FIRST TIME HEARING LED ZEPPELIN "Stairway to Heaven" 

The actual champ switched to a lyric video cuz he wanted to know the lyrics. That's how you know he's actually interested in the song.

"Listening to different types of music, makes you a more open minded person" may be one of the wisest things,i have ever heard. Thank you.

Who else, watching this, is saying, "Wait for it...wait for it"?

I envy this guy that he's listening to the best rock music piece ever written for the first time

The most played song in rock history and the most requested song on FM radio Is has been played over the air 9.3 billion times since Nov 8 1971

"To be a rock, and not to roll" One of the most genius lines of all time.

"He said 'Our shadows taller than our soul'... who comes up with this stuff??" Drugs. Really good drugs.

"There's still time to change the road you're on ." Love that lyric.

Pink Floyd taught me that one day I’d find that 10 years had got behind me...but then Zeppelin taught me that there’s still time to change the road I’m on. Do with that what you will 🤷‍♂️

shaq: "since i started listening rock and metal, it changed my life perspectives" so true for most of us.

Brought a tear to my eye when you said listening to all types of music makes you look at life differently and be a more open minded person. I couldn't agree more :)

The biggest reason I like rock n roll is how much effort thats put into them.

"When I transitioned over to this metal journey, this rock journey ... it changed my life" ! Love it. Nicely done kid. Welcome to the party my friend.

Your reactions are so pure and true. This old woman is now a major fan. Reaction videos bore me, but you are so animated and joyful. Many hugs and much love.

I'm not a Zeppelin fan but "Our shadows taller than our soul" is a freaking great lyric. It sounds like it should be carved on Mount Rushmore.

For an 8 minute song that’s the quietest I’ve ever heard you! Classic

Shaq: "He said... First off he's talking about a woman. That's how you know it's about to be crazy." This shit had me dying bruh hahaha

I'm a metalhead, always been, i was raised in a very rock oriented family. And i must say that.. you telling your feelings when it comes to music, how it makes you feel, how it changes your everyday life.. it's very touching and inspiring.

Shaq is growing. It’s an amazing thing to see. I’m an old white woman and the 60’s and 70’s music is what I partied too. There are a lot of amazing bands from back then and it’s a lot of fun watching you discovering them. Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I first heard them.

I just figured out why I like this channel so much. I feel like I’m hanging out with a good friend listening to music together.

Number one rule in the car with my friends- never change the station when Led Zep comes on.

I love how you doubled back for the lyrics. Check out the Eagles...Hotel California

Thats why we like rock, because they put thier soul into it; the guitar, the bass, the drums, the vocals, just wonderful

I love that he didnt say a thing thru the solo cause he felt that page

I wanna see him react to Hotel California by the Eagles

Hey Shaq, there’s a Maya Angelou quote I like. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I don’t remember everything you say in your videos, but I always feel good watching them. Thank you for that.

"Let's rock out!"... Wait for it bro. Wait for it.

I love when the drums kicked in how he went 'HOL' UP!'

This is an incredible moment. It's not often you get to see someone's response to arguably the best song ever produced.

For the whole song, I was waiting for Shaq to pause it when Robert Plant said “Our shadows taller than our soul” and I was so relieved when Shaq realized how strong that line is.

I've heard this a million times but watching with you gave me fresh eyes.

I love how he wants the lyrics to every song he feels. I grew up a huge variety of music from oldies to rock, rap, to metal to, reggae ECT. Infact I passed this characteristic onto my 15 yr old daughter who I raised on a variety of my music era and she has to has to go get her fix at least 3 times a day before school after school and before bed she'll grab her headphones and I pad and swing on the patio swing for 20-30 min listening to whatever she's in the mood for that day or time and does NOT! Want to be Interrupted as she wants to get lost in her music. Which blows my mind because when I reached my early teens I would come home from school grab a handful of my favorite c.ds plugged my headphones into the radio and payed on my bed in the dark for a hour. I never told her this and yet she is completely like me in her love for music. If I feel it in my soul than I'm completely sold. Music has been one of the most important influences in my life and I find myself getting drawn to rock the most at this point in time at age 36. Nothing touches me more than the lyrics to all of my favorite rock songs especially because 90percent of my favorite rock artist wrote there own shit that's a true artists no ghost writing just pure raw emotion . Alot of Ppl assume it's just loud screaming and guitar and drums but the lyrics are the key to it all. Depending on what I'm going thru in life when I hear it . I remember hearing this song exact song your playing now after getting sober and my body,mind,and soul was clearing from the fog of yrs of past drug abuse and though I had heard it a million times in my life, it had never sounded more beautiful and made more sense than at that moment in time. I remember I in the car with the windows down and the cool air hitting my face and I just had a stream of all kinds of repressed emotions come thru me and tears were streaming down my face.I cant explain it but I don't need to the music does that for me and I respect anybody who is un- biased to any type of music like this dude here he can see it from a new different angle for the meaning and the words not just a hook and a beat like some present Day cliche bubble gum music without substance. I use to read all the lyrics to any rock song that I felt connected to in some way and once I read the lyrics it trips me out how I can relate to it, In fact it's because of that reason that I litteraly have hundreds of thousands of songs (no joke) memorized in my head.every deep song that affects me and let me tell you it's alot of music in my head It doesn't matter if I first heard it 1,10 or 20 yrs ago once I feel it and read the lyrics it's locked into my brain and soul like a safe locked for life.

