“I remember one particular occasion when I hadn't played a solo for, quite literally, a couple of months. And I was asked to play a solo on a rock & roll thing. I played it and felt that what I'd done was absolute crap. I was so disgusted with myself that I made my mind up that I had to get out of it. It was messing me right up.” MindMadeDonePlayRememberFeltRocksParticularMonthsCoupleAbsolutesOccasionsCrapSoloDisgusted Author:Jimmy Page
“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. ... I 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. ... I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising. ... I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.” IfsThinkingShouldMadeFeltHappenedBuildingArmyHarmonyStructureCriticsGuitarAlbumsSongwritingCompositionVocationAlways BelieveBuilding UpUncompromising Author:Jimmy Page
“I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence, crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age we're in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points he's made seem to manifest themselves all down the line.” FeelsPersonsMadeWholeSeemsAgeLinesTechnologyViolenceCenturyCrimeGeniusLiberationFrustrationMakeupManifestEntity20th CenturyMisunderstoodAlienationRestrictionFoulBreakdownMisunderstood GeniusMental Breakdown Author:Jimmy Page
“I don't want to get too dippy about all this. If you take the view of the scientist and everything is in a state of vibration, then every note is a vibration, which has a certain frequency, and you know that if you put 40 beats into a frequency it's going to be the same note every time. You take that into infrasound and people can be made to be sick, actually killed. Taking it the other way, not to be too depressing, what about euphoria, etc., and what about consciousness being totally... no, I won't go into that one.
