Has Eddie Van Halen ever bowed a guitar? Or used a fuzz box??? I don't think so!

That's like comparing apples to oranges. Page is the studio pro, composer and some much more. There are facets to Jimmy that most are not aware of. His use and innovations of alternative tunings, not to mention what he did using the bow. The monster tones & riffs he created are forever immortalized in the first LP alone. Eddie on the other hand will always be acknowledged as the guy his guitar teacher said would have no future in music. He revolutionized the techniques employed by practically every aspiring guitarist from the early 80's on. Quite possible responsible for metal guitar as we know it. Both brilliant and will remain forever Rock & Roll legends

Ok heres why,Page can play many different types of styles,and does it with perfection,he also has many more songs that he either wrote or co-wrote with Robert Plant

Dont get me wrong,Eddie is amazing too.
