he's not only a great musician, but a philosopher, a poet, a man connected with reality and with an enormous capacity of love with a brilliant sense of humor. What an incredible human being! I admired him as the front leader of Led Zeppelin (the best of all the times), but I admire him so much more now! He's amazing!
he's always been a philosopher and poet my friend. Being interested in the many facets of life directly translated into the beauty and depth of their music
There is only one Robert Plant! God help all us girls who saw him Live in the 1970's...we were never, ever the same! ;-) Still making us crazy, Ramble On! xxx
Saw him 4 times before 21. Yep. Never the same. Saw him again 8/2024 w Allison Krause. Was on my bucket list just in case he stops touring and stays on his side of the pond.
I'm surprised people used to perceive him as arrogant or full of himself. He's always been an enlightened man. He treats life as a big silly show where his ego and soul dont seem to be affected. He reminds me of my grandfather, a man who lived to the age of 93. To his last day he was a student of life. Bless you Robert and please keep quoting your lyrics it's beautifully silly
Oh, I think in the early days, he may have gotten a bit full of himself, but who wouldn't? I certainly have never heard anyone say anything bad about Plant at all. Even in 1977 when that big ordeal went down in Oakland between Zeppelin's security and Bill Graham's security people, one guy said that "Plant was the only decent human being there" which I took to mean that since he tried to smooth things over and apologize to everyone.
I got into a fight with someone who called him the Devil 😈 incarnate. She was a silly human and is out of touch with reality. 😂😂😂😂😂 Love the most recent ensemble with songbird Alison and et. al.
I'm not. But, on stage he did ask for ' "the name of that chick' who was good", at the end of his tour with Alison Krauss, who you know lent him immense credibility after Zep had been left by the wayside. The 'chick' ? Name them. Alison Richards, Kelly Lee, Florence and the Machine, Ingrid Michelson....
I could listen to Robert Plant talk all day ever day. Even in conversation he is poetic, intriguing and mysterious. I love how he continues to experiment with different musical instruments, sounds and in different styles of singing but yet he still sounds like classic Robert Plant. My generation was blessed to have pioneering musicians and artists.🥰
He is so true to his art, not in it for anything else other than his fulfilment, we are lucky to get a peek in. I just always find throughout it his career he has brought me music I never knew that I needed. And now can’t do without it. It’s so worth following his journey and all of the interesting nuances and places he can take you.. he really is an artist
We need way more Robert in this world, not just through his music, but through his voice. Robert, you make an excellent speaker, author, etc. I think the missing piece is perhaps beyond music. You are such a source of inspiration. I would love to read books about your thoughts, experiences, philosophies, and more. You would be a NY bestseller, etc.
Being a native Nashvillian, i can tell you there was a buzz and an honor in the air when we knew Robert Plant had moved here, I'm sad to think he had a bad experience in our town....we really where HONORED.
This was a fantastic interview. I'd never seen this interviewer before and he asked great follow-up questions to continue a conversation instead of one-off's as most interviwers do. Robert Plant was, is, and always will be an amazing artist and fantastic wit. The only thing that distracted me during this compelling interview was the shaky camera man's apparent obsession with getting a shot from above with the chandelier in frame. Dude! Trust me when I say there's no need for 'artisitc' shots whilst filming a legend. Simply hold the camera STILL on his face. That is enough. Otherwise, this was quite enjoyable.
All the interviewers I’ve seen interview Plant have had no idea what they’re talking about and don’t know how to act. This guys does. THIS is how you interview Robert Plant. Politeness, down-to-earth connection, getting on his level and making sure that he is comfortable. Just the little things like offering a drink of water after a simple cough. Nobody does that. Well done - possibly the only person to interview Mr. Plant in the right way.
Such an intellectual Robert is,not just a lame ass rock star,easy on the eyes as well! Always was,still is. Beautiful smile,gorge eyes!!!! My forever crush 😀🌹❤️
Ed O'Brien from Radiohead said in an interview that he met Plant and Plant told him that "after seeing Radiohead he understood that the age of virtuosity was over". Cheeky.
