Led Zeppelin 1 - You Shock Me, - It was then I bought my first blues hamonica and learned to play on it - I was "shocked" when I listen to this album, and the other songs and albums - Thank you Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin it change my whole life; - Since then and still im playing these albums almost every day. - now im 66 - my head, heart and soul is still and will always be back in the best yester years when LED ZEPPELIN ruled the whole musical universe and will always do...☮🕊
The fact that Jimmy is still so intrinsically shy after the life he's lived just blows my mind. 🖤🩶🤍

What a wonderful gift it is to have Jimmy Page explain his life and music. I am sitting in my home office, which is a Led Zeppelin shrine. I even have a Jimmy Page signed Led Zeppelin IV 3 foot x 2 feet serigraph of the album in museum glass, plus a photo of Jimmy signing it.

Yeah would be interesting. I don't know the interviewer but man...seems lucky that Jim is such an intelligent guy that could help him through it. Jimmy can interview himself and sort of does by expanding every question into something of real interest that people will want to hear.
Jimmy is a next level human being. It’s there in every thought and statement. It’s there in every note. He informs each note with a magic that is all his own. He put it all together, he played, he produced. He invented the lifestyle and the mystery. His enthusiasm and intelligence are undiminished. I’m never going to tire of his music.
Would love to see Page on the road again...
My three favourite Zeppelin tracks. Battle of Evermore In the Evening Boogie with Stu Rip Stu. Rip Charlie None of them could have done it without you both❤
Interesting interview. I've read quite a bit about Page and it was enlightening to hear his creative process. He responded well to Koons, even though Koons appeared (to me, at lease) to make comments and formulate questions that were a bit nonsensical and obtuse. If you want to read more about Page - read the Brad Tolinski book; it gets technical (and I am not a musician so I glossed over some of that) but it also did a deep dive into Jimmy and how he works. As an artist (I spent a long time on the styling end of fashion and now paint and work as an amateur photographer) I always want to hear how people get to their end goals. Thank you so much for this opportunity to listen to Jimmy Page explain more of his genius.
Thank you… a Page fan since Yardbirds… I was 18.
American watching from the State of Rhode Island in the U.S.-Jimmy Page-the Michelangelo of rock and roll-& chief archivist of Led Zeppelin-thanks for for it all Jimmy-& for the conversation. Much Peace!
Yuo are Great jimmy page ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
This man IS rock & roll !
20:10 By the sound of it he's been listening to Jimmy’s music every day for the past week in the run-up to his show.
Clowns will ask "Gee why hasn't Jimmy Page done anything lately???" The guy will be EIGHTY FRIGGIN' years old in January for Chr!st's sake. Going back 60 years with The Yardbirds, some little-known and obsure band called Led Zeppelin, the Firm, solo records and collaborations. He's done enough and his career and music contributions speak for itself...

I know what you mean. Robert but I don't think anyone means that as a knock on Jimmy. There are many fans like me who think that the talent is still there and Jimmy still has a lot to offer. But what he does is his business and he's not answerable to anyone on this Earth He has paid his dues and put in his time
A decade and a half ago I was living just outside Asheville NC and working in a big red double decker coffee bus parked in a courtyard. I played a lot of White Stripes and of course, Zeppelin. Physical Graffiti was a favorite. Imagine silent downtown streets covered in snow with Physical Graffiti booming from a big red coffee bus. I was in a big Zeppelin period because of course I was. I was living in Hobbiton.

If listening to Jimmy Page wasn’t enough… the Q & A topped it all off. Great visit with Mr. Rock-Page.
Not just Jimmy Page, but Led Zeppelin as a whole were the driving force and inspiration for bands such as Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses, Heart, Iron Maiden, Japan, Metallica, Nirvana, Queen, Van Halen, White Stripes and many more bands and singers. Watch the UK Hall of Fame 2006 video from KZread to know how these bands perceived Led Zeppelin.

The greatest guitarist of our time.

I love the one video when a band member statrted climing up a tall hill he cimbed and climbed only to find john bonnam at the very top holfing a lantern

He absolutely is. He was the leader and visionary that formed the band. He was the main songwriter and also the producer. John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and John Bonham were all spectacular musicians and definitely deserve a lot of credit for their contributions. Jimmy Page is something else, and Led Zeppelin was really his band.

Page strikes me as a pretty nice Guy.He quit the booze long ago and has really seemed ro have mellowed out.
It's pretty funny that he said "one mess up and you wouldn't be seen again" cause there are so many mistakes in Led Zeppelin.

Mr page has ben playing the guitar for so long he dont realize how popular he was and still is very mutch so he is still... the bees knees
could you please structure this video so that we know at what point each topic of the conversation starts ? thanks
Poppy suit...😅 Brilliant. Smh.. heroin is a beautiful drug, an angel, yet a demon. Im glad page came out of it.👍🏻🙏🏻🎸
Who was that carnt who came up with the clause in the Crowes contract not allowing them to release their music in their collaboration with Jimmy. How narrow minded How mean spirited How not getting art and respecting musicians can you get Gimme his name.
The love, the passion, the feel, the experience. It all coalesced. He's a musician. That sounds basic. It fucking isn't.
Right off the bat, that interviewer is a tiny man. I met Jimmy and he is a very small man. I'm 6'1" and towered over the guy. To see someone stand next to him and look petite is pretty amusing. I'm not size shaming, just sayin'. I've met so many of my rock star heroes and they are, almost invariably, much smaller than expected. Jimmy could not have been nicer.

He is fawning over JP like a teenage girl here. Even Page seems utterly embarrassed by him at times. His follow-ups are just stammering and "uhh... you're just so AWESOME Jimmy.... the music... it's so.... uhh... VAST JIMMY.... what about the VASTNESS?? " lmao
Sadly such a great musician as Jimmy Page- seemingly uses most of his time reissuing Led Zepping music, videos and of course his books. But, no new music??- one can understand that perhaps it is possible to understand that he cannot top himself, but I think what would be great is a Jimmy Page and friends tour, with an all star cast of rock and blues musicians, performing in smaller and larger music halls, Jimmy- just play your guitar, unless you can't due to health problems?

Sometimes you just let what’s done be what it is and live how it feels in retrospect. J Page has put out so much… at 76 I’m loving his take on looking back with him at his journey. .
Anyone who uses autotune or pitch correction 100% is anything but a musician. Wait til they sing live lol What? Oh they use samples and loops live. I rest my case. I never heard Jagger hit a bum note live in over a 100 performances. And at 80 he holds his own with Gaga. I rest my case again
i need the subs men
Hows it going guys? Im the guy who scratched Jimmy Pages guitar while doing work at his house in 2016/17, wasnt even my fault - he was on something and trying to have me hold his guitar and let go before my hands were there, i caught it but the bottom swung and hit other guitar and scratched it. The guy he talks about in interviews that is supposed to have ducked him and he can't find him - thats me, only i didn't duck him and he's been fucking with me the whole time. He could have filed an ins claim even tho it wasn't my fault but wants me to pay. He has half way stalked me ever since calling all my employers, random messages here and there. He flips between he is sorry and I owe him a million dollars for his guitar. He has baically ruined my life over it.
If he was a genuine soul, he would talk more about his influence on female kids.
