@@dantemack88 His voice is enjoyable but in a different way. I miss the growly anger in his voice when doing Tool but if I listen to the latest album thinking it's A Perfect Circle it's awesome lol. But yeah, the choir style melodicals he does nowadays isn't really Tool
I think one of the most underrated aspects of Maynard is his ability to get handed these crazy songs/instrumentals 😂 and put great vocals and a story to it.
What he did with Rosetta Stoned is maybe the single greatest reactions to a piece of music ever put to record. How the fuck do you hear *that* piece of music and respond with that all-time great vocal and lyrical performance?
Tool doesn't block. They love sharing this sort of content. If you contact the band they might be open to letting you use the isolated vocals. Maynard especially believes in art and educating people about art and its value in society and our individual lives. Great video. Not a singer but it's always fascinating to learn how one performs vocals like this. Especially Tool/Puscifer vocals.
Unfortunately the thing is, it's the record label that blocks stuff. And I believe mostly it's done automatically- they'll have a setup where any copyrighted audio is automatically detected and flagged. I don't know that for certain, but that's the impression I get.
wow, hearing a world class vocal performance being broken down by a male vocalist in that field....doesn't get much better. I have appreciate the emotional/visceral response of many other coaches, but this it the first I've heard that goes into this level of technical detail. Absolutely outstanding, thank you!
Agreed. Though, “Hooker with a Penis” is the most pissed off song of all time. I feel like he’s able to capture anger at this point in his career, whereas on Ænema he just literally was angry.
@@EricLS agreed Ænema you could tell he was upset and frustrated and at the outro “I’m praying for rai-an” (he extends the “in” in rain for it to sound like “rayen” again amazing song and talent
Wow, I’ve never seen a breakdown video that not only talks about what Maynard is doing but also teaches it and replicates it in spades. Killer video! You’ve got some amazing vocal chops👍🏻
Finally a male vocalist breaking down Maynard’s vocals. This is refreshing and was needed. Not taken anything away from the woman that have done it, but to really have a better understanding of Maynard’s voice you really need a male vocalist that knows what he’s doing and this guy does an excellent job in breaking it down.
The perfect person to react to this song, since you’re both a fan and a very talented singer/teacher yourself with a similar voice to Maynard’s! It’s definitely among his greatest vocal performances, there’s so much nuance and unique power to his performance that is a joy to listen to yet he also makes it all sound so effortless while sitting up there in that upper area. Maynard’s a technically talented singer but his voice also has that ‘special something’ to it, his vocal tone is just naturally pristine and pleasant no matter what he does with it. Love this video! Would love to hear you react to something by Graham Bonnet in the future, for example his solo song “I’m a Lover” (ridiculously good vocal performance), “Hiroshima Mon Amour” by Alcatrazz or “Stand in Line by Impellitteri. Very powerful, effortless voice back in its prime.
Chris, for the pure record here, as someone that comes from a VERY musically talented family, but also as just a musical lover, you are absolutely insanely talented, my friend. Much respect and appreciation and thanks and love.
I love these breakdowns. They let you in on subtleties that you can apply to your own singing. And the way Chris demonstrates with his own voice what the artist is doing....golden.
Really? Tool is easy for me. What makes you say The bar is set unbelievably high? Then again, Sober was one of the greatest songs for my vocal development. I’d like to understand your thoughts on this.
@@ciphergrey6298, I would say that if you look at the development of Maynard's vocals, he has always been at the top of each process. If those are the skin-shivering screams at the Opiate EP (love Hush, Jerk-off, and the title track), Undertows' energy, phrasing and dynamics (well, he had awesome help from Sylvia Massy, who is an awesome crazy producer and helped him deliver on spot, you can read stories as she ordered him to run around the blocks outside so that he was angry at her), Aenima is just another planet for me man if I have to be honest, that's when Tool peaked in my opinion as a band, but the vocals just take you to another dimension. Then his vocal technique was world-class at Lateralus and 10,000 days and the latest album as well. That's why I believe that the bar was set unbelievably high and as I can assign specific characteristics of performances to other vocalists, Maynard seems to be quite complete.
I seriously have never clicked on a single video and not learned something. Your consistency is inspiring and truely speaks to the understanding of your craft. Your a game changer man and I think your being stifled for it; you should be WAY bigger than you are.
@@chrisliepe Joe Barresi, the engineer of this album, had a lot of really cool production tricks he used on this track you can look up. Really creative stuff.
Love how you do reaction videos, and all your videos. Your demonstrations and explanations, and how to internalize it in a personal way, but it is more than technique you bring out. You show how to reach deep into your own heart and pull out your expression. These are treasures. Thank you so much Chris for all that you are and do.
It's interesting how in the intro he masked his voice by making it thinner and lighter and ended up sounding more like an aggressive female vocal, which is more impressive cause if you listen to some of his other stuff where he sings much lower you can definitely tell he doesn't even have a naturally high thin voice.
Maynard's performance on this tune is amazing. It's an extremely wordy song and his timing and phrasing is on another level. I've been working on it off and on for a week and it's tough.
You taught me things about a song I've listened to countless times before that I had never noticed. Always a good feeling to get goosebumps when you finally notice a particular technique. Definitely earned a sub from me
Was lucky enough to see this live during the 10K Days tour in 2007. They play it a whole step down now, which is totally understandable as MJK is older and that song is hard as hell to nail.
