I can't decide if the MVP of this video is the girl killing it on bass or my dude on drums doing a phenomenal job on half the kit Danny Carey uses. Really excellent work.
Half?? Probably a quarter! He did great with the kit he had...really surprised me. I saw that kit in the beginning and though “oh no, this is going to be bad,” but he really did great.
I was thinking the same until one specific drum part in the middle of the song where it became clear to me that the drummer just transmitted the same feeling to me with his drums as Danny Carey does. The way he uses the drums is the same as Danny. So drummer all the way.
Vanilla gorilla no offense but why is that so astounding? What makes it easier for someone your age to identify that tool is good compared to a millennial?
ploob man When you get older you’ll inevitably stop paying attention to the new shit played on the radio. You’ll be content with what you grew up with, not minding that the world will move on without your attention. Let the kids listen to what they will. Then when you see kids appreciate something that you loved it just seems awesome. It’s not taking away from your generation, just surprises me to see you all say “ wait, what’s this?”
@Jack Dratch Check out videos online of DC playing the sticking on the hi-hat in the middle bridge. It's an alternating-hand triplet sticking pattern. 🤘✊
I stumbled on this by pure accident. I was with my wife and we were both insisting that of any band and of any song, this would be an impossible cover. After looking at the comments, I see the obvious...the music is very well done. Drums, Bass and Guitar were all outstanding....however, I agree 💯%, the Vocals are so epic....for a minute I thought they were tracking in Maynard's voice. Simply unreal!
I think the vocalist tries to much to sound like Maynard James Keenan, rather then trying to put his own spin on the song, which i think is a shame as the vocalist do clearly have a good singing voice.
Serious tool fan here, and damn guys, you nailed this so hard. Sure, technically it's not a 100 percent, but tool fans are looking for more than technical prowess. They don't want a perfect copy of the original, they are looking for a cover that captures the 'elan' of the original. This did it, perfectly.
EXACTLY. Covers are a subjective interpretaion of what this song means to the specific individuals responsible for pulling it off. I think it meant a LOT to them as their interpretation is NOT "100%" accurate. It's their salute to this song. I would be dissapointed if it was an attempt at a straight "photocopy". Kudos.
#1 - The bassist - she KILLED it, never missed once. A very close #2 - the drummer - on such a minimal kit he owned it, no showing off, just pure skill. And an even closer #3 - the vocalist - made it his own because he had to and absolutely convinced me. Fantastic performance by all.
unfortunately she's not playing it completely accurate, Justin uses a lot more open strings especially in the intro bit, and slides during the interlude/verse thing
@@jarrodderr That's a fair point, they're are all relatively tight compared to their age, and in that regard they did really well I think, also bassist in particular is grooving and that's better than being 100% precise I think
Fender and tool is not in the same world...expecially bass...also u can t play it fingerstyle ...it s not aggressive tone...u need a pick..but afterall good job#
I agree!!!!! Unfortunately I don’t remember his name, but had the blessed opportunity to speak several time to a drummer that was admired by the drummers of the past
Glitch sorry. He was a drummer of the 30, 40, 50, and 60’s. But taught Neil Pert and other drummers, he told Neil “Stop being showy!!!” Did Neil listen, you know the answer.
I didn't see any props or kudos in the comments for the guys behind the sounds. the producer, the engineer or anyone in the control room. I've listened to this over and over in my noise canceling headphones and the sound is FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! SO HERE'S TO YOU SOUND GUYS!!! You deserve just as much credit and glory for the OUTSTANDING work you did in the control room. i spent 5 years in the studio with my brother in law. i know how much work it is to get the sound you want. it's an art, and engineers never get the credit they deserve! AMAZING JOB PEOPLE!!! i am just as EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with the work you did as i am with the musicians. OUTSTANDING!!!
Yeah same well at 1st I was like oh not bad n then i heard the creed voice thing so he might be able to cover them too if they remained relevant lmao cuz tool is timeless music. But that creed sound was there n I was like why dude just sing clean lol.
I was just thinking the same thing. As soon as this video begins, I counted all who were involved and that is just one more reason why Tool is an amazing band, because four super talented individuals can generate such an enormous sound. Three holy musicians and a set of divine vocals equals eight students of the craft. An ambitious video for the students. Bravo.
@@Rimpianto i feel it didnt sound like original Danny Carey playing his drums. But it did sound like what Danny Carey would do playing this "less-saturated" set of drums.
Bro singing! I never know what to expect when people cover Tool, but this guy did it justice and made it his own. Like a mix of Johnny Cash and Eddie Vedder, but with Maynard's salt. Was not expecting him to sound like that. Way to go to everyone! Hope you are all still playing music.
Every single person involved in this deserves either to be signed with a publisher where they can keep making music or for the editing/sound/production given a raise. I'm leaning on both.
This is what music is all about. Props to the bass player, you can tell she was jamming during the whole song. Drummer did a fantastic job, he was on point! Excellent cover and thank you for bringing us Tool.
Long time Tool fan (I’m 40 😂) I was completely blown away by these talented young musicians. I tend to tear apart and critique the crap out of musical talent that covers songs, especially from a band like Tool. You guys killed it! Absolutely amazing work!
Amazing job. The bass player cementing the groove during the high hat triplets was inspiring. That high hat wants to lead you away but she stayed on the path.
I wouldn't say he nails it. Rhythm and accuracy sure, but he has to open his mouth and sing lower. He's pinched and muffled I'm a way which almost gives him like an Indian accent
@@iceman5117 I think you're believing this singer is supposed to be mimicking 100% of Maynard's voice when in fact he's only mimicking 99.9 % . Knock off the non constructive criticism when in fact each person in this video nail 110% of Tool essence !
I think tool would be very impressed. They started where I live. My friend is one of the members cousin and helped them make the move to California and they arent pretentious whatsoever they're very humble and worked really hard to get to where they're at. I think they would really appreciate this and admire the kids and thier talent!!!! After all they were once right where those kids are now and can relate to the dedication and hard work it takes to get that good far more then we can!
@@grimcrow8821 I found no fault in the drumlines. The chick on bass nailed it. The vocals were so-so (because no one can replicate Maynard) By biggest gripe is the two guys playing guitars (guessing one was playing at the same tempo but slightly behind for the delay/chorus). They make effect petals for that very reason.
Whomever is the teacher of these young talented bad asses needs a handshake from the band TOOL. Plus the singer nailed it with compassion as did all the other kids!! Totally blown away with this. Just amazing!! Good job yall!!
I never comment on TH-cam videos ... However, I MUST for this one! I played this while washing dishes (not watching); I thought it was the real song! These young adults have an AMAZING talent and are very FOCUSED to succeed in their musical capabilities!
I really would like to have seen some shots of after. Like the one guitarist looked at the other tires with a smirk and then the video cut out so I’d like to see that kind of stuff like how do they feel? What do they say after the song
Amazing. You kids rock the school. What an accomplishment. Very clear with the vocals, bass player steals the show, drummer is right on, and all the guitarist, wow! Keep it up
Wow. I love how everyone’s focus is on playing their part correctly, no histrionics or showmanship. But the inability to not groove, not feed off each other’s energy, shines through as the song builds. That is true presence, what it feels like to be in the pocket so to speak. One of the best feelings in the world. Thanks gang and thanks Tool.
One of the first vocal covers that compare to Maynard in regards to pitch alone. I love the other covers the kids do but this could be mistaken for a raw tool session and that’s absolutely incredible 🤙🏻 so nice to see young generation appreciate what tool offers
This is amazing guys! I'm a forty one year old Tool fan from the UK and I admit I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Tool covers. I would normally skip right past videos like this. Especially because this is my all-time favourite Tool song ever... But, you absolutely nailed it! Stunning work. Trust me, I've listened to this song so many times over the years, it would be impossible to count. I've heard it A LOT! .....And your version was nearly spot on! I LOVED IT!!! Keep up the good work, you are truelly brilliant. (Props to the sound engineer too! Clarity, balance, everything was perfect!) I'm listening to it again now...
Alright guys and gals! You know what the difference is between real musicians and YT show-offs? Well, let me explain! 1. Your bassist seriously nailed that! Using fingerstyle APPROVED! I SLAPPED like immediately! EPICO! 2. Overall, the sounds and instruments you used give the entire thing a way more rocky and rough sound which greatly serves the song and gives it your personal touch rather than just being a copy of the original. 3. Your singer put his own style in there, in a few very well selected spots and fantastically hit the entire and challenging scope that the vocals require. 4. Your drummer especially played this track on such a minimal kit and made it sound wonderful! That is the real art. Most people would just do a complete kit overkill and miss the point completely. Keep it coming!
