Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin
All rights go to Led Zeppelin. This is their song, not mine, and it is one of their best in my opinion.
Of course, all their songs are great. 🙂
Thought I would share this song with you, because it is one of my favorite songs, and I love it.
Comment, Rate, and Subscribe. More to come 🙂
I cannot believe people think Deep Purple & Rainbow are better than
Zeppelin.
no one touches Bonzo, best drummer of all time
Even better than Stairway to Heaven IMO *jumps back into bomb shelter*
“With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again ” ♪♥♫
Good morning and wish you all to have an amazing day ! 
my fav album, but it s personnal, i could live civilization and just
bringing this album a mp3 to listen to it a dynamo with gallons of petrol
so i got enough to listen to it, some candles , mmm wait can i brought mi
ps1 a tv some instant chinese noodles, and some bottle of the cousin of my
dad (sweet white wine,
What I find amazing about this track is how it is 10 minutes, but doesn’t
seem slow. In fact, i could have this song much longer than this. It never
loses it’s speed, it just keeps going.
If I was named achilles, I would happily have this as my Theme. 
Led. Fucking. Zeppelin.
It’s that time again. Zeppelin.
Why do I-IV get all the praise? This is their best track ever!
What kind of shit-eating mongoloid gives this a thumbs down?
Oh wait, they’re shit-eating mongoloids.
This is certainly one of their best songs, maybe better than Stairway to
Heaven.
Why the fuck doesn’t this song ever get airplay? It’s one the best songs
they wrote. I hear Stairway 3 times a day on the radio, but never this one.
Lyrics—“Achilles’ Last Stand”
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?
With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again
Sending 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.
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 crowd
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.
Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers 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 & wandering, What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
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 [X2]
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
321 people eat shit…and probably love it. 
Six decent songs, 8 very long albums, yes indeed I am quite serious. To
put it into some perspective Led Zep IV (Zoso)
came out when I was in High School. I was not in the least like most of
the well, “lunkheads” at my school who thought that Zep Lepplen was the all
to end all. I prefered a bit better music such as Jimi Hendrix, The Doors,
The Jefferson Airplane,
The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed during that time period. Oh yes and John
Lennon’s songs he put out during his “lost years”. And how could I forget
about Bob Dylan and Blood on the Tracks. And others. It always seemed to
me that Led Zeppelin and their “music” catered to and drew in the pimply
faced 15 year old males with their testosterone levels far to high and
showed it by either bullying others around or fighting. I mean even
Clapton has always been a gentleman but it’s obvious he never cared for
what Led Zeppelin did with the type of music they, meaning Led Zeppelin,
Cream/Blind Faith/Derek and the Dominos for Clapton and The Jeff Beck
Group/Beck Ola for Jeff Beck. And all the Hendrix records.
The music that Clapton was talking about was the old American Blues and
what Zeppelin did with that and how they were famous at “borrowing” old
blues songs and not giving the credit to the person who wrote it thus
screwing some poor old man now out of his royalties. On the other hand Eric
Clapton made it *his* job to go track down the men and women who wrote
songs he covered and if necessary he would personally take their royalty
checks and give them to the person/s.
Coincidence just now. Had my brain stuck on the world “Royalty” and was
looking on google and there is an article on their
about Led Zeppelin as being one of the biggest song thieves in rock and
roll history. And now they are up for an award for
songwriting. Whew…what a joke if it wasn’t so sickening. Same thing
with Madonna, she never wrote a song in her life and she got the
songwriting award. Life is so full of irony and strange happenings that
you don’t need to make them up.
HA!
Brian
I’ve had this stuck in my head all damn day. Could have been worse , I
guess.
#LED ZEPPELIN- “Achilles Last Stand” sj~13 #ROCK ICONIC
Don’t get me wrong Bonham was a great drummer but i cant compare him to
Neil Peart.
Peart just has a unique characteristic about him that i cannot put my
finger on but they are the 2 best drummers on earth but i favour Peart.
7:25 I can think of a lot of pithy, trite ways of describing the drumming
on this, trains, machine guns, the pounding hearts of titans locked deep in
the earth, but none of them work. The only way to describe the drumming on
this is to say “John Henry Bonham”.
Trolls coming to this video to say “led zeppelin stole this song oh my god
I hate them”. If you have a problem go and listen to your music because
your opinion obviously counts more than others. There are many great bands
but you don’t need to always brag how one is better than another. If you
don’t like Led Zeppelin don’t comment on a Led Zeppelin song. Peace. And
respect to you Led Zeppelin fans. 
Absolutely best Led Zeppelin….
I listen to this so many times, I had to stop for like 20 years, starting
to get in to it again.
I listen to this before final exams…
One of my all-time favorite Zep song. Loved Presence and Physical Graffiti,
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin
CAVALCATA SELVAGGIA
NEI PASCOLI DEL SOLE
NERO DESTRIERO SCINTILLA
TIZZONE D’INFERNO NURAGICO
VENTO DI GRIDA GUERRIERE.
DENTRO L’ABISSO DIAMANTINO
NELL’ALTO DELLA GOLA I GRIFONI
PROFONDO VERDE E FRESCO
PESCI D’ARCOBALENO
SUSSURRO DI SIRENE
CANTO DI FATE NEL BOSCO.
RIEMERGIAMO COME DEI ALATI
VOLANDO SUL DESERTO DI PIETRA
ETERNITA’ SILENTE DI PACE.
PORTIAMO LA NOSTRA FURIA DI LIBERTA’
INSIEME ALL’ACQUA DELLA VITA
CHE FARA’ NASCERE LE PEONIE
NELLA PRIMAVERA CHE SI AVVICINA

This is Zeppelin,with Kashmir,this is what they where working toward and
this music is excellent no matter when the blues solos and stoned Bert
Janschy pickings will be less relevant.
I heard Mr. Plant was guilty of stuffing his crotch . Looks like they all
did for this photo.
Absolutely one of their best songs . This is one of my most favorite
albums. zep fan since I was 10 .
Maybe goes a bit too long, but this is a great song
Dat bass & those drums!
A legendary song by a legendary band
This to me is Page’s most epic guitar solo. Straight jams the fuck out,
that studio must’ve caught fire!!!
This should be in a Quentin Tarantino film :B
This makes me feel like I’m on a boat.
best rock band, best rock songs, best drummer, end of.

One can almost relate to the cosmic nature of the song, half way through I
could listen to the lap and gurgle of a giant river winding it’s way
through nooks and crannies of a mountain range. Every note and beat is
delivered with such forthrightness that it seems that it ought to be there
and nowhere else, on a Zeppelin album.
How can Achilles stand with a 10 metre cock around his neck and my razor
blade in his jugular?
Jesus Almighty, I think it goes Krupa, B.Rich, J.H. Bonham, and the
world`s best: Steve Gadd…. Page,J.P.Jones,Plant…the Best of the
Best…please visit POLARISprojectDOTorg…thanks youtube for all this
incredible audio-visual.
love this album gonna trash the dream come ride with me to a place only i
can be in my technicolor dream
One of many bad ass tunes from Led Zeppelin !
Best Led Song Period!
Love this song. Reminds me of a Grateful Dead song. Zep is epic. If you
like this song check out the the Grateful Dead. They jam way harder than
Zep. This song is closest they got to perfection.
Ah,… to only have been there. And I was…
those drum fills… fuck man
What a great perform from John Bonham !
These lyrics…this composure as a whole…this galloping rythm in drums
and bass (copied by million heavy metal bands afterwards)…there are more
guitar licks and ideas here that most guitarists strive to get in a
lifetime…
THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER.
