Rare!! Page and Plant Interview - TFI Friday 1998

[ironman5454]

Rumor has it that 'Whole Lotta Love' was initially titled "Me Luv You Long Time".

Dunno if its true or not ....

[PinguTheG]

this is amazing footage, should have more views!!

[TheLonesomeChef]

Credit to Robert and Jimmy. They acted really cool despite the terrible and at times rude questions. Free advice for the interviewer. Don't call your guests "old". Not even once much less several times.

[miss19lolo]

@TheLonesomeChef Yeah, that's right.

[SonnyJmSonnyJm]

CARNT BELIEVE IT! CARNT BELIEVE IT!

[QymLym]

[miss19lolo]

Did anybody see kid Barack Obama behind Plant at 2:29?

[ThrashRoC]

[ThrashRoC]

Legends ,and just Great guys !!!

[Crust218]

Very interesting. They did release their spectacular double DVD live collection in 2003, and I played both discs so much that I had to buy another copy!

[EvaRoxx9]

Look Robert Plant at 3:47.He's funny!

[portelaification]

Jimmy Page looks like Jackie Chan.

[Wrogonastawiony]

@portelaification No, no, no!

Jackie Chan looks like Jimmy Page!

[sysrq120]

Terrible questions.

[Luukeeeehh]

"robert page" ( around 5:40

[yamyamyummy]

JOSH HE,S VICE PRESIDENT

[MrsAlllllli]

I Love Jimmy and Robert so much they r my heros!

[1stSaintsFan]

lifer Led Zep Fan....great!!!

[JoshRobertson142]

didn't know he was a wolves fan haha

[SummerCircus91]

steve is a lucky cunt

[sa65cn1]

Jimmy is just so cool , so awsome a musician and even at his age today, 67, he is still a hottie.

[tashpish]

awesome!

[TheMicturation]

@viperlegendkiller....grow a brain u tit....lol

[mrtelechi]

I love this interview, but most of all, they are amazing, proper legends, they are just as entertaining in an interview as they are on stage...keep it up, thanks for posting this.

[Ashienoelle]

Haha Jimmy got old and magically turned asian.

Even if he is 1/8, he didn't look asian when he was younger. He gets old and Poof! He looks half or even full asian...

[MysterioFan02]

lucky bold dude.. damn it, I effin' love these guys!

[TheMicturation]

liked it..RP is very down to earth here....tho the comment regarding the getting back together to write songs like Ïn my time of dying'is a bit rich cos that song was stolen off a Bob Dylan record.

[dazerbrah]

@TheMicturation

which he got from blind willie johnson

[TheMicturation]

@dazerbrah ..yes u r correct..i dont know about you but something bugs me about these guys not owning up and declaring they borrowed some of they're so called classic songs...it's wrong...i mean plaigarism is a criminal offence...no wonder they avoided the media so much..obviously they werent as mysterious as they wanted everybody to believe..they didnt want to be found out is more like it....i mean dont get me wrong,they do hav talent but fuck n hell...ripping of others material is blasphomous

[markraishbrook]

@TheMicturation You're either completely mad or have no idea what Led Zeppelin were all about. Or both.

[TheMicturation]

@markraishbrook i know when somethings been ripped off....suck it up cos its fact...the song is ..In my time of dying..which appeared on Bob Dylan in 1962...which he borrowed from Blind Willie Jhonson...word for word and they claim on the credits that they wrote it...a criminal offence if you dont mind ok...Jimmy Page has been quoted in the past that Robert was too lazy to change lyrics...its plagiarism...didnt u go to University??...u must state references from where youve borrowed...thats law.

[markraishbrook]

@TheMicturation In My Time of Dying is a traditional gospel song. It wasn't written by Dylan.

[viperlegendkiller]

@TheMicturation fuck bob dylan and fuck wikipedia, get a clue you moron

[HugoJanKanAl]

@TheMicturation Apart from the fact that you don't know the real origins of the song... Lyrics???

Who cares about the lyrics when you got Jimmy Page playing awesome overdriven huge-sounding slide guitar. You think he ripped off the solo too?

I bet he stole it! note for note! Lol

It's eons of pure Jimmy Page awesomeness condensed into just 11 minutes of human time. It's like a supermassive black hole of awesome.

