I’m irrationally excited for this. The Salival version of Pushit is one of the best pieces of music I think I’ve ever heard.

The Salival version of Pushit is a masterpiece.

What I love about this version is in the middle interlude you can hear a separate Tabla playing, it’s actually Danny Carey’s tabla mentor. Around the mid 90s before Lateralus Danny went to India to train with Aloke Dutta. He is famous in India for his tabla playing. He thought Danny his meditative drum playing. This recording is the only time they played together live. Teacher and Student!

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times. My favorite Tool song is the one I’m listening to at that moment. How am I supposed to pick a favorite song, when I can’t even pick a favorite version of this song.

If your going to do this version of Pushit it also mandatory to do their cover of No Quarter from the same live album.

Don't feel bad about a song making you tear up. That's the whole point of listening. I cry every time I listen to Wings for Marie. And I'll feel bad when I don't anymore.

To remix is to take a recording and tweak it / add or remove tracks.... this is a complete reimagining / recomposition of a masterpiece to create something completely new and soul crushing. Anyone can remix a song... this is what legends do.

One of the most beautiful live recordings ever done.

Let us all not forget...THIS IS LIVE !! Masterpiece composition. You should also check out the rest of this album, it's full of gold!

You MUST see this band period!!

I remember the first time I heard this version of Pushit. A friend of mine at work gave me a copy of Salival. I played the song on repeat for hours.

It's serendipitous that you posted this the day after I heard it for the first time. I thought of you when I heard this. The whole record is amazing.

Imagine going out there every other night doing this song during this album's tour. Over and over every night, knowing everyone - EVERYONE - is waiting for that exact moment, that last section. Maynard is amazing for giving it his best every single time. What a legend.

You don’t annoy us at all. We love your reactions 🤟

Best live version of music out there. Tool topped their self with this one. It only made it better to hear it live. Made me a fan for life!

Just my opinion but tool are the best band ever. No bad songs no bad albums. Even live they sound amazing.

I was in the audience when they recorded this! Portland, OR...Memorial Coliseum...circa 1990something...crazy show

A good follow up would be THIRD EYE, studio version and then live from this album.

This Salival version of Pushit is to me now what Descending was when I first learned of Tool less than a year ago. My admiration of the band grows - over and over again. Very exciting!

It's only a couple of years older. The difference is this was recorded by the band and put out as an album. The other one was just a home video.

This same album has a Great Led Zeppelin remake. Song is called no quarter. Incredible.

My daughter took me to see tool at the gorge. This is the only band that can being tears to my eyes. Changed my life, maybe listen to jambi or disposition.

The original I see as the victim striking back trying to survive, to carve out a space for itself. This one I see as the victim recognizing they have become the perpetrator, seeing the cycle and lamenting the loss in participating. In the pushing back there's always something lost. Understanding even though it was wrong, it was done with love, just fallible human love. It's haunting and beautiful and I think reflects Maynard's mindset through maturity and becoming a more whole human being.

This song is spiritual for me. My all time favorite TOOL track.

@POLO REACTS, don't worry about the pausing.. We tool fans love to hear what you're thinking and feeling... A lot of us have been down that road for many years and it's very interesting to watch a relative newcomer to Tool react to their music. It's enjoyable to see.

If your doing salival and want a recommendation I would suggest "Third Eye" from that album. It's my favorite tool song. Honestly haven't even listened to the album version of that song since I heard it.

It is nothing short of amazing how this song still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck every single time I hear it, so many years later.

This is definitely the best live version of this song. No doubt sound quality is great and Maynards voice at the very end. Holy cow talk about goosebumps very powerful.

No matter how many times I listen to this version or the original I can't choose a favorite between them.

You HAVE to see them live this year.

