What 60's band first used a violin bow by their guitarist?phantom of the opera

From what I seem to recall, and I am very old, the first person to bow a guitar in rock was Eddie Phillips of the UK mod/psych band the 'Creation'.

The name of the song(s) were 'Painter Man' and 'Making Time', from the album titled 'We Are Paintermen'.

Jimmy Page was a session man before the Yardbirds, and employed by famed producer Shel Talmy. One of Shels bands at the time were the Creation. Jimmy Page was influenced by Eddie Phillips technique.

Led Zeppelin: innovators or plagiarists? Jimmy Page: genius or charlatan? You decide!

Here's the video of Painterman:

FYI, the first person credited to to using a bowed electric bass was Louis Cennamo who played with many great bands in the 60's and 70's including; 'Steamhammer', 'Renaissance', 'Colosseum', and and the mid 70's heavy rock group led by ex Yardbird frontman Keith Relf called 'Armageddon'.

NO.......not true.

Page did not introduce the bow on the guitar.

But d@mn it since I don't recall right this second

who he himself says he'd gotten it from.

Sorry. But I've helped thus far...

EDIT...Note: Page has stated who the culprit

was and pretty much down to the very session

in the studio or stage from which he'd gleaned it.

For the life of me I can't pinpoint it nor remember

the source.

2nd EDIT...Thank you, CR. Thus, I "bow" out.
