Hip-Hop Head REACTS to TOOL: "Wings for Marie" (Part 1 & 2) 

ditto. I can't even count how many times I've listened to a Tool song before I got it..and loved it.

Some of my favourite songs are ones which on first listen I really didn't get or appreciate. Opeth for the longest time I really got off on the wrong foot with, but in the end a decade and change later, my god - they have some of the greatest music ever laid down imo.

100% It took me ages to get Schism. I love that song now. Definitely not a song you could listen on repeat but an absolute masterpiece. Also, I loved Lateralus from the first listen but it definitely took some practice to catch the Fibonacci sequence in the time signatures. Tool are an amazing band, but fuck me, they can melt your mind 😂

@Dexy Chan Apparently I live in a world where people are not smart enough to understand the distinction between 'never apologise' for disliking a Tool song and, 'never apologise' for anything, ever.

@@jamesstewart6623 You maybe. Schism is my favorite song and listen to it quite a bit.

For me it's the 10,000 days in the fire part just before it.

The whole song makes me well up. He’s incredibly passionate about his mother. I lean more toward Judith than Wings for Marie ideology wise, but Maynard made an epic masterpiece to send his mother home.

Full goosebumps on both arms

Dude every single time it gets to that part even if I try to prepare myself!

Reminds me of my grandfather. Tear up every time. A great example of why tool are the best.

Rule #4 Don't overthink. "Overthinking, overanalyzing separates the body from the mind" Tool - Lateralus

No one will question someone who says their favorite instrument when listening to Tool is the drums. No one. Danny Carey is a living legend behind the kit.

@@branlopgar You can't look past Adam Jones tho he's so under rated. They're all truly master's of what they do. Even Maynards voice is used like an instrument in the songs. They're like no other band they've made their own music genere. I've never heard anything close to what they do with the signatures and the tempo its crazy they truly take you for a ride on every song

Agree.

Daney Carey is THE greatest of all time

No matter your opinion on Tool, it’s universally accepted that Carey is the greatest alive today

That quote is my next tattoo.

Still makes me well up with emotion... only song ever too do so

This song legit makes me tear up every time I hear it. And that "Give me my wings!" part always gives me the hardest chills

Me too.... I have to fight down tears every time I hear that part.

I was listening on my way to work. Teared up a little. Every time.

*Justin Chancellor

Tauseef Baggia Justin chancellor is the bassist. Danny is the drummer

@@ProsperoFinch I know. I was saying that Chancellor is more of an integral part of the band with Danny Carey right behind. Maynard of course is the center because Tool wouldn't be Tool without him. Then again, I play bass so I may be biased but still. I'm learning drums as well.

@@tauseefbaggia5140 I play bass too so I might be biased, but if I've found anything from learning Tool songs, its that the bass is a really huge driving force to their songs. Although I would put Justin and Danny on the same level of importance.

every member of tool plays a huge part, danney carey is the best drummer ever period, maynard is one of the best vocalist/lyricist out there, and adam jones and justin chancellor are easily the most creative unique guitar and bass players ever

Gives me chills every time I hear that line. So much emotion in maynard's lyrics.

Facts💯👌🙌

my grandmothers that's who I think of when I hear that line

@@martyfromnebraska1045 yeah this is the main toolgasm

^^^^^^^

In a certain way, listening to music requires skill like anything else. If you can't pay attention to how each instrument intertwine and compliment each other as the song progresses, then you're not really hearing the song the way it's meant to be heard. I hate articulating this shit. I just read back the sentence that I wrote just now and I can understand how some might misinterpret it. It's just hard as hell to explain how to absorb what this band has to offer without sounding pretentious as all hell. So what I usually do is just get people high, shut the hell up, let them hear it for themselves, and hope they understand.

and away and away

@@X3MAntics You can learn that dude. Everyone listening to tool these days learned that aswell. Very few individualls are able to focus on every instrument at the first listen from the start.

@@X3MAntics Bless up mate.

That is exactly what took me to another level of appreciation for Tool. Hours of isolated listening with my eyes closed. Then I did the same thing on acid.

Agreed, as much as Maynard didn't believe in organized religions, which i totally get, This tribute to his Mother is beautiful, I personally think that he's saying sarcastically "yeah Mom, you were only a cripple for 10,000 days (true story) your Faith never faltered, So I hope your 10,000 days of Suffering was worth it and you BETTER get your wings ! Maynard loved his Mother and didn't believe if God really existed WHY would he let her suffer so much? Very powerful song...... I love how the last verse He says :You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence Judith Marie, unconditional one: Should you see your maker's face tonight Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him: "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one" Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home................................now thats what music is!!!

