Terrific video! That said…see the lyrics Hey hey mama said the way you move Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting. (Not stink)

Thank you John Paul Jones. This is the best Zeppelin riff, and that's saying a lot.

The sheer attack on Page outro solo is quite incredible. Stumbling ... Bumbling ... Tripping ... all so brilliant! The stuff Jimmy comes up with on the spot!

“Jimmy Page’s solo at the end of Black Dog is f*cking genius!” - John Paul Jones

[@Benji8461]

The riff was from JPJ.

[@markromano9756]

What made this song so unique, is that Jimmy Page, after the bridge of the song, changed the time signature and the the key note of the song, and this was not mentioned. Even worse, when Jimmy changed the Key Note of the song, he only dropped it down a 'Half-Step' in the note progression, which on paper is impossible to make it sound good! IMPOSSIBLE I DECLARE!!!! Nobody (of consequence) has ever attempted such a 'Musical Theory Violation' and made it work, as Jimmy did with other Zepp songs, such as 'Kashmir'. In the song 'Kashmir', Bonham was strictly on a 4/4 time signature while Jimmy and John Paul were on a 11/12 time signature. THE WHOLE SONG???!?!? Impossible! Yet! Jimmy & John Paul made it work! I mean, how do you fit a 5 lbs. of something into a 4.2 lbs. bag limit? In 'Black Dog', Jimmy started the song in a 4/4 time sig, and then after the bridge, he changed it into a 7/8 time signature... nobody does that... nobody did that before. "THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE! -SYNTAX ERROR -SYNTAX ERROR" but it DID work, and THIS IS WHY most bands never attempted to play 'Black Dog" live. In order to accomplish this, one must be a complete musical professional. My meaning is that just knowing Musical Theory is NOT enough, to exist within the rules of Music and change it to your will, and make it sound unique and rhythmic. Just by simply holding onto a note or break for a half-beat, or, working a note into the extremely unique timing is a super difficult feat, because the other band mates are tasked to be able to acknowledge this transition and maintain their timing, despite the timing contradicting the standard, which most are accustomed too! THIS IS WHY JIMMY PAGE is considered one of the best. Go ask Geddy Lee or Trevor Rabin if they agree. Sure we have Trevor Rabin, Joe Satriani, & Eddie Van Halen, that are all progressive GIANTS, their contribution is nothing short of magic and considered phenomenal, but... Jimmy was in the same boat, with not many seats, and Jimmy knew what people wanted to hear and that makes Jimmy Da Best! The Band's success proves my statement. Don't get me wrong, Rush & Yes were very successful & awesome, but... they didn't sell tickets like Zeppelin did, or records, and that is the proof in the puddin!

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

If any other band plays this, it's a great rock riff. When Zeppelin starts it, it explodes.

[@murilogoulart4935]

James Patrick Page + Robert Antony Plant + John Richard Baldwin + John Henry Bonham, the juggernaut of Valhalla, best band EVER. Greetings from Danmark 🤜🇩🇰🤛

[@samr.england613]

The structure of 'Black Dog' is based on Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well', that one thay says, "I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to...

[@kiddynamite3931]

They all made it work. Bonham’s playing was brilliant! He plays a 4/4 groove over a 5/4 time sig. Not a forced thing like Rush might do. Just great music

[@70snostalgia]

This was John Paul Jone's riff. Page just played it.

[@bobbyrivera1652]

One of my fav Led zepp

[@Randy-g2j]

I remember when Eddie Van Halen said Jimmy Page was a Sloppy player, well that is the difference between Eddie Van Halen he may have had his distinct and innovative way of playing guitar that’s what makes Jimmy Page a GENIUS of playing guitar and playing guitar great, he knew how to put a song together. And then with Robert Plants vocals playing off Page makes it incredible that and with Jones’s timing and Bonham THUNDEROUS drums , untouchable.🤩

[@rejdrouin]

Boulechite 🤮

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

Jones has said that "if the riff is single notes, it's probably mine. If it's chord-y, it's Page's", or something like that. I would love to have him detail which exactly were his and which were Page's.

[@randallbates9020]

So at 60 years old one of my great memories of those years was April 10th 1995 in the old Boston Garden, last show to play there before they closed the doors forever. Page/Plant played 23 songs that night, the last song of the night was Kashmere the second song of the oncor, the song before that was Black Dog. I was on the side of the stage where Page was and as long as I live I will not forget that night. What a fantastic concert and it was mostly Zeppelin Music. You can look up the play list from that night and see all they played. I still have the shirt I bought that night 29 years ago. The mighty Led Zeppelin.

I hope the video blogger realizes the main picture for this video is not Jimmy Page, but Jimmy Sakurai playing him in a tribute band.

The lyrics are: Hey hey mama said the way you move Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting. Sting not stink … LZ is sexy not an STD Fail

[@carywest9256]

I hear the lyric as "gonna make you burn,gonna make you stain". Go back and listen very carefully to the soundtrack'73 version,then the 02 Arena '07 version. I was 14 in'76 getting to see the soundtrack film on its debut weekend outside Houston,TX. And in my listening for nearly 50 years now, l hear Percy say stain, not sting. A reference to the chicks-birds in Brit slang getting "Hots On For Nowhere". Pun intended!

[@zeppelinmexicano]

The time signature changes are very tough to figure out for those of us who are not well schooled. For those who think they can figure it out, try tapping or dancing to it and see what happens. They will leave you wondering what hit you.

[@dlewtweentorla1210]

Not one time in this video does it mention that is was John Paul Jones who initially came up with the riff while warming up. Page was taken with it and developed the song, then of course Plant coma up with the lyrics. If it wasn't for Jones this song would never have been. Surprised it wasn't stated that part of this songs genius and slap your face attitude that puts this riff over the top, is Jimmy Playing Electric Guitar while Jones is doubling up and playing the same riff on BASS! Gives it such depth and attitude. It is true that to play it properly the way Page intended can be a Bit#$ to figure out. Most players learn the riff wrong from the start, then one day someone shows them or they figure out the right way, it blows ya away and keeps a smile on your face for quite some time. Not that it''s overly difficult, rather it's the way Page does it. Nice Video overall , Fantastic song!

It would be worthwhile to also note that in the O2 arena version as well as other bootlegged live performances, Page plays one of the runs off-tone. Try to analyze that one.
