![Who Are Robert Plant's Children? [1 Daughter And 3 Sons] | Led Zeppelin Singer](/img/n.gif)
John Paul Jones, the unsung hero of Led Zeppelin, the guy who kept their wheels on the tracks. Legend.
Well, he has sounded that way every time I've heard him speak.
JPJ is one of the best bassists on the planet.
John Paul Jones can play any instrument you give him to play.
Led Zeppelin had 4 heroes who kept the wheels on the tracks. It was said by all three of them; Regardless of who would end like Bonzo, the band would not continue. They were 4 equal integral parts completing as Robert said there: "an Ultimate Unit"...
Let's face it, they would be nothing without Jones and Bonham.
Finally a documentary that gives JPJ the credits he deserves!!!
Ya gotta love John Paul Jones, a quiet badass musician.
I do but I also love Jimmy Page.
He's so low profile rock star
It seems badass genius to be famous but not easily recognizable, kman 4443.
That bassline was what drew everyone’s attention to their music
“This session is kind of heavier than I thought who are these guys? Well Led Zeppelin” 😂😂 JPJ the legend
John Paul Jones is so talented man! That guy was always unbelievably great on the bass and keyboards. He was always the one who kept things together. I admire him!
Tim Rubin Halcomb poppoolllnjnj
Pokemon
Yea john Paul jones
me 2!
Yes! Someone who actually gets J.P.Jones. Without him I truly believe Zeppelin wouldn't be who they've become. His bass accented John Bohnams drums to create that "Heavy Sound". Noticed in studio tracks like "When the Levee breaks",especially at the end where Plant starts singing "Goin down now". Jones's bass then drops an octave from what he'd been playing for the full song,and it brings goosebumps to my arms. Anyone that doubts what I'm saying...listen to Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same Film,and just listen to Jones's bass during any of Pages Solos. Mastermind Musician as well as the others,but still...Zeppelin wouldn't be as productive if it wasn't for J.P.Jones. Very Humble and Gentle genius he is. Underrated, as alot of bass players are for what they do for bands. Go to a live show,and take the bass away,...that show would suck,no matter who. The Bass is what brings the heaviness to Heavy Rock and Metal.PERIOD!
May be the most talented member overall.
Jonesy...Ramble On bassline, the keyboard on No Quarter, mandolin on the acoustic stuff, a class act and a family man...I could go on..just a cool cat
I love his work on "How Many More Times".
Try the bass line to we're gonna groove. So tasty
Robert did not want to ever reform after Bonhams death.
I think he was the wisest among them.
It kept from ever having a less than perfect Led Zepplin.
They're legend remains intact forever.
John Paul Jones is an incredible musician and I firmly believe that led zeppelin without any of the original members is just not led zeppelin...jonesy equally
JPJ must have fantastic genetics, look how well He’s aged
I agree 😍♥️
He aged well because he dont consume drugs as much or maybe didnt
@@20_madeanandharadyadananja6 Dude was a family man back in the day too. Still married to his wife even.
@@neelparekh3448 He's born perfect😇
you do realize hes only like 38 or 39 here ya millenial goof lol 40 isnt old and broken
feels weird watching an interview of JPJ and then realize he’s the brains behind the mesmerizing bass lines of Zeppelin
I have been listening to ZEPP for more than 40 years......I still get that feeling in my chest and goose bumps!
Couldn't have said it better!
49 years for me
I was there 1972 www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS854US854&q=led+zeppelin+tours+knoxville+tn+1972&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj4npiv4bzjAhUDQawKHd9BDiwQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=1522&bih=746&fbclid=IwAR15dOrHPqDF_vt6Mc3HDEVTHtUwt-qDcCjNu0XZFSGsNyAlkosz5fHwh-Y
Civic callosum - HE played the Double!!
So true...me too! ❤ it is nice to read how others feel the way I do-
One of the world's greatest musicians ever and not just rock music..
Led Zeppelin best band ever. Saw them live in 1977. Best concert ever
Brigette Guilliams Cool, where at? I seen them live in Louisville Ky. in 1977. The best rock band ever, what a show!
@@Johnny53kgb-nsa April, 1977, Chicago Stadium, for me.
MSG June 1977
Really? Who else have you seen?
