The Beauty Of The Band Was You

But If You Want Me To Knock Kingdom Come, All I Will Say Is That I Heard The Guitarist Said He'd Never Heard My Playing, And I'd Defy Any Guitarist In American Not To Have Heard Led Zeppelin.

I Had Another Idea Of Getting A Traveling Medicine Wagon With A Dropdown Side And Traveling Around England. That Might Sound Crazy To You, But Over There It's So Rural You Can Do It. Just Drop Down The Side And Play Through Big Battery Amps And Mixers And It Can All Be As Temporary Or As Permanent As I Want It To Be.

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.

I Don't Go Walking Into Things Blind.

You Get As Much Out Of Rock & Roll Artistically As You Put Into It. There's Nobody Who Can Teach You. You're On Your Own And That's What I Find So Fascinating About It.
