Too many rock stars end up dead or washed up. I'm thankful these men had enough maturity and humility to stay creatively active. I could see TOOL albums lasting longer than Mozart's work. That's how much respect they deserve because the music on the last 3 albums has been timeless, layered and intelligent to the point that its simply on a higher plane than most music out there. They're the Monet of Metal!
!! I’m just a massive fan ,👁🌀👁and have been a fan for 30yrs. And then they make the best for last👁🌀👁Fear Inoculum is in MY opinion a point of no return ever, can they come down to earth . The rest of the crap comes out and I’m just numb and in wonder of what the hell was that, musing around was the rush of the production you feeling the synncrynized best That is a perfect analogy for TOOL👁 When you are in your bedroom and thinking of the way it is expressed to you and, so blessed to be inoculated by your favorite Music , and is the way to get to the masses Getting all and more than ever before the new Tool Fans are very much more fun to get riled up about it because the people who are willing to question their own authority climb the ladder to greater heights . the best people I’ve seen in a band and know that they have a like Minded motitives , And endeavors that usually have no relationship with the other parts that go intolerable fans are will always be questioned , but in a nutshell they are completely, and Alone shit are you gonna approach it with caution or a lot of emotions and experience the connection to the company that you keep is important too and then A section of brain that is connected to it and practically anyone with the same common sense of what the goal is for the Band and then long term is it going to be a closer looking forward? they are completely spontaneous and they are killing it with the shows they have no competition for show and sound and that alone makes the LEGENDARY PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHANGED THEIR OWN WORLDS, .and ours is in the ride they give us. I’m not gonna cry ,👁🌀👁maybe , BLESS THIS IMMUNITY AND THE TOOL COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME WITH KILLING IT ALL ,and opening up my Own third Eye THE WAY .
Well said...who can argue with any of that?.....not me, I'm trying to achieve the same thing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bCnocG3ZzoQ.html
This was really cool. Around the time when Undertow came out I wrote a letter with a picture I drew of them on stage asking why they're were no lyrics in the cd pages. Obviously I loved the music. I really like jamming to music with the words. For me it helps me to understand some of the meaning of the tunes which kind of links it together. TOOL sent me a package with four sheets of lyrics,, a demo cassette and a order form to get some stuff they were selling. I ended up with three other news letters from them about the band and reading material suggested by Maynard. Well.. I sent my 12 bucks in for the TOOL logo shirt and still have everything they sent me. That was the coolest thing ever. I've seen them twice in Michigan. The BEST shows I've ever seen! Thanks for putting this on YT. \,,\

Couldn’t even imagine a world where these 4 guys didn’t make this magical music together ! And yes Adam, you are in a band with one of the best drummers in the world without a doubt.
Danny Carey might just be the best drummer in the world. It's debatable, what is NOT debatable is that he's definitely up there and anyone who knows what they're talking about will at least mention his name if that subject is ever introduced. He's definitely my favorite drummer probably of all time. Brann Dailor is pretty good too, in fact he and Danny Carey did some promotional drum duet thing and it's amazing.
TOOL doesn't just create music, they create sonic artwork. Their collection of music is a masterpiece, every bit as important and significant as Beethoven's greatest compositions
Happy you had such an awesome 22nd B-day! Got to meet Tori Amos for my 15th . Ah, memorable days....... ;) Didn't catch Tool till I was 16- Lollapalooza 97' was great! Krazy-fun!!!!!
This documentary is THE best I've seen of TOOL. Great job sir. I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for such a in depth trip down the rabbit hole and history of one of my favorite bands. TOOL=LIFE 🤘🤘
ArtMind is an Alex Grey documentary but besides that doc this really is the only lengthy vid pertaining to Tool......oh, I think he's in a TED talk....enjoy
When you joke about being a genius as if it's an absurd thought , but you really are a genius. Some of the most talented people never realize how talented they really are .
I used to think this rare dynamic between bandmates was something intangible, almost a magical thing. I've started to notice over the years that these bands that just seem to have this organic sound have strong bonds. Not just casual friends, they share a philosophy and a brotherhood. The kind of people you bond with for life and change you as a person. This is an amplifier in the group creative process.
Fear Inoculum is the perfect album to me. It has seriously been a gift to have these guys around during the time I have been alive and get to see them play.
A moment of appreciation for Paul D'Amour, David Bottrill and Sylvia Massey, thank you for highlighting the talented characters who were just as important to their legendary journey. Really appreciative of this docu 🙏🏼 as we say here in Southeast Asia, terima kasih!
