John Bonham is a master of the percussive persuasion without any doubts about it ever. He could be smooth and slow with that easiness then get all technical without a hitch and all the sudden masterfully thunderish. Everything a drummer should be and more. They're all time greats.
It's LED ZEPPELIN!!!! The greatest rock band to ever grace this earth, in my opinion..... So much great music you still need to give a listen to. Such a huge "rabbit" hole to dive into with Zeppelin... Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Love all your insights on your reactions... Always keep that "rock and roll" smile on your face!!!!!! Keep rocking!!!!! Music will always bring people together....
Among rock and metal music, these guys are the closest you get to gods. There are a few others on their level-Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, along with earlier pioneers like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and obviously The Beatles and The Rolling Stones-but in terms of overall presentation, sheer “epicness” mixed with raw heaviness and mixture of light and dark dynamics, acoustic and electric, etc., these four gentlemen are rightly seen as the ultimate legends by so many. Great reaction.
The last 5 on there , heavy metal ? Absolutely f/all to do with heavy metal. Wise up man, I'm trying really hard not to swear.......Must do better, J5 face.
That drummer .. To me, He set the bar HIGH, he to me, was the First "power drummer" , Groove, Melody, Feel, Style even his sound was ahead of its time.
Bonham was such a phenomenal drummer that Rick Rubin and the Beastie Boys both sampled him many times and those drum samples made their tracks instantly heavy and recognizable.
Oh man that John Bonham groove and feel is just incredibly good. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest ever, he was and still is a huge inspiration for so many drummers. My favorite drummer with Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy and Gavin Harrison.
Zeppelin was the greatest rock-n-roll band that ever was or ever will be. John Bonham was, IMHO, the greatest drummer to ever live. John Paul Jones was the unsung hero of the band, and one of the greatest and most underrated rock-n-roll musicians ever. Jonesy played everything on Zeppelin albums that wasn't vocals, drums, or guitars. He also played all those, but with Zeppelin he was bassist, piano and keyboards, synthesizers, strings, horns et al. He also co-wrote, co-arranged, and and co-produced most of the songs along with Jimmy Page. When I drove a taxi in Austin back in the '90s, one of my regular passengers was Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers. One night Paul called me up and asked me to swing by his place to drive a friend down to the Four Seasons. "It's the bass player for Led Zeppelin," he says. Jonesy was producing their new album, "Independent Worm Saloon." Not only did I get to be his driver while he was in town, but I was once privileged to drink 25 yo Scotch with him at Emo's, where he hung out while here.
This is Knebworth, August 1979, a homecoming after 4 years away from playing in England. It was huge! 100,000 tickets sold, but every one wanted to be there, the fences were broken down in the middle of the night. So no one knows how many were there. 16 year old me was there, and everywhere you looked you could see fires in the distance, as you can see in a few shots. The atmosphere was electric, and Zeppelin played for over 3 hours. An incredible night!!
They were in North Africa, driving through the Sahara in a Land Rover. Plant fell asleep and dreamed this song. He woke up and tried to explain it to the others. "But, dude, Kashmir is like 5,000 miles from here." They all took a chance on this song. It was one of their best.
your witnessing one of the greatest drummers that ever lived young lady. listen to this on your off time the non live version. some of the bands you have listened to have hits. you can listen to anything they made and it was probably some hit on a hit list somewhere you can't go wrong with anything the bluesy stuff is so good
100% Agree. And though his son Jason is an amazing drummer, he lacks the sound and timing that his father had; John held a musical magic within him as did the rest of Led Zeppelin.
And a lot of it from the 🇬🇧 English Midlands.. This is towards their point of falling apart compared to the where they came from ...and created some of the greatest albums of all time.
If you call LZ heavy metal Jimmy Page will laugh because they were more of rock-blues band among other things they did folk, funk, rock, middle eastern influenced songs and Jimmy hated that label of being called a heavy metal band and ive actually talked to him about that and other things, I would put Black Sabbath as the creators of heavy metal in my opinion
And Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience are the founding grandfathers…which makes the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and the “Three Kings” (BB, Albert, and Freddie) the founding great-grandfathers. In the end, each generation stands on the shoulders of giants who came before them. :)
Yes, Zeppelin definitely allows each member to shine bright in any given song. Of course when you have some of the greatest musicians ever at their respective positions in a band then you'd be foolish not to do that. Welcome to the fan club. There are too many great songs by them to recommend any one but you might want to travel back to the beginning to see how amazing they were from the jump. Enjoy! It doesn't get any better.
Even as a big Tool fan, I have to admit that Led Zeppelin is most likely the greatest rock band that ever walked the earth. Their influence on rock music in general is so big, that you can still feel it in todays rock music.
As a zeppeling head i can tell you...Tool are close. not only on skills but on the integrity. Led Zeppelin was a Unique force of 4 musical genius who by fortune,destiny and chemistry found each other. Loved and respected each other skills like no other band has ever. none of them can say with 100% conviction "I'm the best musician in this band" and they love that. When John died the unique force died with him. sorry for my broken english it's not my first language.
I am a little envious of you as this is just the start of your journey into the GOAT of rock bands catalog. Check out the live version of Since I've been lovin' you, which many feel features the greatest guitar solo of all time. One of the many reasons that Zeppelin is the goat is that they understood how to make an emotional connection with the listeners and their songs. They also never forgot their musical roots as well, which was the old American blues masters. Listen to their version of In my Time of Dying to see what I mean there. As for other songs to listen to, may as well start at Led Zeppelin 1, push play, and enjoy the journey :)
If you enjoyed this, then you MUST listen to their live performance of this song from the 2007 concert 'Celebration Day'. Considering they where much older, they don't miss a beat, and it'll blow you away!
John Bonham: probably the most important and bests drummers in history. Jimmy Page: one of the most important and bests guitarists in history. Robert Plant: one of the most important and bests singers in history. John Paul Jones: One of the most important and bests bassists in history. Led Zeppelin: the best rock group in history. What a band.
I disagree with none of your points, but I'd also like to add John Paul Jones so much more than just the bassist. Case in point on Kashmir, where he's handling string arrangements, organ, and bass...all at the same time. He's the greatest Glue Guy in the history of music. He was everything he had to be, to hold Zeppelin's sound together, on every single song.
