O'KEEFE MUSIC FOUNDATION - KIDS PLAY "46 AND 2" [REACTION!] (TOOL COVER)

[@curtismoss8616]

What up Skullz, this is Curtis Moss, the drummer from the video. I'm 24 now and have my own band called Backhand Blue with Macy Addis and Eli Dykstra, other OKeefe Music Foundation stars. Thanks for the react! If look up backhand blue on all the socials and spotify we should be there.

[@suefantastic4584]

You are bad ass Curtis!! Love your heart!

[@ohneMofa007]

Massiv cool, cheers from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪

[@skinnybuddha74]

Wow! How cool! Now I need to check out some Backhand Blue like immediately!

[@TheDarinw40]

Damn Curtis you are a beast man😂.... Oozing with so much talent it's not funny

[@WrenchS13]

bro you killed it on this cover. from what I heard, you requested to do this cover because you were a big Tool fan. Tool's music is really technical and hard for even experienced people to play. you guys really stepped up.

[@MG-ug5hr]

One of the tightest covers you’ll ever hear….period. These kids nailed it.

[@malhondize3898]

that kid beat those drums like they stole from him

[@Skullzrapper]

😂😂😂

[@paull1438]

I've probably watched this video 200 times. As an old school musician, this project gives me hope.

The kid playing the drums (Curtis I believe) is the one who requested to do this song.

Is there any other way to drum?

[@hassanjawadrana3208]

That drummer is really understated in the comments. Everyone was amazing!

[@krasht1]

The vocalist is Kala Rose, she fronts a band called "Saving Escape"

[@kingsley.park00]

Okeefe is insane

[@el-violador]

The piano is something I never knew I needed in a Tool song until I heard this

[@Skullzrapper]

Yeah it gave the cover its own DNA 🔥

[@nikolaypetrov6044]

Well... and what about to expect a 11 year girl's vocal here?🤣 Kala was just unbelievably incredible.

[@RailfanJason]

I saw this video when it was new. Never dreamed so many people would be reacting to it today... almost a decade later.

[@ssmolen42]

O'Keefe Foundation did another Tool cover of Sober, a few years later, with the same vocalist, which is IMO even more amazing.

[@mariovrandecic5690]

Yes, Kala is outstanding! Skullz, please do react to Sober and The Pot version 2 (she is in version 2, but they have 5 different versions with other children playing)!

[@jefferyadams6150]

Yeah I saw that a couple weeks ago, it's amazing!!

[@andyf.3371]

I have watched a LOT of reactions to this clip. It is entertaining to see people respond with ecstasy to the incredible talent and production with that extra factor that comes thru . They always 1. are impressed with the quality in the first 10 seconds , 2. smile at the clave player and what he adds. 3. love the piano arrangement. 4. wait to see if the vocalist will do well, and are completely hooked by the chorus. This clip captured lightning in a bottle. Kudos to the mix and edit engineers. The sum is greater than the parts and is a moment in time for all these musicians. It continues to be a clip that holds up over time and gives hope for grown ups that young folks can, with support and a little direction & someone putting faith in them, achieve amazing things.

[@sir.tacocartbearson1569]

The girl singing is all grown up know her last video with O'Keefe was amazing. Check it out. I think it was crazy horse by black label society.

[@ukjoe42]

The era of the supergroup is coming to an end. These kids give me hope for the future of music.

[@germtheory1257]

OMF RULES! Tears of joy everytime.

[@jamesjohnson-ez6xk]

Wanna see her grown up crazy horse best yet

[@moonshinin]

This is probably the best cover of any Tool song on youtube. Seen it too many times and it's still 🤘 every damn time.

[@nikolaypetrov6044]

I'd say - yes basically. But I know one more: The Pot by Brass Against. You can check it out in YT.

[@moonshinin]

@@nikolaypetrov6044 Of course I have seen it :D It is indeed amazing, but the fact these are just kids makes it something more incredible to me 🤘

[@GRIMRPR6942]

Check out the moment at 9:13 when the singer in the booth in the background of the shot does the 46 & 2 sign. Mad respect for doing that.

