I’m late 50s. Zep has literally permeated my whole life! Nothing since has replaced them, in my opinion, as the greatest band ever. But if you don’t like/love/ appreciate this cover… you’re just uninformed, stupid or egotisticaly untouchable. It’s Fkn great
Or maybe you just have a particular taste in music. I dont think Maynard does due justice honestly. Plant’s voice is so more clearer. Tool put too much distortion especially in the beginning. But that’s just my opinion. And the original just grooves better 😅
@@McCarlKnoxville I love tool's version more, cuz I like heavier shit and a diehard tool fan lol, but it's absolutely true that people have different tastes in music and just cause u don't like tools cover as much as the original, if at all, doesn't mean ur "uninformed, stupid, or egotistically untouchable (whatever that means)". different strokes for different folks and aint nothing wrong with that. I do also really really like that quieter bridge section tool did.
i to grew up with LZ....in my mind, this cover is literally the only cover out of all the bands that cover LZ that comes close to the LZ version...however, Tool lacks the soul and the voice of plant...
Let's be honest ... it's extremely difficult to cover a Zep tune and bring to the table what LZ did... I'm a big Zep head but have to give credit where credit is due... amazing job by Tool.. just having the balls to tackle this piece of work says something all in itself... thanks guys keep up the great work!!
I agree without Plant it’s not the same but I do think the hard edge from Tool. This is what makes your show the best many different versions of the same song Thanks Guys!
OF COURSE Zeppelin is better and their version is better... appreciate it for what it is, another band's version...and they put some work into that. I think it's a great tribute. ...yeah, but it's not like my mom's recipe.... ugh
@@RosettaStoned462 Well im not gonna argue that since they are my favorite band of all time, but I don't think that is relevant to my comment. Not to mention Zepplin is a main ingredient in Tool's sound and evolution, so a bit of respect is certainly due.
This cover doesn’t even “feel” like a cover. If someone heard this in a vacuum without knowledge of the original, they’d assume Tool wrote it. IMO the mark of an incredible band is the ability to make a cover their own and still pay homage to the original artist. 🌀
In my opinion, it's a well done, respectable cover. To my ear, it sounds like it's coming from the cold, desolate, wastes of outer space, whereas the original sounds like its coming from interdimensional planes of existence. The original is very alluring, enticing, inviting and shiver inducing with hints of promise.
It might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer this to the original. Not by much, and I love both. This just fits a little better with my grunge playlist. It's also more bass heavy and sounds better on my sound system.
Zeppelin has an x factor that can be best described as Romanticism, and is impossible to duplicate unless that spirit is inherent to all band members. But this is a very skillful rendition.
Tool are like a cross between Zeppelin and King Crimson, with their own heartbeat. You better be good coming from that place. And these dudes are that good. Goddamn.
Great reaction, gentlemen! 🔥 One of my top Zeppelin songs, but I must say this was an incredible version! The second half was so intense! I particularly enjoyed the way Maynard sang (towards the end of the song) “They carry news that must get through, To build a dream for me and you”. What he did with the vocal melody there was so creative and it fit so well with the arrangement. EDIT: The lyrics sounded different to me so I looked them up, and sure enough, Tool’s version does indeed have different lyrics. The portion I’d mentioned above is actually sung as “They bring news that must get through, Dying peace in me and you”. Wowww!! 🔥
Nope this surpassed the suppressed and lazily expressive original, the original is good but honestly a boring song for Led Zeppelin, Tool respectful made it a fun song.
Give me Led Zeppelin for sure, I give Tool props for taking it on and doing a respectable cover in their own way. At least the song stays alive when any well known band plays it. I just like Zeppelin's vibe and sound more than Tool, who sure have their own fan base and present a different type of heavy music. One thing is for certain, Zeppelin's music continues to live and always will.
I like this and yes I’m a boomer too but I like when bands take a song and make it their own they put their little twist on it and you can definitely hear tools influence on this one just like Metallica did they took songs from the 70s and made it their own and I like that good song
What happened to the rest of The Song Remains The Same, the blues medley alone of Whole Lotta Love is worth the effort. Never mind i found your other link, Thanks
still prefer panteras version of 'planet caravan' (im a huge black sabbath fan) still prefer led zeps original tool is one of my best bands period but nope , voice wrong. he should of trusted his voice a lot more. the music to this is ok tho. so i cant even get into at that point il listen to leds all day over this. nobody should cover tools songs lol so this is the pot calling the kettle black just pissing all over leds version.
