Tool -Demon Cleaner

[MartyrLoserKing]

Satan is the way

[thcdreams654]

A worthy bad to play Kyuss.

[ZeSantaKid]

I just admire how Maynard can tranquil with his voice.

Any song sung by him probably turns into trip to somewhere. (I wonder did he sung lullabies for his kids.. might be awesome. anyway.)

[lulzlaby]

Saaaaaaton is the wayyyyyyy Satan is the way saaaaaaton is the waaayyyeee.

[MforMetalhead66]

@lulzlaby i think people who believe in god are fucking stupid. guess what i think of people who believe in satan... anyway, i also think u are a little troll-mrad :P

[munchamushroom]

Tool drugs and Alex Grey

[MacMan282]

@munchamushroom I love Tool drugs. I put them in my cereal every morning.

[albundie3]

i think this is a step up from the kyus version, however, no one besides josh homme could write such a song, complex with a feel of simplicity, and i feel tool upgraded it by adding in their style

[blackhawk1994]

looks like 22 people demon dirtier

[SomeUsefulIdiot]

amazing cover of a great band by an amazing band

[StrattenKlein]

Maynard is a Genius

[wartravs22]

great cover of a Kyuss song!

[chochy888]

true and if they do believe they worship satan its more of a fashionable choice like those danm emo kids, true followers do not make a point in proclamation they just live the path

[Lisajo009]

I don't think they worship satan. Especially not to be fashionable. The word "fashionable" does not and will never apply to Maynard. He detests such things.

[societ39]

@Lisajo009 you are right about maynard.

[JerryTheSquid]

Orignal song by Kyuss is way better but, the guitar from 4:10 to 5:00 is some of the best I've ever heard. I wish I could loop it!

[MattyDD1982]

EPIC!!!

[Vembumees]

Oh my god, I'm soo stooned and this song somehow relaxes my brain, I can feel waves passing through my head, don't have this with any other songs, something unique in this song.

[TaOpOcL462]

yea i can feel my brain and body swaying only im not moving jus feels like i am

[MartyrLoserKing]

@Vembumees prolly just the phaser bro. try using phaser on some other songs and see if it works.

[zmoe255]

@Vembumees i can feel the waves. i'm not high.

[dumd1ddly]

i dont think he worships satan lol

[911TOOL]

you don't think you worship satan either.. nobody thinks they do.

[maassy]

was Scott playing bass on this cover?

[ChristianDeWees]

It says that they sometimes got him to play bass for this song with them, so it might be.

[AtheistLoveChristmas]

He says, :"Scott Rider!" at the end of the song. Sooooo either it WAS him or they were playing a horrible joke on blah blah blahb le dlfjajlkef'a hl bA Dhfg; dklaj;bklj'ahg' Z

[FromBeyond99]

Scott was there when they played this in San Diego (UCSD) on the mini West Coast tour. The same show that MJK got folded up and put into a duffel bag.

[ruele1985]

KILLACOVER!!!!

[jellyface]

does anyone know where i can find an mp3 of this. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[rinabell06]

The original is on 'Welcome to Sky Valley' by Kyuss. I think the original is way better anyways. I love Tool but I dont like the way maynard sings this one, the drumming is not nearly as good, and the bass is too prominent.

[Merkaba334]

im pretty sure maynard isn't a christian

[KyussCrickit001]

I like both Tool and Kyuss, but prefer the Kyuss version.

[shredbass88]

awesome, I love Kyuss and Tool, so cool of tool to cover them!

[wine15gut]

HAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAA..... ok pallie.. amen

[wine15gut]

HAHAHHHAA.. Is satan theonly way ?? HAHHAHAHAAAAAAA SNAP OUT OF IT ! SATAN IS THE EASY WAY.. if tool were to say that they would havebeen wasted and in graves right now... satan is the only EASY way out babe... if you wanna die why dont you do it today ?

[thedevilsinquisitor]

3:52 - 4:10 ...listen.... SATAN IS THE WAY. SATAN'S THE ONLY WAY!!!

Satan is the most difficult way.

[thedevilsinquisitor]

satan is the way. satan's the only way.

[TheJonnyHo]

dude, he's its about wiping away your inner demons with weed.

