Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Reaction/Review 

I grew up with Zeppelin, but I'm hearing with new ears watching you guys discovering them

I have always considered this song as belonging in the "Masterpeice" category. Led Zeppelin had numerous "Masterpeice" records. I can't even to begin to fathom Rock-n-roll without Led Zeppelin. I feel so fortunate to have grown up with this music.....makes me feel sorry for those who did not. Great reaction.

yet another GLORIOUS bassline from jpj

JPJ on bass is key to their sound. He holds a lot of the groove down so Jimmy Page and John Bonham can go crazy

The greatest band to ever grace the stage

The bass throughout is phenomenal

"The Rain Song" most beautiful guitar I've ever heard and I've been listening 57 years😳✌️♥️

I'm a bass player, and boy, JPJ has got it going on! This is one of his best, for sure.

Simply one of the greatest bass lines in the history of Rock music. AMAZING !

🎸💯🤯 "Ramble On"‼🔥🤟 You're so right! That bass grabs you!

“What is and what should never be” is 🔥 also!

John Paul Jones is the man this is one of my favs

Great song and my fave zeppelin song. Actually based the song around the novel 'the hobbit'

This has got to be one of my all time favorite songs

I grew up on Zep, as it happened (born in '66 and I have 2 older sisters and a cool mom who influenced me hugely}. We used to blast Zep, Janis, BTO, Steppenwolf, Chicago, Three Dog Night, and so on, when we would do the weekly house cleaning on Saturdays. They made getting the chores done all possible and forged priceless memories in my cells that still reverberate between me and my mom and sisters. I have most of their catalog on vinyl, but not all. I wore out and spliced together many a cassette tape of them (OMG, and we had hours long reel-to-reel tapes of their albums and live stuff). I think my favorite album overall is Physical Graffiti, which I received as a Christmas gift (along with a cassette tape of The Clash, Combat Rock when I was a Sophomore in HS) in the cassette version, but I have had in vinyl for decades now. I couldn't pick one song as the top of the tops. They're my all time favorite band, no matter how many greats come and go. And there have been a lot of greats, especially live … Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Cash, Dizzie GIllespie, Ministry, David Bowie, Blondie, The Ramones, The Who, Taj Mahal, Aurora, Steppenwolf, and the list goes on … and then there's the gazillion punk/hardcore bands and classical performers (for the classical, I would have to think a bit harder, but I had season tickets to the SF Symphony for 2 years, '88-90, and I saw some great shows) … These guys have always been number one. I never got to see them live. I was in middle school when John Bonham passed, but I did see Jimmy Page with The Firm and Robert Plant with the Honeydrippers in the '80s. Yes, at the same time I was going to shows with Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys, MDC, Social Distortion, The Exploited, Ministry, D.O.A., The Angry Samoans, The Circle Jerks, and so many more, not to mention my hometown band, Tales of Terror. It was a rich time, musically, and I usually saw half a dozen bands every week. LIVE! Blood, Sweat, and Tears … Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'N Roll … It was a lifestyle that some could manage, and others not. Sadly, we lost a lot of beautiful souls … But they're never forgotten …

This might actually be my favorite Zep tune. Love it!

The Hobbit song. Heard this after reading the trilogy back in the early seventies.

The funny thing about the bass on this song, it's so subtle, yet it's the entire foundation of the song.

Gollum, the evil one, crept up and slipped away with her. I love that line.

Robert Plant once said that the purpose of music was to make people happy. Mr. Plant , you and your bandmates have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams and we are eternally grateful.

Well, the old records did have a "flip side" and some of those were even better! 🥰

It was glorious to grow up with Led. Parents weren't too thrilled... Haha!

I am thoroughly enjoying watching these reaction videos of many songs and bands I grew up listening to from the late 60s through the 1970's. I've never lost appreciation for this music and I'm happy to see new a generation of people keeping them alive.

This and Thank You, are my two favorite Zeppelin songs!

