I think all of the planet earth movies came out between their records. A film of FI would probably encapsulate more of history than most documentaries lol
Tomás Barrios es otra cultura, son mucho más ordenados q nosotros jaja me impresionó mucho eso, pero si agitaban a su manera, onda mover el puño nada más, pense q iba a ser menos, de escala fanatico argentino del 1 al 10 les doy un 7
It tickles me to hear Danny so proud of what they did. That sensitivity to the simple concept of working hard on something you love is so easy to love and respect.
I was thinking while listening... man, Danny sure as fuck sounds fucking happy about the fucking album they fucking put out. 😂😂 I'd love to chill and have a beer with him.
My wife surprised me yesterday with tool tickets. She's never heard tool and just went with me for the hell of it. After seeing that performance she's completely obsessed now! She said, "I feel like I just witnessed legends"
It was an absolutely phenomenal show on saturday. I've never left a show so thoroughly impressed. Everything was amazing from the performance to the the set design and imagery in the background. I really loved the huge pyramid during descending
Agreed. Add Doug Clifford, Frank Beard, Joey Jordison, Shannon Larkin, Matt Sorem, John Demsmore, so many greats. Thanks for making me think brother. Peace.
Fear Inoculum wasn't just 'the bomb,' it was a Helium Bomb that ripped a hole in Music Spacetime. Cant believe it was made in 2019, that means Im still listening to it 2 Years later with no end in sight. Hell, Im still jamming 10,000 Days and Lateralus too. TOOL lover for life.
I’m right there with ya. Except since 1992 when I never heard of them and saw them open up for Rollins Band. I went the next day and brought Opiate, and have been in love since.
Me 3! 😆 I remember being about 6 or 7 and watching the video for "Sober" with my dad. I had no idea what it meant at the time, I just knew I loved it. He recorded the video on VHS and I would watch it religiously. Never seen them live before, but I got my ticket last week for Madison Square Garden in January. I'm so fuckin stoked!!! 🤘 🔧
@@untermensch7764 I didnt realize TOOL is still touring. Holy crap, Im gonna see TOOL again! I learned last time, never buy those nose bleed seat... Im going to the stage this time! I owe it to myself since theyre my FAVS. i love all the band but Danny on those drums is effing awesome!
@blitzmotorscooters1635 He's a fuckin animal, dude! One of the best. I couldn't afford anything near center stage, but I got off to the side pretty close. I'm fuckin ecstatic really. And you better get yur ticket now bro, they're getting up there. $$$
Controversial I know.....but the more I listen to this album, the more I feel it might be their best. Not just their best, but one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time. It is endlessly interesting. You just find yourself amazed upon each and every listen. That must be the measure of a masterpiece
@@3three3three3three i was the same! I listened to it the day it was released and wasn't that impressed.i went back to it 6 months later and I can't stop listening to it now. its amazingly good. I saw them live in 2006, unreal!!!
It was the first album I heard in 40 years that nailed me dead in my chair just listening to it from the first note. I'm 58. As soon as it ended I listened again. And again. Just sat there, listening. It totally blew my mind. And then covid happened... What? I still obsess over it. It's the only album I take everywhere with me, literally. And I am very excited to see them live in March. Major Ticketmaster cock-up as per usual and IMPOSSIBLE to book a single ticket (nowadays, seriously?) but a friend came to the rescue. The seat is crap and the venue is a horror for sound engineers to get right but I'm going. I need to "feel" this music live.
I'd figure Danny would be the one having trouble keeping up with the polyrhythmic riffs that Adam and Justin are churning out. But no, it was the string section struggling to keep up with Danny.
That's so funny. In an interview Adam Jones did a few months ago he said the same thing. He said they'd be in the studio jamming and DC would start playing some crazy shit and he and Justin would have a hard time keeping up 😂😂😂 What an incredible drummer DC is. Love him!!!
Couldn't agree more Justin & Danny were on a pod cast made by a musician I forget who it was but Justin mentioned he might have a riff he's been playing around with & he sends them to Danny & asks him to put his work to it see what he comes up with. There was 4 or 5 other musicians in the pod cast but the whole conversation it was really obvious how much the 2 of them really enjoyed bouncing off each other. They were actually like 2 new members excited about working together seeing if they could create some unique starting point to a song. Nothing like 2 members who've been playing & making successful music together for 25 years now.
True... I wish the word "masterpiece" actually justified what the new album is, but it just doesn't describe the legendary sound... I liken it more to eye gougingly orgasmic.
