Nothing about this era originated from boredom. There was pure inspiration in the air from '64 through '94, in all genres. It was the pinnacle of popular music as we know it. I was born in '59 and thoroughly enjoyed it all. As much as I wish it would, it's not likely that the same level of inspiration will ever happen again in our lifetimes.
Agreed. By bored I think Polo just means kids have so many distractions these days that it’s real hard for anyone to put in the time, dedication, focus, etc it takes to create at this level.
A good, fast guitarist that Jimmy Page said " he would actually pay to see perform" is Alvin Lee from the British group Ten Years After.... The video of him performing "Going Home" at Woodstock is fantastic!
@@Cchan53 Most intense lead of the three day festival! Boy, Alvin smoked those strings! A decade later he played Memorial Hall in KCK. He walked out on the stage & up to the mic & looked at everyone, then said "What a bunch of fukin rednecks!" then started the show... LoL, he wasn't wrong...
the live version of this that rolls right into the rain song from msg 73 is simply unbeatable! they all absolutelyt KILL it!! and then the rain song right after is just utterly beautiful!
These guys weren’t board they were that good. They cranked out 5 all time classic multi platinum albums in 5 years. They had great chemistry and the stars aligned to give us the greatest band ever
There is a concert film named The 'Song Remains the Same', it's an entire Led Zeppelin concert. It's been decades since I've seen it myself, but it may be what he was referencing. I like the drum riffs on Dyer Maker, because Bonham never repeats himself during the entire song and yet it works every time he does a riff in that song, somehow he times it perfectly.
You can watch the movie on UA-cam, you can buy rent or watch it free with short ads. I saw it in the theater when it came out decades ago too, I’ve watched it twice on UA-cam, in the last few weeks.
Thank you for this comment. The live version is even better, in my opinion. And how it fades into the Rain Song is beautiful. So powerful. I saw this as a junior high school student at Midnight Movie and will never forget it. Thanks again for the comment and the flashback. Thanks, Polo for an awesome reaction.
"The Song Remains the Same" is the opening track from Led Zeppelin's fifth album - Houses of the Holy. The song pre-dates the Album and Movie of the same name by three years - 1973 vs. 1976. (even though the soundtrack for the movie was recorded during their 1973 US Tour).
@@tacocanada1888 hahahahah yeah. right. go on. They did borrow and took some songs as an inspiration... show me an artist that did not. Plus, when you create 1% of what LZ have done, you are allowed to talk them down. Bye.
Houses of the Holy - Page's period of insane guitar overdubs. He literally created huge orchestral guitar parts. Could never be reproduced live. But Page always made up for that live with brilliant improvisations. And none of it would have been propelled into the galaxies without Jones and Bonham's powerful collaborations. A true ensemble piece.
He really may have meant the film when it was referenced as proof of Jimmy's greatness.....The Song Remains the Same is the name of Zeppelin's concert film. I do love the studio version though. Good one!
When he said that "The Song Remains the Same" is proof that he is the greatest guitarist ever, I think he meant the Led Zeppelin Movie, the live performance at MGS (The Song Remains the Same) Many legendary performances from that one live show
@@michaelasay8587 Hard to say. I love most of their songs. Manu are complex and extremely creative but TSRTS is an amazingly structured piece of music. I've never tired of hearing it., studio or live versions. The guitar orchestra, the complex base melody and incredible drumming sets it apart. I've seen bands try to play it and none have ever gotten it quite right. These 4 musicians were the best ever assembled in 1 group.
I love watching someone hear this for the first time. Takes me back to how I felt the first time I listened to the Houses of the Holy album when I was 16. My mind was blown.
Your touching on something here. The upbringing of the children becoming adults in that era spawned all this music. First there was Elvis, I was 3 years old when he came on the scene. When I was 12, the Beatles hit. They made us all want to be musicians. We had no internet, no cell phones. All we had was the Ed Sullivan show, and radio. So the music of that time really spoke to us in a deep level. So, by the 70's many of us became great musicians in our own right. I'm not sure if something like that could ever be repeated.
imagine coming of age when all this music was first coming out , it was called rock an roll and we thought it would last forever , it was our norm. born in 55 and i can honestly say , it was the best time to be alive and we never knew it , if you wanted to be known in those times you had to rise to this level or higher .
The live version from the album of the same name may be the most explosive rock guitar playing ever. You gotta hear it, especially paired with The Rain Song. The pinnacle of rock music.
