- Jimmy Page is one of music’s greatest guitarists, innovators and legends-Rolling Stone called him “one of rock’s most important and influential guitar players, writers, and producers” and ranked him number nine on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He talks about his life and career as the groundbreaking guitarist for one of rock’s most iconic bands in a rare interview with Jeff Koons, widely regarded as one of the most important, influential and controversial artists of the postwar era.
His new book, Jimmy Page, the first ever by a member of Led Zeppelin, is his official autobiography, a photographic essay he personally created to tell his story for the very first time.

I literally came across Mr. Page on a street in London in February. He was all alone. Looking in a furniture window. I tapped his shoulder and said "thank you for all the joy and happiness you've provided me" and walked off. Over my shoulder I heard "hold on". I turned around and he said to me "No. Thank you." Then I walked off.
Terry..
Thank you for this
I can say that they (Led Zep)....really saved my life
On several occasions....Im so grateful
WOW! Half your luck!!
Two words for that story: Outstanding!
This is the most absolute proper way to go about it cheers to you
I wonder why he changed his mind to say something? Remember- Jimmy's a shy person. So humble, maybe he didn't want to risk saying something wrong?
Its 2023 and we still have Jimmy. So thankful to have lived when I lived.
Me to , I agree
He’s such an amazing man. I agree 100 percent. That I lived when he did. I wish I would have been a bit older and really watched them in concerts. During their time. I was a little late. But I learned more about them through music mags. That’s what was amazing 12:44am
Now 2024! I wish he could live into his hundreds!
@@user-hs5qo1pm2xsame here! By the time I became a Zep fan, they had just released “Physical Graffitti”, and lost opportunity to see them live!
And Robert Plant
People can debate which guitarist is the greatest: Jimmy, Jimi, Eric, etc. But when you combine Jimmy's playing, his studio work and the hundreds of songs he played on, his work with the Yardbirds, his song writing contributions, his skills as a producer and recording engineer, his visionary direction as the architect of Led Zeppelin's career path, and his continuing role as the caretaker of their legacy.......it puts Jimmy among the very top of the most important figures in the history of modern music. There are probably only a small handful of people who ever had a bigger impact on modern music....maybe just one or two. We won't see anyone like him again.
Yes. He created amazing riffs that will go down forever in the history of rock music.
@@recabitejehonadab2654 He said in an interview he was embarrassed to play his riffs in front of people because they seemed simple to him.
Myself thinks all guitarists are unique and Jimmy Page is awesome
It's hard to imagine a world without Jimmy Page
Let's not. He's the Coolest Cat we ever had in our lives.
@@peterbartolomeo5542 I agree Peter
@@terrydonegan1622 I agree wholeheartedly. Jimmy is the man. Rifferama personified.
Jimmy Page is one of the small minority who could actually afford a Jeff Koons artwork !! 😄
btw I do know that he bought a huge Gerhard Richter painting now worth many Millions more that he paid for it !!
You'll never, EVER hear anything like him again. I'm sure Zeppelin will always be on the radio for future generations to hear the way music was really meant to be, but I'm so glad I lived in the time he and Led Zeppelin were walking on earth.
Wish he would wear something other than black clothes everyday
He should change his wardrobe once in a while
Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin are as iconic as any historical event in World History! How is this man so humble and has NO EGO as "THE GOAT" of Rock Bands and each individual The Epitome of their instrument! He is right in referencing Picasso! Zeppelin is Truly a Masterpiece!
He’s always in the same boring clothes
He’s so brutally honest. He has no problem sharing what was going on in his mind that led to his spontaneity and passion. He’s not afraid to expose his vulnerability. Incredible man!
expose his satanic dragon boy worshipping they have tricked us all along, let alone with changing the tuning frequency of music to the SATANIC 440hz tuning and we all get to hear they're shit. destroy all the traitors to we the people/ Humanity. f jimmyshit traitor page. thats what's up. wake the f up for real find your own soul and spirituality in yourself.
Pedophiles are known for being brutally honest...lol
He didn't expend much on him being attracted to underage girls.
Agree. I find him fascinating
To be able to say you were and STILL are in the greatest band to ever walk the planet , I can only imagine how satisfying that must be .
I disagree. there's The Beatles and then everybody else.
Then there's Pink Floyd who were much more creative and talented and lasted longer!
@@keithdevereux4046 I agree, not because they're my personal favorite though...yer never gonna get 100% consensus on anything, that's why who the 'best' band is never works because people want to put theirs at the top, essentially changing the question. So....Fab Four? Yes, definitely. BTW - I'm a Keith, too, cheers!

