John "Bonzo" Bonham was the hardest hitting (as well as one of the greatest) drummer in all of rockdom. He used massive sticks and had to replace drum heads on a regular basis. He's the driving force behind all of Zeppelin's bangers and a main reason the band was nicknamed "Hammer of the Gods."
You are so right Julie,if you get a chance Julie watche yoyoka a young Japanese drummer who does a lot of led covers. I thins somewhere in her comments that she loved covering bonzo and respected him alot.@@juliemanarin4127
You may think you're getting into a Led Zeppelin vibe, but as you explore further you'll find the vibe of every album is different, often changes within the album and it just gets better every time. Best rock band of all time. Also, everyone's a viking when the "Immigrant Song" plays.
@billtaylor3382 You mean this was the first Zep album you bought? Because this is actually off the 3rd album. BTW I was at this gig. Sydney Showground 1972.
If you really want to see and hear how great of a drummer Bonzo was check out Royal Albert Hall version of "Moby Dick". Its 15 minute drum solo but you'll realize why John "Bonzo" Bonham is considered the greatest drummer of all time and not just rock.
Lol. That “yelling note” could also be described as a viking war cry. Well, it’s hard not to submit to such a sound. They can bring you to the edge of chaos, have you look deep into the abyss and then yank you back from the brink. A dictionary of superlatives can only begin to describe them. And they were that way from the start. Check out their first TV performance of How Many More Times live from Denmark Radio 1969 to see it on full display. Enjoy the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole, there’s none better.
Robert Plant has an illustrious solo career. He is in fact one of those musicians who has aged gracefully - never shied away from experimentation while not forgetting his roots and age. Big Log, Little by Little, Ship of Fools, 29 Palms, Carry Fire, etc. are some of the songs you may choose to react to. The emotional outpouring that I witness while you react is so honest and overwhelming! Please carry on...
The musical diversity of LZ is incredible. You’ve only scratched the surface. It’s so cool seeing young people discovering their music. Greatest rock band ever!!
I think the producers put songs like this into movies so that the parents that are dragged to these movies by their kids can get a bit of enjoyment, too. Not saying that the Shreck series are bad, but not my cup of tea. "Sissy, why is Daddy playing air-drums?!"
As I said before, they are big fans of Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, fairy tales and various mythologies and lore from around the world. They talk about Valhalla in this song. They were nerds just like us! 🤓
There are two types of people in the world, the ones who realize years later the Shrek tune was led Zeppelin, and the ones who were watching Shrek and instantly started singing along. Both are cool in my eyes!
This video is from Led Zeppelin's 1972 tour of Australia and New Zealand, specifically, their concert on February 27th 1972 at the Sydney Showgrounds. Nearly 52 years ago when I was 17. 38,000 attended the concert. As an Aussie of Viking ancestry, the Immigrant Song is one of my all time favourites. Glad you rediscovered this classic.
I was there, I was 17 at the time...The film footage taken from the band's performance at the Sydney Showground in Australia in February 1972; The audio track was from a Long Beach Arena show, in Los Angeles, in 1972.
The constant smile you had throughout the song pretty much mirrors how most of us feel about Led Zeppelin. A very deep and rich catalog. Don’t stop your journey. Check out RAMBLE ON
I am 73 , former band rocker and a Zepper. Welcome to the club Stacey. You have started an amazing journey with them. Check out , (if you have not already) the live concert rendition of "Dazed and Confused", "In My Time Of Dying", and any other live concert gig. I was lucky to see them live at Long Beach arena back in 1975. Tickets $10.50 for a 3 1/2 hour Rock blast. Peace. Enjoy.
It’s Led Zeppelin’s song, it’s in different shows, including The School of Rock with Jack Black. I believe like 11 of their songs are in movie’s commercials shows. The wrote this after going to Iceland, it’s Vikings related.
For sure and Bill Ward from Black Sabbath (same time frame) . Read somewhere that Bill Ward refused to let Bonham use his kit because he just literally destroys them.
The fact that you couldn’t stop grooving is all of the musical knowledge you need. I love watching the minting of new Led Zeppelin fans. It never occurred to me that people under 30 may never have heard them before. Welcome to a fun ride!
