Bruce Roller I'm all about it. Subbed on my first video of his weeks ago. Its nice to see true love in music. But most importantly, lyrics and meaning. Keep it up
I definitely agree, but not as good as they used to be. Maynard's voice is going out on him for live shows. It was also better when they were young and raw and he was out front doing his interpretive dances, but the special effects they have now make up for it, and you get to focus more on the music and the artistry of the band with their performances today. On a note about Pushit since that's what the video was, I absolutely love seeing Justin just go crazy when he plays this song live. It makes me feel like it's his favorite song the way he gets into it. I don't know if it is, but it looks that way. Also, not being degrading to Maynard. They've said it before, and that's why they don't play certain songs anymore live because he just can't do some of them night in and night out anymore. A bad thing I think is if he catches Tool the next time they tour it will probably (fingers crossed) be on an album tour, and he'll get a lot of new songs versus the full experience where thrown in a great mix. Not that the new stuff (if there ever is any, although I did see their demo of "Descending" last time I saw them) will be bad or anything, but I think you know what I mean.
You made me realize why people watch reaction videos, it's like they get to see themselves reacting to it like when they first heard it as well. Keep up the great work.
Y'all are taking my comment wrong. This song/album/ all tool songs are great. No matter how old. I literally listen to them everyday while at work. Ive got my headphones on as im typing this.
Yeah I understand. Just reinforcing the fact age has NOTHING to do with quality. I listen to ragtime piano too. from the 30's & 40's. Bach, old jazz, you name it. In fact I think it adds something because you get a taste of what life might be like back in those days... well at least their music vibes.
Aged like fine fucking wine. Tool is the only band where the same songs get better over time when I listen to them. Could be just me but I fall in love more and more with them as the years go on.
“Just fucking listen” !! I love it 😊 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼. Love your videos especially before and after work cuz that smile and legit excitement for all types of music. 😀. Keep up the awesomeness
that "as i claw your fucking throat away" line makes me think of a scared animal pushed into a corner, like a cat, just trying to defend itself. i could be wrong but in context of the song i don't think it's meant to be aggression but defensive. anyway, amazing song. the live version from Salival is brilliant also. great reaction yet again!
The reason I subscribed to your channel was because of your Tool reactions. I have since watched many of your other reactions as well but I can see that you're truly falling in love with Tool. You are right, they are the perfect band. From the riffs to the drums and the bass, their timing is perfect. Add in Maynard's voice and you have something that isn't found in many other bands. The lyrics and the way Maynard sings them is beyond words. His screams are timed perfect to compliment the buildup in the music. You have to listen to each album from start to finish because of how they flow from song to song. It's an amazing journey. You mentioned before that Tool may cause you to do your first album review. What are you waiting for? Lateralus to me is where you need to start. Don't get me wrong, the others are amazing as well but Lateralus is just so complete. 10000 Days will rival it any day so it's a hard choice. Aenima takes me back to when I first started listening to them so I'll always recommend it. You can really hear how they evolved their sound from each album to the next but if you want to fall in love, start with Lateralus. We're waiting Preston. Get on that album review! By the way, you need some quality headphones if you want to hear all of the small details that you might be missing. Trust me. You won't be disappointed. Keep up the awesome reviews!
I agree Lateralus should be the first album review. Lateralus has many layers and can go as deep as you are willing to go. I would recommend as many have, wear headphones and do a little research on the songs before doing that "deep dive" (reference - the title track, Lateralus' Fibonacci sequence). I would recommend trying to stray away from reading too much into the meaning of each song. Tool (typically) purposely writes their lyrics in a way that is open for interpretation. Many of their songs don't have a set meaning, but more of a "nudge" in a certain way of thinking. You have to listen for yourself and come up with your own interpretation of each song. For me that album truly changed the way I view life. It might sound crazy, but I believe that album truly help mold me into the successful person I am today. If you're looking to elevate your state of consciousness and grow as a better person this might be the album for you! Best of luck with your channel and keep up the great work!
Brandon Rutledge well said. I started listening to Tool when rhey released their first album in the early 90’s ( Opiate). Like you, I believe they shaped some parts of my being into the man I am today. Cheers.
Just looked at the views to all your vids and I noticed the views for Tool songs are really low (compared to your other videos)and it surprised me. Somehow we need to got more Tool fans watching your videos. Watching your reactions is almost like hearing it for the first time.
I really like this though, because this is how you can tell he really likes Tool. He's obviously not doing Tool reviews for the views which makes me appreciate the videos even more.
Eddie Bravo is that true? They have the lowest views? The Tool videos are my favorite! It’s like I’m rediscovering Tool all over again. His reaction is the same as mine was. Amazed by the detail in the music
Tool is one of the best bands ever to bless "rock" music IMO.... as well as a perfect circle. Maynard's voice is amazing! I'm glad you enjoy them so much 🏆😍
Took my son to his first concert May 8th to see Tool. They create an amazing experience and feeling these songs with all the other people in the crowd creates a great energy.
