Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love | Who or What is  

I'm 66. I met Robert Plant last year. I tried to be cool, but my inner 14 year-old was losing her mind. Please go down the rabbit hole of Zeppelin music. You will be blown away.

I’m 70 and have been listening to Led Zeppelin from the beginning❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

We just ROCKED back in those days. 60s 70s & 80s were the best decades for Rock!

I’m now 69 and in 1980 I found myself with a reel-to-reel of 7+ hours of Zeppelin! How cool that was!

The Mighty Zeppelin - greatest rock band of all time

"No wonder my mom had five babies." LOL Great comments.

I'm 70 and I was a moderate fan of Led Zeppelin when I was in high school, but recently I've began to believe that they are the pinnacle of the entire pyramid of all rock artists of all time. At the very least they are the coolest act of all time.

I find it adorable when younger people don’t realize that they’re puppies in comparison with previous generations.

"back door man" was an old blue line that referred to the guy who was going out the back door as the husband is coming home in the front. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-we3xngKRozE.html

Led Zeppelin: making women blush for 55 years😂😂😂 I still get chills and I’ve been listening since e 1969😅

He was dragging a bow across an electric guitar. Revolutionary

I was 17 when this dropped, and it hit hard. The best way to listen to Led Zeppelin is, to begin with track one of their first album and listen until you reach the last track of their final album. You won't find a bad song.

WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH 🌎 LED ZEPPELIN ❤🎉❤

Well I counted about 8 Seconds to bring a smile. Welcome to the journey of Led Zeppelin.

What is even more interesting than the provocative lyrics is that this was played on the radio. It was not censored. There was no "explicit lyrics" warning on the album.

I was 14 when "Whole Lotta Love" was released. It was a great era. Highly talented exceptionally skilled people giving the world the best rock music the world has ever known or will ever know.

Welcome to Led Zeppelin. The greatest rock band of all time.

Bonzo was arguably the greatest rock drummer ever.

No auto tune all done live without any excuse, just real talent from real musicians not the rubbish you get these days, I am 70 the music I grew up with cannot be equalled by anything produced today

I saw them 5 times in the 70’s in Texas and LA. No rock band better in Concert, and I have seen most of them being 74 years old 😂😂😂

Led Zeppelin had an enormous range of styles. This is not a band about who you can say if you heard one you've heard them all. A case in point would be "Thank You" from the same album as "Whole Lotta Love". "Thank You" is a love song that will touch your heart the way "Whole Lotta Love" touches...other areas. Zeppelin did not write a bad song so start anywhere. Some good introductory songs to this phenomenal band are "Rock and Roll", "Stairway to Heaven" or "Good Times, Bad Times". Enjoy the journey. Loved your reaction btw. Your face said it all.

You need to dive deep into the Zeppelin rabbit hole. I have loved them since I was 12 yrs old in the early 70"s. I am 62 now and still listen to them everyday.

Having been born in the mid 50’s I grew listening to Led Zeppelin and it sure brings back good memories.

Are you a military kid? I was stationed in Europe in the USAF in the 70's and 80's. In 1969, when I was a senior in high school, we listened to this Led Zeppelin album while we were decorating the gym for Junior/Senior Prom (cheesy, huh?), until the teachers starting listening to the lyrics and it was immediately banished! There's lots of good music from the 60's, 70's and 80's for you to enjoy. Thanks for bringing some great memories back to me!! Michael A. Parker, MSgt, USAF(Ret)

since i been loving you live at Madison Square Garden 1973 🙌😍😍😍

Pure genius talent. As Jimmy Page noted..."we were four lads at the top of our game." That's for sure!!!!!

Many experts consider Led Zeppelin as being the premier group in the "Second British Invasion" which featured Cream, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull and Uriah Heep among others. Modern listeners often say they belong to the genre of "classic rock", but they are incorrect as that typically refers to groups like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Moody Blues (i.e. the "First British Invasion") among others. As a matter of fact, back in the day, the music played by groups like Led Zeppelin was originally called "Heavy Rock" but that didn't last long and it became known as "Hard Rock" with the term "Heavy" subsequently referring to groups like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and others (i.e. Heavy Metal). Of course, the term "Metal" has been further subdivided since then ("Black Metal", "Death Metal", etc.) as well.

