"Now we're gonna be doing Paranoid, by my band"

[@wildchild01ok]

LMFAO!

[@rbdavisphoto]

wrong dude..this is not Tony Iommi (hint: Tony doesn't have finger tips)

[@NiRo_90125]

Butch Davis also, he is a lefty.

[@FLORIDAERO]

Love it.

[@FLORIDAERO]

@@NiRo_90125 Me too

[@jamesrojas2067]

Tony Iommi, from Metal to Mandolin

[@rbdavisphoto]

Dom Polito..if it were Tony Iommi, there was a time warp. back to the 60s LMAO - not too mention, Tony doesn't have finger tips.

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

Cool to see this, lol

[@robertcronin6603]

😂

[@tonarinototoro2010]

Level 20 bard

[@IncredibleBman1441]

I'm dead

[@GraceAppliance]

You win.

[@reideyler1595]

hello my name is inigo montoya

[@robertpaulson2842]

You killed my father, prepare to die.

[@MRFUSON-uj9bs]

Robert Paulson simply inconceivable

[@robertkistler6227]

little ballerina

[@winupdate7854]

He looks more like Rene Higuita

[@seeqr9]

You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it meansz

[@yaretzicardenasvilla7988]

i didn,t know tony iommy played mandolin

[@rondy702]

+yaretzi cardenas villa Some people are just rooted into the 70's Rock Star image...it's an anachronism; something from a different time and place brought into today's culture! It's all good..different strokes for different folks! Sometimes I don't like appearing so conservative! Good work by the way!!

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

yaretzi cardenas villa Surely he played " Iron Mandolin" ??

[@wildchild01ok]

You fucked up my joke, dude... Then I'll say: OMG! I never thought Kirk Hammett played mandolin! Hahaha xD.

[@samain1804]

Naw...this guys has all of his fingers, dude.

[@robertpaulson2842]

I play mandolin, it's a fucking awesome instrument.

[@dr.awkward9075]

Don't be hating. You know you want that hair.

[@Geotubest]

Nice. I bought my own mandolin pretty much solely because of my love of that song. Hand built in England. It's truly a lovely instrument.

[@thetarotpirate]

Dom Polito friends. The hair is inherited. His entire family has it. And sorry he's no jammer. Plays in one of THE BEST north american touring 'note for note' Led Zepplin acts you will ever hear. He kills on guitar. Jimmy Page bowing technique and all. Nice guy making real work of his skills. From Toronto Ontario.

[@UncleChillGuitar]

Karen Steffen So what you’re saying is that its a hairpiece that the entire family share ?

[@chungadin]

What’s the band name??

[@drgenescottlives]

So what you're saying is that he is the love child of a black-haired standard poodle and Kirk Hammett?

[@gypsymandolin7359]

I thought it was beautiful and masterful. Don't listen to these idiots who are just jealous.

[@tvs3497]

One would assume that JPJ wrote the music to this one, but I've read Page wrote it after picking up Jones' mandolin and came right out with it with Robert conjuring up the lyrics in the mode of "Lord of the Rings". Music can happen spontaneously when a musician picks up a new instrument for the first time and immediately find something to create. The mandolinist here plays this classic superbly. ZOSO forever. Sandy Denny adds her beautiful voice to the song that really brings the tale to life. Would love to see a live version of this with Sandy doing her part. I don't know that it ever happened.

[@jeffkalmar7871]

Wow, did you have a plane to catch? FAST tempo lol!

[@notreallysure9]

Please post a link to a video/tutorial where some one actually teachs on how to play this song, not just zoom through twice as fast as the recording!!!! I would buy this in Mandolin Tabluture/ sheet music - has anyone ever seen it for sale anywhere ? Please post a weblink if you have found it on the web or have found an online retailer who sells the real Mando tab. Thanks in advance to all.

[@billyboy470]

+notreallysure9 it sounds like your not really sure

[@chnacr2]

More like Battle of Ritchie Blackmore

[@starblazer64]

I think we found Jimmy Page's little brother! Awesome demonstration to one of my favorite classic rock songs.

[@umesh3587]

Is this guy avatar of Ritchie Blackmore ??? He just nailed it.

[@battlehrfred]

"Street with no names " (U2) would be nice to hear with this setup ty

[@heikoschroeder8477]

I got to admit that I wasn't sure if it was Tony Iommy or Kirk Hemmett, but nevertheless this guy is doin' a really gooood job! Great video. All the best.

[@ezequielcastells]

kirk hammett playing Mandolin!

[@dirigoelectric]

Ezequiel Castells I thought so for a second

[@arbogash1852]

Exactly I'm thinking, is that Tony Iommi? Is that Kirk Hammett? This guy is the real deal though.

[@healingenso7923]

Just bought my first Mandolin and this is on the to do list.

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

Tony plays Iron Man- Dolin :)

[@Mick-Dempsey]

80's Kirk Hammett got some hidden skills.

[@LizardKing0851]

Awesome work my brother..., I haven't never been able to wrap my head around people that spew negative thoughts. Their statements have nothing to do with your playing.

[@wyliepeyote9810]

Fantastic dude. Seriously fantastic. If you were in Australia I'd be keen to jam. I have a song that needs some solid madolin. Solid 👌

[@robvanlingen8063]

Great song good playing, please can you make a lesson of it ?

[@ctcoolilm]

Reminds me of starting high school an my brother and I got ready for school listening to this album the whole year in 1990. Still sounds new!!

[@joemutt359]

Totally earned the right to bear long curly hair and mustache.

[@UncleChillGuitar]

Summoning the spirits from Mordor in accordance with the dark Lord’s wishes mmmMMMUHUHHAAAAAAHHH!!!👺🍄🌹🌙🌘⚡️💫🔥💥🌪

[@IncredibleBman1441]

These comments are amazing. Also, good cover.

