Forty Six & 2 - Vitamin String Quartet Performs Tool

[@fierywomanpacnw7004]

You guys make this 70-year-old professional classical musician want to play music again ... thank you !!!

[@thekimfilez]

Have you listened to the original song by Tool before? If so, that's awesome. I don't know many 70 year old Tool fans.

[@fierywomanpacnw7004]

@@thekimfilez I hadn't until you suggested it -- so I did -- mind blown -- whoa: the words! It seems almost Middle Eastern to my ears. Thank you for caring to suggest! xoxo

[@thekimfilez]

@@fierywomanpacnw7004 You did?! That's amazing! Yes, their music is very progressive and almost tribal. There is so much metaphor and meaning behind the lyrics as well. The time signatures are wild.

[@xKapnKrunch]

@@fierywomanpacnw7004 I suggest listening to Tool - the grudge Then listen to Vitamin Strings version of it, absolutely breathtaking. The song was clearly written with depth you just can't hear in the rock version of the song. If you can even call Tool rock. They are their own genre in my opinion.

[@fierywomanpacnw7004]

@@xKapnKrunch Thanks! I'll check it out.

[@TortugaTavern]

Turning Danny’s solo into raging strings, awesome!

[@coleberggren1346]

I was totally waiting for that.... Glad they jumped in! lol

[@erkkiboy]

I Don’t understand why This cover does not have more views. This is amazing!

[@BobGermanovich]

Because not enough folks know how amazing this song was when it first came out let alone when these amazing people covered it

[@bonjohn8766]

This just plays to my old soul. The emotion in every note. The fact you can hear they lyrics from the strings. How comfortable you all look performing this. I cant say enough positive things about this one. This should have a million views by the end of the week!

[@ericsteinbach7706]

Big Tool fan! I'm not usually a big fan to these sort of covers. This one, though, is amazing! I thought, at first, that it needed some kind of percussion. I was completely wrong. The tension created by the choice to divide different vocal/instrumental passages between each musician made this so interesting. It produced goosebumps! Great Cover! Thanks

[@brunofaustino2795]

I can't speak......i only can ear!!!!! Fantastic!!!! Playing this great song from the best band for me in the world!!!

[@swoopsta]

Absolutely brilliant! This draws out the emotion of the song.

[@brentfoxguitar345]

This is magnificent. Do more of this please!

[@olorin4317]

This is the version I always knew could exist but had never found. Thank you for making it a reality.

[@MrGreendayzed]

Only 22,900 views on this gem. Guess the tool army hasn't arrived yet. You guys should also do Right In Two.

[@danhitchner]

I'm here

[@amyolsen9801]

Tool Army will arrive.

[@mikehaslett3738]

Poetry in motion. Controlled chaos. Beautiful rendition

[@thing12games44]

The only crime is that this isn’t at over 100k views yet. Incredible performance! 💙🤘💚

[@pierrickaubel2875]

What a surprise.! Absolutely brilliant. I can hear the voice through your strings too. Just a little rhythmic section and this will be just perfect for my ears ;) I'm a French little guitarist but the music is an universal language and I can hear you ❤️

[@benwechter6488]

Me listening to string quartet Tool: 🤘🧐🤘

[@raphaelp.2321]

Literally laughed out loud at this one, thank you haha

[@michaelkilgore]

Had to comment twice my heart was pounding by the end

[@cognitive-disonance]

I used to be in a band and we covered many songs by Tool. Can't hold a candle to this. Well done

[@kittylighthouse]

Wow!!! Perfection! You had me hanging on to every note!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rozmanovitch8643]

Beautiful, goosebumps

[@SkottiKimble]

Amusingly, this is what's caused me to pick up the cello again, thank you.

[@FreeAdvice4All]

EXCELLENT! BRAVO! 👏 👏 Reminds me of an old Maynard interview where he said his voice was just another instrument in the band (I'm paraphrasing)

[@edrueter9]

When you try to tell people that Maynard's voice is just another instrument in Tool, and they don't get it, have them check this out.

[@RyanOfGilead]

Just.... just fucking brilliant. Excellent job.

[@ChrisCopac]

Your stream link for Spotify goes to an older Tool cover album that doesn't have this cover of Forty Six & 2. Will this rendition be available for streaming sometime?

[@vitaminstringquartet]

Thanks Chris! We've fixed the link. It is most definitely on Spotify!

okay but as a musician who loves tool music, yall got no clue how hard it is to represent D's vocal notes on string is.

[@yoakeroro6645]

I'm not usually a big fan of TOOL covers 'cause they kill the spirit of the band, but you guys nailed it. Impressive work

[@kellyth3man]

I feel like if this was played any other way, it would be modernized.

[@Lateralusaint.]

[@amyolsen9801]

I know the pizzas fit. Tool army.

[@hongcello5346]

Cellist looks like Jack black

[@vitaminstringquartet]

He gets that a lot😂

[@ambiention]

This piece only holds up if you already know the original, and even that's debatable

[@paonek1]

I rather lisen 2 da iland boyz!!!!

[@apatheticaesthetic.]

I love tool sooo much and you guys do them sooo much freaking justice!!!

[@djksfhakhaks]

Us against climte change

[@sportsfix6975]

All these orchestra renditions use an instrument to imitate Maynards voice.....although TOOL composes the music without any thought of where lyrics would fit in

[@7null]

Amazing but way too many cross cuts... Visually not appealing

[@ZodDamn1t]

Yeah, that's not how it goes.

[@jakewaltz9996]

Pardon me for cursing please but that was fucking awesome My favorite Tool song I met Maynard James Keenan in a bar years ago He was totally cool
