My mother raised me on Led Zeppelin and as a young child I apparently was so offended that a friend did not recognize a song that I argued and then cried. This would have been when I was about four years old and I have no memory.
led zeppelin, pink floyd, ac/dc, rolling stones, black sabbath, iron maiden, the doors, deep purple, joe cocker, peter gabriel, dylan, bowie, hendrix, zappa, cave and and and... today gaga, grande, swift, bieber, cyrus and and and... which time was better...^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not really. Page knew JPJ for years before that from the London session scene and was put on to Plant by word of mouth in the business so he sought him out. Plant knew of Bonham and recommended him. It's not like they all tried to get in the same taxi one day and fate intervened.
@@Claymor621 Woah! Are you saying musicians are aware of other musicians??? Never knew that! Yes! We know. What you are basically suggesting is that they all knew they would gel together perfectly and go on to become rock legends whilst teenagers. 🙄 I understand that you are one of those commenters with a voracious appetite for contradiction though so, fill your boots! 🤣
What's amazing is that inside of 6 weeks of meeting together they cut one of the greatest rock albums of all time. And then hammered it home with LZ2 and LZ4
@@Claymor621lol john Paul george and Ringo dont have shit on zeppelin, the beatles played for 8 years in obscurity before hitting the US. Led Zeppelin played for 10 weeks before landfall.
One of the most amazing aspects of Black Dog I think is that the guitar and drums slide into different time signatures on the chorus, but line up and get back in sync at the end of the chorus.
The song was scored beginning to end by the bass player John Paul Jones. The time signatures are so complicated the live versions tend to get very muddy, but the studio version is a masterpiece. If you listen carefully you can hear Bonham tapping his drum sticks together during Plants naked vocals which was the only way he could keep the time signatures in sync.
I was a kid in the back seat of my mother’s Malibu listening to the Carpenters. Then one day as I played in the yard at our house a cool kid teenager from the neighborhood walked by with his boombox on his shoulder that eclipsed his head playing Black Dog maxing out his “D” batteries at sound volume 10. That moment changed my life forever!
My first boombox in '78 was jamming RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL by Van Halen as I walked out of the Little Creek Naval Base PX with it. Got smiles from everyone walking in.
THIS IS #MAGA COUNTRY; That’s great moment thanks for sharing 👍👍. I was wondering where the base was when you commented so I looked it up, I see it via satellite with ships docked. Good times I’m sure, thank you for serving. PS: I like your RU-vid handle, GBA!
@@slagletoby I use it as bait so when a butthurt snowflake complains I explain to them these four words only came from Jussie Smollett, a greedy, gay failed actor who single handedly set black Civil rights back by 50 years. I then go on to explain how the Chicago Special Prosecutor has him dead to rights and he's facing serious charges, a heavy fine, and a big inmate named Leroy every night,...whether he wants to or not. I then say I can't wait to watch what happens, I'm making fresh popcorn, and end with #Schadenfreude.
I was lucky enough to have dope smoking hippie parents. I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Tom Waits, Black Sabbath since I was a kid in the 70s. Because that's what they listened to 😁
Dude, I friggin love watching you enjoying the shit out of the music of my life..you’re genuine and you may have one of the best stank faces out there! 🤘🏿💜🙏
Remember sitting around with friends and just listening to music like this? Everyone reacting, everyone commenting, everyone air guitaring. I remember doing it with my older brother, with my friends, and in college with my fraternity brothers. It was a nice way to spend an evening.... even without drugs.
@Joseph Jenkins...When the 70's ended, all of us who were teenagers back then hit the gound with a painful bump and have never recovered since. I think you will agree.
Woo-hoo, Black Dog!! One of the absolutely classic guitar riffs. Led Zep in their best party-jam mode. (I've decided when I next get a dog, she'll be black, and her name will be Heyhey Mama.)
Its awesome seeing your reactions. Im 61 and grew up with zep. I just watched about 6 of your zeppelin reviews, thanks for the laughs... Good luck my friend
Why did Led Zepplin name their song "Black Dog"? The title of the song Black Dog was inspired by a stray labradour that wandered in and out of the Headley Grange studio where the band was recording Led Zeppelin IV at the time. Led Zeppelin's fourth album was released on November 8, 1971. Check out Jason Bonham
@@marymargaretmoore9034 the only reason why I know it is a watch the movie, I think my ex in-laws bitched because it was for $25 for two hours of music they did not like 😂🤣😂🙏😇
I've heard that story a lot, but the term "black dog" was already common British slang for a dark mood, like you refer to someone who was depressed as having a "black dog." So even if that story is true, it must at least partially refer to the common meaning of the phrase. It would be like if someone had a song called "cold turkey," but said it was about a wild turkey that wandered around in their yard in December. Maybe that's true, but it's at least a double entendre.
