Love seeing your reaction to these two amazing songs and you validate that great music from over 50 years ago is still universally recognized as such by the younger generation. The riff from Heartbreaker has been described as one of the greatest in rock. LZ packs so much musical greatness in their album compared to so many other artists. There's still more to come on your journey.
Back in the day, this tune was a Master Class to learn several bass and lead guitar riffs and techniques. We wore the vinyl out, and we had to buy another copy!!!!
**NastyBadAssRiff** F YEA!!! **Luv** **Heartbreaker** oh man & that solo AAAAAHHHH!! & Plant & the words its ALL so freakin just **BadAss** Ha BUT i can NOT wait for the next one i member when i was 1st listening to them as that lil girl in my sisters room THAT one just whoa it spoke to my entire being way down deep in my **Soul** EVERYthing about IT especially the words so yea it was my very 1st favorite song by them until course i heard **ALL** of them heh then it was **My Very Most Fav Song By Led Zeppelin Is The One I Am Listening To At Any Given Moment** so yep SO **Excited** **Beautiful** Weeee **PixieTwirls**
I can’t wait to check it out, im hearing lots of great things about Ramble On! I love how music speaks to us in those ways, it hits the soul, thank you for always commenting, i always enjoy reading them!
@@ToMitoReacts1017 Oh yea! its a lot of ppls fav or so ive seen in comments all over heh & yea man i just think of it as a **MagicalGift** to make life bearable & i also mean other **BeyondFantastical** Artists out there as well of ALL types heh anyway **Thank YOU* for always being so **Kind** & **Genuine** **PixieTwirls** **RockON!!!**✨🎸✨
Heartbreaker: Jimmy uses his 1959 Les Paul Standard on that opening riff. He doubles the guitar in production to give it more weight. The distortion is caused by the poor condition of amp. JPJ shadows Jimmy with his Jazz Bass. This track is considered one that helped usher in hard rock.
Hi HollisDuty, I never knew that about the amp causing the distortion. I thought it must have been a wizardly trick by Jimmy & Co. cos it just sounds so badass, lol. Also, was that the Les Paul that joe Walsh gave him? I know Walsh gave him one, and I don't think Page ever looked back, basically.
@@joescott8877 yes, that became his Number One. I have a great tome (very big book) named LED ZEPPELIN, All The Songs, The Story Behind Every Track. It has the most interesting information in it. Many quotes from the band members, engineers, manager, other musicians- highly recommend if you are a Led Head.
@@HollisDuty60 Cool, thx for confirming. Y'know, I really should just break down and get that book, lol. I've heard raves about it, and our local library doesn't yet have it. I have at least a dozen Zep books already, lol, why not make it a "Baker's," right? Are you familiar with "LZ: The Concert File," by Dave Lewis & Simon Pallett? Super detailed breakdown of all the live shows, complete with "Plantations," lol. THAT guy Lewis is one dedicated Led Head!
I have to come back to say i just heard your comments on Bonzo and JPJ. We fans smile cos in the next song, a gentle rocker called "Ramble On," JPJ lays down one of THE sweetest bass lines. Also, listen for the "Lord of the rings" type lyrics, if u are a Tolkien fan at all, u will notice them. And u WILL notice Bonzo drumming in "Moby Dick, right after Ramble On.. All i'm gonna say, but it CAN easily be called a "Bonham song," lol.
Heartbreaker has a great, heavy riff punctuated by the "doom-like" notes of Jonesy's bass. The brief guitar solo was done separately from the original track and added later. LLM is spry and saucy and I like it a lot.
Funny story… when this album came out there was a major radio station that accidentally played both songs back to back because they realize when one ended and one started. Ever since it’s like an unwritten rule to play them together.
Although all 4 of these musicians are elite masters, Bonzo's prominence in their sound grows and grows as you get further into the catalog. By the time you get to the 6th and 7th albums, Bonzo is virtually the lead instrument.
The next album is a complete departure ...very light in comparison. Much more acoustic. Great album, but make no assumptions. Just enjoy. Every album is completely different.
Great reaction, man, I knew these twin bangers would F with your mind, lol! Everyone talks about the first guitar solo in Heartbreaker, but over the years I've come to enjoy the second solo even more. It's like it takes off, gets airborne, is so fluid, and then that distortion at the end b4 Robert comes back in is just so badass. The band didn't like the lyrics of the 2nd song much, and maybe thot the music too "poppy," but I think it rocks along just fine, especially Bonzo's kick drum going nuts! Finally, there's an interesting tale behind this album, google has it, but the short of it is Page & the band wanted it to sound BIG, so they produced it/cut it "extra HOT," which is audio language for stuff I don't have a clue about, lol. But it DID make it sound expansive, atmospheric, louder, better, etc. BUT: Many of the teenyboppers who were rushing out to buy it had these shit record players that couldn't handle the "hot" pressing of the record! A daughter of one of the record company's execs complained to her dad and said it was garbage. The exec saw a major crisis brewing, with word-of-mouth saying the new Zeppelin record sucks/sounds like shit, and so he ordered an emergency "stop the presses!" and they pressed it in a much wimpier-but-playable way. So folks who still have one of the rare original prints/pressings have a nice little bit of treasure! I suspect what you played has been revved back up to "hot,", what with remastering and all, heh.
Wooooow that is an incredible background story and i really appreciate you sharing that with me! that makes me want to go on ebay or google and try to find original pressed versions 😂 thats crazy man, the people who have the original’s now are so lucky.
