just to clarify that whole sports thing i'm gonna say people aruge all the time who the best athlete of all time is. If you're a hockey fan you'll probably say gretsky, a ball fan, probably MJ. I'm a ball fan and I like MJ. I'm a phish fan and I like trey.
I'm gonna start this out by putting out there that i'm HUGE phish fan, and trey is my favorite guitar player ever, but this argument is nuts. They play the guitar in totally different ways...i like trey more than JP because of his style but JP shreds with VERY select company. You wouldn't compare MJ to Gretsky....and you would have a hard time arguing Shaq vs. WIlt. It just can't be done.
i love phish and have seen a bunch of shows, and as sick as trey is on this song, fishman shines, he holds it down for bonham in 93' and this year's tour as well
Jimmy was loose for style almost. Listen to communication breakdown. It IS LOOSE but that is what makes it interesting. If it was tight it wouldn't be what it was supposed to be. Find a guitarist who can play well with a metronome.
im a huge zep fan, and i havent heard much of phish's material. but after hearing they performed this song last night at fenway park, i had to check their cover of it. turns out im impressed, and this guy trey can really shred. props to them for taking on such an incredible song and not destroying it.
Who cares if Jimmy was a little sloppy? I admit when the herion started affecting him he started to go down, and sometimes it was kinda hard to watch him mess up, but have you ever tried to play was page plays!!! Everybody would mess up and be sloppy sometimes because its hard and fucking awesome!!! I think he is the closest you can get to perfection
They are both great, but Page invented an art, and so did Trey, but nobody had even heard anything like Led Zeppelin before they came along, and same goes for Phish, although there were bands in the 90s similar, but never as good. The only problem I have with Trey is that I think he can be pretty arogant, although Page was shy. They are both great but no matter how hard you try, you just can't match Zeppelin
All i have to say about this argument between page and trey is just look at the video, granted its shitty quality but u get the picture. Trey plays it better than page would live anyways. Its smoother and trey is more consistent. And one more thing and i know all of the phish fans would agree, listen to you enjoy myself and tell me that zeppelin could comprise a song like that, no zeppelin songs would never compare to the masterpiece that is YEM. : )
if you wanna settle an argument of who is better, all i see is phish covering zeppelin, you dont see zep covering phish when ever they get back together and play do you, page is the most creatve guitarist of all time, every one bows down to themaster
Phish grew up listening to Zep. Just like Zep grew up listening to deep mississippi blues and basically adding electric guitar to those traditional blues tunes.
Trey is much more creative than Jimmy Page. He has a wider spectrum of influences.
r u kidding me, page was englands top session guitarist in the sixties, do you know how many styles he had to master, folk, soul, rock, blues, pop, funk, classical, big band. page is probably the most well rounded guitarist to ever appear in the rock and roll scene. trey is good, but page is way better. There is a reason why page is considered a "guitar hero," and trey is just looked at as another great guitarist.
no, jimmy page has never once been accused of plagirizing a riff, your confusing it with robert plant annoying habit of taking lyrics from other songs. see people dont do research on zeppelin, but because of there emense popularity, people hear things about them and remember that one fact, twist it, and try to talk about zeppelin like they've done research. so that is not "FACT" at all my friend, you really need to do research before you critizes the genious of page, he is very original.
i never said that he's been accused of plagiarizing a riff, but you can tell many zeppelin resemble basic, familiar blues riffs with page just shredding complete balls over them. not to discredit page, trey is just far more creative and if you actually listened to phish you'd know that
Page is a whole different era. I liked zep but these guys know how to get the audience going. Page is conceited but has every reason to be, money, and thats what it comes down to. Phish are so down to Earth and theyre great musicians. Phish's musical ethos is a mix of improvisation, rock, jazz, bluegrass, reggae, Latin (salsa), heavy metal, folk, blues, country, progressive rock, acoustic, and classical. Long live Phish!!
Oh yeah and Mart Trey and phish were never mainstream except for their video down with disease. Phish started an underground revolution. Led Zeppelin never did that, so suck my dick and in my opinion trey is a much more creative guitar player and rock a lot harder in his live performances.
I couldn't compare Jimmy to Trey because they have totally different styles. I would have to agree that Jimmy is sloppier than Trey in his live performances. All i have to say is that Trey brings his own sound that is just flat out amazing I think. His live performances are some of the most innovative you will hear on guitar. Thats all I have to say, and oh yeah hope Phish does get back together with all the hype about it, but then again it's all just words. :)
Yeah, i have to admit Trey pretty much melted everyones face in there. And as far as the JP vs Trey goes....Trey def. wins in my opinion. His playing is more complex than that of Jimmy's and as far as i know has never been sloppy live. No offense to Jimmy, he was without a doubt amazing, but he was very sloppy at some if not most of his live performances. Plus you CANT EVEN SAY JIMMY WAS BETTER, simply because Trey was SINGING AND PLAING!!! The day JP does that let me know and then we can argue
Actually, Jimmy Page sings and plays in his debut album "Jimmy Page and his Heavy Friends" and sings backup while playing on songs such as Communication Breakdown.
Trey might be a better day-to-day technical excecuter, but he hasn't written a lick of his own worth covering and mos def lacks feel and soul. Jimmy was a superior innovator. Trey's best day couldn't even touch Jimmy's. Not that he can't play or anything. He's good and all. Singing doesn't make you a better guitar player.
Mart, dummy he already has....plus I didn't know this was a contest.
Rift, Hoist, Junta, Lawn Boy, Billy Breathes, Story of the Ghost, Farmhouse, The Sicket Disc, Round Room, Undermind, Picture of Necture....shall I go on? This could take a while. All these albums will worshiped by fans for decades. Don't give me shit saying those albums suck. I'm sure a lot of Dr.Dre fans think Zepplin sucks. Can we argue now?
this is nowhere near as good as zeppelins version. First off, this solo is typical pentatonic E. The most widely used key for blues and rock. So anyone could of done a performance equally to this. this is a blues rock song, Trey is using way too much distortion for this.
Blew jimmy page out of the water??? Dude, put the huka downn, There is only ONE grand sorcerer, with the magic fingers and it ain't Trey. Trey woul bow a jimmy's bow!!!
yea buddy, its called doing a cover song, but maybe you dont know enough about music to know what that is? Its ok, Phish is clearly to geneius for you to handle.
He's Plant and Page rolled into one! I have an amazing version of them doing this song. I also have several LZ bootlegs. You know what? Phish is much tighter!
@gonernegro: "its one thing to rip a band off" -- Uh, who did they rip off? Dead? Yeah, right...
um im sorry but zeppelin could have used trey..he was a better guitarist....although i dont think trey would fit in cause he would want to play more complex shit...JP just did simple riffs...trey is just having fun here...
Does anyone really think that Coventry or any of Phish's last years can come close to this performance or better yet any show from the 90's. Maybe I'm just getting older and I'm biased towards seeing them during this period!
Agree with the guy saying that Dead and Phish CANNOT be compared- I consider them both my favorite bands. The guy saying this was better than Coventry is a cust, yeah 04 was prime. pshhhhh
WHY DO YOU COMPARE THE TWO? The Dead and Phish are two different but great bands. I love Jerry and the boys and feel the same way about Phish. I look at it this way, When I need a spiritual uplifting I go to the Dead. When I want to let it all hang out, Trey helps!
trimbo, i was lucky enough to have seen both bands extensively. Phish was, at the height of their power, a better, more practised, more revolutionary, unique band than the Dead, not to mention in another dimension technically speaking.
