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
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!!

@@onesonofagun Rock n Roll is fifties and early sixties music, such as Bill Hailey and Elvis. You also have blues, R&B, Heavy Rock/Metal, Prog rock, and Punk Rock, etc. Only wanks, such as Bono, say they're in a rock n roll band, when they're not.
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.

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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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.
2:41 Jonsey says "I came to a party with you guys, somewhere out in the country" RP says "That was Chislehurst Caves" In the country, theyre in South London mate.
What a great interview. Very interesting hearing his thoughts on Punk which fortunately killed off Abba, ELO, and Rod Steward & Elton for quite a few years....
My Dad owned a fish n chippy in the 70's proper ! Convent Garden Camden Market ! Corporate Soulless....our music culture has changed...Loved to visited Middle Earth" before my time in London.
Ah yes Robert Plant " Effortlessly Charming Charismatic And With His " Black Country " Humour " Evident Throughout This Brilliant Interview!!! From Adrian Browne 1965
Who’d have thought this interview possible 20 years ago?. With neither man taking, or wanting to take, any superiority over the other. The wisdom of age. In UK you see, they were both sides of a very huge perceived division. A generational divide, and a musical divide. Now after all these years, they are probably vaguely aware that they are on the same side of a new battle:
I live 2 blocks from In n Out and I’m not Moving 😇. I wonder if Robert has ever tried a s Cheeseburger? I think he really likes You Indian Food & Of Course Fish & Chips 😎🍀🇬🇧🇬🇧
GBH is better than Zeppelin. GBH has so many good albums and were awesome guys and I traded all classic bands for punk bands for a reason. Just better.
plant's had like 5 of those, 7 if you count zeppelin, also his album with alison krauss was no2, no top 10 singles though, they should grill him for that
I was into Punk 79 80s and to hear Plant talk about GBH tells a lot about his adept ability to understand what went on in the Rock and Roll world. Led Zep like other bands in England in the late 60s played cover songs from Blues . Blues revival back in the 80s was big amongst guys like me.
Gtsp777 GBH was just a copy of the Pistols but with less talent. Elvis Costello knew what he was doing when he dipped out of that band. His solo records piss on anything he done with GBH.
@@reindeer-o-stoole I actually stood next to Elvis Costello watching Dave Mc Cartney and the Pink Flamingos at the Windsor Castle Pub mid 80s . Didn't know he had anything to do with GBH.
Valerie Nengnong his first wife was Anglo-Indian, and the Black Country region of England, where he comes from has quite a large British Asian community-lots of good Indian food around there!
Jonesy: I went to a big party you guys once had.... Plant: yea it was in caves we had women wrestling in jello. Jonesy: it was mad.... Plant: it was Great !
Some voice that Plant has distinct in rock!And Zeppelin legend songs that never die seems!Plant on Lydon preGolam...bwhahahahaa! I never knew Zep liked the Damned lol!I really like Jonese jukebox refreshing!

Great story mate and what a memory 👍
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 ❤️🎤🎶😊😘💫
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
Love the story about Lydon and Plant calling him Gollum. Hilarious.
It's a spot on comparison.
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!!
His speaking voice is just as nice as his singing voice. I could listen to it for hours.
Jonesy and Plant cant get much better than this

He never said that you fool
Not a rock n roll band, they were a punk rock band.

Robert singing that song was the best thing I’ve heard since Led Zeppelin. Better than all his solo work.
Planty is a regular on the Black Country music scene. Real as they come.
Still loves his Wolves too
I was just surprised to hear Plant mention GBH!

Me too! Exploited?

GBH are a bloody great band.
Seen them a few times back in the day
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....

Good shout out for The Damned...and they STILL got it !
Here here
Or is it Hear, Hear? Not sure
Mucho Macho the former...
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?
What a great interview from two unexpected people from the same realm
They should form a band, call it Led Pistol or Sex Zeppelin.
@@dirkdiggler6230 Be my guest : )
Zep Pistol
Led pistol is pretty darn good
Sex zeppelin is a great name.

@@rubberneckk so did Mr. Page. He always talked about them in interviews back then.

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.
I've seen Plant wearing several The Doors tee shirts, this interview explains it for me.
I saw him do Break on through in 94, page/plant, he killed it bigtime
Tim Penfield same here, also Light My Fire- I consider myself lucky having seen Page and Plant back then.
@@timpenfield5 👍so did I brother.
@@richardpowell3259 U Cozys P's brother? hahaha
When does he mention The Doors?
Two huge legends here just having a chat about life
Well, one huge legend and one smaller legend.

They sound amazing ! They need to start a band .
Plant 🌱 is an Icon
Wow. This was great.
the giggles are rampant!
This is GOLD! Two blokes just spinnin’...
Wow, Ruby Ruby,,,, at the end... reminds me of Steely Dan, back when they covered it. Good stuff!
Plant is such a raconteur. He can talk up just about anyone it seems, even the guitarist for the Sex Pistols.
Now that's an interview😉
Robert Plant sometimes goes to see local cover bands of Zepplin. He has been known to join in as well, imagine that.
A good guitar player and singer
He mentioned his son was getting married and as that was back in 2005, this interview is almost 20 years old, I believe
2:41 Jonsey says "I came to a party with you guys, somewhere out in the country" RP says "That was Chislehurst Caves" In the country, theyre in South London mate.
Sid Bonkers. Yeah, in Chislehurst no less.
Kent in old money.
@@gordonferrar7782 Correct but not out in the country at least not for the last 200 years ;)

What a great interview. Very interesting hearing his thoughts on Punk which fortunately killed off Abba, ELO, and Rod Steward & Elton for quite a few years....
ABBA and ELO thrived during punk.
Elton had already temporarily retired by the end of 76
Abba and ELO made great music. You can like these bands and still like The Sex Pistols. There are no rules in rock n' roll.
