I don’t think that you can rehash music that was born in the Fillmore East and came from a whole different set of social and emotional circumstances. The situation has changed. Let’s get real about this.
ROBERT PLANTI don’t think that you can rehash music that was born in the Fillmore East and came from a whole different set of social and emotional circumstances. The situation has changed. Let’s get real about this.
ROBERT PLANTI’m British – ostensibly British – but I don’t know where I really belong, you know?
ROBERT PLANTI treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
ROBERT PLANTCome into my life, here where nothing matters. Come into my life, roll away the gloom.
ROBERT PLANTLately, I’m spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream – almost dissolving into another world, musically.
ROBERT PLANTI was competing for attention in a four-piece band that was phenomenal, and I was trying to attack the blues from a kind of white English viewpoint as a singer.
ROBERT PLANTIt’s not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
ROBERT PLANTSoon, I’m going to need help crossing the street.
ROBERT PLANTI’ve lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity which I try and avoid.
ROBERT PLANTI wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.
ROBERT PLANTDolly Parton’s done ‘Stairway to Heaven.’ Anything’s possible.
ROBERT PLANTI know that bands that haven’t put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that’s not the achievement.
ROBERT PLANTYou know sometimes words have two meanings.
ROBERT PLANTPeople have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That’s the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There’s plenty of air around you.
ROBERT PLANTI absolutely adore and idolise women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I’ve met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life.
ROBERT PLANTFinding another way to do what I know I can do pretty well. A way that stimulates me. I’m always on some sort of learning curve. If I can continually be surprised then I’m alert.
