Schism - tool cover

[jointhemodernworld]

If you sit down to play a Tool song on your acoustic guitar, you'll more than likely find yourself (a) playing a mid-80s Megadeth-style bass line or (b) alternating between two or three tedious barre chords that are right next to each other.

[TheAddictsPerish78]

you guys are actually  decent, guitar need a bit of work though. other then that keep it up

[markmartinojrE4]

That was damn good guys!

[Souljacaomh]

nice job

[tylerweber1986]

Im sorry but your guitarist is a moron...has he even heard the song?

[hojima]

@Goathem The point is to get a sound, playing with a pick gets a different sound. What makes you a good bassist isn't how fast you can play, its how you think about the music, which is totally divorced from whether you use a pick or not.

People like you should really just go die, you ruin music.

[Goathem]

@hojima First of all, you should totally die.

I was expressing my way to think; you're free to play the way you like.

I hate cheaters, but this doesn't mean I kill them as soon as I meet one. And I think that using a pick to play bass, is cheating.

I was talking about effects, and not speed. I really don't like pick sound on bass strings. That's all.

So, go die somewhere else, go ruin your life wherever you like. And don't bother my ideas.

[hojima]

@Goathem Did it occur to you that it was inane to attack picking on a tool video, where tool's actual bassist uses a pick? Think before you speak, cretin.

[Goathem]

@hojima I'm not insane, and you are the stupid one here.

As to me, this song, all songs, sound better using fingers instead of pick. You may disagree, it's fine. But you cannot say that I have to die because my ideas ar different than yours, moreover you cannot offend me. I didn't attack personally anyone.

[LoveBama624]

wow :) this sounds super great guys! :)

[paulv1973]

love this song and you guys did a great job!

[piratepantsfromhell]

I-I didn't really have any problem with the guitarist? I thought it was fairly right on...

[TheTwItCh56]

Needs vocals :D

[sjk254]

Fucking great job guys.

[Lrogerz44]

i'm not too sure if i like the fast tempo but pretty good regardless

[rromo9]

good job

[saleporc123]

you need a silverburst to play a tool song ,thats not an option ;)

[hojima]

@saleporc123 Thats rediculous.

[saleporc123]

@hojima it's a joke,don't you have humor in your country?

[hojima]

@saleporc123 Yes, we have humor in canada, I'm just used to douchebag tool fans who would say something like that in earnest. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[tcasel38]

damn good fellas!!!!!

[YouLoseTheGameOo]

ur like just a slight bit of tempo on the first just enough to notice but otherwise it was fucking awesome u rock

[MegaDysfunction]

Oh. And the bassist was pretty good. You were a little fast on the intro, though. A bit slower.

[MegaDysfunction]

The guitarist could defintely use some work. Try holding down the frets longer. It sounds way too short.

[fannnnntasticly]

these guys are so cute!

[bluewire3333]

Bass was good. I enjoy the bass cause it was good. Maybe you should start playing bass cause it's good. That's good

XD

[distubedrat]

sooo from what i can understand you live with your band?! thats fuckin badass..

[drumskater337]

screw that lady who doesent know crap about good music and just wants kids to shut up

[sunburst13]

wow this is badass how old were u guys when u did it



[DISGUSTIAPATED]

Too fast.

[RigoKellerColas]

I don't know what people are talking about. I have been in bands for years and this is pretty good. Most drummers suck, guitarists can't play to a beat, and so on. Good job.

[Luvinhas]

Put the damn distortion On the guitar xD

[DistrattoDallaLuna]

overtime !!!

[BassGod2271]

the snare sounds....... broken like the bottom head has cracked....... anyway good job!

[ScrewNormality1]

Could've been better but you had a damn good go at it. Keep it up :D

[bendingparabol]

i think the same guitar sucks and itś not a really hard songyou need to practice before u upload somthing like this i'd forgive this if you were playing some other stuff but you got to play tool's songs with some respect

[theenigmajjames]

@bendingparabol Who the fuck are you to tell these guys whats what....this is youtube dude, and any and everybody can upload any and everything they want to.and yes you and everyone else is free to comment good or bad about the vid..You'd forgive this if they were playing some other stuff?? You'd forgive them??..WHO the fuck do you think you are. I bet these guys really give 2 wet fucks whether you forgive them or not...your a fucking idiot...these guys did a bang up job..not bad at all

[Knux28]

fun fun

[VIDGAMZGIRL]

niceee cover

=)

[Luvinhas]

it was kinda fast at the intro and u needed distortion guitar ;p

[Yelowfurlamb]

Great drummer!