Its a kyuss song

"they'll try to trick you into normal treatment, but dont you listen to them say, shush them all away"

[thedevilsinquisitor]

Part 1.

I, the serpent answers, am Satan who was stoned; I am the Adversary- the Lord who is against you, the one who pleads for your destruction before the Eternal Tribunal. I was your enemy upon the day you were formed; I have led you into temptation; I have delivered you into the hands of evil; I have maligned you; I have striven ever to achieve your undoing. I am the guardian of the Tree of Knowledge and I have sworn that none whom I can lead astray shall partake of its fruits.

[thedevilsinquisitor]

part 2.

Adam replies: For uncounted ages have I been thy servant. In my ignorance I listened to thy words and they led me into paths of sorrow. Thou hast placed in my mind dreams of power, and when I struggled to realize those dreams they brought me naught but pain. Thou hast sowed in me the seeds of desire, and when I lusted after the things of the flesh agony was my only recompense.

[thedevilsinquisitor]

Thou hast sent me false prophets and false reasoning, and when I strove to grasp the magnitude of Truth I found thy laws were false and only dismay rewarded my strivings. I am done with thee forever, o artful spirit! I have tired of thy world of Illusions. No longer will I labor in they vineyards of iniquity. Get thee behind me, tempter, and the host of thy temptations. There is no happiness, no peace, no good, no future in the doctrines of selfishness, hate, and passion preached by thee.

[thedevilsinquisitor]

part 4

All these things do I cast aside. Renounced is thy rule forever! And the serpent makes answer: Behold, O Adam, the nature of thy Adversary! The serpent disappears in a blinding sunburst of radiance and in its place stands an angel resplendent in shining, golden garments with great scarlet wings that spread from one corner of the heavens to the other. Dismayed and awestruck, the Adam falls before the divine creature.

[thedevilsinquisitor]

Last Part I am the Lord who is against thee and thus accomplishes thy salvation, continues the voice. Thou hast hated me, but through the ages yet to be thou shalt bless me, for I have led thee out of the Sphere of the Demiurges; I have turned thee against the illusion of worldliness; I have weaned thee of desire, I have awakened in thy soul the immortality of which I myself partake. Follow me, O Adam, for I am The Way, The Life, and The Truth!

[miltanos]

what are they doing here --> 4:25 ?

[ronkerjake]

i dunno man BUT ITS AWESOME

[juicr500]

Awesome Band covering an awesome song.

Don't get much better than this.

[kyussborn]

tool & kyuss are my life, and I listen to this shit since 17 years and the last part blows me every time again & makes me smile, For those who didn´t like this version dosen´t understand the best music on earht, I´m shure god Jesus & all the saints sit up there role a big buddha cheese and ckrank it up to 10 ...on march the saints

[BitchinnShoes07]

what the hell are you talking about? I can't understand why people believe in jesus being so awesome.

[rgarrow92]

I actually prefer the Kyuss version but this version is good too

[goldenbloo]

i am now going to listen to kyuss, and will appreciate it that much more.

[theonlywalrus]

Just not the same. No disrespect to Tool or nothin, but doesn't have the same energy

[BondGirl105]

wooooooooow  i'm italian but i love Demon !!!

[MEA0105]

4.00+ is better than the original to me, rest is not. Might not sound as "flat" with better audio.

[charliejason21]

I don't like this version as much as the original, it doesn't have as much of a gritty feel to it. But Tool is still a great band.

[Joshs2020]

Opiate was not their first Lp. People should remember that opiate was'nt even availible on many shelves until after undertow. but true, opiate was MADE before undertow.

[psaionyx]

you are right it wasn't there first Lp.. however it was there first Ep.. 3 months into the formation of the band as well as the first record which was produced.. and it was available everywhere its just the fact that people didn't know who tool was.. unless they lived in southern california.. so they passed up tool for nirvana.. IDIOTS

[AlienfaceBiliRubin]

sometimes tool is shit but if you don't listen to them every day this band is great

[MetalChickenDragon]

Tool is never shit. Dumbass.

[amm2911]

i always thought this song sounded like tool

[Poonard]

i think its the guitar....very adam jones

[amm2911]

the vocals and drums too i'd say. i always used to say that tool was proggified stoner metal

[aidenmnuroff]

the cover sounds so astonishingly Tool!!! hehe.

