"Schism" from the album Lateralus, by Tool, 2001

Recorded at RaxTrax Recording in Chicago, IL

[JonSudano]

I've been playing drums for close to 20 years and still can't play this song all the way through and this kid nailed it. Brb practicing.

[black]

Kidz bop has definitely taken a turn for the better

[cactusbryce]

Non-musicians don't know how hard this is... just counting the whole time. These kids nailed it

[schana]

Tom Morello would be proud, seeing how high this kid has his guitar

[erinerkkila]

The guy/girl vocal duet is a pretty cool twist- sounds great. This song is no joke to play, the fact that these kids are doing it at age 14-18 is impressive.

[jpal-zh]

Whoever teaches these kids deserves a raise.

[andrewfletcher]

I thought this was the school of rock movie kids grown up doing a cover together

[SpongeBlaster]

To be honest, I like this spot on version better than any of those "I do it my way" kind of covers.
Sounds just like TOOL, which is a great and difficult thing.
The only thing that doesn't sound the same are their voices for obvious reasons, but still managed to find a way for it to sound wonderful.

[francomaggot]

TOOL must be a final exam in any music institute!

[crisscross]

Hat off to the bassist, as a bass player I know how hard this song gets to stay in time with everyone

[nerdly]

Props to any drummer who can emulate Carey's time signatures.

[nihilisthetic]

“Hi honey how was your music lesson today?”
“Oh it was good. Didn’t really do much. Just played technical progressive metal where the time signature changes 30 times no biggie”

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Really love the two vocalists, especially since the song is about a strained relationship so the male and female vocals feel really fitting.

[todd]

so when is jack black gonna kick down the door screaming, shredding an acoustic guitar?

[kaljaadelfiineille]

The guy singing was especially good. The first phrase he came in, his tone really took me by surprise. Nice range, too. And the whole duet-thing was awesome.

[andrewcoates]

Respect to the bass player repping out a Death From Above 1979 t-shirt

[anthonypuleo]

the bassist if definitely the highlight of this cover, he was super into it and he nailed it.

[fbomb]

Not an easy song to cover. This was great!

[kieth]

A vocalist in a cover who’s not terrible and cringey... huh weird

[rjbutchko]

Overall this was just awesome. The instrumentalists are all super gifted, but what I really like is how the two singers sound together.
