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

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
Jimmy Page
Image
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

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

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.

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.

Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.

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

There's so many different styles and facets of the 360-degree musical sphere to listen to. From tribal to classical music, it's all there. If the bottom was to sag out of that, for God's sake, help us all.
Jimmy Page
Image
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.

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.

I had another idea of getting a traveling medicine wagon with a dropdown side and traveling around England. That might sound crazy to you, but over there it's so rural you can do it. Just drop down the side and play through big battery amps and mixers and it can all be as temporary or as permanent as I want it to be.

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.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

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.
Jimmy Page
Image
I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

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

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.
