Good, yes, but always too measured, very conformist, never willing to take risks, to step outside the box (he only did that with cream live), never did anything crazy, anything wild.

Even that script of Page in terms of compositional boldness and courage to explore new paths surpassed him. Ultimately: too bourgeois.
