[@josephventi284]

No it is.... Period!!!!

[@glp046]

Nathan. At the end you mentioned how good the drums sure. I don't know how much Zeppelin you've listened to so far or learned about them, but if you haven't listened to much Zep, listen to all the albums . The drummer, John 'Bonzo' Bonham is considered one of the best drummers of all times. Studios have copied his drum sound for decades.

[@avidfather1864]

Possibly the greatest rock song ever made.

[@fisherpeacock7369]

Greatest song*

[@Best_Wrestling_Promos]

I think Queen released “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and then Zep replied with this. And then every musician in the world sighed...

[@braden2721]

@@Best_Wrestling_Promos zeppelin released this way before

[@Mvb2024]

Definitely top 3

[@TollGateAB]

Stairway was published in 1971 and Bohemian in 1975. So it would have been the other way round. Anyway, the history of rock is a great continuum of master songs : 1971 Stairway, 1973 Confortably Numb, 1975 Bohemian, 1976 Hotel California, 1978 Sultans of Swing… and on and on and on… to name only a very, very few.

[@aaroncastillo9627]

When Robert Plant hits that line “to be a rock and not to roll” its so hauntingly beautiful. One of the greatest voices of all time

[@jakobsuriani6463]

Forever etched in my soul since the first time I heard it

[@fatvinnydabully386]

But, to hear Ann Wilson of Heart to sing it at the Kennedy Center to honour LZ, is just as good. Check out that video.

[@Purplefishish]

@@fatvinnydabully386 I agree. That is incredible. And watching the 3 Led Zeps paying homage is fabulous

[@fatvinnydabully386]

@@Purplefishish That gracious and appreciative look on the face of Jimmy Page during that performance said it all.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

The "roll" starts gritty then ends with a haunting falsetto. Great vocal moment

[@viggatross3408]

Imagine listening to Stairway to Heaven for the first time again. What a feeling

[@skip3778]

I just find it hard to believe any adult had never heard this song before.

[@medb8882]

TO BE A ROCK AND NOT TO ROLL!!! 😂😂 I’m 25 and at 13 my mother wouldn’t let me play it in the car since she heard it too much 😭

[@Novelist1958]

Dude, I'm getting that feeling again, after hearing it first time 52 yrs ago. I'm 66 now, senility's kickin in, awright.

[@setekethaos]

its precisely why i like watching these reaction videos to people experiencing certain songs for the first time. its as close to experiencing it for the first time again that you can get.

[@Bs-sf3xh]

It’s great. Especially when you know what’s coming and get to see the reaction.

[@Dr.Loomis666]

If you don't get goosebumps when Jimmy breaks out that solo, get your soul checked.

[@susanbrown5783]

El Maestro. He's the very best guitar player that ever lived.

[@Kim-hc5si]

The buildup is so steady and slow you don’t even realize you’re rocking out until you’re ROCKIN OUT 👏👏👏

[@cave0770]

Yes, more songs should be like that because it creates an amazing feeling

[@daccaboy]

It’s my understanding that Jimmy Paige was taught that tempo should remain static… he thought that was ridiculous…Stairway is one of many examples of defying the rules

[@deborahhalbert3372]

I just love this reaction. “If they gave medals for drummers, this drummer deserve’s a medal!” Well that just about says it all…

[@aaroncrocker4242]

thank you people keep saying I wish I could watch/listen to a song for the first time but his reaction is genuine and the head bobs is chef's kiss

[@shaebryant1916]

It would be Keith moon giving the medals out.

[@meezursrule]

Not for nothing do they call Bonham the greatest rock has ever known...

[@TheFarmanimalfriend]

@@meezursruleBonham was the best drummer ever!

[@geonerd]

It's well mixed, retaining the dynamic range inherent in the music. Modern mastering technique involves applying vast levels of dynamic compression so that everything is 'loud' all the time. And if everything is loud, then nothing is loud. ITS LIKE TYPING IN CAPS ALL THE TIME.

[@mikecaetano]

"Stairway To Heaven" is itself structured like a stairway to heaven, step by step, building to the heaven of that guitar solo, those drum fills, and lyrics voicing ancient truths -- "When all are one and one is all, To be a rock and not to roll" ... John Bonham, their drummer, passed in 1980. The surviving members of Led Zeppelin received the Kennedy Center Honors from President Obama back in 2012. They sat in an upper tier booth wearing rainbow colored accolades adorned with presidential medals along side the Obamas while presenters elaborated on impacts their music made in people's lives. The presentation was capped off with a performance of "Stairway to Heaven" lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, that featured a gospel choir and drumming by Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham. Check KZbin for clips. It's really cool.

