TOOL- Rosetta Stoned Cover in Hi Def (Guitar and Bass Line In featuring Chris V)

[Scaric1]

such a waste of money to sound exactly like jc before he finished tuning

[MrBiffi]

I gave this cover a thumbs up because they really did a great job!

dare you to thumb up this comment!

[1y9b9b]

the look on your face at the end.."you fucked it up"

ha ha

joking, this was sick!

[bjjbrawler1]

Hate to echo other comments on here, but HOLY F**K.

You both are so focused. We all know its a tough one to cover. So yes, a a longtime TOOL fan, I am blown away.

[Alexgreiss]

Ok here's the thing. I've been a Tool fan forever. I've been playing bass for 2 years. You have helped me a lot in those 2 years. I've never seen someone as dedicated to nailing JC's tone as you are. Basically, Thank you!

[GenuineColour]

Ive been wanting to play drums on this cover for so long.. now i finally can. im going to post a link later to it under response vids. I swear im not a bullshit drummer, i can make this thing sound like tool

[MultiTreblinka]

you rich pigs :D

[DJBeSSeR]

I'm sure the members of Tool are thrilled!

[ozzfestfan01]

nice guys sounds exactly like it

[StevenzGuitarCovers]

wtf is that at 5:46? It's sounds insane!

[TOOLbassplayer]

@StevenzGuitarCovers guyatone auto wah

[cjmcallister89]

Somniferous almond eyes.

[puppetmetal]

Hey Brad, are you using a Wah Pedal or an Auto-Wah? Whatever it is man, it sounds totally wicked!

[TheSandmanDan]

2:12 baldie looks like hes doing it...

haha jk nice cover guys youre awesome!!

[TheLilla100]

i love you! xD

[TheSandmanDan]

im glad u guys made this video. maynards voice is a little nerdy in this song...

[covert81]

Great cover. Love it!

[spiderfreak8]

is that a spector bass i see in the bottom left?

[Weston07Roberts07]

One of my favorites to play myself. You do great with the timming and why are you playing the epiphone man there is a gibson behind you right?

[MrBiffi]

very good cover. great work!

[jailhouseofrock0130]

do you have a band?

[Theqytagrenater]

Hey, May I use the audio from this to do a Vocal cover that I want to do? I don't want the vocals of the original song distracting the audience. I want them to actually listen to the cover.

[Hyronimus89]

This is PERFECT!!!! Fucking good, ^^

[stride7860]

dude, from one guitar player to another that's pretty beast haha

the part beginning around 6:00 really tires me out, he plays it so many times and it's fast

I can get through it but it's really a work out haha

[IsniperXseanI]

Bass - good

Guitar - okay

[thISxTHplacE]

your guitar is sexy as shit. and it sounds amazing too

[Mattus1111]

This is awesome

[theishjort]

at 6.13 adam jones 1 note from it and the next he ads the last note and he continues with that the hole piece frough but fucking amazing covers keep up the good work :D

[2001lateralus]

haha 0:09 you forgot the "picture this if you will" great cover!

[gogosyamaha11]

Really,when only instrumental anybody can hear how many different lines tool's song are getting through. Props tou you for this excellent, in my opinion cover, and props ofcourse to '']['' ][][ ][][ '|_

[LTLfilms]

2 sliverbursts?

[inkzro]

nice base ill give you $20

[kasthebass]

Very good

[FatKidVocals]

Badass playing.

Give the guitarist a high five for the awesome Opeth shirt.

Give yourself a high five for being pro as fuck.

[residentevilfan224]

[TheJriley]

@residentevilfan224 yeah yo dat wat it look like

[brady0323]

I just shit the bed. great cover

[Penisheld]

The bass part at 6:02 - 6:28 is fucking amazing...never noticed it.

Great job!!

[rickjames0112]

God DAMN! :') that was beautiful, thanks guys!

[DrEasyE51]

Dead on, guys! BRAVO!

[TheDallyLama]

woo hoo i have that guitar its sick

[higyhagd]

can u make a video showing all the pedals the bass uses in this song please

[Cobin09]

wish I had friends like you. to use your talent just to have a good time is such a gift. thanks for sharing your musical desterities.

b.t.w., my favourite musical part from this song starts at @ 7:03 - thr powerful bass tunning.

[MrPeroj]

I DINT UNDERSTAND WHY YOUD PLAY THE FAKE SILVERBURST WHEN YOU HAVE THE REAL DEAL BEHIND YOU MAN??????

[BroHazelton]

need a drummer ;)? this song is so fun to play - especially the paradiddle solo.

[muffdiver2010]

powerful

[jp246810]

the bass is sooo "spacious" if that's the right term. the song is full of euphoric licks from the guitar and bass... but luv me some bass, doubt that me being black has anything to do with that ^_^ lol

[SkinnyPuppy208]

is that epiphone a good guitar im thinking of getting it?