John Bonham is an amateur compared to Neil Peart. He's good, but he's not on Neil's level. I love Led Zeppelin, but let's not exaggerate in the service of praise.
Excellent, love a bit of Led Zep (most of to be more accurate). 'In My Time Of Dying' is one of my favourites. Did you spot me in the crowd? Knebworth '79 - I was the one with long hair and a denim jacket.
This rabbit hole is deep. They put out so many great tunes it's hard to suggest one over the other. That said, the live 1973 version of The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song is a wonderful way to spend 15 minutes. The outro itself is a masterpiece.
For me, and Robert Plant, this is Zeppelin's best song. I bought "Physical Graffiti" when it came out in 1975 back in high school. I already had Zeppelin I, II, III & IV, Houses of the Holy so this was a definite add. Now for fun, check out the live version from the Celebration Day concert in '06. With the exception of John Bonham's son, Jason, playing the drums they sound almost as good as they did some 30 odd years earlier. In fact it was the first time the 3 original members, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones & Jimmy Page had played a full set together since 1980. You want more? Well there's: "Imigrant Song" "Rock n Roll" "Black Dog" "Good Times, Bad Times" "Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid" (have to do both as that's how the appear on the record) "The Ocean" "In the Evening" "Dazed and Confused" (live) "Moby Dick" (live) "The Song Remains the Same" To start with.
Plant wrote the lyrics in 1973 while driving through the Sahara Desert on the way to the National Festival of folklore in Morocco. Kashmir is in Southern Asia; he was nowhere near it. In Mojo magazine, September 2010, Plant explained: "'Kashmir' came from a trip Jimmy and me made down the Moroccan Atlantic coast, from Agadir down to Sidi Ifni. We were just the same as the other hippies really." The original title was "Driving To Kashmir." Released in 1975 on Phyiscal Graffiti
Robert was the first lead vocalist that used his voice like another instrument instead of more traditional lyricism. He's always improvising like the rest. Funny thing is he was in awe of the bandmates and considered himself as simply adding a little color to the songs.
I am SO GLAD you get it! I think JPJ (keys) is also playing bass with his feet. He typically did when he was on the synths - I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong 🙃
There are great bass lines in this song. But notice how there’s actually no bass player. John Paul Jones, the keyboardist was playing double keyboard - and simultaneously he played the bass part with his foot pedals. His personality is the quiet one, but he’s like Zeppelin’s secret weapon. He’s a multi-instrumentalist. Sometimes he does play actual bass. He also plays flute, mandolin, and god knows how many other instruments.
Zeppelin’s catalog is huge and very diverse, they are amazing. I like things that have a little different sound. No quarter is one of my favorites by them, it’s a fun haunting ride.
My Dad used to lay me down on the living room floor with this old pair of Sony headphones and put on the original Vinyl of all of these classic rock albums. I would get totally lost in the music. There is so much fidelity lost in compressed digital tracks. You are hearing Led Zeppelin.. But on youtube, you aren't really hearing Led Zeppelin.
I was born in '75 I was literally raised on Zeppelin, Skynyrd, the Eagles, Stones, all that.. With you catching up I say better late than never, the music was SO MUCH BETTER back then and it's worth researching fully..
Very good reaction - Hope you'll do lots more Led Zeppelin - the impeccable studio albums and the amazing filmed performances - so many more glorious guitar riffs, drum fills, bass lines and vocalizations. The band crosses into many genres which reflect their musical influences. So many surprises. 😁 Love your comments - Thanks. ☮
I saw Led Zep 6 times. Best Rock Band ever, without a doubt. Jimmy Page, lead guitar, Robert Plant, vocals, John Paul Jones, bass, keyboards and the infamous John Bonham, drums (now deceased). I still listen to them daily....
Music your father grew up on? I grew up on this too. I'm so old now. I love how you give older bands the credit for building the foundations of rock and metal. I also love being introduced to newer artists. I had stopped listening to newer music for a while. Then I got hooked on watching music reactors reacting to old music. Some I liked so started watching their reactions to new music. It's been a great journey.
Awesome reaction! To truly understand the genius of Led Zeppelin, you really need to hear their studio recordings. Jimmy Page, the band's guitarist, also produced every one of the band's albums, and is considered one of the greatest (if not the greatest) music producer of all time. Although their entire catalogue of music is amazing, I would do a reaction to the studio version of the song "Stairway to Heaven" off of the album "Led Zeppelin IV" next. It is considered by many to be the greatest song ever recorded. I subscribed. Peace .
79 was a rough year for hard rock artists. Disco had taken over everything. Robert was very much still reeling in the aftermath of his precious son's untimely death and not long from an accident that almost took his wife and seriously injured him. Jimmy was struggling. He'd been so sick early in his career (from a form of mononucleosis) that he'd stayed off the road and out of bands. His profuse perspiration resulted from always being on the frail side. He'd lose up to ten pounds of water weight in a given show. He was also very seriously into Magick and even bought Boleskine house that once belonged to Aleister Crowley. Bonzo was also struggling and within a year of this performance would be gone. Drinking heavily, he aspirated into his lungs and passed. John Baldwin aka John Paul Jones would be the steadiest force within the band, a man utterly dedicated to his wife and children, he continues making appearances and playing bass and keyboard, recognized as being among the best in both.
J'ai assisté à un concert de " LED Zep" en 1975, j'avais 15 ans ( oui je sais je suis vieux maintenant), c'était mon premier concert, il a duré presque 4 heures, je me souviens que quand le concert à commencer j'ai presque eu peur , tellement le son été puissant et intense, la musique faisait vibrer le corps en entier et je crois que même si je n'avais pas eu d'oreilles j'aurai entendu quand même ! John Bonham frappe très fort, j'ai vu de nombreux autres groupes par la suite , mais je n'ai jamais retrouvé cette intensité phonique , certain joue très fort mais rien à voir , difficile à expliqué . Depuis ce concert mes oreilles se sont misent à siffler , elle sifflent encore aujourd'hui , mais je ne leurs en veux pas !!!
