Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) (REACTION!) 

He's totally a goddamn monstrous incarnation of some higher power, embodied.

Half man half octopus

A BEAUTIFUL monster!!

@@Parrish_Muhoberac All that occult stuff really works!

Danny is Alien. Big strong beast. The GOAT. 😁🥰

My best friend is black and a huge Hip Hop fan and writer/rapper/spoken word. Tool is our favorite band.. And Maynard is his favorite lyricist.

Haha f’ing a… cheers brother.

Once you enter a Tool concert all skin colors disappear and become chromatic iridescent.. no white, black, brown nor yellow.. just a rainbow of reflective brilliance.. PEACE BROTHER..

Tool is for free minds. Color ,race ,gender none of that matters..seen them in Austin and I was blown away.

I’m African American and have been to four Tool shows. IMO hip hop can’t come close to this skill. PS. My brother as well loves this.

No thanks I'll just go work the drive through. Yall have fun though.

Been there. They told me “let’s cover 46&2”.. I said yes as soon as y’all cover eruption on guitar and dig from mudvayne on bass I’ll learn it lol

@@thefilthycasual3068 hahahahaha!

Haha I happened to be one of the "other guys". We decided to brand ourselves as a Tool cover band. Drummer quickly bowed out, and I don't blame him. The new guy that came in didn't really know Tool so was willing to try. Had he known I don't think he would have joined, but he's been a good sport and stuck it out. We're a year in and we've got 8 songs down.

I've been playing for 20 years, and there are maybe 4 or 5 Tool songs I can play. Danny is on another level. Dude can play 3 time signatures at once

It's like coming home in a harmony

Leveled up!

Tends to happen when your ballz damage floors behind you

Those plus pushit. And I'm curious of their thoughts on the 10k days combo

Oh and ticks and leaches!

They would absolutely love Right in Two

Literally any song by them is worthy of a marathon, and hopefully they make sure the combo songs are done right like Parabol/Parabola and Disposition/Reflection/Triad.

Please do this :) !

There is a $hi+ton of effort here. What seems effortless is a testament to his hard work and capability.

Exactly. This is what decades of study and hard work can get you when you apply yourself, and remain humble. Danny Carey is a student of drumming. And you can tell, this man has done his homework. And now the student has become the master.

@@alexgibson8153 Exactly lmao. I can practice a part for a year, and it'll still be just as hard, minus the muscle memory lmao

@@ViktorFriez THE Master. As far as drumming goes he's Awakened Master level.

Heard someone mention that Danny Carey's playing is an example of someone who has natural talent who pushes himself for 40+ years to continually become better and better

I'm 40 I just played Forty Six and Two to my 6 year old today......he like it...breath released.

Your dad was much cooler than mine

Eulogy has always been one of my favorites. Thats an awesome story man.

I remember discovering Tool as a 16 year old. H was the song that drew me in. I remember I had taped it off the radio and was listening to it in my jeep parked under the carport. There was a hurricane and I sat out there in my jeep blasting H, watching the weather. I'll never forget that.

@@jenniferhill6506 Sounds like a wonderfull memory! Glad to see that more people have sort of the same experience as me!

Lmmfao 😆

HAHAHA that's funny man. And TRUE!

I have those sticks and they might as well be 🤣

Wow....nailed it!!!!

Enemies? Danny Carrey doesn't have "enemies." Those were sacrifices to The God of Percussion.

But Lars was his first 😉

We all start out with Metallica 😆

@@slowbro173 Very true,Lars is the reason i started playing drums...LEGEND

Lars should have his own reaction channel. I'd kill to watch him count, listening to every other drummer on earth...

If Lars could write a song. I imagine it would be called time is magic. I actually do this in traffic jams.

You must not have heard all the drum legends out there. Danney is certainly very good, but not even close to being the best.

@@truthseekerKJV Are you high???

Top 3 all time

@@truthseekerKJVhe’s the greatest. No other drummer comes even remotely close.

@@truthseekerKJV You're right. Danny Carey is great, but there are people out there that are on an entirely different level, like Larnell Lewis or Gergo Borgai just to name a few.

They said they wouldn't but come on.. they have too

@@gnarkilleptic4871 True hah, i love how the reaction is honest, with 7empest it could awsome !

