First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love REACTION! | Rere Reacts

[@Antiquitycar]

There are two types of people in the world, those who love Led Zeppelin and those who haven't yet heard them.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

And once they have heard them they go down rabbit holes and find themselves hooked.

[@jakeenan]

Talk about packing a punch. Good Lord. That song is over 50 yrs old. And it still cannot be denied. These guys were not playing around. Incredible.

[@Roddeau1]

This song is from 1969. They are a rock/blues band but they cover many, many styles. You'll find every song has a unique sound/style. A very deep rabbit hole if you want an amazing journey. Love your reactions!

[@bishlap]

and MUSIC changed forever after This album.....

[@vicprovost2561]

Led Zeppelin 2 is my favorite album by them, it had far more impact than 4 or 6 because when it came out, it changed music. No one has produced a better sounding hard rock album.

[@wilcross50]

The lyrics are from before that tho

[@giffysstiffy887]

The original version SUCKED

[@vicprovost2561]

@@giffysstiffy887 Which version? They changed that song fundamentally and made it their own. It was a game changer when I was a teenager, to say otherwise is just ignorant.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

This is the song that ended the 1960s and dragged rock music kicking and screaming into the 1970s. Zeppelin were the biggest band in the 1970s. Robert Plant, the singer, was just 20 when he sang this. From the West Midlands. West Bromwich. Top of the Pops took this as their theme tune for many years.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

this is from 1969 ! I was 9 yrs old - still blows my mind that this is over 50 yrs old

[@dalesouders4136]

Ditto 64 years old and this still sounds so badass!

[@NBKenC]

I was 12, and upon hearing it on the radio got my hands on the 45 ASAP! And so my Zep journey began. I'll be 68 next week, and still rocking!!

[@chrisholland6052]

Yes, this is rock. In fact, Whole Lotta Love is the standard which all other rock songs are measured.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

Back in the day having music go from ear to ear and flipping back and forth was big. Led Zeppelin is the most diverse and innovative band ever. They were the first with everything. Bands that came after them were imitators. They were so revolutionary in their music and changed the way music was done and listened to. They are, to this day, giants. Robert Plant, vocals, Jimmy Page, the founder, leader and lead guitar, John Paul Jones, keyboards, bass and other strings, John Bonham drums. They are a force and their music stand the genres.

[@jamescrane2156]

This is blues based hard rock with a psychedelic element, but they also do folk rock and other genres.

[@alan73795]

Not only is this rock (by category) ...this IS rock (as in, this song encapsulates the pure essence of rock.) Led Zep was, and always will be, the pinnacle of hard rock. I was lucky enought to see them in concert back in the 1970's, as well as a couple of later Page/Plant tours, and all of them pure fire. If this is your first taste of Zeppelin, you have much to discover young one. Singer Robert Plant, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham and guitar wizard Jimmy Page. When gods walked the earth...

[@stuBdoc]

That middle section is for the benefit of those doing hallucinogens. This was released in 1969, so that was a huge audience. Jimmy Page was famous for using a bow to play his guitar, or dragging the pick along one of the wound strings to get various sound effects.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Jimmy Page was using a violin bow across the strings of his electric guitar for that part you are talking about, and yeah it's really cool how they pan it from one side to the other like something speeding by. Amidst all the other chaos and oh my God I love John Bonham's drumming so much. But then again jpj is masterful bass player and creates wonderful Ambiance on the keys. They were all so talented.❤

[@michaelfoster5577]

It was a cello bow - he tried a violin bow but it was too fragile and broke when used!

[@kickycan]

Is this rock? This is the epitome of rock. These are the icons of rock. Zeppelin is the rockiest of rock. In the dictionary next to “rock” is a picture of this band. All rock music that came after this was in some way influenced by this rock band. Yeah, this is rock.

Robert Plant. A blond god is still walking amongst us. xxx. Thanks for your reaction; bless you. Welcome to the 60/70s when rock and roll was, well, rockin.

[@djrxmx]

Let it sink in for moment that this track was recorded in 1969. I remember hearing this song at the age of seven years old. I was truly blown away and a baby Led Zeppelin addict anew. Jimmy Page was a legendary producer and guitar player, and John Bonham was, and is still seen as, the greatest rock drummer in the craft.

[@johnkonertz8042]

Not to mention their secret weapon in J9hn Paul Jones, with his arrangements

[@satched]

It's good to see young people listen to led zep. Put led Zeppelin on, lie down on your bed close your eyes and let their music take you on a journey. You'll never find a band with the same groove led zeppelin had.

