    What you want to do is listen to this, then go back to the original by Tool and listen to that about 20 times (or as much it takes for the song to be imprinted in your mind) and then come back here and cry when the song in your head is the exact same as the feelings of the cello artists and drummer.

      I’ve seen similar comments to other rock and metal cello-covers.
      I hate that.
      These are not musicians who play second choice instruments. They (me too) chose to play these beautiful and fierce sounding instruments. And they are damn good at it.
      They excel on instruments unfamiliar in metal.
      These are acoustic instruments that sound metal.
      Find me another one.

      Woah now fellas, let's settle down. I think you both may be projecting here. First off, who's to say that one of them wouldn't have wanted to be a rock guitarist before they discovered their passion for cello? It would certainly explain carbon fibers' passion for this song. Second off, nobody said their mom is still having them practice cello and they still would rather play rock guitar.
      The only reason I have seen any of their work is because of this tool cover, and seeing how I haven't heard anything else and this is my introduction, I want to project my Ill informed opinion too. I'd like to think that rock appeals to them and was probably their root for wanting to play, but the versatility of the cello and their skill and talent with it led them to realize that they could still put the passion of rock into their music, and that they knew a good way to expand their audience was to play songs that have a fan base built in and try to convert those fans into their fans by illustrating their prowess on familiar yet technically impressive songs.
      Or maybe they are snooty and want to show that rock guitar is inferior by hoping to out stage the original version. Who knows? Just them. And I liked the song, regardless of their intentions.

      Nah, that's all instruments. It's like a kiai. When you bring your body into it, it makes a noticeable difference in your playing. Like how people tell you to smile or laugh so you will feel less bad or angry or whatever. Most notable musicians will sway or move their body when they play. It's a physical manifestation of the music that makes its way back into the way you play. I'm sure there are more scientific reasons behind it, but as a musician myself, I can say that it just happens, and it's an obvious difference in sound if someone is just sitting there like a rock, or is actually swayed by the music.

      Mr. Wolfe, YES! Let's "Imagine" like John Lennon asked us to and Maynard reiterated...if we had virtual reality situation (with a blank slate, clean, white room) who would we be, how would we behave, what would be important (without all that we know because of family friends, constructs, paradigms we bought into and deep conditioning that is either self inflicted, deep rooted or both..No hunger, no greed, a brotherhood of man...the purest form of love potential in an unconditional, abundant way allowing for the deep respect and honor of the heritage of being a HUMAN.

    • @Mitchell_is_smart._You2bs_dumb
      @Mitchell_is_smart._You2bs_dumb 2 роки тому

      The same heritage that runs through every animal today, traced back in an unbroken chain of living cells directly to a common ancestor). And how would we relate that importance to the live we lead now? (I just had to close those parentheses for ya, it had been sitting open for a year) While I am a fan of stripping away ego, I think if we just live in a blank plane, it would be hard to realize that the Vienna Philharmonic or the London Symphony Orchestra would be better than a midi. Hell, without establishing the depth and breadth Tool, this would just be a forgotten noise attributed to our birth, doomed to never be recognized and simply be relegated a sign of schizophrenic delusions when your brain tries to index when it happened and makes a mistake because the memory was in a time where you had no concept of time. We all come from that blank place, but we learned to take the good with the bad and make the most of what life puts before us and we grew up. The brotherhood of man is forged in understanding we all have the same struggles, the same needs, and the same origin. That origin is universal, it is the blank unknown that you describe. While we may have taken a few thousand years to travel to where we are now, all of our consciousnesses had a refreshing dip in the common blank, stress free, womb (unless you had a twin that tried to absorb you or a flood of toxins). Once we knew hunger, we understood the benefits of greed. Once we understood we could rely on family and friends, our greed changed to mutually beneficial ambition, as we constructed our system of mutual support. That blank slate creates the paradigm of taking advantage of generosity by creating a disconnect between our individual selves and the knowledge that we are all just pieces of our common ancestor. The motivation to disregard the system and it's fellow members is driven by that universal, unconditional and pure form of love: self indulgence through personal advancement. I'd say the only reason we have a sense of brotherhood is because we stepped outside that blank animalistic state and recognized each other as brothers with a shared origin and shared future. What you really should be imagining is your role in advancing the brotherhood of life we share, if you feel like it is an advancing pace or if it's going sideways or even regressing, and how you can change your role to progress life to what you would consider "better". Do we have reason to believe we should start new lineages on the moon or Mars or Venus? Do we have a duty to propagate the life that may exist already in the corners of our solar system, and if so is it because it is more worthy of its place, is it because we may benefit from the variety and eccentricities and harness it for our advantage? Can we be satisfied just introducing the building blocks of life that lead to humanity and letting a separate wholly new yet distinctly related form of life take over? Does wiping out huge swaths of species matter when what's left is always going to fill in the gaps eventually? Should we stop advancing programming so we can be assured Ai doesn't replace humanity or should we usher in a new form of life that is completely different in hopes of coexisting, even if that means cutting our branch off and allowing more discreet life to take advantage of the new balance? There is a lot to imagine going forward, and little reason to imagine hypothetical impossibilities.
      Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of a universal blank slate being drawn out, where competition is introduced gradually at a pace that all of humanity can relate to. I've always thought we should just convert Australia into a "blank slate" like educational system and ship all the kids there until they cross an arbitrary threshold into responsibility where they can be assessed and placed in a position that reflects their talents and preferences. That just seems too daunting to implement or even define.
      Tl,dr: Yes, I'd love to hear this fleshed out into something more complex like a full orchestra. If the three cellos and one drum set sound this good (call it VHS), the original variety of instruments sound amazing (blu-ray), the improvement of complexity (resolution) to 100+ performers on 25+ different instruments along with maybe a chorus would be "holy shit" indeed (3D 36k), even a chamber orchestra would be wild (4k)

    I love this video! I just wish UA-cam would quit interrupting it with a commercial. I would rather watch two commercials before the video starts than to have music interrupted!

    WITH MY FEET UPON THE GROUND
    I LOSE MYSELF BETWEEN THE SOUNDS
    AND OPEN WIDE TO SUCK IT IN
    I FEEL IT MOVE ACROSS MY SKIN
    I'M REACHING UP AND REACHING OUT
    I'M REACHING FOR THE RANDOM OR
    WHATEVER WILL BEWILDER ME.
    WHATEVER WILL BEWILDER ME.
    AND FOLLOWING OUR WILL AND WIND
    WE MAY JUST GO WHERE NO ONE'S BEEN.
    WE'LL RIDE THE SPIRAL TO THE END
    AND MAY JUST GO WHERE NO ONE'S BEEN.
    SPIRAL OUT KEEP GOING
    SPIRAL OUT KEEP GOING
    SPIRAL OUT KEEP GOING
    SPIRAL OUT
    KEEP GOING

    Just seen Tool perform a profoundly perfect mind blowing show at little ceasars arena in Detroit Michigan. Man Our seats were perfect for all the senses. I'm certain it changed my life.
    This is pretty impressive as I grew up playing 1st string violin.

      I saw them 3 months ago too. It was PERFECTION. I love seeing orchestras playing Tools music. It's so freaking beautiful. I played 2nd violin in high school. I would've loved to see we could've played Lateralus. It is such an epic song. Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