It amazes me that you can take these epic rock songs that I grew up on and break them down in a way I haven't heard before. Plus you have an awesome stank face.

My first real love at 16. He died of Leukemia that summer. This song played at his funeral. Im 49 now. Still makes me weep everytime. Thank you for this video.

Your reaction to rock gives me goosebumps. It's a beautiful thing to see somebody appreciate lyricism and the musical gifts these legends bring. I'm so glad that you said rock 'n' roll has changed your life it's done the same for me as well.

When my sister passed I listened to this one alot.

"How y'all gonna hit us with two ads?". Hahahhaha this killed me.

This is like "Music Appreciation 101" and I'm sure many of us listening are really "hearing" these songs again for the first time in a long time. Music speaks to all of us and can unite us if we let it. Keep going...this is great!

Shaq I’m a 70 year old great Grammy. This was my wedding song back in 72. The meaning of it has changed over the years but all tied to our life. Married outside in the mountains under the trees. I was 17 & my groom was 29. So many moments in our life started with this song. I’m glad you youngsters are finding this great song. I’m a widow now but this continues to have special significance 😘

Loved this song for 30 years, literally sitting here bobbing my head with you lol

Robert Plant: Writes something Shaq: HOLLLL UPP

The woman thinks she can buy her way into heaven, as it has worked for her so far. Words have two meanings, ex. a poor person goes to the store with a sign that says it's closed, they cannot gain access, but a rich person can get that store to open back up for their purchase. There are two paths in the bible one is heavily trodden, one is narrow, the narrow road leads to heaven. The "Piper" leads those down the wide and heavily trodden road and the "whisper" leads to the narrow road. But there is always time to change the road you take in life. The Piper is TV, social media, politicians, etc telling you how you should feel, act, about things. The whisper is that thing in your head/heart that talks to you before you do something. Remember when you were a child, before you knew the law, before you did something like thought about stealing a sucker you had that thing inside you telling you it was wrong and noone had to tell you, that is the whisper.

Shaq: "Who comes up with this stuff?" My first thought: "Drugs in the 60s and 70s"

GLAD TO SEE YOU AT OVER 2 MIL SUBS, WAS WITH YOU SINCE LIKE 100K!

This one really got to you didn't it? This song is magic. It's wizardry. One of a kind. They tapped into something.

I saw you made a new video and then I saw "Stairway to heaven"...I've never clicked on something so fast haha

You need to do a reaction to Ann and Nancy Wilson of HEART doing Stair Way To Heaven at the Kennedy Center honoring Led Zeppelin. Jason Bonham, the son of he late John Bonham is on drums and Barack and Michelle Obama are in attendance. This performance has been compared to the original version and it stands alone for it's greatness. You should see the reactions of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones as well as the rest. The Performance is GLORIOUS. But, don't take my word for it. See for yourself. Many have reacted to it. Don't be left out!!

I love that you appreciate, try to understand and dissect it and really enjoy it!!

I appreciate him wanting the exact lyrics. Words have power.

Straight up - you gave me shivers. I've been listening to this song for 40+ years but your comments made me see the lyrics differently and more profoundly. You're a joy to watch.

Love you man. You are teaching me how to listen to music again. Realize I haven’t listened to music enough lately.

I love that you're feeling this stuff. Keep it coming.

As a huge fan of music, i appreciate the fact that you make sure to understand the lyrics. Here for the bars, babyyyy... Haha

Zeppelin is my favorite band, and while Stairway isn't my favorite song of their's, it's quintessential Led Zeppelin. I've never seen someone listen to it for the first time. This was amazing to watch. Great video, man.

I just love your reactions!! Makes Me remember how I felt the first time I heard these songs you share. Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

The slow swell of the guitar throughout the song is amazing, it’s always picking up pace from beginning to end

Kashmir should be the next song you listen to from Zeppelin!

Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love!!! It’s groovy af coach!

You had me rolling. This tune has been with me since it was released and to see a first time for you was awesome. Keep looking west

Dude i just watched your reaction to this song which is a VERY IMPORTANT SONG TO ME! I’m HONORED to hear your interpretation and reaction to it!!!!! I love you man and hope to learn more from you!

You legit care about the music, lyrics and meaning of it. Best music reactor in my opinion 👌🏼

Led Zeppelin - "Black Dog"

Bro, I am so f'n thrilled how you've embraced all different genres of music! There is no race when it comes to all music! Just let it reach your soul! Keep'm coming!

Great reaction as usual! You are genuinely into the new (to you) songs. Love your reactions!

"Who comes up with this stuff, bro?" Acid!

My friend you listened to, what might be the most mystifying song ever.

Yooo great reaction. Glad u put the lyrics up. Have heard the song a million times but haven’t thought a whole lot about what it means.

