This song happened out of the blue while attempting to record a different song. They were getting frustrated because it wasn't working until drummer John Bonham started playing the drum part of the Little Richard song Keep A' Knockin. It sounded so good, they continued with this and set the other song aside to finish another day. This song is a nod to Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and other Rock and Roll style musicians. For example, they mention "It's been a long time since I did the stroll" the stroll was a dance from the late '50s. They also mention "the Book of Love" which was the name of a song by the Monotones which came out in 1957. The boogie woogie style piano is played by Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart.
I've heard this song literally hundreds of times and not once have I ever thought once what it's about. It's just great rock n roll to lose yourself in.
I've always interpreted 'Rock n Roll' as reminiscing back at the 50's rock tunes by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee or Elvis....Plant wishes those times could return. 'Let me get back, baby, where I come from...' It's Zeppelin's ode to that time.
On first glance, Page’s guitar takes your breath away. But, as you listen more, you come to appreciate Bonham’s drums, Plant’s voice, and then, Jone’s versatility. Just amazing when you put them all together. We’ll not see something like them again.
@James Buckingham. Beats are Not protected by copyright. Melodies and lyrics are. 😉 Havng said that, get a grip and deal with the reality that many bands have done so.
Lex loves Led Zeppelin!!! She fell in love with Led Zeppelin in 6 seconds when she reacted to "Whole Lotta Love!!!" Led Zeppelin are soooooo versatile!!! that's music critics and fans like me consider them as the greatest Rock n' Roll band EVER!!!!!
Lex doesn't miss a thing, hearing the piano come in, which totally gave it that old school rock n roll vibe like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, adding intensity and brightness. Led Zepplin grew up into those guys, and Robert Plant loved Elvis, so Brad totally caught that. That Led Zeppelin song helped reinvent or modernize what straight up rock n roll could sound like, with a symphony of guitar sounds throughout plus an insane solo, the relentless Bonham drum beat, with John Paul Jones keeping pace, Plant's wailing. Jimmy Page is the GOAT in guitar playing and the producing/engineering. If you want to hear a song with incredible guitar and vocal layers, check out Achilles Last Stand.
Zep has always been know for their wall of sound. This band has everything. You want some slow melodic, jams they have it. You want fast in your face rock, they have it. You want grungie blues, they have it. 4 of THE BEST musicians that have ever graced the stage!
This song pretty much what Zep was all about. Heavy Bonham drums, slick Jimmy guitars, Robert doing his things on vocals and JPJ mashing it towards the end - most people don't even hear the keys during the 2nd part of the tune. THIS is what they were. And they were one of the best ever at it. Nice job guys :)
I love how almost every time Brad hears a simple 3 chord rock song, with few instruments, dude is like "There's so much going on"... lol. I mean, it doesn't get any less complex than this. How can you not find the beat on the simplest possible beat??? There may not be a musical bone in that man's body, but you have to appreciate the effort. He's coming along slowly but surely.
This song is literally an ode to the origins of Rock and Roll which is why the name is perfect. Little Richard, Elvis, Chuck Berry etc…..they each have an influence here.
Zeppelin's my favorite band, but that song is one of the weakest in their entire hundred-song catalog...not helped by its excessive length. More like a 10-minute "masterpiece" of meandering musical mediocrity. Brad & Lex, don't waste your time with the track, it's not reaction-worthy.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Wow nice alliteration, what are you some kind of poet? Geez I'm just suggesting a song that I and a lot of other people think is great, if you don't like the song just don't watch them react to it.
@@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan Not a poet, just brilliant all around. Thanks. I'm afraid it's not so simple as, "just don't watch it". I dig these reactors (Lex, mostly, of course), and I'm hoping they'll continue reacting to Zep, my favorite band. So the last thing I want is for them to react to a dud song from the catalog, and stop reacting to the band. I've seen it happen before with other reactors--one bad song from a band and even if they liked them prior to that reaction, they put them on the back burner for new (new to them) bands, and never get back to them. If they'd already reacted to 40 of the best Zeppelin tunes, then I probably would've been reticent on the matter.
