Planet Rock's Liz Barnes speaks to Jimmy Page about the new, remastered version of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti and the previously unheard material on the companion disc.
YES ! Honestly , i feel the same way! One of the funnest things I’ve come across in my ENTIRE life IS Led Zeppelin. There STILL entertaining me and NOT JUST musically , but the whole damn thing! Their history their stories,Plants funny quotes, everything ,their solo careers!
@@DiamondCutter423you didn’t think of that because you aren’t a serious musician and it’s not your job. If you were a doctor you would understand a lot about medicine and bodies. Like wise a musician and music.
He is and wil be my Nr 1 Forever ! He got the Coolest Style of em all , his Work and Guitar sounds on the Led Zeppelin Records are the FUCKING BEST .. YES , Hendrix was THE CAT , i mean He sings to , and was maybe the Nr 1 Legend , But as a Creator ,Producer , Live Player ( He got Custom 200 W Marshall´s for the "Houses of the Holy Tour 1973 so Cool ) James "Jimmy" Patrick Page... Favourite Songs : Heartbreaker, Nobodys fault but mine , Achilles last stand ,Ten years gone , No Quarter (His Live SOlos ...SUPERBE !) All His Blues stuff like "I can´t quit you" Dazed and Confused , i mean there is not ONE single bad song in the LZ Catalogue , even the "not so good songs" are still Fucking Great .... Jimmy Page is a Gentleman of Hard Rock , and THE ICON ! I FUCKING LOVE to Play the old Zeppelin Stuff .....
@@charlesdjones1 sì ma bisogna vedere a cosa mira la ragazza... Sta con lui a 74 anni perché è Jimmy Page altrimenti non lo guardava neanche. Tutto ciò mi fa una rabbia 😠😠
Imagine coming in weeks or months later and being presented a song like Kashmir and then having the enormous task of putting words to it.. Plant deserves all the adulation he's received too.
There was so much mystery about Zeppelin before the internet, but it’s awesome to here the answers to questions I’ve wondered over the years from the man himself. It’s great that Jimmy did not have a guitar centered ego, and allowed the drums to have a bigger part in the music. What a genius!!
I've been following Jimmy and Zep since 1974, and I've always appreciated everything about him. But interviews like this one really showcase how he's an artist in the "true sense" - doing what is true to yourself - but also how intelligent he is and how much common sense he has.
Jimmy was a very good guitar player for his day, but brilliant in his ability to arrange music and also equally brilliant as a producer. You can't give him enough credit for how awesome Zeppelin sounded!
@@mjp96 I'm with you, if I could have any guitar player in a band I'd take 68-78 Jimmy. I do like guys like Nuno and Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci though.
Shredders do something different, moahhhrrr notes iz better is absolute bollox. You need to dig deep into Page, Jimi and Blackmore solos to realise that taste is a thing, accompanying the rest of the band matters. Being apparently antagonistic also works so Angus Young is a great too. Technical fast players who miss the soul in the rock n roll, are merely boring and detached, no matter how brilliant from a technical point of view their performance is.
Jimmy states it, and I'd like to emphasize just how rare the circumstances surrounding this band were. Four master musicians stimulatingly peaking as one unit. I don't think it could ever happen again. No other band like them! The only downfall to being a member is such a great band like Led Zeppelin, no member can be replaced.
Led Zepp...unlike the Beatles, who created incredible chemistry by years of playing together, NEVER played together, and barely knew each other, when they thrown together within a few weeks, out of an emergency, when the Yardbirds disintegrated leaving Jimmy Page with an unfilled touring contract. Yes, the most perfect chemistry in music history was a lottery ticket.
Jimmy Page is magnificent and the best as an older man. The good connotation of an older man. So glad he's still here to tell about those experiences. I have the same birthday as JP and almost the same astrological chart, I just recently discovered. I can only hope I'm as lucid and interesting when I'm there, 20 years from now.
