Taking someone’s Led Zeppelin journey for the first Time is so enjoyable. I’ve been listening to and loving Led Zeppelin since 1973 and love to watch the appreciation and or surprise on the faces of the newbies. Also I get reminded again of why I anticipated and purchased every new record that came out once discovered. Music stores used to be the spot for young people to hang out.
@ JAM Same here, it was '73 when I started smoking weed and loving Zeppelin, although I loved Stairway to Heaven when it came out in '71, but I was a big Beatles fan then
And just bringing new records to your mates house and listening in the bedroom and feeling the cover art and the vinyl and it was just great. I agree this is the closest thing.
@@emmanuelflores9983 Nobody in the world could get that sound John Bonham could get on drums! The Lemon song showcases him and John Paul Jones on bass.
I've been listening to Led Zep for over 3 decades and if I was to pick a favorite song this would probably be it. The way it blends the elements of folk and rock, acoustic and electric, heavy and soft...is absolute perfection and crystallizes the essence of the band. The outro is absolutely mind blowing with the overdubbing of Plant's vocals.
Wow, I really like how you describe the song. It’s full of juxtapositions and I love that. A concept that would’ve seemed far fetched for many, but completely reasonable for this band!
@@emmanuelflores9983 thanks Emmanuel. Can't wait to see your reaction to Bring it on home...the last track on this album. I think you will be impressed.
Same, I’m in my 30s and my dad introduced me to zeplin when I was like 6/7. I remember not understanding the music I was listening to was from the past and wanting to marry Robert plant 🤣. Ramble on was always my fave! Then over the hills and far away, going to California, and dyer maker.
Their music just grabs you doesn't it ... still no bad song huh lol ... so much more to go, so many more great songs all the way to the end .... I love your reactions, keep it up
God but i fucking LOVE this band. Saw them first time in 1970 at a university west of London,they were special,seen them many times since then,best one was at knebworth '78.
This band has given me a new appreciation for bass playing. It’s incredible how impactful the instrument can be to a song when it’s utilized as the lead!!
I bought "Led Zeppelin II" as soon as it was released in 1969 and 51 years later "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love" are STILL my favorites among so many great cuts on the album. Really enjoy watching your reactions.
Thank You for doing this, and taking me back to those carefree days driving up with friends as kids to the many nearby hotsprings in the mountains here, dosed very heavily on LSD, as colors just pouring out of the speakers with each not of Jimmy John John and Roberts impeccability. I can not even begin to describe the feelings of happenstance, wanderlust, anxiety mixed with calm, and sorry mixed with joy as we went into the nights wilderness with complete reckless abandon yet complete confidence as we knew Led Zeppelin would always Bring us On Home. And yes, many times we found that wizard I tell you what,, growing up, was like Gollum, and the Evil one, crept up and slipped away with her... (My Precious, My Youth). GOD Bless!!!
You did I hope find the passages to Lord of the Rings---- Mine's a tale that can't be told My freedom I hold dear How years ago in days of old When magic filled the air 'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum, and the evil one Crept up and slipped away with her Her, her, yeah
Yes, back in those days I remember a lot of us kids read Talkien's "The Lord of the Rings". I was 11 years old when Led Zeppelin I album came out. I never heard anything like it before. It was like "the sound you always wanted to hear but never dear asking for it"? I remember my jaw droping to the floor while the needle of vinil record player came to the end of the LP and feeling like "... I want more..."!!!!
Try "When the Levee Breaks" Its so hypnotic that it grabs you and keeps you. Look up how Bonzo recorded the drums for that track,or rather WHERE ! *Be Warned* the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep and you will never be the same again. Happy Hunting.
Yeah they pretty much ruin you for any other band 😂😂😂 100% on your entire comment. There’s a reason they are still considered the greatest heavy rock band of all time
One of my all time fave Zep songs. As soon as I hear that bass line it takes me right back to camping at the Colorado River under the stars on a hot summer night. Many Lord Of The Rings references in this one
Good reaction. Great song! I’ve heard that people weren’t sure what Bonzo was playing in the beginning and subsequent verses, a guitar case, the seat he uses when he’s playing who knows.
