NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 obviously there was a diliberate move of not using or even asking JPJ to perform with them. I wonder why? what was their mindset..i know at the RRHF Jonesy made a deliberate remark about them not ringing him up and what did they lose his ph # somethg to that effect..he had every right to be pissed off. he was a great contribution to this great unit and he seemed very low maintenence..i never heard any stories of him causing any trouble..what was the story here no jones??

NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I know there is storys of Robert and JPJ not getting on although are you implying though that it was all down to Robert? Jimmy must have had some sort of say, his mind wouldn't have just overlapped the thought of having their original Bass player. Edited February 2, 2011 by NobodysFaultButJimmys Quote

Sorry, I thought it was obvious that I meant I was relieved to see that the blame wasn't being laid at Robert's door for a change. I have always pointed out that the project was a joint one, and Jimmy wasn't a shrinking violet. The people who claim Robert would have gotten nowhere without Jimmy tend to be the same people who think he(JP) suddenly became powerless in the P&P project. Odd. Anyway, the simple truth is that they wanted to work together again - and didn't want it to be Zeppelin, so had no reason to involve Jonesy - tough as that must have been on him at the time.

I don't buy that, not for a second Jimmy is more then keen to bring back Zep and it's been said loads of times Robert has always been distant to JPJ more then anyone else it makes more then enough sense for Plant to get Jones out. Another bit of proof is at the RRHOF when Jones says "remember my phone number" Plant has a very sly look on his face: Look at 6:31 onwards. Quote

Page and Plant was a joint project. That's also how you started this thread - howcome you are now turning it into that tired old "It was all down to Robert" crap? Quote

Theres no way Jimmy is heartless enough to leave out John Paul Jones of a reunion with Plant and Page, if Plant and Jones did something together Jimmy would be more then pissed and vice versa, Theres something underlying there its blatant.

Knebby Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) There's some schizophrenia going on in this thread.

NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 There's some schizophrenia going on in this thread. But there's no "proof" whatsoever. How am I even saying two diffrent things there I've said: Jimmy wouldn't have been driven to LEAVE OUT JPJ out of a reunion with Page and Plant, so something HAD occured and it's more then likely Plant said something.

Knebby Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) So - you're saying that Jimmy had a say in it, but he was "over-ruled" by "heartless" Plant who wanted to leave out Jones? And you really think that's what happened? PAGE and PLANT If you are so sure about what happened - why did you start this thread? Edited February 2, 2011 by Knebby Quote
MrZoSo Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I do not think they intended to hurt JPJ, but the partnerships intent was a new begining. It was the next chapter. Page & Plant. In the end, it did clearly hurt JPJ a great deal. Quote

Thats exactly what I'm saying, Plant is Heartless per say, but it's truth he and Jones don't have the best track record together. Page and Plant ? (Leaves out the last Surviving member..) I'm not sure.. I have a foundation why I just want to get to the bottom of it Quote
betteremily Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Forgive me for asking, what difference will it make at the bottom? Quote

Page and Plant ? (Leaves out the last Surviving member..) I'm not sure.. I have a foundation why I just want to get to the bottom of it It leaves out no "last surviving member" - it was "Page and Plant", not "Led Zeppelin". It was a different project. He and Jones actually get along better than he and Page these days. They all have their ups and downs in their friendships and always have, but I don't think you could really produce a negative"track record". Robert wanted to work with Jimmy again, Jimmy wanted to work with Robert again. Jonesy wasn't in the picture at the time because neither of them wanted that. Simple but true - in-depth analysis won't change that. Quote

NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Hmm you produce an extremely valid point Quote
Electrophile Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Holy Christ. Are you seriously trying to suggest that the Page and Plant project turned into a giant "fuck you, Jonesy" all because they didn't invite him along? Just because they wanted to do something as a duo, doesn't mean they hate John Paul Jones and wanted to screw him over by not making it a "Hey, we know it's the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin, but it's not really Led Zeppelin" project. Let it go, man. Quote
Knebby Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Hmm you produce an extremely valid point Sometimes looking into this stuff too deeply just spoils our enjoyment. I love the Page and Plant project - do you? Quote

Let it go, man. I know it's not like that they were in a band together for 12 years, it just seemed fishy in a way that Robert and Jonesy IN THE PAST never got was on the best of terms, then 20 odd years later we see a reunion with Page and Plant only. But I see it in another perspective now. Quote
MrZoSo Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 What's knowing going to do or prove for you? That Robert is evil, and he is the reason all Led Zeppelin fans are miserable. DUH! Quote

Electrophile Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 That sure sounds like the point you're making. The Page and Plant project was meant to be a project with just the two of them. The absence of John Paul Jones from that project was not a slight, or meant to signify that either of the two them hated him, or had any sort of problems with him. Quote
betteremily Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 This Forum is a Trip. (why isn't there a trippy emoticon?) Are you a muscian NFBJ? Quote
