I'm Not A Guitarist As Far As

The Key To Zeppelin's Longevity Has Been Change.

We Were Never A Band That Did 96 Takes Of The Same Thing. I Had Heard Of Groups That Were Into That Kind Of Excess Around That Time. They'd Work On The Same Track For Three Or Four Days And Then Work On It Some More, But That's Clearly Not The Way To Record An Album. If The Track Isn't Happening And It Creates Some Sort Of Psychological Barrier, Even After An Hour Or Two, Then You Should Stop And Do Something Else. Go Out: Go To The Pub, Or A Restaurant Or Something. Or Play Another Song.

Everything That Came Later... The Roots Are All There In The First Album.

Sometimes, I Must Admit, I'd Like To Have A Second Guitarist Onstage With Me, But It Wouldn't Look Right. I'd Like To Play For Another 20 Years, But I Don't Know... I Just Can't See It Happening. I Don't Know Why. It's A Certain Foreboding... A Funny Feeling... Vultures.

Once I Get Onstage The Tension Explodes And I'm Fine. I'm In Another World - In A Trance Almost, Doing What I Love Best, Expressing Myself Through Guitar.
