So deep in the pocket that you find lint. That's fucking brilliant
Yes you get me!!!! 🙌🙌😂
@@BradAndLex - Seriously - that could be trademarked - it's such a good description. You want a deep pocket - *Home at Last* - Steely Dan... doing the Purdy Shuffle.
@@BradAndLex we all get you Lex!!!!!
Unironically, musicians describe a good groove where the timing is on point and everything is matching up perfectly as being "in the pocket" or "tight".
Bonhams drums were very tight here and the entire groove was most definitely in the pocket, so you're right!
Being able to be that groovy without modern editing and click tracks, just good ol fashioned instruments is difficult to say the least, but it always sounds better when it's more natural.
@@BradAndLex this song is so ground breaking for when it came out. You need to check out some Grateful Dead or some Jerry Garcia Band. Da boys lived to find that cut and find out how deep they could go.
I don't think I ever worried about whether a Zeppelin song was fast or slow or whatever, it just is -- and it IS almost always magnificent
Well said 👏
It's almost as if what is and what should never be.
I vote for always magnificent
Brad is never going to get it.
Without question
If you want faster, “Rock and Roll”, Immigrant Song, Communication Breakdown, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop. There are plenty out there
they dont care.
I'd take any of these over "Achilles Last Stand" for a fast song. I'm not even sure what those people are thinking. Rock and Roll would be my pick then Black Dog.
@Vern Sherris Yea, sucks that it seems almost impossible to find the double cut version of Heartbreaker//Living Loving Maid. They always play them together on the radio here.
@@-Thunder I'm not sure why you wouldn't pick "Achilles Last Stand", although Rock and Roll is another Zeppelin monster of a song and is surely fast. Black Dog I think they've already reacted to.
Hell yes to all of the above. give us our Zeppelin
I can't believe Lex used the phrase "deep in the pocket" without even realizing it's an actual phrase AND she used it correctly. She really has a knack for feeling and understanding music. She gets it!
I know, that was weird. "Deep in the pocket" couldn't be a more accurate description of what's going on with this song, but it doesn't have much to do with finding a crumb in the bottom of your pocket! But that's OK . . .
Brad is complete opposite, he just looks so confused all the time 😂 bless him
Two minutes after the song is over you can still feel Bonham's drums pounding your soul into submission.
His drumming IS the "sound you hear in your head."
Close, you hear Bonzo for the rest of your life and two more minutes after you die.
Average led zeppelin meat rider (me)
@@bonifasiuslaksanamatahari5913 win meddle pfp
"Achilles Last Stand" is one of the fastest, but 'trampled under foot" & "rock and roll" are good heavier fast paced LED ZEPPELIN songs too.
Not really tho. They’re used to Metallica. That’s heavy to them
"The Lemon Song" has some faster sections, too.
Listened to Whole Lotta Love a month ago lol
Trampled under foot is EXCELLENT!!
👍
Absolutely Achilles last stand is one of my favs, ah hell their all great songs lol!
Brad keeps things on an even keel, and Lex is pure, exuberant, profound appreciation. Brad keeps it down to earth, Lex is way up surfing the top of the sound wave.
well said
Well said!
I've seen Brad actually "get" anything he listens to, he seems baffled by almost every song. Lex is very insightful and at the same time lets the music take her wherever she feels.
Lex is deeply spiritually connected to music. I absolutely LOVE watching her absorb that musical vibration, and listening to her translate it into words is AMAZING! Lots of people love music, but few actually feel it in their spirit like Lex does.
Brad pleads: "Give me the faster songs, that's what I want". For regular viewers of Brad & Lex, words we never thought we would hear.
For real. The dude in this vid is an impostor.
was thinking huh too lol
Apparently Brad is not a fan of the blues
Cut back on the PAUSES
Mr. Frown strikes again !
“In the pocket” is a common term used for drummers. Meaning their beat is on point and almost perfect. Bonzo was always in the pocket.
