My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
Jimmy PageI really wasn't needed... Just straightening up riffs, that's all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
Jimmy PageThere are very few people I can call real, close friends. They're very, very precious to me.
Jimmy PageWe 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.
