Robert Plant - Unedited interview with JJ Jackson, MTV 1982

you're better than me I know that but I have to say okay do it up there we go Robert Plant's brand new album solo album pictures at 11 right and 1979 you said it wouldn't ever be a solo album so now here you are and in a way coming kind of come ahead use the word becoming out of semi-retirement in a way by the way you've changed from retirement on that board there to semi retirement no a semi-retired you haven't performed we'll put an album out in some time we haven't had a Zeppelin album on since what it's been through the outdoor and that was in 79 and nothing from you and no word one way or the other but had you always kind of plan to do a solo album ever since say you realize maybe the the demise of Led Zeppelin they'd come about well I think you just take things as they come and initially I was working with the honey drippers playing around the clubs and that was totally satisfying it was no big deal could you explain to the audience with their who the honey drippers are well the name speaks for itself no I'm sorry it doesn't it was just a pickup rhythm and blues band which began very shakily a guy who I know who lives locally and played with Savoy Brown and Fleetwood Mac his name is Andy Sylvester he was quite well known Blues in the Blues field and he'd been offered to do a little gig locally it's no big deal and he came to me he said look we've got this band how do you fancy singing I said I don't fancy singing at all and then he started reeling off the kind of material that they intended to do and my ears pricked up it just sounded great sounded like where I came in really we rehearsed maybe twice taught the sax players had a play in to you know have to adjust the thing on the end there and off we went we did one gig and it was great maximum crowd 125 people yeah chattering one of the nice things too and there were so many people I think that are watching MTV now who have been fans of yours for some time but went around at the beginning for Led Zeppelin so they're not really all that familiar with Zeppelin's roots and your roots in particular so when you said when he had said those magic words of the kind of music he was gonna be playing cuz you were it was just old 50's rhythm and blues sort of Chicago blues Muddy Waters Howlin wolf the Howlin wolf stuff was great because that really suits when I let go and sing I mean it's just great it's a great medium in which we're seeing so it just pursued that then the idea came up a lot of these guys didn't have very much bread and they didn't have any bands to play in so we decided to take it on the road four days a week no weekends because of a stocker well I'm getting a little retirement I think is the word I think I have to take it easy now I'm substitute most of the time but it was good it was starting me off again it allowed me to get within a couple of yards of the audience I mean like it was one of those if I wasn't singing right somebody did say hey you can do better than that right it wasn't very nice and as time went on in that sort of went on for about two or three months I began to think well it's a bit a little bit more to it than this yes and so the wise the guitarist who was playing one of the guitars in the honey dripper his name is Robbie Blunt and we started working just you know something to do see if we could write something really now when you were working with Robbie Blunt where you working I mean like together can conjunction or would he go off and and write the music and you'd write the lyrics or would you actually sit down together like oh just sat down together yeah was that where you after years of just doing that with Jimmy and John Paul and Bonzo oh well obviously there was I kept harking back and thinking gosh this is quite comfortable it works okay but I'd known him for a long time anyway so I mean it was just a little weird enveloping him into what I wanted to do and he to me too but I mean we got used to it took a couple of days and then we started started pouring it it's nice on the new album you also used two drummers mmm cozy power and Phil Collins is doing so well right now with Genesis quite two drummers well it's quite simple really cozy was very involved with Michael Schenker and I know whether you've heard Michael Schenker's so he only had a short amount of time it was one of those things where it was a socket and see situation if you know it was like a rehearsal situation that may may not have gone any father and cozy said well I've got a couple of weeks if you're going to really go for it I'll come down for a couple of weeks and work with you and in the two weeks that he was with us we rehearsed and we recorded just like I've never been gone and slow dancer and I said well maybe it's still a demo situation you know I would have to see okay it needed to say wasn't now Phil Collins recently just really why shouldn't a recent spent about a year now but completed his first solo album in any way because this is the first time that I know that you've worked outside of a group situation recording an album did he help you in any way or just today he gave me a lot of confidence because I was so used to working in a very close-knit team and he said well what you got to do is go for it you know that's why I'm here now he said now you just get out there and go you this was cheering the making of the record was Phil he said it's gonna be great you've got to put yourself you got to make yourself available you've got to push you've got to do this you've got to do that man that I really needed that kind of help too because I mean I had as I say been in that camp for so long but certainly I was standing alone going oh so much