The song's meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/26/08 The only reference to the Trojan war is in the title, Achilles Last Stand. Plant and Page wrote this when Page injured his foot. The rest of the song is about the things they saw while on tour I think. what is this song about? | Reviewer: joe | 5/15/08 I just finished reading "The Trojan War" (you know the story where they use the wooden trojan horse to get into troy?) and after reading it this song's lyrics are seemingly nonsensical. 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 | 4/8/08 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 | 3/31/08 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 | 3/24/08 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 | 3/12/08 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 | 2/6/08 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) | 2/9/08 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 | 1/23/08 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!
