band!
great players but thieves everybody know it's get rid of your schoolboy crush on Page.
@@tw364 i never had a crush on Page back then. I just liked him as a musician. my favorite love in the band was JPJ. he was and still is a precious gem to me. my sweet baby, a hero like in my life.
@@tw364 I know it's hip to call Page and Zeppelin thieves over the songwriting credits thing but they were getting their legal advice from their manager, Peter Grant who had already been doing the same thing as the manager of The Yardbirds. The members of Led Zeppelin were musicians, not lawyers.
The man who pushed boundaries was Jeff Beck
@@mikefarrell734 yeah Jeff Beck is a great musician. I like him as well as blues music
Great statement at the end. Some bands have one or two standout members, but zeppelin contained FOUR outstanding artists.
Jimi was a gentleman who complimented everybody. Not saying he was wrong. He said good things about good people.
Hendrix and Zeppelin have always been the very top of the Rock food chain. Both are my all time favs. I've covered them both on my channel and will again.
Zeppelin were massively bigger than Hendrix end of.
Jimi Hendrix is obviously great but I prefer Jimmy Page, he’s a musical genius in my opinion. Led Zeppelin are the greatest rock band ever, there are loads of excellent bands that I love but Led Zeppelin just hit the spot for me.
Same here. Loves lots of the all time great rock bands, but Zeppelin and Page just set the standard for me
Page's style would not be what it is without what he borrowed from Hendrix.
Hendrix is definitely the innovator.
First concert, LZ, Kezar for Houses. I was 16 in '73.
Dazed, sunny day...violin bow, clouds show up.
Up tempo full band bit, the sun shows up.
all i could think, 'they're changing the weather! I gotta see more concerts !"
WinterLand like a dozen times and all.
@Chris Porter Thanks..
Guitarist mag about 10 years ago. LZ cover shot from Borders. GP and all since '73.Wife buys it for me. Cover, Kezar.
@Chris Porter Thanks.
it's a shame Hendrix didn't get to hear "SInce i've been lovin you"
That's what I'm thinking
Jimi's playing on "SInce i've been lovin you" is fantastic! By the way I love Jimi's live performances of "SInce i've been lovin you" much more than the album version
Yeah he missed se great music
@@karsguitarchannel6088 you mean Jimmy's playing rigjt?
@@karsguitarchannel6088 Page's name is spelled Jimmy, whereas Hendrix's name is spelled Jimi. As far as I know, Jimi never played on "SInce i've been lovin you".
Jimmy Page is not the type to talk junk either. He’s just that into the music. You gotta remember he was a professional studio musician at like 15 years old
And a Thief ..

Led Zeppelin. Great band with incredible music. 👍
I'm not old enough to have seen Led Zep, only 50, but I got to see Page & Plant 95. Great show 😊
Saw that too!
@@erictrenbeath9680 😊
they hit the stage about 45 min late the first night in Philly. crowd getting restless. then the mid-evil poem thing started. crowd getting antsy. then you see the orange glow from the tip of Mr Page's cigarette. PANDEMONIUM ensued. if i were starting a band i think i could make it work with Jimi or Jimmy.
edit: my role in either version of this band would be opening and closing doors for them
Awesome!
@@karsguitarchannel6088 yea, but i really didn't know that at the time. But I sure became a led head after. 😊
One week before he died, Jimi was staying with Roger Daltrey. Earlier in the morning, Roger had varnished the wood handrail. Coming downstairs, Jimi accidently put his hand print in the varnish. Roger wishes that he didn't revarnish the handrail with Jimi's prints. Foxy Lady was written for Mrs. Daltrey.
12 bar blues progression, everyone played that. They borrowed from each other, its' a tradition in the blues. But Led Zeppelin added their own stuff to it. They sound unique and original, just used some ideas but developed them into something really new and amazing. Unlike many other blues rock players of the 60's, Jimmy Page added notes from Indian and folk music to the blues. So Jimmy Page is also a great innovator of rock guitar.
Zeppelin also wrote and played many songs that were nothing like the standard blues. Check out Achilles Last Stand.
Zeppelin still remains the greatest!
