Stinkfist (Tool cover)

I'm house-sitting for a mate, so today's video has a Lego Star Wars theme!
I know I've done Stinkfist before, but my equipment is much better since those days.
If you enjoyed this video, please consider chucking some spare change my way! It will be put towards better equipment. buymeacoffee.com/peterspiker

Ænima album got me into Tool. I was a freshman at University of Texas in 1997 and a guy in our dorm in Jester was jamming out to this and I was like I want to be this guy's friend. I was hooked ever since. Thanks, Toby, for changing my life. Hook Em, bud 🤘

[@peterspiker9960]

Awesome! I remember seeing the film clip at the tender age of 16 or something, and couldn't look away, even if the music was too heavy for me then. And then, years later, I bought Lateralus entirely off of how cool the art was, and was hooked forever.

This is the song that got me into Tool

[@peterspiker9960]

Started with a good one then 🤘🤘

You have managed to distill very complex music into its essence. I love everytime you drop a vid.

[@BiigMoneyGrip]

Sat in a parking lot with this song playing in my shiny new CD player in 1996. Many years on now, coming back to it. Maynard is a lyrical genius.

[@TheRambler]

I did this exact thing with my mothers van when Thirteenth Step was released haha. I was only planning on listening to one song, but I did the whole album right there in the van.

[@MrGuMPT]

Amazing performance man! Love that high note near the end.. "they don't feel a thing at all". Great cover!

[@Nicolas-wo8ji]

Involuntarily headbanging as i make my coffee. This is the way to wake up. Glad you decided to redo this one with proper recording equipment! Had family over last night and i put some of your songs, intending for them to be in the background, but the conversation kept circling back to the music. Everyone was either entranced or blown away. As always, thank you for the making and sharing these incredible songs!

[@peterspiker9960]

Ah awesome, thanks for sharing my videos with your family! Hope the coffee this morning was extra delicious 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@TheDrekistan]

How the hell you manage to make Tool sound so good on just an acoustic and vocals is beyond me! Would love to hear your takes on some deeper cuts from Undertow and the Opiate EP.

[@peterspiker9960]

I was thinking of doing Hush at some point.

[@TheDrekistan]

@@peterspiker9960 Great choice! Interesting to hear how that rawer tone comes off on acoustic. Should Hush sound good, I'm sure Sweat, 4°, Flood, etc. would too.

[@seanlee91]

Woke up to this. Great way to start my day. Great job. Would love to hear you cover Judith by A Perfect Circle

Yesss! Thank you! As stunning as we knew it would be. Oh and by the way, I’ve grown addicted to Evening Bell. I humbly request an acoustic arrangement of Captain Trips. Fucking fantastic song I’ve got on repeat right now.

[@peterspiker9960]

Hey, thanks for listening to Evening Bell! Glad you like it. Captain Trips is basically two chords with a bunch of extra stuff piled on top… not really a great option for acoustic, unfortunately…

[@weenyoo]

@@peterspiker9960 I’m more interested in the performance than the arrangement, to be honest! A girl can dream. 🤘

Do you listen to a backing track while you are recording or your own vocals? Curious as to how you stay in time. Your covers are absolutely amazing man.

Thanks! These days I prepare a click track to make the doubling up of guitar easier.

Peter, mate I've just listened to your whole repertoire for the last 2 hours plus and then I see you justed dropped this! Mate what would it take to get you to Perth for a private show!

Don't wanna come across stalker like, but legit would pay to see him play to a camp fire vigil of die hard tool fans. Im possibly coming to adelaide for work soon. I would happily travel too. Think about it seriously please Peter. I know others who would love to see you 👍

[@jireal19]

I'm a singer/guitarist in my three-piece band. I'm trying to do a Tool Medley: Vicarious, Forty Six and 2, and Sober. Your videos have been insanely helpful. How do you handle the guitar strokes that sometimes are counter to the singing? I thought it was impossible, yet here you are doing the impossible.

[@peterspiker9960]

The answer is to play it a lot… what I find happens is the seperate rhythms stop feeling like two parts needing to be played together and start feeling like the one part with enough repetition.

Little friday jam shred! Peter could you pull off Zero by the pumpkins? And have you played a 12 string? Thanks for the tunes

Hmmm, the issue with Zero is going to be getting those harmonics in the main riff to ring out without any distortion accentuating it. I’ll give it a try!
