I wish I could agree, but that's, unfortunately, not true. We all share the most basic things, the most basic human qualities and necessities, but the way we go about them can drive us in totally different directions to the point of incompatibility.
This reaction is proof. Not only are these tribesmen but they are (relatively) old and they listened to this young person's music with enjoyment and appreciation. We have more in common than we have dividing us. *I wish more people could remember that more of the time.*
Yes Jimmy Page is just turned 80 the respondents arn't quite that old but Page and Plant spent quite a bit of time in the area in the early 70's look up the Bombay symphony arrangements @@BenjWarrant
First time I heard it back in '71 I HATED it. It took several listens for me before it jelled, like many of their songs. I was used tot the simple I IV V chord, 2 1/2 min, ABA form pop music.
@@MrJohnnyDistortion I actually loved Zep from day one but it was a few with the 'odder' , at the time, songs that just took a little getting used to. I grew up on the Beatles and the Stones, went through it with some of their songs as well. Plants voice took a little gettin' used to also, as he once said 'I'm no Tom Jones'. I will never forget listening to IV at my best friends house and his father walked in the door, returning home from work. 'Stairway' was half done and his dad stuck his head in the room and said 'Whats the matter with that sick cow ?'' I kept listening though trusting that it would eventually all come together. I scoured every record shop in the NYC area looking for 'Hey Hey ,...', my favorite of theirs at the time but nothing had prepared me for 'Stairway...'.What was so great about those days is, and I feel bad for the younger people who can not experience it, is that NO ONE on this planet had ever heard the sounds we were hearing from these bands !! They simply did not exist prior to then !! From Dave Davies fuzzy tone (slit speaker) to Keiths 'fuzz tone', to the wah wah of Hendrix and Clapton, prior to the mid 60s, a guitar just sounded like a guitar pretty much although Chuck Berry ... well thats a whole 'nother story for another day.
It's refreshing, I remember in 96' tellin Jessica Yersky about a riff I heard from a band called AIC, She just disregarded it like it was your average ace of bass players.
You know, I am a Native American Indian and when I was 18 I asked my tribal elder who who’s about 100 years old what he remembered about his elders when he was my age, and he said, he remembered the old ones never believed in the devil, he said there was no such thing, but he says they believe when you die, the milky way is the stairway to heaven
If this reaction doesn’t highlight the timelessness & universality of this song, I don’t know what could. They’re loving a song from another continent, another culture, and another time, and they connect with it, appreciate it and love it immediately.
@@TRYBALS the end by the doors would be a good one to react to especially it's themed with middle eastern melodies fused with psychedelia, and the mysterious lyrics... it's gonna be an awesome one!
These guys are from a world absolutely foreign to most people watching this, and our world is quite foreign to them, and yet even without them getting the lyrics yet, they can still pick out the feeling of the music. They are incredibly wise and I love hearing their thoughts on the songs.
BTW, they might know Imrat Ustad Kahn. He is a famous sitar player whom I admired for 30 years, even as a random California dude. The appreciation _is_ a two way street, despite cultural differences!
And he still preferred the guitar. Understandably so. Stairway doesn’t feature Bonham in the same way that some of their other songs do. This song builds and builds. But with the majority of emotion and power coming from Roberts vocals and Jimmy’s guitar. Whereas the majority of zeppelin songs driving force is supplied by John Paul & Bonham. What an epic band And how awesome is it that these guys recognize that with their very first listen. Roberts vocals John Paul & Bonhams powerful driving force. Jimmys guitar. All of them at the top of their game, providing us with such an awesome library of music. We are all blessed for having been able to hear and enjoy them. Watching these guys, in essence, worship to zeppelin music was awesome. I feel I have something in common with them in that way.
