Thanks! You have the best reactions💙

I've heard this song described many ways, but I guarantee that parents back in the day did NOT think this song was "fun."😂

Never enough Led! 71 yers old, and still listening! The GOATS😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bonzo’s groove is all the money. There will never be another groove-master like him. RIP

The Backdoor man isn’t what you think it is! 😂 It is the man that will be waiting at the backdoor when your significant other leaves the front door!

72 yr old hippy here...........Still groove to Zep and always will. Each of Zeps songs evokes a memory" be it sex, drugs, or just grooving" from that era. Best blues rock band ever imo.

The Joy in your reaction is infectious

You know whats crazy, reacton videos like this, Maddy and others are just shocked when they see what Zep did, and this is half a century after they did it. Imagine how we felt, those of us lucky enough to experience it in concert and when they just came out with their albums, while coming off of a decade where the Beatles were singing "I wanna hold ur hand"

I am glad you're listening to this timeless song with headphones on. It goes in one ear, through your head and out the other side. An experience! Also, there will never be another band like Led Zeppelin.

You forgot the bass player (pianist) John Paul Jones. An exceptional musician.

This album sold millions in 72. This band were gods in Usa.

In blues vocabulary, a "back-door man" is just a man on the side. When the husband leaves openly by the front door, the boyfriend sneaks in by another route. Of course, Led Zeppelin did name an album In Through The Out Door, but that's a story for another day.

That was not a car. It was an eargasm.

When Led Zeppelin formed in England in 1968, Jimmy Page (guitar) was the band's taskmaster... He had the powerful voice of Robert Plant and the rock solid drumming of John Bonham and the studio expertise of bassist John Paul Jones... So, he was inspired to make this 'heavy' rock sound that was completely new. The first Zeppelin album was recorded in days and featured a few covers mixed in w/ original songs and it was a huge hit in 1969 as the band toured America. The band spent hours off tour in the studio recording the 2nd album 'Led Zeppelin II'... it had more original songs and it went #1 on the US charts in the Fall of 1969 and scored this top 40 hit - 'Whole lotta love'...🔥🔥 In the studio, Jimmy Page had ideas of overdubbing sounds on the basic tracks, which was new technology at the time... He also used guitar effects and experimented w/ sounds coming from the amps and w/ microphones (the sounds captured on tape varied when mics were used at varying distances from their equipment) When Zeppelin recorded acoustic songs, they would record in the countryside and wouldn't be bothered if a plane flew over them... They wanted the sonic 'imperfections' to be part of their sound. During the time in his previous band The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page would use a violin bow across his guitar to create a variety of eerie sounds... that was what made it on the Zeppelin record... The 'interlude' on 'Whole lotta love' was a patchwork of bongos, guitar sounds, vocal overdubs etc... His guitar riffs were made heavier w/ John Paul Jones' bass and John Bonham's powerhouse beats... Led Zeppelin combined their 50's blues inspirations w/ the newer 60's rock bands like Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who, Cream, The Kinks ... and created what would become heavy metal music. By 1971, they were THE biggest band in the world 🤘🤘

The drummer, the late John Bonham (nicknamed Bonzo) was anything but controlled! This song was released on Nov 7, 1969. Exactly 2 weeks later I turned 10. So I have been hearing this song for 54 years, and it *never* gets old! It's a primal song.

THE greatest Rock quartet ever. Pioneers of huge stadium gigs and VERY LOUD Rock. I think you may have misinterpreted the lyrics - they're classic Blues sentiments so often use sexually charged phrases and metaphors (the metaphor, for example, "Back Door Man" refers to having a secret lover who has to sneak into the house, whereas "I wanna give you my love, every inch of my love" probably means something more literal). The 'car' and other sounds were all made by Jimmy Page, the guitarist, who used various techniques (including using a cello bow and a theremin-type box that twisted and distorted guitar sounds) to achieve his aims. There is a movie/Rockumentary of their 1974 Madison Square Garden gig called 'The Song Remains The Same', which has awesome performances of all their greaqtest songs, as well as loads of weird and interesting pieces in between, showing their lives at home and on the road. Probably impossible to react to it as it will get blocked but well worth watching in private.

