"Just to play guitar and get paid for it. I still can't believe my luck after all these years!" - JPJ is a legend😍
The greatest 'secret weapon' a band ever had.
TH-cam
@jay tate Adequate! Good reason Jimmy Page chose JPJ to start up a new band; JPJ was a musical virtuoso.
I hope JPJ knows how much Led Zep fans appreciate his work in the band. We love you John Paul Jones.
JPJ is the heckn man! him and bonzo man. ORL once said he wish he could get the Led Zeppelin recordings of only JPJ and Bonzo
Very well said.
I love listening to the bass isolated tracks from Led Zep. They are pretty much their own songs
@@marendenison3550 AMEN!
John Paul Jones never played a wrong note in his life, a great musician surrounded by 3 other great musicians.
Yes, the shy one, the modest one, the one in the shadow, the one standing one step back... what a talent, what a musician. We love you Jonesy.
This man is a giant, so overlooked, but musicians and audiophiles know.
Bollocks
Yes, we know. Any true Zepplin fan( with music skills or audiophile tendency) knows he was a cornerstone of Zep. He wrote ALL of Black Dog... Page's part and his too. He was a killer.
Mandolin solo: this man made Zeppelin what it was...
When I studied Jazz guitar at a Conservatory everyone talked about what a great multi-instrumentalist JPJ was and is and his many contributions to LZ. He is well appreciated by musicians in both the rock and jazz genres.
That's what anyone says after looking into any of the members, they were all giants. Zep would not have been the same if it had not been for the four of them.
*That was John Paul Jones' personal mandolin... It had his symbol on its trus rod cover on the headstock... Fun fact... John Paul Jones' symbol was chosen from an old book of runes, as its meaning was, "Competent and Confident", two words that perfectly described him...*
just noticed it when you pointed it out. thanks for the little tidbit 👍
John Paul Jones aged very well.
IMurderdTheDevil Finally an interview where John can talk without prune face Plant interrupting him !!!
ExclusiveLM shut your fucking mouth talking about Robert Plant like that
I know but this was 15 years ago
Jake Calder Hey listen Jake.......... you hear that ?? That's the sound of Plant's ego ALSO sagging !!
ExclusiveLM You have the grammar of a 12 year old. You arent fit to speak, let alone speak about Robert Plant.
One of the most under rated musicians period. Thats what happens when you share the stage with the greatest guitarist, drummer and rock singer.
I think he was a much better rounded musician than the other three.
em jay
Well, he was never (as far as I know) a druggie or a party animal like Plant or Page. Or an alcoholic like Bonzo. So he was always the sober one putting everything together coherently during live shows. Plus, I think he was also the one doing most arrangements in the studio
@@shalashaska6658 yes indeed! He was doing arrangements long before Led Zeppelin. For example, the strings on She's a Rainbow by The Rolling Stones, we're arranged by him.
i dont think John Paul Jones is underrated pal
Sorry to say i overlook him.....
Zep would not have been Zep without him.
Each one was essential.
Kowasi Definitely!
He's one quarter. No quarter no Zep!
sgtchewy Not by a very long way, yeah
You ain't lying bro,he was the backbone of zepp
There was never an instrument this guy tried to play that he didn't master in short order. A phenomenal talent as a musician.
Because of the love of music
He's the Swiss Army Knife of music.
I could listen to John Paul Jones play the mandolin for an eternity.
There are no words to describe the magnitude of the talent of this genius!
Love JPJ. Such an inspiration to me personally.
Talent, shyness and modesty, a brilliant combination.
Throw in a great sense of humour and we're all set!
Listen to the bass line on Ramble On sometime. Pure magic
The Lemon Song
I liked some interview with an industry expert talking about the perfection of the Dazed and Confused lead-in. The guy was saying that the bass was so perfect that Jones should have just been given all the money in the world right then.
Green beans
JPJ and Paul McCartney greatest bass players ever.
