More quotes by Jimmy Page
I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.
Jimmy Page
I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
Jimmy Page
You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.
Jimmy Page
I don't go walking into things blind.
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.
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
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.
Jimmy Page
You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.
Jimmy Page
The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
Jimmy Page
Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.
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 specific moment is what drives it.
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
Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.
Jimmy Page
My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
Jimmy Page
Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'
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