They got this song from two bluesman Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters from Mississippi and it was very direct but LZ took the vibe to another level it was their most psychedelic song ..LZ has many different styles and all are great and if you get on a serious listen , start out with the first album and go from there .. Good Times Bad Times /Babe I'm Gonna Leave You fully recommended

Great reaction when he said “shake for me, girl, I want to be your back door man.” I was watching for that. lol 😂

Best rock band of all time. Untouchable.

Best song, best band ever and ever and ever......

Led Zeppelin is an awesome band

🎸🎼🎸🎼🎸🌬🌬🌬 .. all right Maddy .. I wasn't expecting to Rock hard this morning.... but all right - all right - all right !! We can go with Led Zeppelin any time ... any day .. all day ! Yeahhhhh .. they rock so sweet. Amazing artists .. legends ! Thanks for waking me up 😊

Greatest rock band in history

53 years ago. It's still SUPERB. Nothing today beats this. No one...in fact . Has ever come close to Led Zeppelin. They just are unequalled

I think I was about 13 or 14 when I first heard this back in the seventies. If you want to see Jimmy with his bow I recommend checking out "Dazed and Confused" from Madison Square Garden in 1973.

what a beautiful smile you have. Many people would not get the lyrics but you do GREAT

Great to see you appreciate exactly what this is. Direct and to the point.

that LOOK....😅 with that sheepish grin..😊love it!!

They were the pinnacle of Rock and are still the standard everyone else is judged by. Their first 2 albums were an audio earthquake in the music industry, I still remember hearing Good Times. Bad Times, the first single off the first album come on the radio, it stopped you in its tracks. From the same 2nd album try the Lemon Song, it's another banger, they have many! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Led Zeppelin the effects are shattering…

Not for the weak, this is 70 rock and roll

Every Led Zeppelin song is a love song. Every one.

Your facial expressions and laughing were the highlight of this reaction. Excellent!!! 😅

Great reaction Maddy...best band in the land!

Yes, he plays his guitar with Violin bo and also on The song dazed. And confused

Your embarrassment when Robert Plant sang “I wanna be your back door man” was funny, cringe, and endearing simultaneously. 😊 always be authentic and you’ll continue to smash it! 💜

“Shake for me girl etc” always get a reaction but your giggle was class. Great reaction

Brilliant! "Back door man" meant the guy who visits when your bf or husband is out... Today slightly different 😂😂😂 Check out Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song live official video Or for something different Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre

Led Zeppelin Live.....will blow you away ❤

I was 16 and can still remember the first time I heard it. I saw them do it in concert a number of times. There wasn't anything like them. It really was a time when new, unique music sounds were being invented. Thank you for the reaction.

Maddie those experimental sounds you were hearing was Jimmy playing an instrument called a theremin. The footage was a collage of different live shots. Jimmy used the violin bow to play the guitar on Dazed and Confused, another great one to check out.

That sudden look of recognition at 4:23. Hahahaha. Then the laugh at 5:55!

John Bonham, RIP, was one of the greatest drummers ever and the "car" sound was made by a technique called pick sliding or pick scraping. Jimmy Page was experimental with musical sounds, like using a bow to playing the guitar like a cello and using a Theremin to create the distorted sounds on this this song as well as on No Quarter by Zeppelin. Great reaction, as usual. 🙌✌️

The car passing sound in the chorus (Wanna Whole Lotte Love) is slide guitar. The sounds in the music concrete center section are done on theramin, an early electronic instrument patented in 1928. Led Zepplin is the 3rd highest selling British Band selling betwqeen 200 and 300 million albums.

