    I've been a tool fan since I first heard this song in the early 90's and then went out and bought undertow. You guys have done a badass cover and made it your own. My question is , can i buy this somewhere besides iTunes ? I refuse to buy anything from the iCult.

    I have been a Tool fan for over twenty years and I never dreamed that this song could be improved but your haunting, stripped-down interpretation is simply astounding. You have taken my favorite song by my favorite band and induced me to enjoy it as though I am hearing it for the first time. Bravo my man. Be proud and I look forward to hearing more from you.

    Wow. Best Tool cover I've seen. Typically tool covers tend to lack in the vocal department because Maynard has such a unique voice that it's near impossible to get right but you nailed it man, kept it your own and nailed it. Good job guys!

  • @DanielDavenportWins

    @JonMcConnellMusic  11 лет назад +1

    Hey AJ, thank you for watching our video. And thank you for the critique's. On the topic of the "pedals", there were only 8 taps total. The first tap was to finish the cycle of the loop. The second tap was to switch to the next channel on my gt-10. That channel also has a second control pedal that turns on the delay. Which would be the third tap. So thats a total of three so far. The 4th tap was another option on that channel to engage the pitch shift effect I use.

  • @thecomanchekid

Maybe I am crazy, but the creativity just blew me away. Nice Job! I hope millions are made as a result :-).

    I have loved Tool and have listened to them since the mid 90's and when someone does a cover and puts there own originality on it... in my opinion it has a different quality of sound which this one does. When someone does a cover and tries to replicate Maynard, in my opinion sucks because his voice will never be replicated or reproduced. Keep doing what your doing because this version is great.

    Hi Jon, I noticed this was published in 2012. I hope you're still jammin' and giggin'. I'm 62 years old. I've been playing rock acoustic guitar all my life. Many, many live shows behind me. I've been a live sound man and a studio engineer. I'm a songwriter as well. My point is,.... I ain't never seen no shit like this!!! I've watched several of your videos and I'm impressed with all of them. All of you guys, your drummer and percussionist are awesome. Rockin' the acoustic shows what I've been doing forever and I wish more people did it. It's not just for folk anymore, lol. I hope you will continue what you're doing and make some more videos for us.
