I’m jealous of people who listen to Led Zeppelin for the first time.
I see what you mean.
I enjoy seeing people's faces light up when they hear a great song that I've enjoyed for decades for their first time.
Sometimes I wish I could hear it for the first time again too.
I remember this when they came out to Australia, they arrived by limo, went on stage, then this was their first song.
D I T T O! ! ! !
I know right. Seems like an injustice
Thor is a mythical Norse God
Disco and zeppelin in the same breath is sacrilegious!!! 🖖🏻🇨🇦
Calling led zeppelin 'him' is as well
Trust me, that "noise" was never made on a disco floor.
There should be a law against talking about disco and Led Zepplin in the same breath.
@@loganrideout9151 At some point you have to resort to vigilantism.
I agree, that should trigger the nuclear option
I’m 37, I seriously like both types of music, BUT, you gotta be in a different mindset per each music type.
I think that would be a sign of the apocalypse
That scream Ah, Ahhh in my opinion is one of coolest sounds ever recorded
To me it sounds like a battle cry, and the drums are the horses’ hooves as they rush towards battle!
I do too.i think it could come out today.i don't think it sounds dated
I might have to agree with you.
It sounds like those giant horns blasting down the fjords
I think a close second is the sound the lead singer from the rock group disturbed says oooowhahahahah”
So Thor was a Viking god, so that's why this song was in the movie; as the song is about the Viking invasions on the shores of the British Isles back in the years of approximately 700 - 950 AD. The line 'Valhalla, I am coming,' refers to what Vikings perceived as heaven after death, which was ensured by a death during battle. There is still a lot of Viking DNA in the UK, hence a guy that looks like Robert Plant. Thought I'd share. Cheers!
Bingo
BERNARD CORNWELL IS THE #1 HISTORICAL FICTION WRITER OF THAT ERA. THE LORDS OF THE NORTH SERIES TELLS ABOUT THE INVASIONS. DNA PASSED BACK AND FORTH FROM IRELAND, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES AND NORDIC COUNTRIES FOR CENTURIES. CORNWELL HAS THE BEST BATTLE SCENES IN HIS BOOKS.
William the Conqueror who took and kept England in 1066 descended from Vikings as have all the King and Queens since including the current Queen
@@robertembury6094 I think William the Conqueror came from frank heritage and Harald Hardrada, one of the other candidates to the throne of England, was Danish If I remember it well... in any case, they were all cousins or something like that
@@JulioLeonFandinho, yeah, William was Norman, and born in France. Harald was from Norway.
Brad is dead on. This is about the Vikings conquest of other lands. They are the immigrants.
There's a historical difference between immigrants and conquerors. They all came from elsewhere, though, so fair play.
@@NefariousKoel , well, I think it fair to say the Vikings became Immigrants, in Great Britain. They never actually conquered it. Unless, you consider the Norman Invasion. They were the same root Stock. Normans were 11th Century. Vikings were 8th-10th or so.
@@NefariousKoel Yes it's a play on words.
@@markgreiser464 The danish owned england for a bit lol
Specifically Britain considering the "western shore" reference and LZ's British nationality, though technically you could apply that to their landing near the Americas too.
Lex's reactions are PRICELESS. I gotta have my daily dose of Lex.
She is awesome! They should be on national tv !
A version of this song was played by singer Karen-O on 2011's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara! that could be the movie they've heard it on before?
She is awesome
Never get tired of hearing Robert Plant's "Banshee Wail" on this song! Just incredible!!!
Geddy Lee did it better imho, but he did have a higher voice than Plant.
It was the ringtone for my wife’s # for years.
The characters in Marvel Universe: Thor, Odin, Loki, Freya... are based on Viking Mythology. This song isn't a tribute to Marvel Comic characters.
@Rhonda Allan Sure. It wasn't a tribute to those movies either. It was in Jack Black's "School of Rock" also.
This song was released in 1970
although Marvel Thor comics existed already before the song and the band
@@JulioLeonFandinho sure. But Thor comics didn't exist before the Norse Mythos, obviously.
@@stephenelliott1135 Ok. But Thor has existed in Mythology since before the 11th Century.
Immigrate Song is quite simply Norse mythology and the life of the Vikings.
It's Norsse mythology yes, but as told through the eyes of Vikings in their conquests.
A bit of a sailing ditty if you will as they "rode their oars" from home to "western shore".