Its amazing that Jimmy Page - of Led Zeppelin and all that incredible history - is still alive and with us today in 2020. The legend still breathes...
Considering his years of heroin addiction, it really is amazing he is still with us!
@@curbozerboomer1773and he had allegedly given up alcohol...after what happened to John Bonham in 1980 and then his band breaking up.
He IS "The man, the myth, the Legend!"
@@curbozerboomer1773 Lotsa longtime, large quantity, smack users around - the Keith Richard 'jokes' about his age and history reached saturation point years ago - the key is quality, potency, and having the discipline to not have the 'just one more, why not?' party attitude. For anything, not just heroin. Every single Behind the Music episode treads down the well-worn path where, inevitably, one or more members proclaim 'I shouldn't be here' - NO ONE out partied ME! And wear it like a badge of honor. Until the next guy/episode...
there's something about talented musicians. something I can't put my finger on. but when your heart starts beating and you desire to be like them. you're hooked.
So true.
Jimmy is so humble so amazingly talented! Led Zeppelin will forever be the most iconic band ever
lol.. you’re funny. They plagiarized most of their songs. Most iconic band? More like a cover band with terrible lyrics.. baby baby baby..
@@dociebiemowie915 omg you are. Free to
Have ur opinion. My opinion. Led Zeppelin are icons
@@dociebiemowie915 🤡
@@dociebiemowie915 shut up you trash, respect the greatest band of all time, you are just a piece of trash in the middle of the whole history of Led Zeppelin, if you had at least some critical sense you would know that the guys took small ideas and transformed them into true works cousins and not a simple copy, you garbage!
@@N.Amorim “Baby baby baby baby baby!!” 🤡 Led Zeppelin lyrics. 🤣
Jimmy is a beautiful soul. He emanates sincerity, kindness and respect. He is responsible for many generations of guitar players. I was one of those kids who would wear out my records trying to learn his guitar playing style and craft. A true musical genius.
I wonder if the 14 year old girl he had a 'relationship ' with when he was 29 thinks the same now???
@@john-ze7eu No way. Really?
I saw Led Zeppelin three years in a row: 1971-1972-1973, when they were one of the most (THE most?) famous bands in the world. Those were the years I was 16-17-18, so they were a huge influence on my life. Seeing them live was quite a treat, as I still remember in me old mind...
Lucky boy!!
What was their influence on you? There doesn't seem to be any philosophy or life lesson to Zep, so I'm curious.
@@lucasoheyze4597 Then you need to listen harder. It’s absolutely there, if not in an obvious way
@@lucasoheyze4597 Life lesson?? WTF?
Hard to explain what the OP may mean by their influence, but for me as a teenager with artistic interests, it was something like their lyrics and stories and musical aesthetics were proclaiming to you as a listener to open your mind and experience the magical journey of life, and as a wanna be artist upon getting into Zep as a teen in the 80s, their songs showed me how pure craftsmanship, musicianship, artistry, can reach heights that only other bands can dream about, and that why not strive for such lofty heights in my own art.
Listening to Jimmy Page is like sitting in on a lecture. Brilliant, erudite musician. I have been a fan since I was 12 years old.
I started listening to them @ 12 years old as well!!! Never stopped listening to them and never will!!!!!!
@@GreatLakesKnivesandLanterns Amen, brother!
I don't know him personally,, but judging by this interview, he is extremelly humble since he's the co-founder of the biggest band of the 70's.
His guitar playing completely belies his shy, humble personality. What a gift to the world of music!
A pleasing mixture of characteristics wrapped inside one bloke. Great interview this.
I'm 10, been playing guitar for just over 6 months & am so inspired by Jimmy. Love practicing guitar after school & hope to play like him someday. Jimmy, you rock!
zippy, every respect to you
DUDE! He's a person, talk to him like it! It's just awkward, we get it you like his music but just shut up instead of interrupting him and overwhelming him with complements and philosophical bs
I went to his book signing in Toronto July 21, all I can say is everything we see Jimmy do, his swag,kindness,generosity and so on.. Its 1000000000000% better in person. He was very humble and grateful for me going to his book signing. Jimmy flat out is the man.
