Played rugby against Robert Plant in 1985!!! Plant lived near to Monmouth and sometimes turned out for his pub team. We were from Abergavenny. It was a Sunday morning. Pub rugby, everyone was pissed. Everyone was saying “that’s Robert Plant!!!” Fuck me. I was 16 and spoke to him afterwards. We all did. He looked good. Tight leather jeans and cool shirt. Thin, but he got stuck in. We tackled him, but he didn’t care. Loads of respect for him. Legend
I don’t think any other person on earth has giving me so much joy and happiness than this man Robert Plant. I had the great honor and privilege to see Led Zeppelin in 71,72,73,and final time 3/5/1975 in Dallas still have my ticket stubs and they are my prized possession.
Parris Gjerde Yes and quiet the diplomat as well, if you listen to audio of some of those 70’s Led Zeppelin concerts with everything from fireworks to fights Robert would always find a way to Handel the situation.
My goodness are you lucky. I'm so envious. No man in the world could hold a candle to Robert in the 70s. Just beyond gorgeous. The hair. The face. The chest. The jeans. Good Lord what a man.
Jacqueline A. Graham Yes, the whole band had charisma beyond belief Robert Jimmy JPJ and of course The Hammer of The Gods John Bonham I never see anything like it but so thankful Robert Plant is still here and still the best. Oh PS if you want to get a little taste of what it was like to be there live my final show (audio only) is on RUclips 3/5/1975. Dallas Tx. Good luck Best Wishes.
Me too, saw led zep at trentham gardens, stoke on Trent, early 70s. also saw the who there, roger daltry came to the queue and spoke to us, then i met Keith moon in the toilets and had a brief conversation with him while standing next to him at the urinal !
Robert is just so funny, charming and endlessly fascinating. Love the sound of his voice, singing and speaking. I could listen to him for hours and never get bored. What a great guy.
I’d spread that region way further. There were a handful of exceptionally good rock n roll singers “in the WORLD”. It’s hard to argue his wasn’t “the best” in the business.
I once heard Robert talking about Wolves and suddenly he stopped being a rock superstar. He was like any other fan, reeling off the players names and providing a critique on their latest performance. A real legend.
John Monk 3 minutes ago Hi there, Charles! Kenny boy, here, of Livermore (bay area), Californy. Hey'O, Bob Pot of Black Country, & Manager Big Dave in England. A fully fledged, proper Indian breakfast sounds righto fantastic: 1) tarka dal 2) saag bhaji 3) couple of roti 4) chicken chaap starter I've just eaten dinner but startin' right in on this breakfast... NOW! Cheers! Matees!
That was such a great story. I could envision it my mind ... Johnny Rotten trying to take the piss out of the "big rock star" who had come to the pub!!
For me the finest interview to get the point across of how things were in '76/'77 in the early Punk days. Two genuine down to earth geezers getting it on. Live Jammin' Plant & Jones. Made my day. Classic.
Saw Robert live a few years ago. He was brilliant. Great show. Finally got to see him, I had tickets back in 80, but then Bonham passed. Decades later, finally had the chance and took it.
Like Plants improvising, he was always good, at that scat style, + the Elvis in him, comes out a lot, when he swings, out them low tones, Robert is one of the best, cover song singers ever.
@@mj.l Plant,(my Swedish wife's favorites) mine being Agneta from ABBA and Blondie's Debbie Harry, as well as Jimi Hendrix AND Jim Morrison, real GENIUS men who were loved by real smart women who do you like??? One Direction's pussy boys???
Loved the Pistols at the time. Someone had to do it and Britain had some great punk bands, but I've loved Zep since early 70's. They're still in my top five all time! Great interview. Jonesy found his calling. Happy for the geezer.
The papers won’t be happy. They always wanted the kids to fight. Did rave make it better, nirvana dance music. Or did it kill it because it s definitely dead. Pop ate itself. And Clint does soundtracks.
Wow! I knew Jonesy's Jukebox had a run in the noughties but didn't realise there were all these gems (also enjoyed the Pete Townsend one that was uploaded recently). Guess they weren't filmed around this period but every time it's gold. Well done Steve. Take care of yourself. We need you!!! x
