5`10 now. pete says on 15/Nov/11
standing next to Jimmy page a couple of days ago at Gatwick Airport he is for sure 5.11 I am a strong 5.9+ with a solid pair of shoes he was at least 3" taller than me with what looked like 1" flat heels, though otherwise he looked frail and very thin. somebody new says on 30/Oct/11
in they're peak Jimmy sure looked about 2 inches shorter than Robert Plant, who himself claims to be 6'1, so ... believe it or not its likely he want over 5'11. Nowdays they kinda look the same height stevie ray vaughn says on 27/Oct/11
no way was he 5 11 look at the guitar somebody new says on 15/Oct/11
is this his peak height, Rob ? SK says on 15/Sep/11
Greg makes a good point about Page being noticeably taller than the other guys in the Yardbirds (except for maybe the bassist). Look at their old photos. They often had Page standing in the back, sitting down, etc., so that he wouldn't tower over Keith Relf and Jeff Beck, who were much shorter. Also, if you look at that iconic photo of Led Zeppelin where all four members are standing in front of their airplane, Page is the second tallest member of the band after Robert Plant, who is 6'1". In the photo, he is taller than John Paul Jones (listed at around 5'9") and John Bonham (listed at 5'10-1/2" and 6'0", but I don't think he was quite 6'0" because he never appeared to be taller than Page in photos). In fact, if you look at any old photos of Led Zeppelin where they're all standing, Page was consistently the second tallest member. It's not fair to estimate his current height because he probably lost some height due to aging, back problems, and years of playing a Les Paul slung low. 5'11" in his younger days sounds right. Greg says on 12/Sep/11
I would say at least 5'11, probably 6ft when younger; if you catch some of the older photos/videos of the Yardbirds, he's noticeably taller than the other guitar-wielding musicians (which is weird because I always thought Page was short). In the pic next to "The Edge", Page is clearly at least an inch taller than him and who knows what their footware was. Robby D. says on 9/Sep/11
He was definately around 5'11" in his peak, however, I read that through years of playing a weighty Les Paul so low, almost to his knees, that the strain has told on him and now he has lost height because of it. SK says on 9/Sep/11
It's possible that he's lost some height over the years (he's 68). Plus, he's had back problems, so his posture isn't what it used to be, but he always looked like a solid 5'11" when he was younger (that was tall for British rock stars of that era). Just look at the "Song Remains the Same" concert. When he stands next to the 6'1" Robert Plant, he looks about 2 inches or so shorter than him. Page is wearing flat shoes. Plant is wearing boots. The person who assumes that Page must be smaller because Les Pauls are "small" guitars ignores the fact that Page also played that iconic doublenecked Gibson EDS. If Page were any shorter, it would have looked ridiculously huge on him, but it didn't. Moi says on 19/Aug/11
Well as you get older you get a little shorter. Jimmy was 5ft 11" back in the 7Os I believe but since age has caught up, now he's 5ft9"-5ft10" fripouille says on 30/Jul/11
if the edge is Edge is 5'10" and a picture of jimmy with the edge and jack white, you can see, that jimmy is about 5'10" at the very most!!! --- Click Here Steven says on 1/Jun/11
He was pretty skinny back in the day, Les Pauls are small guitars and he doesn't have alot of slack on that strap. So, he looks alot taller than he really is. Can't be taller than 5'9-5'10 310Remy says on 28/May/11
At the guitar center in Hollywood they have Page's handprints in cement as a part of their rock walk. I put my hands in his mold, mine hand are bigger and I'm 5'10. I don't have particularly large hands or long fingers. I'm going with Page at 5'9-5'10.5 tops. Any one who thinks that the guys in Led Zepplin were 6ft or over is seriously retarded. British rockers are known for being little dudes. me says on 18/Feb/11
@Phil
The les paul is a small guitar with a small fretboard and body. Surprised the heck out of me seeing how small it really is at the guitar center. Always thought it was big like the jazz guitars. Mark Corrigan says on 13/Feb/11
I met him in Novemeber and I'm 5'8". Let me put it this way, he's maybe an inch taller than me, if that! Anonymous says on 13/Feb/11

I'm pretty sure Jimmy Page is 180cm tall. I've been next to him and he was just as tall as I am. LG69 says on 3/Nov/10
Jimmy has always looked 5'10" to me, but he's very skinny so that can make somebody look taller. I don't think he was 5'11". Robert Plant looked about 5'11" in his prime. Hey "mp", NO WAY is Plant 6'3". If he was wearing 3" heels maybe, but not barefooted. |
