John Bonham really went to another level of drumming on this song.
It is insane
The top level
tragic man
Its an absolute HIT workout playing that
@@Zeebo1uk goodtimes badtimesc
The joy on Lex's face is how I feel every time I hear this song. Great choice.
Brad actually had a smile going on there.
Even though it's Led Zep, I'm still surprised at how well liked they are by the younger/much younger generation. I mean, Lex can't be more than 25, can she, which means Zeppelin were broken up (about) a decade and a half before Lexx was born.
@@6ffrey958 ya, he doesn't seem to like anything so I don't watch them anymore. She's a sweetie and I have no idea what she's doing with him.
@@jaynethomas7380I have to say I agree with you, seems like two totally different personalities, that will eventually clash. She’s so cute & joyful, & he will end up bringing her down. I don’t like being negative, but I’m saying what I see.
This track, for all it's brilliance and virtuosity simply wouldn't work without John Bonham's drumming. IMHO this is the single best piece of drumming ever recorded.
That gallop ✨💥✨
One of John's epic experiences.
@@jmag579 and the fills like the one at 9:52
His choice is quite savage when he needed to get back into that main groove one last time.
Watching him play this live is from Knebworth is 🔥
This song was recorded after Robert Plant and his wife were nearly killed in a car accident in August 1975 while vacationing in the Greek island of Rhodes. It tells the story of "sandy lands on holiday", and also about their trip beforehand to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Plant sustained a shattered ankle and damaged Achilles tendon in the wreck, and had to record this song and album in a wheelchair after he tripped over some cables in the studio while on crutches. In their last two tours, he barely moved onstage from these injuries. The song takes its title from all that drama.
It was so damn good! 64 yo guy here and after hearing their 1st Album I was hooked line and sinker. I have all of their Albums to this day.
Nice lesson nice story.
Thankyou for sharing
Those drums sound and feel like ABS countering brakes l9ckong and causing a skid.
Ironically, the name "Achilles" is not mentioned at all in the song. "Atlas" is, but not "Achilles".
When my son was learning to play guitar, he printed out the guitar tabs. He said there were 28 distinctly different riffs in this one. Page is an absolute genius. And Bonzo’s drums…Epic
Maybe 7.
One of the reasons people love Led Zeppelin so much is because of a reason not a lot of people talk about. It's because of Jimmy Page's (the guitarist) incredible ability to orchestrate properly. That means that when Page composes a song, he makes sure the notes are not in the way of other notes so that every note can be clearly heard. Then, Page's 2nd producing talent is in panning the instruments so incredibly well so that the three instruments sound like a massively loud strong orchestra even though it's only three guys playing instruments and one guy singing. Then, Page would layer chorus and harmony guitar parts over his main guitar notes to produce the incredible Led Zeppelin sound.
Led zeppelin never recorded a bad song! Hammer of the Gods!! great reaction ❤️.
Can you imagine all the stuff Page has locked up...?
Hats off to Roy Harper or hotdog.? I'd rather hear natural science or the necromancer.
@@gorfpatrol5482 The Crunge..
The 'Immigrant Song' is one of Zeppelin's best, D ....
Hot dog is a rough one
I feel like a light bulb went off in Brad's head on this one. His expression really made this reaction. Same way I felt when LZ, or instrumental genius in general really clicked for me.
"Presence" is such a unique Zep album. I thought they were more progressive on this one. Outstanding tracks like 'Nobody's fault...,' 'Tea for one,' 'Hots on for nowhere,' 'For your life,' and of course ''Royal Orleans,' brought them to a whole different level.
Different sound and not overplayed. Pretty much the only one I still rock.
It was one of the last Zep albums that I had gotten. I agree with you @bellodrade!!!
I completely agree with your comment. It still has the Zeppelin essence but, a more progressive approach. It's honestly my favorite release from their library.
@@auralfixxation6702 I was a huge prog rock guy+!! But I was a Rush head. Then....I heard the Genesis only about 10 years ago with Peter Gabriel !!!!! I felt like an idiot passing over the Foxtrot and Selling England By The Pound, and sinfully The Lamb like an idiot!!!
Bloody fantastic album. Tea for one is in my top 10 zeppelin songs of all time.
