He’s such a beautiful guy. I also love how he speaks in poetry a bit. This man has seen it….done it….and lived it all. What a life.
Yeah what a life! They had their own private jet when they were in their early twenties!
i am always struck in his interviews by how grounded and humble this man is. he's not just any guy from any band, but you'd never know it by talking to him. he's not caught up in his glory days, or starstruck by himself, and i've seen a lot of much less accomplished musicians who are far more impressed by themselves than even their fans. he gives off no sense of "yeah, i'm pretty awesome don't you think" even tho nobody could blame him if he did. and yet he lives on a higher plane than most of us could ever imagine, much less achieve. and still he's completely in touch with modern reality, including music. not to mention his continual charitable contributions, which he'll never bring up.
So very well and beautifully stated.
You saw it to.. I feel the same way. So smart, real and funny.
I'm still in love with him BEAUTIFULLY PUT. Jewels
Knowledge the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Utterly agree. Totally connected to his roots. Great sense of humour. Humble , unaffectted by fame. He's achieved so much in his musical life. I totally understand Roberts deep connection to nature. Its nice to travel. But no place like home. With your family. ❤❤❤
I'm still a hippy at heart. Beautiful peaceful time. Not so keen on the " chemicals" .And thier effect on many lives lost.😥
What’s so sexy and enticing about Robert is that he never stops moving, learning, trying, and growing over and over again. People may see him as this heavy metal god, I did when I was much younger, but I’ve come to appreciate the man he truly is whether he’s playing with Jimmy, singing with Allison, or telling us about ancient paganism - there’s no end to his greatness.
Definitely…..☮️✌️
Exactly. Ever evolving. Changing. Always interesting. Only one Robert Plant. ❤❤
They hated being called a heavy metal band, they were a band of many genres, I wouldn’t say heavy metal though.
@@sicotshit7068 I'd call it Heavy Rock
@@milford8485 I’d agree with that, far more then heavy metal.
Such a sensitive and gentle man .... man of my heart, Celtic soul .... xxxx
I love Robert so much. The man he is, such a white light.
no place like home ....Robert's forward thinking and dreaming his dreams come true...AWESOME interview.
the only man in the music biz that has left billions on the table
He has a hippy soul. A wild soul. Love that man!
dude has a sadness about him too.
He has had his share of sadness, losing a baby boy and his pal so unexpectantly are life events that one never recovers from.
A baba cool man, he seems very conscious and spiritual and loves Wales.
@@Ian-bq7gp He loves Wales and the Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He is half Romani Gypsy. His mother was full.
"it makes Akron look like Monte Carlo" haha .... always a delight listening to Robert talk about anything .... love that man ♥
What a incredibly intellectual person even if he wasn't so famous a compassionate down to earth kinda guy that just has it and willing to share it hope he lives to be 100. ♥
A friend on G+ knows Robert and will back this up I'm sure. His name Jeff Nelson has jammed with him and videos and pics for proof. Pretty much life philosophy same lines. Check him out incredible plus him and family went through Katrina and still lives in Louisiana. He has more intestinal fortitude than me!!!
+Shannon Fisher Wow, how very cool that you know someone who knows Robert Plant!! I am so jealous as he has been my all time fav for 45 years
Mmewster just G+ Jeff Nelson he's a super guy he'll love to share has stories about him :-)
wow, how can I ask/talk to him, sort of like a teenager asking ?'s
Like I said just G+ Jeff Nelson tell him you've talked to Shannon Fisher and ask him about Robert and what kind if person he is? One of his profile photos is Jeff and Robert sitting at a bar having a beer at a table shooting the breeze, plus he has video on UA-cam of him and Robert jamming at a small bar in Louisiana, New Orleans. Cool stuff. :-)
He knew the excellence of the original Fleetwood Mac, and he acknowledged their initial sound! Thank you again Robert Plant. He's such a class act on so many levels.
You could just listen to him forever 😍
So articulate, down to earth. Great to hear.
I love Robert’s amazing vocals
I ❤️ Robert Plant. I love his ageless singing & talking voice it's so soothing to me.
I could listen to him all day long! What a beautiful heart and mind ❤
I could too as well. I 💕 Robert Plant ageless voice.
Enjoyed this insightful interview, thank you.The best line for me was "I'm keeping really good company and that's far more important than a crowded stadium."
Ironically, ahead of his Co-vid 19 time...
RP - just a down to earth, humbling yet awe inspiring human being with a brilliant voice.
robert has been my favorite rock singer my whole life, lucky to met him in 1977, bummed a smoked from him about 2 hours before a Bad Company Concert. He and Jim did a suprise appearance.
