Amazing work bro...

This was amazing! Thanks a lot.

Pneuma after that? Pretty please?

Cant wait, 7empest so awesome

Either Pneuma or Culling Voices.

New Tool Album New Leo Bass Covers New TOOL Leo Bass Covers WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE Great job as usual man! Looking forward to 7empest!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you so much man!

[@klefftan8344]

Ah descending. I remember a time when it was just a four minute interlude in their live shows. Great job as usual, I hope you can continue doing these covers for a while longer.

[@Minnevan]

Kleff Tan me and my friends use to listen to the 3 minute clip of it while smoking, it blew my mind to think new Tool would sound like this

[@klefftan8344]

Quinn Minnehan That sounded like a blast haha. I am definitely digging new Tool as well.

[@jeffk2481]

Omg same

[@MShepherd88]

Out of curiosity, which part of the song was the original four minute segment?

[@klefftan8344]

MShepherd88 most of the last 4-ish minutes of the song and the a bit of the intro I suppose (except no lyrics). It's quite hard to say considering they changed the layout a lot compared to the original 4 minute song.

[@yigitcengil2465]

I swear I just listened to this and wished for a bass cover with tabs. Are you a psychic or something?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Yep!

[@ShroomRPG]

Seeing it isolated like this, Justin's basslines aren't really that complex, but they always sound so huge and prominent in the context of the song, great player and really makes me wanna pick up a cheap bass so I can jam stuff like this.

[@posic3073]

Probably more difficult than you realize. I said the same thing and picked up the bass and had a hard time with the timing lol

[@theflossydog1825]

95% of the hard work is in being able to compose them from scratch. Playing them is just the fun part, same as Adam's parts.

[@corvus_kay6755]

@@posic3073 I`ve been playing bass since 2 and a half years and I am able to comfortably play The Pot, Schism, Aenima and I can somewhat play 10.000 Days and 46&2 ( I really only cannot play one part that seems to break my fingers). Not to say that you are bad, maybe I am a special case since I am really really dedicated to the instrument (for these years I`ve played about a hour every day). As someone commented here, its incredibly impressive to come up with such creative out of the box riffs and licks. However it also isn`t easy, it`s just also not super hard (to me, some might think overwise). The timing is often tricky but manageable in about a hour at least. Learning through listening and playing repeatedly has helped me a lot here.

[@posic3073]

@@corvus_kay6755 you sir or ma’am, have much experience! I am admittedly not that great haha but I can see your point very much so

[@corvus_kay6755]

@@posic3073 well thank you. I (he) really don't think it's that much of experience since a lot of people around me have been playing for far longer then I have, but I do seems to keep up, even with the huge time gap between some. There is still A LOT to learn for me

[@brockcollins9247]

Instead of wringing your hand you should have let it go limp then swing it in a spiral so you will open your third eye and grow 15 arms to play the whole album at once

[@jaaz.handss]

you legend. utter legend. less than 24 hours and you already uploaded a full damn video. i absolute love your account

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks man!

[@michaelrichardson7286]

the fucking timings on this are insane. I think that's Justin's (and Tool in general) greatest strength is being able to fucking compose songs with such complex timings and being able to do it for 12+ minutes!

[@dmcunicorn6800]

Oh jeez first learning rossetta stoned now this lmao. Going to be hell of an experience to the learn this one.

[@dannyortega7023]

DMC Unicorn Rosetta Stoned and Descending are probably my two fave songs, Lateralus in 3rd. But then I’ll listen to Third Eye and it’ll throw off my selection lol. Every one of their songs is pretty incredible.

[@TroublesomeOwl]

@@dannyortega7023 Taken me a good long time, but i've finally nailed down my top 5 tool songs, in chronological order 4 degrees Pushit Reflection Right In Two Descending

[@jaimeG4LV3Z]

I totally agree, this with Culling Voices and probably Fear Inocolum are the best songs in the album.

