Unquestionably one of the all-time most influential, important, and
versatile guitarists and songwriters in rock history is Jimmy Page.
Just about every rock guitarist from the late '60s/early '70s to the
present day has been influenced by Page's work with Led Zeppelin -
- his monolithic riffs served as a blueprint for what would eventually
become heavy metal, yet he refused to be pigeonholed to any single
musical style (touching upon folk, country, funk, blues, and other
genres). Page also lent a hand in writing (or co-writing) Zeppelin's
vast array of classic songs and produced all their albums. Born on
January 9, 1944, in Heston, Middlesex, England, Page picked up the
guitar at age 13 after being inspired by the Elvis Presley tune "Baby
Let's Play House," and while he took several lessons, was mostly self
-taught. Instead of attending college right after high school, Page
decided to join his first real rock band, Neil Christian & the
Crusaders, whom he toured England with. But Page fell seriously ill
(with glandular fever) and was forced to quit and recuperate.
Dejected, Page pondered giving up music and focusing on another
interest, painting, as he enrolled at an art college in Sutton,
Surrey.
With the emergence of such bands as the Rolling Stones in the early
'60s and their gritty blues-rock, Page's interest in music perked up
once again -- but instead of forming a band right away, he decided to
hone his craft by becoming one of England's top session guitarists and
producers. Although the exact specifics of which sessions he was
involved with have become hazy over time, it's confirmed that he
worked with many of the day's top acts, including the Who, Them,
Donovan, the Kinks, and the Rolling Stones, among others. By 1966,
Page was looking to put his session work on hold and join a full-time
band; he accepted an offer to play with the Yardbirds (initially as a
bassist, then shortly thereafter as a guitarist), as he was paired up
with another one of rock's all-time guitar greats, Jeff Beck. Although
the Yardbirds began as a straight-ahead blues-rock band, with the
inclusion of Page in the lineup, the group began experimenting with
psychedelic and hard rock styles.
Despite it being obvious that the Yardbirds were on the downside of
their career (Beck left shortly after Page came onboard), Page
appeared on the album Little Games and several tours before the band
finally called it a day in 1968. With a string of tour dates still set
up throughout Europe, Page decided to go through with the shows and
put together a new band who was dubbed the New Yardbirds -- including
longtime session bassist John Paul Jones, plus newcomers Robert Plant
on vocals and John Bonham on drums. After the completion of their
initial tour, the band changed their name to Led Zeppelin and explored
the still largely uncharted territory of hard rock/heavy metal. The
band immediately became one of rock's most successful and enduring
bands, issuing a string of classic albums from 1969 through 1975 -
- Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV,
Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti -- which spawned such
classic rock radio standards as "Dazed and Confused," "Whole Lotta
Love," "Immigrant Song," "Black Dog," "Stairway to Heaven," and
"Kashmir," as the band also became a must-see live act in the process.
Page also found the time to work with folk artist Roy Harper (most
notably his 1971 release, Stormcock, under the alias S. Flavius
Mercurius). Zeppelin was arguably the biggest rock band in the world
by the mid-'70s (their influence on other rock bands following in
their wake cannot be stressed enough) as they launched their own
record company, Swan Song, but it was around this time that Page began
dabbling with heroin and other substances, eventually leading to him
becoming a full-blown addict by the late '70s/early '80s (as a result,
his playing began to suffer). Also, Page's interest in the occult
became a concern to those around him (he went as far as purchasing a
mansion on the Loch Ness in Scotland that was once owned by renowned
Satanist Aleister Crowley).
Zeppelin continued issuing albums until the dawn of the '80s (1976's
concert movie/soundtrack The Song Remains the Same and Presence,
1979's In Through the Out Door), but tragedy ultimately derailed the
quartet -- the death of Plant's young son in 1977 and Bonham's
alcohol-related death in 1980. After Led Zeppelin decided to call it
quits in late 1980, Page disappeared from sight (it became known later
on that he hardly touched his instrument for a long time afterward).
It wasn't until 1982 that Page began to emerge from his self-imposed
exile, as he composed and played on the motion picture soundtracks to
Death Wish I and Death Wish II, compiled the Zeppelin outtakes
collection, Coda, and took part in the 1983 star-studded A.R.M.S.
tour, which saw Page unite with Beck and Eric Clapton for a series of
shows that raised money for multiple sclerosis research. In 1984, Page
guested alongside Plant, Beck, and Nile Rodgers on the hit EP of rock
& roll oldies The Honeydrippers, and formed his first band since the
demise of Zeppelin, dubbed the Firm. The group featured former
Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers, and despite the fact that
their self-titled debut was a sizeable hit, the band decided to call
it a day shortly after the release of their lukewarm-received
sophomore effort, Mean Business.
Zeppelin fans were given a rare treat when their surviving three
members reunited (with drummers Tony Thompson and Phil Collins) for
the mammoth Live Aid at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium in July 1985 -
- unfortunately handing in an incredibly under-rehearsed, sloppy
performance. Zeppelin reunited again in 1988 for the Atlantic Records
25th Anniversary Concert at New York's Madison Square Garden (this
time Bonham's son, Jason, filled in for his late father behind the
kit), and yet again performed another mistake-filled mini set. The
same year Page guested on Plant's solo release, Now & Zen, as well as
issuing his first ever solo recording, Outrider, following it up with
a tour that touched upon tracks from all eras of his career. By the
early '90s, further rumors of an impending Zeppelin reunion continued
to circulate, and after Plant declined an invitation from Page to join
forces once again, Page decided to collaborate with former Deep
Purple/Whitesnake vocalist David Coverdale, whose vocal style has
often been compared to Plant's over the years. Page's latest project
only lasted a single album, 1993's heavily Zep-like Coverdale/Page, as
a proposed world tour was scrapped in favor of just a few select dates
in Japan.
In 1994, Plant and Page finally agreed to collaborate once again
(although Jones wasn't invited this time), leading to the release of
the acoustic set No Quarter the same year, plus a highly popular MTV
Unplugged special and sold-out world tour. A year later, Led Zeppelin
was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this being the second
time a Page-related band got the nod from the Hall (in 1992, the
Yardbirds were honored). 1998 saw Plant and Page issue an album of
all-new material, Walking into Clarksdale, which was surprisingly not
well received by the public, sinking from sight shortly after its
release. The duo went their separate ways by the late '90s, as Page
joined the Black Crowes for a tour and live album (2000's Live at the
Greek). The same year as the album's release, another Crowes/Page tour
was cut short due to a back injury Page suffered. But in June of 2001,
Page took to the concert stage alongside Plant to celebrate the 60th
birthday of their friend, folk artist Roy Harper.
