Tool H. Acoustic Solo Cover

[spaceman26062]

My favorite Tool song.. And you Sir! Just covered the shit out of that song..Your covers are pretty tight.. And Maynard is a hard one to cover.. But I like how you use your voice.. And add your own little spins to the songs.. Nice work brother...

[akangell]

@spaceman26062 Thanks! Much appreciated.  I'm glad it came out ok.

[mcgarnicle201]

awesome!

[livin39ways]

I was very skeptical upon clicking this video, but was pleasantly surprised after watching it. This artist did an excellent job with this particular piece. Keep up the good work, friend..

[akangell]

@livin39ways I appreciate the kind words!

[livin39ways]

@akangell Np man, be sure to message me when you drop some more TOOL covers =]

[NyxxiePop]

This is fantastic

[akangell]

@NyxxiePop Much appreciated!

[ohandi]

I loved this i thought it was great, so simple and great!!!!! I LOVE IT

[DeeZeveel]

Fucking amazing.

[alzazello]

WOW!WOW! WOOOOOOOOOOW !

[tjbaggins]

Good job m8

[MrsHarding1]

I'm really impressed.. Doubted even listening, but so glad that I did. You're quite talented, you mastered and out did yourself on this song! :)

[akangell]

@MrsHarding1 Thanks, I appreciate that. These are fun to learn. Difficult, but fun.

[aidanbedggod]

Fantastic cover man!

Should do schisim!

Would be perfect for your voice

[vandetta13]

see kids? this is what happens when you put your time and energy into a REAL instrument instead of that faggy guitar hero bs

[no1wrench]

wow. i am a looong time tool fan and musician and, just WOW

[JBfly1212]

this is amazing and anyone who says otherwise needs to get off guitar hero and pick up a real guitar, then make negative comments. After a few years, they might sound an 1/8 as good with an 1/2 as good of a voice. People piss me off. Your damn good!

[vandetta13]

\m/ >.< \m/

[TheNchacon74]

I'm breathless!!! <3

[rotterdam1469]

You suck!!! learn to play idiot!!!

[JBfly1212]

@rotterdam1469 are you serious, lol, he is on point. Your a total retard and don't deserve to listen to this awesome cover or Tool. Personally, Id rather enter the hell of the upside down world than not listen to Tool, so you may as well...

[rotterdam1469]

@JBfly1212 WHAT ARE YOU? HIS GIRLFRIEND? you don´t deserve to have ears at alll, obviously you don´t know how to listen. and why do you defend him? he should learn to play and you should´nt justify him.

[JBfly1212]

@rotterdam1469 if you can play this song half as well then post it! Including, the timing and the vocals. Then and only then, I would applaud you. Otherwise, you should reconsider your criticism.

[rotterdam1469]

@JBfly1212 I WILL,

WAIT FOR IT

[Lindipitz]

It is perfect.

I like your voice, its beautiful.

I wished, I could play as well as you. Or sing. Or even sing and play at the same time!

That is a very good cover.

You are good, or god :} like it so much ^^

[ThunderBOner69]

anyone know where i can get tabs?



[deanknight333]

Tis my favorite Tool song! you did a great job..it aint easy : )

[willybean69]

some bongos beats would be awesome touch to this great acoustic cover.

[darknightrei]

wow. Best tool cover I've seen yet

[Greg2162]

amazing cover, I'll pay to see this

[petegropius69]

since a year a big fan, love your voice and play.

Although I have to admit that your covers of tool are my favourite......

LOVE IT.

[TheArabassist]

simply amazing.

[justinsane1981]

Absolutely Amazing Man!!!!!

[SandmanKoRn]

dude...all i wanna know is when are you gonna put out at CD?? i wanna be the first to pre-order Tool: as played by akangell. and im not kidding. a whole CD (or maybe a double CD...tool songs are long and they ALL kick ass) of your Tool Covers would be awesome. and i bet wouldn't be hard to sell. let us know when the release date is...

[akangell]

@SandmanKoRn Wow, thanks. I'm not sure I could even legally do that, though..??

[SandmanKoRn]

@akangell not sure of the lagalities myself. i dunno, make a demo and send that stuff to the record companies. let them know you have a decent internet following. just saying, its a CD i would pay for. please continue putting your Tool videos on here in the mean time. Rock on man...

[MansonFan64]

wow, learning how to sing along while playing guitar on Tool songs? You must have the patience of a god. I'm very impressed. Kudos! :)

[akangell]

@MansonFan64 They are tough, but they're fun!  My timing is probably no where near close in actuality, but it comes out ok I guess.

[fatrat440]

Very nice. I'm a huge Tool fan and not many people could pull off an acoustic cover. But you have done a great job. All Tool fans should check this out.

[akangell]

@fatrat440 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[owens79]

excellent dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BaritonGuitar]

Mister Akangell, you 're ""considerately"" killing me with your incredibly sensitive delicate much loved Toolcovers. I am recording them and raping them a little bit with backing vocals done by me, haha!

