![O'KEEFE MUSIC FOUNDATION - KIDS PLAY "46 AND 2" [REACTION!] (TOOL COVER)](/img/n.gif)
I’m guessing those drums owed that kid money because he beat the shit out of them!!!!
It's the Catalina Wine Mixer!
@Steven Halla you got money for mustaches...
I'm 31 years old, started drumming at 14 and this kid absolutely blows me out of the water. Much respect to his craft
He beat them like a rented mule.
I heard they filed charges.
3 of these kids are now professionals
My nephew is the drummer. He now is in Nashville
That's so cool, this is beautiful
That young man KILLED IT on the skins! Congrats to him for pursuing and succeeding in his chosen path!
@@TyDeRoadie Yep, almost all agree that the drummer in particular was one of the "most talented". Though it's always a bit unfair towards the others. They all are way above us :) Though the drummer really reached his physical limit at 08:44 where you can tell he has all his muscles tensed up and based on the reaction face, he noticed :)
that drum solo is not easy but that kid NAILED IT
I think he was tapping into the Danny-verse and siphoning off some of his energy. 🤓
Getting close to 26 and its a didficult drum section today! Sooo good!!!
"not easy" that's 😂 That kid had long sleeves at the beginning of and none by the end. This version is superior to Tool's original imho
Every time that I watch this video, I get nostalgic for when I was in high school. The drummer is SO into it and just NAILS it. Love it.
he reminded me of Animal from the Muppets! that little drummer was just going off!
I introduced my now 15 year old daughter to this video when it was new. It was her first listen to TOOL, and she was hooked. She sang along to this version (not a lip synch) in front of an audience of her 6th grade class along with many parents and staff, at a school talent show. She proceeded to head bang the entire outro, to great amusement and cheers of the gathered masses. It was a proud parental moment for sure.
Love this song, love TOOL, love this performance, and love your channel. Keep it up!
What a great story! :)
Proud parent? Hell yeah. ❤👍
If I was a parent at a talent show and saw a kid do tool...It doesn't matter who wins, even my own child, I'm snatching the trophy and handing it to said child who rocked our faces off.
Great story. It's awesome that the younger generation is still into real music and not the auto tune, lip synch garbage that's so popular these days. Rock on!!!
The types of electric guitars chosen for this song were all important. I think the blues guitar added its own sound to the music that only served to enrichen the entire score.What a great sound !!!
If there was a reaction video of Danny, Adam and the other guys seeing this for the first time it would be awesome to see. I bet they loved it.
Yes! I really wanna see their reactions
He basically took the words right out of my mouth. As proud as I am of these kids I can't even imagine how proud Tool is?
@@brianvigneau2074 Knowing Maynard, he would probably try to sue them.
I've probably watched this cover 100+ times and it still gets to me. Add to that the oldest is probably 16 it's just so inspiring.
I've been playing bass guitar for 30 years. And that kid walked me. They are all awesome.
Totally agree. Everyone thinks the drummer is great, and he is, but that bassist is beyond amazing. You have to be a bassist to understand that I guess.
that kid's a BEAST. No offense to you. The drummer is too. Hard to understand that Danny is over 60 and still kills it, but this gives me hope! BTW, I'm not a musician and I respect anyone who is.
All of them were great, I sing, but not sure I am good as the girl
Is it that impressive? I’ve been playing for about a year and half and I was able to learn it pretty easy. I don’t want to sound like a douche but I thought it was pretty easy. (I’m also around their age, maybe a little younger)
@@crispchaos4416 also dont want to sound like a douche but there is a lot of diference between learning the well known part (from the intro), and the whole song, playing eackh part perfectly with good timing and phrasing. I can play the intro to Aemima, (and a few other Tool and Perfect Circle tracks) but I wouldnt claim to be able to play the song in its entirety, and with any degree of accuracy in relation to timing and phrasing. If you can Play 46 and 2 in its entirety PERFECTLY (and in a band setting with other musicians so you have to keep timimg and time changes perfectly) then more power to you kiddo.
