[Rod Stewart on Jimmy Page]

The nerve of Jimmy Page to form a band with a singer, a

bass player and a drummer!

Jeff Beck didn't show for Rod's Tour in the early 80's when he was billed as lead guitarist...yea, he's awesome.

Yeah, Beck was notorious for being the ultimate high maintenance prima dona from what I've read over the years...Jimmy was probably high maintenance when it came to working with the record company vis-a-vis releasing singles, etc. But from all accounts, Jimmy is the consummate professional when it comes to giving his absolute best to those whom he agrees to play on their record. Beck must have been an absolute nightmare in that regard.

"Jeff "Beck," Stewart offered, -is a better

guitar player than Jimmy Page — 10

times better."

Better? Probably, maybe even certainly. Greater? Not even close...BUD!
