8/ Why have you done this

@Lissette Spanner How did it go?

And reaching *The Gaping Lotus Experience* after *Opiate* is what Maynard meant by : _"We may just go where no one's been."_

Underrated Comment!

I'm getting a very hand-drawing-itself-eschery kind of vibe from this comment.

Nothing better than going down the pub, drinking some beers, putting the world to rights, and talking music shit all night!

Sure. You, on the contrary... :P

First round and song selection is on me.

@@JimNewstead yeah, i was going to say lots of beers.

Sounds like presidential material to me

Dan J. Boyd YES! Living vicariously through someone hearing music that you love for the first time is amazing, plus you get to share music you like. Plus you get to hear new music yourself recommended by others

If you understand Tool, the haters really are irrelevant.

I see what you did there with the whole "vicariously watching". You're not to quick for me there, Chief.

And they sound just as amazing and fresh as they did all those years ago.

Came out 18 years ago but close

tool isnt only music... tool is a religion... and religion never gets old...

Shabutie554 it seems to be growing which makes it all a little sweeter. It’s sooo cool to watch someone’s eyes and you can see the “light turn on” to something we have known about all along!

Both Aenima and Lateralus sound like they came out this morning. F'n amazing!!!!!

Yea , what he said!^^^

I agree. I mean first of all it has respected. Second While experiencing a Tool composition There’s so many things in terms of layers and complexity that can get lost. There’s different layers within this song in terms of each band member doing the Fibonacci sequence including Menard in terms of his accents on the beat Ryans music and then they all come together at the end of each section.. The colors black and white most have come to consensus it’s a progression through time starting with an infant you see in black-and-white one of the big themes within the Tool world is the spiral. Anyway it is for you to read into that’s why Maynard writes these great works of art is to challenge the listener.. Always know Menard is challenging you and sometimes even leading you down a rabbit hole.. For example Stinkfist and Pushit. It’s been pretty funny to watch some of the reactions on those two. in the tool community that’s known as spiraling out of control.

I would say patience

Haha

Josh Frie search for HecticReacts, VinAnd Sori. the other ones i forgot...

KingbassK yeah I’ve been following lost in Vegas, hectic and vin and sorri haha they all bring something different to the table

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8mpi8yKu6-7oHU.html this is Dylan Caldwell. he's got some cool tool reactions. Or Fish out of water, you can see him become to love tool.

There's a sense in which trying to imagine what it's like for this person to hear this song for the first time allows you to notice things that you hadn't seen before. I've loved this song for nearly a decade but it feels fresh for some reason.

Gabriel Lucas i think that Tool is an intresting band if you have musical knowledge.. play an instrument. because then you know what is happening. in my opinion, tool is just one big metal jam session. Adam and Justin provide the riffs and Dany arranges the song and Maynard is a dick.

Physionic and he havent even heard 46&2

Check out King KTF...

My favorite song in the library so far.

My favorite Tool song, 46+2

Anyone who first discovers Tool, and who has ANY appreciation for the intricate and amazing nature of Tool and their musical ability in general, soon realizes that once they hear their sound find themselves beyond the “event horizon”......permanently drawn into them without the ability to ever hear music the same again. Once you hear Tool, their sound becomes the benchmark by which ALL other music is measured. It is this way for me, and I find I am consistently disappointed by music by other groups simply because I find myself measuring it against what I consider the apex of sonic perfection, Tool....

@@ilovetacos6092 Seriously...I log into KZfaq while working and all I get are TOOL suggestions from the algorithm. I used to listen to purely classic rock...now it all sounds so simple and sort of empty, if that makes sense. Nothing compares to Maynard's vocals, Danny's fills, and the magic that Justin and Adam create.

@@ilovetacos6092 Great comment, I fell the same way...