Yeah thanks to everyone who helped make each legendary recording...well nobody helped me make this..but it's legend nonthe less ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bCnocG3ZzoQ.html
Tool. I remember my dad playing tool in his car all the time, I only remember now as an early fan because the sounds and colours I hear in the songs are the same I heard as a kid, it makes me smile and gives me goosebumps hearing these sounds and this music, very peaceful for the mind.
Goddamn Maynard said it so right. This isn't about jumping up and down. The majority of our crowd are artists they connect with the music and respect it.
I will forever remember the first time I heard TOOL. I remember falling in love with them immediately. I had the privilege of seeing them play at Lalapalooza. I think it was in 95 or 96. Korn tool orbital snoop it was amazing to see them live.
Yep, def ‘97. My first time too. The lead singer of Korn developed meningitis and couldn’t play on our stop. Liked tool, then LOVED tool when I saw them live.
Thanks for putting this together. My dad introduced me to Tool, among others, when I was a child. Turned 30 last year and Tool is still at the top in my head
Tool was one of the first bands that changed me from whatever I listed to as a young kid to what I still listen to these days. I was 9 years old and my dad had just borrowed the new Lateralus CD from his coworker and hearing Schism for the first time blew my mind. Didn't know you were even allowed to make music like that.
Schism was where it started for me too. Seeing the music video on the only music show that was aired in my country when i was 10. I tuned on every day just to see and hear it again.
Really do appreciate the time and effort to build this piece with such synergy in stitching everything together. Raise required for chilebootleg. Real homage to Tool. Thank you
Thank you so much for your work and efforts. TOOL tops my list as one of the greatest bands and musical influences of all-times ..... And watching your documentary brought plenty of smiles and high end energy to my thoughts and thinking ...... Thank you so much.
One of my most favorite bands and to see live - including the Orpheum in Minneapolis . But also got me through ending my opioid addiction. Their music loud with headphones got me through my deepest withdrawals. Three years clean and still playing them heavily.
Lol that's how I was when Sober came out. Listened to it on repeat. Got away from that album and was into Pearl Jam for years. I remember hearing Schism on the radio and was like eh doesn't do it for me. About a year later I was driving with my ex at night and switched the station and Schism was on during that slow interlude. Glad I didn't change it because I was blown away after that and went home thinking about it and went to get the album the next day. Almost 20 years ago and I still listen to songs from that album once every 2 weeks. I love listening to it with head phones in the dark. I love all their music as well.
I've had 11 different girlfriends and two dogs since some dude drove by me at McDonalds drive-thru on Main St Newark DE (UD) playing Prison Sex and I stopped to ask him wtf he was listening to This band took me through college, my Advertising career in NY, and finally, my Boilermaker apprenticeship, which is now over, and I'm Journeyman.... I've seen this band 38 times, most between '90 and '94, all over the country This band literally changed my life
I didn't think id sit here and watch the full 41 minutes of this documentary (who am I kidding of course I would) but as a huge TOOL fan I was immediately sucked in. From start to finish I was completely attentive in my old Dolby surround sound speakers listening to the guys talk about this that and the other, hearing the songs I've listened to for years in the background, it just took me over for a while and I needed that, just like I needed this band to appear in my life. An absolute beautiful job making this video, and I thank you for it.
That's what I've always appreciated about Tool. They've survived all the trends since the 1990s (grunge, thrash metal, rap metal, etc. and did their own thing. And continue to take it to the next level each time.
First and foremost- Tool is such an incredible band. Been jamming to them since I was a youngin'. Bummed they got stormed out at Epicenter in '19. Secondly- As soon as they mentioned chocolate chip cookies I just jaw dropped. 😂 I just listened and tripped on shrooms to Chocolate Chip Trip last night and it was an ~*experience*~. Thirdly- Really love the little shout-out to Rush and Neil Peart. Rush is one of my favorite bands of all time and I can definitely see how it's possible Tool was inspired by them. This was a really well done doc. Glad I watched. ☺️
As OGT from 99 I extend my most humble gratitudes to you my dude... Thank you for creating what we all have been waiting for. A legit TooL Documentary.
Inb4 this blows up with millions of views. I’m so grateful for this band, their art and the ability to hold such sacred space for experiential exploitation. I’ve had some amazing internal moments with headphones on and Tool talking to my soul.
This band has brought so much joy into the world. Beautiful masterpieces that defy explanation 😌 Thank you so much for this doc. Its helping my concert withdrawal.
