To be clear… listen to a dozen Zeplin songs… and remove John Paul Jones contributions…. Great Guitarist… great drummer….but absolutely…. NOT ZEPLIN…. No Quarter…with out JPJ… the is no color… This Song for Evermore…and all of the songs with Mandolins, Futes and Rhodes…PLUS… a great bass player… Without JPJ… we don’t have the Zeplin Sound… Why am Inwriting this? Because Plante and Page didn’t include Jones in most work after Zeplin…. Oh…. Name a killer product that Plante and page did after JOJ.
Sorry you feel that way. This song is amazing to millions of Zeppelin fans. Most ALL bands have great songs that don't include all members. It doesn't mean that those members didn't contribute. As a bass play for nearly 50 years, I've always been a fan of JPJ, but him not being in this song doesn't mean I don't feel his influence.
@@cygnus6623 oops…. MY poor communication…He absolutely IS… IN THIS SONG… every time we hear those “ dark ages / mythical village “ motifs / sounds/ references… THAT…IS….John Paul Jones… JPJ …IS….the coloration that lifts Zeplin out of “Just a Great Blues Rock Band”…. And turns their work into masterful stories. Yes Bonham Plant and Page are “ones do a kind”… but JPJ …MAKES…. THE ZEPLIN SOUND …mystical. Plantes words referenced Vikings and Kings and Hobbits. JPJ cemented those allusions.