That's why Zeppelin is the greatest rock and roll band ever.... They do not have one bad song, everything they have is fantastic they are The benchmark for rock and roll
Hahahahahahahaha--"I left Earth!" Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Ohhhhh, this was tremendous! You were a joy to behold, Polo! So glad you enjoyed this as much as we have! I am just shy of 69 years old now and I remember when this first came out. Led Zeppelin is incredible!
Everyone is an expert!! Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time!! All geniuses in their own right! It was amazing and a God given talent they came together at the time they did! I’m soooo glad I grew up with this amazing rock and roll!RIP John Bonham❤️
Gilmour, Jimmy, and Jimi are the best to ever do it. JPJ’s bass and Bonham’s drums were fucking amazing. Led Zeppelin and Floyd are from another Planet.
When it comes to Led Zeppelin, I have Too many words, not enough words, and sometimes speechless. I have been listening to them for over 40 years and every single time I hear one of their songs, it still gives me chills.... even after hearing them thousands of times. Zeppelin all day every day! Please check out Babe I'm Gonna Leave you - the official audio. It's FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥
Love this performance and I am a huge Zeppelin fan growing up as a teenager in the 70's. They were just all so talented and creative and JPJ never got the attention he deserved. He's the silent magician in the background that kept it all together IMHO. With that said and I'm a Jimmy Page fanboy bar none, check out Jeff Beck's Live at Ronnie Scott's concert or just listen to his albums Beck-Ola, Truth or Blow by Blow and then think about who's up there as the greats of that era. Beck, Page and Clapton. You can't go wrong.
I have heard Jimmy say that this was a BITCH to play live ….because in the studio, he could layer several guitar parts…rhythm and lead ……and even the rhythm guitar here is a beast of a part…highly physically demanding……If your hands were not in shape, they would get shredded by this…..Itvwas never a favorite song by them for me, but the more I listen to it, the higher it gets in my list. JPJ’s bass line is gorgeous. Drums excellent. I think this must be the re-mixed version….the bass and drums are so forward in the mix, , which Jimmy often did when he re-worked these albums. And I remember Plants vocals originally being more prominent. I. Ould be wrong of course…..
When i was a kid I pulled this album out of my brothers huge album collection not knowing anything about Zeppelin and was hooked immediately. I was 10 years old 1974! I'm 60 and still blasting this!
John Bonham is simply mind blowing on this song. The tempo changes, fills……and that right foot……damn….all with 1 foot. This song, Achilles Last Stand, In My Time of Dying (and dozens of other songs) show off how Bonzo was just otherworldly on drums.
In that intro, probably the best application of the electric 12 string in rock. Jimmy is a master. Polo, you are right, that bass part is SUPER important to the feel. THX!
When he was talking about “ The Song Remains The Same “ he meant The live concert of the same name live from Madison Square garden back in the 70’s and it is AMAZING!!!! And shows how INCREDIBLE the hole band is live! You must watch that concert! One of the best performances EVER!!!!!
When I heard Joey Diaz say that, I assumed he was talking about the concert video where they recorded an entire concert at MSG in 1973. The film was released in 1976 and you can see the whole range of their music in a live performance. Definitely check it out! You won't be disappointed.
To have the greatest guitarist conversation, you have to have ritchie blackmore and Jeff beck in that conversation as well. They are rabbit holes you need to go down.
You should see them in concert! Jimmy plays like no other! He plays double necks and things you've never seen or even heard of!! Definitely one of the best if not the best!
The pace of the song is perfect for being right before "The Rain Song" the transition is profound, as is the entire Houses Of The Holy Album, my personal favorite compilation by them.
Definitely one of my favorite bands. Have you listened to King Crimson? Their first album came out about the same time as Led Zeppelin. Start with "The Hall of the Crimson King" then maybe "21st Century Schizoid Man" Their later music was also very good. I like the Red album and Three Out of a Perfect Pair.
Nice reaction...I've been loving Zep for almost 5 decades, and each tune never gets old. Hearing through your ears makes it brand new for me again. Thanks man.
