Ahhh Zepplin. Could it be better? Oh, Tool covers it!?!? ❤

[@joshuajustice4171]

So true!

[@DeepOwl1073]

I kinda wish you had listened to the Zeppelin original first, so you could see the genius that Tool put on this iconic song.

[@PerseusM76]

I really like the Zep original but I absolutely love Tool's take on it. I think it's better but just my opinion.

[@Gideonite]

I love Led Zeppelin but their version is honestly trippy but pretty boring

[@marilynspaziano9000]

Cannot beat Zeppelin no matter what

Agreed. This version is awesome, but you need to understand the context first.

I was in Mesa AZ on Halloween 2015 when they came out dressed as Led Zeppelin and opened the show with this. Legendary. My wife quit her job to be at that show.

[@Luso_American]

Straight up thought the stage was gonna lift off into the atmosphere... holy shit 😳🤯

[@o0beaner]

That was an excellent show. We flew in from Dallas. First time they'd played the grudge in like nine years, too. The whole bill was good, to boot.

[@alexfrank6534]

[@lucky_lola]

Quit her job to be at that show... WORTH IT!!! 💯💯💯

[@riffgroove]

This song was originally supposed to be part of the "Ecomium" Led Zeppelin tribute album, but when the label complained about the length of the track, TOOL balked on it. "I never once listened to Zepplin or Pink Floyd tune and said 'Hey, this is a really long song, it's not radio friendly." - Adam Jones.

[@DrVegtable]

Then it was supposed to be on the Howard Stern "Private Parts" soundtrack but Adam came to the realization that soundtracks were bullshit. Stern got pissed and threw one of his patented hissy fits.

[@riffgroove]

@DrVegtable I'm of the opinion that TOOL were very smart on taking a pass on that one.

[@DrVegtable]

@@riffgroove I couldn't agree with you more. The only song to make it to a soundtrack was Sweat on the Escape from L.A. soundtrack.(1996)

[@lobotomizedjellyfish2171]

Damn, the thought of tool doing covers of Floyd songs breaks my brain. Just think of tool doing comfortably numb or mother in their own way. Sheesh...

[@DrVegtable]

@@lobotomizedjellyfish2171 Goodbye Blue Sky would translate well. It's already in an odd time signature and drop D.

[@DavidMiller-dt8mx]

This song marks a fascinating intersection - my all-time favorite band (Led Zeppelin) with my favorite current band (Tool). The original is definitely a must hear - the differences are both stark and subtle, both uniquely powerful.

[@aintnozombiecatchinmyass..4873]

Bro, same. Led Zeppelin and Tool. Picking one over the other is like choosing which of your kids to save from drowning.

[@bittersweetindustryexecutive]

@Ain't no zombie catchin' MY ass... I haven't given Led Zeppelin a fair chance up until now, apart from the big ones, so I'd pick Tool for now. Apart from that, You're a serious contender for alias of the year. Cheers!

[@jamesmeadors4636]

[@diabolicalgenious]

Exactly!!! Thank you for phrasing it so succinctly, my thoughts exactly.

[@oneoverprime1608]

Best cover ever

[@SigRho1429]

Usually, I’d say yes, but I just finished watch Zakk Wylde do the Black Sabbath cover on the Hello Kitty guitar again.

[@localhoast2009]

Whether it's original or a nod to the ones who came before them, Tool takes us somewhere and that somewhere is different for all of us. But we all take the same TOOL train there. No other band makes me aware of my own horizon. POLO all I can say is I'm so happy to see the same expression on your face that I've had for years. It says volumes about your character as well, you gave tool a chance and now you have to see them live. Thank you POLO for your time and evey single reaction

[@timhendricks8913]

Agreed!

[@cms2art]

Well said, thanks for commenting.

[@fredtello]

every tool song sounds the same that's why they have to do covers

[@valdi1523]

💯

[@Nictumeni]

Tool took this song & made it their own & John Bonham would be proud of what Danny did behind the drums,amazing cover 🤩

[@mastersoomatai2101]

This is one of my fav zeppelin song. Tool did a sick cover here.

[@taradevine6026]

Mine too.

[@johnryder2878]

Same man. Zeppelin is the Greatest ever, but Tool is a close second. "No Quarter" and "Achille's Last Stand" are my favorite (epic) songs from LZ, and Tool might be the only band to give a cover justice.

[@j.n.jacksonjr.170]

@johnryder2878.Achilles Last Stand is one of my all time favorite Zeppelin songs, so underrated!

