I mean you guys are very good, and i think most of the people who talk shit obviously haven't tried to play a song like this and get it perfectly synced. My favorite is the guitar. You have an amazing setup. Drummer, I like your snare sound and bassist looks like he's having a hell of fun playing, which is all that matters. 5/5. Best cover
hmmmm something tells me the guitarist doesn't know what alternate picking is. drums are pretty flakey during the verses too. bass is dead on. still, good job guys.
DO you have any idea how hard it is to play this song as a band? Give them some credit, they've put alot of work into it. Why should it be perfect? They arn't tool.
you guys sped up SO much, and the bass player isn't even playing the right bassline half the time. If you listen to the song, he's playing quite fast and not just the same variation on the opening bassline which you play throughout the song.
as far as covers go, this is pretty good - but its not even close to perfect. your drummer needs to practice playing to a click and doing speed and endurance building excercises on his hands.
Whooever is playin the kit for this needs to get SOME CONCEPT OF TEMPO!!!! He thinks he's all badass playing the intro fast, then he gets owned by the part with the quick hi-hat releases, cause he's rushing the hell out it!!!!!
Distortion Tone on the guitar is weak! Drumming is obviously off timing during certain parts. Definitely not near perfect but not many have made it this far. Props?!?!
Don't listen to a word of what these guys say. You guys did awesome. Going a little faster never hurt anyone. My little brother is working on Ticks and Leeches right now, and he was going faster then you guys.
Ok that was close to being good but the drummer rushed the into like crazy and the sound quality was very bad, idk if its your amps or your recording equipment
MachineGunSmith's is "wrong" too if by wrong you're saying it isn't exactly the pattern that Danny Carey plays. Doesn't make it not a good cover at all...I think the drumming was fine, song was just a tad rushed feeling, nice job!
i think you guys did a pretty good job at this song and i know you probably allready heard this a million times but it starts off a tiny bit fast. that would be ok but you speed up a little more right before the soft part. otherwise i'm quite impressed that you can get it that good, it's my favorite tool song. to tighten it up play with a metronome insted of the song and have somebody else changing it from 7/8 timing to 8/8 timing where nessicery and you guys will get it tight.
nice job. mad props for doing such a difficult song. the drummer might not have been perfect but it was pretty fucking good especially since the drums to this song are incredibly hard to play.
Only thing about the drumming is after the intro it slacks off. Listen really close to the original version you'll notice Danny doesn't slow down. He keeps going at a very fast pace.
I was pretty impressed by this, especially the guitar. You had the right distortions and while you may not have sounded exactly like Adam don't worry, no one can. as for the drummer, good work with the limited kit you had. Danny has a rediculous set up and it's improssable to match his sound. The one critique I have is slow down the tempo on the intro. Base was straight and had the right to distortion to match Justin's sound. Other than that just find a singer who wont throw out his voice.
Hmm. Drummer, nice work on the intro. It's not exact but it's solid. Don't go too fast. You're rushing the verses a little. Make sure you can headbang to those--notice DC keeps a solid beat going through there. Damn tough song--props for even trying it.
Nice job. Imma drummer so imma give advise to that guy. Very good job, tighten it up a bit though. Work on ur endurance, almost lost in on the inro. Very good though. And to the guy saying you need the same kit. U really dont, but if you have an extra 4-5 million laying around then you might be able to buy Danny Carey's symbols and you get a few credit cards out for the rest of this kit. Lets not even get into the electronic effects. Anyone who even trys tool and posts it is cool by me.
Haha all you people SUCK! I bet none of you have the balls to put up a Ticks 'n Leeches cover like these guys did. Y'all did a good job, maybe give Lateralus a try?
dude leave leave the drummer alone he is trying to play something one of the best drummers of today wrote god he did a good job i could tell what song it was
you really cant blame the drummer for sucking. its danny carey (in my opinion worlds most skilled rock drummer and a damn good jazz drummer). Also the tempos wayy too fast. Maybe have the drummer use a metronome wit headphones
your a dumbass dude. in that case then the guitarist and bass guitarist suck because they dont have the same guitars. and that drummer did a pretty good job. it was a little sloppy but it is a million times better then anything i can do. thats an incredibly hard song to play on the drums
i may sound critical, but im sure the drummer knows he wasnt playing it perfect...i dont blame him, its very hard to do it all right - actually, he probably knowingly played it incorrectly (for a cover, its better to change the beat a little bit and sound correct than to play the right beat wrong).guess im directing the criticism to the idiots who think he did it right
the drummer is fast..but after he hits the snare (in the intro) it's quiet for a second, there are supposed to be toms...pretty sure the smallest one is always being hit throughout the intro. this drummer uses his left arm to hit other toms. also the hihat is wrong in 1st verse, but better than most covers
Where's your singer? Well done cover, I'd say. I'm using this to sing along to, nice karaoke. Too bad you guys aren't from around here, I'd love to jam with you.
pretty good except for tempo. and just fyi, the verses, the drummer should be playing 16th notes on the hits with the open hat accents and not just the accents and when you hit the open hats i think youre letting them up to far so they like stick out of the texture but thats my opinion im sure someone well give me shit for it before too long. keep it up guys!! freaking awesome!
Not bad I guess. Drummer needs a metronome. Kinda bold to say it's nearly perfect.
