- Watch Louise Molony's interview with Jimmy Page, ahead of the release of the re-mastered Led Zeppelin I, II and III albums with previously unheard companion audio discs.
This is about the most animated I've seen him in an interview, such a joy to listen to, all of the history, his timeless wisdom - oh! He winks at her at the very end! Devastatingly charming soul.
It's the coke. How Many More Times are you gonna play with your nose?
@@tomthomas9264 Super stoooopid comment - I rub my nose all the time and don't do coke. It's grown up time.
@@turnsufficient4971 Sorry I offended you. Apologies offered. Surely a former heroin addict eschews drugs of all types and manner.
@tomthomas9264 he's been clean and sober for years, you judgemental POS.
Excellent interview. So much Love for this dude. A truly great artist.
Man can just see that this man is born to be what he is, no force is there, everything runs with flow, inspirational
2019: Just now seeing this.. love Jimmy’s laugh & vast knowledge.. could listen to him all day❣️ I watch Robert’s interviews & he also has that fondness when talks of Jimmy..
Thank you Sir Jimmy for putting together the best four musicians ever🔥
Led Zeppelin, quite simply the greatest band ever!!
Without a doubt, absolute legends
I would get bored just listening to Zepp!
Hi Colt. I rank Led Zeppelin as being the 4th greatest band of all time:
#1. The Beatles
#2. The Rolling Stones
#3. The Who
#4. Led Zeppelin
#5. Chicago
Honorable Mention:
Pink Floyd
Queen
The Eagles
The Beach Boys
Fleetwood Mac
Agree 100%. I rated them so highly that the second place band was number 3, and there was no number 2 because number 1 (Led Zeppelin) was SO good.
@@JimmyPlato1
I agree with your list. THE WHO NEVER get the respect they deserve. They were EASILY as important and groundbreaking as Zeppelin. The Tommy Rock opera and WHOSE NEXT album are MASTERPIECES.
THE BEATLES WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOVERNORS. Its not even CLOSE. And the Stones for PURE ROCK AND ROLL unforgettable RIFFS and LONGEVITY. Have earned their stripes. So yes that list is FANTASTIC.
He has given so much to Rock and Roll, and music in general. He has given so much pleasure to us.
Hope I look as cool as Jimmy when I'm 70!
Yeah he's held up very well for his age! Jimmy is a absolute legendary maestro guitarist!
saw another interview he talks about that, actually discussion not interview, and he says he stopped drinking and other things to stay alive . lol
Yeah, he looks so cool with the white grandmaster hair, and dressed in black.
Being a multi millionaire certainly helps, lol.
76 now ‘
The members of Led Zeppelin were simply MEANT to be together.What followed,as we know,were the jaw dropping songs and performances that created legions of life long fans,and influences budding musicians to this day.
Jimmy Page deserves credit for bring a Great Composer and not just a songwriter !!
And a great record producer.
Zeppelin was so much more than what Heavy Metal is. They could play anything, any style and do it all - well. They didnt stick to one sound. You cant label Zeppelin into any single catagory. They touched on so many areas and sounds. They are the Greatest - Period.
I knew this since the first time I heard them at age 14, in 1987
Jimmy's body language is pretty interesting. He is almost constantly emulating guitar play. His left hand, palm up and out, making sliding motions. His right hand palm inward, making strumming-like gestures and finding pressure on his chest or leg. If you watch carefully, and know a little about playing a guitar, you can see his left hand is at times actually mimicking his voice inflections on a imaginary fret board. Pretty cool.
If you ever see Keith Richards on certain interviews he does the same thing. Thank you for noticing !
I only see him instinctively wiping the invisible cocaine away from his nose lol
shut up dsm
dsm3759703 overly creepy/obsessed fans again, not a surprise considering it’s Led Zeppelin, but still .
Not giving a fuck piss off you idiot, it’s a perfectly valid and interesting observation.
Total gentleman, all class
Jimmy is and always will be the greatest guitarist of our time and everytime you put an album of theres on you discover something new.
Excellent speaker. Jimmy’s ability and talent to express music and emotion is amazing.
