Rockers Play Their Favorite Led Zeppelin Riffs
Вставка

- The songs of Led Zeppelin need no introduction- but here's one anyway.
Over our many episodes of Gear Factor, we've heard many rockers describe how Jimmy Page's iconic riffs, John Bonham's thunderous drumming and the songs they created with Robert Plant and John Paul Jones blew their minds and inspired them to make their own music.
In this video, you'll see artists like Zakk Wylde, Mike Portnoy and Sum 41 talk about and play the Zep songs that changed their worlds.

Can we talk about Zakk Wylde playing an acoustic LZ song?! He's the most replayed part of this video, don't think anyone was expecting that...
Over the Hills and Far Away....underrated Zep track.....in fact, they all are!
Nothing about LZ is underrated you lunatic 🙄
i wouldn’t say underrated but of course its super good
You gonna say stairway is underrated? It’s literally called the forbidden riff bc it was so overplayed, and Immigrant song is played by every action movie and video game trailer on TV
talking bout love is imo. but zeppelin isn't really underrated. they've definitely had their success. first rock band to buy a Boeing 747 I believe.
I freaking love the drum part on “Fool In The Rain”
Agreed. John was a Bernard Purdie fan, Thats the "purdie shuffle" he's drumming. Check it out on UA-cam
This is gonna sounds insane to say this but Jimmy page is actually under rated. His acoustic work was on an entirely different level, he was way more than a rock player.
Agree with you. For many people Jimmy is just a rockstar, but little did they know he's also a producer, an UNDERRATED PRODUCER.
Page is an anomaly. I can't think of any other guitarists who've been as innovative as he was, using odd effects, keys, tunings, rhythms, and space. To me, Presence epitomizes their mature growth into songwriting that no one could touch. Individually, they were great, but the collective is what set them alight and sent them astro-projecting into the night. When I tell anyone that Zep is the greatest rock band of all time and they want to argue, I just have them sit for half an hour and watch live Dazed and Confused from the film Song Remains the Same. I never tire of watching pure genius.
@PelonMusk
Exaggerated bullshit. 99% of what Page did is original.
@PelonMusk Your lost.
No truer a word said. I don't think anyone disputes his contribution to popular rock music, but I think some people dismiss his ability as guitar player because he didn't always play or deliver.
Up until around 1975, (but particularly up to 1973) the band were absolutely incendiary live. Some of the Concerts I have heard from the first 4 years together are phenomenal, and the sound is just so big for 4 people. 69 Paris gig, The Tampa Florida show in 1972 . LA forum gigs 1972, The 1971 'John Peel' gig and 1970.Southampton Uni etc, there are moments of utter genius .
After The 1973 American tour there were highlights (Earls Court etc) and great performances, but the band don't quite seem as enthusiastic and adventurous. There are still some great performances, and those great musical moments of sheer brilliance, but its not quite the same feeling of flying by the seat of your pants.
The 73 MSG gigs have some great performances of individual songs, but I think even there the band weren't quite their best. Roberts voice had lost his trademark upper range, the band sound tired and pedestrian in places and Jimmy is repetitive doesn't seem anywhere near as inventive as before.
However as is shown by the guys playing their own versions of Zeppelin tunes, very few are able to mimic Jimmy's chord voicings, unusual inversions, and unlike these pretenders, Jimmy tone is genuinely quite reserved and clean sounding, the thickness comes mainly from the valves with a push from a fuzz .
Ten Years Gone
The Hello Kitty drums tho 😻🥁😂😂😂. Led Zeppelin are legends 🤘🏼.
When The Levee's Break is the reason I started playing the drums.
I'm a guitarist, but I know what you mean--Bonham and to a lesser extent Dave Grohl have made me question if I shouldn't have got a drum kit😅
Haters gonna hate. Y'all can't deny about how much influence in music industry that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant gave to these professional musicians.
I read all comments and no one dissed Led Zeppelin.
That was funny....
