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.

More quotes by Jimmy Page
I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.
Jimmy Page
The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.
Jimmy Page
Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.
Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.
Jimmy Page
The only term I won't accept is genius.
Jimmy Page
You never knew what was going to happen in concert. It was a really exciting prospect to go onstage, and you can hear that in the live recordings ... wherever we were and whatever year it was, we always went onstage determined to do our best.
Jimmy Page
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a speciļ¬c moment is what drives it.
Jimmy Page
I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
Jimmy Page
I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
Jimmy Page
I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.
Jimmy Page
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.
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
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
There's a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term genius, but you're treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.
Jimmy Page
My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.
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
My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
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
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.
