@teddy.d174 Год назад

POLO…your son is absolutely adorable, your affection for each other made me well up a bit, because my dad and I were extremely close and he’s no longer with us. I just found your channel a few days ago, I never liked reaction channels much but yours is incredibly entertaining and professional. I’ve heard you talk about your anxiety but it doesn’t show at all. You’re on point my man, keep it up.

@MaraxisArcanist Год назад

I actually love that quiet interlude in the middle because it just adds more impact when they drop the elbow on you in the second half.

@Modwaev Год назад

Exactly this!

@chriswebb7822 Год назад

yep, gives you a few moments to gather yourself back up before the drop!

@samhammond7199 Год назад

They also added it as another f-you to the record label, as it is basically dead air, which is no good for radio. Love it

@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers Год назад

You're a good Dad. It's an under appreciated title in life and a position that is far too often left unfilled or is filled but by those who represent it poorly.

@TheJuliousness Год назад

After Maynard blew out his voice recording "Ticks and Leeches", he said that he would never perform it live... they finally performed it live on a couple of occasions.

@Themaddtapp3r Год назад

The record execs thought the album wasn't harsh enough and wanted a hard song so they did this, but in the middle slow down to nothing...their middle finger to the label

@LanceThompsonKssooner Год назад

I always heard this as well, but recently, someone commented on another video claiming to know the band personally. Said he was a roadie at one time. He claimed it was about an internal conflict within the band. Who knows if it's true, but it's worth pondering.

@mikelary88 Год назад

I always heard that it was a request by the record label to make a more ‘radio friendly’ track which resulted in this. 🖕

@viking_nor Год назад

That makes no sense. Harsh is not good for radio. Execs want their music on radio. Especially back then

@LanceThompsonKssooner Год назад

@vikingnor h I don't think you understood what he is saying. They wanted radio friendly...they got this instead🖕

@uGotGot1618 Год назад

This may very well be completely made up, but it’s one of the tool myths I really like haha

@hickeygrad Год назад

In terms of the meaning, the backstory as I understand it is that the record label are the ticks and leeches (not the fans). The record label wanted a more “heavy metal” song and TOOL put out this behemoth but the lyrics are a middle finger to the record label, and the ponderous interlude was another middle finger and it was added so that the song would not get any air play on the radio. PS your kid is VERY cute!

@stephenashleysparkman261 Год назад

The label and the Lawyers.

@AK00777 Год назад

Ooohhh... your son! What a doll, loved seeing him and such a sweet kid. #TOOLARMY We love seeing new fans emerge and get swept away by Tool.

@daviddidder3781 Год назад

Your starting to hit the really good songs!! This is their response to the record label wanting them to put something “heavy” in the album. As a metal fan, I think other subscribers are trying to get you to treat the vocals like another instrument. Just hear the notes, not the lyrics. It’s the ultimate paradox!! Pop music, you can understand what they’re saying, but they don’t have much to say!! With metal, you can’t catch what they’re saying, but they are usually saying A LOT!!!! 🤯🤯. “Hooker with a penis” is a song directed at fans!!

@astroron Год назад

+1 to the “Hooker with a penis” - song title is misleading, but it's a more straight forward (verse/chorus/verse) and shares more about the pressures from fans

@tombruner9634 Год назад

Agree about Hooker with a Penis. Good point about hearing the notes rather than the lyrics especially with metal. A good example is The Hu Band, which is Mongolian; you probably won't understand their lyrics no matter how hard you try unless you speak Mongolian, but there is a message we can all receive.

@prodigal71 Год назад

Hooker With A Penis is the song that made me a FAN & not just liking the band...it's still one of my favorites to blast

@atelierbones Год назад

This. In HWAP, Maynard set the tone for his relationship with fans. Although he cares and is grateful for the fans, his interaction with them is Aloof at best, (because of his anxiety) and Transactional (when fans expect something they aren't entitled to, like his time offstage). Regardless, he is usually defensive, but that's part of what makes him so awesome. He recognizes his talent and does his best to protect and maintain it.

@crayb420 Год назад

They hold you in that pocket I.e (hooker with a penis, Rosetta stoned,ticks and leeches,) isn't so much about the vocals until he becomes the instrument

Thanks for not cutting out your son coming in. Shows just how down to earth you are as a person. I work from home and my middle child busts in on my virtual meetings all the time and all my co-works get to say hi and talk to him. Fun moments.

