![Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady [Graveyard Album Trailer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vOJD-6vQpXU/mqdefault.jpg)
It didn’t feel ahead of its time at the time. It was just THE MUSIC. It was the soundtrack of our lives.
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!???? I grew up on Zeppelin and it was always just great music. To watch others discover it with new eyes is a revelation. Especially these two guys who really know music and really appreciate music. Other reactors just head nod along and say “ohh this is great!”
These guys really know what they are talking about!!!!!
And what a great time to be young
Well said. How could we have known it was ahead of its time until we had something in the future to compare it with.
Exactly. I’m right back to being 15 years old
This was Zeppelin really splitting wide open in the creative zone.
Back in college, I had recently started dating a guy and he invited me over for dinner and at one point looked at me and sang this song. Lawd hab mercy! I was a goner! Thirty-five years later we call this song "The Wooing Song" and my kids know it is why they walk this earth. Good, good memories.
Lucky girl! I'd have gone for him too!! 😂
@@lindakessler8768 Ha Ha! He's a keeper!
That’s an amazing story. Congratulations. 35 years late.
Page playing all guitars - 6 string, 12 string acoustics, 6 & 12 electrics. At the height of his POWERS!!!! #longlivePage
If you like their 5th album (and many of us do!), LZ said "hold my beer" and created a masterpiece double album for #6!!
and then came Presence 😊
Both albums were witten at the same time- That's one of reason that even though this is titled "Houses of the Holy' that actual song "Houses of the Holy" is a track on the album "Phyiscal Graffitti".
pg is a MONSTER album!!! in more ways than 1
Yeaahhhh, y’all just wait. Physical Graffiti is gonna knock your socks off, so many different directions and all done top shelf.
@@TheRagratus pg and houses wernt written at the same time. The 5th album was 73. Pg was 75. They did use several tracks written in 72 73 on it though
Jimmy really was a great producer. He knew exactly what he wanted and almost all of the time he got it.
This song has a very lush guitar sound. Jimmy was always keen to expand and explore examples of what he called his "guitar army". It's working title was "Many, Many Times" and it's an intoxicating mix of acoustic, 6-string, and 12-string guitars and, if you listen, the acoustic plays underneath the entire piece, even after the electric comes in and Jonesy's bass bumps keep it rollicking along. The title has a hint of Tolkien about it since it's also the name of a poem he wrote. The outro was the echo of Jimmy's guitar and a clavinet played by Jonesy. It adds a wonderful, subtle, dream-like ending to a fairy-kissed song.
I love your description. I’m always interested in instrumentation analysis of their songs.
@@robertacolarette1594 thank you! 😊Me too so I try to read as much as I can about the construction of their music.
Wait till you hear No Quarter🤯🤯🤯
My favorite Zeppelin song and one of the greatest ever rock songs
Great reaction gents ! Jimmy Page started out with a six string acoustic guitar, then you heard the guitar become richer and fuller sounding at the 46 second mark - Jimmy introduced the 12 string acoustic guitar and mimicks what the six string acoustic is doing.
Then the Led Zeppelin thunderous take off ! The electric six string guitar kicks in and the acoustic guitars are still going.
There are no mandolin and he's not playing the double neck 🙂
You hear Jimmy's guitar solo - he starts out on the high notes -- he starts mid range and then goes down in those lower thicker strings - for this solo and then all over the place. Jimmy loves to get down into those lower register notes on his solos. Many guitarists don't do that.
There's a false ending - when the music drops out -- you hear John Paul Jones playing the clavinet - it's an older piano type instrument. Then you hear Page come with a pedal steel guitar -- those sliding notes in the outro accompanying Jones along w the clavinet.
Plant's voice is awesome and Bonzo's drum are killer.
The production, sounds and songs by Led Zeppelin from any of their albums - is spot on and could fit in - as just as good and in many cases better than many records and songs nowadays. Love your reactions guys.
PS: This was my first full Led Zeppelin record which I heard in full in my teens. I was blown away by it. The diversity on this album is unbelievable.
John Paul Jones is playing a harpsichord .
@@stevenhollingsworth733 Right - I thought it was the sound of a harpichord - not sure why articles call it a clavinet
Why do you know all that? lol
The basic recording was drums, bass and acoustic guitar. Then Jimmy laid down his 12 String and electric guitars over it. The live version from their How the West was Won album is KILLER.
