He goes deep. He does just love something, he strives to understand not just the music and the acts, but also what was going on with the acts when they created their music. It's inspiring.
Fair assessment about Bonham. As a drummer for 45 years who has studied under symphonic percussion directors and been a session player for a long time you're absolutely correct. There's no such thing as "the best". Every rock drummer has studied Bonham; if they haven't then they should. Bonham masterfully handled whatever Page and Jones threw at him. He always established a solid foundation according to what was necessary. In my favorite Zeppelin song, the Rain Song he hardly plays. What he plays is perfect for the song. This song, and Bonham's shuffle rhythm he employs is masterful. The groove is so strong yet not just in your face. Keep up the great, thoughtful, and well-rounded reactions.
Something I`ve only recently become aware of is the influence John Bonham had on what eventually appeared on the Albums. He was constantly advising Page, Plant, Jones, on what should and should not be included on the final track. Bonham`s intuitive feel for what would and would not work is one of the most underrated aspects of Led Zeppelin`s success.
This is an actual real reaction/review, a mans review. Nothing wrong with kids enjoying and reacting to music they are just now hearing. This is not a kids review. This is an intelligent discussion from someone who actually understands the nuances of music. Adults come to this channel. So well done sir
There are fans out there who don’t really get the last 2 albums.In my opinion yes they are different. But unmistakably Led Zeppelin. Going in whatever direction that moves them.And that’s why they are different because Jimmy’s constantly searching for new and fresh music to compose. And to quote you, Why??”because they can”” just another reason why they were then and they still are and will forever be the greatest band to ever grace the stage
In Through The Out Door isn't my favorite Zeppelin album, but it's in my top half of favorite Zeppelin albums. Fool in The Rain is in my top ten of favorite Zeppelin songs. It's the first Zeppelin song I heard as a kid and it still holds up. Hell, my mom isn't a Zeppelin fan and she love it. I think that pretty much says it all!
I agree with you that LZ was preparing for the 80s and was moving in a new direction. This song and album stands as a testament to what could have been.
May 5th 1973, Tampa stadium, the largest stadium concert to that date. over 58,000, plus hundreds outside. I was there. cost of ticket $6.00, memories priceless.
Always love your reactions soul train bro. Such a great reactor, great knowledge of music and what makes it great, and really makes me feel like I’m personally jamming and having discussion with someone when watching your videos. Just awesome!
In many groups of the era we may be able to pick out a seeming weak link member. But, for me, with LZ there is no weak link. They are all monster talents in their own areas of expertise. One friend suggest John Paul Jones as the most easily replaceable member. But this man is multi talented. For example, his keyboard work on Kashmir leads the drive to that mountain peak like not many could master or muster in my view.
Agree with what you’re saying...I think when saying he’s the most replaceable is probably true from the context of grasping at straws, which I believe is the point. I recognize I could very well be wrong about that though
Always a great reaction from you brother. You're knowledgable and react intelligently. You know how to give a good opinion. I'm glad to be checking out your videos again.
You've been doing reactions to led Zeppelin for a while now but I've been watching you so you know that they have dabbled in everything from jazz blues calypso Jamaica Little bit of country rock hard Rock. Led Zeppelin is an all-around just badass. You're just about at the end of the rabbit hole congratulations
A variation of the Purdie half-time shuffle which was a drum phrasing originated by Bernard Purdie that can be heard on many recordings including some of the Steely Dan songs he played on. Bonham, however, put his own spin on it and the result is just an incredible groove.
@@cbrend22 The genesis of the beat is undeniably the Purdie shuffle, but as I say, Bonham did his own unique thing with it like all great players do. We all have influences, but he totally changed it and made it his own in the process. Jeff Porcaro did the same in the song Rosanna.
@@itsmedrooms6071 the genesis of music is hitting rocks with sticks. Not really relevant. The Purdie shuffle was bread, Bonham’s is deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza. Same foundation, yes. That’s it. But hey, maybe Domino’s will start delivering bread?
@@cbrend22 Right, the foundation came from Purdie who Bonham was way into at the time, but he changed it around and did something incredibly unique and creative. It’s relevant to me, to my playing because I’ve studied both styles and I can see the connective tissue. Purdie was incredible in his own right.
One of my many favorite songs from Zeppelin ♥️ When the piano comes in I have to get up & dance till the end!! All members are Masters of their Craft ♥️🎶 I enjoy your channel so much!! Have you heard their song called “Tea For One?” It’s the last cut from their 1976 “Presence” album. Would love to hear your thought on it sometime! Thanks
It was cool that PJ and Plant got together for Hurricane Katrina because the Bush Administration did next to shit in the beginning. Anyway, I love the Zeppelin version of Fool In The Rain. I'm a PJ fan and, I appreciate the whole idea. But, they are not Jimmy Page, John Bonham or JPJ. Eddie did an okay job singing. And when Robert does it, it's like stereo. Nobody can be Zeppelin, at least that's my take away. Oh, the song PJ was going to do after Fool In The Rain was Thank You. And, The Black Crows singer is Chris Robinson :)
Oh, baby Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for night I hate to think I been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a burning And the thrill of your touch give me fright And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why don't you show up and make it alright, yeah? It's alright right And if you promised you'd love so completely And you said you would always be true You swore that you never would leave me baby Whatever happened to you? And you thought it was only in movies As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey It ain't the first time believe me baby I'm standing here feeling blue, blue ha! Yes I'm blue Oh, babe Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I watch the people go shuffling downtown Another ten minutes no longer And then I'm turning around, 'round And the clock on the wall's moving slower Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found, found Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found Oh, that I found Hey, babe, ooh Hand that ticks on the clock Just don't seem to stop When I'm thinking it over Oh, tired of the light I just don't seem to find Have you wait, yeah played Whoa, I see it in my dreams But I just don't seem to be with you, you I gotta get it all, gotta get it all, gotta get it all I've got to get all Ooh now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet, oh I got no reason to doubt you baby It's all a terrible mess And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop, hey! And the thoughts of a fool's kind of careless I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah Hey, now, oh, oh, oh Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I Light of the love that I found Light of the hey, now light of the hey, now Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found
Nice reaction. Sometime do a reaction to the drum solo by Bonham in their song Moby Dick. Not only does he use the sticks but also his bare hands to beat on the skins. Peace Bro...
Wayne...helene here. If it’s not too much of a pain, would it be possible to just add a sentence to these re-posts saying when you first did them? I’ve been with you through your. zeppelin journey, as you know, and I find myself pondering....now when did he first react to this........time has been weird for the past year.....something could have been eight months ago or a year...
Hey Brother, we need to keep in mind the year this was released, disco was at its height, the band personally was a mess, Paige was in the height of his addiction , Bonhams , was consuming more booze 🥃 than ever , plant n jones were highly frustrated with all of that, they were recording during the day n Paige n Bonham were recording at night. And they still produce this awesome album...
A wonderful if not one of his best most underrated guitar solos. How does one fit a solo i to that tempo..Jimmy did. The tempo and phrasing is genius and he uses a Gizmotron to give it that unlikely but perfect sound needed.
This band could have rested on their laurels long before they stepped into the studio to make this or the previous 2 albums. Thankfully, thats not the type of musicians they were.
Pages love of heroine and Bonham's drinking left Jones and Plant to do most of the work here. Plant actually said that if Bonham did not die Zeppelin was just about done anyways.
