  • one of the greatest tunes of all time.

  • Timeless classic from a master group. Thanks you.

  • I want a time machine back to the 70's and see them live.

  • 0:48 wtf kind of guitar is that?

  • @0xlAFSftwlx0 a very badass one for a very badass person.. i mean god

    

  • @SHerbylicious well said.

  • @0xlAFSftwlx0 I think it's an acoustic bass, judging by the size of the body.

  • @LentilsOverkill yeah it's got 4 strings, i've never seen a body like that before though :O

  • This song reminds me of my girl:) I'm the evil one lol

  • JPJ kicks ass!

  • 1:22 epic picture

  • @MusicAtStage hahaha exactly my thoughts

    

  • Only 2,350,146 views because everyone else is listening to this on vinyl.

  • First time I heard this song...Grooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooovy

  • @akv5175: you're lucky in a way. I wish I could go back to the first time I heard this song. I'm in my 40's and first heard this in 6th grade. I have so many memories, good & bad, attached to Led Zeppelin that I can't imagine what life would've been without them.

    If you really like this and don't know much more, don't let anyone tell you "Oh buy THIS ALBUM first..." or whatever. It's all as good as this.

  • @chaote well said. All Zeppelin is good and so diverse. Seems to sound better as you get older too no? At least I appreciate it more than I did when I was younger.

  • @PFTome Exactly! I did not like them when I was younger but now, really enjoy!

    Check out Pusicferdotcom :) Maynards side project, everyone says it has the feel of Zep and Floyd :)

  • @skb0rzn: yeah, Puscifer's cool shite. I'm still more of a fan of Maynard's work w/ Tool and APC. Especially Tool, the frame of mind he gets into for Tool lyrics & performances is just surreal. A few rock singers have played w/ alternate personae over the years, most have flopped (Bono=Mephisto? Ha, ha ha). Excepting Bowie, from whom this expression of Rock Performance came forth, Maynard's on-record/onstage presentation is the most intense, provocative & artistic statement in music.

  • @chaote For sure friend, I am going to see Tool Feb 8th in Orlando, DMT with me for the experience, hehe. I agree, some amazing talent and we are blessed to be fans I think. So much depth, emotion and understanding. I have seen 8 shows and been blown away every time. Namaste

  • @PFTome: funny you should say "sound better as you get older". Recently I was thinking about how I react to my long-standing, personal favorite bands (Led Zep, Rush, Genesis, Sonic Youth) differently now than when I was young. At age 11, when I got LZII, it was very visceral, all about the "heaviness". Now I appreciate the light & shade, slower, more melodic side of all music, but esp. Zep for their - really Page's - ingenious way with a progression that a lesser artist wouldn't see.

  • im not spamming you mate

    theres no need for confusion anymore. d'ya like spaced out music? or do u like to touch yourself all day?(jimi hendrix) either or...check my channel out. youll have a musical blast. word.

  • I'm 16 and I sincerely apologize for my generations music. This is real music!

  • @shane28373 Recordings were done with reel to reel analog tech on this record. 99% of the music that comes out today is recorded with protools and it allows the band members to punch in as many times as they want. In order to punch someone in with reel to reel recording tech is they would have to physically take the tape and splice it together. So alot of old recordings are done in one take, where the newer recordings are many takes blended together to make one. I agree with you.

  • @ForTheFallen2000: The skills required to create a masterful recording in today's studio - Pro Tools, D/A converters, digital editing, etc - are wide and varied. And much *different* than analog recording - not better/worse.

    I don't mean to disrespect you, but I believe those who assume the superiority of analog & it's messy, unproductive & chaotic workflow are Luddites. Every aspect of analog can now be emulated & no one can tell the difference. 1's and 0's are here to stay.

  • @chaote I'm saying that led Zepp prob. went in a did a couple takes and then kept the one they liked, they didnt punch in, take a buch of takes and put them together to make one take.

  • @shane28373: I'm 44 and I don't think you or anyone should EVER apologize for your generation's music. There are so many great bands/artists out now. It's a fact of life: older people will always complain about what younger people like. For many reasons but a lot comes down to jealousy & insecurity.

    Most peeps my age can't deal with the fact that Rock Is Dead. And so what? It lasted too long anyway. Now its time for your generation's music & whatever comes out, that's great.

  • If i would be rich, i would totaly infest my money in making an animated movie about led zeppelin, with mystical figures in it and totally use their music in the film.

  • @jamirosmajicrocks: you don't need to be rich to do that. You obviously own or have access to a computer. You just need the right software and your imagination. I hope you go for it. I'd watch it.

  • in jeans that tight, I'm surprised he could walk anywhere! LOL! Seriously though, great song, great jeans, hey he can go wherever he likes!

    coraclewoman

  • #1 song on the day I was born

  • Number 1 song the day I was born.

  • I dislike it when I come to a Zepplin song and all the comments I see reference one lyric and a stupid internet meme.

  • @MrLIAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    Well they should have known that was gonna happen when they put the lyric in there...

  • Those dudes are gods!!

  • A Winchester favorite!

  • 1:13 John looks just like George Harrison

  • how can anybody dislike this?

