He said "Way down deep inside, you need love" so, you know... A back-door man was an old school reference to being the man on the side, but the double-entendre wasn't lost on anyone either.

Man, the look on Smokey's face when he heard that line. Priceless.😂😂

The use of BACKDOOR back in the 1930s to the 70s was Not a reference to Anal but old bluesmen wrote about a (or) the BACKDOOR man who was the lover of the woman when the husband was working slave hours and too tired for sex when he got home usually late the lover takes the Backdoor to get out of the place quick smart. Not a HOLLYWOOD use of the word that now exists. Simple!

His voice is somehow more remarkable when you consider he was twenty years old when he sang this.

In the blues scene, "back door man" refers to a wife's side piece who slips out the back door when the husband comes home through the front door.

"Back door man" is a common phrase in blues music, it refers to a cheating relationship where the guy has to sneak in and out the back door before the husband or boyfriend come home through the front door.

The riff and swing of the rhythm alone can tell you what you need to know in this song.

We were jammin this the first time I got high in school. Fell in love with Zeppelin and MJ that day. Thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane.

I was 16 when this came out. Always been my favorite Zep song. Zep, the GOATs.

Next up, "The lemon song. " it pairs well with this one. Lol.

Just epic. Nothing more or less. Best Rock´n Roll Band ever !

This is one of my mom's and my favorite song. Another great band that she showed me when I was a kid.

This song is amazing live! I got to see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience live twice (John Bonham's son's official tribute band), the second time was with Heart as well and both bands played "Stairway To Heaven" together at the end of the show. It was freaking EPIC!!! lol

This song is a reworking of the song You Need Love written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters. During the breakdown, the video shows Jimmy using a violin bow on his guitar, however he didn't use one on this song, but, he did use it on a few others, most notably Dazed and Confused. Instead, the strange sounds were created by Jimmy playing a Theremin which is an instrument that resembles an aerial that creates oscillating tones by moving your hand near to and away from the aerial while controlling pitch with a dial on the console. It was often used in sci-fi movies to create eerie sounds but The Beach Boys also used it on their song Good Vibrations. Near the end when you hear the echo of "Woman...you need it" that came about because some of Robert's vocals bled through the tape and they couldn't get rid of it so they soaked it in reverb and Jimmy used a backwards echo technique to make the echo sound like it preceded the actual sung lyric.

One thing about most every Led Zeppelin song, every member, John Paul, Robert, Jimmy and John, get a chance to shine and show his skills. Which are many.

Best Thrash Metal Band IMO

You guys never cease to amaze me…..in a great way.

Jimmy playing a theremin worth checking out the live version.

There's a lot of talk about how the "speed metal" and hard-hitting punk rock of the 80s was a direct response to the long drawn-out psychedelic rock of the 60s and 70s. I think Led Zepp deserves a lot of credit for starting to push rock towards something more dynamic and powerful, even though they did have their own self-indulgent epic songs. But even their songs that were longer or slower still had an energy and power to them that was different than what had come before. So, hat's off to them \,,/ Speaking of punk, it would be cool to see you guys react to Minor Threat or Bad Brains. Keep up the good work 🤙

Reminds me of my Junior High years, decades ago. LZ coming out of my bedroom. My parents freaked out, Chubby Checkers was rock and roll to them.

Hard to say since Led is arguably my favorite band of all time but this has to be in my top 3 favorite of their songs. So many greats but the guitar groove, drumming & vocals are so amazing. One of the best songs to listen to when driving on a sunny day with the windows down!

CRYING when Smokey realized what the song was about lol Now its time you do LOLA by Kinks. There are so many songs that hide things in it. Rolling Stones Shes so cold . lol

Yes in my opinion he's definitely talking about his big Richard 🤣✌️✌️

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

Amazing , these guys played in their early twenties, now that’s talent,

100% CORRECT Smokey....This blistering track from Led Zeppelin's second album contains some of Robert Plant's most lascivious lyrics, culled from the blues. It's not poetry, but he gets his point across quite effectively, letting the girl know that he's yearning, and ready to give her all of his love - every inch.

When he says " I wanna be your backdoor man" he's not necessarily saying he wants to enter in the backdoor, hes saying he wants to be your side piece who has to sneak out the backdoor when your hubby comes home.

Morning fellas! Omg! That was great!😂 Guess you got the lyrical analysis of that one huh! Haha! Great time guys!🤓❤️

And Zeppelin is like fine wine then we got better with age.

Dude said Robert wanted to spread love. LMFAO. Hilarious.

This is what we used to call acid metal.......when you were tripping this was cool...if you had a good stereo system in your car, you could hear the music switching back and forth, circling you....freaking awesome

It’s always time to get the LED Out 🎸🔥💃🏿😎☮️🥳🥳🥳

When I was 18 and growing up in the Midwest this band took me to places I had never been to.

"SHAKE FOR ME GIRL, I WANNA BE YOUR BACKDOOR MAN"

Loving the Rob Zombie shirt Smokey!👍

The saying" I wanna be your back door man" meant that while the husband is coming in the front door, a guy is going out the back door.

yea he wants to spread love. every inch.

Man brings me back- jack Daniel's and blackouts - my favorite all time band!

Zeppelin The Monsters of Rock

Back door man is the lover who slips out the back door while the husband opens the front door. It is an old expression repeated in blues songs about an affair with a married woman. There is a Zeppelin song where Plant sings he opens his front and hears his back door slam. He is the husband being cheated on.

Spot on!!!!!!!!!!

Y’all asked me to do this in a live stream so here goes….Aaron O’keefe Foundation kids covering Tool-Sober, Guns and Roses - You Could Be Mine, Ozzy- No More Tears, etc..

Unfortunately this version is cut short, it came out a few years ago, why they would cut out a few measures from the middle is silly, no matter the reason... they CHANGED the song..a song that's been my favorite for over 45 years... it's truly stupid they cut out a little, maybe to be more radio friendly? (which is a bullshit reason)

SMOKEY IS ON THE MONEY

It is incredible but this is definitely one of the most impressive songs of this band, the brutal sound of the instruments, the prolonged musical solo, Robert's vocalizations that at the time this band was persecuted and branded by a group of occult conservatives, from In fact, it was widely said that Robert's vocalizations were a kind of invocation. Every time I listen to it I get goosebumps. It is wonderful!

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. Check out The Lemon Song for a similar theme.
