Tool - Vicarious | First REACTION! | 10,000 Days Beginning! 

Huge Thank you to everyone who has already signed up on Patreon - Not only do you get early access to these reactions, you support me personally and the channel directly❤️ JAMBI Reaction Dropping tonight on Patreon for anyone who’s still thinking about getting involved - will be up on RU-vid tomorrow night regardless🔥

That joy was contagious. I felt like I was hearing this one again for the first time. Awesome reaction.

Vicarious - like how we (as longtime Tool fans) get to experience these songs again for the first time through someone else's eyes. It's what makes the reaction RU-vidr genre so appealing: watching people love what we love.

People sleep on this album so hard. I get that it takes a "step back" from Lateralus's general theme of transcendence into something more personal and emotional, but this is still an absolutely beautiful and perfectly executed album.

This was definitely Justin's album. The bass guitar in every track on the album is insane

You have to do Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned together.

CANT WAIT FOR WINGS FOR MARIE ITS OK TO TEAR UP WHEN "IT" HAPPENS.

This is an evisceration of “news entertainment,” an industry which thrives on the sensationalism of human tragedy, while at the same time, MJK admits that such an industry wouldn’t exist if humans didn’t seem to have an endlessly insatiable appetite for the misery of others. This is one of my favorite Tool songs, as I just love the lyrics, MJK’s delivery, and the ebb and flow of the instrumentals, which build to a typical badass Tool crescendo at the finale. Lots of other good songs on this album, as others have said, but my next favorite seems less popular: ‘Right in Two.’ It’s another critique on human nature and our propensity for violence, tribalism and greed, but this time from the perspective of angels.

Wings for Marie Part 1 and 2 need to be done together. A real tear jerker when you understand.

vicarious its probably not tool's deepest song or complex on their sound but its one of my all time favorites and amazing way to start an album.

Ahhh Vicarious. My absolute favorite Tool song. The entire 10000 days album was just solid. Really listen to the lyrics. Especially around 4-6 minute mark.. It is extremely relevant to today's societies

“Right in Two” will BLOW YOUR MIND 🤘

Fookin’ wall ‘o’ sound, innit?

Must be nice to experience all of this for the 1st time. I wish I could go back and experience TOOL again for the first time.

When you get to Wings for Marie Part 1 & 2, I highly recommend you check out "Judith" by A Perfect Circle first. It's generally accepted as the first part of the "Maynard's Mom Trilogy" and helps you appreciate how far he came from his mom's situation. You may want to check out that backstory first to know why that is such a powerful "trilogy." Also, it's critical you do Wings For Marie Part 1 & 2 together as one leads into the other, just as it's important to do Lost Keys & Rosetta Stoned together for the same reason.

Also yeah. Do wings 1 and 2 together. They are meant to go together.

What an opener! Classic, exotic build up to that rollocking riff, and it just dozznt stop for nearly 9 minutes. When you know how extended their songs get, its amazing to hear such momentum, all guns blazing swagger and everybody shooting to thrill ,without much departure from the get go over the entire song. Huge chorus, seething, but infectious melodies - Adam peeling and chugging out those grooves, Justin's exotic to elastic sounding bass taking things even elsewhere in the background,and the rolling thunder of Danny propelling Maynards near hushed warnings to an all out assault at the volcanic finale. That build up to the big bang over the final coupla minutes is just fuckin' class. And, with Jambi, the battering ram through the barricades continues- thats one of their most rocking songs. As much as I love Tool's progressive tangents and brilliantly lengthy journeys, its just deadly hearin 'em kick the shite out of things so relentlessly like this. Class reaction, lad. Enjoy the rest of the album- it gets deeper and deeper as you further on.

This album is a masterpiece. Some people are too afraid to admit this is their best album. It's very close between this and laterlaus for me. I personally think the musicianship in this album is the peak of all of their powers. Keep reacting brother! Awesome!

You look like one of my biggest enemies when I was about 18. So it took me a minute to come around. The Irish accent helped. Also Tool. Cheers brother

Make sure to record Wings for Marie pt1 and 2 together. And Lipan Conjuring, Lost Keys, and Rosetta Stoned together as well.