[leech03]

notice how the sound qulity changes in 2:06

[Manuuel]

kyuss rules

[funnyname92]

fair play to tool they did a decent cover. does any one have any suggestions to what cd i should get if i was to buy a tool cd ?

[mike8536]

aenima or lateralus would be good for starters. undertow was the first album...

[funnyname92]

thanks guys

[usedbread]

opiate was the first album.

[historyhelpman]

i started with aenima

[susrev88]

Where can I find the HQ version of the 3 awesome pics that appear between 4:09 and 4:23? Can anybody help me?

great vid, and the cover kicks ass!

[susrev88]

I'm looking for the one at 4:55

[fartsmachine]

haha, SATAN IS THE ONLY WAY!

[billgermany2000]

no

lucy is

[cyanic11]

wrong again.. that can help to make you a bit more AWARE, but YOU're("GOD") the only way.

[entool7]

can you send me this song please? I love it but can't find it anywhere. My email is onix317@hotmail,com

[bucketheadfan1]

the kyuss verison is better. this sounds kinda flat if ya know what i mean.

[numbchucking]

This is live no?

[Deano080]

Sweet cover, could use a bit more 'oomf' that Tool does so well.

imo

[j0y645m]

The feel just isn't there.

[cheaptrades]

i used to hate this cover but its actually pretty good especially cuz of danny and adams solo

[Toolband42O]

Likewise dude

[7vikki]

@cheaptrades duet?



[blandoon]

Too bad there are no videos out there of Scott Reeder playing this song with them.

[Mofra11]

Great rendition, although the thumping bass takes away a little of the vulnerability of the track which always made it a standout amongst the Welcome Top Sky Valley tracks.

[Exlaxcookies]

kyuss' version is far superior...

[Ohmann2]

I prefer this one

[Toolband42O]

Not really but thanks for your opinion

[opti95]

@Toolband42O haha that was an awesome way to put your opinion. BUT FOOLISH

[arrythmia374]

i like them both...

[zulu650]

tool didnt make this, i thought it was a rare

song but its not theres....

[Toolband42O]

Idiot

[guidodignani]

how can you compare kyuss to tool you stupid fuck

[youwillbowtome]

man its as if this song was written for tool. i love kyuss but man tool just work on this tune the drums and the guitar suit them so much. i love adam jones' tone on this too. i wanna hear a studio cover of this with more aggression on the vocals.

[avianman66]

Everyone hear that tool will be in the next Guitar Hero game. That's gonna have to hold me over until the next album! I wish I'd got something special like this at a concert. The best thing I got was FLOOD..

[Toolband42O]

I'd rather play my guitar than one with 5 plastic buttons on it. You Lied was a pretty good song live. Only saw it once though :(

[avianman66]

Yeah but the drums would be cool! And singing is just singing...

[juxtapositioning]

Hard to believe that these guys were that young when they did this. QOTSA is good too, but no KYUSS!

[Sepultube]

i hope your not talking about tool, they were in their late 30's when they played this, thats hardly young at all.

[Toolband42O]

34 to be exact

[juxtapositioning]

Kyuss was 18. I know my Tool dude. Trust me.

[Toolband42O]

Likewise. I met Tool twice and talk to Adam on myspace here and there.

[juxtapositioning]

I want to meet them so bad. I went to the concert they had in my city a year ago. Blew me away that his vox are so spot on.

[Toolband42O]

Maynard doesn't sing as well live now as he used to. My first show was in 98 and that was unreal compared to how he sings now. Lateralus was the best tour in my eyes.

[juxtapositioning]

I wish I woulda known of those guys then, but I was only 12. LOL.

[SOADFreakLuxx]

on which album is this song???

[hijackjoe]

I'm not sure if you'll find this on any album since its a Kyuss cover...:P

[ToolWorshipper]

i dont get it what song is this

[Toolband42O]

What? Read the title again...

[Ayce18]

Pretty cool cover. Wish the bass was louder though.

[Toolband42O]

The song on my computer is pretty loud when it comes to bass,but since youtube has the worst sound processing I've seen in a while you can't really get the bass notes or the clarity or any instrument.

