You always say "if you're still here". Believe me dude... We are.

You want to hear him hold a note? The Grudge!!!

Howzit gang! 🤙 I have gotten some comments that I listened to the track BEFORE I recorded it because they see the red bar complete on the YT video play-back but no, I didn't. I was told that if I scroll fwd to the end of a first play it would pre-play any advertising then restart and I would get a clean play. That's what I did 🤙

He said "Third Eye" Anyone..... Anyone

Ha, a technical person who makes sense. Refreshing.

Honestly man you’ve become my favorite reactor because you really know what you’re talking about.

Who else watches every Tool reaction on KZfaq (except the obvious shit ones, no offense lol)? I'm loving this guy! Definitely subscribed and gonna keep watching.

Bass: "How funky do you want it?" Me: "Yes."

You referenced the third eye. Tool has a song called "Third Eye." Older Tool song. Will blow your mind :)

This is the nicest comment section in youtube history, just shows what being real, knowledgeable and passionate gets you lol keep up the fantastic work and check out coheed and cambria if you get chance

Maynard is so good with vocals that when I heard Schism and then listened to The Pot I thought they changed vocalists

“Oh I thought that was the ending.” That’s Tool for you!

"Invincible" by Tool is a very interesting song for de composing ;)

I honestly want to hear what he thinks about Right in Two

Best bass sound I have ever heard on any record.

Maynard confirmed that he doesnt stand in the back because of some anxiety or fear, he actually stands there because it works better with the drums.

Sorry for the triple up comments but: stop saying sorry when you stop! That’s why we are here man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻spiral out 🌀

I don't know how much of comments you read but i wanna write this anyway. THANK YOU for doing these reactions. I am a senior engineering student overwhelmed by everything during this pandemic and these reactions geniunely helping me to keep my mental health. Generation gap and everything goes away when you find a connection like this. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR for everything you have done for someone 10000 km's away from you without even knowing.

I love watching people who know music discover tool; invariably they all realize how special the band is. lb 4 lb it just doesn’t get any better than them

40 plus year rock drummer here and i have to say i just love Tool, such a unique style and sound and these guys take it to a A Whole Nother Level ! Welcome to the world of Tool , Great reaction and best of luck man .

There's something so satisfying, watching someone else love and "get" what you get and feel listening to TOOL. Most people look at you like you've grown another head when you try and introduce them to this music.

Maynard's voice is really clear and nice on this track. It makes me so sad that he's dealing with the after effects of covid-19 & that it might be detrimental for the rest of his life. It's just sad, glad he didn't die but for a guy who relies on his lungs and vocals it's just really sad.

Your enthusiasm is infectious and your composing knowledge is appreciated. KZfaq needs more reactors like you, who actually react and not just yap away

Just wait until you hear THE GRUDGE, NO QUARTER and TICKS AND LEECHES, trust me, you’ll know what we all mean when you hear Maynard screaming...🤟🏻

I love listening to professionals talk about their craft and dissecting great works. As a professional artist, I feel a kinship with it even though it's a different discipline. Great reactions.

I think you're gonna absolutely love The Grudge.

Tatiana from Jinjer also writes her lyrics for their songs after the guys have put the music together.

Don't you just love it when they start counting?!😊

Enjoy the break, we'll be here waiting.

Maynard’s voice is way underrated.....

The first Tool song i ever heard,my son said hey mom put these headphones on and listen to this.❤

Great channel man. Im so glad It got recommended.

Maynard did not want his performance on stage to distract from the music/the band. He performs from the back of the stage, backlit...no spot lights on him.

Killer reaction to a killer track, love it. You are fast becoming one of my favorite reactors. I've been into this genre for about 2 years, I got into it watching reactors who are into hip hop/rap listening to metal/rock for the first time in any meaningful manner. Which makes it interesting for obvious reasons. Along that journey the vocal coach reactors started popping up, the enjoyment from them (I'm not factoring in anyone's personality, just what they bring to the table otherwise if that makes sense) is of course they dissect the tracks on a more technical level with a focus on the singing. Then we start seeing the reactions from the composers, the engineers, etc. The really technical group, but there are a lot less of you. The fans aren't kidding when they drone on about how freakishly technical, creative and cerebral Tool is, so when I see you picking up on all the meter changes, overlapping time signatures, the poly-rhythms, their use of the Fibonacci Sequence as a way to count syllables in the singing, and all the other crazy shit this band messes with I get almost giddy, lol. I'm not a musician or engineer or anything, just a music fan who's been into this band from their beginnings (my fav band btw) and has just learned about this stuff along the way. It's so nice to see these things we as fans talk about, realized by an expert and professional in the biz who isn't familiar with the band (yet) whom explains it all to use plebs so we can REALLY start to understand this stuff as a lil more than laymen. Anyways I'm stoned as fuck and eating mozzarella sticks and rootbeer while I watch this and type out my reaction to your reaction and I'm rambling, lol. I hope you stick with this because yer good at it, your content and personality are damn enjoyable my friend. Signed - Some Asshole townie from Boston :D

