Tool honored Led Zeppelin with their cover. One thing that people don't often mention about Led Zeppelin is why those songs and albums sound as good as they do. Guitarist/mastermind Jimmy Page was the producer - not many bands had a producer who was also a band member. He didn't want singles, he wanted people to experience the album.
@@joescott8877 I can understand why you or anyone might say Four Sticks goes in that 18, but the drums are outstanding (typical for Bonham) and the bass during the chorus is great, I just love it
@@Rekeza I'm pretty sure my main complaint about it is Plant's extra-nasally voice, heh. Just grates on me a bit. I do love when JPJ comes in with that "surprise" keyboard bit!
John Paul Jones is the heart and soul of Zeppelin... he's the glue that makes the music between the rest of the guys in the band seem so ethereal and seamless. Often overlooked because Jimmy, John, and Robert are front and center S-Tier Gods.... JPJ is a tier all by himself.
He's the greatest Glue Guy in the history of music. He played every instrument any way he needed to, often multiple at once, and completely held their whole sound together.
The next Led Zeppelin song you two should react to is Achilles Last Stand. Everyone knows Stairway to Heaven, but Achilles Last Stand is their best song, in my opinion of course.
OMG - SUCH a SEXY PERFORMANCE by Plant in that one....and, Jimmy is just STELLAR in that performance, as well!! Gosh - the WHOLE BAND: SO TIGHT!! BANGER!
@@Blakek1763 I really believe Jimmys solo in that'73 MSG show is as good if not better than Stairways. No Quarter is so underrated outside of Zeppelin circles.
It's true that they never had a number one hit single. Two reasons for it: 1) They hated releasing singles. 2) They were shunned by the media and the industry for being too radical However they had about 6 to 7 number 1 Diamond certified albums. That's like 6 or 7 times platinum!
This was of their 5th album in 1973 called Houses of the Holy, in a way quite experimental from their previous stuff, amazing album which has some other great track, The Rain Song springs to mind.
When I was a kid I drove this big ass 1989 Buick Regal that had no stereo, so I wired a boom box up to the power from the cigarette lighter. I used to drive around and listen to this song, and it was then and is now the only piece of music that while listening to it I actually feel like I'm stoned when completely sober. It did that playing through a cassette tape on a boom box wired in to a cigarette lighter on an 89 Buick Regal. Amazing.
Achilles Last Stand is one of their most monolithic tracks. It features what is easily the greatest rock drum track ever recorded. Lyrically it is another very poetic, enigmatic example of Zeppelin firing on all cylinders. I think they were drawing an analogy between the life of Achilles, the untouchable warrior who met his end in the Trojan war and their own sudden rise to fame, success and unexpected tragedies. Robert lost his son to a rare disease and just before recording 'Prescence', their 8th studio release. He and his family were in a car accident and so he delivered tbe vocal tracks from a wheelchair. Prescence is a great, underrated album, I think Bonzo's drumming was as great as it ever got on every single song.
John Paul Jones is a genious on this song❤ His keyboard skills are like none other. Not to mention he plays a bass pedal while playing the keys.Genious❤
Also, in the 60s-70s, "album oriented rock" or "AOR" was a popular radio format which basically promoted the playing of entire albums. Led zeppelin played a major hand in popularising this. And their albums were indeed played front to back all over the country!
@@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman their movie The Song Remains The Same, is excellent. I saw it decades ago at the theater when it came out, & watched it a little over a week ago on UA-cam. You can buy rent or watch free with short commercials. Definitely well worth the watch, from the MSG concerts.
More Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Kashmir - Over the Hills and Far Away - Immigrant Song - Ocean - All of my Love - Rock and Roll - California - Achilles Last Stand.......and many many many more!!!
I could listen to Bonham's drumming all day. On the live version at MSG he really shines. I saw LZ on the Houses of the Holy tour in the mid-70s and they played No Quarter. Their shows were amazing. Thanks for this one!
Jimmy Page did not want to be constrained by the limitations of singles which needed to be no more than 3 minutes to get radio play (at the time). Many bands were judged as only being as good as their last single and the expectation was that each single must top the last but not be too different. Jimmy Page didn't want that. He wanted to be able to experiment and try different styles. Led Zeppelin's fame grew by live concerts backed by albums and by word of mouth.