Saw them in Buffalo, NY [my hometown] in 1973!! I remember it like it was yesterday!! Robert's hair [and bare chest!! lol!], Jimmy's awesome guitaring and Bonzo's drumming!! BTW the whole Aud smelled like pot!!! Awesome!!!
The Man is Modest and a Genius. Besides a fantastic Bass player, he's a great Keyboardist, Songwriter and then some. Working with this guy must have been a pleasure.
grew up on Zeppelin and saw them in Offenburg Germany in '73 - sometimes it feels like no time has gone by since those days and sometimes it feels like a distant dream. Ramble on...
Some of the most honest description from Plant on page. “He’s had his ups and down and could have looked after himself from time to time”
Good video. Greatest rock band, ever. The one thing I stumbled over was in their synopsis of Robert Plant, they omitted the most important thing: his unique, powerful, versatile voice, and his ability to use it. There's nobody that sounds even remotely like Plant.
Nobody plays like Jimmy Page. All rock drummers with any sense want to sound like Bonham. And Jones is the cord that holds it together and steers the ship, although most people don't notice it.
With all four on stage, it was pure magic. Even at their worst, they were better than any other rock band. Their raw talent carried them through.
Always love how LZ never played a song live the same way twice. And all it took was Bonzo and JPJ glancing at each other to keep it together and freestyle the way only zeppelin could
Tight but loose...
They were good musicisns and shouldn't be expected to stand up there and play the hits like puppets. Good musicians improvise onstage . If they have the nerve to
JoJo x Because they weren't able to.
@@ryanmcneila1957too bad a really talented instrumentalist like you wasn't around to show them how🖕
HELLO beautiful 😘🇬🇧
John Paul Jones could have been a great ventriloquist when he talks his lips don't move.
There are still more generations of Zeppelin listeners still going strong! Long live Zeppelin!
nice name ;)
My introduction to Led Zeppelin came with the release of their 2nd album in the fall of 1969. I was 8 years old and I was hooked. I've been a fan and still listen to them today.
JPJ was the quietest, yet most important member of the band. So much talent that was behind the scenes.
Yeah, you can replace Page or Plant but not JPJ.
@@christopherjones4789 You can’t replace page or plant
Plant seems so level headed and down to earth.
I hope he lives forever....and healthy.
So great to see an interview that really lets you hear from Jonesy
For a band like this to ever evolve again, you'd have to have a few hundred kids grow up in an extremely controlled environment -- one in which there are no smartphones, no Xboxes, and no cable TV. If you're completely *saturated* in cheap, low-quality entertainment from the time you're born, your creative potential becomes stunted before it ever has a chance to blossom. That's why so many music lovers today are listening to material that was released years if not decades before they were born.
They had TV back then, and they had their time-consuming equivalents of our smartphones & video games.
dB Music Group not even close, to the distractions have today.
SingleTax try Greta van fleek they are a bit like Led Zepplin listen to them but they dont like getting told they sound like led Zepplin. Very good band tho
Yuk. Greta Van Fleet.
I've never thought of that. Good insight, mate
Beatles had George
Floyd had Rick
Zeppelin had Jones
There is something about these 'quiet ones'...
Good train of thought... sometimes the quiet ones are the dangerous ones. 🤫
In a good way!
The Who had John Entwistle
@@cynthia.marina no one cares about The Who
@@patriciasuder1416 Nope. But I is hard not to respect Entwisle's playing.
What Plant said about Page not being a "standard lead guitar player" in 1985 was really true. Whether you liked them or hated them or just liked some of their stuff, The Firm were unlike what anyone expected them to be.
The Firm? What a waste of talent!
Magical, mythical, legendary Led Zeppelin ❤️❤️❤️
Albums were the best. So glad I experienced that phase of recording. Tapes and CDs are nice, but having that album with the artwork, lyrics, pics was just a great experience. It was a major part of my engagement with the music.
Proud to say I am a ZEPPMANIC🤩😻🤩😻
GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER
Van Halen right after
This band is why I’ve played guitar and piano all of my life. They changed my life completely. I wish I could thank them all personally.
