The way that Achilles dies is by being shot in the heal by Paris. It all happens really quickly and there is no "last"stand to speak of. meh....I don't see how the lyrics relate to Achilles AT ALL. Unless there is some other last stand this is referring to. Also the song refers to having a son in some far off land. Achilles never had a son! After reading this story i'm pretty disappoined in Zep for being non-sensical. Achilles' Homage is Fitting | Reviewer: Steve Rose | 4/8/2008 Only a group with Led Zeppelin's size and stature could ever produce a musical homily to the great God Achilles. We all know the story behind it, but once you look at the lyrics more deeply, you'll see Plant is reflecting on their past journies and what lies ahead. During it's recording, apparently Page overdubbed 9 guitar tracks!!! For all you 'youtube.com' addicts, search "the nobs - achilles last stand" and the version you'll find is one of the most mind blowing you'll ever hear! Achilles Last Stand, greatest Led Zeppelin tune!! | Reviewer: Kit Kat Bar | 3/31/2008 This song is in my opinion Jimmy Page's greatest guitar work (don't kill me!) and Robert Plant's greatest vocals! I love John Paul Jones' bass in this song, it's crazy good and the drums that John Bonham delivers just takes my breath away! No words can describe how great this song is!!! League of THEIR OWN!!! | Reviewer: JT | 3/24/2008 This song is gold man. the thing is spectacular and the lyrics are amazing! i mean how the hell do u write a song that is made up of incoherent bars?!?! Ask The Led cause they are the best at it. The NUMBER ONE BAND EVER!!!!! Page=GuitarGod Heh... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/12/2008 If you think about it, letting just anyone write reviews on a lyrics website about Led Zepplin (Or any band for that matter) will mean you will only get good reviews, due to the fact that the only people who would be looking up lyrics would be people who liked the song and wanted to know the words... Hey, not to hate on LZ. Excellent song, very well-done, very interesting to listen too as well. Page | Reviewer: Joe | 2/6/2008 I definitely agree that this song deserves more credit than it ever gets, it's a phenomenal song, one of Led Zeppelins greatest musical feats, up with Kashmir and No Quarter. btw, in case you didn't know, inasmuch as it doesn't get enough public credit, Jimmy Page has been quoted saying his favorite song is Achilles Last Stand. masterpiece from zeps | Reviewer: ali alvarado(nicaragua) | 2/9/2008 when i heard led zeppelin, the first thing i said was:"ey man what the hell" who is that fucking drummer? that kind of riffs ringing in my hears, oh my god!! that kind os sound bass guitar, and last, the dramatic, melodic and strongs voice from plant! holy smoke" I REALLY LOVE SO MUCH THIS SONG, LIKE OTHER ZEPS SONGS, BUT THIS IS SPECIAL TO ME!! WITH BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE, AND PINK FLOYD,THE FOUR ROOTS OF ROCK!! YEAH!!! (Led Zeppelin Tour Coming Soon) | Reviewer: Charlotte | 1/23/2008 one of my favourite songs! Loads of fun to play on guitar! Honestly, I dont have a favourite Zeppelin song! Nothing can get better than the best... LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN! Incredible drums, but that bass! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/30/2007 I'm listening for the n-th time to the song, as released on Mothership. Yes, I agree that Page and Plant are extraordinary (as always), and that Bonham's drums are just incredible (how he even survived that feat is beyond me!), but please take a careful ear to the bass... Jones appears so depreciated in everything that comes out about Led Zeps, but he really was the GLUE of all of it! But needless to say, it's a masterpiece... as most of what thay've done! Best Song Ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/1/2008 I'm 13 and I was not really into music all that much. Then I found one of my dads Led Zeppelin CD's. Now I listen to all kinds of classic rock from Aerosmith to the Beatles, yet no matter what I listen to this song remains MY ALL TIME FAVORITE. Led Zeppelin is known for Stairway to Heaven. In my opinion that is a mediocre Zeppelin song at best. In my opinion they should be known for this song, but it is not very popular. It is currently unavailable on iTunes.
