When I was young I told my dad I wanted to be a drummer, he put on the Zeppelin 1 album and left me alone. I've been drumming for 30 years now. Bonzo is just different.
John Bonham was definitely, 'different'! How has John Bonham influenced your drumming style? Please elaborate and explain. 2-2-4 beat? 2-4-2-4 beat? Triplets, maybe?
I'm not an expert or judge of great drummers. But I do know John Bonham was somehow different he could get soul and emotion out of a clinical and sterile instrument
@@davidwalker5054 Just curious, but how are the drums 'sterile'? Is the guitar, 'fertile'? The drummer is the foundation of any basic band: Drummer. bassist, lead/rhythm guitarist, singer/frontman.
If you haven't listened to When The Levee Breaks you have no idea what Bonzo was capable of. He was the most astonishing drummer ever. His arms were so strong to play like that he probably could've bench pressed a freaking Mack truck without breaking a sweat.
On their first album this amazing track follows You Shook Me. Led Zeppelin take you to a place you can only imagine in your wildest rock dreams. I love your appreciation of my most favourite music ever.
Just saying -- this Led Zeppelin first album came out a year before the first Black Sabbath album. So, Bill Ward took a page out of the John Bonham/Led Zeppelin book for Black Sabbath's first album. This song Dazed and Confused came out prior to Led Zeppelin's song Whole Lotta Love, as well. Love your reaction.
Did you ever notice just how fresh Led Zeppelins music still sounds even though it's around fifty years old at this point? There are lots of reasons behind this. Most of it starts with excellent song writing and continues with how the music is shaped by each of the four members of the band. It continues through the innovating recording process where their talent as individual artist can be enjoyed individually and collectively. It set a standard for rock music that only a few bands in history could ever achieve.
Yes, you're right! But much of LZ's timelessness, with the studio recordings anyway, comes from Jimmy Page's mastery of studio production: Mixing, arranging, etc,. Don't get me wrong, Zep was both a studio AND a live band! Great at both!
The best way to experience Zeppelin is to watch their concert film "The Song Remains the Same". There is a 25 minute version of Dazed and Confused that will blow your mind. Also keep in mind that during the "70"s a Led Zeppelin concert was typically over 3 hours long and they sustained this intensity through the whole show. Absolutely amazing.
As good as TSRTS is I prefer Royal Albert Hall from 1970. Plants voice was in its prime and the band was firing on all cylinders. Don’t get why that concert doesn’t get more attention.
Back in the day Dazed and confused took one side of a two cassette album..and even still being a 2 cassette album the tapes were bad for tightening up because of their length 😏
Yeah they improvised live so much that Page said Bonham and him had a mental link and John always knew what Jimmy was going to play which is why they couldn't carry on after John passed.
They made the first album after meeting together as group three weeks earlier. Three weeks and the recorded this epic,epic, epic composition. Good lawrd.
You have no idea how similar your initial reaction(s) to Zeppelin are compared to us when we were kids in 6th/7th grade (some even younger) when we heard Zeppelin for either the 1st time or hearing any number of their legendary tunes for the 1st time. All I can say is you're on the right path, or the same path as us young Zeppelin freaks. PEACE.
YES exactly! I was 7-8 when i 1st started listening to them & man they grabbed me by my Soul & NEVER let GO!!! & They always put in a Trance which feels like an out of body experience & i was course NOT on any substances (at that time) so yea just BEST band EVER!!! & i have been in MadLuv with My Jimmy Page Magical Musical Genius Wizard Babe ever since then as well Sigh just Pure Magic Pure Glorious Gift they ARE!!!
Best part is at 9:05 where you said "John Bonham is a God" and I'm thinking in 30 more seconds get ready for the knock-out blow. The best way to describe that performance is, relentless.
Bill Ward told a story about being a teenager and helping John Bonham set up his drums in a small club. Bonzo sent him out to the middle of the club and started hammering the bass drum. He yells how's that? Ward replies I hear it. Bonham yells back I know you can hear it, I want you to feel it in your stomach!
