A COVER OF TOOL’S “SOBER” THAT SURPASSES EVEN THE ORIGINAL

 Monday, January 4th, 2010 at 2:30pm by

A reader known simply as “Al G” submitted this, and… man, just… I just wanna say, thanks, Al. This is incredible. Truly incredible. It brings a tear to my eye, it does. And brings new meaning to the word “tool.”

    That is seriously fucking good. Makes the original sound and look like Disneyland.

    Sorry Tool, goes to prove that anyone can beat you at your own game.

  • Aaron

    Um- isn’t justin chancelor their bassist? Reguardless, I could only make it half way through this. I would like it better if it was instrumental, like Zombi covering Tool.

  • I’m not racst, but I hate Oceano

    The video is obviously a joke and I didn’t expect the dense MetalSucks audience to get it, but you guys took it to an all new, unexpected level by not even getting that Axl was joking.

      I blame the internet on the recent spike of autism diagnoses.

      • Alex_P

        The internet made me autistic. It’s true.

    • Slaughterhouse

  • Glenn

    “!!!!!111″? WTF?

    Oh dear. The vocals just started. And now there’s more cards with typos on them. I don’t think this guy’s very sober…

  • What Is Your Stupid Haircut?

    Fucking stupid world. I’m done with this site, perpetuating these idiots that want their 15 minutes of fame by acting completely retarded. I understand, it’s a joke, and it’s supposed to be funny because it’s so fucking awful. But it’s not. You’re catering to the “recent spike of autism diagnoses”, you fucking losers.

    • I’m not racst, but I hate Oceano

      Calm down and wipe off your tears you’re embarrassing yourself.

      • Natalie

        I’m gonna have to agree with “I’m not racist” on this one. You’re sad for caring this much.

  • Coop

    Guys, you shouldn’t make fun of Stephen Hawking’s singing. He has his machine hooked up to Auto-Tune and just likes Tool. Assholes.

    “I will sue anyone who tries to steal this.”
    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
    Also, at the 3:48 mark, he remarks that “‘TOOL’ backwards spells ‘LOOT’, which means money. That’s why I like them so much.” (I cleaned up the spelling and grammar. If there’s one thing I won’t do, it’s perpetuate bad grammar.)

  • Facebook User

    at first i gave his trolling attempt a 4/10 but once i read the comments i bumped it up to a 7/10.
