Grand Canyon | Puscifer cover | ft. Roopa Mahadevan

[@oliverburns8479]

In 1995, Maynard made a guest appearance on "Mr Show with Bob and David." One thing led to another, and now I am listening to a classical Indian singer fronting a brass-rock cover band on constant repeat.

I’m an old man. I thought my metal/alternative/funk/grunge/hiphop days were over but this band keeps introducing me to new amazing music and I could not be more appreciative. Thank you Brass Against!

[@Katharsis540]

Music never dies lives in the soul. Even a deaf person holds rhythm. Walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm.

[@rogerreinitz5315]

I don't want to call Brass Against a cover band. They are reinventing. So amazing.

[@c_jo]

An Indian classical vocal cover of Puscifer by Brass Against. I can safely die now!! This is was bril-fucking-lant!!!

[@jasontphelan]

King Midas who? .....everything you guys touch turns to gold. 🤙

[@fartzinwind]

I'm genuinely amazed this song was written by Maynard James Keenan. He seems like the kind of person who has been doing a hell of a lot of soul searching and self reflection over the decades of being a musician. He can still make a song filled with the most eloquently distilled rage you can imagine, but he can also make this. More angry city folk should try living in the desert for a bit.

[@TommyboyGTP]

You must not have been around during his A Perfect Circle days

[@fartzinwind]

@@TommyboyGTP i was around for and owned Opiat. Owned the first several perfect circle albums, and first couple puscifer.

[@abentevent]

Trogdor is right you know.

[@DDNCK]

Did you ever make it past Undertow? Aenima has its angry moments, but its deeply spiritual and self actualizing moments, as well. And Lateralus is possibly the most wholesome rock album ever made. That’s 96’ and 01’.. he’s been writing this kind of stuff for a long time.

[@eonblu4629]

I was skeptical, but this is a brilliant cover that I never knew I wanted.

[@MikeBoaz]

I actually enjoyed this cover more than the original Puscifer track... I am just, blown away.

[@tobeybeagle1521]

Right!? And I agree with Mike Boaz, better than the original.

[@DanceMonkeychg]

In the last few years Puscifer has come roaring up from out of nowhere to become one of my favorite things. I want to see more covers and reactions and people talking about this band. And I need the more close minded "Every second Tool is not making a new record is a waste of time and nothing else matters" fans to bugger off, and accept that what Maynard, Carina, and Mat are creating is every bit as valid, and maybe, in my opinion, connects on an even deeper level. For me. I still love Tool. It's just that I've rarely been quite as riveted, even by most of the other things I enjoy, as I was when I found Puscifer.

[@SmearyRenold]

The way I’ve always seen it is that Tool speaks to my mind while Puscifer speaks to my heart. They both give me something to feel and for that I love them both. Music of this quality should not be ignored especially because of something so malleable as your opinion.

[@royalkuhnt8216]

I happened to discover Puscifer when they released V is for Vagina, and I've watched every record get progressively better. It's been quite the journey.

[@matthewfullerton904]

Wholeheartedly agree

[@BillyTheKidder]

That’s like.. your opinion, man..

[@knightoflain]

@@royalkuhnt8216 Puscifer is great and as a tool fan since the nineties i lowkey put Puscifer above Tool. Still i feel they came out of the gates swinging and V is their best record to date.

[@juanpablolow1]

This is a prayer for me, it makes me very happy that you have sung it with so much respect and love.

[@Kaya0Anna]

Absolutely stunning. Her roots shining through in her tone and voice wow. You might have surpassed the OG. Wow. Just wow.

[@christinel.4827]

You can’t go wrong with anything written by the great Maynard James Keenan! This is gorgeous… ❤️‍🔥

[@jarekhereda2218]

I grew up with RATM and Tool then naturally, I fall in love with Brass... But this! This is another level. For forty years or so I never had a favorite or 'best' song..until now. Beautiful. The best 6 minutes of your life.

[@ThiagoGasparino]

Why can't I upvote this more than once? This is f*ing beautiful! I just got chills all over.

[@richardjones38]

This is awesome. I hope Maynard and Carina hear it. Whoever chooses the tunes Brass Against cover seems to have my taste in music.

[@frankieanderson360]

For sure they have. Brass Against toured with them in Europe

[@bananaquiet]

Still that unsettled feeling inside Roopa's expression. Matches the aesthetic. Punk Rock!

[@IanSrewop]

I loved this song to begin with, but every time I hear this version of it, I get chills.

This might legitimately be the best composition Brass Against has ever done.

lady , i never in world that i live in have heard a voice so clear and trained as you . thank the angles for this gift . thanks youtube for recomending !

[@MikeOrkid]

Really awesome interpretation of the song. The Indian touch blends perfectly with the original. You guys always nail the covers and I can't wait to hear what's next.

[@julianweir3030]

If your referring to the vocals, I believe they are actually South Asian; more specifically Indian. That said, I could be wrong in my assessment as I'm far from an expert, and it's also a possibility that these vocal styles are similar enough or cross influenced enough that the distinction is purely academic. I agree with you though, the unique style of those vocal runs really fits the song in a way I hadn't expected.

[@varunvibhakar7372]

Roopa's and Sophia's singing is very beautiful. My whole body got chills.

[@Steam_Engenius]

This is absolutely and truly beautiful. The song itself a testament to humanity's desperate innate desire to be one with the universe and then this cover a testament to Puscifer's raw power and talent to take an entire room of people to recreate something along the same level. Insanely well done.

[@alldud13]

this is the proper instrumentation for a song with this much depth thank you

I'm so beyond happy to see such a brilliant, well-placed South/West Asian take on Maynard's vocals. Ever since I first heard the song, I noticed the similarity in the undulations, and this just took it full circle. This was an insanely cool cover!

[@Noukz37]

Re-listening to this song now in 2022 with goosebumps and tears in my eyes... I don't think I've ever been this hopeful, for humanity for all of us. Hopeful, but not pathetic. Hopeful, yet not passive. The global spiritual awakening is happening, slowly but surely. I have faith that you will join in soon, brother and sister, to become a part of the solution for our common absolution of all the sins that we have committed to our Mother and all its children over the centuries.

[@waynethera2712]
