"1st paragraph: You're entitled to your opinion, but what recording techniques did Page invent??? Weren't there other members of Zep???"
Multi tracking, ambient micing, modern drum micing, tape echo/delay, non tape echo. You name it.
"2nd p: Have you seen any live Beck??? Obviously not, especially the Beck/BB King special. "
I have, and i own nearly every Beck album pre 1990.
"You need an education on non-radio Clapton. Listen to Me and Mr. Johnson, From the Cradle, all of Unplugged, all of his stuff with Cream, Pilgrim, and One More Car, One More Rider."
Same goes for clapton. Anything Clapton did, Pagey could do. Of course, Clapton's best work being a note-for-note copy of Freddie King's Hideaway.
"3rd p: Wrong. His releases can be traced back to '73."
And Page's can be traced to well before 66. So what? SRV was nowhere near his prime until Texas Flood/Weather or his performance on ACL. His speed and technicality surpasses Page's, but his writing does not. I have yet to hear anything with the diversity of Jimmy page. It's like comparing Yngwie to B.B. King.
"4th: Surfing With the Alien is cert. Platinum."
And how many people have heard of surfing with the alien? The most well none "shred" guy would probably be Yngwie, or Vai, because of his appearance in Crossroads.
"5th: Nope. He sucks."
Well, i can see why you have gone wrong in those other replies, you obviously have a huge lapse in judgement.