This was always on of my favorite Zep songs....just so tight and varied without being something you ever expect. Their talent was always stunning in every area.
I was a DJ in high school and used this as a final song reading the sign off message over that outro (yeah, small town radio stations used to sign off for the night).
Robert Plant for me is the all time most unique singer. Plant also played a mean harmonica
Everybody is doing heavy lifting here. John Paul Jones and freaking Bonham on that kick drum on the BackBeat oh my.
lol at everybody getting excited for Physical Graffiti and we still got the second side of this bad boy, which is absolute 🔥 in and of itself. Might be the best four song series in their canon.
I LOVE Houses of the Holy.
I'm loving revisiting the whole 'zep library via you guys. By FAR my favorite music, and I taught my 16 year old daughter from early age this is gold standard of music. As awesome as it has been thus far, there is still MORE TO COME for you!! If we're voting, Ramble On is my favorite.
great comment, "it's hard to keep up with yourself, when you are so far ahead of everyone else."
GREAT song! Was literally on the radio every 5 minutes in the 70's, 80's and 90's...probably playing as we speak haha.
Always been my favorite song on this album.
It keeps getting better. You guys have a lot of great moments coming with this band.😉
you guys are right about the depth of their music catalogue. This is 5 albums in and the next is a double album and possibly the greatest double album ever made
Greatest Rock Band of All Time 👍, we appreciate your work and your channel
When we were kids, any kid who could play the opening riff on the guitar was greatly admired as a guitar player. 😀
Studio guy: “Would you like an electric or acoustic guitar for this track?”
Jimmy Page: “Yes.”
To think of the audacity to play such great music in front of all those people!
Studio guy: OK? 12 or 6 for the acoustic?
Jimmy: Yes
@@natewilliams1062Dealer: what would you like?
Jimmy “yes”
@@dylanzrim3635 🤣
Can’t wait for y’all to hit No Quarter.
I'll be 68 this June ... this was high school CRUISIN' music !!! 💪😎👍
James Gang. Funk 49. Peace ✌️
There’s so many masterful parts to this track that Bonzo’s groove doesn’t usually get enough attention. He’s ghosting on the snare just about every single beat and it makes it sound so smooth 🤌
"It's hard to catch up with yourself when you are that far ahead"👏
“It’s hard to catch up with yourself, when you are that far ahead” Brilliant analysis
Back in 75, my husband and I, along with the 2 guitarists from his band, drove 100 miles to Albany, GA for him to shop for a new set of drums. There was a very young boy in there playing around on several acoustic guitars, looked to be a pre-teen as we were all teenagers and he was much younger than us. He started playing this and smoked up the room. He never missed a lick. Caused Mark and Phil to slip into depression mode 😆 Yeah, that kid was THAT GOOD. Was a long ride home because he left them both speechless.
And this album just keeps getting better. 🙃
The next tune THE CRUNGE, is one funky tune.
Typical of Zeppelin, they put the funk into what I like to call "Picasso mode" with alternating time signatures, including 9/8. It sounds like a puzzle that your mind wants to figure out.
Yep...they were wizards with time signatures.
I'm not a musical expert, so I LOVE listening to your reactions. You 2 articulate ( in technical/musical terms) what I've always thought but couldn't intelligently say 😂. Thanks guys, EXCELLENT 👍
Back then it just seemed like the way it was supposed to be, that there were great bands & artists that put out great music.
This is the way . . . .
If I was pressed for my favorite led zeppelin tune, this would be it. Which is saying something, since I love all their stuff.
Keep getting better….can’t wait until y’all get to “Graffiti”!
I told Pagey who produces all of the LZ albums that this was my favorite album as far his producing genius...the layers of guitars he used to produce and mix this album was just breathtaking
The way he mic-ed Bonham's drums! When the Levee Breaks!!
@@peterjonas4971 Boody brilliant!
One of the greatest bands of all time completely in their stride.
At some point you just can’t think of many more ways to say how great everything Zep did was. At least that’s how it is for me. Another great reaction guys.
next is the Crunge, Zeps attempt at funk, Plant says "do the James Brown" when they throw this song in live Dazed n confused (1975) cant wait to see what you two's think
Love the Crunge, love the whole album for its experimentations
Yeah, y’all gonna flip your lids on this song!