Immigrant.
It isn't mythology at all. They really did this.
@@redrick8900 there’s mythology in there too-“Valhala I am coming.” I think this is part of what threw Brad off-he probably recognized Valhala from the Thor movie and thus thought that the song was maybe about the Thor movie, not knowing that Valhala and Thor are both part of Viking mythology.
@@CliffinAZ Religious beliefs aren't the same as mythology.
The story I heard is that they wrote it to thank the people of Iceland for giving them such a good reception. It's about the Viking raids and settlements between the 8th and 11th centuries. But the last line references the fact that eventually people find a way to live with each other:
"So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing"
(Also the people of Western Europe got a lot better at fighting back)
Thor (Thórr in Old Norse) was the Norse god whose name means Thunder.
This song was written by Led Zeppelin just a week after a a tour to Reykavik, Iceland. It is a song about how Norwegians sailed to Iceland and became Icelanders. The Norwegians emigrated to Iceland.
BINGO !
Oh ok that makes sense, I thought it was hyperbole the name immigrant song, because they obviously went to England, and I guess a term for that could be immigrant, but also raider, invader, and unwelcome. I could be wrong but I didnt take it as migrating to Iceland, because they say we come from the land of the ice and snow, with midnight sun where the hot springs flow, not there going to the land of the ice and sno etc etc.
This song is way older than the Avenger movies.
It's 51 years old. 😉
Thor is way older than Comic books ... way older than America ... way older than England. Heck, Thor is probably older than Jesus.
@@Zundfolge So he's even older than this song? Is that your point? How old do you consider Jesus to be? He must have retired by now?
@@TheUnderdogDe jesus age is 2021 ( thousand years ). there you go. lol
Norse mythology is a little older than Zep though haha
I can never imagine Robert Plant saying: Groovy!
Lol facts
Or Vikings swinging from tree vines 😂
Have none of you people ever seen the movie "the song remains the same " . He says it when they were off stage, probably waiting to go on
😂
I can imagine him saying all sorts of sexualised crap though 🤣🤣🤣
I still remember vividly hearing this song for the first time when I was a little kid... it changed EVERYTHING! My face melted
Brad has a lot to learn about the 60’s and 70’s music and where and when it was played.
Yep, clearly quite ignorant of the music and culture of the time.
Maybe he’s trying?
And about cultural knowledge like Nordic mythology
Father forgive him, for he knows not about the 60s and 70s.
Bahaha!! Even though I wasn't even born yet when this song was released, I PROMISE you.... this song, nor any Led Zeppelin song, was ever played in "Disco's"!! I laughed so hard when Brad brought disco into the equation!! Good one Brad and thanks for the laugh!! You guys rock!! ;) ;)
Yeah and the Crips and Bloods hung out together at A&W for a rootbeer float too.
Go easy on 'em, lol...they're new to these genres. Cute couple.
Certainly not a school disco!
Yeah, Ol' Plant could get a bit sexual in many LZ songs, some much more so than others, including this one.
i was born in this time and disco was like the anti christ to a religious person to any rockers
@@mnomadvfx It was the armadillos in their trousers.
Thor is an acient God in Norse (Viking mythology) yet it is also a character in Marvel comics. The day Thursday came from Thors name. Thors day.
And I believe Friday is Freya Day. We also have July is honor of Julius Caesar and August in honor of Augustus Caesar. Because of their additions to the calendar, we have 12 months, despite the last two being named November (Nov = Ninth) and December (Dec = Tenth, as in "decimal", "decade", etc.)
@@brushstroke3733 Wednesday is "Woden's Day", Woden is the Germanic name for Odin ( The Anglo-Saxons being a Germanic culture used that term).
@MarloN the bomb I did not know that.😳
@@joshgellis3292 All the days are named for ancient Gods.
Best Zep song ever. Legendary riff from Jimmy Page. The vocals were crazy good. Bass line from John Paul Jones = legendary...and as always, Bonham was amazing on drums.
The 70's had the greatest rock musicians the world has ever known.
And it isn't debatable.
Great addition to Ragnarok though😎
Hey guys if you're gonna check out Led Zeppelin again, "Dazed and Confused" is a must.
That's more like it!
