Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop (REACTION)

[@ttrob93]

Led Zeppelin opened the door when they started, then slammed it closed when they left.

[@145Slap789]

Love that!

[@richardfilanderer]

Very fun(ny) fact: in the early 2000s a British rock station did a poll open to the public in order to determine who the greatest drummer, greatest guitarist, greatest bassist, and greatest singer was/is. Every single member of Led Zeppelin was voted #1 lmao.

Robert Plant was the best rock and roll lead singer ever. He had the range, the rasp, the grit, the howls. He never missed. He is rock and roll personified. And this is my fave channel to watch. So much respect for each other and the music.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@workingman6681]

FYI (For your information) Led Zeppelin were huge Lord of the Rings fans, Misty Mountains!!!

[@markharbin9945]

Bonzo killing killing it😮

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This song is about a legalize pot rally that was held in Hyde Park, London. The title is a reference to the Misty Mountains in Tolkien's work. The musical construction happened while they were jamming and Jimmy found he had the opening to what would become this song; Jonesy helped work up the chords and chorus and they were off!

[@ronnygibbon]

That's funny, I've never looked at what the lyrics mean. I thought it was about being rounded up and drafted for the Vietnam War. "so I'm packing my bags for the misty mountains".😆

[@johnfrank3177]

Hey fellas. The mighty Zep. You can't put them in any box. They play Led Zeppelin music. Thanks for reacting to this one. Peace.

[@anitapaulus937]

I really love this song and always have. I don’t know why it stands out to me. Maybe the story about the hippies in the park, that’s what I remember of the late 60’s and early ‘70’s. We used to pick up hitchhikers, no problem, and we all share our pot, and actually shared time sitting around listening to music or out in the open at concerts.

[@Brian-tb1zs]

You guys are great, I’ll say it again, genius to go through Zeppelin in order, when you’re done you’ll consider saying they are the greatest of all time, just wait, you’ll see

[@mikehutton3187]

I love that Bonzo is just smashin’ the drums. One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. “Fool in the Rain”, is another great song.

[@samjaxwhistler]

Have you heard Four Sticks from this album?

[@m_v__m_v]

Fool in the Rain is my all time favorite LZ song

[@willblood7082]

Bonzo just lays down a filthy groove 🔥. It’s great watching you guys react because you guys know your shit!!

[@cazkain]

The magic of Zeppelin was all 4 members contributing their own unique skills as 1 cohesive unit. Plant's magic voice, Jimmy's amazing guitar work, JPJ on the bass and keys (not this song I know) and he did a lot of the arrangements. Last but not least Bonzo's bombastic drumming, crunching us over the head with his devastating power. Best band ever!

[@dcmanuel7232]

Zep was always my favorite band simply for the musical variety, top-tier talent level at every instrument with stellar production value. Nothing they ever did was disappointing or uninteresting in the least. It's virtually impossible for a true Zeppelin fan to pick a favorite album, much less song.

[@dcmanuel7232]

Agreed that you guy are becoming my favorite reaction channel...keep up the great work.

[@tommythompson9565]

You're right, but over the decades, II is the one that I'd put on first if given a choice, of course doing this with the understanding that I have 8 other great albums to listen to after.

[@thehouseofautumnspells258]

You aint even got to When The Levee Breaks yet....... U ready, Bonham? Show 'em whats up

[@kirk8429]

Love your commentary on my favorite record. This track, for me, showcases Bonzo. This is his masterpiece and there are many to choose from.

[@suesmith7968]

Takes me back to a time and space!!! I can smell patchouli wafting thru the air!! Thanks, Gents!! ☮️❤️

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

The word, "patchouli", is in a song lyric, and I cannot place it. A very well-known song, but not Zeppelin. Do you know what I'm thinking of??? It's driving me bananas. lol

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Just remembered it! On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat While she looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea *She comes in incense and patchouli* So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the newborn day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat Year of the cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[@christianalander9487]

Such a banger. 🤘 One of Zep's more underrated songs, IMO.

[@donaldwhite1928]

[@oldskool4612]

Imagine getting your 1st stereo at the age of 13. Then one of the 1st albums you buy is Zep 4. That was my introduction to Zep. Literally just a boy rocking my ass off. Every song was killer. Growing up in the 70's is difficult to explain. You just had to have lived it and to this day feel fortunate for that. Really enjoy your reactions and what you guys are doing.

[@TexasMagnolia]

So. Damn. Good!

[@brandonboucher7090]

[@terenzo50]

This song encapsulates a time.

