seriously. I was so hoping it would be when tool finally allowed their albums to be on there. I had that repeat button ready to go hardcore during my game session on ps5. lol
I'm a hard-core led Zep fan since back to 1969 and I have to say this is a righteous cover....I can definitely get into it....Get out those headphones, crank it up , sit back and follow the trip...
I think tool will be remembered by this generation as true music and art in sea of manufactured mainstream music. They have integrity, and their music IS revolutionary. No one can, or ever will sound like them. Not to mention their lyrics are amongst the most profound for any band.
Was just talking with my wife about the power in Maynard’s lyrics. I listen them all the time and hearing them, singing along with them……but when I read the lyrics while listening to the music, that’s when the real power and greatness really comes through for me. I don’t know how to explain it, I’ve been listening to this band since I was in the 7th grade and I turned 45 today and there is no other band that still blows me away like it’s the first time….every time.
…… not to mention Adam, Justin and Danny are among the greats of their respective instruments. Put them all together and there’s not really anything this generation, or those that come after, will ever come close to reaching.
@@dougrippe33 39yrs old here and they have been a profound journey for the past 30 years. I had the privilege of hearing them at the age of 9! yes 9 years old! 1993 was a time that I was entranced, mystified and constantly yearning to hear more. Granted they had underground stuff in 1987 when Maynard was with CAD (Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty). But 1990 solidified this absolute gem of a band. 1992s opiate certainly lit the proverbial fire. However in 1993s undertow absolutely enthralled me lol. Anyhow long story short I absolutely understand what you mean , cheers!
Me too. Salt Lake City tour, was too epic. I'm blessed to have seen Tool multiple times in Utah and Vegas, plus Puscifer and A Perfect Circle both in Utah. I'll pay any price to see Maynard
I love both versions for different reasons. I don't think it can be said that one is "better". I think people should learn to say, "I like one more," rather than, "One is better."
I think I read somewhere, that they were approached to do a Zeppelin cover for an upcoming tribute album. They chose this song. When they turn the finished version in, the producers told them to cut the song by 5 minutes. When Tool refused, the producers told them that they would receive the bill for recording. Tool said fine. Thus this was released on Salival.
@Josh Jordan That is correct. I personally agree with Adam Jones. I'm biased but I don't care. No quarter is too beautiful to be in such a vulgar movie anyway.
I always tell people Tool are the greatest stadium rock band since Led Zeppelin.....and having seen them live 3 times in sold out stadiums (live in Australia or it would have been a lot more than 3, they didn't get out here all that often) I fucking well stand by that statement. This cover live is like tantric sex for your earballs....and all your other senses for that matter.
I think this track was supposed to debut on a Led Zeppelin tribute cover album. However, the production guys said to Tool "make it shorter". Then Tool refused to publish it on said album, and it got released in Salival instead. This is the story as far as I know.
After reading a few comments, I have to point out that I'm a Led Zeppelin fan, and I think this is a lovely version of the song. Both Tool and Led Zeppelin kick ass.
i love the original song, but i feel as if this ruins it. it doesn't have the same feel as the old one. when i first heard the original, i was reading Dune (By frank Herbert). when i listened to this song whilst a book like dune, my brain put them together and it turned the song into an instant reminder of Dune. it might not make sense to you, but i have a special connection between this song and the best book ever written. it seems, to me, almost sacrilege to do this to it. i am very fond of heavy metal and classic rock, but i just cant listen to this cover. i can see how it could be so popular. it is all in the eye of the beholder. for example, 99 problems by jayz. i hated that song, but some guy named Hugo did a cover and it is one o my favorite songs now. sorry for the essay!
@@tnix80 if i remember correctly this one was John Paul Jones' project, his baby, as opposed to most of the rest of Zep's music being Page's. Therefore I would only really care for Jones' and perhaps Plant's thoughts on this cover.
It's crazy how much they changed the lyrics from the original. So much grittier and darker overall. Phrases like "Close the door, put out the light" and "They're wearing steel that's bright and true" have been replaced with *"Lock all the doors, kill the lights"* and *"Dying dreams in me and you"* . It's like a dystopian 'No Quarter', playing out in the mind of someone who's been broken both mentally and physically.
i love how they kept the qualities of the original song but morphed it to their style. they didnt copy everything from the song note for note, they put their own twist to it which is awesome.