@@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan It says Comments up above. It does not say All Comments Must Agree. Just don't watch them react to it? That's like saying just don't read the replies to your comment.
Brad, the Elvis analogy was spot on. And as soon as you said it, Lex expanded on the concept perfectly. Yes, this song was a bit of a tribute to all of the early 1950's Rock n' Roll that the guys grew up listening to, and Elvis was a huge part of that. You guys are awesome! Peace
When you open the zeppelin catalog you need to go through the entire collection to understand just how diverse these guys were. Blues, rock, country, deep south bayou. They rolled them all into one and took it to the moon.
The evolution of rock music, Led Zeppelin is definitely in the forefront. They were true gifted musicians and you can certainly hear it with all of the layers in their songs.
The piano is played by Ian Stewart, co-founder of The Rolling Stones. Speak of classy, 'Stewy' left the band to keep the guitar vibe but stayed with them as Road Manager and great friend.
Another homage to the songs of the 50's and 60's they grew up listening to on the radio. Elvis was a huge part of that, as well as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Lex, you have a beautiful spirit, don't ever loose the love in your heart! Brad, your smile can light up a room, you should show it more...💋
The song is a throwback to 1950s rock. The band came up w/it during a jam session. Robert Plant is an Elvis fan and a fan of 50s music so, good job you guys👍👍 Lex, you know your Zeppelin😉😉
Still the best Rock and Blue's band ever put together at least in my life time.I'm 67yrs old and I still haven't heard any band that could or can keep up this band was and is the best damn band in the land anybody's land.
Guys, this is one one the best rock and roll bands of all time. Nothing should surprise you by now! When the levee breaks, Going to California, so many more great ones!
It feels very strange to me to think that there are people that have never listened to - or about! - Led Zeppelin. I and most of my family and friends have been listening to this since our childhood, just like mother's milk it brought us up all along.
This band was formed in an industrial area of the W Midlands of England known as the ‘Black Country’ due to the dirt and smoke from the steelworks etc. Zep did a song called ‘Black Country Woman’ and is so often missinterpreted - worth a listen.
A man looking back on his life and love, probably with the same woman, and recalling their passions in those days when they were young and danced to early rock 'n roll. This music harkens back to the rhythms of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Great rock and roll from an era earlier than LZ.
Heart idolized Zeppelin, and was their primary inspiration. How overwhelming it must've been to them to perform Zeppelin's signature song live in front of the 3 surviving members of Zep!
This song is about the early days of rock & roll. It references a couple songs from that era, such as The Stroll by The Diamonds and Book Of Love by The Monotones. Like so many musicians of that era, the members of Led Zeppelin were deeply influenced by the pop music of the '50s, as well as by even older blues artists. This is one of my favorite songs from them. To hear a song from that time that should remind you of Zep's Rock & Roll, you might want to listen to Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven.
It defines “Rock and Roll” the genre…it literally perfects the genre in the purist sense of the word and those that were on top when the phrase was coined by Alan Freed….only Zep can master the classification so brilliantly
Brad (kinda) likes a Zep tune, YES!! With them sometimes you just gotta let the beat slide & go with it, cause they're always using complicated time signatures, which ADDS to the track IMO. Now that you've heard a fast one from them, try a real slow and dreamy one with "The Rain Song." Lex will love it; Brad...we're not sure lol. ✌
Elvis was a fan of Led Zep and called for them to visit him at Gracelands. they got on really well, Elvis gave Jimmy page his gold rolex as a parting gift
I saw Led Zeppelin in concert in St. Louis with my brother in February 1975. They opened with Rock and Roll. It was THE concert of my life and I have been to hundreds of concerts.
