  • Sorry but Santana & Cornell > Plant & Page

  • Good cover but they need to slow it down.

  • I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm not much of a santana fan (and I'm from Mexico) but Cornell owned this song

  • This is what Led Zepp would've sounded like if they would've had a male lead singer.

  • @einbischen **** YOU!

  • I love Led Zep , I love Soundgarden , but no one can PLAY this son like Led Zepp.am sure that Chris Cornell is a better singer than Robert but this is not a good cover.....

  • @BELEMGER IDIOT

  • @JS8700 Fuck ur Mother!!!!

    

  • horrible solo!!!!!!

    

  • chris makes everything better

  • Wait a minute, after the breakdown no one can sing "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE" as Robert Plant's vocal puissance

  • Awsome!!!

  • what.the.hell.was.that.

  • WOW I love it, it's a just a tiny bit different but so awesome! Santana, amazing! Cornell's vocals out of this world.

  • In my opinion, this and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are the best tracks on the album.

    Santana, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles forever! <3

  • This is the best song on the CD

  • No one beats Robert Plant...

  • I love Santana, and I LOVE Chris Cornell, they rocked the song, but not close to what the original lineup did.

  • Chris Cornell sounds like a man, Robert Plant sounds like a little bitch sometimes.

  • @DONDIVA1969 on behalf of every led zeppelin fan, fuck you

  • amazing!!!!

  • It's unusual for the remake to be better than the original. This is much better than the Led /Zep version. Sorry, Chris Cornell is tops, Santanta as well.

  • this is good.but it's far away from the original.

  • Nobody will ever top robert plant (in his good days, since plant lost his voice by late 70s) so... yeah Chris sounds great in this tune

  • Great cover...but NOBODY will ever top Robert Plant. Oh yeah...I'm a huge Chris Cornell fan so I can safely say that when it comes to my two fav. vocalists...one still stands on top. Much love and keep rockinChris.

  • That's a rare example of a guy that aged with decency, dignity and respect.

    Santana you are the man!

  • Nothing beats the original. But this is fucking awesome.

  • holy fuck! *dies from too much awesomeness*

  • My favourite guitarist playing my favourite Led Zeppelin song. Love it!

  • Thunderous guitar with a lightning voice = best damn cover I've heard in forever!

  • Legendary.

  • Carlos played the shit out of that guitar and Chris owned the song!

  • the only thing that matters is if you like it and enjoyed it..I did..nuff said

  • A cover is only successful when it could easily stand alone as it's own song. This does that pretty well

  • heeellll yeaaaahhhh

  • Powerful!!!

    

  • i enjoyed it at the start but then it just kept going in overdrive. needed to slow down more and let you dwell in the moment. the best part in the original was when when everyone stops playing and plant goes "waaaaay dooown insiiiide... womaaaaaaaan ...you neeed...... LOOOOOOOOOVE". i dont think cornell did that part well

  • Comment removed

  • @lyndsayiu5 I don't think Cornell is playing guitar.. nor Page is singing the original. I could be wrong though.

  • @odsmk oops, yeah I meant Plant. And yeah, Santana is playing guitar of course.

  • of course its not the original, and IMO not as good as it BUT pretty fine cover nonetheless

  • Cornel Is a monster! holy fucking god!

  • Chris Cornell = Greatest Singer Ever!

  • Chris Cornell has a freakin awesome voice. He should team up with Jack white, and find a bassist and a drummer and bring back classic rock.

  • there can never be a better combination than this in this millennium.!!!!

  • there can never be a better combination than this in this millenium.!!!!

  • the drums are what seem off to me. you need bonzo in there lol

  • Avantiiiiiiiiiiiiii, per chi vuole Santana al primo posto tra i migliori chitarristi di tutti i tempiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii<3 Carlos, come te non c'è nessuno, mi fai venire i brividi, solamente tu!!!!!!!! Sei tu la divinità della musica, altro che Marley, il tuo è un talento nel vero senso della parola, sei sempre originale, magico, SCIAMANO<3

  • santana is a hack, and this whole album is a peice.

  • Cornell KILLS it! \m/

  • oooo santana love

  • ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR THIS COVER.

  • Hello! Where is Santana?!

  • @shemroon on the guitar douchebag

  • @shemroon i dont think you realise but santana is most known for his amazing guitar playing

  • You know what I like about Jimmy Page? He knows the use of silence. Carlos Santana is all scales all the time. Technically proficient, of course, but I like the song because it's a good song, not because Santana had to play a five minute solo.