So here´s a story for you: This song was inspired by their visit to Iceland in 1970 where they held a memorable show (I´ve been told, wasn´t born yet 😆) . In 2019 Robert Plant came with his band to play on Secret Solstice in Iceland. Then he told us in the audience about their visit in Iceland all those years ago. And as a gift to us he sang Immigrant Song for the first time in 23 years. It was a true honor to see this legend perform ❤ Here´s a small clip from 2019: czcams.com/video/sVpHTisQ7Rk/video.html
Listening to music with y'all is so much fun, I know all of these songs and listen like Brad following the beat of the drums but watching Lex is what makes it fun, her spirit is so cool.
You guys, seriously! Watching your reaction videos always bring the hugest smile to my face. Thank you!
Have they never heard of Norse Mythology? Also, never compare Zeppelin to disco again Brad!
They probably don't teach Norse history in American schools.
Lol I have no idea if it's taught now but when I was in school we learned Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian mythologies
@@TheJudgementofDogLol, I just love the movie.
To be fair the average white guy hasn't heard much of African mythology either so it isn't a great stretch that a black couple haven't heard of Norse myth figures when they are the major prototypical white/blond/blue eyed guys of history.
This has nothing to do with Norse mythology.
It's such a sign of the times that people have absolutely no knowledge of an extremely well known mythology and assume a song was made for a movie.
They are not assuming it was made for a movie. They are correctly assuming it was IN movies. I think it was also in the recent Mad Max.
I agree no disrespect but mind blowing that immediately went to marvel movies based on Thor. Like music wasn’t really made for film at this time. It’s wild watching people discover music for the first time.
A sign of the times? We live in a time when we can access all the knowledge the world has ever known from a device in our pockets. It may just be generational or cultural, just a lack of exposure. How do you know about this "well known mythology"? Probably from marvel comics. Get off your high horse and don't be such a snoot. It's all about having a little fun and re-experiencing the music like we first did through someone else.
@@noclouds111 That's irrelevant and nothing to do with the point.
The kids don’t read anymore so much of the 60’s and 70’s creativity was based on intelligent musicians writing about books they read..think Jim Morrison, Plant/Page etc..
I have trained In Greenland four different times as a Marine, and this song is so appropriate for that place.
Thank you for being a badass!! Semper Fi!! And, thank you for your sacrifices, Sir!
Story has it that this song was written for their fans in Iceland after holding a concert there.
Kashmir, When the levee breaks, over the hills and far away, Going to California. Hard to go wrong with any LZ song honestly, but those are pretty fantastic to new listeners. I like anything bluesy so When the levee breaks is one of my favorites.
Battle of Evermore
Hey guys,
This song was also used in the movie: "School of Rock" starring the great Jack Black. There's a funny, on-line video where they're filming the filalé and Jack asks Zeppelin if they can have permission to use the song in the movie.
I was an extra in the movie. And he had us in the audience plead with him
@@abrahamesparza01
That is the coolest thing!
I so wish I could have been there.
🤗🙌🥃
was also in Shrek when Snow White sang
@@TheHopebane
Ha!
I don't remember that.
I'm so gonna look for it right now.
That's brilliant.
Go back and watch Dirty Harry starring Clint Eastwood.
The song came out way earlier than the movies they attached them to. This particular performance was in 1972. You heard it in Thor Ragnarok. Vikings went forth and conquered many lands but became part of the people they conquered in many cases.
It's such a joy listening to this great music and watching Lex's pure delight and enjoyment of discovering it!
Lex's beauty and energy is unparalleled! Keep up the vibes 🧝♀️
The song wasn't about vikings immigrating to America, it was about vikings looting and pillaging England + Scotland
The level of ignorance of them is absurd
@@conradoborba199 Calm down, big brain
How did the education system fail them. What were they thought in history?
@@adrewdog .. World History is not compulsory in the states which is a shame. This country is culturally illiterate unless you want to learn about its failings.
@@maggiew.2809 I have a degree in History 2ndary Education. During interviews not once was I not asked "But what can you coach?"
The conversations the two of you have at pauses are AWESOME!!!
Robert Plant (the singer) was into mythology, the Lord of the Rings, etc.. and worked it into the lyrics. This was decades before the Marvel universal exploded. And by the way. I'm not so sure Robert Plant EVER used the word "groovy?"
It's a Viking war yell. Disco and groovy? No, LZ would never do and say those. The Vikings were immigrants to Britain as after attacking it they eventually settled there.
Yah. That disco comparison made me lol.
