So many great bands. For 1970’s Gentle Giant “Three Friends” for 1990’s and still playing Aryeon (Universe Live) Polo, once you hear this you will be hooked. Arjen Lucassen is a genius. Try the “The Day The World Breaks Down”, video on TH-cam. I guarantee you will be gobsmacked!
I’ve absolutely loved this song ever since I was a little kid. Very unconventional song but it’s an absolute banger. Everyone is firing on all cylinders
My favorite lyrics in this is “squeeze me baby till the juice runs down my leg, the way you squeeze my Lemmon till I fall right out of bed”🤣 I love it, classic led zepp
The critics at the time didn’t like them because they weren’t traditional. They wanted to hear standard blues and not “taking the blues, twisting it and turning on its head” like Jimmy said.
Before there was Tool there was Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is foundational to most rock sound since. Elvis Presley met them. He had an entire floor at a hotel and Zeppelin was invited to meet him there. Zeppelin’s crowds were bigger than Elvis’ crowds, at this point, but he was the King. You should see the story of when they met!
Presley's shows all sold out in the 70s. Elvis and Zep were the two top touring acts in the country during that period; they had the same booking agent.
Squeeze my lemon is originally a Robert Johnson line > Mississippi Delta Blues artist> Traveling Riverside Blues , Also quoted Albert King's Killing Floor
This is one of my favorite John Paul Jones songs for Led Zeppelin. Guitar, drums and vocals are amazing as usual, but the bass makes this song walk, run and groove.
Misty Mountain Hop, Dyer Makr, Trampled Under Foot, Bring it On Home, Ramble on, What is and What Should Never Be, Going to California.. those should get ya through the year lol
There is no bandwagoning when it comes to being a zep fan, or enjoying them. They were, and in some ways still are, the biggest rebel indy band ever. They were huge in spite of critics and media. And the master class and maturity in their playing and composition just says man, you appreciate greatness. That's all. Don't worry about perception.
Tool is your favorite and Led Zeppelin is your top five... you're young. If you haven't figured it out by now, if there was no Led Zeppelin, there would be no Tool or any of the other bands that you might recognize that came out in the 80s or later. No disrespect to you, I am a fan of your channel.
@@shannontreiber1070 For sure! Everyone on this thread who's interested in Rock Influences will very likely find a certain reaction extremely satisfying. I'm talking about "Vin and Sori" channel hearing Sabbath's "Fairies wear boots." As the cool-ass outro fades off, Vin yells "NO!!" cos he doesn't want it to end, then he and his girl Sori freak themselves out as it dawns on them that Sabbath was likely THE influence behind their beloved Korn, Metallica, Maiden, Tool, etc, lol!
The weird thing about LZ is that Page and Jones being studio musicians, they write their songs like kids in the candy store of all music (watch out for Page's record collection in interviews filmed at home) and STILL the result is completely unlike the parts they took and altered. It is no exaggeration to say LZ is not just a band, it's a genre of it's own. That -imho- is what makes them so special, you can hold it against any other music and it will stand out for being different. As for Plant's singing, he sings like a guitar or harmonica would solo.
great comment at 5:38 The sign of a great band when you can focus in on every one of the members. Kinda like Tool! Also the "squeeze my lemon" lyric goes all the way back to 1937 in songs by Arthur McKay and Robert Johson. Robert Plant is a student of the Delta Blues!
This is why Led Zeppelin II is their best album. Such a great comment on the individual instruments and concentrating on them....I love bass and this is a Master Class in that, but of course the rest is fantastic too, of course.
Polo --- I have to laugh because you want to think you are in control of the music you BELIEVE you are going to like or not like and that just isn't the case with music that Led Zeppelin created. As Rod Serling creator of the TV show The Twilight Zone says in the intro to the show, You are no longer in control your mind is no longer yours, you've entered The Twilight Zone. I was paraphrasing, not quoting. With Led Zeppelin you are along for a ride and at first you think you don't like it, it's not fun, it's not what you want to hear, but you are already rolling down the pathway and you can't jump off and then that feeling of not liking the ride turns to wonder and then you start to enjoy the ride, you roll the window down and you are moving faster and you want your seatbelt but there is no seatbelt. You are thrilled and laughing at your excitement that you've never been in a vehicle that you are either going to crash and get hurt or you're gonna have the ride of your life if you just take it in and enjoy the ride.
@@003333333333 --- hahahaha, that is funny. You are right,. It is very much that same kind of ride. After the boat ride Veruca Salt's father said "what a nightmare" And Veruca says she definitely doesn't want that boat, after saying she wants the boat before they go into the tunnel. Mike Teevee's mom keeps saying she's gonna get sick. Lol
I like this metaphor. I agree with it. I'm also glad you let me roll down my window because I might want a cigarette. With LZ, I know the roads well enough that I don't want a seatbelt. I just bounce around.
JPJ makes it soo easy to focus on that bass line. He just doesn’t stop. What a romance - he buys us dinner & drinks, courts us, and proposes all in one single song. ♥️
I have been listening to LZ since I'm 14 & my older brother got a guitar & all of their albums. I stumbled across your video reacting to Led Zeppelin & was amazed that your reactions made me emote out loud. Like YES!!! That's exactly what I felt. It's impossible for me to choose just one song to recommend although I've probably thought way too much about that. I'm along for the ride at this point. ✌
You can tell from their ease in playing it that this song is Zep's stock-in-tade type of noise. They lay it down with such confidence that you can almost physically hear that they know the blues inside out. I wouldn't be surprised if this number took them about 5 minutes to write and perhaps 2-3 takes to record. It just oozes, "this is where I'm at".
Blues education 101. This is a song taken from 1930s blues The Killin Floor. Zep integrated a lot of old blues songs into their own magic. First heard this 55 years ago, age 14. Shocked.
JPJ and bonham make it so funky. Killing floor is an all time classic blues track that so many bands and artists covered it but Zeppelin tooktit to another level
When alone in my car (so as to not traumatize my family), I always try to replicate Robert’s “Baaaaeeebe” at 4:27 😅😊 I fail, and that’s why I keep trying. 😅😊
Yay! another Led Zep review by Polo! You need to review the entire 1st and 2nd album to get your mind blown. Just giving some great advice to you as a Zep fan since 1970. 😊
Check out the live version from Fillmore West 4-24-69. It’s actually labeled as Killing Floor. Jones’s bass playing is irreplaceable and basically impossible to replicate. He played impossible bass lines! Truly the best rock bassist - BAR NONE. The combination of deep understanding of how music works and studio etiquette made him very sought after. Jimmy picked a prodigy boy for the role as Zeppelin bassist. He walked into the studio on this day and provided a legendary electric bass solo with a very sophisticated attitude.
My 1A and 1B favorite bands are Zeppelin and Tool. Good taste bro. They're just SO much better than every other band. Both bands, everyone in the band is sick at what they do.
Like many or most Zeppelin songs, you have to listen to it a couple times and key your ears in to specific instruments. The bass in this is amazing throughout the entire song. Sometimes gets overshadowed or overwhelmed by lead guitar.
you have to listen the killing floor...The song “ The Lemon Song” appeared on the 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. The song was born out of Howlin Wolf's song “ Hard Time Killing Floors” which Zepplin performed in their live shows in the late 60s
Old white man from Canada here. Love to the world and you, my friend. They say I'm evil but all I have in my heart is the music of my time. We listened to music back then, the whole side at a time. Looking back I would never imagine the world would be like this. God help us all. They say we treated women poorly too. Try the rock ballads. Alice Cooper only women bleed. We saw women as loving and mysterious.❤
The Lemon Song is complicated but it really highlights the incredible diversity of the band. Like Polo, it’s not the kind of song that you “like”, like tapping your foot. The best word I can use about this song is respect! BTW, I also think that the lyrics are equally as erotic and esoteric as the music.

