@@tw_bomb5517 I feel like I enjoy Led 3, 4 and Houses of the Holy better. But its really hard to rank them, because they're all TOP NOTCH albums and each has a good number of bangers, including their first, which is pretty impressive if you ask me. Consistently great albums. 👍

[@danielday713]

In the 1970s, I was just a kid hold up in my room spinning these records from start to finish in awe of what I was hearing. Even as an awkward adolescent I knew it was great music. In my my mind's eye I'd try imagine what the guitar player must have been doing to get those sounds. Today, sitting in front of this 21st century technology, I get to see - up close - just how much work went into the composition. Thanks so much for posting this. The precision is a sight to behold. What a gift!

I saw Zeppelin last show in the USA 7/24/77 Oakland Ca. I can still see Jimmy/Bozo going at it!!! Brilliant track!!!!✌️

[@ED-gf4ff]

Watching you play “Achilles Last Stand” note for note clearly demonstrates why Jimmy was the man and till today so many guitarist look at him as one of the greatest of all time. Thanks to you and thanks to Jimmy.

[@mjmcnult]

Seriously? 30 dislikes? Whether you like Zep or not, this is the greatest cover I have ever heard for a song. And it only makes sense it would be Led Zeppelin's best song.

[@thecourierNCR]

It is their best song. Jimmy said it was his favorite song to create and to play. And he said it it was their best

[@eddievanlingen1935]

All the dislikes are the people who watch ramper room and sesame street

[@michael_caz_nyc]

This was absolutely. Phenomenal. My all time Favorite Led Zeppelin Song (and Jimmy Page's too). Your phrasing and note bends were spot-on. You even played the Double & Triple Tracked harmony Guitar parts. One of the best things I have ever watched on You Tube. Very Impressive !!!

[@lau.ra_]

Before watching this, I was like "come ooooonnn nobody can do Achilles like Jimmy !"... And... That was... perfect, magical, mystical, wonderful, incredible and I don't have enough words to express what I really feel while watching your cover. Thank you for this amazing cover of Achilles, my favourite song of all times !

[@thedave5748]

If Jimmy ever needed to relearn it - This would be his reference.

[@Brian20171]

I hate to say it, but...he needs to relearn almost everything...

[@emotionallyattachedtomusic1549]

John Evans he’s 74 years old, sadly I also think he does need to relearn most of his stuff. stairway in 2007 was not the best...for all we know he doesn’t have too much time left with us. Years and years are passing bye and it’s sad to seem him age.

[@emotionallyattachedtomusic1549]

Spiral Architect shut the fuck up. what kind of psychopath do you think I am to think I am god? fuck you! all I was saying is that since he’s 75 already then it’s probably most likely his minds not going to work as it used to therefore he will probably forget some of his songs and not play as good as he once did.

[@marcussoleil3733]

Glimour's old and his second solo of comfortably numb at Pompeii was the most beautiful thing I've heard in 10's.

[@Axesmellsgr8]

I assume you're joking, this player has terrible rhythm...plzzzz, someone get a metronome!!

[@UncleChillGuitar]

HEAVY and without a power chord or un-ending distortion to be seen. Page was a genius at all aspects of music, using melody, harmony and rhythm.

[@lhasalover5825]

I've known Jimmy was a genius all my life, but actually seeing what he put into his songs is just amazing! I didn't think it was possible, but I'm going to have to move Page up to yet even another higher level, talk about genius. and you did nail it my man. Great work, great work.

[@ShadowD2C]

Jimmy songwriting skills are amazing

[@bcpme8637]

Presence in general is an extremely underrated album. Great rendition of an epic arrangement!

[@RobertoGaspar69]

There's no other guy in this world who made such a vibrant, honest and pure tribute to this amazing song as Jun did. It's by far the most closest as you can get of the original by Page. l believe if Page himself stumble upon this video he'll cry a tear of joy. As l just did,

[@burrelsk]

Can’t underestimate the drummer RIP adding another great dimension to this performance.