Listen to Eddie Van Halen guitar solos
@@patyong7506 I know right fuck
No one is loved more by his fans than Jimmy Page. He's just a magical treasure
That he is forever!
stolen songs are great
hes a pedo
@@johnrambo6265 there are a few riffs that may have learned from and that's ok but no one, no one is Led Zeppelin and no one will ever be. If possibly getting an idea for a song from a piece of someone's else's song is so simple and easy to the path of being great then why hasn't else been at their level. Exactly.
Chris Stamos
I stood at the edge of your stage in 1977, words just can't describe the experience that it was to me. Thank you so much, not just for that night, and not just for all the good times your music has given. But thank you also for the good your music continues to bring to me. My soul always comes alive when I listen to you and your band. God bless you forever.
Wow!! Sooooo wish I could have been there too! ❤
Led Zeppelin was and still is by far the best ever debut album by any band, not even The Beatles had such an accomplished debut.
All of the music on Led Zeppelin's first albums was stolen...
@@poopy_pants_joe1194 not at all but certainly enough. I don't know why Page wants to plagiarize other guys and not them credit.
It subtracts from him rather than adds.
@@poopy_pants_joe1194 And their whole style lifted from the Jeff Beck Group.
The Beatles are fundamental even to Zep. The tools available to the Beatles (4 tracks) and limited studio time …
@@GLRange1 Not really...More like Beck was pantomiming Zeppelin with his group Beck, Bogert and Appice. (Cactus-lite?)
Beck CAN'T write. "Beck's bolero", was written by PAGE, just like all of the other songs they fought over.

That is the statement that summarise Jimmy. THE MAN
Amen
A.S.V Jimmy moved to Brasil in 1994 , started working with homeless kids giving them a better future ever since and I am so grateful , jimmy is indeed flat out the man , so kind and generous and a music , art and cultural genius !
Jimmy Page has shaped the world with his art and music , they teach his recording techniques on university of sound engineering.
A.S.V He has practiced satanism his entire life and molested young children..nice hero
lol wheres the proof of this? HE had a teenage girlfriend when he was like 25? I am 25 and i wouldnt date a teen girl, but i mean do u see some 15 yr olds!? it kills me when they try and hang on me and shit..? regardless ive done YEARS of research, and the only one who admits anything is robert plant... look up how starway was written, and why none of them care to play it!!! "Jimmy was playing the chords, then i got real angry, like really! Then my hand started writing out words, and i jumped out of my chair!" i would of thought it was an exaggeration if it hadnt happened to me already before i read that! i was in a horrid mood all night then, i got sooo happy, like i was high! Then i saw something out the corner of my eye, so i turned around? there was a black haired white skinned girl, like the ones on houses of the holy, and she began speaking in latin, anlike jumped a few feet towards me, then a few more, gliching like a computer game? or like in movies!? then i ran.. lol who wouldnt? well like 10 mins later i experinced the possession/auto writting, we all have! look up carlos santana, or angus young they alll admit it... jimmy page has alwasys said hes into occultism, but has never act practiced any of it.. thats a hell of an accusation! ANd i never understood, when was 17-18, im sure i had sex with someone who was 15! But now im 25 and it seems likd thatd be wrong, has since i was like 20!!! Why tho?
Jimmy is such a wonderful man. So humble and kind. I just love him.
He was into some weird black magic, witch craft stuff.
What a fantastic and enriching interview this is. Jimmy Page is very articulate, astute, humble, classy, funny and very down to earth. A great, creative and innovative artist, musician, composer, producer that loves his craft and his fans, who will never ceased to be loved, respected and admired by all including myself!
He wasn't always that wsy
You know he was heavily into satanism, don't you ?
@@tjcint😮!!
Every time Jimmy says “okay” makes me think it’s something he’s developed as an out to end endless conversations with fans.
The guitar sound he achieved on the first two Zeppelin albums is astonishing, Its still the heaviest stuff fifty+ years later.
Zeppelin II is the perfect rock album. The entire album is a blueprint to how rock must be played.
Literally, my hero. Love for this man is not enough of an expression. So fine of an artist.
Best part, 1:04:47 - female audience member yells out, "Jimmy, you're so cool...(scream)!!" and "You are a god!" Just awesome....
That's what she said.
@@robcale8165 I heard it too
Thats just lame ,given how humble he is ,he has a very good work ethic when it comes to playing ,and lots of practice ,and having the willingness to do so . I think calling him a god shows the degradation of society that has no desire to call on the real God of heaven and earth ,that is not bound by space and time ,That can do all things including creating everything such as a human being that can play an instrument ,Just shows you what infinite God we have !!! People want to try and say there is no GOD but it is very evident in everything that is created not involved!
