The actual champ switched to a lyric video cuz he wanted to know the lyrics. That's how you know he's actually interested in the song.

Who else, watching this, is saying, "Wait for it...wait for it"?

I envy this guy that he's listening to the best rock music piece ever written for the first time

"He said 'Our shadows taller than our soul'... who comes up with this stuff??" Drugs. Really good drugs.

"Listening to different types of music, makes you a more open minded person" may be one of the wisest things,i have ever heard. Thank you.

Pink Floyd taught me that one day I’d find that 10 years had got behind me...but then Zeppelin taught me that there’s still time to change the road I’m on. Do with that what you will 🤷‍♂️

"There's still time to change the road you're on ." Love that lyric.

The biggest reason I like rock n roll is how much effort thats put into them.

The most played song in rock history and the most requested song on FM radio Is has been played over the air 9.3 billion times since Nov 8 1971

"To be a rock, and not to roll" One of the most genius lines of all time.

I'm not a Zeppelin fan but "Our shadows taller than our soul" is a freaking great lyric. It sounds like it should be carved on Mount Rushmore.

Brought a tear to my eye when you said listening to all types of music makes you look at life differently and be a more open minded person. I couldn't agree more :)

shaq: "since i started listening rock and metal, it changed my life perspectives" so true for most of us.

Number one rule in the car with my friends- never change the station when Led Zep comes on.

For an 8 minute song that’s the quietest I’ve ever heard you! Classic

Shaq is growing. It’s an amazing thing to see. I’m an old white woman and the 60’s and 70’s music is what I partied too. There are a lot of amazing bands from back then and it’s a lot of fun watching you discovering them. Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I first heard them.

Shaq: "He said... First off he's talking about a woman. That's how you know it's about to be crazy." This shit had me dying bruh hahaha

I love how you doubled back for the lyrics. Check out the Eagles...Hotel California

I love that he didnt say a thing thru the solo cause he felt that page

Thats why we like rock, because they put thier soul into it; the guitar, the bass, the drums, the vocals, just wonderful

I wanna see him react to Hotel California by the Eagles

"When I transitioned over to this metal journey, this rock journey ... it changed my life" ! Love it. Nicely done kid. Welcome to the party my friend.

I just figured out why I like this channel so much. I feel like I’m hanging out with a good friend listening to music together.

"Let's rock out!"... Wait for it bro. Wait for it.

For the whole song, I was waiting for Shaq to pause it when Robert Plant said “Our shadows taller than our soul” and I was so relieved when Shaq realized how strong that line is.

Your reactions are so pure and true. This old woman is now a major fan. Reaction videos bore me, but you are so animated and joyful. Many hugs and much love.

I love when the drums kicked in how he went 'HOL' UP!'

When my sister passed I listened to this one alot.

I'm a metalhead, always been, i was raised in a very rock oriented family. And i must say that.. you telling your feelings when it comes to music, how it makes you feel, how it changes your everyday life.. it's very touching and inspiring.

This is an incredible moment. It's not often you get to see someone's response to arguably the best song ever produced.

Shaq I’m a 70 year old great Grammy. This was my wedding song back in 72. The meaning of it has changed over the years but all tied to our life. Married outside in the mountains under the trees. I was 17 & my groom was 29. So many moments in our life started with this song. I’m glad you youngsters are finding this great song. I’m a widow now but this continues to have special significance 😘

Shaq: "Who comes up with this stuff?" My first thought: "Drugs in the 60s and 70s"

Led Zeppelin - "Black Dog"

The woman thinks she can buy her way into heaven, as it has worked for her so far. Words have two meanings, ex. a poor person goes to the store with a sign that says it's closed, they cannot gain access, but a rich person can get that store to open back up for their purchase. There are two paths in the bible one is heavily trodden, one is narrow, the narrow road leads to heaven. The "Piper" leads those down the wide and heavily trodden road and the "whisper" leads to the narrow road. But there is always time to change the road you take in life. The Piper is TV, social media, politicians, etc telling you how you should feel, act, about things. The whisper is that thing in your head/heart that talks to you before you do something. Remember when you were a child, before you knew the law, before you did something like thought about stealing a sucker you had that thing inside you telling you it was wrong and noone had to tell you, that is the whisper.

You need to do a reaction to Ann and Nancy Wilson of HEART doing Stair Way To Heaven at the Kennedy Center honoring Led Zeppelin. Jason Bonham, the son of he late John Bonham is on drums and Barack and Michelle Obama are in attendance. This performance has been compared to the original version and it stands alone for it's greatness. You should see the reactions of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones as well as the rest. The Performance is GLORIOUS. But, don't take my word for it. See for yourself. Many have reacted to it. Don't be left out!!

I've heard this a million times but watching with you gave me fresh eyes.

This one really got to you didn't it? This song is magic. It's wizardry. One of a kind. They tapped into something.

Kashmir should be the next song you listen to from Zeppelin!