[@grantdixon230]

Every member was a true musician each at the top of their trade. True artists. This genre is heavy rock.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for the Led Zeppelin and the greatest band ever My favorite band since 1969❤

[@jamescrane2156]

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973) (Official Video)

[@tonydagostino6158]

The album version has long wandering solos (mandatory for at least one song/album in that era) that were cut from the AM radio version

[@davidmerritt2837]

If any of you have ever been lucky enough to see them li've, it was an event every concert was an event and even in death. You'll remember where you were when you saw. It was just an unbelievable experience. I grew up with them. That I'll tell you how old I am. Hope you go down the rabbit hole.There's nothing like the journey

[@cspringer333]

Glad you found Zeppelin

[@RadioJammor]

That legendary guitar riff was essentially the Top of the Pops theme for much of the 70s, but from a cover version of this track. If you dig out some old TOTP clips from about '72 onwards, you may well hear it. As for Led Zep, aside from Stairway to Heaven, you may want to listen to Kashmir.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Rere! Lots of people say that Led Zeppelin is the greatest Rock band ever. I can't argue that they're wrong! If you go deeper into their catalog you'll find that every song sounds different, but as soon as you hear it, you'll know it's Zeppelin.

[@paulbunch7772]

Led Zeppelin is Rock, but it's more than just amazing music, it's a mood, it's a point of view. These guys are seriously crazy musicians. Perhaps the greatest Rock band ever. These guys set the standard for some of the greatest rock music of the 60's and 70's They are gods. LOL.

[@robertmysliwski7881]

I am 70 years old and have seen Zep twice in concert and I can still listen to most their songs another thousand times!

I love your open listening to all sorts of music. Don't worry about genres - its not really important. Thanks for posting this great track.

[@jeffstevens4262]

At the time, the undisputed greatest hard rock band on earth. Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page Lead Guitar, John Paul Jones on bass guitar and tha late great John Bonham on drums. I was fortunate enough to see them play live on a number of occasions back then (and once, I sat only eight rows from the front, and was deaf for a week afterwards)! Great memories. 🙋‍♂

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 1969 was an amazing year for music ! One of the Best experiences that year was Woodstock the festival ! I'll give you three great examples ! "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, "With a little help from my friends" by Joe Cocker and "Soul Sacrifice" by Santana, all live performances, on video, from the Woodstock concert ! 🇨🇦

[@michaelfoster5577]

Not forgetting “I’m Goin’ Home” by Ten Years After!

You're starting from the beginning with these guys. That's good. there's a whole lot more and you can watch them grow musically. This was "Hard ROCK"

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

I saw them playing at their first ever gig outside London at the Bath Blues Festival in 1969. They weren't the main act, and not many people had heard of them (including me), but they brough tthe whole audience to its feet. They were just astonishing. The rest is history.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

I've heard that. When they first came around they were not top billing but, by the time the concerts or fests were done they were the ones everyone was talking about. Look up about them playing the Boston Tea Party in 1969 on their first American tour. It was wild.

[@SamTy79]

Imaging been nineteen years old, been in your friends house in a cold day. Drinking some beers and smoking some of us underage and mainly talking lots of bs. All of my friends and I with super long hair, tight bells bottom pants and big belts buckles. Than the radio announcers said. Now the new Led Zeppelin song. Whole Lotta of Lv. Our heads just exploded. A good love and a good song always will stay with you forever.

[@AKR8810]

So far you've done a video and a studio recording of Led Zeppelin songs. What's missing is a live performance, and they are amazing live. I would recommend Kashmir Live at Knebworth 1979 official video and Stairway To Heaven Live at MSG 1973. It is different that the studio recording and worth hearing.

[@vincentvancraig]

[@grumpyoldman8524]

To answer some of your questions: this is a love/sex song, the middle section with his uh, uh, uh - use your own imagination there. Also in that section Page plays a theremin for those ethereal whistling sounds. To blow your mind even more and to see how it is done, watch the live version in the video `The Song Remains The Same' 1973.

A great live performance to checkout is, live at Madison Square Gardens (1973), Since I’ve Been Loving You. A beautiful Blues Rock song. You could pick anything really, & it’s amazing, this band is 4 geniuses together in the greatest band EVER. Thank you for your reaction, hope you checkout much more Led Zeppelin.