Congrats on discovering tool bro, I've been listening to them for over a decade and a half, pushit gets better and better over time. 1000+ plays and it never gets old. Keep it up, until you cover all of their content.
It’s hilarious because I think every Tool fan feels like you do. We just want everyone to know about them and everyone else wants us to just STFU for a second and stop talking about this band 😂
Can I heart this? Lmao. My wife when we met thought I was obsessed...now she still thinks I'm obsessed, but Is obsessed as well. Lmao. She cried at one of their concerts when it ended because Maynard didnt say hi to her lmao
You should look up the "fan incident". It's an old bad quality video from the days of cam-corders, that you put a whole VHS tapes in. Maynard goes full on UFC on a dude...and keeps singing the whole time. One of the most epic, and most hilarious concert incidents ever recorded. Love your vids, keep up the good work.
It’s not just Maynard. It’s not just Adam. It’s not just Justin. And it’s not just Danny. This band is made up of 4 of the greatest at their respective talents.
Maynard James Keenan is a musical genius man. Hit up A Perfect Circle, anything from their first album (Mer De Noms) is amazing. I would recommend 3 libras as my favorite [the guitar intro around two minutes and 45 seconds packs a lot of emotion based on what the song is about], but the rest of the album is all tied for 2nd. One of the few albums where the whole album has great tracks.
Mad respect bro. When I heard Maynard was starting a new band from Tool and going to APC - I waited outside the music store to get the first run of the CD. Best purchase i've ever made. Before downloads, I had to buy 3 CD's of this because i tore the first two up so much playing them.
Dude you get it. Watching you learn how deep this music is just so effing cool. I'm utterly fascinated at this point. You should review H. If you haven't already
Funny how you mention wanting to see them live, when it's the live version of this song that they recorded for their album "Salival" (2001) that gets all the notoriety rather than this studio version. And for good reason, because the live performance of Pushit is INSANE. You HAVE to hear that one.
Watching you fall in love with Tool is an absolute delight. I've been a fan of theirs for over 20 years and it's great to see people appreciated them. Let me tell you, KTF, they are as good live as you could hope them to be. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you for giving me your energy today. I have loved Tool for years and watching this gave me goosebumps and flooded back so many great memories !!!
I love how much you love music. All kinds of music. You appreciate the vocals, lyrics, instrumentation...watching you experience new music is like watching you open Christmas presents everyday. Pure joy.
They are so detailed that every time you go back and listen to a song again you find something else that will blow your mind, when I discovered tool it changed how I listen to music bro
For real man your joy and connection is just pure love man. I love they make other people feel the way I do and to see it in your face is pure magic man keep it up!
Tool fan here, was curious when I saw your first couple titles, and now I'm subscribed and I watch them all. It makes me smile seeing you experience Tool for the first time, and I also like how you appreciate all the little things. Also, I've only been able to see them twice, but if you go to a show, it'll blow your mind. Not joking. Keep it up man
This is great. Absolutely love your genuine fascination with the music. Normally this is where we shout do that Tool song, or that other one but it really doesn’t matter.. you can’t pick a bad one. Looking forward to the next! Keep up the good work.
Dude yes!!!! I'm so happy of your appreciation and love for Tool. Definitely see em live. I've gone twice as well as a music clinic. It's not a cheap excursion so stay on top of tour dates and follow em so you can buy tickets asap, otherwise they go up real fast. It's worth it though. I'm gonna see em on their next tour forsure.
I love that you can appreciate the complexities and the mastery of each player and then the combined band's ability to create soul expanding experience. Thought I was the only one.
Hey Preston, newer subscriber here. I've been on a reaction video kick, but you have been by far my favorite. Specifically your Tool reactions. The transcendent, progressive metal/rock of Tool is truly a genre of their own. Whats even better is, you haven't even checked out some of their best songs such as AEnema, Parabol + Parabola, Disposition + Reflection + Triad, Third eye, Rosetta Stoned, H, etc. Keep up the great work, and I'll be back on the regular.
Preston, if you had any idea how envious I am of you when you first hear each and every Tool song you hear!?! I get goosebumps just watching your reactions to the crescendos of each song! The way that they construct each song really is amazing and impeccable. I’ve been a fan for over 20 yrs, and I still get goosebumps when I hear a certain part of each song that they’ve composed. Welcome to the club of the Tool obsession. It’s a bond that will never be broken. Thanks again for the true and unbiased reactions that you have on your channel 👏🏽
Watching your videos and reactions specifically tool has honestly made me feel like you have become one of my best friends haha I’m here yelling with you and so happy to see someone react to my favorite band the way I do. Love your videos man you’re awesome!
