[net.music] Ethiopia and Jimmy Paige

allred@AMSAA.ARPA ( RAMD-STU ) (03/26/85)

   Two more Ethiopian songs are in the works.  They are
all the Australians and all the Headbangers.  Details on this
can be found in Musician magazine.  Also in the mag was an inter
view with Paige.  Paige is now returning to public through the
Firm.  When asked what he had been doing since the end of Led Zep
he said "drugs."  When asked what he thought of present day rockers
he replied that they were terrible human beings with exception to
Rush.  When asked what he thought about Van Halen he said "Who is
Van Halen?"  Interesting.  Welcome back Jimmy!!

Interesting indeed.  I remember reading an interview with Jimmy Paige in
Kerrang Magazine.  The article stated that Jimmy felt sorry for people who
could only listen to one type of music and not experience different styles.
Too bad Jimmy didn't take his own advice and listen to Van Halen.  He would
have heard the greatest guitarist since he last heard himself play with Zep.

The article in Kerrang also stated that Jimmy never heard Eddie Van Halen 
play with Van Halen but, that he was impressed with the guitar work Eddie did
on Michael Jackson's "Beat It."

If you enjoyed reading this article
half as much as I enjoyed writing it
then I enjoyed it twice as much as you.

At the risk of restarting the "World's Greatest Guitarist" fiasco from last
summer, ARE YOU SERIOUS?  "Pretty" Eddie as good as Paige?  Give me a break!
Next thing I know, you'll be trying to convince me that "Jump" isn't garbage.

YES, I AM SERIOUS!  But, that is only my opinion.  Your opinion on the other
hand is only your opinion.  Nonetheless, you have to admit that anyone
interested in music or guitar playing would be wise to listen to Van Halen.
His style definitely is unique.  That is what my original article intended
however, my favoritism showed through.

On another note, who is this Stanley Morgan?  Does he have any albums released?
Which one should I buy?  I'm into rock-n-roll and heavy metal but I'd love to
hear him.

Here's another one from England - can we at least spell Jimmy Page's
name right before we indulge in the futility of arguing about the
"World's Greatest Guitarist" ?