Who do you personally consider to be the greatest band of all time?
Queen, of course!! "Bohemian Rhapsody"; "Who wants to live forever"
"Fat Bottom Girls"
"On the Radio"
Really too many to name
For me personally it's Led Zeppelin hands down. ☮️
Going back a bit further..check out Them "Gloria" or Moody Blues "Knights in White Satin"
So many great bands. For 1970’s Gentle Giant “Three Friends” for 1990’s and still playing Aryeon (Universe Live) Polo, once you hear this you will be hooked. Arjen Lucassen is a genius. Try the “The Day The World Breaks Down”, video on TH-cam. I guarantee you will be gobsmacked!
Too many great ones to have only one. Notables include Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Beatles of course, Stones, Jimi Hendrix, a few others.
One of the greatest bass lines ever recorded. The whole song is a masterclass. Great reaction.
The Lemon Song is no lemon. JPJ is supersonic, Bonham is incredible, Page is great, Plant is beyond words.
The take it down section is as down and dirty as it has ever gotten.
I’ve absolutely loved this song ever since I was a little kid. Very unconventional song but it’s an absolute banger. Everyone is firing on all cylinders
Masterclass in Letting a song breathe.
I will never get tired of listening to Led Zeppelin. 😊
Me neither. And that has been the case for 45 years. 👀
John Paul Jones is a bass wizard,lol!
Yes he's insane
My favorite lyrics in this is “squeeze me baby till the juice runs down my leg, the way you squeeze my Lemmon till I fall right out of bed”🤣 I love it, classic led zepp
Lemon. You’re thinking of John Lemmon who was a member of the Fruatles
@@MarcosElMalo2😆
Best band ever Led Zeppelin

