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.
From Jimmy Page
I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.
I really don't listen to Led Zeppelin that much.
I do know there's a lot of music where Led Zeppelin has been leant on. We didn't do anything about it. And I wouldn't want to, either.
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.
I'm involved in all things musical. It's all consuming, even if it doesn't necessarily manifest as a record or a concert.
My first guitar was like a campfire guitar. And it was left at a house that my family had moved into... and the guitar was at the house. It was all strung up. It's normally something that would be beyond a bit of rubbish.
I wasn't on 'You Really Got Me,' but I did play on the Kinks' records.
Jack White is an extraordinary person because he's like a three-dimensional chess player. He thinks so far ahead.
