Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Simon Rhythm Player	#1 by Simon Pardins at Jun 4, 1978 at 1:41 AM EST
	I look at this song as someone coming to grips with their own death. It reminds me very much of a person I just got to know just a few days ago, and we're talking and she brings up the fact that she may have cancer. She's had a cyst in her chest for over a year, which can't be healed, and her family gets different kinds of cancer very easily (she's already losing two close relatives to it). She says she could go at anytime, but she's okay with that. After she told me that, I listened to this when I got home and it reminded me of her, and her situation.

No Picture ThunderWolf Average	#2 by ThunderWolf at Dec 24, 1980 at 5:30 AM EST
	ok after listening to both after each other, i must say the Tool version is very very good, and a nice spin on the lyrics to turn them into the first person perspesctive. However, (i may sound biased here because No Quarter is one of my favourate, if not most favorate led zep song) the Tool version isnt as good as the original. Dont get me wrong, its fuckin awsome! Its a very big task to cover a led zep song, and they did it perfectly, its just that it lacks something the original has, its scary yes, its dark yes, but its not as haunting, in the original theres a perfect amount of destortion on the guitar, here theres a little to much. I would say the tool version is more apocalyptic, and it works, but its not what led zep intended the song to be, here you dont get the feel of being all alone on that dark, cold, wintery road in the middle of nowhere, you get something else, which i think what Tool intended to do, and it definatly works. Led zep win by a margin (a very small margin) but still, this is probably the best cover of any song ive ever heard. Period.

No Picture will Wanna Be	#3 by will bennett at Apr 25, 1982 at 6:11 PM EST
	Excellent cover of Led Zeppelin. However, I still like the orignal better.

No Picture Christian Count Average	#4 by Christian Country Rocker at Nov 22, 1982 at 9:02 AM EST
	i agree, joshthack - a pretty different (but totally awesome) interpretation of led zep, again highlighting how tool are supremely talented technically as well as artistically

No Picture Commie Badass	#5 by Commie Hunter!!! at Mar 16, 1989 at 5:26 AM EST
	HEY IDIOTS Page - rated one of the gretest of all time, your are fool's and have no idea do you, sure tool is good but why do think bands like tool copy Zep, Floyd and so on, it's cause they can't do it this good them selves. Tell me what you think of Steve Morse, Hendrix, David 'the PINK FLOYD' Gilmore. Do you know who these people are? I'll help you they are ----- Rock God's.

No Picture joe Average	#6 by joe at Mar 4, 1999 at 12:20 PM EST
	I can only recognise maybe 12 of that top 21, but yeah, I agree with the ones I recognise. Good stuff.

No Picture Damien Wanna Be	#7 by Damien Clark at Jul 22, 2000 at 2:30 AM EST
	dude (aneurysm1985), you couldn't have put it better, led zep just had that way with their music. it just fits the time that when you hear the song the first time you picture the knights riding horseback fighting off the opposing forces. but tool's cover definitely fits their style. this cover definitely rocks

No Picture Duncan Musical Genius	#8 by Duncan Jones at Mar 9, 2006 at 9:03 PM EST
	i think this song is about being in a lonely place that you dont want to be in.this song has a very overt meaning.

No Picture nick Average	#9 by nick allison at Jul 12, 2007 at 1:09 PM EST
	I love this song so much... so i downloaded the original.... seriously people, the original is downright awful. It sounded like a MIDI file.... i think Led Zeppelin is so overrated....