Maynard's vocal is a next level mix of alternative shoegaze innocence at times with militant metal man and also, especially in this song, a kind of hard rock R&B soulfulness of notes in his lines. As he's singing on the outro, he's doing similar stuff Hank Williams did to bend his lines in kind of Bluesy ways. The guy also arranges and writes all his vocal lines against the other guys' music! Maynard is a highly talented, very intellectual musician as are all the Tool members.

This guys is awesome keep the reactions going!

The Pot covered by Brass Against is a cool take on this song with a brass horn section. The video is here on youtube if you're interested.

SO HYPED TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS CLASSIC TRACK

U r the man Geebz! Love your stuff bro!

Maynard's voice is definitely an instrument. The band is absolutely incredible. The lyrics are as valid as they have ever been. Thanks for reacting!!

I have been listening to TOOL for over 20 years now.. I still have no idea what you are talking about. Love it!

Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿smoke a phat joint and put on this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

looking forward for more man! keep it up!

Loving your reviews man!! It’s so good to fell the music going through your body and making you sense good and bad things! It shows in your face!!

Becoming a huge fan of this channel you got a great personality and good in depth conversations on these songs the bass line by Justin Chancellor gives me chills everytime

Really appreciate your comments on how those brief moments of 4/4 help cleanse the sonic palette as you put it. After listening to Tool for so long, I've recognized when those moments occur instinctually, but never really understood technically the why. Regarding Maynard position during a live show, there's a bunch of rumors that go around that its some kind of performance anxiety or discomfort being up front, but that's really not the case. In the earlier days of Tool, MJK was upfront most of the time (think on that Sober video you watched) but as the band really matured into Aenima and Lateralus, he decided to refocus the audiences attention more towards the band as a whole since they are as key to their sound and success as he is. He's talked about how he deeply respects each member and their sonic contribution and enjoys watching THEM play live. When you come back from hiatus, two recommendations. If you want to go the third eye route (literally), and go really deep into the Tool ocean, there is a track by the same name on the Aenima album which is unlike anything you've heard. Or elsewhere in the depths of their catalogue and given other videos on your channel prior to these reaction videos, I think you'd especially appreciate the three tracks together of Disposition-Reflection-Triad, musically, lyrically, spiritually, and technically.

Always doing amazing reviews.!! Hands down.!!!!!!

Great song! Great review! Keep it up man!!

How ironic.. my guy just dropped off an oz of Platinum OG, and now i get to sit back and enjoy a smoke and a reaction video.

Wait til you hear the scream on The Grudge 😂🥳🥳

your takes on these are fascinating. i'd love to hear more detail

You are awesome! Please continue to do what you do. I look forward to more video reactions!

Took a break from studying and played this video. Was just what I needed. You're the man Geebz!

Dude! Please do “Descending” by TOOL!!!

I am absolutely lovin this intro to the video man

I absolutely love The Pot. It is for sure my favorite Tool song. But I have to say, that part at around 12:27 is just mind blowing. As you said, I feel like this is a reintroduction to the main riff of the song which, although sounds rhythmically very interesting, is a pretty straight forward 4/4. BUT Danny just decides to mess with our brains and while the whole band is nailing the pocket of this huge groove, his feet are playing a 5/8 figure in the bass drum, which transforms this rhythm in something so much more layered and complex. It is pretty amazing.

Another awesome breakdown. Can't wait for you to hear Vicarious.

I found myself having a slight laugh every time you stopped the song. Not laughing at you, laughing with your need to stop, understand, describe, and enjoy. This is so good. Thanks, and keep it up. We love it.

You are one of my favorite reactors of all time!!

Always smooth transitions! God bless Tool. God bless America! ! !