Led Zeppelin became the GOATs because of their diversity as far as musical genres...they can rock as good and better than anybody, you haven't really heard their complete catalog but you will eventually listen to songs like The Song Remains the Same, Communication Breakdown etc etc you will see that they play every style....nice reaction!
Fingers are a drummers biggest resource, you don't just use your arms, it's all in fingers and wrists
@@timbrown2637 okay but why are you bringing this up? Lol
@@frightenedsoul Did you watch the video? He said he did not recognize the band because most of the songs he's heard are not rockers..thats why
@@bobbyn.9773 i was talking to the other person. I even tagged them.
@@frightenedsoul oops sorry bro...I just read that one🤔🤣
Bonham’s drumming in this song is outrageous
I think this was one of Brad’s most spot on reactions. Glad he’s finally getting into the music more and more.
Just what I thought too...right?
Achilles Last Stand is very complex on every level - arrangement, layers, lyrics . It took me a long time to get used the cord progression. Brad really got it.
Brads a stick in the mudd
One of the best reactions from this channel, IMO!! Great to see Brad comprehending what they boys were trying to do on this track and noticing the clarity of the each part as it intertwines with the others. Organized chaos is such a great way to describe it. Jimmy Page put down no less than 6 guitar tracks layered on top of each other, while Bonzo just going ham. They took more influence from the East, on this one, as they had travelled to Morocco some months before recording this. Amazing track and reaction, guys. Cheers!
This really shows why Zepp is my favorite band of all time. They had so many unique songs, you never get tired of listening to their catalog due to that diversity.
Unlike almost every other band, they don't have a "typical" or "goto" sound. Every song is different which is pretty incredible when you really think about how many songs they have. Absolutely the best.
The song I'd really love to see you react to from this Led Zeppelin album is "Nobody's Fault but Mine." Serious hard rocker with a killer harmonica solo. I guarantee Lex will like it.
Lex is amazing. She's very open minded.
Brad I'm diggin' your growing appreciation for Zeppelin. I remember putting this on the turntable as a teenager and the excitement I felt hearing another side to Zeppelin. I listened to this a lot! And so did the neighbours ✌️
Maybe the best drumming ever on a rock and roll song
Bonham was a beast
This song is hard to beat. Their library has a lot of high energy tunes, keep listening.
Gotta love John Paul Jones' baseline in this song.
IMO, JPJ is the true talent in this band. Bass, keyboards, mandolin & the high background vocals that most believe were Plant.
Agreed. All were great talents but JPJ is the unsung hero of the band.
And Bonzo’s drumming was immense too.
@@bobkaiser8782 most definitely, the man was the multi-instrumentalist of the group. 🤘
“ BASSLINE!”
"Letting go is a huge part of listening to music". Once again, Lex displays her fine intellect.
WOW, LEX IS REALLY DOLLED UP TODAY!
But she's always really pretty, even without make-up and fancy clothes!
And Brad is the main-cat, as always, cool, calm and collected. The best reaction duo on the Tubes. The best I tells ya. The Best!
I hope Brad understands that Lex is a goddess.
Brad is no slouch.
@@victorvisser403 You're right, Brad is a beautiful man. But I am straight as an arrow, so I don't comment on other men's attractiveness very often. Sometimes, but not very often, lol.
A mini Cleopatra with the lashes.
@@jamessweet5341 I just hope Hollywood never finds her. She's too good for Hollywood. But she has the looks for it for sure. Of course Brad is already Hollywood, the emotionless, no nonsense son of Spock and Lt. Uhura, lol!
Johnny Ramone had said he got the idea for his downstroke picking style from Page’s Communication Breakdown. Iron Maiden based their sound, lyrical style, and galloping baselines on Achilles Last Stand. If there’s testament to Zeppelin’s genius, it’s their creative versatility which inadvertently created entire sub genres for other bands to run off on.
What zo said
it's cool to see you start recognizing the complexity of the music, you'll soon realize LZ can tell a story with just the instruments. Music is so much more than just lyrics.
This was the most I've ever seen Brad get into a classic rock tune. This is Led Zeppelin's best song, in my opinion. When I was watching this live last night, it felt like I was tripping out on this song, even though I've heard it a thousand times.
Can't believe nobody suggested the live version of this 🤘🏼😓
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand (Live Knebworth 1979) !