Robert Plant is the Golden God of the Greatest voice of Rock and roll! And thank God Jimmy Page chose Robert Plant as the greatest Rock band instead of Rod Stewart...don’t get me wrong, Rod Stewart is awesome in his own style of music 👍🤙
And I turned it off after 3 mins. I can't bear to listen to these stars drone on and "philosophize" about where their music "comes from". I don't give a shit. I rather hear him tell stories about his past experiences with other famous artists and being in Led Zeppelin. I'm happy listening to the music, but I don't care about all the BS.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH... Well, but it all intertwines /intersects & has genuine relevance, sincerely much more so with this very unique character's nuances of an amazing life🌠☯️
I agree. I've been very critical of his last few albums but when you hear him talk about things he's like a really really good salesman. The explanations are better than the new songs! Oh well.... he is the best. No question.
I always love his interviews, he is very intelligent & very interesting, always love his sense of humor too. Back in the day he loved teasing Page & Bonham, especially Bonham, that really showed their true love & close friendship. Robert is so enthusiastic about still learning about places people & everything. His knowledge especially about music & musicians is so amazing. For all the fame he’s had in his life so far, especially while with Led Zeppelin, he’s so down to earth & still a lover of life. I thank him for all the great music he has given me for decades, & for the world & future generations.
Robert has always been highly intelligent.Great sense of humour. And never taken himself too seriously. As" The Golden God". Always humble, honest, and down to earth. Perfectionist in his work. Greatest male Rock/ blues lead singer, performer, entertainer ever. But so much more. Than just the most beautiful sexiest man i ever clapped my lustfull eyes on in the 70's.with that incredible vocal range. I love Carry Fire. Its my favorite track too. What you see is what you get. Aguy after my own heart. Always a joy to hear Robert interviewed. Loves his footy. And still plays in the UK. Passionate guy. So well travelled . You never stop learning aye Rob? Life is short. Flies by. Robert has made the most of his life. In my experience. A great sense of humour helps...You are still a sexy georgeous man Robert Plant...never stop..makin music...look forward to seeing you live in the UK with The shifters. ❤❤❤❤❤
Ok fellas take note, this man, Robert Plant, he is a fine definition of a man who is so truly comfortable with everything, hisself, life, his easy nature with people, eye contact, the usage of eloquent english with communication and his song writing skills, no dirty foul speech and his general all around coolness......hes a straight up man that sooooo many women would love to accompany. Robert, the older u get, the more I listen to interviews, any new song/band projects, u broaden my interests in the many cultutral flairs, showing me a true love experience with music.... I adore you through and through. You are def the Lion King in my book. Thank you for always being in so many folks lives.... it's been a trip and a pleasure!!! Love you!!!!
Awsome Interview, love hearing Robert,it's always magical listening to a actual voice from onces past that was (in a sorts ) a Rock God. Perspectives of there opinions of things today as aposed to back then are the Best :)) , I would Love to Chat up Robert some day over a cup of tea & then just chill a bit Strumming the acoustic Guitar and Colaberateing with Him :)) , Thanks for the Dreams HugS !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!.
Robert has never come out and claimed to be Pagan, but he is obviously very interested in the Old Ways. This really was a lovely interview, maybe the most personal one iv'e seen him do. Even if he had never done everything he's done professionally he would still be a very interesting man, just for the way he looks at the world and interacts with whatever he encounters along the way. Long may he continue his journeys within and without.
I could be wrong, but I get the feeling he goes down the pub in his local village and sees the same folks and they have a good old chat about everything in the workd. I hope so!
Robert Plant is a normal down to earth person, was in wolverly pub in Worcester and heard someone arguing and laughing with Rob over a wolves game , just a pub regular who happens to be a singer in a band.
Going back to my youth in 1969 hearing that whole Lotta love album to the present for a articulate intelligent person Robert Plant has turned out to be one or the greatest !
And on record the Honeydrippers included Jeff Beck, Paul Schaffer, Jimmy Page and Dave Weckl... though the band that appeared on Saturday Night Live was quite different with Buddy Williams drumming, Brian Setzer and members of the Saturday Night Live band and Blood Sweat & Tears... while live gigs included a band of relative unknowns except for guitarist Robbie Blunt, who also was in Plant's band during his MTV hits era...'Big Log', 'In the Mood' etc.
