That could be because Heroin addiction ruined his career and his life.


Almost ruined Lennon and Page, but thankfully they got off the stuff before they sank too low.


I've heard some Live Zeppelin stuff where Page was so strung out he was playing in a completely different key from the rest of the band.

This is in the darkest depths of his addiction. It's not pretty.

It also doesn't help that he's saddled with the Worst Guitar Tone Known to ManŽ.

I'm pretty sure he was off heroin by that point. He's just drunk/woefully short of practice here.

Jimmy expresses his happiness by drooling all over the place.

Isn't that the same concert where the roadie unplugs Page about 2 minutes in because he isn't playing anything?

From the same night, check out what Page is (or rather, isn't) playing.

Heroin also screwed up Clapton, and killed Bradley Nowell of Sublime.

I have a terrible addiction that has my chops hurting this week, it's called work: paint,drywall, tile,wallpaper, and all around Joe fix it. Oh man if you get a job, get an easy one.
....Poor Jimmy, that stuff was never meant to be seen. I still say he has some of the most memorable studio solos in the history of rock....singable

A great deal of his live solos were memorable in an enormously positive way.
