  • Created YouTub account just to say that if you've ever heard Maynard talking, he's kind of "nasaly" (2:11 for example). Probably sounds so much different because he's mostly whispering using a condenser mic (Ala Brian Johnson of AC/DC) instead of his full vocal style using his regular weapon err mic of choice a regular dee old dynamic Sure SM57.

  • Agree with nedak. How could anyone mistake this for either MJK or Manson? Go to ANY of their other songs and compare. Herp derp, folks. Herp derp.

  • People seriously thought this was maynard? HAHAAHAHAHAA. Anyway, it's still good. But he's not singing it clearly.

  • Maynard is flawless. Its definately not him... It's some dude covering it, thats all.

  • This is Maynard, you dumb asses. Go choke yourself.

  • Honestly I dont think it is MJK because of a few times he falters...its still a good cover good job bro...so close

  • I was excited to hear another version of a great song, but this is total shit. I wish I had never clicked on this garbage. They completely stripped this song of all the emotion and anger and it blows!

  • It's way too soft. It lacks the "anger" of the original.

    Hey, you should cover something from cannibal corpse! :D

  • This is so good.

  • Sadly, only my girlfriend and I will know who really did this song. :) (p.s. you're all wrong. hahaha ~sturrs up the trolls).

  • To the ppl who appreciate this regardless of who sings it a bug thumbs up. to all the others GTFO and go suck that nasty faggot maynard off. i mean wtf? MAYNARD? nice name bro. Though it REALLY sounds like manson is it too farfetched to believe it is? Look at the history. oh and everyone sings like shit sometimes. <3

  • Someone said Maynards vocals surpass this any day... WRONG! Maynards FARTS surpass this. Don't even compare this off key the entire song, whispering little bitch "singing" to maynards. Any TRUE Maynard fan would tell you from the first breath this isn't Maynard.

  • @MordecaiZ28 its a good cover stop being a total asshole

  • @TheNineinchsnails I'm guessing you're the talentless piece of shit that's singing this fuckhole of a song. It's a horrible cover.

  • @MordecaiZ28 I bet you think you are cool for being a asshole on the internet

  • @TheNineinchsnails I'll be an asshole to your face and knock some fuckin sense into you.

  • let me die...

  • this is the best shit i ve ever heard. the guy who sing is unknow.

  • This neither MJK or Manson...you have to be fucking retarded to hear the resemblance.

  • @nedak this is maynard. 

  • This is fucking rubbish

  • Horrible!

  • This doesn't sound like Maynard J. Keenan at all. Just thought I would share my two cents, even though it's been made clear that this ain't Tool.

  • This is just awful! This doesn't capture the mood of the lyrics nor put a new spin on the original version. and the guitart playing... gimme a break

  • it makes me laugh people think this is maynard =))

  • it's maynard. 

  • I member downloading this years ago and it was labelled Terrible Lie (Tool Cover). Which was funny, because i dunno how someone could fucking think this is Maynard.

  • nope, i can't believe people can think that this is Maynard... Maynard's vocals surpass this any day!

  • This song has the same melody as "The Scientist" by Coldplay. Hah.

  • @SukiWukiDookie you mean Coldplay ripped the melody from this. Because that's what Coldplay does. and this song has been around for over 20 years.

  • @SukiWukiDookie coldplay sucks so bad. 

  • Comment removed

  • THis Is Neither Maynard Or Manson.. Im Sorry Ut Neither of them sound like this ESPECIALLY MAYNARD hahahha

  • It's by the guy from Tool.

  • It's obviously Justin Bieber.

  • this is maynard you douchbags

  • ))))))

  • hell, this song needs more aggression and power. Playing Terrible Lie acoustic is blasphemy :p

  • @LingLingX8 You know this song was awesome when it was NIN but these guys made it better by using their emotions to show what the song really means...

  • It acutually is on an unrelesed album but it Maynard solo! Not Tool or Manson. But it is for a fact Maynard!

  • Even though i KNOW this isnt Maynard nor Manson, i still think this song sounds good either way.

