John Paul Jones: “People in bands these days always listen to the same music. They all start a band because they all like U2 or they all like Pearl Jam. Consequently, their field of reference is very narrow. Our field of reference was huge; Page and I were very hard-working session musicians, and when you walk into a session it can be absolutely anything. It was just a huge range of influences, you could go here or there or this way of that.” “I loved having women at our concerts because they’d dance. [laughing] It’s great because the guys just stand there with their arms folded and the girls are dancing.”

Great band, but not many stories inside that give great insight, or comments worth underlining and remembering. If you transcribed a Led Zeppelin song for two hours instead reading this, you might come out ahead. I read every interview with JPJ or JP I see just in case there’s something important inside I can learn from, however these interviews are not music-based, these interviews are more fan-based. There’s only one article in this book that gets into musical stuff like altered tunings used, or using a Fender Tonemaster as the amp head on a certain track.

I really enjoyed the candid interviews from a multitude of people who worked with or knew the band.

Not bad, over 400 pages, but just a collection of already published magazine and radio interviews.

A good one for Led Zeppelin fans (and how can you not be one?!)
