What is the best Led Zeppelin album?
Yes
In my humble opinion, the one with Kashmir.😊 🎉
IV
My favorite is Physical Graffiti, but most will say IV.
@@aviduser1961 That's why I always say "this is my favorite" instead of "this is the best."
Jeff Koons does a nice job generally but is way over his head on the music discussion. We need Rick Beato to interview Jimmy Page!!
Yeah would be interesting. I don't know the interviewer but man...seems lucky that Jim is such an intelligent guy that could help him through it. Jimmy can interview himself and sort of does by expanding every question into something of real interest that people will want to hear.
The fact that Jimmy is still so intrinsically shy after the life he's lived just blows my mind. 🖤🩶🤍
Soooo real and quite unaffected by his fame. Love love his genuine expression. .
So true to self and humble, very observant of his own world
He's metiond that many times he's very shy and a intervert and likes it that way it's just his british nature many I know hsve the same character
Just think: Somewhere, in an alternate universe, Jimmy Page is famous as the world's greatest triangle player.
Bahahaha 😂😂
I was there to see him live and it was just so mesmerizing to see him live, in person and have the pleasure of hearing him tell his story. Very memorable!
As interviews go…. This is on the high end for sure. I love this extraordinary yet authentic visit with my favorite guitarist since 1968.
@@SpeegBJ I have had the pleasure of seeing and Jimmy page live eight times, and never disappointed.
He’s pompous isn’t he
@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec a little bit. That’s OK he’s Jimmy freaking page.
Clowns will ask "Gee why hasn't Jimmy Page done anything lately???" The guy will be EIGHTY FRIGGIN' years old in January for Chr!st's sake. Going back 60 years with The Yardbirds, some little-known and obsure band called Led Zeppelin, the Firm, solo records and collaborations. He's done enough and his career and music contributions speak for itself...
What a wonderful gift it is to have Jimmy Page explain his life and music. I am sitting in my home office, which is a Led Zeppelin shrine. I even have a Jimmy Page signed Led Zeppelin IV 3 foot x 2 feet serigraph of the album in museum glass, plus a photo of Jimmy signing it.
Happy birthday Jimmy Page nobody like you imo my favorite musician EVER and it's not close . Zep it up🤘🏼🤘🏼
It's even better to see him in the first row and make eye contact with me (you),and sweat on you. 1975 Nassau veterans memorial coliseum long Island new york. ❤😮😅
Very cool
I enjoyed how Jeff Koons allowed Jimmy Page to tell his story. Several times, he would lead into a new question or topic and as soon as Page would start talking, he immediately stopped and let Jimmy be Jimmy.
Ya
Led Zeppelin 1 - You Shock Me, - It was then I bought my first blues hamonica and learned to play on it - I was "shocked" when I listen to this album, and the other songs and albums - Thank you Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin it change my whole life; - Since then and still im playing these albums almost every day. - now im 66 - my head, heart and soul is still and will always be back in the best yester years when LED ZEPPELIN ruled the whole musical universe and will always do...☮🕊
Would love to see Page on the road again...
What a wonderful interview, my guitar hero just love him.
American watching from the State of Rhode Island in the U.S.-Jimmy Page-the Michelangelo of rock and roll-& chief archivist of Led Zeppelin-thanks for for it all Jimmy-& for the conversation. Much Peace!
Jimmy is a next level human being. It’s there in every thought and statement. It’s there in every note. He informs each note with a magic that is all his own. He put it all together, he played, he produced. He invented the lifestyle and the mystery. His enthusiasm and intelligence are undiminished. I’m never going to tire of his music.
Interesting interview. I've read quite a bit about Page and it was enlightening to hear his creative process. He responded well to Koons, even though Koons appeared (to me, at lease) to make comments and formulate questions that were a bit nonsensical and obtuse. If you want to read more about Page - read the Brad Tolinski book; it gets technical (and I am not a musician so I glossed over some of that) but it also did a deep dive into Jimmy and how he works. As an artist (I spent a long time on the styling end of fashion and now paint and work as an amateur photographer) I always want to hear how people get to their end goals. Thank you so much for this opportunity to listen to Jimmy Page explain more of his genius.
My three favourite Zeppelin tracks.
