@@banjoTHEgreat it's kinda similar? IDK that might be a stretch. Like saying the Grateful Dead and Slayer are alike because they're both rock. I do bet Weird Al was influencial though.
This is nothing like Weird Al. He sang different lyrics to the original beat. This is a cover over an instrumental in the style of the instrumental. Not a parody. Get learned.
@@aopenhandchop6967 Oh my god to all you idiots replying to this thread 2 years later, Weird Al absolutely does style parodies you just apparently don't recognize them as such.
Best Christmas gift a dad can ask for. Played this for my son who loves Tool (as do I), and loathes Mariah Carey(also, as do I). The look on his face when he realized that not only was it a holiday parody, but a parody of his least favorite holiday song, truly priceless!
This.... this is unreal. You changed exactly zero words, and this holiday song is now SO disturbing. It's actually creepy. Bravo, good sir. Merry Christmas to you and family. You've given us all great gifts this year! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
Im so impressed I checked out more of your stuff and sharing/tagging like mad. Have Aerials playing on my TV right now and you're wearing a freakin Charizard T! I hope you go viral! I may finally subscribe yo a TH-cam station for the first time in my life. LOL
Found this thanks to Reddit, but I like your style enough that I'm going to browse through the rest of the content on your channel. This is great! And Merry Christmas Edit: Yeah, your channel is great +1 Subcriber
12/26/20:02:11 and theres 71 assholes that thumbed this video down hahaha....This is surprisingly good...like too good. Keep on doing what ya do cause I never thought these would mash and you killed it man.... Like absolutely killed it
This needs more views. I have no idea how someone would arrive at the concept, but it works, and the dude sounds enough like Maynard, which is icing on the cake.
The brilliance of this is that it turns a stupid novelty love song into something darker, and renders the lyrics almost obsessive in tone (it would be even more so if you were to add in the “I want what I want” bit from the end of Sober).
This is really good, but not my type of music. Too somber. Heavy metal actually brings me down. and I'm down enough. Excellent video work and musicianship.
I was going to be so pissed if you didn't for the Maynard high growls, but holy hell that was awesome! I've sent that to like 15 people already. Merry fing Xmas.
I'm having a tough year, and I've really been dreading Christmas. Then today I remembered this song that i found last Christmas and it made me so happy. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
This is obnoxiously well done.
Yes its earnestness makes it work
Yes
This comment is perfect.
Stealing this comment for... Things.
oh my god. i NEED to hear the inverse of this. Tool lyrics over Mariah Carey instrumentals. I'm dying laughing at the thought of it
"Jesus, won't you fucking whistle" is instant christmas feeling!
@@fleecefoxes6471 all those holes in him ? A good breeze and he definitely whistled.
@@ezbakeoven4667 They used him as a flute back then
That’s what I thought this was at first I thought it was ingenious
I'd pay for Maynard to sing this with sober over that.
Somewhere, Weird Al just shed a tear thinking about how far the artform he championed has come
But this isn't what Weird Al did?

Weird Al wrote parodies, this is a mashup.

Well this is now the only Christmas song acceptable in my house.
Dude. Dude. The level of skill and creativity is insane. Keep it up man! Sub count is gonna rocket.
Just got one from me
Maynard nods an approving nod.
It would be better if he sang All Star, good idea, unique, I think...
Just absolutely blasting this
What're you doing here Betty?!
@@kazyman92 qq
It has the Hoax Hotel cosign. I am all in.
It is literally all I can do to NOT spend five hours sequencing to put this in my Christmas light show right fucking now.
Now is not the time for restraint
Are you silly? Send it!
@@NoxDineen I have some good news for you. :) Just have to get a decent video.
@@84westy55 lets go
@@84westy55 went to your page to see if the video was up went and found the Knights clip! Go Knights Go!!
This is the greatest thing that's ever existed.
You are spot on
Tool mashups are hilarious
@@peptobismol2921 I believe you meant to say that (at least *this*) Tool Mashup is E P I C!!!
Absolutely digging this. So good

Not even a parody. A dark reinterpretation. Thanks for your comment. I just found this via Imgur.
This is like The Kramer Painting....its beautiful and I cant stand it
Genuinely great work. Im surprised by how well those songs fit together, but man did you nail it.
Well, the songs fit, we just watched them fall together.
Hahaha brilliant!!!
Edit: What the heck. This is actually a really solid cover in general. Makes it even funnier.
Somebody get Maynard James Keenan to cut this guy a check and a production credit so we can have ourselves a kick-ass holiday album.
Now, we just need to get department stores to play this on loop instead.
Kid: _Mom_ I want this Tool album.
Mom: Maybe for Christmas.
Christmas 2020:

"All I want for Xmas is Sober".
I heard 9% of people listen and enjoy chrtistmas music year round. I couln't believe it, but this rework makes me a believer.
This is awesome!!! I need music like this in my swamp! Do Invincible by Tool next!!!
One of my favorite songs covered like this by a single guy. You fucking rock!!!!
0:43 I love how in both versions of this song, the word “upon” exists in that exact same place (There upon the fireplace; Whom upon the finger rests)
I'm full from christmas dinner, slightly drunk, and absolutely blasting this in my house.
WHY is this channel not bigger? Everyone needs to know about this guy.
His first video was a week ago
@@kylebinning46 Oh wow. Well I hope he gets more recognition still.
@@kylebinning46 I've actually been posting videos for like 7 years on this channel!
@@AaronGageMusic Well then I'm stoked you're getting the recognition you deserve finally! Merry Christmas :)
Unironicarilly singing slong a Christmas song now. Nice job dude.
The last 30 seconds were a gift
How does your genius mind combine these things together lol
Lots of 90 Day Fiancé
Found this thanks to Reddit, but I like your style enough that I'm going to browse through the rest of the content on your channel. This is great! And Merry Christmas

The earrings really add that little something...*chef's kiss*
This man is too dangerous. Sweet jesus.
I heard Mariah Carey made a horrible cover of this.
This was really well done sir.
The instrumentation and vocals were on point! Merry Christmas!
Anybody have the reverse of this? (Lyrics to Sober to the tune of "All I want for Christmas is you.")