@@gnarkilleptic4871 Did they? Hmm, didnt see that. Bummer!

What u mean Modern music? He is like easily top 5 all time

you spelled "history" wrong

Tool was my first love. I was 12. 🤙💪

Indeed.

🙌🖤🔥🤘🔥👁🔥🌀

As a kid, I was drawn to their videos. Now I am nearing 40 and they still seem so fresh, innovative, and exciting since I first heard them nearly 30 years ago.

@@jessedominguez543 thats adorable. I was probably around 10, 11 when I first heard them. I remember starting high school in 1999, 2000 and all of the Amazing albums that came out.

Oh man I hate my dislexia. I've just read it as "diarrhea Rush fan" and almost fell from my chair.

@@Snow-lv4bk I am though

@@Snow-lv4bkSo, your brain is a comedian.

@@erad67 yeah, it has it perks sometimes

And Neil was Danny’s idol and inspiration. I love them both

For real. Just showed up with some johnsonville’s and decent beer. So nonchalant about something I could never wrap my head around.

He looks like a guy who sits in at the bar pulled on stage because the original drummer did not show up. But only after making his next pool shot!

That's how greatness works, make it look effortless

Haha yeah!!

Dude could have a hot dog in one hand and still kill it.

I was thinking the same

This made me genuinely laugh til my eyes watered, thank you :)

What a great time to be alive, yes!?

Have you seen the recent video of 53 year old Mike Tyson training? Check it out. Old guy mastery is truth.

Plus the hi hat can be played open or closed for different sounds. Or alternating between open and closed.

Are you fuckin me? He's really 58? I occasionally play in a band with two family friends, both nearing 60, (my dad's 65) and they both tell me, "I'm so old, you wait til you're our age blah blah blah" and aside from my dad, who works construction with me on a daily basis crawling around in attics and stuff giving them shit for not being able to bend over, you BETTER BELIEVE my old drummer buddy is going to hear some shit now lol. We play old cover songs from the 70s, and don't get me wrong, you find me someone who doesn't love old songs from the 70s and I'll kiss yer ass, but they act like they're nearing death and they're not even 60! People are too funny man, lol.

He’s actually 59, birthday was in May

@@djjazzyjeff1232 He's also ripped and in TOP TOP form..Can't do it otherwise

7empest is like a mash up of everything good by Tool over their whole career combined.

I know you guys said no more from this album, but I think you are missing out if you don't do it.

7empest...please for the love of god.. react to this song.

@@garrettshirley3823 please don't for the love of God. Just for us. 😂

YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEES PLEASE

Stephen hang in there buddy. I’ve battled my own demons for years. Right now I’m the same man. My mind is nuts. We got this brother. Stay strong 💪

I just came back from the funeral of one of my best friends. the original video is one of the last things he watched and enjoyed, before depression took over. feel ya man, keep it up

keep your heads up boys

Hey man, hope you are doing well and doing better. Keep your head up and don't lose that fight.

When you're at the bottom, the only way to go is up!! 🔝🔝🔝

I think he is great but there are plenty great musicians out there that can play what he does and also write it.

Robert nope!! That’s like saying there are plenty of blues guitar player that could play Hendrix and write his music. Sure if a really good drummer practiced enough they might be able to play it but to say they can write a masterpiece like this Pfffs

@@joepokro4824 uhh there are way better drummers and drum composers out there than Carey. His playing is actually pretty outdated now in the progressive scene (though the melodies tool writes are what REALLY shows their age). Honestly the most unique thing about his drumming(these days) is the drum tone. Not to detract from his compositions at all, but to say no one can compare is pretty ignorant. There are much better and more creative bands than tool out there right now.

But I agree with the original comment. That's definitely where Danny shines, keeping everything in a groove

@@irockmajorly which other prog drummers produce such melodic/hypnotic/'mystic' complexity in their drumming? i feel like i've listened to nearly every progressive, experimental, technical metal and rock and i'm pretty sure i've never heard anything that approaches Carey's work

He would break the scanner

It’s a statement.

And Maynard's longest scream!

“The scalp tingle”

Yessir

There's so much depth to their albums. The more you listen the more you hear. I love taking psychedelics and hearing even more hidden treasures.