[PrkrBaird]

i have that guitar! cant afford the gibson :(

[gregpicadash]

YOU RULE. END OF STORY. INCREDIBLE!

[blubba1123]

The part at 9:20...the change is soo fucking amazin dude^^

[domonly]

@blubba1123 nothing changed at 9;20

[9burgerwuss]

beautiful guitars and sound good job guys

[thelema3131]

love the opeth shirt. love the cover. im so glad you guys didnt add the drums I love plugging my PC into an amp and jamming to this shit! fuckkkkk yea!

[parasiticlittletick]

that end sounds hard to play together. same with the 2 parts where maynard is singing "strapped down to my bed"

[flagg3139]

wicked cover

[dickgraysun]

sic

[openuplosers]

gears 2, and maybe the orange box in the background there, nice cover, nice taste in xbox games:)

[modem9000]

is that opiateofthemasses with you?

[DCmar93]

I think it's cool how the guitarist uses the same guitar Adam does and you use the same bass as Justin. Models at least.

[TheShorty0ne]

hi, TOOlbassplayer, i would know what kind of effect is he using at 00:14...sounds like a weird wah :P

sorry if there's any mistake, i learned english by my own.

Excellent cover anyway, take care :)

[flyinguitarman]

@TheShorty0ne it might just be a cry baby wah pedal, or a whammy pedal, but im not exactly sure

[COW546]

awsome cover!!

[ACslashDC]

Opeth shirt playing tool. Badass.

[chibixaileen]

this was amazing! greattt great job

[GuitarKid581]

to the guy playing the six, how the hell did you get your tone of distortion to sound exactly like adam jones'? any tips? and props to both of you..kickass!

[TOOLbassplayer]

He's using my POD x3 with the Diezel VH4 amp modeler.. :) It's not perfect but sounds pretty good to me.

[ThexMetalxWithin]

@TOOLbassplayer how much do one of those POD x3's cost? and what program(s) are you using to record and mix on ur pc?

[Astrohman]

Terrific!  Standing ovation!

[systemofadownfan11]

Ever heard of hammer ons? Sounds to happy and jumpy

[WillimDeCodDd]

Bravo!!!!!

wanderful!!!

5 Stars :)

[kurdtco15]

oh weon la cagaron estos qlos bkn

[JunoNova]

Spectacular. Fantastic playing.

I like the look you give each other right at end. Sly smile lol

[DontRunBand]

Why aren't you using the actual replica of Adam's guitar with the Custom Silverburst Les Paul on the left? Is it cuz of the bridge pickup?

[TheUltimatePike]

I'm sure you know this, but he is using the Epiphone Les Paul Silverburst. Odd that they have a Custom Silverburst, and he is using the Epiphone. If you wanted good pickups then the G-LP Studio Silverburst is great.

[Grafkores]

wow, very good cover

[Obl1terat1on54]

what effects are you using on guitar, ive tryed to find out how he gets that sound, anyone know?

[crywolf383]

when i play this song i use distortion with a slight flange on it. it works for me

[CanadianRocker22]

Fuckin' brilliant! Great job.

[GabrielNotTheAngel]

love this video!

[martse11]

Is he playing an Epiphone!? Because I think that guitar behind the bassist a Gibson Custom Limited Edition Les Paul Custom (?) that thing costs like $3000!

[darkcheef]

@martse11 Its a Epi, you could tell by how the headstock his shaped

[sappypesticide]

great cover as always. Chris deff got better at guitar. (Not that he was bad before) He deff has a cleaner sound to his guitar but maybe thats just for playing line in. Great job guys 5/5

[kallidus]

Really fuckin' good....great shirt(guitar)

[Stinkfist43]

That's so sick how you guys are using exact duplicates of Adam's and Justin's guitars, you guys are awesome!

[crimsonakd]

Amazing Cover. Now i'm gonna go pack a bowl and listen to it on my ipod.

[x4aperfecttool]

@crimsonakd how do u covert these ito mp3s?

[bladerrunner422]

killer f'n shirt opeth shirt

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

i think my mind just had an orgasm! wtf! are there literally duplicates of your instruments right behind you? sick ass guitar playing u are incredible for playing through that solo perfectly. plus the bass is just perfect. please cover RATIONAL GAZE by meshugah! i know u guys can do it!

[Hiarch123]

You are incredible! I aspire to be like you man! Great work!

[attilapcx]

fuck yourself it's excellent

[lmcov4]

7:05 my fav part and yall nailed pretty good. i want to steal your bass.

[byekittie]

It really doesn't matter what guitar he's using, they're not trying to sound exactly like Tool, and they never will because they're not Tool. They're doing this to have a good time and to demonstrate the tabs from the website.

