The Story of Led Zeppelin's Explosive Debut
Good analysis.
John Lennon does this really well on other songs too
Hendrix, small detail?
I love when people use drugs and "acting" as a way to justify their literal n4z1st ideals.
Is there a fly here?
Jazz sounds like 5 people playing different songs at the same time
“I don’t know if you’re as good as I think you are, but I’ll see you tomorrow.” 😂😂😂 I can hear Ozzy saying that in his thick accent. 🍻
Is this from one of your videos? I'd like to see the full might of it
“ITS YOUR COUSIN MARVIN BERRY!!!”
He was A REAL MATHA FOR YA! RIP JGW. Much love for one of the greats.
Roxy and elsewhere is a siiiiiiick album Changed my understanding of musical entertainment
Ozzy was no longer welcome at Capital records. He snuck in when the bosses were having a meeting barged into the office and tossed a recording of crazy train on the table just before security grabbed him and escorted him out of the building. Just before they were to throw him on the sidewalk. They got call from the people in the office. And the rest is, well you know. Being a super ZEP fan. Ozzy with Randy allways shares time on my speakers. I don't know what day was my worst day. The day we lost Bonzo or the day we lost Randy.
Who cares? All these bands still rock.
Mahagonny not mahogany
Makes me so sad…. Cause corporatisation is going to win
No buckethead? 🪣 🗣️ For shame.
Randy not liking sabbath is wild just wouldn’t have expected it
I don't care what you call it. It saved us from Disco and other horrible things that the 70s attacked us with
where tf is when the levee breaks
For a long time, thought Mr. Tambourine Man was just a bunch of fun fantasy lines. Singing it last night, I suddenly got it. I now know what the song is about and there isn’t an unmeaningful line.
Sounds good ngl
Jack Gee and Richard Morgan husbands, yet narrator opens by saying “qu33r black”… interesting.
An enormous blanket statement if I do say so myself. Just how obscure are you willing to go with this diorama? This subject is ancient news.
The ending of MMLP “criminal” is just perfect. It summarises the whole albums sound and content, and it also happens to be a banger
Dude, how could you not mention better off dead by bill withers? I'll never forget the first time I heard that. Indescribable experience
I love this band. I still play Ms. It’s so beautiful.
Fallout: New Vegas, Johnny Guitar?
I think my favorite to listen is I got the... by Labi Siffre. The most touching or that resonate the most with me is kinda hard to determine, but America by Simon & Garfunkel always strike a chord, as does I wish i knew how it would feel to be free by Nina Simone and Otis Redding's Sitting on the dock of the bay. I'm from Brazil though, and there are definitely national songs that rival those for me, but I chose to focus on english speaking songs here.
Better name? Yes. New wave.
Not that it justifies their actions but with the exception of Paige, these guys had never toured or been out the UK and we’re barely out of their teens the first time they came to the US. Plant and Bonham were reportedly scared shitless on their first tour.
what a lovely video!
You miss the fact that The Rising Sun is a physical location in East Anglia, it's a pub on the most Eastern shore of England just outside Lowestoft. It was actually still open until 1970. The English folk songs that mention "The Rising Sun" are often from around East Anglia, which has a rich folk music tradition.
Randy is better than ozzy
When he was 15 Satriani heard a record where a guitarist was doing what he was trying to do at the time - a smooth legato technique. In a recent interview Satriani said: At that time I thought I need just some efforts and discipline to master the approach. Now I'm 60 and I understand I'm not even close to it. The record was a New Tony Williams Lifetime album. The guitarist was Allan Holdsworth, who is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest by Satriani himself and the guys like Steve Vai, Yngwiee Malmsteen, Ritchie Kotzen, Greg Howe, Eddie Van Halen, Ron Jarzombeck, Rick Beato and you name it. And yes - by Frank Zappa too)).
I like how Synthwave subgenres are all named by the vibes each of them has.
My favorite album of any genre of all time. It never fails to bring back for me the intellectual/emotional introspective atmosphere that made that era special, not just in jazz, but is attitudes toward life.
Ronnie James Dio started metal with BS.
16 in 1976 my first paycheck I bought steelys the royal scam, I knew every note from playing it 100's of times and laying down in front of the speakers, I wore it out.
I saw an interview with Carol Kaye where she said that Brian Wilson had come up with the bass line for Good Vibrations, she just played it. Carol is currently 89 years old. 😎
So sad we lost Rhoads so soon... those first two Ozzy albums are just over the top with that mesmerizing guitar work....to this day... and I remember a friend letting me listen to them in 1982....
Jeff Buckley's 2nd studio album name "My Sweet Heart the Drunk" reference the song.
Wow, you did a beautiful job on this vid. Perfect script, perfect audio, perfect editing, perfect art, Wow.
He certainly wouldn't be happy with this whole analysis then🤪
guess gen z is not the only one getting triggered easily
Yeah, they've been tolling the death of desktop PCs for a long time too. Genres aren't going away. Humans will always want and need ways to categorize things.
There was an understanding there. A kinship in ways. Not in playing styles but in how to express themselves. One could even say “huh, this sounds like music from someone who knows what it means to be all screwed up inside.”
People praise flight of the bumblebee but hate this
Randy was way ahead of his time. Imagine this, it’s 1976, you walk into a club and hear a guitarist playing the solo Randy did on Tribute. Note for note, because Randy was doing that same guitar solo at Quiet Riot gigs. Randy change rock guitar forever. He used the modes and exotic scales that were rarely used in rock music to that point. He broke rock guitarist out of the pentatonic box and into the modern age.
Nah, Louis Moreau Gottschalk was a pop star decades before Joplin.
Thank God you didn't play it!
