[blablue7]

omg...this....this is wonderful!!!! way to go ;)....brilliant :D

[Dcpdanzig]

Your really good you've inspired me to go home and blow the dust off of my tool CDs and crank it up!

[FloydofOz]

Really good work out of these Tool covers. Beats the piss out of Dave Mathews

[2old2Utube]

Brilliant...!!!!!!!!!! Great arrangement and very talented.... the guitar was a little out of tune but short of that its awesome. I would buy this ..............

[dereksharp80]

Found this by accident and I must say this is an amazing cover. Great job bro!!!!

[jrock0145]

Great Cover!

[modernrockbro]

Oh yeah.....got tune downloaded. Added to my favorites on here too. Thanks bro.

[NyxxiePop]

Just now*

[NyxxiePop]

I would LOVE IT if you posted a how to on this song or any other tool song you know. I'm just not picking up guitar and tool is my FAVORITE band, and this is my favorite song. I'm going to go check out the rest of your videos now.

Subbed

[akangell]

@LarryCooperMusic subbed..??

[LarryCooperMusic]

@akangell Subscribed.

I like you're stuff, I subscribed to see more.

[LarryCooperMusic]

Dude.

Hell yes.

Very Good.

[akangell]

@LarryCooperMusic thanks!

[ttennebr]

Awesome! As stated previously I never thought it would make it acoustically but you nailed it. Thanks for sharing!

[akangell]

@ttennebr I'm glad it worked out ok for ya. Thanks!

[modernrockbro]

Dude I'm gonna so totally download some software so I can add this track to my music collection. I gotta hear this version driving down the road, and during the summer when I'm chilling outside have some beers. Do you have an album for purchase?

[akangell]

@modernrockbro I've been thinking about throwing some covers on iTunes but I'm not really sure how that works legally.

[modernrockbro]

@akangell Not sure either. Sure there's probably a youtube vid that covers someone on here going thru the process. Wouldn't matter if iTunes and Tool got 99.99% of profit, as long as you got some air time. :)

[mrsipps]

Very cool!!

[PermanentNovice]

This is like the last song in the world I ever would have expected someone to do an acoustic cover of, but I like it.

[akangell]

@PermanentNovice That's why it's fun to do. I'm glad you like it!

[PALTOOL1111]

dude i would pay you to teach me this song, we been waiting for years for you to do a tutorial so why dont you? wheres the tabs? what you waitin for?

[akangell]

@PALTOOL1111 Ha, sorry man. I've never written tabs for anything. Not even sure I'd be able to get it done. I just used tabs I found online, though, and sort of mixed the bass and guitar parts to come up with what I have here. I got everything from tooltabs.net.

[danielle0123456789]

Awesome :)

[Lukinuk77]

that was unreal!! great job bro.

[SyntheticsV2]

Wow this was really good :D

[hmitchell1229]

I need a good tab to this song

[MrGunnyjack11]

u did very good on the guitar part and the vocals were extremely close to tool in some parts witch is hard to do

[hmitchell1229]

wow u have an amazing voice please marry me and make sweet sweet music with me

[RamonVerheijen]

Bad timing on rests :/

other than that its pretty good

yout cover of H. is damn good btw

[akangell]

@RamonVerheijen I don't even know what you're referring to, so that probably explains that. Glad you liked H. The audio on that one didn't come out very well. Been thinking about redoing it.

[RamonVerheijen]

@akangell Funny that u don't even hear it yourself.. maybe i had to be a little more specific, i notice it here and there but the ending rif made me send that comment.

U know u play the ending rif 4 times, but your rests between the 4 rifs are really off time it's nearly getting to a 9/8, but the 4 measures are just 8/8.. or 4/4 however u want to see it.

If you really think you're doing it right maybe you should try to count while playing, hope this helps

[akangell]

@RamonVerheijen I never said I thought I was doing it right. In fact, quite the opposite. I'm rather certain the timing is completely off most my stuff, not just this.

I know how to read tab and try and play a song as close as what I can. I know nothing about time signatures, 4/4, 8/8/ 9/8, or anything else like that.

So yeah, I'm sure it's wrong. It works, though. :)

[RamonVerheijen]

@akangell lol 4/4 means there are 4 quarters in one measure as for 8/8... 9/8 means there are 9 eighths in one measure... so that means there is some kind of an overflow of 1/8.

But you wont need that knowledge to get your timing right, I usually just listen to the song. Check out a good cover or a live version rather than looking up some tabs. Anyway keep playing, gl

[Soulendeavor]

Very cool! How the hell did you record this? What did you use???

-Steve

[akangell]

@Soulendeavor Thanks! I've got an AudioBox USB input and a Macbook.

[Whitestripe143]

what a voice.

[KingJamesNBK187]

so fucking amazing and soothing, put me right to sleep!

Very inspiring man!

