I'm Over 30 Now, But I Didn't

You Don't Find Geniuses In Street Musicians, But That Doesn't Mean To Say You Can't Be Really Good.

We Kept Moving Forward And Didn't Try To Recreate The Past .. The Approach To Each Album Was Radically Different Every Time. Many Bands Would Have Some Success And, Because They Were Locked Into Having A Single - Something We Didn't Have To Worry About - They Had To Make Sure There Was Something Similar On The Next Album ... That Was Never The Idea With Led Zeppelin .. The Goal Was To Keep That Spark Of Spontaneity At All Times.

Many People Think Of Me As Just A Riff Guitarist, But I Think Of Myself In Broader Terms. As A Musician I Think My Greatest Achievement Has Been To Create Unexpected Melodies And Harmonies Within A Rock And Roll Framework. And As A Producer I Would Like To Be Remembered As Someone Who Was Able To Sustain A Band Of Unquestionable Individual Talent, And Push It To The Forefront During Its Working Career. I Think I Really Captured The Best Of Our Output, Growth, Change And Maturity On Tape - The Multifaceted Gem That Is Led Zeppelin.

I'm Obsessed - Not Just Interested, Obsessed - With Folk Music, Street Music, The Parallels Between A Country's Street Music And Its So-called Classical And Intellectual Music, The Way Certain Scales Have Travelled Right Across The Globe. All This Ethnological And Musical Interaction Fascinates Me. Have You Heard Any Trance Music? That's The Thing.

There's Too Many Good Musicians Around For The Music Around For The Business To Be Sagging.
