In this video I take a look at John Paul Jones and his stellar contributions to rock legends Led Zeppelin .Sometimes I feel Jonesys get a bit ignored when fans talk about the band with most of the attention going to Plant Page and Bonham . Hopefully this video will show some of what he brought to the table and the superb musician he is .
Heartbreaker isolated bass track • Heartbreaker - Isolate...
Ramble on isolated bass track • Ramble On - John Paul ...

Zeppelin's greatest riff, Black Dog, was written by Jones on a train using a shorthand notation technique that his dad had taught him.

I understand he's a versatile musician, but the very first words in your post is "JPJ is not a bassist" and that statement is definitively incorrect, pretty sure JPJ'd take some offense and answer you in so many words: I AM A BASSIST. @@gtate135

I know why the video cameras/photographers concentrated on Bonham/Plant/Page. Their pyrotechnics were out of the world. But the solid "Rock" which bound them together was that under exposed multi-instrumentalist called John Paul Jones.

@@classicrockalbumreviews19 What I’ve concentrated on intently is the funk section, pre theramin, of the ‘73 tour. It was different most every night. Truly remarkable bass & drum patterns that were basically un-copyable. One of my faves is the WLL from Pittsburgh 24.7.73. Do check it out to hear John’s incredible picking skills. It’s just incredible!

Yep. Fool in the Rain. When that song came out, I remember listening to it on the radio and thinking, 'This isn't Zep!'. But the more I listened, the more I realized what a great song it was, and so much of its greatness is down to JPJ's keyboards. And we're not even talking about his contribution to Them Crooked Vultures.

@Jonathan-us4ig 2 ай бұрын

I'm not sure why people say JPJ is underrated? He's a master of all. Playing whatever needed to be played, killer riffs, excellent moving backing parts. They were four pieces that made a beast. That's why the beast couldn't live with only 3/4 of it's parts.

If youve never listened to Them Crooked Vultures, then please do so. He was in that band with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme. Excellent CD. I was eagely anticipating the follow up but it never came. Doubt it will now. Jones is around 76-77 yrs old and Grohl is dealing with the untimely death of Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters.

That's amazing. It was Muddy Waters' album " Father's and Sons " that inspired me to become a Jazz-Rock Multi-instrumenilist. Phil Upchurch played Bass on that album. I went up to him at the 1989 Namn show in Chicago and told him what I've just told you all. Upchurch said to me; " Yeah, so what are you doing now?" God, what a cold heartless asshole this guy was! And I can smoke him on guitar and Bass. The only reason all these guys are famous and I'm not is because they were born 10 years before I was and that's it.