There are many songs in Led Zeppelin‘s history to choose from but if you’re going for great guitar the jimmy page work he did on 10 years gone is my favorite❤
Genius level is the perfect term.. I enjoy watching you react to these Led Zeppelin songs. Would be nice to hear them for the first time again. Have a great day brother ✌🏼
Dear Polo.thank you for sharing your reactions with us, it's wonderful to feel again the joy and happiness of the time I heard this song myself for the first time. Next time you play it for yourself, you have to let it gently slide into The Rain Song, just as it is lined up on the LP, and just the way they played both of these songs together. These songs just knit together gorgeously, gloriously! I'm sure you will enjoy them together more! Much love and best wishes to you and to everyone here, young and old! XOXO
This is a fantastic album. A roller coaster of Rock & Roll! The “Song Remains the Same” is a Great song; super-high energy. It transitions immediately into the mellow, melodic “The Rain Song”
Other big ones of Led Zeppelin are How Many More Times, Trampled Underfood (live version in Earls Court), The Lemon Song, Ramble On, What is What Should Never Be, Heartbreaker (studio and live version in Earls Court), Rock and Roll, Four Sticks (scary but great), The Ocean. On a lower lever but also great, "Ten Years Gone", "Thank You", "That's the Way", "Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp", "In the Light", "You Shook Me", "Carouselambra", "Houses of the Holy", "Gallows Pole", "Tea For One, "Nobody's Fault but Mine", "Travelling Riverside Blues"
Oh no no no no and no , u missed the boat on this one. the live version from the live album of the same name where he plays a double neck gibson 12 string /6 string. he plays this entire song including solos on the 12 because this leads right into 'the rain song' which is physically impossible to play in standard tuning,so the 6 string is tuned in ( i believe G) an alternate tuning. so he goes from playing standard on a 12 string straight into alternate on 6 string with/out missing a single beat and playing some absolutely face melting jams!
I do find myself going for the live versions, but there are aspects of both versions that I really love. Listening to jimmy’s “guitarmy” on the studio versions is sublime. The live version of the rain song is a different animal. The tuning is definitely unique. I think it’s Jimmy’s invention. Only the B and G strings are tuned differently. Also, check out some of the counter-melodies JPJ plays on the mellotron. Like many Zep songs, there are so many things to discover with each listen.
My brother and sisters were quite a bit older than me so I just grew up listening to this and a lot of other great classic rock from them and my parents. Somewhere in my late teenage years I decided to put classic rock on a shelf and explore many other different artists and genres of music and I’m glad I did but I’ve started listening to Zeppelin again and I hear them with new ears and I know that they are my favorite band. They’re just simply incredible
Saw Led live in 1977 and they opened with this song after a delay of an hour. Crowd was stunned, shocked and ELECTRIFIED! I was pretty wasted until the lights went out and this song with such a powerful start began. I was immediately on my feet and experiencing something I will never forget. Love your reactions to this truly amazing, one of a kind, heavy metal Rock band. Please consider Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Carlos Santana when you mention Master Guitarists.
Of course, I absolutely love ALL of their catalog, but THIS is my favorite Zep album, and this is just a stunning opener!! I have the album on LP, cassette tape and CD!! Nice reaction!
My favourite Guitarist has to be Frank Zappa. I love many, including Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix. Frank's Solo's & instrumentals have so many faces & levels.
It's impossible to say which guitarists are the 'greatest' when there's so many genres and applications and time periods to consider, and the vast majority of musicians in the world, you have never heard or heard of. But I'll pick some of my fav's..... Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Bonamassa, Roy Clark, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and the list goes on... :)
Loved Polo “these guys are just showing off”. Having fun doing it too. How cool to just go to work hence recording studio and unleash this masterpiece.
This song is a guitar symphony. So many counter melodies. The number of killer riffs all interlocking. I’m not sure who the “greatest” is but he has got to be up there, and I’ve always considered this song his masterpiece.
These guys are astonishing, aren’t they?
And in their 20s thinking this amazing music up. Wow
Nothing about this era originated from boredom. There was pure inspiration in the air from '64 through '94, in all genres. It was the pinnacle of popular music as we know it. I was born in '59 and thoroughly enjoyed it all. As much as I wish it would, it's not likely that the same level of inspiration will ever happen again in our lifetimes.
We were fortunate living in the time we did.🇦🇺 1:16
We lived through the greatest creative musical renaissance since the Classical period, & ours very well may have eclipsed even that! So fortunate!
Agreed.
By bored I think Polo just means kids have so many distractions these days that it’s real hard for anyone to put in the time, dedication, focus, etc it takes to create at this level.

You need to see them perform this live MSG 1973. Amazing performance. You will love it.
