Her FIRST Time Listening To TOOL: Vicarious 

Your song SOUNDS very good BTW. Very large and super PRO!

I love how you always get that smirk on your face then glance at her when Tool is about ready to “go all in” lol.

This album came out in 2006, a year before the iPhone. If you want a song with Maynards take on cell phones check out Disillusioned by his other band, A Perfect Circle

You have to remember that this song came out like 3 yrs into the Iraq/Afghanistan War where images of war were flooding cable tv and internet. Mothers holding their children and screaming, etc. Plus the general murder and fckry that goes on everyday in the world.

Something just keeps me coming back to 10,000 Days. It's a perfect album among perfect albums.

Right in two has to be next

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so impersonal Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been... I mean c'mon, thats gotta be some of the dopest lyrics ever written, right?

I remember leaving work at 10:45a so I could be at Hastings at 11 to buy this CD the day it came out. Then I sat out in my Wrangler in the parking lot and absolutely blared this song. The Wrangler had the back seat out and a sub box took its location. I was one of those guys. Still love this song to this day (along with all of the other ones)

the vast majority of the raw material is written by the guitarist and bassist. they don't get enough credit. the drummer's contribution is the rhythmic layering.

Still here loving the show. I wish I was experiencing this for the first time again. Love your new song. Always here for TOOL reactions.

Love the hybrid form of looking at the lyrics in bits and pieces as you go!

Dont be scared to pause to discuss on these more straight forward songs, getting a feel for the lyrics and the direction is good for understanding the lyrics to come (audibly). Tough job for you to find the right spot to pause not to disrupt the musical drops and flows, but I feel like you have done a good job so far. Thanks for the content!

This journey has been so fun to watch! Love you both =)

Yeah the groove of this track is undeniable! Every new rhythm of this song is crazy catchy. It’s in my top 5 favorite TOOLS songs 🔥🌀

MONSTER opening for an album & one of my favorites from them .

Love that you included the lyric review. Love this song so much.

Opening track after a 5-year wait after an absolutely epic album. Think they nailed it. And like y'all say, different than the "spiritual" direction after Lateralus. MJK's back in the muck here with the Vicarious sneer and sass. It's interesting to me how "real" and heavy 10,000 Days hits... thinking in context vs. the way Lateralus lands. Great journey!

The is an underrated great one (they are almost all great, of course).

I support you guys whole heartedly, don't give up ❤

The greatest band ever

Love this track, also can't wait to see Val's reaction to some more Undertow songs since they are pretty different (but still very Tool)

Can't believe you referenced Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins. Has to be at least 25 years since I last read it. One of the things I love about Tom is the fun he has with metaphors. Whenever I think of SLwW, the first thing that comes to mind is his assertion that Sunday morning is a fat white cat farting footballs... something to that effect, at least. Thanks for the great reactions to Tool you two. Spaghettios!

This has to be my favorite Tool song. I love seeing people react to this one.

"We all feed on tragedy, it's like blood to a vampire." These lyrics go SO HARD.

I love living vicariously through you both, when you react to Tool

I recommend making a reaction to one of the best vocalists in the world. In her first significant vocal TV show project, in which this girl won, the judges called her a “shaman girl.” Meet Diana Ankudinova! Diana has the title - Queen of Goosebumps. Challenge yourself, can you resist the charm of her voice? One of the last comments about Diana's voice: Pffff.... her voice is really very special, unclassifiable, atypical, out of the ordinary... 💖 1) super unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones); 2) the most complex vocal techniques, a bewitching voice; 3) Diana sings in 6 languages : English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Arabic and any musical genre; 4) incredible charisma, artistry and living of any song; 5) a vocal range of 4 octaves; 6) a large army of fans around the world; 7) an independent artist, without producers and labels, only with the support of fans and reactors like you; 8) more than 20 thousand reactions (all collected in my playlists). The incredible fate of a girl found with a broken collarbone at a bus stop and ended up in an orphanage.

One of my favorite paragraphs/lyrics of all songs is in this song: "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so impersonal Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been"

still life with wood was an escape for me on a USN ship in 1984 my last year of service

I've been enjoying your journey through Tool but I have a band that yall need to experience. Jinjer is a progressive metal core band from Ukraine. Musically they tend to be heavier at times and their vocalist Tatiana is an adorable beast. Jinjer Pisces the live session is the proper Introduction to them.

music has got to be one of the best parts of the human experience 🥰🎶🤟

Ive been watching all of your tool reactions and your music has also been calling i promise to check it out and support. Thank you for promoting yourselfs and love the reactions Jinjer and Unleash the Archers are some reactions I would love to see

HOLY TRINITY!!!!! PLEASE

The line is coming up here I’m at 9:59 “credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men. Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen we shouldn’t have to say it all again. The universe is hostile so impersonal devour to survive so it is so it’s always been.” Yes I have it memorized but of course. Just waiting to see if there’s a reaction to it. The vocals but also Danny playing those building rolls with the toms is just excellent.