Absolutely
Jones can play bass, mandolin, piano, he's an actor, songwriter, arranger, film composer, producer,............a very impressive resume at 74 years old now.
I like that JPJ personalized his mandolin subtly with his rune/symbol on the truss rod cover.
I read from those closest to Zep that he was, by a distance, the most talented musician of them all & the one with no ego. Now that’s a combination to aspire to.
JPJ and John Bonham are the best base duo of all times
He transformed the room when he started playing.
Yeah you can feel it
Been a fan of Zep for more decades than I care to remember. I always thought of Jonesy as the anchor of the group. That quiet guy that just seems to make things come together. The guy that doesn't need or want attention because knowing people are happy to hear him play is all he needs. God bless John Paul Jones!
The Zep member that went home to his family after the gigs, that stood still behind his bass and keyboards, that provided the glue that held Zep songs together, so that they didn't just become 2-dimensional rock songs. Before Zep, he was a string and keyboard arranger for dozens of psychedelic rock hits like Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow," "Two Thousand Light Years From Home," and for hits by Donovan, Herman's Hermits, and others.
Then he got that phone call from Jimmy Page.
After "All That" ended in 1980, he went on to arrange and produce for dozens of artists from many genres of music, such as R.E.M., Heart, Jars of Clay, Ben E. King, Peter Gabriel, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, as well as recording as a member of supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, which included Dave Ghrol and Josh Homme. He's also produced several albums of solo work.
Thus, the Zep member who went home to his family after those legendary 70s concerts - remained the most active member of the band, post-breakup.
God Bless him!!
John Paul Jones. After watching this, I have gained so much respect for this man. I already respected him as a member of led Zeppelin, but I respect him even more because of his super cool, down-to-earth attitude. Jones and Bonham were truly the backbone of Led Zeppelin, as any bassist and drummer should be. If you listen closely to The Rain Song, you can hear all of John's intricate piano/bass lines. He is truly a beautiful soul... And he kicked ass in one of the most awesome bands ever!
RachelMieleMusic Rachel, I totally agree with you .I have all ways respected this man He and Bonzo were the most powerful bass/drums and keyboards ever
The most underrated Zep member, JPJ.
Remmie .. you hit that out of the park with your comment. Nicely said!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Aron Gamman - underrated?? nice joke😂
Man couldn't have said it better!
He is very under rated because he chose to fly under the radar as a musician with ZEP.. Very quiet and never tried to put a spotlight on himself.. That is a key factor of why ZEP was so successful because none of the members tried to out do eachother, rather they worked in sync with eachother!..❤❤
As a teen, I loved Page and Plant, and then Bohnam was also sooo present...I even owned a double neck SG so I could pretend I was Page in front of the mirror LOL. Only later did the musical contribution of JPJ dawn upon me - how awesome and integral he was. Following that, I read some stories (possible hearsay) about how he was really keeping the group together when they were over the top with alcohol and getting high. He was truly the rock. Also - neat story, I taught guitar at the Swannanoa Gathering in NC and heard that he was there for mandolin week - incognito. He told no one who he was, took classes and they all figured it out afterwards. That's humility.
The humor and humility of this musical giant is astonishing and refreshing. Thank you
JPJ is an absolute legend... From Bass Guitar to Mellotron , to Mandolin, Guitar, and back up vocals and harmonies, he put the Zeppelin in Led Zeppelin, allowing them to soar to all sorts of epic heights! He has the Midas Touch with all instruments he plays, and with Led Zeppelin, he helped to revolutionize rock music forever and cast a massive shadow on the genre and a multitude of its subgenres.
Daniel Cole WHOA! Best anyone could ever say!
....agreed!!
