Led Zeppelin is a joke.. All their popular songs(and some that aren't) are stolen, Jimmy Page is almost as overrated as Jimi Hendrix and to add he's a pretentious douche, and Robert Plant sings like a chipmunk.
Please name another guitarist from the other bands listed here that even comes close to what Jimmy Page is. In my book Page is at the top no matter what. A lot of great bands have used others songs, so what if they didn't write it? That's how rock n roll was born, look at jazz-some of the greatest artists are only famous from doing their own version of a song. Not to mention that everyone got this idea that Zeppelin were song stealers just because Rolling Stone magazine were pricks to them. Do you know Anything about music??
Edit: Go read Hammer of The Gods.

You're done.
Led Zeppelin is the most overrated band of all time. And just because they are an older band doesn't make them better...as far as who has more material, Tool has tons of material and is by no means a "new" band, they have been around for over a decade and a half.
Mind explaining to everyone who the F "Kurt Hamlet" is? If you mean Kirk Hammett then you are still wrong, hammett has NO where near the skill Paige does, I put eddie van halen before hammett.And I thought you liked Tool the most, Kirk Hammett=Metallica? Shows how much you know about music, dont even know the guys name... Not to mention that Paige was Also the producer for Zeppelin which he was frickin amazing at. New bands today hire people for that, to make them sound good and sometimes to make them sound better than they really are. Zeppelin didnt even have access to the technology of today when they recorded... Whole nother ball game. In the end it comes down to opinion and if Tool floats your boat more than Zeppelin-good for you, but the majority of people like Zeppelin more-deal with it.
no favorate bands ,only have beautiful sounds ,u said love will tear us apart , my tears surge out ,i heard a whisper do not cry , they say our love will be eternal , I asked where didi u sleep last night . what i wanna do is make love to u , we can see the dark side of the moon , I wish u were there ,but it did not happen , now i feel like in the november rain , life fade to black .

It's kinda silly trying to compare guitarists and saying X is better than Y, at least after a certain standard of musicianship. Other than perhaps technical ability and knowledge of theory, (in which case the "best" would probably be some virtually unknown session player) it's entirely subjective and depends on what you consider to be worthy criterea to judge by.
The Rolling Stone list here would appear to be based on innovation and individual style. What the guitarists on this list have in common is that they were ground breaking and have a definitive, recognisable way of playing. For instance, you couldn't say that Chuck Berry would be technically better than Joe Satriani, but he was certainly more original and influential.
Anyone who says X is better Y when talking about legends as Hammett, Halen, Paige, Hendrix and all the others, is full of shit. I prefer Kirk Hammett over Paige, but both are incredibly talented guitarist within their each genre. Who ever is better is up to preference, not some universal object formel or anything.
First off, Led Zep sucks, probably the most overrated band of all time.
Secondly, 99% of all really good jazz guitarists are technically better than anyone on that Rolling Stones list. Rolling Stone magazine isn't worth the paper it is written on, what a worthless conduit into the music world. Ontop of that, I hate Jazz, but I know talent when I hear/see it. LOL, Ketih Richards made the list, what a joke.
Thirdly, most of the bands in the OP could be considered hard rock, but to use the word "metal" is astoundingly idiotic. There are no metal bands on that list persay. In fact, hard rock is stretching it, as most of those bands are simply rock bands.
Anyone ever seen Dream Theatre? Personally, I cannot stand their music, but IMO their guitarist is one of the best of all time. I have never seen anyone move the frets like that guy.
Also, certain death metal bands have far more talented guitarists as well. Someone mentioned Slayer, I concur. Going deeper into the fold we have such guitarists from Carcass, I Killed the Prom Queen (best metal guitar solos of all time), Nothingface (best rythm guitarist of all time), Kill Switch Engage (noteworthy guitar player) and etc. All of these bands fall into the classification of "metal".
I really wish people would stop abusing the term "metal".

You knew what I meant, and I have already posted that it was a mistake on my part (one that I make constantly for some reason)
Anywhoo...I've never heard a single Led Zeppelin song with a solo from Paige that made me go "wow" whereas half of all Metallica songs (there are a friggen ton of them) have some face melters in them.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

Erm Metallica are metal? Not to mention black sabbath, they are known to be the founders of metal. Also Slayer, which YOU even said are metal later on in that post.
And to say a band like Led Zeppelin sucks, shows how unintelligent you are.

I agree, comparing apples to oranges. Carlos Santana can do all kinds of techinical things and face melting solos, Jerry Garcia was only great in his own style-some people thought he sucked...yet he is further up the list. Never really liked Rolling Stones "Lists". They dont give credit where credit is due usually.

Actually not really, If you wake up tomorrow and the date is september 196x and your listening to Led Zeppelin-a lot of people will say your listening to hard rock and perhaps even metal. Jimmy Paige is a founding father to Metal Dont forget about time period, what metal is today is totally different than it was.

Absolutely! There's no abuse of the term "metal" here. Bands like Led Zep, Deep Purple and Sabbath are what the term was first used to decribe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_(music)
rule #1 - if you dont know what you're talking about,question the genre
imo zeppelin are the greatest band of all time,though my favourite of this bunch is deep purple.not a contradiction,i just had more good times with friends listening to purple whereas zeppelin take you away to another plane of existence,more of a personal type experience.

Slayer all the way.
And by the way, this 'classic metal' poll sucks for not including either Motorhead or UFO. 'nuff said.
