    To be honest, none of the elite guitar gods (Hendrix, Page, Clapton) really appeal to me. I know how great they are/were, but their actual music does nothing for me.

    I feel the same way EXCEPT for Page. Have you ever listened to any the official live Zep stuff? If not check out HTWWW (How The West Was Won). It will splatter your brain onto the wall.

    No it won't because he doesn't like him. The fact that Page is considered a legend and a guitar god means nothing if someone doesn't like his playing. Technical ability and standing within guitar circles doesn't really much and to be honest, seems out of context when discussing Page or those sorts of guitarists who are far from being all that impressive in terms of skills and therefore can only really be judged on the merits of their musicality, something which clearly doesn't appeal to Pearls&Stones.

    Dude I could care less about how popular they are or how they're rated by guitar aficionados. In my opinion Page is on of the the greatest guitarists ever. Great riff writer, great shredder at times, but also very soulful. Great musician. (Well he WAS... These days, idk...)

    All I'm doing is making a recommendation. What are you doing speaking for him anyway? You guys on some kind of overreaction crusade or something?

    Because I'm tired of everyone making out like it's blasphemy to not appreciate the so-called "legends" on this board. Basically you told the guy that, whatever his thoughts on Clapton and Hendrix are, he's wrong about Page because if he listened to How the West was won, his brains would be splattered on the walls. In reality, it probably wouldn't make much difference because Pearls&Stones doesn't like Page. It seems to be some sort of crime on this board not to listen to the bands supposedly set out in some sort of holy canon of rock. I just find it very tiresome, that's all. No overreaction but a crusade of sorts, yes.

    You obviously never saw LZ. There truly is no band that rocks harder than Zep did from '69-'73. NO BAND.

    Aerosmith are Zeppelin imitators to the max.
    Ya I'm aware.

    But I was still very impressed at the Aerosmith show. I think LZ is the BETTER band, but I PREFER Aerosmith if that makes sense.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