@CEOofYTisPureEvil Thats what it seems like doesn't it
@CEOofYTisPureEvil What a pile of bull you're spouting. Music is a preferred taste, but to say that about Zeppelin lacks I.Q if you're serious if not keep your bile to yourself. They all borrowed shit,The Beatles, Stones, etc.You forget to mention their admiration of Rory Gallagher but no matter. There will be guitarists better than Hendrix in time, but there'll never be a band better than Zeppelin. Sorry just fact!!☘
@CEOofYTisPureEvil no dude the comment about selling your soul to Satan come on now wise up. Floyd great band also but compared to Zeppelin IMO and again it's your preference, me I'll have to go Zeppelin just on musicianship ☘
Jimi was so cool, he wasn't the kind of guy to put people down. I was too young to see him, my brother saw Jimi 5 times. To me Jimi Hendrix was the best guitar player ever. He pushed boundaries like recording from 4 tracks to 8 tracks and his playing and showmanship were awesome. They didn't call him the Man for no reason at all, it's because he was and still is.
As a teenager we would get loaded all through the day and maybe just maybe we would pull out the Hendrix in the wee hours........and we would tremble before his guitars like one celled creature before a magnificent unknowable god
he gets all the attention chet Atkins was every bit as good and then there is tommy emannuel who if you have ever seen is so much more talented then any electric guitar player its no even close
Sort of contradicts what the video says
Yes Jimi Hendrix hung out with Bob Dillan as well as met Leonard Cohen in London.
He had Dillons permission to remake All along the Watch Tower.
He did Muddy Waters , I’m a Man.
Hey Joe is another bands song. This makes it hard to believe he would criticize others for using the music of others.
there's a difference between doing a cover and using the main parts of someone elses idea as your own material. look at stairway. a great song. prob the best guitar solo ever. but still if I wrote that riff I would feel very disrespected I think
As guitar players, we all learn songs and riffs from our favorite players that are irresistible. That's how we all learn. We're worse at ripping off than politicians and lawyers!
Very true, Eddie vanhalen said he first heard tapping when he saw jimmy page do it. And then EVH took it to a whole different level. All great musicians stand on the shoulders of the ones that came before them.
@@donjohnston4215 that's different to like taking the main iconic riff from stairway to heaven and not even giving a writing credit. artists deserve intellectual property rights and credit. I don't get why so many are flufffing this issue. It's just poor form
You got that right. I know a good solo when I steal one and then pass it off as my own. Lol
@@donjohnston4215 There is video I've watched and shared of Eddie and Alex's father playing guitar and doing the taping long before Eddie. Check it out, mind blowing.
Nice bit of researching there. Thanks. Takes me back to my early record collection. It was a much smaller world music wise back then. It nice to hear how musicians of that time often crossed paths. John Mayall helped bring quite a few legendary blues players together.
Thank you, much appreciated!
I wouldn't take what Carmine Appice says too seriously.
So glad to hear Jimi recognized my personal favorite guitarist, Johnny Winter. Say what you will about SRV, but Johnny was the original Texas tornado!
I got to see Johnny one time, wish I'd have been old enough to catch him younger. He was shuffling along, coughing into a rag, I loved seeing him, but it hurt to see him out working in that shape and age. I have an old 34 National, he played on it for just a minute, before cell phones were around so, I didn't get a picture, ( hand to the head, I brought the guitar and no camera !) I agree, Johnny was the Texas original, before the Vaughns and Top.
SRV was a totally overated hack. Johnny Winter was an original and so is Eric Johnson.
@@bobsebring3377 well... I guess everyone can't like everyone. I've played all my life , heard the best, heard some that hurt my senses, never thought to insult any of them , just cuz they love doing something.
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 I guess age has its benefits. Saw Johnny about 4 or 5 times back in the mid to late 80s. He used to be a regular at Summerfest and I saw him at a couple of small venues. The guy was a monster and put on quite a guitar clinic.
@@bobsebring3377 that might be one of the worst options I’ve ever heard
Thoughtful ... Jimi loved Jimmy and the Zep for sure
One guy that truly got Jimi Hendrix was Stevie Ray Vaughn. Of all of the guitarists who covered Hendriz tunes only Stevie Ray actually got the spirit right. We lost two monumental artists when Jimi and Stevie Ray died.
To watch Gary Moore tribute to Hendrix concert
It's fantastic!
Saw Stevie Ray 5 times over his career, a memory I'll always cherish.
That and Led Zeppelin being my first concert.
SRV was an AMAZING electric guitarist and he did a fantastic rendition of "Voodoo Child"
SRV played Hendrix better than Hendrix.

