I was there too brother! Killer Show! 🤘

@@dylanjones7769 Sweet bro. Hopefully they will do another next year.

Gojira AND Tool?!?!?! I would never need to see another show in my lifetime.

Zac Ownbey SOAD and Ghost the night before as well🤘

@@dylanjones7769 SOAD was amazing!

Yup and Yup somemore to the Yup. Haha Charles.

In about 12 more years

@@dgs5809 Haha. Timed right when a new tool album drops.

NEXT TOOL SONG plz

I want to hear a JAMBI reaction.

I was just thinking that, literally lol. And then the part right after... "I cant imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change my friend." They didnt really give the lyrics much thought or review. Tool isnt about groovy beats like they want, tool lyrics are always front and center in their songs.

I think they did great for a first listen. Mentioning that mom flushing it away references mother Earth, looking up L. Ron Hubbard (and his quivering upper lip), ect. ..

why pessimist...? he hope LA will flush away... i call that an optimist...^^

I thought they kind of glossed over one of my favorite lines which is "followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits "

Just remember, we've been listening this to years, decades even. It's difficult to wrap your head around it all on first listen.

Jesus Christ aka became Alex Jones 🥴

Learn to swim...

hicks , the legend himself

No it’s not lol it’s about the end of the world. the idea for the song came from Danny having an out of body experience while having a colonoscopy. He flew about the Egyptian plateau and was confronted by a 20 ft pharaoh who told him how the world was gonna end. And right as he was telling him when it was gonna happen he woke up. You can find him explaining it all

@@MK-ze8xu Interesting... I'll def be looking into that.

You have to be an outstanding percussionist to cover Tool! RIP!

@@justrichard2491 The band used to call him 'the human metronome' or 'the heartbeat of the band'. We were in a recording studio one day and they had Scott (my husband) lay down the drum tracks first. He played through all 12 songs and then had an idea for one of them. The producer says "You want to re-record it?" Scott says "Nah, man just punch in." He said "Dude...you sure?" Ten minutes later the additions were made. The producer turned to me with this awed look on his face. "I been a musician all my life, been recording people for 20 years...NEVER have I ever had a DRUMMER who could do a perfect punch in like that." The rest of the band were like "He's awesome." - The rest of the day and the next Scott spent napping on the couch in the studio while everyone else recorded their parts. It was just a bit hilarious to me that he'd laid down all 12 drum tracks in less than 2 hours.

Thank you for sharing that. Sorry for your loss. Anyone that appreciates tool is family to me. Hope you're doing ok and I hope he rests in peace. God bless 🙏

@@mikealexander2005 Thank you for your condolences. It's been 14 months since I lost him so it is still quite painful and I still cry at least once a day. I'm getting by with help from friends and family, his friends have been so incredibly awesome. Guys he was friends with since childhood, many that were groomsmen in our wedding and his former band have been so helpful. Checking in on me and our son and helping with home maintenance that I can't do on my own. The last two Christmases were *hard*.

Sounds like your husband was one of a kind, thanks for sharing :) You write beautifully.

the grudge is one of the best songs ever composed .... not just the greatest tool song.

Forget the scream it’s all about Danny’s solo

The whole song is amazing .

I thought that was definitely gonna win over Aenima.

No idea why this won over "The Grudge"

Ryan Free best album EVER.

@@harrymananus5380 Lateralus is even better.

It’s my favourite of theirs but the skits in between songs make it a tough album to listen to start to finish.

Toolfans: "listen to Tool People: "ok what song?" Toolfans: "P R I S O N S E X"

Because that bass guitar gives me shivers up and down my spine. Tool knows how to use their musical tools and most of all the bass. It's all about that bass.

@@maureenwagg5305 No treble

I'd like a discussion about Disgustipated.

That's my thoughts as well. Name a "bad" Tool song

The Great Tuco same. Aenema far from the best on this album.

Good shout. Especially since they noticed the more calmer tone of this song. I think H is the same.

Great suggestion!

a very underrated song by them imo, and I honestly think its one of their best!

I don't mind. I don't mind. I DONT MIIIIIIIIIND!

I was so bummed they didn’t read out the lyrics to that verse. So effing good!!

