More quotes by Jimmy Page
The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
Jimmy Page
I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
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
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
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.
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
All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
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
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
The only term I won't accept is genius.
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
Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.
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 speciļ¬c moment is what drives it.
Jimmy Page
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
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.
Jimmy Page
The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.
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
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.
Jimmy Page