@@monicajean37 I don't believe he's being sarcastic in this song at all. In the A Perfect Circle song "Judith" he's definitely being sarcastic but here, not so much. I believe he absolutely hopes her faith has been well placed and that if there really is a heaven then she's a shoe in.... You're the only one who can hold your head up high Shake your fists at the gates, saying "I've come home now Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended It's time now, my time now Give me my, give me my wings" He also touches on the fact that he never quite understood her, or others religious beliefs but that she was a testament to the strength one can attain in believing in a higher power... Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance Burden of proof tossed upon the believers You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence Judith Marie, unconditional one Just my two cents anyway.

Ikr?? Love that lyric

@@monicajean37 I read Maynard's biography a couple of weeks ago and as it relates to his mother it is even worse and gives perspective on where he is coming from in regards to organized religion. His mother's church was fairly fundamental in that they viewed a person suffering from an illness to be a sign from God that they deserved that illness. So when Judith had an aneurysm that resulted in partial paralysis, for (some) members of that church, it was proof that she had strayed from God and deserved that fate. Later when she decided to live with a male friend to help with living expenses she was essentially kicked out of the church because she was "living in sin" according to that church. I think that is a sick form of religion and deserves to be rebelled against. Tangentially related, in "Schism" Maynard sings these lyrics: The poetry that comes from the squaring off between And the circling is worth it Finding beauty in the dissonance He then sings "Hallelujah" in 10,000 days about his mother's passing. It is extremely religious and at the same time dissonant with his views on religion but there is also extreme beauty within the lyric/feeling/context of the piece. Powerful as hell but not everyone gets it.

May God grant your mother whatever grace and peace that eluded her on this earth. And should He refuse, let me be the first to hold Him by His neck and wring Him till He succumbs. There is only one great mother on this earth, and every child has one. P.S: Thank you for the tears.

Allen Smith. {aAffect.} absolutely.

Undeniably.

Indubitably.

Ok relax

@hudson hahahaha 😂👍

Killer Pumba when you know the whole back story it's a lot more impactful..

Every damn time! 😢

Same here

Same. I am a 2m bearded guy sitting here with tears in my eyes wanting to tell my mother that I love het

+1 for "The Grudge"

ticks and leeches

Dirac_dydx mine has the best hypotenuse in the whole world

"Mother is the word for God on the lips and hearts of all children." Eric Draven 1994

My mother is this 🍄

Yeah Judith is first part to the Maynards mom trilogy must listen it sets the mood for the wings pair

Agreed!! Great song

I thought he already did?

@ozzy young. He hasn't reacted to a single a perfect circle song.

@@skith8432 calm down my bad though he did I listen to tool and all of the above so I'm burnt out

Sorry pal

Mine did as well...January 1 2008....

Grimm Joke how are you now man? I’m sure 10 years later it still bites you in the guts!!!

😭😭😭 I'm so sorry.

Hi there man, I lost my mom to lung cancer in the morning of 8 of Dec 18, she was just 46. I miss her so much. I've been trying to get out of this insanity and grief, I know the pain man! Hope you get better!

I feel the same with this song, my grandma past away 2 years ago and every time I listen to this song reminds me the time when he was suffering :( I love this song so much Ps. Sorry for my bad engliish

I can definitely relate. My grandma died on the 4th of July this year.

You've seriously been to that many Tool concerts?

and thats the problem, they have so many songs like this that they all start to sound the same. 3 albums of the same sound is boring.

@Knotunit you get bored by quality?

Negative Assasin he means the songs all have the same kind of feel to them, which I disagree with, but to each their own.

Somehow missed this comment before making the exact same suggestion. They are good separately but listened to consecutively is almost a holy experience.

@@Knotunit only boring people get bored!

Vicarious

The Pot

Also push it, and jimmy

I think the song you missed is... oh, every other song they put out. Seriously, how do you pick songs for people? They're all genius, and everyone finds different songs amazing at different times.

How can someone forget schism?.....or forty six & 2?

You want real headbangers, then you go back to stuff from the Opiate EP.

The Pot is cool and all but I don’t understand why people like it THAT much. They have so many way better songs to choose from.

