Agree!!!

Yep, certainly one of their most ambitious songs, and a complete success.

I might agree. It's hard to have a choice. But omg, this is a really high quality set of stems.

Right on Ted

Up there with Black dog, Kashmire, and When the levee breaks

Megadeth too, imho

In my humble opinion, as good as JPJ's bass work on Ramble on is, this is his absolute best. In the song it feels like he is playing music with bullets. Those bass thumps literally makes the song.

And The Musical Box by Genesis

The reason I bought a Jazz bass back in 1991

or fingers…

absolutely. Could've perfectly been a metal song too. Perfectly executed simplicity.

"As soon as I heard John Bonham play I knew this was going to be great. We locked together as a team immediately." -Jones recalling the first time the band met and played together

Yeah, it's freaking unbelievable man, it really is!

With this song John Paul Jones is the creator, together with Jimmy Page, of the pattern and format from which all Iron Maiden albums would emerge.

@@JC-vj4ln Good comparison, both Zep and Maiden share some influences leading back to the early British prog rock/folk rock scene - even if they are mainly hard rock bands - and it comes through in their songwriting and musicianship.

As great of a musician that JPJ was/is his stage presence didn’t exactly scream for the cameras attention. He’d stand inside the same 3 ft diameter circle for an entire 3.5 hour show with this face 😑 I too would’ve liked to have seen the more Bonham though.

@ezsmith3765 ha, that's a fair point. I think he was happy to play and didn't need to showboat. In my opinion JPJ had the best seat in the house, watching the drums! 🥁

@@ezsmith3765 Legend has it he tapped his right foot once about halfway through performing this song at Knebworth in 1979.

Yes! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

That's bass pedals and Clavinet.

Also the best keyboard and mandolin player lol.

Ron Carter and Tony Williams, Miles Davis 2nd Great Quintet.!!!

@@sirjer73 in rock/hard rock world nobody could touch bonzo and jonesy

for me it was "nobodys fault"....the rest is history

I heartily second that! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Yes indeed, superb chemistry :;) - or Squire and White on The Gates of Delirium (I haven't heard any isotrax from that one but it's not really needed, the brilliance of Alan White's drumming on that album is too obvious).

Great comment.... but at the same time, it's heresy!

Yes, I think it was Dave Grohl who commented about this one: "you can tell Bonzo is taking some chances here, he's pulling at the gears and playing without a safety net". :)

Agreed , I also hear Baracuda .

Demucs4, you can find the source code around the web on GitHub

@@mirkovisi6367 I agree this is one of LZ's better performances, but learning that these two tracks are somehow extracted from (I assume) the final stereo mix in software and not copies from the studio multitrack, i.e. the individual drum and bass tracks, well that eclipses the musical performance in my opinion. It's unbelievable that a software package could do that so well. I mean, the tracks are kind of phasey and not studio quality, but still, considering what is actually accomplished by that software is nothing short of amazing. Great job on this and the other tracks you posted!

I think that's their funkiest tune outside of the Crunge, which was a James Brown sort of tribute.

Now that's a jam fest

JPJ is a better musician than Entwistle.

@@slave2tyranny But later... hence the influence. Not a comparison. JE could hold his own on bass, but JPJ plays alot of instruments, all 'virtuosotically'.

On this song, JPJ uses an Alembic 8-string bass with a pick. The 8 string king of gives the effect of a guitar and bass playing the same line. He DOES have that aggresive tone that guys like Entwistle and Chris Squire were already employing. Before this record, JPJ's tone was very traditional.

Not long enough!

There's a pretty expensive audio editor that does this, I think it came out around 2020. Sorry, don't remember its name or if it's Mac, PC or both. But I know even with its groundbreaking technology, it still isn't easy to get this quality isolation on every song. Some songs require a lot of editing & tweaking and I read it's a difficult program to learn. Google should be able to figure out its name.
