jimmy page is NOT overrated. sure, maybe stairway and like i dunno, black dog, but, if anyone has actually listened to the layering on Achilles Last Stand, then arranging on the Rain Song or the style in Black Mountain side, you'll realize that few guitarists of that era could come close to him.
ditto goes for jimi hendrix, everyone who calls him over rated has probably never listened to anything past purple haze. there is HUGE progression along all 3 albums, huge. in fact, he is almost a different player on Electric Ladyland, going into "shred" like ballads, something i could see Satch writing, these long dreamy, progressive movements.
Zakk Wylde IS over rated. he's a great player, dont get me wrong, i love his style. But. i can only listen to about 3 of his songs (1 heavy, 1 acoustic and 1 other) before they all sound the same. His songs and solos are SO predictable. He is definately one of my favourite guitarists, but he could take a big lesson from someone like jimmy page and learn how to change up his style once in a while
Yngwie.. yes, Buckethead and Joe Stump do it faster and cleaner. And take up half as much room. Plus, singing about giant robots is way cooler than singing about unleashing the focking fury.
