In this episode of the "Sounds on Vinyl" podcast, hosts Phil Bowyer and Mike Svensson delve into the iconic debut album of Led Zeppelin, released in 1969. They begin by discussing the band's fearless approach to blending multiple genres, including rock, blues, and folk, highlighting the album's daring and innovative nature for its time. They examine each track in detail, praising the musicianship of each band member, especially John Bonham's exceptional drumming and Jimmy Page's guitar mastery.

Songs like "Good Times Bad Times," "Dazed and Confused," and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" are lauded for their groundbreaking elements, showcasing Led Zeppelin's unique ability to transform blues into something entirely new. However, they express mixed feelings about tracks like "Your Time is Gonna Come" and "Black Mountain Side," noting their experimental nature.

The podcast also touches on the significance of the album's longer tracks, an uncommon feature in the late 60s, and how Led Zeppelin's boldness in song length and style paid off. They discuss the album's covers, particularly Willie Dixon's "I Can't Quit You Baby," as examples of Led Zeppelin's talent in reinterpreting and elevating blues music.

Towards the end, Phil and Mike reveal that the next episode will be their final show, promising it to be an epic conclusion featuring one of the greatest heavy metal bands. They hint at a future project, indicating the end of "Sounds on Vinyl" in its current format but the beginning of something new and exciting in the world of music.

Hey, hey, welcome to the second to the last episode of the sounds on vinyl show

My name is Phil Boyer and I do sit next to me. His name is Mike Svensson leech singer shortener demand the myth the legend I

Can only say that oh wait, I forgot leech singer of all bands past present future

Oh, yes, I only have a couple more times that I can say that yeah

So it's gonna be a long business card. You find gonna be yes. Yes. If you had business cards, if you like, okay

Here's the accordion

Fucking hell so let's up in this week, man. Oh, yeah

I mean, I think we've I don't think we've ever really I think it when we did like the 60s

When we did like the decades a while back

I think we covered Led Zeppelin, but yeah, we never really

Talked about like a Led Zeppelin record start no finish before like we have like in the early days

We've done like ecdc and all that stuff, but let's up and somehow

Somehow past the spy. I don't know

I mean it or maybe like on a scale of one to ten

Where are you as a Led Zeppelin fan? Are you like they're the gods? They're awesome or

every now and then

Oh my god, well

Put your on spot, didn't I? Yeah, you did actually

Every time I listen to Led Zeppelin. I'm thinking that I I

Like the more than I actually do

There is some yeah, but this is the thing with Led Zeppelin

Contrary to if we talk about like bands like the Beatles

Which I wish I loved more than I actually do

Led Zeppelin is one of those bands where it's so iconic rock and roll

So it's in my opinion because I have I have all the studio albums. I

Have them all they're in in in my bookshelves, of course

so

there is that but

Zeppelin isn't a band that I usually

Listen to that often. I

Have tidbits here and there on playlists

Yeah, but it's rarely that I pull out a Led Zeppelin album and play it

back back to back

Every now and then I play Zeppelin 2 though. Okay. Is that your favorite one out of I

Think I think so in my mind it is

But I'm not I'm I'm not sure if it I because it's like I I

We I

When I sit on listen to this album, it's it's dawning on me. Hey, hmm

I thought all of the

Songs on all of the albums were like the greatest thing ever, but it's not for me

Mm-hmm

but then all that aside there is the

musicianship

Which I think it's

It's out of this world

John Bonham Jimmy Page

John Paul Jones Robert plant

Fuck me

So yeah, yeah, there's

Some sort of history that it's hard to deny if you know what I mean

So that in mind I have to own all the albums

It's something that I do I bought a lot of them without actually knowing

What the hell I was doing

and and

But it's something that I

want to own them

Could it because it's us it's an important piece of music history if you know what I mean

Yes, I agree and that's why I wanted to ask you about that because they're they're legends

