Hyperpotamus - Prison Sex cover (Tool) // 08-10-07

This time we had the whole crew and a decent room (at least for filming). Took place 8-10-07 - thanks for everyone who came out!!

To the idiots who find it necessary to needlessly flame: get a life. Critique it fine as we want to improve, but really, this is just for fun - no one's forcing anyone to watch and certainly no one's getting paid. Put it into perspective before you let your words define the moronic mentality you may possess.

Even your drummer looks a bit like Danny Carey

if you're describing yourself, you misspelled fag with an 'n'

I'm a drummer, and IMHO your drummer needs to spend some quality time with a metronome and/or play with a click.

you guys are a disgrace to any tool fan..

I must say thank you for the comments. You were honest yet helpfull, not bashing. We are just a bunch of guys who get together every other friday and jam out. Some of us practiced and others didn't as you can see. Most of the time we get bashed on the singer and to tell you the truth it gets old after awhile. I think people mistake us for a real band. We just like jamming together. Thanks again drag0nk1ng74.

Now as far as the stupid comments about your looks; if you are good the way you look means nothing! Some of ugliest musician in the world, are the most talented (and get ridiculous 'tang). In closing you guys should work on counting an timing. All of you. Then I would work on getting the singers monitors set up in such a way as he can actually hear what he sounds like. Voice coaching certainly wouldn't hurt either.

Most important fact; you guys had the balls to even attempt Tool. Keep working!

Ok, from one singer to another, sometimes we need to face the fact that there are some voices we just can not do. Taking license with a songs sound is one thing, but in order to respectfully cover someone else's song you have to ensure that you have the range to do so. Maynard is a seriously difficult dude to cover, so right off the bat I give you props, but you always want to make sure you are doing the song justice. Just because you can play something doesn't always mean you should.

I would like to to give you guys some constructive criticism. Do not automatically assume I am being an asshole. That being said; I want to start with the most important thing I see missing in this; I am not sure any of you guys are counting. I see the bassist and drummer on a completely different time. The singer is tapping to a completely different song. Counting is absolutely the most important thing in any band. It is the only thing that ensures that you are all together.

When you audition for a drummer it's all about the look you know baby!!...wasn't he on saved by the bell?
