[sychly]

wow. was not expecting this to be as great as it turned out. awesome guitar work and the vocals completely caught me off guard. excellent job, can't say enough. haunting voice a bit, a little hurt. love it.

[jrtanne]

nice



[wowrazzor]

This is so awesome.

[Beyond13irthday]

Jesus. Only heard the first line and already knew you were amazing. Great cover.

[marquismyfriend]

akangell, could you tab this out? i love you adaptation. and very skillful with vocal and geetar combination! nice shot.

[YoutoobHatesRyan]

that was some good shit... nice voice.

[goodmourningglory333]

[davidshmail87]

You don't understand how happy I am that this video exists. Thank you so much for making this. Outstanding cover!

[Apos7le]

Wow, that was really good. Nice voice. Would love to see some tablature.

[misslaneygirl]

[MorbidlyVacant]

[MigelMeUp]

[metalYES12]

@MigelMeUp COONDELL! coincidence? i think not....

[MigelMeUp]

@metalYES12 THE FUCK?

[metalYES12]

@MigelMeUp LOOOOOOL



[upyanuts]

Dude... don't be afraid to let loose, you have the voice down really good, especially the second half of the song after the drums breakdown when Maynard just lets loose you can't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and just lose it. This is really good man and who is anybody to judge anybody else just like Maynard says... keep at it and spiral out!!

[Pravo13]

that's how you do it! that's the way you debate!

[discusherder]

nice job man, i like it

[Genercidel]

I think Ive just about watched all your Tool covers, I must say brother you are quite an artist. I'll quote another comment left on one of your renditions, " Its like discovering Tool again all over ".

[freeoww]

your videos always cheer me up when im most fucked up. thank you

[davemathis2]

very very nice man, well done.

[GunGod777]

@akangell what kind of guitar are you using, it sounds amazing!

[akangell]

@GunGod777 This one is a Taylor 812ce.  I wound up selling it and getting a 910ce, though, which I love.

[GunGod777]

@akangell Good choice, sounds great man.

[batmanz76]

And thank you sir

[phrankiesays]

this cover is simply brilliant.

[mope186]

"Rest your trigger on my finger, bang my head upon the fault line" Maynard is God. Does your girlfriend make you sing during sex :P

[264zn]

top work

[BoWeava]

Whaaaaat!! Pure sickness brotha!

[mytoobepa7]

yo man great job. any chance u can post a vid on how to play it? all the tans i find suck n i cant find any other good videos for it

[bbrodgers]

great cover!!! was expecting crap and you floored me!!

[huddl007]

there are some elvis costello hints in your vocal style, very nice

[eleineke]

Absolutely loved it.. Thanks!

[iesmidjtd]

this is my first comment here on youtube....but i think i fell in love with your voice my dear^^

every day i visit youtube only to see this video or right in two.

[HagbardCeline666]

Brilliant ... simply brilliant ... thx 

[JonathanHassall]

Favorited; 6 people clearly can't appreciate art.

[jaykenstein]

Great vox dude! 

[Asquared2010]

you have just sent shivers down my spine, holey fuck

[JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS]

good job dude

[misspapalla]

oh, it's a very good cover. Someone recommended it to me... at first I was skeptical, but after I realized that it is super! Congratulations, you have a special talent! = )

[reuterrage]

when I clicked on this video I thought I was gonna be watching, and hearing a steaming pile of shit!. Not the case. great interpretation!, you made it your own, especially the vocals. great job!!

[akangell]

@reuterrage Thanks! Tool stuff is fun on the acoustic, but they're hard for me to complete. hopefully i can get more up soon.

[bulletholebob2000]

@akangell Hey man I might have asked you this awhile back but are you up here in Alaska? I think dropped D on an acoustic adds much more depth than any pedal can hope to duplicate, great work man, love the covers! Long live Maynard!

[cod4TheDriver01]

you deserve GLORY. You have got talent. I want to tell teh World you got talent.

[akangell]

@cod4TheDriver01 Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it.

[MrBigDaddySweet1]

Your Tool covers are awesome!!! Please add more when you have time!!!! Can i request maybe Jambi... or H.... or APC's The Noose... or APC's The Outsider... or pretty much anything you cover will be good....Keep up the good work!

PS... Got any Incubus Cover's??

[akangell]

@MrBigDaddySweet1 Thanks for the kind words. I'll try and get some of that stuff up before long. I need to sit down and crank some more stuff out.

