The difference between Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page is that Page fully respects the greatness which was Led Zeppelin.
Eddie disrespects the greatness that was classic Van Halen.
When Jimmy Page brought in other singers to replace Robert Plant, he didn't try to rip off the public by calling it "Led Zeppelin". Since Page respected what he did with Plant, and his fans as well for that matter, he called his band with Paul Rogers "The Firm". NOT "Led Zeppelin". He called his band with David Coverdale "Coverdale Page". NOT "Led Zeppelin". Hell he even called his classics cover band with Plant by a different name.
Eddie on the other hand disrespects the greatness which was classic Van Halen, and the fans, by calling his band with Hagar by the name "Van Halen". He refuses to respect the legacy that was classic Van Halen. He happily rips off fans that don't know any better (the uninformed) and fans that are too stupid to know better (the sheep) by calling his new band "Van Halen".
It is really unfortunate because I think classic Van Halen was as great as Led Zeppelin.
Too bad Eddie doesn't agree with me.
