  • I think this is amazing he has true rocker spirit especiall since hes briggin back classics

  • I think this is amazing he has true rocker spirit

  • Damn it Adam, make a fucking rock album.

  • The fact that the drummer is playing it totally incorrect ruins the song completely..

  • @N9678Q American Idol's studio drummer doesn't measure up.

  • My only question.... why couldn't Adam make rock music instead of the stupid bullshitty pop he does now?

  • @sobeAdam Because that's "not what sells and tops the charts..." That's what Adam said in several interviews. I wish he did more rock-type music, but oh well...

  • Adam is good....Robert Plant is best.....

  • Better than the original. Adam has the best voice! <333

  • @MrsBloom3 dude, you're talking about robert plant -.-

  • @MrsBloom3 better than robert plant? youre fucking insane

  • @thrashtilldeath09 Robert plant is BRILLIANT, but sorry Adam's chops are higher on the shelf bro.

  • @urwhatthewho hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha yea maybe now that plans in his 60s but back in the day? adam wouldnt have a chance...isnt is a shame also that adams claim to fame is a cover song?

  • @thrashtilldeath09 Tone deaf people suck. Get a tune-up. Any singer, especially rock singer, would commit murder to have Adam's vocal tone, control, and range. I just hate when haters don't give dues because they are.........

  • @urwhatthewho yea i never said he wasnt good...but how can you say hes better than plant?

  • Who the fuck is this guy?????

    Fuck all the idiots who wan't to become stars on the work of others !

  • @dreacul This is ADAM LAMBERT. He was on American Idol season 8. They do covers of songs on AI. Adam has a huge career now with his own music.

  • Robert Plant= ROCKS

    Adam Lambert= GAY

  • @sofuckineasy

    Adam Lambert  frocio

  • @Remorselli Renata...

  • @sofuckineasy

    so what? grow the fuck up

  • Woah. *Blank Stare* . That is amazing.

  • the cool thing about robert plant's voice is that it matched jimmy page's guitar so freaking well, sometimes it sounded like it was an instrument itself.

    However, adam lambert definitely challenges robert plant, and the coolest thing and what we SHOULD be focusing on (in my opinion) is the fact that this awesome contemporary singer chose to sing this awesome older song :)

    I love led zeppelin, and lately i've been taking a liking to adam, so this is just freaking cool to me!

  • @PlaidTeletubbies13 Well the fact that Zeppelin is legend isn't my opinion, RIGHT. is that you're only argument? "why are you watching this?" to criticize something, or to say you dislike it, you should understand it or hear it first, you should probably take that advice.

  • @PlaidTeletubbies13 but that doesn't mean he hasn't heard any of it, it's simple facts that Plant is much more talented, your opinion won't change that.

  • @PlaidTeletubbies13 Get over yourself. I was just giving my opinion.

  • <33 BravoWoW!!! Awesome Vocal!!! Adam Can Sing & Rocks!!! Thanxoxo for this Posintg & Sharing *^o^* I luv it <33

  • pls people stop hateing on adam!!!! hes a rock god of a new generation, his cover rocks!!!! and sorry guys vocaly no one can touch Adam!!!! even slash was dumbfound when he heard adam and hes a legend!!!

  • i love this rendition(:<33 done perfectlyy.

  • the solo was lame

  • Adam has a great voice, but it lacks the grit of Plant. And although this is not slight on Adam, the solo sucked.

  • this version is to perfect! perfect sound, perfect mixed. and so for me it´s not good. it lackes led zeppelins raw and dirty sound! and to hear this song with a solo not played by jimmy is heretic! my opinion doesn`t mean this is all the way bad. but im a purist, i prefer the original.

  • autotune

  • Comment removed

  • He'd sound just as fabulous as Robert Plant if only he'd wreck himself with buckets of heroin and booze and squeeze the half notes out of the top of his throat like a constipated female pekingese. That's all Adam Lambert he needs to do to be that good! It would be interesting to hear Adam Lambert try to do justice to Back in the Saddle by Aerosmith. Steven Tylers outrageous octaves could give Mr. lambert a run for his money!

  • The live version was better but I liked this too. Actually with Adam ALL his live versions are better than his recordings. I still bump him on my ipod like crazy but there is always a longing for one of the live versions over what I got. RCA better compile his live recordings and make a mint and stop playing.

  • owners that horrible version of the music of Led Zeppelin should not allow this crap degrading the original song, led zeppelin live original of imitation aside this guy is effeminate

  • the live version is way better because its so RAW. the album producers just try to make everything sound too perfect. he is one of the few artist who is better live than recorded.

  • he was better live

  • arnel pineda can do led zeppelin too!!!!! oh yeah adam lambert's amazing in this one too.