This is such a brooding rendition... The guitar conveys such a sense of hopelessness and desperation. So evocative and oh so perfect. Only tool could have pulled it off
Saying that the original band smokes the cover version? Not such an original statement. I think the whole purpose of doing a cover is to put your own personal fingerprint on a song that moved or inspired you in some way. Otherwise, what's the point? I like this version. That's my opinion.
well put, lota people in this comment section just wanna compare the two bands/songs when I think it's better to analyze it as a new interpretation. I'm thankful tool doesn't cover any songs 1:1
Tool really helps me when I'm sick. I listened to pushit when I had a fever a couple years back. Now I had the stomach flu, and this poped in my mind. I feel better now. This is also a great song to get stoned to, in your room alone.
Careful, I've come to associate certain albums with feeling sick due to hearing them when I was sick. OK computer and Garbages first two albums make me feel weird if I hear them
If they did Dogs, I'd jizz in my entire dresser drawer full of pants. Pigs (Three Different Ones) would probably work better for Tool as a band though. Animals is BY FAR, my favorite Floyd album.
Tool is always going to be Tool....Zepp is one of the best bands in history, but the fusion between their sound and Tools more elaborate, intricate style is priceless....What a truly visionary band Tool truly are. Hats off.
zepp never lets anyone do covers, but even Robert Plant when hearing this stopped and said w00w. Extremely, excessively brilliant! This is very hard for me to say, but i have to accept this as my favorite tool song ever, or at least a tie w push it live
That's a bit rich coming from the band who (apart from the Rolling Stones) owe more of their own massive success to covering/borrowing/appropriating/ripping off old blues standards than any other band ever .. as far as I know this is nonsense anyway because anyone can cover anything, they just have to pay royalties to the publishers of course. I don't know where you get your ideas, but a quick search shows up at least 60 Zeppelin songs (over half their total output) covered by various artists over the decades, with most done multiple times in many different styles .. No Quarter alone has been done about 20 times, so basically you couldn't be more wrong :/
"Ripping off" is the real stretch here. Influence and inspiration is the right term, Timmy. No blues group produce anything like the Zepp. Don't get me started with appropriation because covering a band is more towards appreciation.
Almost all the songs from Zeppelin IV onwards were original. And IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti are their best albums. Re-contextualizing traditional blues songs wasn't anything new. Cream, Hendrix, and many many other bands were doing the same thing. Doesn't make them any less great.
Me, too! I always somehow feel ashamed of that, but TOOL's version is so much more dynamic and complex. Plus, the ridiculously excellent production value makes it that much better!
First heard this on late night radio about 10 years ago . Wasn't really paying close attention and thought it was Zeppelin until I heard Maynard' s voice. Wow! Great cover!
To all the people comparing the two versions of this song. Make sure you listen to the entire thing. Tool's cover has an extensive breakdown at the end which completely re-invigorates this song. Led Zeppelin's was the original, and for that respect and acknowledgement is due. But don't let that deafen you to the masterful creation you're hearing. Technically this dwarfs the original, but that isn't worth a dime because we're comparing apples and oranges. The Tool sound is defined by complicated, screeching, melodic riffs and incredible layered drum sequences and poly-rhythms. Versus Led Zeppelin's more rhythmic style, amazing guitar solos and Robert Plants snail trail. Honestly the two bands share a lot in common, Tool has obviously been inspired by Zep to some extent, as has any rock musician in the last 40 years, whether they're aware of it or not.
"Technically this dwarfs the original"... and that is exactly why it sucks!! these guys remind me of a very adept high school band. playing 20 chords were only one is necessary to convey the emotion, the feeling. this isnt even on the same planet as the original. thanks for the laugh though!!
I've always found it weird your have to compare originals and covers in a light. They are in a way different tracks. A cover can easily be better than an original, if you build upon an already amazing track you have to add something. This definitely do. Another great example of a cover done right is Jimi Hendrix All along the watchtower. The original is amazing but it is generally accepted that the Hendrix version is superior. So is this. Open your ears.
racer111259 “ 20 chords?” This song is not played with much technicality besides maybe Danny Carey’s drumming. It’s simple overall but done in a more elaborate way.
Both versions are awesome. LZ's original is bright and psychedelic. Tool adds their darkness and mysterious to make it modernistic. You know it's a good song if it can be manipulated and stand the test of time.
Brilliant!!! Zeppelin is my heart n' soul so this is huge for me to accept anybody other then Heart doing Zeppelin... Zep must really respect you for giving u the rights to perform No Quarter. Beautifully done!!!
A few months ago, I went through all of TOOL's discography on Spotify without listening to Salival as it's not on there. I never realized that one of my favorite bands covered another one of my favorite bands! Great song choice, and of course, fantastic cover!
"Imagine if Led Zeppelin had the same technology as Tool does nowadays." But in terms of the technology Tool actually uses, they pretty much did. Adam Jones' signature sound comes from using guitars, amps and types of effects units that are older than Zeppelin.