@Rhonda Allan Yes, but LZ are a British band and their lyrics tend to reflect British experiences, folklore and history. The Viking invasion of Britain was much more significant than the American settlements as in England they took over about a third of the country. The city of York was their capital and they established their own laws in their territory, that was known as the area of Danelaw. They were eventually defeated by King Alfred, the Anglo-Saxon King who united the country.
To be fair I'm pretty sure every group I've heard of being in Britain began as immigrants, even the Celts and Druidic peoples who emigrated there from central Europe.
@@mnomadvfx True, but I think this song refers to Vikings as it refers to Thor who was a Viking god and it was inspired by LZ's trip to Iceland, but LZ never seem to mind how people interpret their songs, saying the interpretation is up to the listener.
Definitely disco NO.
Please don’t EVER mention Led Zeppelin and “disco” in the same sentence.
Yea it pissed me off too
BLASPHEMY.
Disco has some great music - nothing to do with Zeppelin mind you - but many genres have great stuff.
@@anthonyv1719 yea bro I'll never say disco wasn't influential. People literally dressed up like they were going to a fashion show to go listen to it. It's almost like swing from the 20's in a way
@@anthonyv1719 “I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes” - Dr Hunter S. Thompson
the story goes that when playing in iceland, they got tips of someone who had some wee...plants you smoke.....and while driving there, an hour or so away, they got the idea for the song.....iceland shares many features of what is in the lyrics...
They wrote this song after they held concert here in iceland... my dad was there.... he was 17 years old..... its about icelandic nature and vikings..... but i saw both Prodigy and Rage against the machine when i was 13-14 years old.... im 78 mdl...
Used in 'Thor : Ragnorak' (Thor3) & a reworked version was used in the opening credits for the Hollywood remake of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'.
(Vikings were the 1st Europeans in North America, about 500 years BEFORE Columbus! - East Canada & North-East America today)
Well this one is personal to me, I come from the land of the ice & snow, I sing this from the heart❤ an
Immigrant from Scandinavia 🇸🇪 🇳🇴
#Ragnarok #Norse# HogFamily
I love that you guys look stuff up to understand more about the song or content.
I grew up my earliest teen years to Robert singing and Led Zeppelin sound. We had a cycle gang nearby w/ choppers that added to the feel of these tough sounds. To rock and to roll
Check out the “song remains the same” and “the rain song”, two beautiful songs by Led Zeppelin
The Rain Song is my favorite by them!
@@BATTIS94 it is a great song but my favorite is still got to be stairway to heaven!
I can't take how robert sing, in the song remain the same. i hate it.
MARVEL?!?! Bro... Haha. Love you guys. It's hilarious seeing what most older people see as common knowledge go over your heads sometimes, like Thor and the four horsemen. Thor is a Norse god, the song is about viking invasions.
Zeppelin's first tour was a in the nordic countries. The Yardbirds had disbanded leaving Jimmy Page holding a contract for a nothern European tour but he had no band. So he formed Led Zeppelin and one of the songs they wrote was this one. Which was likely meant to appeal to the Nordic audience.
Man, when it comes to late 60's Zeppelin, Lex's reaction was exactly my reaction in specific parts in these songs. She's actually feeling what I was at first.
Omg love this! Led Zeppelin is so amazing!!! So many songs!!!!! ‘No Quarter’ Also.. Cream - ‘White Room’
This was released in 1970. It was about Vikings. Thor is one of their gods. It was used in Thor Ragnarock which was released in 2017. Most people who knew this song expected it in The first Marvel Thor film from 2011, like how Iron Man used Black Sabbath's Iron Man (which is about a completely different character).
There was nothing generic about this in 1970. Few bands rocked this hard.
I always enjoy your reactions to music. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing and you both are so groovy!!
To me, it's about the vikings "immigrating" to Europe for 600 years... talking over...
This song was used in Thor Ragnarock which came out a couple years ago.
Guy's Led Zeppelin was playing in a band from 1969 till 1980 when there drummer John Bonham died of a over dose of alcohol that's when they split up!! The immigrant song is from mid evil times like the 10th to 12th century and England was involded with wars with Rome back in Christ times and they were broken up in to tribes at that time!! That is where there vocalist got alot of his lyrics!!! The immigrant song is about the Viking on a tear taken from other tribes and lands!!! Have a Great day. Dave
The first Zeppelin song i ever hear in 1978 aged 14. thanks guys.cheers
Really love Lex's energy! Keep it up girl.