Some say they invented the heavy metal genre. I disagree with that. Oh, yeah

But they they are a hundred percent legendary

You can't argue their status in the music what they've done to the music industry as a whole like they

Will get into it as we go through the record, but this debut record is is really something else now before we get into the record

I'm gonna ask you two things first. Yes. Yeah

Since you brought it up you brought up the Beatles. Have you heard the new song? Yes thoughts

And ugly

Since I'm a history buff it's it's a it's a

It's a tidbit of history

Mm-hmm right there and then I mean they managed to discover something that no one ever knew existed

And they made it into a thing with AI and

it's

But it's it's like I told you before I wish I love the Beatles more than I actually do

But it's I listen to it's it's it's not a bad song

Beatles is not a bad band

But it's not your liver. No

Well

Queen is not my flavor at all

The Beatles I know songs of course are no Queen songs, but I I much rather listen to the Beatles than than Queen

Actually

You know what? Oh

Man, I yeah, the Queen thing is interesting to me that you're not a Queen fan

But yeah, but I agree with you that I I didn't think the song was all that great

I didn't think we needed that song although Beatles fans are probably like over the moon on this thing

Yeah

What I find fascinating was how this song was constructed from a because I'm a big technical guy

I'm big into AI right now. I've already created like four GPT's in between

Chet GPT going down and stuff like that

So I'm big into what AI can do for creators, especially small creators like me and you where we can

Get on a level of the big boys without having million dollar budgets, right?

So I'm a big fan of what AI can do and it's inch like what what are we gonna see you from like

A band that we're gonna have next week like what what we're in the what's in the vaults

That we can now bring to life that we probably couldn't before

Like are we gonna get new music from all these older bands that aren't together and maybe the band members are dead and stuff like that

Are we gonna be able to resurrect?

Some old Ronnie Dio songs that you know, he just had some vocals on tape

But then maybe a little bit of something here and there, but can we have more like a full song?

Are we gonna see a brand new Dio album in the future or EP or something like that?

That's kind of what excites me about this Beatles song more than itself. Yeah. Yeah

Yeah, well, I

Agree to you. I agree with you

But it's it's not my place to say if it's a good song or not since I'm not into the band but but

as a

As a piece of history, I think it's important it is

Yeah, like I said, I think Beatles fans

I think I saw a post by Philip Shouse who's been on the show many times

You know, he's a huge Beatles fan and he said he loved the song

So I think if you're a Beatles fan you you you like it

I you know, it's I like some Beatles songs, but I'm like you. I'm not a huge fan

You know, I wouldn't call myself like oh wow. Hey

No, you know, I got to get the I got to get the whole collection and and all that and keeping like I'm just not that way but

Going back to Led Zeppelin. Yes. Have you seen the video of Robert Plant singing?

Which McCulloch I forget the song now stairway to heaven stairway to heaven. Thank you. Have you seen that?

And and what do you think about that?

I

Thought the players were a bit I

Don't know weak. Yes

I was in my head I I struggle with

diplomacy

Yeah

Now I thought thought the playing was horrible

Yeah, I actually thought

Plants voice was not all that great either. No, I mean to be fair the dudes like probably pushing close to 80 by now, right? Yeah

So but and also is recorded on a mobile phone, you know in a fucking barn

That's what it looks like true

So we actually don't know it will we don't know he could be using an

iPhone and and those motherfuckers

You know, you know how it is. Yeah, I know

Yeah, but the the the thing that struck me what was hope hopefully the guitar player was at interpreting the song

I did it didn't seem like it. It was

a thing that he did in in a different way and

Robert is so professional so

He would be able to sing over that

I

Don't know what what he was trying to do with the guitar player. I actually don't know but I felt felt bad for Robert

I really felt bad. It was I mean, I've seen

Have you seen the thing where?