There are some tool concerts on RU-vid you can Check out but nothing compares to being there. Thanks for covering this song. It has been my favourite TOOL song for years. Hope you get a chance to hit up a show soon. Also, if you love the singer feel free to check out his other bands, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. All very unique from one another.
Push it and prison sex was the first Tool songs i have heard, and was when i falled in love for this band. Sorry about the bad english. Congratulations from Brazil!
Ive been to probably 4 tool concerts,maynard stays in the back corner in the dark he doesnt care if people see him he wants everyone to experience the music. There also is always a crazy light show and video show going on. Last one here in michigan was at the palace and the whole stage was like a giant white screen it was amazing
Your reviews are the greatest. Love the comments and the sound effects. Very original and entertaining. Like how you don't cut it up a lot as well. Good job!
I’ve spent a lot of my day watching you fall in love with TOOL, it’s awesome!! And yes, watch some TOOL 94 live AMAZIN! I’ve seen them twice, not enough, at all! It’s an experience like no other.
Great vid man! Watching your amazement listening to this song for the first time, reminds me of my own discovery of this band all over again. Sweet shit! Keep on keep'n on.
Dude I’ve seen them live so many times it’s stupid and every time, it’s a religious experience. They are better than you can possibly imagine. I can’t wait for the video after you see them live. That’s gonna be one helluva “hold on bro”!!!
Tool is by far the most intense concert i have ever seen. If you ever see them live your only regret was that it took you this long to experience them. It is an Auditory visual transcendental voyage that is second to none.
LOL I really enjoy watching your reaction vids to TooL. Ive been a huge fan of theirs for years and to see someone experiencing them for the 1st time and GETTING IT. Its just great. makes me happy. Keep doing your thing dude.
Awesome buddy! The first point you brought it back, I still do that and I’ve been listening to Tool for over 20 years! Maynard hip tossed a fan on stage, lightly choked him and finished the song while he was in “full mount” hahaha, it was hilarious!
YOU DO NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE! I just did last night for the first time and it was a mind blowing experience. Been loving your reaction vids by the way. Keep it up
Saw them live in 1997 and it is still to this day the best band I’ve seen. Like others have stated, your reactions have made me want to dust off my old albums and study the lyrics more. Keep going strong on this band. They will NEVER disappoint!
Man, you should really consider diving into Maynard's other bands since you're enjoying Tool this much!!! These songs are a good place to start: Puscifer - Galileo | Horizons | The Remedy | The Humbling River | Autumn A Perfect Circle - Judith | The Outsider | The Hollow | The Doomed Cheers!
I’ve been listening to tool since 91, love watching you discover them. Reminds me of walking around philly late night with my Walkman and hearing all for the first time.
Glad to see you are still heeding the advice and listening to them with headphones. As someone who keep speaking on details, you will miss a lot if you are just listening through PC speakers. I couldn't wait to get home and see another Tool reaction from you. Glad to see you are genuinely enjoying them.
I love how this song turned you into a Tool fan! I've seen this and yes it is an experience. Do yourself a favor, if you drink, don't drink too much. Just one or two beers and witness the experience that is Tool live. Best show I've ever been too. P.s. listen to the Push it Live version. Its totallly different and just as good. Tool - Pushit (live Salival version)
Bro. I was just starting watching your channel yesterday and was going to suggest this song to you. I happy you've found tool shit is flawless. You should check out Maynard's other group's. So good.
Great reaction as always, mine was WOW how can I have lived this long without ever hearing or coming across 'TOOL' your video has prompted me to go check them out and listen to more, thank you, big thumbs up from me
I agree with mudvayne but way better songs than world so cold to start with. I would love to see him react to anything off the first album death blooms is one i think he will really "dig"
@Travis B Nah man tool is there own genre there own sound I love all different kinds of music but for me personally no one can touch them they're all the best at what they do individually when put together it creates something you can't get anywhere else
You already know how much I love your reactions, but your Tool reactions are on another level, bro! Others have already said it, but the version of this song from the Salival DVD will definitely blow your mind. It's a live rendition and they reinvent the song in a beautiful way.
I just love your passion and admiration for Tool's works of art. They are unique in every way. There is a power within their music that can transport you to a world beyond. It digs deep inside your being and makes you feel vulnerable.
Your the best and not fake like all the others. I can tell your being real when you almost tear up during some Tool songs. They can do that. I've seen them live twice. Closest thing to heaven you can get. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely love your TOOL reactions bro, its like your right here hanging out with me and the wife. Really looking forward to your next one. Youre quickly becoming a member of the TOOL Army 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I always dig the reactions KTF. I used to listen to this song on repeat, especially the first year the album was released. I've been a dedicated fan since the mid 90s.