I’m 77 years old and I’ve been getting the Led out since their beginning.

I'm your mom's age and LOVED your reaction to this! Yeah, Led Zepplin is still responsible for a lot of babies! :-D

For a 60+ yr old Norwegian its fun to see what an American see as provocative in 2024. We listened to this in the 70ies and my children listened to same songs in the late 90ies none of us lifted n eyebrow and found it other than fun 😎😈🇧🇻

How many songs these days have that style, composition, variety & pure craftsmanship? Let alone epic musicianship.

Indeed, things just got hot in here! The Zep wasn't talkin' nothing else. Whole lotta love, baby I been droolin'.

Must do 'Since I been Lovin' You', live from Madison Square Garden, 1973.

No hype at all. The catalog speaks for itself. They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

Led Zeppelin Summarized: 1. Each of the four members was a superior player at their instrument 2. Every album was different, yet every album was fantastic 3. hey were “underground” in the sense that they did not to TV appearances or release singles. If you wanted to see them, you had to see them live. This was before MTV made music all about “image”. Many fans had no idea what they even looked like. They did not need the kind of promotion you see other performers using. 4. They could nor reproduce their studio sound live and did not try. Instead, they expanded on their songs, improvised and played their hearts out. The LOVED performing and it showed. What other bands would go on stage for three hours, then perform encores? 5. They didn’t rely on sidemen to enhance their sound onstage. 6. They didn’t try to replace their drummer when he died, because no one COULD replace him. His intuition couldn’t be reproduced. He was an R & B drummer with an explosively loud sound that no one has ever reproduced and producers copied that sound by overmixing and amplifying drums in the studio. His equal has never been heard yet. 7. They were the antithesis of the empty commercialized contrivances of 80’s pop. 8. "Whole Lotta Love" is just one song and they were impossible to define by one song. Their musical output is remarkably diverse and unmatched for excellence.

" no wonder my mom had five babies . " You cracked me up , Rosalie.

You just listened to the greatest band EVER! You can’t go wrong with any of their songs. Believe it or not, this was only one of a few singles they released, & was played on the radio. Each of these genuses are the GOATS of their craft, & together they were GODS of MUSIC. Any live from Madison Square Gardens (1973), is excellent, especially Since I’ve Been Loving You. Try live at Earls Court (1975), In My Time Of Dying, mind blowing. I could listen to so many more, but I hope you continue with Led Zeppelin, you won’t be sorry. Thanks for you reaction.

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973) (Official Video)

I was introduced to Led Zeppelin in 1974 by my 23 year old Girlfriend in my Bedroom. I was 18 years old. I spent some of the greatest times of my life in that room. Say no more a nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat. You don't know what you missed out on living through the 1970's 😇

You heard it just the way I did. The studio version off LED ZEPPELIN II. Changed my life. Literally. Started playing guitar and singing. Played in bands. Had my own 'rock star' experiences. LIFE CHANGING.

Back door man means the guy who's running out the back door while your man is walking through the front door. Not the other thing you're thinking lol

Greatest band in history! Watch their live performances!! I was 9 years old in 1969 too! I first heard them in 1970! I was hooked!! Jimmy uses a Theramin in the crazy part of this!

People who say they don’t know who Zeppelin is must of course have been living under a rock. I am always surprised by these so called first time reactors. So I am glad you explained your unfortunate missing of Zeppelin. You are back on track now!

10:49 : I was 17 when this song was released. I was married to a musician & had just had my oldest son. It was music all day every day at our house & we discovered that Led Zepplin calmed down a fussy baby & put him right to sleep.