Mr Geebz. Tool will always be the most important reviews you do. It will garner the most attention due to fandom. Appreciate the review

Bottom is an underrated Tool track and should get some recognition, I’d love if you could react to it. A bit of an older one, but so great. It has Henry Rollins have a part on it, I also made a cover of it for anyone willing to check it out. But I love seeing new Tool fans going on a very familiar journey through the music, keep it up I really love seeing it 👍

GeebZ, you bring a smile to my face 👌

Love your reactions and insights.

46 & 2 is a great place to go next

“...that Third Eye...”. Ha! Another great reaction.

Enjoyed another reaction! Thank you very much Geebz!

Best reactions on youtube. A mix between him always appreciates the band's awesomeness and the fact that he knows what he´s talking about makes it awesome!

Dude I LOVE these reactions. I feel like you're helping me appreciate music i've listened to many times in a new way.

You’re the best damn reactor on KZfaq. Keep it up 🤘 Also have to add your bit of “cleansing the pallet” puts into words one of the things that I absolutely love about tool. I never knew how to describe it but you summed it up perfectly

You're awesome, love your videos for so many reasons, im not going to list them, but keep on doing this stuff, i love hearing intelligent opinions on some of my favorite music that seems unappreciated, and reaction vids are even better

Your comments and insight into one of my favourite bands are incredible. Thank you. You've gained a new subscriber.

Loving your reactions. I've watched a ton of others and yours are amongst the best, with your expertise in music. Thank You

Awesome content! Not going to lie what drew me to your content was the Tool reactions but foremost for bringing new stuff to my ears as well and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work. Big fan here.

Brilliant review. Well done sir!

I just recently found you. You now have one additional subscriber. I really enjoyed your professional breakdown of these incredible musical artists! Keep up the good work brother!

Rossetta Stoned would be a good one to hear too off of the same album. On a different note, Devin Townsend would be a good one to explore, complex sounds, you might like it, check out Kingdom on EMGTV as a start. Good show.

Basically, TOOL was formed when Les Claypool used his bass to summon the ghost of Leonardo DaVinci and all of his demons, trapping them inside a huge amplifier

I love music its my life and this band and theses videos are awesome the way u break it down

You are the reason I'm listening to Tool today, thank you so much!

"an emotional appreciation" - that's an excellent phrase! well done, another excellent video!

I look forward to every pause in your videos to hear what you interpret and feel and digest from the sections in their music. Really enjoying your assessments and looking forward to more for sure! Can't wait to hear your view on the "sonic palette cleansing" in Invincible or overall review of 7empest! Thanks for the content!

was just expecting a basic reaction but i was pleasantly surprised to say the least, super cool getting all that insight from you! subbed!

Love your tool reactions, not many have such full and competent commentation

In the top 5 of my fave Tool songs.

i definitely appreciate your understanding of music here. you react on a higher plane than the average ear

Subscribed.... you know your stuff, and I love seeing you FEEL the music. Your body reacts perfectly to what you are listening.

Love your channel man. Watching your Tool reactions are awesome. If I was to recommend another tool song I’d recommend Jambi. Keep it up man these videos are fantastic!

The Pot was sung on the Voice a couple of years ago.

Your reactions to Tool have started to open my ears to the nuances in their songs. I've actually noticed more from Tool, musically, than I ever have in all the years I've listened to them. It's definitely great to see the reactions from the people who notice, then relay the technical aspects to the viewer/listener.

8:12 Everything is so truuue on the internet ! Loved this bit. Love the videos, thanks for delivering solid content back to back. Your videos make me listen to music on different angles.

Your great to watch. As a musician I hear music in so many layers and details. You as a composer feel and hear everything! Its a magical feeling isn't it?

Another really enjoyable reaction. I'm learning a lot from you. As a 50 year old listener of rock, hard rock and metal for most of my life to finally have a professional willing to take his time to dissect what I've been listening to and explain it, even in basic terms is a real treat for me. Ty

12:26 priceless.

Really happy I discovered you. You feel like a friend! 🤗

One of my favourite Tool songs. Amazing groove by Justin and Danny. And the heavy parts just crush.🤘

Great review man. This is the song I've used to introduce people to Tool since 10000 Days. They are always floored by it. Still gives me goosebumps.

Love your reactions . I heard him in an interview say hear the band better beside Danny instead in front of the drums

The healthiest, most fun series of KZfaq videos I’ve seen in a very long time. So cool. Please keep being you and don’t change what you’re doing in any way.

Wonderful reaction videos. Nice to hear someone who actually know music
