Well, maybe he has..."Page is overblown?" Well, maybe he has had way more than his fair share of backstage hummers in his day...but dammit he deserved them!<br /><br />If you mean MUSICALLY overblown then I gotta disagree. The Mount Rushmore of rock guitar is:<br /><br />Jimi Hendrix<br />Jimmy Page<br />Eddie Van Halen<br />and the 4th spot is waiting for SOMEBODY to own this era of lousy hip pop/Lady GagGag stuff going on today. Jack White? He gets props for being from Detroit...and for making unique noise with his axe, but I don't think kids wish they could grow up to BE him.<br /><br />I like The Edge, but to me the guy who owns the 'middle' section of the 3 guitar eras is Edward Van Halen.

His notes are clean; he arpeggiates the crap out of everything, and he uses delays and overdubs like they're milk in cereal. It's more about texture, I think, with him than anything. Could he rock out like a 70s rock god? Sure, but he wouldn't be as good. And while I think this film will be interesting, the coupling could have been better. Jack White is not an icon; Page's has been overblown, and the Edge is known as that guy who plays guitar next to Bono. Ok, maybe this will be interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-74442225519507229772009-07-15T19:17:18.854-07:002009-07-15T19:17:18.854-07:00about The Edge: I love the sound and style he'...about The Edge: I love the sound and style he's created. I think he's so mellow and laid back (and a bit overshadowed by dear Bono) that maybe it goes unrecognized, but he's definitely a great guitarist in my opinion.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-79499423645744468992009-07-15T17:21:07.311-07:002009-07-15T17:21:07.311-07:00Charlie, I respectfully disagree.
