Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant admits he has no idea what iconic anthem Stairway To Heaven is all about.
The track is one of rock’s most revered songs – and is banned in many music stores because so many budding guitarists try playing it.
But speaking at a press conference in London today, Plant said: “I struggle with some of the lyrics from particular periods of time.
“The musicality and construction of Stairway To Heaven is peerless. Maybe I didn’t quite feel the same about the lyrics a little bit later on in life, further on down the road.
“Maybe I’m still trying to work out what I was talking about. Every other f****r is!”
The three surviving members – Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones – were back together to promote their new DVD Celebration Day, the film of their 2007 reunion gig in tribute to the late Atlantic Records supremo Ahmet Ertegun.
Drummer John Bonham died in 1980.