The thing I like about this track is that it sounds like it was recorded in a rehearsal studio at an ear splitting volume. It's really raw and unprocessed this is why British rock rules.
One of their last really important songs . A great acheivement . No band since has even tried to come up with anything like it .
100% correct !!!
What about hot dog on their next album
@@gorfpatrol5482 haha ..I know right ..
@@DC-ih8bv the OUT DOOR album was okay , but just not as focused as their early ones .
Love Bonham's little explosions he throws in randomly :)
"Song Remains the Same" is another fast song you'll probably like.
They should watch the concert? Song Remains the Same.
@@Maiko100876 Yeah the live version is superior.
Jimmy’s tone is 😳🔥
"It was organized chaos". Wow...totally perfect way of putting it! Yes, Jimmy Page's guitar parts and his lead were darkly beautiful and passionate. But, John Bonham's drums...OMG. What a TRUCK that guy was!
Great reaction guys. Glad Brad enjoyed this one. And how lex explains her thoughts lol very psychedelic
So from what I've read so far, this song isn't really about Achilles, the mythological character, but it's about Robert Plant himself. They saw the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and then Robert had a bad car accident and suffered a broken ankle in Greece. Recuperating in Malibu California Robert and Jimmy Page wrote the song with Robert worried that he wouldn't walk right again.
It is partially about that but also partially about taxes. (No joke). Robert said when he wrote "it was an April morning when they told us we should go, as I turned to you you smiled, how could we say no?" It was about when their management said if they wanted to avoid the hefty British taxes (close to 50% at that time in their bracket) they needed to establish residence overseas in Europe and maintain residency there forbade certain amount of time. So.. go buy a mansion in Germany or something, and then keep way more of your money. How could they say no?
It was actually a very common thing for wealthier Brits to do.
Achilles wasn't mythical. He was a fictional character in The Iliad.
@@williamjordan5554 What of course its mythology , YOU DONT GET HOMOSAPIENS THAT ARE HALF GOD !!!!!
Love it when younger people are open to a different genre of music. She is so expressive and feels every note. Cool to watch them both hear songs for the 1st time. Gotta love Zep!
See, this IS Led Zeppelin, you just havent listened to enough of them yet. They do EVERYTHING.
I've been listening to this band daily since 1971 I am so pleased that you dig this. This is the finest Rock Band Earth has produced to date. Enjoy. ❤
This masterpiece came from another universe.
Two things, first Brad was actually smiling during the guitar solo and it was a wonderful thing and second if you are interested in instrumentals a real good starting point is Santana "Soul Sacrifice" Live @ Woodstock
Long version!
@@FloridaRocks always.
@@timferderer4979 there is only one version...what they played. Then there is that criminal video that was chopped to sh*t and should be banned.
@@randallfender96 LOL. Truth.
1 of my favorite and underrated song by Led Zeppelin
Great comments and reactions
Thanks Guys...
Keep Rocking 🤟🤟
Brad, listening to you summarize your reaction to this song is just spot on! I felt the same way hearing for the first time back when the album was released in 1975, at the age of 15. It's almost too much to comprehend. Lex, the "finger stuff" was pretty funny but, you nailed it with your comment about imagining each finger having its' own voice. Brilliant! I think you may be a budding hippy!
We are the same age, I did exactly the same thing - listening to this song takes me back to the good old 70's. This was the best decade for music. I can't believe our parents thought our music was crazy. We were like - whatever! We were too stoned to care : )
Brad has finally gotten his Zep decoder ring. Congratulations!!!
Brad nailed it when talking about getting accustomed to hearing new music. First time I heard Radiohead I just did not get it. The more I listened the more I got it and then I loved them. Your ear has to be trained when listening to something you have never heard before.
This is definitely one of my favorites by Led Zeppelin. The drums are amazing. I actually really like the album PRESENCE of which this song is from but, it wasn't a fan favorite from what I've heard.
I heard this song once at a grocery store near closing, coming from the deli counter back room. I just stood there and listened until it ended. This song is so mesmerizing and epic. Try Tea for One for a deep cut, or Ten Years Gone for a classic
my top three zeppelin songs.
Fool In The Rain is another must.