She is so beautiful. Perfect mouth. And I love she loves rock. She's fun. He's lucky
You look at these two talking about Thor and their knowledge about him, when you're as old as me, you begin to weep for humanities future from the state of our education system.
You’re not very smart, are you? Why bother worrying about things you have no effect on/cannot influence.
I didn't learn much about Thor in public schools or at university. I was vaguely aware of Thor from comics when I was very young and somewhere around age 10 I picked up a copy of Deities and Demigods for Dungeons & Dragons and learned more about the Norse Mythos and it piqued my interest. More recently I've been reading Northmen by John Haywood with great delight. Perhaps you should get off of that rather tall horse you rode in on and weep for close-minded old men who think they know best.
Not everything is about Europeans boomer.
@Uncle Dolan Thankfully, Indo-European history is still taught at the university level. Part of the reason it's not taught in public schools anymore is political. And that's sad. But it also encompasses a lot of information and grade schools have so little time to teach so many subjects I'm sure that's part of the reason as well.
@@johnroberts7018 Thor was not part of Indo-European culture, which predated the viking age by more than a millennium. Indo-European history has never been a part of any general studies program through high school. And you again exhibit a Euro-centric mentality because outside of people of European ancestry, hardly anyone knows of Thor unless they watch Marvel movies.
i heard this song for the first time when I was 10, back in 1978. It both terrified and fascinated me!
“When the Levee Breaks”; “Misty Mountain Hop”
You gotta do Kashmir - live at Celebration Day 2007, a good 37 years after the original was done but with Jason Bonham on drums to fill in for his late father John who passed in 1980 thus ending Led Zeppelin. This was a reunion concert of sorts but so epic.
Lex couldn't be cuter. I love her energy!!!!
You guys are freaking cracking me up...🤣🤣🤣
The idea for the "Thor" movies was about 40 years late from the day this album was released, however, "Immigrant Song" was included in the first fighting scene in the movie, "Thor: Ragnarok".
😊❤️🤘🤘
John Paul Jones bass playing in this song is phenomenal!!🔥🔥🔥
Him and Bono set a rock solid tempo
"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" - This song was covered by Karen O & Trent Reznor in the trailer.
And, just my opinion, but it wasn't a '70s sound. It was top tier talent that is very difficult to find today. ;)
I absolutely love her vibes man
Trampled under foot or,D’yer maker.Over the hills and far away are some super awesome Led classics!
70's themes were different than today. The classic rockers were writing middle ages fantasy's. Knights, wizards, dragons. A real Lord of the Rings focus. These images could only be in song or your head as there was no cgi.
Brad and Lex should do a "try not to headbang challenge" video.
I think one of them would lose very quickly, not saying which though. ;)
WTF?!
@@nathankrush3289 What's up, mate?
Lex 100%
I love love watching you guys listen to these songs... I still have trouble believing that you guys never heard any of these songs before
I love her energy and reactions.....
I have to admit I never payed much attention to the lyrics but this song is almost like a history lesson of the Viking times… how they traveled everywhere colonizing Iceland and conquering pretty much half the world (btw the 1st person to ‘discover’ America was a Viking 500 yrs before Columbus did)
I can't imagine them being played at a disco or ever saying groovy😂. This came out long before Thor. I know you'll never hear 2 songs that sound the same from these guys👍🏼
The Marvel character Thor has been around since the early 60's and the Norse mythology Thor has been around much longer than that.
@@jaydenwhitlen1489 but not all too many movies, above the "C" level. So, they would primarily be present, in the minds of freaks, like me.
@@lewisjohnson8297 Doesn't matter if he wasn't popular Thor was still a thing before this song
Robert Plant was inspired to write the song while they were performing in Iceland. And it is about Vikings sailing to distant shores to raid and conquer.
You guys are the best ! Lex you are hilarious! I grew up on this kind of music and it makes me feel good you guys like it !
Thor was a god. Thursday is named for him. Wednesday is named for Odin, the chief Germanic god. The English language is Germanic.
LUL MY NAME IS "FAK YOU BITCH" AFTER THE 4TH WEEK! XD
Honestly, I Never equated any sound or vocal style LZ did with disco floors, groovy yes because hippy slang was a part of the rock culture.
In the seventies rock and disco were complete opposite musical camps.
Yes. Not a lot of driving fuzz guitar in disco.
