Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks

[greyforge27]

This song is so relaxing and perfectly balanced that I never even noticed the drums until now, but man they really are great.

[cavs102000]

[iwillgetthisdone]

@Thehalomanable Why didn't it say John Bonham. his initials are JB to :) that makes the world better

[afroboy146]

jewish, maximadog?



[maximadog]

@afroboy146 no, I'm not Jewish. Why do you ask?

[maximadog]

Hail the SS John Paul Jones et al.

[maximadog]

I was in an old school Italian restaraunt last Sat. night. We were the last table in the small dining room; all other patrons were gone. The staff was busy up front, washing dishes and tending to take out transactions. Suddenly, as if by magic, the CD juke box started playing 'When the levyBreaks' by Led Zep, the base and treble of the fine old machine blending perfectly. I spun around and stared at the jukebox in total shock. That night, I fell in love with Led Zeppelin all over again. Kismet.

[b16bubu]

@maximadog funny you should say that. the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago here in Thailand on a beachfront bar with an old juke box full of great oldies, when all of a sudden the exact same song started playing. The owner was a led Zep aficionado lke us and we had a hell of a time since

[maximadog]

@b16bubu Like I said, it's Kismet, as only the mighty Zep could do. Very cool for you. Rock on.

[Thehalomanable]

@maximadog Oh yeah man. Love those moments. 

[madmanmemo]

I was drunk sorry i voted down

[nthl0gik]

this be a defining moment in music..... those guys had it all.

[mikey41rules]

Best drum beat ever ....the awesome thing is its so simplistic

[SLAYERMETALLICA357]

Know how Bonham recorded this song?

He put his drum set at the end of a stairway. Put a regular singing microphone at the top of the stairway to record himself. His drumming was loud and powerful that a regular mic 20 feet or so away was still able to record every sound he made on his Ludwig Green Sparkle kit.

Hands down, the greatest drummer in the history of music.

[GranDrJ]

@SLAYERMETALLICA357 give a little credit to Jimmy for thinking of where to place the mics haha. But seriously, Bonham had it all.

[SLAYERMETALLICA357]

@GranDrJ Oh yeah that to, I think their producer had something to do with it also. Either way, Bonham made their idea work lol.

[13DCH]

"... and the Earth will host a central core... and it will be named 'Bonham'; so it is written, so it shall be done."

[Sangoku35]

Am I the only one playing air-drums when I listen to this?

[led96zeppelin]

@Sangoku35 I actually air drum to everything...LOL

[akrivosdiavolos73]

this SONG kicks BALLS.....powerfull Drums...electrifying Harmonica.....Zeppelin are GODS!!

[MegaGino09]

Robert Plant: The best Singer.

Jimmy Page: The best Guitarist.

John Paul Jones: The best Pianist and Bassist.

John Bonham: The best Drummer.

What is Led-Zeppelin? THE BEST BAND EVER! (:

[ctriamimgons]

the true are of heavy rock. not soundless bar chords or over thudded drums.

less is more and this is what sounds like.

heavy and bad ass.

[jakubys258469713]

Ku.va to je skvělá písnička

[angiebabysahin]

I can't get enough of this song. It does something to my soul.

[madhellsing]

8 people got left at the dock

[fernloveszeppelin1]

@kx4u5 i know how you feel man

[BeyondNeptune]

almost every zep song has a part where robert plant "spazzes" and wails really good... for this song it's at 2:38

[Chuichupachichi]

Haunting

[bowenmcconnie]

the levee is about to break...please check out my youtube channel, A. Crowley/R. Johnson/

M. Luther King/ Honest Abe among others are calling...Bilbo is just over the purple hills and not far away...

[Bamboos123]

[shockofhyperbole]

@Bamboos123 one faggot cares about irrelevant bullshit.

[MrNIRVANA100]

[69kumquat]

@MrNIRVANA100 Dude..how did it go?

[kx4u5]

Damn my computer can't play this song loud enough

[sotflicka]

feeling like a cowboy listening to this..

[3434arc1]

Greatest rock drummer that ever lived...John Henry Bonham.

[megsdnp89]

@3434arc1 yes he is hes without a doubt the best i hate when people try to argue that keith moon is im not knockin keith moon but hes no john bonham

[kurntheimmortal]

7 people touch children in awkward places.

[tr86mustang]

@kurntheimmortal Hey Perv, when you get to prison, some people are going to touch you. But you ain't gonna like it...................

[kurntheimmortal]

@tr86mustang

Yer ma.

[SPORTSNUTIM]

@kurntheimmortal real sick dude. But yes, they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

[Abdullah6009]

When ever i walk into college this song plays in my head.

Fuck yea.

[karlmanuel11]

What was the instrument used at the intro?

Was it jimmy page or plant's harmonica? /theremin?

