  1. Oh absolutely. Jimmy is probably the sloppiest player out there. 1975 onwards he misses notes and everything. Technical wise, most other players will leave him in the dust.

    However, Guitar playing is not about being technical. It's about feeling and conveying emotion to your audience. And in this regard, Jimmy is the best. He also makes passion bleed from every note. Even the Berlin 1980 Stairway solo. He is missing notes, going mega slow and generally out of ideas, but his passion and feeling is showing in every note.

    Page plays every concert like it's his last. And this is why he's my all time favorite guitar player.

  2. Yes, it was the right choice. In the long run, it was the ONLY choice. You had Page addicted to heroin, having limited creativity and involvement, Bonham was having a serious drinking problem and hated touring, and then Plant's voice was getting worse, and he was getting sick of singing the same Zeppelin songs over and over again.

    Anyone who thinks that Zeppelin would have 'Ruled the 80s' didn't know what was going on from 1977-1980.

  3. This needs an update this thread.

    I've been getting into Def Leppard like crazy lately. Bought Pyromania and Hysteria within the space of a week.

    Listened to 'On through the night' and 'high n dry' today at college.

    Here's on awesome performance:
