Led Zeppelin - No Quarter Reaction/Review

[@andrearodriguez9005]

In high school I used to fall asleep to this every single night. Such a vibe

[@dougmartinez8928]

Andrea is a bit of a cracking sort....

[@riphopfer5816]

I like your style. I did the same with Pink Floyd’s ‘Echoes.’

[@alrivers2297]

This is the one LZ song that reminds me of Pink Floyd. It has that mellow trippy vibe which Floyd did a lot of.

[@dickcnormis1444]

This has always been my favorite Zep album,mostly due to the Rain Song and No Quarter and the live versions of both songs are even more epic.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

From the first couple of lines, a movie starts instantly rolling in my head when I listen to this song.

[@tinagilbert8902]

👏👏👏Me too!! Love it!!😎

LIVE VERSION - 1973 Madison Square Garden - just fantastic. And a bit different vibe.

[@hankmoody3285]

2007 O2 version is very good too

[@juliemanarin4127]

Unbelievable live!

[@sargondp69]

That one is good and some of the P&P ones live as well. But the CDay 2007 No Quarter is the best rock song performance I have ever seen. It is memorizing, even for Led Zeppelin. Great concert start to finish.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

That's Exactly Why Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath Are Known As "The Founding Fathers" Of Hard Rock/Metal Music & They Would Influence So Many Bands To Follow After Them.

[@glenmarechal7957]

There are no others

[@tektoniks_architects]

Perfect example of a great Zep song from the studio that was made epic in their live shows.

[@vickieray]

Oh I gotta catch this one before I go to bed!! Love it 🥰 John Paul Jones is a genius 🎼🎹🎼

[@geraintlumley6432]

You are so right, JPJ's contribution is often overlooked

[@debbiemccain5850]

The term "no quarter" meant no mercy back during the wars in the Viking days, which is what this song is about🎸🎵💜🎶 This song is a masterpiece!!🎶

[@heliotropezzz333]

The term was used as in medieval times. I'm not sure the Vikings ever gave quarter but medieval armies sometimes did.

[@debbiemccain5850]

@@heliotropezzz333 well, I had read up on it a while ago, and thats the info I found, along with it being a slang term used by pirates🤷‍♀️

[@heliotropezzz333]

@@debbiemccain5850 O.K. You may be right. I've never heard it in connection with Vikings but Pirates, I'd think yes.

[@OUigot]

"No Quarter" is an old English term meaning "no mercy." Eg; soldiers slaughtered a village, therefore they "gave no quarter." I know, it doesn't make sense, but that was old English.

[@jimbenson3926]

Quarters as in housing or accommodation for military personnel. So 'no quarter'means no food, no roof over their heads, no nothing.

[@OUigot]

@@jimbenson3926 - Yes, that is what "Quarters" means. "No Quarter" means no mercy. It's not an American term, it's an old English term. Some British still use it to this day.

[@gurneyhalleck1127]

"No Quarter" means "take no prisoners/allow no surrender/no mercy". There are a few competing theories as to what it means. Regarding the prisoners part the one mentioning "quartering" people is relevant, i.e. don't house any prisoners just kill them. Another theory is that "quarter" refers to an agreement thus referring to the no surrender. A third theory is that "quarter" refers to the ransom of a captured officer was a quarter of their pay.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Yes, these lyrics take more of a fantasy aspect; most likely from Lord Of The Rings. The "winds of Thor" don't reference the god of thunder, but instead Mount Thor, a real mountain range in Canada. In the Lord Of The Rings, the group of good guys were temporarily trapped on a mountain range where they faced a blizzard and avalanches of rocks (the snow falls hard and don't you know and the snow drives back the foot that's slow). To ask no quarter means telling your enemy to take their best shot. To give no quarter means you will give no mercy.

[@kendixon7118]

Any zeppelin is a good day the live msg version will give you chills zeppelins inspiration was mythological and the lord of the rings viking, Norse men ect...

[@tinagilbert8902]

👏👏👏You nailed it on the brilliance of Zeppelin.... it wasn't only their talent, it was ther innovation!! Complete brilliance ESPECIALLY considering the Era and add on top of that.... their AGES!!! Robert and JPJ were only 20 years old and Jimmy and Bonham only 24 when they started!! The stars aligned for them and the magic was in the 4 of them TOGETHER! PERIOD!! 🙃 Oh and 👏👏👏 "Gods in blouses", couldn't have said it better myself!!😂🤣 The way Robert and Jimmy wore them is awful appealing to most girls!! And I wasn't even born when Zep released their first album but STILL even in late 80's, us young teenage girls were in love with with their umm yeah, their blouses!! 😉 You boys say it's "feminine".... us girls say it's sexy as hell!!😁 Now about the reaction and this song.... this one gives me the chills every single time!! It's not something I can put into words, it's just a feeling! It sorta takes me to another "place" in my soul you know??!! Anyway, I freaking love this Zeppelin journey with you and the fam!! It's been a hell of a ride and I feel privileged to be on the journey with you!! Also.... LOVE your absolute love of Zeppelin and the way you truly appreciate the level of talent, heart and Soul that went into each song and album!! This is definitely "trip" music. It takes you somewhere!!

