    Video info: Jimmy Page was the one who wrote lyrics for the entire first Led Zeppelin album. And it wasn’t until the second album that he managed to convince Plant to join in. Plant soon developed a clear set of directions in his lyrics. Sexuality on one hand and storytelling on the other. Specifically nordic and whelsh mythology caught his interest. In this video we’ll talk about Led Zeppelin’s musicianship and Robert Plant’s fascination with northern mythology.

    Would you ever talk about a bass line in a song? For instance Ramble on has one of my favorite bass lines ever, it carries the song more than the guitar I think almost as if Page and Jones switched roles for this song.

      Another superb JPJ bass moment: the tone and playing on Heartbreaker.
      When you hear just Plant and the bass in the verse, that thick tone carries the movement in such a way that sticks out to me, and nicely juxtaposes Pages guitar that comes in at the end of every other bar.

    I studied Mythology in college and the Norse Mythology has a unique and valuable perspective on Life and Death, obviously influenced by the cold, harsh habitat. I also recognized and appreciated Led Zeppelin's Norse mythology references in No Quarter and Immigrant Song. As for Ramble On, however, references to Tolkien characters are not really "Nordic Mythology".

  • @theundercoverscene7247

    The main guitar riff in No Quarter is one of the most orgasmic things ever in music. Actually not just the guitar but also the keys, bass and drums all together... It's transcending, no other way to put it. That song and Ramble On, both perfect in my book. Of course LZ has lot of perfect tunes.
    One of my "definitive" rock bands for sure, and the list would go from era to the next: (punk and metal not included)
    The Doors
    Led Zeppelin
    Pink Floyd
    Van Halen
    The Cure
    Jane's Addiction
    Soundgarden
    Incubus
    Queens of the Stone Age

    Cool vid, though I do have one complaint. Valhalla is not the norse version of christianity's heaven. The two religions developed very far from each other, so the only influence was when the stories were actually written down on paper, as the norse preferred an oral tradition.

    You can link the world of LOTR with Norse mythology. Tolkien was inspired by Norse mythology. Dwarves and Elves are in both Norse sagas and his books. Naming swords and axes were a viking thing like in LOTR. Gandalf was inspired by Odin and the word Gandalf is norse for Wand Elf.

    I think the lyrics of No Quarter were written after the music, so the music wasn't crafted to follow the lyrics. The reason I think that is that there are earlier versions of No Quarter to be found on You Tube with no lyrics. In fact in one of them Plant sings along without lyrics, he's just singing la la la sounds.
