ToxxicaL Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I know that JPJ wrote the riffs to Black Dog and Good Times Bad Times, but is there any other riffs he wrote for Led Zep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 "No Quarter" and "Trampled Underfoot" and most of In Throught the Out Door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 JPJ is quoted as saying (paraphrase) "if the riff has a lot of notes- then it is probably something I brought to the band" that is many, many impressive songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weslgarlic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 When John Entwistle died , Robert Plant eulogised about important he was to The Who. I thought maybe he should realise John Paul Jones was just as important to Led Zeppelin when he decided to go out as Page & Plant ,Let’s hope the 02 gig changed his mind if only for a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the chase Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I believe that if JPJ is in the credits and there's no keyboards, he most likely wrote the riff..

SEBASTIAN_V3TTEL Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 JPJ is quoted as saying (paraphrase) "if the riff has a lot of notes- then it is probably something I brought to the band" Yeah, I've heard/seen a similar quote by Jimmy Something like "...and if the riffs are big with powerful chords, then that's one of mine" or words to that effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well on the 1995-1996 Page/Plant tour it took two full orchestras, 1 bass player and a keyboard player and a hurdy gurdy player to replace JPJ's haha Although Page and Plant had two full orchestras (American and Egyptian), 1 bass player (Charlie Jones - Robert Plant's son in-law) and 1 keyboard player (Edward Shearmur) and a hurdy-gurdy player (Nigel Eaton), this does not mean that all of those/them were to "replace" John Paul Jones. Only a bass player and the keyboard player could try and replace Jonesy since John Paul played both instruments, par excellence. As far as I know, the hurdy gurdy was never played on any Led Zeppelin song. And Jonesy never played in one, much less two orchestras. John Paul Jones may have arranged and/or directed an orchestra for "Kashmir" but he never played in one during Led Zeppelin's reign. Page and Plant had the two orchestras to add a different feel and texture to the songs that required them. Not to say that They needed them to replace or replicate the sound of Mr. John Baldwin. Although I will admit that I think that Jonesy did and could play the part of 2 orchestras just as good with two hands and two feet on His mellotron. By the way, what was with the "haha" at the end of your post? What was that supposed to signify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 In The Light is another one that JPJ was a big part of the writing. If you compare the early versions of In The Morning to the finished In the Light there are places that originally had keyboard sections that contain the bare bones of the guitar/bass riffs that replaced them in the final arrangement. By transporting the keyboard line to the stringed instruments they came up with riffs that are more unusual than if they had been writen on guitar/bass.

Dallas Knebs Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 anyone else think JPJ had a large part in writing and arranging HHWCID? Lots going on there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedjeffy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 anyone else think JPJ had a large part in writing and arranging HHWCID? Lots going on there... Not really. The whole song flows really smoothly with logical cord progressions like a Page-written song. It's probably the earliest example of Page's Guitar Army, IMO, with the layers of guitar and mandolin. Obviously, JPJ was given freedom on the bass part, and I think that he also played the mandolin on the outro section. Page just isn't that GOOD of a mandolin player to pull that off.