  • This is a very horrid and gay cover. The god's of Zeppelin need to kill this polished turd shit out of american idol's asshole.

  • @Alhambrattp Much agreed Plant put more into the song, Even Lambert may have a had a higher vocal range, but he's no Plant.

  • @cellphone781 Yeah well plant is also no Lambert so it goes both ways

  • @Alhambrattp horrid gay cover?, just curious but what do you mean by that statement. No pun intended but if it's what I think it means, why do you think that about Adam Lambert?. I just don't understand what good that would do anybody in the music industry.

  • Much Much better than his live version. Thumbs up

  • good not as good as whole lottaa love no way

  • GREAT ROCK VOICE!!!

  • o melhor que ja ouvi numa ediçao dos idolos

  • This guy has an awesome voice and I bet Robert Plant wishes he could still sing this song like he could back in the 70's.

  • adam sounds alot like robert plant

  • I saw Led Zepplin do this in 1976. I honestly think Adam is better. And THAT is saying alot from this ol' Red-headed Rocker!

  • @sandynapier fail led zep owns him

  • only 3 people can sing this song in the world its adam bobert and the front man from the tribute band to led zepplelin houes of the holy

  • fuck yeah:)

  • These are all better live than studio - that's why you have to buy them. Adam Lambert should not be doing these covers - he should get with a real original rock band....

  • Does anyone else think that Adam performing this live sounds better than the studio version? I hope it's not just me. :p

  • @mrzzadamlambert me too. but they are both awesome. better live than zeppelin. no disrespect to zeppelin

  • Zepplin rock! good cover end off

  • WHOLE LOTTA SHIT!!!!!

  • @johndough9 poser

  • Whole Lotta SHIT!

  • @johndough9 you're such a dumbass, this isn't as good as the original zep version but it's exponentially better than what you could do.

  • the live version is much better than this~ you can feel the energy from Adam~~ He is a real rocker~~

  • this guy is the best rock singer out there, modern day plant + Mercury+ Simmons

  • bull shit that guy isnt a singer, that guy has a gnarly range, or had, he sings down low now and does just fine.

  • /watch?v=Rt5QBS6lzZw&

    watch this Portugal Idol version it's also really good i think..that girl totally rocks!

  • the live performance on idol sounded better than this studio version, imo

  • really? you want expert opinions, go to DDD Music Forum Adam Lambert, check out the list of 100 Most Technically Skilled Rock Vocalists. Adam is #2, Plant is #26. You can see the criteria they used....and educate yourself. Zep is great, but so is Adam and if Zep didn't think so they wouldn't have granted the permission for the cover.

  • Lmfao you're waaaaaaaack.

    It is a Zeppelin song so there's going to be comparisons. I've heard no one do Plant justice, except for this guy.

    Plant and Rog agree, they love him - their words. First time in History they gave that show their rights to use their song - because of Lambert, specifically.

    Give credit where credit is due.

  • Agreed, Robert Plant was superb! Iconic. NOW, lets not use any more hyperbole and make silly statements that can be easily disproved by youtube videos and documented facts. Plant had vocal damage from early on and even ad surgery for nodules way back in 1973. He had vocal guts and "some" skills but to diminish Lambert is just your fandom talk. This is not to say Lambert wont develop nodules which he's likely to statistically. Go watch Lambert at Gridlock live and drop your jaw from reality shock

  • And BTW this is a tamed down version made quickly during American Idol and has a couple of small issues such as being a tad to uptempo. Idol is big on not allowing singers to be "indulgent", whereas all of the greats were super indulgent, part of what makes them GREAT, just like Lambert.

  • @SuperMediawatcher dude, Gridlock was a MINDFUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lambert has an excellent voice, i really hope he doesn't damage it soon.

    that might make me cry.

  • The scream is A++++

  • Excelent cover!  great voice!

  • I agree , Led Zepplin was great, and I always loved the song, but Lambert adds sometihng great to it !!

  • i seen LZ live, and although AL is no RP he has a great rock voice

  • Comment removed

  • Ja pierdole [*]

  • lambert's not bad but something in plant's voice just had a lot more raw emotion in this song. i might be the fact that he never picked one specific way to sing the song and it was more real that way

  • He killed it -_-

  • Please excuse the Stoner's comments on here. Plant is their Rock God and Adam is the 2009 Rock God .... we are talking about a span of 40 years here and Adam definitely rocks WLL.

  • he CAN rock, but go listen to his dance/techno crap cd,maybe you will change your mind

  • Synertia .... Adam can sing any genre, as proven by his FYE CD. Personally I love the CD and purchased two copies, one for the car and one for the house. If you want to get high and listen to music, then listen to Plant. If you want to listen to a voice that can get you high without drugs, then listen to Adam.