[TheMicturation]

@markraishbrook ..imagine the outcry had Guns n Roses claimed to have wrote..Knockin on Heavens Door & Live and let die..NO,..cos they werent that conceited....it is what it is...in a simple form so i can help u understand it more easily cos u seem to have a pea for a brain...its called THEIVING...thats y they continue to go to court and lose you dope.

[markraishbrook]

@TheMicturation With all due respect, Micto, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[markraishbrook]

@TheMicturation And exactly which Bob Dylan song would that be?

[markraishbrook]

@TheMicturation (Groan) No, it wasn't. IMTOD is a traditional song. The copyright (if it ever had one) ran out 60 years ago. Let's see who's covered it in the last 50 years, shall we? Blind Willie Johnson, Bob Dylan, John Sebastian, Led Zep, Lydia Lunch, Pride and Glory, Fear Itself, John Mellencamp, Big Sugar, Martin L. Gore, Zepparella, Charming Hostess.

[Angie9292]

and by football they mean soccer.

[JoshRobertson142]

@Angie9292

yes there talking about real football

[afz3003]

@Angie9292 and by football they mean FOOTBALL!!!> they are British my yanky friend.

[afz3003]

@Angie9292 Roberts from Birmingham for fucks sake!><! lol

[DoMinC246]

6:01, Pages face when the guy says "the beers are on me?" he could buy the place if he wanted

[GintokisGirl95]

ROBERT PAGE TAAHAHA

[Chiodos9408]

OLD MWEN DO IT BETTER

[LivingIn1969]

the fan was a little annoying

[2000happydays]

Very cool guys. Except the hair maybe.

[joydivision808]

not rare 

[413Kristianna]

-and which is the best?

-football, and the only thing i can't do!

xD

[HughHoyland1]

Does this bring back very pleasant memories! I was lucky enough to see these two musical giants in Tampa 1998. What a magical night, it must have been very similar to what a Zepp fan would have heard back in 75 or 77. How things have changed though, Plant is obsessed with this BOJ project (sorry aint into it myself) and Jimmy has been MIA for the past few years. Some may not want to hear it, but magic happens when these two guys team up, and its notably absent when there off doing other stuff.

[gibbsies]

rofl wtf is that guy wearing on his head

[klawson211]

lol older rockers. jimmys all watch yourself

[rm2551]

That guy who phoned in and got to interview them is THE luckiest punter alive. Something he will no doubt count as one of the greatest moments of his life.

Good on him.

[Conan568]

Great Guy's.

Never met them in person, but saw them play quite a bit.

[rheald425]

zepper72- definitely agree that people act the fool without having much of anything to back it up...but it has nothing to do with being american. there are far too few of us smart people to get caught up on simple national differences- we all have to stick together.

[zepper72]

@rheald425 not all American celebrities are snobs, some like Paul Simon are pretty cool and song for song can compete with the best of them. I just see too many who have no talent but they think they do. Hollywood is filled with them. And yes that is very American because as a country we've been conditioned to think we're the best at everything.

[TheInsanityHero]

BAHHAAHAHAHA ROBERT PAGE

OMG I'M DYING.

[zax8]

best band there's ever been

[chris6zep]

WHAT DO THEY SAY WHEN THEY SEE ROBERT GOING TO THE MATCH!?!

[sootyward]

Robert Plant - legend & a Wolves fan!!!!!!!!

[JettWorship65]

6 people are out of their fuckin minds!

[TheReilly8]

jimmy has always looked like some kind of asian buda

[adamszoo]

@TheReilly8 Jimmy is part Chinese in his ancestry.

[adamszoo]

@TheReilly8 Jimmy is part Chinese.

[LedHeadTillDeath]

Laughed out loud at 1.47 =D

[seanlovesrocky]

[yzetta]

OMG that was so much fun to listen to and watch!

[Grungeman23]

i agree i love led zeppelin i was reffering to the whole usa vs british thing.

[Grungeman23]

americans kick ass, at least we did theres.

[BaddaBigBoom]

When I first met them Jimmy Page's opening gambit was "You didn't expect us to be such a pair of fat old c**ts did you!"

[kiahecoleman]

I LUV Jimmy! <3 he's so sensitive and nice and cute and talented and cute and SEXY!!!!!!! <3 <3 luv luv!

[YoungBlood0893]

i wish there were more bands that incorporated blues and rock like zeppelin BEST BAND EVER

[LedHeadTillDeath]

'When I go to sleep' Haha this interview is PRICELESS!