DUDE!! Lot of vocal coaches on here and most of em just talk about it vaguely or maybe sing the same notes, but damn you can back your shit up! Great talent dude. Subscribed
Just started listening to Tool 2 months ago...cant stop going down theese rabbit holes of people reacting to their songs! each one enrichens my experience! Such incredible musicians!! Don't think i will ever go back to "Booring" metall...
"hopefully youre experimenting with your voice while im doing this" your insight on how maynard is singing like this is helping me try to evoke what he felt as i sing along to this. granted im 4 shots of vodka deep but it still significant i think
This was awesome to listen to. I've been on a bender of watching tool reactions and this is a great different taste in the middle of that banquet. Thank you very much, it was super interesting.
My favorite Tool song. So many great intricacies in the vocals. So glad there are people breaking it down. I honestly don't think he sings a melody line the same way twice except for the "Weeping shades of indigo" line in the 3/4 bridge (or whatever you want to call it) section. Some things, like the chorus, might be close to the same but there are always at least small changes to the note selection. Even if it's one or two notes, such as how many different ways he sings the word "high."
When I listen to this on my system and actually pay attention to the song I get chills the entire time and can’t stop drumming along to it haha. Also the bass guitar in this song I hum way too much randomly haha
Chris, you deserve a Noble Price in phisiology of singing :) awesome video, sending this to my friends who listen to Tool to encourage them to try to sing. You are a hero, man!
What I always hear (when listening to their music) that's so different with Tool from all other bands is the symbiosis of massive but not dirty guitars and very well voiced drums with ever present Maynard's velvet color to his voice, kinda like soft veil hanging over it at all times that makes it such a pleasant listening experience. What this guy is describing does takes practice but I think that many of the singing skills, especially in rock music come naturally to vocalists like Maynard, Plant, Sting or Gillan. They are simply gifted with tons of ability to feed off of the music that fits their natural tendencies where most others have to train hard just to get similar results. With vocalists like that, there is always a huge dramatic element to their voice that cannot simply be copied. Another thing that wasn't described here at all is the feel for the underlying beat if the song and maximizing the effect of it by alternating between using the vowels, either with emphasizing the hard beat and inserting syncopic element with very skillful phrasing and using the unique elasticity of English to drive the emotion. Every TOOL members understands better than anyone else today that the sound of every instrument (and voice is an instrument, too) is critical to emotions they want to evoke for everyone, including themselves when their music is being played. Pot exemplifies this more than any other of their music. It's just pure perfection from start to finish.
Never seen your videos before but I will watch more. This is by far the best "reaction" video I've ever seen. It's more of an analysis rather than just some dumb surprised faces. The way you emulate Maynard is second to none. Makes me consider the process he went through to create the vocals to this song.
I understand not wanting to immediately do this song again, but would love to hear your compare/contrast of the cover from Sophia Urista and Brass Against at some point. The Tool Army is picky about covers of MJK, but this is one of the few that get the stamp of approval.
Bro, awesome video and breakdown! Just a humble suggestion from a fan with no channel and zero followers, I'm sure you get this stuff all the time haha, but there are a few times where after hearing your analysis of a pass and explaining what's going on, it would be nice to hear it again before moving on. Just to kind of be able to hear it again once armed with the technical knowledge you provided. Thanks for doing what you do!
Please analyze Warrel Dane from Nevermore, one of metal's greatest voices. Give a listen to The River Dragon Has Come. There's a live version on UA-cam which really shows his techniques.
I can’t recommend Tesseract enough. They’ve had 2 vocalists and both are absolutely incredible. A few highlights of each are Nocturne and Proxy for the first, or Concealing Fate (PORTALS version), Smile, and Hexes. The first singer has more natural talent and just sounds like an angel, while the second is far more technically savvy and can do far more range
Chris! Another recommendation. Check out Jonny from Nothing More! That dude is insane and has quite a variety in their last 2 albums. If you need some songs recommendations: 1. Don’t Stop 2. Jenny 3. God Went North 4. This is the Time 5. Go to War Can’t go wrong with any of their songs but I tried to find some diverse options!
I'm so into Tool, that I've now been subjected to watching UA-cam reaction videos just to get my daily fix, ONLY after watching Danny Carey live drum cam Pneuma every morning...
While this isn’t my favorite tool song, I think this song has his best studio vocals by far. Just unreal. I remember when I was 9 when the album first came out, I asked my dad if it was the same person as the rest of the album. Like it just is that different of a performance. I think 10,000 Days is when Maynard was in his vocal prime.
Thanks a lot man. I have a Tool band cover and you really helped me out with this video. I still can’t get that intro time though, he sings independently of all the instruments and it’s hard as hell 😅.
Technically I’ve never analyzed Maynard’s vocals, I’ve just let his unique qualities do their thing to enhance Tool’s music (and A Perfect Circle/Pucifer) but when vocal coaches such as yourself break his technique down, I have come to realize his vocal gift goes above and beyond just being about unique character. Bottom line, he is a purposeful, master vocalist who’s voice is as powerful as any of the other outstanding instruments in the bands he sings for.
I love these vids👍helps a lot with my vocals, been on a deep dive with Chris Cornell and learned a lot from you on how to annualise vocals, keep up the good work fella.
Anyone else get chills listening to Maynard sing?
Yes
No, his voice is not as enjoyable live anymore 😞
@@dantemack88 bruh he's older. He's going to age. Lol
@@Merovinjian lol same 😈