Led Zeppelin was arguably the best Rock Band ever for me (Top 3 with the Beatles and Pink Floyd), you have barely scratched the surface but this was a great intro song into their magnificent catalog. They never repeat themselves and almost every song is great and some are all time classics that many say are their favorite songs in any genre. Your best best like other reactors is go through their 9 albums in order, (many have), 10 discs in total, it will be a sonic journey like no other. Start with song 1 on Led Zeppelin 1, Good Times, Bad Times, great opening track and was the first thing Planet Earth heard when they first got on the radio. Every album is great but a bit different than the one before but 3 of their albums (#2, #4 & #6) are often cited amongst best Rock albums ever. They will freak you out, they certainly did us back in the day and influenced all hard rock and metal bands that came after. They inspired Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath to break the mold and create the first, true Heavy Metal band the following year in 1970. That is another band you need to hear, they had the same shattering impact on the limits of Rock Music that Zeppelin did for hard rock, Sabbath did for metal. And both bands are so easy to get into because their music is so damn good. The great Rock Bands will be heard forever, I am so glad you are taking a chance on the best music in my 69 years. New fans with every reaction, Enjoy! Rock On.🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

One of my greatest memories. I was GIVEN front-row center tickets to Zeppelin in an outdoor concert. It was hot and humid and Robert Plant was dressed much like in this video...and a blue norther (cold front) blew through and dropped the temperature from about 80 to 40 deg F in less than 5 minutes. They had all sorts of pyrotechnics and smoke that were just blown completely off the stage by 30 mph winds. Robert Plant kept singing throughout SOAKED with sweat. Oh, and "back door man" had a completely different meaning when Robert Plant said it - it was meant as the person you were seeing on the side - when your old man headed out the front door, he'd be coming in the back door.

Your reaction after Robert sings,,,"Shake for me girl"...."I wanna be your backdoor man"....!!! Priceless....!!! Cheers

i'm 68 and still listen Led Zep-they hit like a Hammer

Ah, watching a beautiful young woman discover Let Zeppelin for the first time. Just made my day.

LED ZEPPELIN Just brilliant, very good memories. I saw them twice on live . Thank you for reacting

"No wonder my Mom's got five babies!..." Cracks me up sooo much ❤️

A deep dive into the mighty Zep's catalog (esp the live moments) is so well worth it...arguably the most accomplished & diverse heavy rock band OAT

Yep it meant EXACTLY what you thought! But that was just a tiny taste of the incredible range. Check out Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving You" live at Pompeii 1972 BTW as a teen back in the 70's we didn't have Broadband, Social Media or Mobile Phones But we had Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, the "Yin and Yang" that brought balance to our little universe!

All 4 of the members considered to be top 5 in their respective areas...Lead singer, Drums, Guitar and Bass. Basically a super band.

72 now and still think Led Zeppelin was the best rock and roll band. A “back door man”, by the way, is the man that leaves by the back door as the husband or boyfriend comes in the front door. Today, it may be interpreted a wee bit differently. (Google it if you doubt me.)

The irony of this being the theme music for "Top of the Pops" is off the charts.

You haven't lived until you've gone down the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole!!! It would be a shame as a music lover to leave this world without experiencing this band! MUST LISTEN: Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused, When the Levee Breaks, Black Dog, The Immigrant Song, Kashmir, The Rain Song. Just for starters! They are truly a groundbreaking group. Unparalleled talent!

Shout out to John Paul Jones. The greatest bassist and one of the best composers of all time. Led Zeppelin is the greatest blues rock band of all time. Rosalie, you need to listen to Kashmir, The Rain Song, Black Dog, Immigrant Song, Ramble On, When the Levee Breaks, Tangerine, Moby Dick, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Gallows Pole, The Wanton Song, Over The Hills and Far Away, No Quarter, D'Yer Mak'er... so many awesome songs.

