@@doubler8684 Yep. A number of things made Zeppelin unique vs. most every other band. First, with the possible exception of Queen, there wasn't a more tight-nit band than Zeppelin was, IMO. Second, even though the band's first album dropped on 1968, nothing about Zeppelin's debut album sounded like it was from the 60s. That's when one realizes that ALL of Zeppelin's music was/is timeless, and sounds great in any era.
That's Sonny Boy Williamson II. Funny how Zeppelin are often accused of stealing from old blues songs. Nevermind that is pretty much the history of blues songs. And then we have the case of Mr. Sonny Boy Williamson II, who took the name of another blues artist. The designations SBW I and SBW II were later given to distinguish them.
The greatest thing about Led Zeppelin is that it's hard to find a song that you don't like. Also, what a way to finish an album. The most extreme transition in rock and one of the best rock riffs of all time.
@@muninraven3327 Ya, I'm with you muninraven regarding his 2nd sentence. But his 1st sentence is far from true. Zep's my favorite band of all-time, and they have plenty of songs I don't like. I'm sure there are a lot more for more casual fans of the band.
I'll give you a bad Zeppelin song: "Hats off to (Roy) Harper". Sonically it sounds like a cat being tortured, and has racist lyrics to boot. If they had left that off of Zep III in favor of "Hey Hey What Can I Do" (which was a B-side from that album), it would have been an absolutely perfect album. As it is, I stop the album before that song comes on.
Led Zeppelin is my my all time favorite band but I hate “Hot Dog.” Also I’ve never liked Stairway but I always rooted for it when they had the Memorial Day 500 or whatever it was called on the radio.
@@Shootingstarcomics I agree with "Hot Dog", also "The Crunge" , "Dyer Maker " always tortured me, and i can't stand half of "presence" most of " In Through the Out Door" and ALL of "Coda".........and they're still in my top 5 favorite bands!
Lex possibly experiences synesthesia much more than most people. When she says the guitar sounded "citrusy" Brad goes along with it awkwardly, correcting her with "zesty", perhaps thinking she's weirdly poetic. But it could be that when Lex hears various sounds, she naturally connects them with particular flavors, smells or colors. Often people who experience synesthesia aren't really aware of this quirk as they think everyone experiences senses the same way, so they take it for granted.
When you listen to Zeppelin you have to listen every song 4 times and focus on each instrument and what they are doin because all at once is sensation overload.
Listening to them for fifty years and this song and Since I’ve Been Loving You are probably my favorites. Robert as a Mississippi delta blues frontman.
Basically this is Led Zeppelin saying this is the blues... and this is where we are taking the blues. Rock n roll's most wildly transitional band, there is blues before Zeppelin and rock after Zeppelin.
@@chrisfischer1755 Cream certainly before Zeppelin... whenever I hear "Spoonful" by Cream I feel that must have sparked something in Jimmy Page. Cream electrified the blues but Led Zeppelin ran the blues through a kaleidoscope.
@@chrisfischer1755 Cream,Hendrix and others only covered songs in a traditional way(paying respect to the original song by staying in the same vein) When it comes to Zeppelin, they didn't bother crediting and did whatever they want with blues. Maybe call it disrespect or as Robert said "mutilating the blues.."
Agree with others, you won't find a bad song when doing Led Zeppelin reactions, they don't exist! Try another blues classic, Tea For One when you can, more magic from the best band you will ever hear. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
@bradandlex108. sorry all I have is a laptop as I'm new to technology. Please go onto the next. I appriciate that I was choosen, doesn't happen to me lots. I love your channel and will keep coming back. Rock on Brad & Lex
First Zeppelin album I ever owned. 1972. I was entranced.. still am. (Mind you, I hadn't heard dazed and confused yet--THAT put me on my knees!) Woof! What a band!
I remember to this day when I first heard of the death of Bonham, and the band issuing the statement that they could not and would not go on without him: Led Zeppelin were to be no more. And yet they are immortal
Probably my favorite Zeppelin song, and SUPER fun to play on guitar. The first time I figured out the first lick, after the intro, it was like a new door was opened for me, as far as learning how to play the guitar.
Robert Plants brilliant harmonica playing sets this song on a very bluesy journey!! 🎶 Led Zeppelin is the best example of masters of their craft...never will there ever be another!!🎶💙
The intro/outro was basically a cover of Sonny Boy Williamson’s song “Bring It On Home”, and the rock part in the middle was their take on an old blues standard, using not only their own riffs, but their own lyrics.
Around 1958/9 the stream of rock music from the US dried up and British rock fans searched the music stores and discovered blues music. When they started to play their own rock it was a fusion of rock and blues and led to the music of the early 60s that eventually became the Brit invasion of 1964 into the US. Couldn't have a better illustration of that than this track. That opening is pure Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee.
In 1973, a portion of the song was used to link performances of "Celebration Day" and "Black Dog" and it was played at the reunion of surviving Led Zeppelin members staged at Jason Bonham's wedding reception in May 1990. Wikipedia. "Egg" on Harmonica. LOL
This will make for a great debate/convo as there's no wrong answer but the debut is their best IMO. They needed a hr and got a GRAND SLAM! Physical Graffiti is #2❗️❗️
Born in 1970 I’ll never forget going over my friends house in 6th grade and he said my dad gave him all his vinyl Zep albums to listen to….I knew Stairway to Heaven because it was always on the radio…but he dropped the needle on Zep I Good Times Bad Times we spent the next two days going through all the albums…been my favorite band since…
Hey guys that's one of the most awesome songs of all time. I love the word satiated also another word is sated. That's what I am every time I watch your reaction video..... Totally satisfied thanks guys big ups and big love! 💕
That double hit on the snare drum at the transition is what completely sells this song to me. I can't explain why but that's what it does. I love the slow blues at the beginning, but I can't wait for the transition with that whack from Bonham.
I have to say you’re reactions are always the most fun, and extraordinarily on point. This is one song you really ought to see them perform live, at Royal Albert Hall, 1970.
Cracking up once again. Brad, you engaged on the food front for once and you're like you know I actually think it's more lemon than lime but I agree with the Citrus part literally he was singing about that. And of course Lex is like okay okay. Then she goes I'm coming at you with chili con queso and fish tacos, watch out. Laugh. And what's funny is a favorite Led Zeppelin song of a lot of people is literally called, the lemon song.
You think it's just going to be some mild blues tune. Then Jimmy kicks it in and the real Led Zeppelin shows up. One of Mr. Page's best riffs, one of many. Bring it on home boys.
LZ was my first real musical PUNCH IN THE FACE I got when I was 14. Our music teacher allowed us some free time at the end of each course to bring some record we liked to have the class listen to it. And this time it was LED ZEPPELIN II
The trick to listening to this song is to isolate each instrument and appreciate the nuances and complexity. There is no greater example of rock at its peak.
Led Zeppelin II is a masterpiece
⬆️YES ⬆️
All the albums are!

