Tool -Demon Cleaner

[@Ditchmonkey]

Wow - what a compliment to Kyuss! Kyuss must be the the most overlooked metal band ever.

[@Abrahamhamham]

ah...Kyuss...i have eternal love for their music.

[@mattmoy24]

Fun fact. The song's about brushing your teeth. Even Josh Homme has said that in interviews

[@athiu]

The main point is that Tool is paying homage to Kyuss and I think that's great. Kyuss stayed fairly unknown (compared to Tool)... that's what kept Kyuss pure and untwisted.

[@DARKerLIGHT88]

would like to hear a solid studio version of this cover...luv it!!...

[@insidious420]

If anyone could point me to a better quality version of this, I would be infinitely grateful... this has always been one of my favorite Kyuss songs, and to hear the great Tool cover it, is just awesome.

[@insidious420]

Kyuss & Tool are both great for what they are, no point in comparing the 2 when they're so different. That said, this cover *almost* sounds like it coulda come straight from a Tool CD, that's how good they infuse their sound into anything they cover.

[@Hero7641]

My favorite band playing my favorite Kyuss song :D

[@username40000]

That extra bass at the start is deadly. Them's a good version.

[@ZeSantaKid]

I just admire how Maynard can tranquil with his voice. Any song sung by him probably turns into trip to somewhere. (I wonder did he sung lullabies for his kids.. might be awesome. anyway.)

[@austenomar2218]

This is a Kyuss song by Josh Homme about brushing teeth... no joke

[@muhammadlee7334]

I've been coming back to this song so many times since finding it here. There really is something unique about this song, and this cover. Love Kuss and Tool!

[@F1ncH01]

The rhythm of this song is mesmerizing. Love it. makes me sway.

[@jun2san]

Amazing how they're able to incorporate two bass guitars in one song.

[@HydraulicSandwich]

now THATS a bass line

[@TheyRiseBand]

HydraulicSandwich Played with 2 bassists, here; Justin and Scott.

[@StrattenKlein]

any song tool covers is an instant classic in my oppinion fucking perfect

[@nickthelick]

There was an actual video to this on youtube years ago, and yeh, Maynard says "This is song by a band called Kyuss." Pretty sure he introduces Reeder too... ...god the amount of psychedelics I've consumed at Tool shows... such goooood times... =O)

[@jamescorvett]

i've seen Tool do several songs live they dont use on any albums. sometimes you just get lucky and hear one at a Tool show. Nothing compares being at the live show, in full 3D and HD. lol

[@albundie3]

i think this is a step up from the kyus version, however, no one besides josh homme could write such a song, complex with a feel of simplicity, and i feel tool upgraded it by adding in their style

[@Anoid2]

Tool is GOD, and Maynard James Keenan is my hero. Its a shame this song is only live. This is the best copy I've heard though. I think Scott Reeder (Kyuss) is amazing. This song introduced me to Kyuss and I thank GOD for that.

[@painless4you]

Tool with a Kyuss song it almost cant get any better.

[@shortcake371975]

Great KYUSS tune the TOOL covered! Love it!

[@canmoore]

wow.. a cover of one of my favorite bands, done by another one of my favorite bands!

[@gutsdozer]

I actually have no idea how I WASN'T into Kyuss back when they were around. I was into most of the early 90s "grunge" bands before anyone else around me, their sound reminds me a lot of early Soundgarden, and I know I would've loved them. I knew they existed, but for some reason I never listened to them. I think it's because they were always lumped in with the heavier metal bands on Headbanger's Ball, and I wasn't into that at the time. Now I wish I hadn't missed out.

[@thehenjini]

The guitar solo gave me goose bumps

[@JerryNapalm]

@Lisajo009 They don't worship satan, this band knows a thing or two about sacred geometry and how it relates to the mind and body. That's why you can FEEL the song inside of you.

[@Kerfuffleinahussle]

Always loved Kyuss and always loved Too, never knew one covered the other Well, this is awesome

[@Maynard0504]

I want a studio version of this :(

[@tfrosini]

I totally vibe with Maynard's sense of humor, even though it can push buttons and sometimes just be taken totally the wrong way. Just think he has a great sense of humor, regardless of rock n roll status...

[@JWW676]

I've never heard this cover before! This is sick!

