JimmyPage (Guitar/Mantolin/Bantorin)

Born in Heston, England in 1944, he began performing in London as a teenager. Jimmy Page is known as one of the most unique guitarists in rock history. His music has deep blues roots, but his LesPaul guitar and Marshall speakers create a hard rock sound. The fast, sensational riff passages and solo are important reasons why Led Zeppelin's songs last forever. Jimmy Page plays varied styles, from British folk to Middle East to Jazz, and his music surges between styles with a fascinating effect.

Band History

Zeperlin Spacecraft Band

Early Band (1968-1970)

The band was formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page. Page first joined the recruit band Yardbirds as a bass player but quickly served as double guitarist Jeff Beck, the former guitarist of the "Recruitment" in a short period of time, and served as the lead guitarist of the "Recruitment" after Baker left the team. The "Recruitment" band is on the verge of disintegration after a series of busy performances and recordings. Page once had an idea to form a "superstar band" with roughly Page and Baker as guitars, with Keith Moon and John Entwistle as drummer and bass player respectively, while the singer's position was filled by Steve Winwood of The Traffic or Steve Marriott of The Small Faces. Although Page, Baker and Moon once recorded a song called Beck's Bolero (this song was later included in Jeff. Baker's first solo album of the same name), this super band has not yet been formed. But during this period, bass player John. Paul. Jones expressed his intention to be the guitarist in Page's future band.

At the same time, two other members of "Recruitment" quit the band, and Page and "Recruitment" bassist Chris Dreja began to form a new band to make an appointment for the Scandinavia Peninsula. Singer Terry Reid rejected Page's invitation to join the band and recommended Robert Plant. Furthermore, Plant, the band’s new singer, recommended drummer John Burnham, who had worked happily with him. Chris. Derega withdrew from the band and changed his career to become a photographer (his photography appeared on the back cover of the band's future debut album). And at this moment John. Paul. Jones contacted Page and hoped to fill the bass player vacancy and was welcomed and trusted by Page.

After the band was temporarily named The New Yardbirds and completed a Nordic performance, the band began to conceive the name of the new band. Zeppelin (or [[Led. Zeppelin.] The name originated from a joke from Keith. Moon (which also includes John Enquist's suggestion), Moon once described Page's fantasy "superstar band" as crashing as quickly as "a pilot Zeppelin". The band eventually adopted the name, and in order to avoid the similar pronunciation of people's "Leed" and "Lead" the band officially changed its name to Zeppelin shortly after their Nordic performance, the band's first album of the same nameZeppelinI was released on January 12, 1969. This work that perfectly blends blues and rock music and is full of exaggerated distortion tones eventually became the pioneering work of heavy metal music. Although many of the band's works during this period were adapted from classic blues, other songs such as Communication Breakdown still demonstrated the band's unique and heavy tone; the Black Mountain Side song showed Page's exquisite acoustic guitar skills; a folk song like Babe I'm Gonna LeaveYou was also carefully adapted by the band in the alternating acoustic guitar and electric guitar. The overnight fame of the first album not only laid the cornerstone of the band's legend, but also allowed the band to successfully invade the US market.

The second album named LedZeppelin II was released late in the same year. It basically continued the overall style of the first album. The opening song WholeLottaLove is based on Jones and Bonham Rhythm Department, which is amazing. The song also became the representative track of the band. LedZeppelin II's success even surpassed the first album and occupies the top spot in the album charts in both Britain and the United States.

Page and Plant are both blues fanatics; YouShookMe and WholeLottaLove in their first two albums are covers or adaptations of the blues legend Willie. Works by Willie Dixon. (The band was later accused of infringement, and it was not until 15 years later that the band paid compensation.) In an interview, Page said: "The Rolling Stones are Chuck Berry's Son, and our Holy Father is Howlin' Wolf. The band's musical inspiration was also inspired by the fat man, the forefront of American rock music. Fats Domino and Little Richard, and the band also often performs country rock music by Elvis Presley. In Zeppelin's performances for more than three hours, the band improvises James Brown or Motown-style Soul and Funk, which Jones and Burnham are good at.

In order to create their third album, Led Zeppelin III, the band deliberately lived in seclusion in Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote village in Wales. This led to more acoustic instrumental performances with Celtic and traditional British folk-style features of this album than the first two albums, which also demonstrated Peppa's versatile guitar playing skills at one time. (The album's record cover design is also special.) In November 1970, Atlantic Records, which belongs to Zeppelin, released a single called Immigrant Song against the band's wishes., WholeLottaLove released by Pacific Records also cuts the song length) on the back of this single record recorded the song HeyHeyWhatCanIDo, which was not included in the album. In order to maintain the integrity of the album, the band has always opposed the release of singles; and, in order to resist the adverse effects of TV programs on their musical quality, the band has even refused to interview TV. The band lacking TV exposure can only communicate with music fans through excellent live performances.