[Redstar226]

Nice opeth t-shirt

Pretty sweet guys

[kcdakrt]

o really

[kcdakrt]

he's playing a b-52 at100 and if you ask me it sounds pretty close to adam minus a few thousand dollars

[TOOLbassplayer]

not in this video

[EXPcustom]

As always bass tone rocks but the guitarist needs to put down that Epiphone and use that real Les Paul thats sitting there. Also sounds like the guitarist is running a Solid state amp?

[TOOLbassplayer]

No. It is running through a Pod X3 on a Diezel VH4 and mesa amp emulator.

[emitchsr]

i am wondering how much difference there is between the gibson and epiphone? I notice the gtr player has both and would like to know if its worth getting the epiphone? or if there is quite a bit of diffence in tone or playability between the 2. thanks

[GuitarRocks23455]

GOD DAMN SHIT THE BED!!!!

you guys have the best tool covers on youtube

[geoff101001]

I dont like your intro tone and sound! By a freaking Diezel!

[cooldan11]

that was awesome great cover

[ValkyriePROfile83]

It´s a shame that there are no vocals at 8:40 cause I really love that part. In fact, it´s my faved part of entire album.

Anyway, brilliant cover and faved.

[AHTSvideo]

sometimes, you dont need vocals, the instruments speak for themselves, but i see where youre coming from

[Xenophobia080]

Hey man, was following your video against the tabs on tooltabs and noticed some differences, is what you're playing an update to the tabs? Or am I just seeing things?

[chuckt427]

most tabs u find online are wrong plus there is more than one way to play things

[PXNDXN]

Let me refrase this, Brad: Awesome as always!! Chris:... try to get more accurate the guitar part, but it's good too :D

[GreyF0X92]

awesome cover!

[bigredmarx]

R.I.P les paul.

[JFMatador]

who is les paul?

[potofgrass]

dang! you should see if you can get away with doing lost keys rosetta stoned, you almost finished last time. did you see em on your this summer?? they played lost keys, well without the doctor and nurse talking but it was the same thing.

[reflectionsofme]

Im a huge fan of tool and Justin Chancellor and you are the first person I've ever seen play his stuff flawlessly. I am jelious. Great Job.

[macleod300]

Hm, i see another bass on the far left...this brings us to:

The wal,

Dr. Rick

the ol' Marcus Miller

the taylor acoustic

and the Epi LP

plus that one..please tell us how many basses you have!

[youknowyourrite1]

the epi silverburst LP custom is sick dude.i honestly think it can somewhat repilcate adam's tone if you EQ right.

[SabbathPig]

Sweet Guitar

Awsome Bass

Perfect Cover :D

[leftgreenthumb]

Wow! Great job guys! Just saw Tool for my 4th time last wednesday in Toronto, you brought me back to that night. Solid playing, both of you!

[metallicaone87]

Tool Rules!!!! and this cover is amazing

[jamimbi]

Great job, although if I may add some criticism... You would much better quality of sounding recordings if you tried mic'ing the cabs and direct at the same time. I love direct recording and mic'ing and when you combine them both, its OUTSTANDING! Try it out, I think you'll like the results

[TOOLbassplayer]

Of course I know this bro and I even have a nice Seinheiser MD mic. However when you have a 4 1/2 year old daughter in the next room sleeping you cant really be mic'ing anything.

[vplamondon]

Yeah, but you should try it when the kid is not sleeping :P

[omgbrbabbq]

or he could be taking care of the kid when it is not sleeping

[feddln]

And Chris V

[feddln]

Amazing cover, Nice Job TOOLbassplayer, 5/5

[Razielfourever]

i dig that opeth shirt, dude !!!

and awesome cover. one of the best here on utube

[canem101]

Solo check

Ass scratching before solo check

Nice going Chris you made me your new guitar god!! Brad is my bass god I will worship with my new Wal MK3, Just one more number off then I have Justin's bass he uses!!

[orbas88]

god damn..i shit the bed...awesome job!!!

[whiteillusion1]

nice song, nice cover, nice hat XD.

So is that a stingray or a washburn?

[TOOLbassplayer]

read profile. Wal bass

[bagelman10]

excellent job man! hey, whats ur setup?

[shingelz]

Nice hat :P

[distressedllama]

Is that a Spector I see behind the Gibson?

[TOOLbassplayer]

Yes a Spector 5 string

[distressedllama]

Cool hopefully we'll see it in use soon

: D

[TOOLbassplayer]

Pantera baby...

[distressedllama]

Groovy

[veritasuo]

Badass, people playing Tool, and one is wearing Opeth. Culture is amazing. BTW, great cover, as always. Haven't been disappointed once.

[slapm0nkey]

what is the thickness of the pick you use?