Lucky you.
What a man!
A Very Intelligent, Extremely Interesting, Well Traveled Man.
And this shows in his choice of music's. Always looking to Explore different paths, not afraid to take a chance.
Thank You ROBERT ANTHONY PLANT
✌️💕🎶🙏
Could listen to him all day!❤
Robert, may you never die. You're the best!!!💕
I love this musical history lesson with Robert Plant!
his perspective is so poetically deep
Thank you Robert for taking the time to give us insight into your world.I really enjoyed your seasoning on going from stadium rock centre stage to learning to share the centre stage with other people and some of their particulars of self.Led zepplin came to my life when I was about 14 Years old😀. I have now come to appreciate so much more, your latter day music after Led. Thank you for your beautiful music in all its forms and for your humility.Peace my fellow human.
wonderfully articulate, a rare trait in modern conversation and story telling..
lukat93 You don't say, Sherlock
Now if only he would stop with the creepy sex jokes. Hes in his 70s now.
What a beautiful man and a great Artist ... You're the Best 💕
Over the course of my life I've loved a lot of bands.. From Sabbath to the Old 97s to AC/DC to Jerry Reed. Each had their particular impact on me and I've observed the impact they have had on others. Robert, and Led Zeppelin.. are at the very pinnacle of my musical consciousness.
I dont play Zep every day anymore & haven't for many years... but when I pick up my guitar or even think in terms of creating music, I am still blown away by what those guys did.
If someone asked me one of those infamous stoner questions... "Hey, if you could magically transform into a rock band which one would you be?" .. I would say Led Zeppelin.
What I especially liked about this interview was that his own summary of his musical journey to this point was reflective and paralell to his life journey.
I wish that I could be as optimistic about todays music as Robert seems to be, but I am really happy that he has found that comfortable space he's been looking for since Zeppelin and I look forward to hearing more new music from him.
IPushHard well said!
Well said! I'm just hitting my peak of playing them non stop and learning stuff on guitar and watching interviews and live performances. I know I wont be this enthusiastic about them in 10 years but I feel they might be the best to ever do it if I'm honest! Being a guitar player in my spare time I always leaned towards Jimmy more but I'm learning that they are all equally interesting characters. Fascinating to delve into and read up on haha
Do you love Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow? I love him with Doogie White - Temple of the King
I love this man for his music and... for the man he is!!!!😙
robert plant thank you for your contribution to rock and roll and beyond the stairs
Debra Potter 1
Damn, I love Robert Plant!
+Nanci Nelms and does he love you too?
I hope Robert will consider a video of Wales with him guiding us through the homes, people and scenery. For those of us who will never get to Wales😊
Dude just by listening to his voice it give chills
Zeppelin forever
So lovely to listen to Robert, thanks for posting!
Robert, I will NEVER outgrow you because you continue to grow! :>))
Zeppelin is and will always be my favorite band. They led me to the blues. But for those people who really want to know why a Zeppelin reunion tour will never happen? Watch this video! Intellectually amazing, influential and quite the roll model. Keep on keepin' on Robert.
He and Jimmy did a lot of post LZ performances and tours, especially in the mid to late 90's, and their 2007 performance with Bonzo's boy Jason!! That's good enough for me! They've put together so much amazing music and performances as a band, that to want anything more would be greedy I think! Robert is just such a musical explorer that wants to experience different flavors with different musicians; it's not that he dislikes talking about LZ, he just wants to continue to venture out in his life's experiences. I'm glad to know he gave up smoking, I didn't know he quit! I know Jimmy survived the booze and the heroin thank God! I'm sure Robert and Jimmy keep in touch and are still dear friends. I'm just glad I grew up in the 70's and know that that was the best time to be young and get exposed to the best music...EVER!!!!
He cares about the real things that he needs hey man sign off experience being real and doing something that coincides with his self awareness
This was the fastest 50 minutes I have ever lived and so great, thanks!
Love Robert Plants voice so relaxing
Definitely!
I think lullaby is one of the most perfect albums ever to come out of any performer...so touching and atmospheric...keep on Robert!
Love listening to this legend speak. Always so interesting. Very cool
Always Humble. So incredibly intelligent.
Love Raylee. South Australia
I just love Robert.......hes so real
Great interview Robert so in tune .
A great interview, Robert Plant is always interesting and the 2 interviewers really love and know music too.
Astounding listening to Plant say "I got a rude awakening from Sonny Boy (Williamson)" then the interviewers not interested in allowing him to finish the story. For anyone who is interested, they met in a toilet and Robert asked for his autograph and Williamson just turned and said "F### off son"
Source?
