Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin
“Most influential guitarist ever, he invented heavy metal. Also one of the best technical guitarists ever.”
“Simply the pioneer for all guitarists who have followed. Many have tried to immitate failing miserably. His passion and complexity are beyond explanation.
The heart and soul of Led Zeppelin, his contribution to the group's music will forever be legendary.
”
“As a true musical virtuoso, Mr. Page has been a pioneer for all guitarists who have followed. The beauty and complexity of his compositions and performances produce an emotion in the listener emanating from the very depths of ones soul. Many guitarists have attempted to duplicate his sound but fail miserably. He and the other extremely talented members of Led Zeppelin composed and performed without limits. Jimmy Page is and probably always will be the greatest guitar player ever.”
“white sumer/black mountain side is an amazing piece of work on the guitar, as well as all of his other beloved riffs which carried led zeppelin to the top forever”
“I COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF... Jimmy Page is GOD easily better than hendrix. its a shame that hendrix didnt live longer to see what he had up his sleeve, but given the circumstances, jimmy page is the best.....EVER”
“one of the best”
“Jimmy is the best and most creative guitarist ever before winterland he taught hendrix how to play the guitar”
“greatest guitarist of all time. some say hendrix is the greatest, and i have to hand it to him, he deserves no less than 2nd greatest. but jimmy's extremely wide diversity and unbeatable songwriting skills definitely earn him the place at the top”
“the best all rounder”
“jimmy page shuld be way up the he is the best guitars ever exsept jimi hindrex no one cane top him”
“Led Zeppelin was the greatest thing that happened to music and Jimmy Page led them to that greatness. Just like he did with the Yardbirds, the kinks, and Jeff Beck.”
“BEST EVA”
“jimmy page is much better than Jimi in his later years was so damn messed up he didnt know what was happen”
“Jimmy Page remains the most versatile guitarist ranging from pure hard rock to classical and acoustic pieces, a genius who could blow anyone out of the water now just as easily as he could have when he played with zeppelin...”
“Jimmy started the whole hard rock thing, if you need any proof of why he deserves this, just listen to LEd Zep I, II and III”
“dude i agree!”
“jimmy page is the best guitarist ever! just listen to led zeppelin (untitled) and listen to stairway to heaven, the greatest solo of ALL time, thats what everybody is saying, he's after all far better than prince.”
“I will say this as a huge fan of both. As a guitarist myself, It's easy for me to see that Hendrix had a different connection with his axe then Page. Page was a technical master with a wide range of musical talent from open tunings on acoustic, bows, slide, etc. Hendrix tore up a Fender better than anyone on the planet including Page. I think acoustically Page has proven he is right there with Hendrix. But Hendrix has not proven he is with Page on such a varied spectrum of guitar technique and musicianship.”
“They are both freaks if you think about it. It makes me want to put my guitar down and realize I have to work for a living. These guys were just flat out sick. Jimmy for Les Paul and Acoustic the winner, Hendrix the Fender King. If you can show me something better than Little Wing on a Fender, then I need to hear that.”
“This guy deserves to be at 2nd. Not third.”
“Listen to his solo at heartbreaker, this guy is a genius when it comes to guitar! And also a great composer.”
“honestly,if someone told me to pick page or hendrix,i couldn't.jimi hendrix never had a lesson,and wasn't even able to play until he was 16.same with page,but page wasn't in poverty.hendrix could play with his teeth,blindfolded.behind his back,and even with his crotch.jimmy page,was the leader of my favorite,and statistically,band ever.you can't really compare them”
“one of the greatest guitarists ever in one of the greatest bands ever. for me it is a tie for him and jimi hendrix for the best ever. Definitely the best riff creator ever and had amazing solos and he could play a two neck guitar which is awesome. very diverse he could play all styles of music. he had amazing solos like the one in stairway to heaven, whole lotta love, heartbreaker and many more. easily ahead of pretty boy prince.”
