In case you didn’t realize it, John Paul Jones (the bass player) is the one who came up with this riff. He is their secret (and in my opinion, underrated) weapon.
He is the secret weapon when it comes to this group. Stays just insight on stage, creates that Zeppelin sound. What a group! What talented individuals!
I appreciate a male giving Robert Plant his due! No way you can dismiss his charisma and sex appeal, but he holds back enough not to overpower the music. There is always something that draws you to the bad boy musician, but no one comes close to Robert Plant.
I really like your reactions to the legendary Zep. You really appreciate their enormous talent. I have been a huge fan for 50 years. I saw them live in 1973. We were front row center and it was the best concert of my life. I was literally deaf for the next 3 days. Anyway I just had the pleasure and shock of my life by meeting Robert this Father's day. We ran into him at a little out the way Mexican Restaurant and ended up talking to him for a good while. I was so shocked that I could hardly speak. The way it happened was a total miracle too. He is incredibly nice and funny and his voice is still amazing!! Hes 74 years old now. Good thing I didn't meet him when we were young because I would have passed out. I just wanted to share that with you because I'm still on Cloud 9!🤩
Great story I grew up in the 80s so by then , well you know but when I discovered zep it changed my whole outlook on music it literally blew me away peace brother from Ct
You met Robert Plant and had.a nice long talk with him !!!!!!!! Amazing. I have heard that Plant has always been a nice guy. Even during Zeppelin's hey day. I've seen interviews with him in the 80s on MTV and he came across being funny and yet, it is the kind of humor you have to get.
One thing that made Zep unique was the way Bonzo would twin Jimmy's guitar work on the drums. If you listen closely, you can hear that he's playing the same riff as Jimmy. They did this a lot, and when Jonesy would join them in the same riff on the bass, you'd get that "hammer of the gods" sound they were famous for.
Saw Robert Plant (lead singer) live right before COVID hit. He sang a lot of Zeppelin songs. Let me just say, da man still got it. He still has an incredible voice.
I feel blessed to be a teenager when first heard Led Zeppelin . Never looked back. Alto of young people don’t really understand why we hold in to the 70’s music and don’t care fit todays. This is why. It makes me smile to see you excited and sharing this amazing time in history if music
I'm 65, from Denmark and grew up with Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath. .. I love that the good music can't die, when Guys lige you keeps them alive
Robert is still around. After Led Zeppelin, he had a great solo run in the 80's and 90's...THEN...he teamed up w Country/Blue star Allison Krauss and recorded Grammy winning albums. The guy still has that swagger. Women STILL swoon for Robert, it's crazy to see him interviewed...he just can't help it, he cool, sexy, and seductive at 73. Definitely one of the Elder Statesmen of Rock, but really, he loves and listens to all types of music. If you like Zeppelin, you'll like Bad Company, particularly, a song called I'm Ready For Love.
I’ve been going to see Tom Jones live since 2010. He’s in magnificent voice and very charismatic. And yeah, he’s old enough to be my dad, but it doesn’t matter!
The reason this band is so good is because each member of the band was a musical genius. John Bonham was hands down the GOAT at drumming but he also did so many other things with the acoustics and sound when they recorded albums . One time he got them to record a song with his drum kit in the middle of a hallway because he liked the acoustics. Also Jimmy Page...... one of the greatest guitarists of all time not just for his playing of the instrument but for the sounds he incorporated into songs. He used a violin bow to play the guitar and it changed the entire sound . Pure geniuses!!!! Still love them to this day! So glad you got to see Moby Dick even if we couldn’t see the reaction😊
This band was the first known ‘Supergroup’ in the rock era. Each member, in their own right were phenoms. The music, not only complex to musicians, is still relevant and remains timeless. So glad you are truly enjoying them. For a treat, try “trampled under foot” for a touch of funk and groove.