When they assembled in August of ‘68, it was Devine Intervention - personified. Many of their contemporaries LOATHED them after they formed. Why, you may ask? Well…they invented the very thing all the other bands were looking for: the next new thing. Jeff Beck actually shed tears when Jim played a promotional version of You Shook Me for him. The one thing Jeff didn’t have on his version of the very same song was JOHN BONHAM…. hence Jeff’s tears.
Man, I grew up with this music having first heard this album when it was released and I was 8 years old and I've been a Led Head ever since. That's one of the few benefits of having older siblings! I took it for granted. Watching young folk like you react to it gives me a new, fresh sense of appreciation for the beauty and majesty of this fantastic music. In regards to song credits and attribution... Once upon a time songs were readily shared and passed around. Think of the bards of earlier times or singing cowboys around a fire. Another would learn a song and take it and perform it. It wasn't until technology and real money was involved that anybody gave much of a damn about credit. Early rock... Elvis, Led Zep, many others, were on the cusp of this change in attitude about credit. I've not heard the original of this song, but I have heard some of the original blues songs Zeppelin reworked. The songs were significantly modified. So much so that other than the most basic portion there are few similarities. This too is in part due to technology. Howlin Wolf didn't have a bassist or a drummer or an electric guitar or keyboard, nor the recording equipment available to Page et al.
When the bowed guitar section ends and the entire band comes back in for that "rave up" it gets me every time. The live versions of that part are almost always mind blowing too.
I had a volkswagon van was living in calif when the first Album came out we were on a road trip had the 4 track tape and played it over and over was just incredible
Bonham also had a jazz feel on the drums that was incorporated into many Zeppelin tunes/riffs, it wasn't noticed mostly bc Zep's hardest songs were their most popular and you need a good ear for rhythm/drums to discern the difference.
You have the absolute best reactions I've seen! You understand the music, you appreciate it so much, I love your explanations and interpretations of music! It's so cool to see younger people appreciate the music from when I was young. Thank you so much! Keep it up!
Hun I did mention the live...at Danmark Radio, 1969. They were so young. Robert only 20/21 and sounded like this!!! Once you do this live, you'll get a surprise as to how Jimmy makes those "eery" sounds with the guitar! Absolutely incredible and it's one of my favourites of all time! So glad you loved it
Thank you ; i am 65 yrs old and saw them live in Vancouver Canada 1975 then Pink Floyd 2 months later ; what a time and so refreshing to watch your reaction ❤
Ward and Bonham were childhood friends, I believe. Sabbath was heavily influenced by Zeppelin. This was in 68 about a year or so before Sabbath’s debut. Definitely check out the live version where Page whips out a violin bow on the guitar. Just be sure to block off a good chunk of time because it’s like a whole album worth of music in one song.
I saw a video (maybe on Kars guitar YT channel) that talked about Bonham loved to sit in on Wards kit and play with Ozzy, Tony & Geezer and play Supernaut. It was Bonhams favorite Sabbath song. But one time he hit the drums so hard he jacked up Wards kit and so Bill wouldn’t allow John to play on them anymore in the future. Iommi, Butler, Bonham, Ward and Plant were all friends. I guess Ozzy and Page didn’t join in the inner mingling as often.
Great reaction, but you really ought to try headphones, your missing alot. Sounds way better. You have Jimmy Page in one ear and John Bonham in the other. Amazing!
LZ never made a bad song. If you would ask for my favourite one, I'' ll tell you there are a lot. But I wanna tell you, how it was in the 70 th for us young folk. We had no Tv shows or concerts ( I think they were only 1 or 2 times in germany). So we bought the LPs and listened hours and hours. LZ wasn't often played on the radio, bc. their songs were too long. Can you imagine what it means now for us oldies to watch them on yt, their concerts, interviews, all what was recorded during those days. I'm so thankful for that. And I like how you enjoy it too.!!
Don’t wanna make you jelly or anything (but I’m fkg elderly now so that’s the trade-off)😘 I saw them live in ‘73 at Tampa stadium with about 60,000 fans they played everything they’d put out til that point - of course they jammed the fk out of everything😆 We LOVED it but honestly at 18 I think I was too young to fully appreciate what insane MUSICIANS they were. -Btw have you seen/heard Plant LATELY?! I randomly caught a live performance video about 5 years ago and it STILL blew my mind. Unbelievable lifelong killer talent.
