Led Zeppelin Didn't Get That Kind Of Beatles Screaming. We Had A More Sort Of Macho Crowd. But I Remember Once In The Early Days Of The Yardbirds, We Were Playing On An Ice Rink, And The Stage Was Mobbed By Screaming Girls. I Had My Clothes Torn Off Me. That's A Really Uncomfortable Experience, Let Me Tell You.

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.

There's Such A Wealth Of Arts And Styles Within The Guitar... Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Blues... You Name It, It's There. In The Early Days My Dream Was To Fuse All Those Styles. Now Composing Has Become Just As Important.

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.