I still can't watch these kids without tearing up. Just beautiful. Was so validating to see your reaction. Thank you so much. Love you vids!
Thank you so much!!
Me too, this is easily in my top 3 favorite videos on YT. I watch it regularly.
Yep makes you proud kids can be that talented🤘🏾
@@motorpsykler I've seen almost a hundred times over the last 8 years!! Every few months I revisit it... just because it's such a moving piece. When TOOL does it, I feel empowered and tearful. When I hear this, Im just a vulnerable mess... most legendary
cover, in my book.
I also choke up every time I watch this. These kids are awesome! Some very proud parents out there..
The singer is Kala Rose and she has a band, Saving Escape. She is an amazing singer, so much passion!
Yes, she is wonderful - what a path she has in front of her!!!
And the younger guitar player is also in Saving Escape. Only learned that recently...
Maybe get a saving escape reaction? Weatherman has quickly become one of my favorites
Wow, that’s actually a great band name.
Have you seen interviews with her or with the band.? She has a very quirky and endearing personality. In fact the whole band is a bit cracked. I Love it
That moment when the singer smirks while singing.
That amount of swagger for someone so young was so inspiring and awesome. She KNOWS she's nailing it there.
This is the best Tool cover ever... prove me wrong
Nope not going to prover you wrong because you are right. I like this better than the original
Throw the O'keefe foundation some money, this is free to kids...this is rock and roll...
P.s. Danny Carey is involved in this school foundation.
TIL
That not only explains the young man behind the kit absolutely killing a technical masterpiece, but further solidifies my hopeless fanboy admiration for Danny Carey. Makes perfect sense
Source?
I’m not sure it’s this school specifically, but he is involved with a foundation of some sort. Here he is playing with a couple of kids at a dinner: th-cam.com/video/-JWdh-F1xdQ/w-d-xo.html
Think he does school of rock
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you're not human. Beautiful.
The same kids do a absolutely great cover of "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater, too.
Love that song
Yes do the DT version first if you aren't familiar, and then get your mind blown again by these kids.
I was about to comment that! :) He should do a double feature, the original first then the cover.
Yeah that's ridiculous. There's hope for the future after all.
The Dream Theater vid is actually what brought me to the Tool video, that brought me here.
De-Composer I'm 57 and I just discovered TOOL about a year ago. This band is a once in a lifetime band like Zep and Floyd. Complete package from Musicianship, vocals, lyrics, engineering and album art. You can actually hear the growth and progression from their early work to their more mature nuanced work from their last album that was released last year. Please react to every track. They are all fantastic. ✌
Never to late to become part of the fold. And I agree, their musical progression is a wonder to behold.
welcome bro, hopefully you have a chance to see them live. Also totally agree you can hear their evolution, I do kind of feel they kind of plateaued around 10,000 days, personally. But I love all their music still.
I'm 46 and in the summer of 1993 I had just graduated high school and they played Ozzfest early in the day on the second stage and by the time the first song was over I had taken a sharpie and written TOOL in big letters on my arm so I wouldn't forget after what was sure to be a day in the pit.
About to turn 55 here and I also just discovered Tool recently. So glad I did...
I'm 54... might have missed out completely but in 2004 was driving a neighbor kid to work everyday and he turned me on to Tool (and Incubus). Sooooo glad he did.
I have seen this so many times now. It just makes me happy seeing kids playing music like this.
I watch it about once a year to refresh my soul
Same.
it's okay to tear up, right?
Yep, it was beautiful.
Since you enjoy looking at different arrangements of songs, take a look at Brass Against. They have done many covers of Tool songs with brass instruments.
So totally second this. Such metal!
And both Sophia Urista, who is a beast, also with RatM tracks, and Samuel Hope give amazing vocal performances with their Tool track renditions.
Agreed I found brass against about a Month ago. Great tool and Rage against the machine covers
This. Double this.
GAH! I haven't kept up with them and didn't realize they'd done more that Bombtrack and Killing in the Name of. Fascinating energy with all that brass behind it!!
