Tool - Pushit (Live) Reaction 

One of Maynards best vocal performances in the history of TOOL

Tool is just one entire song with multiple climaxes really.

Tool is the best band I have ever heard. They’re simply on another level. So dynamic. They’re melodic and then they turn it to “11”. All 4 members are masters of their craft. Thank you for the reaction. It’s always great to connect with others that can appreciate just how special this group is. Can’t wait for the new album which they are currently recording. And congrats on England’s victory!!!

17 years after hearing this for the first time, I still get chills. One of the absolute epic live vocal performances ever.

The original is mind blowing too

I've been listening to Rock music for 40 years and only discovered Tool 4 months ago and am blown away by their music.Thier cover of No Quarter is immense and I'm sure you will feel the same

Chills, chills, more fucking chills. 22 years of pure chills.

Started out watching your "The Grudge" reaction when you weren't quite sure what Tool is and went on to "Lateralus" and now this, grinning like a useful idiot the whole time. I can't imagine what it must be like to discover this band at this stage of your life. I can remember watching Sober make its MTV debut in 1993 at the age of 16 like it was last week and here I am 26 years later just as awestruck and inspired by this band as ever. Welcome to the Tool Army.

I got to see this live 1 month after 911. So crisp and clear and flawless.

Right in Two

Yes. this is different from the studio version, I suggested this because it's easily one of the greatest live performance's ever, those high notes by Maynard at the end really are amazing for how crisp they sound being that it's live. just remember one thing. You don't listen to Tool, You experience Tool that's the difference from them then anyone ever.

Tool Disposition-Reflection-Triad, 3 songs from the same album that were supposed to be just 1 song

Very nice reaction to a superb song. Check another (very) underrated song by Tool - The Patient.

Pushit is my favourite song of all time. I love this version but the album version is my all time favourite. Absolutely love it.

Danny Carey(the drummer) spent years years training under a master to learn tabla drumming, then he brought in an engineer to replicate the sound and made his own pad. Years of work for a 20 second bit, that is the essence of Tool.

You absolutely MUST listen to their cover of No Quarter. Off the same album. Also live...Also totally mind blowing. After that You Lied, also from Salival is another totally great live cover of a song by Justin's (bassist) old band Peaches. You are welcome sir. LOL

The best thing Tool has ever done in my opinion

Parabol+Parabola and Schism are both very melodic as well. Waiting for them * its an eletronic kit And thanks for this. Cheers

The entire album Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle would probably be up your alley. Most of the songs are really good, but the album as a whole is one of my favorite.

Pushit was my favorite song for the longest time and it’s mind melting that they could do something like this and improve on what was already as great as it was. I think you’ll love Third Eye! Quite a journey of movements and build up.

IMO..the best version of this song is 1998...to watch that man sing with such emotion brings a tear to my eye everytime

Danny Carey actually has a hybrid kit. His kit is a Sonor acoustic kit but he also electronic pads called Mandala pads, something that he helped develop, that are electronic pads that are making the tabla sounds that you hear here.

The best band live imo. They play so tight and precise, yet with feeling and emotion coming through. On point. Great reaction.

This is EPIC TOOL.... This to me is as good as music gets as it is utterly spellbinding. May I recommend if not done already, Anaesthetize by Porcupine Tree. Gavin Harrison is another amazing drummer.

The studio version is raw and aggressively vitriolic, the contrast between the two complement each other, feels to me like the two sides of the conversation. When I started listening to Tool, I thought this was about a toxic love affair, sent shivers down my spine when I realised that it was also about the relationship between the id and the ego...

Aloke Dutta plays tabla solo (only for Pushit/Salival) Album version is great too.

I really like your videos. I appreciate your genuine reactions. Its like I got to be there first time you heard tool, sort of reliving my first time.

These videos take me back to the days when I discovered Tool for the first time. Such a great nostalgic feeling. Keep up the great work mate!

I love watching people's reactions listening to tool for the first time. That "fuckin hell" says it all 😂

Jesus the live version of this song. There are no words. NONE.

Dude they go to so many different places throughout their albums. I can’t wait for you to hear disposition reflection and triad. All part of a trilogy of songs off of Lateralus. Also yes Danny has electronic pads complimenting his drum kit. He sampled a bunch of tablas himself and uses the pads live for convenience.