Led Zeppelin is a real phenomenon. It was a meeting of the best rock singer (Plant), the best guitarist (Page) and the best drummer (Bonham). The multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones remained somewhat in their shadow, but without his bass and keyboards, the unique arrangements of many songs would not have been created. I recommend you my "golden seven" of Led Zeppelin: 1. Dazed & Confused; 2. Since I've Been Loving You; 3. Whole Lotta Love; 4. When the Levee Breaks; 5. Immigrant Song; 6. Black Dog; 7. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. But I recommend the studio versions first.
Great reaction, always enjoying an honest video. Also I recommed to watch their version after almost 40 years with out being together. Probably one of the best live performances ever.
@@AileenSenpai I’m slightly envious of you. Welcome to one of your favorite bands now & forever. As a vocalist you really should listen to their first 4 albums, like right now. Each one is a journey that never stops giving you wizard moves. Enjoy!
Listening to this in the summer of 75' was so amazing. What a time to be young. The song and the album it was released on. This was a great live version of it, haven't watched it in a minute, cool to see her loving the classic's.
7:54 "Never mind! Not simple!" Welcome to John Bonham's abilities, lol! he COULD be simple when simplicity was called for, but his joy was in fills and flourishes, the likes of which we may never hear again. Exquisite taste is what all these guys had--when to show off, when to hold off. Coming here from seeing your two recent reactions of Zep, your re-discovery , if you will, after ten months from this song. Excellent stuff, songs and reactions. You liked Bonham's snare in "Whole Lotta Love." "The Lemon Song" has the same and to spare...And the bass is outrageously superb! EDIT: Oh, wow, just listening to the rest of your commentary, and I see that at around 15:00 you totally nailed what i was talking about when I mentioned their "exquisite taste"! Bravo! I KNEW there was a reason I subscribed after seeing only a few of your reactions, lol!
Managed to be at this concert - such an event 150,000 ish at Knebworth 4th and 11th August 1979. Very memorable and so glad I managed to see this awesome foursome. Bands like Red Hot Chillies come close to the tight but loose groove but Zeppelin remain unique I feel.
One thing I love about Led Zeppelin they will do a switch up on you in a song. Actually most of their song are switch ups. They are one of the most versatile bands ever, and my favorite.
Led Zepplein is without a doubt legendary. Here are some of my favorites that I hope you react to or just enjoy on your own in order. Good Times Bad Times Ramble On Stairway to Heaven Rock and Roll Hey, Hey, What Can I Do What is and Should Never Be In the Light Over the Hills and Far Away Tangerine Babe I’m Gonna Leave You Black Dog Nobody’s Fault But Mine Heartbreaker Misty Mountain Hop Dazed and Confused No Quarter When the Levee Breaks So many more, I’m sure I’m missing something in between.
Interesting when you said you lived their body language. This was 1979 and their first performance in two years…after Robert Plants ( the singer) little boy died. He is incredibly subdued compared to early career…1969-1973. Jimmy Page, the guitarist, was dealing with heavy drug addictions at this time and, although he he still playing in high form here, physically he is a shadow of his younger rock-god self…..noted for his charismatic guitar moves. If you continue this journey, hopefully you will listen to snd then watch them in their prime 1970-1975. You will get body language in spades. 😉😁
Formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page (he also produced all their albums), the band consisted of bassist/keyboardist/mandolin player John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham, and vocalist/harmonica player Robert Plant. Their genre was hard rock/heavy blues but they played a variety of styles such as folk, ballads, rock, rockabilly, ethereal, prog-rock, funk, world music and more. While they were NOT metal, they're considered one of the progenitors of metal; sort of a "great grandfather", if you will. They disbanded in 1980 with the death of Bonham. I hope you continue with more Led Zeppelin.
You would LOVE Achilles Last Stand from the same show at Knebworth. It's my fave performance. Robert Plant has referred to it as one of their best ever. 😊
First off, love that you're getting into the older rock music, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and now Zeppelin. Only 33 and even though I personally tend to lean towards the heavier stuff like Maiden, Megadeth, and newer stuff like Lamb of God, Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Led Zeppelin is hands down my favorite band of all time. 3 Zeppelin tattoos and memorabilia wherever you look in the house. What I would give to see them in their prime. Most people would probably suggest Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, or Immigrant Song, if you continue then you should check out When the Levee Breaks, Achilles Last Stand, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Trampled Underfoot, or The Battle of Evermore. Robert Plant - One of the greatest and most recognized voices in rock. Jimmy Page - One of the best guitarists to every walk the earth. John Paul Jones - Probably one of the most overlooked band members, compared to ones overlooked in other bands. Everyone seems to know Plant, Page, and Bonham but he's just the bass and keyboard player. John Bonham (AKA Bonzo or The Beast) - RIP. Lost WAY too soon. (Pulmonary aspiration) Only 32 and had already achieved so much with the band. And he NEVER used a double bass pedal or double bass drum set up. These 4 kids would go on to create one of the biggest and most influential band of ALL time. Up there with The Beetles Most bands after a member passed on, they typically take some time off, find a replacement, then continue on. Not Led Zeppelin. When Bonham passed in 1980, the band had only been around for 12 years, they decided to end Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant said something along the lines of "Bonzo WAS the heartbeat of Zeppelin. Without a heart, how can anything continue to live." or something to that effect. Since his passing, the remaining 3 members have only reunited for 3 concerts, 1985 Live Aid in Philly with Tony Thompson and Phil Collins filling in for drums, which Plant described as an overall "atrocity" being that none of them had played together for 5 years. Then again in 1988 for Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary with Bonzo's own son Jason stepping up to fill his father's shoes. Page described that one as "one giant disappointment." Then finally in 2007 for The Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert. Once again with Jason stepping up again. This one went way better. According to Guinness World Records, it set a record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert" when 20 million requests were submitted online within the first 2 days of announcement. This one was very highly praised by fans and critics that they tried to push Zeppelin into a reunion. As of now, Plant is touring and preforming with singer-songwriter Alison Krauss. Page is kind of low key now. He worked on the fully remastered Led Zeppelin catalog and is pretty much has just been a studio and touring guitarist for several different bands. Jones has also filled in as a studio and touring bassist as well as doing collaborations with many artists and recorded 2 solo albums. In 2009 he, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), got together to form a "super group" know as Them Crooked Vultures releasing just one studio album and a handful of tours. He has very recently formed his own new band Sons of Chipotle but due to Covid, has not been able to perform.