  • @MegaBlackDays page doesnt know silence. hes the best riff writer ever, but a lot of his lead guitar is fairly sloppy, fast, and with little spacing. Santana, on the other hand, writes average riffs/songs, but his leads are very well phrased, and he uses more restraint than anyone else when he plays lead/solos

  • @banj0mak3r  There is nothing "average" about Santana's riffs or songs. Just sayin'.

  • @MegaBlackDays The songs not even 5 minutes long (this version at least)

  • While i appreciate the faster rythm and Cornell's vocals, there's one problem with this cover: SANTANA IS PLAYING! Page made it simple and beautiful, but Santana has to add this mini-solo here, this mini-solo there, HE CAN'T STAND QUIET FOR GOD'S SAKE!

  • @jevimetal13 its santana's goddamn record. he didnt write the song, so thats what he chose to do to make it his own. page was the leader of zep, not plant, thus homage to page, and tweaks of his part are more important than the replication of plants vocals. If cornell were phrasing differently, santana would know to give him space.

  • I FUCKING LOVE SANTANA AND CORNELL!

  • THIS SUCKS !!!!! CARLOS ISNT NO JIMMY PAGE

  • alll the elements matter nthats why its so great!!!

  • This album total crap, but 'Whole lotta love' and 'Sunshine of your love' are awesome! :D

  • @Sitzlaolabar there whole lotta more, listen it again

  • Happy Birthday Carlos & Chris!!!!!!!!

  • Wow this version is pretty awesome :D Carlos Santana you are an absolute legend :D xx

  • led zeppelin is way better !!!!!!!!

  • @danielsoferman i cant find any of led zeppelin thats not live

  • Only Santana's guitar can sing!

  • Well I liked it! Downloading the whole album right now \m/

  • Chris Cornell is a genius!

  • Very good-sounding cover, but not as good as good as the original. It's just too shouty to me.

  • Chris Cornell is a Rock God.

  • this is batter than the origional!

  • @Morgo3Q  fuck off ¬¬

  • @eddiesting2027 eat a dick, it is

  • @Morgo3Q yes, but the original have the original magic xD

  • awesome cover!

    Chris rocks. 

  • it didnt come out too great i can admit that, im a hugeee santana fan i have all of his music. still no need to hate, they didnt "ruin" anything cause all those old songs are still there! my doors, zeppelin, r still sittin on the shelf i can listen to it whenever! santana just wanted to do a project cause he has the money for it, you think he cares for your criticizm? hes sitting in his yacht drinkin out of an 1800 bottle with still better guitar skill than 90% of guitarists. you do the math.

  • Luv Chris's Voice!! .....they're damn Good!!

  • o.k,wow,best cover ever for led zeppelin

  • Chris Cornell is one of the very few singers who could pull this off this without embarrassing themselves. But I like Robert much better.

  • epic...chris cornell is well worthy of stepping into plant's shoes

  • chris cornell is a fuckin voice monster

    i love it !!!

  • people that are dissing santana's playing are not listening to this loud enough

  • Chris Cornell you never seem to amaze and definitely love the upbeat tempo too

  • my mum don't like this "never-ending-guitar-solo" music

    :D

  • Not only are all of your mothers dirty whores, but this is the laziest and most uninspired album I have heard in my life. Please, do not worry about responding to this. I am killing myself upon release of this album. It is over. You have all given in. Dave is too far away to save me now. Goodbye cruel, mediocre world.

  • loved it..listened to zep's one right after this..seems like chris is holding something back where as plant just lets loose everything he's got..just my opinion..loved this one too

  • well i must confess...didnt think i would like the vocals ( huge plant fan) but when the vocals kicked in i was impressed!!!

  • wow

    

  • If it is a good tune to begin with...I find it perfectly okay for covers...some may be crap..but Zepp reshaped old tunes themselves...being aware of music history..recognizing roots..the building blocks of music in general...

  • sick song...

  • amazing tribute to a great song. sugestion if one lame ass pop or rap singer makes a cover of this or any great rock song. complaint, but if Santana makes a cover and if it is as great as this one. just enjoy it. im sure the Zeps are not ofended by it.

  • This is one of the better covers on the album.. chris cornell was a good choice for a singer imo

  • @Rhoads5995 can't go wrong with Chris

  • I always find it hilarious that whenever someone covers a classic song, half the motherfuckers in the comment section ride it off without even listening to it. Come on. Even if you did not like the song, tastefully and respectfully state what you did not like, or did like. Like so: I prefer Page and Bonham's playing on the original, but I do like the faster pace, and VASTLY prefer Chris Cornell's vocals. But that is simply my opinion. Voila. Intelligence. Not: MY SHIT WASS BETR THAN THAT.