[@jtlinard3627]

Saw this live for the first time hearing it. I want to teleport back now that I ve heard it like 50 times. Nice work. Love Justins bass work. Saw an interview with him where he initially turned them down for an audition. He eventually went armed with the bass line for 46&2. Said he didnt think he was good enough to hang with them ....crazy.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Damn.. very humble guy :)

[@juliotorres5542]

I just finished listening to the new album, and he drops the descending cover. Amazing, so quick!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you!

[@deadvirgo]

that timing is insane. got most things the second or third time around. gotta come back to this a few more times for sure...

[@brandonwebley5545]

i have the chinese version of that bass and i thought my dropped D string just sounded like shit but i noticed now that you are picking closer to the neck for the open D stuff and when i do that it sounds much better too, the more u learn.. thanks for doing this man

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No problem! Yeah the position of where you pick actually changes your tone quite a bit. Go up higher and you'll get a much fuller and bassier tone.

[@jimg741]

my fav song on the album. thanks so much

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No problem! Same here :)

[@michtarragon4665]

Saw them play this live the other night. Probably the best performance of the night. I was blown away. So good!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Yeah! I've seen them play it live too. Feels like they put even more energy into their newer songs live

[@chrisdutton6636]

Album is amazing! I’m begging you for "invincible!" Please, I pray to all Bass Gods for some Invincible, Leo! :-)

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I will probably cover all the songs.

[@HankScorpio86]

Invincible is Justin’s stand-out song :) We need it lol

[@nuke97]

It's a tough one because of all the crazy sound effects going on.

[@endokrin7897]

So good, man... So good! I love your 'versions' of songs; the bass turned up in the mix. I kind of like these versions better than many of the originals!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you! Quite interesting to hear really. Bass boosted Tool versions..

[@chrisduncan1647]

I came to comment the same thing.

[@Djentstructer]

Didn't know bass was so epic! They got those thick sounding notes.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Oh yes!

[@jeffvogt4237]

There are two things I’m gonna do today, smoke a lot of pot and play sooo many tool songs on bass. I’m such a stereotype :)

[@strudawg9331]

I'm deffinetly on the same page....

[@JackChurchill101]

Well done, - I'm totally learning from these. People like you can put Ultimate Guitar out of business!

[@ihsound9309]

You know I'm going to use these videos to learn the bass of each and every new tool song :D

[@99bajakid]

this is probably my favorite tool song to play on bass, so far. I just picked up the bass last year (20 year guitar player) and there have been fun/favorite parts throughout like the breakdown in Rosetta Stoned, the entry to The Grudge, but so far this one has had my timing stumped for a bit, and it feels so good to finally get it right. No shade to Adam because his work on F.I. has taken a big leap, but the bass playing by Justin from 10kd to this album has been light years ahead, it could be because i'm new to bass though.

[@jeredwattman4355]

Leo, my man, it is so exciting to see you posting these new tool songs. I also have been keeping up with your main channel, love the vocals you are working on!

I don’t play bass nor am I gifted with musical notation but it sounds like there an extra low D over lapping the higher D in a one and, one-two, and, one-two, and, one-two, and, one-twooo. I don’t see this played in the video. Any explanation?

[@bizichyld]

Ok I think I’m just imagining the high D and the low D I’m hearing is the result of the pull off.

[@AnkitKumar-qq7wf]

Hey man, great cover as always and super fast! I have a question: what effects do you use to get the Tool bass tone. Without any effects, I get a very round and bassy sound, not as raw as Tool

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Just some distortion really. I wasn't actually really happy with the clean sound for this one. But I tend to just go big on bass/treble and add some distortion.

[@chriswalkerbass]

this is so good :)))

[@jerrycain7702]

Excellent, as always, but I don't think the second and third notes (F-D) of the opening lick are tied. The way the open-D speaks in the recording sounds like an attack not a pull-off, no?
