More quotes by Jimmy Page
It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
Jimmy Page
I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.
Jimmy Page
The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.
Jimmy Page
The term genius gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.
Jimmy Page
Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.
Jimmy Page
But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page
I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world. I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.
Jimmy Page
So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?
Jimmy Page
If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.
Jimmy Page
You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.
Jimmy Page
I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
Jimmy Page
Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.
Jimmy Page
Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.
Jimmy Page
All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
Jimmy Page
There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever. If anything ever happened and somebody left - which I really can't see happening - I don't think we'd bother to carry on. The magic for me is as it is now.
Jimmy Page
Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.
Jimmy Page
The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.
Jimmy Page
The only term I won't accept is genius.
Jimmy Page
Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.
Jimmy Page
I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.
Jimmy Page
