I've heard better covers. Vocals are a little weak. You got Maynards posture more or less right though.. My guess is you wouldve done a better job if you were high off your fucking ass.
lol stop trolololing guys. This guy's just acting exactly like Maynard does in concerts, a spaced out looney. I give him thumbs up, easily Maynard (maybs not the vocals)
You look like an actual retard who's trying to punch flies out of the air, but that's OK you sang nicely enough. If that's actually how the music is making you feel, and that funky spasm dancing is what's happening as a result, then fuck it, keep on. If you're doing that for the sake of being just like Maynard then that's just really weird and you should stop forever. Let the music fucking move you, not impersonations... But again, your singing was good considering Maynard is one of a kind.
This guy is frickn joke that cant sing for shit!!!!! I mean seriously there are a few guys on here that can sing the Tool songs [Adam Monroe and The Sordid SInger], but this guy BY NO MEANS is one of them!
I particularly liked how you worked your balls from 4:11 to 4:20. and how ya gave us the side profile choad shot in the beginning after dialing it up off screen.
overall, I liked it. little thick.. but was sincere for the most part.
no offense man, but this is rubbish. Looks like you brought singing in your car to youtube, no bueno. You copped out on some key vocal parts, and were off by a quarter note after the 2nd verse. The impersonation is a bit over the top, but i admire your bravery
Ummm, didn't TOOLbassplayer, Opiateofthemasses, & matter311 have a different singer in their "collaboration"? I think I like this better..except for the last 20 seconds. Opiateofthemasses does an excellent job recreating Adam's sound.
why is everyone talking about "my own style"? im pretty sure when you do an impersonation you want to try and look, sound, and act like the person you are impersonating!
that crazy light show i put together is my television (CSI 7pm) ...just out of view of the camera.
I wish this is what youtube was more like...things that make you laugh and cry and fall off your seat... no offense benjamin but thats what really happened to me... and with in the first like 20 secs I was down... there clutching my stomch, this was a really committed and solid effort... haha as long as your having fun buddy...
I hope the dancing like Maynard and dressing like him was a joke. Seriously, that's pathetic if you're trying to flat out copy him. Don't become a tool, get your own style.
I don't see why everyone's bitching about this. The dancing is somewhat awful, but I never liked it when Maynard did it either, so it's no personal criticism. His voice is quite fine, besides when singing "under a dead ohio sky" and such. A noble attempt performed pretty damn well in my opinion, which is more than most of the whingey little bitches on here are contributing.
afer "you are the voice thats been calling me back home". You rushed it. Good try but looking at it from a cover stand point, you didnt nail alot of the harder parts(the yell at 4:48 for instance),your voice is to high for solid maynard cover, and you need that maynard grunt. The cover was OK. sorry for the honesty but thats what you can expect( from a bitter tool fan).
jealous of a guy dressed exactly like another guy in a popular rock band,who's trying to dance exactly like the guy he's dressed like,while surrounded by posters of the singers band he's trying to dress and dance like,while last but not least who's singing voice sounds like a dieing animal???
NO
i'd rather be me,than someone that wishes they were someone else.leave the dancing to mjk and leave the singing to the mjk or the few other guys who can actually sing well enough to cover maynard
The stink of envy still permeates from your comments..
Your hidden desire to be able to sing and dance half naked on youtube is showing through in your utter denial. Just admit it.. who cares who sees anything?
if i could sing,it still wouldn't change the fact that this guy can't,lol
envy is perpetuated by people who post covers on utube of themselves dressed like a popular rock singer,while butchering his songs vocally but still have the nerve to attempt to dress and dance like him=benjammin
completely pathetic as is ur inability to hear accurately
"completely pathetic as is ur inability to hear accurately"
Completely pathetic is your attempt to sound like Yoda.
No, I don't care who sees anything; hence why I said it. Neither does BenJammin here --apparently-- considering his willingness to present himself on youtube half naked and having fun dancing like a "popular rock star", and presenting his untamed voice to the masses.
I can still smell the envy permeating from your very pores. It must stink even worse on your side of the screen
ha,no yoda speak,that's just called intelligence and having a degree
benjammin might not suck as hard as u do,but then again that isn't saying a whole lot
again envy is clearly benjammin and your pathetic attempt to try and stick up for this shitball of a performance,lol
ur musical appreciation is that of a 3rd grader listening to hanson
u can continue to deny truth and defend this dreadful envy from this poser,but it won't change the fact that this sucks and so does your hearing ability
dude there is no way you cant see the humor in this I watched this and laughed my ass off. Its frickn classic in the sense that this guy is prob. in his moms house just before dinner rocking some tool. Anyboby have a sense of humor?
\Isnt there a point around 13 or 14 were you stop pretending your a rock star?
