Robert Plant's career was at a quiet point by the early 90s. A lot of people did not like his, as Robert put it in an interview: "80's sh*t." Jimmy's stuff in the 80s was not great in my opinion and who ever came up with the concept for the Outrider album cover should have been permanently unemployed. They were out again trying to sell their product, and unlike the 70s that was one success after another, they were middle aged with a sketchy recent history. It must have been frustrating, I remember in an interview Robert was complaining about always having to go "pan in hand" begging for an audience with a new release.
I know what you mean. These two should've started a comedy tour. I think I like their interviews as much as their music. Too f-ing funny for words. Both of them :)
I keep watching this over n over again.. just too funny for me.. seems like they really hope the session to be over soon enough n yet still having fun throughout the interview..robert's eye rolling , jimmy's yawning n their bursting laughter just cracks me up all the time..
You can tell Jimmy and Robert are just enjoying the hell out of this. LoL More like, they'd rather be doing just about anything else in the WORLD than be at this particular Japanese translated press conference! If not for Roberts upbeat sense of 'humour' this, I'm sure, would have been a complete and total disaster for one and all. ;o)
Anna Nydegger - Actually Jimmy looks calmer here than past interviews.. Robert knows & takes the lead.. that’s why they play so well together.. I love that❣️
12:30 to 15 mins ish. Fascinating. They are aware of the mics though. Great, really great even interviews with these guys are great, put me in a good mood.
Jimmy was never comfortable in the interviews. But he feels comfortable in Japan in general. He has a great emotional connection with Japan, I know that.
I think he’d be more comfortable, if he had his guitar in his hands, but then he’d breakout playing it. With this interview, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
The "lost in translation" here is not just in languages, much more about cultural differences. Japanese are serious (proper) people, humor is discouraged, unappreciated and easily misunderstood especially in a foreign language. Conformity and uniformity are big, creativity or individualism not so much. The young ones do, however, idolize American (western) arts, music in particular. I think Robert and Jimmy behaved as well as could be expected considering the awkward questioning and format.
I've seen a few of these press conferences with Plant & Page and they're pretty damn fun to watch. I like the 1994 press conference in Australia, which is pretty funny too. I think Robert Plant answered the question about JP Jones in several ways. What I get from his answers is he and Page are on the same page, no pun intended, musically and JP Jones isn't. If you watch their concerts, Plant defers to Page a lot. I get the feeling these two have a pretty good working relationship as well as a friendship. I think they know not including JP Jones looks bad but it is what it is. Frankly, I'm sick of the JP Jones questions and, I don't think the reporters care that much anyway except to cause controversy. Anyway, if you ask most of us, we can watch these two talk all day.
Sorry, I have to respond to my own comment. Sometimes, I'm in the mood for a concert. Other times, I have to watch their press conferences. God, these two are crazy and so damn funny. Both display a sense of humor, as well as intelligence. I like good looking rock stars but, I like smart and funny men even more. I love this press conference, must have more :)
@@kimberlywalker3970 This is the first time I've seen this press conference. It is so funny, I can't help feeling bad for them at times they , mostly Jimmy, look so tired and bored. I agree with you, they are both very intelligent, witty men ! Love them so much❤
