"It's so HEAVY. Heavier than a lot of the stuff they do." Man, people really sleep on 10,000 Days. That album goes HARD.

This isn’t a live video. The uploader just took the song “Jambi” and added effects to make it sound live. He did such a miraculous job and it’s hard to notice.

I've listened to this song enough times to recognize that this is the studio recording.

Adam Jones, the guitarist is using a "talk box" on his guitar solo. The pitch of the guitar is controlled by your voice because the guitar is feed into the microphone through a big tube.

Just react to every Tool song, they're all so infinitely good

Beth... you have fallen into the MJK rabbit hole. Welcome!

Maynard doesn't have stage fright, it's just his latest persona, its about the music not the giver!

I really want to see her reaction to maynards scream in the grudge.

Video by video, I'm slowly watching her turn in to a Tool fan. I love it.

Maynard doesn't have stage fright. He's shifting focus from himself to the music as a whole.

Jambi was the first song they played when I saw them in concert and it was awesome. The lights were still on, roadies were tuning sound equipment and shit, crowd was just talking, then out of nowhere lights out band is playing. Best start of a concert by far. We never even noticed them take stage.

I’d like to hear you react to Maynard singing “The Pot”

The guitar solo is done using a Talk Box, so you were essentially right, it's a combination of guitar and mouth shape to produce that sound :)

This is actually studio track (with a reverb) synced with video from live performance.

Seeing Tool live was the greatest experience I've ever had. Maynard is such an incredible musician. At 70k views in 3 days it's safe to say Tool is a winning react!

Damn, it looks like TOOL and Alice in Chains fans are running this now! Great as always, Beth. I recommend "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden

PLEASE respond to Tool's "Right In Two"....It is an Absolute MASTERPIECE!!

The black guy is Michel Winslow, famous voice impressionist. The part you are talking about is a talk box

Its a talkbox guitar pedal not just through a mic btw

The talk box is a sweet guitar effect that pumps the sound from the amp/guitar into your mouth and you can effect the tone by shaping your mouth. The basic Peter Frampton goodness.

Beth is awesome, and I love Tool, but this was the studio version. We got duped!! :) Great video, all the same. I love your insight, Beth. Your on-the-fly breakdowns have such a base of knowledge that you're pointing out things I hadn't noticed in hundreds of replays of these songs. I only discovered you today, but you earned yourself a new subscriber/fan. Always so positive.

and with this video i'm listening to Jambi for the 8th time today a very good advice for ur channel: do every single Tool song!

You're awesome BethRoars! Great song, I really like your Tool and MJK reactions. Thanks and keep up the great work

I love this reaction because at the beginning of this video the eagerness of the presenter, the 'youtubeness' is visibly drawn out of her by the gravity of the song and the realness of this band, you can actually see it. The awkward intro smiles and energy disappear into, oh dang this is an actual song and it's getting me, exactly what I felt when first hearing this song.

Your reactions are priceless, I wish I could listen to these songs for the first time again

Would very much recommend doing the Grudge by Tool from their 2002 performance at Madison Square Garden. It is bananas. Fun video though Beth!

Beth, I would love to see your reaction to Puscifer's The Humbling River. It is a duet between Maynard James Keenan from TOOL and Carina Round. It is incredible, a little softer and shows a stunning blend between their voices. The lyrics are almost like a folk tale and it gives you goosebumps when their voices meld. I'm sure you will enjoy it and find it quite fascinating and beautiful.

"he's not lit. He doesn't want to be lit." perfect description of MJK.

This is a mix of the studio version and some live shows with reverb and the crowd mixed in. I recommend 3 libras by A perfect circle live in the tonight show kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nriRa9V_0ajFm4U.html. He is performing in front of the band in that one

Great to see you doing TOOL/Maynard vocals again. Been looking forward to it! Actually, he started going in the shadows of the back to not be the focus of fans, down play it from other members and blend his vocals like he’s just another instrument. He was front and center from ‘91-99 before he started in ‘01. Yeah, around that time too, he started using later more effects and distortion as he’s gotten older having lost some of the power and range. And loss of so effortlessly. Plus, add some creativity to it. And prior at times to not blow out his voice with all live shows they do.

Seeing you rock out to Tool makes me smile

could you do a video on serj tankian from soad? i found his voice and the way he sings to be really diferent from everybody else

This is one of my favourite Tool songs, the intro riff and the talkbox is solo are two of the best things in music. More Tool please! Keep up the great work 🙂

Love this song! Seen it live multiple times it's absolutely amazing! DC drumming insane as usual. 🤘

Thanks for the most genuine happy smile I've hade in real long time! Seeing your enjoyment in one of my top 20 of tool for sure

"3 Libras" from A Perfect Circle's performance on Jay Leno! Pweeeeez!