Jimmy Page...for as big a star as he is...he really tries to listen hard to the question and give thoughtful answers. He takes it seriously. He won't talk about much more than the music. He has a narrow focus, but he really tries to share. An interesting person.
knowsmebyname I’m sure his focus is not so narrow when just talking off the cuff in a non-interview situation. I hear he’s highly intelligent on a variety of subjects.
Totally agree. Shes a legend in her own mind.
@@MsAppassionatathere are subjects he will never talk about and that's his right.
@@bellabunnell3174 Yes it is. He’s learned from years of having to deal with the press. They (especially Rolling Stone magazine) have not always been kind to Zeppelin and, I’m sure, he is quite wary because of that.
This is one of the best Jimmy Page interviews I have ever heard! WELL DONE !
Yeah, Jimmy seemed to be really into it and keen. The attractive presenter helped too, I guess.
Yeah she is so smart
@@geruto17760
I like her voice.
Jimmy is quite possibly the coolest cat to walk the planet. Thank you Mr. Page
Page is the guru of rock. He’s so centered. I’ve never seen him be anything but calm, polite, and well spoken. You don’t see much ego at all. And i think this lent itself to his ability to focus and generate consistently well-written and composed albums year after year. Not a bad one in the bunch. Genius.
Jimmy is a gentleman very proper Englishman well spoken , little different from Johnny Rotten also love Johnny he is very honest .
Jimmy has mounted an impressive promotional media blitz which heralds the archival releases. You might expect he would tire of the same old questions, but its obvious that he relishes a discussion of Zeppelin's early creative process. It seems to enliven him, so this becomes quite a victory lap for him, arguably one of the finest musicians of the past fifty years.
Ed9870
just dont ask about a reunion.lol
Argueably? There's no argument.....he would be that on his level of playing ability..."Top 5 Guitarists" is a pretty exclusive club to begin with, but add his abilities as an innovator and producer and yeah, no argument. None.
Totally agree.. I wish he could have kept expanding more post Led Zep as a solo guitarist ...who knows in what direction he would have gone? I see him guesting with orchestras and having his writing live on in that venue too. He can't be pigeon holed
They were one of the best...I’m 74 and still listen and love each & every of Zep’s classic songs...never ever gets old. 💜💋
The dictionary definition of ROCK STAR just shows a pic of Jimmy, circa 1973....
Haha. 😎
The picture of him lifting his double neck skyward wearing the dragon bell bottoms is to me the most iconic picture in all of rock.
"ramble on" "oh that's my favorite". i couldn't tell u which is my favorite cuz it changes from day to day, week to week. most all of them r my favorites.
Imagration
I just LOVE Jimmy Page, everything about him.
I'm kinda blown away by these videos on Y.T. of teens and even 20 somethings only recently discovering Led Zeppelin.It seemed for along time their music was passed on from one generation to the next one coming up. Seems like there was a almost pause period.
Jimmy Page is to rocking and rolling as Michelangelo was to painting and sculpting
Long live Jimmy Page! The lick/riff MASTER!! So humble and open. Love this guy! Everyday I bet I play one or more Jimmy riffs! 🎶🕶✌🏻
I can relate!
That man is the reason I've played guitar for 40 sum years.
Omg I love his passionate talking about the group and the music... Jimmy you are an angel!
The power and dynamics are what make Zeppelin for me, I love the band. Smoke a joint and listen to Gallows Pole, you'll be in heaven. Tremendous band, I'll always treasure their records.
I love him at the very end. He's very passionate, sweet and charming. I wish I knew him. :(
Jimmy was largely self-taught from the age of 12; Ritchie Blackmore was formally taught from the age of 11 for a year, including learning classical influences that have stayed with him from that time onwards.
….it's pretty spooky that Jimmy seems human, like the rest of us.....listening to him play says otherwise!
None of us are merely human.
@@THX-ov8rv I don't understand your sentence, and I didn't type the words "merely human" anywhere in my comment. But I do know that when you hear the phrase "merely human" it signifies the fact that as human beings, we are far from perfect and although we are at the top of the food chain, judging by the latest in the current news cycle-we have a long way to go. Are you a Zep fan? peace, Treff
@@treffbennett6534 We are far more than meets the eye ;) Enjoy the day.
