James Patrick Page

Jimmy Page is a musician whose name will forever remain a legend, even for those who are not a fan of rock music. A virtuoso guitarist, producer, composer and arranger - Jimmy Page's talents are endless. However, the main achievement of the musician and the work of his entire life was, of course, the cult rock band Led Zeppelin, whose work is still relevant and popular.

The future rock star was born on January 9, 1944 in London. The musician's early childhood was spent in Heston, a London suburb, and in 1952 the Jimmy family moved to the city of Epsom. As Paige later admitted in an interview, he grew up an introverted child and did not communicate with his peers until he was five years old.

This voluntary isolation, according to Jimmy, shaped his character: the musician is not afraid of loneliness and even, on the contrary, feels harmonious, not communicating with people.

For the first time Jimmy tried to play the guitar at the age of 12 - in the attic the boy found his father's old instrument. The disturbed acoustics did not impress the young man, but after a while Paige, inspired by the song of Elvis Presley, wanted to learn how to play. A school friend showed Jimmy a few chords - this is how Page began his journey to the heights of fame.

Soon the young man began to go to music school and study hard on his own. As Jimmy himself admitted, the best teachers for him at that time were Scotty Moore and James Burton - guitarists who performed with Elvis Presley, and his favorite song was “Baby Let's Play House”.

At the age of 14, Jimmy received his first electric guitar as a gift from his parents. Since then, the young man practically did not let go of the instrument: school teachers even had to pick up Paige's guitar until the end of classes. Around the same time, Page began to have fellow hobbyists.

Young people tried to create musical groups, composed songs and covered popular hits. After school, Jimmy entered an art college, but the young man had absolutely no time to study: concerts and performances took away all of Page's strength and attention. As a result, the young man finally dropped out of school, preferring a career as a musician.

The beginning of Jimmy Page's professional musical biography is considered to be his appearance in The Yardbirds, where the artist became a bass player. The first concerts and fans of the musician are associated with this particular group. Unfortunately, the band split up in 1968. It was then that Page decided to found his own team - this would allow him to embody all the ideas that did not take root in The Yardbirds.

The first line-up of the newly formed group Led Zeppelin was vocalist Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham. The very first album, named after the group, quickly gained popularity, giving the musicians the long-awaited fame. Page began to be called the best guitarist of the era - this is how Jimmy's virtuoso playing captivated the audience.

At the same time, in 1969, a second album, called "Led Zeppelin II", appeared in the discography of the band, which again amazed music lovers. This time the reason for admiration was Jimmy's original "bowed" technique: the musician played the guitar with a bow for strings, achieving a unique effect of the unity of rock and blues.

In 1970 and 1971, albums with serial numbers III and IV were released in turn. This period is considered to be the heyday of the band's popularity - almost every song became a hit, and Stairway to Heaven - the famous "Stairway to Heaven" - still remains popular. Jimmy Page called this composition the most personal song that reveals the inner world of musicians.

Another album, the music from which became a reflection of what is happening with the musicians of Led Zeppelin, was "Presence", recorded in 1976. It was a difficult time for the team: work in the studio took 20 hours a day, and Robert Plant, the vocalist, at that moment was in a hospital bed, chained in plaster.

As Jimmy Page later admitted, the group was on the verge of breaking up. The compositions from this album sound very harsh and "heavy", which was not typical of Led Zeppelin. Nevertheless, Paige recognized this disc as his favorite.

In addition, the work of Led Zeppelin was largely influenced by Jimmy Page's fascination with occult literature. In the early 1970s, the musician even bought a book publishing store of this kind and, apparently, seriously believed in his own mission.

The main books for Page were the works of Aleister Crowley, who positioned himself as a magician and Satanist. Under the influence of a new hobby, Jimmy Page even began performing in a dragon costume, which featured the musician's zodiac sign - Capricorn. Also on the suit there was a place for the signs of Cancer and Scorpio.

Since 1980, after the death of drummer John Bonham, Jimmy Page continued to record songs and videos solo, as well as in collaboration with other musicians. So there were joint compositions with Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Paul Rogers, Roy Harper, David Coverdale (vocalist of the bands Deep Purple and Whitesnake). According to rumors, at the same time, Jimmy Page managed to cope with heroin addiction, which the musician allegedly suffered for more than one year.

Since the disintegration of Led Zeppelin, the musicians have twice tried to revive the band, but the matter did not progress beyond several joint concerts. However, Jimmy Page continued to give concerts and also perform at charity events. In addition, the musician has recorded several compositions for films.

In 2008, the musician was honored to represent his native country at the closing of the Olympics, along with David Beckham and Leona Lewis.

Jimmy Page's personal life was no less bright than his musical career. The musician had two wives. With the first, Patricia Eker, the artist lived for 10 years. Page's second wife - Jimena Gomez-Paratcha - took possession of the rocker's heart for 13 years. However, none of the marriages pacified the love of a tall, handsome musician (Jimmy Page's height is 180 cm).

There were many rumors about Jimmy's numerous novels. The most outrageous, according to the public, was Page's relationship with a girl named Lori Maddox, who at the time of the alleged romance with the musician was only 14 years old.

According to rumors, before meeting Jimmy, the young beauty was already close with David Bowie, but preferred Paige, who was twice her age. Another scandal erupted in 2015 when 71-year-old Jimmy Page announced an affair with actress Scarlett Sabet, who was barely 25 years old.

It is also known about the musician's five children, born to three women.

In 2018, photos of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones reappeared in the news media. This time the occasion was a book about the history of the band, which the former members of Led Zeppelin are currently working on.

This will be the first illustrated edition dedicated to the cult band. It is already known that the volume of the book has exceeded 400 pages. The presentation is scheduled for October 2018: it will be timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin.
