A very Happy 78th Birthday John Paul Jones. Born John Richard Baldwin. January 3, 1946. Sidcup, U.K. He's never had a rock star persona. Instead, he's soft spoken, shy and has always been modest when it comes to Zep's influence on modern rock music. Cheers mate and many more..

@francus7227 11 ай бұрын

The glue part is factually incorrect. Peter Grant was the glue. The "by far" part is a real stretch. Show me anything JPJ played that Page couldn't. Page was the writer. He was also a more sought-after sessions musician than J.P.J before Zep. Better? Maybe. "Far better"??? Highly doubtful. Better than Bonzo? Who's the best bass player? You get 20 answers. Who's the best drummer? You get two answers and most of the time it's Bonzo. Better? Maybe. Far better? Again, doubtful. So...... The only part you got right is the "deserves more respect." But, that was his doing. He liked being quiet and out of the party scene. Notice the wedding ring in this clip. Same one he's always worn.

You could see it in Paul's eyes, that look of ''What have I just done!?''. He thought he knew what he was getting into before they sat down and then half way through he was realizing what that performance meant to that crowd and it blew his mind as John just kept on throwing out melodic gold at him. I've seen a lot of footage of both of these guys in different settings but none where you can tell Paul is literally freaking out or where John is so comfortable and playing as if the last piece of tape on earth is rolling in record.

Musical genius doesn't even begin to describe JPJ. Unbelievable talent. The talent of each member of Zep is still hard to fathom 40 years after their tragic ending. They knew that no one could replace Bonzo, so they just called it a career. The only analogy I can think of is Zep was like a finely build Lamborghini that lost one of it's original wheels and ground to a halt. Could not go any further on 3 wheels.
