My dad didn't disapprove of THIS song when he heard it blasting from my room. He did freak when he heard The Lemon Song though. "YOU'VE GOT LITTLE SISTERS LISTENING TO THAT FILTH!!!" Love you Dad. RIP
Lex hit the nail on the head. I was 8 years old when this album came out, but I didn't buy it until I was like 10 or something (about the time I really got into music.) My father didn't really care, but my mother absolutely despised Led Zeppelin. It seemed like the second I dropped the needle on the record, she'd come flying into the den, hollering, "Put on headphones or turn that crap down!" Needless to say, I had a killer set of headphones...
Same with my parents. Our stereo was in the den (I asked for my own for my room about 5 Christmases in a row and never got one) but I could only play my albums when they weren't home, or mine would yell, "Turn that noise DOWN!!" LOL!!
Got no problems like that. Born in 1977 and my parents were fans of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the krautrock scene. This is the kind of music we were listening at home. Went to see Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Neil Young with my dad. 😁
I was 19 when this album was released in January of 1969 in the United States. As was mentioned, the entire sound of this album was unheard of before. Still outstanding to this day.
Still one of the most raw Zeppelin tunes ever in my opinion. Lex is right. Not only was it hitting that hard but when this first came out no one had ever really heard anything like it. Simply Zeppelin at their best
no kidding. I have always felt that this was more or less punk before punk existed. it obviously wasn't called punk at the time but shit man, listen to any punk song and the similarities are there. incredibly groundbreaking and I couldn't imagine hearing something so unprecedented. what a time to grow up in it must have been!
Arguable the first true heavy metal song. These guys were pioneers: fast distorted guitar riff, shredding guitar solo, screaming vocals, pounding drums & bass guitar. In 1968, these guys were monsters on the music scene.
....I agree that was a big jump, but when the late-80s "extreme vocals" and Death Metal came in, that was a big jump as well.(one a LOT of people STILL haven't got over !) \m/ \m/
That's why the thrift stores will forever be filled with Engelbert Humperdinck, Jerry vale and 101 strings records, when that music crashed, it crashed hard circa 72
I agree. Music overall sadly got less experimental and more "commercialized and gimmicky" since. All because of the growing Corporate interest taking control of the music industry. Not to say there aren't a few bands / artists still able to go their own path.
Thx! Our parents absolutely did not approve! So we liked it even more! I’m the same with my kids! It’s generational but what it really stems from is familiarity with things. It usually takes a couple listens to start to like something new!
I start listening to Zeppelin in the mid-70s at that time my parents were in their 50s so they didn't listen to rock and roll, but the difference is that we the grown ups do listen to rock and roll, and most of the rock songs in my opinion for the past 30 years have sucked, might be great musicians, but the song writing has sucked.
I never had that problem. I went from hardcore funk, to early rap, to heavy metal, and eventually jazz. I never caught any flack. I remember my mom telling how she defended me when a Jehovah’s Witness saw my albums on the table and asked if I was a devil worshiper. I’m the same way with my son. We bond over music. I don’t like a lot of his music but I don’t trip.
I just want to compliment Brad for his way of interrupting songs. I know you have to do it to avoid getting blocked, and Brad does it way better than alot of other UA-cam reactors. Some reactors choose the worst times to interrupt songs. Brad always picks a good spot.
Just to add: One of the things I enjoy is that Brad will always rewind a little after the pause break to help reestablish the flow of the song. Many other reactors won't do this simple thing and I find it maddening why they wouldn't.
This song is clearly a precursor to punk and speed metal. Please folks, do Symptom of the Universe by Black Sabbath. I garantee you you're gonna love it.
Definitely has to be considered as a pre-Punk fore bearer. The High Energy, on all instruments. Simple 3 chord riff, E/D/A/D. Almost screaming from Plant. This is what happens when two studio musicians (Page, Jones) write a simple straightforward arrangement. The Guitar and Bass fills are legendary. IN 1968 this was as close to cocaine/speed on record that was around. "Ace Of Spades" was the next to match the overall energy in my opinion >>>>> ua-cam.com/video/3mbvWn1EY6g/v-deo.html
You're right. As much as the early British punks ( The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned) bad mouthed Zeppelin, you know this song influenced them. The vocals aren't punk, but the music sure is.
This was pretty much a new sound for the younger generation, not just the parents. Zep started off with a bang. Would love to be a fly on the wall just to see people's reactions when this album was released.