[simpathy4thedevil]

i just heard an arctic monkeys song for the first time, as was recommended by a friend who is a fan of theirs. after listening to the arctic monkeys and being disappointed, i then listened to this song, and i said to myself: "there is something seriously wrong with the current state of British rock music isn't there?" but it is reassuring to know that Black Sabbath are getting back together in the studio. maybe there's some hope.

[LetsGoFeesh]

@simpathy4thedevil Arctic Monkeys are awesome... From The Ritz To The Rubble... Listen.

[simpathy4thedevil]

@LetsGoFeesh That's the song my friend recommended, lol. I like some of Alex Truner's solo & acoustic stuff, but for the most part I just can't get into the sound. I don't like the sound of their gutiar arrnagement, and sometimes Alex's vocals don't match the arrangement. Overall, It's just personal taste I guess. I'm just not a fan of the British Indie Rock genre, like Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines, etc. The sound just doesn't do it for me.

Seeing visions of hazy, obscured, extremely smokey, mysterious scenery... from the pork spare ribs cooking in the BBQ smoker... deep in the Bluesy South

Oh, its just ex-President Billy Boy Bob Clinton cooking dinner!

[donriel2710]

as seen on: godlike productions

damn streight

[radtke1965]

When the Levee breaks Im gonna watch it!

[iJustCallMeDave]

why did John Bonham have to die ? :(

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@iJustCallMeDave B/c God wanted drum lessons.

[tr86mustang]

@TheDrummingUnicorn Some where I still the news paper clipping of Bonhams death.......Dam they were good weren't they!!!

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@tr86mustang just imagine what would have happened he didnt die... what beautiful music his drums would have produced!

[TheBever64]

@TheDrummingUnicorn well john will show him how its done.

[Fakeone1710]

@TheDrummingUnicorn God?

[meggido666]

This song is different, you can't really compare to any other. It has a power and a feel to its own. Just great!

[jareddlorentz]

Theme song for New Orleans, Louisiana!

[meeputube]

@jareddlorentz

Too soon man.

[Actors317]

These guys have an EXTRAORDINARY unique way of playing music. When you hear the drums being played, you know its Bonham. Same thing with Page, Plant & Jones.

[DecoPage666]

I'm thinking 'bout contacting YouTube, find out whom tastes are so damn bad to dislike such an artwork like When The Levee Breaks and make an inquiry to learn WHAT THE TWAT IS WRONG WITH THESE POOR EARED PEOPLE.

[38metalmulisha]

the levee broke and 7 peoples homes got flooded

[SwiftyLady]

this is powerfull. 

[MrROTD]

The most sampled drum beat ever because it's massive!

[kwaal]

@MrROTD I think the amen break beats it as "most sampled"...

[Oracle13]

Fuck those 6 haters! Though... they DID make the like bar look like a lit joint xD

[SPORTSNUTIM]

If idiots know they are going to dislike the song why do they waste their time listening?

[puffyzigg]

@SPORTSNUTIM douche bags! lol who hasnt heard of led zeppelin, id be interested in what kind of shit music they actually listen to if they dislike this track!

[markzzxx]

@SPORTSNUTIM ..theyre really tryin to say dis-i-like

[LuLovesStories]

Fuck yeah :D Led Zeppelin and Supernatural!!!!

[Tiagu1nh0]

40 years..

[bonosauras]

F***kin awesome

[clix411]

2:38 PURE EPICNESS FROM THE GRACE OF GOD ABOVE !!!!! THANK YOU FOR GOOD MUSIC!!!!!

[rebootedone]

and the same levee he walked on broke. how in the world did he predict katrina?

[enterprise1954]

I spent a long time making time with a girlfriend to this when I was 17. That side of the LP must have upped and repalyed about five times - oh to be that fit again...

[ph1lo]

I get goosebumps all over my body when i hear this song. So powerful.

[cmc1438]

Favorite Led Zeppelin song. Don't hate me, but I never cared for Stairway to Heaven. Haha! :-)

[gratefulgracy]

BTW the song was not written by Zeppellin but husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

[gratefulgracy]

I didn't listen to Zeppelin too much when I was younger because of their fascination with the occult but I always was amazed at and appreciated their talent.

[test69monkey]

Bonham and that God-like bass drum....one of the best drummers ever!!!

[mortenrahm]

@test69monkey the best drummer ever lol

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@test69monkey Bonzo INVENTED rock drumming. i consider him to be as important to modern music as gandhi was to india.

[BobTheGreatX]

@test69monkey Agreed, That kick is super God-like lol.

[djuradzee]

@test69monkey He is the best drummer ever.Not my words, check out the rolling stones top 100 drummers of all time.

[g0tch410hp]

@djuradzee someone doesnt know about buddy rich...

