Vocal Coach REACTS - TOOL 'Forty-six and 2' ( Kids Cover O'Keefe Music Foundation)

[@ESCGelfling]

Okay, here we go, the lead singer is Kala Rose (Scarpinski). She has done 6 videos for O'Keefe that I know of. In order of her age from youngest, Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine, Pull Me Under by Dream Theater, 46 & 2 by Tool, Sober by Tool, The Pot by Tool(version 2)(They did 5 versions in 5 styles with 5 groups of kids) and Crazy Horse by Black Label Society, after which she aged out of the program. She is now the lead singer of the band Saving Escape out of Cincinnati. In her band she has taken on, in my opinion, a Janis Joplin-esque style, very old school, hippie rock. She's definitely got an old soul, which just so happens to be the name of their first album. :-) Both Kala and the band itself have KZbin channels where you can find their music.

[@taliciasmith3958]

What's the program and is there a donation link? Is it underprivileged?

[@jeroen1989]

From a singing perspective I actually like cosmic love from florence + the machine the best!

[@Bear78420]

The debut album was pretty freakin impressive!! I use Spotify and it’s on there

[@shaun4210]

She also was the vocalist in a cover of Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin with O'Keefe. (She kills it IMO)

[@yodel_diploma2315]

@@taliciasmith3958 of cause! look at the original o' keefe video on yt!

[@terrahawk1977]

It was Curtis (drummer) who asked to do this. He is a big tool fan and they nailed it

[@heffatheanimal2200]

The drummer is seriously awesome. Nails the solo

[@Tamalan]

Curtis Moss. Has also aged out of the program but he has a you tube channel

[@NefariousPorpoise]

The drummer was the one who convinced them to do this song.

[@ryanw3658]

Nefarious, he knew he had the solo down and wanted to show out. Good on him for it, too.

[@PeTTs0n88]

Some props to the bassist as well! (That slide at 10:40 here is smooooth.) Kickass rhythm section!

[@jaegermeister1968]

The o‘Keefe Music Foundation should also be mentioned in praise. A non-profit organization from Ohio that gives talented and willing people under the age of 18 the opportunity to realize their dream. In the music summer camps, the children and adolescents receive a highly professional training including loan of the instruments and access to sound and video studios "completely free of charge". This gives children and young people from all social classes the chance. This NGO is only financed through donations and merchandising.

[@erkkiboy]

Why people aren't jumping on the current fundraiser is beyond me

[@chrishoopengarner2940]

The bass player is defined locked in that groove pocket , once you get there and have everything in memory your body just takes over and you get really expressive real quick

[@bradywilson3560]

Her voice did develop and is more well rounded. And IMHO the drummer stole the show in this video. And I really like the bassist.

[@nonagrey3422]

Yeah the percussion is amazing. The drummer is awesome but that bass player fucking nailed it too.

[@diode_wow]

They're all fantastic, but drum kid has my heart and soul.

[@tennseven999]

That kid rocks. He brings the same energy to every video he's in.

[@oscardiggs246]

Curtis Moss. Check out his channel, lots of good covers

[@enlightendbel]

He has my respect, the lil dude with the sticks has my heart.

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

It was said on the original video in the comments about "Drum Kid" "He beat them drums like they owed him money" I'd say that is spot on accurate

[@maryrollins607]

First time I saw this (years ago) I was blown away. I still get chills. Every single time. Close your eyes, no one would guess kids. The maturity, technical skill, … … … phenomenal. Adults can’t pull this off.

[@darquemode1165]

Always impressed by this performance no matter how many times I see it! Drummer is a beast! They all have skills, but Curtis is a bad man (well kid in this clip)!

[@davidbolton4930]

No he's a bad mother fucker that is a hard song to play and he fucking killed that boys z man

[@mpfiveO]

You should definitely watch Kala’s most recent and last music video for O’Keefe. It’s a cover of Black Label Society’s “Crazy Horse”. She was aging out of O’keefe’s foundation, But she is a fully grown up vocalists at this point

[@WrenchS13]

lead vocalist is Kala Rose who is now lead singer of the band Saving Escape.

[@martyanthony3419]

As a hardcore TOOL fan and soldier in the TOOL Army, I believe I have a right to say this: About those TOOL fans waiting to pounce on the slightest mistake, IGNORE those pretentious loons! The rest of the TOOL Army uses them as cannon fodder anyway...

I liked that you laughed when the drummers head started shaking playing so fast.

I was going to knock you for not hearing this version before but then you propped the drummer and bassist. They also rock this song and I appreciate you recognizing them!