I have had an almost 30 year obsession with this band. The hours of joy, bewilderment, and love I have received from their music are immeasurable . Only Tool could do this. The expectations, the crazy fans, the amount of time, the rumors, the lawsuit, the infinite hope and love from true fans, and they killed it. FI is beautiful and wonderful. I have never hoped for something so much in my life. A Shit album would have been devastating . But I should have known, Tool is unable to do anything but awesomeness . They are the GOAT. They are the bar. And I love them so much.
Meh. Listened twice, does nothing for me. Seems like a album of second rate Tool songs off their old albums. Nothing really stands out even for a single. Danny carried this album so hard I almost feel sorry for the guy.
As far as I'm concerned, the guys in Tool do not need to explain themselves or justify why they took this long to release an album. To quote Adam Jones it's not good when it's done it's done when its good. Masterpieces take time. This is Tool we're talking about it.
To make it simple. Its Maynard. Just like it is Serj, and Corey. All the singers get arrogant and they cause so much division in the bands that made them famous its almost impossible to work with them in studio. Maynard gave all his attention to ACP because it was HIS project, not a equal share band. Same with Serj and Corey and their bands, they just ignore it and everyone else has to wait and bite the bullet. Its honestly better to break up then force an album, this album sounds totally forced. The SOAD album will probably be terrible going by the history of how this goes with bands taking too long of a break.
@@suphoala Yeah. Apparently a so called friend of Adam Jones' sued cause he said he wasn't properly compensated for art work he claims he did for the band and an insurance company sued the band, then Tool countersued omg. It was a f'n shitshow. Seems to be all sorted out now. We have a masterpiece.
FanaticalDrummer I don’t believe it’s Maynard. Look how easy it is for him to write other stuff. He has put out multiple albums on top of running his wine business. He was quoted right when the album came out saying something along the lines of “it was good 8 years ago”. Also he wanted the music on streaming services (like all his other music). Watch his most recent Joe Rogan podcast. He’s not the reason the album took so long but it’s out now so who cares. Hopefully the next one doesn’t take that long!
Rubaida Allen if any band doesn’t have their singer stand out in the spotlight it’s TOOL. Have you ever seen a show? He’s in the background making it a point for everyone to focus on the whole package and not just him.
Jones gushing about Carey @ 6:45 fucking warmed my heart. They are all so incredibly talented and truly admire eachother's talent, skill, and creativity.
You can hear it. A small percentage of fans say they hate the record, it's less than stellar cause it's not kicking ass enough. Bullshit. I agree with you 100%. Tool has matured since Opiate and Aenima. They are wiser, mature and at different places in their lives. I absolutely love Fear. I've been listening to it since August non-stop. I went to see them live in November, and the show was so stunningly beautiful I got choked up a little. F the naysayers. Tool is back and better than ever.
Rubaida Allen yeah, it’s the only rock album (Other than some of Incubus) that I can just relax too. It might not be as dense as their other work but it’s just a nice, spiritual, wise album. It’s almost a bit hard to describe
@@olsonbryce777 It is indeed. It's not Lateralus or Aenima. Tool could repeat themselves, but what's the point in doing that? I love how mature Fear sounds. I love the lyrics and how Maynard is talking about looking back, growing up, accepting that you're getting older and doing it gracefully. It's a beautiful album and I hate that a few morons want 1992 Tool. Fear is a stunning achievement and should be recognized as just that. An absolute masterpiece.
Baressi is an unsung hero. TooL is the catalyst of the universe and the intricacies are otherworldly. The mindfulness and creativity of each member, including their outside endeavors, is symbiotic. Structured in a way no other band can attest to or mimic. It's commitment and a testament of the time and energy it takes to communicate within their own personalities, revealing the power of music. A benefit to all!
This is one of those albums that just gets better with each listen. At first, I wasn’t a huge fan, but after a while it started to grow on me. Now, I absolutely love it.
I had this all f***** up! I thought Maynard was spending so much time with APC and Puscifer and that's why it was taking so long. I've been drumming now for about 30 years and I've always thought Danny was the man because his shit is hard to replicate. After I listened to this one I was thinking...how the f*** is he going to play that live? I just saw them a few days ago in Cleveland and he has just raised the bar for rock drummers to ridiculous heights! Polyrhythms against other polyrhythms! *(Polymeters)
@@CatTrashGaming Yeah great show man, I always wish I was closer. My seats were good, (105 row 7) but not great. I liked the idea of the surround sound, I've seen them before but, that was different...🤘
Hey!! I was at the November 25 DC show too! I’m from Pakistan and I was in the US at the time as a foreign exchange student, I felt like I accomplished all that I had set out to do once I saw Tool live! The number of Tool or rock/metal fans here is underwhelming. It was a dream come true being there.