Led Zeppelin were 4 master musicians. Bonzo already had his nickname before joining Zeppelin. Fun fact: Bonzo used to get kicked out of bands because he played too loud. Watch some of Jimmy's playing; when he's jamming, he closes his eyes while he plays and I swear he goes into another dimension where he becomes a conduit for the music. One of the many phenomenal things about Zep is they each had a variety of musical influences; some similar to each other, some not, which helped form their style and versatility and versatility was something not all bands had. I hope your daughter changes her mind - we need to convert more fans! lol
This album was recorded at a country estate that had a record studio in the barn. There was a black dog that used to hang around outside. When the band couldn't come up with a title for this song, they named it after the dog! :D
You are no different then any other Zep head.(only that your a tadpole) watching a newbie Being aww struck hearing their songs for the first time. Really brings me back to when I could not wait until a new record would be released. To hear everything for the very first time. Then playing that record over and over again for. Year. Waiting with eager anticipation to hear what the record would be like. Never was I disappointed. Even their last couple of records where they really went in a different direction.There was no mistaken it was Zep. The musicianship and creativity was always second to none. They could create masterpieces in any style of song. There are many great bands that were inspired by Zep. You just have to remember that it is easy to imitate and copy something that has been done before. But to be the first to compose such masterpieces.To be so creative and different that people did not know what to think. Jimmy Pages musical genius to explore and do things that have never been done before. That is the reason that Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of musicians ever. If you took 1 member out of the band it would not be the same.these 4 equally talented musicians were destined to be together. That’s why when Bonzo died in 1980 they broke up and could never continue as Led Zeppelin. Until Johns son Jason Bonham joined the band for a one concert show. Their music is timeless and never gets old
Wonderful synopsis Rick. We speak the same language. Sometimes the wait was long when Jimmy took his tiiiiime in the studio with post- production. I really dug that as a teenager, knowing Led Zeppelin poured more work into achieving perfection than anyone else. The results spoke for themselves. We were listening to history being made, and I KNEW that their cosmic creations would stand the test of time, that their work would still be celebrated 50 years into the future. Looks like I was right...we ALL were right! And I am so enjoying today's youth experiencing this magic for the 1st time in real time. It's kind of like looking into a mirror that can see 50 years into the past. Or when we'd go to a friend's parent's basement rec-room to blast our tunes as LOUD as we wanted! I actually bought IN THRU THE OUT DOOR on the very day of its release, summer of '79 methinks. That was exciting for me. Made me feel like I was part of history, one of the 1st to enjoy the new music from DAY 1! Cheers!🍒 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
@@kerryknight228 yes they were then and some 50 years later they still are. I will never forget that black September morning when we all herd the news of Bonzos death.I had paid for front row tickets for their 1980 North American tour. $100 in advance . Like in February 1980 ,from trip tickets in SD. It would have been my first Zeppelin concert. I stayed home from school and played every zeppelin album back to back with tears in my eyes. It was like my best friend died. I still feel a empty ness in my life since that day. Especially because I waited in1977 in line for tickets but they sold out. I was bummed then. That’s why I paid for guaranteed tickets. Well that was my first real lesson in life that nothing was guaranteed. Since that day I went to every midnight showing of TSRTS and to this day I still play that old vhs tape.greatest band then now and until the end of time
@@rickjohnson3580 We were absolutely gutted when we lost Bonzo. I felt the same loss, I think we all died a little that day. I never stopped listening to them and always thought it was such a shame that they might be forgotten. With these reaction channels discovering them anew it brings me some hope. I know it might sound weird, but this music was our lives and coursed through our blood.
This song is musical acrobatics. Strings playing one time signature and drums on another only meeting up every 20th beat. The focus and skill it takes to maintain conflicting time signature live is out of this world. The base player coined the term saying it created sort of a "stomp groove" from this song. They did it in Kashmir as well and add a certain tension to the songs that they do it.
This is such an unnoticed, and therefore under appreciated dynamic. Once one understands what is actually happening music structure wise, it's awe inspiring. The talent evaluation of the song goes off the charts.
Bonham was just an amazing drummer who I think over the years his status his grown even more. It's his musicality which stands above other drummers and the ability to work in with the other band members to make enhance a song and make it even better.
As being one of the Led Zeppelin generation , might I suggest another Supergroup "RUSH" Only 3 members but they sound like more! OH YEAH, Your going to love the drummer!!!