  • Comment removed

  • @IWillSexU oh whatever... if it is YAY for him. if it isnt YAY for whoever did it. you dont need to get all defensive saying that it is for a fact when you dont actually know that it is him. okay. so shut up and stop fretting. its not like im commenting on everything say that it is or isnt him. so just shut up.

  • Who the fuck thought this was Manson, that doesn't even begin to make sense.

  • You should be reported for posting this piece of shit saying it's tool or manson. You are the biggest duesche bag in the world. You need to hear this from somebody. I can't stress enough how horrible this is. Are you deaf or just stupid. Do the world a favor and GO KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha hahahaha hahahah hahahaha

  • @mattzoni1 you should probably learn how to spell "douche" before trying to call someone one. it's really not that complicated of a word. just sayin'.

  • @mattzoni1 Apparently you have no idea what life truly is.. NIN was awesome this one is better when you get older you'll understand

  • You suck bad. And for everyone even thinking it's half way descent, really think about what your saying. This is horrible. I've never heard a bigger pile of shit in my life. This has got to be a joke. Are you deaf?? You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to trick people in to listining to this utter pile of SHIT!! Matter a fact GO KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This sounds like Placebo's vocalist.

  • @BASEfuckingLINE No way!

  • wow you turned it into a pussy song.

  • to make an end : this is tool

  • Guys I just learned this was song is a cover done by Justin Beaver, not Maynard or Manson.

  • rofl this is not maynard anyone who has listened to tools first album can distinguish this!

  • singing? this is not maynard singing so shut up

  • this is not maynard or manson. it's an okay cover but maynard and manson are WAY better than this.

  • @MelodeathMetalcore i know XD thats y i did it

  • coz i just wana do this....maynards vocals on this song are amazing

  • i like this version more than the original one..

  • I hate to even get in this stupid debate but it is Tool from thier Rarities and Covered album. Also featured on that album is a great version of No Quarter (zeplin). KMFDM also covered Terrible Lie you should check that out! lol

  • @spanielmom93 Thank you for teaching all these no lifes a lesson. It absolutely is tool. (maynard) Everytime I pull this song there's a bunch of idiots claiming that this is spooks ill. or next month it will be someone else.lol

  • @nothingfeel99 It's clearly not Maynard. Sounds nothing like him.

  • Comment removed

  • @bradlom80 - its not Maynard either

  • im glad i fell for the "its maynard" myth.... this song is freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!! :D

  • its not bad but it's definatly not Maynard and manson is a shitty singer this is better than manson

  • @Sappy22889 don't be stupid this is manard

  • Thank you GothenburgMetalhead for taking the time and effort to finally END the debate of who is singing this song. As you can clearly see from his/her video response the Artist singing this song is Spooks Illustrated seein that they have a website listing this song as theirs you can check for yourselvs.

  • This is off a Manson album filled with cover songs named From Highway to Hell... If this were Maynard you would know it without a doubt thinking it might be someone else...

  • LOL this is NOT Marilyn Manson OR Maynard James Keenan

    PROOF: watch?v=8f5c7k1gJSw

  • Hey lineaea1, I agree with you; it doesnt matter to me who's singing this song, it is one of the best covers ever <3 Thx for psoting it and Merry Christmas! ^.~

  • You guys are REALLY retarded if you think this is Maynard! Granted this is a great rendition of this song but, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL Maynard would reduce his vocal capacity to the amature stumblings of a "kid" who got "lucky"! Besides if you listen to this CAREFULLY you will hear that it is not even his magnificent diaphramic beltings (as further proven in 3:29 and onward of this video). WAKE UP!!! Nice song though!

  • who the fuck even started the MANSOn thing? this is obviously Maynrd. however u spell it. obvious a fuck to me

  • Well if you listen to any of Mansons songs, you can tell this isn't him, derp. Obviously not Trent. But very well could be one of the numerous band mates or just Maynard fucking around when tapeworm was going on...because it does sound like a tacky version of his voice. Probably MCR though, lololololol.

  • And, incidentally, i totally agree with everyone who thinks my voice is lame. But, gimme a break, i was like, 16 at the time. Had I known the tune would have lived on for 11 years, i would have done more than one take.

  • I thought you voice was ok. I would love for you to re-record it though. Do more takes and fuse together the best ones. You know, all that studio magic mumbo jumbo. It would be awesome!

