Well, let's put it that way, he was no doubt the worst lead guitarist of the Yardbirds

Fortunately for him though, that meant zip for the studios that wanted him to play on their singles and albums.  I forget the exact stat, but I remember reading somewhere that Page played on 25% of charting pop/rock releases recorded in England in the 1960s.

Or at least he claims to have played on that many. Some of his claims have been disputed, e.g. by Ray and Dave Davies.

Bonham grew up 10 miles north of where I live, before my time though. Any Woman of A Certain Age you meet in a bar round here slept with him and all the men played in a band with his brother. According to local legend he started in a band called Terry Webb and the Spyders. They did a reunion gig last year, without Bonzo obviously. Jim Capaldi grew up 10 miles in the other direction, but doesn't seem to have put himself about as much.

Oh yeah~ I wasn't worried...that's probly why my twin daughters are little MONSTERS!! heh
They have all their digits in the right places & so on tho, thank the Lord!!

I'd never heard Spirit ~ Taurus before. Evidently Page did build off that. RC RIP
Saw Randy California & Ed Cassidy with Spirit in the mid 90s in my hometown- Glendale, California. A stage was set up right in the middle of a main intersection in the center of town.
Got Ed to sign a tambourine.
Randy talked about how he & Jimi were kindred spirits & played together in Jimmy James & the Blue Flames.
Funny thing is Mitch Mitchell was in a band by the SAME NAME! before joining The Experience!!
Kindred SPIRITs indeed.