Led Zeppelin’s Tea For One is a great blues song, no other bands do blues as great as Led Zeppelin. Actually all of their songs are great, I enjoy the lives more, if they are available, not all their amazing songs are. The released very few singles. Critics were really against them, as were the media, every song could really been a number one hit. There’s only like 2 or 3 songs I don’t care for, but they aren’t horrible by any means.
Loved the reaction AND discussion! Zep's my fav band BECAUSE there are no songs I dislike! Only a few that I love a bit less than the others, lol. So literally you CANNOT go wrong by picking one at random! Maybe take that challenge? Get a wiki list of songs, choose a # between 1-80 or so, and whatever that one is, react to it. May not be one of their MANY superfire ones, but it WON'T suck! OR, y'all could try (I see you've yet to) "Achilles Last stand," "The Ocean," "The Rover," or "What is and what should never be," to start with, lol.
My 36 year old son is an absolute Tool fan, but his heart will always belong to Led Zeppelin. He is so envious that I saw LZ live in 1974. I raised him right! And my daughter too! Now working on my grandkids - I am trying to show them that there is more to music than Taylor Swift! LOL!
Heck, I'm 58 and I'm jealous too that you saw them live! Closest I got was seeing Jimmy Page playing with Paul Rodgers. Good show, did Dazed and Confused, but it just wasn't Zeppelin.
This song is off the fifth album “Houses of the Holy” 1973. One of my favorite Zeppelin songs 🔥🔥. They played this when I saw them in concert St Louis 1977. Great reaction.
Im pretty sure you're correct on this one, Hollywood! The boys in zeppelin had a pretty strong aversion to releasing singles. The few they did end up releasing was basically when their record company went against their wishes or pestered them until jimmy page gave them the go-ahead. They basically only promoted the albums eith a few interviews and let the live shows do the talking. Their immense popularity gave them a lot of leewway, and the fact that they stuck to their guns only further cemented their legendary status! It was also a different time. Not many artists, if any, could expect to sell so many records without singles, nowadays. Cheers boys!! ;)
Also just wanted to say THANKS to YOU-GUYS!!! I really enjoy your reaction videos and know they're a LOT of WORK!! But, for an "Ole Lady", they make me feel like I'm sharing some of the music I grew-up with some of my friends who just hadn't heard it yet - and, it's just SO PLEASING!!! THANKS for the SMILES!!! HUGS!!
This song is almost overlooked as one of their masterpieces, but it just gets better on further listening. The live version at MSG might be the greatest rock song ever. Insanely powerful and atmospheric.
Atlantic records did release a few singles "Whole Lotta Love" and "Immigrant Song" among them against the band"s wishes. Jimmy Page felt that the albums should be listened to as a unit. They did, however, try to ensure their songs got some radio play. On Early pressings of Led Zeppelin I "How Many More Times" had a run time printed on the label of under 4 minutes to encourage stations to play the track. The actual length of the song is somewhere around 8 minutes.
Zeppelin is basically a supergroup, there is no weakest link. I can see why Tool covered this. It has that dynamic range and mystical feel. Check out Trampled Under Foot for a great song to cruise too.
Don't wait soooo long on next Led Zepplin reaction! Y'all would love: -All of my Love -What is and What Should Never Be -Fool in the Rain -Song Remains The Same -Ten Years Gone -Trampled Underfoot -The Rain Song ..I could name 50 more, but that is a good start.
House of the Holy Album-and YES.. the ENTIRE albums were special. Back then, we listened to the whole album. What you want to check, are the stats of album sales.
They released very few singles. During this time, FM stations were doing long format, playing multiple songs from an album, up to playing a whole album. As consumers, we would get comfortable and play the same album multiple times all the way through. We would know every song.
The Best of Led Zeppelin is a two-volume best-of compilation album series by English rock group Led Zeppelin; containing selections from all of the band's studio albums it was released by Atlantic Records. Volume one, Early Days was released on November 22, 1999;[4] volume two, Latter Days, was released on March 21, 2000.
