NEVER stop a Rock song in the MIDDLE of a guitar solo! Rule number ONE!
Yep she totally fuckin ruined it with all those pauses at crucial moments. FUCK! I was so annoyed, I wanted to watch because it seemed like a genuine first time listen, but how can anyone be so insensitive?
@@atypical1000It’s pretty insensitive of you to get so worked up over a reactor, reacting to a song😂. Everyone chooses to experience music in their own way. Just be happy this music is still being pushed to new audiences!!
If this great Zeppelin song can bring tears to a young woman's eyes, more than 50 years after its release, it must be an amazing song. Plant and Page, I just wish today's youth like this Russian picture of loveliness could have seen Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham in their primes. It would change her life as it did ours.
Led Zeppelin released Stairway to Heaven in 1971. I was 20 years old then. I felt very lucky to be young at a time of such fantastic music.
I was also 20 in 1971. When I got married in 1975, the beginning of this song was played instead of the wedding march! There was so much excellent music created back then! Deep Purple is another group that should be on the list of groups to react to (the song "Child in Time" is one of their masterpieces). 3 groups made up the "unholy trinity of british heavy metal. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. But if you listen to more Zeppelin, they can't be pidgeonholed into just 1 genre. 2 other (although there are MANY others) excellent Zeppelin songs are "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Since I've Been Loving You".
@@VolunteerRic here I am, 15 in 2023 and this is all the stuff I listen to, I can’t stand my generation’s music and I have a band myself. We all share one goal and that’s to start a musical revolution that will let our generation experience what you guys did. You experienced things like feeling excitement as you waited for these albums to release, I will never experience that. Through influences like led zeppelin and The Beatles at the base, it will be hard, but we’re gonna try.
@@asparaguscandid Good for You! You can't go wrong trying to create music that is the quality of those bands. You might be interested in hearing music by Liliac. They are a family band that started by covering that good rock music from the 70's. They are now putting out their own music and one song they did that I love is "Mars". There are 5 in the band and they range in age from maybe 13 - 21?
Yeah, I was 15 in 1971 & I've come to the conclusion that the 21st Century sucks & the 20th century rocked. :)
@@asparaguscandid Don't be upset that you're so young. You are at the beginning of the rabbit hole. And everything has already been created for you. So you can draw from the full. Unfortunately, some things still don't work for you. Many of the old warriors are no longer with us. And even I old man, didn't manage to see e.g. David Bowie live on stage. I wish you the best of luck in your musical search...
Irina, I'm 44, and I grew up listening to this through my parents in the 1980s. Led Zeppelin truly is legendary, hands down.
I'm 67 and been a fan of theirs since they first burst forth in 1969. I've heard this song 1,000s of times and it never gets old. You just can't go wrong with a Led Zeppelin song! Try When the Levee Breaks for one of the best songs and grooves you will ever hear. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I remember my high school music teacher telling us that the sign of "good" music, aside from whether or not a person likes it, is measured by how it stands the test of time. Zeppelin, as well as other rock music of that era, has definitely done so. Even now I see teenagers wearing Zeppelin tee shirts.. and I hear them listening to what we now call "classic rock". I came of age in the 80s, when pop music of the time (some of it was awful), and glam rock, was the mainstream.. and sometime in the late 80s, classic rock made a big comeback. That's when I discovered Zeppelin. Still love them
Zeppelin is arguably the greatest rock and roll band of all time. You can't go wrong with any of their music. There's a reason this band is still played on most rock stations to this day, whether it's a classic rock station or a modern one, they were that good.
maybe studio but the stones have them live. any live album… ladies and gentlemen, love you live, ya yas, texas 78, etc. studio not that great. but nobody takes them live. my subjective opinion
You could make a great case for Fleetwood Mac being the best also. The most fun has to be ZZ Top.
@@cotto-kx4qb And you know what they say about opinions…sorry, but Zep not only outsold the Stones 3:1 in the first half of the 70s, they recreated complex studio recordings live with only four musicians, as opposed to the Stones’ five, PLUS the multitude of hired extras.
In all honesty, the Beatles really are the greatest. But Zep is right behind them.
@@Walker_Bulldog yooo mac is underrated!!! I fucking Love that band !! God damn they were good!!
@@BBaldwin Facts!
One of the greatest songs ever from, in my opinion, the greatest band ever.
Well... We must all not forget the pedestal that some musicians have built before and on which Led Zeppelin was also built. For England, that's The Beatles and The Stones...
You come from the land of Pushkin, Lermontov, Tyutchev and other great poets, so it's only natural that you are paying attention to the lyrics, which are pure poetry. Thanks for your reaction! God Bless!