What the fuck they already they call the both of them the heart sisters now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I did see that went

Yeah, would you do that with Jason Bonham and and the choir and and that was that was fucking awesome

Yeah, that was and that guitar player. I mean he he did his thing even though he's not Jimmy Page because

Even though you try to do

a

song

Justice with playing the parts that Jimmy do you you couldn't even

Imagine to be in

It's you're gonna be a cover artist no matter what you do no matter what you do because you can't play it

to some extent

people try to to

Like mimic Jimmy Page Jimmy Hendricks or whatever, but there is something in there

It's a feeling it's um, I don't know what it is but but DNA man

It's it's in there. They have that guitar blood or something. Yes. It's it's it's in there and and

You can try to replicate it, but unless you have it. It's yeah not going anywhere. No. No. Yeah

so I I don't know a in all fairness to the Robert plant I I

I did I didn't look at the whole video because I

No, because I could get through it. No, so I don't know it was painful. I got all excited, but it's like yeah

And people are getting all excited over

Video filmed on a mobile phone. I mean it's oh

This is Robert plant and even though the naysayers go. Oh my god. He can't see anymore

How do we know? I mean his his his phone

Could be out of whack the I mean the acoustic thing in in the in the fucking barn could we be total whack?

I mean the guitar player plays like I don't know we actually don't know what went down

True my my problem with plants

vocals were

And much like a lot of these guys do David Lee Roth and I'm not putting those two in the same league by any means

But they sing it as though it's a different song

Oh, yeah, the energy that he used to sing it was not the same and no again. He's a lot older than

He was when he originally did that. Yeah, but it was sung more like a

like a Frank Sinatra kind of

Thing and it just it for me it was like what are you doing to the song like so I feel like the butchering was

Equally spread out between everybody involved. Hmm granted. I agree with you the playing was

Not there at all, but the way plants sing that song

it was like

He's saying it like he was trying to cover it and make it his own and I'm like but it is yours

It is yours. So you just

You know, I mean, I don't I don't mind a little bit of you know when it's live a little bit of yeah

I know taking some liberties here and there, but it's like dude

It's like that wasn't even stairway to heaven man. It might have been the same lyrics and maybe a little bit of the same music, but yeah

that was

But I was it was disappointing. Yeah, but leave that for now

Let's let's leave it and let's get into something that is not disappointing and that is the debut record

Yes from this little band. We've been talking about called Led Zeppelin and

It's released in 1969 you and I weren't even fricking born yet

when this came out and

Nine songs in 44 minutes. Yes, and this album when I'll get to it at the end

But I think this is an extraordinary

extraordinary album

for many reasons

But let's start with track one good times bad times. What do you think? Yes?

Oh, I like the intro and how the drums ease its way like through the whole song

Bonham's drumming is I mean it's always been exceptional and

I like the bluesy feel of the whole song and

Yeah, and the whole album for that matter. I think it's a great song. I really do. Yeah, I'm with you

I love the way the drums just kind of creeping. Yeah, just a little tap here to tap there

Yeah, just they kind of creeps in and and you listen to this and on the surface. It's kind of a simple song

Yeah, then you listen to Bonham's drumming and you're like Jesus Christ, man

There's there's some there's some crazy shit. Oh, yeah, yeah underneath the covers man. There's some crazy shit going on

Yeah, and I threw out the years

Broken down some of the stuff that that he does and it's it's totally amazing

I've so many times listen to to him play in my headphones and and try to figure out

what the hell the man is doing and and

When you get to a point where you just because I since I'm I'm a foremost a drummer

I started out playing the drums. I very often listen to the drums when I hear a new song from a new band or or

Whatever

When I listen to music I listen to the drums

so I

When I went through this album to and listen to it

It's all like I I discovered parts that I that I haven't heard in a long time

Which I think it's great and and you hear him doing all those small tidbits here and there and which is a

Way for him to lift everything up if you know what I mean

I'm doing my part also like Jimmy do I mean I

No wonder that John Bonham is is like

Best drummer. Yeah, not the not the best for say but one of the greatest

So not see okay

See for me I look at him as this guy that does what needs to get done

And he just doesn't do it in a he's not like the animal and comes out there and he's like wild

No, he can do that when he needs to right? Yes, but it's it's these little subtle things that

Just at like he knows the role of the drums and yeah, he does it to

Perfection so for me he is one he is the greatest drummer. Yeah, but you disagree in being a drummer

That's interesting. So who who do you think is is better? Who do you think does a better job?

the

But but it's it's it speaks to me in a different way if you know what oh, okay, okay?

