When I listened to him, I thought "GOD, I BETTER PRACTICE HARD, I DON'T WANNA SOUND LIKE THAT!".
But, you know, being influential is not necessarily a good thing. Besides, he does suck. So much, so hard.
Poor guy, I really pity him. It must be awful to be ABSOLUTELY UNABLE to play your own songs, even when they're so simple and primitive as his songs.

"But the programme did have some improvised bits. Listen to the Bo Rhap[/i] solo or to the ornaments at the end of Best Friend[/i]: different every night, even if in subtle ways. And that IS improvisation." [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]I can't speak to your point on "You're My Best Friend" because I'm not really au fait with the live versions, but with Bohemian Rhapsody he's pretty much stuck to the same 'different' version since the mid 70's. It's almost like, shortly after recording the studio version, he arrived at a change in the melody that he liked better, and kept it forever after.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]*I am aware that the solo has shifted about subtly over the years, but the only major change that's in there, has been there for most of the song's existence in the live act.[/QUOTE]

I don't know anybody besides him who's been playing the same primitive crap for 50 years and still can't get it right. If you know someone worse, please let me now.
Page is seriously the worst player ever.

Well, I'd say easily- Slash. Maybe he is not the worst guitarist ever, but the most boring for sure IMHO.

Possibly you are a better technical guitarist than Page, but let's face it no one's heard of you, whereas Page was part of what was probably the most famous rock band in the world. People will be playing and listening to Page long after he, you and I are dead. Obviously Page made a connection with people, which is something so far you have failed to do (unless you are a ringer). So I doubt Page or anyone else will lose much sleep over your opinion. Sorry, don't mean to demean you, but that's the brutal truth.

So your point is it doesn't matter if you FUCKING suck as long as you're famous or important?
Good for Hitler!

Great, you're spending your 20s learning how to play technically better than Page and whoever else.
Page, on the other hand, spent his 20s writing music that would be revered and critically acclaimed generations later. He didn't give a shit about his technical ability, as that's not what Led Zeppelin was all about.
Time well spent, huh?

I care about music, not about being praised by deaf people. I rather spend time practizing than writting shit and playing it awfully. Even if it makes history. Who cares? I don't care about being important, I care about making music!
Your problem is that you care way too much about success. To you people, succeeding is becoming important. To me, succeeding is making music in the best way possible.
john bodega · Member since
But what the hell, music is out there to be enjoyed. Getting good at it and making people happy with your music are not mutually exclusive. Can't you do both?
Matias Merçeauroix · Member since
I don't think I can do any!
But I do try.
The point is Page sucks. He has always sucked. And he really makes me feel sad about that. It's heartbreaking to see him play, he just can't do it.
Brian May, on the other hand, is a genius.

"Who cares?" A bit ironic, given how desperately you are trying to convince us that Page sucks. How many times have you said it now? Odd behaviour for someone who doesn't care...

Tthe reason why people such as myself praise Page is not because he was successful. Success has nothing to do with it. It's because IMO Page created and executed some of the most exciting, most creative and darn brilliant guitar work of all time. The solo to Stairway to Heaven was IMO a work of genius, as was his work on Dazed and Confused, Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir etc... You say that he sucks? Well, okay, but then again you also compared him to Hitler, so why should anyone care what you think?
