TOOL - No Quarter (first time song reaction)

[@kirawasareactor]

this is originally was a patreon exclusive (hence me mentioning 'final track' at the beginning) but i loved it so much i thought i'd share it with everyone on YT as well. enjoy!

[@alvaro6522]

Thank sooo much!!!

[@stephenthomson6230]

So glad you did!!

[@ElegantDecisis]

No Quarter is one of the best Tool songs Led Zepplin ever wrote.

[@JanKowalski-rd7yb]

Same😁 I've got "Houses of the Holy", and the original version is obviously a quality on its own, but... Tool's version hits familiar, yet completely different, if that makes any sense. "No Quarter" and "You Lied" are my favorites from "Salival".

[@andrewfogle73]

Perfectly said

[@rafanj824]

Absolutely.

[@dieggosilva9909]

Came here for this.

[@youtubebannedme4207]

led zeppelin probably stole it from another band. they're known thieves.

[@stephenroby8498]

Tool shows respect to Zeppelin, and they show that no one can take them from the top of the mountain. Play this for Dad to see his reaction.

[@nevermoresmith63]

Pink floyd, tool and zeppelin perfected music and made it an experience

[@JessyJeffers]

First heard tool when I was 38. I am now 63, and their sound is as good or better than the first. I can tell you are digging them. They are like a psychedelic mind trip. Keep on jamming. Loved your reaction, it was just as pure as tools sound. Thanks for putting this out.

[@kirawasareactor]

Well said!

[@menotyou8369]

You have just experienced the greatest cover of all time. Indeed, it's almost an insult to call it a cover, it is a rebirth.

[@samg1803]

I've watched this reaction like four times since yesterday, you got infectious energy.. keeps bringing me back

[@mouseshadow5828]

Best cover song ever created

[@nubbinthemonkey]

Tool did a similar thing with one of their own songs, "Push it" from aenema was re-interpreted by the band to the point it's a whole new thing. Insane head-trip. They brought in this tabla master who worked with Carey to play on it. You can hear it live on the Salival album. Listen to the original then the cover.

[@ryanb9452]

Pushit has always been my favorite Tool song...The reimagined Pushit on Salival is still my favorite song they ever released.

[@thepooz7205]

I can’t even fathom any Led Zep fan not liking this cover, unless they had some previous irrational hatred for Tool. This is also a great example of how Tool is the BEST at composing “outros” to songs.

[@jensclarberg6419]

I became a musician because of Led Zeppelin and a bassist because of JPJ but Tools version exceeds Led Zeppelins. Although the 1973 live version of No Quarter just about edges it I think.

[@CharlesWalsh-r7p]

@@jensclarberg6419 in your opinion it exceeds the original

[@jensclarberg6419]

@@CharlesWalsh-r7p Obviously?

[@ryanb9452]

When you went from the head-bob to punching the air is my favorite part. Mainly because that's what I do when listening to this Tool song. Also, when you lost it and had to walk around the room during Maynard's scream is a Chef's Kiss...Nobody screams like Maynard screams. Losing your sh*t, and having to walk around the room during the scream is why JMK should be in the Hall Of Fame!.

[@mattysxmusicxfiles9198]

I remember buying this when it was released in 2000. Thank god I still have it too. They sell on eBay for up to $400 now!

[@TheHammerComesDown]

Your exacts movements and excitement are quite litteraly me anytime i have my headphones on. Especially with this song

[@fermentedfrank8]

Just saw them 2 weeks ago in Corpus Christi, Tx! And of course they played just as good as they've always have, amazing show. Love the channel, subbed!

[@ryanb9452]

The No Quarter redux by Tool is one of my favorite songs from Tool...I am really wanting the upload of your 10,000 Days listen Kira.

[@nez99]

Thank you so much for this. It was so fun watching you hear that for the first time, its how I feel about hearing that song every time. Its so powerful. I cried watching your reaction!!! Thank you so much!

[@egoexit-ichimwir7764]

I love hearing you!!! Kisses and Thank you!!

[@bassvibasics479]

Yep- contains two of the TOOL hallmarks; it's in D minor, and deviates into the obligatory 7/4 section.

[@adammichener987]

I saw them play this a few years ago on Halloween dressed as Led Zeppelin

[@hognaut]

Generally ime not keen on covers, but this is epic, that's the beauty of Tool, you just don't know what's round the corner, except for one thing...pure excellence. Love the reaction 👍

[@LateButGreat]

It's really satisfying to watch your body expressions to this song. I enjoy it the same way as you do. Tool is amazingly INSANE!l

[@sarahpope8658]

You have to check out A Perfect Circle's cover of When the Levee Breaks.... it's amazing!

[@Literallyjustmint]

Live at red rocks please it's like twice as good. The solo at the end is one of the best guitar solos ever.

[@sarahpope8658]

@@Literallyjustmint agreed!

[@taihaole4900]

Great recommendation!

[@Colby_Purrins801]

‘Tool just does it, man.’ Perfect statement hahaha

[@hognaut]

A major Zepp fan and a major Tool fan, this is an absolute win

[@elduderino7725]

They still play it occasionally at live shows. I've seen them play it a couple of times in the last 5 years or so.