[TOOLbassplayer]

.88

[tsoprano1977]

They play it to a t,but if I'm Adam Jones,I'd be a bit wary of some bloke covering all his music and even going as far as buying a Les Paul similar to his and lifting his sound...

I hope you're not an imbalanced stalker,but other than that...well done!!:)

[TOOLbassplayer]

Umm Chris is playing a Epiphone Les Paul not a gibson. No where near the same guitar. Now I do own the gison LP but I was more doing a favor for my friend Opiateofthemasses to get him the money to buy another guitar. However the Gibson LP in the back is a 2003 reissue and no where near the 79, 80, 81 ones that Jones uses. FYI i iwll be selling the Gibson soon.

[byekittie]

Let me know about that Gibson, im interested.

[TOOLbassplayer]

$1700

[TOOLbassplayer]

but thank you for the kind comments. :)

[imatool07]

Awesome. Sounds like you two really work well together.

[kurlefuzz]

nice... may I have the notes, plz?

[Insomniacsreflection]

hey, why dont yall do some LIVE shows... you are talented as fuck, practice is over... so lets see some stage antics and lighters in the air

[gsclelo]

holy fuckin shit!!

[canem101]

Here is what I think Brad and Chris is saying:

Chris: Let me play your Gibson it sounds much better.

Brad: Hell no! I bought it from Opiate

Chris: Geez man, I have to use the Epiphone huh?

Brad: Buy your own. (In a teasing way)

Chris: Fuck you too. (Here too)

[TOOLbassplayer]

no....the intonation is messed up on the gibson and I have not had time to get it fixed by the local guitar setup guy.

[0dreadhead0]

if you just listen and dont watch you could think justin and adam are rehearsing ;) best one dudes! holy shit what a sound and what a playing! nailed!

[ManifestPanda]

great job, and lol, very odd and coincidental runtime ;)

[bassSlouch]

my only complaint is the "groove riff" has talk box on the guitar but there probably isn't a way to line that in so I'll let it slide (specially since I have no videos recorded that I'm hording never mind on youtube) sick work nonetheless

[TOOLbassplayer]

no it doesn't. There is no talk box in this song. The solo is played through a "pipe bomb" mic designed by Joe Barrisi. Go read the article about it. :)

[bassSlouch]

well then that's interesting, I'm assuming it doesn't need a PA? I have no idea where the article would be I've gotten myself into to much stuff with out enough income (nearly nothing)

[badb0y19]

i would realllly love to play with the bassist ;) loved it ..

.:: shishir ::.

[elusivEuphoria]

I have two questions for Chris... what is his bridge pickup and what wah pedal does he use?

[byekittie]

You should probably read the other comments first.

[sharkbyte33]

Nearly flawless

[joevanni90]

you should cover "no quarter"! xD

[gtrfreak101]

perfect

[canem101]

I see a Gibson behind you but why is Chris using the epiphone?

My god brad you stingey bastard!! lol ;P

[chrisplummer]

Yea, it's right there! lol

[spl100]

I believe that Adam Jones actually plays this song with an Epiphone. Jones has multiple of both, all with unique sounds, so Chris is probably using the Epiphone to recreate the original tone and sound.

[under1tow]

ROFLMFAO

[patbuck2]

Nice job, as always. In fact, I'm learning this exact song right now. I'm still waiting for a guitar tab for it on tooltabs, though...

[byekittie]

Its fairly simple, just gotta get the timing right.

[gtrfreak101]

dont learn it by tabs learn it by ear.

this is 1oooo days from tooltabs by the way

[spl100]

This is Rosetta Stoned off of "10,000 Days" actually...

[TOOLbassplayer]

no, gtrfreak meant that his user name on tooltabs is "1oooo days"... ;)

[spl100]

Oh. haha oops.

[patbuck2]

oh hey there. small world. I have since learned this song by ear from making this post... so you and I were thinking the same on that.

[chiefums]

that was incredibly incredible

[rhesusmonkeydave]

That looked like fun

[nmr4991]

Beautiful.

[oskarpajunen]

the tones are friggin' great

[JJgeetarisst]

5:48 to 6:02 sickest shit ever! You guys fuckin rock!!!

[Ipat42]

Nice guys, very very nice.

[Deundertow]

as brad list's. its line in fool.

[azombiestool]

jesus. i kinda questioned the guitar tone at the begging but the riff that adam does at the end, this sounded EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY like it! what amp is he using?

[TOOLbassplayer]

I set Chris up to go from his pedal board into my Pod X3...I had him using a dual amp setting of a Diezel VH4 and the Line 5 Cali crunch amps...we blended and really messed with the tones until we were happy with how it sounded.

[azombiestool]

oh okay, so no amp. its just stright into line in. okay, cool man! im gunna have to get me a pod X3. expensive?

[992171B]

Such damn high quality! =D
