My issue with Jimmy Page

nyarlothothep · 2012-03-25 21:33:48

I like Led Zeppelin. I like Jimmy Page. I like his guitar playing. Yet I don't like his guitar playing. His tone is bad. I've never heard such horrible sounds from a guitar, sometimes its too dry and nasal like on Out on the Tiles, other times its too thin as on Heartbreaker. Yet for some reason I like his sh1tty guitar…

I don't own a Gibson Les Paul but if a case has to be made for their existence, I submit the following as one example of Gibbo mania.

Don't watch TSRTS, it's awful for the tones. HTWWW is a lot better. Think about it, Bonham is playing a vistalite and it sounds like crap in that video. His playing was all pure energy, just playing the hell out of the guitar. I don't find his tone especially great, but it's not bad, and it's definitely his style.