  • I call bullshit mate

    I know its neither, and it was a dude on his own, but we need more proof?

  • lame? r u kidding me dude? you call your voice lame when u actually got MILLIONS of people honestly believing u r Maynard James Keenan singing this?

  • This is neither Manson nor Maynard. It's ME. I recorded this back in 1998 at my friend Darcy's house when we were in a pseudo-band called Spooks Illustrated. I can't believe it's made the rounds on the internet ever since. Bizarre. Completely blows my mind. So yeah, end of debate. Not Manson, not Maynard; Criss Wolfman.

  • tha shit. stop the comments here, bc thats all that cab be said

  • not tool.

  • This is Spooks Illustrated - Terrible Lie (NIN cover)

  • #10 is listed as "NIN acoustic cover from 1988". "Terrible Lie" was first released on NIN's album "Pretty Hate Machine" (1989). In 1988 Brian H. Warner didn't even think of making music by himself and wasn't able to play any instrument. The recording quality is better than anything that Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids had recorded until 1993.

    This "cover" is a hoax and was not performed by Marilyn Manson

  • another note, of what i found.

    Terrible Lie"

    "Terrible Lie" is often credited as performed acoustic by Marilyn Manson. The song was in fact performed by Spooks Illustrated. It is a cover, originally written and performed by Nine Inch Nails in 1989.

  • it's DEFINITELY someone ELSE!!!

    if someone said it's maynard or manson they don't have ears

    fantastic piece

  • WICKED version of SONG!

  • I LOVE this.

  • maynard is always drunk and he'll never sing something like that xD

  • uhm,...well...i think tool would never have done something like that. never. just listen to that shitty improvising at 3:23

  • i think its james blunt

  • this is manson.....and that rigth, .... anyone who knows Tool would know this isn't Maynard...and he is great too.....but the voice of manson is really peculiar

  • what if he was drunk

  • Rootwitch right on....without some kid in his room....NOT maynard

  • Comment removed

  • How could it be from 1988 anyway? Pretty Hate Machine was released in '89.

  • Marilyn Manson

    At Satans Request

    Terrible Lie (Acoustic NIN Cover From 1988)

  • this is definitely not maynard. Maynard's voice is WAY deeper and i have this song as an mp3 but can't find the info for it!! I'm just ocd like that that i have to have all of my stuff organized and named correctly.

    I have it under "tool" just because i don't want it to be "unknown"

  • it's clearly not maynard or manson & quite frankly it's irrelevant any real music lover would appreciate the song 4 wot it is n not who does or doesn't sing it

  • anyone who knows tool and apc can tell this is maynard

  • Funny, I was thinking anyone who knows Tool would know this isn't Maynard, but some dude in his bedroom doing a pretty lame Maynard impression with some pretty bad recording equipment, and sloppy acoustic playing.

  • actually, i am SURE this is the Tool acoustic cover. rapidshare it!

  • Who the hell sang this? Manson? Someone tell me please.

  • Tool does a great acoustic cover of terrible lie, sounds much like this!

  • no one can agree because no one fucking knows. i have it filed under artist unknown, along with the mysterious industrial cover of 'like a virgin'

  • there's no way this is maynard, not even a chance, and it's not marilyn either, maynard would sing it very differently too, i think, but it's still pretty good, i enjoyed it.

  • I think it's pretty sad that people keeps saying that this is Maynard when you can look up and see that Manson did this on his "At Satan's Request" album.

  • This is not Maynard but it is very good.

  • maynard or no maynard, this is amazing. -.-

  • this is an amatuer singer, who just happens to be talented it all. Its not maynard or anyone else

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Jamma!

    If you cant Appreciate Music enough to care, you can stick your head up your non careing ass!! =D

  • Don`t be stupid. I dont mean you are, but if you waste your life discussing about bullshit, you are gonna have a horrible death,

  • There's no way this is maynard

  • yeah, he's trying to sound like Maynard but there's no fuckin way. I don't even think this fella is that good.