12 yr. old drummer.... holy crap.
EVERY HIT was perfection.
Ah, yes, I did an O'Keefe binge a while ago. Fantastically inspiring stuff, while not overly fixed and polished. In one of the videos the drummer actually drops a stick at one point, but manages to keep the beat while picking it up, and they kept it in the video.
Yeah, that for the "No More Tears" cover. Dropped it twice actually. 😀
There is hope for the future of humanity. Little dude on the drums was rockin out
Little Octopus!
The kid in the drum's is a beast!
That drummer is in beast mode!
@@banerunner You can tell the base player is REALLY into the song too. SO GOOD!
He also did the drums on some of O´Keefe´s covers of "The Pot", a few years later, and OMG....
Highly recommend watching all 5 different arrangements, btw., they are very different, and all of them are very good.
Same. I tear up and get “chicken skin” every time I watch this for years now as I see my daughters in the singer. That and the passion of them all you spoke about. There’s a ton these great kids cover but check out their Iron Maiden covers of “Number of the Beast” (this drummer) and “Longest Day” with same singer and guitarist. GREAT.
The Lead singer is now 18-19, she has done her final video with O’Keefe, and she slays the vocals, in fact all the kids kill it. It’s a cover of “Crazy Horse” by Black Label Society. She has definitely gotten even better over the years
Absolutely worth checking out: th-cam.com/video/oYEXeW94z5A/w-d-xo.html
Yep, I'd say their cover is better than the BLS performance of it.
Check out her band Saving Escape.
Her voice is killer!
I guess she could become a star if she found a proper management
I'd love to see her re-do 46 and 2 now with much more power and training under her belt. Add a bit of anger.
She's such a powerhouse. That was her last song with O'Keefe and they gave her a helluva send-off. Love how they had all the other kids in the foundation there in the crowd.
Watching this made me tear up. Watching a pure innocent un-corrupted love of music is extremely heart warming.
There’s a kids cover Schism and it’s really good. Different school though-School of Rock. It’s super impressive to see what these kids can do!!
O'Keefe's also does Schism they have a video for it.
I also very much appreciate this rendition of Lateralus by School of Rock students: th-cam.com/video/W4aS7ZZwgrg/w-d-xo.html
@@grungegrumpy3585 I'm going to go watch that again. O'Keefe school also has some Pantera covers that are pretty good.
That drummer.. I hope to see him a big star one day. They all have so much talent, but those DRUMS!
Hey everyone, here’s an interesting story for all the Tool fans, since this bit of Tool history seems relatively unknown:
Back in 2001, I went and saw Tool live @ (then) Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ. Tricky was the opener, and after him and his band left the stage, the roadies started setting up what everyone assumed was Tool’s gear. It only took a few minutes for us to realize they were setting up way too many drums (even for Danny...). What it ended up being was the Gilbert High School drumline, who came out and performed a percussion medley of Tool songs (Eulogy and 46+2 are the only two I remember for sure...). It turns out that Adam’s nephew was the captain of the drumline. I wish there was footage of it... but I’ve never seen any. It was a real awesome thing to experience, and I’m super grateful that I got to witness it.
Hey man...I was at that show too! An amazing concert experience that I constantly share.
Wow! Wish someone had footage
Whoa!! I'd LOVE to see footage of that.
I went to the 2001 tour in Nashville, Tricky opened and the crowd booed him. Tricky was fantastic, especially Bury the Evidence. Maynard came out on stage and scolded the crowd letting them know that he was honored to be on the same stage as Tricky.
I saw that indoor drum line show live at Gilbert High at an indoor drum-line competition. It blew my mind! Not only did they play incredibly well, they also marched. Truly the coolest indoor show I’ve ever seen!
Your green turtle is staring into my soul. It's a little disturbing.
LMFAO!!! I didn't see it till I read your comment 🤣
Which one. The startled one or high one?
