As a TOOL fan for roughly 20 years, I'm going to be honest for a second. It almost brings me to tears of joy, seeing someone hear TOOL for the first time and honestly enjoying the full experience. And understanding it better than most people do. I can tell that everything you are saying and feeling is a completely honest reaction. I'm envious of you being able to experience this for the first time. It's such a great journey that you are on.

"Tool Army" is the name, "Spiraling Out" is the game, haha. "Repugnant is a creature who would squander his ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here." That line shattered a previous version of myself.

"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here." So deep and thought provoking.

"Tool fans" are collectively referred to as the "Tool Army."

“Invincible”=swan song

“Philosophy meets music” Hey that was my comment lol, thanks brother!! TOOL ARMY 🔥👽👽👽👽🔥

We are the Tool army, Spiral Out.

We are the Tool Army, and your reactions give us so much joy.

It's always fun to read the comments on Tool reaction songs as someone who only heard of tool in 2019 when I was 20. I have been a total tool-head since then and I've listen to all their stuff over and over and over for these past 2 years, so it's fun to see so many people saying they have been fans of Tool before I was even born.

Only tool can deliver such a beautiful intro that's also easy to listen to, in freaking 11/4!!!! What XD

This is one of their best, most underrated songs. I'm pumped for you getting to discover all these for the first time.

Daaaang. My man is on the Tool reactions like crazy!

Disposition Reflection and Triad all 3 together.

Jambi. Welcome to the 🔧 Army Seriously. Jambi. Jambi.

welcome to the family. there is nothing i love more than the seeing someone "get it" the way you do. you are one of us. You have so many of these moments still to have...

Wait till the moment he finds out Maynard has 2 other bands that all 3 make up the driving parts of a human. The mind, heart, and you know what

This album is the truth. I wish more ppl would listen to it.

Tool Army 💕🤘

Check out 'The Grudge' best opener on an album ever. All about how holding grudges is toxic. It's a prepper for the album of great lessons that is Lateralus.

Probably my favorite Tool song. Starts slow and full of melancholy, builds up with strength and ends in a crescendo that blows my mind. Great reaction, subbed!

Tool army, checking in

Yes that is the drummer doing all of that, also in the tribal breakdown lol. Danny Carey

I have a huge smile on my face as I watch these videos and someone discovering my all time favorite band for the first time. Welcome to the army brother

Disposition, reflection, and triad are the 3 songs on lateralus I was talking about

Studio Pneuma and then the live drum cam version. You will dig the album Fear Inoculum

Told you bro, vicarious is a great follow up for this. Be ready for you mind to be blown again

This is my absolute favorite Tool song (so far). From the interlude through th solo, the bridge, to th ridiculous but eakdown. That whole segment of the song just grabs me.

Maynard writes the lyrics /melodies for the song when there already completed by the other members , needless to say he’s a amazing poet. H would be a good one to react to

Yup that’s the drummer! Keep it rolling with the Tool reactions!!! Welcome to the Tool Army, that’s what we are called!

So not every tool song is spiritual or “enlightened”, Maynard’s lyrics are metamorphosis in themselves. He takes us fans on a personal journey as he matures through life so there’s anger, sarcasm, skepticism, reflection, guilt…all the human emotions we all feel. Keep an open mind and receive the music as it’s presented and enjoy!

Set your self up for the next one. "The darks side of humanity". Vicarious. Or "Maynerd is a good singer". The Pot.

Sometimes with tool the song you're listening to will have a lead in song, and its usually not labeled, intension is like a companion song with this, Before you listen to a song ask one of your supporters to find out what the lead in song is, if there is one, for example I know the last 3 songs on lateralis go together, I forget there names, triad and I'm blanking on the other 2

Great reaction to a great song this is definitely in my top 5 of my favorite 50 other songs by Tool...all also in my top 5. You mentioned you were doing this for your daughters...I love that. And yep...Tool has several songs that Maynard wrote for his son. More of as a warning...like that fear you get with newborns that make a new dad feel the mantle of protection...I would recommend H next. H is the middle name of his son and he warns us all through the eyes of a father to not repeat the cycle of hatred and fear that we may have received as a child. It is interesring.