Jimmy, a living treasure for us that feel his music is out of this world. Still sounds outstanding, a real inspiration to musicians and the public alike. Keep on rocking Jimmy, come on one more album please.
@@robinjohnson7716 Judge NOT, least thee be judged...REMEMBER⁉️ Apparently, not, unsurprisingly, as it's a very typical, but major, HYPOCRITICAL, oversight, seemingly, made by the vast majority of, consequently, so-called, Christians, past & present, sadly. It certainly isn't easy, but most people don't even TRY, despite it being a command from JESUS, himself, and therefore, an indivisible cornerstone of Christianity...
Glad a lot of young people are appreciating this music today. Of course, there was nothing like going to the record store in 1975 at age 13, buying Physical Graffiti, throwing it on the turntable, and playing it for days.
@@9wenwilson210 Yeah, it must of been really refreshing for old Jimmy, after "keeping company," on the road at least, with, mostly, 14 & 15 year olds...LMAO‼️😏♥️🎵Jimmy Page🎶😀
That was good. 40 years since Physical Graffiti was released?! Wow. Where has the Time gone? I bought it a couple of days before its official release 'cos it was in my local record shop. Stunning. So many great songs. Anyway, thanks for posting this as I hadn't seen or heard it before. Thanks again.
Jimmy is in his twilight years now ..but close your eyes and he talks like a thirty year old ..very very," With it" ..and his voice is still young also .
The REAL reason why Led Zeppelin were able to "span the musical landscape" as the intervieweress said was not because of their musical greatness, but simply because they had a 100% honest and loyal, fierce no nonsense BULLDOG of a manager in Peter Grant and that they were signed to their own record company so by this time they could do what they wanted. As was true from Led Zep I because Jimmy put the money up to record the album from his savings. No advance and HUGE sales from the first release means the band had 100% artistic control, which is the real reason Led Zep were the greatest.
People who dislike this don't get A Whole Lotta Love.I grew up with Led Zeppelin from the beginning and Jimmy Page was one of the reasons i picked up a guitar(among all the other great bands from that decade).I wore out many a vinyl learning the riffs and acoustic guitar parts,even the bass.These interviews are priceless and he's such a great guy.I actually met Robert Plant in Montreal once when he was there for a tour with his solo band(1983).He was looking for socks.I told him where to buy them and told him i was at his show the night before.He was so shy and humble and wondered if i liked the new music.That's my Led Zeppelin story!Cheers from Canada!
That live version of Ten Years Gone from the badge holders concert is soooo epic I fell in love with this long lanky woman as I discovered that song also and I did know if it was the song or the woman. 12 years later now ,I know it was both..
he is maybe the only Person , when i would have the Luck to met him , i would fell on my knees .. Jimmy Page : THANK YOU for this ABSOLUTE Great Music (Led Zep = part of Soundtrack of my life ) Thank you for Hours and Hours of great great Music ...
At Liz Barnes- I loved your interviewing with Jimmy.. The passion he still for music you let him freely talk about it.. Thank you❣️ ‘Trampled Underfoot’ actually my top fave song.. You can tell from Jimmy the respect & love he had with Led Zep 🔥 (Watching 1rst time 11/2019)
I saw Zep Feb 7,1975 at the Garden. Physical Graffiti was late and was released 15 or 17 days later. No worries the played " Kashmir" " Sick Again" " In My Time of Dying" and " Trampled Underfoot". Plants voice was affected by the flu. I didnt care! I saw Led Zeppelin!!!!! Bought the LP for like $6 or $7 and Loved it ever since. At the time I didn't know it was leftover songs. During High School for me 3 Zep albums were released. ( Song Remains the Same a few months after I had left school.) Those were the Days!!!
Fantastic interview! I love hearing Jimmy talk with so much passion about his music. Physical Graffiti was the first Led Zeppelin album I bought. I liked their music that I'd heard on the radio before, but to finally be able to completely immerse myself (with headphones) into the whole uninterrupted magic... absolutely nothing better. Brought me Into the Light.
