Holy Tributes Batman!

It may be unreadable, but 12 of the above albums are tributes to Tool :o

Hello MuseontheMind-ers!

I hope you're all having a fabadabadosy evening (or night/ morning/ afternoon). I've got some music to share, but first I'd like to pass on a little tid-bit my mom told me - apparently, Maynard James Keenan of Tool (if you don't know this band you MUSE... *spell check* MUST go check them out!) specifically indicated that Tool songs could not be made available on iTunes, but the music from his other bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, are available. So what do I do after I hear this? 

Go straight onto iTunes and check it out for myself of course! 

And what do I find? Well... take a look at the screen shot above! 

So you can't get any official Tool tracks, but you sure as heck can get your full gamut of tributes! There's something for everyone whether you're in the mood for some Baroque Tool, string quartet Tool, Gothic Tool, or for the younger audiences, lullaby Tool. Yep. 
I've linked a couple samples below - my personal favorites are the Piano covers!   


Schism - A Baroque Tribute 


Sober - A Piano Tribute

Thought I'd just tack this last little bit onto the Tool tribute post since it has some connection :D

Amy Lee in the music video for "What You Want"

I downloaded Evanescence's new album a couple days ago (a 5-year hiatus! Has it really been that long??) and I absolutely LOVE it. Amy Lee's vocals are just as sweet and powerful, but the music seems to pack a heftier punch in this, their 3rd self-titled album. 


So, the song in question with the connection to Tool? Take a listen:

Sick


Forty Six & 2


Beginning riff. Need I say anything more?

Cheers!
