Transiens: 1997

Our tastes and preferences change over the course of our lives. The things we read, watch or listen to now, will not always remain the same for the rest of our days. This we know. Yet obsession occurs when we try to cling on to the memory of something wonderful that we have experienced. Subconsciously, we know that the feelings from these memories do not last. Nevertheless, we relentlessly seek ways to preserve these feelings:- through writing, collecting and archiving. (Ok ok, cut the BS and essentially this is just a collection of links to stuff that I’ve been collecting that are not necessarily written by me. ON TO THE ENTRIES!)

Page Delves into Led Zeppelin's Rich Past, Guitar World Online, 1997

In this historic multi-part interview, Jimmy Page delves into Led Zeppelin’s rich past-album by album.

By Brad Tolinski with Greg DiBenedetto

“Okay, I’m ready,” says Jimmy Page, clapping his hands together with a loud smack. “What are we going to talk about this time? Zeppelin? Again? Oh, gawd, didn’t we already do this?” he whines, rolling his black eyes skyward. “I’m getting a severe case of déjà vu. Well, all right. Get out your surgeon’s masks and thumb screws. I’m ready for dissection.”

In the past, a little of Pagey’s sarcasm would have sent the most hardened music journalist scurrying over the hills and far away. But it is clear from his mock outrage that the god of guitar thunder is not really throwing lightning bolts-he is merely teasing. Despite his protest, one gets the feeling that there is nothing in the world that he would rather discuss than his groundbreaking work with rock’s most mythic outfit, Led Zeppelin.