React to Pearl jam - Black (unplugged)

1:44 - 1:52 that is exactly my face every time I listen to a new Tool song! It's like "Oh this is weird...... [smiles] and I like it!"

Loving all the Tool. Jambi is one of my favs for sure

I love watching someone fall in love with tool!!!

after 26 yrs (last month. Yes. I remember the exact moment) of being a huge fan of TOOL I must admit to being a bit..A LOT frustrated with nothing new for 13 F'N YRS (sorry) But as such, Ive become a bit...."ahhh whatever with that band" In my attitude. "Those guys are dead to me". But then......i watch some experience them for the first time. And get the pure pleasure of recalling my forst time. And its so very beautiful for me. Watching Beth listen to them and watching her get to feel what ive enjoyed for so long re energizes my LOVE!!!! My need. My hope. My happiness. Thank you for this video, Beth. You are genuine. And I appreciate your enthusiasm for, life music and the love it delivers. Thank you for your honest, and contagious passion. And, of course, thank you, Danny, Adam, Justin, and Maynard. NOW GET BACK TO WORK ON THE NEW STUFF, GAWD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love how into Tool you are. Welcome to TOOL army! The most meaningful modern music.

This is my favorite Tool song!

Sometimes Maynard sings into a megaphone held up to a mic to get a specific sound

Tool reactions are my favorite category in KZfaq

Colter Wall. "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" his voice I'll blow you away!!

I am very happy you react to Maynard so often lately! But this video isn't really live. The dude just added a bit reverb to the studio version and some crowd noises. So this is the song from the album. Nevermind, it shouldn't affect your analysis.

Maynard does not have stage fright. The reason why he used to perform(and sometimes still does) up front, often nearly naked aside from body paint, and now is in the back, usually unlit and nearly a silhouette, is because the emotional investment and vulnerability he gave in those early years was returned more often than not with blind idiocy, objects being thrown at him, screaming imbecilic fanatics, ignorant flippants and tragic misunderstanding. He stays in the back and gives less of himself during his performances nowadays for his own physical and emotional protection as well as the fact that he feels he has become too often the only focal point of the bands he performs with and prefers to step out of the limelight and let the other members of the band step into the spotlight and receive more of the credit they so richly deserve. He sings about this in “The Patient”. P.S. The drumming you asked about is called Tabla Drumming. Danny learned from Aloke Dutta.

This is my favorite song by my favorite band....excellent choice!

Great vid! The effect used on the guitar solo is a talk box, a unit to control and modify the instruments sound with your voice by "vocalizing" the instrument's output into a microphone.

This song makes me feel invincible. Awesome video. Excellent choice! Oh and that effect you’re talking about is a talk box. Same thing Peter Frampton uses to make his guitar “talk”.

A Perfect Circle- Outsider live at Jay Leno

No other band has impressed me as much as Tool, though Nine Inch Nails is a close second in the fact that he composes and mixes his own music. Vocally, Tool takes that cake. It's just fantastic and I've been listening to them for almost 20 years and still get "the feels".

Absolutely love that you dig Tool, thanks for analyzing my favorite band! Maynard is really unique in his vocals.

Beth: “he’s not lit” Me: Maynard is so lit

I love this band, love the reaction, and love the insight. Never thought of the hows and its amazing when you stop and think about it. Good video.

Your Tool reactions are my fave since they’re my fave band

Have to say I found you because of 'Tool'! Tools pull, must be Maynard's 'genius' of voice and lyrics, and the genius of their music that JUST HYPNOTIZES PEOPLE ... who are 'chosen'... don't know what else to call it... it is so very compelling and addictive! The layers, the detail, the journey is an adventure!... You can't wait for what is next!

A Perfect Circle - Judith

Check out A Perfect Circle- Outsider live at Red Rocks

Welcome to the world of the talk box girl. Were glad to have you.

I saw tool during this tour. Best concert ever

The effect used is a talkbox, basically a mouth oriented wah pedal

Check out anything Mike Patton. One of the most versatile voices out there

I love your passion for music and vocals! I have watched a few videos of yours reacting to bands I've heard countless times before and notice new things that make them that much more artistic than I realized

I have an original Dean Markley voice box that I purchased about 45 years ago. The effect is connected between the amplifier and the speaker cabinet. When turned on, the sound emits from the tube like a speaker and his mouth is the speaker cabinet. The microphone simply picks up the sound. BTW, love your videos.

The origin of that vocal/guitar effect was Peter Frampton (his dad invented it} listen to "Do You Feel Like I Do". Best use of it is Jeff Beck, but this is really well done.

Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame Live in Tokyo 1984. You won’t be disappointed.