Brilliance defined. Yankovian Calibre mash-up
This needs more views. I have no idea how someone would arrive at the concept, but it works, and the dude sounds enough like Maynard, which is icing on the cake.
So good that I'm surprised you didn't get DMCA'd lol
who are the 21 jackwagons that give this a "thumbs down"
Tool fans, probably.
As a tool fan, nope, not that
They were all Mariah
Huge fan of heavy rock and mashups. Christmas themed or no, I'm on board with this guy going forward. Talent at its best.
This man is a national treasure, protect him at all cost
You deserve a firm handshake. With eye contact.
The backup singers near the end had me laughing out loud. Well played sir!
[Gen X dads liked that]
Your voice is spot on man, genuinely hope tool see this.
This was fucking awesome! A System of a Down Christmas style would be great to hear with your vocals.
Covering Tool and Mariah Carey at the same time. Never thought I would say that out loud.
Ok. I don’t like the song all I want for Christmas but this? You have elevated it to a whole new level. This is amazing
I can't express how much I love this! Merry Christmas!
and fucking SUBSCRIBED
This is THE best Christmas present TH-cam could have given us. Somebody, float this to Maynard and Co. stat!
Never knew I liked Christmas music until now.
Sending this to absolutely everyone
Y’all that’s my chorus teacher 😭😭😭
Loving that this is now on my feed
This dude is insanely talented.
take me now you brilliant beautiful man.
What type of electric drum set do you use?
I like that he had to play all the instruments just to sell the joke. Because using a karaoke track would have looked ridiculous
Ya want it done right, ya gotta commit
Finding your channel has been my favorite Christmas gift this year. This is fucking great!
This is a pleasure and a delight.
I'm getting an early comment in before this hits 1 million views.
The brilliance of this is that it turns a stupid novelty love song into something darker, and renders the lyrics almost obsessive in tone (it would be even more so if you were to add in the “I want what I want” bit from the end of Sober).
The Perfect Drug/Shake It Off mashup is no longer alone in its class of perfection.
This is absolutely brilliant. The idea and the execution.
This is the only version of this song I will ever enjoy.
This is the only version of these songs I will ever enjoy.
i think i need to put this on at a karaoke bar next december
Combine My Favorite Band With The Holiday I Hate The Most!
Brilliant
Well Done Sir.
Best Christmas ever, thanks dude
What hath this fellow human wrought?
I cannot turn my ear away.
This is the only Christmas Album I've ever wanted. MOAR!!!!
This is really good, but not my type of music. Too somber. Heavy metal actually brings me down. and I'm down enough. Excellent video work and musicianship.
How the fuck is one man every member of Tool? His power level...it's...it's over 9000!!!!?
You are ridiculous and I love it. I'm gonna play this at work and horrify my coworker who loves Christmas. She's already chittering about it.
This is frigging amazing
This year, can you please do the reverse of this
I f*ck1ng hate that song with a passion. HOWEVER, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!
So so awesome! This needs to be played on the radio every year!
I was going to be so pissed if you didn't for the Maynard high growls, but holy hell that was awesome! I've sent that to like 15 people already. Merry fing Xmas.

Dude you have some serious pipes on you man. You have all the potential to go huge.
This is way better than it has any right to be.
Somehow, All I Want for Christmas is You hits a little bit different this year
Only acceptable version of All I Want For Christmas Is You, kuddos for the work!
How did I NOT know this existed until now?!? THIS IS AMAZABALLS!
many years ago a mate said AIWFCIY was a stalker/creeper song.... now I understand why
Dude, you are so talented. Best Christmas song ever.
Hi Aaron , what pedal , amp , effect do you use on your bass to nail that Paul D amour clancky tone? Regards from France.
I wish I could play this at work. Because I'm not making it to Christmas at this overplay rate
Came here from JimmyR Internet aggregator, fantastic version of MC. Very talented.
i shared this with multiple people. meaning no disrespect, my only quibble is that you should have kept the “i want what i want”
This is like if a 10 year old wrote the lyrics to Sober. It's fucking amazing.
This is kinda cringeworthy and good at the same time? Maybe I've had too much Christmas Ale.
I hate everything about Christmas.... except for this song.
Would definately enjoy a Tool Christmas Album just to have some good shit to listen to over the holidays xD
And here i was, thinking i was clever singing 'green eggs and ham' to Marilyn Manson's '1996'
Shut up and take my money! 😂 but seriously I would spend money to blast this every Xmas
You best believe I straight slammed the subscribe button. Solid taste was evident by the choice of earrings.
How many takes did you have to do because you were dying of laughter? This cracks me up
