@@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.

That's when one realizes that ALL of Zeppelin's music was/is timeless, and sounds great in any era.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.."
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
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!
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!!🎶💙
@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
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.
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! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
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.
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.
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
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…
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.
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.
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❗️❗️
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
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! 💕
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.
Watch that train roll down the track 🚂 🔥🔥🔥 bring it on home 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞 bring it in home 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥵💋💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨👏👏👏 bring it home baby 🤗🤗🤗❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋👏🔥🔥🔥🔥💋💞💞💞🍋🔥✨✨✨
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.
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 greatest thing about Led Zeppelin is that it's hard to find a song that you don't like.

This song is a great example of the influence American blues had on British rock.
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee 😀👌
The intro and outro were deliberate homages to the Sonny Boy Williamson song, whereas the rest of the track was an original composition
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.

LEX is so incredible cute, it's outragious!
Greatest band of all time .

Her describing Jimmy’s guitar after the bluesy intro as Citrusyyy was spot on. It was like an eargasm of a loud-lemon.
That harmonica!!!
Robert killed it!
@@Cosmo-Kramer 💯
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. 🤣
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!

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
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.
I’m crazy about this song!!!

Led Zeppelin was masterful when it came to changing rhythm and riffs within a song . . .

Loved them in 1969 and still my favorite rockers of all time.
Robert Plant is well known for his commentary on lemons

"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
Lex is a masterpiece at her descriptions to the music. A one of a kind.
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
I love how you get that they aren't as much of a rock band as much as a long haired blues band. ;)
So creative, so much talent. Smells like John Paul Jones in here. LOVE IT AND THANKS GUYS
*Of their 108 songs...you'll likely find you enjoy 104 or 105 of them.* ♥

.....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... !
Zeppelin II is the sheeeeeeeeoot. Best of Zeppelin, one of the best of any band.
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.
Zeppelin was influenced by the Delta blues for sure!
This is such an underrated entry in the Zeppelin canon. Such a better riff than Kashmir.
from Delta blues to blues rock and back again
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.
Good pic, thank you and thumbs up. Have a nice day.
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.
god this is still one of their all time greatest songs. gets me every fucking time
Zoe is always a “smash” thumbs up!!!
I don’t think I love anything more than when you guys jam out to Zeppelin!
Fantastic song! Live this was unbelievable!
I knew I would find you here x
👏👏👏Great reaction guys! Lex's enthusiasm is infectious!!!🥰 Btw... that's Robert playing the harmonica on this track!!!👊❤
love how you two vibe off one another.. totally golden to see that in a couple
Robert Plant on harmonica .
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
Zeppelin secret weapon, John Paul Jones!
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 :) 😀
Oh yeah, this was when the chat started mentioning "The Lemon Song" and "Tangerine"
Excellent choice! I bought this record when new, you fine young couple rock on! You will not be disappointed !
Citrus! I love it! Proper synaethesia. That's why we feel stuff a bit better than others :)
LZ was my first real musical PUNCH IN THE FACE I got when I was 14.

That's your boy Robert on a harmonica
Originally a Sonny Boy Williamson song. Taken up a couple Rock N Roll notches by Zeppelin !
Yep! Like squeezing a little lemon on a freshly cooked fish. It’s kinda brilliant to feel the zest. Lex has magic.
love lexie saying add twist of lime make it zesty one of best rock n roll bands ever
Killer Riff. Absolutely killer and fun to play on guitar. Freaks people out every time I play it.

This is one of my fave Zep songs
You two are adorable. Lex, you had the perfect face when the song kicked off after the harmonica intro. Like 😮
This is the greatest greatest led Zeppelin track. The only possible is nobody's fault but mine.
I knew Lex would pop for this one!
"It's like a citrus!", Lex! True words!
thats what u get when you have four artists who are the greatest at what they do thats led zeppelin jump in and hang on
Ahhh High School. Still love it!
Yes, more Led Zep with a twist of lemon!
Please do a reaction to the Zeppelin track BRON-Y-AUR STOMP. I'd love to see what Lex makes of it.
Lex's perspective unique. Never did I think someone would say the riff in bring it on home was citrusy.
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
Awesome.
"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.
You guys need to react to Led Zeppelin nobody's fault but mine
"put a little lime on it."
Lex is the best.