My grandpa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died two weeks later. I couldn't visit him the last week in the hospital, because of covid restrictions. I played this song over and over and it carried me through that week.
Lyrics: Lock the door, kill the light. no one's coming home tonight. the sun beats down and don't you know? all our lives are growing cold, oh... they bring news that must get through. to build a dream for me and you, oh. Locked in a place where no one goes. They ask no quarter they have no quarter. Lock the door, kill the light no one's coming home tonight It's getting colder (7x) locked in a place where no one goes. Lock the door, kill the light no one's coming home tonight They bring news that must get through. dying peace in me and you Locked in a place where no one goes. We have no quarter we have no quarter we ask no quarter Led zeppelin version Close the door, put out the light. no, they won't be home tonight. the snow falls hard and don't you know? the winds of thor are blowing cold. they're wearing steel that's bright and true they carry news that must get through, oooh They choose the path where no-one goes. They hold no quarter. they hold no quarter. Walking side by side with death the devil mocks their every step the snow drives back the foot that's slow the dogs of doom are howling more they carry news that must get through to build a dream for me and you They choose the path where no-one goes. They hold no quarter. they ask no quarter. they hold no quarter. they ask no quarter. The pain, the pain without quarter. they ask no quarter. yeah! without quarter, quarter, yeah! they need no quarter. the dogs of doom are howling more! i hear the dogs of doom are howling more!
God damnit this is so gorgeously somber and dark, I loved it since they released salival, and after years and years I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving this sweet melody 🤟🏻
There was once a day, a looooong time ago. Before I had heard of Salival. I was sitting here, on the ole interweb and a thought occurred to me. Tool covering Led Zeppelin would be the most amazing marriage of progressive rock/metal to ever exist. Soon after I was drooling over the Box Set and wishing I had it. I am sure I ended up downloading the track before finally buying Salival (with the VHS btw LOL) Also, funny enough, this was also my intro to No Quarter all together. I agree with you 100%
Ive seen them live in holland thanks to my great sister who knew i woud appreciate it if she bought tickets, which she did... and i can say in ONE word AMAZING its one of my most favourite memories...!!
As an avid Led Zeppelin fan, this honestly (imo) is better than the original. Hands down. The chord progression that changes from a cover to Tool’s own sound is Iconic.
I've listened to this for years, but when youtube suggestions brought me back to it, I think I would prefer the non-robotized voice in the beginning and just hear Maynard sing in the regular haunting voice he perfected
Quite a few years ago I stood in the rain in Camden NJ while Tool played. When it was over I said to my brother that it was bullshit man... over already? He laughed and said bro, they've been playing for two and a half hours. I said I could listen two and a half more... he laughed again and agreed.

What other band could produce a really good cover of a zep song? Maybe the deftones?
No Quarter is the most Tool sounding Led Zep song. From muffled mic to Jimmy Page's prog rock guitar. The original just sounds like a Tool song.
Pink Floyd?
This not being on Spotify is like a continuous kick to the balls.

Seriously....Fuck Spotify
@@scottm7725 cover by grave digger itunes and spotify, memorable version tool.
It would be more of kick to the balls to the people who own this album.
The depth, riffs, aggression, mood that Tool has added in this cover is something no one or band could do.
Sick HEAVYYY
Coming from a HUGE Led Zepp fan:
This is fucking INCREDIBLE.
In the first half of the song Tool seem to pay ever due respect to LZ, and then they take the song into their own dark corner and make it their own.
I reckon you're on the money ,that's why TOOL are COOL
I couldnt have said it better myself
Far better than the original
I can't disagree
BegToDiffah right around the 4 min mark it turns into a Tool song. This is hands down one of the best covers ever
I'm a hard-core led Zep fan since back to 1969 and I have to say this is a righteous cover....I can definitely get into it....Get out those headphones, crank it up , sit back and follow the trip...
Same with me !! One of the very few covers that I don't shake my head at greetings my friend from Buffalo ny
I wish I could heart react to this because absolutely fucking same.
Respect all comments..great!!

So.... I think it's safe to assume you are no longer bipedal? Tool can be that way sometimes.
Do they talk by now? :-)
Are you 46 & 2 yet bruh'? Cmom now let's see if the pieces fit with a blood sample, ticks and leeches will do!

jk fn - how about: Shine On you crazy Diamond? That would be epic!!
@@jerseysucks6158 i agree shine on you crazy diamond would be much more tools style, thatd be amazing to hear.
TOOL !!!! amazing, no matter what they do !!!
They brought so much POWER!!!! to this song. Great cover...