It’s been almost a year and such a difficult year for everyone. I really enjoyed your reaction videos and the direction your journey was taking. Many people benefitted from the mental break these kinds of videos provided during the early stages of the pandemic. I hope you are doing well.
One of my favorites!! The greatest band of all time!! Did you get The Lord Of The Rings reference? "darkest days of Mordor, Gollum, the evil one..."🎶🎶👏
Hey Emmanuel how you doin pal loving your reactions very genuine glad to be joining you on your journey, now the thing is Led Zeppelin has been a major part of my life for the best part of 50 years and I know what’s in front of you, prepare yourself for much magical majesty there really is nothing on earth that compares with Led Zeppelins body of work. Keep reacting,keep enjoying,keep real ,looking foreword to your next instalment 🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your review. This is one of my favorite songs by any artist for many of the reasons you noted. You mentioned it felt like a quest in the woods with a wizard. Did you catch the Lord or the Rings direct reference? A couple other LZ songs touch on the Lord or the Rings too. Fun Easter eggs. Jackson in his LOR movies gave a nod back to LZ.
Whenever I listen to this song it gives me goosebumps. The sound JPJ's smooth bass line and Jimmy Page starting off on the acoustic and moving to his number 1 guitar as he changes up the dynamics. People who are Lord of Ring Fans, listen closely and they mention different characters. One of my favorite tunes, that and Ten Years Gone.
Great song great review love how the song fades left to right and how they over layed his voice as if their is two singers at the song end I look forward to your reviews even davidsl Bowie's space odyssey your right being older you appreciate the nuances of it great job on that on too
Believe it or not, Bonham was there throughout. That soft pattering during the verses was him pattering with his hands on a guitar case (or something, because I've seen different stories). Two, of the many, things Jimmy was good at; letting instruments shine and not burying them in the mix, and layering several guitar parts to create a lush sonic image (he called it his "guitar army"). Thanks for the reaction.
This is one of the best albums ever. There are very few albums where every song is good. You might want to try Black Sabbeths first album, or The Who's "Who's Next". Emerson Lake And Palmer"s first album is also unbelievably good. They are all from this same few years. I would suggest Beatles albums but they would be blocked instantly. "The Yes Album" is wonderful, and so is "A Question Of Balance" by The Moody Blues". The Rolling Stones "Beggars Banquet" was great and shows how incredibly tallented they were, exploring blues, rock, and country all on one album. It was a great time to be alive.
Now that you have gone deep into Zep, here is suggestion that is a slight deviation. Search for Yoyoka Good Times Bad Times. It is Zeppelin playing the song with an eight year old Japanese girl playing the drums. Phenomenal. It may not be something you want to react to but you should still check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Have you heard any Steven Wilson. I think Home Invasion/Regret Number9 would be a great song to do this type of video with if you haven't heard it before.
One of my favourite basslines, just to start. But the beginning of Jimmy Page's light/heavy mantra that would carry the band over the line into superstardom in the years to come. And rightly so.
You should really react to ledzeppelin live at paris teater 1971 its one of the best perfomences the ever had especialy thank you and going to california since you like them so much
Robert Plant did this song with "The Band of Joy" . That's their real name and you can find it on TH-cam. The Band of Joy is very good or Robert Plant would not bother with them.
react to highway tune by Greta Van Fleet! they’re basically a modern day led zeppelin, their style and vocals sound sooo similar it’s almost unbelievable
I’d like to recommend you a band called Metallica. They are the Led Zeppelin of the 80’s but rock and roll had already fallen off by then. A good start is with a song they made called, “Fade To Black”. The guitarist, Kirk Hammet, is the greatest guitar soloist I’ve ever heard and maybe better than Jimmie. You should give them a listen at least once. They are the most successful American band for a reason.
Do yourself a huge favor. Buy LedZeppelin BBC Sessions. Its a live album from 2 different "for radio" concerts. Also please react to "Thank You" from Page/Plant Unledded. Lifelong Zephead, you will be glad you did.
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we tried our hand at an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music lovers, we'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on our channel. Don't go too hard on us :)
The bass is some of JP's best work . So underrated