No one could unleash the full power of rock and roll quite the way Led Zeppelin did and i knew it way back in the day when i was a kid back in the late 1970s. You would go to a party and a Zeppelin song would come on and it would get real quiet everyone stopped talking and listened. You just knew they were special.
I believe that Jimi Page used a violin bow on this song and some others. He also uses an oscillator at some point as well. On Moby Dick John Bonham uses his bare hands on drums and Jimi and Robert do this call and response thing with Jimi’s guitar and Roberts voice. They were very innovative. All or most of the above can be seen on The Song Remains The Same as mentioned earlier. You will love it!
For over 50 yrs.Ive been getting the Led out all I can say is THEY MESMERIZE ME,with every song the deeper you go into the rabbit hole the more enchanted you get😮
Love Zep too, I'm a Zep fanatic! But, my friend, there's a lot of good modern music to listen to out there. Check out Chrissy Costanza, One Republic, Green Day, Logic, K.H.A.N., Russ, etc,. (UA-cam search the vid of Chrissy Costanza doing a version with One Republic of their, "Counting Stars".) Trust me.
If you wanna get blown away this is a small taste u should see it live from song remains the same live 1973 at Madison square garden live n new york dazed n confused live it's 28 minutes long he uses a chello bow on his guitar on stage good luck 🤞
There is a live version but studio versions of most songs are best at times in order to get the true feel of it and then check out the live versions later, but some songs are born on the stage also. ..The film '''The Song Remains The Same Madison Square Garden 1973 ''' is full of many good ones ..Definably a go to for live Zep and Dazed&Confused is on that one
2'23" .... I am SO glad you chose to do the studio version first and the reasons why I feel that way you explained perfectly in your comment. That's great, man.
You are inspiration , I'm so glad you embrace artistry of classics. I saw them 6 times in the 70's and it was a nice ride. So happy you as a you man appreciate it with an open mind
You mean war pigs remind you of dazed and confused! Zeppelin was before Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath was inspired by Led Zeppelin! And when you said this is mayhem that part of the song Jimmy Page gave birth to metal! Shredding guitar flying bass line! and frantic animal drumming!!! And Jimmy was going nuts can't forget the wizard! Jimmy was using a violin bow on his guitar to get that dark eerie sound!
The word plane kinda noise in the middle is Jimmy page playing electric guitar with. Cello bow, yes really!!!. His live bow solos are the stuff of legend, the best live version of this is an epic 29 minute version from msg 73, it recently got taken off UA-cam though
First I must say I absolutely love your energy and never change!! I wanted to only add that, especially for some artists and genres/decades of music play with panning and audio fade from left to right or right to left, and can make the songs really hit different on a solid pair of headphones (not ear buds!). Often if Led Zeppelin it can add pretty cool in-song effects during a riff, but I've also felt some songs where the instruments are rather 'positional' in their sound capture, so like guitar sounds like its really coming from the right (still coming from the left but definitely louder on the right a bit), and can make it feel like you are 'in the room' with them for some of the album recordings. They were master sound engineers so I'm sure its intentional at most, or if accidental they noticed it and liked it on the listen-back and kept it cause it is a solid sound! Side note on Bonham, and Zeppelin as a whole, they are pretty esoteric and occult related to an extent.. a lot of what really sets Bonham (and also Ward, points for noticing!) apart is his use of triplet and double base hits in there with it sometimes. If you read into any of that kind of history and culture, 3/6/9, but especially 3s come up quite often. Also musically speaking 2/4/6, 2s are more for marching kinda left foot right foot rhythms. 3/6/9, the odd number melody driven beats lead to the feeling of motion and dancing, or moving other limbs/body parts besides legs/feet lol.