  • Im not saying he cannot sing any genre, cause he can. he is an amazing singer, and i dont do drugs whatsoever so i wont get high on music. Point is, PERSONALLY, i think Adam should orientate more on good rock music. Dont getme wrong here there are songs that are actually very good on his cd. I found its just sad to see adam perform songs in the techno-dance world.

  • You can't compare Lambert to Plant. Lambert might have a great technical voice but Plant has something that Lambert does not. It's called soul. It's the difference between one of the greatest songs of all time and a good karaoke imitation.

  • Robert Plant is completely 100% better than Adam Lambert.

  • of course robert plant will probably be better on his own song but get him to sing is anybody listening or broken open or fever can he do that the fact is that Adam can pull off a Robert Plant song but can Robert Plant sing one of Adams ones no disrespect but i dont think so

  • @adamlambertisanangel I don't think we compare singers based on which one can sing the other's songs better...

    I agree that Adam has an amazing, powerful, wide-ranged voice and some very theatrical presence.

    But to compare it to Robert Plant is a completely different story. Plant is a historical music icon who revolutionized the rock genre forever. Adam is a great singer.

    There's a big difference.

  • yes i see where you are coming from but singing talent does not have anything to do with how long someone has been in the industry of course robert pLant is a music icon and has achieved far greater things with his career than Adam and he deserves the accolades and maybe one day Adam will be in the same place only time will tell. But the person above was saying robert plant was better than Adam and when it comes to singing itself in my opinion Adam is the better vocalist no offense

  • I never said that how long you've been in the industry shows how good an artist someone is. I said that Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin kind of started classic and modern rock. Sure, the Beatles revolutionized music before them, but Plant could sing jazz, smooth rock, hard rock, and even some metal songs. He changed the way the music industry worked and changed from a choice between pop, jazz, and classical to rock, hard rock, grunge, pop, jazz, classical. You know what I mean?

  • OH, ok. So Lambert should successfully start a new genre, revolutionize music, change the way the industry works, all in less than one year and under contract from freaking American Idol. Not to mention during the current shitstorm of synth takeover, autotune, bias favoring rap and women on the charts and radio, and swimming upstream against social norms and having magazines writing histrionic attention getting headlines (out mag). OK, that makes alot of sense.

  • Yeah, he should, if he wants to be the next Robert Plant. It's pretty true.

  • No mate all he wants to be is the next Boy George or George Michael, which will upset whole lotta loving teenage and non teenage girls.

  • And I never said do all of that in under one year. If you want to compare Adam Lambert to Robert Plant, don't do it in under a year. Simple as that.

  • @ShadoPoig you can't really compare the two..i mean it's possible but it's not a good comparison. i agree with you.

  • Besides if vocal talent eas judged on how long you had been in the industry Britney Spears would be judged to be a better singer and i think thats something we can all live without lol

  • @adamlambertisanangel

    Adam's vocals might be on par with Plant, I'll go that far. But, to be honest, I highly doubt that Lambert is going to change the world of music as Plant and his cronies did.

  • indeed, the world has since changed.

  • @AiCLedZep21 ever notice Plant always sounds better on the record than he does live ..?? he tones it down live which i think great singers  should sond just as good live as they do on the album and Plant defintely dont sound as good live

  • um no lol you mustve never heard him live

  • The kids got a great voice

  • Im not going to compare Plant's voice with Lambert's one, but the fact is Lambert singing live is AWESOME, and the best cover from the legend till now, Lambert has what it takes to be a rock god

  • I'm not saying this version is BETTER than the original, but claiming Plant has a higher range is fucking bullshit. Open up your biased ears and listen for real objectively.

  • exactly right, Plant is in a league of his own, but facts are facts and Adam has the higher range.

  • so times al screams plant can hit high notes with control

  • @mortred009 the original version of this clasic is Muddy Waters, look it up. Best dam player ever

  • @mortred009 No offense, i agree with what your saying, but plants range is larger. Lambert can go a bit higher, but plant can hit baritone notes. Plant has a really low voice along with high voice. So his range is greater.

  • @mortred009 who give a shit, robert plant is a legend. this guy is a one hit wonder

  • @mortred009 While I have never listened that much to Lambert, I can tell you that Plant has sung notes considerably higher than the ones Adam did here. In fact, on the original record of this song, right before the fade out, you can hear Plant wail a G5. The highest note Adam hits here is a E5, which is 4 notes lower on the chromatic scale. Also, Plant has wailed up to A5, another 2 notes higher. For Adam, he seems to have perfect control over his range here, I bet they are about eqaul in range.

