treeduck Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 How come Jimmy Page never did well on his own after Led Zep ended?He was a talented man.Well he had the Firm with Paul Rodgers and he did the Coverdale/Page project. He also did soundtracks like Death Wish 2. He didn't become a big superstar after Zeppelin, like his old rival from the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, because he's not a singer and he didn't sell out, ie no unplugged albums with soft rock nonsense. Page needed another band to take off like Zeppelin but it never happened, lightning doesn't strike twice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 How come Jimmy Page never did well on his own after Led Zep ended?He was a talented man. The zeitgeist had moved on. Without the Led Zeppelin flag to fly under, he was an old timer in a world of young flashy EVH copy cats. Didn't likely help that the groups he put together were also made up of veteran players. If he wanted to stay in the charts he needed fresh blood, like Ozzy got with Rhandy Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have let it go right from the start. It's all a bit too late now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The Who's album TOMMY. What was unique about the pressing of this double LP? Sounds like you know the answer. LP # 1 had sides 1 and 4. LP # 2 had sides 2 and 3. When you stacked the two LP's on your turntable, you only had to flip the LP's once when listening to TOMMY start to finsh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
