Talk:John Paul Jones (musician)

message: The article is not quite ready yet to be nominated for GA. There is a lot of material that needs citing, and the article could do with a copy-edit to ensure a better reading flow (there are a number of very short paragraphs). It would be a quick fail as it stands. It might be better to withdraw the nomination, work on improving the article, and then nominating again when the work has been done.

message: Would this be alright to include in the infobox? He often played them while on keyboards. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 19:20, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say no. It's not something he's well known for playing. From Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument: "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used." Even Geddy Lee doesn't have them listed in the infobox.

replies: text: I'm not a major Led Zeppelin fan, but I initially knew him as the keyboardist of the band who handles the bass guitar parts with bass pedals. He, Geddy Lee, and Mike Rutherford are some of the some of the most notable bass pedal players in the music industry, in my opinion. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 01:42, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm starting to think JPJ and Geddy Lee both could use 'bass pedals' in the infobox. They certainly made extensive use of them. Willondon (talk) 03:00, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Bass Pedals

message: This article has long lists of equipment used by the subject with makes and models included.  I can see including the specifics of several of his most frequently used or unusual instruments, but the rest of that is excessive and can be seen as promoting products.  The emphasis in the article should be on the musician and how he plays the instruments, not on brand names.  I see that I am the second editor to point this out.—Anne Delong (talk) 09:24, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Instruments and other "gear" 

message: JPJ extensively played keyboards live and in the studio with Led Zeppelin and in his solo work - "keyboards" should definitely be listed as his second instrument in the infobox.
:His keyboard playing is a very important aspect of Zeppelin and their music, but as the lead states, he's best known as a bassist, therefore making keyboards secondary and according to the infobox's  documentation, secondary instruments are to be addressed in the article body. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:31, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think keyboards should go in. In Through The Out Door is dominated by them, and by the late 70s he seemed to be playing half the set behind them. This source includes clavinet on "Trampled Underfoot", Mellotron on "Kashmir" and electric piano on "No Quarter". More importantly, the lead says he's a multi-instrumentalist, so that kind of implies putting more than one there, doesn't it? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:26, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

message: The Contributions section states that he sometimes used "an unusual triple-necked acoustic instrument consisting of a six and a twelve string guitar." Is there a source for this, and what was the third neck for? Masato.harada (talk) 15:08, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
