[@peterbartolomeo5542]

The Beatles lasted 8 yrs. They were a Pop Rock commercial successful band. Led Zeppelin was the four greatest musicians in Rock and Roll / Blues history. The Beatles couldn't stand on the same stage with Zepp

[@MsAppassionata]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@peterbartolomeo5542 The Beatles were NOT just a “ Pop Rock commercial“ band. They defied any particular genre. Plus, their ability to experiment in the studio made it possible for virtually every band that followed them (including LZ) to follow suit. That should NEVER be underestimated. As for live performances, I don’t claim that The Beatles were as virtuosic in terms of featuring solo, standout performances by the individual members but, that was not their forte. They operated more as a single unit, in service to their songs. Totally different approach to playing. Besides, the only time most of the general public got to hear them at their best (or nearly their best, for all we know) was at their short rooftop concert in 1969. John Lennon once said that their best live shows occurred in Hamburg before they even became famous.

[@aviadilo]

@@peterbartolomeo5542 The Beatles remain the best band of all time imho. They revolutionized pop and rock music. No other band evolved and reinvented themselves as much as they did, and no other band released as many great songs as they did or such a variety of music. For sure, Led Zeppelin is a great band, with amazing guitarwork and drumming, and so many epic, complex tracks. Ultimately it's probably like comparing apples and oranges!

[@figaroofoo5930]

​@@peterbartolomeo5542The point is that they always have to include the Beatles in any comparison to praise other artists, like in this case the subject of the main comment who knows that there is no band bigger than the Beatles who necessarily compares them to Led Zeppelin to give them more prominence, that says a lot, don't you think?

[@sarcasmagasm]

Lyrically, many of these songs are basically blues covers. For the most part, these songs are Zeppelin reinterpreting the blues.

[@Frank-pb2rh]

But they are the greatest pumped up blues band ever!on Zeppelin 1,as they progressed and matued,they got more experimental and brought in Celtic,old English folk,middle eastern tunings and sounds ,they were not just a blues band but their songs even their covers don't resemble the originals in feeling and sound ,to me they are the greatest ever and they created the slow start then kick ass crescendos,!!!

[@timothymajors4176]

Robert Plant uses his voice as an instrument and Jimmy Page uses his instrument as a voice and they work so well together.

[@greggpangle4385]

The entire album was recorded in 7 days. Crazy. Imagine this came out while they were already on tour, and the Beatles and Beach Boys were the biggest bands on the planet. These guys brought it, nothing like it before or since. The absolute Kings.

[@mrlaserboy]

Led Zeppelin is such an amazing band... their fifth album "houses of the holy" is, in my humble opinion, the greatest they've done and one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Those 4 guys were/are just so insanely talented and devoted to their music and instruments. It's crazy

[@AT-yg4nk]

Man you just went down one of the greatest rabbit holes to ever fall into!! In my opinion, Led Zeppelin is 2nd, right behind The Beatles in terms of their influence, relevance and impact on music as a whole. Robert Plant is one of the greatest rock vocalist, frontman and most badass, sexy mofos to ever grace the stage!! Jimmy Page! Easily considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarist ever to pick up the axe! John Paul Jones!! Not just a genius bass player, but synth/keyboard and one of the greatest composers in rock history! And John Bonham!! Considered the “greatest drummer of all time!” Changed the game entirely with his style, his use of polyrhythms and triplets was far ahead of its time! You will remember this day for the rest of your life my guy! Excited to see you embark on this journey!

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Zeppelin is amazing, never before heard tempos, wow vocals, a master guitarist (Jimmy Page) and oh those drums. Genius.

[@bvscfanatic]

When this album was released, I was in college. A friend of mine got the album and told a bunch of us, "You have to come and listen to this". We all went into his room, and our jaws dropped as we listened to this album. We thought we had died and gone to music heaven. When Led Zeppelin II came out, the same friend bought it and told us all, "You won't believe me, but this one is even BETTER". We all laughed at him, but soon we realized that he wasn't lying. And so it went with all first four albums. It was just incredibly good music with a heavy blues influence. Just listen to Robert Plant's voice. He is a blues singer. And John Bonham was one of the greatest drummers of the 20th century. Everyone in that group was an extraordinary talent.

[@tektoniks_architects]

There are so many great great bands. My top 5 are Beatles, Zep, Stones, Who and Skynyrd, but I love Sabbath, Purple, Floyd, Rush, Cream, Hendrix, Yes, Rush, and hundreds of others. I just put the Beatles and Zep in their own category.

[@joescott8877]

@@tektoniks_architects Yeah, I think that's valid. Especially when I reflect at how many personnel changes the Stones and The Who went thru, and the fact that many bands have "bad" albums or "classic" periods, when they were hitting on all cylinders, etc (Stones with Mick Taylor, for ex.), but I don't think, despite my obvious bias, you can really say that about The Beatles or Zeppelin. Same members thruout their career, every album quite damned good!