I so love coming to across all these interviews I’ve never seen before.. I have to say I miss Robert & Jimmy playing together as they just have that ‘click’ together..Interviewers always underestimated their intelligence..
So funny; laughed all the time. At 3:07 Synchrony level expert :both rise glasses at the same time. 35:00 Jimmy lays his head on the table - wishing to be far, far away from there. Bloody hell! Best part Rob sort says... well Jimm´s got relatives living in Japan; he had a good time here last time buying bootlegs f* amazing. Give Jimmy a guitar and let Rob sing, for God´s sake!
This is the most goddam entertaining thing I've ever seen! Hahahaha P.S. Love ya Percy and Pagey! Arigato Gozaimasu! 26 years gone, holding on, holding on.
Robert is more comfortable I think having been the frontman, & a more extrovert. Jimmy & JPJ seemed more introverted, unless comfortable around who they’re with. Jimmy uses his guitar to do his talking, he can make that thing talk & sing.
Is nobody gonna acknowledge Robert saying boo when asked to give a message to Japanese press idk if that’s really what he said but I seriously laughed so fucking hard
OMG this reminds me when I was in church the priest had Cockeye's I could not stop laughing so the priest made me sit up front!!!!!! I think this is a laugh riot. Jimmy looks like he is trying to be nice but they both cracked me up.
21:41 Robert was looking for someone familiar in the audience, but them turn on Jimmy Page at his side ..I think Japanese just should ask Robert and Jimmy how they get that curly hair
This would've been a great Saturday Night Live parody, ..with John Belushi as Page, .. Jane Curtain as Plant. ..Belushi was such an Ace at mimicking people, he would've Nailed Pages mannerisms, .. 😂🎉
44:51 Plant looks at the camera, Page turns around to look at screen behind him and then Plant points to a point on the screen. Then Plant clears his throat to signal to Jimmy that he’s done. It’s part of the Pink Floyd enigma where clues were Planted on the Pages of The Division Bell tour guide and CD booklet
Their body language says they would rather be rocking out on stage to a sold out audience😎.. Not to mention jimmy downin that water,, probably dehydrated and hung over👍😅
..alot of those Zeppelin songs, Robert Plant wouldn't be able top or match at this point, not in the same style or without at least changing parts of the songs anyway. It took everything he had to perform them at those heights even when he was in his 20's. It would be ridiculous to try to complete with ones Younger self as Nothing remains the same much less the Song when performed live, one cannot stay at those heights forever any more than one can stay 25 forever, it's an unrealistic goal or expectation.🔥 🌌
6:27 “It’s not like a kind of Pink Floyd stroke Emerson Snake and Charmer type of revival” The band YES called ELP Henderson Snake and Charmer and ELP called YES “Maybe”.
They boot scooted their asses out of there quick, as soon as it was over, like a race out of chairs & out the door LOL. I’d have loved being a fly hanging close to them, I’d love to know what all they were saying, & in the car when they left.
I would have been falling asleep if I was them. Those Japanese people apparantly love to talk more than actually interviewing their subjects. Page and Plant were actually a little entertaining in their ,for the most part, misery.
This is the worst set-up for an interview with English speaking subjects in a foreign country I have ever seen. Whoever set this up should do one more and then quit the business.
When something is unleaded, such as gas-o-line for example, other various heavy metals replace it, and or are mixed in, such as mercury, barium, irons, and other toxins. It is a great pun. If the air was not so heavy with toxins/pollution, we could all be flying around in it. With the rock genre, the mind flies around instead, the purpose of the music in the first place and if LZ does not get the mind to the highest level possible, then you are grounded anyway, body, spirit and soul.

