I can't think of a greater gu...

I can't think of a greater guitar icon than someone who has the musical intellect to change what was there before and take music in another direction. That's a guitar hero for me.

I don't think drums had ever sounded so big until Led Zeppelin's first album.

I really don't listen to Led Zeppelin that much.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

You get a chance like that ma...

You get a chance like that maybe once in your lifetime, and you are lucky to sustain it over that period of time. It doesn't mean to say that whatever I do in the future has no substance to it - I may present some new material I've got, and there are definitely new angles of doing it - but I'm not looking to recreate another Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

Because somebody plays guitar...

Because somebody plays guitar, why does it mean they need a singer? Because people already have this image of things? No, I'll put my music together, then think about whether I need to embellish it with a singer.

I seem to have tireless energy when I get involved in things, on an almost OCD basis, which is a good way to do things because if you're gonna do something, you'd better make sure you do it well.

'Boogie Chillen',' by John Lee Hooker - that is a riff.

That's one of the problems with the Zeppelin stuff. It sounds ridiculous on MP3. You can't hear what's there properly.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

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

Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

If I pick up a guitar, I don'...

If I pick up a guitar, I don't practise scales. I never have. I come up with something I haven't done before, new approaches to chord sequences, riffs, rhythms, so it becomes composition. It's not like the music I'm doing is just a single thread.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

The whole thing about 'The Ro...

The whole thing about 'The Rover' is the whole swagger of it, the whole guitar attitude swagger. I'm afraid I've got to say it, but it's the sort of thing that is so apparent when you hear 'Rumble' by Link Wray - it's just total attitude, isn't it?

I would say New York, Chicago, Memphis, and Los Angeles were my favorites.

Time sometimes passes quite quickly.

Playing in my early bands, working as a studio musician, producing and going to art school was, in retrospect, my apprenticeship. I was learning and creating a solid foundation of ideas, but I wasn't really playing music.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

But to put out a greatest hit...

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

It was an extraordinary connection, the synergy within the band. There was an area of ESP between Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and myself.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

The passing of John Bonham......

The passing of John Bonham... Let's just put it... Before we say, 'the passing of John Bonham,' the introduction of John Bonham on the first album and 'Good Times Bad Times,' it changes drumming overnight.

Jimmy Page 88 quotes

I play like I play. You hear ...

I play like I play. You hear it on 'Celebration Day.' It's pretty good for a one-night shot.
