“John Bonham would always tell Zeppelin: ‘I’m leaving the band. I can’t go back to America again. I can’t do that.’ So, Peter Grant (Led Zeppelin’s manager) used to go, ‘Hey, come to the garage, I want to show you something.’ He’d go, ‘What?’ They’d go to his garage and there’s a new Lamborghini, just what Bonzo wanted.

And that’s how he kept coming. But there were a couple of moments there where he ended up crying because he wanted to go home. He didn’t want to be in America, missed his wife, didn’t want to be in a big band. He wanted to be in a small band in Birmingham, just playing. He didn’t care about all that fame.”

— Ritchie Blackmore

"What was once rock ’n’ roll and very disposable is now art. My vision, for better or worse, has been pure music.”

You walk past a cafe but you don’t eat when you’ve lived too long Oh, no, no, no, you’re a rock ‘n’ roll suicide

This performance of Rock n’ Roll Suicide is (if you can forgive the quality of the recording) one of the most affecting I’ve seen.

“Life could be a dream sh-boom! That’s what happened to me. When I used to open the show for people, you know, stars in the early and mid-60s, I used to go, “Wow, this is so exotic. It’s just amazing.” When those big old stage lights came on in the proscenium arch theater, my whole heart leapt. I couldn’t wait to get to the next place to see somebody else do the same thing. And so I didn’t study anything, except for trying to be as good as Terry Reid, or Steve Marriott, or Steve Winwood, or so many people who are extraordinary singers.”

Anita Pallenberg & Keith Richards in 1967 by Rex Features

“I was fascinated by her from what I thought was a safe distant. I thought certainly that Brian had got very lucky. I could never figure out how he got his hands on her. My first impression was of a woman who was very strong. I was right about that. Also an extremely bright woman, that’s one of the reasons she sparked me. Let alone that she was so entertaining and such a great beauty to look at. Very funny. Cosmopolitan beyond anyone I’d come across. She spoke three languages. She’d been here, she’d been there. It was very exotic, to me. I loved her spirit, even though she would instigate and turn the screw and manipulate. She wouldn’t let you off the hook for a minute. If I said, ‘That’s nice…’ she would say ‘Nice? I hate that word. Oh, stop being so fucking bourgeois.’ (…) Anita, sexy fucking bitch. One of the prime women in the world.” - Extract from Keith Richards autobiography Life, (2010)
