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.

[@slantz49]

The young lady on Bass hands down

[@FizzyCape]

rellimnahtan drummer. The bassist is good, but keeping on beat with those complex rhythms on drums is harder

[@lcdat]

I say both. They both killed it.

[@The0ne7777]

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.

[@milanzabro]

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.

[@gablo1089]

Drummer absolutely slaughtered it too.

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.

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'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!

[@chrisf8904]

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.

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!

[@cashjames7]

For the drummer to play that on a regular kit he deserves a record deal

[@yangerjamir0906]

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.

[@MicheleCaforio]

Finally, a ray of light in the abyss of the future. You have given me hope.

[@alundor]

Great contribution from keyboard players, they were swinging the first minute of the song. Essential.

[@michaellongo6697]

Kudos to that singer too, really did a strong impression of Maynard’s voice

[@Nuts_Tanknoodle]

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...

[@hectorchamate2216]

Ever heard the Brass Against version? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXXVZ42imLdpfNE

[@landonwolfe5193]

These vocals..... man these vocals ❤

[@emailformosa]

Greatest song ever written.

[@AliciaChains]

Singing spot on. Not an easy song to embrace and he nailed it. Everyone in this rendition is a great musician. As a girl I absolutely loove the bassist and her energy.

[@oniwakamaru7046]

This kid on drums is amazing.

[@andredaniel9540]

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!

[@ethanthiele9284]

Good to see another EPICO Davie504 fan SLAPP like on a tool cover. She did not use A PICC so she is EPICC.

[@andredaniel9540]

@@ethanthiele9284 Approved! No need to call a police! Unless she stops SLAPPING that BASS of course!

[@andredaniel9540]

@@ethanthiele9284 Also, when I play BASS I also do not use pic, I use midi and native instruments :D.

[@user-mz8iu7qx4n]

@Toxic Potato I agree. Finger style lacks the attack and tone you need for tool. She’s great, but needed a pick.

[@brian-doesnt-know]

Bassist is vibing and rocking at the same time

[@remcohartog3746]

Amazing! Tool isnt the most easy thing to play , its difficult and complex , and these youngsters nailed it!

[@adventurewithacamera]

That feeling you get when you witness something awesome. Love seeing young adults playing Tool. Awesome job!

[@PeteOliva]

That's how you know they will live on. It will be passed from generation to generation, like King Crimson was passed to me.

[@decomp8641]

That’s bassist is loving it . And shouldn’t we all. Been so long Can’t wait any longer But will

[@taksinus2914]

That voice bro.... When you're older and life has beat you up a little you will write some hauntingly beautiful music

[@newdaze11]

The singer did a great job. We are all so spoiled by having Maynard that anything other than him is 2nd, 3rd or 4th. As the song went along the kid found his voice and rhythm. The bassist!!! Mind blown!!

[@nomerevientes]

Increíble.

[@madvillian6350]

La piba del bajo es muy buena, lastima qeu setearon mal el instrumento y no suena como debería.

Ok this is one of the best tool covers I’ve ever heard

[@Buyheatshrink]

Check out the O'Keefe kids doing 46 and 2

[@brandondarnell6263]

@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.

[@dftns]

@@brandondarnell6263 please post the link!

[@geraldlogue7124]

Agreed!!

[@bravotoomuch4218]

My favorite album of theirs. Saw this concert in El Paso in 02. General admission venue and every nook and cranny had someone in it. Played this and all their best songs. Rocked. I mean, rocked. Cheers from Texas, y'all.

[@almostideal1306]

Huge props to the drummer and the bassist. My only advice for playing that song is "good luck, you need it" they both killed it.

[@snoproblem]

Man, you have to have SERIOUS chops to keep up with Tool music. Very impressive! EDIT: Next... Ticks and Leeches!

[@Kiromony]

The drummer will need another drum kit after playing that one

[@383_mtb7]

Lol don’t know if they can pull that one off

[@ampoycarolino5242]

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😎🤘🏻

[@edwinbarth3816]

Not one of those 4 parts is easy, Tool are each master class of their instruments and you guys crushed it. Blown away!

[@orf.designs]

What a performance!!!! These kids are so inspiring!!

[@bradhornbuckle993]

If these kids can learn & emulate Tool then there is a future for music

[@johnstewart2981]

The drummer’s on point with this one ngl

[@damor4878]

Imagine the young lady on bass and Justin jamming together. Would be awsome too watch and hear!

[@michaelrandall2490]

That girl is owning the bass & song…props

[@hdgehog6]

Great job, kids! Especially the bass player! Fingers, all fingers.... bravo!!!

[@0neirogenic]

I wish she used a pick just for the attack consistency and tone.

[@MicheleCiprianiit]

Brava! She's a girl

[@tjcabrera1]

Justin uses a pick and she did just fine using all fingers

[@NikhilSharma-Capt]

Love the basss.The bass player just nailed the sound and groves..

[@Mienhardt]

Lead singer nailed it when he forgot he was recording, these guys killed it 👊

[@seanlynch6737]

Just incredible, and just like that, we know what Lateralus played on flat wounds sounds like. Tip of the hat to all the musicians.

[@TenTonNuke]

I feel like the singer would be really good at Live "Lightning Crashes" with his specific tone.

[@chrisf8904]

Ha. Not to many of us would make that connection...Kudos!