@@russellchromyeah I agree. He’s a great musician but to call him a god? Too much
Absolutely love Led Zeppelin after 53 yrs they are still the greatest rock band ever in my mind. And I love listening Jimmy's stories, so intelligent, humble and funny. Their music is timeless.
“I’m still quite shy.” Goes on the stage with a double neck and dragon suit and plays solos for a good 20 min.
Maybe 70's drugs effects ? But..."The man remains the same."
@@paramita_therapie_poids your meds explain you but I wouldn't extrapolate
LOL, I thought the same.
yeah, the solos were too long...awful
Great guitarists become one with there instrument while playing, blocking out everything around them. Great examples besides Jimmy Page...Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix.
I love that when the audience clapped, he reacted as if he had never been in front of an audience before, his humility is so refreshing
He’s such a class act. Much respect
Jimmy looks pretty crispy in this interview.
Jimmy Page is the driving, organizing, technical force behind Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant, John Bonham, JPJ, all great artist-that Jimmy surrounded himself with and created one of the greatest bands of the 20th century. They are great artists and will go down in history.
It’s funny he has played and entertained in front of thousands upon thousands of people. But when people shout out compliments he hides behind his hand. It shows his humbleness and shyness. Thank you Jimmy Paige forever my favorite guitarist and favorite band
LED Zeppelin
Ok this guy is so down to earth and modest and we feel like he's one of us and a friend really. his legacy will be forever with us and beyond. God keep him safe and healthy.
james patrick page is a kinda cool dude
Yep yep
@@macktitan7 yeah he sure is a cool dude and fine when he was young he still looks good though for his age
It's not God keeping him safe...
If you don't understand how great this man is I pity you, I started playing guitar when I was 12 and 43 years later I'm still trying to master Jimmy Page, I can play his songs but I could never write one like him or play them with his soul, his versatility is unmatched.
Jimmy Page is such a personable down to earth individual, and he is the greatest guitarist, song writer, producer, musician that has ever lived and thats a fact. No one has come close to his genius. He is Amazing..
Born to do it!
Idolatry... Zeppelin is my favourite band but they are only humans, not gods.
Fantastic Interview. Jimmy's memory is so sharp, as he was when starting out. Also love the respect he carries for his former band mates. HE IS#1🎸
Such beautiful hair jimmy has!
Jimmy becomes quite chatty and charming as he relaxes and warms to his subject. Quite an accomplished man and a giant in his field.
One of my longtime lifelong favorite creative genius, to be sure!
Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarist who can only improvise sounds and different chord structures when he played with Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones live with Led Zeppelin. He probably played differently every night with passion, imagination and the sounds that he plays is so unexpected. After listening to those recordings from their BBC Sessions to other live performances, it seems he wanted and instinctively played amazingly with his guitar solos, riffs and other chords coming from classical music composers. It was his touch of embedding on his guitar solos. So clever! Being a producer, guitarist and being a part of Led Zeppelin was so incredible! For those Led Zepp fans, and other music lovers who listen to their music - it will be a treat if you listen to their live performance recordings. Every time they play - there are a lot of improvisations, mutations when they play their songs. No one ever does that except Led Zeppelin - they are the only band that does that!
They're not the only band who does that lol you probably haven't watched Queen concerts. Queen didn't just improvise a lot, they frequently did medleys of multiple songs in their live performances. But aside from that, I agree with you. I've watched Led Zeppelin at Danmark TV 1969 and Royal Albert Hall 1970, they're awesome.
Jimmy is the only guitarist that every single song had a different guitar hook. No other can say that
🙏🎧🙏
I feel as if I have finally gotten to know Jimmy Page. Led Zep albums are all in my vinyl collection, but just recently I've started to get to know them, truly. What a dear, special part of my teen years. Now it's coming back!
1:04:45 I love how even at this point in his life he still has humility and seems to be shy, incredibly endearing.
I listened to Led Zepplin One more than 100 times in 1968 at 12 years old. Best time of my life, thanks Jimmy!
What a wonderful interview...what a wonderful man. How can you not just absolutely love Jimmy?
He's most likely an old satanist...
Jimmy is very good at writing riffs, maybe the best ever. He is so smooth, Their music was the kind that was heavy but with beautiful work.
What a brilliant musician! A great time for music that won't be repeated from a rock standpoint. To think of the many great riffs Jimmy Page has created is incredible.
Rifferama.
