Old Composer REACTS to TOOL 3rd EYE | Composer Rewind and Review 

I would like to highlight a couple of things you're doing here. - You're a very experienced professional that is sharing a lot of knowledge through an open channel - The only money you're asking is to help children at hospitals - You are always in a good mood and listen to the comments (which is good for everyone, imho) - You understand a lot on a music style that is extremely hard to perform and compose The world needs more people with this spirit. Just share knowledge you have for a honorable cause. Donate yourself or part of your life to those who have so little or that just need a bump to feel better for the next day. Keep it up man, you're a good guy

Still waiting for the 45 minute video that will be birthed from Wings For Marie/10,000 Days. Who's with me?lol

The guy talking is Bill Hicks, one of the best comedians to ever live.

The most Toolest Tool song.

This song "breathes" the way a mushroom trip does, comes on in waves and it "peaks" into psychedelic chaotic craziness. Love it!

It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom.

“Heroic dose” lol this guys knows what’s up

I would love to see your reaction to Parabol/Parabola.

Bill Hicks, the gentleman at the intro, was a comedian in the late 80's early 90's. Controversial and deemed one of the best ever. Maynard and he were good friends (the whole band really), so this is a tribute to him after he passed from lung cancer early in his life (30's?). Very influential person as far as mind opening and truth speaking. Third eye opening and psychoactive drugs were kinda his forte. Along with political slamming and just generally getting people to wake up.

Bill Hicks. A comedian Maynard really loved and connected with. He truly looked up to him and wanted him to open up for Tool on tour. It never fully happened the way Maynard wanted to. Bill wasn't sure about the idea. When he passed, Maynard made sure Ænima, the album, was in his honor. It's in the booklet.

As someone who watches most Tool reaction videos, I gotta say you've become my favorite now. You have more knowledge to share than others. More experience. I appreciate sharing that with us. And thank you to all the Tool Army who we all see in the comments of all reaction videos from all channels. We sure know how to spam reactors with Tool. And it never disappoints! They always love it. 😁

Check out "The Grudge" for a majestic mountain of sound and a divine message from these brilliant musicians!

"You thought that I had run away, chasing the tail of a dogma" - that line gives me chills every time

Your vids have a style more similar to Rick Beato’s series “What makes this song great” rather than the fad reaction videos. Good stuff!

One of the things I love the most about watching your reactions, is that I can visibly see you 'catch' the intricacies in their playing, simply by your facial expressions. Perfect example is right after you said there is no hook or riff to catch on, you caught it, and I could see that you suddenly realized it's has "been there all along" (ok ok... You don't listen to lyrics, so you may not get that quote)😂

During the Aenima tour, they opened with Third Eye. Their set list was genius!

I wish this dude was my uncle so we could get high and break down music together. Get simultaneous chills and high five.

Couldn't have chosen a better song to kick off the new year. Cheers.

One of the greatest songs ever! When this came out in like '95 it blew my young mind, and still does.

My brother has a Master's Degree in Music Theory, and his thesis was an analysis of this song.

What a way to start the year!! Third Eye has always struck me as less a "song" and more the attempt to convey an experience sonically. Its design is so ambient and evolving and non traditional. Its really a journey of thought and emotion versus structure. This piece takes a number of listens to really begin conceptualizing the whole form and interconnections, and I've found that my relation to it changes drastically depending on whats going on in my life. Sometimes it drives me away, sometimes it pulls me in. Really amazing work of art.

Tool: The Grudge, Disposition/Reflection/Triad Gojira: Flying Whales

that intro by Bill Hicks is amazing...and then when the drums kick in...goose bumps!!!

1:59 the light shimmers on your third eye...

You need to listen to: A Perfect Circle - Magdalena (this song doesn’t get the love it should) Puscifer - Momma Sed Then jump down the Deftones band spiral with Passenger as the starting point. 👍

This is a heavy listen. Not "metal" heavy, but "mental" heavy 😃

Mental note: I'm overdue for an experience...

Now as the comments unfold, you will find that you’ve opened a new door into the legend that is Bill Hicks.

“Chasing the tail of dogma.” Such a good line

I'd like to see you do Somewhat Damaged by Nine Inch Nails. Actually, most anything off of The Fragile.

You gotta do Invincible and Descending from Tool. It's them at their most mature, the peak of their talent musically, and the production from the studio amazing.

The frequencies and effects used by Tool are a big part of why I love them, they use them well to create a great physical effect. Also the bass, filthy levels of deep rich bass with slides better than a waterpark.

Btw, I don't know about everyone but I don't mind you stopping as much as you have up until now. It's very informative at times!

I don’t think you should listen to the songs in advance - prefer the genuine reaction even if it’s less detailed...looking forward to Wings for Marie 1&2...

