Q&A: John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17954023/qa_john_paul_jones_of_led_zeppelin

[Shaye]

My favorite LZ song always has been D'yer M'aker, I don't know if that will ever change...

After that its: Fool in the Rain, All my Love, The Ocean...and so on.

[DefGuy]

The Ocean and White Summer, they fucking rock

[whodunit?]

PRESENCE is such underrated album.

I have to confess I haven't get through the whole album before, but today I put it on my player and listened to it all the way through on my way home back from work. Rain, green fields and green forests. In one word: beautiful.

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is still my no. 1 though.

Zeppelin truely mad great music. But I hope most of you guys know that they stole a lot of their early work, from a lot of old blues guys, including 'dazed and confused' and 'whole lotta love, shit here is a pretty good  list of  of songs they  took credit for AKA PLAGARIZED -

• ""Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A folk song by Anne Bredon, this was originally credited as "traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page," then "words and music by Jimmy Page," and then, following legal action, "Bredon/Page/Plant."

• "Black Mountain Side" - uncredited version of a traditional folk tune previously recorded by Bert Jansch.

• "Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson). Blogovich sez: This gets complicated in the "imposter" Sonny Boy part. There were indeed two of the dude, Rice Miller (the second Sonny Boy) and John Lee Williamson (Sonny Boy I) although Sonny Boy II wound up being, arguably, the more well-known, partly because he lasted longer — Sonny Boy I was murdered at age 34 during a robbery, but we don't have time or space to get into all that; read a blues book if you're interested. Bottom line: Zep ripped the song off.

• "Communication Breakdown" - apparently derived from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."

• "Custard Pie" - uncredited cover of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down," with lyrics from Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Daddy."

• "Dazed And Confused" - uncredited cover of the Jake Holmes song (see The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes). Blogovich sez: This is the one to which Jeff, who commented on the blog, refers.

• "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" - uncredited version of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down."

• "How Many More Times" - Part one is an uncredited cover of the Howlin' Wolf song (available on numerous compilations). Part two is an uncredited cover of Albert King's "The Hunter."

• "In My Time Of Dying" - uncredited cover of the traditional song (as heard on Bob Dylan's debut).

• "The Lemon Song" - uncredited cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" - Wolf's publisher sued Zeppelin in the early 70's and settled out of court.

• "Moby Dick" - written and first recorded by Sleepy John Estes under the title "The Girl I Love," and later covered by Bobby Parker.

• "Nobody's Fault But Mine" - uncredited cover of the Blind Willie Johnson blues.

• "Since I've Been Lovin' You" - lyrics are the same as Moby Grape's "Never," though the music isn't similar.

• "Stairway To Heaven" - the main guitar line is apparently from "Taurus" by Spirit. Blogovich sez: Not "apparently". This one is startling. Taurus, by Spirit (great band, pick up a compilation at least, highly recommended), is an instrumental of three minutes' duration; Zep copied the entire song and used it as the intro to Stairway. Give it a listen. But sit down first. Ridiculous.

• "White Summer" - uncredited cover of Davey Graham's "She Moved Through The Fair."

I thought this was pretty common knowledge.

zepp is good, could never listen to them enough because i hate robert plant's voice

[whodunit?]

zepp is good, could never listen to them enough because i hate robert plant's voice

really? that's weird.

I love his voice on THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. I think he was better live than on the records.

I just grabbed THE SONG REMA........ reissue and it's perfect! I've always preferred movie-version songs rather than those on the LP. And the quality is incredible!

[theis]

plant has one of the best voices ever.

i guess, but i remember my sister playing zepp all the time, the opening riffs of "heartbreaker" had me hooked but as soon as plant kicks in, that's the put-cd-down part for me... especially on the live version of kashmir...

i haven't heard zepp in a while now, about 3 years, i think i won't mind plant's voice as much this time around... i just have the entire breeders' discography to listen to first
