Led Zeppelin 2 is the greatest hard rock album ever produced.Period.

[@twobeer3316]

Their first 2 albums shook the world, and rock would never be the same...

[@sheiladrucker6872]

Headbangers, welcome to our generation..... It still gets me 2023!

[@johnfrank3177]

Hey guys. Glad you're reacting to this one. I don't think John Paul Jones gets enough credit for his contributions to the Led Zeppelin sound. Just listen to how his bass part drives this song. Keep listening, I'm enjoying your reactions as always. Peace.

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

Led Zeppelin- The Best Band Ever !! In my humble opinion.. So very blessed to have grown up with their music in the 70's !

[@Frobbus]

I grew up in the wrong era. Wish I could have lived in those times. The Good Times, I'm In The Bad Times

[@jasonremy1627]

On of the world's perfect albums. Every second of Led Zeppelin II is amazing. Front to back, just perfect.

[@custardflan]

Led Zeppelin II is imho may be the best rock album ever.

[@karlaklaus-hoobler5685]

Someone said John Paul Jones is the secret sauce!!!! So true

[@aspenward390]

My older brother went off to War in 1970 and left all of his albums with me. I was 12, and I loved the music on the radio, Motown, and top 40, but I had never listened to many albums, except all of the Beatles. I was alone one weekend evening, and put this on and turned the volume up full, and I experienced my first manic frenzy. I kept lifting the needle and returning it to the beginning of the album (Heartbreaker is the first song on side two). I was hallucinating from sheer giddiness and head thrashing.

[@tektoniks_architects]

Heartbreaker is a milestone track early in their career....in a way it's one of the critical tracks in the establishment of heavy metal. Eddie Van Halen's fretboard picking style was inspired by Heartbreaker. The next track on the album, Ramble On, is a John Paul Jones bassline clinic.

[@aspjake123]

Is that true about Eddie?

[@retromom5421]

I disagree about Eddie VH. His picking style is pure Steve Hackett (Genesis)

[@musicdunc]

Zeppelin is not metal. They were adopted by metal against their will. #facts

[@tektoniks_architects]

Eddie even was quoted in documented interviews saying this song influenced his playing style.

[@slimpickins9124]

Thanks for playing these two together. After 50 years of hearing it this way & some reactors cut it up....oh man. Love seeing today's youth enjoying the music of my youth. Rock on!

[@retromom5421]

You should see them yung 'uns (pun intended) coming to see Zep cover bands. They know every word, every note!

[@valedslinger6290]

77 Cap Centre.....1st tickets to ever hit $20 was a night with the Heros of my world. Hard to explain but the rock world was Led Zepplin, then everyone else. Every rock act is rated by the Zepplin Scale. At least by teens of the 70s. We are the best judges of hard Rock on the planet. We had the best. So lucky.

[@jerrymartin5100]

May 25th 1977, 9.50 Capitol Center, amazing concert

[@genov9374]

When he broke into the blues, that' part is called the "bridge". Love that you played these 2 gems together. JPJ rocked

[@robertkees6048]

Where's that confounded bridge?

[@christieabbott3744]

Ya'll are so fun to watch ,grew up listening to Zeppelin

[@jaynahoffacker2557]

If you want to hear more of their bluesy moments (and haven’t already checked these out), you need to listen to “In My Time of Dying” and “When the Levee Breaks.”

[@bobbrown9158]

When the Levee Breaks is a song from Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie about the Mississippi flood in 1927. Led Zepplin nailed it with their style of blues and rock, some lyric changes that kicked it up, iconic zep.

[@throwabrick]

@@bobbrown9158 Seconded for In My Time of Dying.

[@artis1969]

The two songs don't exist without one another, and once you know the album, Ramble On flows in perfectly after Living Loving. Keep up the great work, gentlemen!

[@timtonsley8823]

They broke it down on Mothership, Heartbreaker is a stand alone track. Somewhat jarring not hearing then together.

[@jamescox2749]

pure classic rock

[@robertwalker1803]

Brilliance here….

