Unlike the rest of Salival it and Maynard's Dick isn't live. Tool and Zep are the most amazing bands ever. And the fact that they like each other and respect each other's musical abilities adds to the fact that these musicians rule the rock genre. Marvelous song, both versions. Amazing feeling | Reviewer: Anand | 3/31/10 Great haunted feelin that this song gives!I get goosebumps when i listen to this. Great riffs n synth. Needless to say, Plant's voice!The haunting texture is amazing it rivets u in place!!! The meaning i dont know much about, i only know dat it refers to the take no prisoners stubborn attitude of army.Fantastic song anyway.I could listen to it 20 times in a row and still be spell bound by the sound.....awesome piece of art... i love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/22/10 when i listen to this song i imagine riding a black horse with armor and and a dark cloack over it through the snow. i can even start to imagine the way the cold hurts your lungs. but then i open my eyes and im sitting on a couch in a smokey basement Great | Reviewer: dom | 1/14/10 It's so great to see that we are here talking about this song wich was wrote long ago. The lyrics are still meaningful. But more than that, they're just a reflection of something that was without being precise. Wich makes it lives on through the ages. This song rocks so much. I can listen it on and on again stoned in my basement.Peace Food for Thought | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/15/09 Many bands of this era where under intense scrutiny from the CIA because of their opposition to the VIetNam War. Most Bands of this generation played the war, lyrically anyway, very straight forward. And those bands got harassed by the government for doing so. Zep protested too but was a notch above everybody else and took a much more sophisticated approach with their lyrics and Page's use of mythology under scores this idea and allowed him to write freely without government interference. . Although they were watched by the CIA, the gov't couldn't directly interfere much with the touring of Zep because their songs didn't provoke the outrage that the Doors, CSN and Jackson Brownes did just to name a few. Many of the Doors concerts were shut down by the CIA/FEDS because of the protests that followed the shows. These band were in the face of the Government all the time with their lyrics and got crap from the CIA for doing it. Zep was just as involved with the protests as everyone else ... but Zep was so talented, almost too much for their own good as they brought the War protest up to a higher, more sophisticated. try listening to their music with this in mind and see how Zep matches up with the War that they were living through... No Quater, LotR? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/09 Lord of the Rings....? I know they used material from LotR books before they became movies. When I listen to the song, No Quarter, it reminds me of the part in the LotR movie when they traveled the unused passage through the mountains.... snow fall, a path no one goes.... no quarter....step by step.... carry a message... for me and you... evil verse good...extra. r u serious | Reviewer: jon klein | 10/3/09 tool is one of the best bands of our time, ppl say they are the led zeppelin of our time and u guys wanna talk shit on tool r u serious...tool made an excellent cover to "no quarter" but they didnt even copy the lyrics they made their own version so all these ppl talkin shit on tool can get fucked y dont u go buy a couple tool cds and listen to them actually and stop talkin shit about band u have no idea the first thing about them or their music Tool? | Reviewer: Johnny | 9/1/09 dude, Tool may not be as good as Led Zeppelin but the way I see it, they make theyre music mean something real. They give us options in how to live our life. their song "Lateralus" is the best example. i dont hear anyone else making songs as intricate and meaningful as this. This did not make any relations to "No Quarter" but i just thought it should be heard. noquarter-no hope-no future | Reviewer: P Barclay | 6/2/09 I see this as amalgamous with the epic Beowulf, The 13th Warrior story,or the Gothic tale of Berik. It's about strife and especially about strife caused by conflict. I envision a Scandinavian mother soothing her daughter who awaits word of or the return of a beloved peer escaping a siege to bring news of their burg's perilous state to a neighboring lord. To hold no quarter means that they have no welcome or expectation of shelter enroute,at their destination or especially if they are captured. The lyrics have another message as most LZ songs do. It tells me of the immense courage that people have to have had in the days before the modern era. In an age before electronics or even couriers a community's survival may have depended upon a patrol or single person to get a message through for help. In a provincial or citystate dominion all neighbors may have been hostile. So even the outcome of a successful mission could be in doubt. The messenger[s] would have to be a diplomat or bearer of gratuitous gifts[bribes]. It is logical that such desperation would have the impetus for many alliances, exchange of lands or arrainged marriages. Likely a suitor or impromptu bride and escort would have been such a messenger. An army in siege should have all roads, footpaths and even game trails scouted, patrolled or guarded so the messenger[s] would have to resort to a mountain route where 'no one goes'. Many a Grendel or countless other denizens of those lands might make a meal of the messenger[s]. In the land of ice and snow exposure is as much a hazard as any. Maybe the funkadelic guitar solo is portraying the warped mind of someone suffering from hypothermia. Then again maybe it was Page's use of Psychtropics. Either way it's a trippin tune. This song is about lost hopes also. The messengers have little or no hope to deliver the message, to return or to contact those they left behind who may already be lost. Those they left have no hope for relief or reunion. my take | Reviewer: anon. | 5/31/09 plain and simple...this song is about the viking invasions on the british isles in the late dark ages. although there are one or two similarities between this song and the works of tolkien, if one studies the history of britain in this period, the meaning of this song will become clear. this is not the only song by led zep that reffers to the quests of the viking, take immigrant song for example. it explains the preparation of the natives of britain against the invading vikings and the conditions they had to face. another amazing song by led zep that has gone unnoticed by many people.
