More quotes by Jimmy Page
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.

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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.
Jimmy Page
So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.
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
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
The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
Jimmy Page
There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.
Jimmy Page
Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.
Jimmy Page
You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.
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
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.
