Video info: Jimmy Page was the one who wrote lyrics for the entire first Led Zeppelin album. And it wasn’t until the second album that he managed to convince Plant to join in. Plant soon developed a clear set of directions in his lyrics. Sexuality on one hand and storytelling on the other. Specifically nordic and whelsh mythology caught his interest. In this video we’ll talk about Led Zeppelin’s musicianship and Robert Plant’s fascination with northern mythology.

Please make something about the band CheVelle. They had so many hits during the early 00s and all over such an awesome discography but it seems to me that they are nowadays way to unknown and underrated…

I truly hate classifying artists, and i strongly believe everyone sees things differently which we should all respect, but Led Zeppelin's greateness is something undoubtable, i've been listening for years now and i can't wrap my head around how good they were. And videos like these make me appreciate them even more, thanks Lie!

David Bennett?
7:32 not a mellotron. He played an electric piano (Hohner Electra-Piano + effects). A mellotron is a completely different instrument that plays actual instrument samples on tapes (1 tape per key). Mellotron is used to do string orchestration on Kashmir live, for example.

Would you ever talk about a bass line in a song? For instance Ramble on has one of my favorite bass lines ever, it carries the song more than the guitar I think almost as if Page and Jones switched roles for this song.

Another superb JPJ bass moment: the tone and playing on Heartbreaker. When you hear just Plant and the bass in the verse, that thick tone carries the movement in such a way that sticks out to me, and nicely juxtaposes Pages guitar that comes in at the end of every other bar.

0:48 Plant was under contract with another record label during their first album, they didn't want to credit Plant on the first album to avoid paying royalties to the other label (not to mention most of lyrics were lifted from other artists' work).

Still my favorite band of all time
Great thumbnail Scandinavian Metal Attack's Thor 🤘
I studied Mythology in college and the Norse Mythology has a unique and valuable perspective on Life and Death, obviously influenced by the cold, harsh habitat. I also recognized and appreciated Led Zeppelin's Norse mythology references in No Quarter and Immigrant Song. As for Ramble On, however, references to Tolkien characters are not really "Nordic Mythology".
So stoked I found your channel. I love rock and I love Norway! My family lives in Bergen ☺️ Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time, albeit Metallica and Depeche Mode are tied for a close second. Thanks for this awesome video! Edit: you can play, too! Wow! 👏🏽👏🏽

The main guitar riff in No Quarter is one of the most orgasmic things ever in music. Actually not just the guitar but also the keys, bass and drums all together... It's transcending, no other way to put it. That song and Ramble On, both perfect in my book. Of course LZ has lot of perfect tunes. One of my "definitive" rock bands for sure, and the list would go from era to the next: (punk and metal not included) The Doors Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Van Halen The Cure Jane's Addiction Soundgarden Incubus Queens of the Stone Age Tame Impala

Interesting video 👍✌️💜😊 I feel that "No Quarter" is more about either the Templars, or more than likely, the Albigenses/ "Cathars" (especially the two who escaped siege of Montségur😉 with "News [new testament?] That must get through"🤔).
No quarter is one of my favourite LZ songs.

How can you not know Zeppelin??? OMG...start listening to their music! Greatest band in history.
I think the lyrics of No Quarter were written after the music, so the music wasn't crafted to follow the lyrics. The reason I think that is that there are earlier versions of No Quarter to be found on You Tube with no lyrics. In fact in one of them Plant sings along without lyrics, he's just singing la la la sounds.

Good video when I saw the title I was expecting the battle for evermore to be one of those covered but I guess you can't cover everything. Maybe it was just too obviously inspired by the Lord of the rings.

Here on David Bennett's recommendation.
Here from David Bennett Piano
You can link the world of LOTR with Norse mythology. Tolkien was inspired by Norse mythology. Dwarves and Elves are in both Norse sagas and his books. Naming swords and axes were a viking thing like in LOTR. Gandalf was inspired by Odin and the word Gandalf is norse for Wand Elf.
When I hear this song, like some other from Led Zep, I don't see Vikings, I see a witch cabin in the snowy dusk, and I see Krampuses. 😅

For me, Jimmy Page is the gamut of life’s past into future the lessons we learn by others &of suffering and the magnificent beauty around us if we pay tribute to it - into music into rock- the ride into past & future. Robert Plant is a Sex & Love Sultan that connects the human in harmony.
Cool vid, though I do have one complaint. Valhalla is not the norse version of christianity's heaven. The two religions developed very far from each other, so the only influence was when the stories were actually written down on paper, as the norse preferred an oral tradition.

There's definitely a lyrical connection there yes
Immigrant song is clearly about Icelandic people's emigrating to Greenland. Fight me.
And where exactly is Led Zeppelin´s connection to Norsk Mythology now, apart from having written TWO songs - and a song connected to Tolkien, who himself had nothing to do with Norsk Mythology? You could just as well see a "connection" to dogs, because they wrote Bron Yr Aur Stomp...
