No Quarter
TOOLs reinvention of this decent at best Led Zeppelin tune is fantastic. Long, loud, and loaded with the the fantastic sounds you would expect from a band that only releases albulms every 4-6 years. TREMENDOUS!

Comments about No Quarter:
I could happily go deaf listening to Tool's version of this song over and over. All respect to the original, but I hug my headphones to my ears and drink in every mood-soaked riff from this cover.

Tool's version may be as good as the original Zep studio cut found on Houses of the Holy, but the live Zeppelin performance from their live album The Song Remains the Same hands-down blows any other version of this song away.

this song means a lot to me, reminds me of one of the scariest time in my life, 1988. It changed me and this song takes me straight back to it. Kinda where Angels dare tread.

The original is a great song, but the depth of sound in the Tool cover really adds power to the track.

Although I absolutely LOVE Zepplin - I cant help but enjoy the Tool cover even more than the original. But as others have said, there is no doubt Tool is heavily influenced by Zepplin and the cover should be considered an ODE to a brilliant band, by another brilliant band.

I will always be partial to Zep's original, in no small part because it was so very, very forward-thinking for its time and -- let's face it -- so very, very heavy by any standard of the time.
That said, Tool has done an amazing job with this cover. Yes, Tool has made this song a Tool song, essentially, and in a peculiar, beautiful way. And, yet, I also can't help but hear, in Tool's cover, evidence of Zep's profound influence on that band. It's as if Tool wishes to honor Zep with this cover and wants us to infer the newer band's profound reverence for Zep. That is awesome: two awesome band and the clear lineage revealed.

Anybody can do a cover. The real talent is in the creation of the work. JPJ is at the pinnacle of his musical genius with this song. Tool does a good cover but it falls far short of the original.

I discovered Tool's cover today, it's absolutely amazing, but nothing could ever be better than the original, it was so epic, so creative and innovative ! Imagine such a song in 1973, with such a sound, such a perfection in keyboards and arrangements ! Tool's version is obviously great, very smart and faithful, with a pachydermic dimension that fits perfectly with the song, but i do prefer the original, whatever good the cover is.
Moreover, Led zeppelin took another dimensions in live ;-)

I grew up with Zeppelin, just recently started blasting it again. No Quarter is one of my favorite songs by Zep.
I just now heard the Tool version for the first time, and ended up on this site looking for which CD has this is on. I think I could loop this with the original and not be disappointed which one was playing, or back to back. They covered more Zep? Which Tool CD should I buy to check them out?
