[@90FirstGenPGT]

How i felt many moons ago when I discovered this back in 2002, even then i was late to the party!

[@90FirstGenPGT]

@Gene Bone I would say there's a mutual respect. It's a matter of opinion and my opinion is that neither is greater than the other, but very comparable in greatness. What's unfortunate is Kyuss doesn't make music any more... to my knowledge.

[@AnimalOnMars]

Old Toby very well said.

[@TheBomber15]

Only when I first heard this version I realised how much Demon Cleaner sounds like an actual Tool song.

[@threeleggeddukes2353]

I am sure that they inspired each other a bunch

[@mikey41rules]

@Gene Bone Why do you assume that?

[@jacobbuchanan4317]

mikey41rules tool only had a cassette they pressed and a under appreciated EP out at the time Kyuss was playing at desert parties. Around that time kyuss was doing their “desert rock” and I think they had songs out that dare I say where a little more phycadlic and technical but I think they toured together in the mid 90s

[@france7664]

The thing is that many of the other songs that TOOL covers sound alot like tool. There were probably a lot of these specific types of bands that have almost an identical type of music. But TOOL has been the most successful out of all of these bands

[@toastythecod9745]

I think it's more that they've just covered it in their own style really well. Danny's drumming and the the tone of the bass, guitar and Maynard's haunting vocals are what make it sound like Tool imo.

[@SamShadow93]

It makes sense they'd be into Kyuss. I could easily picture Tool doing a tour with them.

[@alkillsall4844]

+SloughMusic I think they did at one point in the 90s. Kyuss's Scott Reeder is in this performance.

[@cfsill]

+Al Kills All Hell yeah, space cadet was one of my favorite songs growing up...Reeder is a beast.

[@alkillsall4844]

Chase Sill I'm personally not a big Kyuss fan. I listen to some stuff that Josh Homme has done in Kyuss, QOTSA, and Eagles of Death Metal, but Demon Cleaner is really the only Kyuss song I know, and I only know them from Guitar Hero: Metallica.

[@dangergirldesigns5943]

That would be cool. This was the title of one of their European bootlegs, though, and this song was (obviously) on it.

[@jackodiamonds21]

They could but it would be a massive legal battle with Homme as he would want a part of the profits from the cover

I personally think that Descending was some of his best musical work regarding over amplifying your tension to create a great musical spot right there towards the end in his almost trans Siberian orchestra type musical cliche.

Just like the interlude that was added in Jerk Off, Adam can do so much with so few notes.

@@tiphotisted Word. Though I don’t love the so-called reprised version of J.O., if you haven’t already, check out their ‘Scientology’ YT video for that song (filmed circa 1992, I think). I think I’ve commented on it saying that that’s the best version…not to mention inspired the later versions. All in all, I couldn’t agree more. I suppose that’s why I’ve always loved Tool more than bands that shred.

[@DzoniMakaroni]

I thought it was a bass at first, then thought it's a guitar. Now that you mention it, it might actually be two basses. Unfortunately it's hard to hear because of the audio quality.

[@JaviBee]

(Having listened to this a LOT) I think you are right. It is very hard to hear, but I think there are 2 basses played throughout the duration of the song, and Justin is playing more or less the same bassline for the whole thing. Would also make sense as to why Maynard yells “Scott reeder!” At the end, if he’s the one doing the much more complicated finger picking stuff. To me It almost sounds like Justin either is playing at a much lower volume than usual or the levels in the mixer are just turned down enough for reeders bass to be the one you primarily hear? Definitely still unsure, but I would say 80-90% certain that what you and I described is accurate.
