Led Zeppelin 2007 - Jimmy Page Interview (BBC)

Jimmy Page chats to Fiona Bruce about the upcoming reunion concert in London.

[@Mrpandamanism]

Best guitarist to ever live, and will always be the true god of rock......live on Mr Page.....no one will ever be better.

[@dortega12]

You don’t know a lot of music if you say something like that.

[@donovan942]

@@dortega12let me guess, Hendrix or Clapton

[@SonicArchives]

Allan Holdswoth Lenny Breau

[@averagesaxon2349]

Nothing is nor will ever be better than Jimmy and mighty Led Zeppelin

[@valveman12]

A soft spoken man yet a dynamo with a guitar.

[@paulahevia3855]

His smile when his was asked about the Zeppelin experience...was so absolutely sincere and beautiful. It's means far more than any of the words he used to describe it.

[@barbaramax369]

All I can say is the way Jimmy talks it always grabs my attention!! So eloquently spoken.

[@YourLastLullabyx]

His voice. . . HIS VOICE ♥

[@DrDeath26]

He IS!!! I have had the immense privilege of meeting Jimmy five times - beginning in 1988 on his solo tour for Outrider - and each time he's been humble, polite, sincere, sweet and instead of feeling like you're meeting one of the GODS of rock - he comes across as if you're meeting an old friend. He's a very genuine and wonderful guy!

[@charlenepickett5444]

Omg like really?? I would be completely overwhelmed, speechless a d nervous as hell to meet my guitar hero! You are solo lucky!

[@robertacolarette1594]

That’s so nice to hear. I feel like everyone else that he’s a phenomenal guitarist. The best there ever was. He’s passionate about the music. It consumes him. The guitar becomes part of him when he’s playing. That’s one of the reasons he’s so great.

[@LiamXaoh]

Just watched the concert (got it for Chrissie present) with the sound cranked right up. They all looked like they were so glad to be together. They performed with great enthusiasm - they certainly didn't look or sound like they were just going through the motions. Some of the camera shots of the young faces in the audience were just priceless. Keep it up Jimmy!!!

[@janiakowska]

the greatest of all...his music is stratospheric

[@JCsAngel]

Jimmy looked so great here in his black dress shirt and hair down.

[@SIXSTRING63]

Never will be a genius such as Jimmy Page. I'm sorry I never got to see Zep live. I wish I would have caught his tour with The Black Crowes back in 2000. Never even heard about it when it was going till after the fact. Rock on James Patrick Page.

[@sohrabmarzi]

NO ONE WILL EVER BE AS COOL AS JIMMY PAGE! ......EVER!

[@dinomite161]

Can't believe he's almost 70! He looks great, though. And he can still play like no one else

[@angelaturner4882]

Such an amazing man .........x

[@S4vingErin]

Jimmy has the best smile in the world

[@ranaitani8453]

أكيد

[@moodyblue77]

met jimmy this weekend at the rock hall inductions, what a gentle, sweet man he is. a total doll

[@n1c4m1]

He really seems like a lovely guy.

[@davidblue819]

It's nice to see this with a retrospective attitude, knowing that the attitude he was showing was going to culminate in smashing success on stage.

[@florvillaseca]

Lovely Jimmy ♥♥

[@TheA13000]

In the interviews page has always been a gentleman...

[@HelloKittyPink0517]

SO SO COOL! AND SO SO GOOD LOOKING!!

[@DaveSstation]

It is not the first time Jimmy Page has broke a finger before a gig. This man's work saves my life .

[@streetparade]

Such a charming man. That smile could melt a glacier and so can all those guitar riffs.

[@jupiterrocks24]

It's funny how every time she mentions Robert Plant not wanting to get together, he steers the question in a different direction. Nice save

[@jmrbug96]

If I met Jimmy Page, I would be so speechless! Afterwards, I will faint and get mad at myself for fainting because I would miss meeting him! Jimmy Page you are my FAVORITE guitarist! NOBODY can play like you! Yeah sure we have the worlds fastest guitarist, but you are better because your songs are so hard and are written with such soul and passion! We need more music like yours in this world!

[@HelloKittyPink0517]

Paige is a very charming man!

[@janiakowska]

musical genius and a legendary guitarist who put his soul into music...the greatest of all

[@rkrzbk]

Gosh, Madison Square Garden and Earls Court were both just awesome. Rock n Roll, The Ocean, Black Dog, Going to California, Celebration Day.....the perfect live performances by led zeppelin

[@musicmann1967]

I love how Pagey doesn't answer some of the questions dead on, and spins his own version of an answer. Very clever and very "on message" as they say in politics. He's so charming and pleasant that you hardly notice. I wish there were at least 30 minutes more of this interview! I love this guy. Cannot wait for the O2 concert to be released on dvd!!!

[@barbaramax369]

His magical ideas set intlo music were and are just so extraordinary and so enchanting Just the very best!!!