  • Love this version so much better, love NIN version too but this one is just great=]

  • I've heard this verson before!

    but i cant find who ever made it!

    sons of bitches! thanks for posting

  • this is Maynard

  • its not manson or keenan. neither of them suck this bad at guitar

  • again regardless of who it is it's still a good cover, though I don't hear MM in it at all, I can somewhat hear Maynard but again I don't think it's him either but it could be... Great cover of a great song

  • Ok, I've listened it to the end, and I'm sure it's neither MJK, nor MM, just listen the last part of song... Still, quite a decent cover though, made me think what could've Tapeworm Project been. Cheers! :)

  • damn, i wish tapeworm came to be

  • i think its pretty sad that people cant look up and see that trent and maynard was in the studio with eacother in that band, tapeworm... if people knew this they would stop saying that manson did this...

  • Sounds much more like Keenan than Manson, although I'm not sure if it's really someone else singing...

  • Maynard and trent did it in a yellow sub under the sea with umpa lumpas while they were smoking crack and getting high on pcp. Of corse since the umpa lumpas got the copy rights trent and maynard could never take claim to it.. And everyone knows umpa lumpas cant come out in public or they will melt.

  • Sounds a bit like "The Scientist" by Coldplay...

    Not Keenan.

  • I wonder who REALLY did this and more so I wonder why they have never claimed it, its pretty good.

  • they were both amateurs at one point in their lives. you don't know if it's them or not. do you see them?..no, so you don't know

  • going from amateur to professional you're voice won't go from suck to great

  • What a beautiful song!!!!!!

  • This doesn't sound anything like Maynard or Manson, at all. It sounds pretty amateur-ish, honestly.

  • i guess im the only dumbass on youtube that has attempted to redo all the actual music to this song and atleast TRY to do it properly.

  • It's Maynard, I was there when he recorded it.

  • ......

  • why all the tool imagery when this is a NIN song and clearly is NOT maynard?

  • because it's a nin COVER :)

    everybody should chill, and enjoy the song hehe

  • special track:D

  • maynard

  • this is neither manson or maynard, just some private person i'd say. Great cover.

  • This is one of the best covors of this song on the internet, idc what anyone says about the vocals, if the vocals are that bad than make a better one yourself, but untill than im stickin with this one

  • how unbelievably obvious do you have to get.. NOT MAYNARD!! don't disgrace him with this shitty cover.. manson has not done anyone a favor here.. especially nin..

  • It could be Jeordie/Twiggy. Sounds a lot like him.

  • lmao I can't believe any of you guys think it's Maynard.

    Honestly, I always thought it was Manson, but until I searched the song up on here, and realized that no one knew. lol

    I got it with one of the Manson albums so I figured it was him. But now I have no idea.

    But it is OBVIOUSLY not Maynard. Jesus... Maynard sounds NOTHING like this... it's hilarious that anyone would say it's him.

  • this is not manson or maynard...manson doesnt sound anything like this 1st off...and maynars vocals wouldnt get fucked up later in the song so yea

  • it's manson's singing

  • Not Maynard. Maynard's voice is way more epic.

  • you're doing it wrong

  • This is neither Keenan or Manson. This version doesn't touch Trent's with the generic chords and half hearted vocals. How was anyone ever even convinced this was either of them? Hahahaha

  • This is 100% not maynard. If anyone thinks this is maynard, they are very clearly not a tool fan.

  • I thought it was at first then after listening to it later on and after a few songs figured it wasnt, doesnt sound like manson either

  • is this manson or not?

  • No. Seriously, do you think that wanker could ever sound like this? It's Maynard.

  • it is on the marilyns cover album: from highway to hell. But i have given up on trying to convince the people who says its not manson, but i am 100% positive that it is manson.

    Check the discograpy or download the album or buy the album.

  • although it is it is on their with an unknown artist

  • Beautiful

  • LISTEN TO THE END....if u still think its maynard then your crazy.. it sounds like a 15 yr old kid in his room with a one track recorder lol... DEFINETLY NOT maynard at all

  • its def. not maynard, maynard would have sung it way better, plus the yells at the end would have been more epic if it was maynard.

  • Why can't we just appreciate the beauty of this song? Seriously, I don't agree with editorials but I don't agree with calling other people faggots because of what they listen to. I enjoy the cover and would prefer not to sit here all day and bitch about it. (162 characters remainging, so I didn't do a 500 character editorial, jerks.)

