"If you don't have a reason for playing a note, then don't play it". FUCKING BRILLIANT!
JPJ is, without a doubt, Led Zeppelin's secret weapon.....!
Bonham was a little more obvious assault weapon haha! But you're right, JPJ is knowledgeable and fun!
got chills when he played 'Black Dog'
release the kraken!
Page was so smart to mix Zep's records so bottom-heavy, to accentuate, Jones' impact.
They were all secret weapons ! best ever , each of them in their own measure
John Paul Jones is so freaking awesome that we Catholics named TWO Popes after him!
Truly a deity
And a pirate.
Otávio Werson Yago yes!
One was renowned for enjoying the company of young boys...
Best comment ever! Lol
Only this guy could make an unplugged bass sound that amazing, in 240p to boot.
amen, Jonesy would sound amazing even at 140p.
John Stuart does it really sound amazing, really?
@@flowerdoodle2438 What IS the point of this comment? If it sounds amazing to John Stuart, it sounds amazing to John Stuart. Can't you just live with that without having to challenge him? I mean, are you ok? Is there something you want to talk about?
Fraser McAllister lol!! I guess you’re right. I just get tired of hyperbole
@@flowerdoodle2438 Hyperbole ? ...havent heard that one before.
WTF is the meaning of that ?
Peace Bro
When JPJ admitted that part of "Ramble On" was hard that totally made my day.
CAN EVERYONE JUST APPRECIATE HOW COOL IT IS THAT HE DID THIS
+Lil y IT'S RADICAL :)
I like him and Jimmy, but does anyone think Jimmy would go one on one with an interviewer,when I saw The Film in '86 Page hardly ever would face the stage head on.Like he was scared someone would steal his licks.Jones seems to be more open nowadays than his Zeppelin days.I know he liked being anonymous,so he could go out in public and not be bugged by fans of Zeppelin.
Absolutely
Cary West John is smart for that
It’s awesome that he did this
I love how he starts playing Ramble On when he's talking about What Is And What Should Never Be
What an intelligent Renaissance man. I could sit through a 40 hour interview with this guy. He’s always calm, composed, humble and no malarkey at any time.
How can you not love this guy. A true legend and so humble and genuine.
I'm totally with you. John Paul Jones was an integral part of Zep. Absolutely NOBODY would have been right for the band. He did a lot more writing and arranging than he gets credit for. His bass parts are unbelievably cool, not to mention his skills on the mandolin and keyboards, and of course his ability to arrange for strings, etc. The proof of the pudding is that when Page/Plant tried to do it without him, it really was not the same. The guy is a true musician of the highest caliber.
I love what he says about NOT playing. Pauses. Leaving gaps and silence. So important in funk, and reggae, but also rock n roll. It gives groove, adds dance-ability. Genius!
He's very funny too. :)
3:27 well now I know why 'Whole Lotta Love" sounds so powerful.
I hope this never gets taken off the Internet. This video is gold.
Jpj is the most musically gifted member of Zep. An awesome bass player, keyboard and guitar
JPJ admitting that part of ramble on was hard made my day.
My all time favorite bassist... I wish we had RUclips back when I was a kid.
the best bass player that is still living!
Super bass player and arranger. Humble and witty. Kept away from the BS of being a rock star and kept pursuing his musical vision. An inspiration to any musician.
Incredible, he is so cool for such a legendary rock star. Such a humble guy. Amazing Musician.
John Paul Jones is such a cool talented bassist and piano player of Led Zeppelin, he is the most underrated of the whole band. A lot of respect to him. from a bass player to another, cheers John! :D
You forgot keyboards and mandolin and everything else in between! ;)
Dont forget the Recorder :)
Indeed, JPJ is a multi instrumentalist!
In Zep he was an island of talent and calm, sometimes surrounded by chaos. I luv his talent, intelligence, wit, and the way he explains his magical musical gifts. My fav Zeppian. 🎶💙🎶
@@sherrieteller4779 Piano - Keyboard. Tomato - Potato.
I almost cried! That was my idol! John Paul Jones! Led Zeppelin!!
This Man is one of the BEST musicians in the 20th Century ..
(maybe of all times) because he is so Multi talented and gives much Led Zep Songs the "point on the i" together with John Henry Bonham they are the DEFINITIVE BEST Rhythm group In Rock History !!
