You were also buying art and you'd been to art college. How did art school affect the music you made?

Jimmy Page: When I was in my teens and I was being introduced to records, I developed the ability to really hear things intently. I'd listen to records and work out what every instrument was doing and how it all gelled together. Then, when I worked in studios, I'd ask the engineers how things were done. The thing about going to art college, though, is that you learned how to see things in different ways. That's what it did for me: it provided me with a different perspective. I was sort of seeing music in the way that you were layering paints, or like a collage.

So do you actually 'see' music?

Well, I can definitely visualise it, there's no doubt about that. There are definitely things that we did along the way where I knew what they'd be like before we did them.