Just saw them last Saturday in Detroit best concert EVER love Tool

Deftones and A Perfect Circle!!!

You need to react to lost keys + Rosetta Stoned together

Man I love this song. It hits hard, it makes a point but gets there quickly enough and with language you dont have to think too hard about. Basically it's the song I use to introduce people to Tool since it's not like 10 minutes long.

Dude, I CANNOT WAIT for you to WITNESS the MASTERPIECE of LOST KEYS/ROSETTA STONED. Your mind will be taken into a higher dimension!!

4:04 "While the mother holds her child watches him die..." *happyness intesifies* Digging it with you bro XD

What a great song to start off with - Vicarious is one of my all-time favorite Tool songs, possibly my favorite, since I'm in 1000000% agreement with what Maynard is saying in the lyrics. It's such a scathing indictment of our social media culture these days - "The Universe is hostile, so impersonal - devour to survive; so it is, so it's always been" Absolutely true and man... Something we all really need to remember from time to time. The Universe doesn't care - it's the people in it that care.

Oh and you thought this was fire I can't wait to see the Jambi and Wings for Marie 1 & 2. They are nuclear!!!

Oh come on Drew! You gotta be honest, ya never heard a better band than Tool!! And we are just getting into this album... This is an epic ride and we are on it. Keep up the good work bro! 👊

And this is usually how I feel and react when I listen to TooL. Ive been listening since I was 15. Im 36 now. 🤘🏼🔥💯

10,000 Days is my favorite album. Every album is good, but 10,000 Days to me is special personally. Just what was happening in my life at the time and how it helped me through everything, and was the soundtrack during those days. Also seeing them live right after it was released. 8:38 mark of Rosetta Stoned live - you'll know what I'm talking about when you hear that part.

Cant wait for Wings pt 1&2

Now that is the reaction I've been waiting for! Now I KNOW you feel Tool like your meant to lol. Vicarious is great to listen to in the car, loud as hell belting the lyrics. It's basically about how sick we are as people, we act like we're disgusted by these atrocities but at the same time we can't wait to see the next tragedy....as long as it's happening to someone else. Jambi is f'in awesome, one of my top tracks. The songs Jimmy, Judith by a perfect circle, then wings 1&2 tell a story. Then lost keys, rosetta stoned and intension go together. Can't wait to see tomorrow's reaction. I'm officially staying subscribed now.Lol

Bro JAMBI. I’m gonna cry for you man. This album has so many straight bangers.

Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 is probably the most beautiful song I have ever heard. The music and meaning of the song makes me tear up every time I listen to it. Maynard is one of the best vocalists and lyricists in the world.

I think this was the most excited you've been since Forty Six & 2!! Can't wait until you get to Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned...that's a top 5 Tool track in my book! 👌

Right! Kind of important! When you get to wings part 1&2, first you should really do 'Jimmy' (tool) and then 'Judith' by 'A perfect Circle' (one of Maynards other bands). They tell the story in that order of his mother, her illness, his childhood, his anger and then finally acceptance of what happened to her. Incrediby powerful stuff. You need lyrics for every part and when you do wings, its CRITICAL that you do them both together.

The best example of the definition of vicarious is reaction videos. I cannot have the experience of listening to this song for the first time ever again. But I can have that experience vicariously through you. Thank you for such a wonderful gift.

I would also recommend the Australian band Karnivool and the album Sound Awake. If you like Tool, you will also love Karnivool. Karnivool certainly do not rob the Tool just have a locally similar vibe at times. Try them, you won't regret it. Small big tasting from the album ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WbLEYQo98t0.html

Drew... I've probably heard this song, among the rest, hundreds or thousands of times... They NEVER get old. It's ironic, though, that I'm watching this and living VICARIOUSLY through your experience as you react to your first listen. I love the videos, man... Keep them going!

Yes! I've been looking forward to your reaction to this album, so many favourites on here and Vicarious is the 1st song that got me into Tool so many years ago. I can't wait to see what you think of the rest!