You are still just scratching the surface with Led Zeppelin. I recommend Going to California, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, The Battle of Evermore, Ten Years Gone, Achilles Last Stand, Black Dog or Dazed and Confused. I could go on and on.
Back in the 80’s I ran an amusement park ride, The Scrambler, in a dome with lights and music. Nothing preprogrammed. Everything was manual and at the operators discretion. This was known as “The punishment song” because at only 2:27, you tick off the operator you get the shortest song we could come up with.
I also was fixated more on Bonzo, but then again he's my favorite drummer. I could easily populate a list of 10 drummers that I think are fantastic, and a whole bunch more that are really good, but as far as the overall package, and just going on instinct, I just love the way John Bonham plays music so much.
The simplest way I look at Led Zeppelin was that Jimmy and John Paul Jones cut their teeth as studio musicians who learned how to create and produce the sound they wanted. Robert and John Bonham brought youthful enthusiasm with balls to the walls energy. In the 70s, we had to start with the studio versions, unless you got to see them in concert, until the concert movie, "The Song Remains the Same" was released. I enjoy both versions of the songs for different reasons. Keep going , Stacey!
Led Zeppelin *definitely* played around with the studio arrangements of many of their songs in concert. That is one of many reasons that hearing Zeppelin live is a must. You will hear new things that simply don't exist in some of the studio versions of their songs. The great guitar solo in this live recording of "The Immigrant Song" is completely different from anything in the studio version.
If you haven’t listened to Achilles Last Stand, that the instrumentals crazy. Plant was in a wheelchair when they recorded that & the album, after him & family were in a bad car accident in Greece. He was in a wheelchair for a year, not knowing if he’d walk again, almost called the wheelchair song.
Stomping! I love Robbies way of pronouncing "Valhalla, I am coming" (especially in the album version) as if he really is longing to get there. This must be around the same time where all the "Lords of the Rings" references started sneaking into their lyrics.
@@StaceyRPGReacts It was a blast. We had a very special culture back then. Young adults shared with one another, we bonded, we were all friends even if we just met, we had REAL freedom. The music was the best in history. No auto tune, no fake pre-recorded music coming out of the PA system, just pure talent. I can make you a laundry list of fabulous bands back then that would blow your mind listening to. To name a few, The Hollies, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues, The Doors, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Star Castle, Rush, Dust, King Crimson, The Band, Steppenwolf, Frank Zappa, Styx, lynyrd skynyrd, The Who, The Greatful Dead, Santana, Joe Cocker, Credence Clearwater Revival, Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon, Elton John, Alce Cooper, The Guess Who, The Strawbs, Gypsy, Heart, Bob Dylan. Too many to name, I can go on, and on all night dropping names. I didn't hang posters on my bedroom wall back then. I used ticket stubs from the concerts I attended as wall paper. FYI, not bragging but, I saw Zeppelin live 5 times. Tickets prices back then were $2.50, $3.50, and for the front row a staggering $4.50. No one puts on acts like these 60''s -70's bands and nothing can compare today.
Also, Heartbreaker, Ramble on, Bring it on Home, Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Misty mountain hop, When the Levee Breaks, The song remains the same, The rain song, Over the hills and far away, No Quarter, In my time of dying, Ten years gone, Achilles last stand, Fool in the rain……just to name a few. These songs are all well known Zeppelin classics. ….and there are so many more. Enjoy!
Jimmy Page's playing was once described by some critic back in the day as "sloppy perfection." He was perfectly capable of playing technically, as before Led Zep he was a sought after session musician, and you don't get to be one of those unless you can play or invent parts in practically any style, on the fly, and do it basically perfectly in one or two takes. But in Zeppelin, especially live, he would improvise and play with feeling more than technical perfection, while still being in control. That's why he's one of the GOATS, and his playing is so different from anyone else and so recognizable. Lots could be said about Bonham, but I'm a stringed instrument guy (with a little harmonica and keyboard thrown in), not a drummer so I'll leave that to people who know drums. All I know is he hit hard, always gave the song what it needed, was seemingly unfazed by strange time signatures and changes, and thew in some of the most badass fills at the right times. Robert, at his prime, had so much soul and passion dripping from his voice it was insane. John Paul Jones, while often overlooked, is a multi-instrumentalist and a musical genius, and I think he was probably the glue that held the rest together, musically speaking. At the very least Zeppelin wouldn't have been Zeppelin without him. 4 GOATs formed a band that was even greater than the sum of its parts.