Very Creative
Interesting though...he did not even mention his contemporary genius guitarist--Jimi Hendrix--and he once claimed to have never even met Jimi...hard to believe, as the circle of British musicians around in the late 60s included Hendrix.
This guy wrote the song "Kashmir." What an epic song.!
Daniel Ruelas yeah my friend wrote similar bucket of crap
@@kevwoods6827 you are so rude love. Kashmir is a soul of a song. But Robert wrote the lyrics.
Ross Forrest cheers thank you for your reply sums up your intelligence 🤔🤔🤔
I LOVE Kashmir!!!!!! I have it on a loop every single day! ♥️♥️♥️
Kashmir, my fave Zepp song!
Man, when he starts explaning the work on Achilles Last Stand, i just thought to my self Nobody could have done that song like jimmy did, the way he built it and the details are just unbelievable, it's just an amazing peace of work,
Simen-pedro karoliussen IN ONE NIGHT
Page has a brilliant brain.
Fascinating to hear Jimmy tell his stories. Such a class act, so intelligent and thoughtful.
And no brain-fogged selfindulgence as other musicians at his age
My dad was a record producer in London in the 60s and I remember him mentioning two session guitarists who were the best: Big Jim Sullivan and Little Jim.
It's amazing to hear how much enthusiasm Jimmy has for his art, it makes me sad he hasn't been interviewed more through the years because it's so refreshing.
He's not always been the best interview subject, often really circumspect or full of in jokes. This is really one of the best interviews I've seen him give
I've read the hammer of the gods and Jimmy was a loner, but friendly to. Usually great musicians and writers isolate at times.
so love this band, and Jimmy Page just carries himself with such class and intelligence. Not even a shred of arrogance...and given what he has achieved, that speaks volumes as to his character. I loved how excited he was in retelling the story of singing along with Leona Lewis, just effusive in his accolades of her, and I also loved his retelling of how he was able to keep his energy up, "If you were in a band like that you just had the energy to be honest with you, because it was just so exhilarating.." And his recall of names, dates, places, faces incredible. What a fabulous interview......Only sorry I never had the chance to see them live in their hey day
based on his music, I can totally imagine him as a raving lunatic personality too! It is neat the way his demeanor here belies his ability to create thunderous sounds.
I first heard “Whole Lotta Love” when I was 13... and I haven’t stopped playing Led Zeppelin... 50 years later!👍😉❤️
Beautiful man. Beautiful, sweet voice. So strong with his playing. Sweet as Heaven in conversation. 🙏🌹💓
couldn't have said it better...
It's hard to think of this man as just a human. He's NOT just another human. He's extremely amazing. His talent is beyond many genius' of the 20th century. I wonder if he knows this sometimes but in reality I think he does. He must. The book looks really cool and if I were rich I'd buy two signed copies and put one in a bank vault. God Bless you Jimmy, We love you, deeply.
@Flaming Pie hahahahahahahahah what??
I bet the ass kissing gets old, then its great again.
@Fool OnTheHiLL Who's the other side Fool? Do you mean France or BBC2?
I'm not saying led zeppelin fans are stupid. You are inarticulate. Jimmy page could play fingerstyle acoustic. He was a musician. Knew his goddamn notes. By ear. Ok.
@Fools On The HillThis is a common reaction to genius. From this interview, he worked hard to become Jimmy Page as we know him. Somehow, he knew just what to do. How does this happen?
Geeez Jimmy page, don't you realize how much you are appreciated? To the moon and back baby!
It's amazing to me how this band is still so much a part of my life. The feelings and memories it provokes every time i hear one of their songs. I bought my first Led zeppelin album when i was twelve i'm now fifty eight and i enjoy them as much or more now than i did then! THANK YOU!!!!
I'm 58 now, and I feel the same way! ❤
No pierced ears, no tattoos, no gauge earlobes. Just an obsessed musician. Take note.
When I was young Jimmy was 5 years older than me and he still is. I didn't know much about Led Zeppelin in my youth because they didn't release singles. I passed on the chance to see them in San Francisco, a decision I will regret until I die. Led Zeppelin is the finest rock band to have walked our earth.
When I was 15 my parents lived in Malaysia and I dragged my parents to drive to Singapore to see the Yardbirds. Jimmy page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. It was quite new for them looking around and watching everybody screaming but they really enjoyed the music. Little did I know Led Zepplin would happen when I came to live in America. And even my parents were well into their middle age at that point Could appreciate Jimmy page’s music, and actually liked listening to Led Zeppelin. So nice that I could share it with my senior parents that could appreciate this music. Truly a quintessential rock band Of all time!