I've been Tool fan since 93'. No other band can take you a journey like Tool. Maynard's vocals in mixed so that it sits right in the middle of the music, unlike a lot of band where they place the vocal out front. His vocals Become more like a instrument, blended perfectly "between the sounds". If you want to see what Maynard come do go check out A Perfect Circle, one of his other bands, it will blow you away. I would suggest "3 libras". Welcome to the Army, Spiral out, keep going.

Tool Army!

The Tool Army

I've seen TOOL live on multiple occasions spanning over a decade (first time in 2006). It's mind-blowing each time. I missed out on tickets for their 2022 tour, but I did get to see them again last year right before covid. I can die happy.

Definitely one of my favorite tool songs. And certainly represents my view of the human race and our instinctually incessant need to control, to fight and lay cruelty. My Hope Is that people will start recognizing this in themselves. That we can rise above those once necessary evolutionary tendencies. MJK frames it so well here.

I can't wait till you get to lost keys/rosetta stoned . Two songs that are listened to together. You will lose your shit lol. Also need lyrics for rosetta stoned! Great reactions brother!🤘

Watching a Tool fan born is pretty cool to watch. Reminds me of all their greatness.

Heymon, love the reactions. Tool is definitely a trip. You mentioned about your little one not sleeping. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, both girls. Both born and raised on tool music. To be honest, the rhythms and hypnotic nature of some of the songs were the best for bouncing both my girls to sleep as infants. It was always my go to in a pinch. A very good playlist is Pneuma, Right in Two, Parabol Parabola, Lateralus. Try Pneuma next, album version. Best tool song for a baby that won't sleep.

Heck yeah I was waiting for this one today hahaha Vicarious could be next 😏

There’s a part 1 to Right In Two called Intension. No one ever recommends Intension, so I recommend you listen to both songs together on your free time. Intension is a great meditation song.

We are called the #TOOLARMY!

Love your reactions! You think Lateralus almost brought you to tears! Wait till you get to the songs about Maynards mother! You really need to listen to the songs in a specific order . Maynard'smom was incapacitated for 27 years and you will.feel Maynard's emotions through his lyrics. Maynard is the lead singer for A Perfect Circle also and I would personally start with Orestes, then Judith. Switch back to Tool and do Jimmy and finally, finish with Wings for Marie part 1 and 10,000 days wings for Marie part 2. Those 2 last songs are probably the most sincere lyrics of any song ever written!

I would love to see your perspective as a religious man to Tool wings for Marie part 1 + 2 (they needs to be listened together)

Wow that's pretty crazy, I've been listening to this song all day! Synch 💕

It's so refreshing to see someone's reaction to tool's music like u do... keep it up!!!

I once was a church going man. But then I sought truth. Tool is agnostic praise and worship.

@13:47 this song stops you in your tracks. I love this reaction! It happens to the best of us.

Yes, that's all the drummer. Danny Carey

The Never ending battle between good and Evil......the Bad has been there since inception....."Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here"......

I’m always amazed when someone “discovers” Tool. A little jealousy kicks in. Welcome to the Tool Army. Now to complete your training experiencing them live is mandatory. They will blow your mind….again.

“Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.” Perhaps the most brilliant lyric I’ve ever heard….

My second concert I've ever been to was a Tool concert two decades ago in NJ for their Lateralus tour. I've been to many shows in my life and that show is still one of my favorites ever.

This is one of my favorite Tool songs. The lyrics are so powerful!

Tool Army! I’m a Forensic Psychologist who has loved Tool since 1996. I have seen them live many times throughout the years. They have are the background music for my life.

