Electrophile Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 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. You can't imply causation where there isn't any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sometimes looking into this stuff too deeply just spoils our enjoyment. I love the Page and Plant project - do you? I Loved that project. Although I thought Jimmy needed a haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabe Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Another interesting thread. If one were to roll the dice, who would have been playing bass if the 'other' Mr. Jones was not connected to Robert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betteremily Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm not taking the piss. Why is it when someone asks a question around here, it's a premeditation to piss people off? How do you know why I was asking if you were a musician? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missytootsweet Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Nobodys Fault, Instead of looking at why John Paul Jones wasn't picked to be in the Page/Plant group, perhaps we should look at who was in the band. Charlie Jones (an excellent bassist in his own right, I'm sure) was/is married to Robert's daughter Carmen. Maybe the the decision wasn't so much to exclude JPJ from anything as to include a family member. Just a thought. I have no idea if this is the reason, of course................... missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecongo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The fact is that if Jimmy & Robert had told JPJ ahead of time instead of JPJ finding out from a reporter, this whole point would be moot. P&P disrespected JPJ by doing that. I'm sure JPJ would've understood if only they had approached him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jimmy must have had some sort of say. The invitation to perform on MTV's Unplugged was extended to Robert, not Jimmy. Given the opportunity, it was Robert who invited Jimmy to participate in the project. It's been said this was essentially Jimmy joining Robert's band, but I think that's an oversimplification of what was initially a rather delicate balance between the two. Now JPJ is a very formidable musician in his own right and everyone knows once you bring him into the project it basically becomes "Led Zeppelin" as opposed to "Page/Plant". It was discourteous not to inform him, but they're only human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was discourteous not to inform him, but they're only human. This is the reason I've always thought why Jones wasn't included. With him involved most people would have looked at this as a reunion with all of the attendant expectations - Zep-like music, mostly Zep setlist. Without him P/P had the freedom to do something different and not be burdened with the weight of their past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Page Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 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. Epic Burn by JPJ.

Silver Rider Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 At 6:41 Robert Plant turns to Jimmy Page and says something to him that looked like "what'd he say?" Then Jimmy Page responds. At 6:46 Robert Plant pats his jacket as if trying to find his telephone book. At 7:14 Robert Plant began by saying, "Eh, before we swap phone numbers..."