@@karenmorris2239 that's an incredible memory. Your parents sound like good people, cheers.
I thought you'd have caught him up. It's only five years.
I love the way he reacted when that girl yelled "You're a god!" He's so adorable
I wish i could have a chance to react to someone yelling that to me. Or..even if they yell “You’re an angel” to me. Or..even “you’re a good ‘ol chap.”
Was married to a classical guitarist. Had to hide my rich albums when his classical friends came over

Lol really!
all my sympathy to jimmy. a very pleasant interviewpartner. NO starbehaving at all. and a BIG part of my life as a music listener. hats off to jimmy.
Morning
jeff is so child like, star struck, he is so genuinely interested has to be the best interview i have ever seen
Absolutely!! I couldn’t agree more. I loved the way he encouraged Jimmy to tell his story. A totally delightful experience
He seems genuinely a humble guy. Most of them let the fame go to their heads, I think. He's has been one of my greatest influences regarding guitar.
All the remaining members of Zeppelin are very down to earth. Great, polite and creative guys
What's amazing about Led Zeppelin is "In through the Outdoor."
It was completely different from their early material,incorporated West African polyrhythms + proto goth-rock yet still sounded like them. They never stopped evolving and it wasn't forced. Freaking incredible.
I love lots and lots of guitarists, as a player myself, but if I were really, really pushed to narrow it down to the one... It would have to be this man. Seems like an absolutely lovely man too. Thank you, Jimmy for all your amazing music.
Whatever his personal sins may be, whatever the state of his conscience, God bless Jimmy. His music truly is life-changing music, it certainly changed my life and led to me getting into bands, meeting my former partner and having my son. Not to mention changing my view of music and myself forever. Thank you Jimmy for the inspiration, the excitement, the intensity.
I think it was systemic back then, jagger, Bowie, beatles and they all had very willing participants, which is not to minimise it and say it is ok, but it was culturally very different
I love this person.
I love the band he created.
I love the vision he brought to bear.
I love the otherworldly nature of his life's work.
I love the mystery, the mastery, the occult influence, the spirituality, the transcendence.
And, My God, that Guitar....
This band stands alone.
End Of.
Jimmy sounds like he's getting over a bit of a cold with that cough. Hope he's doing okay. He's a global treasure.
Jimmy page I was fortunate enough to see your shows in your prime each being as exciting to experience as the previous more of an adventure into the talent and just an experience unparalleled before by my senses it was a fabulous time and I felt your presense was the pinnacle of that era somehow still unexplainable to me in words I saw you on east coast usa in just the perfect time I thank you for being there and here now I hope you are well and continue to be inspirational intellectually spiritually physically as you are here still in this magical moment too. Bless you take care mr j.page!!🎨
His greatness comes from diving deep inside himself and putting out all the hard work. Truly inspirational work.
Today's musician should model his type of hard relentless work before reaching for stardom.
Wow - this is truly a genius from day one - and such a humble, honest and very real man... This was a truly wonderful interview with a really fantastic guitarist, songwriter, and creator of some the absolute best music ever recorded - period - end of discussion - thank you Jimmy Page for all you have done and contributed and given the world for decades !!!
Jimmy, you deserve an interviewer with intellect. Koons isn't fit to replace your guitar strings. (And you've been on my bucket list since I was a teenage girl!)
Not surprised Koons' creativity was sparked by Zep more than any painter. Page emanates an ineffable force, an understated but kinetic coolness that allowed so many young people to be inspired directly by his musical genius/rythmic energy--and incidentally too, as a presence upon which they could project their own dreams and desires, no matter the medium.
I've always liked Page and loved his playing....but hearing this I like him so much more. What a nice, humble, thoughtful guy.
Yes Yes. And he was so humbly dabling in satanism and under age girls.
I've heard Jimmy Page in interview before. He is always so humble and willing to give credit to others. Jeff Koons didn't deserve this interview. This was not his conversation to lead, but to ask and listen.
I couldn't have said it better myself. This interviewer is sucking some of the magic here.
Wouldve been better to let that James Lipton dude interview him. This fucker makes Lipton look like Lester Bangs!
Especially when Koon says "rift" instead of "riff"…
He wasn't too humble to put his name to other people's work
Yes we can go pick it
Around 1:05:09 when the crowd calls jimmy cool and jimmy says that he's shy!!! Love this man
It still blows my mind that he looks so much like my Japanese grandfather but then out comes this wonderful British voice.