  • @1richards I always find it hilarious that when illiterate motherfuckers like you go on a rant, you can't even spell simple words. It's even more hilarious to read all the other illiterate morons' comments on Youtube, the world's gathering place for illiterate morons.

  • @7188181 How about you attack the actual meaning of my comment, instead of being snide and saying "illiterate" like you know what it means.

  • @1richards

    And my opinion is: Saying that Chris Cornell is a better vocalist than robert Plant is definitely inane O_o. C'mon, man, this is THE blues-rock singer. His voice is legendary. You cannot even compare him with Chriss cornell.

  • @1richards I respect your opinion dude. But, HOW THE HELL CAN YOU PREFER CHRIS VOICE BEFORE ROBERT PLANT'S?!?!?!

  • @briands1993 (this is 1richards, but I hooked up my youtube to my gmail, hence the different account name)

    anyway. I understand that I must be the insane minority with this opinion, but I just like Cornell better. I can always feel Plant's ego seeping through his voice. (Whether or not one likes his voice, I think his massive ego is kinda hard to deny. He once screamed "I'm a golden god!" across the Sunset Strip.) Cornell is one of my favorite vocalists ever, with less ego, so, I prefer him.

  • @briands1993 With Respect to robert plant, Chris Cornell does Robert Plant better then Robert Plant.

  • @mp3piratesavvy No one does Robert Plant better than Robert Plant, because there's only one Robert Plant. As no one does Chris Cornell better than Chris Cornell. They're very different.

  • @mp3piratesavvy LOL SANTANA COULDNT PLAY MARACAS FOR LED ZEPPELIN AND WHO IS THIS PHONY USING TONS OF DIGITAL EFFECTS TO MODIFY HIS VOICE THAT YOU CLAIM IS BETTER THAN PLANT DO ME A FAVOR AND GET YOUR EARS CHECKED. CHECK ANY TOP GUITARIST LIST AND NOT ONE WILL ANYONE HAVE SANTANA OVER PAGE SORRY TRY AGAIN.

  • @MrWildboy214 santana is the 11th best guitarrist of history, show some respect and go bicth somewhere else

  • @Renan003o according to who?

  • @2112Zeppelin you obviously are an ignorant and don't know a thing about music, Carlos Santana is a rock icon, and a pioneer by combinig rock, salsa and other styles... so stfu!!

  • @rmgshinobi Geez man there's no need to be so rude, I just said that i am not a huge

    Santana fan, that doesn't mean that I deny him as an influential and successful rockstar. Just because i have differing views on a muscian from you means I'm ignorant?

  • @MrWildboy214 Dude i fucking love Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant but a cover is a cover and i think Cornell does a really good job, this is definatly better than a lot of other Zeppelin covers that i've heard.

  • @MrWildboy214 Who cares? Santana has more of a right to cover Zeppelin than just about anybody else, he is a rock legend in his own right.

  • @MrWildboy214 Dude, mellow out brother. lol. Chris Cornell needs ZERO digital effects done, as he as a four octave vocal range. I honestly am not that big of a fan of Santana, but

  • @mp3piratesavvy 100% Chris Cornell is the Rock voice of this generation :)

  • @1richards By far the greatest comment I have ever seen. I wish people were as respectful as you. So many people are rude and disgusting. You are a genius. Thank you.

  • @1richards ummm. just one thing, robert plant FUCKIN OWNS this...literally and figuratively. chris cornell does not even hold a candle to the sheer raw talent of plant...just sayin

  • @clydeholbrook ...you are right, but the guitar here is f.*.g good !!! LES

  • @clydeholbrook so this is is a race between santana vs. page , plant vs cornell, ? i just enjoy both,

  • well in my humble Zeppelin saturated hearts opinion-a lil too sped up for my tastes and drums seem "poppy"..i think chris cornell is phenominal singer and very qualified to give Plants tunes a go,but he leaves me wanting him to freakin drink the necter and friggin bring it!!..the guitar work was.. very good,but somehow the dark,mystical,delveing into mans soul quality was simply absent...still ive always wanted to hear chris do zeppelin..not bad at all..just give it more..bleed dammit!!

  • @whisperinwindcried67 agreed ..listen to both right one after another line by line..i feel chris is holding something back but plant just lets loose..donno if that makes sense or not...and totally agree about the dark-ish tinge missing from the guitars..this one seems more...umm...hip !!

  • go chris

  • SUPRASANTANATURAL .

    all thumbs vo santana . :D

  • SUENA CHINGONA!!!