John Paul Jones, driving baseline totally makes that song❤
There is No bad Zeppelin jam!❤️🔥😎🥰❣️
JPJ and Bonzo are a perfect pair. Zep is hard to hate.
More like impossible. ;)

Elvis shot all the TVs on that hotel floor, and then Led Zeppelin threw them all out the windows.

No one, and I mean NO ONE sings Babe like Robert Plant.
He is bar none the greatest rock singer EVER 👑

This is one of my favorite John Paul Jones songs for Led Zeppelin. Guitar, drums and vocals are amazing as usual, but the bass makes this song walk, run and groove.
I think the lyric " squeeze my lemon " was coined by an early blues musician, Robert Johnson.
Misty Mountain Hop, Dyer Makr, Trampled Under Foot, Bring it On Home, Ramble on, What is and What Should Never Be, Going to California.. those should get ya through the year lol
Zeppelin the band, the manager the engineers game over.🥳🥳🥳🥳🤫🤫🤫🤫💥💥💥💥💣💣💣💣
Love love love this song, one of my all-time favorites.
Best rock band ever!!! ❤️❤️❤️😘RIP John Bonham!!
Best band ever! For the next 1000 years!
THE GREATEST BAND EVER HANDS DOWN !!!❤😊
i never figured anyone would react to the lemon song lmfao. squeeze my lemon!!!!
Til the juice runs down my leg! 😁
Everyone has reacted to this.
Led Zeppelin of course ❤

POLO- the first time I heard this was in person in concert in ‘69. I was a blushing teen and was shocked!
This is yet another blues classic.
Just remember Polo… If there was no Zeppelin there would be no Tool, Zep is the root of all hard rock!
if you don't see the inspiration Zep provided everywhere, you've probably not done enough homework.
Tool is your favorite and Led Zeppelin is your top five... you're young. If you haven't figured it out by now, if there was no Led Zeppelin, there would be no Tool or any of the other bands that you might recognize that came out in the 80s or later. No disrespect to you, I am a fan of your channel.
Meh .. different times. Zeppelin is clearly a big influence on Tool.
Obviously since Tool covered No Quarter... @@Patsy_Parisi
Don’t forget sabbath.

Zep? Instant upvote. Every song is just a masterclass in one way or another (or, let's be real.... from EVERY angle)
the ultimate rock blues song is still " You Shoock Me" give it a listen
My favorite driving song!
To be clear: we're talking Led Zeppelin's You Shook Me, as opposed to AC/DC's. Not to hate on AC/DC, but the songs two aren't interchangeable.
"YOU SHOOK ME" a great blues song Zep does....
I love LZ’s You Shook Me, it shows all of there talents, keyboard & harmonica etc.
no way
ZEPPELIN RULES!!! Awesome reaction, Polo!
The weird thing about LZ is that Page and Jones being studio musicians, they write their songs like kids in the candy store of all music (watch out for Page's record collection in interviews filmed at home) and STILL the result is completely unlike the parts they took and altered.

