"The Pot" is a song by American rock band Tool and was released as the second single from their fourth studio album 10,000 Days (2006). According to Adam Jones, it is confirmed to be about hypocrisy and is a double entendre that refers to both drug intoxication and believing oneself to be above others, deriving from the phrase "pot calling the kettle black". It became their first song to top the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2008. According to The Rock Radio, a music video was filmed during the holiday season in 2006, however, it has not surfaced.

great effort
not a easy song to cover

[BoundInChains]

4:01 The drummer's expression...PRICELESS!

[tfrosini]

Commendable effort, tough song to cover. Not knocking the singer, but you can't sing "The Pot" like a pop song.

[kennygomien]

I love this because 1, they sound GREAT. 2, they aren't trying to be Tool. I saw a cover the other day where this dude was dressed up like Maynard, dancing like him, even turned his back to the crowd. What a clown. But THIS dude is awesome.

[weishauptmontoya]

amazing drummer!!! really good, congratulations!

[KLRCory]

fucking drummer is on point, that kid should be in a major band already.

[BikeyBoyRob]

nice cover guys.. tool is one of those bands where you can't focus on everybody in the band you just have to solely focus on your own instrument... just so much focus !! but well done and i gotta say the drummer fuckin killed it(mad props to that dude)!

[VoiresGarage]

I personally like what they did with the song. It's a different perspective on a song we've already heard a million times, so I don't think we'd need a replica.

[sneakyjak]

killing the drums, better than most of the bands I've seen in the last twelve months. 

[KinProductions]

The singer was speeding up a bit but that drummer fucking blew me away.

[kevinlovo]

Good job. Vocals are tough. One tip for the singer Tool is not a pop band.

[munky]

The vocals definitely require an older voice. One with a bit of gravel behind it. Not a bad cover overall though.

[WrenchToolTribute]

As a singer in a Tool tribute band I just have to say this is an impossible song to play. Between the weird time signature at the beginning and the sheer amount of screaming (and no, it's real screaming, not power fry, sorry guys) not even MJK can really do it right nowadays. All in all, great job guys.

[confusedtuba]

These kids are better than most covers I went thru to get to them. So why are so far down the list?

[katyork]

Hello little drummer boy! You're amazingly talented! You carried this song.

[churemiad]

Nice!!, I don't understand the dislikes. Your version isn't as long as the original and maybe sometimes the synchro isn't quite good, but at the end the performances are pretty good and the sound quality is excelent!

[accuratealloys]

Great job fellas. Ignore all of the negative comments. Let them try it.