[Tspoiler2]

Are you kidding me? This is freaking awesome, man. Amazing, really.

[19aneurysm]

[trickykid0011]

[zxcvtypo1]

couldn't have done this any better..great job man

[fubar752]

again and again i find myself coming back to this cover. Ive shown all my buddies and its a hit man. make a cd and send it to me haha. i cant get enough

[akangell]

@fubar752 Ha, thanks! I'm glad it goes over well. Hopefully before too long I'll get some more Tool stuff up here. I've got a few I'm mostly done with. Just need to get through a couple of spots to consider them complete.

[badfishlisa]

This is INSANE!!! great job dude.

[tonypata]

I love a good acoustical cover, thanks.

[flyazzwb]

glad i stopped to watch this, super dope man!

[akangell]

@19gibson85 Heh, I appreciate that, but I think maybe you should go ahead and play the original again. That song with that band is amazing!! Thanks, though!

[kontroledkos]

don't really know what to say that you havn't heard already...great job...and "rama lama ding dong"...there I bet no one has said that yet!

[akangell]

@kontroledkos Ha, thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

[czach21]

So glad you put your own vocals on this and love all your dmb covers. You got any original stuff floating around I can watch?

[akangell]

@czach21 Yeah, it wouldn't even be worth trying to sing this like Maynard. Can't be done. I'm glad it came out ok, though. Thanks!

[cyberjutsu]

very ambitious performance. when you consider that you are trying to pull off a song that is normally performed by multiple talented musicians - and the fact that Maynard doesn't play another instrument while singing - you are doing great. keep practicing it until you smooth out all the little rough edges! best of luck - positive energy toward you and stuff ;)

[akangell]

@cyberjutsu Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I've gotten it down a little better now. It's a heck of a fun song to play, that's for sure.

[SoWachuWan]

So... what did you give the devil?

[oneonlyson]

Fuckin awesome!

[akangell]

@oneonlyson Thanks!!

[TheYvette83]

not bad



[TacticalShooting1]

Badass man...Nice work!

[DibbsIsHere]

Dude... I've watched many tool covers on this thing they call youtube....... THAT WAS GREAT!!!! Thank you.

[akangell]

@DibbsIsHere Gotta love the tube.  I appreciate the kind words!

[fubar752]

I only come on youtube for covers and I must say this is probably the best i've ever seen. Great job man!

[akangell]

@fubar752 Much appreciated. Thanks!

[fubar752]

I only come on youtube for covers and I must say this is probably the best i've ever seen. Great job man!

[queenald]

[willybean69]

Dead on timing, awesome vocals, stunning acoustic sound. Rock on!

[akangell]

@willybean69 thanks! i'm glad you liked it.

[Daniel290684]

Dude... that was AMAZING!

[akangell]

@Daniel290684 much appreciated!

[xaoxtheory666]

like the blending of bass line into the guitar riff thats awesome i never thought to even try that...badass bro

[akangell]

@xaoxtheory666 thanks. i always feel like i need to do that with these songs to get the whole feel of it with a single guitar. it makes them tough but when i get all the way through one it sure is fun.

[vpollockv]

yeah man, amazing dood! you need a band brother!

[akangell]

@vpollockv Thanks! would be fun. I've n ever had a chance to play with another person at all.

[JohnSumner13]

@akangell You don't need a band at all, man! The solo thing is what makes you different and stand out!

[TheEyedeaOfYou]

My second time watching this and it's STILL as bad ass as the first time! Well done mate!

[TheEccentricdreamer]

By far my favorite Tool song, though they are all amazing.

I must say... you're cover is flawless.

Guitar's right on time, your voice is perfect.

Not many people can pull such a cover.

Over all, insanely beautiful.

[akangell]

@TheEccentricdreamer Thanks, much appreciated. It's definitely an interesting such to put together on the acoustic. I do it a little bit different now than when I recorded this, but only slight changes. Fun song to play!

[TheEccentricdreamer]

@akangell I have no doubt that it must sound even more beautiful! But it's a very difficult song, I tried playing it... and it demands serious skills. If find it hard to play, I can't imagine how hard it must be singing it also. You have serious dexterity. Once again, bravo.

[nebraskabound2010]

This Should Have More Views!!!

[akangell]

@nebraskabound2010 So send it to all your friends! :)

[sxolguin]

DAMN! you got skills boy!

[parsajamshidi]

Wow this dude's got brain, "apers" gonna hate! keep us amazed!

[mvloser]

[MathiasTemplar]

Awesome cover, nice vocal dude :)

[ausable92]

Simply unbelievable! This is my favorite Tool song and it's like hearing it for the first time. Thank you!

[akangell]

@ausable92 Thanks! Mine as well (although they're all great). I'm glad it came out ok.