They're like two schoolkids who'd rather be outside playing football.- Most wonderful!
henrik h This is a time elapse of my school days from grade 2 on
What principal would let these two in the same class?
Around 8:12 I love Jimmy's laugh. I missed it the first few time but, it cracked me up tonight :)

I love the way Jimmy laughs. He just makes it all more funnier.
Jimmy Page cracks me up... he so wanted to laugh his ass off here!
Jimmy looking the most Japanese in the room
Lol
I've watched this at least 5 times in the past 2-3 days lmao it's too funny
I LOVE THEM 🤣❤
I know what you mean. These two should've started a comedy tour. I think I like their interviews as much as their music. Too f-ing funny for words. Both of them :)
I know! This particular conference seems rife with tension!
@@sarahmatz4858
It's so funny 🤣
I keep watching this over n over again.. just too funny for me.. seems like they really hope the session to be over soon enough n yet still having fun throughout the interview..robert's eye rolling , jimmy's yawning n their bursting laughter just cracks me up all the time..
Too funny they made the best of such an uncomfortable interview. Watching them just laugh together was too great.
Clearly good chemistry between both
You can tell Jimmy and Robert are just enjoying the hell out of this. LoL More like, they'd rather be doing just about anything else in the WORLD than be at this particular Japanese translated press conference! If not for Roberts upbeat sense of 'humour' this, I'm sure, would have been a complete and total disaster for one and all. ;o)
James Cameron I wish we could peel the sound back and only hear what they were saying and their banter. Hilarious!
Robert always cool, calm, and in control and Jimmy nervous and uncomfortable as usual.
Is Robert practicing Islam at this point? He says inshalla and God is great and something else that sounded like he might be leaning that way.
Anna Nydegger I think that's him just messing around. like just saying stuff that other people have no idea what they mean and laughing to himself
Anna Nydegger - Actually Jimmy looks calmer here than past interviews.. Robert knows & takes the lead.. that’s why they play so well together.. I love that❣️
it's the YAYO
Dammmnnnn!!! Talk about your most UNCOMFORTABLE CONFERENCES!!! It's HILARIOUS!!!
Robert points out that Jimmy was previously in Japan with "that chap." He cannot even say Coverdale's name, ha ha!
Translation: You came here w/that insufferable bastard. There, now I feel better.
LOL
thank you - it's great ! [ anybody remember laughter ? ]
This is great!! Their relationship is obviously wonderful.
I would have liked to have heard what Jimmy and Robert said to each other immediately after leaving the press conference room!
I like the way they printed Mr before their names. Sweet!
12:30 to 15 mins ish. Fascinating. They are aware of the mics though. Great, really great even interviews with these guys are great, put me in a good mood.
god i love led-zepplin sooooo so much 2 most down to earth guys absolute rock gods
ME TO JANE 😘😘😘😘
Could somebody please save mr jimmy page from social interactions lmao come to see it him and robert are perfect together two opposite personalities
Jimmy was never comfortable in the interviews. But he feels comfortable in Japan in general. He has a great emotional connection with Japan, I know that.
He finds the language funny 😂
Probably because he has relatives there lol don’t get mad it’s a joke, and if you don’t get it watch the rest of the video
I think he’d be more comfortable, if he had his guitar in his hands, but then he’d breakout playing it. With this interview, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Enjoyed every minute of this :) Love them both
8:12 when ur teacher makes a joke and no one laughs but u have a 39% in the class
Roberts Joke @36.04. ‘He’s got relatives in Japan’. And Jimmys laugh.
I think it went over everyone else’s heads 😂 they probably thought he was serious 😂
Beautiful interview Love Robert and Pagey

Plant: “Emerson, Snake and Charmer” . 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
43:38 i have tears in my ears from laughing so much.
what did he say ?
@@fleurbaptisee6179
Lol 😆. I know, right?
@@fleurbaptisee6179 "It's John Paul Jones calling him on the phone saying have you asked my question yet?"
Look at 43:38 already or you'll miss Robert saying 'wanker' :D
10:47 knocks me out 🤣
K W priceless!
I’m dying!
Ummm k 🤭😆 that was a surprise unexpected funny expression Robert Plant just did. That's just too funny.
Page laughing & saying he didn’t understand it, him laughing was hilarious.
OMG, I'm watching, crying and laughing🤣These two are brilliant. I love them❤️
2:16
Reporter: Mr. Plant, if you could give a message to the Japanese press?
Plant: *inaudible*
I wonder if he said “bomb”
laslalal boo
43:20 hahaha “what a wanker” “it’s JPJ coming on the phone to say have you asked my question yet”

This is so funny! My second watch. They are trying so hard not to laugh and be respectful. Love them!!
34.45...jimmy yawning...and robert see him...and after they laugh a lot! they are so funny
Excellent
I so love coming to across all these interviews I’ve never seen before.. I have to say I miss Robert & Jimmy playing together as they just have that ‘click’ together..Interviewers always underestimated their intelligence..
This is still funnier than shit!

Flora Oliveira but...before taking a drink, they both scratched their eyebrow.
I love how Robert said inshalla to the japanese crowd. Wrong foreign country Robert! lol
Hahaha this is great interview very funny. Like two miss misbehave school kids haha
If I were the principal at that school, I would never let these two be placed in the same class.

To be beautiful!!! l love LED Zeppelin!

P.S. Love ya Percy and Pagey!