“Jimmy Page is an absolute musical genius and one of a select few truly iconic figures of the rock age. Brilliant unique guitarist, riff writer, arranger, studio wizard, record producer, and guiding force behind rock's greatest band, Led Zeppelin, Page will be one of those rare artists who's stature will grow through the ages, thanks to the timeless music he helped create as a member of the mighty Led Zeppelin.”
“Whoever decided Jimmy should be third is nuts...he should be in first place. He was inventing genius material way before Prince, and I'd have to say...is about a tie with Hendrix. There's no limit to this guy's talent.”
“Who dicided to put Page after Prince is crazy. Page's only competition for first should be Jimi Hendrix. Even then Jimmy should win. Its Page and Hendrix who inspired me to play Guitar myself.”
“Three words: "Stairway to Heaven"”
“Prince doesn't stand a chance with Jimmy. Mr. Page was the heart and soul of Led Zeppelin.”
“Jimmy Page should be ONE
he is the most creative, and best guitarist I know... he help make Led Zeppelin who they are today... no doubt Jimi Hendrix should be number one also but for PRINCE to take two? C'mon Page is way above that guy”
“His improvisation and composing skills can't be compared to any other guitarist. His performance on stage was incedible and his music was so ahead of his time. Ode to Jimmy Page!”
“Greatest Ever! Led Zeppelin”
“I think he is second to none and never will be. i just go insane with his style of playing guitar.”
“oh JIMMY U ARE THE BEST!!!LED ZEPPELIN 4 EVER!”
“Nobody can touch the solo on stairway to heaven or dazed and confused”
“for god's sake listen to his solos and riffs that he does throughout all of the greatest songs of Zeppelin”
“Best of all time. Jimi should NOT be number 1. Jimi was not that great. HE was good... but not as great as page.”
“Jimi Page has the best solos in the world. Just listen to heartbreaker and you will know what I mean. Lots of people think that Hendrix is better, but the only time he can play is when he is on a drug. Page should definately be number 1.”
“Page is the best.”
“Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix are my two favorite guitarists of all time. But I had to pick Jimmy over Jimi just because the variety of Led Zeppelin is far greater than that of The Experience. I love Hendrix but Zeppelin is a drug for me.”
“Jimmy page is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at first i thoght there was only slash i listned 2 GNR non stop but then i found Led Zep and i never looked back. although i love hendrix i do think he is a bit over rated for some reason his solos are great but they use alot of the same licks. jimmy page has a lerge variety of what he can play Stairway to heaven, since ive bin lovin you (tht has GREAT guitar in it) bron-y-aur-stomp, heartbreaker, they are are all great but very different, and his riffs are great the ocean, whole lota love, rock n roll, moby dick and the list goes on n on n on he is my favorite gutirist ever nd i think he is the best way better then Prince (wtf)”
“he is the best guitarest ever
and he will beat prince and hendrix any day. No one makes up a song like stairway to heaven and is not the best guitarest ever”
“he's the best ever he is the God of guitar”
“Jimmy page and jimi hendrix are the two best guitarists. Hendrix should be first and Page a close second.”
“Pshhhh Jimmy page is the best..... noone can beat the Stairway to heaven solo.”
“any one who likes jimmy page obviously understands real guitar music he is the greatest song writer and the most amazing guitarist the world has seen and definatley deserves a place at number 1 HE RULES”
“Jimmy Page is the single greatest guitar player of all time. Sure Hendrix is amazing, but he had no where near the extremely wide range of musical style and talent that Page possesses. Page can effortlessly switch from folk to heavy metal without missing a note of an extremely fast sequence. If you don't believe me, just listen to White Summer/Black Mountainside, Heartbreaker, Communication Breakdown, Travelling Riverside Blues, and about one thousand others. No comparison. Page is best.”
“Page can play anything....soft and slow like "Stairway to Heaven", and anything quick and upbeat like "Communication Breakdown"....and there is no way anyone can beat his face melting guitar solos”
“Jimmy Page puts feel into his solos unlike most guitarists who try to play as fast as possible with no focus. Page has proved that he can play fast and have melody in his solos plenty of times.”
“Page played first heavy metal”
“Give credit To Robert Plant... His singing really made Jimmy's great Guitar playing better
JIMMY PAGE IS NUMBER 1!”
