mean play bass
Just because you play bass, doesn't mean you have no presence.
zeppelins daylight coffins
No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.
want copies i-can
I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.
giving people isolation
A lot of people can't be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.
albums enthusiasm
I suggested back in 1980 to do a chronological live album, but there wasn't that much enthusiasm for it.
player thinking guitar
The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.
guitar way vehicle
I played guitar all my life, all the way through the Yardbirds, but I knew that for me this was going to be a guitar vehicle, because that's what I wanted it to be.
cds two impossible
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.
together elements able
The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.
band next
The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
frustration makeup technology
I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence, crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age we're in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points he's made seem to manifest themselves all down the line.
mean thinking guitar
From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.
doubt moments drummer
Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was - there's no doubt about it. There's never been anybody since. He's one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
roots firsts albums
Everything that came later... the roots are all there in the first album.