When zeppelin 4 came out, I told my cousin and friends that were there,,,in fifty yrs ppl will learn about zeppelin and hear them for the first time and go nuts,,then when those ppl turn 60’s,,they will teach teens then about Led Zeppelin, which will bring zeppelin into the next century, was my prediction
Page was very creative in his guitar work such as using a violin bow to extract sounds from his instrument.
Back in high school I used to play this song on drums with my buddies, and could never get Bonzo's kick pattern down. Plus he slightly changes the time of his beat at the end of the bridge that threw me off. Its subtle but genius!
Not bad for a 50-year-old song is it? this is why we all love Zeppelin so much.
The greatest band ever
Amazing how they could make rock songs sound so pretty.
This is 'one' of those songs that basically everyone knows it is LZ. From the first notes to Robert's singing. Unmistakable.
Can’t tell you how many quarters I fed into the jukebox in our snack bar in college and this was one of my 3 selections while banging on the foosball table! What a great tune!
I was 13 years old and they wiped me out of my feet, than!
Ahhh the mighty led Zeppelin satisfies!! Glad you are enjoying these tunes fellas,they are the sound track of our lives!!! Globally zeppelin can bring a smile to anyone!!! Just play at maximum volume.... 👍✌️
Most versatile band ever. RockStars everlasting.
There are about 4 to 5 Zeppelin songs that seem to recycle themselves and just never get old this is one of them...👍
No matter the style they choose to play they always hit the mark!
The Rhythm riff that Jimmy uses during the guitar solo is brilliant. Get ahold of How the West Was Won and listen to the version on that live recording that was from L.A. Forum (25 June 1972) and Long Beach Arena (27 June 1972).
Jimmy was THE riff master.
I have thoroughly enjoyed you guys appreciating all aspects of the music you listen to. And you’re both really good at understanding the instruments and who’s doing what. Kudos to you both for your appreciation and musical journey. We are all far more alike than different. Music is one of those bridges for all people in the world. From all over the world. Imagine if we had a global day of peace and music. No governments, just lead by you, your neighbors. That’s what music does gentlemen. Keep going. :)
I just LOVE hearing new appreciation for music that was the everyday soundtrack for us in the 70s. Thank you and keep exploring!
I was born six years too late. THank you both, and please react to when the levee breaks by zep.
I think tech has made people lazy, its kinda sucked the soul out of music. Back then you had to work on it and know what you are doing, now you just know which box to click on, no in depth knowledge . Oh and the next album has some real gems on it as well.
You are exactly right
In the 80's they were my fave band, Rush a close second, also like ELO, 70's Pink Floyd, 70's and some 80's Queen, 70's Sabbath, 70's Aerosmith, etc
Guessing you guys are on the same journey I was on 50 yrs ago. I told you hang on cuz this only gets better. Welcome to the club, it's a ride you'll never exit. I'm excited to see you finish this side, it's almost like I'm listening for the first time.🎵🎼🎶✌️🎸
They were just so versatile you never knew what was going to come from them you just knew it would be fantastic
You'd be hard pressed to find any guitarists of my generation that doesn't play this song! ❤
So at the beginning, Jimmy is playing a regular 6 string guitar. Then on the second time around, a second track of him playing the same thing ok 12 string guitar is layered in. Also, when you aren't quite sure who is playing an instrument, 99% of the time it's the secret weapon JPJ (except Plant on harmonica tracks). I love these videos man. It brings me a lot of joy seeing people experience songs that I know so well.
This whole album hits me different, been my favorite Zep since high school
Brilliant reaction as always guys... The first four tracks build on LZ IV...
Going in album order will really make you guys appreciate Physical Graffiti just like us old guys did when we were kids!
BRILLIANT TO SAY THE LEAST.....THANKS
Can I just say that however much I know and love all Led Zep’s first 6 albums and these reactions - I CANNOT WAIT! … until you guys get to Physical Graffiti - especially ‘Kashmir’ - that is a slab of unmatched, pounding, unique and thrilling music. Houses of the Holy is incredible but there’s some tracks on PG that will have you foaming at the mouth! Including The Rover, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, In The Light, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song.
But I’m loving your appreciations so far.. great to witness as a guy who got into Zep when I was 19. Now I’m in my 40’s. Unfortunately there is a drop off after Physical Graffiti, excepting a few great songs. But it’s extremely rare that a band puts out such a long string of great albums, with that growth and versatility throughout. And yes, The Rain Song moves me to tears also.
