Jimmy Page Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jimmy Page:

In the wake of the San Francisco scene, ears were alive. It was a listening generation.

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

Jimmy Page

You'll find so many of the guitarists from the '60s will all say Lonnie Donegan was the influence.

Jimmy Page

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

Jimmy Page

I don't really want to go on about my personal beliefs or my involvement in magic. I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to.

Jimmy Page

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.

Jimmy Page

If I'm going to put my image into something, I'll put my image into something that I actually feel like I'd like to do.

Jimmy Page

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.

Jimmy Page

Time sometimes passes quite quickly.

Jimmy Page

The fourth album encapsulated some remarkable music that was really groundbreaking. We were able to have something like 'When the Levee Breaks,' which, sonically, was very menacing. But then you had the flip side: something like 'Going to California,' which is really intimate.

Jimmy Page

Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was - there's no doubt about it. There's never been anybody since. He's one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.

Jimmy Page

Led Zeppelin was an affair of the heart. Each of the members was important to the sum total of what we were.

Jimmy Page

There is no point in putting out 'The Complete BBC Sessions,' and someone's growling that you missed something.

Jimmy Page

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

Jimmy Page

I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.

Jimmy Page

The only way to have time is to shut down and then do what you want to do.

Jimmy Page

From the first album, Led Zeppelin was always going to be a totally new approach from what had gone before - whether it was approaching the blues or folk music like 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You': nothing existed like that.

Jimmy Page

You want that - peers respecting what you're doing.

Jimmy Page

The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.

Jimmy Page

The one person who's disappeared out of the business is the A&R man. Because the listener at home becomes the A&R man. He's the one who chooses what tracks he wants on the album. And that's cool.

Jimmy Page

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.

Jimmy Page

I have one of those gravel-y voices with no range to it.

Jimmy Page

I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing.

Jimmy Page

I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.

Jimmy Page

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.

Jimmy Page

'Communication Breakdown' - it was punchy and direct, with a real attitude that was different to other bands going around.

Jimmy Page

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

Jimmy Page

I've played guitar in so many different styles, and I want to revisit them all.

Jimmy Page

I wasn't on 'You Really Got Me,' but I did play on the Kinks' records.

Jimmy Page

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.

Jimmy Page

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

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

Jimmy Page

I'm pretty loyal to my guitars, you know, but then they're pretty loyal to me, too.

Jimmy Page

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

Jimmy Page

In the wake of the San Francisco scene, ears were alive. It was a listening generation.

Jimmy Page

Listening to John Bonham is just a sheer celebration of his playing - it can't help but fill you with so much joy.

Jimmy Page

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.
