ImThatGuyToo Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi all. I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan, and I've been thinking. Jimmy Page and John Bonham each got chances to shine with Heartbreaker, Since I've Been Lovin You, Moby Dick, Bonzo's Montreaux, etc. Some could say that Robert Plant got a chance to shine with Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. When did John Paul Jones get his chance? I mean on the bass, not the organ. Please let me know what you think. The reason I ask is because if a non-zepp-fan asks why JPJ is so great, I want to be able to point to a song or two. For now I just refer to Dazed and Confused. Help!

Aunt_Acid Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Jerry Stackhouse. Oh no wait, that wasn't Led Zeppelin, it was the Pistons. And it wasn't drumming, it was basketball.. Damn! I always get those confused. Sorry, I guess I just can't help you then. But you live sort of near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 When hasn't he been phenomenal, two great examples: The Crunge & Ten Years Gone, but the entire band sparks on these songs, as well as about 100 others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 All these have cool bass lines: Ramble On Immigrant Song The Lemon Song The Song Remains The Same Bring It On Home Four Sticks Fool In The Rain What Is And What Should Never Be I Can't Quit You Baby Trampled Under Foot Your Time Is Gonna Come Good Times Bad Times Whole Lotta Love (the live versions on West and The Song are pretty awesome) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Dazed and confused. His bass is the main part of the song. JPJ has been my favorite Zeppelin member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 If you want to find JPJ's finest moments, I would recommend the following: Buy the box set of every album remastered. Listen to each cd carefully, writing down every tracks name. You now have a list of every Zep song that JPJ was brilliant on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImThatGuyToo Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Haha, I'm glad other people are as big zepp-nuts as I am. I agree that he's amazing, I was just looking for songs that, you know, feature him. I almost feel bad that he's looked at as the fourth Zeppelin member. I think that his talent is vastly underrated. So I guess we decided on Dazed and Confused. Thanks guys, for your help, and keeping a smile on my face while I read all these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