We of the Tool Army find your reactions to be Awesome Dude. Music is a powerful thing but put into the hands of "Sculptors of Sound" aka Tool, it becomes a moving force. Good Job. More of Tool Army right behind me.

Tool is one of the best "things" that i have witnessed in my whole life. I'm really happy to see someone enjoying that incredible band. I was shocked when i have heard them first time in the 90's and i'm still shocked. Love your reactions, greatings from Poland!

I found out about Tool when I was playing through Guitar Hero World Tour - I was 10 at the time & I’ve been part of the Tool Army ever since.

Descending. a transcendent song.

Been listening to tool since the mid 90s, my favorite band by far. If it hasn’t been suggested yet, “Wings for Marie” part 1&2

Your reactions are very touching since u are open to being touched. I´d recommend to you to keep up that openness and go into every new reaction with as little information you can get about each and every song. Choose them on your own, dont follow suggestions because one song means somethings special... they all do! The deeper meaning, the intricate musicality and all the references are things that will come to you while listening to the song over and over again. Feel the rhythm, witness the beauty, bathe in the fountain! Embrace the random my friend! :) greetings from a brother in heart and ear

I was about to take a nap and saw this was posted so I had to watch first lol

Woohoo Tool Army brother… God bless TOOL🇨🇦🙏❤️

This is one of the tool songs that can easily make me cry (lately the song Invincible, too!) Thank you for sharing your religious perspective. Your POV is very interesting. Much love to your daughters!

Subbed because of Harry Mack and then you went into reacting to my all time fav band. This channel just gets better Keep it up my man

Tool brings out the best reactions when it comes to music. Rock on my dude!

7empest from their new album is also great, the hypocrisy in The Pot is lovely, Judith from a Perfect Circle, not tool but Maynard, might interest you, look up the very personal story behind it for Maynard, a religious conundrum and the love for his (late) mothers plight. Theres so much to discover with them. He also has a small cameo in Rage Against the Machines Know your Enemy about half way into the song. My two most fav bands to spiral out to, and work out to are Tool and Rage. 43 Y.O who grew up to and got to see them both live many times.

Witnessing the birth of a fan of TOOL is akin to witnessing the birth of your own child.

One of my top 3 Tool songs. I just can't get enough of it.

MY MAN, Big love for the shoutout 🤘 Danny Carey, Tool's Drummer, is considered one of the best drummers of all time.. up there with Neal Peart, Jon Bonham, Mike Portnoy, etc. I've got tickets to see Tool in January and I'm so hyped, as my girlfriend hasn't ever seen em live. It's gonna be special You gotta watch the Pneuma Drum Cam to realize why his nickname is the Octopus.. keep it up, this Journey is so good

Part of the Tool Army since 93! Enjoy your journey my friend.🤟🏼

Yes, that IS Danny Carey playing the traditional hand drum from India/pakistan called Tabla. He studied under the living legend and Tabla master Aloke Dutta. There are videos of Danny playing with Aloke on stage from a while ago. The man is a percussion genius.

It's such a great trip...down this rabbit hole. Your experience is so much different than most existing Tool fans, as, like myself, my love for Tool was something that was built over many years and it continues to grow every day, almost 30 years later. You're more in a Tsunami, so take it slow and keep your head above sea level at all times. I hardly ever subscribe, but I enjoyed your take...so I did.

Welcome to the experience of TOOL!

You're starting your Tool journey on a very advanced level, but that's ok it's Your journey, plus you're already ahead of the curve by understanding Jung's work and instrumental subtleties, it'll be difficult to go back to the foundation of Tool's embryonic state, but when you go through the early works just know that every album is the inevitable evolution of the previous album, this will help you appreciate the name "Tool" use this music as a "Tool" to grow, advance, understand, escape, chill, or whatever you need or want the "Tool" to accomplish, spiral out

I believe this is hands down the best reaction I've seen in terms of picking up what Tool is putting down. Subbed.

