Tool (the band), covered by one guy on his accoustic guitar, must see and hear to believe!

[dyerseve 638]

Maybe they have given up on their new album having seen this guy cover their material with one instrument and two hands!
(for those of you not familiar with the song, skip to about 1min in to get a true idea of this guys talent)

for fellow Tool fans, his cover of Lateralus is also mind blowing:

Wow, modern Andy McKee.

... and to think that there are those that suggest that original artists shouldn't play 'covers'..! Thanks for posting.

i'll agree the singing is a bit pants but the fact he can even get words out while doing that is amazing

[Adrenochrome 22]

Damned good that!
I really like the Koto ensemble version of Lateralus for a very different sound.

Seconded.

[dyerseve 638]

I'm surprised at the comments about the "singing" it is entirely tongue in cheek!

[The59Sound 263]

It's like putting a big brown line through a Van Gough painting - why do it?

[dyerseve 638]

he's just having fun with it I guess. i too think it would be better without the vocals but the guy has to have a little fun along the way.

[dyerseve 638]

Definitely having fun with it:

Undoubtedly a phenomenaly talented musician either way. Would be very interested to see how good he would be at just playing straight guitar. Pretty bloody good I would guess!!!

[PawelG 723]

I've always found this very cool. Not just the beginning but the song too.