My very first car, I paid $1295 for the car and installed a $900 stereo. And this was late 70's, so it was something special (the stereo, the car not so much). The part you're talking about used to go from one front speaker to the other and then to the back and across and around again. So it circled around the car in a anti-clockwise direction. It was wild.

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

This takes me back to my youth in the metal pub hanging out with all the metallers and bikers this playing on the jukebox while playing pool...love the guitar solo in this..

The “car” sound is produced by dragging a guitar pick down the strings. Then the recording engineer moves from one side to the other using the recoding console.

Back then, the start of the 1979s, stereo was slowly starting to be used. Then, everything was mono - records, radio TV there was no stereo - for the first time with headphones you could here the location of each instrument in your head. See how new technologies were used and investigated was the sound engineers and the band members. In 1975, I actually built my own stereo amplifier because then, to buy a commercial amp was way beyond my pocket.

[@2NatoStandard]

Written by Willie Dixon and released in 1962 by Muddy Waters. Covered by The small faces in 1963/4 ( This is where Led Zeppelin got the sound from) Also covered by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in 1967/68 Covered by Savoy Brown too. Then Finally Led Zeppelin got hold of it in 69 and passed it off as their own creation. I urge anybody to listen to all versions, particularly The Small faces, its uncanny

[@joenewman6494]

Excellent reaction one of the best rock bands in the world later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸

[@VinE83656]

This song is actually 1969 but in general Led Zeppelin was mostly a 1970s band but their first two albums were in the late 60s. Led Zeppelin is rock, but they are diverse and sometimes their music is hard rock and sometimes blues rock and sometimes folk rock. Funk and even Reggae are not out of the question for them.

[@allendesalme197]

This is progressive rock - you can tell partly by the changes in the song - Led Zep, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Rush, Jethro Tull are all prog rock bands

[@vicprovost2561]

No better rock band than Led Zeppelin, this is one of their most powerful and most popular songs. It shot up the charts immediately on release, this song changed the way many listened to and played music. Simply the best, with a catalog full of bangers and every song is different. Next, do the live video of Since I've Been Loving you from their live concert movie, the Song Remains the Same. It will blow your mind! This rabbit hole goes to the center of the universe, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥 P.S. To get your rock journey going at the highest level, these bands deserve your time to augment your musical education: The Beatles (best band ever, everything starts with them) The Rolling Stones (the headed the British invasion along with the Beatles) Jimi Hendrix (best and most influential guitar player ever, all the greats point to him as #1). Led Zeppelin (best band for many, apex of hard rock). Pink Floyd (best prog/psychedelic/space band ever, best album ever by anyone in Dark Side of the Moon). The WHO (Also great hard rock and amazing concept albums). Black Sabbath (1st and still best Heavy Metal Band ever, where Ozzy Osbourne came from, Tony Iommi is the God of riffs). Deep Purple (Great lead vocals, guitar and organ, ikonic albums). Queen (Unique Rock style with Freddy Mercury on amazing vocals and Brian May on unique, self made, killer guitar). Rush (Canadian 3 piece that sounds huge, a mix of prog and hard rock, great songwriting and unique vocals). There are many more but for me, the above are the cream of the crop. You as a musician will by awed by all their greatness, the bands of that era just were more talented, many modern reactors are shocked by how goid this stuff was and wonder e pop what the hell happened to music in this century. Enjoy!!!

[@brucearcher9437]

You forgot Cream..Blind Faith and Traffic..

[@Alan_CFA]

Yeah, it’s rock. From 1969! The slower psychedelic section is an acoustic representation of an orgasm, hence the rapid breathing. I received the album in December as a Christmas present, just a couple of months before I turned 16. It was great growing up with this music!😁😁😁

[@RussFinnessy-Cook]

A really cool element of Zeps’ repertoire is the medevil touches in a lot of their stuff. Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song and even Kashmir use this. Immigrant Song is actually about the Vikings pretty much conquering England !

"You Need Love" is a song with lyrics written by American blues musician Willie Dixon. The instrumentation was recorded first by slide guitarist Earl Hooker and backing musicians, then Chicago blues artist Muddy Waters overdubbed vocals, and Chess Records released it as a single in 1962. Jimmy Page took this and basically had the band to amp up the sound with psychedelia additions and studio tape effects for the trippy mid section...

[@anthonyattard6726]

when you slide the guitar pick sideways over the strings gives you that car effect.

The uniqueness of British blues-based rock music is the drums. They’re war drums. Think Germanic berserkers on the way to conquer another tribe. Bonham took this to another level. Zeppelin mixed sex and violence not through their lyrics but in the music itself.
