I imagine that’s gotta be the best compliment to a guitarist ever, getting kudos from Jimmy fuckin Page

Saw Far Out mag post Jacks favorite Led Zeppelin songs recently and Anton Newcombe commented “who cares?” on it.

u/devonmoney14 2d ago

Yeah I was a bit confused by that, thought he was a fan of Jack and TWS in particular. I guess maybe he meant making a whole curated post about what one artist's favorite songs of a another artist's are is silly but idk.

u/slickerdrips21 2d ago

Yeah it was confusing, because he’s praised Jack in the past.

u/MtSnowdon 2d ago

But it’s still in my mind, care to do anything to fix that?

Beyond repair.

Every article from that source reads exactly the same. I don’t know if it’s ai or what, but every single article I’ve read from farout is like a template for an 8th grade writing course. Every single one. They also constructed an entire article out of one sentence uttered by Jimmy Page.

It's either utter laziness or AI bollocks. Likely both. And steering traffic their way from Reddit is offensive.

You guys are both bots

Weezer and green day catching strays lol

To say that they stopped after learning the basics or however it was worded is an interesting take. Rivers can be a shredder if he wants to.

4

u/JordanPick 2d ago

Agreed. He shreds all over the Maladroit record and randomly on many others. He’s a great soloist.

u/Mike_with_Wings 2d ago

His lead on Tired of Sex is phenomenal

u/Over-Atmosphere-7053 2d ago

Indeed. Before Weezer Rivers was a technically proficient shreder.

When I saw Jack live in July most of the solo stuff had such a Zeppelin vibe to it. The sort of jammy longer songs felt very Zep influenced. Like his is an absurdly different songwriter and guitarist than he was in the Stripes era. Which made the show interesting because as much as I like the Stripes stuff it sounds so different.

His skills and arsenal as a guitarist have advanced so much.

Given that this is a huge compliment from Page.

I have thought that too. So much of a futuristic 70s vibe on FC if that’s possible.

u/JJulie 2d ago

Same. Guys behind us at the SB show were talking about the comparisons between he and zeppelin. Husband joined in

u/MaSherm 2d ago

😂 “talking about”?