[@joep5146]

Hands down my favorite Zeppelin song. A masterpiece.

[@zosomoso]

I’m not crazy about the studio mixing on the album version. Funny cus I think it was the infamous Eddie Kramer. The live version from MSG ‘73 is unreal and by far the best version. Also has Page’s all time best solo imo.

[@yenlard6683]

Totally agree…mind blowing solo 🔥

"No Quarter" live from TSRTS is one of my favorite live performances from Zeppelin. If you haven't seen it already, it's JPJ's video from the movie.

[@johnnyryall1400]

Houses of the Holy is my favorite led zep album. Over the Hills and Far Away is my all time favorite led zep track!

[@reha1066]

Thank you for the reaction. One of my favorites. I think you would really enjoy one of the live versions. Like MSG "73" or O2 arena in "07". There is something different in the live versions. They always evolve and play differently but absolutely amazing. ✌️

[@joeltwinx3805]

Great Great Song, Beautiful if you experience it live and in person

[@riphopfer5816]

Andrea Rodriguez just reminded me: if you dig this tune, you must listen to Pink Floyd’s ‘Echoes’, live in Pompeii, and if you do it, you MUST do Parts 1 AND 2. Doin Part 1 alone is literally playing half a bloody song. Drives me batshit when folks do that. Plus, some of the most legendary, wicked bits of that tune are at the end of part 1, where it turns into part 2.

[@kathleensmith3555]

Love Zeppelin- lol road trip music to me is The Doors - have you reacted to them yet? - try Riders on the Storm or Moonlight Drive - Waiting for the Sun

[@mouseshadow5828]

Check out Tool's cover of No Quarter. In my opinion, it's the best cover song ever made.

[@pbdez0623]

When Letterman recalled the speech Tenacious D frontman Jack Black delivered for the group at the ceremony -- "Your music was about sex, was about vikings, was about vikings having sex" -- Jones was quick to correct him: "You missed the bit about vikings having sex with hobbits."

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Hey Biz - the term "no quarter" means you have no shelter, there's no room at the inn. Quarters can mean living space, or a place to sleep for the night. So this poor group has a mission to get important information to someone somewhere, but the winds of Thor are blowing cold, and they might die. Cool song.

This song is about two knights on a journey in the middle ages who get into combat with the enemy and take no prisoners that is what no quarter means

[@riphopfer5816]

One of the best acid/psychedelic tunes in the history of psychedelic rock. If you dig this, may I recommend the tune ‘7-Screaming Diz-Busters’ from the record On Your Feet Or On Your Knees’, by Blue Öyster Cult? (BTW:’D’Yer Mak’Er’ is pronounced ‘Jer-MAKE-er’. Dig it? Because it’s got a reggae beat, they named it after the Cockney pronunciation of ‘Jamaica’.)

Great review, as always!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And I’m pretty sure that waaaaay back I remember several people mentioning this album … not me, because while I like it, it isn’t my fav Zeppelin album 🤷‍♀️ I have REALLY enjoyed your Zeppelin journey!!! They definitely left a mark in the world!!! And I have never tried to figure out the nonsense that goes on in my own head, much less Zeppelin lyrics!!! 😜😂🤣 This was definitely a “vibe” song from back in the day 🤷‍♀️😜😂 but I guess it could be a road song too … haha Okay, gotta go finish fixing dinner now.

[@mr.knowitall6440]

"No Quarter" means that a fight will be to the death... Take no prisoners. It's common to read or hear the phrase "No quarter was asked, and none given" in tales of fierce battles. Wikipedia mentions that pirates used a black flag to indicate that they would "give quarter" if the victims would surrender promptly, since they wanted to keep the captured ships, and their own, in good condition... "No Quarter" would be bad business...

[@jackolson8775]

D'yer Maker is meant to be a play on an English accent. Its actually pronounced " Djer-maykuh" or Jamaica. Thin Lizzy, an Irish band, is kinda the same thing with Irish accents who don't pronounce the "h" in Thin , making it Tin Lizzy , the Model T car. ✌🏼

[@DoomsdayIsComing73]

Shiiiit, you saved the best for almost last!! Best track on the is album, which is saying something. Now that you’ve heard it, go watch the live version, from the film “The Song Remains The Same”, which is a concert movie, Live from Madison Square Garden, 1976, I believe!?? 🤷🏻 Even better than the studio cut….

Hey, Biz (I'm with you a long time... I need to shorten the form of address, no disrespect). Maybe more than road trip music. The great ones- Zep, Floyd, Leonard Cohen, Prince- all play on your emotions. And their songs can change, or help form, your own emotions because they are THAT GOOD. Your response varies as your mood. What's constant is the masterful songcraft and musicianship and even charisma (well Pink Floyd after Syd Barrett left as the exception). Peace and be safe.

[@glenpound9353]

Dyer Maker is supposed to be pronounced Jamaica, it was a tribute to a trip they took to Jamaica

[@tektoniks_architects]

Actually, it was a play on the phrase: "didya make her?" ("Ja-maker?")

[@glenpound9353]

Language Watch Edit "D'yer Mak'er" /dʒəˈmeɪkə/ is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. The title is a play on the word "Jamaica" when spoken in an English accent.[2]