Punk hatred towards Zeppelin was over the top actually it was part of Punk posing and to see them two together after all this years is reality. How can you not like Robert and Zeppelin? It’s stupid.
I have all of Zep's albums but, the two shows that I saw in 1977 were close to the worse shows that I have ever seen. I will admit, that Jimmy Page sure could make a record sound great (no big secret, but the first Zep record is still extraordinary sounding 50 years later.)...Chris Thomas's production of the Pistols album is also stellar.
It is absolutely incredible to hear Robert talk about punk rock & the knowledge he has about all types of music in general. I really can't believe he mentioned G.B.H an American hard-core punk band is incredible.
I've loved Robert Plant since I first heard him.. around about the time my profile pic was taken. 44 years ago. 😄. I'm such a fan, that when I grew up, I had a son that, by appearance , looks like he could be Robert Plant's twin! 😄 He's a musician too.
I really like the Welsh countryside when i was there. A guy at the record store said that the Priory O Brian had just played a few days before I was there in Conwy. The mountains to the south were so Lord Of The Rings -like i couldnt believe it. Wales is Great !
ryan almond I was lucky enough to meet Pagey at a Stereophonics gig I was photographing...he was a lovely man,it was just before Xmas about 05’ and he was lamenting that although his house had been in the market for two years,it had just sold and he had to move out in two weeks,by Xmas...it seems everyone has the same problems at some level ! He also told me the Dave Berry single,the crying game,reputed to be the first use of a wah,wah in vinyl,was actually a D’ahmond Swell pedal...the one that goes sideways..should have known this as my dad actually had one ! Now defunct of course !...Great Bloke .
@@joelfildes5544 i have never met anyone in led zep in person. however i have known alot of people that did like yourself. i have been here online for a long time just being a fan and supporter for years . its been one of my dreams to meet them .
I love your show. You have the best interviews. Glad you are doing great. I love your laugh. I’ve started laughing like that. Hee Hee !!! I’m from Nashville. So Hee Hee fits right in. Keep up the great interviews . Thank you.
Robert has spent the last 50 years bullshitting everyone, but he gets away because of his intelligence. He knows EXACTLY how to play the game! He is the same if you have a eer with him. I have had quite a few with him in Camden, London.
This is the most forthcoming I have heard Plant on the early days regarding the scene around LA and the band. Most times he is very coy when talking about those years.
When I was a child and got my first record player, my mother gave me a bunch of her 45's and 'A Town Without Pity' was one of them. I loved that song. Years later I discovered Led Zeppelin which was my favorite band of all time!! And I had such a huge crush on Robert Plant (yeah, me and millions of other girls). Wanna play 'can you guess how old I am'? 😁😁😁
Planty turned up for a pint where i guy i know was behind the bar. He was a massive Zeppelin fan but said nothing to him. On the next occasion Plant came in he plucked up the courage to say you're robert plant. Plant said I am You had me on your t shirt....LOL 😊
Go Jonsey, That was a great interview. Where I come from it was pie and green mashed peas. A "Pie Flota" Everyone loved going to the pie cart for one of them when they could or they were repulsed by it. But with a fresh quality pie they were pretty good.
thanks for posting this mate, fan of jonesy's jukebox and never heard this one. great interview, one of the ones that you'd think wouldn't work but it's just like two mates shooting the shit - as all the best jonesy interviews are. pity it's not longer tho
Guess i read too few Zep interviews then, but it was a real good band, started listen to them some after hearing Communication Breakdown with The Dickies
My mums from the black country and the people are really down to earth like Plant is. He's one of the few that's gone back to his roots but that's not a bad thing.
Saw him in Ottawa last September. He still sounds great. His voice has matured well. He’s talented enough to know how to sing and fit his vocals to his voice perfectly

