Bonham is a monster. Listen to how he plays just slightly behind the beat, thus creating a shuffle and groove that most drummers just can't emulate.

Yep,that's true.Always "behind the beat" Most drummers usually are"on top of the beat. He keeps tempo with hi-hats,and his timing is perfect. This is the way many really good drummers used to keep time in the past,and very rare these days.

That fkn bass, man. The whole 2nd album was about John Paul Jones, folks. Sure, there was more than him going on but only he was punching way above any class on it. The sound he got on this track is stellar, his work on Ramble On, c'mon, nothing before or after anywhere in the universe touches what he did on LZII.

The GOAT of rock bass, IMHO. He just adds such a great sound and so many subtle and funky nuances. I think the big difference between Zep and all other great hard rock bands is that they were all so funky! Lots of love for James Brown and Motown. Aerosmith in the 70s had that going for them also.

@chriscampbell9191

Yes, very punchy tone, especially here. Can tell he's using a pick as well, and sometimes hitting more than one string at a time, in unison with Jimmy Page's doing the same thing on the main riff (the D hanging in while he goes back to the E octaves).

@luvbasses5487

Жыл бұрын

Hi guys. This is my kind of crowd here! I left a comment out on the main about about Jones’ approach on this track. He and Bonzo had great copy cat ears. Someone would come up with a riff and the others would follow suit on it. In this case it was Jimmy who provided the main riff. It doesn’t hurt at all…having an accomplished, choirmaster-level organist (let alone polished session bassist) in your band. That said, Jones had great ears to copy this riff much the way Jimmy played it, with its open-ringing octave E and D notes. Zeppelin II as a whole is a record I’ve always referred to as: British Motown. Jones’ bass permeates this record deeply. From the Hammond B-3 organ playing on Thank You to the bass romp on Lemon Song. It’s all unique and untouchable playing. They really were “the ultimate unit.”

@@Dan-zq5wtwell he’s a keyboard/ piano player as well so all that knowledge and understanding of harmony, melody and inversions are there in his bass playing. JPJ is everything a you could wish for in a bass player!!!

Page was given complete control over music production. One of his techniques for recording was to really push the levels on tape,called ,"over saturation"which causes a very nice distortion and compression, that can only be done on magnetic tape.The downside to this is that the highly magnetized "tracks" Will "bleed"into the layers of tape below,thus causing a distant echo to be heard,as in this song. They broke a lot of rules for sure that were a"no no!"in the business,and created a whole new sound. Just for the record the different algorithms used today,Saturation,various ambience algorithms,etc can not and never will create this type of "sound". If magnetic tape is recorded "hot" and then transferred quickly to digital the bleed through doesn't happen,as this takes some time. Over saturated tape,blues, rock go hand in hand together,as does natural ambiance.

There's a set of CD's that has a ton of rehearsals, out takes, isolated tracks, and original demo versions including this one to where he sings ''you need love'' instead of ''whole lotta love'', that used to be posted on youtube but now I can't find them anymore. If you like this, you'll love those. This doesn't scratch the surface compared to those recordings.

Page really is one of the greatest rhythm guitar players of all time. You can argue about his lead work relative to Clapton and Beck, but he’s a way better rhythm player than both of them. I like his rock lead playing better also, particularly in his prime. I just listened to Cream Live and Clapton’s tone is wonderful, but all of his licks sound like his Crossroads solo. I almost think if you listen to Crossroads, White Room and Sunshine of Your Love you’ve heard all of Clapton in his Rock phase. Page is just so much more varied and creative.

This is so cool to hear these tracks broken down like this. Thanks!

I was actually reading an interview weeks ago where Jonesy was asked about Robert's guide vocal during the "way down inside" bit being left in because it just sounded cool. Hearing it now for the first time.

Even Jones’ playing during the ambient part was interesting. You can’t hear it in the final mix but even if you could it would only add to the song. Also, there are some overtones that he consistently hits during the verse sections if you listen closely

That was HEAVY!!!!!! ⚡

Beautiful!!!

Listening to this song as a six year old on the car radio thinking this band is going places and hearing this. The four corners of talent.

Bonzo the beast was a definite natural at the drums. he could play any type of percussion. I saw him live once, the guy was just amazing. he practically blew my mind away. I also like how he grunted like a bear when he played. he was such an influence to many drummers. RIP buddy!

A violent creep......................

Check out how Jones would pluck (on the upstroke) open D as he’s fretting the D 5 on A. (I believe Jimmy does the same on guit) He’d do the same on the E part, hit open E while fretting A 7. This thickens up the the whole sound of the riff. At around the 8:20 mark you hear him doing muted triplet gallops. I always wondered what this noise was for years, until this tape leaked out. He was a fine picker! God, Robert’s voice is something from another planet, really. These isolated tracks are very revealing, to say the least.

Nice stuff going on here!

Why does the slide guitar sound so much quieter on the isolated track than on the finished mix? I can barely hear it whereas it seems quite prominent on the finished version.

I've known about Jimmy Page's famous chorus effect by bending the fifth fret of the E string so that it's a microtone out of tune with A string, creating a long sine wave like.... well a chorus pedal really stands out here. He does it even on the short beats.

Bobby G. yesssssssss.....

K--@19:08 what was THAT?! :O IDK if i was just listening too loudly or too hard, but i nearly jumped out of my skin! Is that from the original track? Like, is that really there on the original, just pushed inaudibly back or down (or buried beneath the layers of everything else happening)? It was like a sword being sheathed into my ears for a split-second. I can't believe it's been there all along but i'm not sure i can tell what it is either.

I hear that blip too. Sounds to me like a snippett of a vocal on a previous take that didn't recorded get over with the new take. May have been a spot where they punched in the vocal at that spot and missed covering the previous take by a split second. You had to punch in manually off the console in those days. And being it was so short it wasn't worth trying to get rid of it. Today in software you can just highlight it and hit delete. Tape, not so easy.

What did they used, an 8 track machine? Led Zeppelin 2 still my favorite album. Just one weak track, livin' lovin' maid she' s just a woman. But there is "What is and what should never be, Ramble on and Heartbreaker" on it. Funny, on the second chorus the voice compressor attack time is a bit to late.

Hard to describe the tone of the main guitar : not sure what amp he used for the orig. recording, I've read it was a Supra, but I really don't know.