There are two things on this planet no one hates: French fries and Led Zeppelin
Willie Dixon !
@@hammertownpavaomy dic*
The unbelievable thing about those bands is that each member is a ridiculously talented musician in his own right! Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple, The Beatles, The Spiders from Mars, The Who, Motörhead and many more! Long live Rock’n’Roll!
All british
Rock is far an ahead the greatest music genre ever. I don't even think is disrespectful to other genres.
Never knew i needed an acoustic version of Rock and Roll @5:35 but i did
I really wanted to hear Myles start singing too
Cool, great that The Rover was mentioned.
Kashmir is easily one of my fav riffs ever
First time I ever tripped on acid I heard Kashmir in the basement of a house party and I was blown away. That night I became a huge Led Zeppelin fan
Kashmir is my favorite. Plant Page did an awesome version in 95 with the Egyptian orchestra. I'm sure you've heard it. Fn tore it up! Love Zeppelin.
@@brentdoerfler6149 where can I find it
@@HouseWashingRick it's not a compliment to the music if you needs drugs to appreciate it.
@@user-qb1sm3rk9r no body asked you for your opinion
Celebration day is one of my favorites by zep and all the way underrated
Same here!
Absolutely
Custard Pie is a great riff
Achilles last stand - much underrated zeppelin track!
Keith Moon was Animal from The Muppets band in human form..
I always thought "Animal" was modeled off of Ginger Baker
@@hughjass7025 probably, seems fit or Keith possibly? Both Musicians were around before The Muppets were invented
@@hughjass7025Keith Moon because of his wild playing.
I'm surprised Kashmir was not mentioned!
Myself as well!
Probably the tuning. Most of these guys are talking about the first song they heard.
Led zeppelin, Deep Purple, black sabbath and Rainbow. The best hard rock bands of that era
Uriah Heep too
Blue Oyster cult also
@@gsxrkz i agree, after the Beatles.
@@gsxrkz yeah the Beatles.
needs more D'yer Mak'er
😂❤
I just LOVE Jiimmy Page so much.
“Give that man a fish” 😂
Zeppelin are tight musicians.
Playing loose and easy.
That’s hard. You need confidence in yourself and your band mates if you are going to play like that. Awareness of what everyone is doing. Lot of credit goes to JPJ and Bonzo for providing the framework for Plant and Paige to have their head.
Jimmy for heavy psychedelic style, Clapton for precise sweetness, Beck for creativity but no one can play heavy, precise, acoustic and creatively like Jimmy Page, imo. And amazing live to boot.
These 2 are Jimi & Jimmy are the best
Stairway denied!
From the bassist who has to play guitar too often, I learned so much playing all the guitar parts from Mr page. No one gives enough credit to John Paul jones.
Guitar center does not approve of this video.
Would yall stop with that nonsense? I'll walk into GC and play whatever tf I want. This BS fake meme isn't even funny. I don't understand why you all keep repeating it. There isn't a soul at a single Guitar Center on this planet that'll stop me from trying out a guitar with any riff I want because of some BS meme on the internet.
Smoke on the Water, Stairway, whatever. They won't stop me from playing anything. Guarantee it.
@@J.C... And this ladies and gentlemen is a keyboard warrior in his natural habitat.
This vid made me smile.
Communication breakdown ❤
Led Zeppelin!
Loved this. Thanks guys.
WOW!!! No one can play Bonzo right.
Listen to Bonzo on Achilles last stand from 77 tour. Sounds like a machine gun
I urge anyone that believes Page to be a sloppy player to spend the time to listen to Zeppelin albums in their entirety. Not only will you see how incredible he really is, you’ll get to see how each individual member truly were ahead of their time and earned the right to be called the greatest of all time.
He was quite sloppy in some of the live recordings but probably also drugged up beyond belief during those
@@FaceItYouAreInsaneherion, his drug of choice
@@FaceItYouAreInsanehe wasn’t sloppy at all between 69-73. You’d be hard pressed hearing him hit a bad note. Go listen to any live Zeppelin show between those years…. Page is smoking hot.