Gosh, he is just the penultimate of cool.
I don't even have the words other than to say thank you for this gift Jimmy is and always will be my number one guitar God there's many great guitarists out there but Jimmy is the total package it's not just his great guitar playing it's how he plays the acoustic guitar all different types and styles but what about the great songs the catalog of songs it's all about the songs thank you Mr Paige and thank you sir for this great interview
"I'm still a young man with time on my hands and with encouragement like this, I'm planning to play live in 2015", , Thank you Jimmy, , , please consider including Jonesy and Jason in your plans, we can't wait to hear you again very soon playing live ~!~
I seen Zeppelin around 1977 in Louisville, Ky., it was hands down the best show I'd ever seen. And, I had seen some really good bands back then, Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard, Queen, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, etc.. But, Zeppelin was always my favorite band, hands down, not even close. I idolized them. I wore that damn black t-shirt I picked up at their concert for years! Wish I still had it. What a band. Thanks Jimmy for doing the interview, and I also liked the guy doing the interview, he seemed blown away to be on stage with Jimmy Page.
Sounds like we went to many of the same concerts. We are so lucky to have had the experience of this music!
the interviewer is a fabulous visual artist, jeff koons
@@barbaraolson600 Sorry folks--but James Marshall Hendrix was even better!
I’m a Gilmour fan so Pink Floyd’s my band. But what guitarist alive can say Jimmy Paige isn’t a guitar god? Eddie is dead. So.
I knew an older woman who saw Led Zeppelin in Louisville KY at Freedom Hall. She said it was so crowded her feet didn't touch the ground all night + her BF had to hold her on his shoulders half the time. She said their hearing was shot for 2 days + it was the best concert she'd ever seen. This was the 90's after 3 decades of concert experiences.
What a brilliant man! He does look well and his memory is sharp!! Stay healthy and safe, Jimmy!!
What a graceful, artistic genius this man is. Absolutely shaped my younger years. I am a semi professional musician now, thanks to JP.
the fact that jimmy page is the greatest guitarist of all time isn’t really something you can debate, it’s just fact. people who argue otherwise are ignorant. plain and simple. his work speaks for itself.
I find his electric guitar playing sloppy, unmusical, and boring, although I liked some of his acoustic playing. He is WAY overrated, and a satanist.
@@pharmerdavid1432 if sloppy fits, sloppy sits. And just because someone is more interested into the weirder spiritual sides of life doesn’t directly mean they’re satanic. Don’t lie, are you Tipper Gore?
Jimi Hendrix is number one Cmon now
Personally, he’s my favorite guitarist ever but it’s still a matter of opinion. When people are at a certain level at guitar any of them could really be the best. Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, SRV, and many others. It’s about whose style moves you the most
@@Oriolesfun Hendrix set such a unique, awesome standard during his brief, 4 years as a Rock superstar. Jimmy Page managed to survive, and therefore, create his own brand of unique musical expression. Two mind-blowing musicians, for sure!
Thank You Jimmy for picking up that guitar.........................i couldn't imagine this world without you or your music
This is the most amazing interview I have ever heard,! I've been listening to Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page since 1976 when I was like nine years old and I had no idea that he was so talented as a young musician and played on all those famous albums! I appreciate him more than I ever had before. Thank you Jimmy for an amazing life and career! The other thing I never realized is Jimmy was the driving force behind Led Zeppelin and created what they became! Such an amazing person! This interview has taken my listening of Led Zeppelin to a whole new level! I need to buy a new Marantz amplifier! By the way Jimmy's memory is amazing when he's reflecting back on all these songs and situations from many years back. He is the genius behind Led Zeppelin! And I had no idea. I really appreciate this interview.
A funny story .. I met him through a musician friend who played with him on the Plant and Page tour . Two years later I’m in Sainsbury’s doing my food shopping and he’s in the aisle with a little basket . He had moved to my area and we ran into each other many times . At this point he’s maybe close to 70. It was hard to believe when I was talking to this intelligent , soft spoken man , the Jimmy page of the 70’s who was supposedly drug and sex crazed . What struck me the most about him was how intelligent he is and not full of himself . Very nice and down to earth . It was quite an experience
he is so humble after all of his achievements.love him
Yeah but he's right a lot of us learned how to feel by listening to Led Zep and Jimmy is the greatest guitarist ever. Love you Led Zep! Rock on guys!
