Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.
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.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

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.

This week, I'm a gypsy. Maybe next week it'll be glitter rock.

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.

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.

Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
Jimmy Page

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
Image
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.

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

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

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