You forgot Black Sabbath !!!

["Andrey V. Lebedev" <Andrey.Lebedev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, All!

I have no much time now to write different letters, but I just couldn't
resist to add my word to the comparison of the greatest rock guitarists.
You compared Blackmore and Page. Well. They are too different to compare.

Maybe I read digests not very attentively, but...

But what will you say about Black Sabbath's guitarist Tony Iommy ?!
I heard him for the first time only four days ago. He is fantastic !!!
If I were asked who played there, I would answer without hesitation :
Jimmy Page.

I mean the album "Technical Ecstasy". It was an earthquake for my brains when
I heard this album. The songs like the second one "You won't change me",
the first one "Back street kids" and the last one "Dirty women" are something
of the best I heard in rock and not only in rock. The guitar is outstanding.

It's a great fun to compare three albums released in 1976 :
LZ's "Presence", BS's "Technical Ecstasy" and Rainbow's "Rising". Three
albums of the greatest hard rock groups of that time (of all times!).
Almost nothing in common except that the "Back street kids" somehow reminds
"Achilles" (it is only my opinion) but "Achilles" is much cooler.

I listened to the song "You won't change me" at least five times continuously.
Your opinion, please. Did you compare Page's guitar with Iommy's ?
And the last question : should I expect good surprises from Black Sabbath ?
Sorry for lack of Zep content.
