“There is no way I would play guitar like a tour de force like I did in Led Zeppelin. John Bonham, phenomenal drummer, young man with his technique, but do you think he would ever have the opportunity to play like that in another band?

“There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever.

“Many people think of me as just a riff guitarist, but I think of myself in broader terms. As a musician I think my greatest achievement has been to create unexpected melodies and harmonies within a rock and roll framework. And as a producer I would like to be remembered as someone who was able to sustain a band of unquestionable individual talent, and push it to the forefront during its working career. I think I really captured the best of our output, growth, change and maturity on tape - the multifaceted gem that is Led Zeppelin.” PeopleThinkingHas BeensAbleIndividualGrowthTermCareersRocksTalentBandAchievementMusicianHarmonyProducersRememberedMaturityUnexpectedMelodyTapeRock And RollFrameworkCapturedThink Of MeGemsGuitaristOutputZeppelinsGreatest AchievementIndividual TalentMelody And Harmony Author:Jimmy Page
“Well, Led Zeppelin IV! That's it really. I'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. And then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. So we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' That way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!” PeopleWayWellsSaidStillsRecordsDirectThirdsAlbumsReactionsTitlesFedsReviewsHypeFed UpContinuationZeppelinsBad Reviews Author:Jimmy Page

“We kept moving forward and didn't try to recreate the past .. the approach to each album was radically different every time. Many bands would have some success and, because they were locked into having a single - something we didn't have to worry about - they had to make sure there was something similar on the next album ... that was never the idea with Led Zeppelin .. the goal was to keep that spark of spontaneity at all times.” TryingIdeasDifferentPastMovingNextGoalMusicWorryBandApproachAlbumsMoving ForwardAll TimeSparksLockedSpontaneityZeppelins Author:Jimmy Page
“Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd.