That has been my experience with every single Album. That's just Tool for you. It never blows you away right from the start and most times you just really go "meh". But you still keep getting drawn back to it over and over and with each time you do it grows on you more and more. Tool music is not for those looking for instant gratification and deffinitely takes some time to fully appreciate.

Word. Str8 up!

@@HotSkorpion Amen..! 🇦🇷😀✌🏾

Yes, yes, and YES.

Agreed

As a prog rock/metal band with songs over 10 minutes and a 13 year ''break'', they still managed to score first place on the charts for a few weeks, above some of the most known pop artists who also released a new album at the time. Most of the negative comments I stumbled upon were from either people who dislike Tool and don't like to see them on the spotlight or Tool fans that are angry at Maynard because he didn't sing much. In my opinion, this is one of the best albums I've heard. I'm someone who listens to hip-hop, rock, metal, pop, eletronic music, country and much more. I don't want to sound like a Tool stan and say they're the best ever because it's impossible to say something is better than the other when it's different (for example, comparing Tool to Eminem) but this album and this song in particular are some of the best pieces of craft of music I've ever listened to in my life. The album has been out for almost a year and believe it or not, I still listen to it at least once a day.

This will be remembered as fondly as ANY of the TOOL catalog or ANY of their albums. Like it or hate it, this song and this album is undeniable.

They are only able to say that because Tool has already set the bar extremely high. It's an incredible record, undeniably.

They're just simple minded dumbasses. Just ignore them.

😂😂 (note: You passed 200 likes brooo)

@elusivelectron Read what I wrote above... explains the whole thing. It's all Arnold Schwarzenegger's fault.

They truly get it

That makes them my top 5 reaction channels... I feel them

I don't know man. I hear 3 musicians that are writing at their best, as passionate and talented as ever if not even more, with hunger to get out of their comfort zone. And then there's this dude that treats Tool as his side project, he clearly picked favourites because his work w APC is amazing, and his work here is uninspired af. A spit in the face to his collegues and the reason everyone is criticizing this album.

Arcanineisthebest I would agree with you if I didn’t find myself always singing the lyrics. Maynard did the right amount of work and let the other 3 shine. Too much Maynard on this album would have been a disaster. Also, A Perfect Circle was just ok. Nobody cares about them anymore.

@@Arcanineisthebest Strong disagree. What Maynard wrote and sang, even though it wasn't much, was very good and still filled with meaningful things. Great voice as well for his age. I'm absolutely glad that he let the other guys have the spotlight, otherwise we wouldn't have had sick instrumental parts like in 7empest, Descending and Pneuma where it's just one hell of a phenomenal trip. Also not sure who ''everyone'' is but it surely isn't the majority lol

@@SN4K3P1T000 I agree. The thing I like about this album is the fact that each musician is spotlighted. No, this album doesn't sound like any of the others, I think that in itself shows the maturity and creativity. If there's one thing Tool has always been great at, it's bringing a different sound with each album while still maintaining that "Tool" sound

​@@SN4K3P1T000 Maybe I was exaggerating when I wrote that comment, he did a good job. If you're good at your job you're good at your job. I'm also not asking for more, I don't care for grandiose vocal passages that critics like Anthony Fantano are criticizing him for not doing, Tool has never been about showing off anyway so that's not my problem. But to me Maynard is variety, and in this album he sounds to me a lot more conventional this time, either being the leading melody or just following along with the band, instead of being a piece of this cohesive, morphing puzzle. It's hard to explain, maybe me and my friends are just wrong, music is subjective anyway. And he definitely doesn't ruin the songs at all for me, but I do find myself tuning him out to listen to the other three gentleman, or in songs like descending just straight up skipping to the middle. I agree with the APC comment, but to me he sounds a lot more passionate in that album, but then again, maybe he is as passionate here and I'm wrong. Like I said...subjective.

Thanks for that info.

also he is a big fan of Alok dutta, the famous tabla player and deeply loves indian classical music. You can see its influence in this song a lot.

The best drummers do. You have to go to the source. Other examples of those who have looked to African Drums, Ginger Baker and Bonham.

@@Plasticjesus504 Copeland and Arab sounds.