@@ToMitoReacts1017 Yeah, I didn't even know about it till a month or so ago, just clicked on some rando vid about its history that yt algos had put in front of me, lol. I'm 58 and used to have a lot of albums, still have some. My bro and I need to research all our shit someday and see if we have any "hidden treasure"ourselves, lol.
@@joescott8877 you should definitely dig through your old stuff, records are making a come back nowadays especially with my generation , and you could always even sell some stuff if you don’t want them anymore
@@ToMitoReacts1017 Agreed, and Here's the kicker: My grandparents, especially on our late Mom's side, had REALLY old records, like Victrola-era --the ones that were almost HALF AN INCH THICK, lol! After we lost our Dad several years ago, he took charge of the "going through everything" task, and I think he researched it and was disappointed to find they weren't really worth too much, due to bad condition, not Blues or other "collectable" music genres, etc. But I'm pretty sure he/we kept at least some of them anyhow.
Jimmy's riff sound was his 59 Les Paul run through a Fender Bassman amp turned up loud for natural distortion. Joe Perry of Aerosmith later used the same set up for the riff on Sweet Emotion.
Just a suggestion, you should react to the album version then the live version of each song of their discography in a back-to-back format. Mainly because Led Zeppelin’s live versions are a feast for the eyes and ears not to mention all the improvisation you’re missing out on! (I have tons of links/playlists). Also you don’t really have to worry about the copyright text on the official videos-that you’ve been using. To make up for not starting out with this format you can search for Royal Albert Hall 1970& go through the whole concert either all at once or one a day for two weeks-you will NOT regret it!! 😁
Actually, in my opinion, if you're going to start with live, go to the first which is Led Zeppelin: Live on TV BYEN/Danmarks Radio [Full Performance] (on YT). It's a half hour performance of some of the songs from the first album, then go to Royal Albert Hall.
@@henriettaskolnick4445 That would work too. My faves are RAH TSRTS(The Song Remains The Same )aka MSG 73 & EC Earls Court 5/24/75 for Kashmir and 5/25/75 for the encore of Whole Lotta Love(second only to WLL 73!), Black Dog, Heartbreaker, Communication Breakdown. I have playlists if you need hints 😁
What’s funny is the band hated Living Loving Maid, but fans love it, always been used to hearing both together. A few more great songs on this album, including Moby Dick, I still suggest the longer live version of that from Madison Square Gardens. Certain lives need seen & heard instead of the studio version. Thanks again for your reaction.
I personally love listening to studio versions first since its typically the version ill be listening to the most (in the car, headphones, ext.) but i will most definitely check out the live versions as well, thank you for the comment and support!
@@ToMitoReacts1017 I can understand that, I guess since I’ve heard studio versions forever, I’m really appreciating seeing the lives. I so wish I had seen them in concert, to young at first, & no transportation or DL towards the end. I saw a lot of great bands as a teen, almost every weekend, just not my favorite.
When done with this album please watch whole lotta love from 1973MSG. It shows how the band varies their songs. Live verse studio are two different worlds. Keep it up! Thank You
I like both of these songs, especially "Heartbreaker". Since you enjoyed it so much, if you want to react to a live performance of "Heartbreaker" after you finish album 2, you should be able to find some video because they performed it a lot. The same can't be said of "Living Loving Maid" because they never performed it live. Next up is one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it as well. Edit: Didn't know you ran a poll. I missed it!
Aww YAY! it was my 1st fav as well until i heard ALL the rest & now they just ALL are heh oh tho it still makes me feel the exact same way today as it did back then always will that is one of the reasons i guess **Zep** is THE **Best** & **CrazyOtherworldlyMagical**
Normal for these two being played back to back because it is tagged 1 second apart on the album and they just flow ,, radio does the same when it is played
Yeah, basically i think the transition was too fast for even the most skilled old-school radio DJ to pick up the needle from the record in time to avoid the first second(s) of LLM being heard, which would have been awkward, and professionally embarrassing. I think that's the deal, anyhow.
Yes that is how it probably turned out to be as those two being joined at the hip back in the days of the album being the focus on progressive FM Stations along with the fans who had the album ... LZ 2 was my break in to Zep and that sudden ending of Heartbreaker to LL Maid was just a perfect fit and it just seems normal to any one that knows LZep @@joescott8877
@@VIDSTORAGE Yeah, my brain is still trained to expect it, lol, and it DOES seem to be purposeful, maybe cos the one ends with Plant's voice and the other begins with just his voice, like it was a continuation...
I'm sure part of your audience is British and the word "spunk", a word you tend to use a lot, is used in Britain as a slang term for semen and not the American-English meaning of the word.
@@ToMitoReacts1017 Wow, lol, luckily I can latch on to a memory of that iconic scene from Mary Tyler Moore where she first meets her new boss, gruff ol' Lou Grant and he looks at her and says "Y'know, kid, you've got SPUNK!" Mary thinks she's getting a compliments so she's all "Oh! Well, um, well thank you, Mr. Gran--" "I HATE spunk!" Grant says, lol!
Can't mess with Zeppelin. I love that young people are discovering them. 😎
The best is hearing them in concert!!! I DID!! What an experience I’ll never forget!!! So Blessed!!’👍👏💖
Imagine hearing this kind of music in '69 when it came out. Blew people's minds. There was nothing like it.
Led Zeppelin defined SWAG!! It just gets better!!
Its so fly, so swaggy!
"Ramble On" what a masterpiece, you're gonna add it to your list as well :)

Guess you need to be playing vinyl to get the two together like we first heard it.
Totally unintentional, had i known that second video i reacted to was a thing, i would have reacted to that instead 😭