[@smith9808]

you can tell in this interview he was so excited to get back with zeppelin. i feel sorry for him that there wouldnt be any other shows after. the time to have done would have been then. i think its too late now :/

[@propjoe1060]

If it was ever going to happen it would've happened in 2008. Much too late now, unfortunately. Plant is the only one under 70. It's best to leave it where it is, sadly.

[@thedrummkit12]

how can someone dislike this guy he is the best guitarist EVER!!

[@yardbirdmackay]

I have been very lucky to have spoken to Jimmy on a couple of occasions,and he really is a pleasant softly spoken gent.I think this all comes across in this interview.Keep rockin' Jimmy.

[@chandramaofficial]

He is lovely, and his art is timelessly wonderful.

[@Jaap95]

he is such a happy person!

[@fionabledzep]

he is so sweet,he smiles the whole time,oh that smile is killer.When he was young was gorgeous!

[@GetUpTheMountains]

This guy is fucking awesome. I would love to meet him, and just shake those hands. A living legend.

[@MrBigHunt]

To put it simply; I love this man

[@johnnyM809]

The greatest rock guitarist there has ever been, along with the greatest rock band there has ever been. I have always wanted to meet Jimmy page and absolute genius if ever there was one. Would love to have seen Zeppelin at their peak.

[@dudleycunningham]

So impressed with this guy. I watched Robert Plant's tribute to him, and I realize they are gentlemen first, rock stars second: amazingly humble, considering all they have done for music and, well, the human spirit...

[@amccann7]

This Man is Pure Class :)

[@zangolli1963]

watching this video, it's hard to believe that he was a hard drinking hard partying rocker age really mellows

[@Herschkobibl]

Wow, he is such a well spoken and polite man. You would never believe someone with such presence on stage would be so quite and soft spoken. He is most certainly one of my favorite musicians of all time.

[@psyrmc]

the way he smiles just like an innocent child........love this guy!

[@mizzpink98z24cavi]

his personality is so amazing it just makes you fall in love with him.

[@vitatonks]

i wish i could see him in concert.. i really wanted :( he looks so nice, in all pictures and all the videos i've seen form led zep he always looks so handsome.. I love this man, he's a lovely person and i don't care the age, he still the same. Anyway, i'm glad to know that a person like this exist. No one can replace him, with his 65 years he is the best

[@Cryonne]

I was born 1986, but I remember being actually inspired by Led Zep's sound when I first saw them in 2005 or so by a video that someone kept in my house. Strangely enough, but they are one of my recollections of my teenage life. It's quite cheering to know that they are still rockin' the world. A fine interview of the legend.

[@cosmicheather]

he's so adorable omg i love him so much he has aged so well aw :3

[@ThrashRoC]

for me , this generation of musicians , Jimmy page , hendrix etc ) where the coolest musicians ever , and jimmy page is one of theyr musically leaders if i hear his sounds i get real crazy and i couldn`t live without this music led zeppelin for ever

[@jorbv8]

a world tour would be stellar...they could charge any price they like & the fans would buy a ticket. 20 million fans wanted to go to this gig & something like 18 thousand tickets were sold. c'mon robert plant, sort it out with jimmy. there are millions of fans who want to see you

[@inesfigueroa25]

He is so adorable!! I love how he says his finger "it's coming baaack!"

[@DarryAZ56]

Led Zeppelin, truly the greatest rock band ever, of all time.

[@narutorockerfreak213]

Its sad what music has become. what a true visionary. led zeppelin music was ahead of its time.

[@zappanas]

Thanx Jimmy for your art, I saw you playing in 1992 and you made me cry. Health, love and peace.

[@Angelina1966504]

my thoughts exactly.He is still attractive but he was so beautiful in the 1970's that it breaks my heart to look at him. someone really does need to invent a time machine.

[@strings191]

That's you're fabulous lespaul that inspired all of us today and yesterday. This is why we have all these bands today

[@themusicgamer14]

I simply love his guitars, standing in the background the whole interview

[@ianhunterfan]

so in love with this man!!!!!

[@MrKarpote]

He's a gentleman. Very polite.

[@caillinkelly2952]

He is just a brilliant beautiful man!!

[@starmoon1956]

I was lucky and got to se Led Zeppelin in Albuquerque, New Mexico, (of all places), in May of 1971, This was very early in their touring career. But, even by then they already were a well seasoned band. (This was just after their 5th album, "Houses Of The Holy") That is the one thing that always impressed me about Jimmy Page. Their are few people that can not only play, and produce. He had his problems with the things that come with fame, but through it all, he always seems to be a gentleman.

