It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
Jimmy Page
Image
I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.
Jimmy Page
Image
I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.
Jimmy Page
Image
You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
Jimmy Page
Image
My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
Jimmy Page
Image
Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.
Jimmy Page
Image
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
Image
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.

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

Image
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.

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.

Image
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
Image
The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.
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.
Jimmy Page
Image
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
Image
If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.
Jimmy Page
Image
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
Image
The term genius gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.
Jimmy Page
Image
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

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.