The guitar needs to be louder!

[LogansDrums23]

the drummers sick

[ziporonto]

good cover. Bassist need to slow it a bit though

[haydenf]

Sick drumming

[rob5000x1]

bassist needs to slow his shit down lol

[Hillgaard84]

to fast.. but very cool

[farahonx]

yeahyeah good cover bro good cover

excelente cabrones

[puchito1x1]

hey muy buen cover !!1

[TheRoge43]

Great sound!

[parabolakiller]

only pussies use a pick....

[iDeathFromAbove]

@parabolakiller your suppsoed to play this song with a pick or else it sounds like shit you dumb peice of shit

[parabolakiller]

Well yeah if you a pussy

[madderdaddy2]

The bassist from tool is a pussy? Then why listen to it?

[Suffication94]

.................. ur gay

[OliverAnderson420]

Picks are for afros not basses.

[jshow420]

agreed

[Lesstra]

All together, the pick, finger style and slap style are techniques that a good, complete bassist should basically be familiar with, because they provide differences in sound. Some bassists like pick more, some finger style, some use both. So, your opinion kinda says that you're a classic dumb ass.

[OliverAnderson420]

@Lesstra It was a joke, but you have to be a typical internet tough guy and start talking shit, so go fuck yourself. I like the video and think that it is a good cover of TOOL's song. I prefer the challenge of playing bass without a pick because I play more than just one style. When going from gallops or tremello picking to a slap and pop groove, it makes it very difficult to use a pick. So try not to resort to douchery so quickly. Not everyone is out to get you or talk shit.

[Lesstra]

If I remember correctly, I was referring to parabolakiller's state: "only pussies use a pick"... So I really don't know what's your problem, and how come you got offended.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@Lesstra

FIngerstyle with the occasion slap for emphasis is all i need, you have TONS more options when you play fingerstyle, pick your limited like crazy

[dtab321]

@Goathem Your comment is retarded, all you did in your comment, was fail at grammer and prove your not a musician.

[MRpoopsniff]

depends on what sound you are trying to get

[LendMeYourHand]

Singing is the soul screaming out.... Not A energy that can only be interpreted on a instrument....The vocal ability is a trip into the human mind... You convey intensions Strengths & weakness in its RAWest form.....Get a singer. I cant lie.. this is precision & sounds good to me, but i & everyone else wants you to put a select individual to put his soul interpretation in the NOW. Ok, i will 5 star, but because it deserves it.....GET A SINGER... Make it what it was meant to be.

[LendMeYourHand]

Kinda pointless to have a whole band together & no one is singing....Whats to say i dont find a video with one guy & a drum machine singing the song. He would be the shit. I remember i did this when i was your age... & if you dont have a singer then its only kool to you & not everyone listening

[craig6944]

Only cool to them and not everyone else listening huh? Well how would you explain the just about 5 star rating out of 739 (740 after I rate 5 stars) people and the numerous positive comments below? They are their own band and they have every right to choose how they want to play music.

[LendMeYourHand]

Sorry i came off shitty, but been there done that... They want someone to BALLS up & sing... That is the true component to the representation... Instrumentalists are a dime a dozen... A one man show beats this out... because you are missing a profound component. It will never hit that spiritual level of creation if you dont have a vocalist putting the soul to the music. It is words of wisdom....Even if the singer sucked it would have potencially set all the others off.

[abowlofsoda]

i got the chills during the breakdown... great job

[vampinside]

Great! Thanks from Russia!

[nollidazar]

the very begining with the bass is just a tad bit too fast, but you fixed yourself. good job

[rexfollett]

well wmv and pc is the problem go MAC thats your solution..

[hermald18]

FUCKING A!!!