[@oddjobs3025]

Hey Guys, I grew up on this but it really puts a smile on my face when you are just hearing it...AND YOU'RE DIGGIN' IT! CHEERS

[@Gunnercoops]

Guys I’m so happy to see that you really get the mighty led zeppelin 👏

[@vicprovost2561]

Their first 2 albums had a shattering effect on my generation and this was one of the heaviest riffs from those albums that were full of them. You are on a great path and will broaden your musical horizons. Welcome to more of the best music ever and enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@georgetaxi8179]

2 great songs with iconic riffs that go great together. Please get to the band Rush. Thanks.

[@kentmains7763]

That nasty crunchy bass line is just amazing.

[@cweefy]

You guys have a lot of big moments coming with this band!

[@DC-ih8bv]

It's the light and shade effect of Led Zeppelin and Jimmy in Heartbreaker. The first solo break is bending , spontaneous , emotional ..out of the blue . The second solo is faster , and cleaner. This is how they play with your emotions.

[@vCLOWNSHOESv]

I think of them as a two part song. I've only ever heard them together.

[@larryfranklin3305]

Led Zeppelins is a collection of very talented members who got together to make one of greatest bands of all time. I grew up when they were in their prime Jimmy Page is my favorite guitarist of the time.in those days their was a lot of great music and memories

[@georgepaust8416]

When the first song changed to tempo and you thought it was the beginning of the second song, I really enjoyed the moment you realized it wasn't the second song yet. They do that on a few of their songs, changing the tempo two or three times. I grew up with these guys and it's fun watching younger fellas react to one of the greatest bands ever. If I were to make a suggestion, start with the first album and work your way up to the 4th. It's real heavy blues to start but then you get to follow their natural progression. PEACE.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Just gotta love their diversity and talent!

[@aspjake123]

To really appreciate Led Zeppelin you have to re-listen four times over so you can hear, not listen, but hear each of these supremely talented musicians in their moment.

[@briarpatch720]

that bass line is just NASTY!!! so glad you played them together. The radio stations found out the hard way that these two songs go together. anytime they played one without the other their phone lines lit up for hours (literally). I always thought about these with the first song being a younger lady living the life (so to speak) and the second an older lady still trying to live the life. I love that line "with a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat"

[@2869may]

Journey's "Feeling that Way/Anytime" is another great pair of songs that are played together...!

[@MrDeengels]

JPJ’s bass is so effin hard in this song! Nasty

[@rufscooby1]

he got it!

[@ElDuderino716]

I can’t wait till you guys hear Led Zep do “The Lemon Song”, the bass line is INCREDIBLE!!! Honest drives the song with an amazing groove!!!

Good job guys. You did it right. 👍 Damn they were good.

[@simonsmith3060]

You guys are awesome. I was in college when I started listening to LZed and even saw them in LA in '75, they are really gods of music.

[@awoken1445]

Uh-huh, I could live without ever hearing Livin Lovin Maid again, but I really like Heartbreaker!❤

[@swampnutz5201]

why? its one of their better tunes

[@Dan-zq5wt]

This was a milestone song - one of the foundation songs in metal and rock. Heaviest guitar riff, JPJ’s funky and DISTORTED bass tone, powerful, in your face vocal and that a capella guitar break with the open string pull offs and behind the nut bends laid the foundation for virtuoso guitarists such as VH and Steve Vai. On I and II that’s the song I think you hear the most in later hard rock (I guess also Dazed, GTBT, Communication Breakdown and WLL with Heartbreaker was the foundation for 70s heavy rock and metal).

[@zacknicley8150]

You guys will be excited when you get to their reggae, disco, and funk tunes.

[@Roh_Echt]

Arguably their best album...but I loved them all.

[@williamdavis600]

Seeing Led Zeppelin live in the 70s was a breath taking experience. I still remember sitting in my dorm stunned when we lost Bonzo..RIP

[@bradfriesen6950]

One of the first times I heard this album was on quadraphonic speakers it was amazing never forgot it thanks for bringing back the memories 🎉

[@tonypalombinijr2946]

The heaviest bass line I've ever heard.

[@scottbowen6811]

One of rocks all time greatest guitar riffs and guitar solos.....in the same song.

[@beverlytaylor1745]

Let it plaaaay - love it!

[@olly8]

From the first guitar lick you can tell this is gonna be a MONSTER!! HEAVY METAL meets ROCK'N ROLL & BLUES. And you can't listen to this song and cut off Livin, Loving Maid... its just not right in my head if you do!! Only a breath apart‼️😊

[@DTH3000]

So many great LZ songs. Please do “When The Levee Breaks”. A must!

