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.

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

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.

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 know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

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.

My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.

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

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

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.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

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.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.

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.

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.

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.

Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.

I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