[merdeoiad]

is there anybody who has guitar tabs for demon cleaner (tool version) ? Send me please.

[Toolband42O]

I think if you googled it you might be able to find something. Or you could try finding a tab site online and posting a request for it on forums if they have them. Hope this helps ya dude

[merdeoiad]

i'll try

[cyberhore]

The devil and his had me down,

in love with the dark side I'd found.

Dabbling all the way down.

Up to my neck;

Soon to drown

But you,

changed that all for me,

lifted me up, turned me 'round.

Looks like MJK had a change of heart...

[Astraldisaster22]

NICE ONE!

[cheaptrades]

this is a cover. demon cleaner by kyuss

[residue102]

cyberhore I've got serious doubts about that. I'd think you're perception was wrong first. The heart wants what it wants. And as Maynard said in "sober" I want what I want

[juxtapositioning]

And as he said in prison sex, do unto others, what has been done to you.

[cyanic11]

yeah that's still bullshit too.

[juxtapositioning]

hmmm?

[cyanic11]

???

[juxtapositioning]

What were you saying is all bullshit?

[cyanic11]

fartsmachine (2 weeks ago)

haha, SATAN IS THE ONLY WAY!

kevinfern003 (1 week ago)

is he!!!

billgermany2000 (1 week ago)

no

lucy is

[cyanic11]

lucy is 'bullshit' so to speak

[juxtapositioning]

ahh... Okay. It came up as a reply to one of my comments.

[virussize6]

satan is the way u gota love MJK

[Toolband42O]

You're right dude. Awesome way of putting that.

[tom360]

Now that was a killer cover!

[Asmodeus8]

fuckin' great

[droctagon3k]

Kyuss version obviously kicks ass, but this version is pretty sik too, bit thicker, beefy

[ToolGhoul]

Is there a video of this performance????

[Toolband42O]

There is, but its dvd size and I don't know how to chop it out of it.

[Toolband42O]

Christ children, just comment on the video. This bickering is fuckin annoying dude. For fucks sake...

[virussize6]

I liked your vid

[Toolband42O]

Thank you :)

[agent8604]

dude kyuss was nothing like alice in chains, maybe you should listen to them

[amerikyuss]

kyuss was like alice in chains ^^

[xTheOxx]

Uh? No. Not at all.

[nozzferatu666]

What ?!

[lilburtonboy7489]

its very rare for tool to cover a band....they must really like n respect kyuss...

[stonescourt3]

not a bad cover...the change up is pretty good

[fateissealed]

I wish they have covered gardenia :D but this this sounds great as anything else would have :)

[youwillbowtome]

love these lyrics man. so dark. great sound tribal and cool.

[youwillbowtome]

dont be such an arogant prick, the word tribal doesnt relate solely to american indians, i was using the word tribal in reference to ancient rhythm sounds found in africa and asia. why dont you pull your head out your ass and lighten up. youve clearly got nothing better to do than read through 5 months worth of comments. get a life

[zosete]

I have no idea Tool had covered Demon Cleaner. In hindsight, it's the perfect Kyuss son for them.

[ConiferTreez]

KYUSS was about 4 punk ass teenagers getting really drunk and eating a whole shitload of shrooms and by some miracle of nature writing 3 of the greatest Rock Epics of all time. KYUSS was organic, it was born from nature and crazy, wild youth. It was the stuff of pure Rock N' Roll Legend, and you had to be there to fully understand & appreciate what these kids were doing. It was seriously like Sabbath all over again for those who were there.

[hunterthompsonfear]

I wish I was. I had to traverse through QOTSA to get to Kyuss.

[ConiferTreez]

Seriously man, it was all about that innocence of being a teenager.

Those 4 kids felt like superheroes that they were able to create these massive superhuman sounds. The generator parties were sacred times, man. Especially the ones with Brant.

Brant & Josh wrote 'Sky Valley' when they were 18 years old.

Every member of that band should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll hall of fame, but it'll never happen.

So should the Melvins, FUDGE TUNNEL, WiNO, but they never will be.

