After finally reuniting with Led Zeppelin at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after being snubbed for Unledded (1994) (TV): "I`m glad my friends finally remembered my phone number."
John Paul Jones
The studio said Bottle Rocket (1996) was their worst-testing movie in history, so I looked into the marines. Maybe I was influenced by An Officer and a Gentleman (1982). Or those marine commercials - they were so cool! Like a Led Zeppelin song come to lif...
Owen Wilson
I`m the world`s biggest Led Zeppelin fan. The music, the way they conducted themselves, their whole management structure - they were the blueprint. Queen always used to play The Immigrant Song in sound-checks just for the glory of the sound.
Brian May
[On Hell`s Angels (1930)] "When I was making a personal appearance, I`d always sneak in the back of the house to watch the zeppelin airplane attack. I never failed to get a tremendous thrill out of it. I probably saw that scene hundreds of times."
Jean Harlow
You`re always frustrated, you don`t have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.
Bill Wyman
With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I`d play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It`s a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.
John Bonham
We`re trying to have the band create something beautiful that hopefully one day, 20 years from now, can be picked up by a kid and hopefully have the same effect that Neil Young had on me, or Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.
Ville Valo
Metallica is going to be one of those bands you look back on in the year 2008, that people will still listen to the way I still listen to Zeppelin and Sabbath albums.
Jason Newsted
I took a private lesson, but it didn`t really work out, so I went back to playing along with records. That`s really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
Chad Smith
I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn`t want to go on!
