I Suggested Back In 1980 To Do

I Remember One Particular Occasion When I Hadn't Played A Solo For, Quite Literally, A Couple Of Months. And I Was Asked To Play A Solo On A Rock & Roll Thing. I Played It And Felt That What I'd Done Was Absolute Crap. I Was So Disgusted With Myself That I Made My Mind Up That I Had To Get Out Of It. It Was Messing Me Right Up.

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.

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!

You Absorb So Much From Whatever Your Environment Is, As An Artist, And You Learn To Take From It What Can Help You Create.

I Don't Like To Tell People What Format They Can Get Things In, Or Say, "i'm Only Going To Release This On Vinyl And Nothing Else. You Have To Come To My World." I Don't Like To Say That To People Either. But, I Do Think There's A Loss Of Romance.