“why in gods name is prince above him? jimmy page is the absolute best songwriter of all time not to mention his exceptional skill. heartbreaker and stairway to heaven prove this.”
“Jimmy would play every song with soul and heart. His skill on the guitar is a great inspiration throughout the world.”
“While I do think Hendrix is the best of all time, Jimmy is a close second... and I just had to vote for him so that he might hop in front of Prince (wtf!?!? )”
“JIMMY PAGE, the best guitarist ever”
“page is the king!that's all i have to say!”
“Definetly the greatest of all time.”
“page is techniacllay the greatest guitarist ever and is also one of the best preformers ever..1st palce”
“He has had more influence on guitar then anyone. While Hendrix had a lot of influence on soloing, Page influenced every aspect of guitar.”
“he rocks”
“there is no way prince is better then jimmy page
jimmy page is a guitar god....
he can pawn prince
go page!”
“Well said, DrStrangelove. Watching Jimmy, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton on-stage (The Yardbirds, 1665/66) is an experience not easily forgotten.”
“For what encouraged guitarists from the 70's on to the early 80's and into the present, guitarists know more Led Zeppelin guitar lines than any other note worthy guitarist. I like Jimi Hendrix as well. But the reality is, Jimmy Page encompassed a much larger scope and was way more influential.”
“He's funny AND a great guitarist. If you've seen the led zep dvd, he does a solo with a violin bow. You should also just watch what he does and how he acts on stage. Hes awesome”
“jimmy page should be ahead of prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“hi is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“yo jimmy page is better than prince i think!!!”
“Definitely the best guitarist of all time!”
“he should be at 2, prince isn't even anywhere near 1/4 as good as page. most of this list doesn't even make sense.”
“come on he wrote pretty much all led zeppelins songs and he did write stairway to heaven”
“I really don't see how Jimmy is behind Prince, and I haven't heard Hendrix play anything like the heartbreaker solo”
“Page is the greatest. Hendrix was great but Page is greater. I'm sorry Mr. Hendrix but Page has the whole amazing acoustic-make-you-cry side too so he wins. LISTEN TO BRON-YR-AUR. you'll understand.”
“Stairway to Heaven. Go Jimmy.”
“I know of no guitarist that
lists Prince as an influence on their playing style. As talented as Prince may be, Jimmy Page is iconic, legendary even. Get him up there with Hendrix.”
“In guitar rock, there is Jimmy Paige. Everyone else is in envy”
“how is jimmy page not #1 he was definitely the best songwriter ever and just cuz he didnt always play fancy stuff he knew hundreds of abstarct chords and he has never written a song that id give less than 5 stars”
“i totally agree that hendrix is no1 but page is just awesome, he is so unheard of nowadays,but he will always be 1 of the best. ps:how the heck is prince 2nd. page should be!also clapton should be alot higher, so should chuck berry and the 3 kings
“Prince! Why! He isn't bad, but WHAT! Jimi Hendrix is overrated. I'm tired of seeing him above Jimmy Page.”
“Common this guy can do everything!!!”
“its my love its my life
”
“jimmy page is the beeeeesssstttt”
“ok whoever thinks prince is better than Jimmy Page is nuts. This guys is simply the best guitarist ever. his diversity and style is amazing, but i will have to say Jimi Hendrix is so close i almost have to say there are 2 best players”
“Creative, daring, and good at playing guitar in technical terms. Incredibly diverse and passionate style.
I definitely would place Jimmy Page at the top.”
“jimmy page is a helluva lor better then prince and i saw the drummers category for top 10 and theres no way some stupid japanese guy is better then neil peart.anyway jimmy page made some of the greatest songs ever legendary. and he izz the best easy.”
“No question the greatist guitarist of all time!!
”
“Jimmy is absolutely amazing at guitar, he is possibly the greatest the world will ever know. Jimi Hendrix is very good but i would say Jimmy Page is just that extra note better, that extra foot to the mile, a hair ahead. Bad metaphors i know but he is the greatest to me.”