Led Zeppelin were an albums band, Jimmy made sure of that from day one. To some Zep purists, Stairway can sound out of place when played in isolation, whereas on the album it sits perfectly at the conclusion of side one. One of the themes of the album is the polarity of town/country, those two polarities being embodied by the first three tracks, before then being synthesised together in "Stairway", and then explored further on side 2, culminating in the extraordinary emotional realease of Levee.
Norse Sex god front man, the dark magician on guitar, a madman with monster kicks dropping triplets on drums, and JPJ rock steady Bass and keyboards ..
GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER
Few people know that Robert Plant wanted to be remembered by Kashmir not Stairway to heaven
Kashmir was JPJ s favorite too.
Greatest rnr song ever written, stairway to heaven!!!
Kashmir, Stairway To Heaven and The Rain Song are the best rock songs ever (just my opinion) so if he is remembered by any of those songs it's great
Julie Strauss If you are a commercial radio DJ. It's a good song, overrated and overplayed though
Mark Rago if you separate it from its commercialism, it’s just a great song...I guess it’s a victim of its success ✌🏻
rip Bonzo
YES SIR THE BEST DRUMMER THAT EVER LIVED STAY SAFE AULONA 😁
Jpj is the wise one....
Jimmy Page is off his head in this interview.
Andrew Smith hahah I was looking for this comment. But he’s still a badass. Used to play while smacked up all the time and was better than anyone else was sober hahah
IS ALL SOME PEOPLE CAN FOCUS ON HE IS HERE ALIVE KICKING ABOUT TO TURN 77 IN JANUARY A PERSONS PAST DON'T DETERMINE THEIR FUTURE STOP BRINGING UP HIS DRUG PAST 😫
@@tiffanycurtis4794 Your Caps Lock is on Tiffany
@@tiffanycurtis4794 and his girlfriend is about 46 years younger than him, so he also aged very well!!! :D
@@marcoviola6741 botox
John Paul Jones is one of my favorite bass players of all time.
Baddest ass band of all time.
ooohhhh yesss they were
Especially live!!😎
Jpj is the wise one....
Classiest bass player ever!!!!
Each guy represented 50% of the band, hence, no one could be replaced and still have Led Zepplin. When Bonham died, that was it. But, we got at least one hundred years of music out of them. They never sound old or dated.
you mean 25%?
Well, Barriemore Barlow was considered as a replacement for Bonham. Just sayin'
Saw them twice in 1975, (Nassau Coliseum), and once in 1978, (MSG). Greatest live band I've ever seen!
Never knew they played at the Coliseum... did they ever play at Jones Beach?
Ask any Zeppelin fan. All their albums are so good!!! Not like the CRAP that out there NOW. The ZEP will always ROCK it out of the park!!!!!👍👍. 🤔About that!!
Jones’s bass lines were particularly solid on the second album.
Solid on every album
The raw production on that album really brings out his bass
The Beatles were the best Pop band The Stones are the longest running, but LZ is the best Rock and Roll band of all time.
@Vlodec when I think of bands in my lifetime, I'm 60, only 2 bands come to mind, The Beatles and Zeppelin. Love the stones, floyd, etc, but, Led Zep and The Beatles are IT.
@Vlodec The Beatles never really got into the blues like the stones did. And the stones did it exceptionally well. You can't compare the two. Sometimes I'm in a LZ mood sometimes I'd rather listen to a stones playlist. There really is no best. They're all on my playlist so they all must be great.
No way. LZ is fun food. Stones are gourmet dining.
Hari Khalsa you said it no one has come close, the masters!!!
@Vlodec The beatles definitely couldn't do anything. They never really got into country or blues like the stones did. Also they have very few hard rock songs. While the stones have dozens.
BEEN looking for this for the last 6 years . THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!
Amazing and historic precious video footage !
Thank you so much for uploading .
G'day from Australia
No such thing as Led Zeppelin without any of them....except for Jason Bonham when he steps in for his Dad. Smart man John Paul Jones staying low key.
Agreed!! Jason does his dad proud 🥁💞
Born in '96, I've been getting the led out for as long as I can remember. Zep II was the first cassette I ever played in my truck. Still in the tape deck today!
What truck you got?
@Chesapeake Bay Fix Or Repair Daily
The #1 John Paul Jones song-
No Quarter.
