Obviously, only Maynard knows the answer to this but what do you guys think?

I would have to say Rosetta Stoned. Was just listening to a video of it on youtube, where he Tool was doing RS live. Jesus, that opening part has to be hell.

What do you guys think?

Wasnt' sure where I should post this so I put it in the forum that includes the song I believe has to be the hardest.

Definitely "Ticks," which is why they almost never play it.

And the opening for "Rosetta Stoned" isn't all that difficult if speaking quickly comes naturally. I can do it.

Oh my god. I was never a really big fan of Ticks and Leeches so that's why I forgot about it it.

Just listened to a live version of it.

Christ.

No wonder they hardly ever do it. Maynard would die.

id agree that ticks is the hardest to play and thats why they never perform it live. but, maynard has talked about how incredibly difficult it was mentally and emotionally to play wings live and how he regrets it and probably wont do it again.

I've seen the video, he's using a megaphone or something right?

If he sang it they way it's on the album he would destroy his voice. It's gotta be Ticks, easily.

Straight up, Ticks and Leeches. Most people would never stretch their vocal performance that far, but it is an awesome piece of singing/screaming
