Apart from the Lead guitarist doing the Bass solo at 3:44 (Lol), a solid effort lads. Sure you've all gotten better considering this vid is nearly 3 years old.
Technically brilliant. Sounded great from the get-go; I was expecting the singing to be a big let down, but it was just as awesome as the drumming and guitarwork. The only thing I think you need to work on is your image/theatrics/stage presence, if you want to make it big.
The head-thrashing gaylord guitarist on the right needs to piss off. The timid shoegazer of a bass player needs to piss off too. Go back to your caves the whole lot of you until you get some life experience, rather than running on borrowed emotions.
Great cover guys! Everyone sounded tight... As a drummer I know how hard it is to replicate Dany but great job! Tight performance! Guitar and bass were felt.!
OH MY FAAWWWWKINNG GOD that was good even if you guys practiced that for months or 2 hours timing is impeccable seriously don't break that band up. Synchronicity of that level is not common.
como diriamos esta es otra mala basura de intento fracasado de copiar a una excelete banda con esa mala interpretacion cambien el cantante por una voz de verdad
Wow. You guys are pretty good. Did you guys use a book when practicing? I cannot find good tabs for this song anywhere. If you have any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
@AcademicPistol his voice cracked, he's doing it in a lower octave, and he just straight up effed up. I'm sorry, but I if I can do better, I'm going to dog on someone's singing
@skyebeen Not everyone is as technically talented as you but it's the passion that counts more for me. (At least he is better at using capital letters than you).
You don't suck dude. (Drummer) It is not perfect, but I think you played it nicely... Yeah, true missed some notes but still you guys pulled it off... Nice cover. It is not often I say this for a tool cover... But yeah, keep it up dudes... Hope you guys come up with your own stuff toolishaded lol... Enjoy.. That is the greatness of music...
First song my band covered. Pain in the ass to learn on drums, but we got the hang of it :p even though our vocalist struggeled to sing this as he forgot when to start singing :p but a fun song to play on drums! We also did a parabola cover.Tool is awesome to cover and especially on drums :D
Wow, impressive. Love the guitar tones, good work drums and seriously, props to the vocalist. You stuck to your own style and still sang it fantastically. Really good. :D
props to the singer man u rocked it. im a singer 2 and i do tool in my band, its pretty hard to pull of but you just need to work on the high pitch stuff and you got it.
Notice they are only a few Tool cover vids...that's because it's pretty damn hard to play. As a guitarist for a band that plays three Tool covers, It's tough as hell and we are not going to tackle Vicarious any time soon. Kudos to you guys and I agree, if someone want to hear it played just like the orig, plug in your headphones to your ipod. Great tone on the guitar. What's the guitar set-up?
Hi. I'm 22 a female and I've definatly had sex before. It was good. But this might just be better than that. The beginning without all the fancy cd effects actually sounds beter in my opinion than the original version. All I need to know now...
@EternallyFalse Thanks, appreciate it. We're all really into music, so we had a great time learning this, it was a particular challenge though because up until 2 weeks before this video, I had never listened to tool. These days I would pay much more respects to his drum part...people on here need to realize, we were a bunch of kids about to graduate from high school and playing this cover note for note wasn't on our front burner at the time.
haha, fuck what the haters say, you guys did a great job!! I've been gigging for almost 20 years and I've seen bands that suck ass get regular bookings, you guys sound great
i want to see that vocal on stage! he has really good voice, dont stop singing man i hope you'll be discovered soon and sing on the huge stages in festivals etc.
Band...that would be quite good with some individual metronome work...lose the singer. At best he's like if Flavor Flav were to attempt singing this song. Seriously, is that Chris Farley singing vicarious?
@529ark Of course of course. I suck so bad...could barely get through the song, I can't play in 5/4 even if my life was on the line....except I somehow did.
@529ark just because he cant play like danny carey doesnt mean he should commit suicide XD my drummer can play danny careys shit, but thats because all we listen to is TOOL
@529ark well, if he cant play 5/4, explain how he was in time with the song, which was played perfectly.... your a retard and you probably can't count time sigs for your life
Man, people sure are giving the kid on vocals an undeserved hard time. Its not always a cover band's job to sound exactly like the original. If you wanna hear an exact copy, stick to your CDs and mp3s. Besides I have never heard a cover singer sound even close to Maynard but who cares. Personally I respect what he brought to the table. It was still pretty bold and that's not easy to pull off.
I'm not going to put down anybody because it sucks to have people just criticize you without offering any suggestions, which for me would be to pick a different band to cover for your vocalist. Most of Tool's songs have a subtlety to them which is very difficult to match, and even though you're hitting the notes, you're style is still too aggressive for these songs.
