the truth is the truth. and the truth is right there in above quote. jimmy page is the most prolific guitarist in his time, appearing on more vynil than any other, especially as a session guy. that said, he is also the biggest plagarist that ever lived, and largely seems to have gotten away with it. i do love their music, it is great. but much of it was borrowed, uncredited, from others. a little research would bear this out, i won't bother posting the many examples.

Yeah 2000 posts!
the most important fact suggested by your post seems to be how fortunate the rest of us are that you are no longer a mod.