I cant stop watching the blonde girl on bass. She is so beautiful and talented. Mesmerizing. I could watch her play for hours. Awesome drums, awesome guitars, and maybe even better vocals than the original. What an accomplishment to play something as difficult as this. Well done guys!
I've got goosebumps during the build-up. Great work! The most fun was watching the bassist groove to a Prog song. That's some passionate action right there!
@Wesley Sledge check out JohnKew's cover of Rosetta Stoned. I think it's one of Danny's most difficult pieces. John said it took him 6 months just to learn the first half of the song.
Wow these kids all look so relaxed while effortlessly playing one of the most musically complex songs around! Awesome job. Also love the O'Keefe music kids Tool covers .
@@kylehansen7053 Still better than a lot of professionals. We can't really compare students to Maynard, that's just not fair. Aside from some intonations different from the original, it's still really impressive.
@@henryjubeda7617 You're right, I just don't think his singing style fits the overall style of the song. And they had to have two guitar players to play this song. Tool does have alot of backtracking but they still only have 4 members.
@@brettrun8575 sure I could but I think I'm allowed to voice my opinion, but I never said the dude sucked. I just said his singing style doesn't fit. They are students I get it, and I sincerely hope they go on to have aspiring careers. I have been playing for a long time so excuse me for thinking I'm allowed to be a bit critical.
I gotta give ya'll absolute props on an Excellent damn job!! The School of Rock and the O'keefe Foundation are the only groups that seem to be able to do Tool songs proper! Either the timing/beat sounds way off or the singer doesnt have a comparable voice, BUT, these teens just kicked ass and took names!!! Future Rockstars upcoming! :) keep up the awesome work.
4:30 that guitarist almost brought a tear was so powerful. The singer reminds me of Maynard in his Pucsifer persona singing a Tool song, so freaking cool.
That was awesome! I’m on a bus with my ten year old son and we’re going from Maine to North Carolina to see TOOL tonight! And you guys got me so pumped up for the show! You sounded incredible! It take a lot to pull off playing Tool! Very well done!🤘
Curt Britt yea that sucks! However it has made me DETERMINED to go see them in an indoor venue. And not where they have severe stupid fuckin windy storms!!! Oh well To ad to the overall shitty ness We have to check out before noon and our flight isn’t until five, and then we have a two hours before our train leaves. We should be home about two am Monday!💩 for twenty minutes of Black Label Society!! Thanks for letting me vent! It was still kinda fun and we talked to a lot of cool people.
@@mattschreiber7807 the countdown is on... I'm sure we'll get a tour and y'all will get a make up show. Good luck with your trip and keep rocking brother 🤘
I don’t know if I like his voice for Tool but he has a fantastic sound for sure. I’d love to hear him do something like Pearl Jam if he can throw some distortion on there.
Oh my god I was thinking the same thing... I think he may nail Layne's voice for sure! But either way these kids were pretty good... Tool is not easy to play by any means.. I fail miserably when I try
Hey Tool fans, how are those goosebumps feeling? Hats off to these kids, man. Holy moly.
Goosebumps? I got tears...
Literally got goosebumps half-a-second before I read your comment.......

She needed to be louder . Not her fault .

That’s bassist is loving it .
And shouldn’t we all.
Been so long
Can’t wait any longer
But will
I may or may not have said this before but this is the best rendition of the masterpiece we all learned to belove.
Watching and listening to these young musicians gives me so much joy… and I am. 70. Rock on.
Finally, a ray of light in the abyss of the future. You have given me hope.
Wow. I love how everyone’s focus is on playing their part correctly, no histrionics or showmanship. But the inability to not groove, not feed off each other’s energy, shines through as the song builds. That is true presence, what it feels like to be in the pocket so to speak. One of the best feelings in the world. Thanks gang and thanks Tool.
fr everyone understands their place in the song
One of the first vocal covers that compare to Maynard in regards to pitch alone. I love the other covers the kids do but this could be mistaken for a raw tool session and that’s absolutely incredible 🤙🏻 so nice to see young generation appreciate what tool offers
Couldn't agree more. What a perfect voice to front a Tool cover.
