Tool - Demon Cleaner (live San Diego 98) - HQ audio

[@thatsmychin]

Was at this show, had too much to drink in prior to and missed most of the show. however, when I heard the intro I came alive, who in the hell had heard of Kyuss in '98? I felt like the the coolest guy there knowing all the words to the song.

[@monkeybmcgee]

Tenacious D and the Melvins opening. An amazing show.

[@daveyponderosa9549]

Hahaha In 98 Kyuss WAS my favourite band!

[@LifeIsPyczy]

This cover is absolutely phenomenal. I can never get enough of Tool covers. Danny nails this song right on the head. And I assume Maynard had admiration for this song with the way he sings it. Much like You Lied. Stellar!! Great up!!

[@crackbaby1537]

It's not as good

[@ZerberusKnight]

I love both versions of this tune, it's such a fucking amazing track! And it's one of those tracks that just has that feel to it like an actual Tool track!

[@treewitch666]

I heard this song before the original Kyuss version. I heard the original and instantly preferred it because the drums are epic.

[@Reddeath89]

I'm not going to lie, this is good as shit. I would love if they did a studio recording of this.

[@cmwmichael4835]

they did

[@redechelon37]

Chad Wick I've tried to find one and have only ever heard live. I would love to hear a studio recording of this. Do you have a link or source?

[@cmwmichael4835]

Okay so, no I have not heard a studio recording of it. The track I heard was just an enhanced audio recording of the live performance. Apparently they only covered this a few times. I'm sorry for the hope lol.

[@bigmanSJH]

A kyuss song from tool is like "down" a combination of two things I like very much.

[@cmwmichael4835]

this song was made for Maynard. seems something he could have done later in his career too. would be awesome to see it on a digital album somewhere nowadays ;p

[@PhantomsDesire]

Gawdess, the guitar and drum riffs in this are just so @#$%*-%$! GOOD! Maynard was meant for this song........ This blasts well........ Anywhere! No wonder it's TOOL approved!

[@ekwfan6]

Awesome cover and great quality. Thanks for the upload.

[@mikangra]

"sanction is the way!!!" for tool version. "i am the only way." kyuss original.

[@LyleAllbritton]

8 years too late, it's satan

[@churdyrose6929]

Def says Satan

[@dangusrangus]

Definitely says Satan because the demons are saying it

[@PrawdaTV]

intro sounds like Hangin' Tree

[@anarchoutis]

Sweet cover.

[@SS8STEVE]

Omh i'm reunited, when i played GuitarHero the game, Tool had the best songs

[@PhoenixWolffMetal666]

This is a kyuss song

[@metalstrophe6471]

I really enjoy this

[@tinmanofwar1541]

BRUTAL!

[@thatsmychin]

They brought Reader in for the song if I remember correctly. Thus the cover.

[@DiegoProgressive]

thatsmychin Yes that's why Maynard says at the end: "Scott Reeder!"

[@jeffkurtz6011]

Shadow people and demons aren't a joke or muse. Seen some really weird s*** at a tool concert in Albuquerque

[@Barnes-ml9wg]

Care to elaborate?

[@speedking7224]

Plz elaborate? People need to know

[@tsnhd]

Intro kinda sounds like Hanging Tree

[@DoctorShahob]

What does he say around 3:39 Madman....?

[@davidvoler2161]

NO WAY AS GOOD AS WHAT KYUSS DID

[@churdyrose6929]

👁️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤👁️

[@ANoDYNUSjosh]

He says Satan is the way 3 times and then this is the only way. It's pretty goddamn clear haha. It's not the original lyric though, which is I'm the only way.

[@maggotoftool]

Hey third3ye. You were here 14 November 2020. How are you man? Did you like the new album

[@DonkeyDongAttack]

I actually like this more than the original

[@conectandoarte3526]

Pero no se mueve loco

[@conectandoarte3526]

Ayudenlo

[@funknotik]

This is fucking great! But don't look at the comments! S@tans the only way///

[@k1ngk0ngwl]

Aw sheeut. I was there for this. The good ol' days when Tool shows weren't wall to wall douchebags... er, well, now that I think about it, 96 was the last GREAT one at Rimac. That's right... I'm OGT from the first EP back in '92. Check out my new tattoo.

[@davebeerman911]

vans 501

[@ISISbandLive]

Any more from this show?

[@Tommyboytomsters]

I hear ou

[@Mandance]

Is it just me or are some of Maynards notes flat in this?

[@davebeerman911]

just you man

[@shchorss]

just you. this is maynard in his prime

[@thatyoudliketoknow1628]

Not just you. Some is not clean at all.

[@toolrocky]

3:52 Satan is the way?

[@andrejm3069]

I think it may be sanction but idk

[@munkypilot]

Says sanction every second time and Satan every other second time

[@goatmanguy]

he says sanction, look up the lyrics seriously

[@RobertLewis-jv4lv]

Harry Mananus you too tough guy, stop, wiener. End

[@rastabg23]

"Sanction" is the way... not "Satan"

[@Eisenangel]

"Ascension is the way" is what he's saying

[@hazelphoenix1819]

Some say it’s sanction, some say ascension, some say Satan. I’m going with Satan.

[@MadDocPax]

I mostly agree. Not exactly '96 but a couple years later. I'm not saying they sold out (whatever that means), it's just that they went stale. Lateralus is a very good album in absolute terms, but it pales in comparison to Aenima (some of the songs on it at least). 10000 days was further down the spiral. It sounds to me like they had a massive drug-fueled surge of inspiration in the mid-nineties, then went on the wagon. Cue Bill Hicks.

[@dangerrayy]

Sure but drugs could be the death of creativity in terms of longevity. There is also age that changes physiology. I know this comment is 10 years old. How ya been anyways. I hope life is treating you

[@rastabg23]

I agree. I only listen to pre-millennium Tool. Anything after 1999 I wont fuck with. It Seems as though after Maynard had his son his music no longer sounded the same. They were one of the greatest bands of our time in the 90's. Better then Zep and Floyd in my opinion. It's not fair to compare any band to Tool in the 90's, simply because they were on a totally different level that even today is unmatched. Modern Tool is different, Maynards voice is gone and they sound nothing like the used to.

[@rastabg23]

"Sanction" is the way. Not Satan. Listen closely.

[@chinoETS]

Piss. Off.

[@dzamija922]

Get out of here.

[@JockoJonson17]

meh ...

[@crackbaby1537]

Original band wayyyyyy better

[@oceanhuntermilesy77]

Fuckn shit compared to Kyuss. Tool should stick to there own stuff. Kyuss is epic and is never replicated.

[@6noswad981]

😢😢

[@namasivaya5]

maybe you need some perspective man. sincerely…
