“but Jimmy Page is the most over rated guitarist ever...total slop!”

I’d have to agree. Clapton is MUCH better. So was Frank. Steve Vai, Adrian
Bellue, and Jeff Beck are ALL much, much more proficient.

“I love John Paul Jones,”

Me too. IMO he pretty much held LZ together from a musical standpoint. Although I think Entwhistle was probably the best rock bassist followed very closely by Geddy Lee. That man is an astonishing talent. Pretty much anyone who played bass guitar for Frank belongs on the list, too.

“I think John Bonham became the most over rated drummer due to the drugs and booze!”

Also agreed. Keith Moon, Terry Bozio, and Chad Wackerman are, or were as the case may be, much better. The combination of Moon and Entwhistle is one for the ages.

WOW! I agreed totally! Saw Rush in 81, was blown away! Love Adrian with King Crimson and Zappa! Got into Weather Report, Return to Forever and Jaco back in the day! 2 words...Stanley Clarke!

My Generation - Live at Leeds - isolated bass and drums.

It doesn't get better than that.