Hi Aileen Zeppelin is fabulous!!!! They have many different styles. The best way to enjoy them is from the beginning LZ1 track 1 which is Good Times Bad Times. Then go onto the 2nd track etc. this way you don’t miss any hidden gem. I’ve been a Zeppelin fan since they first burst onto the scene & changed the course of music. Ok so the lead guitar producer acoustic guitar steel guitar band creator is Jimmy Page…Singer Lyricist & harmonica… Robert Plant ….. Drums John Bonzo Bonham…..Bass guitar keyboards every other instrument on earth !! John Paul Jones…. Zeppelin is quite the rabbit hole 🕳 you will definitely have a lot of company as they have a big following. So happy you’re enjoying my all time favorite song since it came out in ‘75!!!!! ☮️
Hello beautiful lady!!!, I am back. I like it when you are excited!! Your dad and I are blessed to have grown up with this music. And he is blessed to have a daughter like you!!! I have two great girls of my own. They mean the world to me.... Zeppelin along with several English bands were influenced by American jazz and soul artists! Many. including myself think John Bonham was the best rock drummer EVER!!! Bar none. The best..... !!!!!! Many folks do not understand music, especially some rock. SAD!!! Narrow-minded.... You are special and quite beautiful.... I love your channel and what you bring to it!!! Miss Tara Simmon stated that Zeppelin never performed a song the same way each time. She also said that each member of this great band was/is a separate limb of the same body.....Think about that statement.... See you again soon.
Saw led Zep in 1971 on Long Island NY Again for the Graffiti tour , 3 nites in a row at Madison Square Garden.(first row one nite) Loudest concerts ever... Gods of rock !!!! JP rules....
Hi Aileen. New subsciber here. Well, you picked the right Led Zep song to start with. Everybody knows them for "Stairway to Heaven", but personally I think "Kashmir" is their opus. You are right on target about song length...there are great songs out there by the best of the progressive rock bands of the 70s and 80s. Probably the next band you should give a listen to is YES, which in many peoples' minds is one of the best bands of all time. They were noted for their long songs and suites which would include fabulous changes in tempo within many of their songs and were better at it than pretty much anyone...maybe along with early Genesis ... the band that gave us Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. I would recommend you might listen to their "Close to the Edge" song which is the title track on their 4th album. It is a classic progressive rock anthem. I think you will really get into the band's sheer musical ability. Anyway, thanks for bringing back old memories with "Kashmir".
Loved the way you analyzed the song. Fantastic job. Can't wait to hear you comment on other songs. I would recommend doing Stairway To Heaven, one of led Zeppelins flagship songs.
This heals my soul. My favorite is How Many More Times live at Albert Hall. It has everything great about Zeppelin. Great riff. Power and attitude. Zeppelin is all about attitude.
It’s truly amazing to watch this same song performed by them in 2007 ….with the drummers son filling in for his dad who passed in 1980. Robert’s voice is still magnificent…, I think even better myself… and the whole band is tight and fantastically good.
Watch them play this live at Celebration Day in 2007. Zeppelin has so many great songs. They kinda mastered the Blues/Rock Genre at the same time becoming the Powerhouse Acid Rock band(now considered Heavy Metal) I would really like to see your reaction to them performing this in 2007. They had over 40 yrs to fine tune it and in my opinion their best performance of all time.
@@bishlap If you'll do a little research you'll find that Robert considers this one of his worst performances ever. Plus the sound quality is so much better, but to each his own.
You are in for a ride, young lady. They are passionate, super talented and every song is different. Not a bad song on any of their studio albums and live their performances are just masterful.
It's impossible to overstate, just how influential this band is to the music industry both past and present, including to modern day legends like Radiohead!
Led zeppelin should never be compared to bands like radiohead Who you call legends no their Not zeppelin definitely are legends Radiohead are overhyped like a lot of bands today
This is the greatest band in history!
One of
Yeah one of the best...top 5 for sure but nobody is taking the top spot from The Beattles
i mean they ripped off most of their best songs from other bands but ok
Abso-fucking-luteley is.
John Bonham is a master of the percussive persuasion without any doubts about it ever. He could be smooth and slow with that easiness then get all technical without a hitch and all the sudden masterfully thunderish. Everything a drummer should be and more. They're all time greats.
It's LED ZEPPELIN!!!! The greatest rock band to ever grace this earth, in my opinion..... So much great music you still need to give a listen to. Such a huge "rabbit" hole to dive into with Zeppelin... Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Love all your insights on your reactions... Always keep that "rock and roll" smile on your face!!!!!! Keep rocking!!!!! Music will always bring people together....
And you're exactly right!! The greatest ever!
The Romans built the Coliseum and the Greeks built the amphitheaters for the coming of this band

You have no idea!

If any ONE person is a GOD.......John Bonham Has the qualifications, and them some.
Oh man that John Bonham groove and feel is just incredibly good. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest ever, he was and still is a huge inspiration for so many drummers. My favorite drummer with Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy and Gavin Harrison.
Bonham’s so deep in the pocket he’s covered in lint and spare change
Really, just omitting Neil? 😉
Totally agree, but I would ad Neil Peart from Rush to the list.
Bonzo was the king
Oh yes, that Moby Dick drum solo is still without a doubt one of the best drum solo of all time.
I was at this concert in '79. Still love it. Best band ever :-)
I would give almost anything to have been blessed to be there… can’t imagine
This is a kick ass performance, I’ve seen it a million times but will always take the time to make it a million and one.
Zeppelin was the greatest rock-n-roll band that ever was or ever will be. John Bonham was, IMHO, the greatest drummer to ever live.

100% Agree.
And though his son Jason is an amazing drummer, he lacks the sound and timing that his father had; John held a musical magic within him as did the rest of Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin, the perfect musical storm.Legends ❤❤❤
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are the founding Fathers of Heavy Metal!