Their 2003 DVD collection shows this being played first time, it's black and white footage, the audience is sitting on the floor and their faces looked like they were scared of the band lol. The audience looked like " oh God, there's gonna be a riot, this is riot music" lol. It's not my imagination, the audience literally moves when Robert Plant comes near them
I'm 72 and my kids were born when I was in my mid thirties. I used to do a song recognition game listening to the radio while driving beginning when they were very young. At first everything was Led Zeppelin but they got real good at it very quickly Both are musicians and I like to think I helped them love and appreciate the wide range of music they were exposed to. It was fun doing it, too.
I was 13 when I first heard this song while visiting cousins in LA. It was a shock, the heavy guitars and singing, I didn't know what to think. A year later I couldn't enough of LZ, "time to get the Led out!". Glad Brad & Lex like it too with a fine reaction. Thanks guys.
Back in th eday, my parents didn't have beef with Led Zeppelin, but when my sister's Columbia House 13 for 1 cent order arrived and it had Ozzy Osborne's "Blizzard of Oz" and "Diary of a Mad Man" as well as AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" and "Back in Black" albums, they went crazy and it resulted in a very humiliating afternoon for my older sister invlving those albums, a hammer, and some VERY vocal pleas from my parents for god to forgive her. From the perspective of a younger brother with the sense to not get involved, it was hilarious...
Born in 1977 with parents listening to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. I remember the day I went to my very first concert (Guns N Roses when they were on MTV every 30 minutes). Went home and told to my parents "it was the most amazing evening of my life ! I want to work in the music business !". My dad was proud (he worked in a record store when i was a baby). My mom was disappointed. I saw it in her eyes. That's the day she realized I'll never become a lawyer or an architect but I'll spend the rest of my days with musicians. 😁 PS: I became roadie for bands, worked in a record store and for a major music festival in my country. Sorry, mom ! 😂
This is the first song I ever learned on guitar in 7th grade. E------D-A-D. I had a 19 year old guitar teacher that was in a band, it was so cool to finally be off the boring Mel Bay books with your grandparents music in it..
In 1969 my parents got me a record player plus Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 albums for Christmas. I spent all day with my head between the speakers. I have tinnitus in both of my ears to this day.
@@pulsarlights2825 It's the strumming and rhythm of the guitar that's like punk - the fast repetitive downstrokes on the guitar. Punk guitarist Johnny Ramone admitted being influenced by this song for his signature downstroke guitar style.
I was the youngest of 6 so my parents had already gone through the Zep stage,....but I do recall my Mum coming in and saying "what in the bloody hell is that?" when I was listening to "Big Balls" from AC/DC...It's about big parties Mom😜...🤣
When the Canadian group 'Gretta Van Fleet' gets COMPARED to 'Led Zeppelin', just f-ing let that sink in on it's OWN... WHAT the FUCK better COMPLIMENT can YOU get!? LOLLLLLLLL!
Lex appears to have a musical soul that understands how music impacted people across generations. Music of the mid 60's through the 70's were experimental on an extreme level that could only be rivaled if forgotten and rediscovered.
I'm loving your Led Zeppelin series. I'm near 60 and only started getting into them 6-7 years ago. I knew of them when I was a teenager but they didn't interest me at the time. THE song of theirs that I'm waiting for you to react to is The Battle of Evermore. It's brilliant
I just Love you Lex .. you are so open with your Thoughts on Music.. you have a great openness about all the music just like it's supposed to be.. keep doing to it on the Music sides.. 🎶 The Music Man Forever..
It’s not easy to understand how revolutionary this was at the time. It was a giant leap forward. The Beatles were supreme at the time, kinda clever and cute. Then comes this blues sledgehammer turning the tables upside down. Raw but complex.
I started listening to zeppelin in 1976, and most all the grown-ups thought the kids were crazy and wasting our time with this music, it was quite frustrating.
i was working as a cashier in a gas station in the 80s and had this on the radio when an older lady walked in. she said," you call that music?" i thought of a few choice things to say to her but i bit my tongue because i needed the job. now i'm about her age and YES I STILL CALL THIS MUSIC YOU ****! !
FROM THE EARLY 6O'S WITH "THE BEATLES" AND 1O YEARS TIME AT THE LATE 6O'S HERE COMES "LED ZEPPELIN" WITH A HUGE SOUND ABOUT TO CHANGE THE 7O'S FOREVER AND MAKE ROCK GO HEAVY TO START AND SPARK THE SOUND FOR FUTURE METAL TO BEGIN THEY OWE IT A LOT TO THIS BAND THEN "BLACK SABBATH" TOO
Back when music was part of a cultural revolution. Songs like this were truly groundbreaking back then. Always loved this song. Total banger. Jimmy and Robert are stellar on this track!!!😁😁
Talking about parents attitude towards this rock music... they would say "Hey, did you hear about that new restaurant/nightclub that opened up? A waiter dropped a tray of dishes and three couples got up to dance." That was the sentiment of the older generation towards rock music with all the drums and stuff.
