Oh, blasphemy! This cover is absolutely and completely useless, if not to point out that Big Head Todd & The Monsters were/are out of creativity, I can't even play songs from others.

Yikes! :puke:

7 for BHT just for attempting to cover something completely over their heads and doing a decent job at it.


Agreed!

Come on Todd! You got a better solo in you than THAT. A little tame for BHT, but OK.

Why REPLACE? Why delete music from rotation? Why not ADD the original to the playlist?

I can definitely believe that, and I haven't even heard the original.

I'm a big fan of Zeppelin, but this has never been one of my favorites. Way to go Todd&the Monsters! They brought a more subdued groove to the song that I definitely like.

the cardinal rule of cover versions: if you can't bring anything new to it, don't do it.

and if you're going to hurt it, PLEASE don't do it. sheesh.

I love this laconic version. Makes me want to take a nap and have a tuna fish sandwich when I wake up!

I said you must be kidding because I consider this one of the finest Zeppelin songs and the way it is totally destroyed by Big head Todd without any kind of musical inspiration. Well I may be exagerating.. but I honestly believe that this cover is extremely mediocre, IMHO of course

Um, not sure much Tool gets played on this site, but my favorite Zep cover is their version of "No Quarter." Although, of course, I expect no quarter in any criticism I receive, least of all referring to me as a tool...for Tool..or otherwise.

This is a great cover--put their own spin on it without demolishing the original vibe of the song...