[CAPTINBARNEY]

What has that guy got on his head???

he looks like a right douche!! :L

[luvexrozes]

"Is that you?" Yes, that's me. "Come here, let's have a look."

That is so sweet :)

[ShotGunAnd]

Lol when Jimmy came i thought "Who is that chinese guy?"

[nowinterweather]

@ShotGunAnd he is part asian...

[fiomily225]

@ShotGunAnd Ha ha, I know right? Jimmy rocks though. Led Zeppelin forever!! <3

[johndeere73811]

@ShotGunAnd he kinda looked like the asian off the hangover at first glance

[SAOTUBE]

that guy sucks at interviewing

[CCSofChocolatesvill]

The Guy from Manchester Has creamed his knickers.

[buckstoneboy]

jimmy is chinged here..hands all over the place, nose scratching, nose rubbing, lip rubbing

[TheSWEETZENITH]

I disliked cuz Chris evans is suck a dick but i love zep

[Rawego]

[JohnnyMarston]

Thank you so much for posting! I

[mexyze]

5:49 ROBERT PAGE....fantastic!

[JVoH4god]

they're fantastic in the interview, so relaxed and friendly, although the host is really annoying. you just gotta LOVE them

[tomasgreenhalgh]

wolves fan = Dingle

[error98123]

what gig are they talkin about

[tomasgreenhalgh]

Robert plant Born in west brom and is a dingle....jimmy is god

[NoLifeGamer17]

@tomasgreenhalgh a dingle?

[Cure3]

Glad they followed through with his question by releasing How the West Was Won.

[finalnexus]

I hate these interviews... thus stupid commercial laughter really is tiresome.... why does media have to be so debasing????

[daveftd1983]

do you know anything first hand about about British media, as soon as i read your comment i could tell you weren't british.

[2ManyMe]

my frickin' heroes.

[NoLifeGamer17]

@2ManyMe Is it wrong for me to dress like young RP sometimes at school?

[2ManyMe]

@NoLifeGamer17 hahah hell no!

i'll go as young john paul jones to school next week xD

[NoLifeGamer17]

@2ManyMe DO IT!!! I don't even know you and you're already cool! Please do it! :D

[300daysandnights]

page is a guitar god.

[robertplant18]

omg i would die to b there.

[OzoneReviews]

1998: Maybe releasing material

5 years later: Led Zeppelin DVD

2007: Maybe releasing O2 stuff

2013: ???

[steveisdrummy]

i love how they're like...nice lol i can imagine them over for christmas just having a chat, then i rmember "fuck...they're actual legends!!"

[AlexFruen]

Led friggin' zeppelin. Schweet.

[zepper72]

What a cool interview and very down to earth. Too many American celebrities act like prima donnas even though they haven't a fraction of the talent as these two.

[steveb391]

Spot on comment, these two gentlemen are very humble.

[downlisefu]

preach

[300daysandnights]

hey bro we got dave grohl. he's one of the nicest guys youll meet.

[zepper72]

We've also got a thousand Sean Penns. They're not only talentless they're embarrassing.

[CzechShooter]

@zepper72 Exactly! Good point...

[ddamico3]

@zepper72 the talent to steal american music, repackage it, and sell it to dupes? that talent? fuckin' cross dressers. lol.

[zepper72]

@ddamico3 Page can still play the guitar like there's no tomorrow. Almost as good as Eric Clapton, who made a living doing covers of songs that sounded better than the originals.

[embryofunk]

@zepper72 I wouldn't say just American celebrities, and trust me the musicians in America who actually have talent are just as down to earth, type in 'Black Keys Interview' and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[bughead3]

@zepper72 As an American, I completly agree. Long live Zep.

[robdorg]

Fucking legends.

[KINGofALLtheMERCIANS]

Plant with his Wolves scarf. Love it.

[sjelos]

what did jimmy say after robert said "in my room or his?" ??

[Crazyboutguitars]

"well there's no smoke without fire is there Chris?"

[adamszoo]

@Crazyboutguitars ah, thanks for translating the accent for me :)

[sjelos]

@fable0709: why wouldn't they be special? is there an unwritten rule that explains the difference between a pretentious teenager and an honest fan?

I understand what you're saying, I even agree with you on some level, but what gives you the right, really? you did the exactly same thing with this comment on yours. you advertised your opinon.

[DrivenBlack]

Jimmy looks like an extra from rush hour..