8:03 This was from "Houses of the Holy" - their original Albums were "Led Zeppelin" (Jan 1969) "Led Zeppelin II" (Oct 1969) "Led Zeppelin III" (Oct 1970) The fourth album has no title, but it's usually called "Led Zeppelin IV" (Nov 1971) "Houses of the Holy" (Mar 1973) "Physical Graffiti" (Feb 1975) "Presence" (Mar 1976) "Song Remains the Same" (Oct 1976) live album from 1973 at Madison Square Garden (Songs thru "Houses of the Holy") "In Through the Out Door" (Aug 1979)
Another great reactions! It was fun doing the live chat earlier! Really lifted my spirits! I'm going to send you a "you got it, my friend". I hope you use it someday!
You are correct that LZ was not singles driven. They may not have had any #1 singles but they had six #1 albums on Billboard and seven #1 albums in UK. They were the most iconic band of the 1970’s. Their strategy of being an album band was a trendsetter and strategically smart.
Led Zeppelin never wanted to release singles & didn't agree to it. The record companies released some singles & the Band were not happy! And there is only one version of No Quarter I want to listen to as it's so fabulous & that is Led Zeppelin! ♥️
This was from Led Zeppelin's 5th album in 1972 - 'Houses of the Holy'... Their self-titled album was their first in 1969... it was followed by 'Led Zeppelin II' in 1969... 'Led Zeppelin III' in 1970... and then, the big 4th record 'Led Zeppelin IV' or untitled 4th album in 1971. Led Zeppelin was the biggest band in the world when they released their 6th 1975 double album 'Physical graffiti'... They were sidelined when singer Robert Plant was seriously injured in a car accident in 1975. 7th album 'Presence' was released in 1976... it was done w/ Robert Plant in a wheelchair. It is the 'dark horse' Zeppelin album. 8th album 'In through the out door' in 1979 came after difficult time in Zeppelin's career, but was a huge hit. Unfortunately, John Bonham's death in 1980 ended Led Zeppelin. 9th album 'Coda' was released in 1982 comprised of tracks not released in their career. It's true... Led Zeppelin only had 1 top 40 chart hit single - "Whole lotta love" in 1969... That was because after 'Led Zeppelin III' in 1970, Led Zeppelin grew frustrated w/ the music press and the critical disdain from older music fans. They wanted to cater to their fans only and left out everyone who didn't give a damn... So, from 1971... Led Zeppelin refused to release any singles from their records... they refused to appear on TV... Only FM radio that had supported the band since 1969 could play their music & promote Led Zeppelin when they put out a new album (starting w/ "Led Zeppelin IV") and even though 'Stairway to Heaven' became a #1 song on demand in rock radio... it never made the charts because it was never released as a single. The message from Led Zeppelin was clear: If u want to hear the music ... you had to buy a Led Zeppelin album. If u want to see Led Zeppelin... you had to buy a concert ticket. It was a marketing ploy that worked... Led Zeppelin in the 70's sold 3-to-1 more concert tickets than The Rolling Stones... As a result, their manager Peter Grant demanded promoters that Led Zeppelin get 90% of the ticket sales (They were outraged, but they gave in to the demand) Their albums sold so well that even the biggest artists like The Carpenters, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Bee Gees, Abba ... could not compete w/ them.
Yes. You are correct. Several rock bands of the 60's and 70's were not interested in making hits to get money or fame, like Led Zeppelin....YES....Pink Floyd....The Moody Blues....Genesis...King Crimson, they were interested in the art of music and placing it on the entire album without time restrictions or amount of songs on the albums. The record companies hated it and threatened to cut these bands, and did....but the albums were best sellers which forced many companies to stay with these bands however the bands broke away from many of these record companies and started their own Record Companies like the Beatles with Apple....and Led Zeppelin with Swan Song Records......and Yes with InsideOut....or Pink Floyd with Harvest Records. The bands broke away, started their own label and record companies for freedom of the art of making music on their terms.
It is so much harder to create a masterpiece than to copy it. As all true artists would agree. I think Tool wanted to show their fans where they got some inspiration. 👊🏽⚡️
Imagine a band that was hard rock with four virtuoso musicians that were also creative and loved to branch out. Page was obviously the genius behind this creation but without the other three, they would have never existed. It is impossible to single out any one of their brilliant tracks as being different because so many were different. Straight ahead blues rock; subtle acoustic folk rock and then songs like this. Far and away the best rock band of all time and I feel so blessed to have lived through their career.
