the Sunday-night jam sessions that you and he would do were important, because you learned who played what on Elvis Presley’s and Gene Vincent’s records. Was it a similar epiphany for you??” to see how he played it. And I said, “Yeah, well, I’ve been doing it like this.” He just had an instant rapport with me. He had a homemade guitar at the time, and I’m sure he’d be very proud to say that. We were just two kids. We’d heard rock & roll.
Did paying attention to the ambiance of the room on the records you listened to inspire what you did with producing John Bonham’s drums? If I’m playing guitar, which is what I’ve been doing in the lockdown, I play things which I know that I know. And then before I know where I am, I’m improvising. And then before too much time the improvising has turned into something else, which is something I haven’t played before. In other words, I’ve written something new. So it’s all part of being an unschooled musician, having learnt yourself. And I suppose you pick up these sort of habits, some good, some bad.
So, yes, John Bonham could get a lot of volume out of his drums, not by forehand smashes, but just because he knew how to tune the drums in such a way that they would project. He would have a natural balance to everything he was playing. And then he’d give a bass-drum accent that you’d feel it go into your stomach. His technique was just amazing. He was such fun to play with. But the other thing was that he loved Led Zeppelin. He really loved the band, and he used to play the music at home.
And then there is a solo that’s put on it, and basically that is the whole of the run for the thing. It’s mainly the acoustic, and the two 12-strings are driving it all the way through, and then there’s the solo.Obviously, “Stairway” has got to be done live, because it’s quite an epic, and we haven’t done anything like that, and nor has anybody else done anything quite like that.
So I accessed my symbol or my sigil, and that is what it is. And [the record label] put it first. Then people thought, “Oh, actually, the album’s called whatever that symbol might interpret if you were to use it phonetically.” So that wasn’t the intention, but it doesn’t matter if it did, and it doesn’t matter if it didn’t. What it means to me now is that that I made a good choice [in selecting it].
So, I went in there, and we did some of the songs that they’d already worked on, and then I came up with my guitar parts for these things, and that was really interesting. And Chris was singing on them. I thought, “I’ve really had to concentrate,” because it’s things in different time signatures. I mean it was a serious workout. But it wasIt was brilliant. And then I said, “I’ve got one,” and I played them what actually becomes “Fortune Hunter” with the Firm.
A genius that made music that's eternal. I will always love Zeppelin! ❤️
There's one very significant guitar missing from the 'Guitars of Stairway' pic. Everyone believes this to be the '59 Tele, but does JimmyPage have another secret?
Great work!
All those occult rumors I used to hear are apparently true. IDC however because he's the greatest guitarist who ever lived.
Way cool
Every artist should aspire to being as proud of their work as Jimmy Page.
Led Zep gives me music boners. ÷÷÷÷÷ While the Earth burns we argue about who is wrong, who is right, whose fault and who'll take the blame.
💥$0.99 Sale!💥
Has he talked about his relationship with a 14 year old yet and his plagiarism of multiple tracks?
I mean we know Jimmy wants to do some more Zeppelin, it's Plant who is doesn't. Even though there would be a massive market for Led Zeppelin music.

Jesus I hope he hasn’t started a new round of remasters!
