Jimmy Page – Outrider: The Rebirth of a Legend | Demon Cuts
Jimmy Page’s 1988 solo album Outrider wasn’t a comeback — it was a rebirth.
Born from stolen demos, addiction battles, the shadow of Led Zeppelin, and the fire that never left his hands, Page created one of the most underrated albums of his entire career.
In this episode of Demon Cuts, we break down:
🔥 Wasting My Time — John Miles lighting the fuse
🔥 Writes of Winter — the Grammy-nominated instrumental
🔥 The Only One — Page, Plant, and Jason Bonham reunited
🔥 Emerald Eyes — the closest Outrider gets to late-era Zeppelin
🔥 Blues Anthem — Chris Farlowe sounding more Mississippi than British
We also explore:
the stolen demo tapes
the Bonham bloodline
the Page–Plant spark hidden in the ’80s
the Kramer guitar shock
why critics completely missed the brilliance of this record
how Outrider led directly to No Quarter and the Page–Plant revival
This album hits DIFFERENT when you’re rebuilding your life.
Jimmy Page didn’t try to remake Zeppelin — he made a survivor’s record.
If this episode cut you open, share it. Spread it. Pass it to someone who needs the fire.