Hands down one of the best releases from Tool, magnificent song!

Holy fuck, I never heard this until today and...just wow what an amazing transition from the original

I love watching you jam to tool! You get, you got, now get some more!!!

Such a magical sound. Love Tool

Watching your experience for the second time today🍿😁 2001 I was introduced to TooL in history class junior year hs. I was blown away. #1 fan since. Helped me undoubtedly through my maturing phase of life. An opened mind is a free mind. So ready for the new album. Great react🏆

Brilliant video, thank you

Dude, saw this live last year and I had never seen Tool live (or actually heard this track). It was the highlight of the show I think, absolutely STUNNING piece of work

I've been listening to Tool here and there for probably 15 or so years, and this is by FAR my favorite song of all of them.

I think you would dig the Patient off Lateralus. It has a big finally from a long time building and is full of melody as well! Really really awesome key changes and interesting time signatures!

Wow! Great video Jim!!

One of the best live perfomances of all time. Btw, love your channel, Jim.

Congrats on the England victory, Jim! They're looking good! Tool is one of the few bands I put the label genius on. Devin's another.

Thanks for doing this one, and congrats on the win against Sweden! Another melodic one, which at moments is VERY similair to Pushit live is Right in Two. Try giving it a listen. A side recommendation: You should check out Maynard's second band, A Perfect Circle, a good song to start with would be Orestes, Judith or The Hollow.

Lol you should look up a picture of danny carey's kit, its a huge kit to begin with, then he has electronic triggers mixed in with his set. Its wild lol

we need more tool reactions Jim XD... u are my 1 tool reviewer so far. U rly feel the music!

Aloke dutta was performing too on “push it” that night with tablas Just answering to your question ;)

Amazing review Jim...how someone gave this a thumbs down, is totally nuts. Proves that there is a nimrod in every You Tube channel.

Absolutely thrilled to see you experience this masterpiece! You heard correctly: it is much different from (and longer than) the studio version. Candidly, I don't really care for the studio version, but this Salival live version is jaw-dropping. Go England!

Fucken Hell alright. What a song, absolute genius piece of music...

best concert live!! right up there with Pink Floyd!! No one else puts their listeners in the experience of their life time all in 2 and 1/2 hours!! Prove me wrong!!

Saw this version of the song performed in San Antonio Texas, Sunken Meadow Gardens. They had a guest drummer perform that drum portion, however I have also seen Danny do it on an electronic set

Yes! Thank you!

I listened to this again today and watched your reaction from 3 years ago , excellent stuff . Noticed your reaction now to Zappas Joes Garage, I think it surprised you 😜

or maybe try Right in Two. Some deep social commentary there

Thanks for doing this one friend. Those tribal drums you heard are Tabla's played by a man named Aloke Dutta on stage. He is an established Bengali player. He played along side Carey for this song, the other noises you hear during Aloke's parts are Danny playing on his Mandala Drums (Electric). On your off time you should listen to the studio version of this song as well. Not as tribal, but just great non-the less. More tool (slowly of course - alot to absorb) in the future, please!

Absolute perfection!

If you want more vocal range and melodies, listen to Maynard’s second band, A Perfect Circle. Songs like The Hollow, Orestes, 3 Libras, Thomas.

I just discovered u Jim and really like your knowledge of music. Keep going brother

Absolutely crushing guitars! Sounds as if they're emanating from a volcanic eruption when the ear shredding pinnacle kicks in. The studio version is crisper, but this does prove to be quite a palpable piece of doom laden theatre! As stated: Absolutely brilliant!

i liked it before i wvwn watched it. i love your reactions bro.

The middle section of this song they brought onstage Danny's Tabla instructor, so theyre kind of duoing together. If you want melody, anything off their AENIMA album will blow your mind!

I was at this show..... so so good. buzz from the Melvins with Scott reader from Kyuss came out to do the Nuge's Stranglehold as well perform this STUNNING version of Pushit

Some of the best lyrics ever......”just remember I will always love, you as I claw your fucking thrust away....” best ever

The ethnic percussion was played by his mentor in this show

H. My favorite TOOL song.

I didn't get a shout out but I hope my suggestion got to you as well. I like seeing you become a Tool fan over time. They are a pretty significant band for a lot of people, as if you couldn't tell.