@@extremepancakerat I started playing the drums in 1978 at 10 years old. John Bonham, and Stuart Copeland, of the police, were (and still are) a couple of my favorite drummers. You absolutely must listen to Moby Dick. There are several versions of it live but even the recorded version on their LP absolutely blew my mind. Good times Bad times is another song that’s driven by John Paul and Bonham. I love listening to his foot in the bass drum in that one with head phones on. Immigrant song, Bonham is kicking it right from the get go. I remember reading science fiction as a kid while listening to zeppelin. This song reminds me of those times. Killer driving force in that song When the levee breaks is another great Bonham featured song right from the beginning but a bit more laid back with a deep pocket funky beat. Speaking of, if you like a nice funky groove check out The Crunge. Not everyone loves that one, but man do I love it Achilles last Stand is another strong driving force song that again has Bonham leading the way. Another funky one is Trampled Under Foot. Great tune Also check out, Rock and Roll, The Ocean, How Many More Times, Fool in the Rain & the snare fill in In My Time Of Dying are an absolute pleasure to listen too. Enjoy. Their whole library is fantastic. Check out The Police too and give Stuart Copeland a listen. Totally different style but so solid and fantastic. I miss hearing these songs for the first time Enjoy
@@extremepancakeratWhen the levee breaks , it's actually a cover of a blues song but zeppelin transformed it into something magical mainly because of bonham's unique drumbeat. Fool in the rain is also a great example of bonham's genius And a tricky one might be Rock and Roll's drum pattern which has confused some of the greatest drummers of all time.Kashmir such a badass song and finally Moby Dick bonham's drum solo takes you into another world . I could go on and on but these are some of the more iconic ones
Yes, more open minded than typical middle aged men when they hear music they are unfamiliar with. Most of them just go on about it not being proper music, like it was back in my day! That is the way of the world, too.
We are all just hairless apes winging it. And all of us are humans like any other, some have cultures that attempt to make us more close minded, but anyone can overcome that and appreciate things like any other.
What a fantastic reaction. I love how these guys are so insighful about music and the emotion behind it. I bet Robert Plant and Jimmy Page would love this.
I hope they do...maybe someone who watches this can figure out how to send it to them...I'm sure they...including John Paul Jones (who wasn't mentioned really...lol...the price one pays for privacy I suppose) would all enjoy seeing this appreciation for their music from people other than Westerners...especially for the first time. Amazing really...when we think back at our original reaction to this tune...for me it was back in the 70s and watching these guys reminds me of how I felt about it.
If it’s true what Plant said about it’s core meaning, then it’s basically Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The book, not the movie. We never know if she reaches her idea of heaven, but she unintentionally leaves a trail of broken hearts behind who miss her badly. “There walks a lady we all know.” And the story is filled with stairs! Hmm… Plant was a big reader after all, and he loved obscuring simple things with epic figurative poetry. Check it out if you haven’t. It’s such a simple, beautiful and quick read. Something to ponder.
Sufi Muslims have a form of music called quwali which is also very stirring, can be very loud as well,so I’m not surprised these guys appreciate led zeppelin. Plant,page,and jones would be amused.
It is amazing to notice how open-minded and non-judgemental these men are. In the 1970s, older Westerners were filled with prejudices towards long-haired musicians.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Abdul is probably the most kind hearted, open minded, observant and wise men I've ever had the privilege to listen to!!
I agree. Whilst the younger men may be more world-wise, the wisdom of his age shines through! I could happily be stranded on a desert island with him (and Adnan as translator or it would take us too long to learn how to understand each other past the basics lol)
Your good deeds are merely proof you're going to heaven, as it takes a pure heart to choose good in a fallen world; however, Yeshua/Jesus alone, built the stairway for those who wish to walk it with him. The choice is ours as we were blessed with free will and the price for our sins/transgressions has already been paid. All we need to do is acknowledge what He did and give Him our hearts. He loves us as our creator, whether we produce good or rotten fruit. Be well.
@@jlrolling That's why this message is coming, so they won't go to hell, everyone will hear about Jesus belive in Jesus and you will be saved from hell
They all bar Robert Plant were session musicians before creating Led Zep, pretty much every hit record by anyone recorded in the mid to late 60s had Jimmy Page as an uncredited guitarist.
One of the really cool things is you will see each family having their own style. Everyone in the family has the same theme and it's just their own. It's so colorful and beautiful
Wow, I've listened to this song for decades and never got as much from it as listening to these men talk about it. Much respect gentlemen, you are truly wise.
I don't know about that. Compared to the crap the music industry puts out today in the U.S. their music might be comparable to Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, or the Grateful Dead.
I doubt that. If people actually listened to the music to get an honest opinion of it, i think many would like it. Music comes in many forms. Westerners have accepted and like classical music
This is the most fascinating reaction video that I have ever heard. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band. To hear these wise and intelligent men interpret Stairway to Heaven, it was a moment in time that I will always remember. Music is universal. Thank you so much for recording this video and sharing it with us. ♥️
I’m right there with you, on all counts! I truly admire these earnest gentlemen and Zepp’s my favorite forever. (Maybe don’t tell them about Jimmy’s particular hobbies though 😬, I fear it would ruin everything for them-they ascribed such God-given nobility to him 😬😬) Best, brother.