Ill never forget Plant doing Black Country Woman on the Now and Zen tour. Made my night! Or Page and Plant opening with the Wanton Song on the last show of their 95 North America tour at the Gorge in Washington.
She's right about 10 years gone. When I lived in Istanbul I visited Amsterdam and managed to return to my flat in Üsküdar with some hash and I smoked it and played that song. When I hear it today it brings back that moment in some way. Powerful. I'm so thankful to be living on Earth at the same time as him.
To me, Graffiti is their very best album. On that album, there are songs that cover more textures than anything that has come before it or since. This is Zeppelin's Peppers album. When this album was originally released, I bought it and wore out the grooves in the vinyl. In My Time of Dying with Jimmy playing slide on his Danelectro; that is a song that sticks to your bones. I've always said that the greatest output in a ten year period of the best music was 1968 to 1978. I was there for all of it and Physical Graffiti informed my tastes in music and has inspired my own guitar and bass playing. It is an amazing album and it is better served playing it from the beginning until the end. Rinse and repeat. Jimmy, thank you for a lifetime of influence and inspiration.
It's there best album ever ever they have there own original sound havant heard phyisical graffitti since 1975 now 2022 sounds better then ever so fresh.
I Love Love guitars, music, and beautiful men. My husband and Jimmy talk about the physics of music, instruments and guitar pedals! Jimmy’s gift of recording and creating music can never be matched! Thanks for your kindness and sharing of all technical information.
A very, very rich time of my love for this band. I wasn't even over this album, and then they made "Presence ", which for me, was almost an apocalyptic experience and I was very disappointed by the fans who didn't like it. I thought it was the epitome of the hard rock experience that these same fans complained about the band abandoning on the third album.
Sucks to get old, thats why I hate watching these videos, in my mind they were indestructible with a destiny to live on forever, it was never to turn out like this, sucks to get old
I got into Zeppelin in 1994 as a 14 year old, and to see how much he's aged since that time makes me sad. Although I will say, older and sober Jimmy is much better than the wasted and bloated Jimmy of days past.
actually the Big Genius is John Paul Jones ... if your didnt believe me look at the Outtakes of stairway to Heaven and all the other Albums !! he was always the leader
Me and four mates - 3 of us from the University of Delaware and 2 from Maple Shade, N.J., about 19 at the time - walked out with them and their entourage, which included Keith Moon, Simon Kirke and Boz Burrell and some wild looking women, from when the elevator doors opened in the Plaza Hotel lobby through the revolving door to their limousine after their concert earlier that night at Madison Square Garden in New York in 1975. We, of course, were wearing sport coats and ties because we had seen them in a Superbox at the Garden and out of respect for our favorite band. We got into a taxi and told the driver, ""Follow that limo." The limo went back to the Garden and up a ramp to wherever limos or trucks go to deliver people going to parties or goods. We got out of the taxi and tried to walk up the ramp but a large man said, "You are not with this party." 😂 By the way the concert was awesome.
Seriously?? Try to contact Cameron Crowe, the director of Almost Famous movie, that's precisely the same in that kind biography movie from his own life as a rock journalist in the 70's, that's so even with the movie. If you haven't seen it check it out!!
It was a flying Led Zeppelin that toured around the world. He refers to the group as the Led Zeppelin. Ten years gone , and Achilles last stand are my favorite. The rest I can tolerate.
It was a ritual,and an everyday escape from the 🌎 world of the second fittles. The headset and the Led Zeppelin 8 tracks and they're in a class all to themselves.What a thoughly enjoyable 🎵🎶 musical excursion!😊
My perfect dream would be able to have a q&a with THE four greatest musicians EVER to walk GODS earth. Obviously that would never happen but if only. Perfection. You cannot underestimate what Peter Grant did for the band he obviously loved & stood by.
