Tool- Sober !

Tool-Lateralus

Killing In The Name Of

I'm getting in on this. Bullet In the head, killing in the name of....

Fistful of Steel is a great song for him to do

yeeees ! Calm like a bomb ! or Killing in the name of !

I agree, but DO NOT start with "Killing in the Name". It's the song most reactors start with and it's a great song, but not a good representation of the bars they drop on every other song. I'd suggest "Fistfull of steel" or maybe "Guerilla Radio" to check out first.

Yes, the metal is very BIG!!!

@@Bloodbound89 I appreciate how much effort was put into this comment, very well done man

Recommending guilty gear soundtracks to my fellow metalheads.

Metal is massive but it’s also a sub genre of rock. Rock is the base term. So are those sub sub genres?

Seriously took me years to figure out I was singing the wrong words! lol

bro he's a rapper, he knows about music

@@ikr233that has nothing to do with it, many artist arent musically inclinled, they just have one lane and thats all they know, this man is smart haha

@@IsThatHuncho bro it's just hearing lyrics its not hard

@@ikr233 Its not at all, but not all people get what soad’s lyrics mean the first time around haha

Yes!! I was looking through the comentaries for this one, because if no one else said It I would.... Serj can Sing opera!!! He is a great vocalist and I LOVE this band...

I didn't know that, but that honestly does not surprise me at all.

​@@astartea8426Serj is armenian and they are famous for their singing.

@@Eroshenkova obviously, I know that😅😂😅😂😅😂

Have you heard how high his pitch can go? It’s high.

Perhaps "sleep" and "disorder" are paired.

The sacred silence is achievements, wealth ( like watch me. I dont have to explain myself, you see me working fine) so you don't have issues in this capitalistic world. But can you really sleep? Also privacy of the famous ones

What I love about music, is it is art. So you can interpret it so many different ways.

conversation software v 7.0 = god created us in 7 days. is looking to us through the tire hub staying eternaly calm while we spin circles in total disorder. I am not religious person, but this biblical interpretation hit me from the first hearing. and btw god went to sleep after creating us, didn't he? yah

@@AgassiPS Then he ate seeds as activity, like being bored of seing his creation behaving so dull, despite being in a amazing planet. Then it gets hectic, in way, god pointing to us, “ you owe me desorder”, your duty is to live, live life to the fullest. No surprise, in the end the lyrics says : “When I became the sun I shone life into the man's hearts When I became the sun I shone life into the man's hearts” Telling us Humans, his divine creation, that he brought us life, by putting fire in our hearts

I can't wait for the i-e-a-i-a-i-o lyric breakdown

Bounce?

@@mooncalf_4534 Vicinity of Obscenity. Banana Terracotta Pie lyric deep dive, when?

@@chrisjacksonSATX lol that songs about having an orgy. Just one pogo stick tho!

@@mooncalf_4534 knowing Knox he'll get it right off the bat, dude has some crazy knowledge and patern recognition skills

I said the same thing! He would go apeshit over that song!!

Some of their silly lyrics are in fact silly. Serj has drawn influence from the ideas of Dadaism so not every lyric has a deeper meaning, or any meaning at all.

​@@mastod0n1yeah, while VoO has meaning, I doubt the "terracotta pie" part does

⁠@@trickshotsmoviesandcubing2317you might be right and I admittedly don’t know what that term means in this context, but my belief is that is has meaning to the lifestyle he’s describing. Idk I’m not an Armenian living in the US so I give it all the benefit of the doubt that he’s either seriously or comically referring to the topic in hand lol

@@tgreeny I watched a video and he figured out that "terracotta pie" means s butt hole, and banana... You get the picture

RATM, the simplest lyrics ever written

Yeah, I have a feeling Knox will love Killing In The Name, Bulls On Parade and Know Your Enemy

It really is wild listening to these songs growing up and now looking back at them through these reactions from someone with a fresh perspective is....wild. I never knew this song was about ADHD when I was a teen, and now being in my 30's restarting my Adderall script after some years of being off it to try and improve my overall focus... eating my seeds.

This

Yes please! We need this!

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Aerials is one of my favorite songs by SOAD

^^^^THIS

It would be funny to see him react to spiders or sugar lol😂

@@justinbeckstrom4986 sugar would be amazing

@@justinbeckstrom4986 Sugar would be amazing! Deer Dance and Prison Song I think he would have a great reaction to.

I whole heartedly agree.

I love the guy... But how do we know it's a "reaction"? Like I respect his analysis which is why I always come back. But his takes are too nuanced to be organic on the spot.

@@jcon2060 you can listen to song for decades and never really hear the song, we need to believe him, and reaction is still even when you heard it like million times, at different times in your life you can hear there something else every time

​@@jcon2060one thing to note is his delayed reactions to tempo changes, particularly at the start. You can often tell when reactors already know a song as they anticipate the changes

Yes! Been suggesting for weeks! Lateralus or Opiate would be an amazing start!