[beery5]

LOVE IT ;D

[BaritonGuitar]

Hey, akangell, I admire you! very! much! it is my very favorite Tool-song. But studying the guitartab... so difficult for me and my kind of lazy fingers..Now I happen to watch you, young boy, you do it so good I almost start to cry, ...you..singing and playing at the same time... bravo!!!

[akangell]

@BaritonGuitar thanks a bunch! much appreciated.

[ThePrbda]

masakra teach me man

[MrBigDaddySweet1]

You got talent!

[akangell]

@FenderGuy33 i'm glad it came out ok. thanks.

[FenderGuy33]

@akangell

not like my opinion matters but just lettin you know bud haha

[akangell]

@FenderGuy33 No sense trying to sound like Maynard. Just gotta do what I can. I'm glad you liked it!

[chucholetsm8one]

Nice.

[itpaniri]

Bravo. You're overqualified for YouTube.

[nygaben]

congrat, amigo, that's what i call cover ;)

[aleceiffel7]

BAD-ASS! very nice cover (both the guitar work and vocals).

[DirtyHomeles]

Dude that was amazing! 

[Lrogerz44]

[phantomson9]

This is great man!!! Good job!! Im learning Right in Two right now and its pretty tough, this seems harder!!! Great great job man. Good voice man.

[TheArabassist]

i wanna feel the changes coming down, i wanna know what i've been hiding in my shadow...brilliant XD

[beatnikbr320]

holy shit that was great i'm impress bro

[dazma22]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[elconijo]

haha i just played the drums to this w. pencils!! but, like always, the solo fucked me straight in the arse. 

[camfay77]

LOLOL. Very ambitious but very cool version

But whoever your cameraman is should be shot (was it you?). You've had over 8,000 views and we've all seen your wardrobe. Maybe next vid come up with a different set :)

[RyanUnplugged]

pretty damn awesome

[akangell]

@RyanUnplugged thanks!!!

[codybob2]

Savage! Great cover of a great song!

[25secondsperframe]

nice interpretation on one instrument fella....impressive

[akangell]

@25secondsperframe thanks! it was interesting trying to decide which parts to play where. I guess it worked out. :)

[heartofdarkness21]

very good i never expected to hear this from one guitar ,, well done !

[akangell]

@heartofdarkness21 yeah, it was fun playing with to try and make it sound ok. i'm glad it came out alright.  thanks!

[manoterror]

Just fantastic man. Good on ya!

[akangell]

@manoterror thanks. it's a fun one!

[bawetter]

Brilliant!! Love it!!!

[akangell]

@bawetter thanks!!!!

[johnymorda]

sounds really good..there's lots of things going on in the original version, I've never expected this migh be that interesting played only on one guitar...Well done,mate.

Tool i also my favourite band!

[akangell]

@johnymorda Yeah, it was a little interesting trying to decide what to play and when. I'm glad it came out ok. :)

[pedgeman]

Brilliant cover, love this version, well done

[akangell]

@pedgeman thanks! much appreciated.

[deasave]

genial.. me encantó tu versión!!! excelente..

[jbax86]

Sounds great!

[pallknowing1]

that was perfect!!!! you made a nice decision not to SCREAM and point out the amazing lyrics.......and u can't seek a cat past me

[I26]

Without a doubt, AWESOME. Guitar playing was great and the vocals were spot on.

[imgellings]

Damn good job man! I loved it, this is my favorite Tool song too, and great vocals!

[akangell]

Thanks. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm glad it came out ok. :)

[TheEyedeaOfYou]

&^*&%&$%*^&*& Stunning!!!!! I find it kind of ironic that you, like me are huge DMB fans and TOOL fans, I also fins APC amazing as well. Keep it up my man you're doing great.

[akangell]

Thanks! Much appreciated. I guess it's just a matter of the fact that they're 2 of the best bands ever!!! :)

[jdavidrhea]

Well done!

[akangell]

Heh, thanks!

[akangell]

Yeah I'll have to play with that a little bit and see if I can make it work. These are tough because I gotta decide which guitar part to play (bass/guitar) in order to hear the same song on a single acoustic. I appreciate the feedback and the kind words!

[v92lude]

dude, yes....thats all.

[akangell]

thanks.

[PALTOOL1111]

i always wonder if maynard ever see's this kind of talent on youtube? this is one of my favorite songs and i think you would do him proud!

[akangell]

i wouldn't be surprised. he's definitely into social networking. i'd probably never know if he did see it, though. anyway, thanks for the kind words!

[ZormKc]

This is an Excellent Acoustic version of one of my most favorite songs in the World. Very nice job man. You have to be playing that guitar with only "muscle memory" to be able to sing so well at the same time..........WOW!

[akangell]

Thanks! It's one of my fav's ever, too. Nice play on muscle memory, too. :)

[JessicaCanFly]

You are simply amazing. Your cover is so warm, and your voice is angelic. I love this.