Really like the way the "Intermission" track flows into the song "Jimmy"; you may want to play those together for the transition. Happy New Year from Australia, keep up your good works!

Imagine what an awesome thing it must be to discover Tool once the library is published. Being OGT is like watching a TV show with commercial breaks that last between five and thirteen years. Nowadays you can just binge it all, Netflix style.

Dude!! That “popping” from Maynard you spoke of? I don’t know how he does/did it in the studio. But the first time I seen em in 96 right after Ænima came out they opened with this song. I was close enough to see that time anyways Maynard was “Popping” or “Cupping” his mouth with his hand. Kinda think old western Cherokee Indians doin their call or whatever it was they did.

Listen to Flying whales by gojira, or the art of dying by gojira

Tripped balls to this album when I was young. I'll never forget.

OH SHIT we're opening our 3rd eyes for 2021 :D

Bill Hicks .... will form part of my children's education (when they're old enough ;) )

Drinking coffee, just uploaded... what a way to bring in the new year! Hope it treats you well sir.

Geebz, you're an incredibly proficient RU-vidr, you're doing a great job already, and the depth of conversation that you're bringing to the field of music is something that we really don't see much. So often, people who create reaction videos or even analysis videos will focus much more on the surface, and rely on researching things about the music rather than really listening to the tracks and feeling them / getting lost in them while simultaneously breaking them down. That's what you do, and it's really clear to me that it's something special. As a fan of Tool's music, also, I have to say that it's refreshing to hear someone with an overall neutral take on their music really trying to understand what makes it creative and interesting. It's helped me appreciate their music better (and the music of other bands I've seen you do), and has already taught me a lot about both how I can more deeply listen to music, and about music theory in general. Thank you for being an inspiration, keep up the great work.

Might as well just do Tools whole discography... You won’t regret it and we won’t complain 😁😁😁

I would give anything to go back to my 19 year old self so I could hear this song again for the first time. Of all the Tool reactors on youtube you definitely provide the most thoughtful analyses.

ohhh wow.. thank for this and lateralus' analysing i'm seeing tool in a different light now so hypnotic

46 year old regular dude that just so happens to be a Tool fanatic since ‘92. Last decade or so it’s almost a closet thing, lol. Kids, career, no longer athlete I used to be, etc. My close friends know the effect Tool has on me. 2008 concert in Richmond, VA and I’m into it, doing my thing... look up and the 6 other guys I came with had given me 4 seats worth of room and were applauding and giving me my Tool. That said now I enjoy my evening with a drink and l always find myself searching Tool. You my friend have hit EVERY thing that I’ve been looking for in a Tool reaction I’ve been looking for. I have my own ideas and thoughts etc. and your perspective shines SO much light. My parents put a baseball bat In my hand when I was a baby and not a guitar. Last 10 years wish was other way. Obviously You get it and you help lead me to “getting it” fully. Appreciate you and doing this. Keep em coming my man.

The repetition will put you into a “meditative wobble”. Very common driving pattern of Tool songs, purposeful. Ever get into that involuntary wobble as the energy oscillates through you when meditating? Tool puts me right there.

The live version of this is just something else.

This song (and record) terrified me when I was 12, and I loved it so much. There's such an ominous and suffocating vibe throughout the entire record because of how they played with mono and stereo. Great review!

I used to listen to this song in my closet in the dark when I was 14 in 1998. One of my favorite songs ever. I love your channel bc you do a lot of deep cut tracks that I would never expect anyone to really get into. You’re awesome man, thanks for the videos.

I notice you havent done any of their "new" songs yet (other than the drum cam video).....I recommend Descending. Is has a little of everything TOOL is good at. Parabol and Parabola (2 songs but MUST to be played back to back) is in the same vain

This song is brutally angelic. It's an open wound of a song. Transcendent in a paradoxical way, it's like a reverse baptism

This is the reaction we all wanted to see

I'm not even through the commercial we have to watch first and I just wanna say thank you. This is maybe my favorite TOOL song and I think it's their masterpiece.

"INVINCIBLE' from Tool's latest album is an amazing piece you might try soon.

The "Salival live" version of this song is, IMO even better than the album track, a near perfect live performance. IDK if you have done it yet, but a great Tool song for you to react to would be their cover of No Quarter by Zepplin, another one from Salival, Tool push that song to the limits in such a perfect way, I get chills still every time I hear it.

Do “the grudge”

Love the channel! Thanks a ton for the great entertainment. Wishing the best to you and your loved ones for 2021. Cheers!

Been waiting for this Geebz! Keep up the good work!

Seeing them live is a visceral experience.