I can do and he was a great help apart from being an incredible drummer yeah you mean the pair of them were great for two totally different reasons that I mean the one cosy was all power and right foot and lots of turning up in the studio until we everybody was going on no no more you know I submit and Phil on the other hand was a different kind of technician but they were both very important and listening to the album the other day individual songs stand out for different reasons on the album to me fat lip which is something that very catchy has really all the hooks for possible single now I know in when you were within Zeppelin they within the confines of those parameters that were set up I think other than immigrant song you never released a single before yeah yeah so didn't you didn't concern yourself with singles would you concern yourself with a single on this album if one seemingly I was looking about like maybe fat lip I've concerned myself with anything that's going forward you know I mean I don't know whether there's there are people who maybe never listen to Zeppelin or there are young kids around the corner perhaps are not aware of what I've done in the past and really what I'm talking about is the future the present in the future it's like what's going on ahead so if a single is going to open the door to what I'm doing that's great that looks quite funny actually because there ain't had drummer on it there's no drums at all it's just that rhythm box you know and because he was most frustrated he thought it was disgusting that there should be a track that I'm involved in didn't have somebody flailing away he was insisting on playing the drums in the solo part and we had to assure him out of the door and gag him or keep him quiet for a while but singles yeah I mean again anything goes really that's good also now I think which have been happening since you were in a way but in retirement is that video has come on strong which is why we have MTV and as I told you before we're 24 hours a day in with 7 days a week which means we have to have an awful lot of product and people are putting that product out mm-hmm now would you possibly be concerned in in making a video especially something from this album which would be very nice yeah again I mean it's it's quite straightforward it'd be great to see I've seen so many good videos and I've seen a hell of a lot of real tacky ones ones where there hasn't been a great deal of thought put into it all people have done the best they can in trying to create a pictorial image of any of the tracks on that album I would be so critical and so analytical that probably people might do a fantastic job and I would never be particularly content that the imagery matched up to what I see in the music but it's a new it's not a new feel but it's in an experimental stage in many areas there are some excellent directors that are coming about now like Russell Mulcahy and godly and crime who used to be an easy see it was splendid work getting back to the album the mix on pledge pin is like reminds me of Zeppelin and all in a way but one of the things you did which I thought was odd since you're putting out a solo album is that you put the drums in the bass up front in your voice on that particular track is back a bit and I was wondering since you did produce the album yourself while you did that my ears had gone well I've been I mean I'm pledged pin I it was there was so much of a rhythm track there it was really rocking without anything else on it at all in fact there were other pieces and other parts on the number 24 Trackmaster that were there but it sounded so cluttered because filled and the bass player Paul we're going crazy and there wasn't a great deal of room for anything else anyway and the voice the vocal on that track it's so removed from the actual the dynamics of the track intentionally it's like-- melodic while the rest of the tracks flailing away pounding away that it just just required that mix to me like I said you produced the album yourself on the past while the Zeppelin albums were produced by Jimmy Page did you enjoy producing this album I mean this is the first time you actually wasn't we were in total control well yeah I was in total control I had a lot of help Benji the favorite cast Sandman who still was me plucking away and every time anything goes a bit awry so that hits me and it's been the armor says I got a permanent bruise and the engineer Pat Moran was extremely diligent I had a lot of patience but it was great I mean it was something I didn't really realize how long it was going to take and how tiring it was and all that sort of thing but at the same time at the end of the day when you've done it you could say well that's it I've done it that's great but you did rely on those people in case you're going in the wrong direction to give you a little well I mean if I got a bit tired or a bit sort of you know where's the nearest club or something like that and I get a quick wallop up not appropriately now the big big question I'm sure that everyone would really love to know because they do address to the left or the right are you going to tour on this particular will this particular one to support the album we'd love to see you on stage and I'm not even asking I want to know since you're doing all these new things now you're interested in video a couple of years ago you said man I don't care about films now you're possibly interested in singles if it can help them in now and now how about touring of course nothing's better than getting your your face out there on stage well the doors are open to everything except for touring I mean I can't - with pictures at 11 goes on four or lasts for about 45 minutes