I can't play this enough to satisfy something inside me.
It's more addictive than any drug
Freaking weirdo

"The problem with the music we were listening to didn't have the climax where we wanted the climax for our own personal masturbation." MJK
zepp never lets anyone do covers, but even Robert Plant when hearing this stopped and said w00w. Extremely, excessively brilliant! This is very hard for me to say, but i have to accept this as my favorite tool song ever, or at least a tie w push it live
That's a bit rich coming from the band who (apart from the Rolling Stones) owe more of their own massive success to covering/borrowing/appropriating/ripping off old blues standards than any other band ever .. as far as I know this is nonsense anyway because anyone can cover anything, they just have to pay royalties to the publishers of course. I don't know where you get your ideas, but a quick search shows up at least 60 Zeppelin songs (over half their total output) covered by various artists over the decades, with most done multiple times in many different styles .. No Quarter alone has been done about 20 times, so basically you couldn't be more wrong :/
"Ripping off" is the real stretch here. Influence and inspiration is the right term, Timmy. No blues group produce anything like the Zepp. Don't get me started with appropriation because covering a band is more towards appreciation.
Almost all the songs from Zeppelin IV onwards were original. And IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti are their best albums. Re-contextualizing traditional blues songs wasn't anything new. Cream, Hendrix, and many many other bands were doing the same thing. Doesn't make them any less great.
Robb Deep I totally agree with you!!!!!!
I don't know about favorite TOOL song ever, but it's dope as fuck. Wings for Marie 1&2 are better than this. Tool and Zep are my 2 fav bands ever.
It's gonna sound blasphemous because this is such a classic... but I like this more than the original.
Me, too! I always somehow feel ashamed of that, but TOOL's version is so much more dynamic and complex. Plus, the ridiculously excellent production value makes it that much better!
Blasphemous is true, but completely understandable haha this version of this song is very rocking. Very rocking Indeed
This is way better than Led Zepplins original
@@kellifrumento8992 agree
Looks like we are all going to hell for blasphemy then 😂👌
Best song cover Ive ever heard! Tool is the greatest band ever, making the cover more complex than the actual song!
First heard this on late night radio about 10 years ago . Wasn't really paying close attention and thought it was Zeppelin until I heard Maynard' s voice. Wow! Great cover!
the ultimate song when stoned
Absofuckinglutely. Or on shrooms.
this song drives me to another dimension when high
You ain't lying..gahdamn
24/7
I think lateralus and holy Trinity would be awesome
It surprises me over and over again how much I love this band. I wish I could see them live again.
To all the people comparing the two versions of this song. Make sure you listen to the entire thing. Tool's cover has an extensive breakdown at the end which completely re-invigorates this song. Led Zeppelin's was the original, and for that respect and acknowledgement is due. But don't let that deafen you to the masterful creation you're hearing. Technically this dwarfs the original, but that isn't worth a dime because we're comparing apples and oranges. The Tool sound is defined by complicated, screeching, melodic riffs and incredible layered drum sequences and poly-rhythms. Versus Led Zeppelin's more rhythmic style, amazing guitar solos and Robert Plants snail trail. Honestly the two bands share a lot in common, Tool has obviously been inspired by Zep to some extent, as has any rock musician in the last 40 years, whether they're aware of it or not.
"Technically this dwarfs the original"... and that is exactly why it sucks!! these guys remind me of a very adept high school band. playing 20 chords were only one is necessary to convey the emotion, the feeling. this isnt even on the same planet as the original. thanks for the laugh though!!
LimeGuy101 a very powerful and truthful statement, everyone should take time to read this.
I've always found it weird your have to compare originals and covers in a light. They are in a way different tracks. A cover can easily be better than an original, if you build upon an already amazing track you have to add something. This definitely do.
Another great example of a cover done right is Jimi Hendrix All along the watchtower. The original is amazing but it is generally accepted that the Hendrix version is superior. So is this. Open your ears.
racer111259 “ 20 chords?” This song is not played with much technicality besides maybe Danny Carey’s drumming. It’s simple overall but done in a more elaborate way.
Tool writes their own songs though. It's probably not fair to say that Led Zeppelin wrote the original.
Zep rocked in the 60's and 70's. tool rocks the 90's and beyond. You have to put yourself in each era.
If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of Danny Carey's boredom.
Boo
@@fowlerjr3983 Don't get me wrong I love this song, I love John Bonam but Danny Carey is on another level.
Add your voice p****
Normally don't think Zeppelin or Floyd should be covered but this is really good
One of the best covers ever recorded.
