It's true though, you don't really see Page diving into the jazz idiom at all. It just didn't fit into his style.
I also don't see page mixing classical in his playing as much as iommi did, even if its presence wasn't all that strong. There are some acoustic examples of iommis classically styled work. He even worked it into his electric playing a little. He's more diverse than he seems sometimes.

And ya, he certainly isn't Django.

If you can define classical for me I'd be more apt to understand what you're talking about.

It might be not strict text book classical, but theres some classical style to some of his playing. There are some live videos I've seen where he works some classical chords and fingerstyle techniques into his playing electric playing.

There's the song "orchid" for example. Theres another song I'm thinking of but I can't think of the name. It starts out with an acoustic intro and then oes into some really heavy stuff.

each has their own merits

It's music banter, of course we must. It's no different than the "beatles vs beach boys" thread.

Beatles v Beach Boys thread is bad (despite some good debate). This thread though is even worse, but the prize for the worst versus thread surely has to go to the Pixies v Nirvana, certainly the most tedious thread on the forum.

I didn't know the first one existed, the second one I think was more active when I first joined, but really Ringo Starr vs Neil Peart!