It's the GOAT of 1969...
meh...
The magic created between Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham will never come again.
You're right!
Love Zep but I’ll put forward Roth, Van Halen, Anthony and Van Halen.
The intro and outro were deliberate homages to the Sonny Boy Williamson song, whereas the rest of the track was an original composition

Agreed.
I've thought that watching more than one of these reactions.
Synesthesia is also a figure of speech. For example, "loud colors" or "that movie stinks."
You may just be right!
Very interesting observation . A friend of mine has this “ condition “ and this is very typical
That harmonica!!!
Robert killed it!
@@Cosmo-Kramer 💯
This song is a great example of the influence American blues had on British rock.
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee 😀👌
Greatest band of all time .
How the heck does "citrus-y" fit so freaking perfectly to describe this bright guitar tone? I get it, Lex!
Complete with pulp, is what I hear!
Lex is an island onto herself. 🤣
Her describing Jimmy’s guitar after the bluesy intro as Citrusyyy was spot on. It was like an eargasm of a loud-lemon.
When you listen to Zeppelin you have to listen every song 4 times and focus on each instrument and what they are doin because all at once is sensation overload.
If you want a definition of rock n roll...here it is in its purest form. Blues, into rock and back again.
Full circle masterclass!
I’m crazy about this song!!!
Listening to them for fifty years and this song and Since I’ve Been Loving You are probably my favorites. Robert as a Mississippi delta blues frontman.

"Hats off to Roy Harper" is not good, just saying
Never made a bad song. Probably the only band that ever did that. In the light is another great song
Zesty like lemons. Rock On Brad & Lex

So creative, so much talent. Smells like John Paul Jones in here. LOVE IT AND THANKS GUYS
Lex is a masterpiece at her descriptions to the music. A one of a kind.
One of my all-time favorite Zeppelin songs.
I remember to this day when I first heard of the death of Bonham, and the band issuing the statement that they could not and would not go on without him: Led Zeppelin were to be no more. And yet they are immortal
Loved them in 1969 and still my favorite rockers of all time.
Robert Plant is well known for his commentary on lemons
I love your wifes reaction. She gets it. Led Zeppelin is definitely a vibe. Reminds me of when I first heard Zeppelin. I'm a Big Zeppelin fan
Led Zeppelin was masterful when it came to changing rhythm and riffs within a song . . .
My favorite song by them!!!
Early on, Bob Plant was a SPECTACULAR harmonica player.
Yes he is! I've been playing harp for 35 yrs and always loved Plants tone and style.
Probably my favorite Zeppelin song, and SUPER fun to play on guitar. The first time I figured out the first lick, after the intro, it was like a new door was opened for me, as far as learning how to play the guitar.
Robert Plants brilliant harmonica playing sets this song on a very bluesy journey!! 🎶 Led Zeppelin is the best example of masters of their craft...never will there ever be another!!🎶💙
One of my favorite their songs....certainly off that album! I just dig its structuring and dynamics!
please consider their songs Lemon Song and What Is and Should never be. Both have many transitions
I love how you get that they aren't as much of a rock band as much as a long haired blues band. ;)
Zoe is always a “smash” thumbs up!!!
The intro/outro was basically a cover of Sonny Boy Williamson’s song “Bring It On Home”, and the rock part in the middle was their take on an old blues standard, using not only their own riffs, but their own lyrics.
Definitely the first time I've heard Page's playing described as citrus-ey! Love it :) 😀
You know that's the first time for me too ever hearing someone describe it like that
Tangerine?
@@johnr.8275 Indeed :) 😀
I don’t think I love anything more than when you guys jam out to Zeppelin!
My favorite Led Zeppelin song. The only thing wrong with it is that it’s to short. You have to see them do it live
100% agree. The groove of this song just moves.