[DAC222]

bad ass man good job

[Deuceasterpiece]

Yo dude, great cover! have you any tabulature or was this all freeballin?

[akangell]

@Deuceasterpiece Thanks! I looked at tabs and then just kinda went with what worked.

[YourGod60606]

beautiful version.

[Draylan77]

Dude you KILLED it, again that twist in it is just freakin away, I have both your videos saved to my favorites.

[Miiro23]

awesome man. awesome.

[BerettaLaumman]

this is so very good!!

[paulien1980]

hello, when i listen to the song, and i hear the guitar and your voice i did feal so warm and nice. Verry nice playing. i have listen it more then 3 times. it is a great tallent you have.

greets from pauline

[ezemdi]

One word: You are BRILLIANT!

[ezemdi]

Two words: WOW!

[clipcalhoon]

[SnootchieBootchies16]

I've had a horrible night and just wanted to listen ti Pushit. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. Your talent made my night.

[akangell]

@SnootchieBootchies16 Wow, thanks. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[DonzeJ]

VERY VERY well done

[Rayizzle3]

this is so amazing. great cover.

[rabbitbreth]

Brilliant!!! you have done a fine job. I listened to it right to the end and thought ..fuck! !!how fucking wonderful....what a great way of doing it ....you put your mark on it ....a great song ..a great interpretation....an inspiration that this part of south west France really appreciates...Salut!!!

[akangell]

@rabbitbreth thanks so much. I appreciate the kind words.

[ATWitten]

favorite band, favorite song, excellent cover.

[akangell]

@ATWitten Thanks!, i'm glad it came out ok.

[Reasonist]

brilliant vocal adaptation/harmony man. * * * * * ~r

[akangell]

@Reasonist Thanks, but you know it's funny. I know I'm singing it differently, but I don't even really hear the difference between harmony and melody. I have a hard time with it. I just sing what my voice can do and sounds half way "right". :)

[calebd87]

Great job man. That was way better than I expected!

[trippnbilly420]

love the cover!!! soo pretty!

[fuleng72]

dude u killed it awsome bro!

[neveratrivers]

beautiful

[chibixaileen]

so soothing! wow...best cover ive literally seen for pushit.

[MadHatterDesign]

I like it a lot.. great job!

[IdoCarasso]

Amazing version. Loved the vocals. Really good man.

[sfarsitdeseptembrie]

I love you, man!!

[alzazello]

You are great man!

[karus888]

I could really appreciate this sat back with an ice cold beer. Do us all a favour and post the tabb detail in the info box or maybe just a clearer video so I can see propely.

[pugs2300]

got any tabs to that man

[pugs2300]

damn man i thought that was amazing...i liked the way you sing on this...i think it fits..

[bulletholebob2000]

Totally sick man. I really only rock my acoustic so shit like this with no effects boards or anything is badass. Am I to take it that Ak means your up here in The Last Frontier.

[thethreeheadedmonkey]

Rhythm on your picking hand needs work, but this is very cool. I'm giving you a five for the effort in any case; as Tool rhythms are a bitch to get properly.

[TheDarkSleeper]

Well, I have to admit... Not bad at all. U don't get to see alot of "push it"covers but instrumentally u totally nailed it. Singing ain't bad either, but u seem to be holding back. Thats kinda a shame...

Anyway, awesome job, 5 stars defo. Hope to find more from u online.

[akangell]

Thanks, I appreciate that. You're right about the singing, too. I wasn't completely ready to post this one but I got excited. I can sing it a little better now. Actually, that goes for quite a few of these vids.  Heh.

[abeladi]

Great job, Ive uploaded some Tool covers my self and I really enjoy your work.

[akangell]

Thanks a bunch!

[TheDustdreams]

Nice job man, seriously well done! But... be straight up with me, you dubbed your voice in right? It just doesn't sound natural judging from the distance you are from the mic and the echo effect on the vocals. It has to be layered! =) Either way, dope stuff. You should cover some APC like Sleeping Beauty or Orestes.

[akangell]

Hey, thanks. Actually, though, no. It's not layered. I was using a little Macbook with Garageband to record and after I recorded I just added the "live performance" effect which just adds a little bit of reverb. I was surprised at how well the Macbook worked. The newer ones don't have as good a mic in them.

[XxXAndrew21XxX]

Great job! This is my favorite song and you did a wonderful job. Just watching it I have figured out most of the song but some parts are hard to see. Could you send me a tab? Like I said it's my favorite, and it would mean a lot. Thanks man.