and that don't really allow you time to get on stage and just do one album and leave it at that there's no I don't have any more material yeah but you've played with some of the just walk a little audience is in the world and it's quite true I mean possibly along with the stones and the who I don't know anyone whose else's ever played to such huge audiences don't you miss performing a little bit well I did before but when you say that do I miss crowds yeah oh shoot yeah I mean you did a song called the ocean about that and I remember once in fact was even longer than that back around 73 and you once told me stepping on on stage you know and feeling that surge come from the crowd you know I can't even really say what you said but in other words it was a big rush yeah well I guess I've got I mean it's like I know I suppose it's like being in the desert waiting to get back to green again back to you know the other extreme I have to wait because I don't have enough material I mean it's it's quite practical it's quite straight for what would I do after I played those songs there's nothing left to play yes and also then I would you think maybe being hesitant to I'm sure we talked about that before you wouldn't want to go out there and they're gonna start yelling all the the big Zeppelin songs Kashmir whatever and would you feel obligated to do that no no those songs belong with a certain bunch of guys and they don't belong with anybody else we started that all go to Vegas and do the whole lot in the medal you know I just want to know how you felt about that because I've seen a lot of bands do that recently you know go back to old material that was made with a set group of people Led Zeppelin was one of the top touring bands of all time if you ever thought and since you've had this time I'd sit back and just think about all of that if you ever thought about why because you want to been there was in the public eye so much well I think that was one of the things and also the fact that we were it was very seldom that we were bad I mean we were bad lots but it was a very selling that we were we didn't deliver the goods you know and when you're working with just four people it can be it gets so close so tight and it's obviously it's apparent to everybody but there are a lot of four-piece band to the same it's just that that was the way for us and it came across I think it came across really well well I saw the results yes on you the white nice others were so I've been lucky too because of you and I met in that first tour and and followed it all the way through you've seen that happening to seed grow huge I know I remember you used to come up to me and I didn't know what to say about what happened every time I saw if it was once every six months or something I just look at you and go the critics were often hard on legs up as you know really do you know I'm sure they never worth you've improved that why do you think the critics are so so hard on you guys when obviously the audience's loved you and never with them that's the reason in case the people don't know 250,000 people came one particular weekend the next weekend it was something like 200,000 people from all over Europe all over the United States I think it was still half empty yeah and even the critics tore you up even that and I thought you were excellent I thought the first two numbers were a little shaky tonight then you straighten it out and off you were what that was it it was good and they I think everybody waits for a band they build you up help you get there you're always eternally grateful and then suddenly you finally all the old guys that you knew are being removed and the guys who come up next and the guys have been employed to you know tack it all away take it all away from the bottom and it was always popular and that was another thing people were waiting I think press were waiting for the day when we would really couldn't turn it on and it never came so they had to start the business themselves it was good sport I mean we even suggested in England so Carson from Atlantic Records said well why don't we write our own review of the album accepted with the with the record you know are you surprised by Zeppelin and of course I'm sure you're gonna see now with the release in this record your continued success in this country I mean your popularity is still as strong today as it was I would say back in 77 when you last toured you turn on the radio you still hear your music yeah but this is different this is this is not the old regime this is a new sketch so I mean who can say what will happen no I mean I'm really interested I mean whatever anybody thinks in the business if you call it the business and people who heard the record people who may like it or may not like it it's interesting it's an interesting phase too soon but you're an integral part of that song I mean there's no doubt about it wasn't like you're in on the back burner you were an integral part of the sound that came out of that particular band and he just still come to New York or Los Angeles or wherever in this country but how does it still and still hear that music coming over so uh and people have been waiting for your album you know it bated breath could be it'd be just because you are who you are and your roots were what they were don't you find that still kind of surprising and since the last time like not only with it were the words last time the band was seen was in 79 but the last time the band had an album was in 79 and yet usually with other bands once that happens in bed is a demise or whatever they go away a lot of popularity goes away and you don't hear it on the radio radio wouldn't play it if they didn't think people wanted to