His Keyboards in "No Quarter" are PURE GENIUS .
Genius !
15:08 "Some fills can be silent" - great name for a book
Time for some current Love for John Paul Jones. It’s June 2019... and he’s still... and always will be... a Badass! Thanks for everything, Sir!!!
This should never be taken down. It contains golden nuggets that don’t require high quality video... or even an amplifier to shine brightly for the plucking. This is how a gentleman who has reached the highest pinnacle in the Music business... behaves when he owns his ego... and not the other way around. Many diverse things to be learned here. Love...
Best musician in the band as far as I'm concerned.
All the best groups have talent plus meshable personalities for them to be legendary. Like George/Ringo, John Entwistle, Bill Wyman/Charlie Watts. They are cornerstones whereupon the front people build their castles. Cheers.
Without doubt
disagree. he was a jack of all trades. but Page was a wizard and the man with the musical vision. Bonzo is probably the greatest rock drummer of all time, so he was equally talented at his respective instrument. i think all 3 were pretty equal... but Jimmy Page was THE man.
There were a few nights where Page wasn't up to par, Yet Jonesy was always rock steady and unfailing.
Nostatic Atall Saw an interview where Jimmy said JPJ was the key to the band
The baddest ass bass player. The Lemon song showcases my point exactly. Led Zep's THUNDER and BOTTOM...and on keyboards,piano, mandolin,etc., etc.!!!!!! "In the light" from physical graffiti has the trippiest keyboards ever!!!!! Badass to the 'nth degree and then some!
Listen to 'Good Times Bad Times', isolated bass. An absolutely amazing line from the first album recording in 68.
New bass player here and huge Zep fan. I just have to give a shout out to him. I've played guitar for 30 years and just recently stepped in because our cover band didn't have a bassist. Holy shit! I never realized not only how good JPJ was/is but how integral he was to all the songs! Mass kudos John Paul! LOve you and you made me love Zep even more.
His bass lines are AMAZING!
A Great Great Musician , Pagey Wanted him in His Band , because of his experience and Genius .
John Paul Jones .
All hail the wonderful Mrs Jones, who made JPJ call Page up to apply for the bassist role, when they knew he was setting up LZ … god bless that woman.
This interview is remarkable, JPJ just lays years of experience, skill, and insight, all out there, in front any musician smart enough to grasp it. His contributions to making every single Zep song unique can't be overestimated.
I'M A BEGINNING BASS PLAYER,
AND TO LEARN FROM JOHN PAUL JONES ON RUclips IS EXTRAORDINARY!!!!
That man right there is an icon. Was as much a part of modern music as anyone. Definitely shaped the Led Zeppelin style and experience. Nice guy too 👍
THis was shot back in 1999, where your camera options weren't what you would call "state of the art" today.
No need to explain. It’s Great 👍
John Paul Jones Rules! He's one of the greats; also he has an awesome technique.
listen to the punch of the jazz bass thats not plugged in.finding new ones that sound like this is very rare.what a killer sounding bass
That might be a replica of his 62 jazz bass.
I loved playing JPJ bass lines in the 60's and 70's, his fills were super fast, and he did change them up. Lee Dorman did the same in Iron Butterfly. When a guitarist like Page is playing something fast it's great, and when the bass player is playing exactly the same thing note for note, that is amazing! Jones is the last remaining great bass player of that era.
Lee Dorman 9/15/42 to 12/21/12
Jack Bruce 5/14/43 to 10/25/14
Chris Squire 3/4/48 to 6/27/15
Jaco Pastorius 12/1/51 to 9/21/87 I became friends with Jaco a few months before he was brutally murdered. He used to call me, "Victor the greatest Bass player in the World". Of course I wasn't, but coming from 'the Greatest Bass player in the World', it shows what a great person he was. I called Jaco "Spider Fingers", because he had tiny palms and long skinny fingers. He could stretch his fingers 2 frets wider than I could. He used to pull on my fingers to try to stretch them, so I could play his chords. It didn't work. lol
The often forgotten genious of the band!
John Paul Jones is one of my top favorite bass players of all time. The Lemon Song is probably the most complicated bass line (to me). It sounds simple until you dig into it and discover that he's all over the place on it and none of the phrases seem to repeat through the whole song. Can you do a basic 12 bar blues with it? Technically yes, but it wouldn't be the same. Thank you for sharing.