I really enjoyed watching your facial expressions change as something came up in the song that piqued your interest, you’re eyes would light up or you’d get a wrinkle in your nose as you were getting into the music. Very adorable.

My favorite TOOL song , thank you 🙏🏻😊

he doesnt actually have stage fright btw. its more of an idealogic stance-one railing against idol worship and wanting the entire band to get credit as a whole instead of the vocalist leading and in front, in the lights, getting all the attention as with most bands. they also usually have a huge video display in the background playing videos (at least partially created by the guitarist, Adam Jones; i saw them when they toured for Lateralus and the background videos then were amazinnng-had a transcendental flair to them much like that album-particularly in line with the Parabola video and the art of Alex Grey who i think cooperated with Adam for them.) to create an audio-visual sensory experience-they want that to get the attention it deserves and enhance the experience, which just wouldnt be the same with a vocalist in front in a goofy sunbeam commanding all the audience's attention. this is all something that was widely known in the late 90s/early 2000s, but has become sort of lost and obscured by mythos surrounding the band. also id like to see you react to H by Tool. the vocals are great there-very subtle and evocative in parts, and more of the tabla drums like in Pushit. great reaction btw, you always seem to nail it. your analysis of such a wide variety of vocalists is always spot-on. ( but more Jeff Buckley please! :) )

I suggest you check out Beyond The Wheel (Early Version), by Soundgarden. Other than that, basically anything by Tool or Pearl Jam.

My favorite KZfaqr, reacting to one of my favorite bands.. gold. Love your insight and the attention you pay to real musicianship. And, gorgeous to boot😉

Make a point to see Tool live. Worth all the time and effort. Now to have you react to the new album

this is actually the Studio version with some Reverb, great video,love your comments!

"Sounds just like the record" hahahaha I wonder why

Of all the vocal coaches I've seen react to Tool you easily go into the most detail Beth, keep up the good work.

Tool is the best. Thanks for these videos, from the states. Also I love you.

There's a song by A Perfect Circle called "Thomas". I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Please do "The Package", by A Perfect Circle! One of Maynard's most dynamic vocal performances!

Hi Beth. I'm watching this again now that their new album is out. I hope you like the new album and get to see TOOL live. Rock on!

I love the softness in his voice in this song.

HAHAHA I can't stop laughing at her reaction to the first notes... No Beth, Adam wastes no time in stressing you out with that riff. Gold.

Can you have a look at Faith No More's "Superhero" (the Radio 1 Rock Show session)? Mike Patton is well worth having a listen to.

Check out Mr Bungle Merry Go Bye Bye (or anything by Mike Patton, but he goes through the gambit in that song)

Hey Beth...the effect the guitarist is using is called a talk box.. Bob jovis livn on a prayer has it at the start....along with lots of guns n roses songs.huuge in 80s.its vocals through the guitars monitor sometimes mixed with a cry baby pedal

I would love to see you react to Sully Erna (lead singer of Godsmack) - 7 years featuring Lisa Guyer

Someone has never seen Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like I Do. (voice box effect)

Beth, that sound is a talk box. The guitar sound is sent through a plastic tube. The end of the tube is taped right next to the mic. The guitarist will put the tube into his mouth as he’s playing. Then he will open and close his mouth kinda like a wha pedal letting the guitar sounds reverberate in the mouth cavity and then it gets picked up back into the vocal mic. It’s a really old technique. Used to be something you would here in a lot of 70s rock. I agree, it’s a really cool guitar/vocal effect. A guitarist in a band I played with years ago had one. Otherwise I’d have no idea how it was done. Love your Tool break downs. It’s great to watch someone react to their music for the first time.

You have a great sense of all the components of a musical piece, and such an attention to subtle things in the vocals and instruments and to see you break down and acknowledge them is awesome, you do such a great job!!

i'd love to hear your reaction on Tool's "the grudge". (not just for that awesome long scream :D )

I honestly think people request TOOL for their overall sound. Just an amazing group of musicians. And yes Maynard does have good vocal range but this being a Vocal Coach reaction channel would love to see more Alice in Chains Pearl Jam Soundgarden or even Stone Temple Pilots.

And the phrasing over a 9 groove . Great song choice ! Thank you Beth , new subscriber

So glad your generation is getting into Tool. New stuff coming in a month or two. So you’ll finally be listening to new new! Ya know? You’ll have some new video material for sure because they have been waiting a long time to get this album out. Good job Beth! You’re so pretty and wholesome!

Would love to hear your perspective on how Maynard is dealing with age in interesting ways when it comes to his vocals. Not a lot of people talk openly about aging voices and how to manage it.

It's a crime to pause a TOOL song in the middle )))

You’re enthusiasm is wonderful and infectious : ) Thank you for sharing your insights and making these videos.

The greatest love song ever written.
