But according to longtime Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, that&#8217;s very nearly what happened while he was recording his famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/jethro-tull\/aqualung\">&#8220;Aqualung&#8221;<\/a> solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Jethro Tull was in the studio in 1971 working on <em>Aqualung<\/em>, their fourth album, Led Zeppelin was hard at work on <em>Led Zeppelin IV<\/em> in the same building. Barre was on his second take of the &#8220;Aqualung&#8221; solo when Page stopped by the studio, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/artists\/guitarists\/jethro-tull-martin-barre-looks-back-on-acqualung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barre told <em>Guitarist<\/em> magazine<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019d locked ourselves away and I hadn\u2019t seen Jimmy at all,&#8221; Barre explained. &#8220;Finally, he walked into the control room to say hello, just as I was recording the solo to &#8216;Aqualung&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jethro Tull&#8217;s Unspoken Two-Take Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N4zPu3ISCGs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of how Jethro Tull approached the recording process, that take was Barre&#8217;s last chance. If an idea wasn&#8217;t working out after two takes, it would be scrapped, and the band would move on. In the case of Barre&#8217;s &#8220;Aqualung&#8221; solo, if it hadn&#8217;t come together, it would&#8217;ve been replaced by a flute solo by frontman and band leader Ian Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was never spoken of, but essentially, you had a couple of goes,&#8221; Barre said of the band&#8217;s approach. &#8220;You didn\u2019t get 10 shots at a solo because the rest of the band had walked out; that\u2019s what you got.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Page was unaware of this when he visited. Rather than risk his take, Barre played on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was in the control room window, waving madly,&#8221; Barre explained. &#8220;I was in the middle of the solo, and I thought, \u2018Sorry, but I can\u2019t stop.\u2019 And I didn\u2019t. I just turned my back. Which was a bit rude. But that was the solo on &#8216;Aqualung&#8217;.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> And he never had the chance to explain himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He left before I finished,&#8221; Barre said. &#8220;I&#8217;m sure he understood that when you&#8217;re out there doing something, you need to get on with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barre&#8217;s choice to focus on his solo paid off. &#8220;Aqualung&#8221; is one of the band&#8217;s best-known songs, although it was never released as a single, and the solo is often hailed as one of the best in rock. The album is the band&#8217;s most successful, with over 12 million copies sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Jimmy Page paid a visit to Jethro Tull in the recording studio, he risked derailing an iconic guitar solo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":547050,"featured_media":2825,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":19,"post_id":80}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"(Photo by Larry Hulst\/Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images)","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[362,373],"byline":[19],"class_list":["post-3273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-jethro-tull","tag-jimmy-page"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Jethro TUll","term_id":362,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/jethro-tull\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