Thank you very much for checking out, great pleasure to hear that! You are very welcome SAHARA
All right! can never get enough Jimi stories. I saw him back in June 19th 1970 in Albuquerque New Mexico tickets were $3 to $5 but We snuck in he was bigger than life in person anyone who ever saw him knows what I'm talking about... top three live bands I've seen #1 Jimj #2 Grand Funk Railroad and Little Richard ( it's a tie between the two)
That's awesome! Never knew he played Abq. I wonder if there's any recordings of the show floating around. Cheers from Moriarty.

I'm an official LedZepHead and I "Thank You" for clarifying Led Zeppelin's Geniuses, (John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, James Patrick Page and the late great "Hammer of the Gods", John Bonham). Thanks for sharing.

Music is a living tradition. We inspire each other across oceans, mountains and time.
agreed
There is No Best Guitar player. It's not sports (or a competition), it's music. I learn-from, and appreciate many different-players, from various genre's of music.
But there is a most innovative / virtuous / influential guitar player
I'm sure there are a shitload of hot guitar players we will never hear about....
Hendrix liked a lot of varying styles. He was very complimentary of Billy Gibbons, among many. Loved classical music. Very eclectic.
Gibbons, another shamefully underrated guitarist...
Yes, close friends.
Loved classical music ? Where did you get this from... I dont hear it anywhere.. I played classical music for years before electric guitar. In an orchestra, quartets/quintets, duos with flute, violin... umm, nowhere I hear anythin like "classical music" in Hendrix.
He was a raw Chuck Berry style person, guitar player .. and that was soo GOOD 😎 why make him something he wasnt ?
@@tomasvanecek8626 He loved Bach-at one point he stayed in a flat where Bach stayed-look it up.
He was an outspoken fan of Rory Gallagher as well. Hendrix was just pure music in human form.
The "Len Zeflin" poster was from the Zep show at Gonzaga University's Kennedy Pavilion show in Spokane, Wa. I was a kid back then and saw several great shows at that venue.
I often wondered what Jimi thought of Zeppelin, but unfortunately, he did not live to see what they achieved. I cannot imagine Hendrix listening to Page's solo on You Shook Me without being impressed. I also read that Page said something along the lines of "we lost the best guitarist we had when Hendrix died." It is so hard to believe that Hendrix was over 50 years ago, but totally believable that he is still held as the most groundbreaking electric guitarist who ever lived. When Eddie Van Halen passed away my first thought was that the only guitar player more important than EVH was Hendrix. That said, PAGE is still one of the most important and meaningful guitarist of my life. He hit me in a way that will haunt and excite me for the rest of my life. However Hendrix totally made me re-think guitar playing and forever had me hear music in a different way. I don't know if I had not understood Hendrix that I would have understood Mozart.
I don’t believe Hendrix would say bad or negative things about other musicians, even if he didn’t like them. He didn’t seem like that kind of musician/person
Carmine Appice is a hater. He’s always making negative or backhanded compliments towards Zeppelin.
His brother is a far superior and more creative drummer too.
Egomaniac.... always downplays Tommy Aldridge, or anyone else, to make himself seem important. Tommy will be remembered for a stellar career with major artists and longevity; while Carmine will be remembered for the gay Village People mustache....
They toured with Vanilla Fudge on their USA debut.
They blew past Vanilla Fudge
Probably thinks he's better than Bonzo
Carmine was excellent in Cactus
Saw him & Jimi Hendrix in 1970
Likely because Bonham was more famous yet Carmine's still alive to be reminded of it.
When a band continuously calls themselves or acts like they are the best they should expect negative thoughts or comments from their peers.
My mate spent the whole of the 70s buying two of his favourite albums. One to play and one to seal up. He also had a case made of I believe cedar because it acts like a humidor and keeps the vinyl in optimum atmospheric conditions.
I respect Hendrix And page for their own innovation and voicing. Hendrix stole just as much as page. Page had more time to explore And was more diverse. Hendrix definitely had an intensity nobody else would ever approach. Ever. And they would both respect each other because they are both fucking amazing and brilliant in their own veins. They both had great bandmates that made them shine. It's like apples And oranges Man. They don't both satisfy the same cravings. But they both rule. It's not a contest. If you think it is then you lost.
I totally agree!
Can you tell me who did Jimi Hendrix stole from?
@@jamesgarcia7527 Cream, sunshine of your love. but he "borrowed it". lol! Jimi loved Cream and good friends with Eric Clapton so I'm sure they didn't mind.