And a lot of it from the 🇬🇧 English Midlands..
This is towards their point of falling apart compared to the where they came from ...and created some of the greatest albums of all time.
If you call LZ heavy metal Jimmy Page will laugh because they were more of rock-blues band among other things they did folk, funk, rock, middle eastern influenced songs and Jimmy hated that label of being called a heavy metal band and ive actually talked to him about that and other things, I would put Black Sabbath as the creators of heavy metal in my opinion
And Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience are the founding grandfathers…which makes the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and the “Three Kings” (BB, Albert, and Freddie) the founding great-grandfathers.
In the end, each generation stands on the shoulders of giants who came before them. :)
I'd call Black Sabbath the Grandfather's of Metal. Tony Iommi developed many of the riffs that were used in metal
@@metalmark1214 James Hetfield-himself one of the most influential metal rhythm guitarists-would agree 100%. Tony was/is his biggest musical hero.
The rock Gods that shaped rock & roll forevermore. Thank u for sharing.
Yes, Zeppelin definitely allows each member to shine bright in any given song. Of course when you have some of the greatest musicians ever at their respective positions in a band then you'd be foolish not to do that. Welcome to the fan club. There are too many great songs by them to recommend any one but you might want to travel back to the beginning to see how amazing they were from the jump. Enjoy! It doesn't get any better.
You could legit do a weekly Zepp reaction and not run out of content for a long time. So many excellent tracks to discover. You’re in for a treat!
Even as a big Tool fan, I have to admit that Led Zeppelin is most likely the greatest rock band that ever walked the earth. Their influence on rock music in general is so big, that you can still feel it in todays rock music.
I totally agree bonham sits alone atop the throne and Danny Carey is right up there close to his side.
Couldn't agree more.
As a zeppeling head i can tell you...Tool are close. not only on skills but on the integrity. Led Zeppelin was a Unique force of 4 musical genius who by fortune,destiny and chemistry found each other. Loved and respected each other skills like no other band has ever. none of them can say with 100% conviction "I'm the best musician in this band" and they love that. When John died the unique force died with him. sorry for my broken english it's not my first language.
@@AfonsoHenriques1139 Don't worry! Mine is German. But yeah, can't agree more.
@@AfonsoHenriques1139 couldn't agree more
More more more more Zeppelin! Like... si much more. I am so glad I just found this channel. Digging it a lot.
This is and always will be my favourite Zeppelin song. I loved it the 1st time I heard it around '75/76 and still love it.
I am a little envious of you as this is just the start of your journey into the GOAT of rock bands catalog. Check out the live version of Since I've been lovin' you, which many feel features the greatest guitar solo of all time. One of the many reasons that Zeppelin is the goat is that they understood how to make an emotional connection with the listeners and their songs. They also never forgot their musical roots as well, which was the old American blues masters. Listen to their version of In my Time of Dying to see what I mean there.
As for other songs to listen to, may as well start at Led Zeppelin 1, push play, and enjoy the journey :)
I really like the O2 farewell concert version too. Great drums by Jason Bonham, John's son, in that one. Beautifully recorded.
If you enjoyed this, then you MUST listen to their live performance of this song from the 2007 concert 'Celebration Day'. Considering they where much older, they don't miss a beat, and it'll blow you away!
John Bonham: probably the most important and bests drummers in history.
Jimmy Page: one of the most important and bests guitarists in history.
Robert Plant: one of the most important and bests singers in history.
John Paul Jones: One of the most important and bests bassists in history.
Led Zeppelin: the best rock group in history.
What a band.
I disagree with none of your points, but I'd also like to add John Paul Jones so much more than just the bassist. Case in point on Kashmir, where he's handling string arrangements, organ, and bass...all at the same time. He's the greatest Glue Guy in the history of music. He was everything he had to be, to hold Zeppelin's sound together, on every single song.
@@TheLanceUppercut man, you're so right!
John Bonham is an amateur compared to Neil Peart. He's good, but he's not on Neil's level. I love Led Zeppelin, but let's not exaggerate in the service of praise.
@@reliantncc1864 An amateur? And you want to admonish people for being hyperbolic? Dude, c'mon
@@TheLanceUppercut I did say in comparison to Neil Peart. That's not hyperbolic at all.
Excellent, love a bit of Led Zep (most of to be more accurate). 'In My Time Of Dying' is one of my favourites.
Did you spot me in the crowd? Knebworth '79 - I was the one with long hair and a denim jacket.
You just listened to the greatest rock band ever!!! Their musical diversity is unbelievable
Once you go down this rabbit hole with zeppelin there's no coming back. Soo many great songs.
This rabbit hole is deep. They put out so many great tunes it's hard to suggest one over the other. That said, the live 1973 version of The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song is a wonderful way to spend 15 minutes. The outro itself is a masterpiece.
For me, and Robert Plant, this is Zeppelin's best song.
I bought "Physical Graffiti" when it came out in 1975 back in high school.
I already had Zeppelin I, II, III & IV, Houses of the Holy so this was a definite add.
Now for fun, check out the live version from the Celebration Day concert in '06. With the exception of John Bonham's son, Jason, playing the drums they sound almost as good as they did some 30 odd years earlier.
In fact it was the first time the 3 original members, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones & Jimmy Page had played a full set together since 1980.
You want more?
Well there's:
"Imigrant Song"
"Rock n Roll"
"Black Dog"
"Good Times, Bad Times"
"Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid" (have to do both as that's how the appear on the record)
"The Ocean"
"In the Evening"
"Dazed and Confused" (live)
"Moby Dick" (live)
"The Song Remains the Same"
To start with.
To me, this is easily their best song. Finely crafted, and gives an ethereal feel that's hard to describe. The studio version is a lot better, though.
I love seeing people who obviously appreciate music hearing LZ for the first time. The more you know about them, the more you will appreciate them
Plant wrote the lyrics in 1973 while driving through the Sahara Desert on the way to the National Festival of folklore in Morocco. Kashmir is in Southern Asia; he was nowhere near it. In Mojo magazine, September 2010, Plant explained: "'Kashmir' came from a trip Jimmy and me made down the Moroccan Atlantic coast, from Agadir down to Sidi Ifni. We were just the same as the other hippies really." The original title was "Driving To Kashmir." Released in 1975 on Phyiscal Graffiti
The even more Moroccan based Page and Plant version from 1995 is better IMO.
