It's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones playing in unison. But the bass guitar is an octave below the guitar, just on the same notes. It works so well and it just sounds so nasty, but the blend of the two textures with that bass down really deep but tracking right along with the guitar and giving all this incredible thickness in the low end, and then the guitar is more piercing and can be a bit more specific and you hear the rhythmic pics on the strings and just Oddball little twists and bends that he's doing. Then you put them all together and it's fantastic. And that's just one layer of the song during that part!
It's more that they naturally follow on that way on the record album. Robert Plant doesn't finish the final word 'heartbreaker' before 'Livin' Lovin' Maid' cuts in.
That is a fascinating observation there at the end about Heartbreaker and possibly also having descriptive meaning on some level about the structure and the feel of the song in its different sections. Love it. ❤️
You're just now commenting on the second song and one more thing I would throw on to those descriptions, would be that it gets so funky there. And it will do it again. John Paul Jones and John Bonham are just rock solid, and then they shift effortlessly into this still rock but really funky thing, and then right back into the driving beat.
Lol. That's the beauty of this really strong album is that every one of the songs on this album totally kick ass, each in its own way. None are better than the others because they're all insanely great. They're just different. And the track sequencing on this album is wonderful as well, it gets right to what you were saying about oh I wish they would have maybe done a ballad at the end or some kind of switch up just to make it longer. Well don't worry, because they think about that with the track sequencing. So they build you up to want that, and then they deliver it to you in the next song. It's pretty good at creating tension and anticipation and then relaxing it. Then repeat. 😊
Jimmy Page wrote Living Loving Maid, and he didn’t like it. He said he was to cynical when he wrote it. They never played it live as LED Zeppelin. I think Robert Plant later played it.
The Lemon Song over Whole Lotta Love? I don't know about that one.... Lemon song is like 4th on this album for me. Tough choices Mugs but as usual great reaction!!
@@blitz3643 or over What Is and Ramble On. I think our man's preference is towards the more blues based, rather than folk/pop, stuff. I can't argue with his conclusion about Bring it on Home though
Fans in the U.S. loved these songs back to back, and that's the way they were always played. But it was not intended to be that way by the band, and they never played them back to back. In fact they never played Living Loving Maid in concert at all. Page never liked the track.
Hey Muggs ..just love your reactions to Zeppelin. Love going down the rabbithole with you. Great reaction and please check out April Wine...Roller extended version. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️BTW not Jimi Hendrix style..Jimmy Page style 😂
In the late 60s and early 70s, bands were shooting for people to listen to ALBUMS and not singles. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin laid out their albums so that the track list always seemed to flow into each other. A lot of time was devoted to determining the order of the tracks for that perfect flow. Pink Floyd usually has one song bleeding right into the next..
The WhoSampled website says Ice-T sampled "Heartbreaker" for "Our Most Requested Record (Long Version)" from 1987. So have you been listening to old school hip-hop? As for what is what in that riff, the bass guitar is typically used to play the lowest notes in a riff, often an octave or two octaves lower than what the guitar is playing. But both instruments are strung the same way so its very easy to double up to thicken the sound of a riff by playing it on both instruments simultaneously. PS "Living Loving Maid" is what the "Heartbreaker" becomes ten years later.
in the 1970s, 80s and 90. If Heartbreaker was played Living loving maid automatically played after. It is just like We will Rock you/we are the Champions from Queen. Always played together.
We put on Side 1 and rocked hard till we flipped it to Side 2, that's the way it was done. Bring your smoke or drink of choice and let it all go for a while.
This is my wheelhouse. Led Zeppelin had the blessing of witnessing America's Blues in England where race was irrelevant. The group used a lot of the rifts they learned from the blues. 🏴☠
The guitar solo in Heartbreaker was done as an overdub, days after the rest of the song. It is actually just a touch out of tune from the rest of the song. Jimmy did not notice this until decades later when asked and he listened to it again and heard a light sharpness.
At 6:40 you’re talking about the song structure and ‘paragraphs’ Black Sabbath and Metallica were known for that too. Not sure what bands do that nowadays.
These 2 songs go so well together, like a fine wine. 🍷
Both bass and guitar doing the riff
That's how the vinyl went, no dead space between, and how it was played on the radio too... thank you Mug!!!

You got it right ....that's how you play them. Awesome.
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤
Wait til you hear Trampled Under Foot. That is one funky jam.
Did you know that JPJ was inspired to write that song after listening to Stevie Wonder’s song “Superstition“? You can hear the similarities.
@@MsAppassionata Yes, you definitely can.
Great reaction! Looking forward to more Zep reviews.
I was just listening to this,..then Boom!! I see you reacting to it!! Holy!! Good stuff Muggs,keep em coming!!
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
Love your reactions! Thanks.❤
We didn't come up with playing these 2 songs together. The radio stations did.
It's more that they naturally follow on that way on the record album. Robert Plant doesn't finish the final word 'heartbreaker' before 'Livin' Lovin' Maid' cuts in.
Yup!❤

Jimmy's solo inspired Eddie van halen to do his own solo. Called Eruption
Damn never knew that! Thanks mang!

John Paul Jones and John Bonham are just rock solid, and then they shift effortlessly into this still rock but really funky thing, and then right back into the driving beat.
Thank you for playing it the right way!
The solo for this inspired me to play guitar. Absolutely brilliant stuff
It's a Page guitar riff but JPJ mirrors it on bass

Bass and Gtr., riding together in that riff
They match great together the rocky gritty heartbreaker and the warm poppy livin loving maid

@@RobONeill-b5eTrue... All tough calls. I think you're right about the blues stuff. Makes total sense why he chose those two.

Listen to the low sound behind. That's JPJ killin' it as always.
BEST Band EVER!!!

But, I believe The Beatles did it first.

That is Jimmy's Les Paul guitar, not the bass. The bass in not in that intro.
The load out and stay too 😅
Heartbreaker!
We put on Side 1 and rocked hard till we flipped it to Side 2, that's the way it was done. Bring your smoke or drink of choice and let it all go for a while.
The bass and guitar are playing the same notes together.

While I have your attention. Check out the group Living Colour and especially the song. Cult of Personality. trust me.
It’s probably on some tv show or commercial or something

The vibe stayed the same. It's all blues.
Too many pauses, dear