This is just pure Rock N' Roll!! 🎸🎵 The way it's supposed to be played! And the way you're supposed to look & MOVE while playing it!! 🤘👏 (I'm commenting from the USA)

Robert made Maddy blush.😅

They are very direct is right Maddie. An incredible song. Thanks for reacting to this classic song!

Led Zeppelin is the bomb

"Paradise By The Dash Board Lights"

I would say, Zeppelin is more popular around the world than any act perforing today... people will be listening 100 years from now.. best band ever, EVER!

You should check out "Heart" honoring Led Zeppelin by playing stairway to heaven.

Yes, cello bow This is Zeppelin at their best.

Love the reaction, great laugh and shocked eyes and yeah it is a fun song. Keep it cool baby hahaha.

I just had to laugh at your expression on hearing "Every inch of my love". Great reaction.

Today this song might sound kind-of rude. But to us boomers it is just great rock'n'roll. I loved Led Zeppelin when I was 5 yrs old and still do. I love your reactions to these few vids i've seen. Keep up the good work. :)

Just think, your grandma & grandpa we're rockin to this song back in the day. 🤯

That teccnique is called talent

The song that takes you on a journey of your choice.

I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's. Great band, and a great reaction. "Going to California" is one of my favorite tracks from them. Their whole catalog is great..... Robert Plant - lead singer Jimmy Page - guitar John Paul Jones - bass and other instruments John Bonham (rip) - drums All are great at what they do....

That song was indicative of the feelings of the late 60s. It was great. One thing i can assure you of,,, a full hit of Orange Barrell acid was too much acid when lying on your back in the dark listening to Zeppelin. A half is plenty. But ,,, i am feeling much better now.

Yup. It's exactly what it looks like! A bow!

I only wish I had realized this wasnt gonna last forever. We never thought the mighty Zep would ever end.

They broke up in 1979 when their drummer JohnBonham died, the did a reunion in 2007 and Bonhams son played the drums. Bass player John Paul Jones, Lead guitar Jimmy Page, Lead Singer Robert Plant. The greatest band!!!

Quite the reaction ! HAHAHA LOL ! Yes, you heard it correctly.

Music going from one ear to another is called panning. Music pans from one place to another

The car sound was a cello bow on the guitar strings, definitely a unique and eerie sound

Love love love your reaction to this (and all the others)! Would you believe that at one time you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing this song? Heady daring stuff back in 1969. But hey, when you're making that much money for the record company you could get away with a lot. Since you've already reacted to Stairway to Heaven maybe it's time to watch Heart's tribute to the group and the song at the Kennedy Center Honors. There are two versions out there so be sure to select the longer 8 min version.😁

Back door man didn't have quite the same meaning back then. It was an old jazz term for cheating with another mans wife, but your reaction to it made my day. Loving this channel ❤️

2:39 You can make all sorts of noises from a guitar using all sorts of items, using a violin bow to slide across the strings to make a haunting sound is one of them.

Great reaction Maddy, I love your 'the penny drops moment' at 4:22 LOL

63..now and still blasting this masterpiece of rock ❤it

Jimmy Page is using a Theremin during the break to get those noises/sounds. Also, the technique where the sound is moving back and forth between the headphone speakers is called panning.

The great John Bonham beat those drums like they owed him money!!!

I've never seen a person like you who is so beautiful and full of energy for video reactions. I love your smile and all of you😍😍! Keep it up and I'm sending you greetings from Croatia🇭🇷❤️❤️

Just been to the singer's concert. He is older but his voice is still very good.

absolutely LOVE your shocked reaction to the lyrics!!! Epic!

"Captivating" is a great word for Zeppelin! Very cool to see you as a "captive" audience! If you like the harder stuff like this, I would recommend, oh, at random here (they have SO many bangers!), "The Ocean" (funky!) or "Trampled Under Foot" (also funky, but "louder.") For their "soft (acoustic, etc) side, try the lovely "Going to California" and/or "What is and What Should Never Be."

