Jimmy Page was the lead guitarist of the influential British rock band Led Zeppelin, known for such classics as “Stairway to Heaven” and “Whole Lotta Love” (your dad probably loves them).
It seems there are multiple explanations for this seemingly random outburst:
- Outside of music Page has actually shown an interest in architecture.
- From the early 70s to the 90s Page was the owner of the estate Boleskine House, previously owned by occultist Aleister Crowley. It was supposedly haunted by a severed head.
- Could be a reference to Page’s famous recreational drug use, notably of heroin.
- A reference to the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Members of Led Zeppelin rode their motorcycles through the lobby one night. Death Grips stayed in the hotel during the recording of No Love Deep Web.
Also a reference to the Chateau Marmont Hotel, where the short film for the song was filmed.

An odd medieval philosophy of planetary heavens, he’s so far gone that he feels his words echo into worlds beyond.
In addition, considering that echoes tend to happen in empty spaces, this could imply that he’s screaming into a void so large that the echo is interplanetary; alone in the universe.
The lyric should be “e.c.c.o. astral”, as in the late scientist John Lilly’s extraterrestrial coincident correlation office – the later reference to “nosedive to the next life” also relates to Lilly’s fringe experiments in dolphin communication, a theme in the Sega video games about Ecco the Dolphin – where Ecco fights aliens.