hear it mmm streets very flattering incredibly flattering but I mean flattery is great and and the music also stood up for itself as I said before I mean it all made sense but how much long does it go on in a way you know you all you guys kind of paved the way for blues-based hard rock and roll bands like Van Halen ac/dc and even in a way rush I'd say even though they're not really blues bass do you like the music in any way I like the stray cats so you like rockabilly I like yeah I like the stray cat so I like the blasters Fabulous Thunderbirds I mean I like music The Kooks that people are having a good time making you know have you heard the blasters album yes great and the stray cats as well stray cats started I think there are they're from New York and then they went to Los Angeles that didn't happen then they went to England it started to happen Brian's just come back to New York now they got I didn't doing some work around New York very shortly but they're great I mean they're really it's like very vital very unaffected when we last spoke in 79 we spoke about rockabilly music and and because I know that your roots are basically blues-based and rockabilly bass but yet the only thing I ever remember sounding rock ability coming from in the past work you've done was hotdogs and candies do a rock I mean Kent yeah presents definitely that was the intention was to sort of to try and fill that gap a little bit you know because it was obviously a lot of Blues based material that came through the reason is on this yeah this album later but I mean the rockabilly size very light but very very good intention and going back with a stray cats I mean I saw them when I first came to England they were in a small club they were good then they hit the kind of big stage theaters and stuff and it was still really convincing you know I kind of stand out they are enormous in America I think they will be with the new album in they're coming over to eat or we can we look for like maybe a rockabilly style maybe a song or two on your next album maybe the odd tune in the cognac glass I'm not ready for Bourbon Street yet but I don't think so I don't think so I think I like I like well it's down to writing it's down to playing this down to creating an atmosphere through records I like to do it the other way and I know there's a distinct difference I mean it's great having a good time but it's great actually take something that's a simple idea and make it into a real Wow you know listen a lot of I hate in a way go back to this but it's just one thing that I know that uh so many young kids but not familiar with the name Led Zeppelin and came around right hello I've never heard this before I've never been asked this right the rumor that Keith Moon named the band is that true hmm did you tell us their story how that Kent went down well I can only tell you what I've been told cuz I wasn't around you see I came along a little later but there was gonna be some kind of super band of which there have been millions but this was gonna be the first superb and I think names that were mentioned and it could be completely wrong in our context with Steve Winwood Steve Marriott Keith Moon I mean even Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page together in the hole it was almost like a caravan of brilliance you know it didn't come to much but during the talk about it maybe it was just talking a club but he was in the air and while it was in the air Mooney gave it that name he said you know will you tell a joke in America anything goes down like a lead balloon it's a flop so if you start off using the term flop then it can't get any worse going so they tell there's everyone came over you know I didn't even know that after all these years no I thought you were just saying it cuz my honestly I really didn't know yeah all right fact I do remember the last time I saw Bonzo and John Bonham and and Keith Moon on stage together if you remember in 77 yeah anybody else once next up in Los Angeles and and of course with what would Moody's death the who replaced as best they could with Kenny Kenny Jones on drums and of course even when Brian Jones passed away well even a month before then the Rolling Stones who replaced Brian why did you find it not the thing to do shall we say to try to find a replacement from the bronze oh there's one thing there are many things but there's one thing far more important than keeping a group going and that is how you feel about people you know and I mean for all the sort of rares and whatever we've gone through we were the ultimate unit on stage was one thing but off stage and how we felt how we were there was no room for replacements there was no room to have anybody you know that was secondary the idea of continuing by sticking somebody else back there on the rostrum was his bad taste yeah tell me this tune is the last thing I have sin on that particular question when one it's not that dramatic it's just like a kind of tribute to John Mike I mean we would have never been half as good if you listen to those records I mean it was like dynamite and uh I mean it used to give me some stick but nevertheless I mean that's it you know I obviously know what a find him really was I think one of the things for anybody listening to Led Zeppelin the music you know all the big tunes that everybody's heard and they're quite popular to listen to his drumming on the live version on the live album on no quarter and all the textures and that he goes through it you can see what a fine drummer yes and what anybody else would have have a good that had been even if that had been a bedroom one aspect done John which I would have it would be very hard to find anybody anyway but I mean even so