Page himself has claimed he didn't meet Eddie Phillips until Jim McCarty's 50th birthday party in 1994. Further, and to be fair, there are also pictures of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett using a violin bow in concert.

Are they the band that did the theme tune to Planet Earth? . . . I really like that song, but I may be thinking of someone different . . .

You know Mezzoforte had a hit in England called Garden Party? It was an instrumental: first Icelandic band to have a hit!

Don't recall ever seeing/hearing of Syd using a bow on his guitar, but Roger certainly used one on his bass.

I've never seen Planet Earth, so I don't know. But, I can imagine Sigur Ros's music being used in a show about nature... it has a really glacial sound to it. Here's a link to one of my favorite songs by them... you get a pretty good idea of the cello bow guitar sound here. This song, for obvious reasons, gets compared to Echoes a lot:

page didnt use a violin bow it was a cello bow...a violin bow would be much too small....where is that picture of roger playing with one taken from??

Eddie Phillips, of the much unheralded "CREATION" was using A bow on at least 2 pop classics from 66-67, "Painter Man" & Making Time". Page is a truly fantastic guitar player but after reading that article on him & all the plagerising he's done make him out to be a VERY shady business man & when questioned about it sounds like a politician with his hand caught in the cookie jar. I've lost alot of respect for him as a person & now wonder what's his & what's everyone elses.