The balls it took to make this new style of rock right after their masterpiece Led Zeppelin 4. Again that is why Page is a legend.
Good point
Led Zeppelin songs are like fingerprints.
Well put.
the live version of this that rolls right into the rain song from msg 73 is simply unbeatable! they all absolutelyt KILL it!! and then the rain song right after is just utterly beautiful!
They hung out in garages, basements, driveways, etc. with no cell phones and hung out and LIVED!
These guys weren’t board they were that good. They cranked out 5 all time classic multi platinum albums in 5 years. They had great chemistry and the stars aligned to give us the greatest band ever
Actually it was just 4 years and 2 months - from January 69 to March 72
Then they came out with a double album in February 75 - it’s just mind blowing
6 albums 6 years with physical graffiti, they are unmatched.
I think Page was definitely the best songwriting guitarist out of all of the GOATS.
Yep.
- and producer
@@helaina400 absolutely
Iommi is my other choice. Jimmi my #1 tho.
When I saw Jimmy pull out a bow and start ripping notes on his electric guitar, I knew the dude was unmatched.
Page is a great guitarist, writer and producer of most of their albums! He is a master musician!
Produced all of their albums!
Page is a musical wizard.
Page is pure musical genius.
The crazy thing about Page is that he’s almost as good a producer as guitarist. He always knew what sounds worked.
There is a concert film named The 'Song Remains the Same', it's an entire Led Zeppelin concert. It's been decades since I've seen it myself, but it may be what he was referencing. I like the drum riffs on Dyer Maker, because Bonham never repeats himself during the entire song and yet it works every time he does a riff in that song, somehow he times it perfectly.

We saw it numerous times at the Midnight Movies in the early 80s. 👍👍
Nobody is Led Zeppelin...NOBODY! The 4 greatest musicians to ever assemble!!!
plagiarists though
PERIOD !!!!
Facts
@@tacocanada1888 hahahahah yeah. right. go on. They did borrow and took some songs as an inspiration... show me an artist that did not. Plus, when you create 1% of what LZ have done, you are allowed to talk them down. Bye.
I 2nd that!
Houses of the Holy - Page's period of insane guitar overdubs. He literally created huge orchestral guitar parts. Could never be reproduced live.

I came here to post this as well. Check out the movie with this name, it is more of a showcase of his talents than this particular song.
The Song Remains the Same and The Rain Song live at MSG is one of my favourite performances, absolute mastery!
Absolutely. One of the greatest two song combos. The playing live exceeds the studio versions by 💯🙏🙏🙏
Led Zeppelin's musical composition is on a whole other level.
When he said that "The Song Remains the Same" is proof that he is the greatest guitarist ever, I think he meant the Led Zeppelin Movie, the live performance at MGS (The Song Remains the Same) Many legendary performances from that one live show
I think the guitar work in their Royal Albert hall concert is 1000x better myself
Jimmy made his guitar cry. Just a beautiful piece of work. ❤
Best performance in the history of 6 strings
Glad you correctly shouted out to the "gorgeous" bassline here. Some of JPJ's best bass work since the second album in this song.
Pages contributions to music will NEVER be matched by any other guitar player.
Polo simply the best at what he does more so than anyone on the Tube
Man these guys are the best out there. Check out 'over the hills and far away', 'ramble on', and 'rock and roll', you won't regret them.
There some of my favorites too!
Ramble On...killer track !
Zepplin’ is considered the greatest by a lot of people and you can see why.😜
After seeing LZ play this live 6 times I determined many yesrs ago that This is the greatest rock song ever recorded.....period!!
You like this best of all their songs?
@@michaelasay8587 Hard to say. I love most of their songs. Manu are complex and extremely creative but

"Ten Years Gone" by Led Zeppelin. Epic track.
Led Zeppelin is a indescribable ❤❤❤❤
Somehow they pull this off live and it's almost better, they're a freak show in every good way. MSG 1973 please watch
HAMMER OF THE GODS.....Peace!
Yes
Your channel feels like sitting around in the evening listening to music with my most intelligent friend. So very cool. Thank you!

It wasn’t called rock and roll that was the Elvis era. This was Blues Rock very much a British rock sound at the time .
i was there and that's what we called it in America ,,PERIOD
I did come of age then. So lucky to have seen them 5 times. Four of them on their first American tour! ❤❤
good times eh?, ever get to a pink floyd show ?. they say if you can remember it , you weren't really there ...lol@@susansquire7968
ZOSO Forever!