@forgetaboutit1069 Год назад

Fun fact; Danny Carey laid down the whole drum track in his first and only take. He wanted to do this to challenge himself but the band was trying to distract him through the studio window. You can subtlety hear Danny at the end "Aw, you fuckin' bastard!" to his mates. Dude is a legend!

@BrianKilner Год назад

This used to be my least favorite song but after learning the meaning and listening to it more it became one of my favorites. Looks like people have hit on the meaning a bit. There was a four year legal battle with the label over this record. The record company wanted a more metal song they could use as a single. Their insistence of having that single is what gave birth to Ticks and Leeches. "Is this what you wanted?! Is this what you had in mind?!" The slow middle guaranteed the record company could never use it as a single and Maynard got to tell them to "suck him dry" and "I hope you choke on this" multiple times.

@assmaster420 Год назад

Same here

@13lueBerryBluntz Год назад

Disposition / Reflection / Triad. This song is actually directed to the record label who wanted Ticks & Leeches to be the "radio" song, but complained that all the songs on the album were too long. They added the long ambient section to make the song over 8 minutes as a "f*ck you" to the label.

@bastardmaker Год назад

This album was really a pivotal one for Tool as far as experimenting with tonality, space and atmosphere and the record label was demanding songs that were more in line with previous output. This song was a "fuck you" to the label for demanding something other than what they wanted to create at the time. 'Hooker with a penis' is worth a reaction and a similar response to early Tool fans declaring the band "sold out" for evolving from one album to the next. I really enjoy your reactions

@hank35682 Год назад

My attention span for music increased when I discovered Tool it would be a sin for me to ever skip part of their songs 😂 I understand what you’re saying but I love the drawn out parts of their music, they aren’t a 3 minute radio band, they create an atmosphere with their music to pull you in and throw you off, my favorite songs ever made are all between 10-24 minutes long

@shaunacohen7630 Год назад

@SSPspaz Год назад

Tool fans in particular are the type of people who really *think* about the music and develop a deep connection to it. I’d also say that most of us are more intentional listeners of music as opposed to more casual listeners. When an artists music has impacted your life, there’s a certain joy that comes with seeing someone else truly experience it for the first time.

@adamcharles478 Год назад

I’m almost always listening to TOOL at the gym - and I’m almost always finishing my cardio to this song. It works phenomenal on stationary bikes and such because that middle interlude gives you an opportunity to catch your breath before you just go all out for the final two minutes.

@chadengert7786 Год назад

I feel you on that. Tool songs are more like classical music in their composition, they seem to write in movements. The more I experience it, the more I notice that there are usually 3 distinct themes within each one, each building upon what has come before. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong. It's just what I hear.

At this point, I'm wondering if/when we will come across the first TooL track that you're like "eh....it was aight...." or "it wasn't for me". They are my favorite band and I don't know that I can really point to a single song that is objectively bad or anything....given that they aren't vapid songs or anything and generally have bigger than surface level lyrics/meanings....but I have to imagine every single song isn't for every single person. Enjoying the hell out of seeing your first experiences with my favorite band though. Always a pleasure to see someone else take something away from the experience as well. :)

I bought 'Lateralus' in '01 and was blown away when I heard it. I have loved every Tool song and concert I've ever experienced through the years, more with each listen. Though, track 05-09 ('Ticks and Leeches' track 08) holds a special place for me as one of the greatest passages of music I will probably hear in my life time.

@AM-ko4pi Год назад

Great reaction Polo, I have loved this track from the moment it dropped ion 2001. If I remember correctly though, this was not written about fans. I believe it was written in response to all the lawsuits and lawyers the band had to deal with post-Ænima that subsequently delayed the making of Lateralus for years. Funnily enough it was that very delay that spawned A Perfect Circle.

This entire album is an absolute masterpiece. The layers and thought and effort they put into this album is mind blowing and soul jarring. Even the album artwork was incredible.

"H.", "Eulogy", "Jambi", "Prison Sex", and "Opiate" and/or "Opiate²" (the one with the little 2 at the end is a very recent remake of the original Opiate song from 30 years ago i think it was) If you want something even more weird by them, "Rosetta Stoned" is definitely an interesting experience as well but you'll definitely need to read the lyrics as you go!