Best walk out, total climax moment at the crescendo of the song. Bro I've been following your journey and I love that you're truly embracing Tool's catalogue. When I saw you reacted to Third Eye I was like, sold. Best Tool reactions on youtube. Please do smash out this album, more than any other I feel that 10,000 days is supposed to be listened to as a whole piece. Songs like Intension and Right in Two, Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) and Rosetta Stoned. This album is the absolute epitome of sound and art imo.

I got chills through my entire body.. Like listening to the song for the first time! Crazy..thanks!

I've worked in TV News for the last 25 years. This song IS me. It's everything I feel watching news...numb to horror and corruption, to death and destruction. Pretty sure this is my all-time favorite Tool track, though "Invincible" is gaining fast.

this song is one of my top favorites along with jambi! i’d also recommend karnivool, you’ll really love them. but i definitely suggest their themata album over anything else. lifelike, roquefort, shutterspeed are my personal favorites. awesome reaction! ✌🏻

I’ve wondered for a while now why I enjoy reaction videos so much. After watching this video, I know exactly why. Watching someone else’s first reaction to an awesome song reminds me of how I felt the first time I listened to it, since I can’t ever listen to it for the first time again. Keep up the great vids man!

Gotta say man, from watching one of your first reactions to Tool, to this one, you can see it's slowly infected ya and on this one particularly you can really see you feeling it, it's just awesome to watch. Fuck, I'd make my own reaction channel if I hadn't heard it all already, but you make people almost feel it in a way as if they're hearing it for the first time, like we are Vicariously feeling that first time intrigue again, through you. Thanks mate.

Great reaction man! In this age of easily digestible 'music' it's awesome to see someone understanding and enjoying some REAL music. Definitely one of the best react channels I follow. You're gonna trip balls on this one. 😀

This album, as a whole, is my favorite!

So excited for the pot and right in two

I will always remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this song. I knew it was going to play on the radio the day before the album was released. I was at work waiting patiently. I heard the first 3 notes and shouted 'New Tool!"

Your smile was genuine and straight from heart ❤

No shit, I've watched this video five times. I'm a 50 year old long term fan of Tool. It's quite a thrill to see a young guy get so jazzed listening to Vicarious for the first time. I'm experiencing it vicariously through Drew's ears. It's good shit.

Wait..."other people that don't like Tool"? They still make those kinds of people?

2:25 getting psyched to go make the buy 2:30 waiting for it to kick in 2:37 “Is it working yet?” 2:42 “oh, yeah! IT’S WORKING!” 4:40 “maybe I’m hitting the plateaqauuuu... PFFT NAH” 5:21 realizing you’ve hit your first peak 5:58 really peaking now 6:45 that causal down-peak slope 7:05 “wait. Where are we?...” 7:29 feeling the vibes 7:55 next peak, incoming 8:28 this time stamp is just for song song. For fooks sake. 8:59 “it’s over.. already?”

VICARIOUSLY I just heard the song for the first time again by watching your reaction, my dude. That was an amazing experience! Bravo.

I became a Tool fan because of GH: World Tour (released October 26th, 2008). I was 10 years old at the time & I’ve been a Tool fan ever since.

I just heard this song for the first time again vicariously through you, thanks. One of their best hands down.

Good stuff. You'll like this album a lot

I have been waiting for you to react on RIGHT IN TWO for like last 3 months. Now that you're on 10,000 Days, can't wait for that.

Vicarious is the first Tool song I ever heard, back in 2006, at 17 this blew my mind, I have been a die hard fan ever since.

Awesome reaction. That’s the way it should be. Without saying a word I can see you dissecting the layers of sound. And yes, they sound exactly the same live!!!

I love to watch someone discover the genius of tool. The moment the person realizes how great the music is they get a look on their face. Just like this guy

2:42 My first time hearing this song 2:52 My second time hearing this song 3:31 my 10000th time hearing this song

the dynamic between Justin and Danny in this song is what does it for me. The rhythm section is just so fucking tasty.

So glad you did this song. One of my top favorites. Much love from South Carolina.

Just saw them in Tulsa. Good God it was incredible. They played this song too. You the man!