@@pnollen2 I remember hearing a tribute to cream because cream was breaking up but i never seen it on a jimi Hendrix album and its just a question. Jimi Hendrix is original the only songs he covered was hound dog,killing floor sunshine of your love, tax free
Hendrix didn’t steal anything. Don’t try to rewrite history. So many Zep apologists nowadays
Hendrix, Clapton, Paige, Beck, Gilmore, Richards, Gallagher, Blackmore...seriously, an EPIC time for music.
I don't know about Blackmore, really, was he that much better, to be in the list.....
@@natewhite455 I forgot Gilmore 😉
@@natewhite455 Yes, and also Malmsteen. I am not a fan of Malmsteen (despite being Swedish) and can hardly listen to him but he is definitely the best technically in the past. Today there are so many good guitarists.
@@natewhite455 Are you kidding? Blackmore took rock in a different direction than the others, infusing classical modes and scales into his solos and writings, and with a technique that was unique, fast and extremely clean. With his playing, he laid the foundations of modern hard rock and neo-classical, whereas the others, with the exception of Iommi, were more blues based.
Page and Zeppelins catalog are amazing and Jimi knew it too
Well Jimmy helped write it, played on it, and produced Beck's Bolero, don't know why they complain that he sounds like that.
Seen tons of jimi interviews he never really had a bad word for anything or anybody by far thee forever greatest guitar player of forever
Hendrix did Elvis Presley, Blue Suede Shoes, Manager, Alan Douglas, Great Jam, he did a good job Playing it....
Jimi was a really nice guy he didn’t diss other musicians whether the Beatles, the Stones, Cream or anyone else.
He was above all the slagging off other musicians that less talented less classy guys did.
If he had lived in 85 imagine him, Page, Beck, Gilmore, Santana, Eddie Van Halen and the other true greats on stage together playing to the world.
If only
Back in the early 70s I got my info from cream rock magazine always thought there was mutual respect between both Jimmy’s unfortunately Hendrix Wasn’t around long enough to really appreciate the band of Led Zeppelin but there wouldn’t be a Led Zeppelin without a Jimi Hendrix.. Led Zeppelin the greatest band in rock ‘n’ roll my opinion
Jimi&Jimmy Yeah Man Tops to Heaven
Fly to the Heavens
Hands down Zeppelin in my opinion are the best ever too
Right..... but after Jimi Hendrix.
WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT HENDRIX HAD ABSOLUTELY ZERO TO DO WITH ZEPPELIN GET OFF IT WILL YA
jimmy page was amazing my favorites are jimmy page angus young tony iommi allen collins
Albert Collins is one of my favorite guitar players. I saw him at Antoine’s blues club in Austin Tx. He was also a great showman.❤
I read some where that Jimi Hendrix in 1970 liked this new group called Led Zeppelin.
I just discovered your channel and I know I’m going to enjoy it. Subbed. Thanks👍🏻
Great pleasure, big thanks!
Well done sir! Always kinda wondered what these 2 (Page and Hendrix) thought of each other.
Big thanks!
New to the channel and I'm enjoying all of the cool rock history! Thanks Kar and Shawn, you guys rock!
Big thanks, great pleasure to hear that!
Hendrix jumped up and down at his table at the King Crimson show at the Revolution in 1969, screaming that they were the best band in the world.
Very cool, love all things Les, Jimi and Ed
Terry Kath was a highly underrated rock guitarist.
Jimi said he was the best player in the universe. When he would rip that SG.. some of the best riffs and guitar fills I’ve ever heard in my life
as if. Kath was a monster guitar player and the world knew it.
👋 I don't care who thinks who copies from the other. They all learned from each other and others. But in any case, Led Zeppelin is, was and always will be the greatest group! 🎶👍🔝
Wow, Interesting stuff. I read Hendrix hated Blue Cheer, but that was 30 yrs ago.
Thank you!
Saw Led Zep live on their first Nebworth return Gig.
Fantastic.
No comparison or them please, never ever. I love both of them so much
Bonham was spectacular!
Excellent analysis and presentation!
☆☆☆☆☆
😎
Many thanks for the visit, much appreciated!
Nice video.. Have another listen to Brian May - another totally innovative guitarist.. ~ Even more of an accomplishment having to follow Page and Hendrix!
Jimi was asked “How is it being the world’s greatest guitarist?”