I love how he wants the lyrics to every song he feels. I grew up a huge variety of music from oldies to rock, rap, to metal to, reggae ECT. Infact I passed this characteristic onto my 15 yr old daughter who I raised on a variety of my music era and she has to has to go get her fix at least 3 times a day before school after school and before bed she'll grab her headphones and I pad and swing on the patio swing for 20-30 min listening to whatever she's in the mood for that day or time and does NOT! Want to be Interrupted as she wants to get lost in her music. Which blows my mind because when I reached my early teens I would come home from school grab a handful of my favorite c.ds plugged my headphones into the radio and payed on my bed in the dark for a hour. I never told her this and yet she is completely like me in her love for music. If I feel it in my soul than I'm completely sold. Music has been one of the most important influences in my life and I find myself getting drawn to rock the most at this point in time at age 36. Nothing touches me more than the lyrics to all of my favorite rock songs especially because 90percent of my favorite rock artist wrote there own shit that's a true artists no ghost writing just pure raw emotion . Alot of Ppl assume it's just loud screaming and guitar and drums but the lyrics are the key to it all. Depending on what I'm going thru in life when I hear it . I remember hearing this song exact song your playing now after getting sober and my body,mind,and soul was clearing from the fog of yrs of past drug abuse and though I had heard it a million times in my life, it had never sounded more beautiful and made more sense than at that moment in time. I remember I in the car with the windows down and the cool air hitting my face and I just had a stream of all kinds of repressed emotions come thru me and tears were streaming down my face.I cant explain it but I don't need to the music does that for me and I respect anybody who is un- biased to any type of music like this dude here he can see it from a new different angle for the meaning and the words not just a hook and a beat like some present Day cliche bubble gum music without substance. I use to read all the lyrics to any rock song that I felt connected to in some way and once I read the lyrics it trips me out how I can relate to it, In fact it's because of that reason that I litteraly have hundreds of thousands of songs (no joke) memorized in my head.every deep song that affects me and let me tell you it's alot of music in my head It doesn't matter if I first heard it 1,10 or 20 yrs ago once I feel it and read the lyrics it's locked into my brain and soul like a safe locked for life.

I need you to react to “November Rain” or “Sweet Child O’ Mine”

Robert Plant: Writes something Shaq: HOLLLL UPP

I appreciate him wanting the exact lyrics. Words have power.

Loved this song for 30 years, literally sitting here bobbing my head with you lol

Your reaction to rock gives me goosebumps. It's a beautiful thing to see somebody appreciate lyricism and the musical gifts these legends bring. I'm so glad that you said rock 'n' roll has changed your life it's done the same for me as well.

My friend you listened to, what might be the most mystifying song ever.

"How y'all gonna hit us with two ads?". Hahahhaha this killed me.

LISTEN TO THE LIVE VERSION! There’s a reason why they are considered above all other great rock bands the very best there was, is, and EVER will be!!!!

Heart’s live performance of this moved Led Zeppelin to tears. Really beautiful rendition

"Who comes up with this stuff, bro?" Acid!

My first real love at 16. He died of Leukemia that summer. This song played at his funeral. Im 49 now. Still makes me weep everytime. Thank you for this video.

If you like this one, you should watch the Kennedy Center tribute to this song. It's very good. The original drummer, John Bonham, son is the drummer in this. Ann Wilson (and Nancy Wilson- from the band Heart) does a fantastic job at vocals. This is definitely worth your time.

I love that you appreciate, try to understand and dissect it and really enjoy it!!

Hey Shaq, there’s a Maya Angelou quote I like. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I don’t remember everything you say in your videos, but I always feel good watching them. Thank you for that.

It amazes me that you can take these epic rock songs that I grew up on and break them down in a way I haven't heard before. Plus you have an awesome stank face.

Man , I know this really isn't your genre of music, but this truly is one of the most brilliant masterpieces ever written and performed. A true classic. Timeless

GLAD TO SEE YOU AT OVER 2 MIL SUBS, WAS WITH YOU SINCE LIKE 100K!

Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love!!! It’s groovy af coach!

Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarist of all time. Page's guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven is classic. Thanks for the reaction!!!

Love you man. You are teaching me how to listen to music again. Realize I haven’t listened to music enough lately.

I love that you're feeling this stuff. Keep it coming.

I love when an unsuspecting youngun taps in to the greatest of my generation. I have a 15 you who is wowed everytime she delves into my library. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

This is like "Music Appreciation 101" and I'm sure many of us listening are really "hearing" these songs again for the first time in a long time. Music speaks to all of us and can unite us if we let it. Keep going...this is great!

I just love your reactions!! Makes Me remember how I felt the first time I heard these songs you share. Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

Yooo great reaction. Glad u put the lyrics up. Have heard the song a million times but haven’t thought a whole lot about what it means.

"it made me look at music differently, and it made me look at life differently." Such is the power of opening your heart, your mind, your spirit. Shaq, I salute you!!

Music is like travel: It broadens your mind.

You had me rolling. This tune has been with me since it was released and to see a first time for you was awesome. Keep looking west

HOW have you gone through your whole life without hearing this masterpiece? One of the most legendary songs of all time!