This song was a nod to record company execs who wanted a single. Of 9 songs on the album, 5 were over 4 minutes long with "How Many More Times" clocking in at nearly 8 1/2 minutes. The song itself is good and fit the "under 3 minutes" requirement to get AM airplay.
This was from their first successful album and as you can imagine, they "exploded" on the scene with this song. I was a 20 year old music fan and it even took some time for me to get used to it.
From their epic first album!!. Every song they do is different. I was 15 when this album came out, my parents didn't mind at all and they grew up in the 40s.
It happens every few years. When Jazz was new people despised it. Back then there was only classical, country, sacred, and folk. By the 50’s Jazz (especially swing) as the standard of the day although be-bop was not as widely accepted. Then rock n roll came along and was very controversial. By the 60’s there was acid rock & psychedelic rock which would evolve into metal and it was scary. Suddenly 50’s rock was safe. In the 70’s disco came along and became the music everyone loved to hate. It the late 70’s rap came along and took almost 10 years to gain mass acceptance.
Yeah, ya definitely listed to it away from most parents... but dad bought an AWESOME suround sound quadraphonic back in the 70's and the family had an awesome album collection.I could rock out the playground behind our house. Might say I live D.J.ed at 8 years old. 😆
Funny you said about older people reacting to this song i had a old gezzer come to my car while guitar lead part was playing. He truly thought something was wrong with my fan belt..told me i should put some belt dressing on that belt. Its what he does when tractor makes that noise.. lol I said Yes sir i will do that..the car wasnt even running..lol He got back on his horse and road off. lol..
Lex your intuition is off the charts! All parents I knew hated this (and most Rock music) when it came out. For comparison of what my mother liked look up the Lawrence Welk TV show, Johnny Mathis & Bing Crosby. I heard my own Presbyterian Pastor tell the congregation people that listen to this are going straight to hell!
LOL, my dad loved blues and big band stuff and my mom didn't care for or hate anything music wise. It was just there in the background. So dad liked the more bluesy Zepp songs and would compare them to his music. But something like this song he wouldn't care for at all. But I wasn't shocking them because my much, much, much older brother and sister, had already introduced them to all the music I was just now discovering. I was about 9 when this came out but really didn't start listening to music seriously for another 5 years in H.S. By then, my bro and sister had played the records I had found left in their rooms so many times before, my parents knew the music better than I did.
Lex knows her shit! Yes this song and other Zeppelin songs that came out this year the adults hated it said it was crazy music! I know! I was 7 when this album came out! And it blew everybody away! Zeppelin change the music scene a lot of these songs are proto metal and even punk!
Songs like this needed a decent stereo to play it on, and when this came out is when I first started working, making my own money, and of course I had to take my time slowly building up my stereo that could knock the windows out, yet hear all the subtle nuisance hidden behind the wall of noise. I still have those speakers that could still shake our house. I was lucky, I had an older brother, much older, so he got into music, lots of albums, decent stereo, but he took his when he moved out.
My dad didn't disapprove of THIS song when he heard it blasting from my room. He did freak when he heard The Lemon Song though. "YOU'VE GOT LITTLE SISTERS LISTENING TO THAT FILTH!!!"
Love you Dad. RIP
Hang on, though. The lemon song was, is and will continue to be *actually* filthy.
If it's not upsetting parents it has ceased to do its job 😀
@@grahamstubbs4962 Yeah, you right!
So funny! Love it!
Makes me think of the movie Almost Famous when his big sister comes home with a Simon & Garfunkel LP.
"Look at their eyes ! They're on drugs !" 😂

Some Zeppelin songs sound better with headphones on anyways, just the way the sound moves to the left to the right sometimes.
Same with my parents. Our stereo was in the den (I asked for my own for my room about 5 Christmases in a row and never got one) but I could only play my albums when they weren't home, or mine would yell, "Turn that noise DOWN!!" LOL!!

You can say this song layed the seed for punk! So much attitude in this track
Actually it was the "Lemon Song" and "Whole Lotta Love" that freaked most parents out!! Thanks for sharing!!
The change in the style of music from the early 60s to the mid-70s has never been that extreme since.
....I agree that was a big jump, but when the late-80s "extreme vocals" and Death Metal came in, that was a big jump as well.(one a LOT of people STILL haven't got over !) \m/ \m/

Also... no long preamble before each video. Song, Artist, Let's Get into It.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but mine is this is the greatest band of all time and #2 (whomever that may be) is a very distant second.
Not an opinion
Simple fact
#1 by far for me…..The Stones second.😀
Imagine listening to this in the 60s? Incredible. Groundbreaking
Zepplin was my dad's favorite group. I literally grew up on them and they are my favorite band as well.
