I’m pretty optimistic about the future of rock… it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.
JIMMY PAGEI’m pretty optimistic about the future of rock… it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t care what critics and other people think.
JIMMY PAGEMusic can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.
JIMMY PAGEEverything that came later… the roots are all there in the first album.
JIMMY PAGEThere’s too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.
JIMMY PAGEThere’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.
JIMMY PAGEI really wasn’t needed. Just straightening up riffs, that’s all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
JIMMY PAGEJust because you play bass, doesn’t mean you have no presence.
JIMMY PAGEDomesticity and all that isn’t really for me.
JIMMY PAGEYou 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.
JIMMY PAGEThere is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That’s a personal point of view but that’s the way I see it. I think that’s what it’s all about. The drive, the fire, the passion – it all comes out on the guitar.
JIMMY PAGEI’m just looking for an angel with a broken wing.
JIMMY PAGEWhen I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I’m not a bloody blues guitarist. I’m a guitarist.
JIMMY PAGEI have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, “I’m only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world.” I don’t like to say that to people either. But, I do think there’s a loss of romance.
JIMMY PAGEOnce 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.