I walked down the Road where Jimmy Page used to live today, just up the road from me. Funny fact one of my distant ex boyfriends mum, used to date Jimmy in the 60s. If things had worked out differently, for both myself and her, I could've been Jimmys daughter in law!! 🤣
Absolutely loved your reaction. Thanks for ‘pulling the LED out’ (as DJ’s used to say back in the day. Subscribed! So much fun seeing your generation hear these tunes for the first time. It really is timeless music and watching this warps me right back to how I felt when I first heard these tunes! Exactly how I felt and still feel to this very day. And YES! - I agree. They were Rock GODS - a more than 10 year super hiatus, primarily in the 70’s). To this day it’s a miracle to me that these four crossed paths as Jimmy searched for a née group and came together, each so superb on what they do and formed the all mighty power house Led Zep. The greatest rock band in history. You have to listen to the concert version live at Madison Square Gardens, NY. Also THE RAIN SOMG / THE. SONG REMAINS THE SAME … meant to be heard back to back at the same concert MSG in 1973. It is a historical ROCK JOURNEY and you feel like your warped there. Looking forward to watching further reactions. ✌🏼❤️
Check out the Concert and last time they got together so many years after they broke up and they had Jason Bonham play the drums for this event. Yes Jason is Bonham’s son. Jason, plays just like his father. The concert is called Celebration Day it took place in 2007 at the O2 arena. The entire concert is on UA-cam or you can purchase the DVD. I have watched it over 100 times cause I have the DVD and I never got tired of watching it. It is a stellar performance by the 3 remain Led Zep members and John’s son. Even Jason earned from me the title goat for this performance.
@@peanutbutter35 we will never have or see another band like Led Zeppelin. Thank God for DVD and recordings. You should check out the podcast called digging deep. I believe there are five seasons and it’s on Spotify and they are interviews with Robert Plant. I love love love that podcast.
You're right, it is not arguable.... so much fun to see you get into this. Zepplin did "Concept Albums" a thing back in the day, a concept, all tracks telling a story. It has depth. Dazed and Confuzed gives expression to the mood of the day, very cathartic. Jimmy Page playing that guitar and Jon of course, you listen to it stoned enough, it stays stuck in your head and you can recall it. This is why a lot of people in my age range were not impressed with some more modern music. We were spoiled. Then add the multiple instramental bands we had at the time like Emerson, Lake and Palmer or the Moody Blues. When they got so deep into their instruments, they channeled divine energy. YES and Jethro Tul more great music to check out. They were like open jam sessions.
I took a motorcycle ride to visit John Bonham's grave, on the weekend 7 hour round trip. Very humbling the amount of symbols, drumsticks and the messages left in the visitors books Shows he may have left us far to early, but he will never be forgotten ❤
The drum and bass on that song is some of the tightest groove I’ve ever heard. JPJ and Bonham were on another level. Probably my favorite song off that album, and that album is excellent all the way through
They improvised there renditions of the songs live. I’ve heard Over the Hills and Far Away, where the guitar solo was longer than the entire version of the studio version.
Now that's reaction ! You have a good ear for music, the part that you said reminds you of War Pigs is a 16th note triplet sequence just like the Dazed section. As others have pointed out, Jimmy plays the guitar with a violin bow in a number of different places in the song. When they performed this live, it was the epic centerpiece of the show.
Zeppelin is my favorite band to listen to when doing art work, they take my creative mind to a place no other music can. They are right next to Queen as my vote for G.O.A.T.
Bonham is a god. This recording IS mayhem- awesome comment. The freaking TEXTURE of the production is impeccable. Year of my grad from high schol, lol. U know now where my mind was formed lolol..
FACTS: Robert Plant was only 20 years old when he recorded this! John Bonham worked as a bricklayer, so had strong arms and hands. Jimmy Page was a sought-out session musician as well as lead guitarist of The Yardbirds in the mid-60s (that band also had Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton as lead guitarists, but not all at the same time). Some of he mysterious guitar sounds on this track were produced by Page playing his Fender Telecaster with a cello bow!
Bonham and Ward are lived within a few miles of each other growing up. The talent that was in and around Birmingham England at that time was absolutely unbelievable
Something really cool... John Bonhams son Jason was raised with the guys after John passed. He too is a drummer and is the only drummer that has played with the band. They have brought Jason into the band and he is amazing, like his Dad. He is a really decent guy. With nothing but love and respect for the remaining band members. As well as his father. Watch the Kennedy Center Honors in tribute of Led Zeplin. Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart, perform Stairway to Heaven so beautifully. Jason Bonham drums. Little side note, check out the hat he wears in tribute of his father, and just wait for the ending. I cried!! I have been a fan of Led Zeplin for over 50 years. The biggest and best rock band... ever!!
