And the worst thing about being in Tool is that you can never listen to Tool for the first time. At all :p

So true and I have come to the realization that's the reason I am drawn to Tool reaction videos, I get a little of that first time rush and bewilderment vicariously through the reviewers. The music is just so awesome.

NAH

This comment made me feel 😢

So true 😔😔

“I smoke Tool.” _Tyrone Biggums

@John Stotler what?

Much true! I love watching TOOL reaction videos.

Best way to spend a day!

I agree , can't even think how many times in a row i have watch reactions for this , but this dude's reaction is by far the best I've seen on KZfaq , he puts a huge smile on my face every time , that is why i keep coming back, Genuine and real

I don’t understand how a drum solo can choke me up....🤷🏻‍♂️

+1 :)

Think i watched around 25 reactions these days about this song, and there are so much more ..

This is the way music should make you feel!

100%

See, this is a reaction not a guy who watched the video 10 times before planning out his comments. Even if you watched it once before, it still came off as genuine. Thank you.

the only thing straight about this guy :tinysmug;

When he yelled, that’s was amazing😂

Ha! Yes resistance is futile!

Nailed it! #TOOLArmyFaithful 😉

Man im stoked for him when he hears their older stuff. I honestly think tools new album was underwhelming, but probably because it was too careful with breaking new ground

You're a Wizard, Danny! (in best Hagrid voice)

Tool and The Mars Volta are the 2 bands I most get that reaction to from introducing them to other people lol.

CLASSIC

...And its said the devil's never had better posture!

A+++

🤣🤣🤣

I’ve seen this comment with Tomas and Danny interchanging. I’m fine with both lol

It kinda follows that he might take up at the rear of the band. It reflects how the band write songs.

Saw them recently, and it was the normal band setup completely inverted. Drums on a pedestal center stage flanked by the guitarists on either side and Maynard slinking around in the background. Danny is really the star of the show. That said, they really do play _together_ and their songs pass the motif between all four members.

They dont want to show that he actually in plays with his male parts. They hide it. True storry straight from chris cuomo...

Danny carry is living proof that aliens exsist.

Yeah there is a picture out there whare there is a octopus holding drumsticks

Danny doesn't use a meter, that's just Danny

@@johnbjhumphrey3236 r/whoosh

Its the square root of negative 247, pi

How the hell does he play one rhythm on one hand and a completely different but complimentary rhythm on the other hand? Whole nother level...

@@fukcg00gle95 - If one is plays the drum kit, he must be able to play 4 different rhythms simultaneously (both hands and both feet). How do I know? I played the kit in a rock band back in my teenage years (many, many years ago).

lol yes! More like a drum review

Literally came here to say the same thing haha

Literally 😂

You have just made the best you-tube response ever

Priceless 😂

Plus Shpongle mate!

you can add Heilung

@@EricHanquier I was gonna say Heilung aswell :)

Add Dead Can Dance

King Crimson, Yes, Rush, Oceans of Slumber, Within Temptation, Jinjer, but yes short list :)

YESSSS!!

100%

Damn RIGHT!!

I LOVE watching the magic of TOOL hit people square in the mind!❤❤

Ya I'd say it's an accurate description

And he thinks that, because listening to tool sober (no pun intended) is the closest you'll get to tripping on shrooms without actually doing them

Welcome to thee Unknown 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Enjoy!

You're in for a ride ^_^

Same LOL

Pry open that THIRD EYE.

Welcome. You will be the most enlightened amongst your friends. Tool fans are a lovely bunch. We serve warm buttery pancakes with maple syrup on Tuesdays 😌

Orgasm

Saw it in October....phenomenal.

Could not have said this any better.

Me too!!

I came to the comments section to say it puts a lump in my throat to watch this. Love it.

It's the only way we can feel anything in the 13 years we wait between albums

Lmao literally

Natural Psilocybin

and it was a great fucking analogy! lol

TOOL is a whole trip within itself

I Love the way he talks...Sounds just like a Gentleman for me 😊 I really appreciate that he is listening...Not just a small overview, perfect on point 😍 Please just keep in posting Music loving Videos 💪

He literally lost track of what he was doing or thinking or saying...

Clever

James M Keynard is a 10 out of 10 singer.

@@michaelcannon4830 i prefer Johnny Adams, the guitarist

Adam - *proceeds to multiply the first ten Fibonacci numbers by Pi* Adam - “Okay, then what polymetric hypermeter do you want Justin to play?” Danny - “Divide the sum of the 21st - 35th Fibonacci numbers by the sum of the first five, then multiply that by 5. Add 8, then subtract 2.” Justin - “ah screw that math shit I’ll just groove to it.” Danny - “Yeah okay I trust you with it I suppose.”

Imagine 100 people tapping out "Pass the God damn butter" on their legs. That's exactly how they explained polyrhythms during their VIP sessions. It's a 4/4 over 3/4.

LOL

Perfect Comment. 👌

believe it or not this was actually verbatim conversation

The best drummer of all time

Those ripped ass near geriatric arms

@@sneedism I agree completely. The man's polyrhythms are absolutely beautiful and insane.

