| Led Zeppelin – No Quarter Lyrics

Based on everyone's feeback (and my own opinion), obviously the original song kicks ass. My question is, where's the personal connection to the band? Given the multitude of songs and titles in Led Zeppelin's cataloque, why did Plant & Page select "No Quarter" as the album title for their 1994 re-appearance? In my silly opinion, Plant experienced writer's block at a certain point during the 70's (most likely due to drug related memory loss, which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and therefore turned to his local library, whereby he stumbled upon celtic texts, and borrowed lyrical ideas for many of the songs written during that period. Though none of the band members realized it at the time--20 years later, use of the title "No Quarter", would secretly confirm the marketing-based fact that the Led Zeppelin fans will continue to finance any bogus "remastered" creativity produced decades before. Therefore, from a business perspective, the joke is on the fans, and no quarter is given in that regard. There's a reason why Page was nicknamed "Led Wallet", and coincidentally, he's produced (and re-mastered) everthing relating to Zeppelin since 1982. I'm a little drunk at the moment, and I just made that all up. However, any comments that refute the points I've made (if I've made any) shall clearly indicate that the person making such comments subscribes to bestiality-porn websites. G'nite |

This reply doesn't necessarily relate to any particular song. Generally speaking, the majority of young public audiences are always more than willing to suck the dick of non-conformist musicians. Case in point--NWA & Dr. Dre in the late 80's. From a business perspective, can anyone conend with 100% certainty, that Eminem is no more than a marketing flunkie for one who took the same approach 15 years ago? |

The abrupt instrumental rests, & start/stop syncronisms add a lot of sudden energy and punctuation to this song. As far as lyrical interpretation is concerned, there are a couple of opinions out there. For those subscribing to the theory that Led Zeppelin's strings were pulled by supernatural forces, and as suggested in "Hammer of the Gods," this song represents the point where the band stopped it's flirtations with the supernatural. Personally, I think that's BS. Considering that this was Zep's 7th album, and that Robert Plant was involved in a serious car accident before/during recording, I think it more likely suggests a conscious decision to take another path, grow-up and move away from the decadent rockstar lifestyle. Wonder if that ever happened? |
