    Something Else Reviews recently featured an interview with bassist John Paul Jones about his musical influences. Here's an excerpt:

    Largely self-taught, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones learned most of his early craft on the bass from listening to albums from the Stax and Motown legacy. Even today, he says other musicians have much to teach him.

    “I had two, three lessons maybe,” he tells Elixir Strings. “But mainly I’ve done it by listening and playing to records. On bass guitar, my influences were probably (Booker T. and the MGs legend Donald) ‘Duck’ Dunn and (Motown stalwart) James Jamerson.”

    Damien Erskine, from NoTreble.com, received an interesting question:

    Q: I’ve applied to audition for a band. My problem is that I’m not actually convinced about their music. The reason that I still want to try it is because they play gigs that are a higher level than mine, plus the fact that they play, because I haven’t been doing much lately. I have never been great at networking, so I hope I get to know some people too. I could elaborate a bit more, but I don’t want to start a rant… How good or bad idea do you think it usually is to play in these kinds of situations?
