More quotes by 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
Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.
Jimmy Page
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
Jimmy Page
I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
Jimmy Page
I don't go walking into things blind.
Jimmy Page
You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.
Jimmy Page
I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.
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
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
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
Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.
Jimmy Page
All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
Jimmy Page
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
My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.
Jimmy Page
You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
Jimmy Page
I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.
Jimmy Page
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
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
If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.
Jimmy Page
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.
