All things considered, I'd say ol' JP is doing quite well.

bubb_tubbs · 06-08-2009, 02:13 PM

Yeah...

No offense to any hardcore Zepp fans, but he's doing far better than he probably should.

I'm a HUGE fan, and listen to and play way more Page stuff than Hendrix. Nonetheless, no offense taken!

les_lover · 06-08-2009, 04:19 PM

I'm sorry I had to vote for Hendrix. Jimmy Page is my LEAST favorite FAMOUS guitar player. For some reason his groove was right on with the rest of the band tho.

Led Zeppelin · 06-08-2009, 04:29 PM

I am a huge Zeppelin fan and even I'd admit Hendrix is better.

jerryo · 06-08-2009, 06:34 PM

Its about the music...

Not the human ego

...both those guys are musical miracles

snaredrum · 06-08-2009, 06:40 PM

here's the thing - i was going to vote page as i'm more influenced by his playing style (of the two, that is)

but as i can't do what Jimi did, i'd vote him probably...

the poll question needs more quantifiers, dammit!

loneguitar · 06-08-2009, 09:22 PM

they are both IMO legendary masters, I don't get why people have to compare them, just respect both for their contributions to the art.

vladmaximus · 06-09-2009, 12:15 AM

JIMI HENDRIX = LEGEND...

thanks... hi hi hi hiiii

PunkerJon · 06-09-2009, 01:11 AM

Gee thanks JimmyAce for directing me to that totally asinine pissing contest of a thread!

You're welcome! Any time! Thanks for the meaningless spightful vote against Page!

goby · 06-09-2009, 10:17 AM

I can listen to about 2 minutes of Machine Gun before I go absolutely insane. A little Jimi goes a long, long way.

JW123 · 06-09-2009, 10:24 AM

But Hendrix had bigger............................................ ...........................hands!

siggy14 · 06-09-2009, 10:52 AM

Havent we learned or lesson yet? Remember the jimmy VS JC, the Jimmy VS Randy, yesh enough, it pretty much comes down to personal taste when you have two great guitarists.

+1,000,000 That's why I would vote for Sir Jimmy Page.

Nigel Tufnel's tech · 06-09-2009, 11:32 AM

Looks like he's doing OK, I haven't cast my vote by the way, i just cant bring myself to pick one over the other. but if i was drunk and had to choose think i would say Jimmy.

nauc · 06-09-2009, 12:02 PM

i dont think any guitarist will top Hendrix

sure theres faster players, playing more complexed stuff but nothing id rather listen to

soulful is wear its at.

asher67 · 06-09-2009, 10:36 PM

I'm not sure who I voted for. I'm terrible with last names.

Guitarsan · 06-11-2009, 05:23 PM

Pagey is actually a better and more creative producer than guitarist.

RedBetts · 06-11-2009, 05:43 PM

having seen Page many times in concert, in various configurations of Zep and Page-Plant, it always sounded to me that he was, for many years until he finally sobered up, much better on his recordings than he was live. Many times he was a drunken mess in concert and showed little sign of his genius. From what I've seen of Hendrix on various film that is easily available now, he seems to be the same. Eddie Kramer was, like Sir George Martin with The Beatles, a consideralble force who helped Hendrix and Page achieve much of what they did in the studio so their genius could come through. Sure there is talent there, huge talent. But both of those guys were often a musical trainwreck in concert. It's an unfair comparison anyway...Two different styles, two different musical mindsets.

LOL

It's awful to put these two greats up against each other, but for me Page is the ultimate guitarist/musician/songwriter. But then you put on Band Of Gypsies.. Ah man, this is impossible! Stop it!

LPinmydreams · 06-12-2009, 10:44 AM

I voted for hendrix because I thought it would give me a few second laughs.

Zoso101 · 07-18-2009, 09:06 PM

hmmm, well jimmy is a gibson player and so are most of you. Jimmy made the les paul popular in the late 60s and 70s while hendrix was playing his thin bodied, lightweight, and single coil strat. I starting to think some of you guys are traitors to the les paul. Yoouu might as well sell all of your les pauls and give them to us page fans! TRAITORS!!!!

MelonSnapple · 07-18-2009, 09:13 PM

I would say Jimi is the best guitarist and Jimmy is the best producer who happened to play guitar.

Sure Hendrix is best known for his wielding his flipped over Fender Stratocaster, but I have seen plenty of footage of jimi Hendrix using SG's and his custom flying V.
Not sure if this really boils down to a Fender vs Gibson thing? IMO I think a lot of people can see Hendrix for the true guitar pioneer/genius that he was.

Don't get me wrong I have a lot of respect for Mr. Page and what he has contributed to rock n roll, but Jimi took iguitar/music to another level in a way JP did not. Plus Hendrix did it in 3 years and Page has had over 30+ to make his mark. Hendrix was the first rock star to own his own studio as well, imagine what he would have done with better technology?

peace, jonesy

JimmyAce2006 · 07-18-2009, 10:10 PM

I am not even sure Hendrix makes my top 10.

nauc · 07-19-2009, 12:02 AM

i think Hendrix is more emotional/soulful, so he gets my vote

but Page is still fukin awesome!