Way, way back in 1977 I saw Heart live. It was August 16th, the day Elvis died. They dedicated the last song of their encore to the "King of Rock and Roll", that song was Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll"
Can't go wrong with Led Zeppelin! They were one of my all time favorite bands to see in concert (April 15, 1977-St. Paul, MN). It was awesome!!! The bass player (John Paul Jones) also plays the keys, loved them in this song. Your reactions are great, so honest. Always a pleasure to see you guys react.
If you want fast Led Zeppelin try Communication Breakdown. Easily their hardest. Also Good Times Bad Times, a really hard and dirty track. Both tracks underrated imo.
@@HeavyTopspin Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid is probably my favorite by Zep. Can't beat Heartbreaker's guitar riff! Another fast Zep song for them to try: Trampled Underfoot.
Since Brad mentioned it sounding a little like Elvis: They both had their roots in Mississippi blues. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were both huge Elvis fans. There is a great story if you run a search for it, that is too long to just post here (as it was told by Robert Plant on David Letterman show). It ends with Elvis coming out into the hallway as Led Zeppelin were leaving his hotel room and him and Robert singing "Love me" together.
Led Zeppelin's 'IV' album had the mix of hard rock & acoustic songs... 8 songs, all killer🔥🔥🔥⚡🤘 'Black dog' ... 'Rock and roll' ... The Battle of Evermore' ... 'Stairway to heaven' 'Misty mountain hop' ... 'Four sticks' ... 'Going to California'... 'When the levee breaks'.
Zeppelin has so many varieties of sound. Heres some different stuff: Hey Hey, What Can I do. Black Country Woman Thank You Heart Breaker Going To California Each song has its own sounds unlike youve yet to hear
Yeah, Communication Breakdown would be a great choice for some fast, crash and burn Led Zeppelin tune. I believe you've already done Immigrant Song? One song I haven't seen a reaction to yet is Four Sticks.
When I saw HEART in 1977, they closed the show with this Zeppelin song. I saw Heart last year and they did it at the show I saw. Heart always did a bunch or Led Zeppelin covers early on. I watched your Stairway To Heaven video from The Kennedy Center Honors and it was only fitting that Heart was there honoring them.
Not too complex, it's just a blues, turned way up. Three chords repeated over and over. Hard driving with powerful drumming, great guitar solos and strong vocals with a 1950s style piano riff thrown in. Can't go wrong with Zep for sure, many great ones to react to. I'd recommend How Many More Times and Dazed and Confused if you haven't already done those.
It's interesting you bring up the fact that LZ songs sound layered. Jimmy Page has actually referred to this as orchestrating the music like an army, a guitar army. You can here this in songs like: Gallows Pole Ten Years Gone Achilles Last stand In the light
I LOVE watching these videos Lexi is just getting SO INTO Led Zeppelin, and Brad is really trying to catch up with her, and I think it's awesome! Try listening to some other songs, like Kashmir, The Rain Song, In The Light, Gallows Pole, oh, so many more!!! 😊
The stroll was a dance in the 50's. Book of love was a hit song in the early days. Walkin' in the moonlight...same thang. In the days of ... Rock-n-Roll!!!!!
You caught that right Brad, Robert Plant loved Elvis, the band used to go to Vegas to see Elvis perform and got to meet him. There's a interview on utube with Robert Plant about Elvis.You should watch it its pretty interesting. 😍
-Yeah, around _half_ of my tastes in music come from both of my parents. Led Zeppelin's 'Rock and Roll' starts off fast and keeps that same speed the whole way through. It's a fast, fun Rock song. I'm saying this as a _38 year old!_ LOL.
Classic Led Zep R'n'R, Always turned me on!...Good job fellows! For a transcending Led Zeppelin moment : Kashmir , Live from Celebration Day! Keep Going you two 💕
Cant believe this album is 50 years old this week.......... still sounds as fresh as ever.
That album will never ever get old!!!!!
Wow! 50 years! You're making me feel old. Lol.
I got it as a Christmas gift as a kid...I was 12....