@@jamelakajamal Unbelievable in person. It wasn't just their sound. Everything worked together for a full body experience. The sounds traveled around the auditorium. I think you have mentioned the sound traveling from one side to the other,,,,imagine that sound traveling around an auditorium, and it vibrates your whole body. Add to that the way the lights went with the music, then you looked up and there HE was.
I curse my mother regularly for not having me when she was 7 or 8. Never saw LZ live, but I did get to see Robert Plant last year. Of course his voice has aged, but he can still shake my DNA. Consummate pro who surrounds himself with incredibly talented musicians.
In 1974 Elvis was told he wasn't #1 in concert ticket sales anymore. He was passed by Led Zeppelin. He said "who is Led Zeppelin?". So, he went and listened to a couple of albums and said "these guys are good!". He was so impressed with their music he wanted to meet them. So, I think in 74 or 75 they meet at the L.A Forum at one of Elvis's concerts. The first thing he said "So, these are the guys that are out selling me!" He liked Led Zeppelin very much. Robert Plant tells the story of meeting Elvis. You can Google it.
Back in them days bands didn't need Auto-Tune, sampling for any lip syncing. Bands played their own instruments so you couldn't hide anything with technology. What you got back then was real music with real people playing real instruments
I never thought that I would enjoy watching people react to music but watching you brings back memories of the first time I heard these songs. You seem like such a cool dude too. Keep them coming. I’d love to see a reaction to White Zombie’s Thunder Kiss ‘65!
I love how much Led Zep moves you. I get the Billie-Jean ref; it's something to do with the way the drum and bass combines to produce a wave that somehow cracks right through your soul like a tsunami.
I like your reactions! You interrupt very little, listen to the music and words, and have great comments. Keep it up. Led Zeppelin, BEST EVER. Get the LED out!!!
Michael Jackson...I saw him in concert in Birmingham, Alabama in 1979...just WOW! I went back and watched videos from early 80’s...still better than today!!! He should be remembered for the gift he had...not what people thought they knew about him!!! Didn’t notice the MJ sound but yeah!!!
I always say that. Listen to the work not the stories about an artist’s personal life. When you watch Casablanca you don’t let it bother you that the entire cast is dead. The two have nothing to do with each other.
I'm 69 years old,I grew up with this music,and my Motown. I'm happy see a lot of Aferican amecian people like this type of music.Love your channel bro.keep up the good work👍🤘
Dear Jamel, I’m a 63 year old Cuban who by influence I’m a heavy metal fan. But most importantly... thank you for helping me relive and enjoy the music of my youth. God Bless you and please, keep it rollin’! Have you done an impression of “Hey Hey What Can I Do” by Led Zeppelin?
Yep,...we were lucky to live through this music in real time, there was so much great music in the 70s that we just took it for granted. Miss those dayz.!!
@@Republic3D check out A Perfect Circle- When the leeve breaks Live at red rocks, If you haven't heard that performance. Different from the original. Maynard and Billy made sang it their own way. It would be cool if Tool did another Zeppelin cover.
A great memory from my youth: cruising with the buds, feeling most excellent. The driver suddenly calls out "Bet the guitars!!" Without pause, he then sings out at the top of his lungs "HEY HEY BABY, THE WAY YOU MOVE..." and we all were so in synch, we immediately all did our best to mimic the opening crescendo of guitars with our voices. Wonderful moment.
in i972 I was 12 years old. There was no FM radio in Portland at the time so I listened to AM and liked music like the Partridge Family and Tony Orlando but heard Stairway to Heaven one day and loved it. I went to the record store to buy the 45 but was told the song was only available on by buying the album ZOSO, or Led Zeppelin IV. So I handed over 4.98,brought the record home and put it on the turntable. Side 1, track 1. Black Dog. As soon as I heard Robert Plant sing that first line, "Hey, hey mama said the way you move , gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove" followed by Jimmy Page's great riff my life was changed forever. I felt something inside that I had never felt before and didn't understand it. I still remember that feeling and now at the age of 60 I still cannot put it into words. Led Zeppelin helped me discover a part of my soul that I didn't know existed that day and I am forever thankful.
Check out Jack Black at the Kennedy Center Honors introducing Led Zeppelin. It's a very cool summary and display of their greatness. Cheers to you and thanks for the great reactions :)
"How can you not move, how can you not groove!"...with so much to consider about their music, that defines why it is that I love Zeppelin so much. Great to see you experience it. Thanks!
