Tonight Foo Fighters are the musical guest on SNL. It marks the 9th appearance of Foo Fighters as SNL musical guest, but Grohl himself has appeared on SNL with Nirvana, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Them Crooked Vultures and Paul McCartney. My personal favorite Foo Fighters' SNL performance was when they backed up Mick Jagger in 2012, but they've all been pretty awesome. Here is the detailed guide to his SNL appearances:
John Richard Baldwin (born 3 January 1946) was better known by his stage name John Paul Jones. He is best known as the bassist for the band Led Zeppelin. Before joining the band, he was a session musician with other bands. Jone's excellent bass work with a "thumping and strumming" sound worked well under Plant's unique vocals, Page's skilled guitar work, and John Bonham's wild drumming. After the death of their drummer, John Bonham, Led Zeppelin disbanded, and Jones played in other bands just as he did before he played with Led Zeppelin. Soon, Jones was done playing from band to band, and then he formed Them Crooked Vultures with members of other rock bands like Dave Grohl and Josh Homme. The Crooked Vultures aren't as blues-rock/metal" as Led Zeppelin was and more alt-metal. When he isn't making music with the bands he is playing with, he composes music for films and produces music for bands. Jones has been able to showcase his work over the past few years and will continue to do so.
What a lad! Keeping the poetry of Zeppelin alive with his music and steady beat. I had a lot of fun doing this! I used a different shading style and it was definitely rewarded. Also for carrying the music industry on your back!!!
