lateralus live - The Pot (drummer cam)

[KIRSCH3D]

O__O...lets play that again!!! (:~

[SupremeBuffalo]

Haha I watched this whole video assuming it was actually Danny Carey and Tool, that was fucking incredible. I've actually been learning/playing this song for a month, I can really appreciate the effort this guy has put in.

[opiateofthemasses]

@SupremeBuffalo ha! thanks man, i guess that means we succeeded :)

[unicursalhex]

Incredible. That was some bad ass drumming. I guess Tool knows who to call if Danny Carey calls in sick...

[carpediemlask]

cheers m8 good drumming!!

[sickada]

crazy good man i'm seriously impressed

[millerkmd1]

brilliant drumming man, just excellent stuff

[josercolon718]

Wow so clean.

[Teejith]

It looks unnatural for a left handed drummer lol but he did really good

[chicochemx1]

bro you have talent  niiiice duuming buuut remember 2nd is the firts loooooooser woork on it

[opiateofthemasses]

@legacymate You do know this isnt danny carey right?

[opiateofthemasses]

@Romagical "THEIR", not THE.

[cJw314]

3 people are either angry he's not in their band anymore, or angry that they're not Tommy themselves. ; )

[Romagical]

@cJw314

what do you means hes not in the band anymore!!?!!

[paisteuser06]

could we get a gear list on this setup? or PM me that'd be better. 

[abatzkon]

incredible. im in awe!



[BumSkillet]

One of the greatest drummers in all time.

[fugazipythons]

nice drumming skills..

[zapor67]

awesome, great to see open handed playing out there... very fluent, great job!!!

[XDariXx]

awsome...he's playing lefty :D

[lovezpoptartz]

@XDariXx open hand (x

[logansdrums]

he looks like a EARLY daney carey and is fuckin sweet

[BassettAlmighty]

Best cover yet, without a shadow of a doubt. Great groove, very tasteful fills, brilliantly set out kit, the whole nine yards and then some... As said, great stick recovery! Extremely, extremely impressive.

[kenkiw]

easily the best drum cover of this song out there, nice recovery with the stick too.

[trippyfish]

China on the right's so damn salty!!

[dondondondonism]

Bad ass dude! Tools dynamic timing/polyrhythmic playing is truely hard to gain a feel for. I just got into them and have only figured out a minute ammount of Danny Carey's grooves. The band as a whole is just fucking sick, but I think Danny is the most dynamic member/best at what he does.

[glassroots1]

nice job!

[d15er]

best tool cover band.

[onthefarm88]

really great job man! i wanna see more of the drummer cam!!

[xMonach]

please dont tell me that's maynard.... it sorta sounds like him, but there are many voice cracks goin on

[dondude1204]

his drumstick gets PWNED 1:48

[BociftusPotions]

from one drummer to another, that was fucking fantastic.......dude kept it straight and tight, outstanding job

[butters226]

wow the singer sounds pretty damn awesome

[literallarry2011]

nice lefty

[lskit207]

I've seen these guys play live. Best Tool cover band I've seen yet.

[VicFirthkid22]

that... was... fucking...

SICK!!!

[jordan7741]

if it wasnt for you playing your hats with your left hand, i could have mistaken you for danny, same hair and everything! haha

but honestly, awesome job man, you are a very talented drummer to be able to play his stuff so fluidly and effortlessly, would be interested to see what you could do in a non-cover band! haha

[unicursalhex]

Fucking badass! What Kind of drums?

[xReinhartx]

In my opinion this is by far your best cover of Tool.

[eeobeeob]

I saw you guys play a long time ago in Tinley park, it was fucking awesome. Glad to see you guys are still playing. If i had a car I'd come out from the city and see you guys.

[Mrhashslinginslasher]

Fucking awesome. What kinda ride cymbal is that?

[phish71]

I love the stick play at 5:40.

[phish71]

1:50

[phish71]

stick at 1:50 is sick

[phish71]

stick at 1:50 is sick

[rjh1300]

all he needs is some pro tools and mandalas

[laydeezman217]

hahaha looks just like danny!

[AllYourFriendz]

@laydeezman217 Nah, Dannys bigger. lol

[KingAz86]

Nice Going!!! Good energy!!!

[Boxcutter7]

Did you seriously name your tribute band "Lateralus"?? Even "Arizona Bay" & "Tool Fist" are a little more creative than that. How long did it take you guys to pick which Tool song to name your band with?

[ToOlOGT22]

lol, and they even have the same guitar, and drum setup, and the same type of bass used on a couple of songs

[Adrenalinepump231]

Who gives a shit what they name themselves ass long they're good at what they do?

[jaropg234]

1:47

[jaropg234]

dobry jest,

bardzo dobry

[sampsonz]

wait his name is tommy murray.. that rhymes with danny carey. he looks like danny carey and plays like him. seperated at birth?

[Kozlen]

Finally people who don't SUCK MAJOR FUCKING ASS COVERING TOOL.

[savagefen]

This is Tool's back up band, just in case they all get sick before a gig or somethin

[Mainrollman]

freaking amazing!!!

[0Lewis0]

That snare sounds fantastic.

[rush1127]

Unreal, Increadible cover.

[imationlh]

Definitely the best cover I've seen on youtube.

[LegoEstereo]

i love 1:51... awesome man!!

[kingTOOL]

wow awesome drums had to check that it wasnt danny

wow man are u availible for parties ?

awesome whats his name ?

\m/

[FrankP1969]

the best cymbal sound from a Tool cover band around Youtube. Are they Paiste?

[opiateofthemasses]

Yes

[sparkles67]

@opiateofthemasses are you a lefty? playing a right handed setup?

