For a while, I didn't know who made this song. Judging by the bass riff, I originally thought it was actually a guitar riff made with lommi-styled metal tipped fingers.
Then I learned about Tool and the rest is history! ;{D
I'm more of a heavy metal guy, All That Remains is probably my favorite band (well the Who as well, but not the point) but I absolutely the drums in this and the intro......I absolutely love it, a nice subtle bass into an amazing song.
i think its one of those guitars where it has the tuning head at the bottom instead of having a entire head stock. i dont think he uses it schism but, if you watch reflection live, he has it there too.
Every video of a song that is used in Guitar Hero has this conversation. Yes, new people who you might dislike will now include Tool in their Myspace Artists lists. There's nothing you can do about it, so keep posting your rants about how you are the only true Tool fan.
there's nothing wrong with guitar hero introducing bands to the ignorant. what right do "real fans" have to keep the band's music only for themselves? everyone is entitled to listen to great songs such as this. maybe they'll dig deeper too and listen the other stuff by the artist.
its stupid! cause a bunch of kids are saying their into all these great bands like sabbath and slayer and they dont know jack shit! just like one song! and that song is always from a guitar hero game or rock band!
guitar hero introducing people to rock music is fine. the only thing that pisses me off is when they hear one song and are like "omg these guys are the greatest ever i'm gonna be first in line to get tickets to see them live" thats just stupid :)
That's a fair point dude, i've only just starting to listen to Tool myself, and have to admit i like them, but i'm not gonna profess to be a fan until i've bought a couple o' records.
Who honestly gives a shit? You cannot take a persons opinion away from them. Music was invented for enjoyment, pleasure. Not so people can brag about how much they love/follow a band, or so they can say they've got every single album/song they've released. You have to stop bloody heckling people just simply because they enjoy music they've recently discovered. As you said "it makes them total surface fans and dont know any real shit about the band." What does that matter? Grow up dick head.
Wow that would explain why his vocals dont sound as strong as they do on any other of there live songs... he struggles a little with playing a guitar... but my god that is still damn good... he is definitely a good vocalist... not god though lol.
seein them 11th june i cannot wait! maynards voice isnt quite as strong live sometimes but its hard for any singer to keep up how powerfully he sings hes amazin

I think generally, drummers and bassists can be quite underrated.

it makes them total surface fans and dont know any real shit about the band.
if you havent noticed, most tool fans know every album of every song theyve done, weve even been called a cult of followers.

Also, I hate that Guitar Hero leaves out a part of the guitar in Vicarious.
If you listen closely when he starts singing "Don't look at me like I am a monster." You can hear an echo-ey sound coming from the electric guitar.