Man , I know this really isn't your genre of music, but this truly is one of the most brilliant masterpieces ever written and performed. A true classic. Timeless

Freebird by Skynryd next....another classic and must hear!!

I love when an unsuspecting youngun taps in to the greatest of my generation. I have a 15 you who is wowed everytime she delves into my library. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

shaq... Props for coming outta you lane... so happy to see you know bars go farther that rap and hip hop(which i love and appreciate) but you just showed an appreciation to music in general, lyric and "BARS" go farther than one genre

Congrats young man, you have just listened to one of the top 100 songs ever on basically ALL LISTS made. This is so cool, I'm 61, and I (actually...) learned to appreciate my mothers music. Not Stairway to heaven though... Would love to see you "first time hearing" on one of my mothers favorites. Mireille Mathieu, Non je Ne Regrette rien. It's in french, so a translate is good. She was HUGE in her days. Very best greetings from Sweden!!!!!!

"it made me look at music differently, and it made me look at life differently." Such is the power of opening your heart, your mind, your spirit. Shaq, I salute you!!

“First off, he’s talking about a woman. That’s how you know it’s about to get crazy.” I wish I could post a picture of Chappelle from that game show sketch where he says “Somehow, that is correct!”

Oh man what you said at the end of the video is so spot on!!!! Great insight man!!!!

You are so right brother. Different music opens you mind, and also your soul.

React to Hotel California by The Eagles please!!! I want to see you break down the lyrics and see what YOU make out of it!

Aye Classic right here. This band and song sets the bar.. LED ZEPPELIN was nothing like it’s time.

My brother! Glad you’ve got the rock bug! Keep rocking out my man 🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻

Played this at my 49yo wife's funeral. High school sweethearts, married at 22yo, died unexpectedly in her sleep March of 2023. I cry every time i hear it. A good cry

You need to listen to led Zepplin‘s immigrant Song, that will blow your mind away. I love seeing your reactions to classic rock, keep up the videos.

Easily my new favorite channel on YT, my brother. With so much negativity and fighting and bickering going on all around us, it's refereshing to come to your channel and disconnect from all that BS and just enjoy something we can all bond together over: music. Even though I've been listening to all these rock and metal songs for years, watching the way you react when you discover these songs for the first time, man, it's like I'm hearing them for the first time all over again too. The way you openly embraced new genres has a lesson for all of us in getting outside our comfort zone. Much love to you, brother. Keep doing what you do best, my man! I'm a fan for life.

"You got to be a well rounded person out here, man." Preach it Shaq!

This song came out when I was in Jr. high school and it blew me away. It is on the first album I ever bought as a kid. Aside from the meaning, the lyrics in this song (and so many other great hits from that time) evoke images in your mind that no music video could ever recreate As far as the lyrics go, I’ve always viewed the song as a woman who had beauty and privilege who thought she could buy her way into heaven using her wealth, beauty and charm. She learns along the way that her wealth and physical beauty cannot get her in to heaven and she is on the wrong path. She listens and learns that there is a different currency, another kind of gold, that has nothing to do earthly wealth and there is still time to change paths and find her way into heaven. No matter the intended meaning, the way the song builds from a guitar and recorders playing softly and slowly to the chest thumping rock near the end coupled with the lyrics are worth listening to over and again while contemplating the meaning it all has to you. thank you for your reaction. When your video started and you could not see the lyrics I thought there was no chance you would be able to feel the full impact of those words. I very much appreciate that you cared enough to stop and get the lyrics. Thanks again.

Music is like travel: It broadens your mind.

Watching someone hear the greatest song of all time for the first time. What an honor for us.

I need you to react to “November Rain” or “Sweet Child O’ Mine”

I love your interpretation of lyrics regardless of genre.

Stairway to heaven... truly one of mankind’s masterpieces, keep listening my dude

There literally is nobody better in the reacting video spectrum than Shaq! I'm a DJ, and a huge hop hop head. but very open to all other genres myself and I gotta say you got great taste in music bro. Whether you discover the songs on your own or not , you appreciate them when you listen to them and are not biased just because it's not your prefered genre. Much respect. PS you are legit the only dude I subscribe to on RU-vid keep doing your thing!

I love watching you reacting to music, you can really tell you have a great love for music!

Really dig your reactions. Gets me in the feels as well

Dude.... you have given me a brand new appreciation for these songs that I have listened to for 40 years....I love your authenticity. This is why I watch RU-vid.

there is a reason why it is the most played song on rock radio bro... for some of us born in the 50's... this song punctuates our whole life... I enjoyed sharing with a smart young brother like you... yep and Amen.

HOW have you gone through your whole life without hearing this masterpiece? One of the most legendary songs of all time!

I love your reactions. Total fan!

Someone suggested HEART, and THAT'S A DEFINITE YES! They adored Zeppelin. Go listen to them! Woot! You'll be amazed by her singing!

Literally one of the most open-minded people on this platform. Big Respect!

Thanks for your honesty...a rare commodity in this world...

Love your reactions and commentary! You're deep yourself, man.