[djuradzee]

@g0tch410hp Knows, but still claims that Bonham is the best.

[Lastshadow94]

@djuradzee I'd personally pick Danny Carey or Thomas Haake, at least for rock/metal drummers. He definitely makes my top 10 though.

[beatlezrawesome]

@test69monkey Yeah, that really cool reverb that the drums had are the result of being set in the loft of Headley Grange! It had a really cool ambience that no one could immitate!

[legodatabase]

i came



[lookingatcrap]

big ass drum sound

[GearHeadHeart]

can i get a sip of your HATEorade???

[MackGraves]

Holy crap this song is cool

[Beatles1264]

R.I.P. John Henry Bonham <3

[bonez1577]

[Shibbman16]

[1979audiman]

Get the Led out and go Zeppelin. YEAH

[lltrf]

Help support the Occupy Wall Street protest! Like their Facebook page!

[Ar15snhappy]

@lltrf fuck yeah and fuck wall street!

[novegon]

Another Led Zepplin rip-off of an old bluesman's material with no royalties payed or credit given.

[Sarc37]

@novegon Maybe you should whine about it some more.

[novegon]

@Sarc37 Facts are facts. Learn some musical history

[odstjackson]

So much love for this song, the lyrics are from a 1929 blues song of the same name by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy but the music is 100% Led Zeppelin. Masterpiece.

[donottawaguitar]

i live for this

[1whokncallthethunder]

seven minutes I was glad to spend.

[crazytalk0]

Every instrument is performing at perfection!

[elshedai9]

Let's all hold hands and go skipping in the rain. Where's the raw Zep? Did everyone turn gay or did I not evolve with the zac??

[elshedai9]

What happened to the video of Page/Plant Nobodys fault but mine???

[juakosanz]

these four motherfuckers managed to record the best 4 albums in rock history and today you cant make a cool heavy bluesy riff without sounding like them, i personally love these four motherfuckers! 

[MimikOctopus]

So badass that people are still sampling the first drum loop because it's so hard and rugged. And proof once again that a bajillion dollars of digital samples can't beat a competant drummer and a good recording. My house is shaking, my neighbors think I'm nuts.

[MsThelunatic]

The best part is from 0:00 to 7:06 :)

[raymond9987654321]

this song reminds me of my summer camp I just went to.. just because my cabin counselors played this song a lot on their mp3 speakers in my cabin

[xxAlessiaxx1210]

[jennilynn5759003]

Um hello Mr. Bonham, love it! If someone doesnt like this song they need to really wake up and listen!

[titangirl2013]

possibly the best led zeppelin song ever?

the drums are so heavy on this.

[EpicGibsonLover]

@509Nelly You probably jerk off to Justin Beiber so don't talk about the best band EVER like that! You Wanker!

[sam842002]

4 people are jerking off on pop.

[CNCTEMATIC]

mmmmm, those ludwigs.... yum

[rockomundo]

My favorite Zepp song.

[MrBladeSabbath]

Best part is from 2:25 to 3:04 ;)

[lucarox123]

Im going to file a complaint to Youtube. "Dear Youtube the video stopped at 7:05"

[slimfitted]

3 words for this song... mother fucking cool ... and if u dont agree then fuck you

[MeehKrob]

@slimfitted I dont agree - it's actually just 2 words^^

[SkateingIsWhatsUp]

Personally I like the part at 7:06

[TheReReRetard]

Greatest zep song EVER!

[SonofThunder707]

This song punks you down while you listen to it!

[danielray1520]

@509Nelly Fuck you

[LifesProtagonist]

@509Nelly Sparing a quick glance at your profile, I noticed you...'liked'...a video entitled 'Justin Bieber featuring Chris Brown...." something or other.

I think that explains things to the rest of us.

[509Nelly]

@LifesProtagonist

that was a good one :)

LMFAO

[vickymarie000]

@LifesProtagonist lmfao xxxxxxx

[KaBaSpLoOSh]

@509Nelly seriously man just fuck off just, FUCK OFF why do people like you feel the urge to go to music you dont like and bash it? i swear its so annoying I've never gone on a bands music to talk shit, so just stop.

[Doomgath]

@KaBaSpLoOSh You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

[Corleone2239]

@509Nelly Prick.

[509Nelly]

@Corleone2239 Prick?????

Eeehm what does it mean?

[509Nelly]

@Corleone2239

yes :)

[Corleone2239]

@509Nelly Sorry for calling you a name. If I knew you were are woman, I would have never disrespected you. However, Led Zeppelin is one of the Legendary bands of the twentieth Century. So, you could see why I was upset. 

[509Nelly]

@Corleone2239

no problem (:

oh i didnt knew that , i think its just not the kind of music i listen to ;)

[MegaVeronicaLodge]

@509Nelly LOL ~ too subdued?