Damn it now it's staring at me too...
all hail hypnotoad.... i mean hypnohonu
I've never seen a turtle so baked
I know a couple of the guys who teach kids for the O'Keefe music foundation. They are awesome and everyone involved in this project is very talented and amazing. The vocalist on this is so good, I actually imagine her singing when I listen to any version of this song. Don't tell Maynard.
I want to show some love for the bassist. He has some real talent. Don't know his name. But Kala on Vox and Curtis on drums have a huge future ahead of them. And the rest of the musicians on this can take a bow too. First saw this video a couple of years ago and I go back every few weeks to watch it again. I love it
Totally! The drummer and bassist were perfectly locked and there were moments you could see the bassist looking both to the drummer and to Kala in the booth (she holds up her hands as if she's counting down to when her part comes in). Total flow.
His name is AJ Allen and you can just feel his energy through the screen. Eli Dykstra, one of their guitarist now, has that same energy.
@@timothyjohnsey Thank You Tim!
I have listened this so many times. They are absolutely inspiring. Kala is amazing but hats off have to go for the drummer guy. He's sooo good.
That's Kala Rose on lead vocals. She's 19 now, and has her own band , Saving Escape. Awesome, talented kids! So good to see that the torch for rock music is being passed on!
I found this video a few years back and I was beyond amazed at these kids!!, It made me step back and re-discover TOOL all over again.....DE-composed, I am a 62 year old female that will rock until I die. I love what you do and have learned so much here. Thank you!
Sir, you could build a whole career on reaction videos on O'Keefe kids playing hard rock and metal cover songs. I know, I've binged there myself years ago. It's endless, believe me.
I love it that you reacted to this! This video is 7yrs old and most of the kids are adults now. If you want to see a recent video with the same singer, Kala, check out their cover of Crazy Horse by Black Label Society. It was posted 10 months ago 🤘😊🤘
I was looking to see if anyone said anything about her last video with O'keefe
very good video. Kala rocks!
She kills it on vocals but the drummer steals the show. What a monster
Everyone loves the drums, but my gosh, the girl sings sooooo great. I love how she sings 🙂
Her name is Macy Addis. Her name on TH-cam is the same
@@snelson5871 WHAT!???
@@geoffreycat1763 check her out. She has plenty of content.
@@snelson5871 According to the video, her name is Kala Rose.
@@petebaker8864 one or the other may be a stage name because I watch her new content. It's mostly just her singing with an acoustic guitar
That singer went on to have a rock band and a three piece folk rock band she's a great vocalist. She was 12 and that was 2012. Her rock band Saving Escape has I believe 2 or 3 albums out or cds what ever.
A couple kids play one song and can drastically alter your entire day, week or life.
its a great program they have there. im a sax player/teacher and everyone ive shown this to responds to vocalist kala rose. to me its the drummer who is the star of the show, operating at a genuine professional level. there is a great deal of talent among all the band members.
maybe its deep in the comments but i am surprised its not mentioned that these kids are the 46 and 2 chromosomes generation Maynard sings about
Seen this video back in '13 and since then, I wish these kids are still playing music. Amazing work from the youngsters! If someone thinks it's easy to play this song, then he/she's been fooled ...big time.... I'm trying to be a humble bass player and the way this kid in this recording, nailed Chancellor's line (big time!) makes me feel great!!
So glad you reacted to this! This cover makes me equally emotional. I know it’s probably blasphemy, but I actually like this cover better than the original. Simply because of the extra instrumentation and the girl’s voice is amazing!
You need to react to Tool's cover of No Quarter. That's another essential piece.
Seriously for an old head it's mind blowing. Makes your realize that Tool even has something to say about the old style and it's powerful.
I'm well out of practice, but I was a drummer once upon a time. The kid on the set absolutely looks like what a drummer looks like at that age. He's got the personality and the energy I've seen in every young drummer.
I have to admit, after years of listening to this, I prefer this arrangement to the original. *shrugs*
Kala's voice is just haunting here.
