It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.

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.

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

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'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.

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

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.

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.

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

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
Image
There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

I like change and I like contrast.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

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.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

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.