They look 20-25
This is amazing guys! I'm a forty one year old Tool fan from the UK and I admit I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Tool covers. I would normally skip right past videos like this. Especially because this is my all-time favourite Tool song ever... But, you absolutely nailed it! Stunning work. Trust me, I've listened to this song so many times over the years, it would be impossible to count. I've heard it A LOT! .....And your version was nearly spot on! I LOVED IT!!! Keep up the good work, you are truelly brilliant. (Props to the sound engineer too! Clarity, balance, everything was perfect!) I'm listening to it again now...
Ever heard the Brass Against version? th-cam.com/video/3Dr6ZlcR6Fo/w-d-xo.html
Wow, talk about a difficult song to cover, these young folk knocked it out of the park, outstanding
If these kids can learn & emulate Tool then there is a future for music
That feeling you get when you witness something awesome. Love seeing young adults playing Tool. Awesome job!
That's how you know they will live on. It will be passed from generation to generation, like King Crimson was passed to me.
Usually tool covers don’t hit. This HITS, and to do such a killer job on Lateralus
Love the basss.The bass player just nailed the sound and groves..
Alright guys and gals! You know what the difference is between real musicians and YT show-offs? Well, let me explain!
1. Your bassist seriously nailed that! Using fingerstyle APPROVED! I SLAPPED like immediately! EPICO!
2. Overall, the sounds and instruments you used give the entire thing a way more rocky and rough sound which greatly serves the song and gives it your personal touch rather than just being a copy of the original.
3. Your singer put his own style in there, in a few very well selected spots and fantastically hit the entire and challenging scope that the vocals require.
4. Your drummer especially played this track on such a minimal kit and made it sound wonderful! That is the real art. Most people would just do a complete kit overkill and miss the point completely.
Keep it coming!
Good to see another EPICO Davie504 fan SLAPP like on a tool cover. She did not use A PICC so she is EPICC.
@@ethanthiele9284 Approved! No need to call a police! Unless she stops SLAPPING that BASS of course!
@@ethanthiele9284 Also, when I play BASS I also do not use pic, I use midi and native instruments :D.
@Toxic Potato I agree. Finger style lacks the attack and tone you need for tool. She’s great, but needed a pick.
I cant stop watching the blonde girl on bass. She is so beautiful and talented. Mesmerizing. I could watch her play for hours. Awesome drums, awesome guitars, and maybe even better vocals than the original. What an accomplishment to play something as difficult as this. Well done guys!
I've got goosebumps during the build-up. Great work! The most fun was watching the bassist groove to a Prog song. That's some passionate action right there!
Great job, kids! Especially the bass player! Fingers, all fingers.... bravo!!!
I wish she used a pick just for the attack consistency and tone.
Brava! She's a girl
Justin uses a pick and she did just fine using all fingers
Blown away with those vocals!
This kid on drums is amazing.
These young folks have absolutely SLAAAAAAYED THIS!!! WOW!!! That vocalist was INCREDIBLE!! And that DRUMMER! This is FLAWLESS!!!
Effing speechless....wow!! This is utterly incredible!
Increíble.
Dale yayo
Invencible
La piba del bajo es muy buena, lastima qeu setearon mal el instrumento y no suena como debería.
🎉
😊❤
GOOGLE TRANSLATE SAVE US!!!!
MJK has such a unique voice its almost impossible to sing in his style. But very well done young...all the band members here have a great future.
The kid on vocals is killing it as is the rest of these talented and amazing musicians
This performance blows me away. That singer! I hope to find him in a band someday, that voice belongs in this genre for sure. So good.
🥺
Pretty sure Tool is the only band in this genre.
@@coreyjennings4910 sleep token
Why yes Corey Jennings TOOL is the only progressive band to ever make progressive music
A tear came out of my eye while watching this, its so clean! Kuddos to this kids! My band cant even finish halfway without doing a mistake😎🤘🏻
What a performance!!!! These kids are so inspiring!!
Ok this is one of the best tool covers I’ve ever heard
Check out the O'Keefe kids doing 46 and 2
@Wesley Sledge check out JohnKew's cover of Rosetta Stoned. I think it's one of Danny's most difficult pieces. John said it took him 6 months just to learn the first half of the song.
@@brandondarnell6263 please post the link!
Agreed!!
This is Un-Fucking-Believable, the amount of young talent in that studio is astounding.
Oh my
The hard aproach, TOOL.
Credits for even trying it.
All went well, but that bass player is already up the next level
The drummer’s on point with this one ngl
Wow these kids all look so relaxed while effortlessly playing one of the most musically complex songs around! Awesome job. Also love the O'Keefe music kids Tool covers .