This has been in many movies; I could see it on your face as soon as they started. It was also in Thor: Ragnarok, School of Rock, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Soldier (1998), and yes, Shrek the Third.
Two songs from their Physical Graffiti album ( The Rover and My Time Of Dying ) are worth checking out but they are much longer. Different style. Take care.😃
This epic song also featured in the movie School of Rock with Jack Black desperately trying to teach modern kids the importance of “real” music! He was also hilarious as one of the introducers of acts at the Kennedy Centre presentation which you watched when Heart sang Stairway…
Love Led Zeppelin. In fact the very first album I ever bought was their 4th album, which has so many amazing tracks. Having said all that, Trent Reznor and Atticus did a very good cover that was used over the opening credits of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Craig Daniel's version).
Enjoy your reactions. I think you really would like (thank you.) It's a love poem to his wife after they started become successful. Studio version. They're different than the live ones because they add Libs so much on stage
My initiation to Led Zeppelin was back in high school. So hard to get my head around the fact my class just celebrated their 40th anniversary! Stacy, you look amazing! So glad to see you're a fellow 😺 cat lover! I'm sure you will agree with many of us: Love that Led!
You really should look into a song from the Celebration Day concert, they were so good. Robert needed a song or two to warm up, after that they were so great. And it was their swan song (probably)
This was written in Iceland where they isolated themselves to write and record music. They needed one more song, and wrote of Thor as a nod to Vikings and Iceland. They considered it a joke song - Became their only #1 hit I believe. Ton's of #2's, but this was their only one to make it to the top. Another movie this was in was Thor: Ragnarock.
Well done! Another excellent reaction from you! After Pink Floyd they are my favorite band of all time. It is amazing how they managed to sound live as if there were at least 55 of them playing on stage and not just four of them. Incredible energy and incredible talent. Stacy you did a great job again. Keep it up!
@@juliemanarin4127 Well, a matter of personal taste. When I was younger I liked Led Zeppelin more. When I got older Pink Floyd took over the top spot. And actually, most honestly, both bands are on the same level. sometimes I prefer PF, sometimes LZ. Greeting!
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are a flip of the coin for me, the one thing in Zeppelin's favor is they never made a bad or questionable album, for Floyd before Meddle, that was sometimes the case. All in experimenting to hit their stride, when they did, they were as good as anybody. Zeppelin found theirs in their first rehearsal.
I remember hearing that Led Zeppelin famously refused to let their songs be used in soundtracks (see Wayne’s World’s StH joke), until Jack Black approached them to use this in School of Rock. The premise of the movie was enough to convince them, and since then they’ve been a little more receptive to offers, though I hear they make bank big time in Royalties.
Great reaction and insight. More LED for your head: RAMBLE ON, GOOD TIMES; BAD TIMES, KASHMIRE, GOING TO CALIFORNIA, LEVEE BREAKS, DAZED AND CONFUSED, LEMON SONG, and COMMUNICATION BREAK DOWN. You’re awesome 😎 Keep it up 👍
Imagine being a hormonal 16 year old seeing this live twice in one week! That would be me in ‘77, in NYC. I ADORE LZ! And Robert Plant was my teenage fantasy. His nickname was “The Golden God”
You young folks have probably heard it because it was on the American version of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo although it wasn’t Zepplin that did it there.
to properly get into zeppelin,l go from track 1 album 1 and go from there. a few rreeactrors have done that epic journey and theyve all loved it. ps they were so young then! singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did the 1st album!!
This song is also in, appropriately, THOR:RAGNAROK, at the beginning, and at the end, and considering Thor is the Viking god of thunder, and the song is about the Norsemen, they mention Valhalla, the hall of fallen Viking heroes.