"Still Life With Woodpecker" is a great read! "Jitterbug Perfume" is my favorite by Tom Robbins though. Much more goin' on in that one.

Great stuff your reactions are so interesting and intelligent. Been listening to your music on Spotify, nice jobs they sound amazing so come on all you Tool fans give them a listen - Lemontech. Keep up the good work, cheers.👍

Great reaction. Val your voice is awesome girl

8:41 - desensitized? To Tool? I got a huge joyful laugh at the comment. Spiral out!!!!

you guys have become my favorite tool reactors. really like old soul too!!

Many people watch the suffering of others to remember or realize that their life can always be worse. "I lost my job today, but hey, at least I didn't get shot.". Some people try to say it's mean or evil to voyeur other's pain, but not for me. I actually enjoy crying out of empathy/sympathy and yes, it makes me feel better about all of the crap I've been through. It could always be worse. I don't believe "most of use are sheltered". Most people know pain, suffering, violence, hate, evil, etc very well...

Hello TOOL ARMY✌️

TOOL IS FOREVER

Val’s my favourite reactor, honestly. She’s very open minded and seems to be genuinely eager to sink in the music and do the journey 😊 I recommend Pushit- Salival, would love to see that. P.s. I got into Lemon Tech lately, you guys are good!

Love this song

I love watching your reactions to Tool (for the first time again), through you two. Deeply satisfying. Lots of songs left to do, keep 'em coming. ✌️❤️

The way they make u confront things about yourself u didn't know even made u uncomfortable. Simply amazing.

"Much better you than I" - we are made to survive.

I really like how the last line can be heard as is, "much better you than I" but also as "much better you deny". Great video as always!

Now show her the official video and maybe the 40 minute documentary from the Vicarious DVD, which is on yewtewb somewhere

I read you’re busy but just discovered you guys. Can you do more music reactions 😅

YESSS!

I've been listening to tool since the first album was released and still this is my favorite followed by fear inoculum

True crime, fail videos, car wrecks, wars on the news. We can't get away from it.

This song is for the true crime buffs like me 😉

Nice opening track.

They drawl you into their music so well

I would watch a video for every single song. You could do a video for intermission and I’d watch it lol. Though you should probably include Jimmy if you do that. Also vicarious is amazing, they did good making it the first single for the album.

I think this also has to do with the concept of your 'shadow' that they often use. If you don't accept or choose to ignore and bury your darker/bad/uncomfortable/deeper facets, you'll never work and grow through it and come out as a better/more developed human, and could instead be "consumed" by it. Like, you are to be willing to step through your shadow and swing on the spiral to then become pneuma, heheh.

I've requested this on every one of your tool reactions you need to do wings for Marie one and two

They are so good at build ups

12:11 Foretelling Jambi

Always in my top five TθθL songs

Drum Carey is the greatest Danny of all Time.

Jambi is next

Love still life of a woodpecker, the meaning of life on a pack of camels 🐪

Keep Spiraling Out...

That song is awesome guys keep it up. Unbelievable I love it.

this was 2006 before the iphone before social media, ridicoulus

Rosetta Stoned 😂

❤

🤘🏻🌀

I'd love to see Val react to Ticks and Leeches or 7empest

Your Song reminds me the Little Dragon

Did you hear the bass guitar in this song ?

When it comes to writing what is true yet uncomfortable to hear you need to react to Pushit. Such an outstanding song with dark themes on toxic dynamics in relationships

I just want to draw attention to the line "...so it is, so it's always been" Notice it does not talk about how the future will be. Taken along with "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men." To me this still leaves the door open to choosing another path. To have access to this path we MUST accept the biological & cultural heritage of selfish violence. To deny it is to be subjected to it again and again.

If you guys aren’t a couple you need to be. 😉

God the drums

Vicariously dipping into depression from staring at iPhones

Never heard it before? Just admit it

You need a drummer?

Mmm tough to watch humans with eyes closed, 50 years 100,00 + reaction videos and than is see this video, nope not following lyrics or watching the video, nope, eyes closed WTF this channel for their entertaining themselves. so views, watching vids all way through building a community around a channel, to each his own.. best of luck you two, no reason to return