It's something else to see how the music hits you, you just let it! LOVE IT. Wasn't this channel 4 dude's or so sitting on couches doing reactions? So you're the only one left? I was subbed to you guys with my old channel. Happy to sub again with my new channel. LOVE your reactions. Reminds me of myself and how I react to GOOD music. It's a magical experience when it comes in the right way. AND seeing it in someone else is super entertaining as well. 🌄Have a blessed day!
He’s playing that guitar with a violin bow! Genius!
CELLO bow
Led zeppelin is a feeling you get when you hear them! Thats what makes them rock gods!
This is a drum master class… it sounds like bonzo has like 100 drums in his kit. “This is mayhem!” Incredible Rx ❤
When I was young I told my dad I wanted to be a drummer, he put on the Zeppelin 1 album and left me alone. I've been drumming for 30 years now. Bonzo is just different.

Page with a violin bow on an electric guitar is how he gets that sound.
On their first album this amazing track follows You Shook Me. Led Zeppelin take you to a place you can only imagine in your wildest rock dreams. I love your appreciation of my most favourite music ever.
Listen to the drums and bass playing off each other during the slow part! Awesomeness
Just saying -- this Led Zeppelin first album came out a year before the first Black Sabbath album.
So, Bill Ward took a page out of the John Bonham/Led Zeppelin book for Black Sabbath's first album.

Solid advice. Also No Quarter T Knebworth. (Hi everybody! 🎶✌🏼)
@@fukkar4545 lol Remember 8tracks? I left a whole crapload of 8tracks in my xes trunk and they more or less melted ha ha!
And a bunch of hits of acid. I think that's how it was meant to be listened too.

Your take on led zeppelin is the one I had 30 years ago when I first heard them
Hands Down.. Led Zeppelin Is The Golden Rock God's!! Will Never be another band that can even come close!
Pink Floyd

If you ever have the time, the 28 minute live version of this from 1973 contains the greatest guitar solo ever recorded!
Definitely...playing lead guitar with a violin bow..
Agreed
Couldn't agree with you more. I've felt that way since first seeing it 36 yrs ago and I haven't come across anything like it since.
Which one...there are between 4 and 6 depending on if you split one of the middle ones up or not.
Agreed!
"They naturally FUSED together..." and created a Nuclear EXPLOSION !💥

This is the perfect reaction to this song. RIP John Bonham. John is my DAWG dog!
Headphones recommended! Jimmy using a cello bow on his guitar to make those eerie sounds.
I had a volkswagon van was living in calif when the first Album came out we were on a road trip had the 4 track tape and played it over and over was just incredible
RIP John Henry Bonham, He didn't just play the drums, He assaulted us with the drums, in the best possible way.
I remember someone said he beat the drums like they owed him money.
Thank you Michael so spot on
If Bigfoot could play drums he would sound like John Bonham
Bonzo beat the drums like they said something bad about his mother. ❤🎉
Bonham also had a jazz feel on the drums that was incorporated into many Zeppelin tunes/riffs, it wasn't noticed mostly bc Zep's hardest songs were their most popular and you need a good ear for rhythm/drums to discern the difference.
Damn, if you could move to headphone’s, your experience would be 10 fold.
I was at a Queen concert when the band was told of his death. Freddie cried and dedicated the concert to john

Tea for one is a great blues song by LED Zeppelin ❤
You are one person that I wished you could have seen them, by the way you talk about them. I've seen them 5 times and every one of them was special.
Its like four musicians sharing the same mind.
I watch a lot of reaction videos from different folks. You have great insight and instincts about these songs. ✌️🎶
Happy to be the 1k on the likes 🙂
John Bonham is phenomenal. I never heard a drummer like him. Raw. Wild. Animal!
Ward and Bonham were childhood friends, I believe. Sabbath was heavily influenced by Zeppelin. This was in 68 about a year or so before Sabbath’s debut.

Iommi, Butler, Bonham, Ward and Plant were all friends. I guess Ozzy and Page didn’t join in the inner mingling as often.