Yea…I wish that were true but when I saw them in Chicago in 78 Bonzo was so drunk he couldn’t have found the pocket if you threw him into it. I can’t tell you what a crushing disappointment that was. I’ve seen more professional acts in local bars. Man for a few minutes we thought Jimmy Page was dead cause he laid flat on the stage for two minutes without doing anything until someone brought out a chair and he was able to sit in the chair.
Imagine getting a chance to see one of the best bands ever and you catch them on their worst night.
It's interesting that you say that because one of the things that I like so much about Bonham is that he doesn't slave to the beat. He keeps it driving but will happily swing some of the taps a little bit late, giving the beat just the barest hint of sludging along (if that makes sense). It makes the songs sound more organic and sultry (if that even makes sense).
Facts. Bonzo has some of the most influential pocket grooves ever recorded, including this one
I'm a lousy drummer. But I've spent my life near really great musicians, and I have never heard that definition--although I accept that all we each have are definitions, not some deep truth. But in my musical life, "In the pocket" has always meant the drum is struck at--and often the other instruments meet at--the very bottom of the waveform of the beat. So you can push a beat, (or get ahead of it), pull the beat, (or lay it back, being slightly behind it), or, it can be deep 'in the pocket.' The latter is great for blues, because all of the instruments meet there for a moment. I'm not saying you're 'wrong,' I'm just adding the definition I've always heard other musicians using. Getting ahead of the beat can be good for Latin music, whereas some blues players prefer a laid back beat that is just a fraction 'late.' They each create a very subtly different effect, even at the same BPM.
Bonzo created the Pocket
One of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. They always are when its based on actual tragedy.
The percussion in this song is what likely makes it my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. When "When the Levee Breaks" was written the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was still fresh in people's memories. The flooding affected 26,000 square miles of the Mississippi Delta - hundreds were killed and hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to evacuate. The event is the subject of several blues songs, the most popular being "Backwater Blues" by Bessie Smith (1927) and "Mississippi Heavy Water Blues" by Barbecue Bob (1928).
Ethel Douglas, Minnie's sister-in-law, recalled that Minnie was living with her family near Walls, Mississippi, when the levee broke in 1927. The song's lyrics recount the personal toll on a man who lost his home and family. Despite the tragedy, biographers also see in it a statement of rebirth.
Sometimes a song is so literal that people think it can't be. Although Zep definitely are great at the double entendre.
Wow... you might be the 4th person I've known to reference Barbecue Bob in my entire life. Me being one...
See also Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" (1974) for a more-recent view.
The drums and harmonica evoke for me a Mississippi paddle steamer thrashing through a storm, with thunder and crashing waves. Steam locomotive sounds and sirens echoing in the background; we are in the middle of an apocalyptic tempest. A lot of the Blues is about just such things, and Zepp do it perfectly. Awesome bass line, btw.
Brad, the original record by Joe and Minnie is much faster, as if trying (but not quite managing) to make light of the disaster. That's a Blues thing, too! ruclips.net/video/W5VmVvsjyKw/видео.html . Minnie was no mean guitarist either.
It also shows how Led Zep could take such a song from the deep south 1927 and transform it to a hard core blues epic. Just amazing. Also this is just one of theres that were written in the same area and circa.
DEFINITELY do "Immigrant Song" if you're looking for more fast pace song..i thought I remember you two already checking it out, but I just searched and it looks like you haven't. List it up!!
woops...i see it up now aha
Trampled under foot
celebration day...fast pace...communication insane pace
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band….
the greatest of all time and it’s not even close. every member is top 5 in their respective roles
and bonzo is #1
Good cover band.
@@jamezrobertz8638Why are you here?
Hey Lex, just a simple uncomplicated comment...as a person who gets movement, dance and quite simply , the grove. You are one of those lucky people who has just GOT IT. So natural..don't ever stop that lovely easy movement within you that just follows and is guided by what you are experiencing...Peace.
I have been watching Brad & Lex for a couple of weeks now. Lex reactions are awesome. As for Brad it wouldn't surprise me if "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" still confused him too this day.
Yup! Dude!
