Jack looked so happy giving that speech. He probably wanted to say that all his life. BEST BAND EVER

He has been saying it all his life, just not on tv with Led Zep, Letterman and the President in the audience while getting an ovation for saying it.

it's funny i never really thought of them as heavy metal, for a rock band they were so unbelievably eclectic, funk, country, folk, rock, pop, reggae, blues, samba, to name a few. The weren't just a rock band nor heavy metal, they were an education.

They are not every metal, & they hated being called a metal band. If they were a metal band, I’d hate them, yet they are my favorite band for around 50 years.
he's so right. BEST BAND EVER.

When Jack was making the movie, "School of Rock." he wanted a Zep song...but being the band that they are, they don't easily give out their songs. So Jack and the crew of the movie made a music video to give to Led Zeppelin to show why they needed to have one of their songs in the movie. after seeing the video they agreed. So just think how important of a moment this was for Jack Black to be able to say thank you at this level.

Franky Broadcast Its astonishing the satanic Backward masking messages in Stairway to Heaven.... Look at the list...these are clearly heard in reverse... "There is no escaping it" "The Lord turned me off" "My sweet Satan" "He will give us 666' "I live with Satan" and there is more... and there is even gnashing of teeth that can be heard backwards. (a reference to the Scripture in the Bible "there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth".) Surely, Plant knew about this backward masking....watch carefully when he sings "and you know sometimes words have two meanings" in the Live Concert Video (referring to the backward messages...and how deliberately Plant flips his two fingers back and forth to the audience....surely Plant knew... ) and Just look at their logo on the center of the album...an angel being cast out of Heaven! This is eery and supernatural in nature...how can someone create a song with the destiny of this song, and make it work forwards to reach the heights it has, and make sense forwards, yet still embed these complex Satanic messages. Yes, Satan is real. And so is the Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to destroy the works of the devil and save sinners from the devil's blinding power and plans to kill, steal and destroy everyone in his path. Thank God that His mighty power is far greater than Satan, who is merely a fallen angel. One holy angel, at God's command, lays hold on the Devil, binds him in chains and throws him into the bottomless pit. Ultimately, Satan and his demons will be cast into the lake of fire and will be tormented day and night forever, along with all the wicked, and unbelievers. Repent, and seek the LORD people. Get a Bible...Ask God for mercy....follow hard after Jesus! He is worthy. His sheep will hear His voice, and follow Him. Are you one of His lost sheep? www.LifeChangingSermons.com is packed with Bible Reading and teaching.

Franky Broadcast That is why it has survived for almost 2000 years... That is why it uniquely does not flatter man. That is why it contains prophecy that has been fulfilled. Example: Psalm 22. Written over 100 years before Christ's birth...fulfilled in detail. I think you need to take the Bible seriously because it talks about your sins...your sins... your sins....that you know bind you....

@@classicjukebox a lot of things have survived for 2000 years and reciting verses is not an argument that will convince anyone god is real. i believe there is no right and wrong because we're the ones who came up with that idea, there is no god above who watches and judges us, there is only animals like us roaming the earth and we happen to be smarter than every species because we asked 'why?'. am i right? i don't know shit, but neither does anyone so it's best to admit that you have believes that could be wrong despite how strongly you believe in them.
i love how jimmy is cracking up in the audience
Jack Black owns it. His walk to the microphone; that strut. How he did it was amazing. Two minutes. That's all it took, but boy did he represent. Funny as hell. Opinionated. Thematic. Everything he said, every word had great portent. Didn't Lincoln say it all in two minutes with "The Gettysburg Address?" Out of all his great comedic performances I think this was his finest moment.
Man, I could not believe the audience didn't roar with a huge cheer when Jack shouted, "BONZO!" I get the feeling there may have been more than a few in the crowd who had no idea who Bonzo was. Ouch, that hurts. Well, many in the crowd don't look like they have been educated much on THE ZEP. :(

True words. Zeppelin will never grow old. Best band ever!!
Since Jack Black set a benchmark in presenting a short, sharp, witty, and engaging tribute like this, it is quite difficult for anyone to match it in years to come.
2012 was lit. Yo yo ma was like "Damn son zepathon when I get back home."
honestly.. i start to like led zeppelin because this speach .. that make me wonder how good this.. after zepphaton.. I sure this rock should be sound..truely legend..

