Most INSPIRATIONAL .... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KdIhq1tb8Co.htmlsi=e6oqyD58aR4onRyO
A good number of listeners comment on the meaning of "backdoor man" however nobody commented on Plant's moaning during the middle break. He plainly says towards the end, "I'm going to give you every inch of my love". That occurs just before the backdoor man lyric. Check it out.
My favorite song of all time since I first heard it in 1972! To me the greatest riff of all time and the greatest rock vocal of all time AND the greatest rock guitar solo of all time! What else can I say lol… Oh yeah, phenomenal drumming by John Bonham, and a killer, heavy bass riff from Jones too. It’s all there!
Jack White once said he broke his copy of the cassette tape to Zeppelin II because he was so obssessed with learning the iconic guitar solo that he rewound-stopped-replayed it more times than the tape could handle, lol!
Zep's been my jam for 50 years. What is there to say? They did it all and did it best. Pretty naughty song for 1969. Holds up perfectly well today. A shame our hero's have to get old.
This song like soooo many Zeppelin songs are such a different experience stoned on some amazing chronic. You just feel it more. I grew up thru the 70's with this amazing band, amazing friends and amazing chronic.
Grew up digging on LED Zeppelin, and I graduated high school in 69. Much of the music from this era really sounds better on head phones. I'm 73 and i still like to turn on music like this, close my eyes and get lost in it.
Led Zeppelin is one of the first Rock'n'Roll Supergroups (Cream being the very first), with each member formally coming from a well established band before hand, Led Zeppelin was also an intricate part of the British Invasion of the 60's...Love ya'll reaction ❤
Yeah, not a “supergroup” according to the accepted definition of the word. Plant and Bonham were largely unknown, and Jones was a session guitarist. So no, Zeppelin was not a supergroup. And I’ll add that supergroups, while made up of great musicians, often suffered from internal ego battles and lack of chemistry. Because of these they usually didn’t last long (look at Cream). The strong chemistry between the members is a large part of what made Zeppelin both unique and great. Unsurpassed, in my mind, soaring above all the “supergroups”.
let's not talk about the xxx lyrics , let's not talk about the riff . but just imagine this : you are there at the concert , very near to the stage very near to Robert Plant singing - it was an EXPERIENCE indeed
At 67 i can tell you back in ‘69 back door man simply meant that he wants to be the one leaving out the back door when your OTHER man is coming in the FRONT door. Your secret lover… NOT what you are thinking😂😂. It was a different time . But then, you can still think what you want it to mean… many many have and do. Either way, after soo long its still sounds great. Glad you got to hear them. I heard it new when i was 13 yrs old. … enjoy..
Jimmy Page was one of London’s busiest studio musicians for 7 yrs. before he founded Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones ( bass ) was also a top-notch studio musician in London. Jimmy found Robert Plant ( vocal ) & John Bonham ( drums) searching for musicians in the Midlands of England. The rest … is History. 🇬🇧
Back when this was released a "back door man" was a lover who would run out the back door when the husband came home. These days the use of the phrase is a bit different.
"I'm gunna give you every inch of my love" This must have been before Britain switched to the metric system. Either that or, "every centimeter of my love" just didn't have that... je ne sais quoi?
Whaddya mean 1969 was a helluva long time ago. Not for me it wasn't. The Beatles dominated music in the sixties. But Led Zeppelin towered above all others in the seventies.
I clicked on this knowing that there would be a misunderstanding about "backdoor man." So I'm happy to see it addressed in the opening seconds. lol Back in the era when married women stayed at home ... when the husband leaves out the front door to go to work, the wife's lover sneaks in the back door. The Doors - another psychedelic blues rock band from the same era - have a hit song, "Back Door Man."
The actual 1930s-40s Southern bluesmen usage is when the hard working man of the house comes home and he hears the back door slam as the “back door man” hurriedly sneaks out. Like in ‘Since I've Been Loving You’ Lyrics: I open my front door, I hear my back door slam. You know, I must have one of them newfangled. Newfangled back-door men. But through the years the term changed meaning in many people’s minds like LZ said; 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
Robert Plant: "Shake for me, girl. I wish to surreptitiously enter your house so as to avoid being seen by your husband." sure, Critter. whatever you say!
Hey ! I wish you had reviewed the live version of this from the Madison Square Garden concert ! Try Stairway to Heaven from the Madison Square Garden concert.
The Charts were mainly for "pop" music..... Zeppelin were definitely not POP😂🤣😂🎶. The fact it was in the Charts shows just how popular their music became. Transcendental🎶😂🤣🎶😂🤣💕💕💕💕😎
"Back door man" did NOT have buttsex connotations in. 1969. "Slipping in the back door" only meant surreptitiously entering THE HOUSE. (Not that there's anything wrong about other thing.)