[@DanielWhelan2]

Not sure about the rest of the musicians, but the singer's name is Kala Rose, she's in a band called Saving Escape. -> kzbin.info

[@dalemoore435]

Watch more of them... the 11year old singing snuff blew me away... she was telling people what she went through

[@seandobson6221]

I wish there had been organizations like this when I was growing up. I would’ve spent my entire younger years learning to play. I was a band nerd but I would’ve loved learning the guitar. These kids do this more than justice. The young lady singing has gone on to do some other Tool songs and now has her own band. She’s 23 now.

[@ganymede4030]

The girl that did the vocals is in a band called Saving Escape! They rock!

[@AlessandroNardi_DA]

Check out pushit salival version before lateralus, it's a completely different experience.

[@klassemyra]

I’m ready for the grudge…

[@marcguidetti3081]

you gotta here this girl sing Sober, she totally kills it and she is even young in that video

[@thepat09]

They're so cute lol. Talented lil buggers for sure. 🤘😎🤘

For real! 🤘🤘🤘

[@kevins.1435]

Dude! Watch their Sober remake…. It’s chilling

[@Dmoe2600]

You should check out the Lateralus cover my drama face recordings, the Clone cover. One dude does every instrument and sings and also stars in the video. Best cover of Lateralus I’ve ever heard.

[@CriaAndKiddFW]

Story goes that the drummer is a Danny Carey and Tool fan and he requested the cover. They nailed it!

[@JP33zy]

Love the smirk the singer has when she does the "46 and 2 ahead of me" line. These kids are crazy talented.

[@Skullzrapper]

I caught that too! 🔥🔥🔥

[@enlightendbel]

There's one point where she's looking in the direction of the drummer while he's going apeshit and draws a smile too. Not only did they do this well at that age, they are also fully enjoying freaking TOOL at that age.

[@randywenrick2393]

O'Keefe kids also do smells like teen spirit, excellent

[@randywenrick2393]

Those kids are great and check out 777 and crawl across your killing floor. Worth a listen.

[@dravakian]

This cover is one of the best I've heard. I don't know how many times I've watched or listened to it but its in the hundreds. And they're kids, which makes it just that much better. Not to mention, Kala's band (Saving Escape) is also amazing and the other members are also part of OMF.

[@larryburns5508]

I enjoyed watching you see that 46 and 2 cover by those kids as much as I did the first time I seen it. Your face was priceless.

[@williamdeegan7840]

These awesome kids also covered Sober by Tool. A few later. The girls name is Kayla, I think. She's one hell of a guitar player. She sings the song 2.

[@frankydominguez6581]

I remember when Us Tool fans where annoyed when asked if we seen the kids playing 46 and 2

[@colinpate3059]

With all the amazing young people doing amazing things there is hope for the future, their future.

[@maureenwagg5305]

These kids are the future of music. It really gives me hope for the future of heavy music.

[@Shawn0428]

I know that they did other covers, but, for me, this is their best, by far. Glad you got to see it. :)

[@RalphBellairs]

Kala Rose, one of my favourite vocalists ever, is nowadays the lead vocal with Saving Escape. They just dropped a new song called "Sweet lovin'".

[@itsthegoose11]

She sang the national anthem at a baseball game I went to a few years ago also

[@ronnieroberts40]

I'd love to see them all get together & do it again!

[@dereklahti1373]

These kids kill pretty much every song they do. And they do it all

Alot of the music tool and Maynards other 2 groups are somewhat aligned with The Fibonacci Sequence

[@heyskipj]

Thanks for the appetizer and shout out to ALL members of the band expressing themselves. This blew me away first time I saw it. Still does. The drummer here brought the song to the instructors to cover. Can you tell if he's into it? 😄

[@Skullzrapper]

Lol I have a small suspicion he might be into it 😂

[@shaunbryan3421]

The vocalist Kayla Rose has her own band these days it's made up of a couple of friends from the O'Keefe music foundation. From what I've heard they kind of infuse a bit of folk blues bluegrass and rock into their style. The best part is that they are playing the music they want to play and they love doing it there's nothing more punk rock than that.

