Us OG TOOL fans watch reactions to see people feel the way we did when we first experienced each song! And you made it worth the watch thank you!!!!

Mate,this might be cliche but listening to songs like this isn't just listening to music,it's experiencing art in this form at the absolute highest of levels.

60 years old and listening to tool since 92. There is no equal. They are simply wizards of Sonic and lyrical magic.

My man said “seems to be a simple 4/4 time signature so we don’t need to worry about that” and I laughed out loud 😂

The chorus is: 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 and repeat. 987 is an integer in the sequence. During the bridge, the guitar and bass are playing 6/8 and the drums are playing 5/8 so they sync every 30 beats. 👍🏽🔥🤘🏽🌀🌀 Yes, along with Progressive Rock I like to classify them as, Tribal Metal. Trust me, we KNOW that you'll feel every emotion with TOOL. NEVER apologize for that!!! Yup, as many have and will say, one doesn't listen to TOOL, they experience it.

This guy gets it.

Bro.. that’s the best reaction to Lateralus ever. Don’t apologize, I cry all time listening to Tool🥹. You made my day, even my week. I strongly advise to react next to Parabol/Parabola both songs together … and don’t stop between them 🤘🏽

There is no other band like this. These 4 dudes are the truth. I’m 44 years old and I became obsessed with these guys when I was 17. They just keep peeling back the layers and continue to put their creativity and originality in the forefront. You’re still just getting started. Keep going. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Happy trails ✌️

The best band of my lifetime, I discovered Tool back in '93 watching "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV. 4 masters of their crafts. No band compares in my humble opinion..

That's what we like to call a "Tool-gasm". When it's so damn good that it makes you feel like crying and you have goosebumps and you feel yourself moving uncontrollably... not sure how they managed to channel something so otherworldly and psychedelic through their instrumentation but it makes one really appreciate being alive to experience it. Much love sir, keep going down the Tool rabbit hole!

Another TOOL fan is born. Welcome, the journey is DEEP! You should checkout AENIMA next. The lyrics are very telling of the world we live in.

This is my favorite TOOL song. I love seeing people react to this song for the first time, keep going!

Now you need to check out the song Descending , that song will drop you off in another dimension

Literally Tool is musical DMT!!! They will take you through all emotions in one song, take you out of your body if you just let them do it

so glad you enjoyed this one, we love watching these tools reaction videos because it brings us back to when we first heard these songs!

Danny Carey is a sorcerer and the way those fellas work together is nothing but magic. Love your reaction! It's definitely one of my favorite TOOL songs and I've probably heard this album the most. Bad traffic aside, I could listen to the whole album on my commute to my symphony rehearsals back in the early '00s.

The "bubbly bass sound" reference in the intro is the sound of the heart pumping blood (life). Your reactions are awesome, brother! Getting excited about discovering something new is a joy to watch happen and what music is all about IMO.

lmao hell yeah dude!!! that was fucking great! I remember the first time I heard this song I had to just drop everything and walk out of my house, breathe the air and look at the sky.

If this masterpiece doesn't take you somewhere, (it takes me out into the universe), you where not listening to it.

Tool Army Unite! I first found Tool (1st song was Sober music video on tv) at 13-14yrs old in 1993. I was hooked! I’m 43 now & they are my favourite band still to this day. I’m loving your reaction to this! You don’t listen to Tool you experience them. You get it my friend! I’ll be here for more Tool reactions. Subbed! Spiral out…keep going 🌀

The song is built with the fibonacci sequence, the time signature differences when written out in sequence is itself one of the numbers in the sequence, brilliant

The power of T👁️O👁️O👁️L👁️'s music is very much intoxicating, like a drug, but for your brain instead of your vein... 🤩🤘 Great reaction my friend, just keep the T👁️👁️L coming... 😁👍✌️

TOOL is the most amazing band ever! I can listen over and over again as TOOL takes you on a journey, the music and lyrics are so unique, over 30 years and they just get more amazing!!!

I love watching young people discover Tool & “get it”…..it really does warm my heart….I’m 52 & Gen X to the bone & to all my peers “all hope is not lost on the young folks if they’re digging Tool” 🖤🤤

The Fibonacci sequence is written into the syllables/phonics of the lyrics, Maynard is a genius with his lyrics, double entendre, delivery, range/control, it's simply beautiful... The mixing & EQ is mesmerising.... The effects of the bass & guitar, & how the intertwine & play lead roles is so well constructed, everything is considered.... The polyrythms & complexity of the drums is face melting. All wrapped in a journey of mind boggling time sequences & intense emotion makes TOOL the benchmark of modern prog/metal. U don't dance to it, u spiral to it. So glad u discovered & value these guys, they r something special. An experience, not mere entertainment. U hit the nail on the head, it's a sonic trip. I gotta say too, this band Live is next level. It's like nothing u will ever experience musically. For a similar vibe & ride, u gotta check out an Australian band called Karnivool. They r cut from the same cloth. Very moving, & next level musicality. Check them out, u will not regret it.