[@50kippercat]

The true Boss

[@tamcon72]

Ah, how I love him! I could listen to him for hours : )

[@Subzeppelin1]

that broken finger has done more than most people have done with their entire lives

[@JuliBom]

@ElektraAsylum he still has that young adorable voice! This legend will never get old :)

[@DocKenny]

**SIGH** I am 51 years old, and I am waiting, and will continue to wait for a Led Zeppelin tour.

[@LostInTransition13]

It doesn't matter who was better, they are both great's in their own respect.

[@9009bhill]

aw. hes so old and cute haha

[@MrPolishedTurd]

he reminds me of my grandpa and it's so weird to read comments of people saying he's sexy :')

[@9009bhill]

well..then maybe your grandpa gets play just like jimmy lol 'XD

[@coobird1ify]

KlewieLewie ..for his age group,,,he is good looking, ,,and yes sexy too.. He has a sparkle in his,eyes,,can still play a mean guitar,,,,sexy? Absolutely. ! Also he is intelligent,,gentlmanly,,well spoken,,,and always smiling. Who in his age group wouldn't think he is sexy.

[@patriziarossi9396]

My Love

[@xThinkofaUsernameX]

If I could meet anybody in the world I would pick him :) It's lovely to know that such a cool, iconic, rock star is also a total sweet heart :D

[@BillLarkinmusic]

Love you and your guitar, Mr. Page.

[@cyninbend]

Rock isn't about precision. We have music schools for that. It's about the experience...living it together, being transported to another experience shared only by the others present. It's one experience to hear a recording, another to share it with a friend, and another to share the experience in a small club, yet another in a larger venue, another in a huge arena. Same song. So precision can't be that important. It's the feel, the interplay of the band with each other, the audience..emotions...

[@katford7286]

Such a darling man...age has only made him better.

[@plantationful]

Jimmy Page is the most gifted person I have ever seen in any field.

[@frustratednoname]

and what an opportunity at that. Led Zeppelin forever. In my world.

[@MofazzalHossainRizu]

JIMMY PAGE IS THE BEST...HE IS MY HERO OF ALL TIME...MAY LONG LIVE SIR....FROM BANGLADESH.....

[@Equinoxxa]

64 years old... and he's still got it.

[@Carismystic]

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Jimmy, wishing you bright blessings.

[@reelTruth112]

for 10 min. 24 seconds, all i saw was the '59 sunburst in the background...thank you jimmy, for everything!!!

[@pleased9]

1973 Kezar Stadium, San Francisco. Houses of the Holy tour. Jimmy played his guitar - plucking out scales by snapping a handkerchief, then used a violin bow. Amazing! At the end they released dozens of caged white doves which flew in in formation amongst the thousands of people. Long live LZ.

[@sparkymachine]

simply wonderful to see and hear a living legend

[@sergio00251]

Bless

[@kurtcobainsk8dudu]

Jimmy is such a nice guy,one of the best maybe THE BEST guitaristin the world.That is why HE is my HERO!!

[@mrskinneys1234]

i REALLEY hope they do just 1 more reunion, just 1 in my lifetime. in 2007/8 i was 10. and didnt know about led zeppelin. pleas led, just 1 more

[@ledzepistheshit]

this is really cool, because of after all my worshipping of the epic jimmy page, this is the first time ive ever heard him speak. hes always been a mute yet powerful embodiment to me but now i see hes got a great charismatic voice to match his charismatic guitar skills

[@usblueflyer]

LOVE THIS MAN!! SUCH A TALENT!!!

[@Gitarrensaite]

i'm glad to see their performance

[@gialla111]

I can'y believe this was in 2007, it seems just like yesterday that I wanted those tickets more than anything in the world.

[@captainmurphy52]

He holds a guitar so much his hand motions while talking appear as an air guitar......fantastic!!!!!!!

[@Pedrosaysso]

He had a bong on his hand and didn't want to break it.

[@Hairy1337]

He seems like such a nice guy. I could easily imagine him being about to talk muggers out of mugging him with his niceness.

[@moscy11]

what aa gorgeous human being..

[@jeewoo7195]

Never have I been so interested to hear man talk about his pinky.

[@csnymoodiesfan]

Just saw the Jason Bonham Experience perform 3 nights ago and it was the second best thing to seeing the real Led Zep. I never saw them in the '70's and so regret it. If you have a chance, see the Jason Bonham band and at least get a taste of what it must have been like. Just amazing! Both the singer and Toni, the guitarist, sounded just like the real thing. And thank you Jason for your touching tribute to your dad. Rock on...drum on....!

[@cman211000]

You are absolutely correct

[@wsiklogfh]

one of the guitar gods, in person,all my respect, not to mention he seems like a cool dude, and a really nice person.

[@mybadtexas]

I saw a Plant/Page show in the 90's. NO other band has even come close to the POWER that comes off the stage when they play. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN!

[@oldGnRrocks1]

"i have my mind totaly blank...the beast of my performance will come out" totally agree

[@Alnwick07]

Same Here wow, he still rocks hard in my books

[@ozzy2k11]

he seems like a really cool guy
