This is for all the guitar players on this forum...
Let's do it once and for all. Who do you choose?
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
or
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
In my defense... I'm just sayin' |

I actually really like 'On The Turning Away'.

These guitarist discussions always start my blood to boiling, I think I just enjoy completely different shit than everyone else.

I have learned solos and rhythm work by both players - Page feels choppier, and slop isn't as noticable. Gilmour takes finesse to get right. Gilmour wins.

Not a huge Floyd or Zeppelin fan, but I think Jimmy Page gets my vote. Much broader range of talents, and cooler hair. Plus, he did the music for the best movie ever, Death Wish 3.

Well Zeppelin did the same thing. They went off and did albums that no one really liked. So you can't rule out Floyd for doing the samething. There are people that don't like D Yer Mak Er and Kashmir, two amazing songs in my opinion. The Who did that too and The Rolling Stones, they both went disco but people forget that and remember their best work. Lou Reed even went shit during the 80s. I don't know the song, but there's a Reed video where he's dancing Bruce Springsteen style, it was bad. So don't look down on Gilmour for doing what other guys did too.

I freely admit I still enjoy Meddle. I can never get enough of "Fearless." That song is a joyous masterpiece and definitely one of my top 50 songs of all time*!
==edit==
*-which means I choose Gilmour (I finally answered your question)
Ha I knew it. Your just a closet Floyd fan. Ha I got you bitch. lol. You just got served... I'll stop now.

You're almost 38 and you don't enjoy classic music like Floyd or Zeppelin? What's wrong with you man? Who hurt you. For me I'm a Gilmour man. I model my guitar playing to Gilmour and JOEY. Perfect mix if you ask me. Erie solos and an ambush of noise, gets the crowd going. But nothing against Page, just doesn't do enough to me like David does.

Yep, I'm with apl. Dave Gilmour is one of my favouritest guitarists ever. He has near perfect note choice.

I don't play guitar, but I have to say Gilmour, Darkoutsider. I wish I did play guitar, if that counts for anything.

I have plenty of respect for those who came before, just not much for the two you named. I'll take Dave Davies. |

Hey I really like Pink Floyd, but Joey is my hero. I used to listen to Floyd when I was a kid and too young to really appreciate the guitar sound.

Even Joey has heros... I would think he's a Dick Dale fan. Though I hear a little Floyd in the Hey! solo. Dinosaur Rock? You kids have no respect for those that came before...