26 years gone, holding on, holding on.
I love their sense of humour.
This is 2 funny, Robert calling someone a wanker and Jimmy cutting up and laughing. One of my favorite interviews!! JPP 🎸🎸🎸
10:49 31:18 34:45 they are so cute 😂
Glorious Footage!
Thank you for sharing 🌹
the funniest interview ever
Jimmy at 28:05 made me laugh like crazy :)
😹😹😺
We want to be just like two ego maniacs, sitting down, flattering each other again.

Thanks, Mark!
Smile and try not to die... Hahaha 🐱

sooo all of it 🤣
Robert Plant is so smart and intelligent.
Actually all four members of Zep were..
@@jayannakelley9051 True. People think of Bonzo as the loose cannon drunk drummer, but he was intelligent too.
Robert is more comfortable I think having been the frontman, & a more extrovert. Jimmy & JPJ seemed more introverted, unless comfortable around who they’re with. Jimmy uses his guitar to do his talking, he can make that thing talk & sing.
@12:54 Jimmy gets justifiably pissed off
Omg how long can a question take? I would of gone nuts sitting there so long
UPありがとう。
Is nobody gonna acknowledge Robert saying boo when asked to give a message to Japanese press idk if that’s really what he said but I seriously laughed so fucking hard
Lol! Jimmy looks like he's ready to jump out of his skin. Robert...the long cool one as always.
Yep Spot On 🤣
OMG this reminds me when I was in church the priest had Cockeye's I could not stop laughing so the priest made me sit up front!!!!!! I think this is a laugh riot. Jimmy looks like he is trying to be nice but they both cracked me up.
They should have had a screen of cc dialog to translate the interview
34:19 Robert was starting to huge himself due Japanese don't have that kind of expression over there, he was in so need for a hug
Aria... what??
I think he was trying to find a way to stay awake. They both look bored.
Watching this on a 60 inch TV is funnier!! Lol I'm seeing things I missed 😅
The whole “ Stairways to Heaven” part...
21:41 Robert was looking for someone familiar in the audience, but them turn on Jimmy Page at his side ..I think Japanese just should ask Robert and Jimmy how they get that curly hair

Someone arrogant who arranged this actually thought they would get Robert and Jimmy to “conform”. And this is the result.
44:51 Plant looks at the camera, Page turns around to look at screen behind him and then Plant points to a point on the screen. Then Plant clears his throat to signal to Jimmy that he’s done. It’s part of the Pink Floyd enigma where clues were Planted on the Pages of The Division Bell tour guide and CD booklet
Where's that confounded bridge???
Somebody saw a film? Jimmy seems to be leading the charge, as Robert decides to be obstinate. This is what happens when Gods wake up in the morning.
Translation to what the heck the intro person is saying.
At 18:31 To 18:49 I Love Robert And Jimmy's Laugh 🤗 This Interview Is (In The Jokers Voice) FUNNNAY🤣❤😂
The questions too long for them...lol...they're getting bored...lol
I don't blame them
Nice! Both so beautiful!😍🥰😘
wish i could speak Japanese...WOW!
Their body language says they would rather be rocking out on stage to a sold out audience😎.. Not to mention jimmy downin that water,, probably dehydrated and hung over👍😅

1977 was not in vein, but it took way too long to remember what I learned.
I always thought they should have been called "Heffazep" - like the Heffalumps from Winnie the Pooh... :)
Hilarious reaction to slow torture."Smile and try not to die."
6:27 “It’s not like a kind of Pink Floyd stroke Emerson Snake and Charmer type of revival” The band YES called ELP Henderson Snake and Charmer and ELP called YES “Maybe”.
Chris Robinson, the black crowes singer said he didn't like Plant's voice lol
"..pantomime pause, .."😂🎉
Jimmy Page homecoming...:p
Geez,, the translations in Japanese are twice as long. Jimmy and Robert look bored out of their skulls.
They boot scooted their asses out of there quick, as soon as it was over, like a race out of chairs & out the door LOL. I’d have loved being a fly hanging close to them, I’d love to know what all they were saying, & in the car when they left.

The interview was inconsiderate of English speaking adults. I guess the glass is half full and you made it through the hour!! Smiles.
