UNEXPECTED REACTION TO LED ZEPPELIN - THE LEMON SONG

[@Jimstriker]

I've recently become obsessed with led zeppelin reaction videos. They're always surprised at how funky the tune is, shocked by the drums, hypnotised by the bass, mesmerised by the lead guitar and shocked by Robert Plants voice. Blues rock at its finest. Now you know why zeppelin fans are so confident.

[@peterbartolomeo5542]

We were lucky enough to have had them come along in our lifetimes. So INCREDIBLE. The Stones I love cant touch this

[@ryanbarker5217]

a zep fans never has to justify himself. the music is the only argument needed to win any debate.

[@richardearnshaw2719]

@Salem Although I would relegate "everyone else" to 4th after 3rd Deep Purple Of course, the Beatles were a phenemenon. My older brother had money (I smoked 😖) and everything those top 3 released he soon bought. I learned to play guitar to 300+ Lennon & McCartney songs and could make it humm but never sing - let alone sing the blues. I always pretended that Beatles were best when he put Zepplin on I was never far from his room, lol He climbed his stairway to heaven 40yrs ago 😪 and I never thought I could properly listen to them again - but now I have these reaction videos and I've bawled my tears out so it's all smiles from here. I guess I getting closer to him with the tears - I am sooo grateful 🤗🎶🤪✔

[@anonocomment]

I was just thinking that. My big brother was a bass player. Hair down to his ass, big frank zappa facial hair arrangement, played this song, this bass line over and over - their band played LZ at the local clubs. I remember this song for a bass player was like a gift. If you could really play bass. You almost never get a bass solo. I miss my brother.

[@lisafromnj2277]

I’m sorry, but as a die hard fan of Led Zeppelin since early 70s, anyone one who loves the GOAT, appreciates what each member contributed to every single song. Without JPJ’s hard core bass lines, it just wouldn’t have been as great.

[@Jimstriker]

Not by me

[@inglefud2]

This is the song that saved me from depression when I was 17 and turned me on to blues guitar. I bought my first guitar that year, learned these songs and 30 years later Im still playing and making music. The music in this still gives me chills.

[@gunkulator1]

Zeppelin is one of the few times where the reality matches the hype. They are called the greatest rock band and, yup, that's what they are. This song is a masterpiece and no doubt would be the crown jewel of any other group's album, but for Zeppelin, it's just another song on one of their albums.

[@richdiana3663]

The range of this band extended to the ends of the Universe.

[@brianbarringer4309]

Your reaction makes me smile. I get a kick out of someone appreciating this music that I used to rock out to when I was young. Makes we want to go back to it.

[@nevermind-he8ni]

John Paul Jones kills it on this track.

[@5yearsout]

Agreed, but then again he kills on most tracks.

[@sassulusmagnus]

His playing really anchors the track. Just a masterful musician.

[@nikolaimikhail7774]

He keeps up with Jimmy Page, that's a badass in my book

[@randyrodgers5056]

Jones kills it on every song they did, wouldn't you agree?

[@williamwilkes9873]

John Baldwin........how many more times?

[@mikes3827]

Hey T, great reaction about "The Lemon Song" by Zeppelin. And, yes, that bass line was/is SOOOOOOO good. That's the crazy thing about Zeppelin that I believe makes them unique vs. just about any other band: all 4 members are in the conversation of the GOAT in their respective positions. For example, Rolling Stone magazine named Robert Plant as rock's greatest front man ever. Or go to a greatest rock drummers list, and GUARANTEED Bonzo will be #1 in the majority of them. Page will almost always be in the top-5 greatest guitarists ever (though I think Hendrix is rightly the GOAT there), while John Paul Jones will EASILY be in the GOAT conversation among greatest bass players. Members of Zeppelin each said that when they first started playing together, they knew they had something special. That might be the understatement of understatements.

[@williamwilkes9873]

LZ is the most talented group. They're each the best at what they do. When page formed the band and they had their first trial run playing, it was the perfect meld. It's all history from there.

Every single song they deliver is a rare gem unique from the next. Music masters.

[@wickedmirage]

SO one day I'm talking to this fool, I mean one of my guy friends and he said he liked Zeppelin but he didn't see why as a female I would like them. He proceeded to tell me how they were a chest thumping caveman rock that degraded women. I laughed and never spoke to him again.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

Inspired by Howlin' Wolf "Killing Floor" and Albert King's "Cross-cut Saw" but references go even back to 1937 with the song "She Squeezed My Lemon" by Arthur McKay. It is said that Led Zeppelin were fiddling around in the studio and recorded this song in one take... simply amazing. Great groove by John Paul Jones on bass.

My favorite Zeppelin song ! First heard it when I was fourteen and living in Bossier City Louisiana. Love how Page's guitar echoes Plant's moans in the later part of the song. Blues influence in this song no doubt !!!

[@michaelkline6560]

Good to see new people becoming hip to the greatest band of all-time influences from everywere and combined to create greatness

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

This was Led Zeppelin‘s take on Howlin Wolf’s ‘Killing Floor’. If you listen to the original recording you will also hear how Jimmy Page paid tribute to Hubert Sumlin the guitarist of Howlin’s band. (One of his biggest influences) The main guitar part in the original version was turned into a lead motif by Jimmy. Beautifully executed in his own way I might say. So exciting to see a younger generation enjoying the great musicianship that was Led Zeppelin.

[@randyrodgers5056]

Jones and Bonham are always perfectly in sinc on every song, and I love watching the reactions of people hearing them for the first time. I've been a LED ZEPPELIN fan since 1969 and I still get the chills any time I listen to them, I always keep a few of their CD's in my ride and listen to them alot

I have always loved Zeppelin and noted that they have come in for more than their fair share of criticism for borrowing from the earlier blues artists, but from my point of view, when you listen to something like this, you should realize that they rescued those songs and those artists from obscurity. They created something over the top that was salvaged from the dust heap of history, that no other artist has even come close too after all these years. They are the best at what they do, no question about it.