Hard pass,
I've watched this cover easily 100 times, they are SO damn good. Thanks for this reaction!
You definitely need too react to them perform "Dream theater: pull me under"
i was truly amazed when i saw these kids performing Tool for the first time ...would love to see them doing "Rosetta Stoned" though 😀!!!
Where's this guy been? This video is at least 6 yrs old.
This song was amazing back when it hit with Tool, this cover is so badass. I downloaded this cover from iTunes and it lives in many playlist alongside tool
Oh my gosh!😍
By 1:46 I had a lump in my throat & tears welling up in my eyes.💗😭💗😭💗
That drummer killed me. And, the vocalist?... Come on!
This was amazing!💜!
I'm a grandma in a family of musicians.
My son is teaching all the kids. We've got a drummer, a bassist & a guitarist. Actually, one that's outstandingly talented & can play nearly any instrument. Especially the uke.😉 They're all young teens. Not at the level of these kids. But, I hope they maintain their musical passion.💗
This was a stunning performance!
Thank you to whomever suggested it.
And, tyfs!💙💙💙
Edit: I'm subscribing.😁
I knew it! I knew you were a dad! That "de-composer" joke is such a dad joke!
God damn these kids are great, they are absolutely amazing! The drummer, he's so invested! Good Lord bless these kids.
"This is what music is all about". Amen, you said all.
Tool sued these kids for copyright...Just kidding. They gave every one of them scholarships for music school.
All the young people I've seen from O'keefe Music Foundation are incredibly talented and I feel privileged to have seen them perform!
There's many other amazing kid and teen performances on OMF's YT channel to explore, and be amazed by (including an OMF cover of Lateralus).
I've watched this video 30 times or so over the years, and every time i watch it i am on the verge of tears. There is something different about watching the kids do it and the original band, something pure that i can't really put my finger on. I have mad respect for the O'keefe music foundation, and it is the only foundation i have ever made a Donation to in hopes that they keep doing what they are doing.
...never got into Slip Knot, Pantera, Ozzy, etc. But this gang Is. Sang in choir but I never learned enough to understand or truly get music. But I have ears and I can sense talent. Years ago I stumbled across the O'keefe Music Foundation. What caught my eye was this title "12 Kids Cover Meatloaf" O'Keefe Music Foundation I thought ...we will see about that. I have been listening ever since. Two other songs worth mentioning "Burn" (should know by whom but I don't) and "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blond. You have confirmed my original impression of band members forming a uniquely talented group of young people. They come and go and I never get to see the glue, the person, or persons that keeps the foundation moving. Who is O'Keefe ?...
They're amazing, they do other Tool covers aswell that you will be mind blown over.
All of those children are extremely talented. They have done many fantastic covers. I think my favorite cover by them is, Ghost Of The Navigator by Iron Maiden. The kid on vocals just nails it, especially considering his age. It does end with a little bonus arrangement of, Fear Of The Dark.
th-cam.com/video/cFL6Cjsi1gI/w-d-xo.html (Ghost of the Navigator)
Another one well worth checking out is their cover of, No More Tears by Ozzy. This one leads me to think they are in fact, one take covers. You will see some familiar faces from the 46 & 2 cover, just playing different instruments. The kid behind the drum kit (plays Calves in 46 & 2), does lose a stick but, he gets right back into it like a pro!
th-cam.com/video/KXkkS4HBJ6o/w-d-xo.html (No More Tears)
I'll never forget this performance as long as I live.🙏❤️
Really like your reactions but watching you bite your nails just drives me crazy🤣🤙
I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this version and I'm always so impressed by it.
Okay, I just watched O’Keefe Foundation do Korn Freak on a Leash with an 8 year old girl singing…and I thought of you Geebz!! You have to watch that one as well!! Either on your own or as a reaction. But knowing your connection with the kids and music, I know you’re going to love it!!
