i am always struck in his interviews by how grounded and humble this man is. he's not just any guy from any band, but you'd never know it by talking to him. he's not caught up in his glory days, or starstruck by himself, and i've seen a lot of much less accomplished musicians who are far more impressed by themselves than even their fans. he gives off no sense of "yeah, i'm pretty awesome don't you think" even tho nobody could blame him if he did. and yet he lives on a higher plane than most of us could ever imagine, much less achieve. and still he's completely in touch with modern reality, including music. not to mention his continual charitable contributions, which he'll never bring up.

Yeah what a life! They had their own private jet when they were in their early twenties!

What’s so sexy and enticing about Robert is that he never stops moving, learning, trying, and growing over and over again. People may see him as this heavy metal god, I did when I was much younger, but I’ve come to appreciate the man he truly is whether he’s playing with Jimmy, singing with Allison, or telling us about ancient paganism - there’s no end to his greatness.

Over the course of my life I've loved a lot of bands.. From Sabbath to the Old 97s to AC/DC to Jerry Reed. Each had their particular impact on me and I've observed the impact they have had on others. Robert, and Led Zeppelin.. are at the very pinnacle of my musical consciousness. I dont play Zep every day anymore & haven't for many years... but when I pick up my guitar or even think in terms of creating music, I am still blown away by what those guys did. If someone asked me one of those infamous stoner questions... "Hey, if you could magically transform into a rock band which one would you be?" .. I would say Led Zeppelin. What I especially liked about this interview was that his own summary of his musical journey to this point was reflective and paralell to his life journey. I wish that I could be as optimistic about todays music as Robert seems to be, but I am really happy that he has found that comfortable space he's been looking for since Zeppelin and I look forward to hearing more new music from him.

He and Jimmy did a lot of post LZ performances and tours, especially in the mid to late 90's, and their 2007 performance with Bonzo's boy Jason!! That's good enough for me! They've put together so much amazing music and performances as a band, that to want anything more would be greedy I think! Robert is just such a musical explorer that wants to experience different flavors with different musicians; it's not that he dislikes talking about LZ, he just wants to continue to venture out in his life's experiences. I'm glad to know he gave up smoking, I didn't know he quit! I know Jimmy survived the booze and the heroin thank God! I'm sure Robert and Jimmy keep in touch and are still dear friends. I'm just glad I grew up in the 70's and know that that was the best time to be young and get exposed to the best music...EVER!!!!

Great interview. Many interviews seem to have no point because of those interviewers who really don't show respect to the musicians but this one is worth watching and listening to. And...please don't forget that there are at least some people even in Japan who appreciate the new music world Mr. Robert Plant built up with the Sensational Space Shifters.