Yeah, but the guys come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow)
@@rosslav4ik Russia and Canada the 2 great lands of ice and snow! I'm from Canada but my lineage is Russian ❤
@DeusSalis
Come from the land of ice and snow, The "Immigrant song" another classic Led Zeppelin song about the Vikings.
youve just heard the best band ever and 1 of the best songs ever written by anybody EVER!!
This song runs full circle and comes back to the beginning. You're right, this group of four guys were all musical geniuses and considered by many the most talented rock musicians and song writers ever at least up there with the top five. Your reaction was the same as when I first heard this song back in 1971 when I was 20 years old. This band has many more great songs to wow you. There are so many more bands and solo artist from this time with equally amazing songs.
Led Zeppelin is for the ADVANCED music listener. 💥💥💥👍😎
We played Stairway to Heaven, and, Freebird at my brother's funeral. 😢
Probably the two most iconic songs ever written, both classics, both loved around the world, both that have touched so many.
This music will forever be timeless!
What a magnificent funeral!
You should have also played 'Going Underground' by The Jam
🙏🙏🙏
67 years old here. I'm transported back to my high school days slow dancing with my girl. The memories wash over me. It was an incredible time. A lot of music had so much meaning. This and others like it are treasures of our lives. Awesome
Zeppelin are true legends, icons, GOAT!!!!!! I’ve been a super fan since ‘69 of Zep & Robert Plant (vocals)&still listen to them every single day!!!!
LED ZEPPELIN, "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN". Considered by many the greatest song ever written. As for me, one of many . The 60's, 70's, and 80's into the mid 90's. Gave us the best music ever. Documented my childhood thru my Teens , and 20's, 30's, and 40's . Then the scene changed and music with it. That's neither here, or there. I am so glad to see, and hear that the youth is listening to the past what I knew was brand new song, after song. After all it was created for everyone. Great reaction my dear. More groups too explore. CREAM, BEATLES, ROLLING STONES, YES, THE WHO, PINK FLOYD, DEEP PURPLE, STEELY DAN, BOSTON, CHICAGO, SUPERTRAMP, DOOBIE BROTHERS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, THE ANIMALS, THE ZOMBIES, JETHRO TULL..To name a few. Those years were not all screaming guitars or vocals. I found the longer that the song was. More likely the song became an iconic Masterpiece. 🎶✌🎵
Top selection of bands, add to them STYX, METALLICA, ELO, QUEEN, MOODY BLUES,
In 1971 I was 3 years back from Vietnam so I have been listening to Led Zeppelin for over 50 years. If this album was released today, it would be a massive hit.
This song is on many charts as favorites song. And Led zeppelin is amongst many favorite groups. They have been well-known since 1969. They came from England. At a time when many great English groups were dominant in Rock music. Other great groups from Great Britain were the Beatles. Rolling Stones Who JethroTall Electric light orchestra Black Sabbath Pinkfloyd. Many more. Amongst all of these great groups you will find hours of great music. Songs over 50 years old and still as popular as they were when they came out.
You forgot about the KINKS
QUEEN?! I'd definitely put them over ELO when talking about the greatest English rock bands.
@@yelljal2764 Did Queen not come a bit late for the 60's...? But you have for sure to mention Deep Purple and Cream...
good list, but 1st on it should have been Genesis
Led Zeppelin are my favorite rock band ever. Specially (but not only) this amazing song.
Hey number ONE RULE NEVER EVER PAUSE DURING A GUITAR SOLO!!!
Seen Led Zeppelin in concert……Twice! Absolutely fantastic!!
Biggest band on the planet at the time. Centerpiece of the fourth album.
That's a stretch! We all know who the biggest band is and will always be! The 'at the time ' comment was good though!
@@danilleblanc7487 Yup! The Beatles will always be the best!
@@danilleblanc7487 What are you trying to say? The original comment was 100% correct. Name one band bigger at that time.
The official #1 Classic Rock song of all time, by absolute rock ROYALTY! Thanks for your reaction.
The greatest rock song ever from the greatest most talented band. Think about the build of this song and how it pulls emotions from you. From a slow mellow relaxing start to increasing in volume speed and instruments ending ith full-blown rock and then bringing you back down at the end. A true Masterpiece. Love our reaction. Do more Zepplin like going to califormia and Kashmir to see their diversity.
The most influential artists of all time, in the genre.
You're listening to the most iconic song, by the greatest band. Like Beethoven or Mozart, this song will stand the test of time.