Yes, Thanks a million for this. I love R.P.
I loved the Honey drippers
Wow he really looks seasoned , He is still wonderful big time.
Great interview. Thanks.
I loved it when he said Bonham “Overcooked it”. And also that he appreciates George Jones. A great singer appreciating a great singer. Outstanding interviewers. Great job guys!
Thank you for this brilliant gem. It is a gift to be invited into the intimate musings and insightful perspective of the source of one of the eternal soundtracks of my life. It's no coincidence that Planty embraces such a vast playlist of global inspiration. His artistic treasures are permanently Planted in my mind.
great great man !! thanks for the awesome interview and the upload here!
This is my second viewing of this interview. Great interview.
Oh, Robert, you have inspired me for so long. I love you.
Great interview, your voice is smooth....
Not many artist's can sing like Plant with the greatest rock group ever, but what really blew his mind was Nancy Wilson from Heart singing stairway to heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors....really captured his attention.
Ann Wilson is the primary singer in Heart. Nancy plays rhythm guitar.
...and I think the emotional element for him at the Kennedy Center Honors was probably Ann's vocals augmented by the choir.
+zepcowboy Totally agree with this. Ann Wilson's voice is just a blessing to the best rock song of all time. No one could have performed that to perfection like Heart. Everything about it, screamed pride and beauty. Led Zeppelin and the Obama's were there and that's what made it so special. The President of The United States of America watching a legendary rock band pay homage to the most legendary rock band ever (who are from my country) and the UK does rock and roll like no other country. We made R&R and it's never going to change! LZ all the way!
gee gee k Ann Wilson sang lead
zepcowboy and Jason Bonham on drums
That really blew me away as well! Just a brilliant job she did on that song..I was watching @RobertPlant face and Jimmy and John Paul lol you could just see it..Jason Bonham has so much respect for those 3 and he has always wanted to play with Led Zeppelin that his father also put on the map..Jason is a fabulous drummer in his own right..I could listen to Robert talk all day long..just a fantastic person..
Been a fan of zep and plant for as long as I can remember,
Listening to him speak makes me feel how good it would be to see a feature film story of his and the bands life with all the funny stories of stealing milk of door steps and petrol from cars. would be a great story to view.
Battle of Evermore w Sandy Dennis live was so epic
Leslie Katzenmeier - one of my absolute favorites
so wonderful !! love it!
Wonderful interview!
What i really love about Robert's music. Is its ever changing. His total passion for the blues. Total honesty, intelligence, amazing vocals. Just a really lovely guy. Unchanged by fame. Loves his music, family and footy...Still as handsome and sexy as ever. ❤❤❤
Love him too!!!
@@margareta.halliseyq1777 Me too. Along with thousands of other women. Charistmastic, funny, intelligent. A gentleman. Sexy. You could have such fun with Robert. Life would certainly never be boring.🤣🤣
What a great interview.
mr Plant does care,he just doesn't think it matters that much...he IS>.to BE or not to BE.................HE IS
Apart from the obvious comments on Robert's intelligence, wit, erudition and charm, I love his slight Staffordshire accent that keeps popping out every now and then!
That ay Staffordshire! Its Black Country! Did yoh
not listen? he grew up in Hayley Green. Went to school in Stourbridge, both Worcestershire in his day. Not necessarily Black Country, then, but they Love being Black Country now! Yoh ay from ower parts am yow? Because yoh would know that ay a Staffordshire accent! That is posh BC!
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 hearty lol
Great interview. He seems more relaxed and less guarded than i have ever seen him.
As sharp and quick witted as ever!! I love him in interviews,,,,
He has his shit together.
I think that's freaking awesome!
Maybe that's why he is so together now ..... He got it all out of his system 'back in the day'.... Better to have been a randy young pup than a frustrated old dog.
Great interview. Many interviews seem to have no point because of those interviewers who really don't show respect to the musicians but this one is worth watching and listening to. And...please don't forget that there are at least some people even in Japan who appreciate the new music world Mr. Robert Plant built up with the Sensational Space Shifters.
Robert Plant I Love your Music & style mate.Keep rocking. Love&Peace always Veronica from Nashville Tennessee God Bless you.
Great musician. Great guy!
Having just returned from a fourth trip to Snowdonia North Wales, I can attest the Welsh area of the UK is heaven on earth. Wales is my happy place. I can understand the draw.
What a special man!!love zero and all his music after my favorite of newer music is ship of fools still listening to that amazing one of a kind voice...
Zep not zero lol
Ship of fools is an old grateful dead number written by Jerry garcia .
He is a music genius to continue to put out such interesting music always my fave
this was great!
