  • @MrDiddyDee
    @MrDiddyDee 2 года назад +729

    They were steeped in The Blues, it was their foundation, but then they pushed the music into a whole other stratosphere. Mixing Blues, Rock, Funk, Folk and progressing with every album, you need to experience a bunch of tracks to get any perspective on their range. Each member of the band was so talented and worked together like a machine, which is clearer when you see live footage. They would extend album tracks into long improvised jams, with vocals and lead guitar trading riffs, the drums and bass a total powerhouse. Best to start with tracks from their debut album and work through songs chronologically, check out 'Dazed and confused' next for a slower swampy track. A lot of their stuff has been sampled and often imitated, but no one has come close to matching these guys.

I've heard stories though of Jimmy being drunk at concerts, or stoned, whatever the case may be, but I'd pay just about anything to hear it as sloppy as they could get, I'd still enjoy every minute of it, unless one of them barfed, then again that might be great too lol

    Younger folks today go back and want to reclassify the classic hard rock groups as metal. So yeah….younger people will say that Zeppelin was like the first heavy metal band. But they were not. They were a group that was based first and foremost in American Delta and Chicago blues and rockabilly. All the British rock bands of the 60’s and 70’s (except the progressive rock genre) were steeped in blues. Zeppelins first two albums leaned heavily on blues…and then they brought in folk, funk, psychedelia, even reggae and Middle Eastern sounds. To those who really know their catalogue, they are revered for their diversity of genres, for their immense improvisational skills onstage, their great use of dynamics in their music. Add all that to their talent and skills…each one a master….and their incredible stage presence…..and you have the top hard rock band of the 70’s………who also did beautiful acoustic ballads. 😁

    • @dbdeg88
      @dbdeg88 Год назад +3

      The thing about Led Zeppelin is that they don't fit so neatly into any one genre. The closest summations I can think of would maybe be "blues rock" or "hard rock", the latter of which is general enough to describe at least half of their output, but ignores the many acoustic songs that, in my opinion, are some of the best stuff they did. I'm a sucker for "That's the Way" and "The Rain Song" in particular. As for "blues rock", that's what they started out as and describes most of the stuff on their first album or two and is something they never really gave up completely throughout their time as a band, but as time went on they put out more and more stuff that went completely outside that box. They did quite a bit of folk inspired stuff and even dabbled in funk and reggae.
      They also predate the genre of heavy metal, although were one of its most major influences. They're "proto-metal", as I like to put it. They laid a good deal of the foundation without ever really fitting neatly into that mold themselves. The fact that they have a literal heavy metal in their name probably doesn't help with that confusion.

    A little history lesson. Back in the 60s, there was a band called The Yardbirds, featuring guitarists Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. When Clapton left, Beck recruited studio musician Jimmy Page. In time, the band broke up, but they still had contractual obligations, so Page called in another studio musician by the name of John Paul Jones to play bass. They rounded out the band with Band of Joy singer Robert Plant, and his drummer, John Bonham, and they went under the name the New Yardbirds. Sometime around 1968, The Who drummer, Keith Moon, made a remark that any band formed by Jimmy Page would go over like a lead balloon, thus the band Led Zeppelin was born.
    Sadly, in 1980, John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin came to an end. But with it came a new sense of respect for the band, when Robert Plant said that if the remaining members were to continue to tour and record together, they would never do so under the name Led Zeppelin ever again (except special occasions such as Live Aid), because without any member of the original band, it was no longer the same band.

      "like a lead balloon" is an old saying to mean something that's sure to fail, so a lead zeppelin (dirigible) would be an even bigger failure. They varied the spelling to be sure people would pronounce it like lead, the heavy metal, not like "leed" meaning "in front".

    Led Zeppelin got their name from a humorous conversation among several musicians about their chances of going down like a lead balloon. According to Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, the drummer of The Who, suggested the name “Led Zeppelin” as a joke. Page liked the idea and asked Moon if they could use the name for their new band. The name was inspired by the Zeppelin airships of the early 20th century, which were used for passenger transport and military purposes during World War I.

    It took a UK band to reinterpret Delta blues into Rock N Roll. Led Zeppelin name came from a quote of another rocker saying the band would essentially flop like a lead balloon ie a Zeppelin. The LED was from their legendary manager Peter Grant who suggested dropping the A in Lead. Peter also led the way for bands to get 90% of the concert instead of 50%. He also got them more record label rights and was an ex-wrestler around 6'9" of don't F with! My favorite song is their cover of the true story 1927 Mississippi flood song called "When the Levee Breaks".

    Ah, Led Zeppelin. Four very gifted musicians coming together like a cosmic event to give us music that is still being listened to every day 54 years later by millions of people around the world. They also sill have, 40+ years after disbanding, the second highest number of rock album sales, second only to The Beatles. There are/were a lot of great rock bands but imo, Led Zeppelin was the best of them.
    Band members were:
    Jimmy Page - guitarist, band founder, genius producer
    John Paul Jones - bass, keys, multi-instrumentalist
    Robert Plant - vocalist, lyricist
    John Bonham - monster of a drummer
    This song is the first track on their 2nd album and was recorded and dropped in 1969. If you like blues, you'd likely appreciate a number of their songs, including the following, but they were a very diverse band so blues is just a part of their entire catalog.
    You Shook Me
    Dazed and Confused
    I Can't Quit You Baby
    How Many More Times
    The Lemon Song
    Bring It On Home
    Since I've Been Loving You
    When the Levee Breaks
    How they got their name is a bit of a funny story. Page was talking with another musician about wanting to form a "supergroup" and the guy said his ideas would go over like a "lead balloon". Little did he know. lol After forming the group, Page landed on the name Led Zeppelin. Led instead of lead so the meaning wouldn't be misconstrued, and zeppelin (an airship), the most famous being the Hindenburg, which crashed in 1937. Page's wit at work.
    Yeah, lots of people have both sampled and covered Led Zeppelin. If you get familiar with their music, you'll also recognize it being used in movies. I highly recommend a deep dive starting with their 1st album. Doubt that you would regret it.
    Excuse my long comment. lol This was a very nice reaction. I enjoyed it.
    Edit: This version edited out about 45 seconds from the original studio version. Should give that a listen if you want to hear the entire song.

    It is so beautiful how music breaks down barriers and reminds us that we can all enjoy something that unites us. I started loving music as a pure rocker (Led Zep, AC/DC, Van Halen, Scorpions, Rush, etc.) but later also fell in love with Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre, Ice-T, Tupac, Biggie, etc. Our common love of music will save us all.

    It’s so hard to believe that you guys have never heard this song. We wore this song out back in 1970, and especially their first album.

      We were born in the late 70s so it was ahead of our time!

    Unarguably one of the best music groups of any genre in history. With a crazy long catalog. They never missed really… legends