Thank you, I couldn't have put it any better. No JPJ, no Led Zeppelin. Page, Plant, Bonham and even Peter Grant overshadowed JPJ but we're fortunate to witness now what an indispensable member of the band he truly was, just an incredibly versatile talent. Page knew what he was doing when he took JPJ into the band. JPJ's true talent within Zeppelin didn't quite come to the fore until IN THOUGH THE OUT DOOR when his experimentation was leading the band into am expanded 80's rock genre that sadly never saw fruition. And the one thing that I never understood is why he never played any guitar within Zeppelin save for "Ten Years Gone" live onstage (with bass foot pedals, no less). I wish that JPJ could live forever and it was also unfortunate that he was excluded for the Page/Plant UNLEDDED project in the 90's which he didn't take lightly.
DDEENY YES!!
DDEENY Too goddaamdned underrated! He is fantastic!
Goddamnit, I'm a 50 year old man, and this mans playing brings tears into my eyes.
What a brilliant musician jpj is , also a great personality , what a cool guy 👍
The most musically talented in Led Zeppelin, before during and after.
Every time a member of LZ is interviewed, it reminds me how they are some of the nicest rockstars/celebrities out there
JP Jones is one of his generation's greatest musicians.
He seems like such a very down to Earth person ! So talented !! Love Led Zep !
He was always the quiet one, but he has a delightful sense of humor. Wish we'd heard more from him back when he was with Zeppelin.
When I saw Led Zeppelin in 77. Basically all I heard about was how great Plant Page and Bonham were they were the favorites of the press and in all the pictures and magazines. The day I saw them Live I was amazed by John Paul Jones and how integral he was to the whole sound of the band.
And to think he almost quit Zeppelin to become a choirmaster at a church.
They were all great. He is perhaps the best musician in the band
Just shows that even in 1977 you should never take too much notice of what the press say! True Led Zep fans KNOW that it was a team effort and all were vital parts of that team. JPJ certainly played a huge part in their success.
moncorp1 Inc That church must've had some AMAZING choirgirls.
@@mgway4661 PERHAPS?
Intelligent, educated, modest. Pretty rare in the music world.
The arrangements in The Rain Song. That's all John Paul Jones.
Just such an underrated musician..so much it should be a crime
Wow. A very jazzed up version of "Going to California". So sweet.
Wow! He takes the mandolin to a WHOLE other level! Very soulful pickin'
Fantastic musician,incredible nice guy.
I was going to make a funny comment, then he started playing that and i just cried.
how many people rushed to their mandolins/12 strings or...
rushed out and bought a new one after watching as much I wonder? ( after wiping away the tears that is... )
:)
That's funny. You have NO IDEA how long i have been wanting a mandolin!!! 2017 may just be the year.
I just stumbled on this because I just got a mandolin and I wanted to learn Battle of Evermore. JPJ is amazing and an inspiration to me.
OMG God he is a farkin awesome musician!!!
JO did compose B of E, but JPJ had nuch more of an influence on LZ than people give him credit for. There is great recording of out takes from The making of LZ 3 and 4 where you can hear how much influence JPJ has on the Zeppelin sound. Black Dog was all his. He teaches Jimmy the riff.
Not a whole lot of people can shred on a mandolin.
+maxcohen13 To become a master alternating picking can make a huge difference?
*****
It helps, yes.
right, damn he tore that up.
That's fair enough ,hes not a specialist on Mandolin though.
this has nothing to do with shredding.
I love how he’s such a great musician yet still humble and good humored.
Could listen to that for hours. Picked it up and shredded it like it was nothing. What a talent. Thank you JPJ for a lifetime of your influence
Did you hear his comment when Mike said I brought my mandolin....John said "good thing left mine at home..." that was hilllarious and didn;t get any recognition most underrated muscian....
the better quick under the radar joke was 'it got left out in the rain a bit' as to how it shrunk.
what a gentleman. witty articulate smart and of course mando :)
Gotta love true genius, amazing yet humble. The moment he started playing my eyes stung a bit. That man is magic with instruments.
