I don't think their playing was worlds about. Both played a heavy bluesy style. Page was a proto heavy metal riffed, iommi was the defining heavy metal riffer. I hear some similarities in some of their work. Though Page was a little more versatile with his playing. They both had a jazzy and classical side. Well, iommi definitely did, page not as much. "Orchid" shows a little of his classical side. "Planet caravan" and "solitude" show off his jazzier side. I love the guitar playing In those songs.