My own thoughts exactly!
harsh...but fair
I have to agree...
Brad is literal Lex is Emotional
An absolute classic. And the most impressive harmonica I've ever heard.
RIGHT! And Ive heard this song a million times, and honestly this is the first time I really noticed the harmonica! Its crazy, thats one thing I love about reaction vids, they actually make you the viewer listen harder and more intensely to the song. Dang, it actually made me think I need to buy a harmonica and try to learn to play
What about 3 minutes in to Nobody's Fault but Mine the harmonica there is so aggressively good
That's Robert Plant playing the harmonica. Crazy good.
The harmonica was recorded with an echo, but the echo was played back first. Jimmy Page is often overlooked as a great producer.
@@low-keyautummn5940 I agree.And there are a few other songs as well. This one is just my favorite for various reasons.
When Lex finds the groove and rides it.... damn beautiful sight. Just imagine hearing this for the first time AGAIN. She gets it!! she felt the music, missed the lyrics and it was about water and a levee... but she didnt listen to words, Brad can obsess on those in this duo. keep it going
This song is particularly famous for the drumming groove. It was made in an english country mansion at the bottom of a wooden stairwell so that that they could get that wonderful, resonant, reverberating beat when John Bonham was drumming. So cool.
“Deep in the pocket” is spot on!
You’ll love “Rock and Roll” and “Black Dog” from the same album. “The Immigrant Song”, “Heartbreaker”, and “Trampled Underfoot” will definitely get your blood pumping.
All great upbeat suggestion .. . "Rock and Roll " came to mind ...
They've tried Black Dog......Brad didn't like it.
@@tundeappiah1410 That's because it's not consistently fast, but in a rather abrupt, unorthodox way, the song starts and stops and starts and stops. Their most consistently fast songs are probably: The Immigrant Song, Rock 'n Roll, and Communication Breakdown. A bit less consistent speed-wise, but equally awesome are, Misty Mountain Hop, and, The Ocean.
Yes BLACK DOG for sure!
@@walfam9846 They already did it, Brad didn't like it. Too disjointed, lots of starts and stops.
You can interpret this any way you want, even after literally having the lyrics in front of you but This song is actually Litteral. It's a remake cover of an old blues song About the great Mississippi Floods in the 1920s that breached the levees.
Some music you don't have to read into that much and Think you are figuring out alternative meanings, some are face value stories.
This one is so literal it even references the Great Migration or Black Migration of the early 20th century. That's what the Chicago references are.
So glad you said remake, instead of cover. Far too many people mistakenly call this a cover. :)
They were enlightened enough to be THINKING metaphorically when they performed it.
@@BensSoZen they who? If you're referring to LZ, uh No!
Plant was curious about Cosmic Energy, he had some insight, and Page was fullon into syncronicity and numerology, universal archetypes, Crowley etc
50 years ago, no one was saying you gotta listen to "When The Levee Breaks" -- no, they were telling you to listen to the whole album.
This was the Led Zep lp for me. First of many.
Achilles Last Stand is another good one from them.
Got that right!
Their best effort, IMO.
So on the right we have Lex, rocking out in time with the music and on the left we have Brad...who I don't think knows what a beat is....
😂
Now, don't be mean.
😳✌🤘🤙👍
As others have mentioned, this song is a cover of a song from 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy about the Mississippi Delta flooding. The flood sent a lot of people North (go to Chicago). Zeppelin always crafted their songs; they were 4 master musicians who had the skill and talent to put a lot of musicianship into what they recorded. It also helped that guitarist Jimmy Page produced all their albums and arranged most of their music, however bassist John Paul Jones came from a similar background and added his skill to the already formidable instrument and recording department. The drums from this song were some of the most often sampled sounds in early hip hop. They recorded the instruments at regular speed then slowed them down in the mix to give it a slow, sludgy, backwater-blues sound. In addition, they added several effects to the vocals and backwards echo to the harmonica. It is a hypnotic, slightly menacing blues jam.
Jimmy Page once said in a duko that John Bonham carried his drum kit into the lobby on this recording to get a certain sound.