When the man mentioned snake charmer music it was very perceptive. You can hear a middle eastern influence, and at one point Jimmy gives off the appearance of a snake being hypnotized by his own guitar. Most likely additional reasons he was in such a good mood.
I think he was hypnotised by the heroin he was on at the time lol. He looked wasted, and it's one of his sloppiest performances. Bonham was awesome though.
Wonderful, thank you all. I have been hearing this music most of my life & now at 73 feel so privileged to have lived with such beauty. As Abdul says "I loved it from the bottom of my heart." With Love & Light.
These are wise elderly people listening to the great masterpiece of all time and I can conclude that they have insatiable thirst for good music. I love the way they interpreted the lyrics, energy and the emotion of the song. Salute to the person who conveyed this song to these gentlemen.
Music is the one and only internationally spoken language. These absolute gentlemen, with open arms, open minds, humility and innate intuition, truly made me smile and warmed my heart. I salute them! 👍
They are so much more in touch with their own feelings, AND how others feel, and what impacts others. I love that about all of them. No bravado, just honest insight. And that’s a most manly thing right there.
Jeez, the one guy noticed immediately there were no drums. I listened to this song for 30 years before I realized that the drums came in much later. Observant!
Agreed! This was fantastic. Seeing and hearing music through new eyes and ears is fascinating, and it brings a whole new level of appreciation to see people from other cultures feel the same things we feel and think. Transcendant! Big props to those who put this together.
Wow, as a (amateur) performer myself, these gentlemen have taught me more about this fantastic song than I ever knew. I really am impressed with their appreciation of the effort and team spirit of the band. Music truly unites us all, like love.
This was just fascinating hearing these men from a totally different culture interpret the music and lyrics. I mean, what a great idea for a reaction video. So insightful and intriguing.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to our Western rock and roll music with such open minds and open hearts. Rock and roll is the native music of my country America, and it is very important to me close to my heart. It does honor to our music for you to consider it with such depth and sensitivity. God bless!
Music is such a universal language. It is felt at a spiritual level, in the soul, and brings such emotion and inspiration. I love that it allows for these meaningful connections and discussions ❤
It's refreshing to hear thoughtful, genuine insights into music. A step above many other music reaction channels. It's wonderful that music is appreciated around the world, isn't it? Thanks, Gentlemen.
Not very insightful. They thought a double guitar was a strange difficult instrument to play rather than two independent instruments attached to each other. They went on and on about how much effort page must be putting in while Bonham was playing. I don't begrudge their ignorance but it is certainly there.
DAYUM!!!!!! The education these gentlemen give, and that is EXACTLY what they are, in open mindedness, in appreciation & in tolerance of something completely different is beyond inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing.
@TRYBALS I sadly never knew my first grandfather and the second one died when I was about 10 but he was wise like Abdul, knew several African languages and worked alongside his men in the mines. He didn't act like their boss. Going several miles down into the deepest goldmines in the world has got to be one of the most terrifying and hardest jobs in the world. You had to be a team down there. Abdul reminds me of him. If a youngster said something foolish in front of him, he didn't laugh or even try to correct them. He knew they would learn eventually. However if someone asked him to teach them something, he was always happy to do so.
This brought tears of immense joy to my eyes. Their reaction to a different culture, time and country. Its just amazing proof what type of great and kind ppl they are. This also shows how genius Page is. His masterpiece guitar solo if you will, its absolutely timeless, flawless, universal and immortal! Now show to them Kashmir... 😅 Thank you so much for kindness and efforts to show not only the greatest band of all time but also for showing how cool and intelligent and very educated they are (the tribesmen) Ive a very hard day, as this year have been extremely hard on me .... but today after seeing this ... l cant explain but l feel really good... wish y’all a lot piece and success!!🎉
This is by far my favorite one of these reactions and Led Zeppelin are my favorite band. It's amazing to see the appreciation for music transcending culture and language.
Double like... the elders' comments were incredibly perspicacious. Thank you. As a long time Led fan, this video explores the many layers of poetic meaning in "Stairway to Heaven." He reacts: "you can't buy a stairway to heaven, only good deeds will get you there!" He really lives that and it resonates in his words. Good deeds, indeed! This is a video well worth watching. Fascinating.🙃
I am from Serbia. 🇷🇸 Love your reaction on reaction on "Stairway to Heaven". There is so much more to learn from this iconic Led Zeppelin's song, and i learned. Thank you.
