Jimmy Page? He's sloppy live.

Doesn't have to be a tele. He put a B bender on a Les Paul, too...

I dug The Firm. And The Honeydrippers.
But yeah RP solo stuff is
Man, you'd think that The Firm would have been massive. Paul Rodgers and Jimmy? How
could that not work?
I revisited both albums a bit ago and it was some rough listening. For me. They clearly were not
a good fit. Not enough chemistry. Either good or bad. To me.

Jimmy should have been in Betty Ford by that point, not on the road. I got to see one of their shows and it's was great cause it was JIMMY PAGE and between the crowd noise and bad acoustics you couldn't tell how bad his playing was - but the guy was a total wreck. It was embarrassing in a lot of ways. But the lasers were freaking cool as all hell!

Because Robert Plant is infinitely better in combination with Page.Man, you'd think that The Firm would have been massive. Paul Rodgers and Jimmy? How

God help me if I start to ponder B-Benders and look for one.
Now that's a great idea.

I do think that post-Zep Page has been a massive waste of time and talent. Unlike Plant,
who seems like he may have been the real creative spark and juice in Zeppelin.
By that metric, Ringo’s solo career would place him as the creative spark behind The Beatles…

Thanks! I think I am going to hunt one down and put it in the Edwards LP.
I was playing last night and that JB in there is just way too freaking hot to get JP tones (which
most people seem to over gain and get way dirtier than Jimmy ever did).
Heh…..my original intent with my Orville was to be the ‘classic rock LP’ for exactly those kinds of tones. That Aldrich is way too hot for that but every time I pick that guitar up I find another reason why I won’t touch the electronics ever again. It’s too perfect. I fight with how it plays half the time due to the low frets, but holy shit that guitar sounds so damn good.
Which means I have to buy another Les Paul for the classic rock thing! (Exactly why I was looking at Greco’s last week)

Paul McCartney on Line 3 has a bone to pick with you.
39 releases since The Beatles disbanded to Ringo's 20.

What about a Lap Steel?
I actually have an old Fender 400 Pedal Steel, but it takes up half the room whenever I set it up,
and it is a lot to take in.
I am just really in love with Telecasters right now, which is kind of weird considering how I have
not got on with them in the past. Must be I needed to "mature" enough.

This video has some weird spots
I saw them when they toured in 94(?). It was a great show. Biggest issue for me with their pairing was Coverdale's relentless need to be the hair metal Robert Plant and not getting out of his own way in that pursuit.

Look up preening in the dictionary and you will see a picture of David CoverdaleFew men are capable of preening like DC in his heyday. But what a voice!

Note I said career, not discography. Ringo has been a busy Beatle.