You legit care about the music, lyrics and meaning of it. Best music reactor in my opinion 👌🏼

As a huge fan of music, i appreciate the fact that you make sure to understand the lyrics. Here for the bars, babyyyy... Haha

I mainly listen to drill, UK-rap, pop, Hip-hop and rap but there is no denying that Stairway to Heaven is one of the best songs ever made. Song like these are the only reason music is actually studied by people. Led Zeppelin and Queen have to be my top Rock bands but I have started to explore other bands like AC/DC and Guns N' Roses.

This song came out when I was in Jr. high school and it blew me away. It is on the first album I ever bought as a kid. Aside from the meaning, the lyrics in this song (and so many other great hits from that time) evoke images in your mind that no music video could ever recreate As far as the lyrics go, I’ve always viewed the song as a woman who had beauty and privilege who thought she could buy her way into heaven using her wealth, beauty and charm. She learns along the way that her wealth and physical beauty cannot get her in to heaven and she is on the wrong path. She listens and learns that there is a different currency, another kind of gold, that has nothing to do earthly wealth and there is still time to change paths and find her way into heaven. No matter the intended meaning, the way the song builds from a guitar and recorders playing softly and slowly to the chest thumping rock near the end coupled with the lyrics are worth listening to over and again while contemplating the meaning it all has to you. thank you for your reaction. When your video started and you could not see the lyrics I thought there was no chance you would be able to feel the full impact of those words. I very much appreciate that you cared enough to stop and get the lyrics. Thanks again.

Freebird by Skynryd next....another classic and must hear!!

I saw you made a new video and then I saw "Stairway to heaven"...I've never clicked on something so fast haha

Bro, I am so f'n thrilled how you've embraced all different genres of music! There is no race when it comes to all music! Just let it reach your soul! Keep'm coming!

Great reaction as usual! You are genuinely into the new (to you) songs. Love your reactions!

Please react to ..Since Ive Been Loving You ..by Led Zeppelin

“First off, he’s talking about a woman. That’s how you know it’s about to get crazy.” I wish I could post a picture of Chappelle from that game show sketch where he says “Somehow, that is correct!”

I can't believe people are still hearing this song for the first time. Crazy to think about to me because i've loved Led since I was a child

Dude i just watched your reaction to this song which is a VERY IMPORTANT SONG TO ME! I’m HONORED to hear your interpretation and reaction to it!!!!! I love you man and hope to learn more from you!

Watching someone hear the greatest song of all time for the first time. What an honor for us.

React to Hotel California by The Eagles please!!! I want to see you break down the lyrics and see what YOU make out of it!

Played this at my 49yo wife's funeral. High school sweethearts, married at 22yo, died unexpectedly in her sleep March of 2023. I cry every time i hear it. A good cry

The slow swell of the guitar throughout the song is amazing, it’s always picking up pace from beginning to end

You need to listen to led Zepplin‘s immigrant Song, that will blow your mind away. I love seeing your reactions to classic rock, keep up the videos.

Zeppelin is my favorite band, and while Stairway isn't my favorite song of their's, it's quintessential Led Zeppelin. I've never seen someone listen to it for the first time. This was amazing to watch. Great video, man.

A lot of respect to you man. My favorite group growing up in the 70's. So happy for you that you listened to this for the first time. I love your true joy of the words. As many here already mentioned, this is the greatest rock song of all time. Led zeppelin is the mozart of rock and am sure will be listened to in the centuries to come.

My brother! Glad you’ve got the rock bug! Keep rocking out my man 🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻

Straight up - you gave me shivers. I've been listening to this song for 40+ years but your comments made me see the lyrics differently and more profoundly. You're a joy to watch.

When it comes to Led Zeppelin - one of my all-time favorites has to be "Since I've Been Lovin' You." Don't step away from Zeppelin without checking it out my guy. It's just too tasty to pass up!

"You got to be a well rounded person out here, man." Preach it Shaq!

You are so right brother. Different music opens you mind, and also your soul.

Literally one of the most open-minded people on this platform. Big Respect!

Aye Classic right here. This band and song sets the bar.. LED ZEPPELIN was nothing like it’s time.

Oh man what you said at the end of the video is so spot on!!!! Great insight man!!!!

Congrats young man, you have just listened to one of the top 100 songs ever on basically ALL LISTS made. This is so cool, I'm 61, and I (actually...) learned to appreciate my mothers music. Not Stairway to heaven though... Would love to see you "first time hearing" on one of my mothers favorites. Mireille Mathieu, Non je Ne Regrette rien. It's in french, so a translate is good. She was HUGE in her days. Very best greetings from Sweden!!!!!!

Just a 4/20 2019 thought! As a bonus try Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf! (Cough Cough)

8:22 Bonham comes in....."HOLD UP!" 11:03 Plant comes in right after the guitar solo...."HOLD UP, LET'S ROCK OUT!" Great reactions!

I love your interpretation of lyrics regardless of genre.

shaq... Props for coming outta you lane... so happy to see you know bars go farther that rap and hip hop(which i love and appreciate) but you just showed an appreciation to music in general, lyric and "BARS" go farther than one genre