Yep.. read my comment above! explains in a bit more detail. Thanks for adding that.

Yea you just can't deny how good Dany Carey is, he's one of the best its just the truth.

I put Larnell Lewis up there with the greats as well.

@Mindp0wer w no diss to Neil Peart, but I think Danny is on a different level. I listen to the best of Neil an I'm impressed. When I hear the best of Danny it doesn't make sense. Both are great but I think Danny is a machine

@Mindp0wer w _Bonzo has entered the chat_

@@jimhemphy1609 Truth here!!The best in the buisness by a landslide

@Mindp0wer w Neil took the path and made it 2 miles wide.

have you checked their reaction to pneuma's album version? I'd say it's a close second haha

you’re giving machines too much credit.

Machines sound mechanical, without any emotion or feeling in their playing. Danny is simply a god among men.

Human metronome.

@@irti_pk Couldn't agree more. He is absolutely a national treasure and should be guarded as one. Just so much talent in one musician, wow.

@Morbid Angel is better than Death I have heard Danny being called many things but overrated is certainly a first.. Surely you are trolling.

Its not normal at all for a drummer. Wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain puts most of them down in their 40's. He's a monster and maybe his size helps. he's 6'5"..

@@fjanson2468 That and taking care of himself. Danny's JACKED for a dude that's pushing 60.

His bass is the soul of the music.

@@randycathyquintanilla7948 He doesn't get enough credit!

Exactly. Before TOOL was all about Maynard, and now he's a background melody. Justin and Danny are the balls!

well said!!

@Jake Elliott Yeah man. Justin Chancellor has more groove than "Grand Canyon", the song by Puscifer. Just elaborating. hahaha.. :-)

I literally laughed out loud and dam near spit my tea out at the same time.....this is so on point!. LOL

I want this on the back of all their shirts lol

Everybody upvote this shit so they do it.

This needs to happen. You owe it to yourselves.

Agree, Bottom or Undertow, been waiting for it.

@@beavism305 Bottom is so good, love the part with Henry Rollins.

What about my chemical romance? Have you heard anything from them? Black Parade, Teenagers, Na Na Na Na Na

@@thegreatgabriel what. I mean the songs are good but nothing in that even comes close to the pure amount of skill being put on display here

HAHAHAHA THATS AWESOME. Teacher : "No, why?" LOL

@@thegreatgabriel I have heard a couple things, but the only song I remember liking was Famous Last Words. But yeah, they weren't really my style and then I discovered Symphonic Metal, Prog, grunge, groove, etc. and the rest was history!

Personally, i think "THE GAPING LOTUS EXPERIENCE" is Tool's BEST song... it is so much like THE DOORS. Nobody EVER has done such an incredible version of "THE DOORS" song, even though it's not a "THE DOORS" song. But it is so AWFULLY (awful being their version of a "the doors" song, and so awesome) like a "The Doors" song it almost sounds as if it WERE a THE DOORS song. Especially due to the keyboards, which, of course, there are none of. However, if there WERE keyboards, it would be the BEST AND MOST AWFUL "The Doors" song ever created, even by THE DOORS. What an incredible cover. Oh wait sorry... i forgot... it's not a THE DOORS cover. It just sounds like it is. My bad.

I could say the same about Descending and Lateralus. These 3 are probably my top 3

you know, the ending of pneuma is so beautiful... its like its meant to be repeated at least a couple of times. Me, personally - i think their album fear inoculum is the album i was waiting for. Its like everything is so perfect. As if tool said "this dude... this blackfall.. this is his taste so lets write the album that way". I mean obviously it wasnt that, but to me the album is so good that i cant explain it any other way xd

I still think Lateralus and Aenima were lightening in a bottle, this album is fantastic but i think Maynard was a tad sharper on the earlier pair.. i don't reeeally think of 10,000 days as a full length tool album, but that's another subject~ these songs are great, my favourite is invincible at the moment, but i just think songs like Reflection, H., the obvious Lateralus, Parabol/Parabola... A few tracks from Salival.. there's something different coming from the weird dude crouched in the background~ (all of this should be taken as having the friendly inflection of a lifelong tool maniac)

@@richardm6985 I discovered Tool rencently for the fanbase standards (2 years ago), but Aenima is a bit "basic" and not prog enough for me. Of course I love it, but I feel there were still building up to something. I simply find their music more interesting on the following albums. I really think that FI is Tool's best work with Lateralus.