Love this! I'm 53 and have been opening my mind to music that I would not have even considered 10-20 years ago. I never thought I would appreciate Japanese metal, but I do now. Same with African tribal drum music. The power of the drums gives life to the music. Music is universal!
Unique cross of cultures. I love hearing what the Tribe thinks. I didn’t think they would understand - and in fact it is I who didn’t understand it. This is a marvelous experiment. I grew up with this song and didn’t understand a bit of it! Fantastic❣️
An awesome song to show to our dear friends. It's quite abstract, and you guys have a way to read through these kind of lyrics and draw interesting conclusions. Also, glad to see Chacha is better! My regards to you all
great reaction! the end where he said "has we wind on down the road our shadows taller than our souls" to mean that as we wind down the road of life our past is longer than our future. we are getting old and closer to the end. the next section is back to the lady who is realizing materialistic pursuits are meaningless. "to be a rock and not to roll" stand firm for your beliefs and don't fall into temptation
These faithful gentlemen have enabled me to listen to a song that has been a part of my life for 50 years in a much deeper and more meaningful way than I have before! Shukran gentlemen!
What an interesting and insightful interpretation of Zeppelin’s most famous song. They are mature enough and opened eyed enough to be able to feel the music. It really proves the adage that music crosses all boundaries and borders. Fantastic piece here!
So much wisdom whether or not they were well educated. With everyone seeming to be scripted and camera prepped these days, the real reactions of these men to this artwork were priceless! Thank you for sharing this!
Whenever I listen to Led Zeppelin I am thinking "This is how they sang and told stories back in the 1700 if they would have electric guitars and amps" Such a fitting song and video for these humble men to listen to. Also I 100% agree with the comment about Kashmir. These men would get a kick out of listening to that. Bless you all and Thank you for sharing these videos.
@@whispersmith I have not. But now I feel like I have to. Thanks for sharing it. Bedtime in a few minutes here, so I will try to find it later today on youtube or otherwise and let you know what I think. Stay safe and Thank You for the reply.

This is go wonderful! I love these guys. I'm glad that music can help bring us together! I bet Jimmy would be honored and enjoy jamming with their musicians. This is what the internet should be about. Bravo to everyone who was involven in this concept and video!

- Actually the other three are still alive.
- I see, may God give them long healthy life.
Love how gentle they are to anyone.
"I can only speak what my mind can grasp." is so humble and wise at the same time.
Its such a rare thing in the west, I suppose everywhere.

Barely related, but 'KSHMR - Jammu' is a beautiful video clip portraying a rural Mid-Asian country plagued by terrorism.

these cats are admirable, i feel it is true and see in a new light. thanks for share.
I liked it when the one guy blessed the rest of the band with long life after only just being told about them.
"How can one buy something to reach heaven? You need good deeds and you're automatically there"
Nailed it.
Jesus is the only way to heaven. Find Jesus, find peace. God bless!
Your good deeds are merely proof you're going to heaven, as it takes a pure heart to choose good in a fallen world; however, Yeshua/Jesus alone, built the stairway for those who wish to walk it with him. The choice is ours as we were blessed with free will and the price for our sins/transgressions has already been paid. All we need to do is acknowledge what He did and give Him our hearts. He loves us as our creator, whether we produce good or rotten fruit. Be well.
@@yolt6974so basically you are saying every person in the video is going to hell. Please keep your god to yourself.
I think the song is about a drug deal. But this is just my opinion.
@@jlrolling That's why this message is coming, so they won't go to hell, everyone will hear about Jesus belive in Jesus and you will be saved from hell
I love when they said about Jimmys guitar..that he has a tough job.
Very tough for sure lmao
To say the least
They all bar Robert Plant were session musicians before creating Led Zep, pretty much every hit record by anyone recorded in the mid to late 60s had Jimmy Page as an uncredited guitarist.
@@shamteal8614thats a major stretch of reality
@@Sunkenballs12 Suggest you do a bit of research into British music of the period, you might learn something.
@@gregmccarter5253 Least tough job in the band.
Abdul "If someone can play two guitars at the same time, then he is an Ustad for sure." 💯
Ustaz Jimmy Page!
