Right from the first time we went to America in 1968, Led Zeppelin was a word-of-mouth thing. You can’t really compare it to how it is today.

JIMMY PAGEI always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.
JIMMY PAGEI have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.
JIMMY PAGEMy guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That’s me. That’s the way I play, and I don’t wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.
JIMMY PAGEI will still carry on changing all the time.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t feel I have to top myself at all.
JIMMY PAGESeeing people’s faces, really getting off on them, makes me incredibly happy. Genuinely.
JIMMY PAGEThere are very few people I can call real, close friends. They’re very, very precious to me.
JIMMY PAGEFrom the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it’s amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.
JIMMY PAGEI 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 PAGEThere’s too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.
JIMMY PAGEThis week, I’m a gypsy. Maybe next week it’ll be glitter rock.
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 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 PAGEI’m still terrified of flying. I really have to get drunk to fly. I’ve found that I’ve developed fears I never had before… fears of heights, claustrophobia only in cities, though, never in the country.