Outstanding catch! 😂😂

I actually feel like reading the lyrics hinders your immersion. Treat his voice as an instrument, just 1 of 4, and their songs take on new light.

I remember as a teen listening to the entire Aenima album and it was just an amazing experience - do it high and have your mind blown

From beginning to end it’s an amazing album.

I definitely like this idea.

No

Oh man absolutely

There's so many bands that this could work really well with. The likes of Metallica, Sabbath, Megadeth, Mastodon, Machine Head, In Flames, Pantera and Ghost would be interesting in their own right, for very different reasons in some cases.

Yes yes yes

Yeah they did! I saw them in Ohio in like 2003. Great show

Bro, I live in East Toledo. I walked to the show with 12 other friends, down the street from my house. Back then, Tool shows felt personal. Now... I'm sure you get it.

Shit I betcha there's more tool fans than meshugga, I don't even like them

She sounds like a progressive

@@joetroutt7425 depending on her age she’s probably from the hippie generation. So of course.

@@joetroutt7425 MAGA likes this song too, they're no fans of Hollywood

Idk about that. Tool has a big rock radio fanbase. A lot of those guys dont even listen to metal.

There's a lot of overlap, but definitely Tool has a more mainstream audience that doesn't care for Meshuggah, and there are some extreme metal fans that don't care for Tool's sound at all. I think a lot of us like both, but definitely not all.

There’s definitely overlap because of the psychedelic aesthetic, the long and grinding song structures, and the strange rhythms. But to your normal rock or metal radio listener they don’t sound the same at face value.

Tool took Meshuggah on tour with them a bunch of times when Meshuggah was just getting established - so it's likely the bands themselves are fans of each other.

@@Howard_the_Duck huh?

Scott Schoenkopf I try to get into Mastodon which had incredible musical ability similar to Tool but the vocal quality is awful compared to what Maynard does.

@@krt88nc I totally agree. I just can't get into Mastodon like others do.

phuse99 hicks would also do a soft open and introduce the band

Chris Rowe Third eye has a clip from Hicks' routine about drugs and personal freedoms. Really powerful quote from a jokester.

@@j.r.huffnstuff3549 yup. Great quote too. I think God put that stuff here for a reason. I think of them as spiritual tools.

RIP Bill

@@j.r.huffnstuff3549 My favorite along with 4° at least in the first two

My thoughts exactry

I think of that everytime I hear this song lol.

I think gojira and meshuggah maybe would've been better, but guess tool also has the unusual time signatures

Not that weird of a match-up. I saw Meshuggah open for Tool on the Lateralus tour. Tool and Meshuggah both work in odd time signatures and are considered prog-metal. Yes, completely different approaches to prog.

@@Dagoth_Ur_1 yep, exactly

yeah, i don't really consider tool to be metal.

And this is why I love progressive approaches to metal or rock or whatever music genre you are because you can get wildly different sounds based on the same roots just with more influence and experimental stuff.

The first tool song i heard was Sober. My aunt introduced me to a lot of great music.

My first tool song was a reactiom my friend had me do too parabol/parabola and then this song. Im loving too soo much. I can't wait for my friend to show me more!

I saw them opening for rage against the machine at festival in 1993. Fan for 28 years now

I always thought it was a reference to the irresponsible manchild calling out to mommy to make it all better with the listener knowing it’s well beyond her pay-grade.

Was thinking this exactly.

nah. it's the same old shit. it's just new to you

@@360.Tapestry although on an exponential scale

@@360.Tapestry Oh it's much worse now then it was 20 years ago. lol

@@360.Tapestry la is statistically shittier now. Due to literal human shit flooding the streets.

He studied different cults , geometry etc too he's a genius

It's very true and Master Atoka? (Spelling) spent a lot of time with Danny and I believe is credited on this album...eulogy maybe? Been a long time since I read up on it

hvitekristesdod even better live with the whole crowd singing it. Amazing.

What about "So good to see you, I missed you so much" ?

@@muffmuff3631 it is beautiful, especially contrasted to the rest of the song, which is quite chaotic

Wings for Marie/10,000 days s is just another level. Over the past 13 years that song has gone from a top 10 song to Tool's masterpiece. It's beautiful in a way that none of their others songs are.

And the way he says “give way” gets me every time. It’s almost like turning “way” into two syllables and then cutting off the word perfectly.

