Nope, what's sad is your admisson that you troll around internet forums trying to annoy people. Your attempt to bring Fred into this is embarrasing. You should stop now before you make a bigger fool of yourself. But of course you won't, because trolls like you crave attention, as you've admitted above.

You don't seem to get the point. Do you have ADD or something?
I like to argue with people about things I find interesting, I enjoy debating. I think that's what a forum is for. If think anyone who tries this is a "troll" then, fuck, you should join an Queen/Page/whatever adoration group, where no one will bother you.
On the other hand, I think Jimmy speaks for himself:

This is seriously, the worst thing I've heard in my life.
You know... someone who plays like that, just CAN NOT be one of the best guitar players ever. It's completely impossible. But I have. of course, also seen concerts of Led Zeppelin from the mid 70's and fuck... he's really awful. 80% of what he plays is just plain embarrasing. The other 20% is not THAT bad, just very sloppy.
Jimmy Page CAN'T be considered a good guitar player.
But what I will NEVER understand is why people talk about Zeppelin as the ultimate rock band when the band next door was FAR SUPERIOR. I'm talking about Deep Purple, of course.
I mean... MUCH better singer. MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Paice is a much better drummer than Bonham. BLACKMORE IS SURELY BETTER THAN PAGE... but, then again, everyone is. Jon Lord is one GREAT player. The arrangements are better, the compositions, everything... I mean, it's like comparing the moon and Paul Rodgers' smegma.
Seriously.

Blackmore didn't have the effect on rock music that Page and Hendrix had, but he certainly played better than either.

If your criteria for being a good guitarist feature things Page is incapable of, fair enough. Lots would disagree with you, lots would agree. But if you honestly believe what you wrote about Deep Purple, then you truly don't understand anything about music, because even if all of the things you listed why Deep Purple are true, their songs OBVIOUSLY did not CONNECT with fans like Zep's did. Knowing you though, you'll argue with this with your opinion and dubious facts.

I'd be the first to admit that Page was a rotter when it came to guitar playing, but I think the sound guy was just as culpable on that night. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]Like seriously, Bonzo Jr is bashing the HELL out of that kit .... and it just sounds like a lot of tin cans. What the hell, was anyone even doing sound that night?[/QUOTE]

Oooh, Deep Purple discussion?? [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]The problem with Purple is that they were only really worth listening to for those short years when they had both Gillan and Blackmore. You can fucking TOSS the rest of their catalogue, honestly.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]It's always amazed me how unlucky us fans of music are that the best collaborators are usually the ones who can't bloody stand each other.[/QUOTE]

DP songs connect with DP fans just as much as LZ songs connect with LZ fans, just as much as ABBA songs connect with ABBA fans, PF, U2, GD, GD, RS, BSB, SG, MtH, etc.

Of course, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin have one thing in common; their most famous songs aren't their best by a long shot.

I agree, it is pretty brutal... probably the worst I've heard a 'professional' guitarist play. But he was fucked up on drugs and had barely played in 2 years. His amp gain was set pretty low too, so that didn't help at all.
How about watching Whole Lotta Love from The Song Remains The Same instead of using Page's worst moment to prove your point?

Drugs and lack of practice aren't an excuse. If after a couple of years without playing he's not able to do well on something like that (which isn't a walk in the park but is not a Grade-VIII piece either), then, again, he's definitely not a top guitarist. Not necessarily the worst one (he's had good moments too), not necessarily a bad one (he's had good moments too, loads of them), but definitely not one of the best ever. Not even close.
