OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi Shana. No, I WOULDN'T leave them out on purpose. They weren't just a great Band, they were all individually very talented musicians (especially Jimmy Page), and were all in demand for session work before LZ. John Paul Jones also produced many fine songs for other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've finally given the bass guitarists the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Without the bass player, that rock 'n' roll thunder's just not there. Rock on, boys!!