JP Jones was THE MAN for me! In particular, the second Zep album! Back in those early days I studied the bass on that album like it was gospel, which for me, it was. One of my all-time favorites - so melodic and inventive, and yet still rock solid and TCB.
Unfortunately, those fresh strings don't fit his mellower melodic style well, IMO. But still such a treat to hear the legend reflect on a lifetime of amazing craft and artistry! Thanks for all Mr. J!!!
Great video! I was totally enthralled... John Paul Jones is the best all-around musician/composer/engineer... and a heck of a nice guy!
John Paul Jones, John Entwistle and Geezer Butler are the guys responsible for modern bass playing.
Jones can also produce , arrange and write , he can conduct symphony orchestras and score films , he plays a dozen instruments well . He's classically trained but prefers to rock, which in itself is cool. All 3 of those guys are genius players
"if you want to play like me you gotta keep it moving all the time" I'll give that a try, Mr Jones
Such a beautiful and humble man...
His bass playing on the song "The Song remains the same" and the song "Celebration day" is epic. There's one recording of Led Zep playing "Celebration day" live on RUclips where whoever mixed it put Jimmys guitar on the right speaker and Bonham and JPJ on the left speaker and if you shut off the right speaker all you hear are the drums and bass, and holy shit, he is just utterly kicking it on bass.
Great sound, great technique... and superior note choice!! Most talented member of Zep. without a doubt!!!!
John Paul Jones, a great musician and amazing multi instrumental player. I started play bass listening your performance with L.Z. Thank you Master👍👍🤘🎸
I love this guy....He never took the virtuoso stance...always the simple side of the color and creativity. thanks for posting this amzing treat.
Everybody love JPJones!!
We love you dude!!
Thank you for your amazing work!!You are tha'glue of Zep
You held it all together...It woulda never been it without you
Dont ever forget that!!😊🎧🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🇺🇸
The bass lick JPJ said was from 'What Is And What Should Never Be' @ 5:20, is actually from 'Ramble On'.
Good catch, that slipped right by me....LOL
Yeah noticed that confused me a bit
I think its because they skipped ahead.
haha he's 54 here, give 'im a break, he's done so many songs :')
+sean kelly Yeah, it looks like he just went on with his life and forgot Zep like it was a lifetime ago...because it was. Go Them Crooked Vultures!...or was that a lifetime ago too? The man is nothing if not resilient.
JPJ such a cool guy and so down to earth, I saw him play a mandolin the other ( a video) and he's so knowledgeable about all the instruments he plays.
Would've been incredible for Jack Bruce & JPJ to have jammed together!
JPJ is one of the best ever! John Bonham and John Paul Jones were/are the backbone of ZEP. Still my favorite band ever. ZEP , together could do it all, musically
Such an important part of the band! Now if only Jimmy could make something like this for us guitarists. I don't even play bass and this is fun to watch!
Jimmy page was a genius - way ahead of his time. Even if he showed us exactly what he did, note for not and chord for chord, it would be difficult emulating his weird rhythms and phrasing. Again - he was a genius. My favorite all time guitarist and then there's Alex Lifeson at a close second.
jbooks888 Yes both very talented guys! Rush's guitar work always had a dreamy/epic feel. I prefer David Gilmour to Lifeson, but all three are some of the best ever!! :)
You should check out the movie It Might Get Loud. He kind-of does that.
GraphiteBlimp
No doubt.
The skills transfer over. Kinda.
What a great musician! The best!
This is gold.
He’s so humble and friendly.
was like discovering some lost treasure, please dont ever take it down. He's just incredible and much loved off to watch part 2 now
Rock music is thankful for this great player!
Thanks so much for this!!! Priceless and timeless advice from one seriously cool guy....
I love John Paul Jones and am grateful to have been around to listen to one of the three greatest bands and two greatest bass players of all time, IMO.
Awesome quality bro
What sage wisdom from such a bass sage!
It was'nt until I changed over to bass after drumming for 20 plus yrs did realize who really was the driving force in Zep, After focusing my attention on Bonham for 20 yrs it was like hearing them again for the first time when I began my journey on bass,It made me see them in a whole new light and appreciate them so much more,MAN what a supergroup they were,bands like that DONT EVER come around anymore,and if by chance it does again happen they fastly lose what got them there to begin with.
