As Zeppelin fans are well aware, while Jimmy Page and Robert Plant might be the first names casual listeners associate with the band, Jones played an incredibly important role in creating Led Zeppelin's sound. One of the most innovative musicians of the era, he was equally brilliant on bass, keyboards, mandolin, recorder and Mellotron.
Considering the fact that "Good Times Bad Times" is still one of Led Zeppelin's most beloved songs of all time, Jones clearly struck songwriting gold...but he didn't make things easy for himself in the process.
In Martin Popoff’s book Led Zeppelin: All The Albums, All The Songs, Jones explained his approach to writing riffs, noting how his compositions differed from the ones that Page wrote.
In a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, Page acknowledged his bandmate's contribution to the song.
Page reflected on how people reacted to the song in the BBC Book Guitar Greats.

The guitarist was right about everybody being knocked sideways when Led Zeppelin came out.
"The swagger is there from the get-go, on 'Good Times Bad Times': Jimmy Page's guitar pounces from the speakers, fat with menace; John Bonham's kick drum swings with anvil force; Robert Plant rambles on about the perils of manhood. Hard rock would never be the same," Kot continued, adding, "There may be better, more refined Zep albums than Led Zeppelin...but none sounds quite as gratifyingly raw or is as comprehensive in defining the band's intentions."
