watching him silently and passionately mouthing the words with all the intensity that it was sung in the original song is something to behold

[JamesIsAsleep]

Scariest day in that drummer's life - "Hey you know what would be cool, if we did a cover of Lateralus"

[reyp]

I don't always spiral out. But when I do, I keep going. Stay Metal my friends.

[zacharymcginness]

My dude with the carbon fiber cello was feeling that with his whole heart.

[fernandoguerrero]

You forget, sometimes, how many talented people there are on the planet.

One does not simply play Tool on a cello, thou must bang thy head.

[Colt-Forty]

You can tell the guy with the carbon fiber cello LOVES Tool. The emotion made this even better than it already is!! Amazing.

Band: "Hey (cello) fancy drumming for us? We just need someone to drum for us while we play the cello?"
Drummer: "Sure thing. Sounds fun!"

Day 1 of practice*

Band: "We're doing a Tool song...."
Drummer: "SHIT!"

[BastetMusic]

As a drummer myself, I can only imagine what must have gone through that man's head when he found out he'd be covering "Lateralus" of all things. Fucking A-1 job though

[TheApostleofRock]

Props to the drummer getting that part in five that builds back into the solo

[hollycrouch]

Maynard's voice was played by a cello, that's insane

[stephentrager]

I've seen a lot of metal. And, this is metal.

[spergferguson]

I really wonder what aliens think of humans when they observe us like "well over here they are beheading each other, and over here they are coming together to play music, that is fucking adorable"

[GMSJohnny]

Somebody give that guy a fucking MIC!!!

[lanarober]

I like to imagine Maynard relaxing in his vineyard, listening to this cover.

[BecksWood]

love how he sings the vocals while playing

[smartacus]

The way that man mouthed the words as he played made me cry.

[jhendrx]

Who else feels like all of them were committed to this?

[emaunto]

i love how the dude can't help but sing some sh*t.Spiral out

[aFeverishFiend]

I wonder if the members of Tool have come across this auditory gem, so passionately played and inspired.