He is the God

😂💪👌Fantastic comment.

Pretty sure James said that TOOL is a TOOL.

a Journey within

Add Adam's imagery that he developed around Tool (and now with Alex Grey), Danny's OBVIOUS contribution/odd meter introducer, Justin's bass playing is 2nd to none (remember odd signature), and Maynard's voice and LYRICS...an experience

I don't listen to their music but they are my favorite band to see live and I never miss them when they come through town.

"Son of a Benedict Cumberbatch"

It's also a Rush reference ..."building new realities - Closer To The Heart"

he did get that one right on the money... ive heard a lot of desciptions on Tool... this one... top 3!

That's what I thought...good people. :)

Agreed~

Agree. This guy was genuine.

Well said!🤘🏾

His charisma stat is maxed out!

He keeps track.

He’s got his brain split into 4 rhythms which is just literally mind blowing, well my head would literally explode trying to do the same lol.

@@sunnydroth8039 Thats what makes a great musician, when you feel the music. That's what Joe Cocker did as a singer. Some of the best musicians I have met are partially deaf and work with feeling the music.

@@sunnydroth8039 same, I just go with the flow and jam

I thinks it’s a complete lack of preconceptions about what the music and time signature should be. It’s as if he learned to play before ever being told 4/4, 6/8, 5/8 etc were a thing

Oh absolutely, nailed his energy

That old witcher.

It's all those unicursal hexagrams on Danny's drum heads. They hit the subliminal

@@danusdragonfly6640 Probably not all they hit. ;)

😂😂😂

He got me on that one, and then he finished with "Dr stanging new realities"

And he almost looks like Benedict Cumberbatch! All but a good complement

I saw them in February right before the lock downs started. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

You nailed it bro!

best was weeing this live a month before the pandemic hit

True

Chuckles smugly... 😎

id say the second joy for me is that you NEVER see people deriding others for finding the band. I cant think of ANY other band that that is true for. Seemingly everyone that loves Tool is always open for new converts, its a really wonderful thing to see and truly is second only to the reactions of first time listeners being blown away.

@@darkvisiongothacked Porcupine Tree comes pretty close...

Carey: Yes.

We like to call this the 'Danny Carey Signature', really this is the only way to describe it.

@@Thomas-qn4hj 6/8 + 6/8 + 2/8 + 6/8 + 6/8 + 5/8 + 2/8

Predominantly 7/8 signature. Not an easy one to play but you can even find places on KZfaq to learn to clap that signature and then you can transfer to any instrument.

46/2

1991 for me, made me say to myself, why should you continue trying to play the drums, you will never be Danny Carey.

@@Thomas-qn4hj Danny’d be ashamed my man... It’s not about being Danny, it’s about being the best version of you

@@flsleeper and the best "version" of me was not down that path, so in a strange way you could actually say he was just a part of one, of the many "Tool's" that helped me become the best version of me that I could, and some say that one "Tool" in the tool box of life, still plays a part in helping me be the best version of me that I can be on this day, and if I'm lucky will continue to do so as the future days unfold.

me right now lol.

I wish we'd stop using superlatives when describing art. (I know you said 'arguably' but still)

There is no doubt. So much power, and within that band he can do anything he wants, as this video shows.

Carey takes what Peart started into the stratosphere. Peart hit his innovation peak on Hold Your Fire, then mostly fell into a rock-rut that, drum solos aside, saw him play the same stuff over and over again with diminishing technical demand. Carey, though? He goes far beyond any of the polyrhythmic, independence, odd time, and speed experimentations that Peart ever undertook in his songs. Plus, he’s always innovating. He never repeats parts in his songs, unlike Peart, who played that La Villa Strangiato ride pattern a million times over and repeated a ton of other parts in his tracks following Hemispheres.

snareHead1130, so if you were comparing, say, Fiona Apple’s vocal abilities to Britney Spears’ vocal abilities, words like “superior,” “better,” and “preferable” wouldn’t come up?

@@currencyaudio shut up typical tool fan

De Soto, to be exact. I recently worked with a guy who is friends with his dad and frequents his golf shop. He’s got a platinum record framed on the wall.

Michael Pisciotta Paola?

I was at this show and I feel like the crowd had a collective religious experience during this song. It was incredible.

Hes also a big Basketball fan, his jersey collection is insane

He really does. I love it! Once he wore my school’s jersey since we don’t have basketball in St. L

I’m really impressed with your comment,if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?

Really? How should it be arranged? I’ve heard the tools holy gift arrangement of lataralus where someone put the songs in the Fibonacci sequence

truth. best comment ever.

good thing it's never too late to become a fan.

Best shows I've ever seen are Tool. Once sober and many times high, they transport you to another realm. Sonic wizards.

Ditto. Have no musical talent whatsoever, but I appreciate good music.

Moving Pictures, as your avitar? Tool and Rush my 1 and 2

@@Boogman820 I too am a modern day warrior.

I was at that concert. At the end he threw a jersey at someone in the first row and they just threw it right back for some reason.

I've always been wondering whats the deal with the jerseys!!! Good share, thankyou. This lifelong tool fans brain is temporarily satiated.

