Members flipcycle john Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Was listening to this live whilst finishing our rehersal room down on the farm. Such a great live sound and phat mix. He can still hit those high notes, not bad for someone touching 60! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassballs Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm probably one of the biggest Zep fans in HCBF but, I will not support Robert Plants solo efforts ever since he made that comment about John Paul Jones during an interview before the Page and Plant tour...

Members bassballs Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by Rowka BB, what comment was that? Plant was being interviewed before the Page & Plant tour started. When Plant was asked what JPJ is up to these days he replied "Probably parking cars" I read on JPJ's message board by various posters on the site that Plant made a private apology to JPJ. According to posters on that site JPJ is waiting for a public apology since Plant made the comment public he believes the apology should be public as well. JPJ has posted responses to posters asking him questions on his site. However, he has repeatedly skirted this question when asked. There is a bit of histery between Plant and Jones... During an interview with JPJ not too long ago he was asked what it was like with the other Zep members during the Zep days. He responded with telling what his relationship was with each member. When he got to Plant his response was, "We exchanged our annual Christmas card, that was about it except for when we were touring, recording or writing material."

If that's the case then Plant's a moron!!! He owes is entire career to JPJ, who was without question the musical genius behind Led Zeppelin. Plant calling himself The Mighty Re-Arranger like he is is a joke since the original Mighty Arranger was JPJ himself. Without JPJ there would be no Zeppelin.

Members Bonoman Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by bassballs +1 JPJ was the cofounder of Zep with Page... Not only was the co-founder, he wrote the music - everything but the riffs and guitar solos were from the brain of JPJ. Just because he was a little quieter and less flashy than Page or Plant this gets overlooked, but he really was the musical genius behind the band. Never mind the bass, he played every instrument that wasn't lead guitar or drums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He IS the reason I started playing bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xvertirx Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hey I love Led Zep (except they're way overplayed on the radio and it ruins my listening experience.) Anyways, I've listened to my fair share of Led Zep LIVE stuff and seriously I am not just saying this---John Paul Jones holds the songs together when Led Zep played live. If you listen to led zep live, Jimmy Page usually is doing some crazy stuff on guitar and sometimes he sounds like he's out of tune and not in time and just going off into some other existence--which is actually cool. While Page is going nutso and Plant is wailing away and John Bonham is doing some crazy fills, John Paul Jones is holding down a rock solid deep phat sounding bass line that just hold the frames and the foundation of the song together while mostly Plant and Page try to tear the house down. I love tghe song "No Quarter" and I love TOOL's version of that song--especially Justin Chancellor's bass on that song is awesome. John Paul Jones also plays the keyboards:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above staement is absolutely correct. JPJ was the ONLY consistant member night to night. It was really weird how Page and Plant almost never had an "on" night at the same time, it was almost like they intentionally traded back and forth.

Members Gaui Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Saw Plant and his new band, the strange sensation about 3 weeks ago, good show but no zeppelin. Also some of the new songs where total crap, rocknroll Yanni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