Haaayyy my first ever RU-vid shoutout.

If you want melody you should do "Wings For Mary/10,000 Days" (it's two song but it works as one piece of music), the saddest song of all times, just beautiful. Update (England won the game, congrats to all of you).

Yeah tool! Thanks!

The secret is, This is not a song, it's a ritual. 🌀

If you want to listen to the Drum Carrey Song for Tool, listen to Triad. It's part of a three song series that flow into each other, Disposition, Reflection, and Triad. Reflection is spiritually amazing, great guitar solo, but Triad is Tool's permission for Danny to go bonkers.

Im hearing 3/4 or 6/8 where you hear 4/4 at 7:00

Masterpiece

Hey Jim, like it very much to watch you reacting good music. Especialy Tool, was fun to see you hearing it the first time (grudge). Very clear analytics, getting to the point! A recommendation: the band is kyuss, songs could be demon cleaner, green machine, fatso forgotso, freedom run, gardenia... I would love it to watch you discovering them! Greetings from Leipzig

lol one last note, if you want to hear crazy time signatures, listen to Vicarious, Jambi and Wings/10K Days. Thanks again for your review and for following up and offering what your audience requests. Much appreciation and much love

Tool Disposition, Reflection, Triad! It's 3 songs in one and it's an unbelievable journey that you MUST experience if you want to understand and appreciate Tool. :)

Hey Jim , I got a question , how many time throughout the song did you forget that you were actually listening to a live song?

Jim for president!!

Coming from another older english guy this band is the best i have ever heard , you will feel the same soon i know Jim :P

No doubt it's a beautiful song.. the way the song transcends and builds up.. You should try Right in two , no quarter and wings for Marie (1 and 2). Im sure you won't be disappointed.. love all tool songs. Tool as a band are one of those few gems where the songs are an epic journey and a band where each of the band member are a class apart. Peace.

Woohoo Pushit! My Fav

Hey Jim! Im Back from the Festival. Awesome videos you did there, i was happily suprised to see my favorite Ayreon and my favorite Tool song on your channel suddenly! :D love it. First of all: Drum facts! Some people ask that in other videos: The Instrument you hear starting about 5:30 and 10:00 what sounds like some kind of traditional drum is often used by Danny Carey, its an electric Drumset integrated into his full Set. He does awesome stuff with that i totally agree with you there + i still cant believe how amazing maynard sings live in this song :) So! The Festival was super awesome, i go there every year since 2010 and this year was the best of em all. I promised you to let you know if i hear anything interesting or just really good there and i absolutly did. So take a listen to the Band: "Evergrey" and their song " In Orbit" Floor Jansen is in it and i enjoyed listening to them alot as i didnt know them at all before. Let me know how you like it :) Happy to be back!

If you want to hear more off the wall percussion work, check out the first 2 minutes of Eulogy.

You should listen to "Right in two", such a master piece!

Thanks, Jim

nice work jimmy boy!

I need to see TOOL live like I need oxygen

Enjoy your Tool reactions. If you liked this, you will like Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter.

One of my all time favorite TOOL songs is “H”. Check it out! Jimmy is awesome as well

Not many people get flood by tool but it I really love the fact that you get it . That is such a great song. And in reality the whole Undertow album is ridiculous Li good

Foohkin hell wow...about. Somes it up!

Beautiful song ✌️

There's a version of them playing this live in Maine in 98 I believe. Watch it please!!!!

Hey Jim, love these reactions! Another Tool song that has more melody that i think you would appreciate is The Patient. Give it a look!

Pretty sure he uses a hybrid kit-- where he has some pads mixed in that have programmed samples. :)

I have to beg to differ!! Think their tour in 2014 they had the best your of their careers which made this new album they created to be such a drastic change in their mindset going after the emotions of the listener!! Which no other band in history has 4 of the best musicians to walk the earth!!

so ridicously good !

oops, i was ready for bed and then i re-experienced Pushit with you. that was like listening to it for the first time again, clean deep base, crisp tearing riffs and vocals unlike anyone iv herd AND its only getting better. 🇨🇦❤️T[][]L

I hope you do a reaction to the studio version as well.