Just wondering how a talent can stay so .... humble, modest, friendly, and down to the ground... shyness can have its advantages;

NOBODY disliked your video untill now, 64 people liked it :Never have seen that before...

[BaritonGuitar]

please make a new video with better quality of sound because you deserve to be heard at its best by the whole world

[akangell]

@BaritonGuitar Heh, thanks. Yeah, I did mess up the audio on this one. I'll have to redo it sometime.

[PatrickNally]

i have heard this and the actual version and i have to say this is i think even better than the actual version. awesome job dude.

[akangell]

@PatrickNally I'm glad you liked it! thanks!

[misuerjohnny]

Fucking sweet dude. I didn't think it was possible to successfully pull off this song this way. Bravo.

[akangell]

@misuerjohnny It was fun to figure it out. I'm glad you liked it. thanks!

[Haziebone]

Bravo sir!

[hcgturtle]

very nice, subbed

[rokr107]

I would never have thought this amazing song could be played acoustic, but u pulled it off man.... Tutorial?

[akangell]

@rokr107 Never really tried to do a tutorial. If I was going to teach somebody I'd probably just hand them the tablature. I don't even know most of the notes being played! :)

[davej4ou]

Nice!

[sancho184]

Very good

[pulfdiddy]

love it man, but coulda had a crack at the screaming

[akangell]

@pulfdiddy hence, not very many tool covers on here. ;)

[SkilletJenkins]

to say it was an awesome rendition would be slighting you. Great job!

[CryWolf915]

is it played the same as an electric guitar? or did you compose it yourself? nice job!

[akangell]

@CryWolf915 thanks! I took it off the standard tablature for the song but I just kinda had to pick and choose which part I wanted play where. I'm glad it came out ok..except that the audio kinda sucks in general on this one.

[CryWolf915]

@akangell cool.... could you send me the link for the tabs you used? please.... thanks!

[jprophet420]

Incredible expression.

[krystelyorke]

Love love love this song and this cover !

[elconijo]

i know this is probably not up ur alley of musical taste but have u tried singing sinatra? ur voice is very jazzy and i've noticed ur vibrato is very similar to his. if u havent before, give it a try and post it. i think it would be really interesting to see how u blend with it.

[deamonman45]

I like how strong but delicate your voice is. This cover just chilled me out dude nice job

[akangell]

@deamonman45 Thanks, I appreciate that. 

[krwetton]

Freaking awesome

[i1100a]

Man this was awesome. You gave this song a whole new air. I'd like to learn this on guitar. Would you happen to have the tabs? Keep it up!

[i1100a]

Man this was awesome. You gave this song a whole new air. I'd like to learn this on guitar. Would you happen to have the tabs? Keep it up!

[oOpdOo]

wow. Incredible bro.

[craftyender]

Excellent cover! Great feeling!

[black1swan2green3]

i think i love you

[Eltoro353]

Great dude!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[Bodyrotseven]

energy yeah perfect

[carveawoodeneye]

wonderful!!

[BlowjohnPT]

Very nice man! That sounded good. Cheers from a fellow DMB/Tool-head

[FayeFaye30]

Dope!

excellent work

[Leaflessvamped]

That was chilling, great job

[gfxlab]

awesome job man

[xxxexyz]

i gotta say cus im a huge tool fan... the vocals were great however it just wasnt quite tool... but its also good to here a unique sound almost sounds like that john mayer guy.... now the tabs were perfect the sound was unbelievable... thats my critique

[aboutagirI]

just watched all your tool covers in a row as well.. i gotta say they are awesome

when i see covers like this on youtube, either the voice or the guitar is crap, but you rock em both..wish i had your skills

[xlive4guitarx]

This is about the 4th cover of yours I've watched in a row. I'm very impressed man, just seeing the word cover after Tool is enough to make me cringe, but you got away with it and then some. Amazing man! I wish you were in my area, we'd get together and jam in about 2 seconds.

[akangell]

Yeah they're interesting, especially on an acoustic. They're fun, though. :) Thanks for the kind words.

[emberincarnation]

Really amazing. I'm awestruck keep up the good work.

[akangell]

thanks! much appreciated.

[Soldat7niner]

The talent level inside your soul is ridiculously high. Keep doing what you are doing. I am going to the store to buy a guitar now.

[akangell]

wow, much appreciated. i would highly recommend that, by the way. it's a very fun toy.

[king7wood]

Pretty cool, too, Drew...

[akangell]

thanks.  :)

[kheldoron]

Very inpressive man! Great job!

[akangell]

thanks!

[GitFiddler88]

theres no reason this vid should have only 70 views. ur tool covers are some of the best on youtube.

always look foward to ur covers, awesome job once again.

[akangell]

Heh, thanks. I did just post it a couple of days ago, though, and at first I accidentally had it as private. We'll see if it gets some more views here soon. :)

[Recovrd1]

Akangell!!! Yes....been waiting for another vid from you! U have such amazing vocals. I love it when you cover TOOL. One of their best songs!

[akangell]

Hey, thanks.  I appreciate it. :)