@@fredfreddy2338 uh oh, sassy pants over here is angered someone has a difference of opinion! Cheer up dude, it’s Christmas time.
Agreed from 1967 to 1973 page played best the hundreds of quality live performances are there
I'm a bit surprised the drummer didn't mention D'yer Maker.
Actually Mike the Crunge drum sample was not used in 3 is the Magic Number they used funky drummer. Similar I guess? 🤘
So it was Clyde Stubblefield? Sweet!
I stand corrected. That clearly is the Crunge at the beginning. Has anyone in the audience ever been hit by a car?
@@theedmeeThey used him on that song. Funky drummer.
How many more times sold me.
Does anyone know what snare drum Mike Portney is using above?
Most awesomenessful! The Mighty!
I play my favorite Roth Era Van Halen and it's a lot
eruption first listening best day off my life
@@guttormurthorfinnsson8758 My mom got me my very first Van Halen shirt! Best. Band. EVER!
Classic Van Halen with Roth over zeppelin all day long
@@FrankBuyers...guitarista-iu3zg hahahahahahahahahahahaha fucking hell, Van Halen over Zeppelin 😭😭
@@benjaminalston8884 yes indeed and every time just like many others would Jimmy page isn't even worthy to hold Eddie Van Halen's guitar..and page should have learned to write a lot more of their own music.. zeppelin was exposed long ago 😂😅🤣
People forget Alex VH soooooo much
My god was he boring.
More like their favorite -Forbidden- Fantastic riffs.
mike the music snob... love the humility and drive
Jimmy Page is the GOAT 🐐
at 6,32 if u can chose 1. 4x 105 =
My kind of content
They were incredible. I mean they all sounded much better than the artists in this video trying to cover them
You know these guys are just on the fly, recanting their rough recollection of how the riffs went, right? 😂
Bozo was In fact was my favorite until his untimely death in1980 by then the band was putting out a album a year and a super band I got to see them song remains the same my best concert ever
*Bonzo 🫣
Bozo 🤣
That freaking killed me haha😂@@Ash_Hudson
Does anyone know the riff that Chris Traynor was playing ? From what song ? Thanks !!!!
I hope someone knows because I was wondering the same!
Custard Pie I think if you mean the SG guy.
@@aerop.3030at the 7:21 mark
@@melanieshaw3210 yeah that's "Custard Pie"
@aerop.3030 Thanks so much bro !!!!
If you play, play unapologetically.
Look at how revered Mike Portnoy is by the metal drumming community; plays all of these crazy off time beats, sixtuplet fills etc, yet can't play the intro to Rock and Roll properly, or catch the groove on The Crunge or Fool in the Rain. That speaks volumes to me. Technique and blast beating is not everything.
I've seen El Estepario Siberiano miss the "Rock 'n' Roll" intro, so maybe Bonham really was just that talented. Also Portnoy is playing off the cuff, doubt he practices these songs. Unfair criticism given that his technique is such that he has fills named after him. Sorry you're not as good...
@@theedmee Did you just like your own comment? 🤣 There aren't many people that are as good as Portnoy, but he is a metal drummer through and through. No swing at all. To me, swing and groove is what makes a drummer truly great.
@@theedmee PS. I'm not trying to be a Portnoy-esque drummer. I like and respect him, but I don't care for his style at all.
Old?
Long love jimmy page he was the ball sack of zeppelin and without the juices he released the band wouldn’t have been half as good.
😮😅
Miles Kennedy looks like both Jim Carrey and Kevin bacon
I instantly saw Carrey and when I read "Bacon" I thought, "That's it!" 😂👍
My understanding is that this video was incorrect within the first 10 seconds. Bonham didn't double hit the bass drum on some of those kicks during when the levee breaks. The recording had an echo which made it sound like a double kick.
