RY: How about the Doors?
JP: Actually, I was surprised after hearing a lot about the Doors and we got a lot of advance publicity in England about how sexy Jim Morrison was, how virile and whatever. I was surprised to see how static he was live on stage. I admire his writing ability and when he gets it together in a studio, he really does. But on stage, he’s not really for me.
He doesn’t really come across in any way like I’d like to see. Being dressed in black leather can only go so far but standing there like my father would on stage doesn’t really come across for me.
RY: What do you think of the opinion that Robert Plant copies Jim?
JP: How could he have done? They’re completely different. If you want to relate Robert to a sexual image … and a lot of people are doing that, he’s all those things one would associate with it. He’s good looking (I’m not saying Jim isn’t), he’s got the virile image, he moves very well on stage and he looks right and he sings well—his whole thing is total sexual aggression.
As far as I could see, the Morrison thing is just an embarrassment towards the audience. He would actually insult them and swear at them and his sexual thing is more of an introvert thing—it isn’t so extroverted as Robert’s.