As much as I love the albums after aenima, they changed music with this album. No one has ever duplicated the music on this album. The Downward spiral by NIN is the same way. They are one of a kind.

I was so excited to see this one. I’ve been waiting for this reaction and I was not disappointed! Happy 2021 indeed

7:51 Fear Inoculum, in its entirety, described perfectly.

Happy New Year Ol' De-Composer !!! And to everyone else as well 20ToolArmy21

Loving your videos! Did discover today this series, probably going to watch it all!!! You are amazing!

I got to re experience the goosebumps when I first heard this song from this video. Thank you for that! And Happy New Year!

Another great reaction! Happy new year! This brings me back to nye 1999 when I first got into Tool, still learning about their music thanks to people like yourself 🤘

Happy New Year to you. Thank You for your thoughts and expertise on our favourite band. The #ToolArmy really appreciate it

They have a live version of this song off of their box set called Salival. You should check that out. Also the grudge off of lateralus. Amazing song

Im so damn excited you did this song. I've shared you with so many friends. Thank you for being so awesome and bringing such information in a relatable manner. Happy New Years!

Geebz, love these videos. The analysis is great and your positive energy just shines through. Glad you're enjoying yourself, I feel like I get a nice dose of Hawaii vicariously here. Also, love the dinosaurs.

Dude, I'm starting to check everyday now for a new TOOL react video from you. Been listening to tool my entire life and these are a great way to see them from a different light. Thank you for taking the time to do these. I will continue this journey with you. Can't wait until you get into some more of my favorites. Happy New Year!

I look forward to your break downs of future TOOL songs. Nice to see someone take a new approach to TOOL!!

Love your channel man! Truly great content!

Thank you for blessing my YT feed this morning with this reaction of Third Eye. Perfect song to start 2021. I’d love to see your reaction to The Grudge as well!

You are awesome man. I'm pretty particular when it comes to reaction videos but you are super insightful and its clear you have a deep respect for the artists you react to even if they aren't necessarily in your particular wheelhouse. Keep it up and I'll keep watching brother.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do “right in two” I’m sure many have said to you about this song. Add me to that list. And pretty much every TOOL song. Thanks my man!!! Love love your take on TOOL

My man, thank you for your interpretations of these great pieces. Really enjoying your channel!

Really glad I found this channel! I enjoy your takes on the technical side of things. Most reaction channels focus mainly on the lyrics and/or the vocals so it's nice to see someone focus on the entire piece as one entity.

I'd like a reaction of Siamese Dream, often regarded amongst the best produced records, not the hit songs but the more progressive ones like Geek USA, Hummer or Soma.

I’m excited to see the new “second listen” breakdown , sounds like a good idea !

Love your videos man. Can't stop watching! I'm a musician myself but you've added so much insight to songs I've listened to for years and it just makes me love them even more.

I whole heatedly appreciate and enjoy your videos. I'm really not into 'reaction' vids, but yours come with knowledge and amazing insight and actually sort of help me to experience these songs again for the first time with different eyes and ears and for a Tool fan, there is no greater gift. May your new year be prosperous.

You should watch a upload of Danny talking about all the effects he adds to his drum kit control panel broken glass just tons of compressed sound effects.

Love it love it l love it!!!!!! Check out some Deftones! Digital Bath would be a good track to start on!

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this one!😍

I love your work man, thanks for putting it out there.

This one gets better over time. I used to skip it...silly boy

Man what a tune to start 2021 on lol! Going in blind too...bold.

Man you are a musical genius, and i cant thank you enough for doing this! also i just found you about 7 hours ago and i cant watch enough. God bless you Geebz!

Annnnnd per usual another great video! Great way to kick off 2021. It’s already 100x’s better than 2020! ✌🏻🤙🏻

Happy New Year. Really anything from Aenima is likely to blow you away, they really peaked on that album and 3rd eye is no exception. Would love to see you branch out into some of the newer prog that's going places few bands/reviewers are exploring. My suggestion, Frost's "Dividing Line" is a modern day masterpiece that I've not seen any reactor's touch on yet and that's a shame.

This is the one I've been waiting for

Thanks for this, great start to the the year! Hope it's a radder 1 than the last 1 for you. Love tool, love this channel ✌

Yes, a great way to start off 2021. Happy New Year 🎊

It's so easy to start listening to TOOL and get stuck listening to all their albums for days...I love TOOL and I really enjoy your review videos...keep rockin' on Old Composer!!🤘

Maybe do an initial reaction like normal, then edit onto the end your thoughts after sitting on it for a bit.

Best wishes for 2021. Great reactions , Keep them coming. Greeting from Barcelona. =)

You have a great energy about you, and your positive attitude makes these reactions of yours all the more enjoyable to watch, specifically your TOOL reactions.