[@jrock8089]

Oh do please shut up. Only joking

[@guuumby_1468]

Brings tears to my eyes every single time

[@valeriechesne3514]

It’s the best cover of a song EVER…

[@patriciasmith9422]

Wow.. this song and your description is amazing ❤️

[@juliestone9371]

I cried like a baby watching that

[@BenReeves76]

There's something wonderful about watching someone who loves music love music. Thank you for allowing us to share that experience with you.

[@brandonstigler1476]

Well said.

[@portalina]

Whole time I’m just like “WAIT. . . Prepare for mind blowage” because he’s so into the intro.

[@noway73]

There is NO bad led Zeppelin song ..emerse yourself...listen to every album from start to finish...like we did back in the day ..peace✌️🤘😎

[@andydrums4333]

I did. I heard one song an that was fucking it. 3 albums daily, was done with their 10 albums in 3 days. It was absolutely glorious

[@DovaKirch]

0:33 right off the bat he is bewildered. I am jealous he gets to hear it for the first time. What I wouldnt pay.

[@chrisburgess878]

Love to see the younger generation appreciate the older generation music. Although I am biased, the late 60’s and 70’s had amazing music.

[@danjohnson2986]

Dazed and confused will blow your mind. And the solo from “since I’ve been loving you” is simply epic.

[@freddieelias6794]

Since ive been loving you rough mix is the best page solo. I just listened to it the first time 5 min ago

[@khaleesi4210]

Stairway is one of the best rock songs of all time.

[@Twins1964]

Led Zeppelin is the best !

[@timclark9053]

Is the best rock song

[@ibrahimnahri474]

It is the best..ever

[@calebbullington1593]

This is the way music reaction vids should go. He listens and we get to hear his reactions. He isn’t pausing the song every 30 seconds to explain how he feels or talk about the lyrics. It’s just like listen to music with a friend

[@troubleondemand7703]

John Bonham was one of the greatest ever to sit behind a kit. You should react to Fool In The Rain. Sick groove on that one.

[@jakobsuriani6463]

People over look that song often, Drummers know the Bonhams Shuffle in the record is just something special

[@aaronmoore6275]

​@@jakobsuriani6463 I'm just over a year playing drums, and I won't step to Bonzos stuff. I'm just good enough to know what I'm doing wrong.

[@firsteerr]

they don't give medals for drums but EVERY drummer bows at the alter of bonzo

[@robertasirgutz8800]

The most influential artists in rock. Most iconic song in the genre. Every member is soooo talented.

[@gregquante8864]

Their music is timeless!! Love seeing young people discovering LZ. The greatest rock band ever.

[@Twins1964]

The best RocknRoll band ever! I was a teenage girl listening to them & my Momma tried hard to get me not to like them. She said a nice girl shouldn't be listening to a band like this. I said "Momma I'm sorry to disappoint you but I gotta listen to them, I love them"! 😂❤ I'm an old girl now & still listening! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidjohnson3311]

The best reaction to one of the BEST songs every. Period.

[@cosmicwonders21]

Best drummer ever. He definitely gets the gold medal. Awesome reaction.

[@surfrider1957]

I was in High School when this song came out and I loved it. Two years later when I went in the service this was the only Led Zeplin song I didn't want to here, the radio would play this song so many times a day I'm just now able to enjoy it again.

[@carollaver3192]

Goosebumps everytime man..

[@dustergang111]

Stairway to Heaven is the greatest song ever written.

[@chadmolenaar1]

The greatest song ever. And I’m a huge Pearl Jam supporter, but the way the song builds from ‘chill’ to massive rock is outstanding. I loved your reaction to each part though! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@JacksonWikle]

I love PJ too! Jeremy is my absolute favorite song of all time.

[@MindyKuhn-ud3xq]

You should watch the Kennedy Honors Led Zeppelin. Heart does the cover of Stairway with the guys in the balcony watching. John Bonham's son Jason is on drums honoring his late dad. It was so cool !

[@markfll]

That was absolutely amazing. I was 13 when the original was released.

