Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.
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 always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
Image
I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.
Jimmy Page
Image
I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.
Jimmy Page
Image
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.

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.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.

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

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
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
Image
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.

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
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.
Jimmy Page
Image
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
Image
I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.
Jimmy Page
Image
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.