“I’m going to be your back door man “back in the days of 1960-70’s mean something different today. It only means then he’ll will finish and go quietly out the back door while your husband is coming thru the front door. No complcations just fun. Really old metal Rock head here. Saw them live in 1971 great gig and show. God Bless. Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Welcome to Led Zeppelin! Best Band Ever! They have so many amazing songs. I would like to suggest you start with Led Zeppelin I, track one “Good Times Bad Times”. However, if you want to just move around their discography, they have 8 studio albums and not one bad song. I’m an OG Fan, same age as your momma. I had brothers that were 19 and 21 when Led Zeppelin hit the rock scene. So, I started young. Their music is the through line of my teenage years. Please continue with your journey of Led Zeppelin. Join us Led Heads in the rabbit hole. ✌🏻☮️🎸

I've been listening to them for 50+ years now. Probably their most famous or recognizable song is "Stairway to Heaven". My favorite is "Kashmir", and Robert Plants as well, from their " Physical Graffiti" album.

THE GREATEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF BANDS.. if you havent listened to this bands albums you are blind to music.

The greatest band of all time!! Fun fact, they were all in their 20’s when they did this!! Absolute legends!!

Loved ur reaction. No other band on the planet has 4 of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth

I am 66 and saw then at the Kingdom in Seattle Wa summer of 1977 and what a concert it was..my parents would hear Zep in my room all the time..what a great band to grow up with..

Always remember Led Zeppelin must be played at max volume. 🎼🎸 🤘

Rosalie, you need to react to "Dazed And Confused", which is off their 1st album. "Whole Lotta Love", is the song that truly launched the bands popularity and is off their 2nd album. I was in 7th grade when this song came out. They are one of the very few heavy rock bands where just about every song they did was popular. Kind of like the way The Beatles were. You can listen to almost every Beatles album and you will have heard almost every song sometime on the radio. Led Zeppelin was like that. Incredible band. My first rock album I ever bought was Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida which was released in 1968. The title track, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, is a little over 17 minutes, and probably has one of the most well known drum solos on it from back in the day. Great reaction, please do more of the classic rock songs, so many for you to choose from.

I got to see Plant sing with Alison Krauss last year in Taos. He still had the swagger.

The great Zeppelin. Still the best after all these years. Very diverse rabbit hole to jump into. Life changing.

One of the greatest British Rock Bands of all time. Think it was the NME which was a music related publication that first coined the term Heavy Metal when explaining Led Zep 🎉🎶🎵🍯🤌🙏🐝🍀

I was still a school kid here in the U.K. during Led Zeppelin’s heyday. Anyone now getting into them for the first time will probably have already heard other later heavy metal bands (that term didn’t exist in the early 70s) but imagine the impact they had on us, when nobody had ever heard anything like it before. They, along with Deep Purple, were creating a whole new genre. Everything was on cherished vinyl, there was no internet, and keeping up with the music scene meant reading “Melody Maker” and the “New Musical Express,” and watching TV shows like “Top Of The Pops” (or for us more serious musos, “The Old Grey Whistle Test.” It seemed like every other week there was a front cover photo, or a centrefold pull out poster, with Robert Plant in all his glory, strutting his stuff. All these years later I still haven’t seen a band other than Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple in which every member is such a virtuoso in their own right, and they made their music without the benefit of the kind of enhancing technology widely used today. They were new and progressive but of a time when bands worked hard at honing their talents rather than relying on modern media for clever marketing and expecting success to be handed to them on a plate. Which is why we will never see their like again.

This stuff doesn't get old. I loved it in the 70's and I still love it. And Mr. Page is so elegant on stage. It's fun to watch. They were terrible in concert in 1977 at the Garden, btw.

John Paul Jones… and it’s Zepplin. Check out Kashmir live, O2 arena.

One of the phrases is not quite as spicy as it first appears. In traditional blues vocabulary, a "backdoor man" is a man on the side; when the main man leaves the house by the front door, the lover sneaks in the other door. Led Zeppelin were ubiquitous in the '70s and released some classics. I'll recommend their 1973 Madison Square Garden concert version of Since I've Been Loving You, which is the official video version from their channel. Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4gT63xovuWE.html

The song is cranked up today when I'm driving

My Brother who is 9 years older than i am. Saw Led Zeppelin in San Francisco in i think about 1970. he introduced me to this band and others like Deep Purple. started my life long love or rock and roll. My first live concert was KISS San Francisco Cow Palace 1975.