This is your greatest LZ analysis. The very best of the genre.
A few fast Zeppelin songs:
- Communication Breakdown
- Heartbreaker/Livin Lovin Maid (personal favorite)
- Trampled Underfoot
- Rock and Roll
- Whole Lotta Love
- Immigrant Song
- How Many More Times
Just to name a few!
How many more times isn’t particularly “fast”. Is replace that with Achilles last stand for this list
@@spencerharvey9361 True, it's more hard than fast. I'll add Nobody's Fault But Mine.
I would add "bring it on home" to that list
Communication Breakdown is punk beta-testing!
The Song Remains the Same is another fast one
I want to see Lex’s face when she hears The Lemon Song.
Who else wants to see that reaction? Give it a thumbs up
Yesssss!! 🤣
One of my top 5.. no. 1 sometimes....
Brad would want to add autotune to it .
Brad may like the bassline, but not the song. Lex will love it, I would love to see her reaction.
Good plan 👍
When the Levee Breaks, original version written and performed by Memphis Mini and Kansas Joe McCoy, released in 1929. The song is based on the great Mississippi flood of 1927. Zeppelin definitely took it to new heights. 🥁 🎸 🎤
Yes, Led Zeppelin was known to borrow a lyric or riff without giving credit where credit was due. Hell, all kinds of modern musicians borrowed from the early blues artists without acknowledging it.
@@kmcc01But that doesn't make it right. Led Zeppelin had a habit of covering songs without acknowledgement or giving credit and were forced to make several out of court settlements decades later. It's fine to be influenced or borrow a riff but not rip off a whole song. Yes they took the songs to new levels but they were also one of the original cultural appropriators.
Brad stares blankly at the lyric video, even when there's no singing. Lex just gets right into the music. :)
Note to Lex: Ditch Brad, and do these reviews on your own.
@@tvo2563 are you trying to be a Yoko ono and break them up 😂
So, so true. He should be out fixing his truck.
@@tvo2563 You don't know what you're talking about. She constantly misses the point of a song by never paying attention to the lyrics.
Every Rapper in the world has Sampled this beat. Just awesome!
By "sampled" do you mean "stolen"? I'm asking for a friend.
Not really a "beat" though.....
Beat. And/or Groove!
Beastie Boys sampled Bonhams opening beats on Rymin and Stealing from Licensed to Ill
@@ronaldmilner8932 You realize they "stole" a majority of their grooves from old blues songs, right?
I swear Lex could describe to a blind man what the color red sounds like.
I took a creative writing course once in college. The first assignment was to write, three pages on the sound of our favorite taste. Everyone failed. (I think that was the point) Lex would have aced it.
This is the greatest rock n’roll song ever written.
The whole entire beat just reminds me of continuous unstoppable rain pouring down interrupted by the odd blue sky moment before the rain starts again. I can picture it in my mind.
This song is actually not a metaphor. It's a cover, lyrically, of an old blues song about the great Mississippi flood that displaced many people and sent a lot of them up north to live and work.
there is my answer. i was going to say it sounds like a blues song sped up!
A metaphor can be emergent past the original intent and is in this case. This has been things I had to study in semiotics, part 17.
👍👍👍👍👍
the worst flood in US history, flooded like 13 States...
@@chrishornbostel9831 *can* is the key term there, though I'm not sure that was the intention of this particular song. However, sure, you can make a metaphor out of any song really.
Brad u want faster? Try the presence album. Nobody’s fault but mine
My fav zep song. Can't play it in the car or ticket🏎️🏎️🏎️
@@davidmeyer687 John lost a drum contest to Karen carpenter 🤣😅😂👍💯
Agreed
@@davidmeyer687 That was John Paul Jones, Bonham had been in the ground a long time by then. It was with Paul Gilbert who was with him. Watched it a bunch of times along with Going to California at the same show.
Yes!
How does one describe the impact and influence Led Zeppelin had on ,now, 2 generations of musicians? Truly original and truly revolutionary, never be another Led Zeppelin
Who doesn't love a well played harmonica? And the phrase "sick beat" was written about this song! The sickest....
