Lee Flier Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by steadyb: John Paul Jones is brilliant.Yeah, you're not kidding! What's he up to these days, anybody know? I think the last time I saw anything about him was when Zep were inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and he thanked Page and Plant (who were on tour together at the time) for losing his phone number.
Gulliver Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by Lee Flier: ... What's he up to these days, anybody know? ... He's released two quite strong solo albums "Zooma" and "Thundertheif". (Lee, beware of "Zooma" though... it's strictly instrumental! ) You can learn more at his website . Vlad I am back.
Cowfingers Posted July 23, 2002 Author Posted July 23, 2002 well, i remember an interview with the red hot chili peppers just after they recorded Californication, and they said they asked JPJ to session on some of the songs. in the end he asked for so much money that they couldnt justify it. sounds like a pretty crazy amount of a band of their size cant justify it!

Imbecilia Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by Cowfingers: sounds like a pretty crazy amount of a band of their size cant justify it!I remember that David Gilmour wanted Steve Winwood for his "About Face"-Album. Therefore he had to record the album in Winwood`s own studio for a ridiculous price. Jon Lord, Roy Harper and others worked on the album for regular conditions...

Tedly Nightshade Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 For a while John Paul Jones was touring with Diamanda Galas, whose albums include Wild Women With Steak Knives, The Litanies of Satan, and Plague Mass. Diamanda used to play piano for Ornette Coleman, now she makes unholy tortured vocal sounds with her opera-singer-gone-way-more-wrong-than-Nina-Hagen voices. Very very scary stuff. She feels strongly that she should have been the singer for Led Zeppelin. That would have been truly amazing. A WOP BOP A LU BOP, A LOP BAM BOOM!
