I'm with Ki: while he's pretty ****ing good, calling Page one of the greatest either means that you grew up with his dick in your mouth or you're ignorant of most other guitarists. I'm down with calling Bonham one of the greatest though. He drove the band more than Page did, imo.
It's well known and been validated by the engineer who was in the studio that Page improvised 3 different solos on the spot and then chose the best one for the album.

Agreed on Bonham. If you notice on Zep live clips, whenever it was time for Page to take a solo he'd move right in front of Bonham's kick drum so he could play off of it.