He's wearing a Paul Pierce jersey. He is from Ottawa, KS, KU basketball. He wears KU jerseys all the time.

@@mattleeper9151 #33 was Larry Bird. Paul Pierce wore #34.

@@tuffguy0134 You are correct. He is a KU fan though.

Haha. Thats actually quite literal. The symbols on his drums. If you know, you know 😉

he is a master of sacred geometry and esoterics lol dude is definitely a lvl 99 mage.

Epic! he really is one! or maybe seven i dont know....

With Danny being into the occult, he would totally love that.

FULL NOISE!!! That’s the official musical term!!! ;) Forget TRIPLE FORTISSIMO!!! :)

@@wackyruss Ha! Full noise is Australian slang for full throttle. It's a measure of RPM not decibels. But that was great none the less

Yeah he would definitely rip a hole in the fabric of space-time at Full Noise! No doubt he and Neil Peart are from the same planet...thank you both for coming to Earth!

@Joshua R ha sure bud

@Joshua R Congrats lol...you have an opinion probably held by like maybe 10 people in the entire world and they are all trolls...

mutant level limb independence...

I NEARLY understood that Lol...! nice!

Its hard enough to eat a sandwich and use the tv remote

Same in thing in Lateralus

It's actually unbelievably easy once you develop that mental separation capability. For me it was an almost immediate transition from semi-compentent to ultra instinct. It's like a trance where the brain disconnects and stops thinking and you just do.

@@charlifainter2116 your.... Jimmy?

Perfect description

Even better was his retraction afterwards haha I know that feeling

There were literally articles in the 90s and 00s where they said he used a satanic geometry to play drums! I loved that.

@@michaelmccall5945 IDK about satanic geometry or what that means lol. I do remember something about the fibonacci sequence though (it's just regular geometry) but I can't really remember exactly what the connection is or how Tool was inspired by and incoporated it.

@@justdave9610 just old propaganda i remember reading in some metal magazines! Hahaha!

@@michaelmccall5945 😁😂

pat your head, rub your tummy , make a lasagna and introduce world peace at the same time.

When you first see Danny play the only way to explain it is magic.

Like, yeah, literally. Their music always has an esoteric tone..... And I live for it.

😂♥️

yeah i saw vocal coach but he never stopped talking about the drummer

The white wizard approaches

Its similar to middle eastern music in that way IMO

Metal in general is written in weird timing. Master of Puppets is written in a weird timing.

Right? Masters of the polybeat

@@avadakedavra69 the Abbot Brothers and Rex, masters too

No doubt. Whenever you listen to tool you have to talk about meter in the plural.

I know exactly what you mean. Some people really crap on reaction vids, but I love seeing someone experience music I love for the first time and get to remember the same feelings I had when I heard it first. I also don't have many friends with the same music taste so reaction vids fills that void somewhat.

This is beautifully written man, completely agree too

It’s pure drum porn, infact the whole song is amazing, I’m on my 10,000 reaction vid of pneuma lol.

Beautifully put. ❤️

Exactly…

Couldn't agree more with you Tool is my favorite band! So much talent!!

I like what you are doing here just give's a little more info on the whole process of how they are making that awesome music. Thanks keep it coming. Steve from Ohio

Tool blows Aleister Crowley lol.

Very well put my nan. Bang on. Just before I watched a couple of rappers react to Lateralus while seeing if it was true that it was played to the Fibanaci sequence. Their reaction was priceless and proves the point that good music transcends all boundaries and genres. Shit, its so dammed good seeing first time reactions like these.

With longer songs and complicated lyric writing.

Much more rhythmic than Rush, deeper meaning, richer sound. I never cared for Rush, too “jangly.” Tool is layers and layers of rhythm and meaning.

... And I've heard Primus is Tool with a sense of humor :)

@@lrwiersum wrong.. apparently you’ve never listened to permanent waves, 2112, and a farewell to kings.

@@jamieharknett9620 Wrong? Lol. Rush has one good song which is YYZ, the rest is squeely annoying tunes.

Green-Lyon what’s funny is when I read the quote it was in Hagrid’s voice. This made my day.

@@DocKing87 That makes me smile :D I'm glad 👍

Haha. Poor guy

i always thought that was the point. i'm a math guy. but tool fandom made me not want to dig deeper. full of snobs. my preference is death and thrash. i always thought if i did it would diminish my appreciation. and for that reason, tread carefully my dude

@@tonyb7615 i find the difference between tool and some other math rock is that tool is more accessible than many. They don't take the math so far that it turns the "song" into some sort of atonal nonsense. That and the style choices and subject matters of course.

Tool reaction videos are the best for this reason.

Right on bro. I feel the same way.

Same I can remember the day, where I was, how I felt on my first tool song in June 17, 1994 in Margate NJ. I was depressed because I had to visit my mother who was crazy, and I was awake watching MTV, Sober came on. That was when I became a fan. I have seen them 2, bought tickets 6 times (got deployed or forced to the field 4 out of the 6 times I have bought tickets). Last time was right here in Nashville in January with my 17 year old who is also a TOOL fan. We geeked out and I cried again.

I came here to say the same thing!