[madmax336]

Great cover, the timing between you three was pretty much solid for the whole song which is great!

The song itself though was played a bit faster than the original, might have been a bit easier if you had played at the right tempo. The drummer plays great but I don't think the snare is off like it should be. Even though he didn't do some parts the same as the song he still filled in some pretty nice stuff. Good job!

[Calbad3112]

I take that back, guitar needs alot of work. Drumming was great!

[thumphrey05]

man im alot better at guitar now if i redid this i think u mite be impressed so mayb you dont kno weverything about guitar. have u hreard of yngvie malmsteen? ive been watching his videos everyday to try to get my talent much better

[Tibnips]

@thumphrey05 bro need learn the timing and shit there isnt any rythm in your playing either sounds real bland and boring

[hojima]

@Tibnips Their timing is fine.

[Tibnips]

@hojima you serious? drumming is but the strumming is out farr as any way guy said hes improved so yea who really cares

[Calbad3112]

Um the bass and drums were good. The guitar needs a bit of work on several sections. And your timoing needs improvement, BUT other than that nice work :)

[bama4720]

that was a good cover..

[mosheskimo]

good cover boys

[zataan]

really well done .. i play bass aswell as guitar and drums, and i know how extremely hard this song is to play..

[Banjovince]

Good job, gitar, more gain ?

[SvenIsHere]

great cover (: you guys need a singer though, i know they're fuckin hard to find X.X but still

[fwtovolidas]

great bassist !!

[hoodratts]

what a sick drummer

[MorandRuler]

yeah! and he seems to have pretty fast feet (at the end)...

[aaws95]

i'm getting a guitar like that one

[aurelalto]

Yes !!!

Great !!!!

Good job !

[sebasztian1]

les falta la voz lo demas its great!!

[twistedkatana1]

tha was pretty fuckin awsome

[zakorkaz]

Sounded really good. One thing I noticed is that there wasn't any distortion for the guitar during the delay effect with the bass and there should have been.

[aerfdd]

good job :)

[elsalvador702]

guitar needs more practice

[mum3hai]

that was awesome, good job

[rldjsegura]

slow down a tiny bit. it's deceiving how fast it sounds. but it's actually a bit slower

[panicrevenger]

its goo but you dont have voacalist

[ShulerStudios3211]

no singer? ah well still awesome. schisms good but parabola is even better!

[TheMightyRAMBO5]

schism is so bad asssss!!!!!

[superdude1452]

thats great guys. i can play this on guitar and bass but the drums always fuck me up.idk why. its prolly the time signature. great job anyway

[rcfreak2493]

the drummer was full of sketch but it was still awesome.

[Bluntangel831]

you guys need a vocalist

[kevarm23]

ASAP

[7ArtangeL]

woow!!!... increible!!!

1000/5

[clevelandtyler2]

slow down and play the hammer ons at the beginning right

[WorldofFood]

you guys did a really great job. im impressed somebody could even get close to danney carey on the drums. you guys are really talented for your age

[brianwurst1234]

Dang that drummer was gettin down, the bass player too.

[metalgeartiernan]

the guitar is a bit sloppy but other than that its a really good cover :]

[mki1]

..good job

[nddurana]

fucking great

[grimchain]

Um sony vegas is pretty good for editing

[Kreigshundun2]

Movie Maker

[21021011]

haha the bass player looks alot like me, what is he like 5'6 5'7? cuz if he is thats my damn twin lol

[mitnavnerchristian]

What equipment are the bassist using? A pedal or something? And how is the amp equalized?

[serhgoch]

very good cover, of difficult song. 5 stars from me!

[azombiestool]

the bass sounds just like justin's. excpet just alittle less gain if anything. but it sounds JUST like it. and the guitar, adam uses alittle reverb i think, but not THAT much

[fingerboardgod345]

tht was great...good job guys!!!

[AkademikPotapov]

More sustain to guitar

And chorus to bass will be perfect

[xxxbulldog44xxx]

ya yall got a good thing goin especially wit dat drummer, it was ok drumming but no1 can blame u because danny carey's drumming is really complicated

[ceetothecee]

larned this the other day, brill cover , great song by a great band!

