True. But let me change 'wild' to 'freewheeling' as it connotes not too much flashiness or mania, but more casualness, improvisation, etc.

And back to why i say true: Page seems like the classic idea of a virtuoso guitarist, an archetype of every great, meaningful riff/solo passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, Iommi has an ambiance to him, a certain mood that his sound evokes, as well as a definite sound quality that can't be mistaken for any other guitarist (whereas Page's idiosyncrasy comes from how his creations move). It's more in his ability to set the mood with his instrument that he may be considered inventive

I SUPPOSE.
