Jimmy Page Quotes

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I’ve got to do is keep playing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I started doing sessions, the guitar was in vogue. I was playing solos every day Picture Quote #1

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly Picture Quote #1

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty optimistic about the future of rock... it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz Picture Quote #1

Crowley didn’t have a very high opinion of women, and I don’t think he was wrong Picture Quote #1

We went in and recorded exactly where we were at that point in time. I think because of the quality of musicianship of the band has given it the longevity. I thought the music would endure, I didn’t think I would... I always thought I’d be dead by 30, then dead by 40 and on and on. Now I’m 55 so I didn’t even die at 50 Picture Quote #1

I really don’t like showing people how I play things; it’s a little embarrassing because it always looks so simple to me Picture Quote #1

We were never a band that did 96 takes of the same thing. I had heard of groups that were into that kind of excess around that time. They’d work on the same track for three or four days and then work on it some more, but that’s clearly not the way to record an album. If the track isn’t happening and it creates some sort of psychological barrier, even after an hour or two, then you should stop and do something else. Go out: go to the pub, or a restaurant or something. Or play another song Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, I must admit, I’d like to have a second guitarist onstage with me, but it wouldn’t look right. I’d like to play for another 20 years, but I don’t know... I just can’t see it happening. I don’t know why. It’s a certain foreboding... a funny feeling... vultures Picture Quote #1

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I really wasn’t needed... Just straightening up riffs, that’s all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one Picture Quote #1

I suggested back in 1980 to do a chronological live album, but there wasn’t that much enthusiasm for it Picture Quote #1

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. Time warps Picture Quote #1

I’m still terrified of flying. I really have to get drunk to fly. I’ve found that I’ve developed fears I never had before... fears of heights, claustrophobia... only in cities, though, never in the country Picture Quote #1

... you never knew what was going to happen in concert. It was a really exciting prospect to go onstage, and you can hear that in the live recordings... wherever we were and whatever year it was, we always went onstage determined to do our best Picture Quote #1

... if you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren’t overly influenced by what others were doing... so it didn’t matter what other bands were doing... we did what we were doing Picture Quote #1

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn’t teach it in school Picture Quote #1