This is how Tool hits us all, love to see a pure reaction. Looking forward to more

you're on the level bro. Tool is a transcendence.

god bless you man great reaction

LETS GOOOO!!! awesome choices for your first few listens, it seems you really enjoy their music. love the reactions, especially love tool reactions

I still get chills after 30 years & u will too every time u listen to their songs.

Once you've drunken the TOOLaid there's no coming back. You are one of us now. This is my favorite song and my favorite reaction to it I've ever seen. Love it. Spiral out !

Best reaction I’ve watched in a long time

You get it! You'll love Third eye and Invincible

That may just be the best reaction to this song I've ever seen, and my dear, I've seen at least 100 over the last few years. You go, man! Looking forward to more, new subscriber from Seattle here ❤

🤣 oh man you are entertaining i love that you get it love watchin' you jam out to TOOL i feel like a proud TOOL mama keep spiraling 🔥🌀🔧💗👏👏

Awesome reaction!!! i personally think this is the greatest rock song of all time !!! mi glad you enjoyed this one !!!!

I’ve been been a TOOL fanatic since ‘94ish. I normally don’t spend a lot of time on the interwebs because I think it’s generally a waste of time, but in the last few days I’ve discovered these ‘Tool reaction’ vids, and I hate to admit it, but I’ve wasted the last 3 days of my life watching people react to Tool, and I must say, this is the best reaction I’ve seen. After listening to this song for the past 25+ years, I still get chills, so to watch you experience TOOL/Lateralus like that really brings a smile to my face. They are the pinnacle of musical creation, and it’s really cool to see all these people, especially you, feel it like I’ve been feeling them for 30 years. Awesome vid. Awesome reaction. Spiral out brother, and welcome to the TOOL army.

Best reaction to tool EVER!!!!!!

Witnessing you experience this band is just as inspiring as the music. It fills me with joy to see someone recognize this for what it is. Beauty, tension, design, execution. There are 5 full length albums that Tool has released...you need to listen to them all, unpack them, unravel them, experience them. They were made for people like you. I love to see it. p.s. It isn't just the drummer utilizing the Fibonacci Sequence on this song. Bass, guitar, drums, they all are using it. Even the singer is...count the syllables to the words. Prepare to have your mind blown...Again.

Bro I'm just sitting on my couch and your energy set off a cyclone in side me 😊😊, I don't think I've seen any one max out as much as you just did, that was awesome! Looking forward to more! I'm sure the tribe will guide you where to go next... they call themselves an army, but I prefer the term Tribe 😊. Army's tear us apart, tribes hold us together. Peace

If you reacted like this to Lateralus, you gotta listen to The Grudge, I think it has even more of a tribal feel. Its an _insane_ song for both Vocals and Drumming. Great reaction.

I try to be the most calm and controlled as I can be. I listen, and close my eyes, practically meditate. Your reaction to this song - this is exactly how my soul feels and reacts, no matter how calm I appear. I can’t call this “Tool”, it is a spiritual journey - every time - every song - since 1993 when I purchased Undertow (their first LP).

It's almost 3am, I'm on KZfaq watching people's lives get changed by Tool's music the way mine was. Welcome to the journey brother, there's plenty more to enjoy. I love how you loved this. Check out Puscifer and A Perfect Circle as well, they all come together and say Something profound

Your moment of breathing and collection at the end is exactly how I felt (and still do) when I first heard it. Tool is such a journey, and I am so fortunate to have seen them just a couple weeks ago. I love watching a new Tool fan being born. Welcome to the Army!

... i love it. Enjoy Brother! Peace, S.-)

Your love for them makes my love for them all that much more profound. Thank you for this, brother. I feel like I could hug you.

Welcome the the spiral friend! I’m here for every minute of this! Been a fan since 93’ and I live watching folks discover what TOOL can make people feel 🤘🏼🌀

Dude, Dude! I've been Tool Army from the beginning. Early '90's. This song since 2001. Still was emotional alongside you. Like still my 1st time. So, welcome along with the ride. Journey will take in it's own direction. Your own. As you become familiar with all the discography enjoy your Life you've found. Also 9,8,7 is time signature on the main riff. Enjoy

Fellas, I think he spiralled out!

This and a few other songs by Tool make my soul weep. I saw your title to this and immediately subscribed. You get it. Absolutely. Yes.

We love to see people discover Tool…as a drummer with roots in world percussion, polyrhythmic structure is the language of my soul…absolutely it is similar to west african root polyrhythms….this song still makes me cry…I loved your reaction…you get it 😁

There are many good reaction vids out there. In fact, there are almost no bad ones. This is the BEST reaction vid to this song. Subscribed, sir.

Another exciting reaction, I got emotional with you. I think that you should do The Grudge or Invincible next because of the way you are getting into the spiritual vibe and your love for the drums.

Just this morning, driving down the highway, after my pedicure😁, I hit play on the CD player and this song came on. 30 seconds later I yelled "You guys need to stop this!!" I turned it up, really loud!!!

This my first time watching your channel. I just want to give you a big hug! Possibly my favorite song ever!

