- Robert Plant came down the Roxy surrounded by Millions of
bodyguards. I just looked at him, and heīs like a real ignorant
old Northener, and I fekt really sorry for him. Now how can you
respect someone like that.
- Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) 1977

- Those accusations that were levelled at Zeppelin at the end,
during punk, those accusations of remoteness, of playing blind, of
having no idea about people or circumstances or reality - there
was a lot of substance in what being said. It hurt at the time,
but Iīd have to plead guilty
- Robert Plant Q magazine 1988

- Led Zeppelin? I donīt need to hear the music - all I have to do
is look at one of their album covers and I feel like throwing up

- We were in the Midwest and I said something to the hotel clerk
about the fact that it must be tough to have all the rock groups
in there throwing furniture and TVīs out the windows, and he said
that they had something worse once... and that was the young
methodists convention
- Peter Grant

- Down there theyīve got the richest groupies in the world. Some
of the groupies followed our jet in their own jet
- Jimmy Page on Texas

- Spinal Tap and The Bad New Things, they're classic. They really
sum up the nightmare aspects of it, everyone can relate to it.
Curiously enough thereīs a bit in Spinal Tap where they canīt
find the stage and it was very similar to when we were at Madison
Square Garden...
- Jimmy Page, Q magazine, 1988

- He was a huge Celt in those days! I must admit it didnīt make
much of an impression on Bonzo and I at the time

- You canīt find anything if you play that Song backwards. I
know, because Iīve tried. Thereīs nothing there. We never made a
pact with the Devil. The only deal I think we ever made was with
some of the girls High Shools in San Fernando Valley

on John Bonham |
- Robert suggested I go and check out his friend John
Bonham. When I saw what a trasher Bonzo was, I knew heīd be
incredible... He was into exactly the same sort of stuff as
I was.
- Jimmy Page, Zigzag, 1972
- We alway wanted the drums to sound like real drums, but
that hall made them sound like super cannons.
- Jimmy Page on recording Bonzoīs drums in the
hallway at Headley Grange mansion, Hampshire
- That drummer of yours has a right foot like a pair of
castanets.
- Jimi Hendrix to Robert Plant
- our drummer is amzingly loud
- Jimmy Page, Melody Maker, 1969
- There was a period after he died where I just didnīt
touch a guitar for ages
- Jimmy Page
- I did nothing for as long as was respectful to Bonzo,
really, Because we were best mates. Rather than take take
the whole Zeppelin thing and try and do it myself, I
rejected the whole thing. So I cut my hair off and I never
played or listened to a Zeppelin record for two years
- Robert Plant, 1988
- Sometimes at night, when the moon is high, a mighty
thunder is heard in the hills. Donīt be alarmed, the wise
ones say, itīs only Bonzo, doing a soundcheck in heaven.
- Paul Du Noyer, Q magazine, 1997