This track is called Black Dog as the recording studio was reputedly haunted by a black dog, in the old country mansion where it was built ! Bonzo is mouthing the power it takes to be a good drummer, Keith Moon of The Who used to do it. Drummers need to be strong, as drumming is like a toughest workout ever !
Love your reactions man. Wonderful that someone from this day and age appreciates good music. The holy trinity of British bands back then..Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
Let him work his way to that. I personally think Zeppelin is a band that you should listen to their albums in order. With them, it isn't just a bunch of songs, it's an Evolution... 🤯
@@mr.knowitall6440 agree 100% Working through their albums, from the rawness of the first two, then the change in direction of the 3rd to the more polished, sophisticated yet creative genius of the 4th and 5th etc only makes you appreciate their music even more because it is like a journey rather than just going back and forth.
Helene here: YES YOU ARE A ROCKER now.......if you love Zeppelin, you are, by definition, a rocker...since they were one of the greatest, if not the greatest rock band in history. Black Sabbath is the band that Ozzy fronted for awhile.....they were the daddies of heavy metal. Deep Purple was another top band of the seventies.......Pink Floyd.....Rush....the talent was huge and the bench of outstanding bands and musicians was VERY deep......dozens. Zeppelin has an aura of mystery about it....they were very private personally...few interviews...no TV appearances....which only added to the legend. I famous for excess and wild ways....some true, some not. But they were each at the very top of their skills...Page is a rock guitar god...played with such panache and showmanship; John Bonham most powerful drummer in rock and a force of nature; John Paul Jones was the quiet one, but was the multi-talented studio musician...keyboards, bass, mandolin...and then Robert Plant was the gorgeous cherry on top.....powerful voice, great interpreter of blues, dripping with sexual charisma.....the proverbial “golden god” that set the bar and the mold for so many rock frontmen who followed him. And yea....they got the chicks.
So what you were thinking of as a "key change", is just the "effect" of Jimmy's crazy phrasing when they play live. On their studio versions, there are always multiple guitar tracks "harmonizing" with each other. Since Jimmy refused to use another guitar player for live performances, he created special "arrangements" for playing live. I don't know how much of it is "arranged" beforehand, and how much is just Jimmy improvising, but he's basically harmonizing with himself... 🤨🔥👍
The term for changing key mid-song is called modulation. Without going too deep into music theory, if you look up the "circle of fifths" you will see all 12 musical notes laid out in two circles representing the common major and minor keys. When modulating, they switch to a key that's close on that circle.
there are few from around that time that just had all the swag. Plant (Zeppelin), Jagger (Rolling Stones), Morrison (Doors), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith). Then later, Coverdale (Whitesnake).
I know this was awhile ago but the drummer is classified as one if the best ever! He died in his sleep and the band never played again until his son played in a reunion in the 2000's. U should really do some research on him as there has never been another like him. He's called Bonzo because his name was John Bonham who always went by Bonzo! Love to see ur reactions to good old ROCK AND ROLL and some of the best there ever was!
The phrase you're searching for is Latin... sui generis. A thing unto itself. For Bonzo's drumming, but actually for all 4 of them, and together. You're learning, brother- nice reaction. Swag max. btw I had a pal once who used to say- while hanging his head- 'Women- you can't live with them... and you can't live with them.'
Give a listen to Four Sticks. It is what the title says. I got to see Bonzo's son in concert with his band and they played Zep songs. It was the closest I ever got to the real thing. Fabulous!!! FYI - In Heart's rendition of Stairway, it is Jason Bonham on the drums. ❤️
@@tinalinge9182 In 2013 Heart did a tour with Jason's band opening for them. Heart's entire second set was Zeppelin songs, with Jason on drums. It was awesome!