[@duanetalton755]

Dom Polito, you have the true essence of the song here. Great work!

[@rodnyg7952]

i didn,t know frank zappa played mandolin

[@JamesHollands-v7f]

[@1ring2rule3pigs]

Uh-oh....looks like he's plotting to blow up Parliament.

[@btlmania64]

Wow ! that was amazing !!! You play that so well I could listen to it for hours .. Such a haunting and mesmerizing tune ! Well done !

[@DennysFrancisco]

Kirk Iommi playing a Jimmy Page song

[@SCDfamily]

[@bkindglassworks]

Das it!

[@stevepolychronopoulis]

Well that's just fucking awesome.

[@robertpaulson2842]

I need to know what you're doing at 1:25 to 1:35, I already know the rest.

[@bluesque9687]

Definitely needs more urgency in playing!! But 👏

[@johnstitt2615]

Oh dance in the dark of night.....sing to the mornin light.....

[@0x0221]

Awesome playing. You've just inspired me to pick up my mandolin again. Thanks brother.

[@themadhatters8529]

same in the UK in 2023!

[@marcop1587]

When you play exactly the way you look: like a boss 😂🤘🏻

[@annunacky4463]

Not quite right? Maybe Im wrong...

[@sebalyon]

Wow... Dude... You FUCKING rules!!

[@tonyray779]

Greetings, Very beautiful playing, love zeppelin and JPJ mando playing... How is the sound both acoustically and electric, as well as direct recording? I just ordered the MM50E. Very excited to continue my mandolin journey. Best Regards, Tony Ray

[@chipeverettlee6692]

Beautiful job brother how about doing some going to California I bet you that would be cool sounding thanks again have a great day

[@Time.Space.Heal.]

Chris Thile would be proud!

[@ewoe21]

Are you using any effects ? Thanks

[@vampolascott36]

I'm so afraid to order the Epiphone shown here. I've heard so much bad testimony regarding this model. I am thinking that John Paul Jones was playing an even lesser brand than Epiphone at the time. Wondering what people think of the Epiphone and if I should be looking at another brand? I don't give a rat's ass about the expensive Gibson F style. I'm perfectly happy with an instrument that doesn't have this 'over the top' build. I've had bad luck with mandolins so far. Stay away for Gold Tone!

[@tripheath]

House RN.... Mandolin are all about the setup.... Even with a $50 Rogue, they can play nice.... But don't think Gibson is just an overpriced name.... Unless you get a lemon, they are worth every penny.... If you don't play already, get a friend who does too help pick a starter for you..... Then, order a set of Thomastik Infield flat wound strings, which will cost more than the mandolin, online,(because you can not find these in a store), then,..... Take those strings with you & "get a true professional set up by a Luther" which will cost more than the mandolin... Then play at least an hour a day for a year... And then you can grow your hair out, get a perm and make some you tube vids.... Hehe..

[@tat2zz68]

[@TheD736]

I feel like I'm watching a fucking magician

[@chungadin]

[@scrapcrafter]

[@mandolinistshamik]

Outstanding brother :)

[@miguelangelreyes5162]

Tony Iommi-kirt Hamet fusion

[@azaaritepriestess8746]

I clicked this cause you look like Tony Iommi tbh

[@natereid2144]

Say hello to my little friend

[@mukhumor]

Cool. Lovin' yer work.

[@leonardolsmathias]

Plays like Jonesy, looks like Higuita

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

Wow, Charles II plays the mandolin

[@GBPaddling]

Iommi Santana...

[@bdwillis8284]

All this time I never knew Tony Iomie could play the mandolin right handed! ! Great Job!

[@battlehrfred]

I was wondering "exactly what he has this Mandolin hooked up too also?? I must Admit it does sound superrrrr.!! wow!!, can some person/Musician tell me what he has it plugged into?? Also,I would love for him to play "Street with no name" by U2 with this Ephiphone MM-50E mandolin!! with these added plugin boxes!! SWEEEEEEEET

[@johnkulpowich5260]

Thanks. Nail. It

[@frankphillips7436]

Cudos man! What an awesome job! I play a little bit of guitar and I don’t understand how anyone can play on such a small neck but there you are doing it!!

[@awadaawada6738]

my 2nd favorite zeppelin song

[@matthewsaldanha1438]

what's your first?

[@awadaawada6738]

Mathias Saldanha that would be the rain song. (i know what you're thinking: omg, this guy has no social life, all he does is watch KZbin, look how fast he replied. I do have a social, i just happened to be using my phone right now)

[@matthewsaldanha1438]

+Average Consumer Hell no man, I get that haha. Sometimes I don't get a reply for months so I dig that you replied quickly. I love The Rain Song, John Paul Jones' piano toward the end ("I felt the coldness of my winter...") is just uplifting and beautiful. Have you seen their concert film "The Song Remains The Same" yet? If not, well worth a watch. They do an excellent montage for that song. It'd be on KZbin actually, but I always prefer DVDs. I think you're lucky to be able to name a definitive favourite Zeppelin song though, I still can't do that haha.

[@awadaawada6738]

Mathias Saldanha yeah dude, the song remains the same is a must watch, the rain song is amazing, the chords are just amazing to say the least, and Robert plant's orgasm equivalent of singing is amazing too, and the song is definitely uplifting, so yeah i am proud to call it my favorite.

[@MartinSoundLabs]

could not agree more, as well with your first... in fact gotta relearn Rain Song again...

[@monkeesfan1965]

ever thought of teaching us that? its anazing

[@tonyb8660]
