One of the best bass lines ever recorded!

These people are listening to absolute Master musicians plying there trade and they make it seem so effortless! 😎🎸🎹🥁🎤🎼🎧

We lived in a time when Giants walked the Earth. And what a time it was. Zeppelin forever.🤘🖤❤️

No filters, just pure talent! Best rock band ever!

That bass & drum groove to me is the highlight of this song. Of course everybody was on top of their game for this jam! But DAMN that John Paul Jones solo!

John.Paul.Fuckin'.Jones.

JPJ plays the gold standard of bass lines on this. IMHO, cementing his position as one of the all time greatest musical talents.

Led Zeppelin is for the ADVANCED music listener,,,,💥💥💥👍😎

These guys were all like 19-22 years old when they recorded their first album. That much confidence and talent out of four English dudes barely out of school is insane.

The BLUES pumped up on steroids!!!

Masters of their craft...all four of them!!🎶 There will never be another Led Zeppelin!!🎶🎸🎶🎸

The part about "Killing Floor" is from a song by the same name recorded by Howlin' Wolf. The double time section is what they used to call a "rave up" back in the day and was used to get the audience up and moving. Jimmy had played plenty of those with The Yardbirds. Jonesy said one of the things he was very proud of was Zep's music could get their audience to dance and groove, unlike some of their contemporaries. Zep's music was often very nuanced and they really made you listen.

JPJ at his best. Glues this masterpiece together. If you aren't head rocking to the bass you are not alive. That take down at 4:13 is earth shattering.

A synthesis of blues & jazz & raw rock energy. We were teenagers when we discovered this music. Weren't we the lucky ones?😊

Bass line is so good it’s worth a listen unto itself….. This is a rendition of “ Killing Floor” by Howlin Wolf… Blues standard turned on its head….. “Squeeze my Lemon till the juice runs down my leg”…. Only one interpretation of that lyric…. Lol… Zeppelin sometimes requires multiple listenings because there like colors of an artists palette… they each have their own contributions that warrant all your attention…. Then you have the collective work….. there layered like any masterpiece…. Now they shift gears again and give you “ Thank You” …. A love song for the ages….. In the right moment it can bring tears … beautiful art is a powerful seduction….. enjoy… look forward to your next….

Zeppelin Rules!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

When they featured JPJ on bass in a song, he never disappointed. Though, there are many songs of theirs where the bass isn't that pronounced in the mix, but if you removed it, you'd damned sure notice. He was amazing. Not to mention all the other instruments he played.

Jimmy Page is a genius producer too. They are all on fire but the bass line is so so good.

"Squeeze me baby, 'til the juice runs down my leg. The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed." It's a do-me-wrong song, as many blues songs are, but apparently all that lemon squeezing has kept him around way too long. For me, this is a top Zep song showing off their playing skills at the highest level. As a guitar player, I was drawn to Page because he didn't just noodle about during solos. HIs solos always had a voice and a direction. They always go somewhere, nary a wasted note. Then there's JPJ and Bonzo killing the bass and drums while Percy does his banshee thing. What's not to like?

Jazz disguised inside a Rock and Roll blanket and suit of Blues. My favorite Led Zeppelin song hands down. The level of musicianship here is unmatched. They leave each other individually, but are always in the room and groove together. It's amazing.

Page and Plant are sooo good, that we sometimes forget how important THAT rhythm section is..

The Rain Song by them is totally different when the Beatles said they couldn't write a ballad ......they took it as a challenge and showed they could do anything

Watching reactions by people who really appreciate and understand music is such a joy. Merry Christmas!!!! You chose a very naughty song 😉

that groove is everything.............to me JPJ is the goat!

LZ II was a total tribute to the Blues. I had this on 8-Track (Yeah... I'm that old...LOL!) and played it to death!!

Some of the funkiest bass you'll ever hear from JPJ - blues goes into rockabilly and back - so much in this song not just risque lyrics.

LED ZEPPELIN! The G O A T of Rock and Roll bands! Merry Christmas men…well done reaction!

I lived in the moment of Led Zeppelin… how lucky am I… The GOAT! Please do the 1973 Madison Square Garden live version of Since I’ve been loving you… that performance is Zeppelin at their finest…

Love your reactions and I put you up there with Soul Train Brother who was serious and actually listened to the music, Jimmy used a small amp with lots of distortion to create that wonderful sound from his guitar, I might be wrong but I get the feeling you two chaps play music because your attention to details is just brilliant, wonderful reaction like always, I would love for you to do the live version of The Ocean from MSG in 1973 because i was there for that show and you can witness how much fun they had doing that song and Plant has mentioned that playing that song live was one of his favorites and also in bands usually the guitarist always follows the rhythm section of bass and drums but with LZ being Pagey's band they usually followed him and in the video you will see Pagey turn around and clue in Bonzo the drummer when he was about to switch things up....the GOATs

No filters back in the day! In his prime, Robert Plant had an incredible range. This entire band is comprised of GOATs!

