Led Zeppelin - Achilles' Last Stand Lyrics

Yeah Led was a level above rock and roll. A progenitor of things to come.

Best Led Zeppelin song ever!

Nobody:
Iron maiden: Lets build out entire carrer on this rythm :o

Ha haaa yes!!!

This is my favorite. Followed by Kasmir, STH, and Levee.

one of the most underated songs of led zeppelin ,you really feel in the sky . by the way anybody know what is the picture and from what movie it was taking?

The album cover? I think it was a series of pictures produced for the album all including a mysterious object, which is supposed to be a representation of the band.

BONZO, un batteur hors pair, monstrueux
Un des meilleurs batteurs au monde, lourd puissant et technique

Maîtrise totale

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, excellent sur ce morceau

🤘🤘🤘🤘

The mightiest of Zep songs, which includes provocative lyrics, relentless drumming, and 4:44 my absolute favorite part of any Page solo.


Masterpiece!!

Hammer of the gods!

Classic Material

You know what that black object is? Remember Page was experimenting with faraday induction coils. It's a wireless router, conditioning you with various frequency responses, to be happy and GET WITH THE PROGRAM RECRUITS.

Uffffffff so prety

At 17 I loved all of their songs at 27 now only later albums but those strongly. I'm 100% certain this won't change until my death. Which is kinda sad because your life is kinda done.

Ladies and gentlemen his name is john henry 'Bonzo' bonham

How? just how the hell did Bonham last entire concerts man he was a GOD.

44 years before its time.

The guitar solo just makes you fly.

Thanks to THIS song we have Iron Maiden!!!

I first heard this song a thousand years ago

Norman Rockwell on acid!!

Is it just me?that album photo gives me the chills

Lots of freakout Easter eggs

I've been a music addicted person for years now and I never stopped exploring the discography of worthy bands, such as Zeppelin. I've heard many, many amazing songs but boy, when I heard this song for the very first time, it was just something else. I don't even know how to describe the greatness, the mightyness (this is probably not even a proper english word but fuck it) of this song. I mean they were an amazing band and they're my 4th favourite band of all time but in this song...they all took it to the next level, all 4 of them. This is one of those rare songs were every single element it's giving his 200%. The drumming in this one is just UNREAL, has to be the best drumming of any studio recording. JPJ on the bass it's like a fucking machine gun, constantly powering up the song and carrying it through, Jimmy Page's guitar is all over the place but in such a good way and that solo....is just so intense and full of emotion...And finally there is Robert's voice which, despite the car crash, was still much better than many other "great" voices. I've been a musician for many years and the more I listen to quality music and the more I'm convinced of this : music is subjective but also objective, What I mean by this is that it's a FACT that a song like this one is a MASTERPIECE. So if anyone doesn't like a song like this, that person simply didn't get the gift of having great taste in music

Totally forgot about this song until I saw the cover! As soon as I heard the first few notes it brought me back to high school. I remember when John Bonham died and the person behind me wore a black armband for at least a week! Amazing drummer and band...so sad I never got to see them live!

...and that was their last stand at making a good song.

A true heavy metal song.

Legends for a Lifetime and beyond.

Other uploads of this song are getting blocked for me.

I think this one and Pink Floyd's Sorrow have the best solos of all time. I still remember listening to it for the first time when I was 15 or 16. It blew my mind.

Gilmour and Paige, both vastly different but unmatched.

Such GOOD MUSIC...sez Roddy

Led-Zeppelins songs are just incredible but Mr. Bonzo on the drum's got dam! timing and speed are just crazy fast and accurate wow.........rip BONZO.....you and Zepp are missed.......

What is it about Bonhams hi hat that nobody can reproduce???...please tell me,I'm a guitarist

Bohnam hits those drums like they owe him money🤘🏻

HAHA, so True

This song -- on first listen perhaps not particularly gripping -- lays eggs in one's brain that hatch a couple days later to feast, returning you -- now a minion to its wants -- nearly daily until the madness passes.

Damn that’s as good as it gets

deleite de inicio a fin, uuuuuufffffff

I think that this song is better than beat it ny Michael Jackson
Just saying. ?..

heart barracuda

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

Por canciones como esta, stairway to heaven, kashmir y no quarter no ha habido ni habrá banda que se acerque a led zeppelin

It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Oh, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Slipping off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devil's in his hole
Oh, to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh, to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun, the south, the north
At last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowds, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Days went by when you and I
Bathed in eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual child did grow
Oh the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again
Wandering and wandering
What place to rest the search?
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Led Zeppelin was the best band in the history of all bands. They put you in a trance, brought you to your knees, sweating and begging for more! The best orgasm in the world.