[@Skullzrapper]

I love that! 🤘❤

[@arctic_haze]

Actually Kala Rose and the band is called Saving Escape.

[@stephenwhite655]

And here is one of the bands videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XMd52ffsueeZo keeping in mind they no longer have all the resources they did back in the O'Keefe Music Foundation days, still pretty good!

[@stephenrybka1200]

Atleast there’s still some kids in this world who like normal music \m/

[@kevincase2473]

This is best cover I’ve seen of this song. I’m always impressed by these kids and as a bass player that started when I was 12, I wish I had something like this when I was learning. The drummer is Curtis Moss and has his own KZbin channel with lot more tool covers. He’s pretty badass. Awesome reaction. Now let’s get back to the show! Lol

[@bobbyverne9714]

I'm actually starting my comment before you start watching and then freaking out because these incredible group of is going to impress you beyond belief. I've been watching these O'Keefe musicians for a few years, instantly becoming a huge fan. God bless teachers! Bringing out the best in children like must feel fantastic! Turning cgi into musicians, and these kids are most definitely musicians! OK! Back for the review! I told you so. It's unfricken believable how well they played that song, that piece of music! I'm hoping, as well, that these kids stayed with it. Love your channel

Great job by the drummer even if they did need 4 kids to play what Danny plays by himself. They don't call him the octopus for no reason.

[@DrosanLeonamValis]

Hey Man. Whatsup? This interpretation of Tool - 46 and 2, opened a whole new review for quality, technical signature and evolving from Music Schools from USA, in comparison to the pratically and absolutelly lack of such state of art teaching in my Country, Brazil. Absolutely fantastic. You get the point. Kala Rose is a fantastic singer, now, I think she´s into her 22y, and is the main leading vocal of her own Band. The others members, I dunno nothing about them, but they are absolutely fantastic musicians. Get a peek at Sober cover from the same school. See Ya!

[@eviljeep]

Sometimes i'm anxious for the future.. and i see this 👌 give me hope 🤟 big thumb up to the young drummer . Big shoes to fill

[@tedalfred9516]

You should check out the Okeefe Founsation's version of Sober when this girl's about 4 years older and also they do five versions Tools The Pot....version number 1... the guitar player is insane as is the rendition.

To see the growth of the singer either check out her band Saving Grace or watch her last performance with OMF, Crazy Horse. It is amazing! Or, going back to when she was even younger, Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine.

[@fromthecockpitwgenwilliams920]

Doing this song was the drummer's idea...apparently, he just HAD to do it. I, for one, am very glad they did it (it introduced me to both Tool, AND OMF).

[@ModoTronic666]

This is great and it's great to see kids getting into good music. You realize they needed 4 percussionists to do what Danny does by himself....

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

This is in my #UpliftingInspiration playlist & gets played on the regular. Tis indeed a thing of joy. :) For a bunch of teenagers to pull this off is properly o_O And props obviously to the engineering & production guys to capture this, & mix & master so well to come up with a polished end result. The teen drummer tho, getting the spirit of the thing so close to what Danny does in the original, trying his arse off while obviously close to his physical limits at the time.... what an absolute #SpiritAnimal !! :)

[@Dmoe2600]

Yeah they are great, like it’s been said they do a cover(little different) of Sober with the same girl singing yet older. They also held a little competition AB’s had different groups of kids so their own rendition of “The Pot” and see which one was more liked to determine the winner.

Dude... your trip down the spiral with tool, and specifically the Aenima album, has been insane!!! I bought the cassette (for the daily driver) and a CD (for in the house) on the day it came out. I had no idea it would have the effect it had on me. And going on the journey with you has brought me back to that time. The time I literally listened to NOTHING else but AEINEMA for almost 9 months straight. And almost 30 years later... seeing your discovery of such mind blowing, life changing ART (I call it art because ots so much more than just music) has been EPIC and gives me goose bumps just like it did back then. You are in for a world of an experience with the rest of Tool's work. 🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘

The first time I got to see them live was in 1997 on the Aenima tour and it was at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Was beyond a life changing experience and i hope you get to see them perform some day.
