This song pushed the boundaries at the time. However back door man at that time meant he wanted to be her side piece and run out the back door when her husband came home. It has other meanings these days
You are very welcome! You gotta check out “Hold the Line” by Toto. They kicked some ass on the charts in the 70’s. You may just say another “wow and ooh” with this tune and put forth that million dollar smile girl! DRJDC
Just one more suggestion that emanates from the Jazz genre. The tune is “Can’t stop the rain now” by Vincent Ingala. If this doesn’t get the juices flowing, then I will cease and desist with my suggestions girl! Stay the course! DRJDC
Man...As usual, first time listeners have their jaws drop when those riffs rip and Plant comes howling in. But I gotta say that when YOU cut loose immediately with your groove, MY jaw dropped! lol. By far the best reaction I've seen of this one. You are so connected to what this music is and so free with your expression of it! That was awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you loved this, the Greatest Band to ever rock a stage!
Loved your reaction Empress! This is a very sexy song, on the verge of being dirty, most women reactors act like they don't get the lyrics... Yeah right...LOL! Keep up the good work!😘
When Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page performed this during the 2012 Olympics in London, I was waiting for the moment Leona was going to sing "gonna give you every inch of my love" but she never did. 😂😂😂
This always draws comments for those who react. Different generations have different terms. "Back door man" refers to someone who is sneaking in & out of the back door of the house. As in, when the cat's away, the mice will play. This was off of their 2nd album. And actually both the 1st two albums came out in 1969.
It always kills me that there is always "someone" that feels a need to explain one meaning of this line in every reaction. Yeah man, we all "get" the exit the backdoor as hubby enters the front and vice versa. We also know woman may have got her bootie banged in that process too. Have you ever heard the term "double entendre "? Have you ever listened to any interviews of past blues performers? Their music was full of em. "Backdoor" has "always" had two meanings and "always" had two meanings in this song. Hell man, he says in the same line..."shake for me girl...I wanna be your backdoor man". I grew up with this band. We all knew what it meant...BOTH meanings. Its been going on for thousands of years if not tens of thousands. Without question, this song is about as sexual as it gets. Dont candy coat and play stupid. Just give it a rest ok. Smh Mark
@@weldonbailey1005 Wrong. I've seen the reactions, and they are all reacting to one meaning, not a double entrende. That old term definition, you will not see used in any in contemporary writings. The people reacting to Led Zepplin on UA-cam, were not born when they were active.
So "back door man" had a different meaning back then in the UK, it means a man who has affairs with married women, in that he sneaks in though the back door lol
@@EmpressReacts I noticed you're loving Pink Floyd, if you've not seen it you gotta react to "Echoes" by Floyd, the "Live in Pompeii " version, it is astounding...
This was the first cut on the Led Zeppelin II album released October 22, 1969, and one of their biggest hits to date -- Jimmy Page's introductory 5-note guitar riff is one of the most recognizable in rock history. The line "I wanna be your back door man" is supposed to refer to a dude who's having an affair with a married woman and leaves quickly through the back door to avoid her husband's arrival. 😲 But there's no misinterpreting the "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love" lyric, it means exactly what you thought it meant judging by the look on your face. 🤣 The way you appreciate and react to all of these classic '60s/'70s hard rock/soft rock/alternative rock/disco/R&B/pop/soul/funk/you-name-it requests on your channel, you sure you weren't born back then and discovered the fountain of youth? 🤩🤗
Right on! The bass line had you going before the drums kicked in. The break down acts like the cool down before the climax that is that guitar solo! Fire!
Welcome to the mighty Led Zeppelin ! Wish you had done the live performance of this song from the Madison Square Garden concert. Time for the song Since I've Been Loving You from the Madison Square Garden concert. Also hope you review The Immigrant Song from the Australia ,1972 concert.
Maybe the most primal guitar riff in all of rock, right here. Awesome rhythm, emphatic drumming, vocals and sound effects. Took a Willie Dixon song with extra lyrics to the next level, and then some.
Try The Studio Version of KASHMIR!! It will Change your Life! You will Probably have to Pause once, or Twice to keep it from getting Blocked. But just don't Pause Too long, and Enjoy. I'd say listen to their Studio Versions First, then go Back and Check out their Love Proformances Later! Especially Kashmir!
"Back Door Man" is a blues song written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1960. The lyrics draw on a Southern U.S. cultural term for an extramarital affair. The song is one of several Dixon-Wolf songs that became popular among rock musicians, including the Doors who recorded it for their 1967 self-titled debut album.