He does it in live performances and people really think that he's holding those long notes like that when it's totally 😅 effects on the soundboard that give the appearance ithat he's sitting there holding those notes he uses a LOT of reverb and pitch correction and auto-tune.but I do enjoy the their earlier stuff
Both versions are incredible, but I slightly prefer TOOLs rendition for whatever reason. This is a great cover because it simultaneously pays homage to the original, while totally making it true to their bands sound. This sounds like a tool track. I think a lot of comments are underestimating Maynard as a vocalist. While he doesn’t have the upper range of Plant, I think he more than makes you for it with his power and ferocity
No competition. Zep version is great. This version is great. Maynard isn’t Robert Plant (few can be) - but TOOL pulled this off 110%. It’s such an amazing cover, they become 2 different songs - both - incredible. LearnToSwim!
Danny Carey is an amazing drummer, but his drumming doesn't do it for me on this tune. He doesn't have Bonzo's feel, and those extra fills take away from the song IMO.
Anyone who remakes a song from the original band is showing respect of how good that song was and that the band was influenced by them. No problem with this.
First listen to Tool ever. I only came here as a subscriber to Airplay Beats and a huge Zep Head. I'll now probably listen to some more Tool. Great cover but just falling short of LZ. Thanks. Cheers✌
You touched on the real issue, comparison wise. Not a good decision to distort Maynard’s voice in this version. Maynard has the chops to stand up to Robert Plant. Bad decision to tweak with his vocals.
I discovered the sound of my people in 1970 when I heard 'immigrant song' by Led Zeppelin, fast forward to 1995 and my teenage son introduced me to Tool, today I still listen to Tool everyday and several of my grandchildren are fans! Led will always be Led to me but I love Tool's cover of No Quarter ❤🔥
I prefer Jason Bonham's band for doing LZ covers. If you ever have a chance to see his band GO!!! I can appreciate any band's respect to the mighty, mighty Led Zeppelin. Tool is very talented. ❤😊
I’m glad it changed y’all’s view later lol….have to be patient 🌀👽 some people already have their mind up on when people do covers before they react. Just because it doesn’t sound exactly the same, Tool definitely knows what to do on a cover✨
Overall, I do prefer the original studio version by Zeppelin, however, I do prefer Tool's sound on the guitar, that full distorted tone is so much more full than the Zeppelin version, but I prefer the Zeppelin version overall.
Great cover, in many ways better than the original but for me the TSRTS version with the greatest live solo ever put on tape is the definitive version.
Way more Tool guys!!! Please,They will blow you away! Genius music, so talented!!! One of the best drummers in the world!!!! Tool has So much respect, that Tool is just doing a trbute to one of their hero bands!!! It wasn't put out to be conpared!!! People understand that, so it's all good with Zeppelin fans!!!
To me, it sounds like Led Zepplin wrote this for Tool. Much like David Bowie wrote "The Man Who Sold The World" for Nirvana. (Not really, but the covers sound better IMO)
Cool, But some bands wants to sound more heavy,, Saxon and Square than Zepp itself (and they were funky)...The Led Zepp tribute album "Encomium" has some interesting covers of Zep songs. Especially Mana’s cover of “fool in the rain”. It may not be better than the Zepp original but it's great because being a Mexican band, Mana is right at home given the Latin feel of "Fool in the rain" , even playing with Mariacci style 
Totally appreciate that a band of Tool's caliber attempted this immortal song. Is it better than the original? I don't think any band could surpass Plant/Page. 😊
They are not "just redoing the music." Zeppelin is legendary and I'll never speak a negative word about them. HOWEVER...TOOL made this song their own. The changes and differences between the two tracks are both subtle and profound. Despite that sounding counterintuitive or mutually exclusive, TOOL did just that with No Quarter. They're two entirely different songs bearing the same title. The lyrics aren't even the same, not to mention arrangements, key, time signatures, ECT...
As a hard core Zep fan, I found this interesting. It started off Zep like and then went total Tool. Took me a while to get into it, but it ended strong. I'll be back for another listen.
Really excellent cover with a different menacing vibe! I love the live version from the original The Song Remains the Same soundtrack--not the 2018 remaster which used different tracks from the three-night stand at Madison Square Garden. Bonham was a monster, Danny Carey is ferocious enough to do this one.
That musical Interlude at the end sounds so much like Mastodon that I thought they must’ve toured together, but TθθL’s debut of that cover was well before Mastadon even formed.
