I'm not a guitar hero.
I can't think of a greater guitar icon than someone who has the musical intellect to change what was there before and take music in another direction. That's a guitar hero for me.
I'm always looking for the creative spark. Always.
Led Zeppelin was a band that would change things around substantially each time it played... We were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point of telepathy.
I am very good at remembering music and am absolutely certain that I never heard 'Taurus' until 2014.
Because we spent so much time in the States in the beginning, we weren't able to do so much in England. It was slower catching up. And we didn't have radio here like what was called underground radio over there. So we got these little slots on the BBC.
There is no point in putting out 'The Complete BBC Sessions,' and someone's growling that you missed something.
With Led Zeppelin, it has always been that mystique of how the music is done - how it works, why it works.
Every album that I've attempted, I suppose, has been different - it's bound to be.
Spirit is a band I really love.
I was always good at hearing complete arrangements in my head.
Here's where it goes with Led Zeppelin. It didn't matter what was going on around us, because the character of Led Zeppelin's music was so strong.
Nobody could have predicted the effect of John Bonham's drum introduction on 'Good Times, Bad Times,' because no matter what he'd played in before, he'd never had the chance to flex his muscles and play like John Bonham.
