John Paul Jones was Zeppelin’s secret weapon. Fuckin’ genius.

[rockytoptom]

"Were there other bands? I don't remember." That was killer

[zaphodbeeblebrox]

You can tell John Paul Jones is the comic relief of the group.

I respect Zeppelin for calling it quits when Bonham died. He was a huge part of their sound! It would never have been the same. How to describe Zeppelin.... legendary.

[kathycompton]

Robert Plant was the sexiest front man of a rock band ever. Led Zeppelin was the greatest rock band that ever was.

[elliotrussell]

Robert Plant is one of the most down to earth humble people on the planet… damn I love zeppelin!!

[japeri]

Led Zeppelin has immeasurable importance in the history of Rock.

[SX_Bucks]

When Robert said " the three of, the four of us...". I couldn't help but pause and shed a tear. R.i.p. Bonzo

[patrickhughes]

I'm really glad that John Paul Jones seemed like the voice of led zeppelin in the interview. He's 1/4 of the greatest rock band ever, and very under appreciated.

[Mai-Gninwod]

“1980, the drummer dies”
Come on man, say his name! One of the best of the 60s and 70s!

Robert and Jimmy finally realized about 50 years later that John Paul Jones is the secret sauce for great group interviews.

[avinavprasai]

2023 and Led Zeppelin is still the greatest rock band ever

[Mumblix]

Those guys have probably had the greatest ride this old world can give.

[kenneth-pcmf]

I have always been a Led Zeppelin fan.
But I never knew that John Paul Jones was that witty!!
The Guy is a stich!!

[tz]

Jimmy Page appeared so poised, down to earth, polite, and just a normal guy while answering questions! Class act!

[JunkBondTrader]

Robert Plant has always been such a down to earth guy for a band with such mystical, ethereal lyrics.

[TedBouskill]

There is something really cool about this that they trimmed out of this clip I've seen before. Robert Plant purposely made sure that it was him, then Jimmy Page, then John Paul Jones. I think that was deliberate to force the camera to show all four at once. If Robert has sat next to Dave's desk the camera would have zoomed in on those two. It gave Jimmy and the often unheralded John Paul more screen time!

John Paul Jones is always so hilarious. When he was touring in the 2000's he was a true front man always joking with the audience.

[kristinaanderson]

They are all so genteel, charming English gentlemen in their sunset years. Jones is a cut up. Love the contrast of the older photo of the jet when they were flying high versus now. They still fly high and always will. Mad respect.

[Peacefullyfree]

Not to take anything away from the others, but John Paul Jones is an extraordinary talented musician. One of the best.