I know that at first glance they seem very opposing but both a very rooted in blues and take a lot of influence from the same places.
Lex, you groove so great. You make me like the song even more than I already do.
I had the great fortune to experience the world of rock in the 70this I would love ❤️ to go back there again!
The scene where this plays in Thor Ragnarok is amazing!
This is about Iceland! The song was written after a concert in beautiful Iceland 1970. They got so impressed with the history and beauty of Icelandic nature that they made this iconic song. Listen to the lyrics and then you will understand. Confirmed by Robert Plant.
This song was in School of Rock and Thor: Ragnarok. They are two of the very few examples of Led Zeppelin allowing their music in a movie. It's really rare for them to do so.
glad I checked to see if someone already posted that info :-)
you guys are so funny your videos are always so fun to watch
Before you start...you are reacting to my favorite Zeppelin song EVER! LOVE IT!
I kinda wanna see how you guys react to "When the Levee Breaks" and "The Lemon Song".
You should go with Zeppelin's 'when the levee breaks' I think you would both appreciate it
As someone who grew up in the 70s and 80s one thing I always loved about Zeppelin is their range to do so many different types of music. They knew not everyone would like their music and they were fine with that. Always had so much respect and admiration for this band. And then of course there was the tragic ending of Zeppelin in 1980 when Bonzo died unexpectedly. It added a mysterious vibe to the band. Not many bands would break up with the death of a drummer but they decided that was exactly what they should do. They were that tight knit.
This song was so revolutionary for its time 1970 , this type of of singing , this was influential for the metal rock that followed, but still is unique. That sound did not exist before the sound was made so for its time was sure to be a commercial sound. Also Although this song is used in a lot of movies today and could be imagined in a movie that is not how it was back in the day. Most action movies that would use a sound like this also did not exist. So this song is ahead of it's time and that regard. Star Wars was created 9 years later in 79 And it used classical music not rock and roll. But that was when all the modern polished space fighting films started to happen. The movie Excalibar in 1981. The entire style style of movies with high and soundtracks accompanying the film action such as electric guitars In full synthesized backgrounds with base booming thumps that is now part of almost every action film did not exist in 1970.
Led Zeppelin weren't necessarily a metal band, but this song is proto-metal.
They were much heavier than any stupid metal band
@@davidmerlin6787 Bonham made them heavy.
If you look back to when this came out they were Metal. It's like how Van Halen was considered metal in the 80's
Check you out with Black Sabbath all over your profile pic and name. Cheers 🍻
@@tlbryant4697 I get it. It's just that they're more bluesy or even folksy in most of their songs. Bonham is the one who made them heavy. They're still rock obviously but yeah many bands in the 70s and early 80s were classified as heavy metal that weren't. I remember at a blockbuster in the early 90s and didn't see any Rush. I asked a worker and he said they were in the heavy metal section. I just started laughing.
Thor is a god from the northern mythologie, that outdates christianity. The marvel comic is based on that.
I giggled at the modern Thor comment...
It only outdates Christianity as it branched off from Judaism. Compared to Judaism it is a baby.
@@DarthPoyner Nope
The long version of this song is fantastic to just vibe out to. Agree the other two are on a whole other level, artistically. But I come back to this one as well, because its so darn fun rhythmically.
I'll never get tired of this
I love how Lex gets into the complicated beats and Brad seems to purposefully misunderstand because he can't keep up. But that's ok his reactions to simpler beats are right on.
When Robert Plant sings “we come from the land of the ice and snow”, he's not taking on the role of a Viking. Rather what he is speaking to, more literally, is the concept of Led Zeppelin themselves returning home from Iceland. They went there. had a great time, loved the place and the end result was the song.
Brilliant analysis. That totally explains Valhalla, overlords and tales of gore.
You should go deep into this rabbit hole of Zeppelin. They have a wide array of sounds. You should check out Since I've Been Loving You, When the Levee Breaks, No Quarters, Trampled Under Foot, Ten Years Gone, Moby Dick, Bring It On Home, The Lemon Song, and so on and so on. So many greats.
Love these two 😆
That was way before disco and they has a band we’re the exact opposite of disco no Led Zeppelin no Metallica
Put this in that category is a slap in the face . And never would have been played in a disco
It’s about how LZ came to America and took over “ How the west was won” using Viking and Norse mythology. Thor is a Viking God not a superhero
One of my favorites!
Love you guys
