TOOL - No Quarter Reaction | THANK YOU TOOL

[@SebaGTR7]

Water represents the unconscious

[@rx7dude2006]

Just a note on the Zeppelin version, there was no autotune back in 1973 the vocals were actually slowed down a bit in that recording of the song. The title is derived from the military practice of showing no mercy to a vanquished opponent and from the brave act of not asking for mercy when vanquished.

[@longingbydesign]

"'No quarter' refers to the US Revolutionary War when Great Britain enforced a policy requiring colonial Americans to house British soldiers and offer them food and a bed during the cold of winter. If this policy was refused to a British soldier, this "No Quarter" policy allowed the British soldier to invoke severe punishment (death, sometimes) on the American who refused him. This was only one of the many ways in which Britain attempted to legitimize their treatment of Americans in their effort to interrupt their recapture of the colonies."

[@sevenduster27]

rx7dude2006 I can definitely respect that man, I just think (in my personal opinion) they did it so much better than Led Zeppelin, they didn’t butcher it, they actually enhanced it in my opinion. But I do see and respect the rawness of the original. Without a doubt

[@martyanthony3419]

There was no autotune when Maynard sang it onstage either...

[@ronnybriley9774]

This song was a total playground for them. They released salival as kind of a prelude to Lateralus. It had been a while then since we had a new album. When this came out, I knew Lateralus was going to be insane. That was a great time for new tool music

[@ktopaz]

And so is this time!

[@justjaredreacts]

Thanks for doing this one Detrucci!!! Can't wait for You Lied!! Keep spiraling out my friend!

[@wolf-kissed]

Your 2nd guessing on this in the beginning was priceless. Of course this is a million times better than the original, respect obviously but (un)fortunately tool just did it on a different level.

[@Detrucci]

Agree :)

[@QueenBee-py3ks]

So, so good. Love this cover❤️

[@Soljarag5]

50 hours till I see Tool live!!!!

[@rhisilver969]

9 days for me!

[@Detrucci]

@@rhisilver969 I'm so excited for you both, I want stories :D

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

LUCKY! 47 hours now

[@stabbyeinstein6731]

15 days and counting!!

[@ryankirkham8130]

I saw them in Salt Lake City on October 18th. It was mind bending!!! I am jealous I can't see them again!

[@floridabelle]

I tried to listen to the Zeppelin version a few times a while back. I never got through it. I definitely like this version by TOOL.

[@Detrucci]

Agree, they are almost completely different songs.

[@1nintool]

You never stop a Tool song...

[@Detrucci]

I understand the arguement for it. But its a reaction video. If I wait until the end then i lose my thought process as with TOOL especially, they are so gifted technically that every moment and every transition is one of its own. A similar regular comment I see is do the album in order to understand the songs better, but the reactions are days and days apart so it doesnt work well that way. Both of those practices are better saved for when I listen to the album through personally in my own spare time :) Appreciate the feedback though. I hope you atleast enjoyed the video despite the pauses.

[@jp1170]

You have to listen to Zeppelins live versions or you can’t even begin appreciate the masterpiece of No Quarter

[@alicepleasance7664]

Maynard is singing through a megaphone...as he does on quit a few songs.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

Yeah I personally prefer his voice over megaphone.

[@normantompkins1252]

Like eulogy

[@josephburgess4285]

I think of it more like maynard got robert plant's point across, to a different generation, that listens with different ears. The echo-ey underwater-ey sound is supposed to be there. It is representative of the psychedelic experience. Which is really what the song is about.

[@cygnus_x1227]

“It doesn’t work in 2019” Tool has been performing this song since the early 90’s

[@archduke71]

This guy is a musical idiot

[@BlackAngel-wk1ir]

Tool - You Lied

[@kateeohlendorf]

I absolutely love the way this song made you smile. Your smile is contagious 😁

[@Detrucci]

😁

[@martyanthony3419]

Great reaction, brother. I'm TOOL Army for life, and a big Led Zep fan. MJK and the boys, did it better. They just did...

[@Detrucci]

They did, It might be that I didnt grow up in the Led Zeppelin era, but its better for sure.

[@Ian-oe9wp]

my interpretation of the song is that it's about someone in the process shutting himself off emotionally from other people or a partner (lock the doors and kill the lights ) this is someone that feels betrayed or cheated or has had his feelings abused by others and he no longer wants to have anything more taken from him emotionally like he doesn't want to give other's an inch (no quarter) he also feels alone and trapped and and can't escape it . but I could be completely wrong lol !

[@Detrucci]

That is a really insightful way of thinking about it :)

[@helenespaulding9372]

Ian sometimes things are metaphors.....sometimes they are telling a story. The “creepy” vibe you are getting is from the minor scale it was written in. It’s supposed to be creepy because it’s talking about war, battle, cruelty and death without mercy. Not a light subject. Read the lyrics. It’s about soldiers trying to get a message through the lines in the middle of freezing cold snow.......and they probably won’t make it.........they ask no quarter for themselves.........in other words they neither ask for nor give mercy.