Oh Brad I don't think you could comprehend Led Zeppelin's faster songs
I think we all say, "Oh Brad!"...🤣😜 but we love Lex. 👍❤
A song was an old blues song talking about a flood back in the 1920s a wonderful song if you notice the drums they stand out big time I'm glad to see you do more Zeppelin need to do The lemon song I love you guys as a reactions
Tied for second with "No Quarter" of my favorite Zepp songs EVER!
BRAD YOU FOUND THAT BOTTLE AND OUT POPPED LEX . YOU GUYS ARE GREAT TOGETHER.
"Communication Breakdown" is Led Zeppelin's fastest song (from their first album in 1969).
Actually the same BPM as Whole Lotta Love at 178. For Your Life is 184 BPM, Nobody's Fault But Mine is 187and Bonzos Montreux at 185.
I've got a mini disc player which let's you edit songs, so on one of my Zeppelin disc i put the opening guitar riffs of " Nobody's Fault but Mine" and then switch it to " Communication Breakdown"
Proto-punk!
Brad is the analytical fella who is looking for the meaning in the lyrics. Lex feels the rythm and groove.
How's about that drum work by John Bonham? What a great blues shuffle, that ever-so-slightly trails the beat, to add soul to a great blues ballad. As Lex said, it was "deep in the pocket."
Greatest drummer of all time
Brad don't git it, 'cause he is a robot.
did the beasties nab this for 'whatcha want?'
if they didn't sample it, they were trying to emulate it.
one of my favourite, solid beats of all time.
it's almost if he's just bit behind everything like you said,
creating that sick groove.
I love how Brad is always more dialed into the structure and the story and Lex is feeling the sound, classic male and female archetypes. Really enjoying listening to music with y'all. Peace.
THIS IS MY SONG...LOVE YOU GUYS!!
one of the sickest drummers/drum beat ever...
John Bonham was the greatest rock drummer of all time
This song features an absolutely legendary drum sound from a production standpoint. I mean listen to that thump! They actually put the drums of the bottom of a stairwell and miked it from much higher and then just crushed those microphones with compression and added a bit of primitive delay. Got to remember this is a zillion years ago in terms of record engineering technology and it still sounds amazing
Love these details
@@lukefender94 there are just so many fun stories in the history of rock and roll especially when it comes to how they were still learning the ways to go about recording it very experimental stuff
Of mention, the drums at the bottom of the staircase in what was once Alistair Crowleys house that Jimi bought. They recorded a lot in that place!
@@michaellambert5223 really not quite accurate, but I understand the misconception. Paige did purchase Crowley's former home, Boleskine House but that is not the place where they recorded When the Levee Breaks. Or their other albums either.. that area that place was called Headley Grange and it was a converted workhouse in Hampshire England.
That drum track is one of the most heavily sampled tracks ever.
Being "in the pocket" is a musicians term for being heavy in the groove and all together.
Led Zep has a groove about them so much and I believe that's why Lex likes the Zep so much.
love this song so much. would you please react to The Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin?
The greatest song in history by the best band in history... ever... no question.
My ears have beeeen blessed since i was 2 or 3 maybe 4 yrs old when i heard this song let alone Led Zeppelin!!
Love when you guys react to Led Zeppelin. This is such a great song!
Lex fun as always, Brad looks like he's reading a flat pack furniture assembly manual. Brad try Led Zeppelin Rock and Roll, that may get your toes tapping. Love the channel and do enjoy the contrast though, like I said Brad, Rock and roll dude. Regards from across the pond.
I've never heard "When the Levee Breaks" called a slow Led Zeppelin song before.
Well compared to the metal songs they have been listening to lately this song does appear slow or at least the intro does
it is slow tbf. its just heavy cause of the groove
It's always fun to see people hear this for the first time. Those drums and harmonica kick you in the gut and then the groive hits you and you bob your head. We all do it!
