Audio starts in a few seconds......... Isolated Drum and Bass groove for aspiring musicians. Great to hear more details on what John Bonham and John Paul Jones are doing and how they lock together
Well, no shit. When your drummer is so bad ass when he passed away Led fucking Zeppelin had to break up because they couldn’t imagine going on without you, you’re the most tremendous drummer in history. I’ve thought this was a badass groove since I was in Jr High School a million years ago…
I guess one could say that in and of itself, a 12 bar blues progression would work in this song, but in and of itself, the bass line is basically impossible to replicate because of how he doesn't seem to repeat the same phrase twice and how he's just grooving through the whole thing. I've been playing bass about 40 years and I definitely can't play it the way John Paul plays it. Led Zeppelin II is my favorite Led Zeppelin album. Thank you for posting.
yeah, JPJ literally plays every single variation of 12 bar that he can think of. Its insane, he literally does not repeat himself over 100 bars!! So much rhythmic variation. This recording really is a masterclass!
Hello, fellow bassist. I've been playing 27 years, myself. Not sure if you're aware of this fact, but there's a reason there isn't recurrent motifs across this exceptional blues tune. John Baldwin (aka JPJ) admitted in an interview years later that he improvised this entire song. How's that for instilling feelings of inadequacy amongst the rest of amateurs? And II is also my favorite Zeppelin album, hands down. Keep holding it down, good sir!
@@cangrejoarbol3990 They don't do anything, the isolated tracks are either leaked or they're provided to the makers of games like Rock Band and they just read them from the game data. They will never say this though, they just act all mysterious so you think they're some kind of audio genius with magic powers.
@@PutItAway101 I didn't do it via either of those methods however both methods you described were previously the only way to do it. Now there are new technologies using artifical intelligence that can split tracks from .mp3 of .flac files of the fully mixed tracks. Results vary however and not every song has great results. Tracks with really clear separation amongst the instruments work the best. The reason most people are quiet is its such a new technology, the artists and their lawyers haven't figured it out yet. Once it gets popular they will try and shut it down and claim its copyright infringement.
Jones and Bonham made it possible for Page to solo his ass off . What a group of talented musicians !!!!! All that sound from a 3 piece band awesome, rock on
@@ralph6968 who doesn't credit at least Bonham? He's pretty widely considered one of, if not the greatest rock drummers of all time. And anyone who knows music in the slightest knows how great JPJ is.
And THIS is why Led Zeppelin was/is the greatest rock band!! Sure, as fans we go to the shows and our focus is on the two diamonds out front. (That being Page and Plant, right?) But our ears cannot be deceived!! The backbone of any great band is the rhythm section and the two of the best are isolated right hear for our listening enjoyment. Another breath taking isolated track is "Heartbreaker."
This was likely done at one take. Only seasoned professional session cats can pull off shit like this. Many are still trying to figure out what Jones is doing here….some 50 years later! I understand that’s it’s a “blues in the key of E progression,” but it’s the feel and precision what makes it so indulgently fun. Jones mastered his musical vernacular years prior to the formation of this act…so it makes perfect sense that between he and Bonzo it was just like dynamite detonating!
It took more than a year...but I can play this note for note. Its required learning for the Church of JPJ. Its so enjoyable to play...as are all of his basslines.
I know it's probably an audio glitch/artefact from whatever ropey algorithm was used to isolate these 'stems', but I love the fact that every time Bonham hits the kick drum hard it feels like it's just crushing every other sound under its immense weight and volume, as I imagine that was probably what it was like being in the room with Bonham while he plays this.
There is one more thing for Page to do. Issue a music only album! He has already released the instrumental version of No Quarter, and that was brilliant. Often, the music stands on its own , and many times Plant is the weak link. Achilles, Song Remains The Same, Kashmir, The Rain Song, That’s The Way. It would be very refreshing to hear just the music. Please do that for us…
So.. that means everyone in the band sacrifices their right arm to get Bonham & Jones. This results in Bonham & Jones replacing the drummer and bassist as they can't play anymore with only one arm, and are inferior anyway even if they didn't lose their arms. The guitarist is getting replaced by somebody else also as he can't play anymore with only one arm. I guess the singer is still remaining in the band but forever hated by his former band mates who got used and tricked into this. The singer then quickly falls in a great depression due to this plus the trauma of losing his arm. Yeah well I'm sure there are many bands who would consider doing this.
John Paul Jones was drowned out by Jimmy Page's guitar playing and Robert Plant's singing. The isolated bass and drums are incredible. They sound more Funk than Rock. John Bonham's drum sounds will never be produced. I shake my head every time I listen to his drumming.
^ ^ Its just so funky" ROCK music doesnt work if it doesnt swing ! I mean even Black Sabbath were quite bluesy and swingy........ Then here comes METAL .....very boring in my opinion . Even Motorhead Phil Taylor said his main infuence was Bernard Purdy! " It dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing " Foxy Pagan Love fae Scotland VVxx
that usually happens on older analog recordings because some microphones were setup to capture the entire room rather than a particular instrument or there is bleed from the supposed "sound proof" area of an instrument. It can also happen because alot of these STEMS are created using a new AI technology where it tries to isolate each particular instrument but some of the frequency bands overlap so the technology isn't sure if its vocals vs guitar.