India.. Sahara is Africa
Robert was the first lead vocalist that used his voice like another instrument instead of more traditional lyricism. He's always improvising like the rest. Funny thing is he was in awe of the bandmates and considered himself as simply adding a little color to the songs.
I am SO GLAD you get it! I think JPJ (keys) is also playing bass with his feet. He typically did when he was on the synths - I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong 🙃
Spot on. When not on Bass guitar, JPJ played bass pedals while on keys. Every member contributed hugely to the Zeppelin sound.
great reaction and great smile! can't wait to see some more Led Zep reactions!!!
There are great bass lines in this song. But notice how there’s actually no bass player. John Paul Jones, the keyboardist was playing double keyboard - and simultaneously he played the bass part with his foot pedals. His personality is the quiet one, but he’s like Zeppelin’s secret weapon. He’s a multi-instrumentalist. Sometimes he does play actual bass. He also plays flute, mandolin, and god knows how many other instruments.
This is arguably the best rock band in music history. This is an era before auto tune and all the singers were great musicians with their vocals
Zeppelin’s catalog is huge and very diverse, they are amazing. I like things that have a little different sound. No quarter is one of my favorites by them, it’s a fun haunting ride.
I often change my station to the classic rock channel to just remember. Your one of the best reactors in my daily watch
I also love how you pointed out how music is art and it's a great way to express your feelings and emotions!! 😁👍🤘
My Dad used to lay me down on the living room floor with this old pair of Sony headphones and put on the original Vinyl of all of these classic rock albums. I would get totally lost in the music. There is so much fidelity lost in compressed digital tracks. You are hearing Led Zeppelin.. But on youtube, you aren't really hearing Led Zeppelin.
I was born in '75 I was literally raised on Zeppelin, Skynyrd, the Eagles, Stones, all that.. With you catching up I say better late than never, the music was SO MUCH BETTER back then and it's worth researching fully..
Very good reaction - Hope you'll do lots more Led Zeppelin - the impeccable studio albums and the amazing filmed performances - so many more glorious guitar riffs, drum fills, bass lines and vocalizations. The band crosses into many genres which reflect their musical influences. So many surprises. 😁 Love your comments - Thanks. ☮
I love when your reactions seem like you are in a rush to chill.
I saw Led Zep 6 times. Best Rock Band ever, without a doubt. Jimmy Page, lead guitar, Robert Plant, vocals, John Paul Jones, bass, keyboards and the infamous John Bonham, drums (now deceased). I still listen to them daily....
Well, if it's a long song you want, "Dazed and Confused" from Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains The Same" concert film clocks in at over 20 minutes.
Great react again beaty for a great performance! Absolutely classic. No more words! See you at the next!
Music your father grew up on? I grew up on this too. I'm so old now. I love how you give older bands the credit for building the foundations of rock and metal. I also love being introduced to newer artists. I had stopped listening to newer music for a while. Then I got hooked on watching music reactors reacting to old music. Some I liked so started watching their reactions to new music. It's been a great journey.
Love your reactions Aileen, you pay close attention to the songs and react genuinely
Led zepellin kashmir. 🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏
Awesome reaction! To truly understand the genius of Led Zeppelin, you really need to hear their studio recordings. Jimmy Page, the band's guitarist, also produced every one of the band's albums, and is considered one of the greatest (if not the greatest) music producer of all time. Although their entire catalogue of music is amazing, I would do a reaction to the studio version of the song "Stairway to Heaven" off of the album "Led Zeppelin IV" next. It is considered by many to be the greatest song ever recorded. I subscribed.
Peace .
79 was a rough year for hard rock artists. Disco had taken over everything. Robert was very much still reeling in the aftermath of his precious son's untimely death and not long from an accident that almost took his wife and seriously injured him. Jimmy was struggling. He'd been so sick early in his career (from a form of mononucleosis) that he'd stayed off the road and out of bands. His profuse perspiration resulted from always being on the frail side. He'd lose up to ten pounds of water weight in a given show. He was also very seriously into Magick and even bought Boleskine house that once belonged to Aleister Crowley. Bonzo was also struggling and within a year of this performance would be gone. Drinking heavily, he aspirated into his lungs and passed. John Baldwin aka John Paul Jones would be the steadiest force within the band, a man utterly dedicated to his wife and children, he continues making appearances and playing bass and keyboard, recognized as being among the best in both.
J'ai assisté à un concert de " LED Zep" en 1975, j'avais 15 ans ( oui je sais je suis vieux maintenant), c'était mon premier concert, il a duré presque 4 heures, je me souviens que quand le concert à commencer j'ai presque eu peur , tellement le son été puissant et intense, la musique faisait vibrer le corps en entier et je crois que même si je n'avais pas eu d'oreilles j'aurai entendu quand même ! John Bonham frappe très fort, j'ai vu de nombreux autres groupes par la suite , mais je n'ai jamais retrouvé cette intensité phonique , certain joue très fort mais rien à voir , difficile à expliqué . Depuis ce concert mes oreilles se sont misent à siffler , elle sifflent encore aujourd'hui , mais je ne leurs en veux pas !!!
Led Zeppelin is a real phenomenon. It was a meeting of the best rock singer (Plant), the best guitarist (Page) and the best drummer (Bonham). The multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones remained somewhat in their shadow, but without his bass and keyboards, the unique arrangements of many songs would not have been created. I recommend you my "golden seven" of Led Zeppelin: 1. Dazed & Confused; 2. Since I've Been Loving You; 3. Whole Lotta Love; 4. When the Levee Breaks; 5. Immigrant Song; 6. Black Dog; 7. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. But I recommend the studio versions first.
Great reaction, always enjoying an honest video. Also I recommed to watch their version after almost 40 years with out being together. Probably one of the best live performances ever.
What can you say it's Led Zep they did it all . So diverse so much emotion so much talent. The best ever!!