Ten years gone check it out
Love their Chuck Berry tribute in the solos, with the 50s galloping drums. Many a time you can see Page doing chucks "walk" on stage. What a thrill.
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤
Ten Years Gone is my favorite songs...any band. I know you'll love it.
Led Zeppelin transcends music genre, jazz blues rock whatever they always do it well
Let's get the LED OUT!!
great comment at 5:38 The sign of a great band when you can focus in on every one of the members. Kinda like Tool! Also the "squeeze my lemon" lyric goes all the way back to 1937 in songs by Arthur McKay and Robert Johson. Robert Plant is a student of the Delta Blues!
Now ya gotta listen to their other " citrus" song 'Tangerine'.....beautiful tune ✌️
There are points where everyone runs off and chaos ensues my favorite is when it all walks back into line.
This is why Led Zeppelin II is their best album. Such a great comment on the individual instruments and concentrating on them....I love bass and this is a Master Class in that, but of course the rest is fantastic too, of course.
That bass!!!! After listening to LZ for over 50 years every molecule in my body is in tune with every note. It’s crazy.

Well said. There are only two kinds of people: those who love Led Zeppelin and those who haven't listened to them enough yet.
Bonham ALWAYS laid down such a masterful beat, didn’t he? Every song different but with its own high points - done masterfully by artists of music.
Blues boogie rock brought to you by Zeppelin!
The mighty Led Zeppelin at it once again, taking old blues songs and turning them into listenable blues-rock masterpieces like this one.
...my absolute favorite Zeppelin song. Got my first speeding ticket to this song. Great pick. Great vid.
Such a fun one. Best band ever ❤
So many to choose from...Four sticks(Bonham really played with 4 sticks), Ramble On, and All of my love are at the top for me
You shook me is another absolute banger blues song with one of the most iconic solo sections on any zeppelin track
This is a creative cover of “Killing Floor” by Howlin’ Wolf which was originally released in 1964.
JPJ makes it soo easy to focus on that bass line. He just doesn’t stop. What a romance - he buys us dinner & drinks, courts us, and proposes all in one single song. ♥️
The lyrics here are a grab bag of blues lyrics just thrown together. Even the infamous Squeeze my Lemon segment. Musically brilliant. Great feel.

Like many or most Zeppelin songs, you have to listen to it a couple times and key your ears in to specific instruments. The bass in this is amazing throughout the entire song. Sometimes gets overshadowed or overwhelmed by lead guitar.
This is the funkiest groove, with the bass, drum beat and the freedom of their style is just incredible!!!
I’ve been listening to them since about 1972. Driving to school in my 1967 Mustang. Great times!!
Greatest Band Ever!
Led Zeppelin #1
you have to listen the killing floor...The song “ The Lemon Song” appeared on the 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. The song was born out of Howlin Wolf's song “ Hard Time Killing Floors” which Zepplin performed in their live shows in the late 60s
Once you get into Led Zeppelin.....You NEVER get outta Led Zeppelin !

As teens, we took for granted.....blazed into my brain long before you checked it out. 😊
You Shook Me Baby and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 🔥🔥
I’m pretty sure this is my all time favorite Zeppelin song
All their elements and tricks are in this song.

Best produced, most enjoyable "reaction" creator on youtube.
This is one of their very best songs!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!! Been waiting on this for a hot min!!!
Honest, much respect!
Robert wasn't high out of his mind...... He was/is just that 😎 cool
The middle part was pure funk.
You may not have noticed, but you hear all four at the same volume. Always.
Polo, you once said you like bass. Some good bass playing with this number.
…… my favorite Zep tune ❤️🎸🔥
Tool & Zeppelin both reference lemon in their lyrics in 2 totally different meanings 😂🤣😂
🌀👁🌀
Cool 12 bar blues progression
PAGE IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER FOR ME! THEIR SONGS ARE MPS FOR SURE!
Got to hear John Bonham's drum solo from Led Zeppelin Song Remains the Same
The Lemon Song is complicated but it really highlights the incredible diversity of the band. Like Polo, it’s not the kind of song that you “like”, like tapping your foot. The best word I can use about this song is respect! BTW, I also think that the lyrics are equally as erotic and esoteric as the music.
ya mon, it's the rhythm section that is the foundation... gives guitar and voice a launching point. Heaven!
The same lemon verse is in Traveling Riverside Blues, not as well known but another great song from them. Love your reactions! 👍