😂❤❤❤
The clothes the tribal guys wear is really awesome. Like, the actual fabric is great.
Yeah, they dont wear polyester
One of the really cool things is you will see each family having their own style. Everyone in the family has the same theme and it's just their own. It's so colorful and beautiful
All look comfortable too…
Wow, I've listened to this song for decades and never got as much from it as listening to these men talk about it. Much respect gentlemen, you are truly wise.
Anyone else watching this feel a spiritual connection to Abdul while watching his eyes as he's taking in the music? Then to hear his comments...💗
I doubt that many of us would be so accepting, wise, and insightful if we listened to their music.
I don't know about that. Compared to the crap the music industry puts out today in the U.S. their music might be comparable to Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, or the Grateful Dead.
I doubt that. If people actually listened to the music to get an honest opinion of it, i think many would like it. Music comes in many forms. Westerners have accepted and like classical music
It illustrates the abilities of any person to relate to unusual things. You don’t need to be a Cambridge scholar. Kudos to these gentlemen.
absolutely. I just wrote a similar comment.
the language barrier is the biggest problem, plenty of americans listen to Bad Bunny no problem tho
These videos show humanity. The people commenting are amazing
Thank you so much
This is the most fascinating reaction video that I have ever heard. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band. To hear these wise and intelligent men interpret Stairway to Heaven, it was a moment in time that I will always remember. Music is universal. Thank you so much for recording this video and sharing it with us. ♥️
My thoughts exactly.
You got it, 'music 'is' universal'.
I liked how their impressions and observations were far deeper and much more elucidated in comparison to most people in the western world.
@@davidhornbeckmusic7487 To be fair, most people in the western world are baked when they listen to this.
I’m right there with you, on all counts! I truly admire these earnest gentlemen and Zepp’s my favorite forever. (Maybe don’t tell them about Jimmy’s particular hobbies though 😬, I fear it would ruin everything for them-they ascribed such God-given nobility to him 😬😬) Best, brother.
The first reaction video i have seen that is actually worth sitting all the way through, well done gentlemen.
Amazing.... Guru with the yellow turban his perception is unparalleled..... Truly he can see the unseen... Hear the unspoken... Respect🙏🏻
Maybe the most interesting and eye opening reaction I've ever seen. Music is the universal language
this is what will happen in thousand years when humans from another planet will discover the song.
When the man mentioned snake charmer music it was very perceptive. You can hear a middle eastern influence, and at one point Jimmy gives off the appearance of a snake being hypnotized by his own guitar. Most likely additional reasons he was in such a good mood.
I think he was hypnotised by the heroin he was on at the time lol. He looked wasted, and it's one of his sloppiest performances. Bonham was awesome though.
When an instrument becomes an extension of one's mind, it is truly amazing. I was never graced with the capability.
Big part is just building up that muscle memory
It's just like learning a language. The desire to express your feelings.
Thank you Adnan, your guests-the three exceptional beings, and all those wonderful comments. ❤❤❤
Thank you mam, nothing more brings my heart the joy when someone appreciates my efforts, be willing to listen to our thoughts.
"Your stairway won't be able to support you" 😊 that one made me smile. Hes right. That's actually pretty deep.
Wonderful, thank you all. I have been hearing this music most of my life & now at 73 feel so privileged to have lived with such beauty. As Abdul says "I loved it from the bottom of my heart." With Love & Light.
Right? I will be 70 this year and I love to tell people that we had the BEST music. So much talent.
These are wise elderly people listening to the great masterpiece of all time and I can conclude that they have insatiable thirst for good music. I love the way they interpreted the lyrics, energy and the emotion of the song. Salute to the person who conveyed this song to these gentlemen.
Music is the one and only internationally spoken language. These absolute gentlemen, with open arms, open minds, humility and innate intuition, truly made me smile and warmed my heart. I salute them! 👍
They are so much more in touch with their own feelings, AND how others feel, and what impacts others. I love that about all of them. No bravado, just honest insight. And that’s a most manly thing right there.
Jeez, the one guy noticed immediately there were no drums. I listened to this song for 30 years before I realized that the drums came in much later. Observant!
one of the best reactions ever recorded, thanks so much
Wow, thank you!
Agreed! This was fantastic. Seeing and hearing music through new eyes and ears is fascinating, and it brings a whole new level of appreciation to see people from other cultures feel the same things we feel and think. Transcendant! Big props to those who put this together.
