      @USAFO6 That's a great point. It was sort of a rhetorical question though. I think that it's more of an age thing, rather than cultural. Back in the 70s Led Zeppelin music crossed many demographics, much like the music of Michael Jackson did in the 80s & 90s, or Jay-Z of 50 over the past 20 yrs.

      Zep's music was rooted in the blues. Plant is the first to say he, along with Page, both listened to and were influenced by American Blues...Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Skip James, Berry, Elvis, as well as country blues artist Howlin' Wolf, among many more from the 1930-1050s.

    This is the song that got me started on Led Zep. I was 11 years old and in 6th grade in 1980. I had just moved to a new school, and some kids were talking about how Bonzo had just died and Led Zeppelin were breaking up. So I naively asked, “who’s Led Zeppelin?” One of the kids looked at me like I just walked out of a cave riding a dinosaur. He asked me where I was from, and I said “California”, and he said, “what, don’t they listen to music in California?” Anyways, he let me borrow his walkman and his Led Zeppelin IV cassette during recess, and I played the first song, “Black Dog” and my life was never the same after. The impact on me was huge, immediate and long lasting. I instantly became a Led Zeppelin and rock music fan. I bought a record player and started buying other Led Zeppelin records, as well as records from rock groups. Now, 40 years later, Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band!

    Saw Led Zeppelin at the Forum in LA in 1975. During one of their encores (they had 3 that recall) I rushed up to the front of the stage. The next song they played was "Black Dog". During the main chorus of the song, Page would be playing just left of the stage then shuffle all the way to the right as he played the riff. It was surreal, especially since it occurred at the end of a 3 hour performance.

    This is going to be fitting because it fits. When I was 18 years old I was not a rock guy at all. I’d like to couple the rock songs that I heard on the radio but for the most part I was into rap and hip-hop. The year was 1992. Rap and hip-hop were everywhere. I had just gotten my 1980 Trans Am with a Pontiac 400.Tee Tops it was amazing. Freedom and puts in a mix cassette in my new JVC cassette player stereo and the first song is this. We had a sub woofer in the trunk and this song blew me away. No idea who it was but this started my Led Zeppelin and rock journey you’ll notice that every opening song for all of Led Zeppelin albums are just as great as this one. Good times bad times, the immigrant song, whole Lotta love, black dog, the song remains the same, custard pie, in the evening, they’re opening songs no other band has a catalog with opening Songs like Led Zeppelin.

    There is a song on this album “Four Sticks”. It’s called that because Bonzo used four drumsticks. It’s really different, I think you might like it. Also, the second song on the album “Rock and Roll”, was created when Bonzo was working on “Four Sticks, and got frustrated, and went into a Little Richard drum intro. The band as a whole wrote “Rock and Roll” together there in the studio.

    "Black Dog" was the first Zeppelin song I heard, at 14 and had never heard of the band. My friend brought over his little cassette player and said "You have to listen to this." Within 30 seconds that song had grabbed me by the ears and Zeppelin has never let go. "Who ARE these guys?" That was in 1974 and at 62 I've listened to this song (and all of theirs) about a million times and it still gives the same intense driving groove as it did so long ago. Their music has been a central, important part of my life.

    Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, John Bonham on drums, Robert Plant on lead vocals. Just those four. They are legends to rockers. We all know their names, like we know our own. I was a kid when I first heard Black Dog, I was a kid when I first heard most of Zeppelin. Their last album came out when I was 8. The neighborhood I grew up in was full of rockers. So I heard it all. When I was old enough I’d go to shows in the city and buy music in those little record stores that used to be on St.Mark’s place. It was a lot of word of mouth in those days. You had to hang with people who liked the same stuff you liked to be in the know especially when you liked things that weren’t top 40.

Skipping school (very early in my skipping school vocation) and was stoned out of my head (also early in that vocation and I am ever the light-weight). Hanging out at someone's trailer laying on the floor in the center of my first experience with four Bose 501s. I was introduced to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Frank Zappa that day. Life changing.

My brother and I were in Highschool and some friend from my brother gave for some days the Led Zeppelin fourth album and when I heard this song, really in my mind knew that I was going to follow this music and that is true, I went from Hard Rock to Metal, but I am still in Vintage Rock-Hard Rock.

    I used to and still ask that same question. It blows my mind that ANY artist, no matter the genre, can create such amazing sounds. I grew up listening to rock/metal, (ty mother)country, (ty to grandparents) and my own personal tastes, almost everything else I have, a little more recently become fascinated with rap. Not sure why I haven't looked into before, other than ignorance, thinking I wouldn't like it. How they are able to just come up with lyrics off the cuff, It freaks me out, and I love it! Don't be harsh about my being late to that party, I'm an old woman now, better late than never. Thanks for sharing young man.