[@hentajus]

dang... i'd give anything for a studio version of this song by tool

[@MrGrowsontrees]

Nice cover. Well done. =)

[@jcourn1]

@Vembumees I believe that exhilaration you feel is the marvelous stimulation of a hypnotic tribal drum beat.. i feel this song evokes a multitude of emotions as well especially under the guidance of the plant.

[@dank9637]

Rofl at the people who don't know this is a cover.

[@AndreasBrill]

+Dan K at least they are on the right page.

[@Invalidkvist]

The rythm changes the structural stones in my complexity and yet again makes both me and all else, absolutely worthless in too many ways. music, man..

[@shetarynitup]

only Maynard could do this cover. awesome.

[@edwin20096]

i personally think it's funny to read the comments and see people not really argue,but just converse and agree with each other and have their own opinions.right on.

[@kyussborn]

tool & kyuss are my life, and I listen to this shit since 17 years and the last part blows me every time again & makes me smile, For those who didn´t like this version dosen´t understand the best music on earht, I´m shure god Jesus & all the saints sit up there role a big buddha cheese and ckrank it up to 10 ...on march the saints

[@younggrasshopper3531]

Listened with headphones, but I instead heard it coming from my gut, or similar to real live music! God damn TooL is always a good trip

[@sidhartha1]

so glad someone else appreciates this part. I totally agree!!!

[@Elliemcel]

@Vembumees you are feeling the soul in the music.. that is something that tool has that most other bands dont.

[@43irek]

smart,deeply,nice ! alternative, art rock -super ! regards from Poland !

[@013spaz]

4:54 love that set thats badass

[@ouroborosexperiment]

It's always nice that Kyuss gets some love

[@phillipbailey2836]

thats exactly right dude.. thats why they're called "Tool", they are the "TOOL" that helps u build your own conclusion.. (thats how Maynard explained it on an interview i seen)

[@drummerboyfj]

i have the audio of this. thanks for putting it up man, i just wish i could see the video for it

[@lilburtonboy7489]

its very rare for tool to cover a band....they must really like n respect kyuss...

[@KycapLanew]

@AtheistLoveChristmas Scott Reeder was playing bass for this song at Tool's live performance.

[@salviab123]

when is tool going to release their new album?

[@go_rizzo_grow]

Demon Cleaner, its a cover from the band Kyuss. they have the bass player Scott Reader doing the bass for this one. Too bad they only played it live once

[@timsullivan1369]

it is funny how many people say "think for yourself, question authority" now that they have been told to do so... ?

[@NirvanaRage12]

I am a huge tool and kyuss fan and i think its pretty cool to know some of my personal heroes share common interests. Kyuss's version was better but im sure kyuss fans tool fans kyuss and tool themselves would admit that. BUT this is a really bad ass cover and people should stop arguing over it.

[@TheFloatingIdiot]

Yeah, Both Justin and Scott were playing during this song. Listen closely, you can hear both basses throughout the whole song.

[@go_rizzo_grow]

Thank you :)

[@miserableoutcast]

Wow,Tool covering Kyuss, holy shit!

[@Levaxia]

Kyuss fan here, Satan is the way part made me spit out my drink. Wish the quality on this video were higher so I could enjoy it properly.

[@go_rizzo_grow]

You're right dude. Awesome way of putting that.

[@AchtungA3]

Tool bows to Kyuss.

[@MARTREI1]

@TheJonnyHo It's about brushing your teeth. Josh Homme had some weird as thing with his teeth, and this song is about that. "shush them all away"= "BRUSH them all away"

[@halfpipefreak]

if you like stonerish songs and acoustic GOOD SHIT then listen too Kyuss - Space Cadett. it is amazing !!! just give it a try, you might thank me or hate me. but that's up to you.

[@go_rizzo_grow]

Nicely put.

[@susrev88]

at the of the video Maynard says 'Scott Reeder', so yes, he plays the bass (along with Justin, of course)

[@tomg5516]

Now that was a killer cover!

[@Killz0mbies]

This song was written by Josh Homme of Kyuss, and he said that it's about brushing your teeth.

[@ThamesTheBand]

I can't... Stop.. LISTENING!!!

[@toolnv77]

man they rock this song so hard!

[@FormerlyMrBean667]

Maynard's just fucking with the lyrics. He does that with every cover song they do.

[@MrAbn8]

this song is amazing

[@FromBeyond99]

Scott was there when they played this in San Diego (UCSD) on the mini West Coast tour. The same show that MJK got folded up and put into a duffel bag.

