Happy birthday, Jimmy. Maybe some day you'll be in the same ballpark as Adrian Belew, Jeff Beck, Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, Omar Rodriquez-Lopez...

I got more. :smalltongue:

Jimmy is in the same ballpark as those, for sure (all great musicians, though, and I've got more too)! I'm sure they'd all agree to that! A huge influence on me in my own formative years as a guitarist. Happy birthday to Mr. Page, indeed :smallcool:

Agreed. It seems that it's only the fans who talk about who's better than who. Happy Birthday Mr. Page.

Well, I know Robert Fripp's talked about it, pretty infamously...

Really? I thought he'd be classier about stuff like that. Oh, well, I'm a big fan of the works of both, but comparing them is sort of like the infamous apples and oranges. So different styles, but both made sublime stuff that changed the face of rock music.

for me he's up there with the beatles as a revolutionary, remember he was with the yardbirds for a while and they kind of invented heavy rock

Fripp was rather tasteless about that kinda thing. :smalltongue:
