I was an instant fan after hearing Tool for the first time. They incorporate so many unique sounds and styles into every song, and this one is no exception. Today I'm listening to "The Grudge" for the first time.

@TheVocalyst A Perfect Circle (APC) is a great choice for this channel because you can compare vocal qualities across different bands. APC is still rock, but is more 'traditional' than TOOL's experiemental/progressive musicianship/song length. APC hits that feel much different than TOOL include So Long, And Thanks For All the Fish, 3 Libras, and TalkTalk. Other hit APC songs that are closer to a TOOL vibe include Judith, The Outsider, and Weak And Powerless. All are fun jams. His lyrics tend to be more overt and direct in APC, so his (confrontational) views on religion are very present in songs like TalkTalk and Judith.

The reason why Maynard's voice melody and lyrics sound so perfectly ensconced within TOOL's music, is because Maynard writes his parts specifically off of his personal impressions of the finished composition. This and his lower volume level makes him another instrument in the band, instead of being just a lead singer who noticeably sits on top of the music. Maynard doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself; he knows that he is just one member of this four piece band and has profound respect for what his bandmates are capable of. I think also, because Maynard writes this way, it alows for his true emotions to come through in his voice.

Each of the musicians believes so strongly in the project, as well. They never intended for it to be a commercially successful venture, it was just something they all loved doing. Danny Carey was just interviewed by Rick Beato about a month ago and he talks about the beginning of Tool and how he committed to the band because he loved what they were creating. I think at the time he was playing with Jeff Buckley and doing gigs for Carole King. Amazing, amazing drummer.

@PhantomLlMB Ай бұрын

This song is extremely spiritual. It stresses how a grudge will cycle back through your life and present differently until you let it go. Sometimes people don't and wonder why negative energy revolves through their life, like a bad cycle. It drags you down, or it will lift you up if you just let it go.

A river always makes sense in where it goes. Because it's nature that guides its course. You're a natural. Everything you say comes straight from the heart and as such, there's an inability there to become offensive, or for us to take offense for whatever you say. I love listening to you, because there's always a reason and a rhyme.

I couldn’t emphasize the distinct energies of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer in a manner to their enchanting expression and experience. The former tapping into Maynard's feminine side, awakening a vast array of emotions, while the latter represents his creative and adventurous subconscious, unlocking an entirely new realm of energies that stimulate the mind. The synchronization of these musical elements is a journey into a vortex of self-awareness and a reality beyond conventional experiences.

I have my own fond memories of that album. My friend had just gotten his first car, and gas was relatively cheap back then, so when the rare summer rains would come, we would just drive on the back roads of the towns we lived in listening to Lateralus (yes, for 1h+ at a time). Listening to Lateralus during a thunderstorm smelling that fresh air from the rain is a memory I think I'll have until my deathbed. So yeah, I think she'll have a strong reaction to hearing The Patient when she gets to it, but that's to be expected for the whole album. I was fortunate enough to see Tool twice during the Lateralus touring days, so I think the only "real" song I haven't heard live is Ticks and Leeches. They even played Triad live with Meshuggah! I admit The Grudge was a surprise reaction video I wasn't expecting yet, but I was very happy with it since it's the song of the night during their recent tours. Realistically, I think any further reactions from her on this album would be Schism Parabol/Parabola Lateralus (best song) And then maybe The Patient

That almost orgasmic "oh" when she hears him start "clutch it like a cornerstone" that's me. That's why I adore anything MJK does 💞✨ There's a moment that the a song Lateralus gives me like that very strongly. Would love to see her react to it 👌

As an colossal TOOL fan… I must say I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. You devoted the necessary time and analytical resources to delve properly in the song. It’s a masterpiece. It’s beautiful to see someone who understands music appreciate this tier of sonic expression. Your breakdown and articulation was wonderful to listen to. Thank you, great video 👏.

the main time signature for this song is 5/8. After years of listening to Tool, counting it out becomes second nature. A language forms, and soon you are cured of your addiction to listen to music 24/7 - silence becomes GOLD again. It's highly recommended.

Two of my favourite Tool songs are “Lateralus”, and “Right in Two”. Of course, everyone has their particular favorites, but Tool has such an eclectic catalogue that you could pretty much blindly pick any song and be happily surprised. Looking forward to more reactions.

Tool is one of my favorite bands. The band takes me places where I have never been before. You can not dance to this band due to their ever changing time signatures. I just sway and listen. Jim Carey is the best drummer alive. I went to one live concert, and they were just hypnotic and mystifying. Thanks for your comments. There is no way I can describe a Tool song.

June 2001, I walk into a FYE music store before my shift at The Cheesecake Factory and they had like 20 or so albums up on the wall with headphones to listen to them before you buy. I see the new Tool album and think the cover art is bizarre yet cool. I toss on the headphones and listen to The Grudge as the album opener. I proceeded to stand there and listen to this whole song thinking it was the best fucking thing I ever heard. Their preceding Aenima album is great but this was just a whole different level of a different kind of awesomeness. I listened to the song 3 times since I couldn’t pause or rewind. I walked in late to my shift because of this song! After I made enough money in tips, I ran over to the store to buy it so it couldn’t sell out. I couldn’t stop listening to it over and over. One of the best songs ever in my humble opinion and I love watching others react to it imagining myself the first time I heard it in that FYE store in 2001. Great reaction!