Long-time Tool fan here, and this is also my favorite version of the song, compared with the studio version/other lives. That crescendo man... Just top-tier chill-inducing vocals and instrumentation. Also, those drums really did it for me too. Love that tribal aesthetic. And the pauses were no problem for me. You do rewinds, thankfully, so I'm happy. It's hard to find that perfect balance with KZfaq and progressive music, but I think you've got the most reasonable amount of pauses possible. Also, most of us (reasonable people) know you'll listen to it on your own time afterward and enjoy that full, uninterrupted experience. And I'm just happy Tool is getting some more love/exposure. 😁

You can’t even imagine what it’s like witnessing this live. It’s crazy amazing! 🌀🌀🌀🌀

This song, this exact version, is definitely one of the top 5 Tool songs of all time without a doubt.

I saw them play this version in Portland Maine September 2001 and it still gets me in the end. Crushing

Your review was spot on with describing the talent of this band.

"I can hear the drums doing a triangle" Love it.

Easily amongst their best. This one has such an overwhelming physical effect on me. I dove deeply into it once when I was at my darkest place and it felt like going 12 rounds with Tyson: exhausting and brutal. Though it was helpful because I heard in it what I was feeling and knew I wasn’t alone It’s the rawest song I’ve ever heard. It just cuts to your core and shows zero mercy. “Remember I’ll always love you, as I claw your fucking throat away!” 😤

Hey Polo. I have been enjoying your Tool reactions and followed you on your journey. I'm not sure if anyone has told you yet, but Maynard lyrics are the last piece of the puzzle. One of the reasons Tool albums take so long is the meticulous nature in which Adam, Danny and Justin write songs. They are perfectionists and it shows. Once the music is done, they send it to Maynard and he adds his lyrics afterwards. Pretty interesting as I don't know of any other bands that work that way. Keep up the good work my friend.

I've been a TOOL fan for a long time and this is one of my favorites. I still have the Salival VHS tape / CD somewhere.

Never upset at your pausing. I like it since you rewind a little each time you pause...which means more Tool reaction. Really appreciated this one! My favorite as well.

When I saw the Lateralus tour in 2001 I was blessed to hear this version and I was blown away as a young teenager

I love how the Tool journey started off . started with “ That singer this or that” or man that guitar player and drummer .. 6 reviews later and your on a first name basis with them..” Maynard this or Adam that and Here comes Danny!” Hahahaha….. The members of Tool are absolute masters at their crafts and it’s amazing that they all found each other to entertain us all!

I got into Tool back when Undertow came out. When I heard this version of Push It I actually shed a tear cause it took me back to a messed up time in my life. Love it .

Polo, this was fire. Love the reaction! Salival is great, definitely check out No Quarter and You Lied which is a Peach cover, Justin’s former band

Yes. All of that. This Live recording is incredible.

Hauntingly beautiful can't wait for your reaction on this masterpiece 🌀... Polo's stank face I'm a happy camper

If you can in anyway relate to this song and do just what he says at the beginning, throw on some solid headphones, crank to eleven, all I can tell you is, Wow. They reach right into your soul man it's intense.

One of my all time favorite songs in general

Love that you said their names because it is important to remember this sound is being created by a 4 pc band live.

There are two parts of your life. The part before you’ve heard this version of the song, and the part after.

The tabla drums were played by Master Aloke Dutta

I think you need the full context of the original recording to truly appreciate this version. This track has always been one of my absolute favs from tool...great takes/reactions as always!

This whole release, “Salival” is gold. Third eye, you lied, no quarter, all great music man!

So beautiful and haunting

One of my favorites. When they came through Houston last year this was on the set list(studio version). It was the pinnacle of the show for me. Badass tune.

I believe this song is what created the term vibe.

I’ve been listening to TooL for over 25 years, and I’m completely with you on this version of pushit. In my opinion this is better than the studio version it’s not even a comparison. Everything about this song is perfection. Danny Carey kills it, bass guitar,lead guitar and of course the vocals are next level. Thanks for the reaction video. 👍🏼👍🏼

I love this channel. I know I'm late but there are a couple things about this track that are particularly special. The whole intro is built around the tiniest abstract part of the original song. Just before "never want to see that place again" is a tiny guitar lick that built the entire version of this song. No surprise as this is (pre- fear inoculum) is Adam Jones's pride and joy. ANOTHER aspect is during this performance, they featured Danny Carey's tabla instructor ALOKA DUTTA so when the bridge starts and you hear extra percussion, that is Aloka standing in with Danny to hit that atmosphere.