Awesome reaction! It’s great to see another man of Faith appreciate TOOL! I’m a new subscriber so I’m not sure what tracks you’ve listened to already but it’s a journey to experience for sure. May I suggest Descending and 7empest(Tempest) off of Fear Innoculum. Great songs and even longer than this one but such an incredible journey. God Bless

i’ve heard this is from the perspective of the devil…but that’s the beauty of Tool. Every experience is a unique experience

I have always thought When listening to tool I call it the awakening of the spirit. 10000 days is the album I will always see as their best work but then again all of it is their best work. I was 12 when I first heard undertow and I went around school singing that album all day long and every one thought I was nuts but I had met a few ppl in Class knew what I was sing and guess what. Besties since that day. Plus being West Indian made me stand out. Now everyone who hears Tool are all waking up from their slumber and it makes me proud to finally see and meet you my Brother and Sister of Earth.

Thank you tool. 🙏❤️🇨🇦

Tool has become my favorite band... i go thru my list of music and i just cant find anything as good as Tool to listen to.... so, i listen to Tool all day. Nothing seems to compare.

Tool is My Favorite Band❤🎉❤

Oh man,Tool fan here also. They are absolutely spiritual sometimes. I need to see them live. And yes it's "Tool army". I have so many band/song recommendations. Like punk,ska,goth I can go on and on lol the metal community is great too btw.

This story reminds me of the movie The Proohecy. It's about the actual Angel War. Gabriel (Christopher Walken) calls us talking monkeys in the movie.

Right on! My favorite reaction to this song yet. Good job!

In the middle of the drum solo.. "Is this the drummer doing that?" Lol

I'm a union carpenter by trade ,and have been for 30 years, and can remember getting introduced to undertow in 1993 ,I was 25 and can remember when i was on a job site, and it was lunch time, everyone would rush down to the lunch truck, and i would rush to my truck get in hit the play start listening to undertow, burn a bowl (weed),then the rest of the day was a breeze, even if the foreman was yelling his ass of at me, because I knew the day would end and I could listen to tool on the way home drink a tall boy burn a bowl and just crews no stress, especially when job sites were usually 2 hours away from Home.

AMEN BROTHER

You mention listening to tool with your daughters... My 5 year old spent probably 6 months falling asleep to Pneuma and now has just moved on to reflection. I play the clean stuff enough around the house that I'm getting them by osmosis I think haha. I have a special relationship with the band Queen because my father basically did this, I hope tool are still touring when my kids are old enough to see them with me 🤞

The song has brought me to tears on multiple occasions. Its so beautiful. It's fantastic seeing someone listen to it and understand it, because soo many people just can't seem to hear what I hear.

We are enjoying your journey! 10,000 days / Wings for Marie are a must but these are emotional heavy.

Sebs (Sebastian?), please do not apologize for laughing at parts. This is a reaction video and your raw, honest reaction is exactly what we have all come here to see. As @Fear_Inoculum said below, we are here to share the experience of joy that we feel listening to this band and seeing that joy bloom in others as they listen to the same parts for the first time, almost allowing us to re-experience the song for the first time with you. Your reaction should be just that, a reaction, involuntary and honest. Never apologize for your honest reactions and feelings. That is what we love. I have some thoughts on the free will topic you brought up near the end btw but will get back to that later. Thank you though for these reactions and your genuine joy shared with us for your daughters. We all need more joy, reflection and camaraderie in this world as you are providing here.

You were so thoughtful in your introduction to TOOL. liked, subbed, will continue to tune in.

Discovering Tool in your 30s in 2021 is something magical.

I love how Maynard shows respect to all beliefs in the song. "Angels on the sideline" and "Talking monkeys"... Even tho his stance is "indifference." "Beliefs stagnate the mind" in his opinion.

This is for sure one of my fave Tool tracks, the lyrics are so amazing.... the music is amazinger :)

“Cuts deep” I try to remain thankful Tool exists.

Literally had chills watching you listen to this song…. I know what I learned from this or at least what it showed me… TOOL