He is absolutely charming with his words of wisdom. Of course it shows in his music. My favorite band of all time. No one beats Led Zeppelin….
Wow, he mentions Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation! So cool
Such a cool guy xx
Gold!
Really great insights into plants journey...
Robert hates being interviewed. What hasn't he been asked in 50+ years? Stairway is definitely off limits. You've gotta give him credit for distancing himself from the anchor that was LZ. I dig his whole vibe. Always have. Always will.
He is the " Tall Cool One". Great artist. Great career.
"The anchor that was Led Zeppelin"? Give your head a shake. Being involved in one of the greatest rock bands in history was an anchor? Come on man. Wake up. Plant knows that he was very lucky to be involved in that band. They all do.
@@Joe-mz6dc Zeppelin is the GOAT, but they stopped making music 40 years ago. What, was Robert only allowed to sing their catalog until he dead? No he moved past the past and did his own thing. Without Bonzo there is no band. He knew it then and the rest of the world will just have to deal with it now.
Re: Always moving forward. I saw the Sensational Space Shifters in KC in 2019. It was sublime. I think, had Plant gone out with Zeppelin in 2007, we wouldn’t have had Lullaby or Carry Fire. That would be unfortunate.
I think, all things considered, he could have made time for all of it. It would have certainly been interesting to see a new Zeppelin record. I love the albums we got in its place though, namely Band of Joy and the two you mentioned.
Led Zepplin in my opinion is the greatest thing that ever happened!
I agree Led Zeppelin is a music legend that lives on as new listeners discover this awesome band and also Robert Plant solo band as well.
I agree!
them and the all the hippies of yore......60s and 70s ruled/riled the world.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Again, I was not physically searching any electronic devices to receive ( I , before the e, except after c......
The young questions of other seeing and feeling friends. 😚
✌️💫🤘🥳🥳 Great interview 🥀💕
He must've been in Chicago when he did this interview at the time.
I listen to Robert Plant talk, and I just keep wondering what his IQ is. Maybe 250 or so? He is such a subtle intellect. Good grief!
I feel I become smarter just by listening to him talk.
162
Actually e is just your average Black Country Bloke! Even the crazy ones converse at this level
You got it exactly that’s his talent he’s genius ❤
Description of the Black Country reminds me of watching Outlanders- wet moss greens sound like heaven- wow
Hahaha dragons with moats- Is it like the highlands of Scotland?
I live in the black country in a town called willenhall. Where at St giles youth club, Robert spent many hours
Yeah because it makes Akron look like Monte Carlo.....😉
Great humain...incredible talent..no tatoos no manners just pur art and soul.
I remember him saying
Goode ending such a gentleman. Then the wild and great music and America loved them.
Good evening not good ending.
It's not home, Robert. That's why. It's not home.
first cassette tape i bought that changed everything? Led Zeppelin II, imagine that, lol. Remember it like yesterday.. I was with my dad on the road on interstate 81 north in virginia at a truck stop at about 11 or 12 years old. I had listened to all my dads 8 tracks of ccr, the hollies and so on but they weren't mine. I got Zeppelin II, and the grass roots believe it or not lol. I loved midnight confessions and temptation eyes but there was nothing like Led Zeppelin II. I wore it out all the way to mass and back to tenn. Zeppelin has been tops for me ever since and I am almost 50 now.
I still play LZ on Interstate 81 in Virginia 👍
tremendo artista
I go to the same college in Stourbridge! yay
Love to sit round the table with him talk about life this one and the next 😊
Such an interesting enigma of a man.
😅🎤🎼🎵🎶😍💕✌two days 🎉🎊🇺🇸🇬🇧💝🌹💐🎸Happy Birthday Robert your awesome !!!
I could just imagine Robert Plant living in a castle in Wales.
Not a castle, but a house. I think he has (or had) a house in Wales, Staffordshire is very close to the Welsh border and I know Robert loves Wales. Possibly his dad is at least part Welsh, which would account for Robert's stunningly beautiful face.
@@mfjdv2020Actually he looks more like his Romani mother, except for the blonde hair.
His vocabulary is so poetic: erudite, highfalutin, melange, etc.
Say, where did ya get highfalutin' from? Would ya be from ' merica?
@@carywest9256 just echoing the words he used
Te amooo Robert 😍😘
Sound Opinions thank you for posting this chat with Robert Plant who is a very likeable person. Can you tell me in what year this interview took place?
Caption states 2014
He talks in poetic terms.
Because he’s not trying to sell - he’s sharing- wholesome
I love Meticulous - intentional Jimmy Page chords- All clear and fully given breath despite complexity of the music-