[@janicez2630]

This was such the music of us growing up in the 70s. I feel lucky... good times

[@jackbassII]

There are two reasons why this is one of my all time favorite songs. 1) The groove is non stop, 2) part of the vocal is 3 against 4. Who knew a song about a drug bust could be so much fun?

[@EastCoastGal66]

I love Led Zeppelin! I’ve seen Robert Plant( lead singer) in concert 4 times. Led Zeppelin’s music interests were derived from their love of Deep South Black American Blues. They admired and listened to Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson and other artists. I love their music since the 1970’s . My favorite Led Zepp songs are, Since I’ve been loving you , When the Levy Breaks and Rain Song! I love them for life! The entire group are magnificent musicians and genius song writers!

[@mrmiscast]

You guys are SOOOOO on a roll today... Steely Dan, ZZ Top, and Zepppelin... The guy in the next office says he can hear it through the wall, even with my headphones..Thanks as always... Glad you guys enjoy it as well...

[@retromom5421]

I used to work with headphones and another woman who didn't even sit next to me would tell me to lower it, over and over. So glad I got a new job!

[@jonbauman457]

Here's what's hard for people to understand nowadays... This music was commonly available then. Almost everybody was this good, or you would never hear them! This is the measuring stick to which I've listened to music for the last 50 years.

[@turnsufficient4971]

Robert would say before the song was played live and in interviews: [It's a song about walking through the park in the days of flower power, smoking some weed (hey boy, do you wanna score ? It's about scoring on some weed), then the cops line em all up and bop em on their heads]. It's about the perils of just trying to be yourself with long hair (back in the day), hanging with friends publicly and having a good time - and the cops hassling you. The Misty Mountains are in The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings books by JRR Tolkein. "So, I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains - where the spirits soar -- over the hills, where the spirits fly..." It ends on an escapism theme. It's a great song. They played it live on their record breaking 1973 US Tour and then revived it again for both Knebworth shows in 1979, in August. There's live pro shot videos of it from 1973 and 1979.

[@nozzlevelocity]

This has got to be one of Bonzo's best drum tracks. It's so funky. Fun as hell to play too.

[@SirMan48]

Obnoxiously simple. Basically rudimentary. Takes no technical skills to play. But.... Holy crap does it just ooooze with slodgy, sluggy, chugging groove and swagger. It's so tasty that it's hard to comprehend how simple it is.

[@booifojoe]

[@integraleric]

Bonham's groove, though simple, cannot be replicated by anyone else but him.

[@nozzlevelocity]

Literally true. His left hand on the snare has an American "behind the beat" feel while the rest of his body is playing a more British "on the beat" style. Utterly unique and real bitch to replicate.

[@doriwiljt]

Soundtrack of my youth. 13, 14, 15 yo. This was our music. Makes me happy youth of today appreciate it.

[@custardflan]

Back in the '90s at a newspaper where I worked we'd interview visiting rock stars and such when they came to town and one question we'd ask was, what are you reading and why? Ace Frehley with Kiss said he was reading Lord of the Rings because he wanted to understand Led Zeppeling better.

[@tannonwraith4692]

As a musician I appreciate your comments because I know you two are musically inclined therefore I respect your opinions, interjections and conjectures more then most. I have been following you two and really enjoy all of your reactions because of the enthusiasm you both contribute and some new questions to old bands I find interesting. I have a question for both of you: As producers performers, musicians and music lovers I would like to know what you have personally taken away from your exposure to rock and roll heavy metal and other forms of music then what you prefer or have been exposed to personally or professionally?

[@AirplayBeats]

Usually when I produce music it’s just a standard 8 bar hook, 16 bar verse and it just keeps repeating with that format. After doing these reactions I’m learning I do not have to follow that structure on every track I produce. I can just let the music lead me in the right direction and make music with no boundaries. Less robotic and more feeling to the music

[@BBaldwin]

Can’t wait till you guys get to Houses of the Holy! They raise the bar EVEN HIGHER!

[@stewpot6998]

Thanks for that. Misty Mountain Hop is the first non Steely Dan song I learned to drum to. My teacher didn't know zeps music but was instantly impressed by Bonham's playing, particularly the variations on the hi-hat accents (he kept saying "oh" and "ok"). Listen again to just the drums. 🙂👍

[@charlessarver8350]

Zeppelin often mixed time signatures as well. Page would be playing in one time signature while bonham would be playing a different one and they would only match up on certain bars. This is especially evident on Kashmir and Black Dog.

[@BrettLesPaul]

What I love about this reaction channel: These dudes understand how music is made.

[@daviddragavon7555]
