With a little help from his friends. Kristy, most of this he orchestrated.....did not say he wrote everything himself.

Page & Jones with a shitty 80s drum machine?

That's just all kinds of wrong :(

Scream For Help.

Sounds more like a cry for help.

The solos don't match the music. It's like he just had jimmy come in and record 5-6 random solos and then just stuck them into songs. Christ- that would've been cringe worthy even back in '85.

It is a scream. And kinda fun....reminds me a bit of trance at first....the guy is so pissed off....opium user...drowning alcoholic.....think it makes him happy. But i gave it a full through. He got paid....and I got to share it with you all. It compares with all of the survivors at the time. It compares with Alex's fascintion with Simms' at the time. I was lead from this clip: at 28:04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8gGP6vmZWU

The best thing Page recorded in his mid-80s smack-addled period was probably this.....

Will check it.....out to hang for a bit...my girl asleep the roommate on his ass with headphones....i am the only one that worked all week....so kinda liked the funk of it as it started. The worst the other part of the band created is truly cringe to me:

Jones did far better on his own with 1999's Zooma. Listen to this shit with headphones after a few beers...

Unfortunately, Page chose to use that crummy brown Telecaster with a Parsons/White string bender on it (you stretch the guitar strap and it would pull the G string up a step or two), thus making every solo he did sound identical. You can hear it all over the two Firm albums, as well as on the Stones "One Hit..." single. Gratefully, he abandoned the misbegotten thing by the time of the Outrider album and tour, which (OK, arguably) featured some of the best playing of his career. The Page/Plant era (along with the ghastly sounding 2007 reunion show), not so much.

Good gawd, what a deplorable thread.

Sounds like some really, really bad Emerson, Lake and Palmer

At least ELP could play. "Scream..." sounds like a Moody Blues cover band trying to be Stevie Wonder, minus the talent or soulfulness. And Yes's Jon Anderson must have been reduced to collecting pennies in a cup outside of a 7/11 at the time to consider taking a paycheck from this dreck-fest. Pure Muzak, yet so poorly done that you won't ever find it in a dentist's office along with the outdated magazines and resort vacation adverts.