Good on you, Biz- having the taste and the stones to really get to KNOW the mighty Zep. Start out with the blues and take the Blues-Rock Xpress through funk, hard rock, folk, and epic Tolkien fantasies to the edge of metal. And of course Zep had the taste and brains to tap-dance on the edge. Can't wait til you get to "In the Evening"- but don't let me tempt you off the straight and narrow path- you know: I, II, III, IV... forget if Houses of the Holy or Physical Graffiti next- clearly getting old... which beats the alternative by a long chalk. Greetings from Canada- be safe, man.

One of my favorite Zeppelin songs.

Dig your joy!

you know what's amazing is I've been listening to Led Zeppelin since i was 11 in 1979 and still bob my head along every time i hear a song today.and i'm 52...

Funky little rock song from all those years ago. We loved it..

An amazingly good song!

One of the best base lines every composed

One of the best Led Zeppelin songs ever

The thing is, it's not often, but some songs have been known to suprisingly fade back in before the song actually ends.

This is a killer tune! Thanks

One of the best baselines of all time!!

Can't go wrong with any Zep! This song is raw and full of great performances from each of them. Thanks for your post! BTW just subscribed!

Love this one! Ignore the distracting video. JPJ killing it on the bass.

In the movie "It's Going To Be Loud" Jimmy Page talks about how he used a THEREMIN to make some of the unusual sounds in this song. Look up on RU-vid to hear what a Theremin is and what it sounds like!🙂

Singles were small records containing one song on each side (an A side and a B side) played at 45rpm. Albums were records that had many more songs on each side and were larger and played at 33 rpm. The oldest type of record was before the 1950s and they were large but had only one song per side. They were called 78s as they were played at 78 rpm but they were brittle and easier to break.

You need to do some Steppenwolf, Magic Carpet Ride for a "panning" song. Another rabbit hole. Lots of holes late 60's to mid 70's.

One of my top 5 Zeppelin tunes. Love pretty much everything they did but this is one of the special ones.

The bass line is ALL I hear when I listen to this song. It's so in your face, it's hard to miss that bass.

One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. There is a version of this with just the music, no vocals, which I enjoy listening to.

"Do you hear that bass line?" LOLOLOL Welcome to the party mate. Heavenly groove, just heavenly

That is one of my favorite albums of all time. Led Zeppelin was the first to have that “ surround sound” I remember having my first quad stereo system. 4 speakers, and the music went around to each speaker. Those 4 guys could rock! Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, RIP, and of coarse Robert Plant. My very first concert when I ad 14..

Bring It On Home

Yes! My favorite.

Dude!!!! 8 love your reactions...zep will take you there brother

John Paul Jones is the Bass player, and keyboards when needed. "John Paul Jones is the glue of this Band." That was from Robert Plant.

"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" Do those lyrics sounds familiar to you? Mordor? Gollum? That's right, they were into "Lord Of The Rings" way back in the early 70's!

Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song" is a must react :) this song was also featured in the Thor:Ragnarok movie. I'm sure you'll recognize it. Awesome reaction, keep up the good work. Love Music.

In my top 5 favorite songs, period by any band ♥️🎶🎸🎤♥️ John Paul Jones was their secret weapon 🎸🎶🎸

Great great great bass line..and the lyrics are perfect

Your facial expressions & visible joy reminds me of 15 year old me in 1977 discovering them. And yes, I got to see them live. Enjoy

When I was young...this was my favorite Zeppelin song. Although, I love them all. Listen to all of everything! Vocals, lead, base and drums. It's like a feast for your soul. Like you're going on a fantastic trip. Love what you're doing. You do it so well.😏

I love your reactions to LZ. They are the GOATS

Great tune, one song you need to do is The Rain Song live from Madison Sq Garden 1973. You can see the video on you tube.This is an orchestral sounding Led Zep and Jimmy’s most beautiful guitar work of all.

This just kills me every time man. There's a reason why it's one of the greatest songs of all time. That perfect combination of just hardcore blistering Funk Rock underneath and then plant up there doing his sexy bluesy whatever it is saying man. He just lets it Loose they all just let it loose. It's so cool you're calling attention to this stuff and putting a spotlight on it, really appreciate it man.

This is one of my FAVORITE Zeppelin songs

One of my favorite LZ songs. I’ve instructed my children to play this one at my funeral/Homegoing Celebration.

