I was asked to listen to Led Zeppelin - The Lemon Song | Reaction!!

[@poloreacts27]

Who do you personally consider to be the greatest band of all time?

[@psawyer5799]

Queen, of course!! "Bohemian Rhapsody"; "Who wants to live forever" "Fat Bottom Girls" "On the Radio" Really too many to name

[@oldzephead1237]

For me personally it's Led Zeppelin hands down. ☮️

[@psawyer5799]

Going back a bit further..check out Them "Gloria" or Moody Blues "Knights in White Satin"

[@MPDSR422]

So many great bands. For 1970’s Gentle Giant “Three Friends” for 1990’s and still playing Aryeon (Universe Live) Polo, once you hear this you will be hooked. Arjen Lucassen is a genius. Try the “The Day The World Breaks Down”, video on KZbin. I guarantee you will be gobsmacked!

[@scottzappa9314]

Too many great ones to have only one. Notables include Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Beatles of course, Stones, Jimi Hendrix, a few others.

[@Rock_Snob]

Just remember Polo… If there was no Zeppelin there would be no Tool, Zep is the root of all hard rock!

[@peterdahlheimer]

if you don't see the inspiration Zep provided everywhere, you've probably not done enough homework.

[@matthewmarana4573]

Tool is your favorite and Led Zeppelin is your top five... you're young. If you haven't figured it out by now, if there was no Led Zeppelin, there would be no Tool or any of the other bands that you might recognize that came out in the 80s or later. No disrespect to you, I am a fan of your channel.

[@j.d...]

Meh .. different times. Zeppelin is clearly a big influence on Tool. Obviously since Tool covered No Quarter... ​@@Patsy_Parisi

Don’t forget sabbath.

[@joescott8877]

@@shannontreiber1070 For sure! Everyone on this thread who's interested in Rock Influences will very likely find a certain reaction extremely satisfying. I'm talking about "Vin and Sori" channel hearing Sabbath's "Fairies wear boots." As the cool-ass outro fades off, Vin yells "NO!!" cos he doesn't want it to end, then he and his girl Sori freak themselves out as it dawns on them that Sabbath was likely THE influence behind their beloved Korn, Metallica, Maiden, Tool, etc, lol!

Blues education 101. This is a song taken from 1930s blues The Killin Floor. Zep integrated a lot of old blues songs into their own magic. First heard this 55 years ago, age 14. Shocked.

The critics at the time didn’t like them because they weren’t traditional. They wanted to hear standard blues and not “taking the blues, twisting it and turning on its head” like Jimmy said.

Before there was Tool there was Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is foundational to most rock sound since. Elvis Presley met them. He had an entire floor at a hotel and Zeppelin was invited to meet him there. Zeppelin’s crowds were bigger than Elvis’ crowds, at this point, but he was the King. You should see the story of when they met!

[@rosevfx]

The weird thing about LZ is that Page and Jones being studio musicians, they write their songs like kids in the candy store of all music (watch out for Page's record collection in interviews filmed at home) and STILL the result is completely unlike the parts they took and altered. It is no exaggeration to say LZ is not just a band, it's a genre of it's own. That -imho- is what makes them so special, you can hold it against any other music and it will stand out for being different. As for Plant's singing, he sings like a guitar or harmonica would solo.

[@bigdaddigaming]

My favorite lyrics in this is “squeeze me baby till the juice runs down my leg, the way you squeeze my Lemmon till I fall right out of bed”🤣 I love it, classic led zepp

Polo --- I have to laugh because you want to think you are in control of the music you BELIEVE you are going to like or not like and that just isn't the case with music that Led Zeppelin created. As Rod Serling creator of the TV show The Twilight Zone says in the intro to the show, You are no longer in control your mind is no longer yours, you've entered The Twilight Zone. I was paraphrasing, not quoting. With Led Zeppelin you are along for a ride and at first you think you don't like it, it's not fun, it's not what you want to hear, but you are already rolling down the pathway and you can't jump off and then that feeling of not liking the ride turns to wonder and then you start to enjoy the ride, you roll the window down and you are moving faster and you want your seatbelt but there is no seatbelt. You are thrilled and laughing at your excitement that you've never been in a vehicle that you are either going to crash and get hurt or you're gonna have the ride of your life if you just take it in and enjoy the ride.

Mike Teevee's mom keeps saying she's gonna get sick. Lol

[@christianmarler2253]

I like this metaphor. I agree with it. I'm also glad you let me roll down my window because I might want a cigarette. With LZ, I know the roads well enough that I don't want a seatbelt. I just bounce around.

There is no bandwagoning when it comes to being a zep fan, or enjoying them. They were, and in some ways still are, the biggest rebel indy band ever. They were huge in spite of critics and media.

JPJ makes it soo easy to focus on that bass line. He just doesn’t stop. What a romance - he buys us dinner & drinks, courts us, and proposes all in one single song. ♥️

[@luvbasses5487]

Check out the live version from Fillmore West 4-24-69. It’s actually labeled as Killing Floor. Jones’s bass playing is irreplaceable and basically impossible to replicate. He played impossible bass lines! Truly the best rock bassist - BAR NONE. The combination of deep understanding of how music works and studio etiquette made him very sought after. Jimmy picked a prodigy boy for the role as Zeppelin bassist. He walked into the studio on this day and provided a legendary electric bass solo with a very sophisticated attitude.

[@jeremymullins1294]

great comment at 5:38 The sign of a great band when you can focus in on every one of the members. Kinda like Tool! Also the "squeeze my lemon" lyric goes all the way back to 1937 in songs by Arthur McKay and Robert Johson. Robert Plant is a student of the Delta Blues!

[@stephenoneill245]

You can tell from their ease in playing it that this song is Zep's stock-in-tade type of noise. They lay it down with such confidence that you can almost physically hear that they know the blues inside out. I wouldn't be surprised if this number took them about 5 minutes to write and perhaps 2-3 takes to record. It just oozes, "this is where I'm at".