Battle of Evermore
In the Evening
Boogie with Stu
Rip Stu.
Rip Charlie
None of them could have done it without you both❤
Can we imagine, just for a few seconds, if were able to ask Jimi Hendrix, this very same question, before his untimely passing in 1970...Congrats, Mr. Page.
Incredible
Thank you… a Page fan since Yardbirds… I was 18.
If listening to Jimmy Page wasn’t enough… the Q & A topped it all off. Great visit with Mr. Rock-Page.
A decade and a half ago I was living just outside Asheville NC and working in a big red double decker coffee bus parked in a courtyard. I played a lot of White Stripes and of course, Zeppelin. Physical Graffiti was a favorite. Imagine silent downtown streets covered in snow with Physical Graffiti booming from a big red coffee bus. I was in a big Zeppelin period because of course I was. I was living in Hobbiton.
That’s very cool. In 1968 I was living a similar lifestyle when Zeppelin first soared through us.
Still waiting for those live shows
Indeed. Just noticed this was from 2014. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago. Page is now 80 and hasn't done much at all since this interview. Bit of a shame.
This man IS rock & roll !
His music is so inextricably intertwined in my life I feel like I know him like a big brother. Love you Jimmy!
I've been hounding about this for years. I wish Jim would an album of pure acoustic work. I don't need singing or anything else...just acoustic guitar playing.
if you look up bron yr aur acoustic tapes, theres 43min of pure acoustic playing from jimmy
@@anw712 Yeah, I've listened to those recordings a few times. Scratches and itch but something that is actually a good quality recording would be nice hehe...
Not just Jimmy Page, but Led Zeppelin as a whole were the driving force and inspiration for bands such as Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses, Heart, Iron Maiden, Japan, Metallica, Nirvana, Queen, Van Halen, White Stripes and many more bands and singers. Watch the UK Hall of Fame 2006 video from CZcams to know how these bands perceived Led Zeppelin.
This was 2014.
It’s such a shame Jimmy never went back on stage.
I know he recently performed at the RARHF, but he’s almost 80 now 😢
Thank You Jimmy Page🎉 Led Zeppelin. The Greatest Rock Band Ever❤ 66..I Still Crank It Up! Much Appreciation. ))
♥️Thank you Jimmy!!!
The Black Crows......went to HS about 2 miles from me in Cobb County Georgia.....Walton HS
Lucky bloke all these years later and hes still sharper than a tack just ameazeing he talks like it was last week so lucky years later to let us as fans to let him chat about it thanks mr page
Great 👍 amazing stuff ☘️☘️🦎🦎🔥🔥🔥
"Id jump at something like this" ... the ENERGY athis age, indredible!!! 1:00:38
Jimmy seems to be a really good dude......very nice demeanor.
Koons says “all the sudden,” when the expression is “all of a sudden.”
31:44 I like the fact that he knows how good of a house that was! :D
Jimmy, please allow Acoustic Sounds to do SACD's / DSD downloads of your music🙏🙏
I love the one video when a band member statrted climing up a tall hill he cimbed and climbed only to find john bonnam at the very top holfing a lantern
I remrmber thst video in new york the song ive ben workin from 7
I was in the third row and this is more zoomed
Page n Blackmore were in this same vein jimmy was playing a little earlier maybe by one year
What’s with the audio? Echo
The song in.new york.that was sang back then was since ive been loveing you i can tell by the images of the lined. up
You cant beat the tones in a good hollow body
Great interview but the only rock interview in history where the interviewer was on drugs and the rock star was clean lol.
Jimmy did a fabulous job elaborating on the vague interview this guy was giving. Jimmy seems so down to earth comparing how people are these days.
A goid interviewer allows the interviewee lead the conversation and discussion. What we have here is exactly that and this will go down in music history as a great insight into Page and Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page is an icon to the icons. He's such an interesting, well spoken and eloquent music giant.
the best...
Mr page is a expert on.mecanical works musicaly he has it down pat to never brake the cardnial rule
Jimmy Page is A God ❤. ZoSo
The greatest guitarist of our time.
It's pretty funny that he said "one mess up and you wouldn't be seen again" cause there are so many mistakes in Led Zeppelin.