This album is so good it makes me want to cry, how much effort they put in to make it happen. Then releasing an album at this time in 2019 with all of the shit going on in the world, with all of the bullshit going on they pulled off this epic album with songs about people coming together. So awesome. Everyone wanted an angry tool record but we got a realistic honest beautiful album. Im so happy with where they are, being honest with themselves and doing what they wanted instead of what everyone else wanted.
There are fans out there, a small percentage, who want Opiate all over again. Tool in 2019, 2020 is not Tool in 1992. People grow up and evolve. That's what Fear Inoculum is. The albums stunningly beautiful and I love it.
@matt matt Lateralus is STUNNING. I think of all their albums Lateralus is the crown jewel. I remember when it came out in 2001. I was blown away then and am still in awe of this record. I got it on vinyl recently. So incredibly stunning. Wow is all I can continue to say.
This album has made me a fan, a BIG fan. I love this fucking album. I do not put on anything else except this album since august. Its a CLASSIC. Its the BEST rock album made in 25 years. I'm now a hardcore fan and just saw them 2xs on current tour which was amazing. Great job guys. You got a new fan in me.
The UNITY is AMAZING I believe this is something to be said. Never about themselves individually. But yet they bring out individual artistical amazements. Best group of musicians Of all times and when needed the most. Maynard getting in the third eye zone That's where we be heading. Thanks to your backstage peoples, that help you do what you guys do THE BEST of TOOL
I first saw TOOL when they were just the opening band. Thier dedication to thier craft is what made them one of the only survivors of the 90s music scene. They deserve all the success.
Me too. Adam and company killed it on this album. We've all been listening to Fear now for two months. I'm still in awe of Descending and Tempests guitar solo. Adam Jones just went balls out and proved that he is one of the most unique and innovative guitarists in the world. We are all proud indeed 🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
In tempest. The beginning of the solo. When its just danny and Justin. The first time I heard that I was literally curled in the fetal position crying like a bitch. Its that good Prob the greatest break in the history of rock.
seen them in cleveland a couple days before you, great show , 5th time seeing them since lateralus tour. ive probably seen 200 shows in my life including pink floyd , who, iron maiden, king crimson,Black sabbath , just good bands for the past 35 years and i put tool as top 3 bands live possibly the best live band i ever seen. they are that good, even if you dont like there music you cannot go away saying it was a bad show.
I was willing to wait however long it took for Tool to release this album and was not complaining. Whatever their process is, it's worth the wait and has produced some of the best music of all time.
We were all pissed off that it took so long ... but now that's it here. We have nothing to say. You put together the 10 best albums of the last decade and none of them even compare. Tools least good is everyone elses best. If they end with FI we should all be beyond grateful and happy with everything weve received from them.
That was one of the best interview segments with TOOL I've ever listened to. Super interesting and informative. It gave me a real in depth insight into not only their process but into their individual personalities, their relationship dynamic and the totally unorthodox way they do things. It adds to the mythos that is TOOL.👁
So great to listen to! When listening to their album, it's like from another universe. Nice to come back to earth with this amazing explaining! Respect 🙏
I think it's pretty obvious on the records that these 4 work perfectly together as a group of people or artists. After listening to this it's obvious the complete admiration they've got for each other as musicians which is how they're so successful as a 4 piece. It's actually great to hear how well they get on, it seems most bands have fall outs but these 4 will say every time it's a total collective effort and give & take in the process of making a song. I don't think I do their efforts justice by calling it a song it's a composition of unbelievable complicated & intricate artistry. You don't get a Tool record by listening to it 4 or 5 times. You still find new stuff there after listening 20 to 30 times at the least. I think that's how their music is timeless.
Man, I love hearing Danny Carrey s passon about the experience. And the conviction that they can work so hard to get themselves, and us exactly what THEY wanted!!
Lol when it comes to being able to take a breather and have a few whisky on the rocks'... if anyone in the history of mankind has ever earned it, it's Danny.
Saw tool in May 2007 for 10,000 Days tour.. was simply amazing, euphoric, cascading, all encompassing, hypnotic, immensely deep, intense in every sense. Just saw tool again Feb 2022. It was JUST AS AMAZING. I cannot fathom how much it affected me. My legs, ankles and hips were sore and fatigued halfway through their show and I work out 5-6 days a week so I’m relatively strong and healthy, but the energy coming from them was so amazing. Then they did the sit down in front of the audience for 5 minutes again while everyone just loved on them and cheered for them and their amazing contributions they have given us.