Tea for One is ridiculously good. Perfect w headphones...
based and delipilled
You have to see them do this live at Knebworth 1979! Fantastic!
Bonham is killing it on that performance.
One of Bonham's (many) masterpieces.
Zeppelin had so many incredible songs, and this being one of their best. Believe it or not, they played this song live.
Hit the nail on the head! I've been proud to see Brad's journey and his progress as a listener :) You two are WONDERFUL!
This song is my absolute favorite Zep song....🤘🏼🤘🏼
Bonzo slappin the calf skins
One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes!
It's a very Progressive Rock Led Zeppelin.
Ten Years Gone, In My Time Of Dying, The Ocean, Four Sticks, Bring It On Home, Fool In The Rain all good Zeppelin songs
I love Brad's progression in music..... As for Led Zeppelin's musical style? They did everything. One of the most talented bands ever.
I enjoyed your reaction! You guys are fun to see. This is just such a great song.
One of Zeps last albums.
One of the toughest songs to drum to start to finish endurance wise.
Real shame Bonzo died so young, all the guy were in their prime.
The entire Presence record was recorded and mixed in 15 days. Jimmy did all of the guitar overdubs for the whole record in one 24 hour marathon session.
This one, The Song Remains The Same and No Quarter are my favorite Led Zep tunes..
Ok, big Zeppelin track I just had to see this reaction for. So happy to see Brad understand Led Zeppelin a little more now. Led Zeppelin really is the cream of the crop. They can convert anyone to almost any genre they involved themselves in.
Hearing Brad say he may be ready for instrumentals was great. May I recommend hearing Orion and Call of Ktulu from Metallica and Planet Caravan from Black Sabbath. You guys are awesome! 🤘🏼
“what in the Led Zeppelin world are we listening to”, classic statement 😎😎
Listening to Led Zeppelin is like opening up a box of candy.
Led Zeppelin was the only band of my youth that made me anticipate every new album and every new song! No bad Zeppelin...Only different Zeppelin.
one of my favorite zeppelin songs❤️
Love you two and your journey. Lex the retro hippie garb looks awesome!
And the Led Zeppelin journey continues!!✌️
I remember when this album was released. This was my favorite song. The description that it is like two songs playing at the same time is perfect. Thanks for keeping Led Zeppelin fresh for me.
Damn...John Bonham beat the crap outta the drums on this one! Please do "In my time of Dying" or "Moby Dick" to see why John Bonham is one of the greatest drummers ever!
The driving tempo of this song was a rare thing in the day and inspired some others, notably Heart with "Barracuda".
That was great, "What in the Led Zeppelin world was that?" Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Brad makes his biggest breakthrough yet. LISTENING TO and FEELING the music, not reading lyrics...love it, grats ❤😁 yall may be ready now for more of the complexities of OPETH
Zeppelin and Queen are the two greatest rock bands of all time and they both lost legend’s early. RIP John Bonham and Freddie Mercury 😢
I swear...watch The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song live 1973 at MSG!! Amazing...especially Jimmy's guitar work!!
probably my favorite Zeppelin song. I always hate hearing it end. It just has such a journey and drive that takes you along you dont want the ride to end.
John Bonham is an absolute beast on this song.
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's. I just saw a Zeppelin tribute band, "Get the Led out".....great tribute band. You need to check out the following songs: "Dazed and Confused " , "Kashmir" and for Lexi, the "Lemon Song". If you want a great drum solo from Bonzo check out "Moby Dick"....great reaction. I love seeing a younger generation enjoying the music that I grew up on!
For some fun covers, listen to Dread Zeppelin! I've seen pics of both Page & Plant wearing their T! Just fun - warning tho - some of the video/ audio quality varies! Lol
I had tickets to see them live for the In Through the Out Door tour!!!! Would had seen them in MSG!!!! Sad that Bonzo died thevway he did
Soooo fun to watch these videos! Been lovin this music for 40 years and to see people react to this incredible music for the first time is too cool!!
Okay watching you two looking like you really are digging this song, has plastered a smile across my face and is taking me back to the first time I heard this and was just zoned out and mesmerized by what I was hearing for the very first time.
