Jimmy Page, who planned to capture people

Jimmy Page might not have intended for Led Zeppelin to become one of the most popular bands ever. The success was a byproduct of the band’s chemistry combining to create music fans loved. Page avoided disaster by choosing Led Zeppelin over two other terrible band names he considered, and the quartet he formed took it from there. When it was time to get down to business, Page planned to make an immediate statement with Zep’s first album, and he and the band more than succeeded.

Jimmy Page planned to make a statement with the first Led Zeppelin album: ‘You need to capture people’s attention’

Page put Led Zeppelin together when his previous group, the Yardbirds, disintegrated. He started with singer Robert Plant, who blew away Page during a concert at an odd venue, and then added drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones. The group came together quickly, recorded their first album a few weeks after forming, and toured Europe and North America within six months of coming together.