Heavenly (1971-1975)

The band's diverse musical elements are perfectly blended on their fourth album. This untitled album is only marked with four mysterious symbols representing the four people in the band, so this album released on November 8, 1971 is called The Unnamed Album, Led Zeppelin IV, Zoso, Runes or Four Symbols. This album contains the hard rock work Black Dog (the title originated from the nameless black dog that appears in the studio); the psychedelic style The Battle of Evermore; and naturally, the masterpiece Stairway to Heaven, a suite-style masterpiece. Stairway to Heaven is the band's most well-known work, and has been played repeatedly by rock radio for decades, but such a great piece has never been released as a single. The album ends with WhentheLeveeBreaks, which is adapted from Memphis/Kansas Blues musician Joe. The drum music part of the song is strange and outstanding, and it even appears in the sampling of contemporary rock and rap several years later.

The band's next studio work, Houses of the Holy, has more experimentation, stronger melody, longer works, and more use of Mellotron electronic synthesizers. The Song Remainsthe Same, No Quarter and the Reggae-style D'yer Mak'er (also LY's favorite The Rain Song) have become famous works, and this album also represents the band's ambition to hit the peak of rock music. The band's 1973 performance at Tampa Stadium in Florida, USA surpassed the Beatles' 1965 audience record with 56,800 audiences. A few years later, the band released a video that recorded the grand event of three tickets sold out at Madison Garden Plaza in New York that same year.

After the release of Physical Graffiti, all 6 albums Zeppelin have released have also entered the top 200 popular Billboard albums. The band started a new US tour and broke the audience record again. At the end of the same year, the band was in Earls Cour, Englandt performs five shows, and every show is full (in this performance, the band used a large screen monitor on stage for the first time, and some of the performances were published on DVD 28 years later). Undoubtedly, Zeppelin has reached the peak of his band's career at this moment and has become the greatest rock band in the world at that time.

The band has a huge reputation on the stage and recording studio, and their luxury and debauchery outside the stage are equally famous. The band owns their own private jet (nicknamed "Starship") and often rents the entire hotel, which eventually ends up being the protagonist of numerous famous rock gossip news. Many bands have published their experiences and experiences of their slutty life with their band members, but the band members have denied most of these stories.

Later Band (1976-1980)

Zeperlin Spacecraft Band

LedZeppelin did not become active again until the spring of 1976 and released the album "Presence". Although the album reached the championship in the US and UK rankings as soon as it came out, it was frigid by music reviews; similarly, the live concert film "The Song Remains The Same" released in 1976 was not accepted by music reviewers. Eventually the band started to tour the United States in the spring of 1977. However, by the time the show was two months old, RobertPlant's six-year-old son Karac died of a stomach infection. LedZeppelin immediately terminated the tour, and did not say whether the tour schedule would be re-established, which attracted widespread attention to the band's future. For the time being, LedZeppelin seems to be really finished. Plant's second half of 1977 and most of 1978 were isolated from the world. It was not until late summer in 1978 that Led Zeppelin started making a new album, and they began recording at the Polar studio in ABBA, Sweden. A year later, they held a brief European tour with performances including Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. In August 1979, Led Zeppelin held two major shows at Knebworth, their last performance in the UK.

"InThroughTheOutDoor", their late eighth studio album, finally met everyone in September 1979. This is another album that has both reached the championship in the US and UK rankings. In May 1980, LedZeppelin began their last European tour. In September, Led Zeppelin started rehearsals for the upcoming US tour at JimmyPage’s home. The tragedy happened again: on September 25, John Bonham died in his bed - after a whole day of revelry drinking, he was suffocated by his vomit. December 1980,LedZeppelin announced its disbandment and they cannot be without Bonham.

After disbanding, the rest of the band members began their personal careers. John Paul Jones never released a solo album, and he started his production work again. After producing the movie soundtrack for DeathWishII, JimmyPage edited a featured "Coda" of Led Zeppelin's unpublished songs, which was released in late 1982. In the same year, Robert Plant released his first solo album "PicturesAtEleven".

In 1984, Plant and Page had a brief reorganization in the Honeydrippers, an all-star plastic surgery old man band. After releasing an EP with the Honeydrippers, Plant returned to his personal path, Page formed the Firm with Paul Rogers, the former Bad Company lead singer.

In 1985, LedZeppelin was temporarily reorganized due to LiveAid, and rumors spread about their reorganization. In fact, restructuring has never been achieved. In 1988, they gathered again to attend the Atlanta Company's 25th anniversary celebration concert. In 1989, Page re-recorded a box of set albums from the band, Led Zeppelin, released in 1990. This 4 record set has become the most sold multi-record set ever. In 1994, Page and Plant reorganized MTV's unplugged concert, which resulted in the fall of 1994. Although the album reached platinum sales, the expected restructuring of LedZeppelin has not yet been achieved. Over the following year, Page and Plant held a successful international tour...

Although these activities have repeatedly made fans feel that LedZeppelin will appear before them again, they have never been realized. Perhaps LedZeppelin has really become a legend forever. As a rock band with great influence and professionalism, whether they still exist or not, their music and spirit are enough to bring them into the immortal kingdom.