I'll never forget the first Zeppelin I heard thanks to my older brother around 1972, who also put my first guitar in my hands. I'll also remember taking some piano lab class in 8th Grade and I brought the sheet music to Stairway in. The teacher rolled her eyes when she saw it was Zeppelin, UNTIL, she actually began playing it. Jimmy, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert were/are EPIC. Just really look at what all Jimmy Page has played on being a "gun for hire" studio musician! EPIC!
That was so darn cute -- love Jimmy !
Wasn't it? That bit at the end?
Listen to his answer at 15:30. I was not a big fan "back in the day", if I was I would have been at the "Last Dance" at the Eissporthalle because I was just a few miles down the road that night. I have only recently just started listen to Zeppelin 'seriously', (forced me to dig my stereo out of storage and hook it up) and it's exactly as Jimmy describes for me now, what a trove of treasures to discover! The fact that this is possible 40-50 years down the road is amazing, it speaks the the quality not only of the musicianship but of Jimmy's vision all the way through it, that NONE of this stuff sounds dated, and that is why the Zeppelin will never come to earth. Thanks so much Jimmy, God Bless.
josey wales I was a late comer to Zeppelin , I even turned down a free ticket to see them in 73. Made up for it since though, even got to spend
Some time with jimmy as the band I was in shared management. Lovely guy & ask him about the Yardbirds & his eyes light up.
,
I listen to Led Zeppelin every day, and it hits a nail on its head!
The greatest guitarist of all time.
I think this is one of the best interviews with Jimmy Page.
The guy is genuine,he knows he is being filmed,and a lot of people,are going to be watching- yet he is so matter of fact,and laid back-that you realize,this guy is simplicity itself-and real genuine things in life-are simple!For something to be good,and,real- it has to stand the test of time!I like them in 1970-and I still like them now!
really nice interview... With a nice intimate feeling as if Jimmy was talking to a personal friend and sharing some remembrance of the emotional impact on those are early years and never heard him talk about in such detail how they first all got together that was really cool
polara01 I’ve met him & he talks just like this to you. A true artist.
love him!
I love this guy !! He has no idea what an inspiration he has been to me and my life and so many more I'm sure !
the guitarist ! a musical genius : love him so much
Living legend
Newly minted 14 years olds happen occur every day. Led Zeppelin II is the Gold Standard. I was 14 in October of 1969. Led Zeppelin II was my introduction to Blues-Based Hard Rock. The power of LZ II will be impacting 14 year olds long after all of the 70's artists have passed on.
Very sad to hear he's being harassed in his house by neighbour Robbie Williams. Jimmy needs fan support to get him through this.
Michael Stephen I walked by his house last month. He’s also being harassed by the opposite neighbor - his music studio is on that side and he’s concerned about the work noise affecting the studio. His house is absolutely beautiful.
Jennifer Wood In what general area is it located?
MsAppassionata Holland Park, Kensington. There aren’t high fences or anything - it’s right at the street. I stood right up to it, studying his gargoyle gutter spout.
MsAppassionata Google “Tower House” - first sentence is the address.
Jennifer Wood Thanks for the info. I went to London a long time ago and stayed at the Kensington Close Hotel. Is it anywhere near there?
What a Tease she is.I was only Fourteen.On you Jimmy you Handled it well!!
WOOOOOW I just caught that subliminal lmao.
"I went straight from softcore led zeppelin to hardcore led zeppelin."
yeah I dont think she meant that though. she should have paused for 4 or 5 seconds after giving her age, and then continued
Jimmy, a main player in the soundtrack of my youth.
Of my life LOL!
🐉🎸🎶🎵🧠
I heard Whole Lotta Love at 14. I still play guitar to those albums and I am now 55. Rock on.
She is a GREAT interviewer. Very refreshing.
8:12 positively giddy over his creation! Awesome.
Great job, this interviewer knows when to keep quiet and when to speak...very rare with the Zep interviews.
She did it well.
Thanks for sharing this, Louise did an outstanding job with the interview.
