Save Rock and Roll!

Unreleased Jimmy Page Guitar Riff To Be Retrieved From Secret Vault To Save Rock And Roll

GWYNEDD, WALES—Recent developments in the music world, such as the popularity of the Dixie Chicks and Sufjan Stevens, have created a "perfect storm of lameness."

Jimmy Page.  Led Zep.  I once thought he was a god of guitar.  Then I saw the likes of Eric Johnson, Steve Vai and Satriani.  Imagine watching hours of guitar clips from those rock heroes, adding when available, Jimi Hendrix, Clapton and Eddie Van Halen - ok, as the innovator in the early 80s.    Then, after those drugs, watching Jimmy Page play Stairway to heaven live.  I don't see why they like it.  Well, ok.  It was better than all the guitarists now.  But not as good as the best of the best.  Remember he slided down to rhythm when Clapton came.  Not a Jimmy Page fan.  My brother would hate this.
