I guess the solo from ‘Achilles Last Stand’ is in the same tradition as the solo from ‘Stairway to Heaven’ It is on that level to me.

JIMMY PAGEThis week, I’m a gypsy. Maybe next week it’ll be glitter rock.
JIMMY PAGESometimes, I must admit, I’d like to have a second guitarist onstage with me, but it wouldn’t look right. I’d like to play for another 20 years, but I don’t know. I just can’t see it happening. I don’t know why. It’s a certain foreboding. A funny feeling. Vultures.
JIMMY PAGEMusic is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.
JIMMY PAGEThere’s always music that moves me. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It’s usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.
JIMMY PAGEA lot of people can’t be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn’t bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.
JIMMY PAGEI 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.
JIMMY PAGEI 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.
JIMMY PAGEI really wasn’t needed. Just straightening up riffs, that’s all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
JIMMY PAGEI’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 PAGEAlmost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was – there’s no doubt about it. There’s never been anybody since. He’s one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
JIMMY PAGEMy favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall’s on `Reelin’ In The Years’.
JIMMY PAGESo many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there’s so many chances you have to take.
JIMMY PAGEI really don’t like showing people how I play things; it’s a little embarrassing because it always looks so simple to me.
JIMMY PAGEI know where I’m going musically. I can see my pattern and I’m going much slower than I thought I’d be going.
JIMMY PAGEI believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.