They also do a fantastic cover of Iron Maidens The Longest Day. I've never heard so much emotion come through a young singer like that
The Longest Day cover by this group is easily my all time favorite tune from OMF.. and I've enjoyed every one of their videos....many over a dozen times! ..Also.. look up "Chain of Fools" (2011).. Kayla Rose has the most important quality required for success....TRUE PASSION...
Longest day is my favorite of hers. She's so versatile. I do enjoy her singing Cosmic Love when she was really young.
2 guitars to cover Adam and 4 percussionists to cover Danny. Not bad.
The exuberance of the drummer gets me every time I see this.
If you never watched her do Crazy Horse as her last song with OMF check it out sir. But then there's the other song she did around this age. Dream Theater - Pull Me Under.
O'Keefe is a music teacher in the US, he set up OMF as a charity for kids who have a budding talent, and he helps nurture them. The singer has done a few other OMF songs, her progress over the years was astounding. Hope she gets signed so i can see her live now she's probably around 19/20 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Her band is Saving Escape
They do two Iron Maiden covers that are amazing. Number of the Beast and Longest day (she does the vocals)
There are a long list of kids performances by O’Keefe.
Disagree about this vocalist. Her voice is too thin in a majority of the parts, and she has no sense of the timing of the song, often dragging out the lyrics and delivering them behind the time. The rest of it is sublime. That drummer. Dear Lord. Fantastic all around.
She had that "stank face" thing going on! Lets face it, stank face is unavoidable....
Watch the kids cover Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Ah, this covers a gem nice to come back to it again.
Please please please, I hope you seriously consider (and yes I know this is a bit of an ask) reacting to a perfect circle’s “Judith” and then Tool’s wings for Marie part 1 & 2. All 3 relate to Maynards mother but the contrast is what you’ll notice starkly
Yo these kids are killing this song!!! Nothing else to say
She is still singing, look up her band Saving Escape with Kala Rose
This one is great...but the one they do of Schism is next level.
Lol, the singer is so good but young, I’m like “do you know what you’re singing?!” Good on her
I cried every time I listened to this cover. Every kid here is extraordinary, but the stand-outs to me were the singer and the drummer, my good ever-loving gods, they were so insanely passionate! Yeah, this is just awe-inspiring.
D
I’ve come back like ten times for your reaction.
Just had to say that your reaction here just brought me pure joy. Thank you! Btw, I teared up too. 😭😅
Wow, thank you
So did I. These little guys literally made my “faith in humanity” meter jump up a few notches when I saw this.
Wow! Those kids just destroyed that song. The drummer killed it!
Dude, you nailed everything I feel about this performance. I've watched this several times over the years and it continues to blow me away every time I see it!! The video is already over 7 years old, so most of these kids are adults now. I wonder what each one ended up doing?
The vocalist sings lead in the band Saving Escape
@@scuttlebuttin13 She was incredible then, I can only imagine what she sounds like now! Well, I know what I'll be checking out later! lol Thanks!
Had to take a peek.. here's the vocalist about 10 months ago.
Surprise.. All grown up.
My how time flies!!
th-cam.com/video/c-ijw9zZX7A/w-d-xo.html
Probably my favorite Tool song, and I love Tool, but adding in the piano and percussion section, female voice, and Duel guitarists, and the bad ass bassist...This is better than Tool's version. Love you, Tool, but these kids nailed it. Love your reactions, Decomposer 😀
1:56 - I get the chills when I hear them play this song as well.
That drummer is my spirit animal.... Except he's an actual badass, and I'm just an imposter.
normal people: 48
me, a literal god: 46 and 2
Kat on the BASS....FUCKING KILLING IT!!!!!
Do Iron Maiden...eventually
I agree these kids are fantastic!!! cheers to the arron O'keefe foundation. Please check out more of these videos I recomend sober by tool covered by these kids also No more tears Ozzy.
Please react to System of a down - Chop Suey
You should check out
1. Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
2. The O'Keefe kids covering it
I guess I'll ask for the 27 th time.. 'THE GRUDGE"
Patience brother. I'm sure he will get around to it.
The bass player and the drummer really stand out to me...but all of them did a great job!!