@@lifesgood9528 Lisa pizza! Yes you’re right! So very lucky! Very surreal. Literally my ankles and knees and hips were tired halfway through from jamming so hard in my seat lol.
It sounds more like Donny Baker than Danny Carey. I'm still in shock with this album, totally worth the wait. I've learned Pnuema and Invincible so far and can't wait to dive into 7empest. It feels unfair that a person can learn in a month what it took them 13 years to craft. One good thing is it gives a much deeper and heartfelt level of respect for the work that was put into it. Respect.
Tool is such an extraordinary group of guys that create the most unbelievable music I’ve ever heard. I’ve been listening to Tool since the mid-90s and first seen them in concert with my sister in Kalamazoo, MI on March 4, 1997. The early music got me through very difficult times because I got lost in it. As they evolved with every stage of their life, they simply got even better. Fear Inoculum was worth waiting so many years for - it left me speechless. It is a masterpiece that shows how their artistry is relevant in any decade. I am going to their concert in San Jose next week and it will be my 21st show. I am very grateful to have seen them in the early days and now at this time of their lives.
Would have the songs on repeat for days. Then on St. Patrick's day 2020 I had a major heart attack. In the operating room they had me drugged but not unconscious. I had "Pneuma" on my text notifications- the whole thing. I got a text during the surgery and my phone went off., full volume.. That whole thing played, I can't remember if it looped at the end or what happened then but man what music. Fear Inoculum grabbed me deep like the Mahavishnu Orchestra did winter 71-72, and like nothing else had in many years. I know Danny's a fan of Billy (Cobham).
I've seen lots of bands but seeing T00L live was a completely life changing experience. Witnessing their evolution over the years has been nothing short of astonishing. Particularly the evolution of the individual members (Paul D' Amour included). It's what they're about. It's what T00L is about. Personal evolution and that of our relationship to the world around us. If it takes another 20 years, I'll be patiently waiting for what I know will be perfection...... if I'm still alive by then, that is, lol!
Danny says fuck every other word and he's sipping on a drink, Justin is all calm and hardly ever swears. Lol. These guys are amazing, fan since 98' and just saw them for the fifth time on Halloween night. No band has ever spoke to me like Tool does, their music is transcendent and on another level.
Fear Inoculum is a masterpiece. 8:45 - Justin Chancellor hit the nail on the head (and circled back to Danny Carey's comment earlier about the product being far greater than the sum of the parts) when he talks about "Descending," and not liking it until he heard it in context with the entire album. Same experience that I had, with not really taking to any of the "leaked" tracks (including "7empest," for god's sake), until I heard the entire album together, then I "got" it, and it was incredible.
A fucking incredible work of art from top to bottom. This is what happens when the musicians, the engineers and the mastering folks all come together and push the living fuck out of each other and the result is next level.
Got to see Tool twice in one week (11/19-Philly & 11/22-AC) after waiting forever to see them live. I must say best concert/experience of my life. The band sounded so perfect and Maynard killed it! Got to hear Swamp song!!!! With Pneuma/Invincible/Vicarious/46 & 2 twice live!!! The bar has been raised!!
Loved tool since my brother showed me them when I was 12. Been growing up listening to them non-stop through out the years patiently awaiting a new album. Boom 2019 Fear Incolum, and straight after that boom Tool Australia tour, first since 2005.Bought 4 tickets and saw them last friday on valentines day. A total dream come true, best day of my life bar being born. Big time "after concert blues"..so much so a trip the US in the future is now in the cards, just for this fucking band man. Fucking love it.
My favorite band since 1993. Never got to see them until this year in AC. The show almost didn’t happen. Justin has food poisoning, and Maynard pulled his hamstring hours prior to the show. That show was fucking amazing, the best show I’ve ever seen or experienced. I always missed them for some reason or anther that was completely out of my hands over 20+ years. The fact that they played through injury and sickness is just awesome to the fans. I love it, best band ever. Hands down
Glad to hear what these guys have gone through to make their masterpiece. I and my band have been working on our 3rd album for a year and a half now, and we are close to our master mixdown phase. But there are always adjustments and tweaks that arise. Soon we'll have to put our foot down, but only when we're satisfied.
You mean 'The band and I'...?🤓 Thanks for the insight. Can't imagine making something for that long. Don't the tracks start to lose their appeal when you continually adjust?