It was very fun watching Empress rock-out and react to Led Zeppelin. I was introduced to them through Tori Amos in the 90s. She cites them as her biggest influence, and you can hear it in her voice when she gets real passionate. She did some incredible live versions of this song in the start of her touring days in 1992, as well as a brilliant studio cover of Thank You. She also much later covered When The Levee Breaks after Katrina. She also even ended up dueting on Down By The Seaside with Robert Plant on a tribute album to Led Zeppelin. Back door man means something different now than it did then, BTW. Back then it meant more like secret lover who literally has to come in through the back door so they don't get caught. Now it means anal. Lol Big difference, although the implication of promiscuity, sexuality, and innuendo are all still purposeful and relevant. ua-cam.com/video/qZ-Iz7IzPzQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8d2I8bjrAcw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/TCCxpYEa5vQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/36Y0Xf26eSI/v-deo.html
@@EmpressReacts He was still a vintage freak, and probably in that way too, 😉 but lyrics were all much more metaphorical back then. Like with The Who's 'Squeeze Box'- is that a song about an accordion, or. . . ?! lol All you have to do is see any photo of Robert Plant from the waist down in the 70s and it is very clear "how big" of a "vintage freak" he was indeed. Lol There's a couple infamous backstage stories out there as well. 😜 I should make it clear I think Led Zeppelin has a bunch of truly great music that I love.
Sometimes I think because it’s called classic rock now that when this came out, like’69-‘70, this was pretty ground breaking. And tho rock fans loved it I can tell you their parents didn’t 😂
Back in the 70's/80's we lived by the Motto Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll!!! Some of us didn't do the second one, lol but it was all around. If you really like Roberts voice, you need to check out his collaborations with another Icon. Him and Alison Krauss teamed up 14 years ago, to release an album that earned them 3 Grammys. They just released another album in November.
Back in the 70’s a “back door” man meant someone who was having an affair with a married woman so would leave out the back door when the husband came home
No, not the 1970's. The late 1960's and by the way, someone chopped this song up. It's missing some from the middle of the song. Now the reason that this is Important is because if enough people listen to this, soon the world will believe that this is the way it was... and it is definitely NOT. People need to leave this music the hell alone!
I’ve seen reaction videos where the edited middle section of the song is used and it always irks me. Who added all the video footage? I’d be surprised if Zeppelin had anything to do with it because they hated the edited version that was put out by the label at that time and they never released another edited single after. Why would they add footage much later to a version they despised? Also, in using a large letter caption with “back door man” leads me to believe that you’re not interpreting the meaning of that phrase correctly lol.
This song comes from a Willie Dixon composition..Whole lotta of love...sang by Muddy Waters...Back door man is the tile of a Willie Dixon composition..Back door Man...Sang by Howling Wolf...Led zeppelin has had multiple law suits ,pertaining to plagiarism.. With that said ..Zeppelin is one of the greatest western contemporary/pop bands of all times..Although sir rob n sir jim are sell-outs
@@valliantaerialphotography9943 ..Very true Aerial... The lyric was Dixon ..Which Zeppelin lost a lawsuit 1985 ,Now Dixon is on the writing credits. ( Got a settlement)). The composition::is very close to )Steve Marriot and the small faces..Cover
Absolutely NOTHING in the music of this classic, which is all anyone cares about, was anything but pure Zeppelin. They had to give credit to 2 songs, period. The other 106, including 60+ absolute classics and the greatest riffs and drum fills in history, were ALL Zep. Get over it. Trying to describe Zep by saying they had a lot of lawsuits is like saying Beyoncé had a zit. Missing the point completely……Zep was totally original and innovative band, the greatest of all time. Period. Take your sell-out garbage and peddle to people who don’t know any better, then get a life.

Backdoor man isn't what you think. It's when the hubby leaves and comes home and they come and go through the back door
Another smokin Zeppelin song! 🔥One of their first big hits. Still sounds amazing over 50 years later.
💯
Haha! Backdoor man was a term used for a dude sneaking in the backdoor after the husband has left the house.
👀oh😂
@@sethosborne1864 I never said that was the only meaning of the term. I pointed out what it meant in the context of this song.
This song pushed the boundaries at the time. However back door man at that time meant he wanted to be her side piece and run out the back door when her husband came home. It has other meanings these days
😂oh okay
Songs like this made Led Zeppelin what they are today, one of the greatest Rock n Roll bands of all times. 😁❤️
🔥💯
It brought me immense pleasure watching you rock out to this song🤘😁
😍
Saw them do this tune in concert in '73, and it was almost as hot as watching you boogie to it now! Thanx for another great reaction.
😂thanks!
Back then...."Back Door Man" described a guy hanging around a couples back door waiting for hubby to take off for the day.
😂😂oh
For sure: these guys will be cool 500 years from now.
PS- He was 19. Best hair.
He was 19?????
This live 1973 at MSG is spectacular!
I'm so bummed when reactors don't get exposed to the MSG live performances.
@@bobhope3716 Then pay up and sponsor them.
Your man is so lucky..you gonna have a lot of happy babies
thanks!
our mouths dropped open when we heard their first album. The blues influence was so strong. This song was pure sex, drugs and rock n' roll! Classic.
The way you say “”wow ooh” is off the chart girl!!
🤣thanks

And now for something completely different….Try Robert Plant (lead singer in Zep) with a duet with Allison Kraus - “Gone Gone Gone”.
btw, "Back Door Man" is an old blues song by Howlin' Wolf.
I think you missed the point...
@@shineon7641 No, I didn't. I get the point. Just putting it out there that it was a song also with that title.