It's deeper than just syllables. Its incredible and hurts my head to explain.

kylestyyle987 you’re correct! Not many people can pick that stuff apart. I’m gonna venture you’re a percussionist too?

kylestyyle987 I've always wondered what the hell he is doing with the hihat there. It makes sense when I count it out now. Thanks

Truth Seeker I'm actually primarily a trumpet player, but I'm also a big theory nerd so I get a kick out of things bizarre time signatures and polyrhythms.

im a drummer but im no theory expert but drums are 5/16, bass is 6/8, and the guitar is like swung quarters? always been one of my favorite pieces of music since driving around smoking weed on release day of this album having my entire soul changed

Aha! I was right!

Citizen Kreg which member’s wife?

So they brought an ultrasound machine into the studio?

RC Rampulla maybe they went to the hospital 😂

Check out Dean Wolfe's channel- he's reacted to every Tool song there is (aside from Opiate). Start with his first react to Lateralus. It brought him to tears, and he's been a Tool fan ever since.

Exactly! Cheers!

Preach!!!!!!!

Chris Hansen amazing Song indeed. While I was in Afghanistan my wife gave birth, I was listening to Right In Two when my boss ran in and told me to call my wife as she gave birth. 9 years later every time I hear that song it takes me back to an extremely happy time in life.

Yup. Poppy they say, cheesy sometimes. But it has one of the best riffs of all time and it's played only two times and then it's deconstructed and put together less beautiful but more intense and rips your melodic heart right in two.

knightkrawler - I don’t mean to offend, but how is that song “poppy” or “cheesy” at all? I’ve never heard that, ever.

@@scottjackson3347 ...among other Tool songs, I mean. I've heard that.

I do love that song so much I can never find anything that can get tool up loud enough and I have about 3000 watts all together in my single cab truck

kuguar13 I feel the same way! It’s inspiring that a band that hasn’t released an album in 12 years and only have 5 albums total in 28 years can be gathering new fans in 2018.

I discovered tool in 2019

TOOL put me back on metal after a 3year hiatus, thanks to a great friend who introduced me to them

They got me in 2019

I feel blessed to have found them at 18 with Undertow and continued on a 20+ year journey as I’ve grown older. I appreciate their growth.

Thanks so much. I do it for the love of the music rather than being best, but by not being sensationalist about the reactions, perhaps it’s the authenticity of my vids that’s catching people’s eye! Just being me and listening to music 🤪😃👍🏼

@@JimNewstead hopefully we can get some new music soon from them for you to react to. You should do one for Adam Jones The Witness.

Me too.

Hmmmm, I know of Alice In Chains, but am ashamed to say I don't think I could name you a song that they're ever written. My bad!

Tool2142 what a fucking gay description

thats not very Jesus like

Fuck you Jesus

I'm dying here

For some reason I feel like Wings should be saved for after hearing most of AEnima, Lateralus, and 10,000 Days. I think a lot of people do these songs too early and can miss some of the story behind the lyrics and emotion in his voice. But just throwing out some thoughts I had about it after watching Hectic and Vin and Sori reactions. But great suggestion no matter when he does it. You can't really go wrong with Wings v:)

Well, about the pitch shifting bass part in my previous comment, he uses a pitch shifter live, but maybe he used a fretless bass for that part.

I could listen to this all day, everyday. Its FUCKING BRILLIANT.

Good analogy!

I second this one Jim. It's so different but somehow still so Tool's style if that makes any sense lol. Also just one a week would be great :)

Haha! You're very welcome here, my friend!

Daniel M I wish I can get into a time machine to hear their songs for the first time again.

Wow that's damn near 10,000 days haha

Omax Pi yessssss

Lucas Pegoretto yes...wings of Marie is cool...but i definitly dont reccomend for a new tool listener. Can easily turn them off with the pacing of the song. Kinda eerks me when i see that request for new listeners.

Fckgogle Pluss agreed. That and Rosetta Stoned(which he already did and didn't seem to like it much). He needs some basics. Stinkfist, parabola, the patient, sober, opiate, pushit, H.

On the other hand... I have TONS of good KZfaq content to watch! So WIN for me! :)

And MAN I LOVE how you disassemble these songs! :)

ITS FUCKING AMAZING
