My bedroom windows were open and my brother down the hall was blasting Achilles Last Stand. Jimmy came wafting into my room on layered ethereal cords and grabbed my imagination. I was a young teen, 14 maybe. I'd never heard anything like this. It spoke of power, mystery, coherence and something unseen. To this day this song holds sway over me like none other. It became my mission to find this magic in their live performances. If you go back to The Destroyer shows from Cleveland in '77 you'll find a sincular performance of this song that if heard correctly will show you the meaning of The Hammer of the Gods. There are these four artists that invoke this song, they're playing it but what comes forth is something more...I'm note sure how to communicate it but it's no longer Jimmy, Robert, Jonesy and Bonham. As evidence, listen to the response of the crowd as Jimmy fades the song out. They're stunned into silence. You hear some guy shout "woah Plant!" and there's this erie quite that has decended on the throngs. There's a collective "what just happened here?" that looms. It was as Robert would say "one of those nights!". When I'm old and my audiologists asks me why I need hearing aids I'm going to say Jimmy's solo in Achilles:) Timeless | Reviewer: Classic | 10/24/2007 When you listen to songs like this from way back in time, you have to wonder two things. 1. Did the people back then know how lucky they were to be around when artists like Led Zeppelin were creating amazing masterpieces such as this song? and 2. What music from our time will survive the test of time as much as this? Simply awesome | Reviewer: Lavs | 9/18/2007 the drums and guitar just take u away to a place away from ur surroundings... thats how i liked when i heard this song..... the drums are simply awesome ... and there are no words to describe Page.... he is the best .... Led-zeppelin is the best i have ever heard in their genre Epic | Reviewer: Petar | 8/29/2007 Although I believe Led's best songs are Stairway and Immigrant song, Achille's Last Stand is my favourite, because of the enourmous energy in it. It is realy an epic song, which it is and supposed to be for it's lyrics. Best Led Zeppelin Song. Period. | Reviewer: Arioch | 8/29/2007 There are certain Zeppelin songs that just take you away to somewhere else: Kashmir; No Quarter... This one is chilling. Every time I hear it I feel empowered. Ancient. Significant. The four of them flat out captured the event surrounding Achilles. The guitar, bass, and vocal performances are flawless, and sublime; however, it always strikes me how absolutely phenominal Bonham was on this song. Just a continual driving wall of drums that set up a bitchen backdrop for the other three to work within. Just the bomb, boys and girls: the bomb. awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/2007 one of my favorite songs, jimmy paige's favorite led song and the most "zeppelin" of their songs as said by plant... greatest band of all time About the song Achilles Last Stand | Reviewer: kevin ganja | 8/5/2007 in modern power metal such as blind guardian and iced earth, i found 3 common things with led zepplin: amazing guitar solo's, rythem galloping which is the bass in led zepplin. and historical based lyrics. may people believe power metal is the last artistic form of rock left, I say look at your roots and you'll be famous. Amazing | Reviewer: Lucho | 7/29/2007 I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd. But I was not very attracted to Led until now. I first downloaded "Stairway to Heaven", which is good. But when I found this song, I started to love the band. Absolutely | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/19/2007 One of the best music in all world, when the guitar starts, it comes loud and get you from the soul, can't say what means... amazing, more then this. achilles last stand | Reviewer: ben tits | 6/4/2007 one of the best song i have ever heard probably the best rock song ever.