[44eelz]

@DrivenBlack ...well he is part chinese

[monosound81]

is he actually?

[44eelz]

@monosound81 ... thats what WIkipedia says

[JonnyMod]

Hilarious comment

[MamasBoy930]

@fable0709 Screw you... i bet you r one of them kids who likes hannah montana (hannah monfaget)

[rdrd1092]

they are the best

[MrsTokiWartooth]

@fable0709 it's not- I was going to say something but I forgot because I'm looking at Steve Vai's triple-necked guitar in my recommended section. Wow.

[li4m]

Chill out, dude

[nasha500]

wow they seem so down to earth 4 massive rock stars...i always find it funny wen i see robert at the moleniux (wolves ground) nd he jst sits with the rest of the fans...gd times :p

[adamszoo]

@nasha500 Cameron Crowe said Robert used to hit suburban US McDonalds' in the 70's and freak out the cashiers, order a Big Mac & fries & hang out w/people who wanted to hear band stories. LOL

[fiomily225]

@adamszoo LOL!! I wish I could have lived in the 70s.  Maybe with the help of some very intelligent people, we can build a time machine and go there! Rock on

[ToriTheEnigma]

Um... I don't think I'm 'special' or whatever, I'm just saying I wish was born earlier. Nothing wrong with that, yeah? :)

Plus, I'm a she :D

[ToriTheEnigma]

I'm SO jealous of that guy! I wish I could meet them, I wish I could SEE them live. But I'm 13 so I haven't much chance! Hahaha! :|

[hendrix4564]

Jimmy page looks like Jackie Chan!

[MrsTokiWartooth]

@hendrix4546 LOL

[RobDZeppelin]

Short haired Jimmy in 1973 BADASS!

[kingkonglindemans]

Love Page and Plant but forgot how sycophantic Chris Evans was.

[VitaminDofExecutus]

WHAT THE FUCK? My word, age has kicked them in the face. Agreed, Page looks like Jackie Chan.. the fack? =P ... Rob looks so old =(

[ronpaul2008rocks]

It's a safe bet you won't say something like that when YOU'RE 65.

[VitaminDofExecutus]

Oh really? See you in 40 years mate =D Watcha want to wager?

[ronpaul2008rocks]

You name it.  but I might not be around iin 40 years. I'm already 45. LOL!

[ironman5454]

@ronpaul2008rocks Its from hanging out in the desert - the sun is a bitch ....

[Heroeshere]

Just be grateful their both still alive, especially page. He had a passion for hard drugs.

[nintendoor1]

crap,now that i look at him,he kinda does,thats funny

[jimmydicks]

26,000 websites! shows how old the clip is. More like 15million now.

I think that superfan did well...obviously nervous, but I probably would have been a wreck!

[bigun1999999]

chris evans is such a penis

[pinklover1691]

is it me, or does jimmy look asian there...??

[robimiglio]

his grandmother was chinese :)

[richymoore]

He's always looked like an older Jackie Chan to me

[Datselguf2]

Haha, he kinda look like Chan

[bronyr]

This was marvelous to watch, thanks for posting. It's so nice to see them - especially Page, who is never comfortable with interviews - so chilled out. And I love how engaged they are with Steve!

[BluesGeek]

Pagey looks part korean...does that make me a freakin racist too? lol

[Sadyrak]

what were they recrording?

[tadhooper32]

Jimmy Page looks like an extra from Rush Hour.

[DrivenBlack]

omg hahahahaha shit dude!!!!!

[Wyocaster]

i cant stand jimmy page's short hair, why does he do that! he looks asian without his long hair.

[ycformosa]

what's wrong that jimmy looks asian? you fucking racist!

[Wyocaster]

im not racist (even if i was am i supposed to be insulted by your comment? "oh no someone called me a racist, im gonna go cry because im such a horrible person)

and the thing wrong with it is that jimmy's NOT asian. (news flash?) it was just a simple obvservation, i was at my computer i was like "omg jimmy looks asian with that haircut" how is that racist, i must ask.

then if we expand this then by your opinion im sexist if i say that someone looks like a girl?

[caboosehatesbabies]

technically you were racist but not negatively.

[neilzep]

he is 1/8th chinese,ignorant fuck

[donsuccone]

well.... he looks 8 times that! with that haircut!

[neilzep]

lol

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

fa sho.

[DreadedEd]

definetly thier most joyous interview

[bonfirejovi]