You can now understand how Tool were inspired to cover this. And remember, this is four guys in the 1970s. Absolute innovators ahead of their time. Live in 73 at MSG is a must!!! Best band EVER. ❤ They only ever released albums, no singles because they pleased themselves and had the support of Atlantic Records to have complete artistic control. Legendary.
No Quarter means No Mercy. Robert Plant was a lover of J.R.R. Tolkien writer of Lord of the Rings. You should do the live version of this song from their 1973 MSG concert. It's longer and amazing.
If you think this version's better you should check out the live at MSG version - it literally is the one where the live version is better than the studio version in every way
Being such a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was 10. I listen to most of the tool song and now I have to stop my ears from bleeding lol!!! Led Zeppelin is absolutely amazing Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are Rock Gods!! Zep Rules
JPJ can send you on an adventure with his key playing. A total experience on its own. Add in the rest of the band and you obviously can tell why this is one of the greatest Zeppelin songs! Hell, one of the greatest songs of all time!! Awesome reaction🤘🏼
The song is from their fifth album " Houses of the Holy ". The cover you had on your video is from a compilation album :) That aside, this song is absolute heaven. Jimmy Page's virtuoso playing, John Paul Jones' keyboard and bass playing, John Bonham's unbeatable drumming and Robert Plant's mesmerizing voice.
Back in the day in the 70's on the 4th of July the local radio would play the top 100 songs. #1 was always Stairway to Heaven. It felt like always! My sister and I listened as we tanned. You Shook Me or How Many More Times from the 1st album.
This track really show cases John Paul Jones multi instrumental talents in the band. He could play keys, base ,mandolin .Some one said he was the glue that kept Led Zep together .A real quiet achiever.
Best Band EVER! I’m going to see Robert Plant in concert for the 5th time in my life. I love this song, Since I’ve Been Loving You and When the Levee Breaks and practically every song they ever did!

Zeppelin recorded 108 songs. 90 of them are absolute fire. The remaining 18 are still better than what most other bands can dream of.
damn I was just about to post the same lol. If they did 2 reactions a week for a year they would be listening to damn near 100 hit songs
Interesting breakdown! Care to give a couple from the "remaining 18" list? I will offer "Four Sticks" as one I just don't love as much, lol.

Can you imagine hearing the music they never put on vinyl? Still better than most music today lol.
John Paul Jones is so underrated. He could play bass and keyboard with ease. Led is just awesome.
I know you mean he played bass and keyboard AT THE SAME TIME with ease ❤
Ray Manzarek agrees.
John Paul Jones is the heart and soul of Zeppelin... he's the glue that makes the music between the rest of the guys in the band seem so ethereal and seamless. Often overlooked because Jimmy, John, and Robert are front and center S-Tier Gods.... JPJ is a tier all by himself.
Definitely the band’s secret weapon
He's the greatest Glue Guy in the history of music. He played every instrument any way he needed to, often multiple at once, and completely held their whole sound together.
Definitely he could literally play anything.
The live version of this from msg 73 is INCREDIBLE❤
Absolutely!
it is one of the best... and the Page & Plant version is another banger
It’s on another entire level 💯 %
Nope, nope and triple nope.
Love the live version
Ten Years Gone is another great tune!
My favorite Zep song. ❤
Yes. Top 3 Zep song for me for sure
A hidden gem. Not on everyone's top 10 list. But I consider it top 10 for sure. 🙂🙂
Yes!!
One of the best songs of all time. I still get emotional every time I hear.
John Paul on keys 🔥🔥🔥🔥
While playing bass with foot pedals.. The man is a beast...
The next Led Zeppelin song you two should react to is Achilles Last Stand. Everyone knows Stairway to Heaven, but Achilles Last Stand is their best song, in my opinion of course.
Agree that should be their next song! It's effing amazing.