[akangell]

Email me and I'll send you a link to a tab. I can't do it in comments.

[gutaschlussel]

Great job! Loved it!

[akangell]

thanks!

[aboutagirI]

love your voice, great job man 5/5

[akangell]

much appreciated! :)

[24fastman]

Amazing job You should do alot more Tool....

[akangell]

I'd love to. They're not exactly the easiest songs to play with an acoustic, though. I'm sure gonna try and put some more up!

[positiveemotions]

hey are you really gonna make apc vids? if so please do 3libras first please

[hpsfl]

John Mayer, almost. Somebody tell him to cover this song!

[leishallama]

you sound like john mayor or whatever not bad

[kazchen999]

wow...

5/5

[monkeygrandma57]

wow! this was amazing! good job man

[bgctfleetsonly]

man, your voice caught me by surprise. good stuff.

[akangell]

Thanks!

[JosephineNZ]

i love it ... hope it u singin

[rankinctu]

beautiful (:

[zdunas23]

5/5

[acason4]

Cool man....I like how you worked the vocal into your "own" voice:) A lot of these guys who cover Maynard vocally on here are nothing more than impersonations that don't have their "own" voice they simply mimic:) I see you're a DMB fan, Tool & DMB are 2 of my favorites ever bro, keep up the good work!!Check out my vids if you have a chance....Thanks-

[ratamatatz]

your voice sounds a bit like the male voice of massive attack. :)

[spreadthevideohate]

fucking rediculously awesome.

my username says i have to say the following though...you suck balls.

[Dimebag08RIP]

I loved it man,it honestly made me feel good man. Excellent five stars from me anyway friend.

[trommelaffe]

i like it

[sdubbbb]

dude, great job. wow.

[Darkkorners]

dope homie, sounds dope

[maggniss]

dude it sounds like the real thing.

except the vocals but i mean maynard is the best vocalist ever.

you did really good though.

[Hyypia555]

Awesome did u work out how to play it yourself

[kevinbragg69]

WOW!!!, best cover on youtube, how did you get that reverb sound, it really livens up the volcals, great job man, i really like the sound!

[larissalonghi]

great job dude, perfect song!

[patbuck2]

Great job. Very few Tool songs sound good acoustic. You make this sound wonderful.

[TOOLGODDESSTT]

i like the fact that its your own rendition....very hard song to cover

[danzigz1]

I listenened to your guitar playing and was impressed before i heard your voice. Checked out your dave stuff, too, phenomenal job!

[Eliasoz]

Dude, you need to tab this for us poor people. I can only figure out so much by looking :(

Great job.

[jgrog74]

Very impressive.

[dublo7]

This is very impressive.

[shanbelew]

Akangell, hey man you've already it heard but thanks for doing this cover. Awesome. Would you mind sharing the tabs for this or posting them or emailing them to me? Thanks,

[llawevets]

someone PLEASE tell me how to download the audio onto my computer so I can have it to enjoy!!!

[RemusRomulus360]

"someone PLEASE tell me how to download the audio onto my computer so I can have it to enjoy!!!"

Google: keepvid

[selos69]

Fuck yeah man. Fuck. Yeah.

[psystar420]

its very good to see people still put a shitload of passion into the right things.

thank you very much man!

[YouShouldLearn]

This video deserves honors

[cainlee0817]

I'm a deeply devoted tool fan and I've checked out a lot of tool covers on youtube. You by far are one of the best, no one I've seen so far can express the emotion of tools music like you. You've earned a new fan.

[Voikdude]

Fantastic!

[linfaa99]

HollySHIT You're the best Dude!!!!!!!!!!

[akangell]

i'm glad you like it. thanks!!

[contactkelso]

FUCK YEAH! My new fav video!

[akangell]

heh, nice. thanks!

[houiri]

THANX

[thisisonesweetworld]

too much talent for one person!

[akangell]

i appreciate the kind words.

[pancakeycakes]

This is just so good. I've wanted to cover Tool for so long and you really set the bar high! You've won me as a subscriber.

[akangell]

thanks!  i'm glad you liked it.

[forty6andtwofan]

As good as you are i have no doubt you'll pull it off. Pushit is my second favorite. Got to see the Salival version live at a show!Never forget it. Wings and Jambi awesome live too.Keep ertertaining!!

[forty6andtwofan]

Have been a solid TOOL fan sense 92. No other band in my book and I must say you know your stuff man!!A++++++. Gonna check out your other vids.