I am so thankful to be alive during this time. Tool has literally changed my life, i know its cliche but the love of music it has made me appreciate is something that no other music can give me.
They just changed my life, will never forget this 1st October 1993 when saw them live for the fist time. Didn't know who they were, they opened for Fishbone, it was love at first sight, I totally changed my way of listening to music since this day. I must admit I cried when I saw them again, because of this emotion still the same than when I was 23. Thank you for this video
First time seeing Tool was in 2001. Lateralus tour. My god that was something special. Saw then 2 more times the following summer. Incredible. I cried during the Fear Inoculum show however. I hadn't seen them since 2006 and my emotions took over. I was all feels that night. So beautiful. I feel you man 😌
Man I saw Fishbone in a little bar in South Mississippi and nobody knew who they were but about 20 of us. At the time I had Opiate and the first time I was able to catch tool was on their first Lollapalooza tour and they were incredible. Rage played before them if I remember right and that day was incredible. I saw 3 Lollapalooza tours in New Orleans and that year had ...Primus, Alice in Chains, Dinosaur Jr., Fishbone, Arrested Development, Front 242, Babes in Toyland, Tool, Rage Against The Machine.... and costarring LSD in the crowd.
Maynard tapping into things to be adressed (4:50) and Adams tapping into the unconscious of the listener by reducing to the primal (26:00) plus Danny phrasing it in 4 interlocking polyrhythms (39:20) is quite the essence of Tool to me. Georgeous work. Thank you!
A fantastic amalgam of footage from concerts, archives, interviews, and such. Thanks for keeping the TOOL people fed, since the band only does it once per decade or so!
Undertow is still to this day one of my favorite pieces of music ever recorded. Gave me a love for "chunky bass lines". I remember buying the tape when it came out in 7th grade or early 93. Tool is one of my favorites, Undertow is their best in my opinion.
Hard to believe we played with Tool at a club" right in the beginning we knew they were the Shit...(: "Mysteria" was the name of our band. They said we killed it and i think we had a 2 to 1 ratio of the audience...(: Was so awsome to see them grow in a very tough industry no matter how good you are..!
Thank you for the video. It was really cool, and interesting. Embarrassingly, at the ripe age of 55, I have just recently started to listen to Tool’s music. I was aware of them, but never really took the plunge so to speak. Funny enough, it was due to RU-vid’s algorithm that somehow decided that I should watch a “School of Rock” student’s video of them covering Lateralus. I was blown away by the music’s artistry, and floored by the complex time changes. So, I thought to myself, if these kids (14 to 18yrs old) could play this, and make it sound so good, I have to listen to the actual artist. Fortunately for me, Tool decided to open up their complete library to streaming services, and I immediately began downloading every album from Apple Music. So, yes, I’m incredibly late to the party, but better late than never. I’m still listening through their albums. Once I start getting into new music (at least for me), I end up playing each album countless times before moving on to the next. It’s a process. Lol. Anyway, thanks again for the video, and thank you Tool for your incredible work.
Thanks for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I became a Tool fan in 1992 at the age of 13 in the Canadian city of Windsor Ontario watching much music. I’ve seen them 8 times. Tool is my 19 year old sons’ favorite band. Brought him to 3 shows so far. I went to 3 Tool shows by myself. Not many bands can influence musicians from every instrument. Rush, Dream Theater and TooL are all bands that do this. All three of those bands are real musicians and their music will influence more musicians through the future centuries than any other genres musically. Just my opinion, but I’m sure I’m not the only person that thinks this. Cheers
Really appreciate this doc - so many leave me wanting more actual engagement and subject matter that’s interesting and weaves the story of these incredible artists. Thank you for creating this!! Very well done!!
Here’s a story that I must tell. It was the summer of 92. I lived in NYC, graduated art school, it was July in NYC and Fuckin hot! After mountain biking in Central Park with friends , another story, We party and head to CBGBs for the Rollins Band! My favorite band. Opening act has a drum set with a double floor bass. Singer comes out in cut off sweat pants , no shirt and drops a yell/scream and the band than goes to crush The Opiate album. It was 1992 in NYC, Rollins took them on tour. We stood speechless, Tool owned the crowd and we still had Rollins! Rollins was coming off the loss of his roommate. He was held up in Venice CA, gun to their heads. His room mate didn’t make it. To say CBGBs had a show that showed the world , “They will be heard.!” These bands should be in the history of CBGBs and a night in NYC that is legendary. This is a few months to a year that Lollapalooza, Woodstock will make them legends. For me, this night will become one of my top 5 in over 30 years of rock and I partied with Janes Addiction in Brooklyn in 89. True great moment in music history for two bands that rocked arenas and festivals and inspired millions
I one worked on a farm which had John Deer teleporter equipped with a CD player and one summer it’s eject button got jammed so to this day every farm worker has to listen to 10,000 days perpetually muhahaha!!!