[urdumb7]

im pretty sure the snare is supposed to be turned on.

[fuktnees]

I'm fairly certain the snare's off for most of the album, definitely off for this song.

[underwaterladys3]

hahaha, you don´t know nothing about TOOL my friend

[urdumb7]

who said i did know anything about tool in the first place? i only said that cuz it sorit of sounded like the snare was turned on for the album.

[holycross23]

all-together a 10/10

except no vocals!!

[crimsontearz24]

agreed! i'd wail for ya if you need some vocals :)

[vladk2k]

Probably someone told you already, but you can use VirtualDub, it's free and quite a standard among opensource tools for video editing (aplying filters to video/audio, cropping, cuting, converting, compressing etc.)

[kingdan356]

u nailed the bass but u need a vocal

[DespisedAdvocate1]

great cover all you need is vocals

[pooploser911]

awesome cover

[shuckuma]

keep on drummer!!!

[PowerSlaveN]

Fuckin' nice!

[Thusyanthan]

ugh i dont like the sound of those drums..

[mattconna]

the bass and drums sound amazing, the guitar was a little iffy but good nonetheless

[lightning2021]

nice cover, would suggest a better distortion pedal though but still very good. hella good drumming tool is not easy to play at all.

[brigdetosomewhere]

I love the song and you guys are prety good. But I found the overall picture prety weak. Especialy the guitar. And buy your drummer a metronome.

[andr3yr4du]

"the woman down the street called the cops on us. apparently she's not a tool fan" :)))))

great cover

[antesrock]

coool !!

[jenniereynnie]

this is amazing! one of my favorite songs

[livetotrip]

wud love too see u all do dat cover live

[grEEnfan8880]

Final Cut Pro and Avid are always good editing programs, they might not be simple though.

[Kudell46and2]

very good bass player!

which bass do yo own?

cheers from Chile!

[CannibalKlok]

awesome, add a vocalist and you can make 400+ a night :D

[elephantlawst]

That was tight guys, keep it up. Guitar dude should've been in view more though.

[darkworldteen91]

love the sound of your bass

what brand you got?

or what strings you use?

[JWBassNDrums86]

Excellent cover! Undoubtedly one of the best covers I have yet to see on YouTube.

[sovietrocker89]

awesome cover// guitar distortion could be a little heavier or more trebly.. to counteract the bass.. well not counteract it. harmonize wiht it better.. great cover though!!!! haha"fuck, fuck fuck, fuck you camera"

[slowrider91]

ownage.

[xXbunnyluvXx]

that's a pretty near perfect cover right there. The lead guitar (or whoever is on the left side of the screen) Seems a bit choppy though

[mastermynal]

That'll do quite nicely.

[matthewflemin12]

u guys are killer

[sappypesticide]

its a little fast

[Ruben8275]

no ..the time is right,but what about the voice????????

[drkmonkey7]

man I wish I had a bass whammy :C

[theshit1980]

i had a kareoke time as well in my studio...lol

[worldismyashtray]

Had myself a little karaoke moment there. Thanks guys.

[pyrodb]

lol "fuck u camera" XD. great cover!

[martinlutherkingIII]

as others have said, the guitar tone is lacking, and he is lacking the aggression that Adam Jones has in this song. It's not bad, but the bass player and drummer especially make up for it. Fucking drummer is good man.

[nocreal]

That shit brought a tear to my eye.

[joaozinhomaria]

is that a slash signature epiphone?

[mikegawne]

i think so it looks like the goldtop

[heavymetal988]

nice, u guys are good, get a singer and ur band would be perfect.

[TheeManThatCan]

Awesome job.....

[xsamanthax1691]

definitly not an easy song...took me a bit to get it down(on guitar).....great performance though

[HardRocker766]

nicely done

[metalasfuck123456789]

yeah this is phat lads.

[jp246810]

KiCk AsZ!!!!! sound good

[Turncoatrb]

i think some where in that song there were words

[Altered6Chicken]

Wow the intro was waayyyyyy too fast.

[oliveira830724]

jajaja, re bien!!!! felicitaciones, Tool lo mejor!!