[@tektoniks_architects]

Both bands very musically diverse as well (as were the Stones and the Whoo, too). All those bands could play blues, rock, acoustic, hard rock, ballads, prog, country, reggae....they were all such gifted musicians there was no limit to where they could go. That set them above other bands who were locked into a specific genre only, IMO.

[@yigit_tky]

If you listen carefully, you’ll find out that “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” sounds like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. They are both in the same key and share a really similar chord progression.

[@yigit_tky]

@@geetarman their styles are so different, you can't compare.

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

Joan Baez had a minor hit with the same song before Zeppelin or White Album, an old traditional folk blues. Her version has no rock in it whatsoever but I think the key is still the same. I don’t think Harrison or Clapton were copying that tune either fwiw. There was just a lot of rock borrowing from blues in the late 60s

[@anahatatutu]

Can't go wrong with the first 3 albums. They went on growing, exploring, and maturing. IMO their peak works (my favorites) are LZ IV, Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti. For laughs you should hear the Dread Zeppelin version of "Your Time is Gonna Come."

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Beatles might be kings of pop but Zeppelin are the gods of rock. Plant and Page jump out at you now but with more listens you will appreciate the GOAT of drummers, John Bonham, and JPJ who plays bass, percussion and keys. Zeppelin 2 is similar to this album but a bit more funky...you won't be disappointed ,,,again. If you want an experience in between, listen to "Moby Dick" (an epic drum solo)from their Albert Hall performance...it will blow you away.

Zeppelin were most influenced by the early black R&B and Blues artists of the 1930's, 40's, 50's and then into the Motown era of the 60's.

[@johnD-ph9vd]

Great reaction video!! The most notable reaction I took from you was how wild Jimmy page kept getting in this album. The best way I can explain this is that Jimmy was so much more talented on the guitar than any body who came before him and he wanted to show case his talents on this album, and what a job he did. That “sound” you heard on “Dazed and Confused” was actually a violin bow on his guitar. It was amazing what he was able to do on both electric and acoustic. Another thing that I want to point out is the area where they grew up in in England had a major musical influence from American Blues. Albums where brought back from shipping routes by Long shore man during the American jazz/blues period. That area of England feel in love with American Blues/jazz. From that Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones grew up playing and listening to that type of music. When they formed their own band, their love for Blues/Jazz continued. That’s why you have Songs like “You Shook Me” “I Can’t Quit You Baby” and “How Many More Times” sound similar to Blues music with added heavy focus on guitar because they wanted to give what they grew up loving a new Rock and Roll Twist. As you listen to more albums you will notice a Pattern.

[@drnoahpepper]

If Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne is what got you into liking rock music then you have to check out Black Sabbath next, especially their first album. They were Ozzy’s original band from the 60’s that invented Heavy metal and music has never been the same since

[@CarlosCastillo-ss1vq]

24:50 You’re so fukking right, the best white music comes from black music influences. Led Zeppelin is an amazing band tough

[@HBMediaFilms]

100% right. Rock was pioneered by black artists. Made mainstream by acts like Elvis Presley who had many black artists writing his songs and giving him songs because radios wouldnt give airtime to black artists, and giving them to Elvis was the only way they could make real money out of them. The Beatles were always open about how much they got from artists like Chuck Berry and Little Richard

[@456012]

@@HBMediaFilmsbut just as many black artists had white people writing their songs. Hound dog by sister Rosetta Thorpe for example, one of the most famous rock songs ever written by 2 white guys. And into the 60’s and 70’s white artists were widely covered by black artists and had some of their biggest hits- all along the watchtower by Hendrix, proud Mary by Tina turner to name a few. Further, it’s true that Elvis had an advantage because of his race in the 50’s, but it’s really not why he was such a next level cultural force and continues to be now. He has one of the greatest most instantly recognizable voices ever and was an incredible song interpreter and had amazing charisma. There were plenty of other genius white rock artists of that era (buddy holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins) who aren’t nearly as culturally ubiquitous now. So his legacy can’t just be chalked up to his race, or those other dudes would be just as famous as well. Elvis had something truly unique and special.

[@456012]

You could argue the same for black music, considering 20th century black American music was based almost entirely on white European instruments - piano, saxophone, guitar, trumpet, etc.

[@HBMediaFilms]

@@456012 That's really interesting I never knew that about Hound Dog! Oh yeah Elvis was a star for so many reasons would never deny that. The man was born for it! And that's the same thing even now with so many of the big artists of the day have songs written for them, not every great songwriter has the stage presence to sell the songs they write I suppose

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Traffic (hope you check them out too). The main British bands that came out in the 60's, definitely influenced by blues/R&B. Let's not forget the great Jimi Hendrix who went to England in order to become famous. Love your thoughtful reactions, Darius.

Amazing!! The Mighty Led Zeppelin!! Definitely gotta do Zeppelin 2. They have some of the greatest classic rock albums of all time! Whereas the Beatles kept evolving from album to album (Abbey Road is way different from Please Please Me)..IMO I feel Zeps sound and album just continues to build off of the sound and vibe of their first album. They still grow and explore their sound and they have different types of bangers later in their catalog (like Kashmir and Nobody’s Fault But Mine) their overall vibe always kept that tension sound! Which personally I love!

