Tool (the band), covered by one guy on his accoustic guitar, must see and hear to believe!

[dyerseve]

Maybe they have given up on their new album having seen this guy cover their material with one instrument and two hands!
(for those of you not familiar with the song, skip to about 1min in to get a true idea of this guys talent)

for fellow Tool fans, his cover of Lateralus is also mind blowing:

Wow, modern Andy McKee.

i'll agree the singing is a bit pants but the fact he can even get words out while doing that is amazing

[Adrenochrome]

Damned good that!
I really like the Koto ensemble version of Lateralus for a very different sound.

Seconded.

[dyerseve]

I'm surprised at the comments about the "singing" it is entirely tongue in cheek!

[The59Sound]

It's like putting a big brown line through a Van Gough painting - why do it?

[dyerseve]

he's just having fun with it I guess. i too think it would be better without the vocals but the guy has to have a little fun along the way.

[dyerseve]

Definitely having fun with it:

Undoubtedly a phenomenaly talented musician either way. Would be very interested to see how good he would be at just playing straight guitar. Pretty bloody good I would guess!!!

[PawelG]

I've always found this very cool. Not just the beginning but the song too.
