Why?.....Isn't Jimmy Page one of the Greatest ever? :(.

For me he is ONE of the best Rhythm Guitarist ..not to mention, the most influential. I dont just base it on technical skill but also on overall impact and influence. That earned him a ticket there. :p

I'm not exactly sure, but he could well be refferencing either Jimmy's notoriously sloppy playing or tendency to engage in plagiarism.

Ahh...okey...I thought Jolly was questioning Jimmy's greatness.

I agree with that sloppy playing thing....I've seen him play "Stairway solo" on VH1 live, and his pick really miss some strings sometime and he played it not that clear as on their album.....but what about the Plagiarism, can you please give some song he plagiarise?

I was really surprised, I never thought he would do that....Thanks :)

Stairway to Heaven, for one. Stolen from the Spirit song "Taurus"

"Dazed and Confused" was written by Jake Holmes, but he is given no credit by Zeppelin.

"In My Time of Dying" Words stoplen from Blind Willie Johnson and phrasing taken from Josh White.

"The Lemon Song" is actually Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor"

"Whole Lotta Love" lyrics are from the Willie Dixon blues "You Need Love."

Jimmy Page is the riff master, but that's all he's got.

Ouch...


I think that there is a bit of misunderstanding here... from what I understand, z0s0_jp is contesting the spelling of Jimmy Page, not his musicianship/songwriting abilities. That's what he meant by "you should know better" (at least, I think so)-- that "Jimi" means "Hendrix" and "Jimmy" means "Page".

How can he not be a Zep fan with a username like "z0s0"?
... and that's all I have to say about that.

You Shook Me is a blues song written by Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir. Earl Hooker first recorded it as an instrumental which was then overdubbed with vocals by Muddy Waters in 1962. It was later recorded by various rock musicians, including Jeff Beck on his album Truth and most famously by the rock group Led Zeppelin on their debut album. On the Zeppelin recording John Paul Jones double tracked the organ and the electric piano.

Since the Zeppelin version was released in 1969, one year after Beck's, he accused them of stealing his idea. The Zeppelin version is one of the few songs to showcase the talents of all four members, and the band played it frequently at their early live shows. It was the first of their songs to feature the call-and-response blues style of music.

Led Zeppelin did not originally credit Dixon for the song. He sued, won a substantial amount of money, and his name was placed in the credits.

Haha, well, certainly the riffs in Achilles Last Stand are better than those in Giant Fighting Robot. As I said, riff master. Lyrically, I think Giant Fighting Robot is better. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I don't know about all that but,

Ozzy on vocals cuz thats a unique voice. Runner up Sebatian Bach

Niel Pert on Drums, I woulda went with Phil Collins but he wouldn't fit in anymore.

Steve Vai on one guitar, First choice would be Randy Roads but R.I.P.

I take Tony Iommi on the second.

I'm gonna agree with some and go with flea for Bass.