My favorite version of this song as well. I think it's because I got to see them perform it this way in August of 98 at Red Rocks when I was 19. First time dropping acid

Should checkout tool eulogy. I think you would really appreciate this one. Instrumentals are great lyrically awesome. You won't be disappointed

My favourite version of Pushit... Has everything!

Few requests: No Quarter (cover of a Led Zeppelin song and it's hard to cover a zeppelin song), Right In Two (just an amazing song), and maybe Schism which is their most "popular" song and the song most average people like. KEEP UP THE GREAT REACTIONS I LOVE THEM

This is my favourite composition/song/piece period.

It is the superior version, I can't imagine any fan disagrees. Masterpiece.

@17:55 and thereafter we are listening to three musicians at their pinnacle, IMO. It’s indescribable. Lest we forget Maynard take it to 11+ to close it out. FAHKIN SICK.

Thank You Polo! I have seen Tool 4 X and have been HUGE fan since 90s. As you hear and have commented, the talent is top tier. This song and version is No. 1 for me.

We got you Polo. Come on in. One breath-one word.

Just after you mentioned Danny, that drum solo part is actually a duet between him and Aloke Dutta, his Tabla percussion tutor (with whom I'm bookFace friends)

Salival is epic start to finish. It's what really got me into T00L

Yo, do No Quarter next!

Yes it's amazing and I'm impressed with how inside you are going into the songs

The intro and verse riff is taken from a small fill riff in the original and restructured to form a new song. Talent.

This is one of those tool songs that can make me cry 😢 The beginning... it's haunting.

Stankface, this is going to the Playlist!y favorite version too bro! Salival third eye at some point too. Salival version of third eye may be another favorite of your judging off what you are into the most so far.

Dude need to check out the song Passenger by The Deftones featuring Maynard James Keenan. First it's an amazing song I think you'll love and it's a great introduction to another amazing band with a unique sound and amazing drums.

Great reaction video- I love Tool and this Salival album is 🔥....NEW SUB thank you

Ok... still waiting for someone to recommend Third Eye from the 1996 Glass House live session

Everyone in UK just got tickets to Puscifer Manchester!! MJK for £38, saw Tool 3 times last tour, cost me a small fortune. Love Puscifer since Money Shot, so excited!! @Polo See if Puscifer is playing near you, would be an amazing first gig. X

I WAS AT THIS CONCERT IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH!!! YAY!

Loved watching your journey with TOOL its been awesome to watch! I can't wait till you do Jambi!

Nah, you're right. This is the best version of this track. This comes in a close second as my favorite Tool song right after Right in Two and Descending a close third. Ironically, Descending will climb as I age.

Thank you, and welcome to the Tool Army 🙂

You gotta make a video for Third Eye.

Please try Jambi next you will love it.

This is my personal favorite version!🤟❤️

Thank you for the reaction to a pure masterpiece!!! I get goosebumps every time.

Don't fret the pauses. Back in 94 when I first heard Tool my words were " wait, what was that, rewind that, I need to hear that again" We understand.

Closing your eyes going forward is the KEYSTONE

This song and version is one of the greatest things that exists in life.

One beautiful song

great review/reaction, thx. You did fine with the pausing! Tool is the only band where i consider the vocal parts another instrument. Also love this version most.

I just PRAYED for your healing sir

Thanks for sharing your reactions, I have been waiting for this one! Keep it up man!

So glad you got to hear this version amazing I dig it!

deftones PASSENGER featuring maynard is hypnotically good as well. highly recommend to get some maynard in with another band.

Great stuff polo, despite being a long time tool listener I’ve only listened to their main studio albums so I got got to experience this version for the first time with you

oh man I've been waiting for this one!! excellent reaction as always ♡

Absolutely LOVE that you checked this out. I commented on this one on another video you did and I'm glad others reached out on it. Top shelf content, Polo!

Salival is an absolute gem. The covers of "You Lied" and "No Quarter" are totally amazing and undeniable also from that album. Def check out "You Lied" Polo!!!