Wow wow wow
I tells you volumes about the man!
Love this anecdote. Classic.
Yes. He lived at The Argoed near Monmouth for a few years and recorded solo albums at Rockfield Studios.
Robert Plant is brilliant! So down to earth and gifted. Wow…he was the soundtrack of my youth. Much respect ❤️🎤🎶😊😘💫

Great storyteller. Always been great with the onstage banter in-between songs too, still to this day!
@@konstantinov agreed! Robert's a true treasure.
I love listening to Bob...Pagey is a bit boring though...
Would love to hear Robert and Bowie converse together.
So glad jonesy 's still with us , such a diamond geezer. Hope he's eating well and exercising etc. Plant is a great guy too
Jimmy Page once said the Pistols were one of the best Rock n Roll bands he ever heard, god bless these two legends, long live
He never said that you fool
@Matthew Philip where dya think the rock part in punk rock comes from? Rock n roll :)
That must have been before Sid
@@vitavomloehberg Sid is a legend. The instantly recogonisable face of a generation and movement.
@@grrr.9998 But couldn't play... a junkie that called his whatever she was. What a cool legend indeed....
His speaking voice is just as nice as his singing voice. I could listen to it for hours.
Man, Robert has such musical talent in his voice. Wonderful singer still to this day.
I met him a few years ago ,so down to earth ,no ego crap at all ,if he can stay humble through immense success everyone should .
Robert Plant is a class act, old school gentleman who’s singing voice was the best to ever come out of the uk. A living legend.

Love the story about Lydon and Plant calling him Gollum. Hilarious.
It's a spot on comparison.

Two great rock icons just chatting....seems like any one of us could sit down and blend right in! And Mr. Plant is still very Cool....
Love how Jonesy interacts with his fellow Brit rockers, real camaraderie.
"If you get too big for your environment you're never gonna' fit anywhere."
Story of my life..hahahaaaaaa😣😁
That was great! Robert still got it! Awesome jam!
Great jam at the end... Awesome. Some of the better vocals I've heard from Plant in his later years.
This is just brilliant. Made even funnier with captions on. Thanks for the upload!
Priceless. Thanks for posting this.

marcia shiraishi “Not Even..!”
How fkin cool that Jones and Plant play music together at the end of this vid. Two legends
Finally cementing that bridge between Zeppelin and punk and proving it wasn't that long of a bridge after all.
The papers won’t be happy. They always wanted the kids to fight. Did rave make it better, nirvana dance music. Or did it kill it because it s definitely dead. Pop ate itself. And Clint does soundtracks.
Never gave it "don't you know who I am " that's why people still admire them.
He said to one guy who pissed him off ( I read in a book) you'll never work in this town again Haha
So funny and so heartwarming to hear these two old stagers mucking about...that's rock'n'roll....
This is a gem. Thanks for uploading!
I heard Jonesy in an interview after this on how much he enjoyed hanging with Robert. He said he was a great guy!
A genuine talk between two English chaps! Brilliant!
This is gold dust. Who will there be to interview in 30 years. Nobody. These guys are truly legendary. Now there's nothing.
So true Paul....
Two of the most down to earth rockstars on the planet. Love 'em both.
roger dat
@TheRaokenx how would you know?
Robert singing that song was the best thing I’ve heard since Led Zeppelin. Better than all his solo work.

Zeppelin did Punk long before "Punk" was a thing. Communication Breakdown is as Punk as it gets.

It is absolutely incredible to hear Robert talk about punk rock & the knowledge he has about all types of music in general. I really can't believe he mentioned G.B.H an American hard-core punk band is incredible.
GBH are British
Planty is a regular on the Black Country music scene. Real as they come.
Still loves his Wolves too
Love it! Greatest interview in a long time
Thank you! Totally thrilled listening to them. Their voices sound great❤
A couple of buddies just shooting the shit about good ol times, absolutely great musicians, the best
Robert Plant is the best!
I was just surprised to hear Plant mention GBH!

Me too! Exploited?
Birmingham band
GBH are a bloody great band.
Seen them a few times back in the day
That voice!! (Swoon) ❤️

When Plant sings Ruby here it sounds like Honey dripper era plant to me. This was 15 years ago as this is 2020 now.
Honey Drippers 1985
This interview was 15 years ago perhaps?
Very different artists, these guys - both made stuff near and dear to me.
Robert has spent the last 50 years bullshitting everyone, but he gets away because of his intelligence. He knows EXACTLY how to play the game! He is the same if you have a eer with him. I have had quite a few with him in Camden, London.
What a great interview from two unexpected people from the same realm
This is the most forthcoming I have heard Plant on the early days regarding the scene around LA and the band. Most times he is very coy when talking about those years.
Probably knew Jonesy would know whats what anyway
& dusnt rememba the parties but remembas the 1 Jonesys talkin bout in the caves with fine detail
The "Lori" Percy referred to was "Baby Groupie". Thank God he didn't mention the mud shark incident.

2005 interview, but yes he does. ♡