Giving this a thumb up before it even plays.
These two are immensely talented and lock together like a machine. Huge reason Zep is the best rock band of all time.
Next to The Police of course! 😁😆
@@samuelmarlow1969 Beatles and Led
@@samuelmarlow1969 agree! I think I even like The Police a little better lol
every member was critical. Not too often that when a drummer dies the band immediately calls it quits
No lessons in the world could make this happen, its brotherhood!!!
Kind of amazing that one song can have the best slow and fast bass line.
According to my ears, this is the entire song. The other parts are just harmony for this.
This is my favorite bass line of any Led Zeppelin song❤
It's got so much mood, and so musical. Bonham always seemed to put the perfect groove down for the best rythem section in music..imo
Dazed and Confused is another good one.
No one cares
@@andresvelasco8163 About what
@@andresvelasco8163 your monkey ass cared to comment, so there’s that🤣
One of the most distinct bass and drums sound ever. They could sit there just playing quarter notes and I’d know who it was.
Listen to how Bonham stays simple and groovy to let JPJ shine. Jones is a beast. Every bit as talented , if not more so, than the others IMO.
I've dreamed of hearing just the rhythm section of this song for years. God bless the people who make these isolated tracks ❤️
How do they even do it?

The individual tracks for led zep II were leaked.
Thank you JPJ!!!!
IT HITS THE GROOVE PERFECTLY 🥰
HE MADE THIS BAND UNTOUCHABLE, ALONF WITH BOHNHAM
Just shows that the heart of this song is indeed the drums and bass. JPJ and JB really played well together.
Man, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were just along for the ride on a lot of these songs.
Getting the led out . There's a reason jpj is still in demand to this day , fantastic
Jonesy is just Incredible.
Jones and Bonham made it possible for Page to solo his ass off . What a group of talented musicians !!!!! All that sound from a 3 piece band awesome, rock on
This isolated rythem section defines perfection and love!!!!!!
These guys were in their early twenties, amazing! There’s great iso track of Ramble On during the studio fade, JPJ and Bonzo kick butt!
The live version at fillmore west 04/24/69 was phenomenal, especially the intro. Jonesy and Bonzo are truly a backbones of Zep's powerhouse sound.
yeah too bad they never got the credit for that ,it was always ,Page and Plant.
@@ralph6968 who doesn't credit at least Bonham? He's pretty widely considered one of, if not the greatest rock drummers of all time. And anyone who knows music in the slightest knows how great JPJ is.

This video deserves billions of views!!!
✝️Led Zeppelin best rock band past present & future 🎶🥁🎸
PERIOD!!
Can't argue that

or celebration day
i have now listened top this at least 20 times. unreal.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Bonham and Jones really lock in.
They were truly talented and fed off of each other so well. Damn, I love John Paul Jones with the long hair.
Bonzos dynamics were mountain peaks and low valleys
These isolated rhythm tracks are so great! Many thanks!
And that, your honour, is the case for flatwounds...
Absolutely great bass playing here - virtuosity and great sense of syncopated rhythms with LOTS of improvisation - wow!!!
Love the subtle eventide phaser on the drums

the effect is that they are perfectly timed
Jonesey! What a talented man 💯
I would like a reissue of the entire catalog of just the isolated drum tracks.

@@davidankrom1247 led zeppelin uprooted perhaps
Fast part goes hard af, never noticed the kick, but it sounds like a metal beat already
For any bassist, this is a "back to the woodshed" moment. Lol
This sounds amazing. What a time to be alive to see these guys play- I wasn’t unfortunately
I was extremely lucky. Saw them twice. 1975 and 1977. Been in awe of Bonham since i was 14 years old.
@@t-bone6467I’ll give you that.
I was a very, very lucky guy…. 8 times for me.

He only recently unblocked you.
Enjoy.
what a duo, this is another level of blues
One of the many songs that I absolutely LOVE!

Pura poesia ritmica.
Incredible quality playing, and they so young too. Dem were the days.
Master piece. Just beautiful
The heaviest rhythm section of all time.
Bonham is locked into Jimmy, and JPJ is cueing off both drums and guitar while weaving amongst them
my favorite playing of all time
JPJ is sooo under rated. I think that's because he was always the quiet one. He wasn't loud and boisterous like the other three.
listen to the perfectly timed "crashes"...
Thanks so much for posting this, I was just looking for the bass line, magic JPJ and Bonham.
I enjoyed this so much. You could dance to this.
''Achilles last stand'' would be Fn AWESOME!!!!!!! Peace :)
Got it voiceless, from YT. Great in the car.
Month 3 of attempting to learn this bassline with all its little nuances, just about through the first fast part. It’s gunna take minute…
Love that Funk & Roll!!
Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...
the john section
Mind blowing…
these two are on a different planet
Just listen how they end it ,how they end this song 🎵
Oh my days. Wowzers 😅 u cant even touch this its spectacular
Been taping voiceless Zep for the car cassette and heck yea, the compositions come clear. The Bass drum pairing and interplay come out.
Fantastic!
John Paul Jones man... Would love to hear isolated "Good times, Bad times....".

I was enjoying John Paul’s bass line even more!!!
Not a bad bass line for being improvised.
He never plays exact same phrase twice. He always changes accents and emphasis. Very hard to do for several minutes
You can hear tiny fragments of the vocals, it sounds like Robert Plant is haunting this groove
that usually happens on older analog recordings because some microphones were setup to capture the entire room rather than a particular instrument or there is bleed from the supposed "sound proof" area of an instrument.
