Article about a song with almost no historical significance. -- Paul Richter 02:17, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete: Appropriate as a quick mention at either Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page, but this makes one think that Beck has written a Bolero. Geogre 03:16, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Keep: Needs to be expanded. DCEdwards1966 06:25, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
Strong Keep, although it needs another paragraph or too. Pivotal rock and roll record as the Yardbirds morphed into Led Zeppelin; source of a long running feud between Beck and Page over who actually wrote it. The guitar riff is one that many metal heads move onto after they've mastered Smoke On The Water, Satisfaction and the intro to Stairway ... -- GWO
Strong Keep, needs expansion: only collaboration of a rather notable lineup (which led indirectly to the formation of Led Zeppelin), very innovative piece for the time (part of the birth of both heavy metal and progressive rock)... Not my sort of topic to write about, as a rule, but given that we have articles on quite a few individual songs/recordings, this one should be beyond a doubt. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:02, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
Keep it. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 04:44, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There are a number of rock songs, where the guitarist puts in the 2 or 3 second signature motiff of Becks Bolero into the guitar solo, as a tribute to Jeff Beck. Is it within the scope of this article for me to list some of them?. 86.178.167.56 (talk) 13:13, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
What are the dates for the events under background?
The only one I could find was in reference to the recording session (Power talks about it in Beck's solo career, which came later). —Ojorojo (talk) 16:02, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
"Although there is a disagreement about who came up with what" I'm not sure if links to sections within the same article are appropriate. In any case "easter egg links" are frowned upon.
I was told that linking in the same article was preferable to "see below". I think a note is needed, because this disagreement has been the subject of some contentious editing. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:02, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
"but "Beck's Bolero" is the only track to be released." Was?
Sometimes you use quotes, without attributing them to anyone, such as: Page is able take advantage of the instrument's "rich chiming quality to emulate the distinct, orchestral 'bolero' sound"
Same: The amply-distorted guitar provides "a thick-toned, descending riff",[9] which modulates through higher keys. The break, inspired by the Yardbirds' rave-up technique, "eerily presaged the coming era of hard rock and heavy metal".
"Jimmy Page used it in the medley portion of "How Many More Times" How did he "use it", because he played it in the same style? The wording is a bit ambiguous, some might even think he used part of the recording itself.
The part about Page "using" the music would maybe make more sense earlier in the section, he is not just a random cover artist, he may even have done it as a reaction to the crediting troubles, no?
"one of the great rock instrumentals, epic in scope, harmonically and rhythmically ambitious yet infused with primal energy" There should be no text in the intro not found in the article.
Well, that was a quick one! Only problem I see left is some times where something isn't linked at first occurrence, but that's hardly a show stopper for GA, so I'll pass it. FunkMonk (talk) 16:18, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks again FunkMonk. I'll take another look at the links. Also, I moved the "Page used it" sentence to follow the formation of Zeppelin sentence. Revert/change it as you see fit. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