Eres hermosa dulce y vendible Led Zeppelin es lo más grande siempre y para siempre
I'm 58 and I grew up with these guys. They never evolved. They started out and ended up Rock Gods.🤘🤘🤘
I a. 72 yrs old and saw Led Zeppelin in Texas 12 times. Amazing. So glad I am old enough to experience them live.
Half the gang I used to listen to this music with climbed the stairway, and I'm not even 40. Good times, only memories left
"Stairway to Heaven" is the greatest rock song of all time. Thank you for your reaction. I enjoyed listening to it again, with you.
This band was ONE of the GREATEST BANDS EVER.. THIS SONG OPENS UP LIKE A FLOWER.
Music could unite the world!!
You are happy because it is one of the greatest songs ever written. Yes, it is a masterpiece.
I love how she stopped it and said it was 0 to 100 half way through 🙂
I saw Led Zeppelin in concert in 1969 and 1970. They didn't do this song until later. Nevertheless, they were electrifying in person. There are so many great songs - "Kashmir", "Dazed and Confused"(live performance) and "When the Levee Breaks" are just three examples.
You're so lucky. You saw Robert's prime voice in person. Must be an amazing experience.
You lucky bastard! I was a teen, when both Johns died. A very sad year, in England. And the Thatcher bitch was rulin' the country...
The Rover
Thank you for your words and your opinion. Led Zeppelin was a British rock band that is deep in the hearts of western people. Everyone knows of them and most have heard them. Another band I could recommend is Aerosmith... another rock band from the same time in history.
Have you noticed that the sound of the song is a stairway. Starts slow, next step a little louder, then a little louder, the drums come in, the next step. Then the guitar solo, next step. Then Robert Plant at the top of the stairway... "And she's buying the stairway to heaven"...
That's the best guitar solo I've ever heard in my life 🥺❤️
I saw Zeppelin live at Live Aid, Philadelphia 1985. RFK stadium. They played this song and I cried. Everyone in the entire stadium was standing. It was so beautiful. I loved it.
I was some 13 to 14 years old when I discovered Led Zeppelin, hooked at first by "Black Dog," from their untitled fourth album, which I bought and which had me totally hooked. This was a phenomenal song from that album. I then proceeded to buy their other albums up through the last one they had recorded before their drummer had tragically died and they had disbanded.
There is nothing else quite like this, and yes, it is a masterpiece
From America with love. Thank you for the video.
I live in Texas, and many of us just want peace and happiness. Just like you.
The greatest rock band of my youth. Zeppelin is the soundtrack of my life. Listen to a cut called BLACK DOG.
Wonderful reaction and thank-you for sharing. Your authenticity is so encouraging and it really shows the universality of great music. I'm an American and I love Zeppelin and Russian classical composers. The future is yours and my kids' generation and I think it will be a great one when I see your openness and willingness to embrace new experiences (even if the music is older than you).
I had the album, Led Zeppelin IV, where this song came from back in high school in 1972.
50 years later it still sounds fresh.
So glad that you discovered this epic song!
This song, released in 1971, was generally believed to be one of the greatest rock songs ever, and usually THE GREATEST. It still is.
Robert Plant is the lead singer, Jimmy Page the lead guitar, John Paul Jones on bass and the late, great John Bonham on drums.
I recommend that you also react to the live version, a video, of this song at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1973.
(The greatest cover of this song is probably done by Heart, at the Kennedy Center Honors, honoring the 3 surviving members of Led Zeppelin.)
Awesome reaction!!!💕💕💕
I either read somewhere or heard in an interview, that Freddie Mercury loved this song so much that he was inspired to do a similar song. That song became Bohemian Rhapsody.
This song came out in November of 1971 I remember hearing my old cousin play it over and over. I was 8 years old at the time. When I was ten I learned to love the song and was a Zeppelin fan from 73 and still am today. One of the greatest bands of all times. You need to watch the live version from NYC
I like your inquisitive mind and positive thoughts regarding this great classic.Your right about the days 50-60 years ago.They were times of enlightenment that slowly changed into today's world.Its hard not to say they are missed
This is considered THE BEST Rock song ever recorded!!!!! Early 70's
Canadian Grand Pa Here, Wait until you Hear Led Zeppelins, " Since I've Been Loving You ", Beautiful Blues. I loved your Reaction to the song.Take Care Love, XoxoXO!