While that is correct, Bonham actually played it live as though it were written with the delay (see any Led Zep concert film). It was a stupidly simple groove that he turned into something amazing, and what you're looking for is the Binson Echorec device.
Have a deeper respect for BVB
I wish my man Ben Savage could afford something else than KRKs
😢
Love how Portnoy plays every single one of those grooves wrong
No bass players 🙄
It's funny, in my humble fecal opinion: Jimmy is the best guitarist in the world (along with Eddie VH and Jimmy H.), and Bonhan is the best drummer. But in terms of band, Beatles were the most important in history.
Willie Dixon !
Lets not forget SRV died too soom but nobody can do what he did.
I’m a die hard Zep fan but as a player SRV has never been bettered
I was just a kid when we lost him, but as an adult I can't imagine a world without his music. Wish SRV could have shared a stage with Jimmy in life.
Stevie was up there too with page and hendrix for sure
Portnoy can't swing. Ha
Doesn't seem like it.
Or groove. No finesse in his Bonham interpretations. No ghost notes. Yet apparently one of the best drummers alive 😂
@@Ash_Hudson Can we judge you on your off-the-cuff playing with possibly zero practice? Sounds like fun!
@@theedmee Go for it. Doesn't change the fact that Portnoy can't swing though.
Metlika band will hold a music concert in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the Riyadh Season activities 😘😉
Ringo pioneered "The Pocket"
Moon pioneered "the style"
Bonham pioneered DRUMS.
Compared to Tony Williams or Billy Cobham, bonham is shit.
@@cwinsten1 that's, like, your opinion, man.
@@cwinsten1 Who?
@@theedmee two drummers who are superior in every way to fat boy bonham.
I don't care what the rest of the guitar world says JIMMY PAGE is guy to watch.
Played “Rock n Roll” intro wrong.
Lol go tell Mike Portnoy and see how much he cares. Dude has fills named after him.
@@theedmee Id tell him If your gonna play Bonham play him correctly.
Hello beautiful girl how are yodreams dreams babe
Still playing stairway solo wrong lol
That hurt to listen to.
Wow, still plays Stairway solo poorly?
Gymnastics practice??
Some of us play instruments AND sports growing up! Gasp!
Dream Theater is such a paradox.
When you listen the members in interviews, they're all really smart & likable....and they're absolute wizards with their respective instruments, BUT (and it's a big but), the sum of their music is just awful. Like really awful.
Their music is so cheesy, corny and awful, that it's kinda shocking.
It honestly surprises me that they have such a large following...but I guess there's a lot of folks out there who love to consume operatic cheese-metal, with over-the-top lyrics. 🤷♂️
I agree about Bonham but Peter Criss in his prime was legendary
😅
You got jokes..😅 man that's funny...
What about the drummer from Motley Cruë? He could even play upside down!
😂
@@endokrin7897 True. I never saw Buddy Rich pull THAT off. Legend...
@@endokrin7897 He could also beat his wife and get away with it!
It's really "Rockers Play Their Favorite Riffs From Other Artists That Led Zeppelin Made Famous"
Original comment. Congratulations
Away listen to black sabbath stop boring us
@@paulmurray8671 great idea. Volume 4 here I come
So edgy wow
Blud really thinks that Rock and Roll, Black Dog, Over The Hills, Tangerine, Ramble On and Custard Pie are the stolen riffs lmaooo pls try another jokes.
blue hair dye, hmmmm
what are your pronouns?
"Rockers play their favorite riffs that Led Zeppelin ripped off."
There fixed it for you.
Wrong.
Duane > Jimmy P
By a long shot.
Duane only lived to be 21- all the other AB's huge hits were written by the late Dickey Betts (RIP) or Gregg. Welcome to reality, Jimmy was a professional musician and not a backwoods kid from Georgia.
Please spare us with the zeppelin bullsh*t
Spare us your superiority bullsh!t, Lawrence.
@@theedmee no one likes zeppelin anymore numm nuts we all know what music frauds and thieves the were