You know, my brother had ALL the Zeppelin albums when I was about 13, and the little bit that I heard just didn't speak to me at the time (although I did like the studio version of Stairway). I wasn't really listening to any other music at the time either. Through my teen years, the two albums that "struck my fancy" were "The Wall" by Pink Floyd, and "Night at the Opera" by Queen. However when I was 18 (1983), I "accidentally" wound up with a cassette of Zeppelin's first album. The band was no more, and people had generally moved on to whatever Hollywood and MTV were churning out at the time... the "hair bands". I put the tape on out of curiosity, having absolutely no clue what was on it... and my mind was blown! I had been performing music in high school, and had been exposed to many different traditional musical styles. When I heard Zeppelin, I was amazed at how their music embodied traditional styles, then injected it with music steroids! Anyway, the point is that something may not appeal to you at one point in life, but then you might "discover" it later in life. Once I discovered Zeppelin, I was ravenous for more! I can't recall listening to anything else for a few years... ROCK ON! Maybe in ten years your daughter will go "Oh my God, check out this band I "discovered". 😁 When Zeppelin released "How the West Was Won" (live stuff from 1972) in 2004, there were alot of high school and college age kids going "OMG, check out this new band!!" 🤣
I love your reactions to this band. I especially get a kick out of you explaining how incredibly special each member is. Dude, you are preaching to the choir. We KNOW. We have known for decades. I’m so glad you have discovered Led Zeppelin. I hope you take the opportunity to just LISTEN to them for your own enjoyment. Musical taste is subjective, but these are the Gods of Rock & Roll, the Fathers of Heavy Metal. Ramble on, my friend, ramble on ❤️😊
Hey, man like your channel. When you get a chance, no rush. You should definitely check out Stevie Ray Vaughan Couldn’t stand weather live 1985. I think you’re going to dig it
Lol! "Just listen!" My niece used to laugh at me for my love of rock, but she's older and listening to the same thing! Thanks for sharing! Love your enthusiasm.
I’ve just discovered you here on UA-cam. You are now my favorite reactor. I love your observations and appreciation for real talent and hard work and your attention to detail.
Haha been waiting on this one. My favorite Led Zep song 🤘 Oh and you need to tell the person who said you heard of them before that started this, They were right lol
They do it as a once in a generation band of consummate musicians who came together. No computers or auto tuning, just pure musicianship, masters of their instruments.
You are very observable boss. You know your music. They were the greatest band ever. I am 59 yes old and I got the pleasure to see them. I’ve been listen to them since I was 12 yrs old. Unfortunately the the drummer died in 1980 from excessive drinking right before they were to do a US tour. That was the saddest day in rock history. They were the first band to bring the delta blues rock and folk song together. They got there inspiration from American blues and jazz. There will never be another like them. They were out selling concerts at every city they went to on there 1st tour.But every comment you made about them you were right on.It’s good to see another generation enjoy them like we did back in the day.America made them famous and then there home country followed suite. Love the Zeppelin!!!
This is one CRAZY song. The riff came from the bass player, John Paul Jones. The timing is nuts - the drums are in 4/4 and the bass and guitar are in 5/4 and everything come right every 20 beats NUTS!! Such a great observation about Bonzo. I think you'll find the same thing with Page - the music is channeled through him as well yu can see it in his solos. Check out the performance at the 2007 reunion concert - they ROCKED it and had a great time doing so ua-cam.com/video/fpigDGf6vXM/v-deo.html ☮
great reaction.. its funny you say I am not that dude that listens to this type of music... but I love it. that's what music does for people, its not about what type of music you like, but rather about how music makes you feel. so enjoy the ride keep exploring and have a great time.
We gettin the LED out alright! Love to see younger folks find and appreciate real musicianship - Something that’s lacking today. Like all things, I expect it will come back again. Having fun watching you, man!
Back in the day you had the unholy trinity of British Rock, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple & Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin may have spoilt you for the others but try Deep Purple live, they were considered the best live band at the time. Love you reactions keep it up
I agree. Zep and Deep Purple were the best live bands of there day. Saw Purple in '73 I still compare every concert I attend to that one. Truly amazing! Check out there live Made in Japan album from 1972
Look for Page and Plant Unledded. There are live videos and the album is live. They did Kashmir and Since I've been loving you but remixed. I went to their concert in San Jose and EVERYHONE was on their feet for 2 hours and 45 mins. They play with a full orchestra and Egyptian musicians. Every single song on this album is insanely good.
