Spinal Tap wins because they didn't plagiarize other bands material.

Both Page and Phillips were using a bow on recordings in 1967.



FF to 1:24



Page got turned onto trying a bow during his session days even earlier.

Quote:
“When I was a session musician, I would often play with string sections. For the most part, the string players would keep to themselves, except for a guy who one day asked me if I ever thought of playing my guitar with a bow. I said I didn’t think it would work because the bridge of the guitar isn’t arched like it is on a violin or cello. But he insisted that I give it a try, and he gave me his bow. And whatever squeaks I made sort of intrigued me. I didn’t really start developing the technique for quite some time later, but he was the guy that turned me onto the idea.”
Bit of obscure trivia - the "guy" that turned Page onto the bow was the father of David McCallum, who co-starred along with Robert Vaughn in the mid 60s TV show The Man from UNCLE.

That's a lot of qualifying.

To be fair, using a bow on a stringed instrument really isn't that innovative anyways.

It was in the realm of hard rock!

No wonder people thought he had made a deal with the devil and practiced black magic.

1970 - The way he uses the echoplex and wah pedal is pretty damn cool.

Goes to show that you don't actually have to be innovative to be an innovative rock artist.

Ya, cause bowing a Les Paul through a dimed NMV Marshall stack, while using tape echo and tone modulation, and incorporating bits of Gustav Holst's "Mars -
the Bringer of War", was so unimaginative back in 1969-1970...........

Yep. Might have fit the bill if we were talking 30s.
