Tool does a great live version of this song.

Try doing album art like this these days without lawsuits...

oh - look what's playing.....coincidence?   I think not.  It's happened too many times.  Bill is a wizard who has very strong ESP powers.

9 to 10 What WAS I thinking?

...and Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Oasis, the list goes on drugs and rock n' roll go together like boobies and nipples.

There is a rumor that some of the members of Led Zep may have experimented with drugs...judging by this song, it gives one pause.

I am an Evangelical Christian as well and if I found this CD in his stereo I would thank God that I raised a son that could appreciate true art. Since God is the Creator of beauty and art anyway.

Everyone entitled to their opinions, but that's ridiculous. Lots of bands have echoes of particular Zep songs, but nobody covers the diverse range of Zeppelin and does it that well. White Stripes are ok, but they're a novelty band compared to this...

As an evangical Christian myself I would have burned my son alive for haveing a Led Zeppelin CD b/c that would be the only way to say his soul from "the Satan".......call me crazy or old fashion but like the smell of burnt flesh!!!
TRIP OUT

Dude. You started your Odyssey early.

I saw this live in 1977.
The stage was darkened and then lit bright white with 7-8 feet of cold fog covering the stage.
It spilled over into the first rows where they could not even be seen.
Aww. What great memories. No concerts today do that wonderful craziness.

I play this song on guitar hero, so ill.

Oh yes, that's more like it!

absolutely godlike...

This is just about the only LZ song that I can listen to anymore. I listened to them a lot about 7 or 8 years ago - but most of their stuff grates on me now. This song, however, always sends shivers down my spine. I really like the live version from '73, too.

Granted Tool is a great band but they are no LZ. They simply don't have the range that Zep had. I have 4 Tool albums and I enjoy their music but about 60% of their songs sound nearly identical (The One Trick Pony syndrome). It sounds cool but they just don't have the dynamics that Zep had. I can see Tool doing something similar to Achilles Last Stand or Immigrant Song but they could never write Going To California or The Rain Song.

Tool is having a huge impact on modern music but they aren't in Zep's league. Sorry but it's true. Flame away!

A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender) of a vanquished opponent.

The term originates from an order by the commander of a victorious army that they "will not quarter (house)" captured enemy soldiers. Therefore, none can be taken prisoner and all enemy combatants must be killed

Maktub does a pretty sweet cover of this

Uh-oh--you're gonna make me do my "No Quarter" dance right here in the office! (This is as close as smileys can come to it.)

My parents became radical evangelical Christians in my youth and burned a bunch of my stuff. They destroyed this album and my copy of Slaughterhouse Five, I recall. I was really pissed. I moved out shortly thereafter. I was 17.
