If you're heavily invested in those sounds the differences between two players can sound miles apart. If you listen to a more global offering then they start to seem closer together. Its all relative. Page and Iommi sound nothing alike until you ask about Page, Iommi, and Pat Metheny.

Listen to any 2 rock guitarists and their will be similarities. Lets face it though, Page is known or helping write the book on blues rock. Iommi wrote the book on metal nearly single handedly. If you want similar listen to Rush's first album. Working Man could have been Iommi playing.

Eh, I guess. I disagree. Take Robbie Robertson for example, and compare him to Jimmy page. There certainly arent as many similarities between their playing as there are between page and iommi. Not all rock guitarists are as similar as page and iommi. Iommi may have wrote the book on heavy metal, but he was also a bluesy player. And I disagree that page wrote the book on blues rock, but he was also heavy bluesy player.