[opiateofthemasses]

@sparkles67 im actually the guitarist :) I'm pretty sure he's right handed though.

[sparkles67]

@opiateofthemasses ya, zapo67 got it correct. he's playing "open-handed", kinda lenny white/ bill cobham-esque.

fantastic job.

[Ciekawsky]

Please, tell me what snare did you use for this record!

[opiateofthemasses]

It's one by Jeff ochletree

[reuterrage]

@opiateofthemasses is it all brass?

[jay13thstep]

I love the way you snap a stick and just throw it away and carry on like nothing happened... that would have destroyed me - id have lost all rhythm and crumbled into a sobbing pile of despair if that happened at a gig... nice one!

[thereisnotruth]

this is fucking amazing.

[Reasonist]

4:17 holy crap that was good. 5/5

[spiralout91]

Simply AMAZING!!! My favorite part...you play open handed!!! I'm working on that myself. You also lay into every hit as if it were your last!!! Kudos

[boothole312]

i've seen bands do tool covers before, and they're usually epic fails, but you guys do it fucking right.... he was nailing the exact drum parts. loved it!

[Euphazad]

You guys are really good. As a musician myself this type of playing really makes me smile. Love the drummer cam angle. Ignore the trash talkers and e-thugs. You guys seem to be playing these tunes for the pure enjoyment it brings, something a lot people forget. Keep rockin'.

[aleceiffel7]

you guys are bad-ass. i'd like to see you guys live.

do you have a gig schedule?

[cesarl83]

speechless!

[numbchucking]

Nice job man!

[TOOLbassplayer]

4:18 I SERIOUSLY creamed my pants. lol

[ERiiK98]

fuck i just pressed it and creamed my pants also lol

[Jarek117]

Oh noes stick snapped, lucky fan :D

[BleedingWalls420]

Good stuff, hope to see more of the band in future vids.

[sesstreets]

Seriously, opiate you make that cover band sound like dog poop. They sound alright, but god if they aren't fucking conceited to all shit.

Also, lefty les pauls look like ass, just pointing that out.

[ffcrazy]

fucking impressive

[ironcobra8]

damn hell the drummer sounds and looks just like danny, i thought it was him until i read the description. What kind of drums does he uses they sound spot on.

[karmapolice911]

The singer sound amazingly like Maynard. Your band is much better than the "official" cover band, Schism. Why does your drummer invert his hi-hat and snare hand though? I've never seen anyone play like that, but hell, he's fucking good anyway!

[Roldy23]

Open-hand. Takes practice, but the creative results that can come from it are awesome. Check out Travis Orbin's (shaftninja) to see the full potential of open-hand/open-stance playing.

[PeJota615]

I saw that Schism video you mentioned. Wow, what self aggrandizing pompous jerks.

[Adrenalinepump231]

More videos on the way? :D

[opiateofthemasses]

more vids on the way :)

[bchamorro]

I forgot to ask you something

what cab are you using with your Herbert?

[opiateofthemasses]

mesa recto 4x12

[bchamorro]

straight? slant? vintage 30s?

thanks!

[opiateofthemasses]

slant with 30's

[ManifestPanda]

you have more talent and incredible gear than most modern guitarists that i see.

i know why you like being in a cover band, but you could go so much farther if you werent just playing tool stuff. dont get me wrong, i love tool. but i also see so much potential for original stuff from you.

[unicursalhex]

@ManifestPanda Maybe he has a life and is not trying to "make it" and enjoys playing Tool stuff. Ever thought of that?

[ManifestPanda]

@unicursalhex i commented this 2 years ago, and it looks like i put " i know you like being in a tool cover band" so i wasn't bashing the guy, just wanted to see if opiate would ever branch out.

[02ep3t]

Awesome! The singer is amazing! Didnt you sell your Gibson? What are you using now?

[opiateofthemasses]

borrowing a 1970 les paul standard for now.

[nedak]

Pretty crazy your drummer plays open-handed.

[opiateofthemasses]

lol he does? He wasn't using his weiner again was he? I didn't notice...

[sesstreets]

Dude, you guys are all really good. Come to ny and do a vs against schism!

[opiateofthemasses]

Don't get me started on Schism. I try not to talk too bad about Tool fans on principal.

[nedak]

Really? I can name many on Tooltabs.

[opiateofthemasses]

Well duh they're a bunch 'o dicks :) But yeah Schism sucks balls. I should'a said I try not to talk bad about other Tool COVER BANDS on principal cause it sounds a bit conceited, but fuck it. Those guys are always shouting that they're the best fucking thing out there. I wouldn't mind it if they were any good, but as they sound like shit, it's kind of a slap in the face to us and a couple other TTB's out there.

[nedak]

Not sure I've heard them, since mos Tool cover bands sound horrid. Also, how could a person brag when they're not even playing their own music?

[opiateofthemasses]

Not so much bragging as it acting like bigheaded douches. I guess it's a subtle difference. anyway my buddy calls the the anti-Tool.

Paste this into the search box, since you apperantly cant post comments with video links in them anymore.

SCHISM @ Locobazooka '06 Stinkfist

[imusuallyhigh]

dear opiateofthemasses go fucking kill yourself. Stop imitating tool and write your own music. Get your own trademark guitar while ur at it.

[sicboi80]

useless and completely jealous comment. Troll moar plz?

[opiateofthemasses]

Nah, I'm good. I gotta admit, It's pretty fuckin funny though that all you've done with your account is bitch at me for playing Tool songs.

[bchamorro]

amazing

you guys all play great

the singer is really good too

[opiateofthemasses]

Thanks man!

[TBBucs]

Pretty smooth switching sticks around 2:05.

[jon121291]

these drum videos are great!

[fnkyfnky95]

awesome
