[QUOTE=madeyadams]No, it doesn't. It's 10x more powerful than Zeppelin's.

Blind: haha that's right. I forgot I sent that to you. Well. cheers. :chug:[/QUOTE]

blasphemy!

[QUOTE=madeyadams]It is not blasphemy. For I am right, and you are teh incorrect.[/QUOTE]

Don't make me smite you.

Again, I LOVE Led Zep. But I thought that the original version of No Quarter was quite mediocre.

You are indeed teh correct.

Tool's Version >> Zep's version.

Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't agree less.

Maynard's vocals sound like crap at times in the song. The original has this aura to it that creates the mystical atmosphere. The Tool version tries to turn it into a very heavy song but it isnt supposed to be. The original has a piano solo to it! It's a mellow song that's very layered musically. There's nothing of the sorts in the Tool version.

Theres an acoustic guitar in tools, and Maynards vocals sound great in it... very cool style he used... plus I believe the tool one is longer. :D

ITT, it's all about size. :cool:

zeppelins version isn't bad. i really really like tool's version though. question though, there are two guitars in one part, does maynard play the acoustic?
tools is about 5 minutes longer. btw.

I'm assuming Adam did both, but I know nothing about that stuff.

So, I decided I'm going to do a cover of the Gaping Lotus Expirience.

:cool:

I'm recording my drum solo for the MXDP sometime within the next few days. I'm using the above thing as the basis for it. It's Ticks and Leeches influenced.

If i remember correctly it was King Buzzo of the Melvins who played a second guitar for that one

The good news: I just clicked on the link again, and it the download picked up where it left off. Lucky me.

That's funny..the way you described the original is how I would have described the Tool version. Mystical atmosphere, very Layered. And its basically mellow by Tool standards up until the end jam. No camparision between the Tool and original version. Tool wins hands down IMHO.

Patient-You somehow ZIP'd LAMC and Maynard's Dick together. It's all one song. wtf?

123, I'll admit that Led Zeppelin is an amazing band, but no quarter is probably my least favorite song of theirs in terms of performance. It sounds to me that whoever produced this track weighted Plants voice too heavily against the instruments in order to make up for his weak voice on this song. Page's solo is probably the only thing that Zeppelin did a better job on(the solo in the tool version is much much much easier, but still drives the point home just as effectively), but the song pacing sounds almost nervous, i like the way tool slowed it down just a bit.

As many of you know I have put together a band with some of the best musicians I could find. It is coincidence that we are all huge Tool fans and what I would call, "Thinkers". On the topic of Maynards voice, today I was working on some of the stuff we had worked on in practice and we had played a few Tool songs in practice to kind of warm up and get into our mindsets. I was listening to them as a co-worker walked by and he mentioned about how much he loved Tool.

So, I say, "Thats not Tool." and told him that it was the new band that I formed. He couldn't believe it. I had known that when I first auditioned this guy for my band I was forming that he was good, and at the time I couldn't believe what an amazing singer he was, and how many Maynard esque qualities he had. As I re-played the tapes and listened to the similarities I kind of shocked myself when I realized that he did sound, and more importantly, sing the Tool covers as Maynard does. It kinda freaked me out.

I am in the act of creating a web site for the new band and this thursday we are planning to spend some time and record these covers, as well as a few of the originials we have already wrote, to put them on our site. I think you will all be amazed at how much this guy sounds like Maynard.

I am sooooo excited about this. I have been putting all my effort into this project which is why I havent been on MX as much as I used to. I have one more month of working a hectic schedule and then my time will free up some and I'll be posting in here much more. I'll post up a link to the web site with the Tool covers hopefully within this week.

Awesome Ken, Can't wait.

hmm is maynard in two different bands?

Yes...well was..not sure Whats happening with "A Perfect Circle" now though. Heard it was a 3 Album contract/deal thing...then again cant believe everything you read.

I believe they fulfilled thier 3 record contract with Emotive.

Legendary. As much as I love covers, I'm anxious to hear your original material, you sound very excited about it!

I'm listening to You Lied (the cover from Salival right now)... there is two guitars in this song. It's not layered, because it's live. Buzz?

Does anyone else think You Lied is one of the best things Tool have recorded? I do, I think the bass, vocals, chorus riff and overall atmosphere create this mood that surpasses the rest of the Salival album (except maybe Merkaba). I love how Danny chooses to sit back during the song and let the guitar and bass show off.

Buzz is indeed playing 2nd guitar in this song.

And although it's a cover, it is a great, great song.

That does sound ace, however be careful of not actually sounding too much like Tool (yes there is such a thing). One of the best things about Tool is that they are so original. Try and maintain your own originality and not become Tool-clones. That is the worst possible thing any fan of theirs could do.
Other than that. Rock on my friend and have a cigar on me :smoke:

... Even Led Zeppelin fans admit that Tool's version is better. It's not that great of a song.

Meh, I think Tool's version = Zeppelin's version.

But that is just me.....