I agree they were and still are the very best band ever
Just Magic!! I was lucky to be able to listen to them in High school and on my era of music!!
I agree Ramble on my all time favorite, Jimmy is
Brilliant!! Great interview,
And I remember exactly where I was when Kashmir
Came out it was so great!
🇺🇸 Mr. Jimmy Page You did a wonderful Job Putting a Band Together.! 😊👍🏼
NONE Of The Members Had To Stay Everyone was Free To Play their instrument The way they wanted.!!! 👍🏼
4 young musicians on a Roll To Express There Talented & Had Much Fun BEING FREE TO EXPRESS IT.!!! God Blessed You 4 Amen 🙏
Cream opened the
Door to hard rock,
Zep "kicked" the
Door down!
06:34 This is the biggest worry that I have abut music moving forward. The album format, which depends, to a degree, on a physical product that you can hold in your hands, being eliminated. It makes the musical tangible. I am just not sure you can achieve that thru just a digital download. Moreover, in the future we could see such legendary bands like LZ, The Who, or Pink Floyd - or at least bands with these sort of aspirations - being shut out of the music business. Bands that need full albums to express themselves as opposed to a hit single. With the exception of a few tunes like "Whole Lotta Love," LZ was not a singles bands. Songs like "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "thank You" only became famous because they were on albums.
it's such a pleasure to listen to Jimmy Page talk about his bands cause the guy is a living Legend and him, Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Deep Purple, Queen,Floyd, Yardbirds, Aerosmith, Def Leppard were the real music this planet had, and whatever came after them were in general shit.
def leppard and aerosmith are not a pimple on the ass of led zep
AND THE WHO!!!!
merseywhogirl oh yeah, you're right I forgot to mention them as well. Great band!!! Seeker and Sister Disco kick major ass along with Magic Bus and the rest of their classics
Replace Def with Jimi hendrix.
Agreed, DL doesn't belong anywhere near those other bands...but Jimi DOES.
Thaanks Jimmy and all of Led Zeppelin for always being in my head since I first heard Black Dog...
I PRAY!!! Zeppelin tours one last time....for those of us who have played there albums over and over and watched every concert footage, bootleg albums event he band would tell you u need to see them live. PLZ TOUR ONE MORE TIME!!!!.....Then one more album ;)
MovieHound17 no man...they went out on top with arguably the greatest concert ever in 2007
...long live Zeppelin
moviehound and lou foucher, Dragon suit time for Jimmy, saw them 79 knebworth 1st night. lou, check out earls court shows 1975 esp last show.
Jimmy Page is my idol forever
MovieHound17 Unfortunately you can never really see Led Zeppelin live again because John Bonham died 39 years ago. The closest you can ever hope to come is if his son Jason decides to perform with the others again.
Well, no
Communication Breakdown was the very first song I heard from this group Led Zeppelin. To be honest, I didn't know what to think. But it got my attention and my life has never been the same ever since.
Records get passed on by listeners, it's one of the joys of music.
Just love you Jimmy!
The man is a genius. Thank you.
Best Jimmy Page interview I ever saw, and I probably saw them all. He's so relaxed here and shares a lot of insights.
He's such a cute flirt!!
She needs to stop interrupting the master. Let him finish his answer to the question that was asked. And then ask another.
Likes the sound of her own voice....I mean come on, Jimmy is a very polite man so when he has to actually run over top of you to answer your question, you're a blabbermouth....
She's still very young and animated. That's all.
She let Jimmy talk most of the time, but did step on him speaking a few times.
She’s just trying to make it work for radio - and Jimmy isn’t good at picking up her cues so it makes for a bit unpolished. It’s not meant to be an interview just for zepheads so she being pretty minimal in the questions (which if you listen are all ways of introducing background and context for listeners that don’t know the story) ps idk why I’m replying to old comments but there you go
Hail to the king
Guitar genius and great Producer of the best music in history🐉🎸✌️👋👋👋👋
Best guitar player ever! And still s cute as can be!
thanks for the subtitles
Jimmy should create a Spotify playlist of his favourite tunes now , favourites tunes growing up and tunes that influenced him and Zepp
If you doubt this, simply listen to 'Good times Bad times' a few times closely and you'll get it
JIMMY REALLY DOWN TO EARTH NICE GUY
Jimmy is so down to earth he seems and polite. 😊😊😊😊
the last 3 seconds....so flirting...
smoothest, coolest cat who's ever graced this planet earth lmao.