Wow, as a (amateur) performer myself, these gentlemen have taught me more about this fantastic song than I ever knew. I really am impressed with their appreciation of the effort and team spirit of the band. Music truly unites us all, like love.
Your videos are a celebration of humanity. It's wonderful to see "my" culture from the perspective of others.
This was just fascinating hearing these men from a totally different culture interpret the music and lyrics. I mean, what a great idea for a reaction video. So insightful and intriguing.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to our Western rock and roll music with such open minds and open hearts. Rock and roll is the native music of my country America, and it is very important to me close to my heart. It does honor to our music for you to consider it with such depth and sensitivity. God bless!
i would have loved to see their reaction after explaining the double meaning of the words rock and roll
Music is such a universal language. It is felt at a spiritual level, in the soul, and brings such emotion and inspiration. I love that it allows for these meaningful connections and discussions ❤
It's refreshing to hear thoughtful, genuine insights into music. A step above many other music reaction channels. It's wonderful that music is appreciated around the world, isn't it? Thanks, Gentlemen.
Thank you, your comment really is like an honor for me to carry on this work. Lots of love 🤗❤️🌹
Not very insightful. They thought a double guitar was a strange difficult instrument to play rather than two independent instruments attached to each other. They went on and on about how much effort page must be putting in while Bonham was playing. I don't begrudge their ignorance but it is certainly there.
Just when I think I couldn't love these people any more, I'm in tears. ❤
As a musician,,this is the coolest, remember the first time u heard music ,that blew u away .still to this day
Yes Jimmy is indeed a genie on that guitar.
A genie in the recording studio.
Don't let these guys hear that, the Djinni are considered evil.
I've been admiring his guitar work since 1977 and I've never heard of anyone calling Mr. Page a "genie on guitar." Good idea sir.👍
"Genie" is also German for "genius". With emphasis on the second syllable.
@@javanautski 'Geni' in Swedish, likely pronounced about the same as in German ^^
DAYUM!!!!!! The education these gentlemen give, and that is EXACTLY what they are, in open mindedness, in appreciation & in tolerance of something completely different is beyond inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Such insightful men - the best analysis of Led Zeppelin I’ve ever encountered. From across cultures, they peer into the soul of the band. ❤
Music can bring us all together. No matter place in the world, age, or gender. Love this!
beautiful reaction. beautiful peple, beautiful song.
thank you so much!
I love seeing you all
Abdul is so perceptive and a fine judge of all situations
I wish I was a family member of his!
I'm so lucky to have him as my third grandpa, and he's better than my real ones
@@TRYBALS he reminds me of my grandfather, he taught me religion and is a very wise man. i love that wisdom knows no boarders
@TRYBALS I sadly never knew my first grandfather and the second one died when I was about 10 but he was wise like Abdul, knew several African languages and worked alongside his men in the mines. He didn't act like their boss. Going several miles down into the deepest goldmines in the world has got to be one of the most terrifying and hardest jobs in the world. You had to be a team down there. Abdul reminds me of him. If a youngster said something foolish in front of him, he didn't laugh or even try to correct them. He knew they would learn eventually. However if someone asked him to teach them something, he was always happy to do so.
You are! We are all part of the human family!
This brought tears of immense joy to my eyes. Their reaction to a different culture, time and country. Its just amazing proof what type of great and kind ppl they are. This also shows how genius Page is. His masterpiece guitar solo if you will, its absolutely timeless, flawless, universal and immortal!
Now show to them Kashmir...
😅
Thank you so much for kindness and efforts to show not only the greatest band of all time but also for showing how cool and intelligent and very educated they are (the tribesmen)
Ive a very hard day, as this year have been extremely hard on me .... but today after seeing this ... l cant explain but l feel really good...
wish y’all a lot piece and success!!🎉
WOW. Led Zep bringing the world together with their music. Outstanding.
This is by far my favorite one of these reactions and Led Zeppelin are my favorite band. It's amazing to see the appreciation for music transcending culture and language.
I can't remember when I enjoyed this song more than today, watching and listening with these gentlemen ❣️ Peace and love to one and all 💞
Double like... the elders' comments were incredibly perspicacious. Thank you. As a long time Led fan, this video explores the many layers of poetic meaning in "Stairway to Heaven." He reacts: "you can't buy a stairway to heaven, only good deeds will get you there!" He really lives that and it resonates in his words. Good deeds, indeed! This is a video well worth watching. Fascinating.🙃
These guys reacting to Led Zeppelin have filled me with joy !