[@arguendo11]

I wish we would've gotten a video from Polo to show his reaction when he found out it's a cover and that the original was released 50 years ago! Led Zeppelin with a Tool twist is the absolute bomb!

[@catherinereynolds9644]

ABSOLUTELY

[@corey6393]

Thanks for getting to this one. One the best covers of all time. No doubt. EDIT: Just finished watching, and I honestly have a little tear in my eye from happiness. Happiness from watching you enjoy this song so much. When you listen to this in your 4runner, you will forget where you're going.

[@tiamat29]

[@ReflectionTool637]

Tool's sound isn't for everyone, but they are critically acclaimed, so I know it is not just me ;) Been my favorite sound, by a country mile, for decades now .... Very thankful that these guys got together.

[@mikebeyen7635]

Any band that can cover a led Zeppelin song and somehow make it there own just proves the greatness of Tool.

[@susiejo143]

I actually like it more than the original, Tool never disappoints

[@aliasme-cc2qb]

I usually don’t like covers but this one is killer. So much more powerful than the original. This is one of my top 5 Tool songs. Amazing.

Blessed to have been to a Led Zeppelin Concert and Tool Concert. Best Bands ever! Every member of these two Bands are just top notch talented❤❤❤

[@SSPspaz]

My dad was a Zeppelin fan back in the day and got to see them live in the early 70s. Unfortunately I’m not old enough to have been able to see Zep live, but I did get to see JPJ play live with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme as Them Crooked Vultures. I’ve seen Tool also, but I’d love to catch them at least one more time while they’re still touring.

[@DemiseUnseen]

Music is like a movie for the blind. You don't need the, most important, sense of a Human to experience overwhelming sensory. I'm loving this journey, watching your evolution.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

And it's not just that it's a Zep cover, they covered the LIVE version of the song. Next level genius. One of the greatest covers of all time. Absolutely note-perfect.

[@karlsjunior466]

Love your reactions!!!! I love that you understand TOOL has no equal! After my first listen more than 20 years ago I stopped listening to the radio. The music didn't do it for me anymore. I had this great idea. A video of you and your friends in your car. You introduce them to new tool songs. I would watch that. Watching you enlighten your friends would make my day! Hey everyone, give a thumbs up if you want to see that!

[@aintnozombiecatchinmyass..4873]

[@coryfisher5777]

I was at the show in Arizona where Tool played this song live for the very first time. They opened their set with it and even came out on stage dressed as “Fred Zeppelin”. It was awesome.

[@ethosfm1262]

Vibrato is the musical term you're looking for. While the underlying meaning of reverb can apply, in a musical sense reverb is specifically the sound of the room or space that the piece is being performed in whereas vibrato is specifically the shifting of pitch to create a wavy effect. Oh...and that is DEFINITELY what spiraling out looks/sounds/feels like! Welcome to the Tool Army. Look after your brother, question authority, kill your television.

[@BaxterThewall]

It's not a Tool song... 😊

[@designner5151]

@@BaxterThewall definitely a tool song now. They own it now.

[@fugitive6549]

@@ddiejr No, they didn't. Same tempo, same key, very similar guitar but with some elongated parts, add ons, and some heavier drumming and guitar parts sound harder. The only substantial change is the last minute 7/8 tempo. That's mostly it. They actually stayed true to the original quite well throughout.

[@davidrunkle8696]

Yea, it’s really amazing. It’s what you get when you combine the talents of the two greatest rock bands of all time. Definitely one of my favorites as well.

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

If you ever wanted to know what happens when Tool covers one of Led Zeppelin's best songs...well, now you know.

[@tonyheupel]

Thank you for your reactions, doing your homework, and being open to this ride. Discovering TOOL and it's members, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer are some of the most powerful things that have ever happened to me and helped me through the pandemic, my unexpected divorce, and growing emotionally and spiritually. These artists have changed my life forever and I hope they do something similar for you and everyone else!

[@uksuef7218]

Tool was from the 1990's , Led Zep formed in 1968 and recorded their first two albums in 1969 . They were completely groundbreaking and influenced everything that came afterwards. The keyboard opening is John Paul Jones , the vocalist is Robert Plant, the genius on guitar is the legendary Jimmy Page (also founder and producer) and the drummer is John Bonham. No quarter means no mercy. If you are going to check them out further they had no fixed genre but performed immaculate blues , the raunchiest of rock, folk rock , funky rock, acoustic masterpeices. I think you will like Dazed and confused from the first album or whole lotta love from the second.
