Led Zeppelin - Then and Now Special, MTV 1985 

I do but I also love Jimmy Page.

He's so low profile rock star

It seems badass genius to be famous but not easily recognizable, kman 4443.

That bassline was what drew everyone’s attention to their music

Well, he has sounded that way every time I've heard him speak.

JPJ is one of the best bassists on the planet.

John Paul Jones can play any instrument you give him to play.

Led Zeppelin had 4 heroes who kept the wheels on the tracks. It was said by all three of them; Regardless of who would end like Bonzo, the band would not continue. They were 4 equal integral parts completing as Robert said there: "an Ultimate Unit"...

Let's face it, they would be nothing without Jones and Bonham.

Yea john Paul jones

me 2!

Yes! Someone who actually gets J.P.Jones. Without him I truly believe Zeppelin wouldn't be who they've become. His bass accented John Bohnams drums to create that "Heavy Sound". Noticed in studio tracks like "When the Levee breaks",especially at the end where Plant starts singing "Goin down now". Jones's bass then drops an octave from what he'd been playing for the full song,and it brings goosebumps to my arms. Anyone that doubts what I'm saying...listen to Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same Film,and just listen to Jones's bass during any of Pages Solos. Mastermind Musician as well as the others,but still...Zeppelin wouldn't be as productive if it wasn't for J.P.Jones. Very Humble and Gentle genius he is. Underrated, as alot of bass players are for what they do for bands. Go to a live show,and take the bass away,...that show would suck,no matter who. The Bass is what brings the heaviness to Heavy Rock and Metal.PERIOD!

May be the most talented member overall.

I agree 😍♥️

He aged well because he dont consume drugs as much or maybe didnt

@@20_madeanandharadyadananja6 Dude was a family man back in the day too. Still married to his wife even.

@@neelparekh3448 He's born perfect😇

you do realize hes only like 38 or 39 here ya millenial goof lol 40 isnt old and broken

I love his work on "How Many More Times".

Try the bass line to we're gonna groove. So tasty

Couldn't have said it better!

49 years for me

I was there 1972 www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS854US854&q=led+zeppelin+tours+knoxville+tn+1972&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj4npiv4bzjAhUDQawKHd9BDiwQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=1522&bih=746&fbclid=IwAR15dOrHPqDF_vt6Mc3HDEVTHtUwt-qDcCjNu0XZFSGsNyAlkosz5fHwh-Y

Civic callosum - HE played the Double!!

So true...me too! ❤ it is nice to read how others feel the way I do-

Good train of thought... sometimes the quiet ones are the dangerous ones. 🤫 In a good way!

The Who had John Entwistle

@@cynthia.marina no one cares about The Who

@@patriciasuder1416 Nope. But I is hard not to respect Entwisle's playing.

Kashmir was JPJ s favorite too.

Greatest rnr song ever written, stairway to heaven!!!

Kashmir, Stairway To Heaven and The Rain Song are the best rock songs ever (just my opinion) so if he is remembered by any of those songs it's great

Julie Strauss If you are a commercial radio DJ. It's a good song, overrated and overplayed though

Mark Rago if you separate it from its commercialism, it’s just a great song...I guess it’s a victim of its success ✌🏻

He has gnarly teeth

VEntrriloquist

He’s a Brit

@@dalewetzel773 So am I.

YES SIR THE BEST DRUMMER THAT EVER LIVED STAY SAFE AULONA 😁

Jpj is the wise one....

Agreed!! Jason does his dad proud 🥁💞

Brigette Guilliams Cool, where at? I seen them live in Louisville Ky. in 1977. The best rock band ever, what a show!

@@Johnny53kgb-nsa April, 1977, Chicago Stadium, for me.

MSG June 1977

Really? Who else have you seen?

Saw them in Buffalo, NY [my hometown] in 1973!! I remember it like it was yesterday!! Robert's hair [and bare chest!! lol!], Jimmy's awesome guitaring and Bonzo's drumming!! BTW the whole Aud smelled like pot!!! Awesome!!!

Andrew Smith hahah I was looking for this comment. But he’s still a badass. Used to play while smacked up all the time and was better than anyone else was sober hahah

IS ALL SOME PEOPLE CAN FOCUS ON HE IS HERE ALIVE KICKING ABOUT TO TURN 77 IN JANUARY A PERSONS PAST DON'T DETERMINE THEIR FUTURE STOP BRINGING UP HIS DRUG PAST 😫

@@tiffanycurtis4794 Your Caps Lock is on Tiffany

@@tiffanycurtis4794 and his girlfriend is about 46 years younger than him, so he also aged very well!!! :D

@@marcoviola6741 botox

They had TV back then, and they had their time-consuming equivalents of our smartphones & video games.

dB Music Group not even close, to the distractions have today.

SingleTax try Greta van fleek they are a bit like Led Zepplin listen to them but they dont like getting told they sound like led Zepplin. Very good band tho

Yuk. Greta Van Fleet.