    Hey, just found your channel and am really enjoying it! You give some really thoughtful, articulate commentary, and that's something I appreciate. Subscribed; can't wait to see more great content.
    The thing about Led Zeppelin is that all four members were prodigiously gifted. Plant with vocals, Jones on keyboard and bass, Page on guitar and Bonham on drums. You want to see something crazy? Look up a live performances of "Moby Dick" from any of their live shows. That was John Bonham's drum solo, while the rest of the guys would go off stage, get some water. Or maybe go across the street to the pub and have a pint, while he round abused his kit (and some bongos. And a gong) for about 10-15 minutes, with frankly alarming energy and sheer power. The guy was a monster! And amazingly skilled.
    Another band to give consideration to is Jethro Tull. About the same era as Zeppelin, also a British band with deep blues roots. The front man doesn't have Plant's range, but he plays a mean flute. Yep. You heard me. Check out "Locomotive Breath" for the whole package, or "Bouree" if you just want to hear Ian Anderson showing off an astounding the flute solo.

  • @jonnylumberjack6223
    @jonnylumberjack6223 4 года назад +5

    Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page on guitar (he kinda set up the band), John Bonham playing the living shit out the drums and the best everyman musician on everything else (bass, keys etc) John Paul Jones. Every one a genius in their own right. First time hearing it? Damn, in a mad house party in the 80s sometime when I was a teen probably, and the vibe was genuinely all about the sex, drugs and rock n roll. Good times, bad times (like the LD song says!)

I still see the world through 18 year old eyes and hardly notice my age until... I move, stand up, etc. and then I'm quickly reminded of the mileage I've got on this body of mine, but it beats the hell out of the alternative, am I right? Keep Smiling Dora and remain Happy and Healthy. Hope our paths cross again soon. Later...

    Very astute of you with the "stop, go, stop go." They were masters of slow/fast, quiet/loud, folk/rock/blues, tension/release. No other group ever did those extremes so well.

  • @timokk3

    You asked so I will answer: I first heard the song in fall of 1971. I attended a Led Zeppelin concert in the Boston Garden in September 1971. Robert Plant announced they were going to play a song from their new album (which had not come out yet). The song was Stairway to Heaven. Needles to say, I went and bought the cassette as soon as Led Zeppelin IV was released. Black Dog was the first track and I fell in love with it immediately. Thank you so much for reviewing the song...more than ever, we Americans need to be united and music is one great way to accomplish that. Rock and Roll and it's predecessor blues are one of the greatest gifts of black Americans to us!

  • @ThatsMrPencilneck2U
    @ThatsMrPencilneck2U 4 года назад

    Led Zeppelin devised their music perfectly for FM radio. It fully engages the brain. Listening to an entire LP is actually exhausting. When the album is done, you're done listening. When you hear a song by itself, it is the most interesting thing there is, and Robert Plant sounds like an old friend. Nothing competes, yet you don't want to listen to them all day.
    That album changes it up. Maybe you should do "The Battle of Evermore." Jimmy Page picked up John Paul Jones' mandolin, and the song just happened.

    I was twenty-one when this -- Led Zeppelin's fourth studio album -- was released in 1971. Almost a perfect album with some of the band's greatest creations including "Stairway to Heaven," "The Battle of Evermore," "Going to California," and "When the Levee Breaks," as well as "Black Dog." I still have the (well played) vinyl album. About as good as rock and roll gets. Oh. . .and really enjoyed your reaction to the album's opening number. 👍

    I first heard it when I was about 6 or 7, I think. A neighbor two houses down was the neighborhood "bad kid" and played this loud enough that we all could hear. Bring so young I was partially scared, partially intrigued, and drawn to it for both of those reasons.
    I would pay serious bucks for a whole record of Zeppelin playing that swampy-style blues on the "Hey Baby, pretty baby..." sections.

    Also check Gary Moore and Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzys fronnt man also from Dublin) the only black irish kid in Dublin Growing up) , he took some shit, but went on to lead such a huge band. Theres a statue of him on Grafton Street....the biggest shopping street in Dublin. Oh yeah the song is called Parisienne Walkways. Its a reworingnof an old Gary Moore song called I still Have the Blues For You. Phil wrote new lyricks and they changed it up a bit, but basically still the same riff. Phils line “I remember Paris in ‘49” ....his dads name was Paris and born in 1949. How cool is that,

    The lead vocal is from the now legendary, Robert Plant. So many of Led Zeppelin songs are epic. The Emigrant Song is another classic LZ song. It was recently featured in
    the Marvel movie Ragnorak. "Kashmir" was an LZ song that came later in there time together along with "Trampled under foot".

    Jimmy is and will be my favorite guitarist ever. He among others from the early days of Rock were pioneers
    The riffs that Jimmy created are and were so distinctive, original, creative and just hook you in, his lead work different for every song just seem to flow and enhance every song
    You have all these speed metal dudes playing and shredding but it gets boring and repetitive ... I believe Satriani said its how he played that inspired him, don't quote me on it Lol. 50 years on theres nothing that made a statement and changed the face of a particular genre like Jimmy & boys did