I think it takes 7-8 wonder kin. To come with in ear shot of 4 geniuses. Still high praise.
Absolutely incredible and great!
The guy singing gets it...
No he really doesn't
@@kylehansen7053 Still better than a lot of professionals. We can't really compare students to Maynard, that's just not fair. Aside from some intonations different from the original, it's still really impressive.
@@henryjubeda7617 You're right, I just don't think his singing style fits the overall style of the song. And they had to have two guitar players to play this song. Tool does have alot of backtracking but they still only have 4 members.
Kyle Hansen could you be a bigger douche rocket?
@@brettrun8575 sure I could but I think I'm allowed to voice my opinion, but I never said the dude sucked. I just said his singing style doesn't fit. They are students I get it, and I sincerely hope they go on to have aspiring careers. I have been playing for a long time so excuse me for thinking I'm allowed to be a bit critical.
Bravo to ALL of the musicians here! Truly awesome!
Emma Watson rocks the Bass ;). Girl you got this nailed!
Facts
She nailed it!! The same way the Romans nailed Jesus.
@@cleansober1356 through the hands and feet?
...Swing on a spiral🌀
So fun to witness gifted youth putting their own signature on this classic!
I gotta give ya'll absolute props on an Excellent damn job!! The School of Rock and the O'keefe Foundation are the only groups that seem to be able to do Tool songs proper! Either the timing/beat sounds way off or the singer doesnt have a comparable voice, BUT, these teens just kicked ass and took names!!! Future Rockstars upcoming! :) keep up the awesome work.
4:30 that guitarist almost brought a tear was so powerful. The singer reminds me of Maynard in his Pucsifer persona singing a Tool song, so freaking cool.
A perfect performance by all, especially the girl on bass 🔊 👏
Man, you have to have SERIOUS chops to keep up with Tool music. Very impressive!
EDIT: Next... Ticks and Leeches!
The drummer will need another drum kit after playing that one
Lol don’t know if they can pull that one off
Damn, everyone's playing is very precise on this. And the singing is dead on. They must have practiced a ton. Respect.
Never heard anyone channel Maynard that well. Outstanding.

All I see
Yin my infancy
lol I didn't hear that the first time
It’s in not yin boi
for real. hahaha
Toology r/woooosh
Hall I see*
My favorite Tool track, these kids are the real deal. Drums, base, guitar, vocals, all of it! Masterfully done.
There's clearly a lot of work from everyone involved. Amazing job and rendition!
That was awesome!
I’m on a bus with my ten year old son and we’re going from Maine to North Carolina to see TOOL tonight! And you guys got me so pumped up for the show! You sounded incredible!
It take a lot to pull off playing Tool! Very well done!🤘
Sorry it rained
Yea we were there for an hour and a storm ripped through and canceled the whole night!💩
Thanks for the sympathy!
We’re headed back to the hotel now
@@mattschreiber7807 hate that for y'all (and all the TOOL fans)!! I was at the Jacksonville show and set was short b/c of the rain too
Curt Britt yea that sucks!
However it has made me DETERMINED to go see them in an indoor venue. And not where they have severe stupid fuckin windy storms!!! Oh well
To ad to the overall shitty ness
We have to check out before noon and our flight isn’t until five, and then we have a two hours before our train leaves. We should be home about two am Monday!💩 for twenty minutes of Black Label Society!! Thanks for letting me vent! It was still kinda fun and we talked to a lot of cool people.
@@mattschreiber7807 the countdown is on... I'm sure we'll get a tour and y'all will get a make up show. Good luck with your trip and keep rocking brother 🤘
People just bragging about how the girl on bass and the dude on drums sound great, you dont know how great are the ladies on the piano
This is just magic. No more words.
I don’t know if I like his voice for Tool but he has a fantastic sound for sure. I’d love to hear him do something like Pearl Jam if he can throw some distortion on there.
Alice in Chains. I wanna hear him do rooster or them bones...
I think he'd do a great version of Alive!
I agree, he didn't have the power that Maynard brings, but he definitely has a good voice. I still like Samuel Hope's voice cover better.
Oh my god I was thinking the same thing... I think he may nail Layne's voice for sure! But either way these kids were pretty good... Tool is not easy to play by any means.. I fail miserably when I try
he did a great job, its a difficult voice to replicate lol
