Jones is a guy who is in the top ten in most of the polls or lists you see for "best bassists" , and yet he is still underrated as an overall musician and composer . He is a gifted guy and I'm glad that he chooses to play rock music
pay attention in how he changes the sound of the bass just with the dynamics. From very light to very brigth and strong. Light and shadow. That's the maestro. One day i will play with this guy. God Bless HIM!
judging jpj on his bass ability alone is a travesty. he was way more than a bass player for led zeppelin. his bass, keyboard, mandolin, ect. was what makes him one of the best musicians of all time
jpj by far the best bass player ever he was just as important to the greatest band of all time as page plant and bonham(rip) noone comes close to jpj the only ones i even consider to be close to him would be les claypool, enwhistle, and flea but still all the above are competing for the second spot jpj fucking rocks
JPJ!!!!!!!!! man, of all the bassists, he is so damn underrated. everyones like Page! Plant! Bonham! and that bassist guy...WRONG WRONG WRONG. hes the glue that keeps it together. many people, especially guitarists undermine bass players. its terrible.
and im a guitarist, and my god, and idol is Jimmy Page. nuff said.
He's amazing and...its got to be said, the man has aged so much better than his former bandmates. Hell, put a wig on him and he looks pretty much the same he did 40 years ago!
love john paul jones! what an idol! does anyone know what bass that is? because it doesn't look like his signature manson?

i agree the bassist is in this case under rated

Maybe the fact that he is underrated is good.
If Page and Plant were less arrogant, we would be able able to see tons of new Zep
material.

Nah, as much as I like Jonesy, Mark King from Level 42 is the best bassist I think.

John Paul aged better than the rest of the band, cause he smoked pot and drank, but didn't snort heroin powder like Plant and Page.
