Vicarious (TOOL cover)

I wanted to try and reflect both guitar and bass lines during the intro which is why it's sort of a Frankenstein's Monster and not accurate to what is actually played.

[@SupermanNew52]

Jesus dude. All the covers are great but this one is showcasing all your talents in one song. We've got to get this channel to more people. You might be the most talented person I've ever randomly found on the internet. When is the tour lol.

[@ouchiedumpling2552]

You're singing the theme song of Reddit! 😅 I absolutely LOVE the way you did the intro, awesome choice! 2:49 Fantastic tone when you do the low notes at the end of "Neither the brave nor bold" ❤

[@peterspiker9960]

Watching things die from a distance… that’s totally Reddit’s slogan!

[@EDM179]

to play all those rhythms and sing as well 🤘

[@l.anthony9345]

Voice and guitar tone on point, I think this is the best acoustic rendition out there. Keep it up 👏

[@anthson]

I had to listen to it twice in a row. God DAMN.

[@andrenadeausimard9958]

Mannn the time signatures and being able to sing and play at the same time! Hat’s off man.

[@subspace85]

Another fantastic cover.

[@rbradst]

God damn! There's a reason there is a lead guitarist, bassist, and vocalist. Because they are each f***ing difficult on their own yet you absolutely crushed all 3 at once. This was an awesome take!

[@peterspiker9960]

Cheers mate!

[@stringringa]

best Tool cover yet

[@expcrystallfoxx2620]

commenting to support! this is so fucking killer man i wish i could handle an acoustic like you did. Also those vocals were perfect, no changes could be made!

[@ernestoemt7753]

man you are super talented, keep covering tool plz this was pure pleasure to my ears, amazing cover

[@adamb2005]

This is awesome. So talented!

[@cristianrafaelrodriguezman285]

THE MAN!!!!!! BEST COVER ACOUSTIC GUITARRIST

[@cruddCNC]

Peter, this is better than the original tool song. What an incredible effort!

[@michaelherndon9573]

You sir are insanely good. Ty for sharing your gift.

[@bradleyeskine9501]

just subbed killer tool covers man.

[@peterspiker9960]

Awesome! Thanks man, enjoy all the Tool covers!

[@Mattskito529]

Good god this is so impressive

[@Nicolas-wo8ji]

Great cover all around, like usual your version makes me appreciate the original in a new light. And man those last 5 seconds of guitar at the end are just amazing. So insanely crisp for that speed on an acoustic.

[@user-hq5fb3td1q]

Criminally under viewed and subscribed. Should be 100x

[@bobdejager4121]

OMF that was excellent. I was blown away by the guitar.

[@luchobuffagni1162]

Best tool cover ever

[@saxmansaxagrams6503]

Been waiting for this one! So good mate. So good

[@luchobuffagni1162]

Que talento hermano! No sé qué es mejor, si la linea de guitarra que hiciste, o si tu voz, o la capacidad para tocar eso y cantar a la vez, o todo jaja. Una genialidad

[@GregsGarage]

What a great arrangement! You killed it brother.

[@user-hq5fb3td1q]

Your voice hit another level on this one ☝️

[@user-vm5zh9uy8n]

[@craftyplayss]

6:04 OOOOF

[@kosz1104]

I rarely listen to covers until the end. But this one - wow, you nailed it! Excellent guitar skills while singing, and keeping up to all notes.

[@faknugget92]

Boom!

[@fatmanbhkbjorn]

Double-crikey, mate!!! ❤ this is pure artistry! What a mastery of the guitar complemented by your pure, angelic voice. I’m a massive fan!

[@Behem0thZz]

Dude.. what the F. That was very, very impressive.

[@kimballisms]

[@grandtrineproduction]

Wow 🔥⚔️🔥

[@paradigma101]

Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavor it happens to be like "Killed by the husband" "Drowned by the ocean" "Shot by his own son" "She used the poison in his tea" "Then kissed him goodbye" That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face, but with the other Stare like a junkie into the TV Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child Watches him die Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?" 'Cause I need to watch things die From a distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowin' Neither the brave nor bold Nor brightest of stories told We won't give pause until the blood is flowin' I need to watch things die From a good safe distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same, so Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drum on grave and ground Part vampire, part warrior Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal Sing to the death rattle La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie La-la, la-la, la, la, la-lie Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so impersonal Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies Much better you than I

[@peterspiker9960]

Some of my favourite lyrics of all time.

[@paradigma101]

​@@peterspiker9960 this is how I learned to appreciate Mayard's not-completely-clear diction (at least to a non-native speaker). First you get hooked by this Penrose staircase sequence and then, once the initial infatuation wears of wee bit, you remember to take a look at the lyrics. And then it actually kicks in.

[@arashtaheri9172]

dude, now i am a fan of you :))

[@lankyloon5906]

TOP TIER ❤❤

[@danielbisacco9374]

Insane

[@georgegrenfell8180]

Mate you 100% make the best tool covers on KZbin. Some of them like reflections I now listen to more than the original because of your beautiful vocals and stripped back production

[@peterspiker9960]

Awesome, that makes me very happy 🤘🤘
