HELLO FRIENDS! Welcome to another TOOLday reaction! Today we dive into "The Grudge" Hope you enjoy! Thanks for being here. :) Link to original video: Link to my socials: #TOOL #TheGrudge #lateralus
@EmpReacts I’ve never heard such satisfying growth in my life than listening to TooL develop. Maynard, along with the band, start off gritty and angry, very visceral and raw. To see how they smooth out all the rough edges, and what brought about the change… is littered with integrity. It’s super rewarding. The artistry of these guys is unparalleled
"The longest scream I've ever heard in my life" - and he still does it every time in concert. As much as you love this band now, I promise you will enjoy the way they do this track live even more.
One of my great joys is watching people discovering and enjoying this music as much as We do. In fact it's the reason I came to your channel... I must agree with Richard, if you listen to the entire catalog it's cram jammed full of some of the best music ever made. Keep up the great work! TOOL Tuesday forever!!!
I started laughing when you mentioned the vocals were a cherry on top because I knew maynard was about to hit you with one of the most epic screams in music history. Love seeing someone get to experience tool for the first time.
June 2001, I walk into a FYE music store before my shift at The Cheesecake Factory and they had like 20 or so albums up on the wall with headphones to listen to them before you buy. I see the new Tool album and think the cover art is bizarre yet cool. I toss on the headphones and listen to The Grudge as the album opener. I proceeded to stand there and listen to this whole song thinking it was the best fucking thing I ever heard. Their preceding Aenima album is great but this was just a whole different level of a different kind of awesomeness. I listened to the song 3 times since I couldn’t pause or rewind. I walked in late to my shift because of this song! After I made enough money in tips, I ran over to the store to buy it so it couldn’t sell out. I couldn’t stop listening to it over and over. One of the best songs ever in my humble opinion and I love watching others react to it imagining myself the first time I heard it in that FYE store in 2001. Great reaction!
Every tool fan has been waiting for you to do this song. Countdown to the scream in 3.....2.......1.....#mind blown #h@lycrap! I look forward to this one. Spiral out bro
Best reaction to The Scream ever. Just...pure awe. It's pretty much the same for me, even though I've been listening to them for over 2 decades. Greatest opener of the greatest album ever made. 👍👍
That sir was a 23 second sustained one note scream. I saw them do this live last year and Maynard still managed a 14 seconds one after getting COVID twice!
From Fear Inoculum-Descending-it is my fave Tool song, talk about instrumentals to totally lose yourself in! Also Pneuma is great off that album and 7empest is 16 minutes of pure insanity I know you will love it!
Yes, that was a full un-edited scream in the studio during the Lateralus recordings. He nearly did pass out at the end too. They still are playing this song live on their current tour. Although many fans claim Mjk screams the full length live, its closer to 3/4 - which is still a very long scream! lol
You are missing out on the ALBUM EXPERIENCE. SEGUES, INTERLUDES, BACKWARD MESSAGES, HIDDEN TRACKS, ALBUM ART, INCREDIBLE ENGINEERING. Other than Pink Floyd, no one puts out a concept LP like TOOL! ✌️
Disposition/Reflection/Triad…… must be listen to continuously 🙏🏻 Tool Army would probably get upset if you didn’t 😂🤣😇 It’s was once conceived as 1 song and was later broken down into 3 parts (songs) referred too as the resolution 🌀🌀🌀 “Spiral Out Keep Going” 🌀🌀🌀🌀
@9:58 Maynard says, "Hold my beer." Btw, the music blowing you away right is great. Once the lyrics seep in, it's next level. That's what happened to me at least. 🤘🏼
Have you been listening to the songs you’ve reacted to? A lot of these songs take a couple handfuls of listens to fully get it. Once you catch their rhythms you’ll then be able to pick out the nuances and intricacies. This band is genius. And if you’re into such things, definitely take a listen while your consciousness is in an altered state 🌀
Lol im so excited to see your face for the scream and you paused it! Then your face made it worth the wait! 😂 the scream was them smacking you in the face! There is that moment in every tool song!
I'll join the pile on: Start from Opiate EP and work your way up. You won't regret it my friend. Tool fans will come. You said it best at the end, "Oh hell yeah!"
I saw this and grabbed my headphones because %&@# yeah. WHAT PREMIER is 11 hours from now. Fine! Watch it in the morning. This is part of the TOOL peak. 30 yr fan, favorite song of musician world wide. 🌀 👁🗨 See you in the morning
Yeah...we knew you would pause again at the 26 sec scream...its notorious. You might like The Holy Trinity next. Disposition/Reflection/Triad all together off Latetalus. As long as youre talking about instrumentals...that is. Edit: Invincible off FI is good...7empest....Descending...theyre all good. But you did already do Pneuma which is off FI.
If you’re looking for just the instrumentals, look up The Witness. Adam Jones did a special song for a new Gibson and both Danny Carry and Justin Chancellor are on the track. It’s essentially Tool just without Maynard. The song has such a great vibe
My mom remembers everything about the day JFK was assassinated. What she was wearing, where she was, and the emotions she felt. Like her, I recall exactly where I was, what I was wearing, and what I was thinking when I first heard Tool. It’s the latter I would like to focus on--my buddy put on “Forty Six & 2”. I remember thinking “Holy fuck! Who are these guys? They’re not singing about the usual dumb, played out shit that everyone else drones on about in idiotic uniformity! I finally found musical brilliance I can relate to!” However, along with that, I felt disheartened. I felt that way because I quickly realized that I would/will never be as good at anything the way Tool is at their craft. Jordan to basketball. Gretzky to hockey. Garry Kasparov to chess...Tool to rock music.
Go ahead and let it out! Let go! Fun to see how Maynard works himself up before he does this scream live.☺️ Pneuma or Tempest from Fear Innoculum. I'm enjoying watching you on your Tool journey. I look forward to Tooldays too!
EMP, you " MUST DO " Bottom from undertow, where it all began back in 1993,.. you have to crawl before you walk.....tool army est.1993....tool army est.1993...........tool army est.1993.....
Now you need to do the most creative and crazy Tool song. Lost Keys/ Rosetta Stoned. Alien abduction!! Gotta have the lyrics because Maynard goes crazy!