Yeah, all right. Yeah, I get you so so he's not your favorite drummer

One of them actually one of them. Yeah, okay, I really dig

Both Carmen and Vinnie Aposy I

Really dig cozy power but but I grew up with those guys if you know what I mean

I didn't grow up with with Bonham. That's I mean

It's sort of like you have this textbook

That in school that that you know this this is this is how it's supposed to be

It's it's a it's a it's a description of how to play drums and the guy who wrote the description is John Bonham

but if you want to

discover something else and go God and a limb and try to create your own thing and

You you go with with players like Vinnie Aposy

Carmen aposy

cozy Powell

Tommy Aldrich and so forth

You cannot recreate John Bonham because he's like sort of like larger than life if you know what I mean

so so but

It's it's a tricky it's a tricky thing it is he's one of the greatest he is one of the greatest

Maybe he is the greatest

But it's it's sort of like when every other person

Wants to talk about drummers all they have to say is John Bonham John Bonham John Bonham John Bonham John Bonham and

which puts

The scale so high that that all the other drummers are like way down I

Like a drummer called Ronnie Tut who played with Elvis

I

Like the style of Jean Krupa who is a jazz drummer. I mean they those guys were like

Epic in in in a certain way if you know what I mean, but of course I agree with you. I agree with I don't disagree at all

So that's it there we go. Yes the lowdown on

Mike's feelings towards John Bonham. Yeah, you weren't taking it back at this

Little yeah, yeah, cuz I mean for me, you know, yeah

I was gonna say I look at like the top two drummers in rock are

Bonham and Neil Perth

Mmm, and I know you're not a rush fan

I tried to get him to do a rush album this week

Yeah

No, and he's like no I try to get him to do 2112 because I thought that could be like a black album kind of fun

Show but he's like no no no no, but this is better though

This is better going kind of going back to the to the 60s with this one. So yeah, all right

Let's leave the drumming behind and hit. Oh, yeah, one of my fucking favorites on this record

Babe, I'm gonna leave you. Yes

What do you think man a

Light of vibe they got going on but it's way too long in my opinion. Oh, it's not long enough. What are you talking about?

I

Pages guitar work is stellar plants vocals too

Even though it's a bit whiny

Imparts but but it's it's a good song. It's a little too long in my opinion

Wow, okay

Well, it's the first of I think three covers on this record

and

I think it's so fucking bluesy it starts out mellow with the acoustic and Rob just singing

It's kind of like they're on up the front porch drinking hooch

You know and just jamming along and then and then it kicks in and I just you you said use the word whiny for Rob's vocals

on this one and I I think it's I think he does a stellar job in this and

The the interlude before it gets heavy just after the two-minute mark is just awesome. It just speaks to me

Yeah, I think it's it's got a lot of tempo changes it is I think it's one

It's one of the I think this one and the next two are all both like close to six and a half minutes

Hmm, which is another like okay?