I'd argue Lemon Song
Fool in the Rain
Robert Plant looking like he’s straight out of Hall & Oates
A band is the voice any other voice besides Roberts would have never been anything
John Paul Jones ---sounded like he could go anywhere he want, when he was in the Led Zeppelin Band. By keeping a low profile and melting in with the crowd in the background. Where Robert Plant and Jimmy Page and John Henry Bonham were too well known to go anywhere outside the hotel without ! John Paul Jones was the background foundation of Led Zeppelin big time and great musician !
Best band EVER
I'm thankful to have seen Robert and Jimmy on the two tours s they did in the 90's
Hey! That’s Princess Diana’s haircut in the early days! On John Paul.
These 3 guys may have had their differences over the years but you can tell that all three of them loved and respected Bonham.
That was a crippling loss.
When I listen to Led Zeppelin so do ALL my neighbors!!!
If only zep has stopped touring toward the end of the 70’s and focused on being a studio band. Imagine....
If only their studio music hadn't sucked so horribly bad in the late '70s.
Hot Dog!
Hot dog is the peak of music
@@mirror1001 hot dog is humanity's greatest achievement
Yeah, but they always took their music to another level when they played live...masters of improv!!
In 1970, I saw Zep at the Forum in L.A. I was flying on mescaline. It was legendary! I feel that concert to this day! When I heard the sound track, I heard my signature whistle in the background! P.S. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!
Wow, what a trip! I like the early bluesy Zep best, so 1970 was a perfect time to see them live! Lucky you!
Wait a minute? You experienced that concert on mescaline????! Must have been fun! But i would not try that!props to you!!greets
John Richard Baldwin,
If it was not for you the Band Led Zeppelin would not Sound so good.!
Thank you for all your work.. God Bless you always........
Veronica Lake where’d you get the Richard from? He doesn’t have a middle name.
I remember this back when it came out. Great to watch it again!
One of the better docs on LZ. What I don't understand about the so-called controversies
about the band is, even if many of the incidents were true, how were they that different
from what many of the other rock bands of the time were doing?
Jonesy. Love him but he never opens his mouth when he speaks.
He has gnarly teeth
VEntrriloquist
He’s a Brit
@@dalewetzel773
So am I.
Without Led Zeppelin, metal or music would not so great as it is now, thanks to them!
i found them in high school in the early 90s...i was blown away...simply awesome
How could you not Love them!!??
I love the fact that when they were on stage it was just them and not a bunch of lights, etc.
Or covered in tattoos..
@@jayannakelley9051 Yes! I can appreciate the artwork sometimes but not on a body. They make a person look dirty.
Beautiful. Incredible healing power and ability.
Thankyou
Led Zeppelin is the greatest and best artists in all popular (I don't mean Top 40 Pop only) since the 1950's, the beginning of top 40 rock and pop. We can't say ever in pop music, since classical was popular ages before.
Jpj is a very smart guy, great self discipline.
Jimmy Page - The Ludwig Von Beethoven of Guitar 🎸 🙌🏻🎶
John Bonham and Ludwig Drums !
You meant to write Edward Van Halen
Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Ron Wood, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards, Peter Green, Dave Davies, Paul Kossoff, Brian May. All born within 30 miles of each other at roughly the same time. Ritchie Blackmore was born in Weston Super-Mare but moved to Heston (where Jimmy page was born) when he was two. London, the home of the guitar hero. John Paul Jones was from Sidcup, 25 miles away from Jimmy Page's Heston.
canturgan You could write the same about Motown artists, New Orleans Jazz pioneers and Mississippi delta Blues musicians...
I do and probably a lot more people than you could imagine. What an imbecilic comment.
How the fuck does it matter omfg, why do you need an excuse to put in all the big names together.
and
Very cool. Fuck most of the dorks who don't know shit about shit below.
Led Zeppelin was and still is an awesome band. Them and Queen band are so much alike musically. although both bands dress differently, their personalities are so different as well.
Queen and LZ are nothing alike.
Forever Led Zeppelin.
"LZ was a band with three lead instruments. Page's guitar, Plant's vocal, and Bonham's drums. Their foundation was Jones on bass."
What??
It's not really. It's same to sort each part in jazz band form like"it's lead, it's rhythm, it has no point. LZ's greatness was that the functions of each part were fluid, each instrument played the foundation and the lead respectively.