[@Legalissue]

He is considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. The guitarist and singer as well

[@terihiggins263]

Best Drumer in the world!!❤ love led zep!!🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸

[@coffeetime1707]

You can always tell when someone has a love of music. Because they truly enjoy every single note. Love his reaction.

[@jodihart7813]

Saw Led Zeppelin in Atlanta Georgia 1973 perform this, I'll never forget the experience.

[@Merciless_Banana]

I doubt we will ever have another song like this. This is one of the greatests of all times.

[@Novelist1958]

Give 10 Years Gone, from Physical Graffiti, a listen. Not quite as mind-blowing but definitely right up there.

[@masudashizue777]

Although I recognized that this song was something extraordinary 50 years ago, I now feel that this is perhaps one of the top 3 songs in rock history.

[@tylerarnold943]

Yes

[@rodolfito5555]

How it is possible to be over 25 and never hear this song before? This ist not a song, this is an Hymn, not comparable to anything other song

[@rickyfrost3372]

Ha ha, I said the same thing but love his reaction so much I dont care!

[@jeannemara1600]

I'm going to have to dig out my Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven album now.

Oh no! He cracked the code now! He will forever be lost loving Led Zeppelin more and more every day.

[@Novelist1958]

Wait till he hears "Ramble On" for the first time. He'll crap his headset.

[@Prone2Thrill]

As much as this song has been played in my lifetime of classic rock it still gives me chills when I see somebody else feel it for the first time. It's another epic song of my lifetime. Led Zeppelin was too damn good - and John Bonham was a bad bad man on drums! RIP

[@elizabthharris6741]

Agreed. Goosebumps again. Lol

[@danielnusser8604]

Ive watched a few videos from this guy. If he is not hearing it for the first time, he is definitely reacting - sincerely and he's hearing it again and again its moving him. Look at his face- his head movements are in sync with mine. I feel he is an interesting reactionist.

[@Novelist1958]

Totally agree. Love this guy's reactions. Just like mine, still, and I heard all this when it was new.

[@paxonearth]

And the dudes in Zeppelin were in their 20's when they created all this amazing music.

[@raycampbell162]

This is the best reaction to this song ever.

[@williamschaeffer409]

Yep that just happened to ya. I believe it is safe to say, possibly best rock song

[@domenicgalata1470]

The live version from their concert film The Song Remains The Same will blow the lid off. You get to see them in their prime just killing it on stage. The entire show is outstanding, filmed at Madison Square Gardens 1973. 🔥🔥🔥

[@rogerkeiter4948]

Great reaction. John "Bonzo" Bonham on drums. R.I.P. John.. Please react to Led Zeppelin "Kasmir" Live, either the reunion concert 2007 at the O2 with Son of John Bonham playing or the 1979 version with the great John Bonham at the Knbworth concert, or both. they will blow you away!!

[@MrHavoc1001]

I am so glad you liked that song. One of the greatest songs ever created.

Didn't really appreciate this masterpiece until I got older!!🙌👍

[@MortgageGirl7]

Hands down! Best reaction video to stairway to heaven!!!

[@jeremyparr-zy9xx]

When the song hits on the guitar and drums rolling I loved how you almost said wtf .... Fitting. All genres of music have that type of anticipation and build up in certain socks. 👍👍

[@BohemianBerkeley]

I can't listen to this song very often cuz it affects me so deeply and profoundly. Its timeless, eternal. Makes me cry usually

[@richsouthall1937]

The gentle progression and arrangement of this song is nothing short of genius; from the slow, gentle, folk opening and then to the up-tempo jazzy middle sections; to the stupendous wailing and crying of Page's guitar solo and then thunderous climax at the end. Sheer greatness!!

[@rudiwot9687]

You feel it bro❤❤❤❤

Hey!! Nathan Brown. Thank you for keeping good music alive and it’s nice to see people crossover genres I’m the same way I will listen to country rock classic rock, hip hop R and B hell like couple blue grass songs if it come from the heart then it’s a good song . You can always tell when it got heart.

[@Novelist1958]

Now go back and listen to Motown tunes from the 60s (Temptations, Spinners, et al). That'll totally dust off your lid. Back then, all we had was AM radio, Motown, Soul and The Beatles. At 5 I knew the lyrics to every Beatles song on the radio, I loved 'em so much. Still love good, honest R&B, Soul, etc.

[@varun8762]

6:07 the stairway has finished and u have finally reached heaven
