You are only 3 more Tool songs away from realizing they are the greatest band on the planet. Note a lot of their songs go together so be careful or the Tool Army gets pissed 😂. As others have suggested, start with their first album and go through their entire catalog. The Tool Army will turn out in droves. Also get the lyrics up and only ever do the audio, no videos. #spiralout

The reason it sounds so random during that soft breakdown is because these guys are the masters of polyrhythms. The drummer, Danny Carrey is especially well versed in polyrhythmic drumming. During that section each band member is playing a different rhythm and every few bars or so it all lines up. It’s beautiful, controlled chaos. Just wait till you get deeper into their discography.

RATM wanted Maynard to be their singer. He didn’t think it was a good fit and introduced them to Zach.

Maynard is a true vocalist, genius lyricist.

No bopping. Feel it move like waves ebbing and flowing. Here for the tool journey. Thanks for sharing

2:45 immediate stank face before the guitar drop🤘..... love it, thanks my guy

There is no other band that creates a sonic soundscape like TOOL. It literally creates an auditory journey for your mind. Absolute masters of their craft and a blessing for the rest of us that get to experience it.

As good as they are on first listen, they get better with each time you here them. That’s the key to really good music.

To answer your question... Maynard(vocals) uses his voice as an instrument... the mathematics of their music relates to alchemy, gematria, esotericism, hermetic principles of healing through harmonics and frequencies, and philosophical principles of Plato and Carl Jung among others. The music is just a way to express their spirituality for others to enjoy and hopefully expand their mind and soul. You have only scratched the surface... the lyrics are soooooooo important to fully comprehend what they are doing.

Our electromagnetic protection from the suns radiation is waiting quickly and its causing havoc in the earths core... the days lengths are changing and catastrophic change is going to flip the world on its head.

You raise a good point. Most people when they first hear tool don't like it. That is the say they might think they like it but they don't like it as much as they soon will like it if they continue to listen to tool. It's simply because they're so unique. It's what makes their music timeless also. You see the mainstream rock and roll hits people either instantly like or they don't. People instantly get hooked when they do like it. However like any cheap drug it very quickly stops working. Tool will never stop working for you. For the same reason one must have enough experience with tool to really understand. So you might think you like this song right now but I assure you the more you listen to it the more you're going to like it and that's going to be for a long time like that ...

Welcome to the Tool army. 4 instruments Danny/drums, Justin/bass, Adam/guitar, Maynard/vocals. You have now entered the precipice, prepare to have your mind blown!

“You can’t just kind of bob back and forth. It’s constantly changing” Now you get it

The best description of Tool I ever heard...this is going to sound nuts.... The friend who introduced me to Tool, a musician in his own right, said it like this, and I’m paraphrasing...”if you’ve ever heard young children who have no idea how to play an instrument, yet want to start a band because they think it’s cool--The first time they play together would be scattered, ridiculous, chaotic nonsense. Well, Tool are those young children. but, unlike those kids, Tool has, somehow, mastered how to play music chaotically,...with order.” It makes sense if you think about it.

Listening to this song and Third Eye on psychedelics with my buddy probably sits in my top 5 most life changing moments.

Tool was so far ahead of their time. On another level. No band comes close. 3 masters doing work.

And a new TOOL fan is born. So glad that you got the chance to check this out. And, now you know what’s up. My, dude! 🤘😝🏴‍☠️

This song is based off of the Fibonacci Sequence. The Fibonacci spiral shows up in most natural things. It's truly amazing once you look up the number sequence, and then go through how the song is sung.

This is the best song ever, in my humble opinion by the way. It’s my favorite one! I could say, Tool saved my life, and currently I need more Tool to heal my pain. I loved your reaction brother.

There is a way to bop with TOOL bro... Half a bottle of Johnny Blue, followed by an Elaine (Seinfeld) boogie. Try it! The inward collapsing knee motions, coupled with the outward thumb movements somehow match the constant changes within their music 💃 😂 Lovin your reactions mate! 4 days in, and already using your content to unwind from a hard working, highly stressful week. You're now my favourite Sydney-Sider. This Mexican (aka Melbourne boy) has never had one of those before. The magic of TOOL hey... Music without borders ✌

Tool Army Inbound!!!

The music is written first, then Maynard comes in and writes his lyrics and the rhythm of his words to the music! ❤ Maynard was a choir geek like me in highschool! 😁

Any TOOLA recommendation will be a good one, they don't have any bad songs 🤘

They are all master musicians. Tool are Incredible. The tempest mate.

When this album came out I was blown away to put it mildly. I got to see them live on the 10,000 days tour. They didn't play a single song from Undertow (including Sober), they didn't play The Pot and they played a couple of songs I wasn't expecting and it was still mind blowing. I wanted the show to go on forever. You will enjoy A Perfect Circle & Puscifer as well. MJK is a freaking mad man.

This is my favorite T♡♡L song. As a 33 year army fan of this my fav band since 1990 it is the best feeling to see new T😂🤣L virgins react to each song LMAO it brings a smile to my face each every time I see a new army member join like this.

The last two minutes of that song is one of my favorite vocals part by Maynard.

haha yeah the headbanging challenges when listening to Tool. They give you that long progression of strange time signatures until they hit you with the 4/4 and the pit goes crazy.