I think one of the most underrated aspects of Maynard is his ability to get handed these crazy songs/instrumentals 😂 and put great vocals and a story to it.
I agree!

Great video. Not a singer but it's always fascinating to learn how one performs vocals like this. Especially Tool/Puscifer vocals.
Unfortunately the thing is, it's the record label that blocks stuff. And I believe mostly it's done automatically- they'll have a setup where any copyrighted audio is automatically detected and flagged. I don't know that for certain, but that's the impression I get.
Finally a reaction channel that doesn't just pause to say OMG this is so good.
Double heart! :) thanks for noticing and watching!

You're so very welcome! Thank you for watching, appreciating and seeing the value in my approach!
Maynard captures anger better than any other vocalist I've ever heard. I've always loved how pissed off he sounds in this song. It feels so real.
Even when he’s quiet and subdued he sounds angry :)
Agreed. Though, “Hooker with a Penis” is the most pissed off song of all time. I feel like he’s able to capture anger at this point in his career, whereas on Ænema he just literally was angry.
So what youre saying is that you dont know who Corey Taylor is
@@EricLS agreed Ænema you could tell he was upset and frustrated and at the outro “I’m praying for rai-an” (he extends the “in” in rain for it to sound like “rayen” again amazing song and talent
@@damanOts he sounds angry when he tries to be. This is not really the same.

It’s definitely among his greatest vocal performances, there’s so much nuance and unique power to his performance that is a joy to listen to yet he also makes it all sound so effortless while sitting up there in that upper area.

Thank you Tool…taught me how to listen to music. Welcome to the Tool Army if you choose…🇨🇦❤️🙏
🤘🤓🤘
What can I say it's my favorite Tool Song (Vocally) and it makes so much fun to sing! Now even more with you helping out. Thanks a lot Chris
You’re so welcome!
My favorite too! There's just so much going on in the vocals! So hard to try to learn correctly...
I absolutely agree 👍🏻
I love these breakdowns. They let you in on subtleties that you can apply to your own singing. And the way Chris demonstrates with his own voice what the artist is doing....golden.
I love how Chris nerds out over Maynards Heaven sent voice. I know brotha. I know.. 😭💯🤘🏾
One of the greates vocal performance in the whole TOOL discography, even though the bar is set unbelievably high.
I very much agree Mikolaj!
Really? Tool is easy for me. What makes you say The bar is set unbelievably high? Then again, Sober was one of the greatest songs for my vocal development. I’d like to understand your thoughts on this.
Cipher Grey- i would say maynards dynamics, vocal agility, and odd cadences in phrasing make it unique and difficult for some

When I was just a wee lad I always thought the intro was sung by a woman. Such a great voice.
RIGHT!?? He really does a good job at becoming a different character for this one, especially at the beginning!