Hendrix - “I don’t know, as Terry Kath”
Johnny Winter was in his own World,
As far as your closing statement goes... I concur, was lucky enough to see them twice...
I have the 50th Anniversary Electric Lady Land box. One of the extra LP's is Live at the Hollywood Bowl , and it includes an instrumental Sunshine of Your Love.
Im glad Jimi was able to hear LED ZEP's first LP . He probably caught the last line up of the YARDBIRDS in the London clubs in 1968 .
Zeppeliin was what every rock band inspired to be and influenced practically everyone who came after them from Aerosmith and Rush to Van Halen and 80s bands like Def Leppard and Guns N Roses and 90s bands like Foo Fighters and Radiohead and todays bands like Greta Van Fleet and beyond.
Radiohead wasn’t really influenced by Led Zeppelin lol. They were influenced by rock bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Can, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Ride, Pixies, U2, R.E.M. More experimental bands than something like Zeppelin.
We Saw Jimi at them Waikiki Shell 1969. Small outdoor venue by the Honolulu Zoo. First night he came out and tried to start but he said "They didn't give me the juice they promised me". But "Did any of your friends not get tickets? Tomorrow night and Sunday night two free concerts!" So Saturday he was leading up to Foxy Lady for awhile and someone said look at the moon ❗ It was a full moon and when it got directly overhead he got down. Fantastic experience I'll never forget.☮️💗
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Very cool man. I already sub'd the past time I watched one of your vids brother. Rock on sir!
🤟♥️
Many thanks, much appreciated!!! Rock on
When Jimi came into the scene, all of a sudden everyone else was looking up.
Id love to know what jimi thought of tony iommi and black sabbath. I think black sabbath was a natural progression to jimi. Tony sure pulled off amazing riffs. Listen to black sabbath 1970 lausanne concert. I wonder if jimi heard of it.
Jimi Hendrix Experience performance on A Happening For Lulu was not stopped , it just ran over time .
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
SOO FUN GREAT VIDEO..!!
Big thanks!
It was my good fortune to see Led Zep open for the Who in 1969. I thought Zep had wiped them off the stage. How wrong I was. I never saw a better concert.
Jimi personally told ME that he digs Zeppelin.
Awesome! When and where was that?
LMAO...Sure he did....
sometimes its hard to find the real truth especially when it comes to what different musicians think of each other i am glad someone has clarified that jimi hendrix did in fact appreciate the music of led zeppelin another interesting fact is that acdc and the rolling stones were once rivals but are now the best of friends and have been that way for many years also keith richards is a big fan of angus young
Zeppelin is incredible...I saw raw footage of Zeppelin...just their equipment an plants raw Voice....and it sounded so close to a perfect studio mix version of their album....I got a whole new respect for Zeppelin because I love Deep Purple Equally...may because I sing I give the nod to Zep because of Plant...even Ian in purple was my hero... Robert Plants technique was a couple levels above all...just the way he could strecth a word of Jimmy's guitar licks... always left bewildered he would use one word and make two lines of lyrics out of it...
No one ever did that ever....in any genre of music not even Pavarotti....that would be a duet of duets... hahaha hahaha
You should hear him Before Page Found him Band of Joy ^68 ish Bonham on The Big Bombs
Led Zeppelin II is one of my favorite records, awesome album, great sound and energy! It was my first Led Zeppelin album. I loved immediately Jimmy Page's guitar sound. Unique band
I became a Rock and Roll fan early in my youth because my brother was 10 yrs older and played riffs like "Heartbreaker" on guitar. He had friends that became my friends at 15 or so who'd seen me grow up. Bill and Greg Winters were 2 brothers who were both awesome musicians and had gotten me into Rush, Zeppelin, Hendrix at a very young age. Watching someone play right in front of me and then hearing the songs come on the radio sounding identical to me was like magic!
I moved alot between Philly and Florida as a kid and I'd join the school baseball team (or football, basketball) and then move only to find that at my new school it was too late to join a team. It happened often but, there was one team at every school that had no deadlines to join. It was the team of kids in the Rock and Roll tshirts and jeans with the cloud of smoke over their heads and the radio playing. Laughing a little too loud. So I could always find kids with common interests non matter where I moved!
Rock and Roll was my passion, music in general but Zeppelin, Rush, Hendrix, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi too (it was the 80s, MTV was all music television and a very big deal at the time so U2, Genesis, The Police , Bowie, Ozzy...etc .)