This is the greatest song ever recorded.

Bro you're gonna enjoy this journey. You've got the thinker for it. Good stuff and much love ✊🏽

It sounds like "controlled randomness" the first time. Listen to the song 4 more times, and you will begin to hear all the different threads that make up the beautiful weave of this (and every) Tool song.

Tool: Vocalist: Maynard james Keenan (who also have two more projects: A Perfect Circle an Puscifer) Bass: Justin Chancellor Drums: Danny Carey (aka The Octopus) Guitar: Adam Jones (great visual artist too..he worked in the make up and design in Jurassic Park and Terminator movies among others) They won the Grammy in 2021 for best metal performance. Tool developed his own style and genre starting with Hard Rock as a base in the first two albums. PD: The Cnunkyness, The Choppyness, The Crunchyness. Those words stuck in my head man.. I can't stop repeating them!..LOL

Just try to sit back and take it in would be my advice. Peace! 10:30 I’m no musician but told Danny chooses to play certain parts on the *and* as in the “1 AND the two” 14:35 Maynard James Keenan is a vocalist. One of the best ever. His rhythm and taste are trancendant 16:17 moar Tool

THE GRUDGE!!! Powerhouse song!❤

There’s nothing wrong with these being the first 2 Tool songs you have reacted to; and despite getting comments to start from their first album to witness Tool’s musical journey. I believe your next reaction needs to be: Puemna - Danny Carey drum-cam by Vic Firth!! Once you see his drumming performance in that video you will get a greater appreciation of how “technical” of musicians they all are. Next few suggestions: Puemna - Danny Carey drum-cam The Grudge Vicarious

Seen them 12 times 13 will be this November 20th, 2023 in Toronto 🤘🏼🛸🤘🏼 🔃 👽👽👽🐙 🧑🏻‍🎤🎸🎸🥁

The syllables for the words are set in the fibonacci sequence. It's way more intricate than people understand

The "random snares" section, isn't; it's polyrhythms. The rest of the band are playing in 6/8 time and Danny (drummer) is playing in 5/8. So they come into synch every 30 beats, or every fifth band measure and every sixth drummer measure. 🔥🤘🏽😎 Which makes the final section (outro) sound so solid and cohesive at 4/4 time.

For me, listening to Tool is like a ride in a wild river. There are moments of peace, there are moments of craziness, but overall, there is a natural flow that you can't control.

Swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human... Spiral out, keep going.

I had to pause watching you to offer some advice some other Tool fan will eventually comment to you. Never watch the Tool music video if it’s the first time you hear their song always studio. Their music videos are made to be disturbing at times and rarely have anything to do with the song itself. They only made them so they could air their songs on MTV. Come back to their music videos on a second round later once you understand tools humor and quality. Second always have their lyrics up because Maynard the singer is a poet and has some deep shit to say. Also his voice is viewed as an instrument, his voice is in the back of the mix since the music and especially the drums are upfront. The music is the cake and his singing and lyrics are like the icing on top. Maynard James Keenan (Lead Singer and writer of all the lyrics), Danny Carey, ( a literal giant 6’7” prior jazz drummer nicknamed the Octopus because he is able to play 4 different tempos on each of his limbs.), Justin Chancellor (Best Bass Gitarist who typically plays with a pick instead of his fingers.) Last and not least Adam Jones one of the most technical and creative guitarist you will ever hear. He is the guy who designed and created the few Tool music videos. He was a movie special effects artist before joining tool, he worked with Spielberg and Tim Burton.) Best band ever! Check out Parabol/Parabola next, it was my first Tool song and they are meant to played together, try to play Parabol into Parabola without a pause. 🤜🛠️👁️🌀 Spiral Out!

Every time I see a new tool review I sit down and just wait for the new member to the fam!

That part you mentioned in the middle is the band playing in 6 but Danny is playing in 5. So that’s why the snare hits sound different every measure, but they meet up after 5 rounds of 6 for the band and 6 rounds of 5 for Danny. I love the math involved haha

Awesome seeing you being introduced to Tool. Their entire catalogue is brilliant, with pretty much no bad songs. Some more that show off some of their musical genius: Pneuma Danny Carey drum-cam, 46&2, Descending, The Grudge. Pretty much any recommendation that you get on here is guaranteed to be incredible and a musical journey

There’s music that makes you move your hips there’s music that makes you close your eyes and put your head back. Then there’s lateralis it unknowingly connects to. The human brain which is connected to the rest of the natural universe.,, overthinking over analyzing separates the body from the mind! Disconnect the rational thinking, and the song will connect to you in a natural primal way, but we are definitely not used to in today’s world

Loved the reaction mate. This is my favourite song of all time by any artist. Next up for you by Tool - The Grudge

sevsimo reacts Tool did for music in the 90s what Pink Floyd did for music in the late 60s and 70s. Both bands are so talented beyond the highest levels, and both bands pushed the envelope of what music is/can be. My fav song of all time is Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. I heard it when I was 9. I pretty much totally got it. But sadly, I didn't know the artist or title, and didn't hear it again til I was 24. Best song ever written or performed. Welcome to the Machine, bro. PLZ, PLZ, PLZ react to it. Where have you been? It's alright, we know where you've been!!!

you lucky, now you found tool i wish i could erase them from my mind so i can hear them again for first time