“Stairway to heaven guitar solo .. the best”
“Jimmy is the best ever. he could do anything. From metal (Whole lotta love) to soft acoustic (Rain song), he did it all”
“jimmy page is god.His lead in stairway to heaven is unbelievable.and i know that there are so many other people who will surely agree wit me on this.....”
“Jimmy is known, but still underrated in my opinion. He is so cool and understated that he is often overlooked for his style over Zepplin's overall music.”
“Jimmy Page should definetly go on top. He's not only the best guitarist of all time, but he was the lead guitarist of the best rock and roll band of all time! Jimmy played the guitar so skillfully. Led Zeppelin has so many fantastic hits, and it's because of the lead guitar. Jimmy makes the music. He can play so many different guitars! And his solos are mad nasty! Jimmy Hendrix was an amazing guitarist, but he didn't have the song writting skill like Page. And if you compare careers, Page's hits with Led Zeppelin overwhelmes Hendrix's few hits from his own band. Jimmy Page is nuber one by far, and no one will ever come close to his standards.”
“Page should definitely rank higher than Prince... he handles his axe like an extention of himself... pours his soul into his playing #1.. maybe not.. but #2 definitely!”
“prince better than page, please, mark knopfler needs to be 2nd after page, hendrix is a hack.”
“possibly the most versatile guitarist in history. the only person who changed music as much as page was hendrix, and page definitely deserves to be above prince. just listen to the guitar work on achilles last stand!”
“Jimmy Page is the Best Guitarist for me because I love his song all of Led Zeppelin Songs, THE BEST! Jimmy Come to Philippines!”
“Page is the beat. Period.”
“jimmy page is awesome, anyone who can play a double neck guitar for so long is awesome”
“he is the best guitarist ever... I LOVE HIM”
“Possibly the best damn guitarist in the world, he was ranked number one as the best guitar riff writer and his sounds is amazing. Anyone who has heard "Achilles last stand" or "Stairway to heaven" and most of his live stuff will agree with me.”
“jimmy is the best guitarist in world. led zep rules for ever.
new guitarists have been learning from jimmy since years.”
“in my time of dying - earls court nuff said”
“this guy is the best hands down. the led the zeppelin straight home.”
“How the hell is prince better than jimmy page, jimmy is way better than prince all of the songs of zeppelin have better guitar than prince and besides, prince sucks...”
“the best ever. just listen to stairway.”
“The contribution of Page is simply staggering. His creativity and genius is legendary and the legacy he has left is there for all to see. He is by far and away the most influential guitarist of all time, more so than even Hendrix.”
“Amazing. Price at #2 is ridiculous”
“Ever time I hear dazed and confused I am amazed at how fast he can move his fingers for that solo.”
“his solos are some of the best I have ever heard... he deserves #1”
“no one can match page's skills”
“Greatest Guitarist EVER!!!Wide diversity amazing songwriter and amazing improvisations...especially his Stairway solos and Dazed and Confused”
“Every time I listen to a Led Zeppelin Song (especially the live songs) Jimmy Page's guitar playing sends chills down my spine. I have NEVER heard ANYONE play guitar like he does. AWESOME!”
“Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarest ever. Not only is he fast, but he is a true musical genius. He wrote some of the greatest songs of all time such as Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, and the ultimate rock song: Stairway To Heaven. Jimmy Page's ability to wite and perform insane songs clearly make him the #1 guitarest. Period”
“Jimmy Page should be number 1”
“jimmy page rocks
”
“He's the Alpha and the Omega”
“if you don't like him you really don't know how guitars should sound
”
“Not only a great guitarist, an incredible composer, too. He composed the majority of Led Zeppelin's stuff, besides what he ripped off... lol.”
“What? Jimmy is #1”
“My favorite guitarists arent here, so I voted Jimmy!”
“Page deserves to be better than Slash, Slash probably based his guitar off of page”
“much cleaner sound than slash and jimi”
“How can you have a list of "greatest guitarists of all time" and include such tragedies! Jimmy Page for sure!”
“JIMMY PAGE IS LEGENDARY”
“love this guitarist.”
“Simply the best, but it was close”