Love how you're loving his voice...just wait until you hear more songs !!!
Truly a Masterpiece a Led Zeppelin Classic .Again awesome reaction.
Alieen have you ever considered singing on one of your videos .
Would love it.🎤💕
I love your excellent reaction to this exceptional Rock Song!
Thank you so much!
@@AileenSenpai I’m slightly envious of you. Welcome to one of your favorite bands now & forever.
As a vocalist you really should listen to their first 4 albums, like right now. Each one is a journey that never stops giving you wizard moves.
Enjoy!
Led Zeppelin is awesome. Aileen is digging it, groovy. Right out of the 60s. I like her.
Listening to this in the summer of 75' was so amazing. What a time to be young. The song and the album it was released on. This was a great live version of it, haven't watched it in a minute, cool to see her loving the classic's.
I was 15 in 1975 too! What a time to be alive!!
7:54 "Never mind! Not simple!" Welcome to John Bonham's abilities, lol! he COULD be simple when simplicity was called for, but his joy was in fills and flourishes, the likes of which we may never hear again. Exquisite taste is what all these guys had--when to show off, when to hold off. Coming here from seeing your two recent reactions of Zep, your re-discovery , if you will, after ten months from this song. Excellent stuff, songs and reactions. You liked Bonham's snare in "Whole Lotta Love." "The Lemon Song" has the same and to spare...And the bass is outrageously superb! EDIT: Oh, wow, just listening to the rest of your commentary, and I see that at around 15:00 you totally nailed what i was talking about when I mentioned their "exquisite taste"! Bravo! I KNEW there was a reason I subscribed after seeing only a few of your reactions, lol!
Beautiful to know that his son filled in his shoes and tours with the rest of the band.
@@kevinmathers2701 Yes, I need to catch one of Jason Bonham's shows someday!
since I've been loving you live at MSG will blow you away!
Managed to be at this concert - such an event 150,000 ish at Knebworth 4th and 11th August 1979. Very memorable and so glad I managed to see this awesome foursome. Bands like Red Hot Chillies come close to the tight but loose groove but Zeppelin remain unique I feel.
One thing I love about Led Zeppelin they will do a switch up on you in a song. Actually most of their song are switch ups. They are one of the most versatile bands ever, and my favorite.
Led Zepplein is without a doubt legendary. Here are some of my favorites that I hope you react to or just enjoy on your own in order.
Good Times Bad Times
Ramble On
Stairway to Heaven
Rock and Roll
Hey, Hey, What Can I Do
What is and Should Never Be
In the Light
Over the Hills and Far Away
Tangerine
Babe I’m Gonna Leave You
Black Dog
Nobody’s Fault But Mine
Heartbreaker
Misty Mountain Hop
Dazed and Confused
No Quarter
When the Levee Breaks
So many more, I’m sure I’m missing something in between.
I was at that concert in Knebworth Uk
Interesting when you said you lived their body language. This was 1979 and their first performance in two years…after Robert Plants ( the singer) little boy died. He is incredibly subdued compared to early career…1969-1973. Jimmy Page, the guitarist, was dealing with heavy drug addictions at this time and, although he he still playing in high form here, physically he is a shadow of his younger rock-god self…..noted for his charismatic guitar moves. If you continue this journey, hopefully you will listen to snd then watch them in their prime 1970-1975. You will get body language in spades. 😉😁
I'm 61 yrs old and I still very much enjoy Led Zeppelin and your reaction as a younger person is awesome
Robert Plant. Can Sing! hands down! Also Early band (The Who) Roger Daultry singer! WOW
Formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page (he also produced all their albums), the band consisted of bassist/keyboardist/mandolin player John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham, and vocalist/harmonica player Robert Plant. Their genre was hard rock/heavy blues but they played a variety of styles such as folk, ballads, rock, rockabilly, ethereal, prog-rock, funk, world music and more. While they were NOT metal, they're considered one of the progenitors of metal; sort of a "great grandfather", if you will. They disbanded in 1980 with the death of Bonham. I hope you continue with more Led Zeppelin.
I love that you appreciate the intragragracies of this song it is probably led zeps greatest song of all time
You would LOVE Achilles Last Stand from the same show at Knebworth. It's my fave performance. Robert Plant has referred to it as one of their best ever. 😊
This is my favourite song of Led Zeppelin and it is my ringtone as well.
Oh and so glad you picked this version. The audience were about 180 thousand AND 1 very Lucky 18year old kid😁
First off, love that you're getting into the older rock music, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and now Zeppelin. Only 33 and even though I personally tend to lean towards the heavier stuff like Maiden, Megadeth, and newer stuff like Lamb of God, Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Led Zeppelin is hands down my favorite band of all time. 3 Zeppelin tattoos and memorabilia wherever you look in the house. What I would give to see them in their prime. Most people would probably suggest Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, or Immigrant Song, if you continue then you should check out When the Levee Breaks, Achilles Last Stand, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Trampled Underfoot, or The Battle of Evermore.
Robert Plant - One of the greatest and most recognized voices in rock.
Jimmy Page - One of the best guitarists to every walk the earth.
John Paul Jones - Probably one of the most overlooked band members, compared to ones overlooked in other bands. Everyone seems to know Plant, Page, and Bonham but he's just the bass and keyboard player.
John Bonham (AKA Bonzo or The Beast) - RIP. Lost WAY too soon. (Pulmonary aspiration) Only 32 and had already achieved so much with the band. And he NEVER used a double bass pedal or double bass drum set up.