JP Jones' bass line in this song wrecked me as a teenager. I HAD to learn bass after hearing this song. Still can't play like that! Literal perfection.

you two are making me appreciate Zeppelin all over again...keep those reactions coming

Greatest bass groove of all time. Thanks for doing this. Love watching you guys fall in love with stuff I did long ago. Very cool!

Blues-rock ... Led Zepplin style!

Merry Christmas Looking forward to your Led Zeppelin journey.

THESE ARE SOME BAD DUDES! Nuff said! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

I am impressed how you two catch fine details in the instrumentation with such an acute attention to detail. There is nothing not to love in this song. Impossible to say who was the highlight of this work, the vocal, the bass, the lead guitar, or John Bonham.....IMPOSSIBLE! It was all so, so, so very good. Great reaction guys, thanks.

"Killing Floor: was where they killed the cows and pigs, in those old school Slaughterhouses, back in the day. Had drains on the floor for the blood and all. The floor was made of ceramic tiles, to be easily hosed down with water and cleaned up. I am not sure about the lemon thing, probably just hard to think of a song title, so they just went with the part of the song where Plant was talking about the lemon innuendo stuff.

Killer tune. Merry Christmas!

It's a love making pace. Starts slow, gets intense, slows again, speeds up again. Squeeze my lemon? You gotta know what that means. Leave my children down on this killing floor. She squeezed his lemon until he fell out of bed and finished on the floor.

They were so good. Four guys that could probably " feel " exactly what the others wanted and/or were going to do. Not one piece of the Led Zeppelin puzzle could have ever been replaced.

It’s tough to pick a favorite LZ song but this one is definitely up their in my list. A clinic in bass playing by JPJ. Great commentary guys. 👏

Led Zeppelin really was unique then. They were the top band for rockers. Love y'all musician's reaction and insights.

This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. The Bass, Drums are the best of all time. They are the best band ever to breathe oxygen. Ever. Tempo changes, and come back and groove like that. You know how hard that is?

Nice song, You two has the best songs.

This song is called "Killing Floor". It's an old Howlin' Wolf blues standard. Covering this is the rough equilivant of a jazz band doing Giant Steps or Autumn Leaves. They renamed it the Lemon Song because of Plant's improvisational lyrics about "squeeze my lemon, 'till the juice runs down my leg". That is a lyrical motif shows up in Zeppelin music more than once, check out the 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert's version of "How Many More Times" as an example.

Damn. I’ve listened to Zeppelin all my life and you just schooled me 😂

Fantastic song! Love Zeppelin!!

Man, you fellas must be on the east coast, lol. It's pretty early out here! The Mighty Led Zeppelin nail it AGAIN! Another great reaction! Thank You guys for starting my day out right. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to you and yours!!

Just 4 supremely gifted musicians. There is no weak link.

Lemon is a man’s sugar. I listened to these guys in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and you’re giving me a newfound appreciation for the music. Thnx

So much of the Zepp's music was influenced and was based on blues. They just added their own character to it.

YES!!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙... another great reaction, too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great reaction. There are definitely documentaries out there that talk about Zep's recording techniques. They would record in castles with crazy acoustics!

They were in their 20's and they were genius. Them and Black Sabbath.

Thanks so much reacting to that track, really... Bass guitar is my favorite instrument, this song is my number one... When I see people never hearing the bass, they should listen to "the lemon song", then they will recognize it ! What a beautiful bass line, JPJ was a god. After this song, I love listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Blood Sugar Sex Magik album with the phenomenal bass guitar player Flea 🎸💋. Very nice reaction. Love from France 🇫🇷😘

"Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg". Ya get it, right? 😆, oh and Killing Floor reference by Blues Classic Howling Wolf tune

😂 You were distracted talking about how they're in the pocket while his lemon was being squeezed! 😂

This is all delta and Chicago blues, which Led. Zep built on so well. Thanks for commenting on this great tune. Check out Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, etc. Killing Floor is an old blues song, written by Howlin Wolf.

that is one hell of a groove!

thanks for sharing havent heard these songs in years

Great review. I really enjoy your reactions because they were much like mine all those years ago. Another example of Zeppelin's ability to mash up various blues and jazz motifs into a sonic rock masterpiece. And every time you hear one of these numbers, it has an immediacy as if they are in the room right at the moment. Production quality was like the fifth element with them, and Jimmy Page was the producer.