@@brittanygarrison8030 no doubt, it was something we took for granted, but we now realize we grew up during the best time ever for rock music
@@emmanuelflores9983
Nobody in the world could get that sound John Bonham could get on drums! The Lemon song showcases him and John Paul Jones on bass.
bassline is literally perfection
Keep rambling on!!!✌️JPJ just sets the mood!
I've been listening to Zeppelin for over 50 years. First time summer of 69. They absolutely blew me away then and still do now. WoW. WoW.

I have to agree; stick a gun to my head, I’ll most likely pick this one.
Their music just grabs you doesn't it ... still no bad song huh lol ... so much more to go, so many more great songs all the way to the end .... I love your reactions, keep it up
Still no bad song, it’s mental how good this band is!
JPJ baseline on this song is sick....there are You Tube videos isolating the bass from this song, and it's well worth the listen.
Gonna check that, JPJ went crazy on this one!
Jpj is insane highly underestimated
@@emmanuelflores9983 That’s John Bonham taping on Jimmy Page’s guitar 🎸 case “ Trivia “‘
@@davidbird8828 No he’s not “
Thank you for presenting the studio version.
God but i fucking LOVE this band.
Saw them first time in 1970 at a university west of London,they were special,seen them many times since then,best one was at knebworth '78.
The bass!! Jesus Christ, that bass!!❤️👏
Nice. Beato pulls this song completely apart, really good to watch.
Maybe my favorite bass lines on any LZ song. Deserves a listen just for the bass alone
Love this song. Glad you did too.
When this song is on my Xm radio station in the car I'm cranking it all the way up.
If only radio stations played these amazing jewels. The well known ones are amazing but LZ has everything for everyone!!
According to radio stations Zeppelin only has three songs 😂😂😂
I automatically love any song where the bass plays lead.
This band has given me a new appreciation for bass playing. It’s incredible how impactful the instrument can be to a song when it’s utilized as the lead!!
Make sure you look up the excerpt from "it might get loud" where Page plays this. Absolutely magical
Loving your reaction bro...
Isn't this a great one? Awesome! I think the drums are a real subtle rhythmic sound during the verses...that sort of "walking" sound behind the bass.
Noticed that upon second listen!!
Great reaction. Thanks for sharing this. Beautiful.
Yeah man that bass line is awesome. Fun to play as well.
Led zeppelin rocks🤘
This album was glued to many arms, in the day! (:
The guitar short at 2:36 still amazes me more than 45 years later!
Did you catch the Lord of the Rings references? Plant was a fan of the books and has other references in other songs. Enjoy-
I prefer "Battle of Evermore" but yeah, pretty cool hearing those and being like "Hey!"
Great Reaction to a great song.
Great reaction man, its otherworldly
Robert Plant sang the outro mixed scat wonderful vocals in NY and LA studios during touring and they were combined. No one comes close. Brilliant.
Thank you for the audio version... no video needed.
There is not a bad Zeppelin tune. 😎👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I bought "Led Zeppelin II" as soon as it was released in 1969 and 51 years later "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love" are STILL my favorites among so many great cuts on the album. Really enjoy watching your reactions.

I can not even begin to describe the feelings of happenstance, wanderlust, anxiety mixed with calm, and sorry mixed with joy as we went into the nights wilderness with complete reckless abandon yet complete confidence as we knew Led Zeppelin would always Bring us On Home. And yes, many times we found that wizard
I tell you what,, growing up, was like Gollum, and the Evil one, crept up and slipped away with her... (My Precious, My Youth).
GOD Bless!!!
It's one of my favorite LZ songs (they all are), but it is my ring tone. I think of it as the Sagittarian theme song.
Listen to Bonham's drums -- he's the glue!
Donna Ransom Bonzo and Roger Taylor of Queen are the GOAT drummers
It's so hard to actually play this song right on the drums
You did I hope find the passages to Lord of the Rings----
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Yes, back in those days I remember a lot of us kids read Talkien's "The Lord of the Rings". I was 11 years old when Led Zeppelin I album came out. I never heard anything like it before.

