The Led Zeppelin Member Nobody Talked About - John Paul Jones

The Led Zeppelin Member Nobody Talked About - John Paul Jones #LedZeppelin #JohnPaulJones #LedZeppelinHistory #HighVoltageRockHistory John Paul Jones was the fourth member of Led Zeppelin - the one history forgot to credit. Before the band existed, he was one of London's most in-demand session musicians, playing on hundreds of recordings for artists including the Rolling Stones, Donovan, and Dusty Springfield. Inside Led Zeppelin, he wrote the Black Dog riff on a train ticket, played the Stairway to Heaven recorder intro, and delivered 20-minute keyboard solos every night on No Quarter. In 1994, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reunited without telling him — and named the project after a song he co-wrote. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1995, he had one thing to say about it. This is the full story of John Paul Jones: his session career, his musical contributions, the crisis that nearly ended his time in the band, the betrayal, and the post-Zeppelin career that proved he never needed them. Featuring Them Crooked Vultures, R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, and the truth about who actually wrote some of Led Zeppelin's most iconic moments.