Check out Nobody’s Fault but Mine from this album, it’s incredible!👍🔥🤘🏻🎧
My fav Zep song. Its just a massive journey of a song. Id say like most other Zep songs this one is also heavily influenced by Norse / Viking history as well as some JRR Tolkien. Insanely good drum work by Bonham and Page kept right up there with him.
Zeppelin are 1 of those bands where headphones are pretty much essential so you can hear all the subtleties behind the brute force wall of sound. There's soooooo much going on under the surface with them they're incredible. Listen to this track 10 times and specifically pickout 1 member and listen jsut for what they're doing. Itk blow your mind just how intricate they actually are.
There's 8 guitar tracks on this and Jimmy recorded them all in 1 night weaving an intricate and haunting guitar work.
There are loads of great technical guitarist but very VERY few who can just talk directly to your soul the way Jimmy page does
My favorite Zeppelin song. Back in the day when I used to play Drums I spent a long time getting my right foot to play that bass drum beat for that long. Absolutely worth it. So much fun to play. The live version of this song however is just completely insane. Bohnam is a friggin' beast in that version even more so than here which is mind boggling to even consider.
Knebworth live in 79 is hands down the best version of this song.
By far my favorite Zep song. Best song sonically imo
Bonzo is another planet on this one. Wtf. Him and Jimmy are locked in ( a musical oddity because normal its the bass and drums that are locked in together) and they just ramping it up until the very end.
@@John_Locke_108 can't forget JPJ on the galloping! I tried playing this song both on bass and drums and it is one hell of a workout
Thank you for doing a Zeppelin song that I do not here every day on the radio. I love this song and the whole album.
Robert had a cast on his leg when he was singing this song and fell. Thus the title of the song. There was humor in that zeppelin camp.
If you're ready for an instrumental, try Jessica by The Allman Brothers.
Still so many songs. For a fast short song id go with "communication breakdown"
Paige is most definitely the greatest guitarist ever. Pure genius and genuine talent, every single solo hes got is simply perfection in its purest form. Greatest rock song in its history for me.
Love your Led Zeppelin reactions. Please react to Grand Funk Railroad “ Inside Looking Out” 1969!!
The live version!
Indeed.Y'all will lose your minds
“Congrats to Everyone who is early and found this comment”!
I am loving Lex’s look for this and Sabbath’s Sweet Leaf. She could walk into a concert by either band at this point in musical history and she’d look like she belongs there. Achilles Last Stand is my all-time favourite Zep song. 13+ minutes of pure unadulterated musical bliss.
Awesome track. Great to see Lex smiling so beautifully again. As she always does! Appreciating great music
God I can not listen to this song without the next one up on the album!!! Gotta que it up rn!🤘😎🤘
Y’all would love it too! “For Your Life”
Nice to see. An young Lady like her get into the zeppelin rollercoaster.
Welcome in the World of the Real music and greetings from germany
This is my all time favorite Zeppelin track.
You guys have awesome reactions and I love seeing Lex's beautiful smile on this, one of my favorite songs of all time. I first heard it in 1980 in the dorm room of a college friend, of course after a few bong hits :-) Now having hit 60 years old, I still remember that moment with incredible clarity and joy. No song quite came close until I heard 7Empest by Tool. You should definitely check that out and react to it - it has a different sound but has the same (or more) complexity and intensity. You won't be disappointed!
Never thought you guys would do my fav Zep tune. Too long, and a deep dive for the casual listener, or so I thought. Zep has more surprises for you. Fool In the Rain, In the Evening, All My Love, haven't seen a reaction to anything from "In Through the Out Door" album. Have fun checking it out.
Glad you guys finally reacted to this song. This is Led Zeppelin's one of the underrated song. And John Bonham went total beast on the drums. It sounds like him and Paige were on crack when they played it.
Another underrated song is The Wanton Song, and it is absolutely banging. Cant wait for you guys to react to that.
Watching Brad & Lex reaction on this song is like watching two individuals on the same rollercoaster ride with two different reactions, Brad is like White knuckling holding on the rail and yelling OMG, and Lex is cool calm and collective feeling all the clicks and flowing with the curves, and the peaks and valley's, i love you both ✌️😎
I was fortunate enough to see them do this song in San Diego one of my great memories !
One of the most talented band that ever was! Every album sounded different! Genius musicians, song writing, and vocals!