Totally feel you Lex, this song is such a good groove. You can slow bang, fast bang, just shake your head, it all works.
When Brad says he wants the "faster" Led Zeppelin, I can only think The Song Remains The Same is what he's looking for.
Best song in the history of rock and roll. Possibly the greatest song written and performed. How could anyone want more. The personification of badass.
Preach, Girl! ✌
I know it's not rational or healthy but his indifferent and dismissive $h!tty attitude sends me in a rage!
How can he not, at the very least feel the thunderous bass drum?
Also, I don't know why they can't check the songs facts AFTER they give their thoughts.
They have this uncanny ability to think straight forward lyrics are metaphors and take metaphors literally.
@@jennhurl yeah that hit me hard
@@rsw1227 I'm 59 and I don't give one fuck about lyrics. Until AFTER I'm loving the music.
It's fun to imagine every Led Zeppelin musician playing this song in the studio.
It must've been an incredible time!!
Brad looking like he's waiting for his microwave popcorn to finish up. This is the best drum beat in rock history and he doesn't even flinch.
I hate to be negative, but god is it ever frustrating. Appreciate the honesty, but damn.
It should just be the Lex channel
He looks like he's bored of this job...I just watched the Mr Crowley intro, amongst the most unique and memorable intro's you'll hear and at the first stop he shrugs his shoulders and says 'I don't know I was listening to the lyrics'. They put out a tonne of videos, maybe they need a little break from the screen time.
The honesty is refreshing. Not everyone is going to like your favourite songs or my favourite songs. I kind of hate myself for watching reaction videos because there are NEVER negative reactions. I was relieved to see his reaction to this song and makes me want to stick with the channel. If they ever do "Rock And Roll" I am curious if that fast Zep song will resonate with him or not.
Hell yeah, deep in the pocket; and for me meaning in that iconic bonzo drum groove that's been sampled a kagillion times. My favorite LZ track and a top five tune of all time IMO. A cover of Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929 about Mississippi Delta Flooding. Gotta pack up and get a factory job in the industrial north. Such an amazing deep Blues vibe! Just loved this reaction. Cheers!
Les was rockin' out - she got the soul in this ballad song of a real life flood history.
"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
“Rock and Roll” is a good fast Zeppelin song. I think Brad will love the drums in this one.
I'd love to see "Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid" by Led Zeppelin; it's a fast one and two songs that are always played together, Heartbreaker first, then Living Loving Maid immediately after.
Yeah, or Good Times Bad Times
Robert Plants harp is awesome! I've been playing Blues harp for over 35 yrs now and just love Robert Plants style and tone. Awesome! One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes.
Going to California is another great Led Zeppelin song. So many great songs it’s hard to choose one favorite lol
This is my all time favorite Led Zep tune. The harmonica at the front is awesome , getting a little feeback too, then Plants vocals are chilling. Thanks y'all as well as my Rock brothers and sisters , KEEP ROCKING.
Brother Gary
Lexie - you go girl! I like your reactions. You get the music, if not the meaning,, on this one. Rock on girl!
Finally, my favorite Led Zep song! Yaaaayeeeeee!
Lex’s reaction while this song is playing is absolutely priceless!!!!
Achilles Last Stand... the most kickass song you'll ever hear.
One of the most classic songs evah!, and Brad appears to be reading the side-effects of a Humira Pen. Lex for the save!
Ha! That's perfect! He looks like he's trying to do long division in his head.
And I thought he almost smiled. His loss?
Great Comment, ax man
Thank you guys.and I'm posting this comment before the reaction. Luv you guys.
Brqd,Brad, have to remember Led Zeppelin did this stuff during the peace and love rock and roll and getting high and chilling times.
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs!
Lex got the feel for this song. Shes diggin it!
Lexie gets into the groove right away and just enjoys the mood. Brad doesn't react at, just sits there like a robot.
like he smoked too much damn weed before recording the reaction video...
You should try "Trampled Under Foot", it's heavy, but with a funk rhythm. Also, as many have said, "Achilles Last Stand" is epic, and has influenced a lot of heavy metal.
