i cant believe how many of you dont even mention page. he is the most amazing guitarist of his time, he had amazing talent unlike anyone else, and could solo like there was no tomorrow. i also believe that he was the 1st to use the bow on the guitar in dazed and confused. we can all learn from page, hes my idol.

I know thats a joke, but just in case people dont know who Jamerson is and might be confused by this statement.....

James Jamerson is a bass player.

i think jimmy page is an overrated guitar player
not that he wasnt good but he wasnt as groundbreaking as people try to make him out to be
he was...mediocre
not that im amazing or anything
he just gets more praise than he deserves

Best Metal=Steve Vai

Best Classic Rock= Hard to decide but for me Blackmore!!