  • @barnaskater93 feels kind of comforting knowing there's only 77 retards in this world :)

  • Started getting dressed, put on some Zeppelin to get me going....been sitting here for almost an hour with one sock on....damnit

  • Comment removed

  • Keep Calm and Ramble On,

  • @Lauradepp95 LOL....that's a great comment and yes, I do get the original reference!

  • greatest gods of rock. I salute you

  •  led zep and lotr in one song i love it :)

  • this makes me cum

  • @omgnataliexoxo samsies

  • I never knew so many people realized that led zeppelin refered to LOTR. Maybe this song is where the director got his idea to call the evil city Mordor

  • @Tropicsca LOTR was made by J.R.R. Tolkien in the fifties! Led Zeppelin got his idea from his 3 books! And the director made the trilogy guided by the 3 books! Learn some history!

  • happy birthday jimmy page

  • I'm such a throwback!...love this band.Happy Belated B-day Jimmy!

  • God!!! what a great band.. What would i do with out led zepplin.. I'm getting a tattoo of there zodiac symbols. Greates band ever and always will be... R.I.P John B.

  • my girl friend said led zep was average ..... Im single now

  • "But Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her" I was told this song was inspired by The Hobbit :)

    Love Led Zeppelin!

  • @02justSAY Plant liked(s) Norse Mythology and also liked The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings... Thus the reference... Watch "Song Remains the Same" video and see his little short, kinda reminds you of those times.

    Booze and heroin will ruin a band every damn time it is tried! D

    Man I like this band.. bluesy rock

  • j,giuvfiotbl

  • that picture at :49 is just lol, Jimmy is like "the fuck is that?"

  • First and last great rock band

  • My 3 favorite Zep songs are 1. Ramble On 2. Gallows Pole 3. Tangerine

  • @WhiteNacho Stairway, Ramble on and Heartbreaker's where it's at

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY! Listening to nothing by Zeppelin and Page today....it will be a very good day.

  • Comment removed

  • I brought myself here. One of the best songs ever made (besides the rest of them)

  • helped fold my laundry. almost.

  • how epic can this be? god dammit

  • why do i find jimmy page so adorable? :D

  • @xxUrFaceLOLxx I think it's because he's part angel, part devil and part EWOK!

  • I smiled when I saw they mentioned 'Lord of the Rings' :D

  • Favorite Zepplin tune. I am much abliged

  • Dislikes are like Aids, anyone can get it.

  • I wrote this song. Yea, thanks everyone. It pays the bills...

  • @MrHarryBawls2010 nice work, "harry bawls"

  • "In the darkest depths of Mordor" O.O Led Zeppelin simply walked in to Mordor.

  • @EFrankeyy 9gag?

    

  • @ChromaticaShags awwwwww yeaaaahhhh

  • @EFrankeyy Led Zepp could fuckin' dance into mordor if they wanted to.

  • @EFrankeyy One does not simply Ramble On into Mordor

  • @EFrankeyy ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY-

    Oh, Led Zep? Yeah never mind they can do what they like

  • Although the lyrics are supposedly written Gollum and the evil " one" , Plant sings " Gollum and the evil war " You can definitely hear the word " war " .

  • Keep ramblin zeppelin

  • My favorite song by far.  Best bass line ever created.

  • You know what sucks? If Led Zeppelin had started today, they would never get very popular.

  • @CoreyL11 It took them a while to get popular after their first album.

  • Love that bassline!

  • i came here on my brothers user account and i sure need to hear his favorite songs.

    I'm 14 and i need education.

  • One does not simply Ramble On into Mordor.

  • @HY11A die in a fire.

  • "Twas in the darkest depths of mordor

    I met a girl so fair,

    But gollum, and the evil one crept up

    And slipped away with her"

    ...

    Led Zeppelin simply walked into Mordor!

  • Dean Winchester .

  • Learning this bassline right now! :D

  • i've listened to zep forever but i'll aways be moved by this big time.

  • Happy Birthday Jonesy....rock's greatest bassist!!!!! Ramble on and ROCK on!!!

  • Led Zeppelin IS rock.

  • Comment removed

  • 'DAT BASS LINE :Q___

  • i just talked to robert plant. he was like, "you're better than jimmy". I was like, I know.

  • @thatbastardson hope he didn't mean jimmy the sheep molester. cuz you gotta earn that.

  • Only Led Zep could include a reference to Lord of the Rings in a song........

  • make me melt!

  • Led Zeppelin helps my hair to grow!

  • led zeppelin rocks my world part of my history...

  • My girlfriend changed the radio station when this song was halfway over in the car the other day. Now i'm single and I wonder if she ever got back home from the interstate

  • @crimsonxtide50 The levee broke and she got washed away

  • @crimsonxtide50 yah what a bitch i was gonna say she better have been walking

  • @crimsonxtide50 ahhaha true

  • another song dat must be played wide fuckin open and beyond

  • you hear that tapping sound? that was the producer while he was listening

  • Such a great roving bassline

  • #i heard this song today on the radio and it made my day better.

