This is definetly where I can see where Paul's style of playing stopped fitting in the band. Don't get me wrong, the guy's a phoenomenal bass player, Undertow's got some of the best pick-played bass work out there, but Justin had this very post-rock/psychedelic element to his style of playing that really can't be understated in how much it defined all of Tool's post-Undertow work. The bass is as much of a focus in their later work as the guitar, vocals or drums.
I love how they took a classic Led Zeppelin song, but totally made it their own and infused it with their own musical DNA. They were only a young band here, but over the years they really grew into one of the greats, like Led Zep.
I totally agree with you!!! Many other bands would of hacked up this gem. "Excluding Heart" But Tool has the skill to put their own stamp on this. Zepluv
This isnt a "reply" to Death's post in anyway, but I thought this is a good spot to toss in a little piece of info that not all TOOL fans are aware of. Using Deathshuck's post as a lead in--> The fact they were young AS A BAND is true. But as far as musicians go, they were fairly mature and near "ripened", as the members themselves were (at or around) 28 years old. Again, this isn't meant a reply to anyone, nor am I sure what(if any) relevance it adds here, lol, but I figured it was a nice little side note.
Bray Wyatt Indeed. I think the fact that they were mature adults by the time Tool was in full swing contributed a lot to the fact that they never became victims of the music industry. They were able to steer clear of all the bullshit because they knew how the system worked. It's much easier to keep your integrity when you reach success as an adult, rather than as a teenager, because you get an adult perspective on the whole thing and aren't so naïve.
***** LOL. I thought the same damn thing. Maynard is well... Maynard!! And thank goodness for that!! He is my favorite vocalist/lyricist of all time. In any genre of music.
+Kenn71 I took a couple of "acting" classes in high school and the one thing I learned was to fill your lungs from the bottom to the top. Meaning pull your breath into your belly. I would think Maynard squatting is to hold more breath for such an epic scream. just my theory.

Led Zeppelin's version of No Quarter is absolutely phenomenal, but I don't know this version is just so powerful and atmospheric. Fantastic cover from Tool!
Into retrospective, he looked old for his real age back in 94, and made moves like a dead corpse from TWD, which looks somehow funny nowadays, but this sound performance was extraordinary. Anyway, i love TOOL since Untertow ! \m/
My interpretation is of an individual or group of people who quite literally have no quarter (home) to go to so they are always wondering around. It could be about a traveller or mercenary group or similar. That’s my take anyhow.
You are very correct no quarter means to show no mercy give no mercy in militant and non militant situations especially during pirate raids. No quarter was an order by the highest in command as to weather they would allow clemency to those who surrendered of they ordered no quarter they would not take anyone alive all will be shown no mercy
This cover is officially one of the best covers of all time. Better than the original song, and the original is marvelous. Tool gave more emotion to this song, it hits harder. They OWNED the song in my opinion.
maynard scream at the end is pure raw demonstration of human discipline and art at its finnest, holy shit i cant imagine how hard it must be to make such a vocal sound and keep it stable while running like that. EPIC
I can tell you precisely how he is able to do it. He told me first hand. I have had a few rather personal and intimate conversations with MJK. He is demon possessed. I cannot recall his exact wording but I was very shaken by it.
Maynard James has always strived to be himself, comfortable in his own skin.... maybe a little different or a wierdo in some peoples eyes. Maynard is original, never tried to copy or sound like anyone, and niether he or Tool will never be duplicated. Maynard is Maynard, he is the bomb digity !!!
The 4 of them are phenomenal musicians and masters of their craft. Maynard, Justin, Adam and Danny. I don't think their music would have the same impact with 1 of them missing
Maynard James Keenan. He's a complete psycho, and he's got PIPES FOR DAYS. And he hip-tossed a guy for climbing on stage before riding on his back for about 10 minutes.
Tool is the band that shuts everyone's mouth as soon as they start playing. What an awesome cover from one of the greatest bands in history if not the best. Two giants merged in one song
@@andrewkescenovitz202 the Santa Cruz show in 95 I believe Maynard says he took a bunch of their acid. There's another show where he says he's waiting for the acid to kick in. Just saying.
+Jerry Jocoy Im going to see them this week in their first concert for this year tour... and i really hope for No Quarter and Reflection to be in the play list. :)
Holy Lord! I actually saw Adam Jones headbanging! This is the only song that I have ever seen him headbang to, there has been other close calls, but he actually did it here. This song is just that epic.
God, look how young they are!!! Maynard's jerky dance moves make me smile!!! Just saw them again twice this month and I've always wished they would play this live when I was there! Seen them 5 times but never has! Also looks strange without Justin! I know Paul was there for alot of their great stuff but it just looks weird! Also the fact that Maynard is standing in the middle of front! He does at least face the opposite direction at least! LOL
My first time ever listening to Tool, my best friend and I were tripping balls and his older brother walks in (who is the one who introduced me to Tool), ended up tripping too hard and got too drunk and spilled the beans about how he survived the Columbine shooting. I'll never forget that night.
+Brandon Burdette - Sorry bro, but I just cannot agree with you on that one! I think if any band any ballsy enough to even attempt to do a remake of any Zep tune, my hat's off to 'em. But at the same time, some tunes just need to be left alone for their masters. And this song is no exception. Good effort though, for sure.
Holy shit I’ve watched ths 100 times at least , by far the best performer and song writer off all times , and stil freakin out killing it dude, would love to hang out and try that wine he makes I bring the mnt shine, freakin awesome
Notice how in the beginning of that performance you hear people chattering and plain fucking around. By the end of it, they became totally into it, these guys had 'em in the palm of their hand! Absolutely brilliant performance! Tool slays all!
Well, No Quarter was originally written by Led Zeppelin, and is an instrumental-heavy song. He can only sing what's there. About not facing the crowd, he claims the lights distract him, and dark spaces helps him focus and reconnect to the emotions and energy of the song. In short, he and Tool aren't just some stereotypical band that makes noise for you to tap your foot to. They want their music to be an interactive experience, in which you use as a self-reflective Tool to help you grow. ;)
Brilliant, Brilliant, performance! I love Tool and everything they stand for. Maynard pulls me in and makes me feel everything to the core of my soul.... Zepluv for Tool!!!.
The family that I can't see anymore, my friends, girlfriend, the loneliness moments and the insecure life I am living in..But with Tool music only I live !
Tool Thank You for being real and putting out the best music and concerts cant wait to see you in austin tx 2019,just saw ya in san antonio 46 and rockin
Yyyeaaaaaaars ago I rode my bike miles to an indie music shop that had this concert bootlegged on vhs. There are other production quality recordings out there, but this one will always be my favorite ❣️
Even though I love the 1998, 2015 and 2016 live versions of the track because Chancellor's bass makes the song beautiful, I can't help but always go back to this one because the way Maynard went raw running around with his vocals on that @10:05 mark is just amazingly sublime. Like, him holding that note while he was running around like a madman in a circle is just amazing. I know Maynard doesn't do that now due to age, and while he could still sing, it's just something about the madness of his voice in his youth when he used to do that that always makes me grin 😂.
Only Tool could cover one of my favorite Zeppelin songs and not piss me off.
Like that crap P-Diddy pulled with "come with me"? oooooh I hate P-Diddy
crowbar honestly did a pretty heavy cover or no quarter too
If Pink Floyd did this, I wouldn't be mad either.
Tool covered this song the best but Crowbar’s cover is also pretty good
And make it way better! 🤘
I just tried that running around in the ol'squat position screaming in the house. Coffee table's are sharp obstacles.

Justin is in another league... His riffs are insanely beautiful and so much more complimentary to Adam and Danny's style.