These 4 kids would go on to create one of the biggest and most influential band of ALL time. Up there with The Beetles
Most bands after a member passed on, they typically take some time off, find a replacement, then continue on. Not Led Zeppelin. When Bonham passed in 1980, the band had only been around for 12 years, they decided to end Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant said something along the lines of "Bonzo WAS the heartbeat of Zeppelin. Without a heart, how can anything continue to live." or something to that effect. Since his passing, the remaining 3 members have only reunited for 3 concerts, 1985 Live Aid in Philly with Tony Thompson and Phil Collins filling in for drums, which Plant described as an overall "atrocity" being that none of them had played together for 5 years. Then again in 1988 for Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary with Bonzo's own son Jason stepping up to fill his father's shoes. Page described that one as "one giant disappointment." Then finally in 2007 for The Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert. Once again with Jason stepping up again. This one went way better. According to Guinness World Records, it set a record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert" when 20 million requests were submitted online within the first 2 days of announcement. This one was very highly praised by fans and critics that they tried to push Zeppelin into a reunion. As of now, Plant is touring and preforming with singer-songwriter Alison Krauss. Page is kind of low key now. He worked on the fully remastered Led Zeppelin catalog and is pretty much has just been a studio and touring guitarist for several different bands. Jones has also filled in as a studio and touring bassist as well as doing collaborations with many artists and recorded 2 solo albums. In 2009 he, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), got together to form a "super group" know as Them Crooked Vultures releasing just one studio album and a handful of tours. He has very recently formed his own new band Sons of Chipotle but due to Covid, has not been able to perform.
I love "Kashmir". "Rain Song" and "Battle of Evermore" are my favorite Led Zeppelin songs.
If you haven't already, you should listen to the whole Physical Graffiti album.
Hi Aileen Zeppelin is fabulous!!!! They have many different styles. The best way to enjoy them is from the beginning LZ1 track 1 which is Good Times Bad Times. Then go onto the 2nd track etc. this way you don’t miss any hidden gem. I’ve been a Zeppelin fan since they first burst onto the scene & changed the course of music. Ok so the lead guitar producer acoustic guitar steel guitar band creator is Jimmy Page…Singer Lyricist & harmonica… Robert Plant ….. Drums John Bonzo Bonham…..Bass guitar keyboards every other instrument on earth !! John Paul Jones…. Zeppelin is quite the rabbit hole 🕳 you will definitely have a lot of company as they have a big following. So happy you’re enjoying my all time favorite song since it came out in ‘75!!!!! ☮️
Hello beautiful lady!!!,
I am back. I like it when you are excited!! Your dad and I are blessed to have grown up with this music. And he is blessed to have a daughter like you!!! I have two great girls of my own. They mean the world to me.... Zeppelin along with several English bands were influenced by American jazz and soul artists!
Many. including myself think John Bonham was the best rock drummer EVER!!! Bar none. The best..... !!!!!!
Many folks do not understand music, especially some rock. SAD!!! Narrow-minded.... You are special and quite beautiful.... I love your channel and what you bring to it!!!
Miss Tara Simmon stated that Zeppelin never performed a song the same way each time. She also said that each member of this great band was/is a separate limb of the same body.....Think about that statement.... See you again soon.
Man this is just amazing I love Led Zeppelin!🔥😈Great reaction!👌❤😊
Glad you enjoyed
Awesome reaction. Love Led Zeppelin
The first concert i was able to go to was Led Zeppelin in 1969, i was 13. I was blessed to see them in concert twice.
Patiently awaiting your next Zeppelin reaction… 😁
Saw led Zep in 1971 on Long Island NY
Again for the Graffiti tour , 3 nites in a row at Madison Square Garden.(first row one nite)
Loudest concerts ever... Gods of rock !!!!
JP rules....
Hi Aileen. New subsciber here. Well, you picked the right Led Zep song to start with. Everybody knows them for "Stairway to Heaven", but personally I think "Kashmir" is their opus. You are right on target about song length...there are great songs out there by the best of the progressive rock bands of the 70s and 80s. Probably the next band you should give a listen to is YES, which in many peoples' minds is one of the best bands of all time. They were noted for their long songs and suites which would include fabulous changes in tempo within many of their songs and were better at it than pretty much anyone...maybe along with early Genesis ... the band that gave us Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. I would recommend you might listen to their "Close to the Edge" song which is the title track on their 4th album. It is a classic progressive rock anthem. I think you will really get into the band's sheer musical ability. Anyway, thanks for bringing back old memories with "Kashmir".
Loved the way you analyzed the song. Fantastic job. Can't wait to hear you comment on other songs. I would recommend doing Stairway To Heaven, one of led Zeppelins flagship songs.
This heals my soul. My favorite is How Many More Times live at Albert Hall. It has everything great about Zeppelin. Great riff. Power and attitude. Zeppelin is all about attitude.
They never disappoint!
It’s truly amazing to watch this same song performed by them in 2007 ….with the drummers son filling in for his dad who passed in 1980. Robert’s voice is still magnificent…, I think even better myself… and the whole band is tight and fantastically good.
Well said Senpai lol!
As the dust that floats high in June
We're moving through Kashmir.
Man, this is the only Zep song you've reacted to. I wait with baited breath to see some more.
‘simple ok not simple’ [drums] ❤️ iconic yourself.
Rammstein and Led Zeppelin is my favorites of all time !
Some bands are so good that no one can compete
If you are going to explore more Les Zeppelin I’m all in. I loved your reaction and appreciate your ear for music.
Watch them play this live at Celebration Day in 2007.
Zeppelin has so many great songs. They kinda mastered the Blues/Rock Genre at the same time becoming the Powerhouse Acid Rock band(now considered Heavy Metal)
I would really like to see your reaction to them performing this in 2007.
They had over 40 yrs to fine tune it and in my opinion their best performance of all time.
Yes! The Celebration Day one is my favorite version of this song. It's mixed so good.
KNEBWORTH is where it's at!!!
@@bishlap If you'll do a little research you'll find that Robert considers this one of his worst performances ever. Plus the sound quality is so much better, but to each his own.
I've been with Led Zeppelin since the beginning they can do a song it's like three songs in one it's unbelievable what they can do
Yes, they're mainly blues but have organic additions of funk, soul, rocknroll and jazz
You are in for a ride, young lady. They are passionate, super talented and every song is different. Not a bad song on any of their studio albums and live their performances are just masterful.
It's impossible to overstate, just how influential this band is to the music industry both past and present, including to modern day legends like Radiohead!
Led zeppelin should never be compared to bands like radiohead
Who you call legends no their
Not zeppelin definitely are legends
Radiohead are overhyped like a lot of bands today
React to Achilles last stand from the same concert this will blow your mind
