With Led Zeppelin, it has always been that mystique of how the music is done - how it works, why it works.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our intent with Led Zeppelin was not to get caught up in the singles' market, but to make albums where you could really flex your muscles - your musical intellect, if you like - and challenge yourself.
Led Zeppelin was a band that would change things around substantially each time it played... We were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point of telepathy.
I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.
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.
The thing about Led Zeppelin was that it was always four musicians at the top of their game, but they could play like a band.
Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.
It's good to be in a position to know that I've inspired musicians, from what I've learned to lay down personally, and collectively with Led Zeppelin.
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.
I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.