HOW MANY MORE TIMES, MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP, COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN, and THE LEMON SONG are musts for Lulu to hear and straddle. She will be involved on another level of musical theater. Enjoy
Back door man can be taken two ways, one of the ways is, when the husband goes out the front door, he comes in the back door and the other way, well ya know.
The psychedelic portion is supposed to be the sonic expression of an orgasm, thus the rapid breathing. If you want to hear some great channel-switching from right to left earphone and vice-versa, check out the ending of “What is and What Should Never Be”. The bouncing of sound from one speaker to another was amazing back in the day (I’m deaf in one ear now, so I only hear in mono, but it was pretty amazing!)
Zep does do a pretty good cover of this Willie Dixon song ... style influenced by the earlier Small Faces version with the proper title."You Need Lovin"

"Old as hell?" I graduated high school when this came out. So I guess I'm just as old. 🤔 How about the movement of that guitar? Want to hear some guys really high, listen to Iron Butterfly singing "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. This was originally meant to be "In The Garden of Eden". The writer/singer Doug Ingle wrote it after drinking a gallon of Red Mountain wine. When he first performed it he was so drunk, slurring his words the person copying down the words wrote it as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida ".
Jeez, A "back door man" has 2 meanings, 1 When robert sings on "since i've been loving you, after working 16 hours, he goes home, when he open,s the front door, he hears the back door slamming, is a reference to a man leaving in a hurrry, & 2, back door man refers to anal sex.
Do a video of Ghost... so many awesome songs. Love "He is" ,"Call me little sunshine", "Mary on a cross" and many more. They use the best of rock and pop and mix it together with a rock era gimmick. Dont take them seriously -its a show!
"Back door man" only referred to the cheating lover who'd let the husband leave home out front, and this guy would know the back door was open. It has a longer history - in the POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE, there's a reference to the wife leaving the kitchen's backdoor unlocked for her lover to come in. And murder the aged husband, too.
Backdoor man, or, if you prefer backdo main refers to the guy you're cheating with. He's walking in the back door while your old man is walking out the front. Has nothing whatsoever to do with an amateur colonoscopy.
"Back Door Man". . . A VERY old term. . When the husband goes out the front door to go to work, the 'back-door man' comes in to be with the wife. . It has nothing to do with the modern meaning of 'kinky' stuff
For the more mature audience, this has to be the most openly sexual rock tunes ever. Lyrics proof - "deep down inside" , "gonna give you my love (i.e. my sperm)" , and the "Uh, Uh," section - a sex climax, no doubt. Despite this context, Whole Lotta Love has become a rock icon.
Who cares about the lyrics? Come on, people. No one listens to rock music for the lyrics, which are almost always either ridiculous or just bad poetry. It's about the groove. And Zeppelin had it. Pick whatever door you want; it's not important.
I don't understand why this band is so popular. If I want heavy music I find Led Zeppelins guitar tone to be too thin , scratchy and cold sounding. There is no real "tone" I associate with Led Zep, unlike with bands like Van Halen, Black Sabbath or Queen. Jimmy Page is a decent guitarist, if sloppy, but so what, there weren't too many good guitarists around in the late 60s so you were bound to stand out. Even in a band as derided by snobs as KiSS I'd pick Ace Frehleys playing over Page. Nowadays I would rate at least a hundred guitarists above him. Robert Plant lost his voice only a few albums into their career, meaning over half of his performances are hoarse barks. He's doing bluesy screaming, again so what. Far from being the first or even the best. His voice is quite feminine, and there were a lot of great female blues/ soul singers who sound more powerful than him. Plus his English accent sometimes slips into his singing, making his bluesy singing a lot less authentic sounding. And they did a considerable number of hippy type acoustic folky stuff. Well, some people don't like rap, some don't like string quartets, some don't like country and western and I don't like acoustic folk songs. Including Stairway To Heaven. John Bonham, a powerful drummer albeit one dimensional, but how many people listen to a band for the drums? Live albums from the 70s were infamous for their lengthy boring drum solos which nearly everyone skipped. Plus of course their copious plagiarism. Some of their songs are blatant stealing, like Black Mountain Side and Bron Y Aur Stomp, and some are them doing reworked versions of other peoples songs, like Dazed and Confused and .......well, virtually the rest of their first four albums. The main riff to Whole Lotta Love is just a slightly modified version of riff you'll hear hundreds of times in old blues. Even Hey Joe (covered earlier by Hendrix) has a little riff very similar to this riff.
Back then, "back door man" simply meant a secret lover. It was someone who "snuck in through the back door when your husband was gone... In today's oversexualized world, the meaning is likely thought of as a specific sex act.
