405.0. "Page & Coverdale" by FRANZC::Christopher () Fri Apr 16 1993 09:35


I have just heard the new album of Jimmy Page and David Coverdale.

Opinion:


Crap.


What on Earth is a musician like Jimmy Page doing making an album with
David Coverdale ? Beats me .

He could have maybe used the time usefully by doing another album with Roy 
Harper or someone of a similar talent.

Whatever next ?  Kate Bush & Bananarama maybe ?


Has anyone else got any views on this combination of artists or the album
itself ?

    Gee, I feel bad having liked the album pretty much just on first
    listen.  As much as I feel that some of Coverdale's other work has been
    crap, he does have a very strong and somewhat versitile voice. 
    Although, sometimes it seems Page is trying for "a direction he would
    have wanted Zeppelin to take had they all hung in", overall, I think
    it's a good album.

    	I can't recall the songs I've heard from the album, however I
    rather liked them. I am considering buying the CD, my tastes in
    music are varied; in fact I LIKE Kate Bush.

    Why does everyone rag on Coverdale so much?  OK, I'm no Whitesnake fan,
    but I *liked* his vocals with Purple, and he sounds OK on this thing
    with Page to me (although that sort of music aint my cup of tea these 
    days).  
    
    Compared to the Firm, the Outrider LP, etc. this is a step up for Page. 
    Sure it sounds like Zep, but with Page in the driver's seat and with
    Coverdale's penchant for Plantisms and the drummer from Heart (who have
    a pronounced Zep fetish) it's no surprise.  
    
    Sheesh, this sounds like all the complaints the ex-Beatles got when
    they went solo.  Maybe JPJ has decided to lay low rather than havbe to
    put up with this sort of crap  8^)  8^)

    	Actually, I was wondering why Coverdale decided to hook up with
    	a bozo like Jimmy Page.
    
    	But I did like the album somewhat ... there are 2 or 3 songs
    	that stand out after playing it through once.  I'll have to
    	play it again soon.

I think it's got a nice Zeppelin type feel to the music, but then in comes
Coverdale and the Whitesnake sound takes over.........

405.7Page/Coverdale is a great combination.SALEM::TAYLOR_JPickin' and a grinnin'Mon Apr 19 1993 15:445
    Face it...Zep. isn't coming back. This band is the next best thing and
    I think thats its great that page is doing worthwhile music again.
    (Anyone think Outrider was that fantastic ???) Coverdale has the
    credentials and a great voice for that Zep style music.Admit that it
    sure beats the H*LL out of Kingdom Come .
405.8Good stuffSPESHR::WAIBLETue May 04 1993 11:426
    I liked it..........I'm glad that page is back in the studio and
    keeping his own guitar style present. There is too much white noise
    speed metal. We need some real variety.
