I always thought Tool would be one of the hardest bands to cover. You have talent and balls...... humble balls. Those who are real Tool fans and criticize, wish they could do what you do just for "fun'...... Wait, did i just say humble balls? Now that's funny!!
def a 5. i saw some comments on diego i believe, his voice..it sounds exactly like maynard. come on guys, give credit where credit is due. these are some die hard fans like me, you , all the fuckin tool army!
That was really good. The drums were near perfect (as they are in most videos), guitar sounded great cause you really mastered Adam's chimes and bends. Bass was smooth, you really replicated Justin's sound there. As for the singing, it was just great to hear a smooth and gentle voice.
I totally agree. I'm a bass player and I play the song a little differently, mostly with timing and some minor differences; awesome variation (I learned my ear, I don't even know if I'm right). Totally awesome 10 out of 10, no doubt.
Love it guys!! The singer is way better than most who are "influenced by" Maynard. But, c'mon dude, that last note you totally pussed out. Feel it from your belly and blast it out--not falsetto. C'mon, you're definitely good enough to feel it from your stomach and blast it. That was the only thing that kept me from being blown away. Get up and crush that note man.
yeah, he is better, but keep in mind that most people who are "influenced by maynard" dont have very good voices, or they just don't have the same range as maynard does.
I like the vocals. I wonder if his voice is strong enough to handle some of tools heavier songs though.
Also people that are complaining about him 'not sounding like maynard' are stupid. Doing covers to try to sound exactly like the original band is pointless, and you're not going to find someone that sounds exactly like mjk anyway.
i was wondering why haven't you make more videos with the singer all 4 of you sound goood alot of us enjoy it just look at your comments most of them are positive.
It's those insanely perfectionist fans that make me cringe to call myself a Tool fan. I thought you all did a brilliant job, and the vocals were awesome (tho could have been a little more pronounced over the music).
yeah, thats the only complaint and its not your fault lol. just in mixing them together maybe lower the volume of the guitar/bass/drum so the vocals are a lil louder
if there's one thing I've learned about Tool fans, it's they have a ridiculous bias in regards to Maynard
I think the singer did a great job, but if Maynard disguised himself, and posted a video of him singing a tool song, Tool fans would bash him and say there is no other Maynard
I think it is apparent that no one is going to sound exactly like Maynard. He is the hardest part of Tool to replicate. I thought this guy did an excellent job however. You can only get so close without being Maynard himself.
OK I'll tell this in other way, the three of you guys sound exactly like Danny Justin and Adam but I don't see Mainerd hier. YOU tryed so hardly to sound like them not only the notes and the technique but using same instruments same effects and that's cool, but the vocal don't sound like Mainerd that's all
Don't overreact. If he wanted to say something discriminatory, he could've been a lot more blatant about it. I'm sure he was just referring to the guy's accent. Probably because he figured that was the vocal difference ivovundev was calling attention to...
He said "he doesn't sound like maynard". I said Because he's from venezuela, meaning he has a venezuelen accent, which is why he doesn't sound like maynard. Don't be so defensive, if I was that racist, do you think I would have let him in the video? I just finished saying that I like his singing, Jesus.
ehh instrumental was good as always the singer... his voice is ok if hes the best u can find...but he appears as if he may not have a strong enough voice....and he needs a better mic
some of you people commenting are being WAY too picky. no one's going to sound exactly like tool; that's why they're one of the best bands today. good luck finding a tool cover better than this.
yeah but you guys need to give him more credit. He sings the song in Key and that is MOST IMPORTANT. No one is going to sound like MJK but MJK. Cut him some slack he did a great job.
Dude I just had listen it again myself and other taan the vocal volume being a little low I think he's pretty good! What do you want? It's not worthy of a negative comment at all. Nice work by the whole band by the way.
Don't like the vox Maybe he sing it right but there's something in his voice that's more like for teenage boyband it has nothing to do with Mainerd's beautifle voice The instrumental is almost perfect........ PEACE
Ok just to clarify this is meant in a negative light or anything but just wondering if you write yur own stuff? Your Tool playing has helped me work out some bits on guitar and that but just wondering if you want to be more then just in a tool cover band? We all see you can play someones elses music but can you create? By the way best Tool cover I have seen
seriously go out and play some clubs or something it helps to get a little fix between tools tours. and that diegoinsomnia guy could probly pull off a good maynard look if he shaved his head. and painted himself blue ;-) lol
Unbeliable now that you guys came together you can come to Los Angeles AND TOUR ALL OVER THE CLUBS OF L.A THEY ARE THOUSANDS OF TOOL FANS THAT WOULD LOVE TO SEE A TOOL COVER BAND WHEN THEY'RE ABSENT FROM TOURING GREAT JOB I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE MORE OF YOU GUYS THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP.
Would like to hear the bass a little better he looks to be a good bassist so want to hear it all clearly but talent wise great job i like it alot.
you should do lateralus, right in two, pushit, and extended stinkfist that would be a treat im not even gonna ask fo ticks and leeches cause that shit will kill that guys vocal chords but if your feelin ballsy lol go for it lol.
sorry about all the requests in here just hard to choose a favorite with tool songs. peace. GREAT JOB GUYS.
Hey bro. Thanks for the compliment. I am the bassist. However I am suprised because the bass is plenty loud on my computer. It is the vocals that are low. Overall the whole mix is low. Are you listening on laptop speakers? If so that is your problem. Use headphones or a computer with speakers and a sub. I can hear the bass clear as day. =) cheers!
Awesome, Guys! That was amazing. Being that Stinkfist is currently my favorite song to play, That'd be a cool one to see next. Then again, I'll be impressed whatever you guys do next. I always am. Keep up the good work!
?.....Just like Maynard? I can't really agree there...He did all of the heavy screams that Maynard does at the end in falsetto, which is don't sound very good becasue they're really very important to the song, he's also out of key some. Although his voice is not really bad, just not suited for Tool, Maynard's pitch changes are kind of abnormal, they show badly with the average singer....

Another guy who can't handle reality! Tell u what; check back @ the beginning of the week, and I'll have some Tool vocal covers that smoke DiegoINSOMNIA,& that's No shit talking, that's REAL.Anyway, all I said was the truth,I assume ur a big Tool fan, CAN U NOT HERE THAT HE'S OUT OF KEY??He's not terrible, just not suited to attempt MJK so well, GODDAMN WAKE UP!Amazing, I said the truth & vplamondon insults me, Wow?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He sing well BTW? Oka man however you hear it.If he was hooked up to a ProTools pitch correction machine it would CLEARLY show the numerous pitch issues, & personally I'm not impressed,& again he's an oka singer,but if you like it then so be it......
