“Led Zeppelin isn't done yet, quite clearly, because every year since 1968 there's been new fans.”

“You'll find so many of the guitarists from the '60s will all say Lonnie Donegan was the influence.”

“I really love playing live - it's such a gas.”

“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.”

“I'm pretty loyal to my guitars, you know, but then they're pretty loyal to me, too.”

“In the 1960s and into the '70s, everyone in their own way was trying to open up the musical horizon. There shouldn't be a wall that you're going toward and bouncing off.”

“My influences were the riff-based blues coming from Chicago in the Fifties - Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Billy Boy Arnold records.”

“Every album that I've attempted, I suppose, has been different - it's bound to be.”

“I'm not a guitar hero.”

“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.”

“We weren't making money in the Yardbirds.”

“I liked the Sex Pistols' music. I thought it was superb.”

“Listening to John Bonham is just a sheer celebration of his playing - it can't help but fill you with so much joy.”

“If you write a written book, you're gonna get slowed up by lawyers wanting to see what you say about this person, that person - I couldn't be bothered with it.”