Jack Holmes could not bring that song to life like Led Zeppelin did so without Led Zeppelin no one would have even heard of the song
They revived and elevated a few blues classics
I'm one of their biggest fans and defenders. 55 years later. And not a one. Matches the Zeppelin!
Great reaction, but you really ought to try headphones, your missing alot. Sounds way better. You have Jimmy Page in one ear and John Bonham in the other. Amazing!
First time watching you. Your awesome 😊
John keeping time with lead guitar and them triple beats
The GOATS OF ALL TIME! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Don’t wanna make you jelly or anything (but I’m fkg elderly now so that’s the trade-off)😘
I saw them live in ‘73 at Tampa stadium with about 60,000 fans they played everything they’d put out til that point - of course they jammed the fk out of everything😆
We LOVED it but honestly at 18 I think I was too young to fully appreciate what insane MUSICIANS they were.
-Btw have you seen/heard Plant LATELY?!
I randomly caught a live performance video about 5 years ago and it STILL blew my mind.
Unbelievable lifelong killer talent.
No one could unleash the full power of rock and roll quite the way Led Zeppelin did and i knew it way back in the day when i was a kid back in the late 1970s.

He took, "Beating to My Own Drum" to a Cosmic Epic Level. There are no words. Gramps62
I believe that Jimi Page used a violin bow on this song and some others. He also uses an oscillator at some point as well. On Moby Dick John Bonham uses his bare hands on drums and Jimi and Robert do this call and response thing with Jimi’s guitar and Roberts voice. They were very innovative. All or most of the above can be seen on The Song Remains The Same as mentioned earlier. You will love it!
It was a cello bow.
Zeppelin is great live or studio. It’s good to do both. Check out When the Levee Breaks or In My Time of Dying by them.
Add Ramble On and Going to California.
You are so right…they are the GOAT…bar none…
I love your reactions. You dig into why you like what you're hearing. Next Led Zep song needs to be No Quarter. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Daisy, Will do!
@@MMBxMOB if you do it studio version then live if you want.
For over 50 yrs.Ive been getting the Led out all I can say is THEY MESMERIZE ME,with every song the deeper you go into the rabbit hole the more enchanted you get😮
Love Zep too, I'm a Zep fanatic! But, my friend, there's a lot of good modern music to listen to out there. Check out Chrissy Costanza, One Republic, Green Day, Logic, K.H.A.N., Russ, etc,. (UA-cam search the vid of Chrissy Costanza doing a version with One Republic of their, "Counting Stars".) Trust me.
If you wanna get blown away this is a small taste u should see it live from song remains the same live 1973 at Madison square garden live n new york dazed n confused live it's 28 minutes long he uses a chello bow on his guitar on stage good luck 🤞
Bonzo - he was the drum machine that's better than the drum machine! 😎
There is a live version but studio versions of most songs are best at times in order to get the true feel of it and then check out the live versions later, but some songs are born on the stage also. ..The film '''The Song Remains The Same Madison Square Garden 1973 ''' is full of many good ones ..Definably a go to for live Zep and Dazed&Confused is on that one
Bonham was so damn young when they recorded that first album, too. Sheer talent....
Goosebumps
2'23" .... I am SO glad you chose to do the studio version first and the reasons why I feel that way you explained perfectly in your comment. That's great, man.
They are fabulous!! This live 28 mi yes in 1973 at MSG is unbelievable!!
So glad I found your channel. Yes…The Greatest Rock Band Ever!
I can’t wait to binge all your videos.
Bonzo beat the drums like they said something bad about his mother. ❤🎉
Nah he beat those drums like they owed him money
"I just feeling like running" 🤣🤣🤣
You are inspiration , I'm so glad you embrace artistry of classics. I saw them 6 times in the 70's and it was a nice ride. So happy you as a you man appreciate it with an open mind
The eerie sound is a bow from a violin on the electric guitar strings
Apparently it's a cello bow
Jimmy uses a Bow. With his guitar
. He is so talented.
There's a concert movie called the song remains the same, but they also have a song with that name.