I've never thought of that. Good insight, mate

@Vlodec when I think of bands in my lifetime, I'm 60, only 2 bands come to mind, The Beatles and Zeppelin. Love the stones, floyd, etc, but, Led Zep and The Beatles are IT.

@Vlodec The Beatles never really got into the blues like the stones did. And the stones did it exceptionally well. You can't compare the two. Sometimes I'm in a LZ mood sometimes I'd rather listen to a stones playlist. There really is no best. They're all on my playlist so they all must be great.

No way. LZ is fun food. Stones are gourmet dining.

Hari Khalsa you said it no one has come close, the masters!!!

@Vlodec The beatles definitely couldn't do anything. They never really got into country or blues like the stones did. Also they have very few hard rock songs. While the stones have dozens.

The Firm? What a waste of talent!

I'd argue Lemon Song

Fool in the Rain

Van Halen right after

LionsAllday DETROIT because it may have seemed like a led zeppelin, maybe

@Tama Kennedy You're an idiot

LionsAllday DETROIT go lions. 12-4 when plant son died jones didn’t listen to go to funeral..... maybe a grudge since

Jimmy was fucked out of his head.

Tight but loose...

They were good musicisns and shouldn't be expected to stand up there and play the hits like puppets. Good musicians improvise onstage . If they have the nerve to

JoJo x Because they weren't able to.

@@ryanmcneila1957too bad a really talented instrumentalist like you wasn't around to show them how🖕

HELLO beautiful 😘🇬🇧

ooohhhh yesss they were

Especially live!!😎

John Bonham and Ludwig Drums !

You meant to write Edward Van Halen

Solid on every album

The raw production on that album really brings out his bass

Peanutbutter Imfeelinbetter If I read you correctly I agree every instrument was a lead and a part.

Definitely! Wish I could have seen them

The same in Frankfurt, no Stairway ... thank God

Makes you wonder why LedZep played Philly during Live Aid. If i remember right, the American artists played Veteran's Stadium in Philly, the British artists played Wembley Stadium in London. I wish i was there in Philly that day! Woulda been glorious!!!

nice name ;)

TRUE

absolutely right!!!

Its amazing how bad Page looked in the late 70"s , he should have been @ his peak. He might have died if Bonham didnt. Heck he was only 34 yrs old.

David Orelj Apparently when Zeppelin's road manager heard that one of the band had died he immediately assumed it was Page.

Yea that was Richard Cole when he was in jail.

Yea, that was Richard Cole while he was in prison

That's one of the most retarded things I've ever read. holy shit. Being feminine in the way you dress (Like robert plants "6 sizes too small" shirts) doesn't mean you're a tranny. They are all dudes and never pretended to be female.

Misfitnz8 HELL yeah

Rules what?

@@justjeph6927 rules ALL

canturgan You could write the same about Motown artists, New Orleans Jazz pioneers and Mississippi delta Blues musicians...

I do and probably a lot more people than you could imagine. What an imbecilic comment.

How the fuck does it matter omfg, why do you need an excuse to put in all the big names together.

and

Very cool. Fuck most of the dorks who don't know shit about shit below.

If only their studio music hadn't sucked so horribly bad in the late '70s. Hot Dog!

Hot dog is the peak of music

@@mirror1001 hot dog is humanity's greatest achievement

Yeah, but they always took their music to another level when they played live...masters of improv!!

Gotta whole lotta love 🥰

Scott Rubin I have to agree, tho it's sooooo fucking close for all of them. but plants voice was incredible

Omg ur so lucky wtf

Ah, the good old days, huh?

Do you have stories to tell? I‘d be so glad to hear them, Sir.

Was that in your alternate dimension?

Oh the stories you must hold in your memories

Wow, what a trip! I like the early bluesy Zep best, so 1970 was a perfect time to see them live! Lucky you!

Wait a minute? You experienced that concert on mescaline????! Must have been fun! But i would not try that!props to you!!greets

I’m glad they didn’t diss on one another no matter the reason.. I’m sick to death of hearing FM’s drama through the years like they even thought they were in Zep’s league..

Never knew they played at the Coliseum... did they ever play at Jones Beach?

you mean 25%?

Well, Barriemore Barlow was considered as a replacement for Bonham. Just sayin'

Plant and Bonzo were together before Zep!!!

Dude, he moved on..he's busy with his own music

Bonzo didn't like touring...He wanted to stay home with his family. Plant has talked about it a million times...

Vaughn Greenlee Nobody said anything about Bonzo touring. JASON Bonham is willing to do a reunion tour.

He knew he couldn’t tour singing LZ songs night after night bc his voice progressively deteriorated after vocal surgery starting around 1973. Screeching vocals/constant singing/smoking etc...took a huge toll. He started using loads of echo on his mic, singing in a lower register, and having the audience sing high parts. 1969-1973 his voice was INCREDIBLE but not so much since unfortunately. He is sensible enough to realize his limitations.

Veronica Lake where’d you get the Richard from? He doesn’t have a middle name.

I'll have a short top and sides please

Miami Vice 😂🤣😂

I loved 80s robert..

I loved his 70’s hair

He looked gorgeous 😍