A few cool things.....Robert Plant is a God and I am glad he's still putting out good music. 2. George does not age, he looks 25....drinking out of the fountain of youth! 3. George actually let's his guests talk and asks great questions. MOST inteviewers try to make interviews about themselves, but george always made about the guests and knows when to have a conversation. Good job George!
Brilliant tête à tête with Strombo. I never liked to cover my budgies nor love birds." Force of arms" turn of the century phrase. Old world charm we seldom see. He's got a wicked sense of humour. Banter on knight in shining armour. Weeping willow....Weeping Statue of Liberty....what comes next?
Strombo you did it again... another insightful conversation with another one of our icons, who has moved forward, and gives us a perspective from the other side of success. Robert Plant has moved on from his days of superstardom, and found a place where he can still be creative and comfortable in his own skin and his boots. Thank you.
Ah Sir Robert not everyone sinks down when they hear songs like "Turn it Up" in between Zeppelin tunes. That is a masterpiece of which I wish you did more of in that vein. He has been mysterious for one reason or another, so good to see an interview with him!
The question is... what part? The mad king? Brother Rey the cool hippie commune priest that the Rogue Brotherhood hung? A wildling behind the wall in Iceland?
Too bad they couldn’t make Robert a good cup of tea. Black with milk and maybe some sugar. Great interview. I’ll have to pick up Carry Fire. He seems to be getting younger.
John Lynch My Grandmother drank her tea with cream and sugar and so many in our family loved the taste of tea made this way❤️ My Grandmother was Grace Hastie Walsh❤️ A beautiful lady, my Mothers Mom. Yes get Robert a nice cup of tea!
Saw him play this summer in Toronto, what a great show. They played many songs from Carry Fire and I lived it. The CD came as a promo and I recommend you have a listen.
AT 0:27 I LOVE THE WAY HE WALKS UP THE STAIRS NO ENTOURAGE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE REAL TALENTED MUSICIANS FROM MY GENERATION ARE NOT NARCISSISTIC THEIR TALENT GIVEN BY GOD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WHAT A HANDSOME TALENTED AMAZING MAN ✊🏾
Here's to what The Plant has alway's brought in Guarantee for my 65 yr. old ass... ''That very presence of Love, living heartdeep within the majority of any oppressed people... not unlike Time Itself, will alway's endurably survive intact. Those will forever be, the very two rhyming elements of which no man can contain, let alone destroy!'' -gilpin 61818 HOSS as ever; obligiments for the platform of which to ponder & pop off!
So human.. Really good to get a glimpse of this man. To say he is a true musician, who lives and loves his work, would probably be redundant. I enjoyed this interview. Thank you.
Jesus how longs it take to get Robert some damn water already,you can tell he's thirsty, he coughs a few times from having a dry throat,come on already, this is Royalty. And no A/C?..is the place, trying to cut costs,also the guys got to climb up from the basement, I thought he was going to do a uturn and skip the interview.
A year older than me robert is literally my twin they say theres two of everyone and being mistaken for him during my years of travel has always made me smile ironically my little brothers name is robert. I met rplant late 60s they played for our club filmore west for bill graham acid was 50cents lids were ten $ tuanals four for a dollar you know the good old days when everything wascheap and youd see three bands for $3.00 at bill grahams clubs here in sanfrancisco..
Things were cheap back then, but as I remember it we had very little money......so not so cheap. Still the best time to be alive. So you must have had a good time with the lady’s with a plant appearance?
I’ve always felt close to him. I’m 5 days younger than Robert, My husband, who’s iPad I’m using was born Jan. 9 same day (not yr.) as Jimmy Page with his J.P. Initials, and my Dad died Sept. 25, 1980, the same day as Bonzo. Robert Plant looked into my eyes after an awesome performance at the Boston Orpheum and we grinned at each other. Had the privilege of seeing him at many gigs in town and Worcester and with Jimmy just before the Garden closed. Great times and music.
For me he will always be very first and only rock God in his younger years he was so handsome and that voice was absolutely amazing , he is still a God just an older God.