I've been waiting for you guys to get to this one. The best, along with "Ten Years Gone
Ever get that feeling like Roberts in your head? God bless the Thunder of the Gods
I bought that album when it came out a few years ago😀 still one of my favorites. Zepplin floyd sabbath good times.
the mighty led zeppelin
Zeppelin got even better with their next album Physical Graffiti. That was the band's peak..
Au contraire, this album, was the peak -- PG is GREAT, but an indefinable spark was just starting to fade from their music . . . .
@@fewwiggle HOTH was very good but no way was it better than PG. I'll bet that 8 out of 10 people would pick that over HOTH..
@@robertwheatley9153 PG might be 'better' (though I doubt it), but again, I'm talking about PEAK LZ -- and a significant part of that peak is a certain swagger, a certain freshness, a 'spark', a je ne sais quoi in Houses of the Holy that they never quite returned to . . . .
@@fewwiggle --To each his own. Both were were xlnt records. But I will stick with PG being the majority pick as the band's best album. No question in my mind that PG was the band's magnum opus. That album had everything and is my favorite album by anyone. It was all downhill after that..
My fave song ever, since a kid!!! Do CCR, please!!!
This album was so diverse, you are going to be surprised.
My favorite Zep album by far.
Being a teenager back in the seventies was priceless.
Zeppelin, Queen, AC/DC, the Who, Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Bob Seger, Boston, Aerosmith, I could go on, but I think you get it.
Spoiled? Yeap, an we loved every minute of it!
Reminds me of middle school. We had the best music.
This live was unbelievable in 75.
When I was younger listening to the song I always thought the ending was a guitar. But it's actually JPJ on the harpsichord. Still sounds like a guitar to me especially at the very end. But now of course I can hear the harpsichord the whole time.
This is like watching myself at twelve in 1980 discovering Led Zeppelin! Such nostalgia!
Always loved playing this song....been a while. Goin sit now as a matter of fact....
This is my favarate LZ album. Thank you haven't heard this song for a few years, still gets me grooving even though I can't move like I used to. All the best.
Great music like this has no expiration date
You must react to LZ Presents album next, will blow your minds! musically all members are at the peck of their tallent and masters of their craft! Look foward to your reactions to it... LZ the GOATS!!!!
Don't worry -- they are doing all the albums in order -- so your pick will be here 'shortly' (after PG).
Regardless, Presence is over the hills and far away a better album than Presents -- that's the one I'm looking forward to . . . . . :-)
Played this in a band years ago(back to back with the ocean) So fun to play and really weird timing when you’re in it
They taught me the right way to play this back when I was in high-school when I let them used my 6string
1st album I ever bought with my own money...."its so good "
One of my favorites.
Layered guitars sound Amazing...!!!
They were in the zone for sure
Let me tell you that when this song came out. Everyone in Patterson New Jersey was playing this song in the jukebox.. This song and led zeppelin s dyer maker Where is the only 2 songs that were released as singles?. Every latino black man italian man in white man were all telling theirs girlfriends that they have the love that they need and the girls were falling for it.😅😅😅
hey from the uk guys, really enjoying your journey with zepp. growing up my mother mostly listened to stuff like barry manilo!!!!, but i found a radio station that played blues and rock ( probably around 12-3). It wasn't till later (15-16) i got into zepp and you can really hear them great blues men in these great musicians. been a fan for many many years now and your right everytime you pick out something different in the songs/masterpieces :)
Zep never, ever gets old! This is one of my top faves by them, and Imma Zep Head. In live performances after the line "I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold" Plant always added "Acapulco gold!". They weren't a band, they were magic!
Get that Led out!
Back in the day my friends and I used to hang out at a local recreation/game room. It had pinball machines, pool table, and a juke box. Back then the juke box would give you 3 songs for a quarter. We used to put in a quarter and play this song three times. This album (Houses of the Holy) was my introduction to Led Zeppelin.
right on man, " 50 Years later" Cheers🍺
Guys I'm proud to say I was listening to this when it first hit the streets. We had some gooood music back then..............
impossible to pick a favorite LZ song.... 🎸🎸💥💥🏁🏁
Anxious to see what you think about Physical Graffiti. Lots of treasures in there...
It's appealing and exciting to watch reactions from individuals who look beyond. 👍🏽🥳
Such a pleasure to watch you, pick a part, identify, blend, and ENJOY what our ears and hearts knew were REAL!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