Where's your Brow Ridge Invert ?????
could you please structure this video so that we know at what point each topic of the conversation starts ?
thanks
Jimmy Page is Led Zeppelin.
Nah, led zeppelin would never have been what it was without any of the 4 members. It was a speck in time that could and will not ever happen again
@@dustinclark8155 czcams.com/video/NQePSwNkvbA/video.html
He absolutely is. He was the leader and visionary that formed the band. He was the main songwriter and also the producer.
John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and John Bonham were all spectacular musicians and definitely deserve a lot of credit for their contributions.
Jimmy Page is something else, and Led Zeppelin was really his band.
What about when he was in the yardbirds? Was he zeppelin then?
@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec czcams.com/video/NQePSwNkvbA/video.html
The love, the passion, the feel, the experience. It all coalesced. He's a musician. That sounds basic. It fucking isn't.
does anyone heard the way jeff koons laughs???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who was that carnt who came up with the clause in the Crowes contract not allowing them to release their music in their collaboration with Jimmy.
How narrow minded
How mean spirited
How not getting art and respecting musicians can you get
Gimme his name.
Mr page has ben playing the guitar for so long he dont realize how popular he was and still is very mutch so he is still... the bees knees
Poppy suit...😅 Brilliant. Smh.. heroin is a beautiful drug, an angel, yet a demon. Im glad page came out of it.👍🏻🙏🏻🎸
Jimmy said he was going to play live and he still hasnt. Wonder why
Right off the bat, that interviewer is a tiny man. I met Jimmy and he is a very small man. I'm 6'1" and towered over the guy. To see someone stand next to him and look petite is pretty amusing. I'm not size shaming, just sayin'. I've met so many of my rock star heroes and they are, almost invariably, much smaller than expected. Jimmy could not have been nicer.
Oh yes! Aren’t we feeling the effects of their huge music behind when we see them live. When I saw Mick J I was astounded at his tininess. I appreciate your description of Page. I do think of him as tall and lean so…Zeppelin; One of the few I’ve not seen live. I was 21 when LZ first recorded and I’m loving this interview. ….
haha right sir ? You should’ve seen the look on my face the other day when i made the discovery that SRV was 5’5
Isnt Jimmy at least 1.80 m tall?
Sadly such a great musician as Jimmy Page- seemingly uses most of his time reissuing Led Zepping music, videos and of course his books. But, no new music??- one can understand that perhaps it is possible to understand that he cannot top himself, but I think what would be great is a Jimmy Page and friends tour, with an all star cast of rock and blues musicians, performing in smaller and larger music halls, Jimmy- just play your guitar, unless you can't due to health problems?
Sometimes you just let what’s done be what it is and live how it feels in retrospect. J Page has put out so much… at 76 I’m loving his take on looking back with him at his journey. .
Mr page will.alwsys be the cats wiskers
The great, Jimmy Page guitar legend extraordinaire!!
What a load of waffle coming out of Jeff koons honestly. He is so out of his depth 😂😂
He is fawning over JP like a teenage girl here. Even Page seems utterly embarrassed by him at times. His follow-ups are just stammering and "uhh... you're just so AWESOME Jimmy.... the music... it's so.... uhh... VAST JIMMY.... what about the VASTNESS?? " lmao
Anyone who uses autotune or pitch correction 100% is anything but a musician.
Wait til they sing live lol
What?
Oh they use samples and loops live.
I rest my case.
I never heard Jagger hit a bum note live in over a 100 performances.
And at 80 he holds his own with Gaga.
I rest my case again
i need the subs men
If he was a genuine soul, he would talk more about his influence on female kids.
come again ?
Hows it going guys? Im the guy who scratched Jimmy Pages guitar while doing work at his house in 2016/17, wasnt even my fault - he was on something and trying to have me hold his guitar and let go before my hands were there, i caught it but the bottom swung and hit other guitar and scratched it. The guy he talks about in interviews that is supposed to have ducked him and he can't find him - thats me, only i didn't duck him and he's been fucking with me the whole time. He could have filed an ins claim even tho it wasn't my fault but wants me to pay. He has half way stalked me ever since calling all my employers, random messages here and there. He flips between he is sorry and I owe him a million dollars for his guitar. He has baically ruined my life over it.
So pompous