@@toolbandtube HaHa! Thanks for the grammar lesson. Was late when I was watching and commenting. Yes, it has taken some time, but no, the tracks only get better and more appealing as time goes on. Just today I was running a mix for the last song on the album (a huge sounding doom metal piece) where I linked up a small acoustic guitar/cello/flute piece at the end, cross-fading in, that I embellished with some wind and bell effects that summed up the bleak, desolate context of the lyrical content before it. Made my skin go goosebumpy. This production is going to be epic. Understand, our band is based in progressive doom metal but we take a lot of our inspiration from psychedelic sources and orchestra enhanced bands as well, such as Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues (even more so lately). If it takes time to produce our vision, then so be it. Here's our channel if you want to check it out: ru-vid.com/show-UC7z1K_AjMLdyYJ18siY0tdg
Bro-- as a guy that went to school to learn video production: you are devoted! Whew, this took some time editing/producing.... Kudos! I love these guys **mad respect
Been a fan since '92. But for some reason this album is making me re-listen to the others and I've been getting way different vibes from them compared to when I listened to them before years ago. Amazing. When you hear band mates saying they are proud of their members off-hand, you know it's a great band. Not even Pink Floyd members said this about themselves.
Oh please, please, I hope they have at least some type of recording demo during the recording process over the years. Can you image the evolution of these amazing songs? Surely some early iterations are just as genius but got changed into a different genius song. Like Davinci painting over one painting with an equal masterpiece... the original lost to history.
Greatest album of all time. 7empest is a masterpiece. Got to see them in the UK and going again this year. Absolutely amazing live. Watching Danny play Pneuma live was mind blowing. Listened to this album every week since it came out. Wife goes nuts as it is the only album I play in the car.
I got into too Tool during my freshmen year in high school with only opiate, undertow and aenima albums out at that time. At the end of my senior year of high school laterolus was released and I blown away. I was able to to see tool 5 times with the release of 10,000 days in 2006. My first concert seeing tool was in 2001 in Berkeley, Ca at a high school campus, the opening band was King Crimson, I was with my dad as he grew up to yes and king crimson and raised me to this genre of music and I never looked back. Tool is the only band that heals my pain or if I’m sad or in a bad mood, tool helps me escape. This band is on another level than other bands. Last year(2019) in October tool was tour and they played here in Los Angeles at the staple center. My wife had bought tickets and my parents went with us to the show. My mom not being a fan of heavy metal in general and harder styles of rock and progressive rock/metal growing up. She never really got into tool as I listened to them daily in my teenage years and into early adulthood. My mom surprised me as she has gotten into tool as of recent thanks to my dad. Once she saw them live her mind and the way she saw the band has changed and she is now a huge fan of tool. I’m thankful that I have discovered band .
Really kind of you to take the time to share that story, Daniel. Thank you. What I have really enjoyed with the Fear Inoculum album have been the stories. People getting into them as teens and now listening to FI as adults, as parents in many cases. This music really does trancend simply music or art. It affects people on a spiritual level and that has to celebrated and shared.
I watched him on Halloween night do a solo on a Gong and what he did with those drumsticks I have never seen another human do he was hitting them like you would normally but then he was flipping them around and hitting the gong with the butt end of a drumstick he was doing it so fast it is not even explainable I bet you fifty bucks he could hit a quarter on a wall and make that quarter never drop he is the best drummer alive currently and that night on October 31st blew my mind
@@Shiver020 Damn straight. Metal heads are crying why isnt every son like 7empest. While little ole progressive rocker me is going "god Descending is so great".
Being a drummer it's one thing to copy what Danny does but I always sit back and think of how much time and effort it must take to construct those time signatures/ those beats/electronics and everything else that goes into his performance...Then play it as if you've been playing it your whole life...
Oh and to the ppl that say this album is boring and their worst. You obviously haven’t matured like their music has. Then more you listen to this one the better it gets. Masterpiece!
I disagree only because at one point Danny mentions that on their hiatus, some had kids. As supportive as I'm sure their wives are, I doubt the Mrs would've been cool with taking care of the kids all week from 1pm -5 lol. Could be wrong tho
This work by Tool will go down in Rock History as one of the best ever.... honestly we have not heard work like these guys have put out since the Zeppelin Days....the intricacies of this music is truly epic. My only hope now is the tour doesn't get cancelled due to the whole Covid-19 panic..because the wife and I have tickets......I would love to see these guys do this tour at Red Rocks on a nice calm slightly foggy evening ....kinda like the U-2 Concert at the Rocks....how cool would that be ? By the way I was working in our shop the other day and our granddaughter who is 7 was with me and she got to listen to the CD with me and she was sitting on a stool watching me assemble this Big Block Chevy Engine I was working on and she is beside me just tapping her foot on the stool rail and bobbing her head.....gotta start em off right you know.