Tool Tuesdays..let's go

Oh man, start off with Vicarious for an absolute banger entrance into Tool.

@@metalgearbear9748 that's a very straight forward song especially for Tool. The meaning is too obvious, he's better suited doing a more lyrically layered song.

TOOL TOOL TOOL!!!

@@GhostWatcher2024 I think if there was, rap would be an even bigger game. Metal bands have figured out how to add rap flow to their music.

@@GhostWatcher2024 theres a whole sub genre of rap heavily influenced by metal called trap metal. Check out some city morgue they’re the closest to what you’ve described

Conversion, software versión 7.0 (Today music is used to bring ideas to the people softly/to upload people with knowledge without them realizing it [instead of converting people with violence as in the past] to convert them into good people. 7 is the number of God.) Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub. (Like a Rolling Stone-- wandering through life without having the conviction to build upon the stable foundation of Jesús's teachings, life will have a swirling chaotic appearance.) Eating seeds is a pass-time activity. (The many temptations and traps set for us are meant to weed-out weaker peoples' offspring from the population.) The toxicity of our city. (The evil which constantly grows among populations as random genetic mutations create disfunctional people and hedonism corrupts people in times of peace and prosperity. ) More wood for their fires, loud neighbors. (Another metaphor for the slow-motion genocide used to guide population growth. Loud neighbors being bad people, especially those who fight with their own families. Neighbors referring to the fact that we all share this planet.) Flashlight reveries... (Revering/worshipping/paying attention to an artificial light source such as fame, wealth, ideology rather than worshipping The Sun/The Son of God.) ...caught in the headlights of a truck. (A death sentence for those distracted by flashing lights.) You, how do you own the world? (How is it possible to control the population in such a way as to create peace and prosperity, while also protecting the planet and colonizing space?) How do you own disorder? (How can someone convert the population to follow Jesus when people are rebellious and their random genetic mutations cause them to slowly become useless without some type of selective pressure to guide their evolution?) Sacred Silence (Perfect Order. Those who have acheived economic liberation and moral enlightenment become crystalized, as their desire for sex and adventure disappears, and they hide themselves away from the people as to not create jealousy nor spread their crystalization.) Sleep (The darkness of the absolute chaos of nature without any conscious beings.) Now, somewhere between the Sacred Silence and Sleep. (Humanity today--the place between the perfect order of The Illuminated Ones and the Absolute Chaos of Nature. ☯️ The place where the action happens, sex/reproduction, adventure/discovery. The place where new forms of being are born and rise.) Disorder. (The purposeful introduction of Chaos to balance out Humanities natural inclination to Order our world. The balance between Chaos and Order.) When I became The Sun.... (When I achieved the enlightenment and wealth which put me above humanity and made me a true source of illumination for them. When i became a Son of God/an embassador for the growth of the consciousness of The Universe through human evolution.) ...I shone life into the man's hearts. (I illuminated/I converted softly. I showed people how to awaken their spirits so they would create technologies and families and mass movements which grow humanity's glory.)

I was going to say the same thing- been a soad fan for years, and this brought clarity to some lyrics I'd never even thought of before..

Storaged 🤣🤣🤣

Yep, he should so that. 😂

It’s one of my favorites, the first thing I thought when I started watching this is how funny it would be to see that reaction.

Some say, his timing is perfect

agreed

Yes !!

I always assumed it was someone playing in the road at night and getting run over by a truck

One of the reasons I like Tool. I'm nowhere near the biggest tool fan but I just love how many ways you can interpret songs, my favorite example being the song Stinkfist.

i think you nailed it

Is ThAt A jOjO rEfeRenEcE

and Zombie by the Cranberries!

I think he's done that one

Me too am waiting for it frm the time he start metal monday

Absolutely this. I'd say studio too

It's awesome to see how close he gets to one layer of meaning in his outro there. Literally about ADD, Attention Deficit *Disorder* and he hits that right at 13:40, "ADD style"

Knox already did chop suey (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fq7ApfUuGuU.html)

@@thetalantonx yess!! I noticed!!

He already did "Chop Suey!". Although, kinda disappointed, not just you, but most people, only like SOAD for their most popular songs.

@@stingy_jack oooo I missed it!! I'll watch after dinner thank you!!!

THIS. Please!!

In 5 hours!!! I barely snagged one and don't even want to talk about how much I paid for it but will be worth I'm sure!! 🖤🤘

@@brandi6087 I bet you'll have an amazing time.

For regular concerts I usually recommend checking the few days leading up to the show, because often resellers will offer tickets closer to face value (or even less,) but not sure if that would work with a festival this big

When a few of the bands shared this on their IG accounts I was sure it had to be one of those fake "ideal lineup" festival posters lol

@@katstorm13 I was afraid of that too. Only because I know SOAD hasn't toured in a long time, and I didn't think they would again