One of many Tool tracks that are not only spiritual & emotional, but you walk away saying “I think that song was the greatest song ever written / played” Again, one of many 🤘🏻🌀

If you're looking for another TOOL spiritual experience then I suggest listening to Disposition, Reflection, and Triad! They're supposed to be played back to back, with NO stop. You'll thank me later.

Appreciated your reaction. Some people listen to it, and some people hear it. A complex cosmic composition of a progressively limitless spiritual journey. 👍

WOW! LOVED YR REACTION! Bcuz it was REAL!!!! WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!! I watched u 2 times already n im listening to u right now! LOVE how excited u got several times n u TRIED to calm yrself! Hilarious. Gonna watch again. lol. This music RESONATES w/u and US> U have a higher vibration then most. Listening to TOOL IS ELEVATING!!

this is my fav breaction to this yet. youre the first person ive seen react the same way i feel twhen i listen to them. i call it being in church when i hear them. i have never felt god till i did dmt, and got into tool. im seeing them for the first time in 9 days and I CANT WAIT! keep enjoying friend

When four musicians come together to create an interdimensional musical being, they call themselves Tool.

My man feels these drums like no other. YASSS

Great reaction music it the TOOL that will bring us together.

The part at 12:00 in your video is a great example of a polyrhythm. I notice that you have a hard time moving to it in this spot because your ear is switching between listening to the guitar and drums. They are playing in different time signatures and only come together every few bars. organized disorder...

Your appreciation for everything in this was exactly that, everything! I love that, you're a real one!

back for the Tool. great energy man. keep going...Ohio, USA

Absolutely love Tool. You're right about the tribal rhythms. You should check out Gojira - Amazonia. Super tribal and those guys are technicians much like Tool.

A true epiiphany. Thank you for your reaction. Blessings. 🙏

New subscriber. Tool go DEEP!

Such a great reaction man, keep going! You definitely get it my friend

That’s section has brought tears a few times.

This song changed my whole life.

Love the reaction! It’s amazing that sounds can move people so deeply. You get it. Keep going.

Wow, I enjoyed your expressive reaction! Well done! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now THAT is a proper reaction to tool

Welcome to the journey that will be one you will never forget for the rest of your days & nights. 🔥😎🔥

Welcome to the Tool army! Spiral out, keep going...

More TOoL please 😂🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

You are gonna have a heart attack when you hear Right in two from them. Awesome drums. Awesome lyrics, bass, guitar, and incredible build up.

Truly, a masterpiece!

Welcome... welcome... welcome.... to the Tool Army my brother...!!! YES!!!!!

"Its really difficult to add in my head"

great energy great reaction tool is an experience

Loving your Tool reactions mate, keep them coming.

Great reaction vid 🔥🔥 Spiral out 🌀🌀🌀👁🤘🏼

Spiral out, brother. Keep going. Youre on the path for sure. This was a spectacular reaction. Subbed🤙

boys we got em! got a new fan on our hands

What a reaction. Congrats from Tool vampire.

Epic reaction!!!

your reaction to this song is also goated

Welcome to the Tool Army!!!

Spiral out, keep going! Check out the Parabol/Parabola double-feature, also on the Lateralus album. If you like this spiritual side of Tool, check out "Grand Canyon" by Puscifer (same vocalist). For that one, I really suggest watching the official video. Normally I don't like videos with a first listen, but Grand Canyon is an exception, it really opens up the song meaning. 🪐

Best reaction I've ever seen for TOOL 😂 Yes, this shit sends you into altered states lmao

Lyrically and musically speaking, I think Reflection will be right up your alley. Best heard in sequence with "Disposition" and "Triad", also called the Holy Trinity. Thank me later ;)

I would love to go to a Tool concert with you! You bring such a good vibe and you get it! Ride the spiral to the end, may just go where no one's been Welcome to the Tool Army 🌀

Enjoyed your reaction and great taste in recognizing incredible music..sub my friend!

So many layers to this song and album

always nice to live that first moment again, Vicariously through these videos (pun absolutely intended). but i can't help but smirk a bit at the consistent mind blow they get from actually listening to true music, true art.

Welcome to the army! Spiral out! Give Ticks and Leeches a gander🎉

I interpret their band name "TOOL" as a symbolic representation of the four members and the shared purpose they have. A tool is a form that expresses a purpose that is necessarily related to the human experience and it's mysterious expression. I believe they use the "band" to express a very human experience that they are inviting us to participate in. Generally, a tool is named for it's purpose. This band is called "TOOL". Imagine the revelation of the first human that created something which married the inner experience with the outer expression of purpose. Imagine, this first human turning to it's friends and grunting "tool". Language, form, meaning represented as a word and sound, and shape, and purpose. Showing all of that by simply demonstrating. it also make for hilarious dick jokes, because fun is serious business. TOOL is a tool used by tools to show tools that they are Tools. The band is a form and expression, with purpose, of a collection of forms and expressions, with purposes, that are using collections of forms and expressions, that were created with specific purposes, to express the collective participation of multitudes of forms and expressions with their purposes. It's beautiful.