Accurate
Not my favorite but a great song
MONSTEŔ track. My current favourite zep track
Fuck yeah, in my top 5 Zep songs
The live "Since Ive Been Loving You" will blow your f××king minds
absolutely 😊
OMG - SUCH a SEXY PERFORMANCE by Plant in that one....and, Jimmy is just STELLAR in that performance, as well!! Gosh - the WHOLE BAND: SO TIGHT!! BANGER!
Yes, yes, yes!
They did the live version.
Studio version for me all day.

This one is heavy metal. Zep spanned the spectrum. Folk, blues, and metal.
Bah. We dont need no steenking charts. This tune outlasts popularity. Charts will fade, but this will stand forever.
I wouldn't say it's heavy metal which tends to be heavy all through and with lots of repetitive riffs. I'd say it was more progressive.
I would classify this song as psychedelic above anything
“Ramble On”

The fourth album has no title, but it's usually called "Led Zeppelin IV" (Nov 1971)
"Houses of the Holy" (Mar 1973)

"Song Remains the Same" (Oct 1976) live album from 1973 at Madison Square Garden (Songs thru "Houses of the Holy")
"In Through the Out Door" (Aug 1979)
This song takes you places.
Led II was the one fore me. I wore out 3 8-tracks while driving my 1972 Gremlin. Yes I am that old. Than you for keeping them alive.
I remember being blown away by this song in 1973.
Another great reactions! It was fun doing the live chat earlier! Really lifted my spirits! I'm going to send you a "you got it, my friend". I hope you use it someday!
The live version from TSRTS has the greatest live guitar solo ever recorded imo.
You are correct that LZ was not singles driven. They may not have had any #1 singles but they had six #1 albums on Billboard and seven #1 albums in UK. They were the most iconic band of the 1970’s.
Their strategy of being an album band was a trendsetter and strategically smart.
JRR Tolkien is all up in zeppelin lyrics, someone else I'm sure has mentioned. Ramble on etc....
Led Zeppelin never wanted to release singles & didn't agree to it. The record companies released some singles & the Band were not happy!
And there is only one version of No Quarter I want to listen to as it's so fabulous & that is Led Zeppelin! ♥️
Page on guitar,Plant on vocals and harmonica, Bonham on drums,and Jones on every other instrument. Jones is such an amazing talent!!
This was from Led Zeppelin's 5th album in 1972 - 'Houses of the Holy'... Their self-titled album was their first in 1969... it was followed by 'Led Zeppelin II' in 1969... 'Led Zeppelin III' in 1970... and then, the big 4th record 'Led Zeppelin IV' or untitled 4th album in 1971.
Led Zeppelin was the biggest band in the world when they released their 6th 1975 double album 'Physical graffiti'... They were sidelined when singer Robert Plant was seriously injured in a car accident in 1975.
7th album 'Presence' was released in 1976... it was done w/ Robert Plant in a wheelchair. It is the 'dark horse' Zeppelin album.
8th album 'In through the out door' in 1979 came after difficult time in Zeppelin's career, but was a huge hit. Unfortunately, John Bonham's death in 1980 ended Led Zeppelin.
9th album 'Coda' was released in 1982 comprised of tracks not released in their career.
It's true... Led Zeppelin only had 1 top 40 chart hit single - "Whole lotta love" in 1969... That was because after 'Led Zeppelin III' in 1970, Led Zeppelin grew frustrated w/ the music press and the critical disdain from older music fans. They wanted to cater to their fans only and left out everyone who didn't give a damn...
So, from 1971... Led Zeppelin refused to release any singles from their records... they refused to appear on TV... Only FM radio that had supported the band since 1969 could play their music & promote Led Zeppelin when they put out a new album (starting w/ "Led Zeppelin IV") and even though 'Stairway to Heaven' became a #1 song on demand in rock radio... it never made the charts because it was never released as a single.
The message from Led Zeppelin was clear: If u want to hear the music ... you had to buy a Led Zeppelin album.
If u want to see Led Zeppelin... you had to buy a concert ticket.
It was a marketing ploy that worked... Led Zeppelin in the 70's sold 3-to-1 more concert tickets than The Rolling Stones... As a result, their manager Peter Grant demanded promoters that Led Zeppelin get 90% of the ticket sales (They were outraged, but they gave in to the demand)
Their albums sold so well that even the biggest artists like The Carpenters, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Bee Gees, Abba ... could not compete w/ them.