That entire middle section of Fool In the Rain is JPJ.
@@Sloppify Huh?
Every time that guy plays he gets into it... an amazing showmanship and passion in that guy.
Jonesy performs "Going to California on acoustic mandolin.
I spent my days with a woman unkind. Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Oooh ooh yeah ahh.
I loves me some John Paul Jones, y'all! So humble & modest yet so freakin' talented!!!
Arranger, bassist, keyboard. All-around nice guy. Rock on John.
Yes
total class is he
+entwistle4ever Saw him twice on the ZOOMA tour in NYC! Totally awesome! Before instrumental encores of BLACK DOG AND TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT, crowd went apeshit screaming "JOHN PAUL JONES....JOHN PAUL JONES...JOHN PAUL JONES!!!" to the point where with hands on his chest, I thought he was going to lose it. Such a touching moment, I'll never forget.
Frank Quitely nah you old
Nice man, not verybwitty but trying to and a vaguely boring tune
JPJ essentially "taught" me to play bass. One of my first moves with my new bass (back in 1968) was to learn every bass track on Zep's debut album. It gave me techniques I still use today as a working bassist. Thank you Jonesy!
that's awsome👍
One of my jobs is a studio musician in south Florida, ( guitar, piano). I owe it all to Zeppelin. I liked other bands but there was something about Zeppelin that I had to play their music! They played every style, so you had to learn everything.
I feel the same way about them that you do.
that's the best compliment you could ever give a musician
it is, isn't it. just wow ;) what a legacy.
That album was sublime, then he took it to the next level with LZ2
"This is tomorrow......."
I always remembered that part from The Song Remains, when JPJ gets the letter.
this man is a Living Legend! He is by and far one of the Greatest Musicians we have!... SO so so overlooked and underrated.
Jim B he’s not underrated by anyone who knows anything about music.
lovely fun interview and amazing mandolin stylings from JPJ.. ears cleansed by hi sounds and then suddenly house band plays loud smooth jazz on commercial break
A humble genius and the best all round musician in the band.
JPJ, the most underrated zep member!!! Love that guy!!
I mean he is surrounded by amazingly talented members so of course it was hard for him to stand out
@@latteson6254 He was most talented guy in group
Joel Banning he was it’s such a shame he was left out
Not underrated at all...
@@MrTimconaway
Why do idiots keep using the word underrated ?
I'm pretty sure they have no idea what it actually means .
JPJ underrated ?
Only by 8 year olds . . . . . .
Hes amazing one the most talented musicians ever. Totally underrated.
It’s always such a treat to listen to John Paul Jones talk. Very down to earth and honest.
Absolutely amazing! So talented and humble. What a different world we live in now.
Oh wow. Loved that little performance at the end. My eyes lit up when I heard what he was playing.
Being one of the greatest musicians ever, and still being amazed he could make a living out of playing music, that is next level humble. Also, kudos to Mike for asking John Paul Jones if he'd ever made out to Stairway, that's real journalism right there!
It's easy to see why he's been so successful.Just a terrific bloke and humble,just like Jimmy Page,very similar attitudes.Just great
This man is a national treasure. What am I saying, he's a global treasure! A rare jem..
Jonesy!! ❤️
That mandolin playing....awesome!
Love you, John Paul Jones!!!!
Love you, Led Zeppelin!
The man's a musical fookin magician.
JPJ what a humble and talented guy. Really impressed how he carries himself!! Thank you for a lifetime of music.
Out of All the Zeppelin members, John Paul Jones Always seemed to be in the Background and one of the most Underrated musicians Ever!! When I hear the Bass licks from "Heartbreaker" goes right through me, and the Keyboard which he not only played But wrote the song as well is "No QUARTER "!! One of my Absolute Favorite Zeppelin songs Ever!! Just turned 58 years old today and even my Mother loved All the musicians involved with Zeppelin!!
With Bonham, arguably the greatest rhythm section in rock.