[@thisistheyear99]

I think your my fav human ever 😆 Your personality is so fun. Great track eh. TOOL is so wicked 🤘🏼👁🌀🌀🌀

[@farn451]

Gong time! Danny on the big sheet metal 💪🏽 Tool is a perfect storm of 4 of the best musicians working in rock. they're play what the song needs, each capable of playing more but working like some kind of organism to serve the whole. If you didn't know this was a cover you'd think it was just a Tool song with more traditional rock n roll vibes.

[@aldousorwell3807]

My Favorite Cover Song In History!😍 This song NEEDED that Bassey Tone! ...You should check out Hed PE covering 'Sabbra Cadabbra' by Black Sabbath!🤩

[@heyskipj]

Been a long time since I've seen a song bounce you out of your seat! Love when the tempo is sludging at snail's pace but Danny fills at turbo speed. So good. Great respect to the original with this version too.

[@Wilem35]

Maynard and Plant? Love them both.

[@alexl8065]

10,000 days!! Can’t wait! Great video as always!

[@antdujar]

One of the best covers out there.

[@blainedonlon]

I love cover songs as long as the band covering the song actually changes the song, because yeah, I've already heard it before so LETS CHANGE IT UP!!!... No Quarter is so great and there's some excellent covers of it..... Type O Negative was the best at covering songs, Angry Inch, Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Cinnamon Girl to name some.

[@themetalpig7613]

I think the story roughly goes that Tool were invited to submit a song for a Led Zeppelin tribute album, the ppl putting the album together told Tool they needed to shorten the song, Tool said they didn't want to compromise on their vision because of their respect for Zeppelin and said thanks but no thanks and kept the song for themselves. Big mistake by the organisers because the album would've sold way more if it had this song on it.

[@crayb420]

Cool beans, I figured it was just tossed onto the salival release like they include at live performances, thanks for your insight... also I would've bought the cover album if tool was on it haha

[@avedic]

That's.....hilarious. And I didn't know that. The fact they got THIS cover....and were like, can you make it less? Is hilarious...

[@billrobertjoe]

​@@avedici mean albums had limits on how long they could be back then.

[@jacksonmyers3187]

What a stupid thing to do by the organizers. Led Zeppelin got very little radio play throughout their careers because they refused to chop their songs into three-minute bites. Why the hell would a band that truly respects Zeppelin agree to something like that?

[@fallguy6196]

Yea it was for Howard Stern on his movie private parts. Tool told Howard to f himself

[@yamyamyams2629]

😊 I feel like you're my favorite person to watch process new music.

[@TheHammerComesDown]

Very souxsie and the banshees sounding on some parts

As always, Danny kills it.

[@DMor1arty]

[@hikeymoblackout8528]

Yes they're.. All of the above 😊

[@thegoatchild3545]

TOOL always sound like TOOL, even when they cover the mighty Zeppelin.

[@le_petit_calimero]

Great reaction! I was searching for a Led Zeppelin fan to react to this one! 🔥(Also love Jiji and Totoro in the background ♥) Edit: Please consider listening to their Salival version of Pushit, if you haven't done that already :) It's another masterpiece of Tool, like ... heck, like every song they make.

[@chriswebb7822]

Tool are masters of space, timing and most importantly TONE !

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Check out A PERFECT CIRCLE's cover of "When The Levee Breaks." It's amazing. 🤞✌️

Zeppelin walked so that TOOL can run

BEST. AIR GUITAR. EVER. ❤❤❤❤

[@undertow9547]

Holiday has ended on the Gold Coast , back home, so uninspired... Then seen you and tool,, there's that warmth again... Like always you kicked it out of the park,, perfection

[@sacredgeometry]

0:30 Ye of little faith. This is one of the best covers ever recorded.

[@vanilla_milkshake]

this cover makes the original sound like a rough demo. This is the best version possible.

[@hognaut]

Wooo, that's a big shout

[@jorgealvarezsinprecedentes]

I agree

[@CharlesWalsh-r7p]

Nah look it’s a good cover but come on better then the zeppelin version it’s especially not as good as the live version from 1973 it lacks the wariness that the zeppelin version had

[@ryanb7665]

I don't know who you are, but this is the greatest reaction I've ever seen. Needless to say I liked I subscribed and I'm ready for more. Be sure to share this song with your pops.

[@bruun1974]

Exactly! "It feels Tool"! So much so that if you didn't know Led Seppelin and this song, you'd never know it was a cover, but "just" another Tool masterpiece. As far as covers go, I have it like this. Either you copy it completely and play and sound exactly like the original, or you make it your own while still paying tribute and respect to the original (meaning also you don't fucking do it, unless you can pull it off) and Tool obviously did ALL of that and then some. ❤🙃

[@GobiPup]

When I first heard this I thought “I’m a Led Zeppelin fan and this is better.”