When the Levee Breaks…You gotta listen 🎧 to that song period. Even if you can’t do a reaction video for it, it doesn’t matter. For your soul you have to listen to it.♥️ Zeppelin will change you, change the way you view the world, even change the way you view your own sexuality! All changes for the better!
If you like insane drumming and tempo changes check out Grand Funk Railroad going off in 1969 on Inside Looking Out live in front of a small studio audience. The energy, call and response between the harp solo and drummer, and the bass playing is epic. I wonder if this song has been sampled? From a time before auto tune when performers actually could play...
Here is an interesting fact, Kieth moon the drummer for the who when Jimmy Page was trying to think of a name for the band he was going to call them the new Yardbirds and kieth moon said you guys will take off like a lead balloon and that's where Led Zeppelin came from
If you listened to Moby Dick, don't miss Achilles last stand. I've never heard a bad LZ song. At 77 he still sounds incredible. Two of my underrated favorites are the Houses of the Holy ( song on the Physical Graffiti album) and Ocean
You may want to head over to Rick Beato's channel and go through some his stuff on Bonham and "what makes this song great" and a couple of other things. Beato has a great video on how When the Levee Breaks was recorded and you can figure out that drum beat, etc. Good stuff if you're into learning, and Beato does a banger job overall.
In case you didn’t realize it, John Paul Jones (the bass player) is the one who came up with this riff. He is their secret (and in my opinion, underrated) weapon.
JPJ is the absolute best, kills it with so many instruments.
He is the secret weapon when it comes to this group. Stays just insight on stage, creates that Zeppelin sound. What a group! What talented individuals!
AMEN!!
Without a doubt. He's quite the GENIUS.
I appreciate a male giving Robert Plant his due! No way you can dismiss his charisma and sex appeal, but he holds back enough not to overpower the music. There is always something that draws you to the bad boy musician, but no one comes close to Robert Plant.

Bonham was just an amazing drummer who I think over the years his status his grown even more. It's his musicality which stands above other drummers and the ability to work in with the other band members to make enhance a song and make it even better.
@@ivanhecimovic8397 100%... I don't think any one of them would've been as good on their own... the "magic" was in the 4 of them TOGETHER.
Great choice
Yeah he was!!!
As being one of the Led Zeppelin generation , might I suggest another Supergroup "RUSH" Only 3 members but they sound like more! OH YEAH, Your going to love the drummer!!!
This track is called Black Dog as the recording studio was reputedly haunted by a black dog, in the old country mansion where it was built ! Bonzo is mouthing the power it takes to be a good drummer, Keith Moon of The Who used to do it. Drummers need to be strong, as drumming is like a toughest workout ever !
LOL, we ladies still love Robert! First time my other half took me to see them I forgot he was even there and was mesmerized by Robert.
When the Levee breaks, you will love it.
YES!!!
It’s the drums that put it over the top.
Take the next step: Bring It On Home is a great song. Love the harmonica
Bring It On Home is an amazing song!!
A love how excited you get over Led Zeppelin, they are phenomenal.
Another great Led Zeppelin reaction! Keep em coming brotha!!
Love your reactions man. Wonderful that someone from this day and age appreciates good music. The holy trinity of British bands back then..Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
Deep Purple "Strange Kinda Women" 💜
Led Zeppelin was the SHOW! No opening or closing bands, just pure Led! 3hr show and 1hr encore!!! Known as the BEST ROCK & ROLL BAND EVER!!!
Achilles Last Stand will blow you mind bro
YESSS!!!!!
OMG yes please!
Let him work his way to that.
I personally think Zeppelin is a band that you should listen to their albums in order.
With them, it isn't just a bunch of songs, it's an Evolution... 🤯
@@mr.knowitall6440 agree 100%
Working through their albums, from the rawness of the first two, then the change in direction of the 3rd to the more polished, sophisticated yet creative genius of the 4th and 5th etc only makes you appreciate their music even more because it is like a journey rather than just going back and forth.
Helene here: YES YOU ARE A ROCKER now.......if you love Zeppelin, you are, by definition, a rocker...since they were one of the greatest, if not the greatest rock band in history. Black Sabbath is the band that Ozzy fronted for awhile.....they were the daddies of heavy metal. Deep Purple was another top band of the seventies.......Pink Floyd.....Rush....the talent was huge and the bench of outstanding bands and musicians was VERY deep......dozens.
