Of course you can compare Maynard and Chester. You can't just say objectively who's better. You can only say, if you like one version better.
For what I hear, Chester sings it more while Maynard is slightly more talking to whoever the song is adressed to. I prefer Maynards version.
And I don't think that A Thousand Suns is particularly bad. The progress of LP is just weird. It's like they all just said: Hahn, you produce whatever you want, we'll go with it.
I meen seriously you cant compare them, they are both great singers, its just about different styles. As a artist i think Maynard is better, but as a singer Chester is not worse than Maynard, its just comes down to what kind of music you like..
Damn i cant understand how people who listen to Tool can be so narrowminded?
Great Cover! Good Job Chester, not the perfect song for you, but very good cover!
I laugh at everyone who engages in Chester vs. Maynard debates over this.
Billy wrote the song, he can do whatever he damn well pleases with it.
If he wants to get with Richard Cheese and do a lounge act version with Britney Spears on background vocals, that's his choice. Not saying it's a good idea, but no one could stop him if wanted to.
I dont like Linkin Park but Im not a Tool fanboy, (like tal51), so this was pretty cool. Nothing beats the original. You cant bash on this just cause its Chester though, It still takes talent to do what he does. Ashes Divide can appreciate that y cant u
i wish i could sue each person who agreed and enjoied the fact that that damn chester "sang" the song... its so obviuos that maynard is way better. its an insult the song
Man, I have to say he did a great job with the screaming... But... well, it's too much sweetness for a singing in this piece... It's like a child saying "fuck you" XD
narrowminded? im a tool fan!! how CAN i be narrowminded??!!??!!
negetiv? did i heart your precious soul?
who are you to say that maynard is the best artist in the world? mister know-it-all... im angry because i see it as an insult and its a disapointment for me that a song by apc is being played with him...
@concantenation it isn't "wrong", if you want to hear the exact same notes, there isn't just one wrong, i'm sure of that. Maynard live never sings it with the same notes. I thing almost none singer do it exactly the same, and it's not wrong, they are not machines. However, Chester loses tempo cause the rythmic is difficult, but i like his version anyway.
can maynard sing given up? :-s

billy writes the instrumentals when it comes to the APC work, and probably his own vocal parts. maynard writes his own parts as well.
