The first "real" concert I ever attended was Tool at the Saltair palace in Salt Lake City, UT back in 1994. They connected to my then 19 year old soul in a way that's difficult to express. No matter how many years go by, I'll always have a special place for Tool in my ❤
Adam Jones, the guitarist, makes the film clips. He used to work as an effects artist on movies including Jurassic Park and Terminator. Left that job to start Tool, which people in his life initially criticised him for doing.
The singer Maynard is in two other bands also. One of them is called 'A Perfect Circle'. Their song 'Judith' is also a great song to react to. I think many will agree.
@@ysinvangulik1004 Puscifer are very different. He sings with a female singer called Carina Round.Their songs are very clever and good. I recommend listening to Humbling River, which is and older track, or listen to The underwhelming, or Bullet train to iowa from the new album. Also, the Arsonist and the Remedy are bangers from their album before last. They are amazing live and have a very cool gimmick involving aliens and abduction etc etc. Agent Dick Merkin maynards calls himself in newer Puscifer. 100% should give them a listen and let me know what you think. May take a while for your ears to get what they're doing like.
Yeah but it would be better if he reacted to the studio version first imo. He needs to listen to the music first before he gets his mind blown by Danny's drumming.
“You can really feel everything in this one.” The perfect description of Tool’s music. Also all good music isn’t just about listening, it’s feeling it.
Early Tool is heavy and raw, and it gets more and more refined as the albums progress. Keep spiraling, there is not one single bad song in their whole discography. 🤘
This is IMO, best TOOL album ever, this is like the line that separates 2 different pahses of Tool, the Opiate and the Undertow albums from the albums that came after Aenima but is just more than just a divisory line, in this album you can hear the essence of the first 2 albums but improved with way more complex Polyrhythms, that in my opinion, laid the path for the upcoming albums after Aenima, so this album was key for tool to continue down the road they set up for today's Tool to happen, so they were just getting better and better with time, evolving in difficulty and mastering complexity at a level where composing near-to-impossible songs to be replicated is a task you hear accomplished in each of their songs, but that's my thought about AEnima album where this song is housed, congrats on reacting to AEnima album, very excited about it.
The difference between pre and post Aenima is the bassist. Tool's original bassist was a guitarist, not a bassist, so he quit after Undertow. For Aenima, they got Justin Chancellor in from Peach, who supported them on the Undertow tour in Europe. Pre Aenima, the bass pretty much just followed the guitar. Post Aenima, the bass took the lead allowing Adam Jones to do more interesting things n the guitar.
@@MosquitoCreative Yes, right on point, I didn't mention that but that was my point the difference between tool's phases before and after, thanks man, yours is a great comment.
7empist is a 3 min song that is actually 15 min long with the fastest 7 min guitar solo ever! Guarentee you will listen to it a couple more times at least, after reacting to it.
Your Tool and Metallica journeys are coming along nicely and you've started with Pantera, but if I could suggest another band to start delving into I would say Megadeth. "Holy Wars....The Punishment Due" and "Hangar 18" are both badass and would be a great jumping off point for them. BTW, did you get your Tool tickets yet? You don't wanna miss them! 🤘🤘
Creo que la música, el talento...todo lo que representa Tool en sí mismo escapa a la lógica y la razón....es tan inmensamente inabarcable!!! El metrónomo se vuelve loco con esta banda, no hay forma de comprender qué ocurre....sólo que la música y la atmósfera que crea Tool te invade, te posee y se mete en tus venas como un tatuaje que JAMÁS podrás (ni querrás) eliminar. GRACIAS por perpetuar su gloria!!! GRACIAS TOOL por existir!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I prefer no video, just put on headphones, close eyes, and rock out and take the ride/journey. I like to listen for the small details they add to a song to make it even greater.
MJK remarked somewhere a long time ago that there was a point where he realised they could really get sucked into that rock star life if they wanted to, & how he knew he needed to change that. They’ve had / have fun recreationally, but they’re so good at the age they are now bc they never went too far. I think metaphorically, MJK is saying how far are you going to go with wealth/fame/boredom/privilege - it won’t ever end going that route, bc it’s never enough.
Listen to TOOL UNDERTOW Album the studio version is a must hear ! The entire album is a MASTERPIECE ! The sound production for this particular album done by Sylvia Massy is the best that I have ever heard. Paul D^Amour played a Rickenbacker 4001CS bass guitar it is a Chris Squire signature Bass guitar it has an aggressive picked tone with a thick sound. Unfortunately this was the last Album that Paul played on with TOOL.
I can appreciate that they are amazing musicians and later on the use that for artsy fartsy slower jams, but like you the Tool for me is the hard shit like this. Since Undertow when I started listening to them.
Maynard's brilliance is unmatched. For him to have turned an*l f!sting into a masterfully composed allegory for spiritual awakening is nothing short of art.
If you want to do a Tool live performance, please start with Sober at the Reading Festival. The live Danny Carey drum cam video of Pneuma is also great, but I would strongly suggest listening to the studio version of that song first.
This was the 1st single after Undertow….it had been a few years & anticipation was def getting up there & man….they delivered 🤤they delivered big time 🖤🤘🏻
At live shows, he accomplishes the vocal effect by singing into the handheld mic portion of a megaphone. I saw them live back in 2007 and it is a show I will never forget.
If you love this song, here is the video I took in October 2023 in Tacoma, WA USA of them doing this live. Plus the post concert waving and “goodbyes”. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-enuHhfGvzcQ.htmlsi=kj2BX_DJgzaVeult
Before you check out the live performance of Danny Carey drum cam of “Pneuma” please react to “pneuma” studio version first so that you can appreciate the musicianship of the song, then once you’ve heard that you will truly marvel and appreciate the mastery of Danny and his craft.
Best live preformance in my ears is sober. Not sure which gig but prob easy to find. Never mind goodebumps you might get spikes instead. When you hear the emotions in his voice it brings more clarity.
i will eternally be grateful to MTV, given they introduced me to TOOL by playing this song in 1996. (and that is how they became my favourite band ever.... and by far)
Just saw this... Tool have become a top 5 all time band, imo, yes i have a bit of knowledge when it comes to music, but Tool are not music, they are artists,...like Van Gogh, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Banksy. Tool have a great collection of songs, all of them with meaning, some kind of happy, but some dark and disturbing,... Great reaction MollyBoy, ( not a big Slipknot fan, they're alright, just not for me, thats why im here lol.)
Yeah, boy...I love Tool's more "conventional" rock/metal songs... which are not very conventional, BUT they're just great bangers that you don't need a chart to follow... "Sober" next!!!😁great react as always!
The song is about exactly what you thought it was about. :) Yes, you need to see the Danny Carey drum cam version of Pneuma. You'll see exactly why the man is the GOAT.
Look into A perfect circle, it’s one of the lead singers bands. Yes I said bands. Also Pusifer is good but different. Nine inch nails has some bangers to listen to. Enjoy your reaction content. Keep up the vids!
A ver si alguien me puede aclarar esto: he escuchado innumerables veces que en muchas canciones de Tool hay mensajes subliminales, ocultos, o algo así....Yo no soy música, pero los sigo desde 1993 y estoy totalmente poseída de ellos. Me podría alguien explicar cómo se podrían detectar esos mensajes / pistas ocultas? Muchas gracias!!!! Desde Granada (España), GRACIAS y BENDICIONES a la legión de TOOL!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Save the music videos for much later when you’re very familiar with the song and then when you watch the video it will add another dimension to the experience. Or Possibly after you’ve reacted to all of their songs you could then go and react specifically to the music videos.