Thank you so much! You’re awesome!Thank you for being here for me
@@RussianReactionReviews Canadian Grand Pa Here, I thought You Might want yo See this Video. I Feel this Trilogy of Songs are as Good as Any Music that has ever
Existed. It will Make You Cry even when You have a Problem with REN's Accent. Check it Out and See what I mean, Loves Ya, give Puppy a Hug while you Watch it. XoxoXO

Pausing in the middle of that guitar solo is criminal.
So many transitions to this song, it brings to many elements together, so beautifully
In the 70s Led Zeppelin were considered the best Rock band in the UK after Smokie. I recommend Smokie playing “I’ll meet you at midnight” in 1976 on BBC's Basil Brush Show. It will bring tears to your eyes.
I literally grew up listening to this group, and song 🎶🎸I envy you getting to hear it for the first time. Enjoy 😉👍🙏
Greatest band in history! Watch their live performances!!
I'm almost 48. I heard this song as a kid in the mid 80's. I was absolutely blown away. It led me down the rabbit hole of 70's hits. It was a great journey!
I love watching your reactions, not only beautiful but insightful. You being early twenties not knowing that LZ was one of the greatest world wide mega rock and roll bands of all times shows how cut off the Russian people are from the rest of the world. I am 70 and this song came out November 1971. God bless you young lady.
There's a lot of young people in America who knows nothing about older music.
I am 57 and I also grew up with Led Zeppelin. This album set on my record player probably 50% of the time. Because of me my son, who is 30 and my daughter who is 23, also grew up with Led Zepplin and they love it.
PS A good friend of mine has live bootleg 8 tracks with never published songs.
"Stairway To Heaven" is more than THE antheme of the whole Rock History. It's THE revelation at all.
Now you have given them your soul and they'll never give it you back.
I’m 19, been listening to rap my whole life, until I found classic rock, def leopard, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, ac/dc, I could go on for awhile. But I can’t turn back to rap, it’s boring now. I have to say to the people who were teenagers in the 80s and 90s are so lucky, I wish I was born then, life just seemed so fun and not serious. now I always gotta be worried about getting shot or robbed, when my parents talk about being teens and just everything they did with their friends, listening to rock and just having fun, I can’t relate, I use to go to school thinking what if it gets shot up today, will I make it home. They also talk about the feeling of being invincible, I never felt that, just because of everything happening in the world now. I wish I had that feeling of invincibility and just having fun and living life. I’m 19 and honestly I feel like I’m old, life is so boring already due to everything that has happened recently, but classic rock has changed my life for the better. But it’s not like I can go see them in concert, I mean I can but it’ll just be older men, like you guys got to be around their age and grow up with them, and also nobody around my age I know likes this music, so it’s not like I can listen to it and have fun with my friends, they’d just turn the music off.
You can listen to both :) even tho i listen to rock more i cant stop listening eminem 2pac 50 etc.
Led Zeppelin is the greatest Rock band in the world. I been listening to Led Zeppelin since I was 5 years old (1975). 52 years old now and Led Zeppelin’s music is priceless, magical, and never gets old.
I wish I was discovering Zeppelin for the first time again.
my lady, you just listened to one of the greatest rock songs in history. a "classic" I grew up with this music in the late 60's and 70's!! Peace.
Zeppelin was amazing. It was a pleasure watching your reactions. Such a beauty.
"Stairway to Heaven" is described as progressive rock,[17][18] folk rock,[19] and hard rock.[19] The song consists of three distinct sections, beginning with a quiet introduction on a finger-picked, six-string acoustic guitar and four recorders in a Renaissance music style[20] (ending at 2:15) and gradually moving into a slow electric middle section (2:16-5:33), then a long guitar solo (5:34-6:44), before the faster hard rock final section (6:45-7:45), ending with a short vocals-only epilogue. Plant sings the opening, middle, and epilogue sections in his mid-vocal range; he sings the hard rock section in his higher range, which borders on falsetto.
Lol someone is a music nerd like me 🤣🤣 nice job brutha!!

Masterpiece indeed!
You are so lucky to get to discover Led Zeppelin for the first time!
Voted the greatest song of all time.
Led Zeppelin easily the Greatest Band ever
this song hit the radio in 1971
I'm 64 now. I remember the very first time I ever heard this song. I can close my eyes and I'm a teen again if only for a few minutes.
Oh yes, it IS rock music, and yes the lyrics in this song are powerful. It is a masterpiece. It stands out in many, many ways: philosophically deep, on the futility and shallowness of frantically chasing money and material gain. At the same time the music is beautiful, almost hypnotic, and thrilling all at once.
72 now, listened to this so many years ago - still sounds great!
