Zep(and the dead)certainly paved the road AND set the bar for live dynamics,and I would argue tool and other bandsh ave learned from these greats and replicated and elaborated on these techniques as technology and techniques evolved. As far as distortion, Adam has HIS tone, as does Page, and any other good guitarist, he just took this great song (and influence) and added a little bit of himself in it. What musician could blame him? Tool played a tribute to a great band,and zep fans are angry.

if the mighty JP wanted to really clean up today he'd have a reality show because that's what's happening right now in this period. It's not about actual music anymore, which sucks deeply. Reality Shows! now that's the way toDAY. I think Crowley would agree

lets end this silly comparison of led zepplin and tool. firstly zepplin gets the credit for even having the creative prow less to create the song in the first place. having said that i think tool expanded on an already great concept for a song. they're both great versions so everyone just shut your mouths and open your ears.

These guys are dinosaurs now, especially Plant, living off their golden legacy. Led Zeppelin stopped being relevant after 1975 when their play deteriorated and Plant's voice became shot. It has been ever since. Rather than see Zep tour again as rich, grumpy old me, Page should release the good Zep material (any quality 1973 show would do)that he has in his vault for years. Or at least make the video or soundboard of Earl's Court 5/18/75 available.

Tools version is good...but tool doesn't really know heavy music zeppelin could play with half the amount of distortion and much softer singing and still be heavier than anything tool could hope to be, they are just the masters of sound and dynamics and no other band comes close.

jimmy page will beat the living crap out of you with his mad guitar skillz.