Love Bonham's drumming on this song. The amazing kick-drum pattern he was able to get from a single bass drum is insane! And the rest of the drum patterns and fills he came up with for this song..sound like wild horses galloping into the night. He never used a metronome while practicing... John Bonham WAS a human metronome! And he never used a click track in the studio. A producers dream as Jimmy Page has said repeatedly over the years ...

Dá Hora TRUTA

The slayer of medusa the killer of Giants and king of Olympia

pretty innocent album cover, just a family, nothing wrong, and then you actually look at it and it turns out the family is staring into black void.

Jimmy Page always completely losing control on every zeppelin solo

Que temazo!! Me lleva a mis 16 años

They base is like 1000 horses comíng yo You!

whats this picture? haha

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCixaYS5R4Uudr4Y6VI-Lt8g / Hi guys! You can now listen to the bonham battery section in isolation! go through the channel, new videos are coming

Feels like Rush 🤔🤔🤔

Bravo ⚘⚘⚘⚘

if an alien was to ask me for some human music this is probably what id play

Oh to ride the wind

Raw Power!

If I could go through the porthole I'd see The Mighty Led - With Jimmy Page:(The Guitar-rage Up On The Sage).

G O A T !

Bonham, JPJ, Page and Plant are hitting on all 8 cylinders on this classic. Page's solo is very melodic and mesmerizing in this great classic song.

LED ZEPPELIN

This is the bohemian rapsody of music.

Brilliant
Nothing less

Mars Volta y Maiden bebieron de esta fuente.

Bonham: Animal unleashed

This was my third owned c.d. The first was Led Zeppelin II. I was a teenager in the late 90s, early 2000s, and I had the biggest crush on 1970s Robert Plant lol. Still do! Beautiful Viking Lord!

Old Albion, sleeping now to rise again.

B O N Z O

I remember getting the 1st Zeppelin remasters in 1990 on cassette and i never heard this song before...Favorite song since i heard it ..totally mindblowing! 10 plus minutes is long but it gets better and better as it plays on in my opinion...Presence in my opinion is their best sounding album and Bonham's drums are monstrous and amazing

удивительно что в этой песне нет ни ВАВУ ни ВАВЕ...

Bonham's BEST performance!

BONHAM AT 1:17-1:18 and again at 2:17 - 2:18....explosive !!!
The whole song he's leading the charge. Fantastic stuff as usual.
Bonham !!!

2019. 🇧🇷

The best

8:25 passionate guitar solo

Really hope the drums were over 18...

there r better things than endless soliloquies for dead youth:
THIS

Im here with you

Por siempre, por siempre.....

THAT GODDAMN BASS OH MY GOD

Not 1 rock band besides LED ZEPPELIN had this energetic quarto. Every band had at least 1 weaker link, not the Zep. Each of the member would be a superstar in any other band, and that's what makes them the greatest band ever to exist on this planet.

Impossible stop listening this song. No way!

The GODS play this song.....at Judgement day !

Good song, but not as good as "Hot Dog".

Freaking CLASSIC

GRASSHOPPER: But Master, won’t running my car engine to listen to Led Zeppelin waste fuel and pollute the air?
MASTER PO: Grasshopper, the Zep is fuel unto itself, and enriches the very atmosphere of your existence. Besides, the accessory key position was created with Led Zeppelin in mind.

GRASSHOPPER: So Master, if a Led Zeppelin song is still playing on my car radio when I have arrived at my destination, then I must continue listening to the song?
MASTER PO: Silly Grasshopper. You will never want to do otherwise. Always remember, “Respect the Zep.”

I've been listening to Zep for 40 years...and do believe this song is their Everest!!...with many high mountains benith it of course! The drums alone catapults it up there! Not to mention the rest!

This bassline is pornographic

This ladies and gentlemen is rock without the blues.

HERMOSA!!!!

Without a doubt, Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands to walk on this planet.

I love the song I just wish YouTube wooden pause it halfway through asking me if I'm still fucking listening!

YouTube consistently keeps getting worse and worse, I deleted the app over this and I'm now using just the website to get around it but apparently they've updated the website to pause in the middle of fucking songs

I first heard this song in my early teens , it stopped me in my tracks , i never knew a band could make such a masterpiece. It changed my whole outlook on music , it pointed me in a direction i was glad i took. It will always be my favourite song.

This is after pink floyd the greatest band of all time,just listen to this guitar,after gilmour the best solo guitar ever,this is quality,this is true hard rock!!!

I'm only here because Mozart & Bach sent me.

Is this song like ?