  • 23 people KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. This is amongst the worst tracks off of the worst album ever released.

  • @nirdlaremag , I created something better than this about 20 minutes ago--and then I flushed it.

  • You should all read his statements on GW regarding this album.

  • Nice, but I really wished he did the actual main guitar solo in the song instead of making it his own..

  • cornell has the coolest voice ever,with maybe plant or cobain=)

  • Best Zeppelin cover ever

  • This is.......maybe the worst thing i've ever heard. No no, I take that back--back in black from this album is the worst thing i've ever heard. Ugh. Please stop, Carlos.

  • @kidshazam Create something better than this first. Until then, you keep your filthy mouth shut.

  • @kidshazam For the record, Riders on the Storm is worse. Because it's a bad song recorded as if by the living dead. I've never heard anything more mailed in.

  • you cant dup zep but not bad !! i like santana dont get me wrong!!

  • this is fucking brilliant !!!

  • for 22 peoples its the first time they see a guitar -.-'

    amazing <3

  • I am a huge fan of Santana and Chris Cornell but they should have stayed away from this song. Led Zeppelin just can't be covered.

  • @lukeiamyourfaja guess what they just did it and was awesome job

  • @jaguaron007 There both great musicians but no Led Zeppelin cover ever does justice to the original

  • this singer is the new bon scott it toke 30 years but we fond him

  • The singer sounds like Bon Scott in some parts.

  • Im my opinion EPIC fail. Santana blows the solo, no not because of note for note recall, just bad choices in my estimate. Cornell on the other hand does this justice. Too bad Carlos stepped all over the way down inside part. Also, not a good feel or tempo for this song. It needed to be slower than the original not FASTER. He turned a sex groove into a polka, lol.

  • umm this all versions of this album is rare.....whith other escence at the original songs, U_U

  • this is AWESOME

  • @MadMagican I was talking about the guitarist, That being Jimmy Page.

  • OK! It's different from the original, but it stil ROCKS. Isn't that the point....

  • Fucking awesome

  • This is a great version, but nothing can touch Page and Plant.

  • Something about Santana I never liked...

    And I used to *HATE* Chris Cornell's voice. But I found that I couldn't help but like a few of his songs...so I finally gave up and started to officially like him. :) Especially "Fell On Black Days".

    Oh, my point: I can't Believe how good Chris Cornell sounds on this version of "Whole Lotta Love"!!!--Wow!

  • @FreeFavl liston to audioslave

  • @FreeFavl how does one go about hating Cornell's voice? He seriously has one of the most powerful voices ever (and he had insane range for a baritone in the 90s too, good that he recovered nowadays)

  • This is better than Led Zeppelin, but it can't beat Tina Turner's version

  • @SubmarinerAndroid is that a joke?? no doubt bout tina turners talent but shes aint no rocknroll chick and cant ever mess with led zep (i wonder if she ever really tried to)

  • @bkfmatze Tina Turner was not rock'n'roll??? You don't know Tina Turner then. I'm certain that the boys in Led Zeppelin looked up to her as a rock goddess. Go download her singing "Whole Lotta Love", listen to "Acid Queen" from The Who's movie Tommy, and familiarize yourself with the works of Ike & Tina.

  • I pretty much disregard all the haters as nothing but little punk boys who haven't been around long enough to have heard what real good music is all about.most of them probably aren't even old enough to buy an alcohlic drink legally yet.So in my opinion their opinion doesn't even count yet.

  • I like this version, and I like the way Cornell sang it. But the groove that Zeppelin gave to the solo and the whole song after that is missing for me, it just ain't here. Still, I gotta love Santana:)

  • pero qee buena cancion neta! ahoraa con la sexy voz de Chris cornell.. y el inigualable talento del Sr. Santana! wooow its magic :D

  • pero qee buenaa cancioon! ahora con la sexi voz de Chris cornell y el talento del gran Santana.. woow! its magic :D

  • Some songs were made to be made better. This is the example!!! GOD, the drums at 3:05 are just mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • grow within yourself

  • THANKS CARLOS SANTANA FOR OLD ROCK (REAL MUSIC!) KEEP ON GOING...AND PLEASE US TO LISTEN!....10 GRAMMYS THIS TIME!!!

  • Great version.

  • I love it and if you think your better post it or STFU !!!!!!

  • Great version.

    Cornell and Santana: this is Rock and Roll Heaven.

  • holy shneikes santana can still wail!

  • Who cares if it is a good or a bad cover, Am I going to have his atittude when I'm in my 60s??? Great cover for me!!!