I adore Jimmy and his music but please greatest guitarist ever?..your having a laugh surely..
andy owen It’s a subjective statement of appreciation, the superlative is just an expression of awe. zep brought a lot of happiness to people
LED Zeppelin we’re part o my youth in the 70s. It was a fantastic time to be a teen with all the great music around. LED Zeppelin were such a iconic talented band. Still listen to their music and love it.
In November of 1969, my Canadian band (Copperpenny) opened for Led Zep in Kitchener Ontario. Our group performed our first album live that night (RCA records) and then had front row seats to watch this GREAT band! My apologies for borrowing Jimmy's pick (which, during our last tune, I broke) but I think his career went on quite well anyway. The best rock band in history was in our home town and I'll always remember.
Where did they play??!
Wow!! What a great story
How cool a story is that ? Thanks for sharing history.
still waiting for that Copperpenny followup album..wtf?
Were Copperpenny a forerunner for Nickleback? It has a similar ring to it.
I loved this, but I'm a little sad. Jimmy tried to tell a story about how he acquired the dragon outfit - he even vocalized something like "can I tell you a story about it?" - but he got cut off and rerouted away. I wanna hear the story! Otherwise great interview, Mr Page is so incredibly entertaining - guitar in hand or not.
Yeah that really annoyed me, I wanted to hear about it
Real musicians reroute when it calls
He tasks n moves the same as he plays
The interviewer is really kind of lame. He's banal.
vixapphire 6:03 yeah yeah yeah
I can listen to Pagey play or speak all day long, and I do listen to his music every day!
The song does NOT remain the same.
Jimmy you are well spoken and gracious. We are blessed to have you. As you are blessed to have been able to have brought the love you have. What a time...
Jeff Koons is so full of himself; I wasn't interested in all his flowery interpretations/opinions of Jimmy's musical genius.I loved everything Jimmy had to say; he's well spoken and communicates incredibly well - so we know who he is and where the music came from within. Aside from Koons wasting so much time, this was a super fine interview.
All the years growing up with the “mystique “ of Jimmy. Turns out he’s just a super sweet, shy, and amazingly humble. I’m so proud that Zep was, is, and will be my all time favorite band. I can’t imagine my life without their music. It has had major influence throughout my life.
scott peitavino - I completely agree & find myself getting a Zep fix everyday ❣️🌟
Are you freakin' kidding? Page is "super sweet, shy, and amazingly humble?" Precisely how many bong hits did you take before you hacked that out? The guy spent the majority of his life being a mean, arrogant SOB.
Tonto Epstein you are dazed and confused. tonto epstein is the arrogant SOB.
....the clintons killed your brother
One of the best guitar players of all time....love any thing he has to say.
the best guitar player of all time
@@rememberingtruth Jimi Hendrix nr. 1
Brian may Jimmy page YES guitarist and Ed king Steve Gaines Gary Rossington and Allen Collins are my favorite guitarists
I'm amazed how humble he truly is! He is Music Deity!
Really enjoyed that. Jimmy is so articulate. And to think, those songs are in his head when they enter the studio.
I actually saw this very interview on Channel 25,WNYE-TV!
Seeing Jimmy Page onstage with Jeff Koons was,to me,
quite a religious experience! Awesome!!!
Listening to this man is such a humbling experience.
I have met him he's not only the greatest gifted guitarists of all time he is the greatest Innovator of all time. He's the most humble person.he let me hold his guitars therman etc! Peace Love and Light.,✌️❤️🎸
Fascinating. Completely fascinating. People who aren’t even a fraction as worthy of praise could take lessons in humility from this gem of a man. Great, great person and great, great interview.
Jimmy gets my vote for most huggable rock star ever.
DUDE! He's a person, talk to him like it! It's just awkward, we get it you like his music but just shut up instead of interrupting him and overwhelming him with complements and philosophical bs
Especially if your a 14 year old girl lol
He looks healthier and happier than he's been for years, bless him. His middle-years (1980s post-Zep) were a bit... uneven, but overall he's been incredibly lucky his whole life.
Well, yeah, he was doing heroin and what not. At the '83 ARMS concert he was quite out there, but still did a nice Chopin piece. Everyone was doing coke in the 80s.
He seems brighter and clearer than even ten years ago.
Yeah, he is looking healthy and cheerier. He had put on more weight a time ago (if you recall is face looking chubbier), but lost it about five years ago. For 70 yrs old he's looking pretty good.
***** uh huh, probably better than Keith Richards anyway, nothing against the latter. I like both. just saying...
***** he looks fantastic!