@@jetboy_ p pop
He did same thing to my girlfriend when I met him in Hollywood 20 years ago. Gave her a wink too. Right in front of me! Classic
@@ottodetroit 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love him. That would have worked on me!
Wonderful
Greatest guitarist-Jimmy Page
Greatest vocalist-Robert Plant
Greatest drummer-John Bonham
One of the greatest bassist's-John Paul Jones
….I wonder what it is that makes LED ZEPPELIN SO GREAT?
I first heard him with the Yardbirds(and they were good),then with LED Zepplin.At the time,there was very little information on the music like today.Only the name of composers.First time I heard LZ,was in Florida,and liked the group.Beatles,stones etc,I heard in school,in England.LZ is one of my favorites,unfortunately all things must PASS!
I absolutely loved this girl after jimmy.
And here you have a serious, thoughtful professional genius (god), talking to a child journalist.
Ok. I was tempted to get pen and paper and take notes.
Pay it forward...beautiful!!
looking selfishly healthy, amazing how you guys never let America crack you, thank God....xoxox
can i do immigrants song?
i remember several past lives, now....why?
fuck off
K c u fffo
Yet America helped break them wide open.
My hero
The more I listen to Jimmy Page the deeper my respect grows.
Man is genius musician.
Love Led Zeppelin. They are my favorite band. #1 and then Rival Sons/James Brown make up my trinity of great artists of all time.
Alan McLaren Rival Sons? Never heard of them. I’ll have to look into that.
zep was the heaviest. but they weren't metal. that's what all the pretenders don't understand. even going to california was heavy.
Correct.
Heavy doesnt have to be metal.
Theres music that literally sounds heavy, like the construction of the song, chords, drums, bass, etc. all comes together "heavy", but in the case of Zeppelin, its a case of really a lot the ideas are very heavy in terms of how they come across. Its fascinating for sure.
It's a shame the bit where Louise asks Jimmy about bands since Zep has been edited. I totally got when she says "But it's NOT the same"!!!! Jimmy smiles. Louise is right though - nothing since has been the same or even on equal ground. I love his 'It's a pleasure" at the end - cheeky monkey.
can u imagine the very first time these guys hooked up?
JPJ said as they first played Train Kept A Rollin' that they all knew they had "something."
He also said fucking hell in a manic voice it was like a bomb went off.
Legend
Who is this girl? So smart questioning and input Almost cry when she said she wish to go back to the time she hear led.for the first time i m 60 and have the same wish It was a mystical experience
This girl Louise is pretty good!
I think Jimmy has a crush😻 …. Lol.
In all seriousness, this man is a WORLD treasure.
Led Zeppelin will live on forever.
Love Jim but his coke reflex is soooooooo powerful god damn. I heard he' do so much blow he'd stay up for 2 weeks straight! The magic was in the counterpoint though. Look at black dog, the way the drums are ever so slightly behind the guitar. That's skill, to envision the place in time where they meet and surf on it like that. And it's curious to the ear, it piques our interest as listeners. It is pure genius.
Jimi Hendrix -JImmy Page-Joe Satriani are top 3 guitarist's in my book
Hello Louise. When will your new interview with JP be posted? Soon I hope? Hope all is well with you and yours
It used to bug me how much JP bragged on his band. Even though I was hooked from the opening chords of Good Times Bad Times. Now I don't care. Miles Davis created some kind of Gold Standard, as did the Beatles, Steely Dan, and last but not least, Led Zeppelin [name courtesy of Keith Moon.]
I'm 65 and grew up with Led Zepplin... still play those albums "all the time," nothing in the music scene comes close to Zep's tone and style of playing! Zzzzzeeeeppppppplllllllliiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn!!!
Hats off for James putting up with her. A nice gal, but clueless and a little bubble headed. Thanks James!
5:53 interesting exchange