My very first album was the soundtrack to the movie Grease 😂 which I think gave me eclectic tastes, plus my Mom was into Sinatra and the crooners, Dinah Washington..) so between all those influences I can get into anything if it's good!
I love Hendrix and Zeppelin. I was given a guitar at 15 and practiced constantly and became a decent player. The opening Voodoo Chile riff was alot of fun to start the video for me, I love that song!
I realize that it's inconclusive as to what Hendrix thought of Page but!! I'm going to believe the guys that said he listened to Zeppelin and it's true Zeppelin is no exception in blues rock guitar and borrowing from others. Everyone in the blues and Rock scene does it...it all goes back to the even older guys like Muddy Waters and BB King, John Lee Hooker and of course Robert Johnson started the whole thing right?
So I figure Hendrix (I'm going to believe) recognized Jimmy Pages talents. It's a shame he only got to hear the first couple of albums! By Zeppelin III and the 4th album they were writing all kinds of great songs, I wonder what Hendrix would have thought of Stairway or Since I Been Loving You? I'm thinking he would have dug it, I'm going to stick with the belief that Jimmy and Jimi both recognized each other as awesome guitarists... the video supports the idea enough for me... Hendrix was nothing if not humble. There's that Dick Cavette interview where Dick called him the best in the world and Hendrix responded something like.."... how about the best guitar player in this chair.." right? Even if he maybe secretly liked the title a little, he was all about the music!
I've never been to this channel but thanks to the CZcams algorithm suggestion I got to see that this channel exists, I like it... maybe come back... maybe I'll subscribe I'm thinkin'.
Nice job, I enjoyed the topic and I liked that little bit of playing in the beginning.🤣🤣 Smoke on the Water really doesn't hold a candle to Voodoo Chile huh? That's funny man! 🎸❤️🎶🎵🙏
I get the feeling Hendrix knew the hippy thing was over and he was watching it happen in front of him. There was no getting up on stage playing his version of killing floor with LZ. LZ wouldn’t have it and Jimmy Page was likely to pull out the violin bow and Jimi would be on stage not knowing what to play.
Like everyone else I wonder what Hendrix would have done. He might have gone down the Jazz Rock path like many others or be part of Disco bands that followed.
AMEN
could you imagine seeing Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix at that club that night?
A lot of people disliked the early Zeppelin because it did "borrow" heavily without attribution for the most part. Didn't bother me simply because they did it soo damn well and I was too young to even know it wasn't all that original. But my love for Zeppelin proved legit as time after time they wrote their own killer, immortal songs in the years to come. The two Jimmys were my two faves on guitar but gotta go with Hendrix as the ultimate - such an original voice in so many ways but in the end it was his creativity, his compositional greatness to be so damn original using the same old rock/blues scale - he was as authentic as it gets. He made most others sound like they were playing the same old stereotypical riffs over and over in whereas he pulled ideas from deep in his imagination and was more of a force of nature - so funky, so bluesy, so mystical - it was high art. I think people will still be listening to his guitar creations hundreds of years from now. It goes way past the theatrics and pyrotechnics - he was the Robert Johnson of the rock era.
Thats too bad, because zeppelin 1 and In thru the Out Door are my two fav albums.
The role John peel[''dj''bbc1] played in those day,s is or unknown or underrated and without him some bands -artists maybe wouldn,t be known know;Bless his Soul............With Led Zeppelin and so many more !!
Led Zeppelin number one, they are in another stratosphere, nobody even close, I seen them Madison Square Garden in 1975 have never seen a better concert since then.
Jimi Hendrix in an Interview on television was asked 'ARE YOU THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD?To which he replied 'YOU SHOULD ASK RORY GALLAGHER!!!💚
John Mc Cann. LESLIE WEST!! & TERRY KATH!! & BILLY GIBBONS!! he loved them all. Not in any specific order that I posted tho.
On the Dick Cavitt show when asked the same question he replied (I’m paraphrasing) I don’t know about that but I am the greatest guitarist in this room
@@Riff5150 no he said "In this chair".
@@antarcticorb9197 Yes that’s right. I hadn’t heard the quote in awhile thats why I said I was paraphrasing
Kind of tough for LZ to steal Jeff Beck’s Bolero since Jimmy Page wrote the piece.
exactly ...sure are a lot of dudes talkin through their asses these days , it probably why they cant understand that jimmy page has shaped modern rock and roll more than anyone else , including hendrix . all you have to do is remember he was playing on landmark hit records in the studio before he even joined the yardbirds ..., and often the reason they were landmarks was due to jimmy reinventing himself to suit each track he was called in to work his magick on .
