I would believe that it were something to do with tolkien, but the Zeus reference is obvious Norse mythology, also the fact that it is in a snowy setting. (never read a tolkien book based entirely on a snowy environment) i know the secret message... i know ... the message.. | Reviewer: aimee | 7/2/08 This song obviously portrays the lost souls of evermore. they are trapped beings within their tortured state of mind. It was then tranversed into lyrical matter to operate in the same way those minds were seduced. Think about it... its SO obvious. DOI DOI a religious song?? | Reviewer: Jeff | 6/27/08 The song is about the struggle and commitment of a messenger to get his message through. No matter what, even if he is faced with the devil (just like jesus was confronted with temptation during his forty days is the desert). If you actually look at the song it is about struggle and the unwillingness to compromise the conviction of the mission that the messenger was given. (by the way i am not religious at all, but just think about it) Stfu? | Reviewer: Adam S. | 6/25/08 Okay, so I've heard tons of Zep fans talk shit about Tool's cover. Tool didnt steal or screw up the song, but merely put their spin on the lyrics and feel of the music. Give em some credit. Personally, I think this song is about Vikings/barbarians ravaging the countryside. It speaks of villagers fleeing after hearing news of the bands of warriors moving towards their homes. No Quarter refers to the barbarian's way of life, not showing mercy. y american revolution | Reviewer: bob | 4/10/08 Led Zep wer english, american history isnt very upfront in the minds of an englishman mate. (being 1). Plus it seems to me that the protagonist's "friends" hold no quarter as opposed to others holding none angenst em. Anyway, the song was probs written wen they wer all wasted, so hu knows wtf it mite mean? =D GTLO | Reviewer: Troy Matthews | 4/1/08 Get the Led out's rendistion is amazing. Oh and I think that the song is about a woman in the time of the American revolution whose husband and son are at war and they are captured and shown "No Quarter" . They are hung and thats why they don't come home. Paul Hammond, and Paul Sinclair for president. And don't forget RON PAUL. AWESOME LED SONG, TOOL HAS NO BUSINESS "TRYING TO PLAY IT". | Reviewer: Rick | 3/23/08 I know it is only my "opinion" but as cover songs go. Tool is a "good" band, however, has no business doing this song. The "original" is just that and is usually the best. Rick, From Sacramento, Ca. Probably my favorite Zep Son | Reviewer: Iggy | 3/19/08 I believe it to be about not a specific war/ battle/conflict. but a random cry to all people who have faced "no quarter"(no mercy). I love the song dearly and enjoy TSRTS version. After the solo there is that AWESOME sound cued on "the dogs of doom howlin more." and Jimmy points over to the amp haha. Its just got such attitude and meaning compared to new modern music. check it out if you haven't. and the tool version is eh.... One of the best | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/20/08 i think this may be another Led Zeppelin song that borrows from Tolkien. i think it may have to do with when Aragorn and his army desperately needed to get to Gondor before it was over-run by Sauron's minions. The only way to get there fast enough was to use the Paths of the Dead. those "that wear steel that's bright and true, that carry news that must get through", could be Aragorn and his army, desperate in their attempts to reach Gondor before it was too late, who took the Paths of the Dead. Or, "the paths where no-one goes." and the dogs of doom could be the Wargs, wolves in the service of Sauron. and holding no quarter and asking no quarter in the fighting sense would be that they aren`t going to show mercy to the enemy nor ask mercy from the enemy. Orgasmic | Reviewer: Amber | 1/30/08 Tool totally fucked this song up. Led Zeppelin's verison is a MILLON times better and anyone that likes tool's version better should be shot in the head for being so stupid Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6