Zeppelin has an aura of mystery about it....they were very private personally...few interviews...no TV appearances....which only added to the legend. I famous for excess and wild ways....some true, some not. But they were each at the very top of their skills...Page is a rock guitar god...played with such panache and showmanship; John Bonham most powerful drummer in rock and a force of nature; John Paul Jones was the quiet one, but was the multi-talented studio musician...keyboards, bass, mandolin...and then Robert Plant was the gorgeous cherry on top.....powerful voice, great interpreter of blues, dripping with sexual charisma.....the proverbial “golden god” that set the bar and the mold for so many rock frontmen who followed him. And yea....they got the chicks.
Hi Helene!!! We meet again. Hope you're doing well. Some great reactions here on this channel!!
Can we get a Lemon Song? It’s got the best bass line imo. The 2 johns take the show.
So what you were thinking of as a "key change", is just the "effect" of Jimmy's crazy phrasing when they play live.
On their studio versions, there are always multiple guitar tracks "harmonizing" with each other.
Since Jimmy refused to use another guitar player for live performances, he created special "arrangements" for playing live.
I don't know how much of it is "arranged" beforehand, and how much is just Jimmy improvising, but he's basically harmonizing with himself... 🤨🔥👍
I think its just an octave higher
Probably a combination of both. I do know that they never played a song exactly the same way twice. There was a lot of improvisation going on.
The term for changing key mid-song is called modulation. Without going too deep into music theory, if you look up the "circle of fifths" you will see all 12 musical notes laid out in two circles representing the common major and minor keys. When modulating, they switch to a key that's close on that circle.
“In My Time Of Dying” for sure!! It’s fire & the lyrics are deep 🔥🎸🎤🎶♥️
Bummed Moby was blocked but I knew you would love it💯
You get it..thanks for making it new to me again...fifty years later...
there are few from around that time that just had all the swag. Plant (Zeppelin), Jagger (Rolling Stones), Morrison (Doors), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith). Then later, Coverdale (Whitesnake).
But it started with Elvis! ❤️
Hendrix
Thinking since he's into Hip Hop he'd like the collaboration between Aerosmith and RunDMC (Walk this way) Quite a bit of Tyler swag in that video.
Mercury
Plant Page and Jones are all still around!
All still very active. 😊
@@tinalinge9182 only on occasions with Jason Bonham, John's son.
@@ronalda.saname396 yeah, I've seen his son play too
bonzo is power of zeppelin music !!!
I know this was awhile ago but the drummer is classified as one if the best ever! He died in his sleep and the band never played again until his son played in a reunion in the 2000's. U should really do some research on him as there has never been another like him. He's called Bonzo because his name was John Bonham who always went by Bonzo! Love to see ur reactions to good old ROCK AND ROLL and some of the best there ever was!
The phrase you're searching for is Latin... sui generis. A thing unto itself. For Bonzo's drumming, but actually for all 4 of them, and together. You're learning, brother- nice reaction. Swag max. btw I had a pal once who used to say- while hanging his head- 'Women- you can't live with them... and you can't live with them.'
I was thinking "Phenom" 😳
Give a listen to Four Sticks. It is what the title says. I got to see Bonzo's son in concert with his band and they played Zep songs. It was the closest I ever got to the real thing. Fabulous!!!
FYI - In Heart's rendition of Stairway, it is Jason Bonham on the drums. ❤️
@@tinalinge9182
In 2013 Heart did a tour with Jason's band opening for them.
Heart's entire second set was Zeppelin songs, with Jason on drums.
It was awesome!
I'm glad you watched Moby Dick. Epic drumming.
The drummer's a force of nature my friend!
Go to the concert Celebration Day✨I like Kashmir the best. You see Zeppelin in there 60’s & they still got it. Bozo son is playing the drums.🤘🏼🥁
You know, my brother had ALL the Zeppelin albums when I was about 13, and the little bit that I heard just didn't speak to me at the time (although I did like the studio version of Stairway). I wasn't really listening to any other music at the time either. Through my teen years, the two albums that "struck my fancy" were "The Wall" by Pink Floyd, and "Night at the Opera" by Queen.