[@towardsthelight220]

His songs never sounded the same. Lots of chords variations and his solos were all unique and fit the song perfectly. He had an intuitive genius for composition.

[@mccloysong]

Flawless. Tone, note, feel. Like I'm listening to the LP I bought when it came out.

[@alanjamesh.zamorano1677]

Scott Waszak I imagine the same thing when I listen to Tea For One. It sounds as if Page is in pain, his guitar playing becomes an extension of himself and it mirrors his soul.

To me Jimmy Page is absolutely unique in the way he has written songs including the melodie/solo parts. This, Jun626, is one of the greatest tributes I´ve ever listened to (same as your Heartbreaker solo). Keep it up and upload more of your material! R.I.P. Bonzo

[@bloopereel33]

A proclamation to rock and roll. An epic solo is an understatement. It describes a battle between man and himself, with mere string plucking.

It really is frustrating that this level of talent is completely absent from today's music. That was near-perfect! Wicked Tele, and is that an Epi at the beginning? Oh, and LOL, I agree with Diogo, THAT'S the reason his face is hidden! xD

[@sibsbubbles]

Yeah man I hear ya. Sucks to see what garners the most watched on the 'tube. Oh well. Least this dude rocks it. I dig the tele as well. It's rare I encounter one that's a sunburst like this dude's. Most I see are solid color paint variations.

[@KrizenMedina]

You know, when I think about it, I only know one person IRL that has a sunburst Tele. Any others I've seen have been solid colour variations, just like you said. Odd. Speaking of which, my uncle is interested in grabbing a sunburst Tele for around $1000-ish this summer, as long as the quality isn't complete garbage, of course. But yeah, it's a little depressing when you look at the top viewed music videos, I'm right there with you. Thank god for people like this guy. :D

[@sibsbubbles]

Yeah funny how the tele just kind of skips the whole sunburst thing. On note of talent... dude a while back I found some killer fingerstyle ragtime. Check out Richard Smith- The Cascades, Scott Joplin. The guy crushes it. Piano was my foremost instrument (and still is). The song was murder on that instrument- kills my wrists pretty fast at full speed. Making it work on 6 strings is just ape to me.

[@sakshattiwari6831]

People can shred and sweep but they can't get the tone, emotional, the bend and the vibrato. This has it all. True musician!

[@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61]

There are some rock bands that are decent out there today . Rival sons Royal blood, the struts , the warning, the trio of sisters from Monterrey. Motion Device from Canada. Sounds blasphemous but even Greta van fleet ye they sound like Zeppelin but im still a fan.

[@camrontordiff501]

this is a flawlesss cover ,complete with the "laboured" guitar solo. This song is about the Seige of Masadars in 70 AD in Isrealv. The Guitar solo represents the building(and rebuilding) ofthe seige ramp by the Jewish captives and the "battereing " drums represent the ballista stones hitting the malls of the pallace. The vocals repersent the narrative of events inside the pallace.

[@raxxtango]

Blown away. Realizing the effort and skill it took to learn each of these parts and then play flawlessly...is amazing.

It was an April morning when they told us we should go And as I turned to you, you smiled at me How could we say no? With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had Whoa, the songs to sing when we at last return again Sending off a glancing kiss to those who claim they know Below the streets that steam and hiss The devil is in his hole Oh to sail away to sandy lands and other days Oh to touch the dream, hides inside and never seen Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown The shackles of commitments fell in pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind, to tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud, dancing as we fought the crowd To seek the man whose pointing hand The giant step unfolds To guide us from the curving path That turns our feet to stone If one bell should ring in celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat as proud the head with heavy feet Days went by when you and I bathed in eternal summer's glow As far away and distant our mutual child did grow Oh the sweet refrain soothes the soul and calms the pain Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again Wondering and wandering What place to rest the search The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth From the earth I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way Oh the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth
