Keith Richards has made it clear that while Jimmy Page has earned his respect, the rest of Led Zeppelin did not fare as well in his eyes. Richards has often expressed disdain for the band, finding the other members intolerable.

This admission of Page being the driving force behind Led Zep’s success was about as much praise as he was willing to hand out: “As a band, I felt aptly named, it never took off for me musically,” he once said. “At the same time, Jimmy Page is one of the best guitar players I’ve ever known. Bonham was a hell of a powerhouse drummer, although I think he’s kind of heavy-handed, myself — that’s when the ‘Led’ comes in,” Richards added when answering fan questions on his website in 2004.

 

 

His harsh words have not softened with age, and remarkably, his tongue has only sharpened. Years later, Richards dismissed Led Zeppelin as “hollow” as recently as 2015. “I love Jimmy Page, but as a band, no, with John Bonham thundering down the highway in an uncontrolled 18-wheeler,” he said. “He had cornered the market there. Jimmy is a brilliant player. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it, you know?”