❤️ excellent!!! I am a little jealous watching you experience this for the first time!!! I’ve been there!!! My favorite band!!!!

Honestly, Drew, the fact that you have uploaded this many Tool reactions, more than any other person I watch has made me subscribe to you and I'm so close to signing up to Patreon. As others have said brother, Wings for Marie and 10,000 days go together and same for Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned. Keep up the good work dude!

Great reaction. Can't wait for the rest of this album. It's my fave. You're in for a ride. Jambi, 10000 days , the pot, Rosetta stoned, right in two next.

Jambi, The Pot, Rosetta Stoned. This album has its charms.

“FUCK OFF... FUCK FUCK OFF” LMAO!! Enjoy the album, it literally takes you in a musical journey!! Cheers from Texas!!!

Tools coming to Australia... fuck yeah!

Bro I love watching you hear Tool songs for the first time. You really get it! Just how these channels should be. Ima pay you Patreon fr starting 1/2020

Your giddiness makes me giddy! I love watching you...vicariously living through your firsts.

Lmao. I loved your reaction. I vicariously lived through you during this reaction, remembering my own reaction when first listening to this song. Every song on this album is amazing. You're in for a treat.

This album went on repeat in my Winamp during the early days of WoW-grinding. Nostalgia and an amazing album!

I can’t wait for “Part of Me”, “Jerk-off”, ”4°” or “Sweat”…

What I wouldn't give to go back and have literally the EXACT reaction you had to TOOL upon first listen. Subscribed ❤️

Of my favorite tool songs

That was an awesome reaction! Can tell you're blown away by how good they are. Even though you've just started 10,000 days, you have to do Undertow next. Raw and aggressive early Tool. There are songs on that album that people go nuts for at gigs, staple tracks! Loving your videos man, always hanging out for the next!

8:22 Looked like you were gonna pause it... but I reckon you had an intuition of what was coming... 5 seconds later! 😂 Man... Tool has THE most epic song endings... The Pot and Flood spring to mind.

Tickets for my town go on sale tomorrow morning. They are currently touring this song. Great reaction.

Too cute...I can't even begin to tell you what a joy it is to watch someone like you discover Tool...and enjoy it as much as you do. Sometimes I forget about that initial feeling of buying the album and listening to it for the very first time...but stumbling on your video made it as close to reliving the experience as it was for me. 10,000 days is my personal favorite album, but Lateralus is also exceptional, for different reasons. I don't know if you've heard Hooker With A Penis yet, but I'm sure you'll get there. Really fun to watch you enjoy these guys. It made my heart happy

The way I feel EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS MAN! Awesome!

The joy on your face listening to this track is amazing!

Fucking love this song so much. Never been able to decide which I like better, this or Rosetta Stoned. My two all time favorite Tool tracks. Actually, two of my all time favorite tracks from anyone.

When you hear a tool song it’s that feeling that you feel in the video that you know that you are listening to something different and now the addiction begins

So happy your finally on 10000 days. All of the songs are bangers

You're in for a ride with this album. I think this might be my favorite Tool album. Oddly enough, it was panned by a lot of fans when it came out. Like others have said, you gotta do Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days together. Also, check out Karnivool when you're done with Tool.

just watched 4-5 of your Tool react videos, your reaction here was great, also love the green silk T

Can't wait til Jambi gets it's turn!!!!

One of the best songs ever written. Love your channel

Wings part 1 and 2 must be heard back to back. The same for lost keys and rosetta stoned.

That moment tool hits your tastebuds and wraps that smile around your head is epic!

Even your hair looks blown away! Haha could tell you thoroughly enjoy this song.

The breakdown in Right in two might make u cry bro Great reaction as always

Hilarious. You are a Tool fan through and through now. Watching you crack up was great, I remember blasting the shit out of this CD when it came out, was so excited. Waiting for the 8:30 mark for your head to pop was funny. Good stuff Drew, you will like this record as well. Spiraling farther out on this one.

I love Vicarious! It's such a great song. I can't wait to see you react to TOOL- JAMBI!!! :)

This is the best reaction to a song I might have ever seen. Amazing.