[@helenespaulding9372]

Oh......and I had never heard the Tool cover of it.....and I agree that it is fabulous! No question. But No Quarter by Zep is actually one of my favorites of theirs, largely because of the cool guitar riff and bass guitar.....which Tool duplicated WONDERFULLY. So I love both versions. Thanks for introducing me to the Tool one. But p,ease....it’s nothing to do with “creepy” child porn.......it has to do with “creepy” war and death.

[@longingbydesign]

The Led Zeppelin version is unmatched even by Tool. I love both versions though. For more comparisons, check out Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" and the Pantera cover.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

Nah this is def tools song now.

[@kimmernew19]

Definitely the best cover I’ve ever heard. I think this was released in 2000? I could be wrong.

[@justjaredreacts]

100% agreed kimmer!

[@kimmernew19]

simplelines I’ve heard them all and still love Tool’s cover the best.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

Yeah this is on the salival "album", performed in 1998, released in 2000. I was born that year XD

[@Ian-oe9wp]

I think this was first performed in live 1994

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

@@Ian-oe9wp Are you sure that wasn't a song from Aenima before release?

[@longingbydesign]

Shouldn't the subtitle rather read "Reaction to Tool's No Quarter cover by Led Zeppelin"?

[@Detrucci]

Yes thank you, fixed it!

[@normantompkins1252]

I like both versions equally

[@jakecameron2976]

This cover kills!

[@rhisilver969]

Yay! I had the same reaction to the beginning of this song where they pay homage to Robert Plant’s vocal effect, I love it after that part. No Quarter is my least fav of Led Zep’s songs. Try not to let this turn you against trying some other Zep in the future. They did a lot to set the foundation for rock & roll and metal to come. One of the other comments defines no quarter, so I will just say a relisten once you’ve read that comment will help change that creepy vibe you got to one of war, weariness, and the distance sounds of battle Danny’s drumming brings to life.

[@Detrucci]

Il definitely give it a relisten. I think with the topic being war instead of creepy would make a big difference

[@ryankirkham8130]

You have to react to Tools version of Ted Nugent "Stranglehold"!

[@halfwaywrongway8017]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 GOOOOOOOES

[@halfwaywrongway8017]

Have you seen Maynards cover of rocket man?

[@LimeGuy101]

Robert plant was not autotuned bro

[@Detrucci]

I know that now thanks to the comments :) I still stand by that he sounds underwater on this song

[@LimeGuy101]

Yeah totally agree, I quite like it though, it suits the atmosphere of the song for me. Maynard uses a similar vocal filter on Descending, I honestly wish it got used more.

[@Detrucci]

@@LimeGuy101 I think the Led Zeppelin version is a great song for listening to while driving down the highways and country roads

[@isoul7484]

Neither was Maynard, he’s just talking through a filter, it’s not changing the pitch of his voice like an auto tune to make him sound better at singing than he actually is

[@heyskipj]

Just checking In to see if you’re alive after that Led Zep thrashing.

[@planet9938]

Is creepy a bad thing?

[@Detrucci]

Depends on the person I guess, For me its a bad thing but TOOL certainly help make it less creepy :) The Led Zeppelin one is way too creepy for me

[@50NewEyes]

Tool does it better....

[@Detrucci]

I agree :) That's the awesome thing about music, everyone has their own opinions on what is good haha

[@50NewEyes]

Detrucci when it’s time for hooker with a penis I came across this lyric vid the other day, best I’ve seen for this song. Anyways here you go... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4HEaJZ8idRmqKc

TOOL MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER EVEN LED ZEPPELIN, CHECK OUT THE SONG YOU LIED THIS ALSO A COVER OF A SONG DONE BY A GROUP CALLED PEACH WHICH IS THE BAND JUSTIN CHANCELLOR WAS IN BEFORE TOOL

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

Creepy is good Get over it. Listen to the lyrics

[@archduke71]

Just listen to the song dude...he's setting you up. Get a clue

[@idigthat73]

Zeps No Quarter is one of the greatest songs in existence, with the greatest riff in existence. Auto tune?? Lol man . I'm unsubbing now

[@Detrucci]

It may not be autotune but I am not going to apologise for my opinion. I dont think the vocals in that song sound good. I have seen other reactors on youtube pretend like they have never heard bohemiun rhapsody or Europe's Final Countdown and pretend to act surprised at certain parts. Thats like me saying ive never heard the famous lines 99 problems by Jay Z.. I aint here to lie to you all. If I dont like something...I am going to tell you. It doesn't mean I dont like Led Zeppelin. I think their other songs ive heard are some of the best rock songs out there. But unfortunately this one isn't one of them. imo ofcourse :)