Such a confident, talented man. Love him.
I just cried watching this as soon as he said the best band ever I just broke down for some reason...
Jack's probably had that speech ready since he was 8.
Hey, guys. Jack Black made me do the Zeppathon. After hearing all of their songs, I can definitely say that a lot of songs that I have never heard before in comments are very good and I can agree that the entire zeppelin catalog is great. Thanks, Jack Black and youtube commenters!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. And of course, as usual, Jack is right about everything

"The Rock n Roll Hajj. Something every heavy metal fan must do once in their life time. The pilgrimage to Meccah." hearing this on Eid day just hits different.
Jack is the only person who could have pulled that off so well ❤❤❤
Over the nam when i first heard them...best band ever!!
Goddamn that's a hell of tribute! Zapathon!
It’s so fitting that the musicians played Immigrant Song for Jack Black’s introduction since it was the exact song that he had recorded a video request to the surviving members of Led Zeppelin to allow him to use in his film School Of Rock.
He's not wrong. Led Zeppelin epitomizes Rock and Roll!
Led Zeppelin were Giants among mere mortals!
jimmys reaction is so funny 😂
I almost fell of my chair when he said the Zepathon. I still remember listening to all Zep albums in a row when I was 14 y/o. I always thought I was crazy for doing that, I guess I am not the only one.
this is really inspiring. And I say so because it inspired me to actually do a Zepathon. I went to the heavy metal Mecca and now I can be proud of being a rock’n’roll pilgrim.
..and the best opening tribute ever 🥰
This is not the greatest speech of all time, this is just a tribute to Led Zeppelin
This was so great. Wow. Kudos to Jack Black
conocer a led zeppelin fue, es y sera una de las mejores decisiones que tome en mi vida... creo que cambiaron mi vida en muchos sentidos y, desde allí, empece a adorarlos y a amar el rock and roll hasta el día de hoy.... no conocí jamas una banda mejor.... y sinceramente me parece justo y necesario haberles dado este reconocimiento antes de irse de este mundo.... En las palabras de JB mejores que los beatles... mejores que los stones... sin lugar a dudas..... BEST BAND EVER.
Best band ever everyone
Jack black is cool guy.and he knows his music
I love Jack Black so much there will never be another like him🥲🤘🏽
*BEST* *BAND* *EVER*
Led Zeppelin - Best Band Ever! 🖤 Thank you, Jack Black.
best speech ever!i'm doing the zep-athon tonight!
Jack, you're the best person, ever!
I’m on In Through The Out Door in the Zepplathon right now!
What a speech! Best band ever!
When I was 14 I would go to a friends house and we would do things, listen to LED ZEPPELIN and watch Keystone Cops.😊
Ok, I need to do my Zepathon now
Led Zeppelin along with David Letterman This is class
Yep defiantly in the top 3 that started metal way back when.. Zeppelin, Sabbath & Purple!
This isn’t the greatest speech in the world .. this is just a tribute
Jack killed it!!
Good job jack black the best tribute speech of all time..every single word...
In my teens Led Zeppelin was the band we all admired & still do. A fashion was to carry a Led Zep. 2 album around under one arm.
Wonder how Jack Black reacted to meeting the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin. Did they enjoy School of Rock?
#BestBandEver
JB's bit on Zeppelin and Jon Stewart's bit at Springsteen's Kennedy Center Honors are two of the best comedic bits.
The Best!
He is right, taking almost anyway way you can quantify it, in total...Greatest Band EVER!! 🤘
He's absolutely correct. I cannot think of a better band.
I want Jack Black in my corner at the Heavenly Gates!

Jack speaks the truth, so good they had him speak for Zep cos remember all the way back in School of Rock and in the behind the scenes you see the video of Jack pleading with Zep to let them use a song in the film and they did! Must be some mutual respect there.
I wish I was there too! I LOVE them!!!
You can argue 2nd best until the cows come home, but there can be only one GOAT. When it comes to real, honest-to-god, melt your face off, ROCK AND ROLL BANDS...Led Zeppelin, is the GOAT.
