Unreleased Jimmy Page Guitar Riff To Be Retrieved From Secret Vault To Save Rock And Roll

Bravo!

Hmm, I wonder whose riff he stole.

I like the McCartney ‘quote’.

Heh, good answer.

I know humor that needs to be explained loses something, but I don’t get the McCartney quote.

Some black guy. Whose name is only remember by The Lord Our God and who only recieved his reward in Rock & Roll Heaven

My interepretation is they are saying that McCartney was not part of this “protectorate of rock,” and by extention, doesn’t rock.

Speaking as a guitarist who plays a lot of rock, that’s pretty damn funny.

I get the Macca jab, and it’s funny - but I don’t agree with hit. Paperback Writer rocks, period.

Many a truth is told in jest, it would appear.

The James Blunt jab was particularly satisfying for me. I seriously doubt that the proverbial infinite number of monkeys banging on the infinite number of pianos indefinitely could have come up with anything worse than “You’re Beautiful”.

Love the Fall Out Boy reference, too.
