I agree, Led Zeppelin is amazing. One of the truly great bands with a song for everyone no matter what your preference. Favorites are Going to California and Black Dog.
Led Zeppelin was the band that broke me into the classic rock music scene and to this day its difficult for me to enjoy the music produced today. Todays music lacks the unique quality the bands from the 70's and 80's gave us which is why 25-30 years later we see them holding strong with the younger generations.

I don't know for sure but I think the term "no quarter" is a war time law meaning there will be POW's and everyone will be killed. So basically no quarter means taking no prisoners kill all opposing soldiers.
I am not 100% on this so don't jump on me if someone knows it is wrong. It is just something I heard.

thanks for trying but im specifically trying to workout where they were going after that, ??????

all the other songs i get, and are classics a combination of blues and jazz made heavy by j page's awesome riffery drumming gone crazy by john bonham's pysicodelic drumming and massive gong, and the voice of rob plant that took the blues of people years before them and turned it into the R.O.C.K of countless ages........

im startin to think the song is about sex, but im not sure




someone must know what drugs they were on when they wrote no quater, is it politcal?? does it carry a statement of the time???? i must know the answer?????

or did they just pull the words out of a hat, i dont think so????someone enlighten me pls...

I can confirm that the title "No Quarter" was indeed taken from the military phrase meaning "no mercy". As far as I am aware, that's pretty much the whole story. The song is just a very vague tale of some traveling fighters. Many people believe that it is about an incident from mid-evil times, because of the footage shown when they play the song in their movie "The Song Remains the Same". When Zeppelin played live, they never did any song the same way, always changing things up. They played "No Quarter" before they recorded and released it, and it was originally a very upbeat song. They noticed how cool it was when they played it really slow with very heavy keyboards, and it evolved into the song we all know and love. The song was then released and instantly became a "late in the show" staple of Zeppelin concerts. That's all I know about that song and I can't guarantee or prove any of it, but I hope it clears up something.-P

From the first time I heard this song until today, when I'm driving in my car and this song comes on the radio, the volume's getting turned WAY up.

it does help somewhat, my theory is their poms, so naturally all their songs are about wars and castles and mythology etc.. in no quarter, right at the end robert plant is singing" ou yeh ou yeh, give it to me , give it to me???, i wonder if it has a second meaning other than the war no mercy thing, like taking no prisoners on tour, as they travelled must have been a good trip for them, back then????

I love 'em all. If you look at every Zep album, and every song off of each one, there are no bad songs. If you compare thier albums against anyone else's, Zep had a higher 'quality song' ratio than anybody. They just couldn't write a bad song.