[@anthonypallen7919]

Great reaction

[@jrexp4978]

Best reaction ever ❤

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

it does indeed feel "Tool", and thats why we love it 👍 edit: your joy is infectious btw

[@brandonfiest6368]

Well your brain is going to pop, sorry Maynards other band, A Perfect Circle, also did a led zeppelin cover. They covered 'When the Levee Breaks'. Its great lol

[@MostlyCloudy]

yeah Zepplin is Danny's favorite too ;)

[@coreyrice-zn4ey]

Tool played this song during their show at the toledo sports arena. Years ago.

[@tonysoto8949]

There is a really rough cover that Maynard did with A Perfect Circle that is so unique it’s very rare and is not found on any of their albums. It’s actually a dual cover where they mixed Diary of a Mad Man by Ozzy with Love Song by The Cure and it’s called Diary of a Love Song. I actually love it even though the only recording of the song was. Captured by someone in the audience’s using his phone

[@dianajemison105]

It's on eMOTIVe Live.

[@theig298]

Dude, this was live (remastered for the album, but a live recording). Sick reaction. 🤘 Any track of Tool that you haven't heard yet, I'll love to see your reaction. Wings for Marie parts 1 and 2 if you're gonna do 10000 days but bring some tissues.

[@jonfernandez4271]

I grew up with Led Zeppelin, but I like this version of No Quarter better. Mostly because of Maynard, but the entire band nails it, as is their custom.

[@RedNightmare757]

Theres a band i think you would really like that you most likely never heard of... The band is named "Floater" trust me you wont be disappointed

[@snax087]

where's our 10,000 days reaction? 😥 one of the best zeppelin covers ive ever heard

[@caracoidwren944]

Loved you reaction! Just one question (if you ever find this comment) you have half an Australian accent, half American. But the two are clearly separated. Usually people who have been influenced by a different accent give hints of their native accents while the dominant acquired accent takes the fore. Unusual. How did that happen?

[@susiejo143]

Great great stuff!! Love Tool forever!!

[@bite28]

The sheer intensity and energy in their music is mind-b. I'll leave you with a request. You have to react to October Ends' new song, it's mind-blowing!

[@me_n_my_arrows]

Also, you should check out Maynard’s cover of Elton John’s Rocket Man and his other, other band Puscifer’s cover of Queens, Bohemian Rhapsody, for some proper non-Zeppelin related covers.

[@richpeltier9519]

This was originally recorded for the sound track to Howard Stern's movie. The band couldn't deliver by the deadline and Howard ended up suing them for breach (I think). He went on to trash the band for years because of it, even though he claimed that he understood their point about not wanting to deliver a product that wasn't up to their standards. When music and business intersect, shit reeks of evil. Welcome my son, welcome to... the machine. 🤟🧙‍♂🤟 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

[@Red-Eyed_Goose]

🚨TOOL COVERS🚨 BEST: ‘No Quarter’ WORST: ‘Strangehold’ UNDERRATED: ‘Demon Cleaner’

[@victor_.]

You lied is among the best too

[@Gideonite]

You need to hear Maynard cover “When the Levee breaks” with A Perfect Circle, it’s a similar kind of cover where he makes it his own, the live version is better than the studio. I think it’s at Red rocks.

[@me_n_my_arrows]

What did your family think when you shared this version with them? Was your sis already familiar, did you show your pop?

[@ZosoDerGoldene]

Anyone heard the whispers in the background, too? :-)

[@MatthewPazzol]

The ending of this song is responsible for a few holes in my wall 🙃

[@colinjames7569]

It’s a great song. I wish they did a remake. Oh wait I have internet 😁

You definitely have to give yourself a gift. Listen to Ten Thousand Days. On camera or not, it will be a gift for yourself! Tissues handy is a good call.🌿🌸

"It still feels tool to me", immediately has a toolgasm. Lol.

TOOL pays homage but makes it their own. ✌️

[@alessandroperego19]

If you allow TOOL to touch your soul, it will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible.....check some of their last album ..... to me ..the golden trinity of the last is fear inoculum ,pneuma and invincible in a row..... also 7empest and descending also bfffff too much !! ...they go beyond... also ..have to say ..looking your reaction is like looking in a mirror.... ahahhhaahahah !!! keep going !!!

[@RedNightmare757]

At the intro it almost sounded like primus more than Tool

[@OSCURO333]

React to MGLA with the song Age of Excuse II 🖤

[@corepuncher]

I'll answer: Tool. But both are great.

I prefer this cover to the original, but at the same time, i think i like the O'keefe kids covering 46&2 better than Tool's version

[@anthonylewandowski6410]

Please listen to sleep token next! As a Tool fan for 25 years, I think they are the next once in a generation band. Tool is amazing but I think Sleep Token is on an equal level to Tool. The drums are great, the singer is perfect, the lyrics are poetry and the guitar and bass are exactly where they need to be when they begin to layer their songs. As a huge Tool fan, I have to say, this Sleep Token band is on its way to greatness.

[@REACTSBYBRIGHT2]

Great reaction friend, would you be down for a collaboration?

[@rafanj824]

This cover feels like it's the original for me. LZ's original is very good but feels smaller, "incomplete". Tool took the song for themselves.

[@fromhighestbelltower]

If you love Charli XCX but want to that type of music but more close to Tool vibe I highly rec' you check out artist Maruv!

This is between a cover or tribute...that's the debate...