The live version from the album of the same name may be the most explosive rock guitar playing ever. You gotta hear it, especially paired with The Rain Song. The pinnacle of rock music.
That's why Zeppelin is the greatest rock and roll band ever.... They do not have one bad song, everything they have is fantastic they are The benchmark for rock and roll
Not one bad song?
I taught myself this song on the drums ;) It's very fun to play. Not bad for a 58 year old grandmother.
The Rain Song isone of my most favorite songs of all time
Now imagine hearing this in a smoky basement/garage in the 1970s AND hearing the whole album...ah, those were the days, my friend. ❤ 13:48
Hahahahahahahaha--"I left Earth!" Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Ohhhhh, this was tremendous! You were a joy to behold, Polo! So glad you enjoyed this as much as we have!

@POLO REACTS
This is my ringtone.
Gilmour, Jimmy, and Jimi are the best to ever do it. JPJ’s bass and Bonham’s drums were fucking amazing. Led Zeppelin and Floyd are from another Planet.
Led Zepplin were the Overlords!
The live soundtrack, The Song Remains the Same, is the showcase that cannot be equaled

Ugh, for Beck I should've added Wired.
Go see Get The LED Out when they’re in your area.
It’ll bring you back to the 70’s.
Have you ever listened closely to the great counter-melodies JPJ plays on the live version of Rain Song? Gorgeous. Agreed, he’s very underrated.
I have heard Jimmy say that this was a BITCH to play live ….because in the studio, he could layer several guitar parts…rhythm and lead ……and even the rhythm guitar here is a beast of a part…highly physically demanding……If your hands were not in shape, they would get shredded by this…..Itvwas never a favorite song by them for me, but the more I listen to it, the higher it gets in my list.

ZEPPELIN RULES!!!
The bass is definitely the stand out on this track
Playing lead and rhythm at the same time absolutely the best 😮
The live version from Madison Square Gardens 1973 is second to none. So much better than even this studio version 👍
When i was a kid I pulled this album out of my brothers huge album collection not knowing anything about Zeppelin and was hooked immediately. I was 10 years old 1974! I'm 60 and still blasting this!
7:17 One of the tastiest guitar riffs ever recorded, pure bliss. What an incredible band

When talking of guitarists, SRV must be mentioned as a GOAT candidate.
No doubt about it
To have the greatest guitarist conversation, you have to have ritchie blackmore and Jeff beck in that conversation as well.
They are rabbit holes you need to go down.
Amen 🙏🏻
You should see them in concert! Jimmy plays like no other! He plays double necks and things you've never seen or even heard of!! Definitely one of the best if not the best!
I love how proggy and unpredictable this album is. It’s top 3 Zep for me
The pace of the song is perfect for being right before "The Rain Song" the transition is profound, as is the entire Houses Of The Holy Album, my personal favorite compilation by them.
That bass that dam bass🎉🎉🎉🎉 Damm D Marco
Definitely one of my favorite bands.
Have you listened to King Crimson? Their first album came out about the same time as Led Zeppelin. Start with "The Hall of the Crimson King" then maybe "21st Century Schizoid Man"
Their later music was also very good. I like the Red album and Three Out of a Perfect Pair.
Led Zeppelin songs are so complex they are channeled from the Devine!
See the "Celebration Day" reunion concert to see them, 30 plus years later, showing the youngsters how it's done!
Nice reaction...I've been loving Zep for almost 5 decades, and each tune never gets old. Hearing through your ears makes it brand new for me again. Thanks man.
There are many songs in Led Zeppelin‘s history to choose from but if you’re going for great guitar the jimmy page work he did on 10 years gone is my favorite❤
Wizards do make the best music, it's spiritual alchemy
Genius level is the perfect term.. I enjoy watching you react to these Led Zeppelin songs. Would be nice to hear them for the first time again. Have a great day brother ✌🏼
Dear Polo.thank you for sharing your reactions with us, it's wonderful to feel again the joy and happiness of the time I heard this song myself for the first time. Next time you play it for yourself, you have to let it gently slide into The Rain Song, just as it is lined up on the LP, and just the way they played both of these songs together. These songs just knit together gorgeously, gloriously! I'm sure you will enjoy them together more!