I mean he had it overall he had so much taste and so much feel that's it there's nothing more I can say when that dies like that prematurely it leaves all sorts of funny emotions I think with the people even sometimes bitterness and not so much bitterness because you miss the person but also good in us because you missed that person's creativity in this kind of situation was that a bit of a problem for you in any way no I just lost my mate do you have any existing in other words is it possible in the future that we could here I'm sure they had to be some material that all of you had worked on it might possibly be released in the future if you all decide to do so well anything's possible I mean I don't want to be vague but I mean I haven't really given it a great deal of thought personally it's another one of those suck it and see jobs morning would you tell the audience cuz we had a new story not too long ago about Bonzo's son Jason and what a gril Ian drummer he is and I try to explain to the people that it wasn't just like a send-off that the kid really is a fine percussionist excellent yeah we did a sound check for Knebworth and this remarkably big concert you were at event and the stage was about 40 50 feet off the ground some ridiculous height and three days before the gig we went down there and Jason came with us and he played with the band while Bonzo went out front to hear what it was like I think I don't know what we did but it was great and it was really funny because I mean he really hit the drums but at the same time the San engineers were like whack in the sand and and there was something like a hundred thousand what PA something really over-the-top fortunately we needed it but anyway that night we had complaints from seven miles away cuz of the sand was that lad and he helped to contribute to the complaint it was great then he went back to school yeah he's a great little kid great tremendous you know I hope he does well do you think he'll be going on to that professionally well I don't know I mean he's he's at the age now where he's like doing all sorts of things holder's in earnest Vicky how would you feel if your children decided to go into rock and roll what with my with my back I kind of stand people who tell lies you in touch with the with the rest of the guys at all nowadays Jimmy and John Paul yeah I see Jimmy occasionally Jonesy not so often he's immersed in whatever he's doing you know it is any of that musical there's Jonesy such a brilliant musician I think in a lot of ways people didn't realize because an awful lot of attention and to no fault of their own but was given to you and to Jimmy and he went to Bonzo but in the way Jonesy was like the don't you like it like that it was great because a we used to stay in hotels in the morning we tend to get up at least before noon well there were other members of the entourage who had to be got up for the gig sometimes you know so we used to go out walking together and maybe we'd make it about 500 yards from the hotel where I'd have to turn around and scamper back which really isn't particularly good fun you know but Jonesy could keep on striding at the ultimate optimist except for in the end he got a bit cheesed off because nobody knew who he was anyway you know do you think the three of you may ever play again together at some point further on down the road I don't know I really don't there's not the time to even think about it in 79 you surprised me interview we did you told me that you wanted to be remembered for and I was waiting for all sorts of songs but the song was for all of my love and you said that at that time up to that point you considered it to be your most definitive work do you still feel that well I think I was in the middle of that whole beautiful thing that was going on there I use beautiful not in inverted commas it was nice you know and that was the one of the more recent things that we've done I really liked it was very melodic very simple it was if you like closer to Brill Building material you know all the sort of Goffin Kings stuff the nice short crisp song so at that time I probably said that and I probably meant it but I mean if you look and now as I look back as loads of things I mean what can I say in fact there's a song on the new album that reminds me very very much of it you know and I was wondering well maybe obviously it's not because you're not feeling I was gonna say I thought maybe there might be an extension on the new album cuz they have two beautiful ballads on the new album you know but you've always had that romantic side to you yeah I will I guess really that's why that's why you sing that's why you're right because there's that you know you can't just sing about streets and hotels and and chicks don't get in the limousine yeah emotion is very important you co-wrote and you're saying probably one of I'd have to say certainly at least one of the two or three definitive classic rock and roll songs and stairway to heaven so many years now looking back on it in retrospect how do you feel it still stands up how do you feel about it today well I'm amazed I mean I don't want to appear I don't know really I mean I've read that many times and I know that it was a nice song it had a beginning a middle and an end and it was a bit of that nice song I mean it's just very flattering it's also the dynamics of this song of course I know that but I mean you're asking me I'm gonna be nice and sort of your voice continues to be in top form and you haven't like I said other than the honey drippers you haven't been really singing professionally for some time how do you manage to keep it in shape because you'll run it from a range of very very deep as one of the things