What makes a guitarist great to me is not their technical proficiency, or even pushing the envelope- It's heart and soul! All of the guitarists mentioned in this video do that for me, as well as SRV, Robin Trower, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, and Andre Segovia, but in a different genre
Jimi often avoided talking about other guitarists, but he was modest when he did. He said he didn't want to compare who is better than who, because it's not a competition.
But that was a competition when he got up on stage to play with Clapton for the first time. And he also told Clapton that Ritchie Blackmore blew him offstage when Deep Purple was Cream's openning act in 1968. So let's be honest that was a competition for Jimi and guitar players generally compete with each other
They did not STEAL anyone's songs, they took Average so so songs and turned them into MEGA HITS. There will never be another Led Zeppelin just like there will never be another Jimi Hendrix.
Absolutely, Zeppelin made that stuff completely their own and they made it sound new, fresh and original. Plant borrowed some lyrics but everybody does it.
Even with Dazed and Confused, over 90% of Zeppelins version is their own.
@@karsguitarchannel6088 that's exactly what stealing is. Taking something and making it your own...They claimed all writing credits which is one of the worst things an artist can do to another artist. Also, the courts sure seemed to agree they stole and that's why they had to change artist credits on the albums.
@@cchavezjr7 totally agree. They didn't borrow a few ideas they blatantly stole other people's songs and put their own names on the songs. They certainly don't deserve to be thought of as musical geniuses but more a great cover band 😂.
Jimi is my favorite live guitarist and Page is my favorite studio guitarists, notwithstanding Jimi's incredible work on All Along the Watch Tower. I try to always remember to use the word "favorite" instead of "best". There is no best, in anything, except for Tom Brady.
and bobby orr!!!
Your channel is friggin awesome
Many thanks!
Both are rock artist ….never be the same without them
Absolutely love both. Anyone else think that the closing riff to Led Zeppelin’s “no quarter” might have been lifted/inspired by Jimi’s “Machine Gun” riff?
Yeah i always thought that
harvey mandel did all those eddie riffs and finger tapping before eddie was born
Smoke’n!! . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !
,,, from what lil i know every word said here is/was absolutely true here !! VERY WELL researched and said!
Big thanks Rick, great pleasure to hear that! Much appreciated!
You nailed the innovators perfectly; Les Paul, Hendrix, and Van Halen. It's amazing that Page never met Hendrix, being that there was a lot of mingling between the guitarists and bands of that time.
Page called his friends to come see Hendrix at a club in England.
He was scared.
Page met Hendrix once but he said Hendrix was totally out of it so he never got to really talk to him.
Always thought Plant saying that regarding what Hendrix told him is very very odd because in the footage of Plant and Page being interviewed in New York the day after Hendrix died, when asked if he ever met Hendrix, Plant replies with a definite "no" and Page said he met him once.
Nice video guitar intro .. you would definitely fit the late 60's early 70's rock scene .
LOL...LED ZEFFLIN!!! 4:58
Funny this vid popped up just now, because I was wondering this exact question last night.
Sort of ironic that most of the musicians that hated on Led Zeppelin and had bad things to say about them... those people were never as popular as Zeppelin and never sold as many records..maybe sour grapes?
Do some face melting bass solos
I believe Hendrix liked Led Zeppelin like Jimi road manager confirmed. Carmine was likely jealous of Led Zeppelin by saying that story which seems out of Jimi”s very humble character.
The more you hear things that Carmine says the more you think he's full of shit !
@@PaulWW36 Nah, I think maybe Jimi was keeping a united front with Jeff Beck when it concerned Led Zeppelin. Just maybe Jimi felt a little sour because his engineer Ed Kramer was working with the Zeps.
Jimi Hendrix never claimed to be the greatest. The world chose him. That's the beauty that separates him from the rest. Long live Jimi...The G O.A.T.
Jimi claimed rory gallagher to be the greatest
Steve Ray Vaughn, enough said.
@@seanrafferty2178 terry kath
An interviewer asked jimmy Hendrix what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world , Jimmy replied I don't know you better go ask Rory Gallagher !
@@Mac-jx8uj that's the one!