I mean that's just to name ONE.

Yes react to Vicarious please!!!

Vicarious should've won. These polls man 🙄

I crank this one up in the car and sing very loud along with it. I get strange looks if i am at a red light. I am a 55 year old woman jamming to TOOL!!!!

Vicarious is one of the weakest songs on 10,000 Days. It's paint by numbers as far as Tool songs go. I'm glad they're ignoring it.

Ayeew Tasko get back to vin and soris channel

@@dirkdiggler6316 Hey Dirk! I never left!! :)

Yes the Grudge!!!!!!

Yes the grudge!

Ayeew Tasko lol I know I see your requests it’s just funny to see people from their channel in other channels

san francisco and silicon valley should be flush away... down to san francisco bay... that would be a great start for armageddon...

They're all his lanes

Ryan martinie is the only one who can keep up imo. I’m just a drummer tho, so don’t burn me at the steak lol

@@justinwilder3514 I live in Peoria so I can't fault you for that.

Their best song probably

Miles ahead anything from Aenima. I don't get the fuss about this album, I love Lateralus & 10.000 Days, but I can't get into Aenima even after 10 full listens. Just geniuely not that great

@@TheAskald Aenima is amazing, genuinely great.

Salival version of Pushit. 😊

@@TheAskald Aenima is the pinnacle of Tool, hands down. It has vitality, rage, prog, metal. Just a different life force from the later albums, which are great in their own rights, but just not on the same level.

Same here. I miss the "two dorks in their garage" vibe, but I'm going to check out the rest.

Yeah, I like Aenima a lot, but Parabola is much better, maybe their best song (together with Lateralus).

Joey Hard to choose both bands have a shit load of great songs

Amazing song(s), but not ther most "prog" First time I heard Danny play in 4/4. 😁 Didnt believe it ever happened.

Oh they didnt do Parabola yet??? lol well that's 4 songs now , Vic , The Grudge and Reflection.

Benjamin Smith was disappointing.... they didn’t grasp the idea behind the skng

Hell yeah! Saw them twice

I saw them last November. So glad I was able to do it before covid hit.

RC15O5 The only other band I can compare to Tool’s rhythm section etc is late-70s/early-80s Killing Joke.

J. Robert Hopfer zeppelin was consistent. Maybe not as heavy but always as good

Max Kilcoyne Oh, I completely agree. I wasn’t comparing skill, but styles. KJ has a notorious predilection for tribal-style drumming, driving-yet often oddly liquid-bass lines, and the use of the guitar as a primarily atmospheric instrument, even when played as a rhythm instrument. That was the connexion I was attempting to draw.

This guy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7WdosWQmLHSgmw.html

Angry, long ass scream lol brutal

Eric Loria yesssssssss fr fr fr fr fr fr again and again

How have that not done sober. That's like lesson 1 for new tool fans

Having a Prog tournament without KC is blasphemy, but Fripp won't be having any of that so I don't blame them.

@@irti_pk KC is not metal

The version with Maynard?

@@electricant55 Yeah I know.

@@electricant55 I know it's not metal. They react to other stuff besides metal. And I feel KC is a precursor to prog metal. Im sure the members of tool can tell you their fondness of KC themselves.

Zach Hill?

Mario Duplatier?

Bill Ward?

Gene hoglan!

If you needed a drummer to go on tour today!!! Ask Les Claypool what happened when Tim Alexander had heart surgery.. DC is the greatest drummer walking this planet and can out drum the older badasses. Pretty soon DC will be an old guy and a new badass will come and take his place as the best. But today... DC is top dog

It’d be the most pretentious talk-o-thon known to man outside of politics. I love both but 75% of both artists fan bases are holier than thou because their idols are top of the line lyricists.

Yes, please!

feels like the audio quality is worse since they switched microphones and sometimes forget to get closer to the mic

@ToolGal462 LAY-bee-yuh 😉

@ToolGal462 many people pronounce it "lat-tril-us" or "lateral-us" however I have always pronounced it "lat-er-aah-lis" and to this day I've got no idea which one is the way tool would pronounce it haha

Much of the album plays off Jungian concepts...

