  Welcome to uninstallum fum from the podcast about the ep Zepellian and today I'
• 0:07
  m going to tell you about this album called Bueno. Before that, the
• 0:15
  previous success of the album or the previous album forced them to remove new material
• 0:26
  as soon as possible. The problem was the time, for in a thousand
• 0:32
  nine hundred and sixty- nine they made three tours. Throughout the United States
• 0:36
  there was no way that they would stop and start writing new material in the
• 0:40
  calm of because London, not there in England, could not give from one
• 0:49
  side to the other. Therefore, they began to write songs during their journeys
• 0:55
  through the United States of America. They did it in their dead days in
• 1:02
  hotels, in buses, in cafes on half a road and they were recording
• 1:07
  it in the studios that kept them close. For this reason, when let
• 1:11
  Zeppeling number two appeared in October of the sixty- nine, six different recording
• 1:19
  studios were listed on the cover. In the end, however, a set
• 1:25
  of songs was created that would build one of his most important record works.
• 1:30
  They didn' t know how they had gotten him. John Pol Jones was
• 1:34
  surprised. He said that maybe the pressure they were under is when, because
• 1:38
  they already know you have to comply with something and you barely have time to
• 1:42
  do it, you force yourself to work more intensely without wasting seconds. It
• 1:48
  was an album that demonstrated the sense of efficiency. They got into any studio.
• 1:53
  They recorded few shots and that was all because the next day or that
• 1:59
  very night I had a concert. They were really insanity, but the result
• 2:04
  was magnificent. Jimmy Page, though, wasn' t that happy. He
• 2:08
  says that Det Zeppelin Two was a record made with too much haste. They
• 2:14
  were so busy that they didn' t have time to be in the studio
• 2:19
  and polishing it became almost ridiculous to him. The fact that they recorded instrumental
• 2:23
  tracks in London, the voices in New York, the harmonica in Vancouver and
• 2:28
  thus mixing different places in everything, which was good for him, was somewhat
• 2:35
  hasty and confusing, and so was the whole process. Obviously, this worried
• 2:40
  that there was a very bad album left, but there maybe luck helped them.
• 2:46
  Finally, there was the fact that at that time they were one of
• 2:51
  the few bands that made heavy rock. The rest was really into folk,
• 2:57
  the country roots, soft rock, and they just played a loud, blusero
• 3:01
  rock. Again, the criticism of the United States treated them badly and despised
• 3:07
  the album. However, people went crazy with the wild presentation of songs like
• 3:13
  Holward Love and hard Breaker. The sensuality of The Lemon Song, for example,
• 3:21
  in the phrase I squeezed shakes until the game drains through my legs or
• 3:23
  the beauty of tona songs like Whadison, What chut Never Be. Obviously,
• 3:32
  the pricey tehncue so sales outperformed those of the previous album, but the commercial
• 3:38
  factor was not the most important. The album was, in spite of everything
• 3:42
  and everyone, a step forward in the quality of the songs. There was
• 3:46
  an advance in his style, as they were already more compacted, the lyrics
• 3:51
  were better made, the compositions were own and a very interesting use of the
• 3:57
  effects and resources of the studio, as can be seen in the central part
• 4:01
  of hollra Love Buena. It is useful to use multiple guitars in Rumblelowne otherwise
• 4:09
  than, for example, with Led Zeppelin. One This time they decided to
• 4:13
  release a single, although it was only in the United States and the chosen
• 4:17
  one was precisely holl Do role Of in a shorter version edited for radio,
• 4:24
  which was an immediate success, thanks to everything, especially for the Inicium riff,
• 4:30
  and the vocalizations of plant The theme, by the way, was a
• 4:34
  cover of an old plus by Willie Dixon, but on the album there is
• 4:39
  no credit for this, which would later provoke a lawsuit that forced the group
• 4:43
  to pay royalties and there to include the name of legendary blustero in the following
• 4:46
  editions. Peter Brand maintained the idea of not making a single in Britain and
• 4:50
  when he found out that the Atlantic subsidiary that was releasing Holgar Loft as an
• 4:59
  ig single in England on the radio was angry and thoroughly proved that they did.
• 5:06
  The label executives did not understand how they could not promote the album with
• 5:12
  but a single. But well, the strategy of showing led Zeppelin as an
• 5:17
  album maker and not as a single was correct. In January of nineteen hundred
• 5:23
  and seventy Letzepplin Lost was in the first place also in England, unpacking even
• 5:29
  the Beatles on the Melody Maker list. The band was finally prophet in their
• 5:34
  own land. Now t from Led Zeppelin two there are very interesting songs the
• 5:42
  whole album, throughout the album, because, sinceeta is almost no longer used
• 5:45
  what is album, but the entire album is full of inventive riffs. In
• 5:50
  fact, there is an anecdote near Tony Iomi, of Black Sabbath that,
• 5:58
  when it is released or also a song that they steamed out to complete one
• 6:02
  of the albums, he did not want to release it because it sounded very
• 6:10
  much like Led Zeppelin and at that time, because Le Tzeplan was also causing
• 6:15
  great feats, especially in the United States, and the other time he was
• 6:19
  listening to the album Caro. Right now I' m telling you the general
• 6:23
  story, but then I' m going to break down song by song so
• 6:28
  you have all the information you need. But, right now, I want
• 6:29
  to tell you that last time you already see that sometimes he puts your hearing
• 6:33
  aids to sleep, although he recommends not to. The truth is that most
• 6:35
  of us do it, so as not to disturb the people around. So,
• 6:43
  in this sense I was in that State of Blue and good night in
• 6:47
  this hundred that you fall asleep and not and started holl lo or lf sorry,
• 6:56
  no hart Breaker and I can tell you that it' s something that
• 7:01
  I dropped the twenty the way they did this song, a song that'
• 7:10
  s definitely based on the riff. There' s not that many rhythm guitars,
• 7:13
  there' s nothing. It is only a repeated riff several times that
• 7:16
  gives this song an excellent, as structure or history. I don' t
• 7:27
  know what we could call it. But if you listen to him carefully and
• 7:30
  when he does the full story of the song, you will know what I
• 7:33
  mean, Hart Breaker, for my taste, is one of the best accomplished
• 7:36
  songs of this album and also followed by Lemmond Song. As far as heavy
• 7:42
  rock is concerned, it' s true and it' s good in that
• 7:46
  understanding, it' s that that kind of music was bringing out led Zepplin
• 7:51
  and that' s what Tony Iomi didn' t want to expose himself to
• 8:00
  when he took Paranoid out of Black Sabbath and in the end, they ended
• 8:03
  up calling you the album Paranoiy, because the song turned out to be a
• 8:03
  commercial success. What would be of the few. Maybe commercial because then it
• 8:09
  would be a heavier, more cult- oriented bands, more style- oriented
• 8:13
  and Zeppeling. Well, then, as it would also evolve, but the
• 8:18
  sound and direction would be very different. So far today' s chapter.
• 8:22
  I hope you liked this anecdote or this situation that was presented to Led Zeppling
• 8:28
  members to create the album Led Zeppeling Dos, an album made to the race,
• 8:33
  but an album that marked history and led them to be catalogued as one
• 8:37
  of the best bands in the world of music. I' m and I
• 8:43
  ' m TNS. I remember giving and sharing. See you here at the
• 8:46
  next broadcast.