Peanutbutter Imfeelinbetter If I read you correctly I agree every instrument was a lead and a part.
Definitely! Wish I could have seen them
Page/Plant tour 1995. Seventh row center Hartford Civic Center . Stairway denied. Saw them at Live Aid in Philly 1985.
The same in Frankfurt, no Stairway ... thank God
Makes you wonder why LedZep played Philly during Live Aid. If i remember right, the American artists played Veteran's Stadium in Philly, the British artists played Wembley Stadium in London. I wish i was there in Philly that day! Woulda been glorious!!!
John, you are the man...thankyou.
plus my favorite person in l.z was plant the way he could sing it was simply amazing thats all i have to add.
Scott Rubin I have to agree, tho it's sooooo fucking close for all of them. but plants voice was incredible
Jimmy Page rules
Misfitnz8 HELL yeah
Rules what?
@@justjeph6927 rules ALL
Totally awesome...I LOVE 💘 💘 💘 💘 💘 IT.and you did an amazing job on this video too..Thank you so so much..
LED ZEPPELIN WILL BE PLAYING FOR GENERATIONS AFTER WERE LONG GONE 🎸 🎼 🎸 🎶
Page and Plant looked younger in 1985 than they did at Knebworth!
Its amazing how bad Page looked in the late 70"s , he should have been @ his peak. He might have died if Bonham didnt. Heck he was only 34 yrs old.
David Orelj
Apparently when Zeppelin's road manager heard that one of the band had died he immediately assumed it was Page.
Yea that was Richard Cole when he was in jail.
Yea, that was Richard Cole while he was in prison
That's one of the most retarded things I've ever read. holy shit. Being feminine in the way you dress (Like robert plants "6 sizes too small" shirts) doesn't mean you're a tranny. They are all dudes and never pretended to be female.
Funny how time works, one day you're being an absolute rockstar getting wasted having the time of your life and then you're suddenly looking back on your life
The guy says 'there's no such thing as LZ without Jimmy Page.'.
Well, no shit.
Cool vid & interesting little tidbits of unknown info by the band. Loved The Firm w Jimmy in the 80s.
Best Band Ever !
Best Band Ever.
Absolutely.
How is it that I've worshipped this band my whole life and never saw this 🤔
I started listening to Led Zep when I was 9 or 10. Now I'm 62 and still listen to Led Zep. That's over half a century.
THANK YOU for this vid----it was SO enjoyable !!!! Best. band. ever.
Listen to the experts. It's only Rock & Roll, don't analyze it and enjoy it. Jimmy looks great in a beard😌
Shame Plant wasn't willing to have Jones as part of the Plant/Page tours of the 90s.
LionsAllday DETROIT because it may have seemed like a led zeppelin, maybe
@Tama Kennedy You're an idiot
LionsAllday DETROIT go lions. 12-4 when plant son died jones didn’t listen to go to funeral..... maybe a grudge since
It took all four of them to make The Mighty Zep🌟💫
Thanks for helping to fulfill my life. All involved with Led Zeppelin, Including Jason.
Am I the only one? That gets goosebumps hearing Pages guitar riffs
Maybe, it could be the lack of horse in my body.
Nope
Ian Mangham horse? Heroin?
One thing still puzzles me whenever I hear their interviews, something in between the lines so to speak: while we all know the band ended because Bonham died, they speak as if they broke up to a personal level as well. I mostly get this from the way John Paul Jones seemed to be left out of Page and Plant's side projects, also in the way Plant frequently wanted to dismiss rumors of reunion (as if he didn't want it or knew there were bigger obstacles). I remember an interview where JP Jones said he hadn't been contacted during the 90s or so for a project or reunion. I saw them live back in the 90s in Milan and he wasn't there.
I’m glad they didn’t diss on one another no matter the reason.. I’m sick to death of hearing FM’s drama through the years like they even thought they were in Zep’s league..
To the "my innocent rockstars can't do no wrong" type of fans:
"They were notorious for abusing groupies..."
"Well i might have done it, but i can't remember them."
without john paul jones led zepp would never reach such a succes he is 70% of led zep music creation @! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRUE
absolutely right!!!