@@dutchmastah07 yes I agree ..but if you want a newbie to dig tool in first listen pot is such a song ..else I'd have suggested stinkfist or parabol-parabola or schism or vicarious or so many other songs !!!

LISTEN TO JAMBI IF YOU WANT TO BREAK YOUR NECK

@@adamrose6969 Yas!

Another reason to not react: medias been seriously becoming JUST tool and slipknot lately

EggCore makes sense new albums are dropping people want to see what all the fuss is about

Menny Trevizo 🤣😂🤣😂

LOL

Most of tool fans cant

Breathtaking

zSaafeh you are

I loved you in Point Break bro

Keanu Reeves when are you going to do HotOnes? Big fan of your work btw

@Keanu, 10,000 days what an album🤪 I think fear inoculum is already sounding like a deep solid sounding album already🤯🤯🤯

....All of this while still singing and performing on the floor suffocating the fan until security arrives to take the poor bastard away !!!

FUCK YEAH!!🤘🏾😈

Lol the fans fist pumps as he was being strangled about made me die.

ViciousKarmaTV he made tool baby’s and painted them blue

@@bubaa1218 Ok Maynard

Vicarious is one of my personal favorites

On a different topic what the hell is up with the Sox?

@@craigchick8536 Lol most inconsistent season I remember in awhile. Have showed signs but pitching is way to bad to do anything this year.

It's my favorite tool song would be great!

yeah he surely seems to like a more energetic and aggressive songs. vicarious would be perfect for him

I agree on that or the patient is another good one he should react to

That ending man, you just don't want it to end.

I fourth this, The Grudge is mind blowing. Should also do Lateralus and Parabol/Parabola but...The Grudge.

Same excellent band

I also had the pleasure of seeing them perform this live, following Flood. Probably one of the best sets I've ever seen. It was so long ago and so early in my Tool journey that I didn't even fully appreciate the privilege of the specific set I got to see. Especially Flood! I saw them in 2007 at Everett Events Center, which I found a video of recently and had to relive it. Especially considering that I was there with a dear friend who is no longer with us. Peace brother. ✌️

Get this man a medal for his amazing request!

This is exactly how I feel about the matter. If Alex listens to a song I like and he disliked it it would suck for me because I want to show him cool songs, no hard feelings right? Tastes differ and thats a great thing.

Yeah Tool has one of the most rabid fanbases

i dont think the hate was bc alex disliked the song but when he said it doesnt sound like tool and also when he said that it lacks heat. but for me personally i dont care if someone dislikes the band that i like.

I think he already did a couple other older/heavier songs. I think.

don't forget about Lateralus

he did 2 songs before he reacted to the newest one and also i think alex chose these 2 by himself

Yes, Vicarious is my favorite song, he should definitely react to it.

well, one ought to be open minded and unbiased to even consider it

He is getting unsubscribed for his lame opinions. U guys act like he is ur friend or something

@@brianchiaro1191 dude chill it's an opinion tool is amazing but don't hate because opinions or ignorance

@@brianchiaro1191 perhaps it's YOUR opinion that is lame. Don't watch a reaction video if you're only willing to accept opinions that parallel your own.

I can’t find the video you used for Wings for Marie part 2... does anyone have a link?

Was about to suggest this before I saw your comment

She was still alive then as well.

Was just about to say the same thing.. he should of listen to that before these yo kind of get the story better

A perfect circle formed 3 years after 10000 days came out

@@thefringelunatic73 Huh? APC have been around for over 20 years. Judith came out in 2000 and his mom was present at concerts where he performed it

Logan Bremerman thank you! :)

Outsider :)

Eat the Elephant sucks...why you tellin dude its reaction worthy and have him waste his time?..moron

@@gdub454 Yikes buddy

Fantastic album

Not exactly. Judith dropped before 10k days

Yeah it’s the first in the trilogy. Kind of chronicles his own growth from anger to acceptance

Dexy Chan ending with pusifer’s horizons

How can it be a continuation when Judith was released YEARS before?

They shouldn't hate it tool is tool diversity is tool they do heavy and light metal with a tribal spin but opinions are opinions people are gonna hate I guess

kashmir772 once you accept the fact that you need to digest Tool songs a few times to begin and really appreciate their music, the first listens become more apparent that it’s the opening of a journey into unknown territory in which you’ll slowly unveil its beauty. I’ve found that with their recent songs on fear inoculum they really do blossom over time

No he didnt. He chose the one HE wanted to react to.

YES!! That scream and drum solo will blow his mind
