As a huge yardbird & Zeppelin fan... i never have listened to Jimmy's solo works, only post Zeppelin thing i got was Coverdale/Paige which i loved!

I even listened to a lot of the Plant solo albums! but never the Paige/Plant albums/: i'm a bad fan

So is any of his solo work & so on worth it?

check out The Firm, the band he had with Paul Rodgers. They made 2 albums both were great.

Jimmy Page is a fucking racist hack who if I had the opportunity to meet him,

I'd punch him in the face.

How dare he live in an English country side manor while Bo Diddley died

penniless. He's a thief and I've banned Led Zeppelin in my house.

i've only ever listened to 'unledded' (i think it's called), 'walking into clarksdale' and '...and the black crowes/ live at the greek'.

unledded (or is it called 'no quarter'?) is excellent...all zeppelin (except maybe one new song), with plant, recorded for mtv unplugged. this was my album of the summer for a few years.

walking into clarksdale (also with plant), is decent. all new material, but nothing that really stands out.

w/ the black crowes is all zeppelin with a couple of blues standards thrown in...it's not bad, but more for the black crowes fan than the jimmy page fan, i think.

Where in the blue eyed fuck did this happen?

Besides the fact Jimmy is inspired by many African American bluesman.... he has worked with Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy & hell even P. Diddy... racists? what the fuck are you on man

Check out his Outrider album released in 1988.

Here is one of the instrumentals off of it:

I saw him on this tour, he had Jason Bonham on drums. My ears never stopped ringing after hearing him play Dazed and Confused with the violin bow.

IMO No Quarter the Page and Plant album is excellent, I actually prefer a few of the Led Zep songs on there to the originals .

One day, Jimmy may even release his long promised next album. He seems to have wanted it to be a new Zeppelin album after they reformed briefly 5 years back, he even apparently got JP Jones and Jason Bonham on board. Then Robert Plant wouldn't play ball, Jimmy started muttering about calling it Zeppelin but with a new singer, then it seemed to slip away again ...

For a Page-free but very Zeppelin but modern sounding album, I'd highly recommend Plant's The Mighty Rearranger. That imo is what Zep would/ should sound like if they were active today, a natural successor to the 'Morrocan Roll' of the No Quarter album. So much so, that even tho Page ain't on the record, some people have said to him, 'The guitars sure sound like you in places'.

yeah i'd definately recommend Outrider and both albums by The Firm.