It's 1969 and they're doing these six plus minute songs. Yeah, I'm a time when

They're supposed to be two to three. So it's interesting

Well, wasn't there's a time when liking to end and the late sixties were or

People are smoking it up and playing long songs

Yeah, I think we were transitioning to that but as far as singles and stuff

There was still like there's always the radio edit that had to be under four minute songs

Yeah, if you wanted your song on the radio it had to be it couldn't be six seven minutes like it can today

right so

Anyway, so yeah, I think

It is it is a long song, but I dig it man. It's for me. It's not long enough

All right, cool. No track three. You shook me. Yes. Well, it takes some song. Yes

I mean, I like the thing that were

White musician lifted off the blues to a new level. I mean they didn't get credit

at all at some point

but I mean both the Rolling Stones and Zeppelin did it and

And which I think it's great. It's sort of like a hippie blues feel to this. I I

Think that that they got it down Zeppelin both Zeppelin and stones how you interpret songs like this

I think it's it's there is something there there is something there. I think it's a it's a

It's a great song

Yeah, I think the song definitely has a little bit of everything in it. I mean, yeah, you go from

That mellow ending of the last one to this heavy bluesy guitar with the drums in it

It was it's just awesome Rob's vocals. I think really showcase what he can do in this one

Yeah shows his range from bluesy to heavy to raspy to whatever he needs to do now

My ears aren't as trained as they probably should be after listening to music all this time

but it was the guitar actually trying to mimic our harmonica in

The one part of this song because I feel like that's what it was doing and then we actually had harmonica come in a little bit later

Yeah, I was just hearing wrong or if it was just if it was both a harmonica and a guitar

But I feel like that Jimmy was trying to mimic a lot of her with yeah, I think you're wrong to something in there

I think so

That would easily be

Stuff like Zeppelin did

Mm-hmm. Yeah

Yeah, the keyboard solo

Makes it makes me think I'm in some Baptist church in the south. I mean that was that was just awesome

and the war between

Rob and Jimmy is crazy, you know when they do the whole

Jimmy plays and plant screams and stuff. Yeah, I love when bands do that shit

Yeah, and they yeah, great song. They did that often live too, which I think it's really cool

Provising a lot live with those kinds of things. Yeah

Yeah, that's one of my biggest regrets that I never got to see Zeppelin

Yeah, I was born. I always say I was born like 10 15 years too late because there's all these bands

Like Led Zeppelin and black Sabbath that I wanted to see in their heyday in the 60s and 70s and shit and

Just too young

This was released before we were even born. Yeah. Yeah, which tells you the power of this though

Oh, yeah talking about it. Yeah, like 55 some on your 50. Yeah later, right?

So yeah, yeah, and it's not and talking about power number four dasting confused

my

I mean, I mean, I mean, I don't know I mean there's a song this is a song for me that it's it's

It's a totally awesome song. I mean it's got if

You shook me had everything that you wanted in a blues you feel song

This has it all when it comes to rock and roll if it takes it to another level. It just brings it up

It just takes it up. Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's

Fucking insane to listen I remember listening to this song back in the day because it was

sort of like it was in a movie I think and and it's it was it got played in in

certain ways that I remember on radio or what whatnot and

You get an introduction to

wireless

Lasseplen is considered one of the best rock and roll bands

ever

It's fucking insane the vocals the drumming the guitar. It's got everything man. It's also

It's also fitted together if you know what I mean. Mm-hmm song is like together with the it's

You're not gonna leave everything to chance it's it's I

Don't know I don't know they don't make them like this one anymore. No, I mean the haunting riff is Rob belts out the lyrics

I mean, yeah, it's so dark and disconcerting and and it's it's oh my god

And the the the trippy psychedelic part around the two-minute mark. Yeah, and Jimmy

The what Jimmy does with the guitar during that is just fucking nuts

It is and I know he likes to use a bow, but this just so sounds so much like a violin

It's it's scary like if I had to guess if I didn't know I'd be like that's a violin right there. Yeah, yeah, it's not like

Jimmy Page I feel even though he gets a lot of props for being like one of the best guitarist

I do feel he's a bit underrated because I call him like Jimmy number two because he's just this side of Jimmy Hendrix

Yeah, oh right the stuff that he did and his playing and what you just listen to this album

And you can hear the range that this guy's got and how we can play and what he can make that fucking guitar do it's it's

It's pretty incredible. Yeah

Yeah, it's it's just it

Just a phenomenal song and and it's I

Used to not really appreciate the song. I used to think this song was a little bit overhyped and I heard a lot of people say

Well, you just you got to take some acid or some drugs or something to

Appreciate it and I'm like if you got to take drugs to appreciate a song then something's wrong. Yeah, that's not quite right

You know, I mean, I don't need to drop an acid to go listen to Inna God of Davidia

I can I can appreciate that song for what it is

Without you know, yeah

Without doing I might drink a whiskey during it, but

you know, I

Don't think I need to go drop acid to listen to this stuff, right?