However when I was 18 (1983), I "accidentally" wound up with a cassette of Zeppelin's first album.
The band was no more, and people had generally moved on to whatever Hollywood and MTV were churning out at the time... the "hair bands".
I put the tape on out of curiosity, having absolutely no clue what was on it... and my mind was blown!
I had been performing music in high school, and had been exposed to many different traditional musical styles. When I heard Zeppelin, I was amazed at how their music embodied traditional styles, then injected it with music steroids!
Anyway, the point is that something may not appeal to you at one point in life, but then you might "discover" it later in life.
Once I discovered Zeppelin, I was ravenous for more! I can't recall listening to anything else for a few years...
ROCK ON! Maybe in ten years your daughter will go "Oh my God, check out this band I "discovered". 😁
When Zeppelin released "How the West Was Won" (live stuff from 1972) in 2004, there were alot of high school and college age kids going "OMG, check out this new band!!" 🤣
Plant is known as the “Golden God” for a reason😉
Awesome to see someone enjoying their music for the first time.
Black dog is one of my Favorite Les Zep songs.
You were right on. The band was special. Each one was special, and together they were from that other universe.
All 4 of them........virtuoso's. Best band ever.
I love your reactions to this band. I especially get a kick out of you explaining how incredibly special each member is. Dude, you are preaching to the choir. We KNOW. We have known for decades. I’m so glad you have discovered Led Zeppelin. I hope you take the opportunity to just LISTEN to them for your own enjoyment. Musical taste is subjective, but these are the Gods of Rock & Roll, the Fathers of Heavy Metal. Ramble on, my friend, ramble on ❤️😊
Hey, man like your channel. When you get a chance, no rush. You should definitely check out Stevie Ray Vaughan Couldn’t stand weather live 1985. I think you’re going to dig it
I saw Led Zeppelin at the Forum in LA. Fabulous! They are iconic. That's the way we were back then...
Another Led head here (also a redhead, so I'm a redhead Ledhead!!)
Charisma, in buckets ...
Lol! "Just listen!" My niece used to laugh at me for my love of rock, but she's older and listening to the same thing! Thanks for sharing! Love your enthusiasm.
I 💜 your excitement!! You can't get better the Led Zeppelin. , 🤘
Love the commentary and I appreciate what you have to share man
Voodoo Child Stevie Ray Vaughan next please
Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!!!
Loved that you reacted to a song I suggested. There band is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These guys are from a different world, holy crap the talent of everyone in this band is out of this world.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 One of my favorites by far. Makes me jump up and let loose.
The greatest band ever, and forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zeppelin definitely has IT!
Robert Plant and Jim Morrison pushed boundaries and the sexuality they brought sizzled and the music took you out of your body.
Great reaction guy!
Love when you react to the goat homie cant wait to watch
Black Dog is my favorite Led Zeppelin song!
I’ve just discovered you here on UA-cam. You are now my favorite reactor. I love your observations and appreciation for real talent and hard work and your attention to detail.
Your enthusiasm is amazing , the energy you give off..love love watching you watching my favourite band...🙋♀️
Robert Plant singer
Get em jimmy
U talk about Heartbreakers, man u gotta do Heartbreaker
Haha been waiting on this one. My favorite Led Zep song 🤘
Oh and you need to tell the person who said you heard of them before that started this, They were right lol
The greatest band ever and ever will be case dismissed
They do it as a once in a generation band of consummate musicians who came together. No computers or auto tuning, just pure musicianship, masters of their instruments.
Man, I love this reaction... Led just naturally brings the hype energy out of you. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You shook me by led zeppelin best band ever!!!! Listen to it !
You are very observable boss. You know your music. They were the greatest band ever. I am 59 yes old and I got the pleasure to see them. I’ve been listen to them since I was 12 yrs old. Unfortunately the the drummer died in 1980 from excessive drinking right before they were to do a US tour. That was the saddest day in rock history. They were the first band to bring the delta blues rock and folk song together. They got there inspiration from American blues and jazz. There will never be another like them. They were out selling concerts at every city they went to on there 1st tour.But every comment you made about them you were right on.It’s good to see another generation enjoy them like we did back in the day.America made them famous and then there home country followed suite. Love the Zeppelin!!!
