Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 thanked legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for a personalized, signed copy of a Led Zeppelin “Live EP” on Instagram. Page had inscribed “666” underneath his signature on the gift.
John 5 posted the gift to his followers with a brief message of appreciation. The inscription sparked immediate discussion among fans in the comments section about Page’s known interest in occult subjects.
“Thank you, Jimmy Page,” John 5 wrote in the caption.
One fan noticed the number and responded with surprise and approval. “He wrote 666 on that? I’m surprised, and that is awesome!” the commenter wrote.
Another fan made a brief reference to the moment. “Jack Black was right…” they commented.
A third fan provided context about Page’s long-standing interests. “Don’t be surprised with Jimmy. He loves Crowley, sigils, ritual magic, owned an occult bookstore and helped publish Goetia… and a book on astrology,” the fan explained.
The gift was shared as Page continues to be recognized for both his musical legacy and his documented fascination with occult philosophy and practices.
Page’s interest in esoteric subjects has long been part of his public identity. His collection of occult books and artifacts has been well known among fans and music historians for decades.
The inscription on the Live EP reflects Page’s consistent engagement with the occult symbolism and philosophy that has interested him throughout his life. The number 666 appears frequently in occult literature and practice.
John 5’s post demonstrates the respect between generations of guitarists in rock and metal music. The gift serves as a tangible connection between the Led Zeppelin era and contemporary rock musicians.