Curtis Mosses drum breakdown has to be a top 10 all-time KZbin highlight!

[@95mudshovel]

I've been waiting for this video to be covered for a long time. these kids are INSANELY talented.

[@julio_scissors]

Bass player has that rock star stance. What a legend.

[@capstan50g]

I saw this maybe a year ago and was also blown away. Great talent and great teaching combine to create a magical recording. Great reaction, Ken!

[@Bongus75]

She`s actually performing with Saving Escapes which brings me to their cover of Alabama Shakes "Gimme all your love". Get on this one please

[@briankachelman]

I was blown away when I first saw this cover with these kids.... I have checked out a bunch of the O'Keefe videos here on YT and they really do, do great work for these kids. And thatbassist drummer, yeah, I am happy you mentioned them. So many times the drummer and bassists get overlooked. They really shined out in this particular cover!!!

[@steveszanto1581]

YES! Thank you for this reaction video. I've watched this Forty-six and 2 cover hundreds of times, they are so good and did this song justice. I've always wondered what Kala's hand signals were all about in the background near the end of that drum solo section.

[@debbieholoquist2059]

Gobsmacked is a good way to say it! Reactions like this are why I follow you.

[@darkogregec7503]

[@sevenduster27]

Amazing reaction sir!! Special Request: STAINED “something to remind you” LIVE! This mans ability to convey emotions through his voice and music is unparalleled. I think everyone at some degree has or can relate to this song. If you could please add this to the list, it’s so unbelievably touching and the last song of the night. Really hits home for all of us. Blessings from Texas

[@chrisnelson3691]

I am a huge Tool and APC fan, back to the 90's, this is so impressive, I think Maynard would be impressed as well, not to mention, Danny Carey, the drummer is nailing it, beautifully done, sounds like such an amazing place with some amazing people, love it.

[@TheAquaponic1]

Finally. Brilliant isn't it. I am so glad my children have turned out artistic like their daddy. Great reaction.

[@JoeBlythe]

I'm very glad to see you're still doing work Conan. I was a big fan of your late night show. Keep up the good work! I agree this was an epic cover, by the👍

[@Kobenoz]

Yep, those kids are impressive indeed! But let's view this from a different perspective; we must appreciate Tool more because they can produce those complex sounds with just 4 individuals!

[@eggstu]

Impressive by all of them, the drummer has some serious skills

[@Somasteel]

Saving escape also features Charolette from o'keefe on bass and a guitarist from there as well drummer Alex was recruited from their High School!

[@multieyedmyr]

The vocalist was (is?) a singer for a band but I don’t remember the name anymore. I’m sure someone down here will enlighten us.

[@sammiebray1661]

She sang the cover of Sober that O’Keefe did not to long ago, worth a reaction 😬

[@Masterfighterx]

The ''You could be mine'' cover on O'Keefe's channel is also great, both singers are great, but the girl, damn.

[@absolutezero6423]

The bass player was dialed in without a doubt.

[@brandoncrow3741]

Great video, Ken! These kids totally nailed it, and it makes me extremely happy to hear the next generations learning great music and keeping it alive! BTW, I think when Danny wrote the drum parts for this, they must've owed him money. 😂

[@CerealKiller7o7]

Great reaction! Now do the Brass Against version!

[@Drewrandomdude223]

Hey, it's a great cover (I actually prefer it to the original!), if you want to hear some more of the young girl on lead vocals here, she did a cover of crazy horse just before she left, her voice is a lot more matured in it, think you'd really dig it!

[@thetalantonx]

5:02 - Drunvalo Melchizedek has some interesting thoughts on the subject. It's that we're at the uncomfortable place between two steps in our evolution, where the older bloodline with 44 (22 pairs) exists without the internal chatter and separation of the ego we have, and that we will complete our journey at 48 (46 and 2) in a more evolved and integrated place. It's that integrity and integration that is the core of the song, as we are working through our Shadow content (all of Self not currently known or acceptable to the Persona/Ego). We have the work in front of us, and we have to face our own darkness to make it through. "I wanna feel the changes coming down, I want to know what *I've been hiding* in my *Shadow*". That's the ownership. 5:33 - You did very well, you got the core ideas especially in terms of the Jungian side of things. 6:56 - The drum kid and the bass kid have such a solid lock that I would expect to see them heading to Polyphia-like talent. 10:22 - Kala's journey with the O'Keefe Music Foundation has been impressive to watch. I think the choice of where she had the higher register and a breathy floaty sound on the first (Light) stanza of choices dropping into that more powerful place on the second stanza of choices (Dark) was spot on perfect. I choose to live and to grow Take and give and to move Learn and love and to cry Kill and die and to be Paranoid and to lie Hate and fear and to do What it takes to move through I choose to live and to lie Kill and give and to die Learn and love and to do What it takes to step through I split them out into the light and dark as the rearrangement moves into more Shadow-feeling juxtapositions.