John Paul Jones..... bassline is historic.. Been listening to this song for 35 years and it never gets old....

first band not release singles in the time of singles They fully embraced the Long Playing album

LOVE this reaction!!! 👍👍

JPJ Bass sounds is unbelievable

The vocals and guitar are both Super Amazing. .. but that drummer and bassist. ..yeah they're both out of this world special.

You're not almost done with Zeppelin if you missed - Since I've Been Loving You.

Masterpiece.

Great song! Great reaction!

OMG!!!😂😂😂Loved it when you let it run to the last possible second. It’s SO TRUE; Led Zeppelin songs you need to let run ALL THE WAY out. Especially this one. You should hear how it actually ends out in the studio; they have a version of that too. This song is timeless 🔥🔥🔥.

My all time favorite song!

artistry... thanks for your appreciation .. as I.. for 50 years 🎸🙏

That bass just draws you in........

Yes, the bass is awesome

Music of the Gods

The bass is the glue to the song I’m convinced

😍😍😍😍😍 that 🎸 Bass line tho'!

One of my top 3 favorites!! This is a feel good song...Robert Plants voice will always rival anyone else!!🎶🎧🎶💜 If you know anything about Lord Of The Rings, you probably caught the reference..."Just 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"💜 Love that!!

Fun Fact: they did the same technique in concert, Robert's voice would ping off the four walls and so would the instrument, the sound was incredible, gave me chills every time🤟😜

Tengo 66 años, y me sigue gustando como cuando tenía 14........y me alegra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe my favorite Led Zeppelin song.

One of my favorit songs!

Love Robert Plant,i heard him with other bands after LZ stopped he is unik..ur reaction gave me big smile when you talked about bass line,so freaking awesome

For this one it’s pretty cool to check out the isolated bass track

John Paul Jones is to the bass what Jimmy is to the guitar - he's brilliant 👏 great reaction!

"Ramble On"and" Over the Hill and Far Away" my two favs and "Whole Lotta Love " running in 3rd place. Led Zeppelin is just on another level. Todays music has nothing on these musicians!

John Paul Jones bass is amazing especially during the chorus!!!

Enjoying the ride, carry-on.

I discovered Quadraphonic Sound about the same time I discovered weed. So I bought an 8 track Quadraphonic system and put a speaker in each corner of my room. Led Zepplin II and Dark side of the Moon By Pink Floyd were the 1st 2 tapes I got ....Now Pink Floyd was super trippy on that system but Zep was even more crazy .., I would sit on a bean bag in the middle of the room and the sounds were coming from all sorts of directions ....amazing!

I like your reactions, great job 👏👍👌😀

Technically panning is a signal filtering technique that uses potentiometers (or a single one, depending on the design) to turn down one speaker or another to make the sound seem like it's moving...all that's actually happening is the resistance to one speaker is being modulated. Movie theaters do the same thing to "move" sound, thats what surround sound is (2 speakers is called "stereo"). This is one of the last things you do before driving the speakers (the signal is already cleaned and amplified, effects added etc), and you can do it by hand (which is almost certainly what you hear on this album) or you can tie it to the signal: say you're playing Thunderstruck ACDC and you want the front facing speakers to get a boost when you sing "THUNDER!", you could set your signal to bias in favor of the front speakers with amplitude modulation (AM, yes, as in AM radio...though not antennas...that's a whole other can of worms) which just means when the signal gets loud (high amplitude) give outputs x,y,z more power (or current, depending on how you want to look at it and which country your amplifier was built in)

The backbeat is solid.

Robert Plant is a huge Lord If The Rings fan and his lyrical writing is proof.

Your right brother. An album is an album. A record is a record. From those of sold enough to knw

My man JPJ is serving that bass

I like to see the smile when music is goooood

I rambled a buncha times , oh well 🤘

Zep = COOL AS F*CK Their influence is off the charts

dude, later i often realize the thing i am hearing and like the most is not the guitar rift, it’s the bass elevating it

To me Zep IS the bass and drums. All the way.

Hey! JPJ's bassllines ARE the sexy stuff!