It's funny when my generation heard this song while, I don't know, playing our records and doing bong hits with friends. But younger generations recall hearing it, I don't know, maybe once or so when watching a Shrek or Thor movie. Had all of their albums and this one is the opening track on Zeppelin III.
Soooo many amazing songs...I love this song and it's probably not in my top 10-20 LZ songs. They are That good!!! Songs that really do it for me...Dazed and Confused, When the Levee Breaks, How Many More Times, Thank You, In My Time of Dying, Going to California, Ten Years Gone, ... have fun!!
The real led Zeppelin immigrant song ever used was in jack Blacks movie school of rock and Thor Ragnarok! Thor was a perfect movie for the song because this song is about vikings
Zepplin began in blues, but they moved beyond this in later LPs. "That's the Way" and "No Quarter" are quite different. They are definitely one of the top Rock 15-20 bands.
If you wish to hear the drummer of Led Zeppelin doing a solo to prove his status as the best there is or ever was, watch their Live performance of 'Moby Dick'. If you wish to hear another side to the band that you would never believe they created, listen to 'D'yer Maker' pronounced 'Jai-maca' in the British accent.
I listened to Led Zeppelin at 4 am and my neighbours called the police. The police arrested them.
(By the way, I stole this comment from some guy.)
😅
The Police?
😂😂
hope they put them in solitary confinement with nothing but Zep blasting. LOL. They would come out as new good people, and not the criminals they were
John "Bonzo" Bonham was the hardest hitting (as well as one of the greatest) drummer in all of rockdom. He used massive sticks and had to replace drum heads on a regular basis. He's the driving force behind all of Zeppelin's bangers and a main reason the band was nicknamed "Hammer of the Gods."
When he died that is why the band quit
John Bonham is my musical hero. He makes Zeppelin live and breathe.
Very true timothy@@timothybrennan3600
Was and always will be the greatest!
You are so right Julie,if you get a chance Julie watche yoyoka a young Japanese drummer who does a lot of led covers. I thins somewhere in her comments that she loved covering bonzo and respected him alot.@@juliemanarin4127

So unbelievably diverse! You haven't heard anything yet!!
it littarly plays in thor ragnarok so...
@@Mattje_pattatje2024 Nobody cares about the MCU anymore
I'm so glad I grew up when really talented musicians played real instruments and wrote great songs, still holding up till now, amazing
Immigrant Song was also used in the School of Rock and Thor Ragnarok movies.
Stacey, you say you’re not a musically savvy person? You rock to Led Zeppelin. That is the definition of a musically savvy person
The chemistry in the band is incredible 🎉
John Paul Jones and Bonham are the driving force……provide a landscape for Jimmy and Robert to just show their skill. Amazing Band.
Hi Stacey, I'm 65 soon to be 66, I was 11 years old when I bought this 1st Album and totally fell in love with the band. My all time favorite band!😎
Same...I'm 64 and at 10 years old I heard their first album from a babysitter...I've been hooked ever since!!
@billtaylor3382 You mean this was the first Zep album you bought? Because this is actually off the 3rd album. BTW I was at this gig. Sydney Showground 1972.

Every drummer considers Bonham the greatest ever. You’re not alone.
Absolutely!
Neil Peart!
For sure and Bill Ward from Black Sabbath (same time frame) . Read somewhere that Bill Ward refused to let Bonham use his kit because he just literally destroys them.

@@juliemanarin4127 Well, a matter of personal taste. When I was younger I liked Led Zeppelin more. When I got older Pink Floyd took over the top spot. And actually, most honestly, both bands are on the same level. sometimes I prefer PF, sometimes LZ. Greeting!
For me it’s the opposite, Led Zeppelin then Pink Floyd, both great & great songs opposite the spectrum.
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are a flip of the coin for me, the one thing in Zeppelin's favor is they never made a bad or questionable album, for Floyd before Meddle, that was sometimes the case. All in experimenting to hit their stride, when they did, they were as good as anybody. Zeppelin found theirs in their first rehearsal.