You mean war pigs remind you of dazed and confused! Zeppelin was before Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath was inspired by Led Zeppelin! And when you said this is mayhem that part of the song Jimmy Page gave birth to metal! Shredding guitar flying bass line! and frantic animal drumming!!! And Jimmy was going nuts can't forget the wizard! Jimmy was using a violin bow on his guitar to get that dark eerie sound!
Spot on.
The word plane kinda noise in the middle is Jimmy page playing electric guitar with. Cello bow, yes really!!!. His live bow solos are the stuff of legend, the best live version of this is an epic 29 minute version from msg 73, it recently got taken off UA-cam though
Oh I didn't want him to know until he watched the live
My friend- you need earbuds or headphones to really appreciate the sound! Great reaction !
First I must say I absolutely love your energy and never change!! I wanted to only add that, especially for some artists and genres/decades of music play with panning and audio fade from left to right or right to left, and can make the songs really hit different on a solid pair of headphones (not ear buds!). Often if Led Zeppelin it can add pretty cool in-song effects during a riff, but I've also felt some songs where the instruments are rather 'positional' in their sound capture, so like guitar sounds like its really coming from the right (still coming from the left but definitely louder on the right a bit), and can make it feel like you are 'in the room' with them for some of the album recordings. They were master sound engineers so I'm sure its intentional at most, or if accidental they noticed it and liked it on the listen-back and kept it cause it is a solid sound!
Side note on Bonham, and Zeppelin as a whole, they are pretty esoteric and occult related to an extent.. a lot of what really sets Bonham (and also Ward, points for noticing!) apart is his use of triplet and double base hits in there with it sometimes. If you read into any of that kind of history and culture, 3/6/9, but especially 3s come up quite often. Also musically speaking 2/4/6, 2s are more for marching kinda left foot right foot rhythms. 3/6/9, the odd number melody driven beats lead to the feeling of motion and dancing, or moving other limbs/body parts besides legs/feet lol.
I walked down the Road where Jimmy Page used to live today, just up the road from me. Funny fact one of my distant ex boyfriends mum, used to date Jimmy in the 60s. If things had worked out differently, for both myself and her, I could've been Jimmys daughter in law!! 🤣
Wow that's so cool!
How much for a bag of dirt that Jimmy walked on? ;)
Absolutely loved your reaction. Thanks for ‘pulling the LED out’ (as DJ’s used to say back in the day. Subscribed!
So much fun seeing your generation hear these tunes for the first time. It really is timeless music and watching this warps me right back to how I felt when I first heard these tunes! Exactly how I felt and still feel to this very day. And YES! - I agree. They were Rock GODS - a more than 10 year super hiatus, primarily in the 70’s). To this day it’s a miracle to me that these four crossed paths as Jimmy searched for a née group and came together, each so superb on what they do and formed the all mighty power house Led Zep. The greatest rock band in history.
You have to listen to the concert version live at Madison Square Gardens, NY. Also THE RAIN SOMG / THE. SONG REMAINS THE SAME … meant to be heard back to back at the same concert MSG in 1973. It is a historical ROCK JOURNEY and you feel like your warped there. Looking forward to watching further reactions. ✌🏼❤️
@@cocobeachvillage4310 absolutely, totally agree 💯
Just subscribed, great reaction to Zeppelin, highly recommend When the Levee Breaks, Bonham's drumming in that song was used alot in sampling.
Welcome to the mob Robert. Will check that out!
Power and mysterious song .
Good review...
"So that's getting added to the playlist." I LOVE IT
Check out the Concert and last time they got together so many years after they broke up and they had Jason Bonham play the drums for this event. Yes Jason is Bonham’s son. Jason, plays just like his father. The concert is called Celebration Day it took place in 2007 at the O2 arena. The entire concert is on UA-cam or you can purchase the DVD. I have watched it over 100 times cause I have the DVD and I never got tired of watching it. It is a stellar performance by the 3 remain Led Zep members and John’s son. Even Jason earned from me the title goat for this performance.
It is a great concert, watched it the other day!
@@peanutbutter35 we will never have or see another band like Led Zeppelin. Thank God for DVD and recordings. You should check out the podcast called digging deep. I believe there are five seasons and it’s on Spotify and they are interviews with Robert Plant. I love love love that podcast.
