John Paul Jones was a master in every sense of the word. As a bass player, two of my favorite songs are Ramble On and The Lemon Song. Outstanding basslines. Also, the Hammond on Thank You. And in live situations, he could play the organ and the bass on the pedals. The guy was top notch. He just wasn't the flamboyant type. And he preferred it that way. He could live a normal life and go out anonymously without being mobbed by the fans.

[@brucewittig]

You're spot on Felipe!

[@phillthorpe2643]

He is still top notch these days

[@evelyngill5134]

I have always loved the B3 Hammond organ. The sound is like they used to play in church. ❤

[@luvbasses5487]

…I’ve heard him in some interview say, when asked how he dealt with fan adulation and life on the road. His response was “well the first thing I do when checking into a new hotel is establish my escape routes. Then, I can put on a ball cap and glasses and go on unnoticed, unlike Robert and the others.” He seemed to be always one step ahead of everyone else. He was so smart that he outwitted the best of em! I admire him for this.

The piano in rock n roll was played by Ian Stewart

[@modularmuse]

Yeah, I guess Terry wasn't up on the later albums. Jones is just great but give credit where it's due.

[@modularmuse]

I remember a story Jones told of when he started out, he was playing accordion as a lad. His father, a musician, encouraged this more than electric bass, as this was a relatively new instrument. He told his father 'I can get work' and his father was like 'eh?'

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

Page was the unquestioned leader of the band but had the good sense to not only allow but encourage the input of his bandmates. He recognized that they had something to offer. That's what set Zeppelin apart from the other blues rock bands of the 70s. By the mid 70s they'd moved in progressive and alternative territory that influenced lots of bands in the following decades

[@pikiwiki]

The organ on Since I've Been Loving You frames the song in a way that makes the guitar stand out

[@luvbasses5487]

The airship certainly would NOT have gained its famed cruising altitude without John’s immense musical contributions. They identified what it meant to be the ultimate unit.

[@StarCitizenSpeakeasy]

First time on your channel. Great interview!

[@stevends3865]

When a band jells, the music is taken to a new level.

[@HiHello-ku1fl]

I think Stu played piano on the song Rock and Roll. Remember the song Boogie with Stu? Yeah that guy who played piano on that. I think he played with the Stones or something. They were friends.

[@modularmuse]

Ian Stewart was pretty much the extra member in the Rolling Stones.

[@chrishiggins5400]

He did. Ian Stewart played on Rock and Roll and Boogie With Stu. Zeppelin were using the Rolling Stones Mobile. Ian stopped in to see how things were going and wound up jamming with them..

[@glynjones7158]

Stewart was in charge of the mobile studio. Makes sense he was there. The 5th Stone, founding member after Brian Jones.

[@sam65g]

John Paul Jones' bass playing is insanely good.

[@octobersun221]

So perfect and never predictable

[@ministerofdarkness]

John Paul Jones is truly a brilliant songwriter/musician. Led Zep's secret weapon! PLAY LOUD

[@2mdcoe]

Celebration Day. Masterpiece between John Paul and Bonzo.

[@ericbrewer2409]

Black Dog was a John Paul Jones riff.

[@37Dionysos]

I'll take JPJ on "Lemon Song" for bass and "No Quarter" (live NYC) for keyboards.

[@heliotropezzz333]

JPJ could also improvise and follow Jimmy whenever Jimmy was improvising. He could play keyboards and bass at the same time (with his feet). Apart from what you've mentioned JPJ also stands out for the bass in The Lemon Song which varies rhythms and speeds throughout the song..

[@andy65guitar]

I thought Ian Stewart played piano on Rock and Roll?

[@gregdahlen4375]

daniel looks like serj tankian here

[@bdctube]

Zep 1 and 2 ain't the Jimmy show for me......2 is loaded with great bass playing.....Plants vocals on 1 draw your attention as much as anything else and then some......1 had phenomenal vocals.....Maybe during 1 Plant and Bonham were to some degree employees of Jimmy Page, but as performances go, stars in their own write.

[@someman4305]

kinda ironic, this guy makes videos about both nirvana and led zeppelin

[@sagiriizumi8079]

Sure burps a lot

[@cgab12]

Jonesy didn’t play the piano on Rock and Roll.

[@cgab12]

I suspect that it was JPJ who wrote most of the Zeppelin riffs. He and Jimmy must have some type of agreement…

[@paperrocks]

Yeah didn't they plagrize alot of music

[@edwardyazinski3858]

No more than the old blues cats did back when. Forms, lyrics etc... But what Zep did it a million miles away from anything they borrowed from.

[@lippi2171]

They turned random blues songs into 5-10 min rock classics. The riffs, solos, structures were basically all original, probably only the lyrics and vocal melodies were borrowed. You can't really compare Whola lotta love's original to Zepp's version, two different planets. Same with Dazed and Confused. They took the descending chromatic lick but all the rest was new, original and worth playing for 24 minutes live.

[@paperrocks]

@@lippi2171 "borrowed" isn't that another word for plagiarism?

[@fantasycampfilms]

Only a non-musician would accuse them of plagiarism. #1: There's the blues tradition of borrowing from other artists. This was done by early artists like Woody Guthrie & Lead Belly. Then Bob Dylan did it as well. Led Zeppelin was only honoring and paying homage to their forebears. #2: Unlike the piano, there is less freedom of writing on guitar. There are certain chordal motifs that come naturally to every songwriter on guitar, descending patterns and ascending patterns. In the "Taurus" vs. "Stairway" debate, "Taurus" is a very simplistic pattern, that frustratingly, does not resolve. Page took this pattern, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and made it resolve in a unique way, and elevated the sound to a whole new level. You might as well tell Monet he can't use the color periwinkle because Van Gogh used it first! #3: There are only 12 notes in the western scale. With the exponential explosion of popular music compositions in the 20th century and beyond, there are bound to be some overlaps. Get over it!!

[@modularmuse]

Indirectly They heavily reworked some old blues tunes and they had about 5 lawsuits which got settled. It was more by inspiration I think as all the bands including Zeppelin enjoyed jamming to covers every once in a while, especially in the early days. As a result, however, bands like Zeppelin introduced mostly white audiences - mostly in the U.S. - to the rural U.S. blues that they hadn't been exposed to (as radio stations didn't play them) and resulted in what amounted to a boom in record sales which increased the money going to the original artists.