And I don't think that's gonna make it better

So no, and I don't think it was their intention that you were supposed to drop some acid or do some drugs

When listen to to this album, I mean, I mean, it's I don't know but Dacian confused man

Like you mentioned earlier about the musicianship. Yeah, right here demonstrates that perfectly. Oh, yeah, like how they all play together

Right and one guy that that really we haven't talked about yet is John Paul Jones. Oh, yeah

Just a great player. Oh, you know with the keys in the the the bass and all that just a great great player

Yeah, it's a really smart dude when when it comes to

Laying down some the bass tracks and I think I'm

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that that he has all the harmonies down

He knows exactly what to do and when to do it and I think he

That's the way they progress together as a band. He was like in there in that moment and and put his

50 cent down with all the I mean, it's it's it's a great. It's a great bass player for sure

100% yes, all right. Let's flip the record and go to truck five. Oh, yeah, I'm is gonna come

Your time is gonna come. I have a hard time with this one. I think it's way too much organ

but the the playing I

I

Struggle with because this is I have to remind myself this is a it. This is a debut album and

Sometimes I get like

When I listen to a song like this, well, it's way too much of this

I don't understand what kind of song this is what what are they?

I mean Dyson confused and then now your time is gonna come. I don't get it

The vocals are good, of course

But it's sort of like the do they want to do a Beatles thing with that hippie sound with sergeant pepper or what and

Then all of a sudden it occurred to me. Holy crap. This is a debut album from a band. Nobody knows about and

And and they experiment experiment with stuff like this. Holy shit

How do how dare they?

But on and on the other hand, how fucking cool is this?

That you don't you don't care you do a song like this and and and

You have dazed and confused and then you got stuff

Before that song and and afterwards

Mm-hmm. We're gonna talk about but it's yeah, so who might just

Yeah, yeah, I mean for me. I I love the the the organ like you said I

And like I was saying he doesn't get enough credit for this kind of playing and stuff like that

I I think for me the only good part of the song is the beginning part is that

You know the rest of it. I mean, it's a well-arranged song on the surface. It's a it's a good song. Yeah, it's just

It's a little too folksy. Yeah for me

It's not yeah, and I'm not a big fan of folk like I was never Janice Chaplin and all that like I that wasn't that wasn't my flavor

You know, what's his name Bob Dylan and all that?

Yeah, that was never my my flavor

Nope, but

Yeah, it's a it's a decent song and then you kind of alluded to the next one black mountain side

Yes, like this is another one like what the fuck is this? Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You see what what what what is this? Yeah

We don't cuz we don't know maybe we should smoke a joint or something to get it

I think I think it to get through these two songs you might have to yeah

Guitar work is tell or it's it's I

Don't know I mean I don't get me wrong on on the their song

Your time is gonna come. I love the organ, but it's way too much. It's like this black mountain side

It's it's it's way too much of I don't know what whatever

And India vibe with I can see John Lennon and and Paul McCartney and George Harrison singing around with it

with this guru thing and

All of a sudden page and plan comes in and and they sit there together. Hey, man

You're from friend. You're from England too, man. Let's smoke in me if you got him. I don't know

I don't know what's going on

Yeah, maybe yeah, man, maybe we're not supposed to get it. I don't know

Yeah, you know, it's it was the time of

experimentation which you know back then bands could do that and it's yeah, you know, I

Mean it's it's the time of the hippie like you were saying so, you know, why not do something like this?