love how you two vibe off one another.. totally golden to see that in a couple
Good one! Nothing like blues and rock all mixed into one. Great pick and reaction guys - agree with Lex, zesty:)) Thanks for posting!🧡
Led Zeppelin is the Goat!!!!
In 1973, a portion of the song was used to link performances of "Celebration Day" and "Black Dog" and it was played at the reunion of surviving Led Zeppelin members staged at Jason Bonham's wedding reception in May 1990. Wikipedia.
"Egg" on Harmonica. LOL
Zeppelin was influenced by the Delta blues for sure!
*Of their 108 songs...you'll likely find you enjoy 104 or 105 of them.* ♥
it's like 3 songs in one the slow harmonica beinn ing then the freaking explaosion and i screammmmm ROCKKKKK and ROLLLL every time
Always thought their second album was their greatest and this is my favourite track
This will make for a great debate/convo as there's no wrong answer but the debut is their best IMO. They needed a hr and got a GRAND SLAM!
Physical Graffiti is #2❗️❗️
Nah, IV and Physical Graffiti are their peaks.
@@lyndoncmp5751 a gradual climb from greatness to untouchableness❗️
It’s flawless
You guys need to react to Led Zeppelin nobody's fault but mine
Citrus! I love it! Proper synaethesia. That's why we feel stuff a bit better than others :)
Excellent choice! I bought this record when new, you fine young couple rock on! You will not be disappointed !
I like it too Lex. Always love your Zeppelin reactions. Love your Nirvana shirt!

You two are adorable. Lex, you had the perfect face when the song kicked off after the harmonica intro. Like 😮

And the audio of this song from How the West Was Won is badass also!
god this is still one of their all time greatest songs. gets me every fucking time

Good pic, thank you and thumbs up. Have a nice day.
from Delta blues to blues rock and back again
This is such an underrated entry in the Zeppelin canon. Such a better riff than Kashmir.
I think Lex was hungry when you guys did this reaction. Great one though! Lots of fun always, watching you two.
Fantastic song! Live this was unbelievable!
I knew I would find you here x
Killer Riff. Absolutely killer and fun to play on guitar. Freaks people out every time I play it.
Originally a Sonny Boy Williamson song. Taken up a couple Rock N Roll notches by Zeppelin !
love lexie saying add twist of lime make it zesty one of best rock n roll bands ever
Always loved this song!! I've seen every video that yall made, I could watch yall react to anything ❤️
Yep! Like squeezing a little lemon on a freshly cooked fish. It’s kinda brilliant to feel the zest. Lex has magic.
Love it! What's not to love about the bluesy influence they had in the early days!
Zeppelin secret weapon, John Paul Jones!
I want to live in a world where there is a Zepp Song I dont like. Listening to Zepp since the early 80s. Cheers from the Mtns of NY.
You think it's just going to be some mild blues tune. Then Jimmy kicks it in and the real Led Zeppelin shows up. One of Mr. Page's best riffs, one of many. Bring it on home boys.
.....John Bonham's masterful drumming when that kicks in woooooooooowwhhhhh!!
This album doesnt have a bad song! Greatest rock band EVER! Bring it back home to me baby! Legends... !
this is one of my favorite “led zeppelin geek out” songs
Brad, I think if you stepped outside for a sec you'd see Lex going crazy right now, but she gotta hold it in😆❤️
LZ was my first real musical PUNCH IN THE FACE I got when I was 14.
Our music teacher allowed us some free time at the end of each course to bring some record we liked to have the class listen to it.

Great Reaction....personally never thought this as one of their better songs but the live versions(from Bootlegs) are phenomenal!!!
That's your boy Robert on a harmonica
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
"Citrusy". I've never heard that before, but I know exactly what you're talking about. Lex has quite a way with words describing music.
one of their best of the straight blues 'rip off' songs. lots of magic in this.
The trick to listening to this song is to isolate each instrument and appreciate the nuances and complexity. There is no greater example of rock at its peak.
Another great pick guys
Ahhh High School. Still love it!
Oh yeah, this was when the chat started mentioning "The Lemon Song" and "Tangerine"
🤘🤘 Lexism's are spot on. Citrusy Brad!
Might be there best album
You should listen to 'the bron- Y-aur stomp' from the Physical Graffiti album.
This one is awesome
Please do a reaction to the Zeppelin track BRON-Y-AUR STOMP. I'd love to see what Lex makes of it.
Since you’re on the citrus kick, you guys need to check out The Lemon Song from the same album.
Talk about Lemon 🍋 they actually do a song The Lemon Song!