Danny Cary hands down is the best drummer on the planet. I think he’s an Alien possibly from another planet or solar system.One thing is for certain he’s a drum percussionist God!
Been playing drums since I was 15 I'm 38 now and I still can't play every Tool song. The best music I've ever heard hands down , nothing even comes remotely close
Really well done documentary. It definitely captured the soul of the band. I’ve had the great fortune of seeing Tool live 3 times, all in different eras. Their shows are absolutely legendary. I hope there will be many more. Albums as well. One of my all time favorite bands, without a doubt.
Whoever made this.. fucking thank you. Seem all these interviews but together it's easier to understand the band from start to finish. Thank you dearly
There are many groups I really love- Rage, Chili Peppers, Wu Tang- but TOOL is the only band i worship at the alter of. I’ve been able to continue growing with them and experiencing their art with new eyes & ears as I gain life experience. For me, they inherited the mantle of Pink Floyd; a singular sound from fantastically talented, uncompromising artists that created something that transcended their medium. There never was anything like TOOL before TOOL, and there’s been nothing else on their level since inception. Thank you so much for laboring to pull all this footage together and produce this beautiful doc. Keep shining your light where I can see!
WOW! chilebootleg you sir did an amazing job with this documentary, amazing. I have some experiance with video editing and this one took shitload of patience, talent, time and more, respect. Love from Lithuania to all TOOL fans
The aenema producer is so humble, but to this I can put that album on and it's a new journey every time. Every time that while album just flows through my veins and I absolutely love it
That "mini" documentary made me even obsessed to the band! I've never listened to the same songs for literally everyday. I was listening until I got bored but this is different. I don't get bored and I didn't know that I can listen to something without getting bored. The meanings of the lyrics really gave me the urge to think deeply about myself and everything. The melodies are giving me chills all the time. Bro that thing is addictive.
Two of the best music docs I’ve ever seen were made by fans on RU-vid. This one. Also Metallica Hypnotizing Power. This is a new thing and it’s great 👍
idk... tool lyrics have always been on a different level for me. 8th grade my bestie and I learned every lyrics to undertow, and then to aenima. 10000 days took a few listens to grow on me... but fear innoculum is a whole level in itself. it gives me the same feeling that undertow did back then. I've also seen APC and Puscifer a couple times.. not the same, but have grown to like anything Maynard has his hands (and voice) in. Mike Patton and Henry Rollins are in the same category. Timeless, and meaningful.
Tool is something unique in this world. They have the gravitas of a godly band. I'm from Mexico, and very rarely they have stepped on this land to impart their gospel. Having them in concert at Cumbre Tajin festival in 2014 was a major feat! I can't begin to tell you about the harmony and connection between them and that huge mass of fans that attended... Then Schism started to play, and everyone just surrendered and lost themselves completely in the soundscape. When the verse transitions entered that long sustained tone, all you could hear was a single voice, band and audience singing in perfect pitch... I felt paralyzed with bliss and awe, and I knew that my lifeforce was waiting to bask in that very moment since the first time I heard their music...
Let's see Frank Zappa rush yes elp genesis Steve Hackett humble pie deep purple pink floyd dream theater king crimson grateful dead etc. etc dont get me I love tool too but there is a vast amount great bands out there that are beyond brilliant
Since Tool surpassed Zeppelin and AC/DC as my favorite band in the planet since I heard H on the radio, this is the best indie documentary I've seen. Well done, and and thanks!
I have a VHS of someone’s home recording of an earlier Tool concert. This doc inspires me to digitize it and share it. The quality is quite good and there’s a funny scene where someone pukes in Maynard’s jacket.
TOOL has been my favorite band since 1993. Now of all time musicians/artist/vocalists my favorite vocalist is Maynard James Keenan, my favorite bassist is Justin Chancellor, my favorite drummer is Danny Carey and my favorite guitarist is Adam jones. So TOOL is perfection. I have OCD so TOOL works out well for me!' This documentary was brilliant! Well done!
