# Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music.

## Quotes

* We didn’t over-rehearse things. We just had them so that they were just right, so that there was this tension – maybe there might be a mistake. But there won’t be, because this is how we’re all going to do it and it’s gonna work!
** Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
* We were crafting albums for the album market. It was important, I felt, to have the flow and the rise and fall of the music and the contrast, so that each song would have more impact against the other.
** Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
* We’d get it up to a serious speed, so it’s really firing on all cylinders, and then you’d start recording. With the red light on there’s even more urgency to it. We’d arrive at those takes in a pretty short time – just a handful of takes, maybe. If a song started to labour, and it just wasn’t working, there’s no point in just recording it. We’d just stop it and do something else, and then return to it later.
** Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
* I wanted it to be totally in character of what’s going on with the lyrics and a summing up of my guitar playing for that particular song. What I’d do is just limber up and then, okay, put the red light on. And again, those solos weren’t done over hours and hours. They were pretty much improvised. They weren’t worked out note for note. Never. The solos were always: take a deep breath and go for it! For the spontaneity. I might have worked out how I might start it off. But that’s it.
** Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
* Stop playing the guitar one day and you will notice. Stop touching it for two days and your teacher will notice. Stop playing it three times and the audience will start to notice.
** Jimmy Page at Todomusica.org
* I have to do a lot of hard work before I can get anywhere near those stages of consistent, total brilliance.
** Jimmy Page, ref. Stairway to Heaven, Rolling Stone interview.

* Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Made up my mind to make a new start, Going to California with an aching in my heart. Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.Took my chances on a big jet plane, Never let them tell you that they're all the same. The sea was red and the sky was grey, Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today. The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake As the children of the sun began to awake.

* To find a queen without a king, They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

** All My Love, written by Jones and Plant

### Coda (1982)

* It starts out like a murmur Then it grows like thunder Until it bursts inside of you Try to hold it steady Wait until you're ready Any second now will do Throw the door wide open Not a word is spoken Anything that you want to do Ya know, ya know, ya know...
** Wearing and Tearing

## Quotes about Led Zeppelin

* The song titles are complex, but when it comes to the album titles, they lay them out like IKEA instructions: Zeppelin I, Zeppelin II, Zeppelin III, Zeppelin IV. The fifth album, Houses of the Holy, is where they regain their insanity. Just to fuck with you, it does not contain one of their few hits that has the title in the lyrics, "Houses of the Holy". That's on Physical Graffiti.

* While Black Sabbath and Deep Purple also influenced a hard, guitar-driven sound that opened the door for the heavy metal movement, Zeppelin did it better than anybody.
** Yardbarker
* Led Zeppelin IV is not just the greatest guitar album of the 70s, but the benchmark for every guitar band ever since.
** Guitar World
* The numbers are eye-popping. [...] Statistics are one thing, but the story must also be told with due reverence to all they accomplished musically, including pioneering the album-oriented rock rock concept and, more dramatically, forging a style that would dominate throughout the seventies.
** David Roberts, as quoted from the book Rock Chronicles: Every Legend. Every Line-up. Every Look. (published October 25, 2019) Firefly Books. pp. 282.