Listening to your reaction to a song that was written by the greatest rock band of all time was nothing short of PHENOMINAL. The way you described it was just as beautiful as the words written in the song. I have listened too so many people's reactions of songs from this rock band but the way you actually described it was very beautiful. There was something very poetic about it. I look forward in hearing more reactions from your channel. AWESOME JOB!!!! Until next time, keep rocking!
Hello from New Jersey, U.S.A. Irina. I clearly remember this band from my youth in the late-70's. I hope you're able to enjoy ALL of Led Zeppelins' music.
Rock on! ty
@@RussianReactionReviews You're very welcome, little lady. I'm old enough to remember Led Zeppelin in the late70's Keep enjoying classic rock.
this song is considered as one of the best songs ever
THE GREATEST ROCK SONG EVER WRITTEN! Led Zeppelin was one of the Most Iconic Rock Bands in History! I place them right after The Beatles on the All Time Hierarchy of Rock Bands!
Im 67 and started listening to it when i was 13, love it!
I will be 63 next month and it brings back some really good memories
You have gorgeous hair and your eyes I can get lost in very easily. Thanks for the zeppelin review. Grew up with this song and listened to it nightly on my Walkman when I was in grade school.
Masterpiece!
I Think you would love Led Zeppelin’s “Since I’ve Been Loving You” live! Madison Square Garden 1973
If you enjoyed this, check out Heart's cover of this song as Led Zeppelin was being honored at the Kenedy Center. Ann & Nancy did an amazing job covering this song in front of the 3 remaining artists in the band. It may be one of the best covers.
And John's son, who knew all of them, since he was a child, played the drums...
Over produced and unnecessary in my opinion.
I'm 62 and Zep was my first concert in Tampa 1973.
No question, The greatest rock band Ever, and just a little side note, you are beautiful
Led-Zeppelin greatest rock band ever.
I consider this the greatest rock song in history and value it so much that I make an effort not to hear it too often. When you listen to a song too frequently, you stop hearing it.
thanks so much for the comment
I'm 51 and listened to Zeppelin a lot in high school. I graduated in 89 and the summer before Senior year four classmates were killed in a car accident. Our whole class dedicated the year to them obviously and this was our song. We graffitied the outside of the High School with Stairway to Heaven.
Such a great song!
You have beautiful eyes. So much emotion. Thank you for the reaction. I've been listenting to this song since the 70s when it came out. I'm sure you'll be listening to this song for the rest of your life. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much!
Greatest rock song ever written!!!!!!!!!
Yes, you could call it a rock ballad . Peace & Love.
to be a rock and not to roll. That line, literally, transcendeds
Heart did the best cover of this masterpiece
at Kennedy Center with the Guys from Led Zeppelin in it omg
When I think of all my favorite rock bands during my teen years in the 70's, when I was a teen Zep was up there but likely not on top (although I did see them in '77). But looking back at all of the iconic bands of that era, I realize the rare combination of talent in this one band and I realize in awe how good they all were. Bonham is widely considered the #1 rock drummer of all time. Page easily makes every top 5 list as does Plant. John Paul Jones makes the top 20 in most lists, and that's as a bassist but he did so much more with mellotron and keyboards. Page was a brilliant composer/producer, their lyrics are top notch, it goes on and on. So rare for a group of four top notch musicians to not only be in the same band, but they stayed together and didn't ever split up due to egos. The fact they immediately ended the band when Bonham died shows how much each member considered the others to be keys to their success. What other band couldn't go on without their drummer??!! Can't think of one. Drummers were always considered to be easily replaceable.
Where Led Zeppelin excel is in their blues orientated songs.
They have a ton of fantasy based songs (Lord of the Rings). Misty Mountain Hop, Over the Hills and Far Away, Ramble on.
Slide guitar (Travelling Riverside Blues) ,smooth baselines, fantastic drummer (RIP John), and Robert Plants soothing vocals
A lot of people consider them a pioneer of ‘heavy metal’ they’re not.
They’re a blues orientated rock band. Possibly the best ever.
Also, they have the best opening song to a debut album ever….literally ever.
Led Zeppelin are one of the greatest live bands, Robert Plants vocals are out of this world, you should listen to Since I've been loving you - live at Madison Square gardens it's incredible.
My friends and I used to argue which was the greatest rock band of all time. Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. I remember one instance where someone who suggested that it was someone else was voted out of the conversation.
Notice how the song slowly builds momentum and speeds up. That just wasn't done in 1971. This song broke a lot of ground.
This music is 50 years old! I was in high school at the time! I’ll be 65 years old soon. Great song!
Talk about iconic.
Do not stop this great track before it has finished !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