70 female & did not get into them back then. Married hubby in 1975 who had all their albums. Now love them. He ramped up my love for the Beatles too. So grateful.
Thank you. We did have great music back then. The golden era of rock and roll. So musical back then. I also had the fortune of hearing Motown played on my rock and roll station. Loved that music too
LED ZEP. Were born out of American BLUES. Thank you USA.saw LED ZEP in PERTH in73 I was 33years old and still loving this music till the day I die....🌏😎😎😎 FROM AUSTRALIA.....
Lightning struck 4 times in one place. Best band ever. I'm 59, and grew up listening to them. I have every Zeppelin album, on vinyl of course! I have also done the Zeppathon many times, and will continue to do so. “The Zeppathon is when you sit your ass down and listen to all nine Zep albums in a row." - Jack Black
@@jamelakajamal Great channel man, I'm feelin your enthusiasm and love for the music, so cool. Listen to "Houses of the Holy", it stands on its own as a Zeppelin masterpiece, but it's a bit different, kinda deeper or ethereal. Cheers my friend.
When the music is strong the weed doesn’t need to be as potent. When the music sucks you need the good shit to be able to tolerate the crappy music. That said there’s still good music out there it’s just not marketed like the bubble gum pop and trap music.
I (as a newly turned 40 yr old lifetime bass player ughh) Fucking agree! Weeds great but nothing feels like that pocket when you find it playing... Need better music man...fucking Internet.....lol
The further you go into it you will see how one thing feeds another. Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass makes Rock N Roll which makes Heavy Rock, Punk and pure metal so you can say Robert Johnson made Elvis and Buddy Holly who makes the Beatles who pushed Zeppelin and so on. It all bleeds into making new music so if I listen to new music today I can tell who has been created and who has listened and learned from what has came before. There is good music out there but unfortunately record companies and the mainstream won't push it so you have to search hard for it.
Facts. We got high, rode around in the country and jammed. That’s it. To the best music, it turns out, to ever be made! Born 1962... lived it, loved it! Peace ✌🏻
For a little twist, check out Dread Zeppelin! Zepp covers the with a reggae beat & an Elvis sound alike lead singer! I've seen Robert Plant wearing their tshirt!
I am from the "in between" generation, born in 67. Fortunately I had older sisters and a brother, so I grown up in the 70ties with all that great music, late sixties and seventies. Beeing a teenager in the 80ties I always had my record colletion with 80% of that golden age. Led Zeppelin, Queen, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Rush, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Roxy Music, etc. It was an amazing period, and I am glad I literally from Baby to teenager grown up with this music. The only thing I miss is that I was too young to visit live concerts in the 70ties, my first real concert was in 1982, Rolling Stones just starting when Led Zeppelin was not there anymore. The eighties where not that bad, its only that the golden seventies seems to overshine anything that came after it.
i heard this riff when it came out in 71. I was 12. Been playing guitar ever since. 52 years later still play it just about everyday. Jimi gets the feedback on cue 11 oh oh oh ohhhhhhh111
As great as their earlier stuff was, Zeppelin's last album together, In Through the Out Door, was pretty great too. Try In the Evening, or Fool in the Rain. Impressively complicated rock & roll.
You, my friend, unlike all the other reviewers get it. You are openmindendly and musically diversified. YOU GET IT. And YES ! We had the best music available to the peoples of ALL TIME! Much love! 💕
I really enjoy seeing people today getting down to the music of my generation! The vets of WWII were known as "the greatest generation" but the bands of the 1970's were the greatest bands !!!
I saw Robert Plant in 2003 (I think) in Denver and he sounded fantastic! His voice was amazing and at the time.....I'd say it was as good as it ever was in the 1970's! You have to keep in mind one thing with Plant and Zeppelin......even when he laid his vocal tracks down, at that very moment, often he was singing on the very edge of his abilities. Realizing this, I understand how nuts that really is because he then has to do it night after night, year after year as long as you tour or have a career. So to see Robert cranking this stuff out and doing a high quality job of it was quite special for me as I wasn't old enough to have seen Led Zep when they were together.
Physical Graffiti..... there's some great songs on that double album, and you gotta hear it in vinyl like I did as a youngster back in the day:-). Led Zeppelin IV is right behind that and Houses of the Holy are my top three favorites. You would definitely like Houses of the Holy- it's got some good grooves on it- Check out 'The Crunge" (Song).
I've been watching reaction videos for a while now, but your videos, your reaction has actually changed my perspective when listening. I always took for granted what I heard an felt. Now I'm listening to the sound differently and digesting the words. My mind has been blown. I've been inspired to look and hear more deeply and am struck anew by music I have always loved. Thank you for you.