Layed back Zep ain't the norm! Kickin ass is! You guys need to listen to a little more Zepplin! LOL
Well ... both are Zep norms.
Might help if you knew how to spell their name.
Brad says "I'm not a lover boy?" I would be if I was with Lex.
I legit thought they were brother and sister. They dont act at all like a couple
@@woahblackbettybamalam They've been together since they were in school. I think they're past the "can't keep their hands off each other" stage.
@@unholydriver4987 They are too young to keep their hands off each other as a couple, I should know I'm a 60 year old married man for 18 years.
Hey Guys, Plant is singing about how he misses the early rock. Book of love is a 60's song and the stroll is a dance that my mother did in high school
Lex: your smile and obvious delight in this music is absolutely infectious and inspiring!
So you wanted a fast Led Zeppelin eh? :)
Not too complex, it's just a blues, turned way up. Three chords repeated over and over. Hard driving with powerful drumming, great guitar solos and strong vocals with a 1950s style piano riff thrown in. Can't go wrong with Zep for sure, many great ones to react to. I'd recommend How Many More Times and Dazed and Confused if you haven't already done those.
Thanks expert🙄 maybe they aren't as knowledgeable as you
Sounds like the opening narration to a Greta Van Fleet movie.
When hear their outro "music" it makes perfect sense.
The sound of popcorn popping would be too complex for him.
Led Zeppelin has dozens of sounds rock country india r&b. They were so far ahead of their time. Wish i was born 15 years earlier and seen them live
OMG, don't you just want to shake Brad and say "It's Rock and Roll! loosen up!"
It's interesting you bring up the fact that LZ songs sound layered. Jimmy Page has actually referred to this as orchestrating the music like an army, a guitar army.
You can here this in songs like:
Gallows Pole
Ten Years Gone
Achilles Last stand
In the light
Brad's opinions annoy me, luckily I got Lex lol
I'm glad I'm not th only one! It's like he thinks there's some great, hidden meaning to every song, when most of its jus frivolous but a total vibe
But he’s reacting to it honestly.. you want him to lie?
I LOVE watching these videos Lexi is just getting SO INTO Led Zeppelin, and Brad is really trying to catch up with her, and I think it's awesome! Try listening to some other songs, like Kashmir, The Rain Song, In The Light, Gallows Pole, oh, so many more!!! 😊
The stroll was a dance in the 50's.
Book of love was a hit song in the early days. Walkin' in the moonlight...same thang.
In the days of ...
Rock-n-Roll!!!!!
Lex gets it. Brad is so confused. How could this song confuse you and why do you need the lyrics? Good God!
I can tell by her head movements that Lex gets into the drumming groove that BONZO lays down! You go Girl! ! !***
You caught that right Brad, Robert Plant loved Elvis, the band used to go to Vegas to see Elvis perform and got to meet him. There's a interview on utube with Robert Plant about Elvis.You should watch it its pretty interesting. 😍
-Yeah, around _half_ of my tastes in music come from both of my parents. Led Zeppelin's 'Rock and Roll' starts off fast and keeps that same speed the whole way through.
It's a fast, fun Rock song. I'm saying this as a _38 year old!_ LOL.
"The Song Remains the Same" is another high energy song by them, great song too
An adrenaline song!!!
This song gets played after a long work week......and the weekend has started!!!
Wow I think you are the first to do a reaction to this song! Lots of memories with this one!
Classic Led Zep R'n'R, Always turned me on!...Good job fellows!
For a transcending Led Zeppelin moment : Kashmir , Live from Celebration Day!
Keep Going you two 💕
Favorite Led Zeppelin song.
The best song to end a concert with !! Ever!!
In the Light
Ten Years Gone
The Ocean
The Song Remains the Same
Keep on rocking guys. .
Great call on the piano track. That was Nicky Hopkins btw one of the few guest appearances on a Zeppelin album.
Rock n Roll! Hammer of the Gods. Great reaction choice! Heart covers this song in concert 🎵