This is one CRAZY song. The riff came from the bass player, John Paul Jones. The timing is nuts - the drums are in 4/4 and the bass and guitar are in 5/4 and everything come right every 20 beats NUTS!! Such a great observation about Bonzo. I think you'll find the same thing with Page - the music is channeled through him as well yu can see it in his solos. Check out the performance at the 2007 reunion concert - they ROCKED it and had a great time doing so ua-cam.com/video/fpigDGf6vXM/v-deo.html ☮
great reaction.. its funny you say I am not that dude that listens to this type of music... but I love it.
that's what music does for people, its not about what type of music you like, but rather about how music makes you feel. so enjoy the ride keep exploring and have a great time.
We gettin the LED out alright! Love to see younger folks find and appreciate real musicianship - Something that’s lacking today. Like all things, I expect it will come back again. Having fun watching you, man!
Awesome reaction ty
Yes I love him madly since I was 12 , hes the most beautiful man I ever see , my , Rock God I bow to him
Back in the day you had the unholy trinity of British Rock, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple & Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin may have spoilt you for the others but try Deep Purple live, they were considered the best live band at the time.
Love you reactions keep it up
I agree. Zep and Deep Purple were the best live bands of there day. Saw Purple in '73 I still compare every concert I attend to that one. Truly amazing! Check out there live Made in Japan album from 1972
Look for Page and Plant Unledded. There are live videos and the album is live. They did Kashmir and Since I've been loving you but remixed. I went to their concert in San Jose and EVERYHONE was on their feet for 2 hours and 45 mins. They play with a full orchestra and Egyptian musicians. Every single song on this album is insanely good.
glad to see you have experienced the greatest soul band of all time
When the Levee Breaks…You gotta listen 🎧 to that song period. Even if you can’t do a reaction video for it, it doesn’t matter. For your soul you have to listen to it.♥️ Zeppelin will change you, change the way you view the world, even change the way you view your own sexuality! All changes for the better!
this band is the goat of rock en roll my dad always listen to this and got influence by him
It is my favourite led zeppelin reaction😘
ONE of my ALL TIME fav songs!!!😉💞✌💖💋💕🙏
Robert.Plant. Forever. 💖💖💖
I don't know if you'll like him as much, but back when Bonham was considered the best, Keith Moon of the Who was thought to be a close second.
How many more times ! Trust me 🔥🎧🥁🎸
Never heard this particular version..... it's 🔥🔥🔥!
I love Zep. 💘 I love drums. Pink Floyd has a drummer who can play bongos while drumming. They are both so talented I just want to see you enjoy both!
If you like insane drumming and tempo changes check out Grand Funk Railroad going off in 1969 on Inside Looking Out live in front of a small studio audience. The energy, call and response between the harp solo and drummer, and the bass playing is epic. I wonder if this song has been sampled? From a time before auto tune when performers actually could play...
Here is an interesting fact, Kieth moon the drummer for the who when Jimmy Page was trying to think of a name for the band he was going to call them the new Yardbirds and kieth moon said you guys will take off like a lead balloon and that's where Led Zeppelin came from
If you listened to Moby Dick, don't miss Achilles last stand. I've never heard a bad LZ song. At 77 he still sounds incredible. Two of my underrated favorites are the Houses of the Holy ( song on the Physical Graffiti album) and Ocean
Loved your reaction to this performance. 100% agree about Robert Plant’s swagger… he’s sexy AF. All your LZ reactions are awesome ❤
You are right. This entire band has it!
Led zeppelin holds the throne
I honestly don't think you will ever find a better, more exciting band than Led Zep
You cannot help but love this band. They were the greatest of our generation.
You may want to head over to Rick Beato's channel and go through some his stuff on Bonham and "what makes this song great" and a couple of other things. Beato has a great video on how When the Levee Breaks was recorded and you can figure out that drum beat, etc. Good stuff if you're into learning, and Beato does a banger job overall.