They brought tears to my eyes and gave me a glimmer of hope. AND I want one of their hats!
I am from Serbia. 🇷🇸 Love your reaction on reaction on "Stairway to Heaven". There is so much more to learn from this iconic Led Zeppelin's song, and i learned. Thank you.
The greatest live version of this song! Chills!
Led Zeppelin still touching people's lives across time and culture.
What a fabulous reaction. Their interpretation of the lyrics was interesting, and their appreciation of the musicianship was humbling.
The comment about shadows being sins was amazingly insightful. I’ve never thought of it that way but it’s a brilliant interpretation.
These gentlemen framed this song for me in ways that will change the way I hear it forever. Fantastic analysis from all of them.
That was awesome, great takes by all of these wise gentleman.
Love this! I'm 53 and have been opening my mind to music that I would not have even considered 10-20 years ago. I never thought I would appreciate Japanese metal, but I do now. Same with African tribal drum music. The power of the drums gives life to the music. Music is universal!
Dub Reggae next. Then Trip Hop. Then look up Burial.
Such beautiful fabrics these men wear. Colorful patterns, lovely.
The interviewer here is really smart and explaining these songs & lyrics well.
Considering direct translations sometimes don't transfer well across different languages/cultures too.
Unique cross of cultures. I love hearing what the Tribe thinks. I didn’t think they would understand - and in fact it is I who didn’t understand it. This is a marvelous experiment. I grew up with this song and didn’t understand a bit of it! Fantastic❣️
An awesome song to show to our dear friends. It's quite abstract, and you guys have a way to read through these kind of lyrics and draw interesting conclusions. Also, glad to see Chacha is better! My regards to you all
I don't think ever held my breath so much watching a reaction!! You are all wonderful people. ❤️❤️❤️✌️
Wow, thank you!
great reaction!
the end where he said "has we wind on down the road our shadows taller than our souls" to mean that as we wind down the road of life our past is longer than our future. we are getting old and closer to the end. the next section is back to the lady who is realizing materialistic pursuits are meaningless. "to be a rock and not to roll" stand firm for your beliefs and don't fall into temptation
These Ustads know a good thing when they see and hear it! Thank You.
These faithful gentlemen have enabled me to listen to a song that has been a part of my life for 50 years in a much deeper and more meaningful way than I have before! Shukran gentlemen!
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin as a child. They are still one of my favorite bands. I love seeing these men experience it for the first time.
Love it when that guys starts perceptibly nodding along to the music - head banging is universal lol!
What an interesting and insightful interpretation of Zeppelin’s most famous song. They are mature enough and opened eyed enough to be able to feel the music. It really proves the adage that music crosses all boundaries and borders. Fantastic piece here!
So much wisdom whether or not they were well educated. With everyone seeming to be scripted and camera prepped these days, the real reactions of these men to this artwork were priceless! Thank you for sharing this!
"Wow Genie wow!" I just love these people and their genuine reactions ❤
Whenever I listen to Led Zeppelin I am thinking "This is how they sang and told stories back in the 1700 if they would have electric guitars and amps" Such a fitting song and video for these humble men to listen to. Also I 100% agree with the comment about Kashmir. These men would get a kick out of listening to that. Bless you all and Thank you for sharing these videos.
Have you ever heard the full album version of thick as a brick? I think you'd dig it
@@whispersmith I have not. But now I feel like I have to. Thanks for sharing it. Bedtime in a few minutes here, so I will try to find it later today on youtube or otherwise and let you know what I think. Stay safe and Thank You for the reply.
The algorithm got it right recommending this channel.
Great video amigo. I'm subscribing. 🤘🏼
Beautiful - with no pre-conceived cultural notions - they simply receive and appreciate the art itself!
Led Zeppelin was the first concert that I ever saw and the best! Saw them in Cincinnati 1977-78! ❤️❤️
I'm in my mid 70's and still love this song by Led Zeppelin, I really enjoyed your Video, very interesting. Also found your guests, every one them, very interesting with wisdom and a Kind Heart.
This is go wonderful! I love these guys. I'm glad that music can help bring us together! I bet Jimmy would be honored and enjoy jamming with their musicians. This is what the internet should be about. Bravo to everyone who was involven in this concept and video!