This song is clearly a precursor to punk and speed metal.

“What the HELL is that noise ! Turn that crap off !! “

A strong song from their first album, and a good sign of things to come.
Bonzo's rim-shot makes the whole song for me.
I can't name too many songs that have a rim shot that's like a beat drop. Brilliant.
From the very first Led Zeppelin album.. still valid 54 years later..
My Mother (1929 - 1999) didn't care for this one but I sat her down and dropped the needle on Stairway To Heaven. Needless to say, she was impressed.
I just Love you Lex .. you are so open with your Thoughts on Music.. you have a great openness about all the music just like it's supposed to be.. keep doing to it on the Music sides.. 🎶 The Music Man Forever..

Robert Plant and Allison Krauss are currently on tour, check out their song called CAN'T LET GO 🎸🎸
Rock out Lady Lex ❗🎵.Yes this was a hot jam when it first came out.
I haven't listened to Zep in awhile so I'm glad I tuned in this morning.
It happens every few years. When Jazz was new people despised it. Back then there was only classical, country, sacred, and folk. By the 50’s Jazz (especially swing) as the standard of the day although be-bop was not as widely accepted. Then rock n roll came along and was very controversial. By the 60’s there was acid rock & psychedelic rock which would evolve into metal and it was scary. Suddenly 50’s rock was safe. In the 70’s disco came along and became the music everyone loved to hate. It the late 70’s rap came along and took almost 10 years to gain mass acceptance.
this song makes me wanna do burnouts, just lay rubber from one light to the other. Rock on Brad & Lex
This is their first song that I got "really" down with cos I didn't think of albums as ALBUMS and I was only used to Beatles-length songs
When this came out my parents were listening to Lawrence Welk and Perry Como.
Yes yes yes!!!! Great job wow- the has always made me wanna tear shit up
One of my favorites
This was mind blowing stuff back in the day.
That solo is pure ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
Anothet great song From the era, band called Love - 7 and 7 Is. That Is like pre-punk or inspired all genres after.
My dad screamed turn that racket off! lol 😂
Yeah, ya definitely listed to it away from most parents... but dad bought an AWESOME suround sound quadraphonic back in the 70's and the family had an awesome album collection.I could rock out the playground behind our house.
Might say I live D.J.ed at 8 years old. 😆
Funny you said about older people reacting to this song i had a old gezzer come to my car while guitar lead part was playing. He truly thought something was wrong with my fan belt..told me i should put some belt dressing on that belt. Its what he does when tractor makes that noise.. lol I said Yes sir i will do that..the car wasnt even running..lol He got back on his horse and road off. lol..
1968 this came out, I can tell you that listening to this even in the early 80s my dad was like SON WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?!
When my daughters were teenagers, I played Led Zeppelin for them and they had a similar reaction!
1969
Lex your intuition is off the charts! All parents I knew hated this (and most Rock music) when it came out. For comparison of what my mother liked look up the Lawrence Welk TV show, Johnny Mathis & Bing Crosby. I heard my own Presbyterian Pastor tell the congregation people that listen to this are going straight to hell!
Hell yeah. You guys are letting the led out!!
I love watching Lex get into the groove :)
LOL, my dad loved blues and big band stuff and my mom didn't care for or hate anything music wise. It was just there in the background. So dad liked the more bluesy Zepp songs and would compare them to his music. But something like this song he wouldn't care for at all. But I wasn't shocking them because my much, much, much older brother and sister, had already introduced them to all the music I was just now discovering. I was about 9 when this came out but really didn't start listening to music seriously for another 5 years in H.S. By then, my bro and sister had played the records I had found left in their rooms so many times before, my parents knew the music better than I did.
Lex is so right on....our parents hated ! HATED it! !
traveling riverside blues
60's and 70's kids, our parents were the same age as our rockers.
Lex knows her shit! Yes this song and other Zeppelin songs that came out this year the adults hated it said it was crazy music! I know! I was 7 when this album came out! And it blew everybody away! Zeppelin change the music scene a lot of these songs are proto metal and even punk!
I won this album on a campus radio station contest at Case Western Reserve University in 1968.
Maybe the best album ever cut. Rounding out the top five, "Blind Faith", Led Zeppelin III", "The Doors", "Bob Dylan" (first album)!
Songs like this needed a decent stereo to play it on, and when this came out is when I first started working, making my own money, and of course I had to take my time slowly building up my stereo that could knock the windows out, yet hear all the subtle nuisance hidden behind the wall of noise. I still have those speakers that could still shake our house. I was lucky, I had an older brother, much older, so he got into music, lots of albums, decent stereo, but he took his when he moved out.
