Lenny Kravitz with John Paul Jones: Are You Gonna Go My Way (1993)

During the 1993 MTV Music Awards in September, 1993, John Paul Jones joined Lenny Kravitz on stage to perform Kravitz’s hit song, “Are You Gonna Go My Way”.

This isn’t the best video quality, but what struck me was how hard hitting the bass was in this live performance vs. the studio recording (with no offense to Tony Breit).

But of course, there’s only one JPJ.

    Awesome! I remember watching this as a kid in 1993 and being blown away by it, the baseline gets the JPJ treatment and that fender bass cool!

    John Paul Jones has got to be somewhere in everybody’s list of best rock bassists. He crushed that groove!

    JPJ is one of the best, but I much prefer Tony Breit’s version. Check out the bassline during the bridge on the original. It’s beautifully constructed.