You should have seen them live. I almost remember. The air was very smokey at the concert.

This song was considered very rude to the Brits but Americans loved it

Her comments speak volumes! First off her grand parents are way older then zep era if she is early 1980’s! She said “I might know a part of stair way” then to say “they are turning it up on this one!” Then “they are shredding during the guitar solo with the violin bow!

Coolest rock band of all time.

Back door man means something very different today, well in most cases ;-)

"...back door man" (and even "hoochie-coochie man") was used in some blues songs in the1950s e.g. Muddy Waters singing "Mannish Boy" (also uploaded on YT).

My best friend's uncle in L.A. County was the first place I heard Led Zeppelin in the early '70's. One memory is when I went to a friend's house in a different neighborhood and heard Zepp through this dude's window while we walked. The dude was Rocky Dennis upon whom the movie "Mask" with Cher was based. Rocky knew my friend and he said "how's it goin'" to us both. My best friend's dad was one of the bikers that hung out with Rocky's mom. I also remember listening to Zepp while driving drunk the night I got my license; I nearly went off a cliff. Lost my privileges that summer. Thanks for the video, cheers.

The ultimate in coolness 😎 i grew listening to these musical geniuses. Keep up the Led Zeppelin journey, you will not be disappointed. Great reaction!

They weren’t known all around the world??? Wow!! One of the greatest bands ever.

"...His voice is epic..." All of it is epic. You have no idea the rabbit hole you are about to descend into if you continue to explore the greatest band ever assembled.

I had an older brother in a garage band that used to play local parties and such. Led Zeppelin was definitely something I lived with and loved. I remember the day John Bonham died and crying. They're music is so varied, and they were all so supremely talented in their own areas....IMO, there's really been nothing like them before or since.

I was a teenager in the 70's. Listening to the greatest Rock ever made. I wore my Led Zeppelin t-shirt to high school. Everyone wore their rock band shirts. Im almost 63 now and still listen to my rock

I don't have to imagine. Saw em here in Tampa in 73. I was 13. No adult supervision. 😎✌️

"Let's dive down into the lyrics and munch right down on them awhile..." 😂❤

Led Zeppelin. The best then, the best now, the best there will ever be. That song is half a century old and yet it is miles and miles better than anything current.

It's hilarious that this is the first Led Zeppelin song you reacted to. I was eight when Led Zeppelin released their first song. My favorite band. I hope you continue the Led Zeppelin journey. They have so many good songs and every band member is very talented. Going to California, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, there are so many.

Hi Rosalie. If I could recommend one Led Zeppelin song for you, it would be 'Since I've Been Loving You'. I think it'll touch your soul.

Greatest rock band of all time with an amazing body of work, mostly blues based. Check out Since I've Been Loving You live from 1973!

"Shake for me girl! I wanna be your back door man!!” Now imagine your grandmother groovin’ to *this* tune. (I’m of her generation and *I* sure did!). 😋😉 FYI, "back door man" had a different connotation at that time than what it often means today. It was to signify a guy who would come to ‘visit’ through the back door as the ‘man of the house’ was leaving out the front door.

I am in my 70s now. This was the popular music of my generation. So glad to see another generation enjoying this music. This song was what my friends and I referred to as a "hose chant." LOL ! It's one of the best.

You have so much to learn and listen to from this group they are one of the top influential rock bands of all time you have heard nothing yet.

Love your reactions. There’s a reason why they are still regarded by many as the GOAT. Can’t wait to see you react to some of their live performances! No auto tune. Nothing fake. Just raw talent. Still doing it too. Your reactions make me feel like I’m enjoying them all over again. Here’s hoping you do a deep, deep dive. You’ll love it.

Cute reaction sweetheart, really enjoyed it. I saw them as a teenager in concert in 1974. The 70’s was the golden age of Rock Concerts.

For more than 50 years one of the best bands of all time. I loved them the first time I heard them in the 70s and I love them now.
