Yes, Jimmy Page. Grew up on Zeppelin music, and still Iove it. But like you, I love Soundgarden too. Chris's voice was amazing. Was heartbroken when he took his life. 😥😕
Nothing suprising about Jimmy Page liking Soundgarden... Of all the bands to come out of the "grunge scene" (if there ever really was such a thing), I think Soundgarden was the one where the influence of Led Zeppelin was the most audible, even though NOT in an obvious way like on Greta Van Fleet's 1st album... Of course Soundgarden had there own original signature and they truly deserve to be considered as originals but when it comes to finding links with Led Zeppelin inTHAT specific "scene" of bands coming out of Seattle, to me, Soundgarden really is the one where the most similarities with Led Zep can be heard (in a good way, like natural heirs who weren't trying to be).
Soundgarden had a sort of sabbath/zeppelin meets the stooges with their own signature soind on top . Very unique and they were easily the most naturally gifted musicians form the Seattle scene. Chris Cornell was like Brian Johsnom Robert Plamt and Samson all rolled into one
Shannon had a Vibe about him, I recommend ANY 90s music fan to watch " All I Can Say ", its about Blind Melon. It was filmed by Shannon, for the most part, its very Sad and very realistic.
Lol. Hoon and his band were Jane's Addiction rip-offs. Robert was completely out of touch. Jimmy however, right on the money referencing SOUNDGARDEN.🤘🏽⚡
Someone said to me once, in highschool, I'm class of 92... That uh...nirvana were like the Beatles, Soundgarden were led Zeppelin, pearl jam were rolling stones, Alice in chains were black Sabbath___ I thought about it, and said, " yea sure that's probably right on I like that." I mean, it's all a matter of opinion in the end, but I like that parallel....you know.🎸👍🏻 I'm so glad I got to see Alice in chains before Layne passed...and STP..RHCP...SILVERCHAIR...DAYS OF THE NEW...I saw but didn't know then who they were ... I wish I could have seen nirvana. It's weird that my parents saw zeppelin and pink Floyd jethrol tull__ and now I told my 2 daughters that I saw a few great Rock bands. I hope my girls get to see great bands, and keep passing it down.👍🏻🙂
Wonder if Shannon Hoon knew that Robert plant liked him? Blind melon are one of the most underrated 90s bands imo, even though they had acclaim they deserved much more
Not surprised at Jimmy liking Soundgarden because they are very heavy in sound content , energy and production and as good as any 70s heavy rock band and I'm 61 and grew up listening to Zepp from day one and the 90s can make a bold statement and go up against the 70s with super groups like Mad Season. The musical content and energy is all there and all there own and this was underground during the 80s like the 60s and early 70s had its own underground movement! Very similar in that context and there are many more bands that I'm not listing here.
1:59 What an Awesome nod to Shannon Hoon from RP. I have recently been Obsessed with Blind Melon, I didn't listen to them in my day. An Amazing band, Blind Melon is/was
Sounded.late..60s..begining..of..70s in..the..90s..The..first..record..is..great..!! No..fillers!!..There..were..a..couple..of..groups..like..Blues..Traveler..and..Spin..Doctors in the same vein!!!
I think thats page while plant like Porsche head and tried to like Rollins but page wouldn't let him which was just the last clip. I know plant did mention nirvana and sound garden earlier - but mostly it was just that movement they were going through in the 90s.
Why wouldn't he, it's based on the same content. It doesn't matter if it's Link Wray or the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Cynics or Soundgarden...it's all rock and roll just a different decade.
@@iii2187 a dude who plays in RPs most recent band .dunno his name ..I think the band is the Honeydrippers ..I'm not real sure..bout 50 % sure ..I could be wrong about the name ...
Well, Robert, we had our own punk, at the same time as British punk and even before. The Ramones, Misfits, Television, even MC5 and Stooges, for example.
It's way off to say that America didn't get its own version of punk rock until grunge happened. The Ramones and NYC's Punk Magazine predated the '77 UK explosion, plus members of several key early UK punk bands were inspired by seeing the Ramones when those guys toured the UK in 1976. The US punk scene was never as commercially successful as the UK version, but the 80s DIY scene in the US kept the punk spirit alive until it eventually broke into the mainstream via the grunge movement.
Punk started in America with the Stooges and the MC5. America also started the second wave of punk with the Ramones, Richard Hell, Johnny Thunders. Television and The Dead Boys.
Don't forget MC5 and The Stooges doing it up in Detroit in 1969. There was also Death in 1974 as well. But yeah, American Punk preceded British Punk but a good couple of years.
@@svpuppies2651 no only did it precede it but they directly ripped off the style in fashion and only then added their own spin to it. It just annoys me when they act like they created punk. Every big British music scene has come from America. Blues, R&B, Punk, any and all Rock including metal, Hip hop, etc and somehow they've convinced themselves it's flipped. They created it and we bootlegged it.
I suppose it depends on how you define 'punk'. In the UK, punk wasn't just a style of music but an overt anti establishment attitude... in fact, maybe more of an attitude than a style of music, since that style was very, very brief, and mutated into other styles whilst retaining the attitude. Was US punk anti establishment? I have no idea. But punk here is certainly as much of an ethos as it is a style of music.
