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.

This week, I'm a gypsy. Maybe next week it'll be glitter rock.

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

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.

Image
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.

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

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.

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.

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

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 don't know whether I'll reach 40. I don't know whether I'll reach 35. I can't be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn't think I'd make 30.

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.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

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

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

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

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