I've always been amazed by your voice where you can come way down and then putting it way up there and I'd imagine you'd have to keep your pipes in shape for that how do you do that nicotine tobacco some days it works and some days it doesn't I mean on the movie the song remains the same I do black dog about 3,000 octaves lower than it should be and people are constantly saying hey you that's no good but the job was done sometimes when you tie it it doesn't happen you know that yes I do [Laughter] can you tell us who an influence your style when you first started singing long before you actually got into the business of music we have Ray Charles really yeah I thought Ray Charles was I mean apart from the Chicago blues guys I found him walking all that Ray Charles had so much style and it was a little smoother it was like a sort of Ray Charles was influenced upon that King Cole so you've got that you know going back and then Steve Winwood although the same age as me was in a bank or Spencer Davis group and he was doing things like drown in my own tears and he was given a more youthful white voice interpretation of that kind of black music you know that's a good question leads in tis a good question I believe because in you go to England and obviously you do have blacks in England but at the same time the music that seems to be the basis of rock and roll which truthfully I must admit and especially in the 60s if not so much so today but still came back to us from America right black blues was here in America picked up by people like Zeppelin rolling stones given back to us in his country but it's not indigenous of England Wow Wow how could that music take such hold in a country that really has nothing to do with it I've no idea and I know when I was a kid it was such an alternative to listen to to what I've got around me I mean Herman's Hermits and that sort of real sugary pop music had got absolutely no depth to it he was like something began and a minute 55 seconds later it stopped now some of the classic minute and 55 seconds later stops over here well things like love pushing them aligned by the clovers you know it will stand by the shown in lipstick traces Benny Spellman great R&B C Cruz Frankie Ford loads Chris Kennedy all these armed B guys in everything and it was real grit it was like a nice alternative but in England now black music does hold and that is and it's our own English black music and that's earned the music from the West Indian community and combinations between black and white live bands like the beat I don't whether they've been to English Beach yeah incredible band great combination of their sort of two cultures stick it together and you've got mirror in the bathroom incredible you know can you describe the difference between a Robert Plant on stage as you would say man Robert Plant off stage well I've got a dollar in my pocket I've never carried money on stage but with this that whole persona changes God don't think it does I think I just sit on it a bit more up stage one of the things I've always liked about your image because you never actually went about trying to make an image it just happened for you but part of that images of being a sex symbol in a way you know and there again I said it's something I've never seen you cultivate in all the years that I've known you but is it hard dealing with that when you come off stage shall we say on stage you can play that row but when you're off stage I think I purposely tried to do it's just that none of my shirts fit yeah no I mean I wouldn't do it now you know I can't be serious about it is what I'm trying to say I mean it's great fun dancing around but I mean how serious do you take it if there would be one thing that you could change about yourself Robert what would it be I'm got a clue what a great question it's one thing I could change about myself I can't say I don't know I'd stop telling lies do it anyway there's an Led Zeppelin in many ways represented a particular era era era not an era era era time in space in ten years decade did you describe your contribution what do you think the country the contribution of the band in the music was to the 70s yeah I don't know I think it's just a very urgent you know I can use that term yeah I think it was just very full of life very full of urgency and yet it also had the ability to span through from one side of one end of the emotion right the way across to the other formulation to sadness I mean just an all-around could take it how would you like when it one day it is all it will obviously at one point and I hope not in the near future but it come to an all an end how would you like to be remembered you know professionally musically being a great soccer player I've never even thought about it I don't see any in know well look I mean a bit of makeup and look what happens it's perfect in it no I asked that because I know that if I were to ask you about Robert Johnson and what his contribution was to blues that you could tell me hmm you know yeah me I don't know I mean I can't I can't stand that far away myself to really see what can we expect in the future because I get a feeling you've got all new goals in this new energy surging through you you know a new ideas you know can you give us any idea what we can expect from Robert and over the next couple of years well I'd steady flow of albums and all being well touring and apart from that there's so many new things that are going on I must play with them or yes well you're welcome to come back and play with and I said any time you want and you know that Robert thanks and please consider touring again you know when you can get it together you get enough material to go out on the road because you can