[@AmberPearcy]

Kinda jealous I didn’t attend this school( or foundation) Haha. Glad to see you reacting to this.

[@karlbecker8775]

In case you're not familiar with the original song, these kids nailed it note for note. That's not easy to do. Awesome!

[@kriskat1521]

I have heard bands play this live in various bars from Michigan to Florida since the early 90s. None of them did it this good and this tight. I am not a musician, I ran sound, and this sounds dead on. She does her own version of Maynard and it fits perfect.

[@nonagrey3422]

The kid is a lead singer of her own band now. :) The band is called Saving Escape and they released a song a couple months ago called Get Mine. I highly recommend it.

[@imagzz4942]

My personal favorite of theirs is their cover of Pull Me Under by Dream Theater. School of Rock also has some amazing covers of Lateralus and Schism that you need to check out at some point too!

[@casandrabullock9497]

Brass Against does AMAZING tool covers as well.

[@Me-gy7yk]

It has been a couple of years since you did this reaction, and of few years more since they performed the song, but if possible I'd like to see what you think of the O'Keefe Foundation's cover of You Could Be Mine. The vocalists in particular of course.

[@dionshare7103]

Oh yes. Check out Crazy Horse - her last song with O'Keefes. You can see what she became.

[@docbob3030]

Kala Ros certainly evolved into a really great young talent 👍 Her video covering Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine was her first, and is so amazing, you will have tears in your eyes! Yes they have a few more TOOL covers, but Version 2 of " the pot" really showcases Kayla's evolution of her vocals 👍 Thank you for such an enjoyable channel 👌

[@evanspage5]

First off I am amazed at anyone that can nail Danny's Drum like and keep his time.. thats wild! And is it just me, or does she sound like flyleaf? Rock on kiddos!!

[@chrismidkiff2703]

She also did Pull Me Under/Dream theater

[@williamdeegan7840]

A few years later they covered SOBER. Her name is Kayla. I think she has her own band now or is in one. She's also a very good guitarist. Check out SOBER.

[@tylerbuckley4661]

Kaylas voice is great now in her twenties with saving grace her own music she plays guitar as well too

[@Rodzilla5332]

I’m just waiting. For you know what.

[@Ieeho98]

Ken, great reaction! I knew you were going like this when I saw that you were reacting to it. The singer Kayla had a band called Kayla Rose Band. There are multiple videos here on YT of them. Somebody down below posted a link to the band she is with now called Saving Escape if you want to check out how she sings now.

[@lukesmusic]

Hey Ken, here's the singer Kala from a year and a half ago. Pretty impressive growth.

[@tennseven999]

There are a lot of fantastic O'Keefe Foundation videos out there. My absolute favorites are their versions Tool's "The Pot" (version 3 of 5), and The Cure's "Love Song". Both also have absolutely amazing female vocalists. The vocalist in this one has been in a bunch of their other videos as well, including a great cover of Tool's "Sober".

[@Jarnlopin]

Chain of Fools and Pull me under with kala @ the helm are fun videos as well!

[@SethElliottII]

Last I heard, Curtis Moss ( (drummer ) has two bands now.

[@Drpwninflames]

Ken you mentioned , " amazing musicians and vocals ". I strongly suggest you check out the band Dir En Grey from Japan. They totally fit the bill. The band are extremely technical and the singer, Kyo, need not only to be heard, but to be experienced. I suggest you start with a version of Vinushka, either the music video or several live versions. My personal favorite is Vinushka Androgynous . As a vocal coach I'm especially interested in what you think of Kyo.

[@robynreiser]

The drummer is Curtis Moss. I don't know what happened to him later. He's a killer drummer.

[@cherniqhs]

She has her own band - Kala Rose. She has few more songs with the foundation. Other tool song and Crazy Horse by Black Label Society ... god I love those covers more than the original ( the umpf they put is right up my ally )

[@sabrinacle]

Curtis Moss is the drummer and he has his own youtube channel

Young people not totally absorbed by phones and video games. It takes love for the music and dedication to the practice to excel at this level. Love for the O'keef Music Foundation.