NY Punk wasn't a cultural revolution in America, London punk was a cultural revolution in the UK. He's saying America finally got its street music revolution
Cause New York "punk" scene was essentially the beggining of the glam scene and transcended quickly over to pussy rock/hair metal. Nothing to do with punk
The American punk scene was strong in the late 70s early 80s .. Black Flag , Bad Brains , Minor Threat , The Ramones, Fear , The Germs to name just a few , these Bands would have influenced that grunge scene too
Soundgarden was the bestest grunge band, if you wanna call it that, because they had the bestest drummer (yes, Matt Cameron is better than Dave Grohl at drums, in my opine) but the whole who's bestest conversation is fraught with peril.
If you’re talking about his comment at 0:10, I don’t think that was him going at American punk bands at all, in fact it sounds like he’s talking about it in a good light.
I’m a huge Aerosmith fan because I love good songs that last 6 to 8 minutes long like “ Light my fire “ or “ Crying “ by Aerosmith. Nirvana songs and a lot of Alternative songs last 4 minutes long. But he is right how music lovers were fed up with Led Zeppelin and classic rock bands because we are from a different era. I did get into those bands as a teenager but Alternative was my preference at the time. I will say I do like one Pink Floyd song “ wish you were here “ But it is a depressing song. I don’t usually like to listen to depressing songs.
He won't say it but I will. They're the best. I know there were alot of great bands from that era. Good bands from this era. Nobody touches Zep, though
SDC, Back in the early 1970s Plant actually said something like "Its not that Id say we are the greatest band in the world, just that we are so much better than whoever is number two". 😂. Brilliant.
Maybe if they broke up after Physical Graffiti, they would be the greatest ever, but their records after Graffiti tarnished their overall reputation. Definitely one of the greatest though
@@padzzz9377 Nothing tarnishes Zeppelins musical reputation or legacy. For people who really know the bands music, Presence is really, really good. I have it as their 3rd best album behind LZ one or Physical Graffiti. For overall depth and diversity. I know IV sold a ton and had Stairway, and II had Whole Lotta Love, but those aren't the songs that really totally define what made the band so great. In Thru The Out Door is a good album. Maybe not as great as the others, but definitely not a bust either. CODA was ok. It was really a bunch of outtakes and B sides dating all the way back to the bands inception. Not for everyone, but then again, not horrible. It had Darlene. Wearing and Tearing. Poor Tom. Ozone Baby. A live version of Willie Dixons I can't Quit you Baby. A drums only song called Bonzos Montreux, highlighting Bonzos genius on drums. Maybe it was mostly for fans, but there again, not horrible. They were already broken up by that point. Look how many crappy albums the Stones have put out. They haven't had one that anybody but their biggest fans would like since Tattoo You in 1981. 40 yrs. Zeppelin are the greatest ever and nothing can detract from that.
Lol the USA had punk before grunge... Not only were there loads of underground punk bands all over the states (and the world for that matter) between the mid 70s and early 90s and on, but although Britain may have effectively codified the punk sound and culture, it was birthed in the USA. Not that this should be some pissing contest, but as an American I find it so silly how narrowly people from the USA and UK alike tend to view the genesis of punk. Neither country can unequivocally lay claim to creating it, as none of this happened in a vacuum, punk as we know it depended vitally on the contributions of both countries, and moreover let's not discount all the music we might overlook from around the world...
The Gods spoke. But corporate cut outs hate grunge today as much as they did in ‘94. You rarely if at all see tributes via commercial flash back adds to anything that acknowledges Grunge. Why-because they didn’t sell out Like the Beatles etal did. It makes me happy-in the times we live - where big corporations are behind some serious sinister shit that my music didn’t suck off their nasty tit.
Mr Autumn, Every video they made is a commercial.They make them with big budgets sponsored by Geffen Records to whom they signed contracts to produce product. The music commercials (videos) are big budget so people actually want to see them (like Super Bowl commercials) Them they play on MTV (Payola) so MTV can sell Cars, and Tide, and Kotex. It’s all a big snake eating itself.
Plant mentioned Big Black and Husker Du in the late 80’s so his comment about America finally having punk in 1991 doesn’t make sense. Punk started in America not the UK regardless
I don't know what lasted shorter punk/new wave or grunge. Zeppelin was Tavistock's epitome. Honey attracts more things than ugly/suicidal vibes. Humans want beautiful things and to hear beautiful things. The powers that are doing good in now, but syntheticly.
Grunge worthless the worthless now. Sick to death of people that can't sing or play. So to be different they sing in monotone and smack a few chords out.
Soundgarden is kinda like if Robert Plant replaced Ozzy and sang in Black Sabbath.
It's great to hear this great, seasoned band recognize the musical value of the grunge scene. Page and Plant are such icons, they saw what was coming!
True, but Grunge music was noted for light verse heavy chorus, which Zep was doing in late '60's-early '70"s.
He likes soundgarden 😎
Yes, Jimmy Page. Grew up on Zeppelin music, and still Iove it. But like you, I love Soundgarden too. Chris's voice was amazing. Was heartbroken when he took his life. 😥😕