It's yeah, if you can why not, you know, who knows?

I'm sure there's upland fans out there that like him if you like these two let us know what we're not getting but yeah

Yeah, they're just not my they're not my flavor. I think they're well done songs, but that's not

I don't know not what not what I want on a let's upland record. I would say that

Communication breakdown it's always the same

It is it's always the same. Yeah, I

It's it's a great song. I like the guitar riffs and and the vocals are superior and

I like the the choir thingy at the end. That's that's really cool

Other than that

This is one of those songs that everybody's like all this is like one of the greatest

Zuppelin songs and yeah, and the other thing. I mean, it's a good song

I don't think it deserves to be in the top five of Led Zeppelin songs, but it's it's a decent song

You know, at least they got they got back into it. Yeah, you know with this one and we didn't have more of whatever that was on the last two

And we talked about the Beatles earlier. This one kind of has a little bit of a Beatles vibe. Yeah. Yes, like just

not the vocals obviously, but I

Don't know for some reason I just I hear some Beatles in there

Like this could be on the white album or something, you know, a little heavier like the white album is a little heavier with

Helter Skelter and stuff. I feel like this could have followed Helter Skelter or something like that. Yeah, so yeah

But yeah, not one of my favorites. I mean, it's okay. I'm not gonna skip it like I did the last two but no, you know

Alright

Yeah, another Willie Dixon tune, yes, I can quit you baby

And this song is more true to the bluesy thing that that Zeppelin

Do and and do well. So I I I get why they do

Willie Dixon songs

and

This is the way that I want to hear Zeppelin take on a true

Classic blue song that because they do it so great page is

Page playing is it's I mean, it's so freaking great. I mean, I don't know what to say

Yeah, what he does with this is incredible

It is it's incredible because it's a cover song but you take it to the next level

You want to show the world that that I can quit you baby was written by a

black musician called Willie Dixon and

This is the way we interpret it and we put this much to it and we do this

We I mean, it's

It's insane. Yeah, and and and and this is the pure awesomeness of Bonnet's drumming

She's gonna say yeah, it's it's fucking insane, but this is

I mean

We get like white three songs that are

Confusing to us

And it's only nine songs. This is what I got growing up

Uh, it's sort of like oh, there are some songs here that are really cool

But I never sat down and listened to Bonnham's drumming

The way I did in in ladder years if you know, right, right

So it's not been with me. So I can I cannot say

that

Don't get me wrong Bonnham is a

Fucking awesome drummer, but it's it's sort of like

You have to sit down and break

Down everything that he does and not in a song like communication breakdown

Not in your time is gonna come

Uh, you have to listen to dastin confuse you have to listen to good times bad times

You have to listen to I mean

Yeah, you know what I mean you have you have to pick them to listen to right, right?

Yeah, yeah, because some of it's just regular rock and roll like any other drummer could do that

Yeah, but there were parts of this song that I went back because I'm like

Wait, what the fuck did he do just right there in that part? You see what the fuck? I'm like

Yeah, that no man. There was like an extra something there that shouldn't have like

Yeah, it's it's and it's that kind of stuff that just levels up the music that Zeppelin did

It's those little touches is that little something something the Bonham throws in there

That you're not expecting and you're like holy shit. That's awesome

Yeah, so but but it's I can quit you baby, man

Fuck good song great song

Really great song. Yeah

Yes

How many more times we're gonna?

