My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

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.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

The only term I won't accept is genius.

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
Jimmy Page
Image
The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

There's always music that moves me. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It's usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