  • I always thought that stairway to heaven was a song about going to heaven but trust me, its like the opposite meaning. Also I say this on this song because I have heard stairway to much

  • @AbetheGuitarist cool story bro

  • @AbetheGuitarist i like live stairway at earls court its so euphoric and beautiful . never gets old .

  • They say Jimi Hendrix was the best rock guitarist of all time, but Jimmy Page set the bar pretty damn high.

  • @atomicpunk48 ye maybe hendrix was better in different ways, but maybe page was better to play things to people's likings ^^? i dont know ;p

  • @DONEILL15 I have no idea what memebase is but I brought myself here

  • It's a wonder you could upload this with lz's fucking copyright restrictions. Guitar tabs: unavailable. Spotify: unavailable. And if you try and download it you gotta watch out that it's not a tribute band afterall. Wth lz owners. Stop that shit.

  • Led Zeppelin brought me here.

  • "Hammer of the Gods"

    Designed to take over the World.

    We now know that Jimmy was going to be a "Rolling Stone" if "Faces" didn't break up.

    Ron Wood would have gotten back with his old friend Robert Plant and things would have been very different.

    The feeling of truth, life reminding us that it's not happy endings and that the River Always reaches the Sea.

    The Leaves fall all around the Autumn of my life, This Sound Track Brings me on Home.

    "To our health we Drank a 1000 times..."

  • bin this way ten yrs to the day

    

  • Led motherfucking Zeppelin brought me here. Not that stupid Memebase deepgag whatever fuck that is.

  • America is becoming the land of mordor the evil empire 

  • Great song! great band!

    excellente toune! excellent groupe!

  • this is so awesome!

  • god damn this is good.

  • Fuck cowbell!! there's someone beating there meat on this track.

  • Comment removed

  • Saw Jimmy Page play this on "It Might Get Loud". Without JPJ and Bonzo it sounded like ukelele music. Downright depressing. :(

  • man...... this was the age of the lord of the rings..... and the all mighty led zepplin....

  • 75 people have no taste in music. 75 people will never be on the stairway to heaven.

  • @TheB00kL0ver Make that 77

  • @TheB00kL0ver Smoke some ganja and see if it doesn't improve the quality of your life.

  • @n697dt When my aorta burst I went to surgery, and after the Dr put a stint in my back and into my lung, and over 16 cc's of fluid poured out of my lung in less than minute..He said it was from smoking....(all I smoked was pot...) and he said that if people saw what he saw on a daily basis they wouldnt have a hard time quitting at all....Dont get me wrong, I loved what it did for my head, but thats all it took to straighten me out and clear me up for good. Its a lot less expensive also this way

  • @TheBassplayah  What does this have to do with the song

  • @mreggplantman It was supposed to be in answer to @ThBookLOver and his suggestion to "Smoke some ganja and see if it doesnt improve the quality of your life.....Sorry for the miscue......or whatever

  • if you disliked this then your a justin beiber cocksucker

    

  • in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair, but Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her.

  • one of the best songs for bass and guitar

  • makes me feel extremely nostalgic

  • Epic+awesome+gnarly+sick+godly­+orgasmic= Epicawesnarick Godsmic

    But I wasn't born when they were naming the band so Led Zeppelin works too

  • RAMBLEEEEEE ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!! WOOOO AHHHHHHHH

  • if u didnt come here for any other reason than that zeppelin defined classic rock, u fail

  • @littlebemen925 too bad they didnt. i came here because i like led zeppelin. would i be wrong in doing so?

  • @MrRedstonefreedom dont take wut u see/hear on youtube so seriously, i was highasfuck and was really into the song at that moment, relax buddy

  • @littlebemen925 i came here because i like it. no matter how much they defined classic rock, i don't think that i would listen to them if i didn't like them (which i do :))

  • baby baby baby.....

  • The time has come to be gone, and now the time is to ramble on

  • And Led Zeppelin said "Let there be God".

  • @LedZepSk8 AND GOD SAID..."NOW HOLD YOUR HORSES THERE

    BUCK-A-ROO." I'M JUST SAYIN WHAT GOD IS THINKING!! TE..HE..!

    IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!! ROCK ON ZEP...! (-:) LIVE..LAUGH...LOVE!

  • this song is amazing. the bass and guitar are so sick. jimmy and john doing work

  • awesome

  • Long live to Frodo Baggins!

  • Long live to Frodo Baggins!

  • real rap rules

  • Led Zeppelin were nice using references to Tolkien books in these songs... even in Stairway to Heaven they refer to the prohibition to Numeronean to go to the west (Silmarillion) "There is a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for freedom".

  • @travsam

    I was thinking the same thing -- about "freedom"

    Ron Paul 2012!!

  • @travsam there not refering to tolkiens books.. Tolkien and led zeppelin are refering to the same things in occult teachings but its not tolkiens "idea" in any way

  • Don't you just hate it when the top comments are exactly the same?

  • This is a really nice song :)

  • I like how this person below me pointed out the obvious

  • I like how the top comments are the same.....

  • ramble on ooooo <3 like like ama amazing

  • Robert Plant easily has one of the top 5 voices in rock history.

  • I used to ramble on, but then i got a arrow in the knee
