Interesting indeed.  I remember reading an interview with Jimmy Paige in
Kerrang Magazine.  The article stated that Jimmy felt sorry for people who
could only listen to one type of music and not experience different styles.
Too bad Jimmy didn't take his own advice and listen to Van Halen.  He would
have heard the greatest guitarist since he last heard himself play with Zep.

The article in Kerrang also stated that Jimmy never heard Eddie Van Halen 
play with Van Halen but, that he was impressed with the guitar work Eddie did
on Michael Jackson's "Beat It."