@@alysonhogg6543 Danny Carey pronounces it ladder-AL-iss

Jesus Christ Pose. Their heads would explode, like most normies lol. Saw a guy try to rip a jukebox off the wall because of that song.

@@markgraham5971 They already did it and didn't like it. I was thinking maybe Loud Love or something like that since I'm not an edge lord trying to get a rise out of people.

Super unknown is a killer track

@@vaudou_ dude, you just made me wanna listen to some Hexagram 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵

Mailman

like is ever say... tool isnt only music.. tool is a religion...

@@seelenwinter6662 reverend Maynard

The best Tool song.

Jambi!!!!

@@dennistarbox There are 10 songs that are the best Tool song.

Yes!!!

I honetly don't know if them doing a techdeath band is a good idea but it's my favorite genre so I want it to happen.

@@ProgHead89 Thats just about the most accessible tech death track ive heard tho. I'd go with spheres of madness by decapitated as well.

@@Howard_the_Duck True. It's a good test song. If they can't handle that we know they probably won't like more techdeath.

@@Howard_the_Duck In fact that song is barely techdeath really. It's more prog. So I'm not sure that would count.

It's all about the timing he uses with his pronunciation playing off the timing of the bass

David Thorson Eulogy is my second favorite Tool song behind Pushit. It's gonna be difficult for those guys to put out another album that will dethrone Aenima as my favorite record. Lateralus overtook Undertow as #2, but I did not like it at all at first.

Colin, couldn't have said it better! My girlfriend just got me tickets to see them in Kansas City. I hope to hear some new music by then!

chris, I envy you, sounds like ya got a great gf, haha! I have seen them 4x's, but it's been a long time, in fact, it's been since just after Lateralus came out. I live in the Seattle area, so I've seen them at The Gorge, Mercer Arena, The Tacoma Dome and The Paramount Theater. (I've seen APC 2x's, once with the original members(DAMN Paz was/is hot!)) Honestly, I still don't care for 10,000 Days, but it's been a long time since I have it a chance, so perhaps it's time for another go at it, anyway, have fun at the show, and BTW, you've inspired me to look up tour info so I can go, cheers!

Sleeping on Eulogy for sure

David Thorson the whole album whips ass tbh

Shuck Tee Thay!!

Ohm noi shivoi Ohm noi shivoi Ohm noi shivoi 😂😂

I know this is a really late response but wouldn't reading the lyrics further immerse you into the song, not the opposite? I mean, you can still listen to the groove and singing, while mainly focusing on what he's actually saying.

Maybe. The song itself is total shit the first time you hear it though

J Peterson I agree I used to think it was the worst tool song but the more I listened the more I realized it was one of their best

Yeah if you've never done psychedelics. Otherwise its pretty bang on describing a psychadelic journey

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING

Rosetta Stoned is my favorite song of all time, an absolute masterpiece

Charles Lizana I was scanning the comments for this. Bill had a comedy album named "Arizona Bay" RIP Bill Hicks

I'm surprised this many people didn't catch on as literally this entire album is an ode to Bill

Magilla480 could be tomorrow or could be 25 years from now

You'll be waiting a long time.

Hopefully it'll be this year

All the band members have said it'll be out around May or June. Not exactly holding my breath, but I'd call it a good bet to say it'll be this year.

The day that never comes Lmao where my Metallica fans at?

I love tool but nah.. Meshuggah are amazing live

It's saying California (LA specifically) needs to be washed away with an apocalyptic flood and flushed into the ocean. He was also throwing spit at the Hollywood elites and the barbie doll lifestyle that they have influenced on their people.

God Am

Would

We die young

Rain when I die

Hate to Feel

Didnt know that thats hilarious #RIP

He has a comedy album named "Arizona Bay" Bill was one of the greatest.

Dope song! Especially when the pace changes at "Everlasting life for me, in this perfect world..."

@@AdeptSnake But I gotta die first...

Was thinking same. Only two artist I know who can absolutely pull you out of your world, or the world that's been crafted around you, and in a minute your flooded and then swimming in theirs.

Man, I go back and forth between that one and Vicarious. But yeah, amazing lyrics.

That's debatable

Schism too

Not even close (2)

No.

Extremely underappreciated song. From the ball breaking lyrics about their friend to an amazing Melody line. To insane music

Technically amazing but it is mostly technical wank tbh