You're right, it is not arguable.... so much fun to see you get into this. Zepplin did "Concept Albums" a thing back in the day, a concept, all tracks telling a story. It has depth. Dazed and Confuzed gives expression to the mood of the day, very cathartic. Jimmy Page playing that guitar and Jon of course, you listen to it stoned enough, it stays stuck in your head and you can recall it. This is why a lot of people in my age range were not impressed with some more modern music. We were spoiled. Then add the multiple instramental bands we had at the time like Emerson, Lake and Palmer or the Moody Blues. When they got so deep into their instruments, they channeled divine energy. YES and Jethro Tul more great music to check out. They were like open jam sessions.
I took a motorcycle ride to visit John Bonham's grave, on the weekend 7 hour round trip. Very humbling the amount of symbols, drumsticks and the messages left in the visitors books Shows he may have left us far to early, but he will never be forgotten ❤
Ahhh, you started discovering great music 1 month ago. Well, get ready! There is so much to discover! Here for it!
The Lemon Song
The drum and bass on that song is some of the tightest groove I’ve ever heard. JPJ and Bonham were on another level. Probably my favorite song off that album, and that album is excellent all the way through
They improvised there renditions of the songs live. I’ve heard Over the Hills and Far Away, where the guitar solo was longer than the entire version of the studio version.
The live version at MSG /1973 is stunning
Now that's reaction ! You have a good ear for music, the part that you said reminds you of War Pigs is a 16th note triplet sequence just like the Dazed section. As others have pointed out, Jimmy plays the guitar with a violin bow in a number of different places in the song. When they performed this live, it was the epic centerpiece of the show.
Cello bow
Led Zep best band ever. I'd suggest listening with headphones; their music is a bonafide sonic experience!
Zeppelin is my favorite band to listen to when doing art work, they take my creative mind to a place no other music can. They are right next to Queen as my vote for G.O.A.T.
Bonham is a god. This recording IS mayhem- awesome comment. The freaking TEXTURE of the production is impeccable. Year of my grad from high schol, lol. U know now where my mind was formed lolol..
This is perhaps my favourite song of the mighty Led Zep. This track slays: there is no other word for it
Either one live will blow your mind they really had a lot of room to stretch it to go on jimmy is using a 🎻 bow and all my God
FACTS: Robert Plant was only 20 years old when he recorded this! John Bonham worked as a bricklayer, so had strong arms and hands. Jimmy Page was a sought-out session musician as well as lead guitarist of The Yardbirds in the mid-60s (that band also had Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton as lead guitarists, but not all at the same time). Some of he mysterious guitar sounds on this track were produced by Page playing his Fender Telecaster with a cello bow!
Talk about feeling the music!
Bonham and Ward are lived within a few miles of each other growing up. The talent that was in and around Birmingham England at that time was absolutely unbelievable
Great great reaction and yes I hear the War Pigs similarity yup! Off to another one of your reactions just don’t know which one next :)
Middle section in “Whole Lotta Love” does take you on a journey on the drums man.
Those “crazy airplane sounds” was Jimi Paige with a violin bow on the guitar. 🎸
Something really cool... John Bonhams son Jason was raised with the guys after John passed. He too is a drummer and is the only drummer that has played with the band. They have brought Jason into the band and he is amazing, like his Dad. He is a really decent guy. With nothing but love and respect for the remaining band members. As well as his father. Watch the Kennedy Center Honors in tribute of Led Zeplin. Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart, perform Stairway to Heaven so beautifully. Jason Bonham drums. Little side note, check out the hat he wears in tribute of his father, and just wait for the ending. I cried!! I have been a fan of Led Zeplin for over 50 years. The biggest and best rock band... ever!!
It's something else to see how the music hits you, you just let it! LOVE IT.
Wasn't this channel 4 dude's or so sitting on couches doing reactions? So you're the only one left? I was subbed to you guys with my old channel. Happy to sub again with my new channel. LOVE your reactions. Reminds me of myself and how I react to GOOD music. It's a magical experience when it comes in the right way. AND seeing it in someone else is super entertaining as well. 🌄Have a blessed day!