[stonescourt3]

nicely put, treez...i can only imagine what that feeling musta been like (but then again-- with talent like theirs, they probably thought it was no big deal cause it just comes naturally). as far as the hall of fame goes, well, that's the reason why those and many other bands are better--because they DON'T get in.

[gutsdozer]

I actually have no idea how I WASN'T into Kyuss back when they were around. I was into most of the early 90s "grunge" bands before anyone else around me, their sound reminds me a lot of early Soundgarden, and I know I would've loved them. I knew they existed, but for some reason I never listened to them. I think it's because they were always lumped in with the heavier metal bands on Headbanger's Ball, and I wasn't into that at the time. Now I wish I hadn't missed out.

[ConiferTreez]

ironic, because Josh & Brant weren't influenced by anything outside of early hardcore punk and local "Desert Rock" pioneers Across The River, which basically means they pulled that sound out of their ass at age 16. One of the great miracles in American Rock History.

[mtjurek]

yeah but josh's mentor was Chris Goss singer\quitarist of masters of reality. and so he listenned his records and they played together so they were not all alone. still one of the best bands of all times

[ConiferTreez]

Chris Goss is a member of KYUSS as well, that's implied.

[stonescourt3]

i don't really consider KUYSS to be in the same "lump" with those "headbangers"...most of them imo are like cheezy dog acts who squeeze every last tidbit out until they are finally brought down to having their music in car advertisements or the like ...KYUSS is def apart from the others--quality over quantity dude.

[jonnyrockit]

I like it! Anyone know where to get this recording?

[Toolband42O]

I do, I made the slideshow and put the audio to it... If you have AIM let me know and ill send it to you.

[jonnyrockit]

Nice pics. I don't have aim. I've got compaq nx 7300. I'm taking some programs off cause it's runnin like shit.

[jonnyrockit]

It's alright. Both kick ass.

[AchtungA3]

Tool bows to Kyuss.

[mariutzy]

he is an asshole

[doomyman]

NOT SO BAD

[chowyoungfat]

kyuss version is better, but this is live.. so props to tool

[disgustipation]

i dont really like this version. and i love tool.

[greencage]

this video keeps reminding me of the bands josh homme and maynard did outside of kyuss and tool

[insidious420]

Kyuss & Tool are both great for what they are, no point in comparing the 2 when they're so different. That said, this cover *almost* sounds like it coulda come straight from a Tool CD, that's how good they infuse their sound into anything they cover.

[stellarshore]

who gives a fuck, if you like the sound of a song thats enough, no need to question why or who sung it, who gives a shit.

[Bledsitter]

This is how I think of it:

Kyuss = an untouchable kind of cool.

Tool = a different untouchable type of cool

Comparing two bands of different but equal coolness and rating them = an untouchable kind of stupid.

[Toolband42O]

Nicely put.

[annieyouok1]

amen to that

[7zuma7]

hmmm , I think kyuss is cooler, cause Tool is much more into mainstream. Kyuss showed cooler attitude as a rock band.

[jonnyrockit]

I agree with the showing of cooler attitude. The Tool is more of an epic creation. But I don't think Tool wants mainstream. I like the smaller crowds myself

[youwillbowtome]

hmm its interesting, maynard always disses music that isnt complex emotionally and deep but kyuss are just pretty standard rock, dont really go down many creative avenues. i do love kyuss though coz i dont think all music needs to be deep like tool see it. i mean come on, u cant play tool to have fun or at BBQ in summer for example. i love both bands before u comment. i just think music can also be made for having fun and rocking and grooving and getting down like kyuss. tool for deep thought

[lateralus1337]

I love Tool, but Maynard is arrogant prick. With that said, he is quite genious.

[ebaum1saik]

Kyuss music is definitely emotional complex. It's not intellectual complex at all, but you can tell they love what they are doing and are great at doing it. Kyuss' music creates many emotions. It's beautifully atomspheric.

[youwillbowtome]

id like kyuss's version more if it was sung by garcia

[2ABBOTT]

no, tool are not > than kyuss

kyuss are blissful in their simplicity, tool are inspiring in their complexity. the same emotion is reached.

and that is of good fucking music

[2ABBOTT]

no, tool are not > than kyuss

kyuss are blissful in their simplicity, tool are inspiring in their complexity. the same emotion is reached.

and that is of good fucking music