Hit a little close to home?!?! Love that shade of pink you turned. Yeah, we had a lot of fun back in the day.

Jimmy Page used a cello/violin bow on the guitar strings to create the sound you were hearing!

got to see them in Germany in 1973 while in the army. cost me 5 whole dollars. turned 69 this year and I still enjoy this band

Ur reactions are infectious, well appreciated, and like you that back door lyric was far out there and surprisingly unexpected. I laughed out loud and your reaction and at 70, having just lost my wife to cancer, I needed this reaction. No, back then, if you got caught listening to this, you were grounded.

That technique is called a whole lotta talent lol.

Hey Maddy! My first time here and your reaction is fun and refreshing. Thank you. Four of the top musicians at the time all joined into one incredible band. Led Zeppelin remains one of the greatest, most influential, bands of all time. They were one of the first to rely on album sales as opposed to the traditional singles market for the radio charts. Led Zeppelin has a long list of excellent tracks to explore. While they started out as almost strictly a heavy Rock version of Blues, they quickly expanded into so many different styles. Pick almost any Zep song and you can't go wrong. This song is an adaptation of an old Chicago Blues song written by the great Willie Dixon and performed by Muddy Waters, one of the best of a long list of Blues greats. The phrase "back door man" isn't exactly the obvious connotation. It actually means someone who steps in your back door while you're going out the front door to go to work. In essence, your partner is cheating. Older Blues used many metaphors that represented different aspects of life. A perfect example is any mention of trains, train stations or railroads, is a reference to freedom - the underground railroad that brought many slaves to a better life.

🤩👌💥💯🎼 The amount of sexuality pulled on this oldie goldie blues song by Big Mama(credits to her) is over flowing on composition in this version... "🎼 Every inch of my Love 🎶" 🙈🔥😹 Amuzingly entertaining reaction mi lady. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

The "backdoor man" lyric refers to a man sneaking out the backdoor of a married woman's residence, as her husband is coming in the front. Otherwise, you're spot on about what this song is all about. The great lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, was using a violin "bow" on his guitar, BTW. The "car" sound is produced by sliding the fingers along the guitar's neck, in a particular chord, sometimes accompanied by wiggling or swinging the guitar. This band is rock 'n' roll ROYALTY! Thanks for your reaction.

I listened to this song a million times. And your right. It sounds like a speeding car. Wow 😳. I believe it's jimmy pages guitar 🎸. Or the organ

Thanks Maddy for doing my requested pick! Welcome to a very early and young Led Zeppelin! Robert Plant, the singer was only 20 years old when this was recorded in 1969 and yeah let’s say he had very little else on his mind at that time lol! Truly groundbreaking song that propelled Zeppelin into the 1970s with a zillion other imitators behind them. But this band has a wide variety and different genres of music and looking forward to you discovering them more through time. Thanks! Best, Ed.

Simply the best

That effect is made from what is called a Theremin it creates a wave effect to sounds amongst other dazling creations from the master Jimmy. :)

Great Singer I saw Mr. Plant in April of this year, Fantastic Drummer John Bonam, Hall of fame bass John Paul jones and one of the best lead guitarists of all time!

It's hard for me to believe I bought this album when I was in the 11th grade and now I am 70 years old. Still rocking.

I'm so glad that I grew up in the Era of all these great bands. Nothing will ever be like the late 60's 70' and early 80s music

Best 5 minutes of my day...great reaction 😊

That string that is similar to a violin is called the "bow"

Loved the expression on your face when you got the song.

“Shake for me Girl “ 😊😅

03:51: "What's going on!!?" Maddy, to answer your question simply yet wholly..... Led Zeppelin. :) .....that is what's going on!

As others here have said “back door man” meant the man cheating on your wife\girlfriend Of course it’s also a double entendre. And the band named a later album “In Through the Out Door” 😂

A beautiful love song.

Whenever I want a good laugh I watch your reaction to Whole Lot of Love. Keep it up.
