Jimmy Page: Gibsons, Groundhogs And Gin
Of the artists who have appeared on the cover of CREEM lately, Jimmy Page is perhaps the most intriguing and misrepresented.
Of the artists who have appeared on the cover of CREEM lately, Jimmy Page is perhaps the most intriguing and misrepresented. Respected, even idolized, he remains an enigma—a musical genius whose craft speaks for itself. In the triumvirate of rock guitar purity (alongside Clapton and Beck), Page stands apart in having revolutionized the instrument, setting standards that to this day are incessantly imitated, but rarely equalled.
Since Led Zeppelin's split some eight years ago, he has been involved in a hefty number of recording and touring outfits: The Firm, John Paul Jones' Scream For Help soundtrack, Box Of Frogs, Roy Harper, The Honeydrippers, Bill Wyman's Willy And The Poor Boys, the A.R.M.S. tour, Robert Plant's Now And Zen, and of course, Live Aid and Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert.
