🎵 LED ZEPPELIN - Good Times Bad Times REACTION

[@RSpracticalshooting]

This was the first song on their first album. What a fuckin way to show everybody who they were.

[@cjonesufc]

Right out of the gate.

[@473mec]

The next song is great too. And so is the next, and the next...

[@supertrexandroidx]

Unfortunately, these two are maybe too young to really appreciate them. Don't seem to be very big on The Doors, either, on the whole. A lot of the 60's and 70's stuff is maybe going back just a little too far for most people in their age group. Which is sad, because it makes me wonder who will be left to appreciate great bands like this once we die off.

The drums in this song is a lot of the reason why I started playing drums as a kid. I was absolutely mesmerized by it. If you go back and focus on just the bass and drums, it's insanely good.

Bonzo's drums are heavily layered and done with such skill it both leads the song and hangs back with a hypnotic vibe.

Fun fact. Reading "led zeppelin on led zeppelin" bonzo, in 1970, said he'd only been playing drums for 6 years. Meaning he joined Led Zeppelin with only 4 years of drumming in late 1968. This blew me away.

[@GTLyons]

This was the very first Led Zep song we ever heard. My big brother brought their first album home and put it in the record player, and this came on. The rest is history!

Saw Billy Joel in concert one time in the 90's, and at one point in between songs, he picked up a guitar and he and his band broke out into THIS song, and the crowd went NUTS! They only did about half of it, but they did a fantastic job! He's a Zeppelin fan.

[@kdpflush]

I saw Vince Neil from Motley Crue at a "Rock The Park" concert, and after 1 or 2 songs he noticed a cute girl in the crowd, pulled her up onstage, and they disappeared backstage for the rest of his set. The crowd didn't care because his band just played LZ the whole time he was gone. This was a concert for fans of classic rock, so hey ho. Also we all saw what he did so it was sort of amusing and appropriate for him.

[@geneticrex]

There is a young lady from Japan named, Yoyoka. When she was EIGHT years old, she covered this track. There is a video on KZbin of Robert Plant himself watching her do it. It is remarkable. She even nails the kick pattern, which is no joke for any drummer. When you get a minute, you should give it a look.

You're right, Lex. A timeless piece. This is the song, the opening track on Zep's debut LP, that announced to the universe that they were here, and here to stay. A completely different and uniquely relevant sound. They had arrived. I was too young to really experience the moment, but I remember hearing Nirvana's Nevermind for the first time and I would imagine that it had to be something like that, but exponentially so.

[@Pablopax4]

Back in the day when the albums were mastered for vinyl records, the longer the length of the album affected the width of the grooves in the record cutting process, resulting in lower quality playback, so fade outs were common so as to not effect the sound overall. That's why 12" singles sound better than 7", the grooves contain more information. That's why it faded too soon, to keep the overall quality of the album decent..

Summer of 1990. I was almost 17, approaching the start of my senior year of high school. Family trip around the country, I was riding backwards in the back of the station wagon listening to LZ1 on repeat on cassette. Ended up needing another cassette because I wore the first one out. LZ1 is still to this day my favorite LZ album. I was a semi-professional musician at the time and I could not get over the realization that THIS song is the very first song on their very first album. The sheer GENIUS of this song being the first sound still blows my mind. Similar feeling with the first song on the B-side, Your Time Is Gonna Come. LZ1 is the closest thing to a religious experience that I've ever had.

This was the first single from their first album. The bass and drums are insane. And add Plant and Page...wow.

[@MarkCologne]

The first song on Led Zeppelin's debut album, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page are the credited songwriters on this track. Page explained how it came together in his 2012 Rolling Stone interview: "John Paul Jones came up with the riff. I had the chorus. John Bonham applied the bass-drum pattern. That one really shaped our writing process. It was like, 'Wow, everybody's erupting at once.'" The lyric is a little disjointed, but the song rocks so hard, most listeners don't notice. Robert Plant sings about coming of age, falling in love at 16 and losing his woman to a brown-eyed man (possibly inspired by Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man." The end of the song finds him proclaiming his love for his woman back home, telling her they will never part.

[@jamesskyles896]

Imagine you’re a teenager in March of 1969. New music is everywhere so you decide to go to the record store and see what they have. You see an album with a big picture of the Hindenburg disaster with the words “Led Zeppelin”. The album cover looks cool so you decide to purchase it. When you get home you put the record on, and the first thing you hear is John Bonham having a rhythmic field day on the drums. That was the introduction to Led Zeppelin for untold thousands of fans.

Lex is spot on. VERY early Zepplin. I saw then perform this song in May of 1969. They were opening for the Who at Meriweather Post Pavilion just outside of D.C. Their first U.S. tour promoting their first album simply called Led Zeppelin. They were so good we kept them onstage and they started playing Whole Lotta Love and a few more off the second album they were working on at the time. They played so long that the Who's manager pulled the plug on them. We just thought the power had gone out. There were some boos from the crowd when the lights came back on and the Who was onstage. Never again would they share a stage,

The members of Zeppelin were already very experienced in the music industry when their first album was recorded.
