Cover vs. Original

Comfortably Numb


Both songs are good, but the Tool version is more modern. That makes the song not better, but I like it better.

Tool is a great band I admit. I have really been getting into them and I must say that 10,000 days is such an excellent album that I can't stop listeing to. Pink Floyd, however, they are just on another level! You can not compare anyone to Pink Floyd.

Sorry, David Gilmour, but you are sooooooo wrong it hurts. This is a cover, done, in fact, by Tool. It is on The Departed soundtrack and it blows the original away. Much better, as if Tool created it from scratch. Plus, they are much better artists and have much better music than Pink Floyd.....which is an over rated band from all the druddies from their era.

If Tool really did do this cover, then good for them. It is not like they are selling it and making any money from it, so they aren't selling out. They are the best band to date and that doesn't seem to be changing. All you Pink Floyd fans, if you don't like this version, then don't listen to it. I like this newer version better.

Hey, I hope this clears this up for all you idiots. This is not by tool but an early version of comfortably numb sung without lyrics --- > by DAVID GILMOUR.

Tool version i little bit dynamic and ending solo sounds great. Now i like to listen Tol version but i can't say that this is better.

I have 0 respect for Tool now that they butchered an awesome song. Forget modernism. Don't ruin a great masterpiece with Tool's trash. Any Pink Floyd fan knows Pink Floyd completely owns stupid Tool. Idiots. I hope they burn. When I heard their little 'remake' it made me sick. Remakes suck, especially when they do it of something that was NEVER meant to be remade.....Remakes should be of bands like Blink 182, Greenday, and various nursery rhymes, because all of that stuff is garbage.

Voted 'I'()()|_ Even though it does not exist...

Who runs this thing anyway???

Well here's a thought - anyone heard the remake of this song by Dar Williams - gives a very different feel to it... try it out.

I'm listening to it as we speak. They have never put it on any album but they've played it live. Stop being thickheaded and do some research perhaps. Tool is amazing and Brick you can kill yourself. The cover however isn't that great at all, one of their worst songs by far.