Time seems to stop when you hear masterpieces like this. LOVE Tool 💗
Both versions are awesome. LZ's original is bright and psychedelic. Tool adds their darkness and mysterious to make it modernistic. You know it's a good song if it can be manipulated and stand the test of time.
The human condition since the dawn of time
Maynard gave new meaning to this song with his unworldly voice... love it!!!
Brilliant!!! Zeppelin is my heart n' soul so this is huge for me to accept anybody other then Heart doing Zeppelin... Zep must really respect you for giving u the rights to perform No Quarter. Beautifully done!!!
3:19 and my whole body had chills and tears in my eyes omg
A few months ago, I went through all of TOOL's discography on Spotify without listening to Salival as it's not on there. I never realized that one of my favorite bands covered another one of my favorite bands! Great song choice, and of course, fantastic cover!
The only band that gives me real goosebumps
"Imagine if Led Zeppelin had the same technology as Tool does nowadays."
But in terms of the technology Tool actually uses, they pretty much did. Adam Jones' signature sound comes from using guitars, amps and types of effects units that are older than Zeppelin.
Possibly the best recording ever.
My grandpa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died two weeks later. I couldn't visit him the last week in the hospital, because of covid restrictions. I played this song over and over and it carried me through that week.
I’m so sorry for what happened:( I also lost a family member recently from the same thing
@@metalbitch2998 Thanks and sorry for your loss, as well. I wish you and your family the best. Take care.
@@alexandermiller866 you too 🙏🏻
Lyrics:
Lock the door, kill the light.
no one's coming home tonight.
the sun beats down and don't you know?
all our lives are growing cold, oh...
they bring news that must get through.
to build a dream for me and you, oh.
Locked in a place where no one goes.
They ask no quarter
they have no quarter.
Lock the door, kill the light
no one's coming home tonight
It's getting colder (7x)
locked in a place where no one goes.
Lock the door, kill the light
no one's coming home tonight
They bring news that must get through.
dying peace in me and you
Locked in a place where no one goes.
We have no quarter
we have no quarter
we ask no quarter
Led zeppelin version
Close the door, put out the light.
no, they won't be home tonight.
the snow falls hard and don't you know?
the winds of thor are blowing cold.
they're wearing steel that's bright and true
they carry news that must get through, oooh
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter.
they hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
the devil mocks their every step
the snow drives back the foot that's slow
the dogs of doom are howling more
they carry news that must get through
to build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter.
they ask no quarter.
they hold no quarter.
they ask no quarter.
The pain, the pain without quarter.
they ask no quarter.
yeah! without quarter, quarter, yeah!
they need no quarter.
the dogs of doom are howling more!
i hear the dogs of doom are howling more!
I love both versions equally for almost the same exact reasons. Just utterly amazing.
God damnit this is so gorgeously somber and dark, I loved it since they released salival, and after years and years I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving this sweet melody 🤟🏻
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
There was once a day, a looooong time ago. Before I had heard of Salival. I was sitting here, on the ole interweb and a thought occurred to me. Tool covering Led Zeppelin would be the most amazing marriage of progressive rock/metal to ever exist. Soon after I was drooling over the Box Set and wishing I had it. I am sure I ended up downloading the track before finally buying Salival (with the VHS btw LOL) Also, funny enough, this was also my intro to No Quarter all together. I agree with you 100%
I swear i fucking LOVE this song/cover i cant describe how it makes me feel this band will forever be one of the greatest to do it
Greatest cover of all time. True to the original yet true to themselves! Best ever.
Ive seen them live in holland thanks to my great sister who knew i woud appreciate it if she bought tickets, which she did... and i can say in ONE word AMAZING its one of my most favourite memories...!!
Chills down my fuckin spine.
As an avid Led Zeppelin fan, this honestly (imo) is better than the original. Hands down. The chord progression that changes from a cover to Tool’s own sound is Iconic.
I've listened to this for years, but when youtube suggestions brought me back to it, I think I would prefer the non-robotized voice in the beginning and just hear Maynard sing in the regular haunting voice he perfected
Led Zeppelin must be proud and blown away by this homage to one of their greatest songs. Awesome rendition!!!
Quite a few years ago I stood in the rain in Camden NJ while Tool played. When it was over I said to my brother that it was bullshit man... over already? He laughed and said bro, they've been playing for two and a half hours. I said I could listen two and a half more... he laughed again and agreed.
It is absolutely criminal that I got an ad in the middle of this video
One of the few songs in this world that I believe was improved from the original.
ive listened to this song countless times..and it gets better EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.
My favorite version of this song. Tool is amazing. Absolutely amazing!
STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL, F'N EPIC ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF EPICNESS