Only someone who doesn't remotely get music would think this powerful song is "chill" and want it to be faster. Brad never disappoints in this regard...
It's supposed to be a reaction channel but his reaction is always the same - Meh.
@@larky368 it gets tiresome very quickly. That’s why I’m not a sub. I check in when they do a song I want to hear…. They should just make thisThe Lex show.
@@larky368 He's not very animated but he usually gives credit where it's due...but I think this one flew over his head
I don't think it's chill .. I think it's powerful. But I can definitely vibe to it
@Squant chill is relaxed and easy going. It's good and it's groovin, but this is not chill.
Lex's facial reaction is like a dirty scrunched up face for this dirty song, I love it, totally feeling the music.
This song reminds me of the nursery rhyme about "Billy Goat Gruff." When I listen to it, I imagine a lot of Billy Goat Gruffs dancing around in a meadow. Sometimes I imagine my kitty cat dancing around to the music, and she becomes Kitty Cat Gruff.
Led Zeppelin is just straight up killer! play it all!
With "Kashmir," one of Led Zeppelin's two finest recordings. It's a cover, of course, but their arrangement is entirely theirs.
I've just watched about 20 of your videos in two days, and Lex you are one hell of a good judge about music. Brad, stop trying to analyse everything and just let it flow over you.
By the way, this is one of the greatest tracks ever recorded. It's a modern take on an old 1920's blues song.
Enjoy your journey into checking out music's back catalogue.
Brad has been on this journey foe 2 years I don't think he'll ever get it
I like Brad right where he is. Every Yin needs a Yang.
@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches Yep, I just love all this "modern" music. Apologies, I forgot to mention I'm nearly a pensioner 🤣
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 Hell yeah, if everyone was the same how boring would that be. This channel is great not just for Brad's reactions to the music but for his reactions to Lex's reactions, if you get what I mean.
Lex is a pure diamond, don't ever stop keepin' on.
Love this song. Would love to hear more about the history of this song.
Honestly, what y'all do for me, just by being relatable conesiours of music and fellow human beings, is deep. God bless.
"When The Levee Breaks" is like pocket lint. That's what I love about you guys. I learn something every day.
Brad, I think that you would like "out on the tiles" from them. It rocks.
This song is my favorite but this is a group where all their songs are great Love Led Zeppelin
If I went back to the 60s/70's a Led Zep concert would be top of my list.
Rock n Roll, Black Dog, Communication Breakdown, Bring It On Home, Immigrant Song and Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid spring to mind if you're looking for faster songs.
You should listen to "In My Time of Dying." Yes, it's 11 minutes, but don't let that scare ya. It's my favorite Led Zeppelin song by far. It takes a bit to get going, but once it does it's worth the wait. The song gets overlooked a lot. You will love the guitar on this song.
Agree 100% , very underrated song.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
"In My Time of Dying"
I’m with you on this
@@onemanarmy6073 agree with you too 😎✌
Just recommended this one in another comment. Bonham plays as much with the lead as he does rhythm.
Bonham in beast mode?
No…he activates Godmode in that song!
Thanks for the awesome Led Zep reaction. 🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥
Led Zep became legendary for having one of the widest array of different sounding rock / rock blues songs and for their unique expertise per each of its four members. They started young and played hard schedules to get where they were. So many years later in rock, the members still rank high individually as;
Jimmy Page ranking in the top 5 lead guitarists. He formed the band, searching only for the very best.
Robert Plant within the top 3-7 as best rock vocalist of all time.
John Bonham ‘The Beast’ 🤛 HANDS DOWN and continually voted as being in the top 1 - 3 best rock drummers of all time.
John Paul Jones - a quiet musical genius that played multiple instruments to precision.
They were wild. Before Led Zep formed, all four played heavily in jazz or blues clubs, then rock. Is why John Bonham was the first rock drummer to play four beats within the average time frame of other drummers back then hitting just one beat. He and Robert played in a lot of black jazz and blues clubs and sometimes back then, they were only allowed to enter and exit thru the back door.
