What If Tool wrote Master of Puppets

This time I've aimed for something new and chose Tool.
So, I chose Master of Puppets as if Tool wrote the song.
There were a lot of comments where many of you suggested Tool style, so here it is!
Enjoy!

This really made me think, Tool is our generations Pink Floyd. Insanely talented musicians who just have to make every song insanely complex and long long long. Love that it ended up a 13 minute song, that's dead on.

[@briankerrigan3529]

You are definitely right.

[@__belial__]

Tool isn’t super complex, it’s just different time signatures. I’m not saying that to downplay tools musicianship, it’s just not “insanely” complex

[@beelzebob23]

Ive always thought TOOL was metals version of Floyd.

[@juliusseizure324]

I’ve heard SO many people say the same thing over the years. It’s very true, honestly.

[@TheLemonKiller]

Floyd when pulled apart you found is really simple but seems to have a lot going on. Tool is pretty much the same. So, accurate

I came here after watching your ZZTop does KillEmAll video and man, mad respect to you for how you approach these. There are so many "X in the style of Y" videos which are just basically taking X and adjusting minor details to sound like Y, but this here is honestly on a whole another level. Well thought-out and executed, this is a great example of actual synthesis between one artist's material and another artist's style, crating what is basically a self-sufficient piece. Honestly, simply a great thing you've done here, kudos to you and keep 'em coming!