I there's a thing with this this is like the first song I've ever heard with Zeppelin

And it was it was from uh danish tv show

um

Danish tv show times two because it was like a danish tv show back in the 80s playing

From another day in Danish tv show from from like 69 or 70. Okay, uh, so this is the first song

I've ever heard of it Zeppelin and I I thought it was really cool because robot plant introduces the band

And you can hear it goes like and I hear it in this song too

I may introduce the band to you on bass guitar jump all y'all

And on drums jump on him and on guitar jimmy page

And then all of a sudden and they start

Coming into the song and it's so fucking epic how they build it up

And you can hear a small portion of it in this song when I listen to it on the album

uh, so maybe that

Is the reason why I think this is a great song

Yeah, how it progresses and I love the guitar solo and and

And jump all the way by us by bass playing fuck me

But but it's it's way too long. It could be like for five minutes instead of like eight something like that

Yeah, yeah, it is a long song. I I agree there, but yeah the opening groove with rob's background wailing and stuff and

Yeah, it's um, yeah, it's an interesting song. I like some of it. I don't like all of it. Um,

The tempo change of the two minute mark is cool

Um, and with the chaos of the guitar, it's just it's it's freaking amazing

um

Rob's vocals at the four minute ish mark I have wow just wow especially with the guitar and drums in the back

Down great way to close the record. That's yes the word what I have on my notes here because it's

It's it is it's because we talk about this man since we started doing this about opening the record and closing the record

and uh, I would say

You know, I I think they opened it a bit weak

But they closed it strong and and there was a lot of strong songs in the middle a couple of weak ones

But but yeah, I mean for a debut record

It is um

Final thoughts final thoughts

um

Final thoughts it's I would it

It's sort of like

If if I didn't know better it was I would say sort of like a

seven out of a ten

six seven out of a ten

but

This is a debut album from

1969

With this young English dudes

Don't care about fat or fashion or what's in and what's not

they do a record

the way they want to do it

and

It turns out great. So I have to

History wise and because it's a debut album give it a ten out of ten because it's daring

It's freaking daring. I wouldn't

I I I couldn't even if I tried

To do a record like this or I mean be so bold if you know what I mean

I wouldn't have I wouldn't have the nerves to do it

And those guys here

They did they did it. They did it. They did it. Yes

I I I agree ten for ten because what they did on this record from

Blending multiple genres together. Yes

Um, and and they didn't do that just on this record. They've done that throughout the whole their whole career, right? Yeah, the whole

You know string of records they did this with

Um, you know the blues are prominent, but you know, you can't really call this band a blues band

You know, can you call them a rock band? Okay, maybe can you call them a metal band? I don't think so

Oh, um, but what they did with this record and and you know to have

I mentioned this earlier, you know three six plus minute songs on a record on a debut record in 1969

Knowing they were never going to get airplay or chances were they weren't

um

You know, it just eight and like we just said the eight and a half minute the final song on here

It's just like holy shit

um

And then if that wasn't enough

They had not one

But three covers on this record three and it wasn't like they just sort of

Uh

Covered it they made it their own. Oh, yeah, like you were saying about um

The the willy dixon one of the willy dixon ones was like they they rewrote it and made it this rock blues

Frickin masterpiece, you know, so I think it has to get a 10 for 10

Yes, just because it was a well arranged well produced

It just the talent on here is just amazing. It's yeah, I totally agree

totally agree

How good is this we agree is on something. I know look at that it took Led Zeppelin to bring us together

And could you imagine doing rush it would be oh god. Yeah, you'd be like no no

I don't like this one. I don't like this one. I don't like this one. I don't like this one

You see

All right, oh

Shit should we tell people what we're doing for the final show or should we leave that as a surprise?

Oh, that's a hard one. Yeah

Yeah, you're the boss you tell them

You want me to tell them? Yeah, of course. You sure? Okay. No

No, okay

Okay, it's gonna be good. It's gonna be epic. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be

We will give you a clue it's gonna be one of the greatest heavy metal bands that ever walk the face of the earth

But with one of but with one of the greatest voices

in metal

that

Walk the face of the earth

That's a good hint. You just gave it away

I gave it away. I gave it away. Well, I guess I know what it is. But so yeah, but

Yeah, so that that's gonna be the final show for next time and uh, we're also also stay tuned because

Uh, we're gonna have an announcement of what comes after