[@vinceedwards3978]

You will never miss the transition between the two songs, once you hear it! It is obvious

[@827dusty]

Technically, these are two separate songs, but even on the radio they are always played together as one song. Other examples of this are "The Guess Who's" "No Sugar Tonight," and The New Mother Nature. "Grand Funk's" "I'm Your Captain," and "Closer to Home." I'm sure there are more examples of this, but I'm pretty sure you only find it in Rock music. Thanks guys

It reminds me of a frieght train starting up & then getting going. Something Heavy.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

God Bless gents, you did it just right! Gotta be played together. If you grew up always hearing them together you know how lacking they sound by themselves. Keep rockin guys, and I’ll stay subscribed. 🤘😎

[@joewilson4151]

this is blues based rock and roll as interpreted by the boys, outstanding stuff

[@tunetwin1]

The opening lyrics were supposed to be a dig at a woman who was obsessed with Jimmy Page and would come into the studio when they were recording the album, it’s in the book “Hammer of the Gods” she was a much older woman so Plant added the opening part to tease Jimmy

[@bittergrace3501]

[@peterjonas4971]

Motown was a huge influence on John Bonham's drumming; he always swings as much as he rocks. Also, I grew up as a young kid with KISS, and you can tell how much Ace Frehley was influenced by that solo.

[@edwardcrews2952]

Fantabulous. Thank you so much for this reaction

[@jimmybest5404]

You guys should listen Traveling Riverside Blues.

[@gigglehertz]

I've never understood the pairing of these 2 songs. Classic rock radio stations always play them together but imho the 2nd one is just a throwaway song that I've never cared for. I don't get the attraction at all other than "that's the way it's always been done." But Heartbreaker is one of my all time favorite LZ songs. The bass during the verses is just so deep and rich.

[@djquiz6425]

These songs are always played together. If they play Heartbreaker on the radio, you can be sure they will play the next song too. Always, every time.

[@MrDirty-if7gc]

I'm glad you did these two songs together, thanks guys.

[@brandonboucher7090]

And then right after this is goes into “Ramble On”…(they knew you wanted to hear the half time bluesy groove) that’s why they gave you a taste of it here.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Heartbreaker is a great song. The song was actually finished when Jimmy decided to add the solo so if you listen to it again, you'll notice the solo sounds a little different in tone than the rest of the song and that's because it was recorded at a different time and maybe at a different studio - I don't recall at the moment. There's a great live version of this from Earls Court in 1975 that runs 8 minutes and 12 seconds (I'd post the link but I don't want my comment to get removed). None of the band liked Living Loving Maid. Jimmy wrote it about an older groupie who used to follow them around New York and tell fanciful stories of how well she knew them and what good friends they all were. They thought the song was too pop music sounding which wasn't a direction they wanted to take their music.

[@algoner4421]

I have never really been a fan of it either.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

@@algoner4421 To be fair, personally I like the song but I was just sharing the band's thoughts about it.

[@algoner4421]

@Henrietta Skolnick yes I got that. I'm just not a fan and never have really enjoyed it much.

[@mcress449]

I’ve read a lot about why Jimmy supposedly hated this song. I’m not convinced he did. His partner at the time, Charlotte Martin had already given birth to Scarlet, whom of course he later married is widely documented as telling Jimmy to never play that live. Which they never did. Unfortunately we lost the Heartbreaker/Maid combo we always remember beginning with LZII. Yes, about an older groupie(s), specifically two who may have been sisters? We know the name of one. The line, “Telling tall tales of how it used to be” I believe is why the entire group despised these women. I suspect tall tales included Jimmy and directly or indirectly Charlotte, which is why she had a visceral hate for the whole ordeal, thus the song. As time went on I think the other three looked back on this period dealing with all this particular groupie BS as something to be left n the past. Afterall, Jimmy and Plant wrote it and sung it (Jimmy background). Prominently attached to Heartbreaker, they clearly didn’t hate Maid at the time. I believe Charlotte’s distaste for that “woman” eventually spread to everyone’s distaste of that recollection through song. IMHO.