[@hungfao]

Like the Beatles, LZ have a deep rabbit hole. You are in for a ride. They were part of the British blues movement some of that influence can also be heard on Beatles' tracks like 'Yer Blues' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'. LZep were four individuals that were arguably the masters at what they did at the time. Like the Beatles, another perfect wave. Great music every album.

[@jaymiller8222]

24:25 (R&B/blues/black influence) Very perceptive! You got it exactly right - and that's the significance of the British Invasion. The white kids in the segregated 1950s weren't exposed to the essential music of black artists (blues, R&B, etc such as Robert Johnson) due to middle class racism. Meanwhile British kids in the 50's could more easily hear those artists and were heavily influenced by the blues/R&B. As young adults in the 60's, that whole generation of Brits had a very different, more soulful vibe, which they exported back to the US as the British Invasion. That was fortunate, but at the same time it was sad that Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Stones, etc. had to reintroduce white middle America to its own rich heritage.

much appreciated 🙏🏾

[@babypuncher2000]

you have to check out lz IV as well. one of their best

Dude I want to see you go through the whole history of rock music. It makes me so happy seeing someone hearing this stuff for the first time. Can't wait to see you get to 70s punk rock and 80s/90s alternative rock like Pixies, MBV, Nirvana, Pumpkins. Before you leave the 60s though you MUST experience Hendrix. Electric Ladyland is an all-time classic. But from where you are now, Ziggy Stardust, Raw Power, Never Mind the Bollocks.... that'll get you where you're going..

[@lifeofdariius]

thats my plan for this channel, 60s all the way to the 2000's 🙏🏾 gonna be the history of rock music just through my twisted lens

My man…set up a Patreon. Would love to see the full reaction. Loving your journey

[@lifeofdariius]

Zep II & every future reaction will be up in full on Patreon! Just set up a page yesterday actually

[@smert_ditto]

Glad you enjoyed it, though it's not the most critically acclaimed, this album is definitely my favorite of theirs

[@RockinMamaT]

You must check out Stairway to Heaven live from MSG in 1973.Epic❤

I am a fan of both these bands from the 60' & 70's. I grew up on this and as a true fan of both bands I know you can't compare 2 different styles of music. Both are genious.

[@hejmuesli]

Next check out their second album Led Zeppelin II and this time don't use genius, because it can take away some of the surprises the tracks sometimes have in them in tempo changes. I would say that for Led Zeppelin the experience is not primarily in the lyrics; it's in the music. Another tip: Try to pick up on how amazingly well John Bonham is on the drums. It may take a second listen, but in the realm of drumming he is as impressive as Jimmy Page is on the guitar and Robert Plant is with singing :)

[@lifeofdariius]

That's kind of how I felt after listening I'm glad somebody else confirmed it 😂 This is a lot more about the feeling the surprises the build up. I've been listening to this since the reaction and the drumming definitely jumped out at me today I can't wait to hear II

[@davidepperson3685]

This is my favorite band and my grandson is appreciating them now too (8 yrs old). Zep2 is great, Zep 3 is a bit controversial but they’re back to Zeppyness on Zep4 and beyond. Their entire anthology is amazing and you have lots more you can explore. Their rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony is an awesome watch too! Really enjoyed your comments and reactions.

[@loristimpfle3700]

This is slaughtering this album. Youre breaking my heart!

[@vixybanker]

I am a die hard Zeppelin fan. And many of their songs are covers ( blues). So you have it right! I saw them when I was 16, twice in one week! Go down the rabbit hole, & you will find beauty, complexity, and masterpieces!

[@JohnSmith-dh3kx]

This album took me 30 years to fully appreciate. There are so many facets to it. It was too much for me to digest at a young age. It's now my favourite Zep album

[@aviadilo]

First time listening to a reaction of yours - enjoyed it! Being a big Beatles fan, I'm going to check out your Beatles reactions too. Re Led Zeppelin I: it's a stunning debut album and one of LZ's best.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

Most LZ fans pick “Led Zepplin IV” as their best LP. “Led Zeppelin introduced me to the band in 1969. The best LZ LP. Blues, Soul, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Metal.

[@mrlaserboy]

You gotta check out some pink floyd and jimi Hendrix. Maybe even watch some live performances of Hendrix cause he is just so wild on stage

[@L0NG_PR0NG]

Enjoyed this bro 👍

[@johncollins1797]

You totally underrated the magnificent drumming of John Bonham. The driving force behind this band.

[@sogggyyy]

5:16 that slide guitar dripping with heavy reverb beginning 2 minutes and 9 seconds in on Babe I’m Gonna Leave You is still such a unique part by Page that made Zeppelin stand out from the rest.

[@joshehrendreich4058]

Great choice for introduction to the greatest band of all time.

[@SnoBear626]

Young friend, that was one helluva first dive!!!

[@mrbunghole]

"You Shook Me" is another one that I really loved after hearing the BBC sessions version.

[@morpher44]

I was digging through my older cousins album, found this album, and played it over and over again during one summer. I was hooked on Zep.