Favorite bassist of all time.
an amazing.one of the best bassist's and keyboardist's ever.the unsung member of led zeppelin!a real musician's musician!
My favorite member of my favorite band.
As bass player of ~35 years that's some of the best advice I have ever heard.
1 hell of a musician!
Such an amazing human being!!!
he sounds awesome even when his bass is unplugged
This man is wonderful .... Legacy Bassist
The simple but not easy genius of that man.
John Paul Jones makes the most interesting comments and gives excellent interviews when he is away from the other members of Led Zeppelin.
He's also really funny.
@@thecourierNCR without even trying to be it’s just his wit lol
Funny how most are so worried about "fret buzz":) John "wants" the fret buzz:)
part of the sound of rock bass guitar...chris, ox, gedd, jpj all got "it"
Lori A absolutely
Sanson101 and James Jamerson too!
@@Sanson101 also john entwistle
@@tannerjmatheson yea the Ox i mentioned...developer of Round wound strings with Rotosound...kuddos
@10:50-11:49 - Greatest advice ever. Spoken by a true bassist.
WORD. He made Bonzo rock. People danced to Zep because of JPJ. I love the grooves
he plays at the end of Gallows Pole. That white boys got soul....
The greatest bass player of all time; a true musician. every note he plays on bass is right on the money.
thanx a million.love JPJ
My GOD!!!! Crazy under rated!!!!!
Great interview. Thoughtful and intelligent questions received thoughtful and intelligent answers.
One of the most talented musicians of all time
Pure Genius!!!
JPJ, is a great all around musician and is great with arrangements.
at 5:20 he mentions "what is and what should never be", but plays Ramble On.
Triple tracked recorders/Motown-esque fingerstyle bass licks/reggae piano chops/analog brass classical solos/mandolin leads……the list goes on and on and on…John Paul Jones is not of this earth. I love that man 🎼
5:02
John your playing Ramble On , mate haha ,
it's ok
call it what you want to ,
cause your the man !
+super63strat In fairness there was a cut there so maybe he changed his mind :)
I noticed staright away iw was ramble on, but what the hell
They are both on my list of all time best Zep tunes :)
thats an editing mistake. You can see it skip/cut. No way he would become dazed and confuse the 2.
At least he got the album right ;)
a real genuine nice guy
Them Crooked Vultures should do another album!! It was so f...n awesome!
5:17 I think he means to say.. Ramble On. Thats my favorite Zed Bass line.
He might be joking for effect... but yea
What Is Left, I think he meant Zep, but he might be joking
thank you john paul for all you've done and will do
Thanks for posting and Thanks to master John.
Not only was the band very adept musicians, what non-musician types don't realize, is that all of the little nuances he's talking about here is what made Zep the best band ever!
definately one of the greats. superb bass lines in those zep songs
One of the best.
great tip re whole lotta love
The Silent Assassin gets his due!!!
This is why ,for working musicians , a drummer with good time ,is the most important member of a great band . There's no "pocket " without one ,no matter how good the players are ! Bonham and Jones were a match made in Heaven !!!
Best guy in the business alongside geddy lee.
Agreed!
John Entwistle?
JPJ contributed to songs. geddy, although i like him a person really isn't much of a bass player outside of rush, ever heard him or peart play with other bands?
What a complete musician
Dang JPJ! Yr givin' away all our secrets! ;-]
thank you for everything
--Al the Bass Player, Austin, Texas
Thank you John Paul Jones!!!!!!! You are a great inspiration to me. Your playing is Strong, Tasty, and melodic! More, More, More. How about full length discussions on technique, theory, stories, any information you are willing to offer will be consumed with great appreciation!!!!!
In fact i will be happy to produce it! Rock-On!
@buryfc2010: Don't know if this was repeated here yet and I was surprised JPJ didn't think offer it but waaaay the hell back in '70 or so, I read an interview with JPJ in which he advised 'Don't try to make good music on a bad instrument - nuthin' will frustrate a beginner more than to try learning on junk'. It was one of the best pieces of advice I'd ever heard. Once I got rid of my new 'Sears' guitar and got a good used Fender...all the difference.Thanx for that (and Zep!) JPJ. A good bloke !