@@TheAskald Very cool to hear the perspective of someone for whom a lot of this music is new~ i agree that Lateralus is the best :) some of the tracks on Aenima really capture an earlier stage in their career, they sound a bit more raw, but they've started mixing in the more complex ideas of Lateralus, which are the ones i really relate to~ Stinkfist, 46&2, H., Jimmy (as a piece of delicious heaviness)~ very easy for me to enjoy listening to them~ good impact, good lyrics, good instrumentation, good vocals, good stuff!

And notice his left arm resting on the leg,Unusual for a human drummer but we know that Danny is not human

Lmfao.. real talk

Nice

what a perfectly adjectivical (yeah that's a made up word but it's a real one now) way of saying it!!

It’s like watching Jordan in his prime or Ali. Or EddieVan Halen. They make it look easy. But so good. Leaving the earth

Been a fan since '92. FI is a tie between Aenima and Lateralus. IMO

Well said brother!! 🤘🤘

Tool's albums are real, all of them. But they are also auto-biographical. FI is about the fears of getting older and mortality, the naysayers, and trying to stay relevant. FI about is about shutting out the all of the culling voices and reaching deep within to create something new despite your own self doubts and everyone telling you you're getting too old and that you're over the hill. Tool is Gen-X's (my generation) greatest group. Yes, Gen-X is now approaching 60 (can you believe it!) I know that I am proud and inspired by them. My ranking of Tool albums are in reverse order last to first. I'm just a tad younger than Danny, but their albums have all fit my life when I was that age. I understand that might be a minority opinion and will not question any difference of opinion, because those different opinions are completely valid, depending on your time of life. I only hope that they bring out another gem in their 60's!

Well.. melodically, it IS the same old stuff. You're kinda delusional if you deny that. It's a good album, but it would have been better had it been released in like 2010. Music has progressed far past what they did on FI, and to me, the whole thing feels incredibly outdated. I really really hoped for something new, and I definitely didn't get that. The only thing I consistently loved on the album were Maynards vocals. Culling Voices, Invincible and Pneuma were great, but I'm very meh on most of the record. I just wish they were more bold with the melody choices. Every song has a chord progression that could have been on the last three albums, and that's not a good sign to me. Seems like Adam is the one who cant step outside their melodic boundaries. Would have loved more emotion put into the record, but oh well. Hoping they release one final project, one that's much more inspired.

@@irockmajorly you couldn't have worded it better, this album belongs to around 7 years ago for me too, Adam Jones' ears are shot as shit, his melodies and also the tone really annoyed me and he even said he wanted it to be this way, #bummer

Ticks and leeches

@@Hoof8989 Ticks and leeches is a cool track but have you watched this? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5EtB4kXzNmE.html

Finally someone with good sense... When people say that 7empest is his best track I die inside....

i completely agree! the section towards the middle to end he is doing tons of polyrythms with his hands and feet; mandalas, toms, kickdrums, hi-hats, cymbals, snare and a trigger that occasionally goes "boooooom!!"... not to mention that songs stereo hard L hard R vocal wispers, chants, and ranting with an up the middle multilayered vocal melody.... guitar played through an ultra ear piercing strangely timed solo... and probably justins busiest left hand neck-work, right hand pick scrapes, up strummed chords w/ 'certain' whammy pedal bends... Rosetta Stoned, quite a yet to be fully translated song lying somewhere in dust waiting to be fossilized. whereas it seems Fibonacci was translated like a breeze!!😕

Triad is up there too

That ending when it goes back to darker purple or whatever and chills out, you can feel the accomplishment.

He's the God of Levers.

They gotta listen to the original first. It’s the best cover of any song ever!

OthMan yep I totally agree

Yeah... 2 reaction videos... the original and then the Tool version. This will blow you guys away SERIOUSLY

Yup... that’s why no one should do a review of a tool album until a year after it comes out

10,000 days is still a pretty blah filler album (except for vicarious). Same as this album. They pretty much peaked around lateralus

Richard Dukard wtf are you smoking?