  • @HillbillyJ I've seen Adam go as high as Bb5.. But he is just at the beginning of his career.. I bet that when he gets older and better he will be able to reach C6 or even more. (starting from here I'm not talking about you) Fuck everyone who keeps comparing Adam to Robert.. This is a fucking studio recording done in less than a week for a reality show and you can't compare that to Led Zeppelin.. You just cant.

  • the look on my face i get from this is one of disgust

  • Oh God, I hate Zeppelin covers. It seems like they're just making a mockery of the Gods themselves. Robert Plant is 10,000 times better of a singer than this guy.

  • whole lotta jealousy people comment on here

  • he is good but not better

  • Comment removed

  • I love Adam :D

  • He´s a briliant singer, I must say. How old is this kid? Sorry Robert P. but this kids lyrics are better than yours in this particular song. Though, Im still and shall allways be Led Zeppelin fan. Good work kid.

  • no way in HELL he sings this song better than plant. NO WAY in fucking hell.

  • dude, your retarded... its not his lyrics... its still Plant's lyrics, this chump is just singing them..... and plant was much better still...

  • They ARE Plant's lyrics.

  • just for the record Adam could make a damn good rock singer no not damn good a AMAZING rock signer with the power and range his voice has. If he sings funk-rock :X damn he can sing... :D

  • If you actually listen to robert plant sing this song, he makes lambert seem like he has noooo range....

  • you are kidding right?

  • oviouslly not better than Led Zeppellin but he did great vocals on this cover ..love it !

  • yeh who beats led zeppelin plus he not a rock singer

  • i think he just messed around. it's not like it's going to in his album. Who cares? Plus, it was a cover, and he had to make it original. And the guitarist is terrible too.

    But it really isn't all that good.

  • I love this!!!

  • Interesting. And in a good way.

  • He's got an amazing voice, but Plant eclipses him, especially for this style of music.

  • yes agreed. in this case i think he cant match the growl of plant...in fact no one can. still love his voice though, just too trained and clean for this song.

  • ^led zeppelin was better!

  • really? no way...

  • I like the version he did live. This one, as much as I want to like it, is horrible. Not that he has a bad voice, but this is way too processed and poppy to be a cover of a Zeppelin song. At least the live version was pretty raw.

    But I look forward to some Adam Lambert originals in November. They are sure to rock! :)

  • There's only 1 problem about all studio version of his songs.. A recorded track will never ever give justice to a talent like this. Adam will forever be better live, and when he sings live you just gotta enjoy the show. I think we've got a new rock-god incoming!

  • That guitar sounds pitiful compared to Jimmy's original version.

  • Cmon, man, it's JIMMY.

  • obviously your pathetic.

  • the1stbreadfan ,you're a sick excuse for a human being along with TheLizardKing95 .

  • You really are sick.

  • what a pathetic person you are, get a life

  • TheLizardKing95 , you're a sick excuse for a human being.

  • Yes he's got very good vocal talent. But in the end when I listen to Adam I say great voice, really polished, but eeh.

    Saying Adam's version is better than the original is like saying it's better than the real version. But better than real is not the real version. Plant's version is raw. You can sense its the real deal, drugged up, messed up kind of rock.

    If mean if you were actually smoking pot, not that I do, but if you decided to would you listen to Adam or would you listen to Plant?

  • lol hes hawtt

  • Its not bad. Its pretty good, but, it's not as good as the original. You can't beat Plant at his own game.

  • Haha at the concert, when he sang this, my dad was singing along and he goes "Woman!" and Adam goes "Babyyyy!" my dad was like "-.- of course" xD I don't care if he's gay, he's fucking gorgeous and SOOOO talented :D

  • lol mine too !!!

  • Hahaha lol coincidence? (Ignore spelling lmao)

  • he did say "i wanna be your back door man"

  • Lmfaooo he did? When?

  • 2:52

  • Haha he DID! xD

  • for this song needs more power this is to low ..... but good

  • download link plox?

  • Good singer.. but no feeling and nothing compared to the original..

  • No wonder the world is going to shit. Can't ANYBODY get along? Look at all the nasty comments here! If you don't like Adam Lambert, why did you click? Just to be nasty? Nobody has to worry about war from a foreign country! Each will do their own in from within. This is craziness, pure and simple.

    Sudsy

  • and youve always been a douche bag!

  • Yeah, but i like Adam's version.

  • its pretty good but deff nothing compared to zeppelin

  • He never intended to try to supercede Zeppelin's work. He admires Zeppelin for what they are, and did tribute to them with this work. And, be it known, this was NOT written by Zeppelin or any member therein, but by Willie Dixon, a dear friend of the band's. When they left their label to start their own they helped Willie legally to make sure he got his due.