Much love and best wishes to you and to everyone here, young and old! XOXO
I love how the intro to every Zeppelin song effs Polo up and I love how it still effs me up fifty years later
i mean wow man, song after song after song....what a treasure to have lived in the time of Zepplin
This song and Over the Hills and Far Away are two of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Give that a listen if you haven’t yet 😊
Led Zeppelin is as great as musical genius gets
Not Bored ... Excited in Life to make changes ... Excited to be their best in their life - definitely not bored ! The opposite of bored !
He said that since I been loving you is Jimmy's best work
This is a fantastic album. A roller coaster of Rock & Roll!
The “Song Remains the Same” is a Great song; super-high energy. It transitions immediately into the mellow, melodic “The Rain Song”
Other big ones of Led Zeppelin are How Many More Times, Trampled Underfood (live version in Earls Court), The Lemon Song, Ramble On, What is What Should Never Be, Heartbreaker (studio and live version in Earls Court), Rock and Roll, Four Sticks (scary but great), The Ocean. On a lower lever but also great, "Ten Years Gone", "Thank You", "That's the Way", "Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp", "In the Light", "You Shook Me", "Carouselambra", "Houses of the Holy", "Gallows Pole", "Tea For One, "Nobody's Fault but Mine", "Travelling Riverside Blues"
Oh no no no no and no , u missed the boat on this one. the live version from the live album of the same name where he plays a double neck gibson 12 string /6 string. he plays this entire song including solos on the 12 because this leads right into 'the rain song' which is physically impossible to play in standard tuning,so the 6 string is tuned in ( i believe G) an alternate tuning. so he goes from playing standard on a 12 string straight into alternate on 6 string with/out missing a single beat and playing some absolutely face melting jams!
Yes, 1973 MSG in New York, live
I do find myself going for the live versions, but there are aspects of both versions that I really love. Listening to jimmy’s “guitarmy” on the studio versions is sublime.
The live version of the rain song is a different animal. The tuning is definitely unique. I think it’s Jimmy’s invention. Only the B and G strings are tuned differently. Also, check out some of the counter-melodies JPJ plays on the mellotron. Like many Zep songs, there are so many things to discover with each listen.
4:30 Out of all of the incredible guitar work that Jimmy has put in this riff in particular just makes me happy
My brother and sisters were quite a bit older than me so I just grew up listening to this and a lot of other great classic rock from them and my parents. Somewhere in my late teenage years I decided to put classic rock on a shelf and explore many other different artists and genres of music and I’m glad I did but I’ve started listening to Zeppelin again and I hear them with new ears and I know that they are my favorite band. They’re just simply incredible
Zeppelin is so good that the Symphony in our city had an all-Zeppelin night.
I’ve been listening to this since I was a kid and @4:40 my soul leaves my body every time. That’s such a good riff
Saw Led live in 1977 and they opened with this song after a delay of an hour. Crowd was stunned, shocked and ELECTRIFIED! I was pretty wasted until the lights went out and this song with such a powerful start began. I was immediately on my feet and experiencing something I will never forget.
Love your reactions to this truly amazing, one of a kind, heavy metal Rock band.
Please consider Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Carlos Santana when you mention Master Guitarists.
Of course, I absolutely love ALL of their catalog, but THIS is my favorite Zep album, and this is just a stunning opener!! I have the album on LP, cassette tape and CD!! Nice reaction!
So much respect for JPJ for just keeping up with jimmy 😮
I crank this up to 11
My favourite Guitarist has to be Frank Zappa. I love many, including Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix. Frank's Solo's & instrumentals have so many faces & levels.
Not bored, just magically talented.
Zeppelin live is another level
You gotta understand this was their 5th studio album by this point they were just flexin on fools
It's impossible to say which guitarists are the 'greatest' when there's so many genres and applications and time periods to consider, and the vast majority of musicians in the world, you have never heard or heard of. But I'll pick some of my fav's..... Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Bonamassa, Roy Clark, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and the list goes on... :)
This song is incredible -- it's like they're all soloing at the same time.
Loved Polo “these guys are just showing off”. Having fun doing it too. How cool to just go to work hence recording studio and unleash this masterpiece.
This song is a guitar symphony. So many counter melodies. The number of killer riffs all interlocking. I’m not sure who the “greatest” is but he has got to be up there, and I’ve always considered this song his masterpiece.
Zeppelin went off on this track.
In fact, dazed and confused and whole lotta love from the the song remains the same live album are the baddest guitar work ever