  • dumb ass people

  • Jeez, the people commenting on this page really need to get a life. You're probably all a bunch of virgin 17-year-olds trying to make up for your inadequacies with your little 500-character editorials. You don't come off as smart, you come off as a bunch of pathetic faggots (and faggirls...)

  • since your commenting on this page trying to comeoff like a smart ass but come off as a pathetic faggot too...

    so i assume your a 17 year old virgin trying to make up for your inadequacies?

    LOL a people critisizing while being oblivious to the fact there on the same boat to.

    You FAIL big time.

  • And YOU need to learn how to read, you little faggot. There's no hypocrisy in what I said.

  • Your comment.."the people commenting on this page really need to get a life."

    So your not a person and you didnt comment on this page?

    Stop being delusional.. your a hypocrite.. learn to fully comprehend a critism instead of lashing out with childish words like.."faggot" and "no i didnt" statements with no logical evidence to back it up.

    lol what are you a angry insecure child who was neglected by their parents?

  • again..you FAIL big time.

  • Again, you're the one who's telling people to stop having opinions, that's a hell of a lot worse than thinking a song is shitty. Music is something that's subjective, if you think the song is supposed to be sentimental and whiny, go right ahead. I don't. Stop telling me what I should and shouldn't think. You're fucking stupid if you think saying a song is shitty is affecting society as a whole. Wake the fuck up sweetie and realize there are bigger things going on.

  • Keep crying.

    I thought most people covered this "One person saying 'yada yada' doesn't mean 'yada yada'" moral dilemma in Elementary School. If you were the only person doing it, I wouldn't care.

    Also, 'it sucks' and 'I think it sucks', are two completely different things. The way you say it drowns your words in more hypocrisy contradicting with your statement than anything I could hope to say.

  • hmm I have to say, you both have valid points, music is mainly preference as long as it maintains a solid tempo and is played along the lines of a time signature, but there are songs that have a lot more meaning when the person writing the song allows their emotion to carry it or others who strongly relate to the song have an emotional binding and release it in a musical form, I don't know if anyone can do that better than Treant did with this song, but in the end it is just a song.

    -Mystic

  • This is sang in the same mannor as "something I can never have" by NIN. Full of emotion. I think its a good cover and 99% of you idiots out there cant even do anything close to what this unknown singer did. Show a little respect for the art and how it can be interept many ways.

  • agreed. it has the same depth of emotion, just shown in a different spectrum of emotion.

  • seriously this is bullshit

  • I don't care who the fuck it's by, it sucks.

    Terrible Lie is meant to be an angry aggresive song, not some whiny bitch song.

  • You're the cancer killing the music world.

  • You're the reason there are still shit covers like this.

  • I love how you use 'shit' like there is somehow an overbearing criteria for what people are allowed to enjoy and what they aren't. Tastes are subjective, you whiny bitch. Live with the fact that you're the odd one out, and most people enjoy this cover. Or keep saturating this page in your whiny shit. Whichever.

  • I love how you're bitching like a little emo girl about how the music industry sucks because my thoughts on a shit cover when you're the one oppressing other's opinions. Maybe if you don't like what I think of a song, you shoudn't read my comments. Last time I checked, as a citizen of the US, I have freedom of press, meaning I can type whatever the fuck I want.

    Terrible Lie is meant to an aggressive, angry song, not some whiny cover with terrible vocals.

  • Freedom of the Press has nothing to do with making a whiny youtube comment. You're thinking of Freedom of Speech, common mistake my the uneducated.

    Secondly, you're a cancerous tumor on the side of the music industry not because of your tastes but because of how you ignorantly project them across a medium like they should be written in stone.

    Thirdly, you didn't write the song. Stop saying what YOU think it's meant to be like an ignorant twat.

  • Just to finish that up, if you think you can do better, than do it. By bet is that you can't though. You're the kind of uninteresting, petty, self-interested person that will sit and judge something from the safety of a computer monitor, while providing nothing to society of your own. Congratulations, you're a detriment to society as a whole.

  • You have freedom of speech, you're not the press.