7:55: "I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor".

What an amazing video to watch! Seeing people hearing this amazing song for the first time! Great genuine reaction!

You guys are a phenomenal reaction duo. I love the depth you delve into.

my band used to play this one so it's special to me. love your reactions

Always cool to see people discovering what we been getting down to for decades. Rock on.

Man I hope you guys keep this channel going…go hard boys.

love you guys keep it up lookin at you listening to these songs ,makes me feel like im hearing these songs for the first time,you both bringing it all back

Man I’m really digging your guys reactions so far! You’ve done 2 of my favorites from Zeppelin but my 3rd is “fool in the rain” it’s off their last album and Page and Bonzo were pretty much in fool addiction and Jones wrote almost the whole album musically! I think you will dig it!

Really good stuff! ❤

Ty I haven't heard this song in a long time..amazing groove

This is the funkiest song of all time. Zep even out funked themselves.

Love love love bluesy rock to death. Remember when this album came out, many parents of young teens were cringing at these lyrics. LoL This tune is a masterpiece. Robert Plant's voice was like nothing I'd ever heard before. Some voices were just born for rock n roll. Did he have a microphone in his throat? ☮️

The first album is raw because that's a way they recorded it. 15 hours recording time. 14 hours of mixing. Very few over dubs. After only 2 or 3 weeks of practice as a band. The second album was recorded on a road and different studios with lots of time to mix it.

They're bad dudes... :-) I'm having so much fun watching these with you. I started with your first Zeppelin reaction, and I'm still here... One, because your reactions are thoughtful and two because you're playing all the songs that the other reviewers skip. It's nice to listen to people who understand music better than I do -- I've listened to all these songs a thousand times, but hearing you guys make musical comments is helping me understand better what I already love... Let's keep it going... I'm in...

Happy Christmas! This is the best gift to wake up to today. ✌️♥️🎶

Thanks for pointing out JPJ on that verse outro scale thingy that was dope!

Absolutely EVERYTHING is working overtime on this song. Best band EVER !!

This song is ALL about ATTITUDE!

Merry Christmas. Watched a few of your vids. Knew you love this one One my favorites from JPJ. Pure magic. Enjoy the holidays

BTW, I'm AMAZED by how many Blacks of all ages love these boys! Blows my mind.

The mighty Zep, Elvis, Steely Dan......love this reaction channel. You two fellas ROCK! I'm looking forward to your reaction to The Who!

Man o man that bass line kills 🤘❤️

I'm sure someone said this below, but Plant sings at one point, "The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed", so the title is referencing that. Also, "killing floor" is an old blues term, and it's actually the title of a tune by Howlin' Wolf. Not sure what it means, exactly.

I wont ramble on too much, thank you for uploading on Christmas day, Merry Christmas Gentlemen.

I normally find “reaction” channels vain and cringeworthy but you two have helped me rediscover my love of artists that I first listened to long ago. Not only are you both musically sophisticated and make excellent observations, but you always put the artists first and don’t make the videos about yourselves. I am super curious how the two of you developed such advanced musical taste without ever listening to certain classics. Whatever the reason, I’m glad you didn’t :-)Keep it up. You guys are a breath of fresh air.

They always were incredible.

Best band ever! 9 of their 10 records are just pristine quality!

Also there is an isolation of JPJ and Bonzo on this track which is also great

i`m glad i found this chanell,btw the bass line was improvised on the spot

Led Zeppelin. My favourite jazz band.

This is fos SURE a bass players song..JpJ goes in so good in this one.. Walks the dog BEAUTIFULLY

These guys are so good it's crazy..

4:46 JPJ solo. It's so fu*kn good!😁

So glad my brothers are finding out about led zep been a favorite since the 70's

Got to watch it live...

excellent bass groove in this song, total funk

You guys are so deeply immersed in the music that you TOTALLY MISSED the lyrics. . . . . Also, the inspiration for this song is "Killing Floor" by Howling Wolf in 1964.

One of the special things about Led Zeppelin is that the drummer rhythms along with the lead guitarist and the Bass. Sometimes even a 3rd drum timing for the vocalist as well. --His children are his seeds, squeezed out of his lemon, which ran down his leg, according to the song.