@@vicprovost2561 I agree
I remember hearing that Led Zeppelin famously refused to let their songs be used in soundtracks (see Wayne’s World’s StH joke), until Jack Black approached them to use this in School of Rock. The premise of the movie was enough to convince them, and since then they’ve been a little more receptive to offers, though I hear they make bank big time in Royalties.
Great reaction and insight.
More LED for your head: RAMBLE ON, GOOD TIMES; BAD TIMES, KASHMIRE, GOING TO CALIFORNIA, LEVEE BREAKS, DAZED AND CONFUSED, LEMON SONG, and COMMUNICATION BREAK DOWN.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
This song is about the Viking invasions of GB over 1,000 years ago.
Led Zeppelin best the best.
Они легендарные чуваки чья музыка не стареет.
This song is used near the beginning & end of THOR Ragnarok!
Song remains the same is a great movie , have a listen you won’t be disappointed. God Bless young lady 🙏❤️🙌🏻😎
I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times live!!! And that the best 3 concerts by far.and I seen lots and lots bands thay were great!
Imagine being a hormonal 16 year old seeing this live twice in one week! That would be me in ‘77, in NYC. I ADORE LZ! And Robert Plant was my teenage fantasy. His nickname was “The Golden God”
You young folks have probably heard it because it was on the American version of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo although it wasn’t Zepplin that did it there.
John Bonham and John Paul Jones are just kickin it big time....Jimmy and Robert were awesome too!
to properly get into zeppelin,l go from track 1 album 1 and go from there. a few rreeactrors have done that epic journey and theyve all loved it. ps they were so young then! singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did the 1st album!!
This song was also in the movie Thor: Ragnarok.
Great group, great song, great reaction.
This song is also in, appropriately, THOR:RAGNAROK, at the beginning, and at the end, and considering Thor is the Viking god of thunder, and the song is about the Norsemen, they mention Valhalla, the hall of fallen Viking heroes.
The way the lead guitar and bass guitar sound like they're playing the same line
To this day they still hold records for single act performance
@UCHUshITxGPQQ24tb2WQyxBg nice to talk to you also it would be, I don’t have telegram,now what?
The opening vocal is a damn war cry!
This is the song you need to be playing in a loop while playing Assassin's Creed:Vahalla.😁
It's funny when my generation heard this song while, I don't know, playing our records and doing bong hits with friends. But younger generations recall hearing it, I don't know, maybe once or so when watching a Shrek or Thor movie. Had all of their albums and this one is the opening track on Zeppelin III.
Soooo many amazing songs...I love this song and it's probably not in my top 10-20 LZ songs. They are That good!!! Songs that really do it for me...Dazed and Confused, When the Levee Breaks, How Many More Times, Thank You, In My Time of Dying, Going to California, Ten Years Gone, ... have fun!!
HAHAH the first second I saw your face when you knew that you've heard this song, I knew you were thinking about the movie Shrek xDD
Yes absolutely the BEST rock band ever, Earl's Court 1975 "trampled under foot" a must see
The real led Zeppelin immigrant song ever used was in jack Blacks movie school of rock and Thor Ragnarok! Thor was a perfect movie for the song because this song is about vikings
Zepplin began in blues, but they moved beyond this in later LPs. "That's the Way" and "No Quarter" are quite different. They are definitely one of the top Rock 15-20 bands.
Arguably anywhere in the top 5. Though to be honest once you get to the best of the best artists it's just a matter of preference
"Anyone who's seen Shrek has heard this song"....LMAO, I shed a tear
If you wish to hear the drummer of Led Zeppelin doing a solo to prove his status as the best there is or ever was, watch their Live performance of 'Moby Dick'. If you wish to hear another side to the band that you would never believe they created, listen to 'D'yer Maker' pronounced 'Jai-maca' in the British accent.
And Bonham was only 21 during Moby Dick at the Royal Albert Hall.
Marvel paid 4.9 million to use this song in Thor - Ragnaroc movie.
"He wears the tightest pants ".... now you know how he hits those high notes! 😅
An artist does what he must for his craft 😂😂😂
@@kirstenstewart5758Lol. But we women are not complaining.