[@greencage]

this video keeps reminding me of the bands josh homme and maynard did outside of kyuss and tool

[@go_rizzo_grow]

The song on my computer is pretty loud when it comes to bass,but since youtube has the worst sound processing I've seen in a while you can't really get the bass notes or the clarity or any instrument.

[@bensashredder123]

Never truer words sir. Think for yourself, question authority.

[@eatower2]

My top two bands are Tool and Kyuss, and somehow I am just learning of this track??

[@hentajus]

Justin Chancellor and Scott Reeder on stage together? O.o Damn, listen to this... whoever said that having more than one bass player is overkill obviously hasn't heard this shit before. The twist that these two put on the original bassline for the song sounds fucking amazing. As a bass player... i'm shitting rainbows right now. Though great work on both guitar and drums also, not to mention... Maynard's vocals give this song a whole new vibe. I'd give up anything for a higher quality version.

[@SecretBarks]

Green and Tool flow great. Check out all their songs. Add wine or whiskey and completely lose your ego.

[@rabidworm]

Nice cover.

[@VeGa62095]

hellll yeah! I never knew they covered kyuss

[@MartyrLoserKing]

To change "I'm the only way" to "Satan's the only way" gives a big hint as to where Maynard stood spiritually. He could have sung it the way Kyuss sung it.

[@dalegov]

@AtheistLoveChristmas It might have been him, Scott has played the song with Tool on a few occasions live.

[@x106erFreakx]

just great!!!!!!!

[@toolaek]

both versions aregreat because both bands are marvelous...!

[@TheAcidDrip]

and yes scott reeder is playing bass, hes one of the best bassists out there. Hes up there with Troy Sanders, and Les Claypool.

[@lateralus528]

@Vembumees This song is fucking full of live energy. Makes me want to rock out.

[@gimmeshelter72]

ha! TOOL are the YES of our times ha ha . they are really good musicians, no denying that

[@Gilgamex]

@Lisajo009 I hate when people speak only of maynard. Its Tool, the message and feeling is mutual, and that goes for every other band. The singer is so often the most acclaimed, just look at the doors its so often about jim and to forget about the other bandmates views is idolization of a single person, an entity among the whole, the synnergy is the beauty...

[@go_rizzo_grow]

Likewise. I met Tool twice and talk to Adam on myspace here and there.

[@silverburst79]

scott redder from kyuss is playing bass on this track , with chancellor , theres 2 basses if you listen

[@MARTREI1]

@Lisajo009 This song is about brushing your teeth, it has nothing to do with Satan or whatever..

[@personal_beavis]

It says that they sometimes got him to play bass for this song with them, so it might be.

[@AmpSanders]

@Exlaxcookies you have to admit though...if there was any band worthy of doing a cover...Tool is it.

[@StrattenKlein]

i love the start of the guitar then it starts goin off only tool can produce such sound even for cover

[@zooropa19]

KYUSS!

[@AlchemistEve]

I was never arguing, nor over analyzing anything. Nor was I implying that the members of Tool were Satanists in any way. All I was saying is there are similar themes lyrically with many of their songs. There are also some influences from Carl Jung, Nietzsche, and even Christianity in their lyrics. Their lyrics have a lot to do with introspection and psychology, philosophies of many kinds, and religioous themes. I was not labeling them, but simply offering a comparison.

[@darkbrisco]

its awesome if you kinda realize it on a different page than kyuss' version. but i do dig the kyuss more

[@latheck2]

Kyuss is a Stoner Rock band, which original made this song try listen to "space cadet", "one inch man" and "50 million year trip" by same band, i think they give somewhat the same feeling. tjek out others stoner rock bands like: Fu Manchu, Cluth and so... stoner metal too is good, the band DOWN listen to "bury me in smoke", "hail the leaf" "lifer"

[@oopssorryy]

@rinabell06 the bass is so out front because it makes the song sound prime-al (sorry coundnt think on how to spell that one) and Keene is one of the best drummers of our time

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@rinabell06 The bass can never be too prominent.

[@Neosimix]

Tool is great!

[@susrev88]

I have this song in mp3 and i can give you a link where you can find this. It's on an unofficial bootleg album made by fans.

[@go_rizzo_grow]

I have the DVD for it but unfortunately its not going to be shared...