This is one of my fave Zeppelin song.
This is the first reaction of yours that I've watched and you have another subscriber. Well done!
Try "When the Levee Breaks"
Its so hypnotic that it grabs you and keeps you.
Look up how Bonzo recorded the drums for that track,or rather WHERE !
*Be Warned* the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep and you will never be the same again.
Happy Hunting.
Yeah they pretty much ruin you for any other band 😂😂😂 100% on your entire comment. There’s a reason they are still considered the greatest heavy rock band of all time
Bass guitar heaven! Hobbit references and tight guitar work...my favourite Zep song!
One of my all time fave Zep songs. As soon as I hear that bass line it takes me right back to camping at the Colorado River under the stars
on a hot summer night. Many Lord Of The Rings references in this one
They do this live on Celebration day 2007 with Jason Bonham on drums. 17 years after they broke up and Its brilliant and JPJ smashes it.
Good reaction. Great song! I’ve heard that people weren’t sure what Bonzo was playing in the beginning and subsequent verses, a guitar case, the seat he uses when he’s playing who knows.
Yeah I hear it’s the bottom of a garbage can he’s “playing” lol
It’s been almost a year and such a difficult year for everyone. I really enjoyed your reaction videos and the direction your journey was taking. Many people benefitted from the mental break these kinds of videos provided during the early stages of the pandemic. I hope you are doing well.
Best ever Zep song!!!
One of my favorites!! The greatest band of all time!! Did you get The Lord Of The Rings reference? "darkest days of Mordor, Gollum, the evil one..."🎶🎶👏
He's got the "stank face"
totally agree - like in a forest heading towards a wizard. Very British.
I really enjoy your reactions. Skip Moby Dick. You HAVE TO WATCH IT FROM 1970 Royal Albert Hall. There is no other way
Joseph Linnell Mmmmm, I’m not sure. Listen to the album version then watch Albert Hall to see what John Bonham did with it when let loose?
LZ.... GOAT....PERIOD!!!!
Hey Emmanuel how you doin pal loving your reactions very genuine glad to be joining you on your journey, now the thing is Led Zeppelin has been a major part of my life for the best part of 50 years and I know what’s in front of you, prepare yourself for much magical majesty there really is nothing on earth that compares with Led Zeppelins body of work.
Keep reacting,keep enjoying,keep real ,looking foreword to your next instalment 🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Love this! Thanks a lot Steve, appreciate you watching and supporting!!
You are doing this correct. Zep has to be done in order and entirely
A little LOTR reference huh? Sneaky Gollum. Yes JPJ set the mood fat n fuzzy. Great song n as always reaction is spot on KEEP RAMBLIN✌️
One of at least three of their songs with LOTR allusions. The others being Stairway and Battle of Evermore.
So unbelievably familiar is this to me now that I often attempt to sing ALL the overdubs on the playout. As you do...
Thank you for your review. This is one of my favorite songs by any artist for many of the reasons you noted. You mentioned it felt like a quest in the woods with a wizard. Did you catch the Lord or the Rings direct reference? A couple other LZ songs touch on the Lord or the Rings too. Fun Easter eggs. Jackson in his LOR movies gave a nod back to LZ.
Led Zeppelin III will be fun
sooo goood!
There's just not a single bad Zeppelin song...they're all great!

Noticed that upon second listen but could not distinguish what that sound was. A guitar case?!? That’s awesome.
BASS....JPJ is a god. But this shows how diverse they are as this is very bluesy while being a rocker....
With folk accoustic guitar sound included.
Thank God for the Fender Telecaster

So this guy just appeared ou of nowhere, did a few of the best reactions on YT and vanished? I hope he comes back someday
The girl is the ring
Battle of Evermore
,and In My Time of Dying
Have you heard any Steven Wilson. I think Home Invasion/Regret Number9 would be a great song to do this type of video with if you haven't heard it before.
Check out the Lemon Song. The Base line is a Beast!!

Where ya been bro?
Imagine that you are 12 years old hearing this.
You're going to rank all the songs? Good luck.😄
Yeah we’ll see how it goes 😂 Looking to have some fun with it!
react to highway tune by Greta Van Fleet!
they’re basically a modern day led zeppelin, their style and vocals sound sooo similar it’s almost unbelievable
expand yuour reacts to , maybe Angra or Hammerfall. they are great bands
LOTR reference!
Just gonna ask the mortician to push play and have this song at my funeral.
john paul jones is a great bass player

only song where john Paul, is powerful than john Bonham the bass line was the song

i still think bonzo is the backbone o the group..
Lord of the Rings...influence...
Boycott Greedy TH-cam spread the word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing in over a year. Must be in prison.