Yes. You are correct. Several rock bands of the 60's and 70's were not interested in making hits to get money or fame, like Led Zeppelin....YES....Pink Floyd....The Moody Blues....Genesis...King Crimson, they were interested in the art of music and placing it on the entire album without time restrictions or amount of songs on the albums. The record companies hated it and threatened to cut these bands, and did....but the albums were best sellers which forced many companies to stay with these bands however the bands broke away from many of these record companies and started their own Record Companies like the Beatles with Apple....and Led Zeppelin with Swan Song Records......and Yes with InsideOut....or Pink Floyd with Harvest Records. The bands broke away, started their own label and record companies for freedom of the art of making music on their terms.
It is so much harder to create a masterpiece than to copy it. As all true artists would agree. I think Tool wanted to show their fans where they got some inspiration. 👊🏽⚡️
Imagine a band that was hard rock with four virtuoso musicians that were also creative and loved to branch out. Page was obviously the genius behind this creation but without the other three, they would have never existed. It is impossible to single out any one of their brilliant tracks as being different because so many were different. Straight ahead blues rock; subtle acoustic folk rock and then songs like this.
Far and away the best rock band of all time and I feel so blessed to have lived through their career.
There’s so much atmosphere in this song you can almost choke on it.
The live performance in MSG 73 is out this world....
You can now understand how Tool were inspired to cover this. And remember, this is four guys in the 1970s. Absolute innovators ahead of their time. Live in 73 at MSG is a must!!! Best band EVER. ❤ They only ever released albums, no singles because they pleased themselves and had the support of Atlantic Records to have complete artistic control. Legendary.
No Quarter means No Mercy. Robert Plant was a lover of J.R.R. Tolkien writer of Lord of the Rings. You should do the live version of this song from their 1973 MSG concert. It's longer and amazing.
If you think this version's better you should check out the live at MSG version - it literally is the one where the live version is better than the studio version in every way
One of my top TOP fave Zepp songs ever. Close the door, put out the light and have your love there ✌
My absolute favorite Led Zeppelin track. 🔥❤️
Although I have MANY close seconds.
The power of Led Zeppelin took you there. ❤😂
Being such a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was 10. I listen to most of the tool song and now I have to stop my ears from bleeding lol!!!
Led Zeppelin is absolutely amazing Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are Rock Gods!! Zep Rules
Bobby McFerrin's mom was my college vocal teacher
Live from the Album " The Song remains the same " is so much better !
Remember this was 1970’s and no auto tune just pure Genius! The Band and the lead singer, Robert Plant = Musical Geniuses!
Listening with your eyes closed is key to enjoying this song. Well done.
Enjoyed this reaction a bunch!
In the Light from Phyiscal Graffiti is also insanely good
Zeppelin was a LIVE band and were blacklisted by many radio stations. They were phenomenal live and I loved seeing them in the 70's.
JPJ can send you on an adventure with his key playing. A total experience on its own. Add in the rest of the band and you obviously can tell why this is one of the greatest Zeppelin songs! Hell, one of the greatest songs of all time!! Awesome reaction🤘🏼
Check out the live MSG ‘73 version of No Quarter. The jam in the middle is outstanding.
The song is from their fifth album " Houses of the Holy ".
The cover you had on your video is from a compilation album :)
That aside, this song is absolute heaven. Jimmy Page's virtuoso playing, John Paul Jones' keyboard and bass playing, John Bonham's unbeatable drumming and Robert Plant's mesmerizing voice.
Back in the day in the 70's on the 4th of July the local radio would play the top 100 songs. #1 was always Stairway to Heaven. It felt like always! My sister and I listened as we tanned. You Shook Me or How Many More Times from the 1st album.
This track really show cases John Paul Jones multi instrumental talents in the band. He could play keys, base ,mandolin .Some one said he was the glue that kept Led Zep together .A real quiet achiever.
This song was so revolutionary.
Best Band EVER! I’m going to see Robert Plant in concert for the 5th time in my life. I love this song, Since I’ve Been Loving You and When the Levee Breaks and practically every song they ever did!
The live version of this song is killer!