Remember, MJK’S intent is to sound more like an instrument rather than as a separated voice. He likes the background, literally and figuratively
Man Chris, you've been nailing it. Big wreck and now another Tool? Crazy good stuff. So much to learn from these incredible vocalist/songwriters.
I've been having a lot of fun digging in lately :) Thanks for coming along!
Was lucky enough to see this live during the 10K Days tour in 2007. They play it a whole step down now, which is totally understandable as MJK is older and that song is hard as hell to nail.
One of Maynard's best! Who am I kidding? Everything Maynard does is Maynard's best!
I got to your channel from Courtney LaPlante...but I am gonna stay because you got a bunch of Maynard. Consider me subscribed!

Thanks for the sub!
when you replicate the exact phrasing bang in tune with same tone and expression, impressive!
Hello Chris, you are realy the best Vocal Coach I´ve seen in my Life.
My favorite band of all time!
Chris teached me vocal rasp/mixing voice/hitting high notes without actually teaching, he's a pure talent i think, thanks a lot!
Inspiring
Thanks so much for making these videos. Your analysis is what gave me the confidence to join a Tool tribute band. Keep it up man.
One of the greatest songs in my arsenal,when I first learned my true voice, was sober. Props to Maynard!

Love your videos Chris! It blows my mind how much you sound like Cornell when you add that grit to your higher notes 🤘🏻

Very helpful with the broken "crow" scream. I'm having trouble with that singing Maynards songs. I sing to clean. This was great. Cheers from Sweden.

full 100% agree. it was because i heard that cover i decided to learn this song
Same!
I’m learning so much! Please keep doing more reactions like this
I love the way you describe different vocal tones, the distribution in body. Not something i see often.
I absolutely love how you break down all the nuances he's using! I being a layman totally overlook it, I just know it sounds good, so I listen haha
I love all of the tones in this song. Amazing recording from top to bottom
Such a primal and tribal feeling. Awesome video
For me, it was hard to focus on listening to vocals, because instrumental part is so f*** cool in this song! Love it!!!
I enjoyed that mate ... thanks for doing it 👍
Is it me or is he repeating Maynard's vocal range perfectly? Dare I say maybe a lil better? 🤔 (In my head) Impossible!! ........but maybe lol
MAN you have a great voice yourself! 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you!
MJK is the man in music. 💯🔥🔥
Ufff amazing vocal review of Maynard :P I really enjoyed it
Muchas gracias Chris!! Cada vídeo tuyo es una experiencia de mucho aprendizaje y mucho disfrute.

Comment for da algorithm
Streak count: 129
Hell yeah one of my fave singers
I was so excited because at first I thought this was Mudvayne! Oh for the sweet love of God please do Mudvaynes song called Dig. You rock!
That would be absolute insanity and I’m here for it if you’re up for that craziness Chris haha
Please analyze Warrel Dane from Nevermore, one of metal's greatest voices. Give a listen to The River Dragon Has Come. There's a live version on UA-cam which really shows his techniques.
I love this!
Awesome stuff thanks Chris!
So many of my interests condensed into one video!
NICE ;)
Go back in the track 5-10 seconds after you pause. It helps getting back into track after an explanation and we get to hear it again
Top reaction Chris! One of my fav all time bands!!!
Maynard's voice is like the ainulindulae, the song of creation in Tokien
Thank you so much Chris! 👍🙏
MAynard is a great master of singing.

A few highlights of each are Nocturne and Proxy for the first, or Concealing Fate (PORTALS version), Smile, and Hexes.

1. Don’t Stop
2. Jenny
3. God Went North
4. This is the Time
5. Go to War
Can’t go wrong with any of their songs but I tried to find some diverse options!
Great exploration of the vocals, super fun.