Agree, Soundgarden sounds like Zeppelin and Sabbath had a baby.
Soundgarden used to do a killer grunge infused communication breakdown live Cornell sounded like a beast singing it
Soundgarden had a sort of sabbath/zeppelin meets the stooges with their own signature soind on top . Very unique and they were easily the most naturally gifted musicians form the Seattle scene. Chris Cornell was like Brian Johsnom Robert Plamt and Samson all rolled into one
Total fucking godheads
I agree and also thought STP had a strong zep flavor too.
I'd never heard glam metal described as "poodle rock" but I like that term lol
He was so right about Shannon Hoon. Great singer!
I have recently been listening to BM crazily. I didn't get into them when they were out, with Shannon Hoon
I remember seeing the video, and I thought man there’s still hippies.
And I was not alone😎
Shannon had a Vibe about him, I recommend ANY 90s music fan to watch " All I Can Say ", its about Blind Melon. It was filmed by Shannon, for the most part, its very Sad and very realistic.

I saw Page and Plant shortly after Hoon died and Plant dedicated a song to him that night.

Beck isn’t a band

"I also like (Henry) Rollins but he won't let me." 😂

Hoon is an icon of anonymity. It's fun to turn people on to his genius!
If I was handed two albums to listen to for the rest of my life and they were Mellow Gold and Superunknown, I wouldn't be disappointed.

Ramones was an American punk Band
Actually, they were the First punk Band in the World
Wasnt Portisheads album produced by Steve Fisk? Another Seattle connection
Their 1st album was produced by their guitarist, Adrian Utley

We had our own punk before they did. Ramones, Iggy Pop, and several more that influenced Great Britain.