[akangell]

thanks!!  been working on 46 and 2. One of my favorites ever, but man, it's tough on an acoustic solo. heh.

[HammerDave]

Can't wait for that, keep working on it!!

[Recovrd1]

Amazing...that is all that I can say. On all your vids. You are awesome man! Great Cover of my fav version of my fav tool song. I loved what u did w/ it. WOW

[irival]

Great voice and great audio.

What are you using to record?

[akangell]

thanks. i'm just using a little Macbook and the built-in mic. It'd be a lot better if the fan inside the Macbook didn't start going crazy half way through every song I record. I just got a new one and I'm gonna get some better equipment. We'll see how it goes.

[camster79]

dude i think u did a fabulous job with the song. it is my favorate of all tool songs. people who respond negatively to this vid are fukn stupid they wish they had the talent you do keep rockn good choice of songs to cover. hard to cover tool

[akangell]

yes, they're all tough. lol.  i'm glad it came ok, thanks!

[Recovrd1]

You're vocals supercede anyone elses I have heard in a long time man. You are incredible. The negateive comment makers have NO idea what they are talking about. You sir are pure talent. Great rendition of one of the greatest songs ever. Have u considered doing Nutshell by AIC? I think that u would do it justice, get back at me if u can.

[akangell]

thanks! i never have tried anything by AIC. I'll take a look.

[No1Emberson]

I redid this song when the box set first came out. It still remains one of my favorites. I love most everything you do man. Never ever quit, your in it for life now. HA!

[akangell]

Heh, sounds good to me. I just hope I can start improving a little quicker! :)

[No1Emberson]

You said you learn from tabs and youtube videos but you still manage to put your own twist on it all. I think your going to do just fine these numbers just keep getting higher! Keep up the videos man you have allot of people learning from you right now. :)

[riley180]

I don't get why some of these comments are so nasty. We are all tool fans. This guy is just expressing his fondness for this song by singing it. Is that so wrong of him? It is different. Its Interesting! I like it.

[akangell]

I'm glad it came out ok for ya. Thanks!

[Pickymcmlxxxvii]

I am a fucking huge Tool fan, and I love the salival version of this and I think this is awesome, as said below, this is a great interpretation. Have you finished the song? And if so do you have an mp3?

[No1Emberson]

Good version man. You have a good voice.

[cooper9934]

I really liked it man. Don't pay attention to the knuckleheads.

[cloverdalepunk]

This is great, voice was good, guitar work was alright. Let's have the whole song next time :P

[barrybar22]

very good job man, i like ur twist, props

[akangell]

thanks!

[wotg]

Don`t mind the haters Akangell. keep it up. I really liked your interpretation.

[akangell]

thanks, i'm happy to hear it.

[bredding1203]

No song ruined indeed. Tool is all about interpretation. I think this is a great rendition. Well done!

[akangell]

appreciate ya!

[yell0wledbetter]

No song ruined here.

[akangell]

i'm glad. :)

[tofster666]

Well done my friend, conveyed it beautifully.

[akangell]

thanks

[monoxidelinux]

This rendition was absolutely horrible. Sorry, but you completely kill the emotional audacity the song is supposed to imbue. Normally I'd be fine with "rediscovering" a song in your own eyes, but this is plain bad.

[akangell]

i'm sorry to disappoint. i hate to ruin a great song.

[LoveLineATCS]

Your comment was absolutely horrible. Sorry, but you completely kill the enjoyable environment that the youtube comment list is supposed to imbue. Normally I'd be fine with "douchy" comments, but your comment is plain bad.

[monoxidelinux]

So be it.

[Beastly848]

get over yourself....seriously.

[cyanic11]

You're a fucking child. Take that as a fellow Tool fan to another. You obviously haven't put into perspective anything Tool speaks of.

[f0re1gn]

Dude. I had the mp3 of this version of the song, but I lost it. It is simply one of the best TOOL songs. Ever. Good job on it.

[zulu650]

good, but you could try to sound like maynerd

a little more.good guitar thought 4/5

[lalalalavalamp]

I disagree,

I like that you found your own way in this song

[Maynard0504]

im doing acoustic covers of tool songs myself, but i cant sing (my voice sucks) :/

i got no video of it, only recorded it. i covered sweat, lateralus & no quarter...and soon pushit (the video inspied me) :)

[fukup182]

Fuckin hell man!!! AMAZING!!!

[dmtrealm]

omg i totally just teared up...wonderful

[fcusmai]

Realmente muy buena interpretación.