Undeniably.
@Normalne Konto You aren't a musician are you hahaha
I’m still partial to Moon/Entwistle
Virginia Addis Please keep your eye on the street there should be a van coming by with a couple guys dressed in white and they will be taking you away for study and examination to see how badly deteriorated the human brain can be you’ll be a perfect science project it ain’t
6:55 Goin To California omg ....chills! !
+Caroline Martin I cried
oh yeah!
He's not playing Goin to California.
No he's not !
+Jazz Cat it is Going to California actually with a few variations.
From 6:53 until the applause....complete goosebumps for me. Amazing!!!!
Saw LZ my senior year of high school. No warmup act, just them. WOW! I've always admired JPJ's musicianship. A true master. I learned a lot from listening to him.
Probably the best all around musician in led zeppelin. That's coming from a huge Jimmy page fan.
I’m in love with John Paul Jones! So humble and down to earth and so talented! 😍
Definitely one of the most underrated guitarists of all times
John Paul Jones one of the greatest musicians of all time and don't get the credit!
seriously ...
Nice to see him on a small show like this. It makes it more real. Nice playing.
My band has played about 20 Zep songs. I've played guitar and bass, but mostly bass. The more you play JPJ, the more you realize that he was a genius.
That was beautiful, when he played a bit for the audience... Loved the sound of it - literally brought tears to my eyes! ( Gotten cheesy in my old age)
I thought it very gracious to give away a freebie like that.
Zeppelin has been on my mind lately, listening a lot, yet again and with new appreciation.
Great artist- great band
At 3:25 the interwiewer was sorry,because he interrupted JPJ.. That´s not so common...GOOD!!
3:21 actually :)
So true! This is a great interview, compare this with the one on Letterman, who always makes it about himself somehow
what did you expect from a Canadian ?
I agree. Nice interview
Very true indeed. He is not as shameless as Letterman and Charlie Rose, both of whom continuously interrupt their guests.
The least thing I was expecting is real face-melting on mandolin.
Hey you like led zeppelin and war thunder too?!
краб, ты че тут делаешь, старый динозавр!
действительно
One of my very favourite players of the mandolin... and bass, 12 string, piano, organ, etc. etc. etc.
He played - Going to California with such ease....what a master!
As far as I’m concerned he is the greatest bass player of all time with Geddy Lee a close second ! The base line in the “Lemon Song” is truly legendary !
Gotta love this bloke. No pretentiousness or ego, no airs or graces. A man who loves music for its own sake.
And yes Jones, he can play anything.
He comes over al mumbling and British, until you give him an instrument. Immediately, the majestic rock god he is bursts out.
Class act and one of the most overlooked musicians, ever, especially when you consider the band he's famous for. Incredible talent and ultimate team player...Jimmy knew you his 1st band mate was gonna be, especially considering the wealth of their respective collaborative, studio backgrounds. I taped this one when it was on the tube, a decade ago.
Good host, he makes the same old questions and they sound casual and interesting. then again, mr. jones makes everything sound better, precisely what a good bass man should do, so there you go.
John Paul Jones is insanely talented and humble at the same time!!! With nice British sense of humor.
What a fun interview! Loved every moment!
Arranged all the best stuff. Gofted and intelligent. Also, a freakin' legend!
One of the greatest musicians ever Great respect for John Paul Jones
holy crap..I used to love this show..missed this episode..so cool...JPJ doing going to California...what an awesome dude
When I heard the bass line to Ramble On, I wanted to play bass guitar. I'm impressed by JPJ's wholesome attitude. This is the first time I've ever seen Mike Bullard but I was impressed with him as well.
John would be the coolest granddad
I'm pretty sure he will be by now
7:48 What a performer, look at how he ends the song and 'snaps' back to the audience. What a cat.
What a musician for me he is the best ever
God Bless John Paul Jones! Thank you for your gift!
