@@XEZ22honestly for someone new to the band I would recommend Schism, 46 & 2, and Ænima

That bass… the odd time signatures really make the songs unique with the instruments playing off each other. Tool songs are typically complex with incredible music and some of the best lyrics ever put to paper…

@@Mubiki The song is absolutely jam-packed with polyrhythms though, still quite complex. It's as if they tried to make a 4/4 song sound most unlike 4/4 as possible.

As a musician I can tell you that Tool's music is extremely complex and advanced the time signature changes alone are head spinning, along with Polyphia, this is the music that musicians listen to. Songs: aenima, 46 and 2, schism sober, laterals, and my favorite , pneuma.

I agree, rhythmically Tool is very complex., harmonically and melodically, not so much. Tools performance and rhythm is more than enough to be an awesome band nonetheless.

Yes!!! Tool !!! Finally!!! Thank you!! You’ll love it Songs 46&2 and schism are great next songs to listen too!!!!

Tool is easily one of the greatest bands of all time. Their live shows are so intense

The scream on that song is one that few can reproduce. Personally I can never get enough of Maynard's voice, which is why he's in my top three favorite bands. If I were going to recommend a Tool song, it'd be the classic one, "Sober". Has more of that metal feel you're looking for.

Ahh finally you've come to TOOL!! ENJOY THE RIDE GURL!!

You did great picking up the lyrical meanings, great first reaction! The more you listen to Tool, the more you’ll see how the polyrhythms melt into the journey they are taking you on. Tool is to be experienced, not just listened to. Pull lyrics and dig into the depths that Tool drags you to! It’s a hell of a ride.

You did really well, and The Pot is the best introductory song to Tool. Please react to 46 & 2 next, and then Sober, Lateralus, Schism, and then Pneuma. Pneuma you want to hear the studio version with lyrics first, and then watch the Vic Firth Danny Carey drum cam version of it. Finally, Pushit and Pushit (Salival.) This completes the top layer introduction to Tool.

Been watching you react to Em for a while now, so not surprised at the speed with which you're picking up the message. Impressed, not surprised. And, I must say it's fantastic to get to watch you discover Tool. Keep up the great work!

Oh my another early Christmas present 🎁 Lilly J. and one of the greatest bands ever. Was picking up on Maynard lyrics, kuddos to you! He is a lyrics genius. Vicarious, The Grudge, Aenima, Prison Sex, Stinkfist, Schism. Give it a few the Tool Army will be showing up. "TOOL" NUFF said. Always good to see you and your positive energy. Happy Holidays

Lilly jane got some pot!!! 🤣🔥🙌

I have recently discovered Tool and have watched probably over 50 reactions to The Pot. You are the first one who has picked up on the actual meaning of the song in the first listen, with no lyrics, or song notes. Great ear. Outstanding!

Welcome in the world of Tool. The rabbit hole goes much deeper. You will enjoy the tour in their music world.

Great reaction vid. Tool will grow on you. They're definitely worth checking out again. You won't regret it. Bands liek them don't come around often in one's life. If you like guitar, check out "Descending" by them. Great solos and the vibe of the song is indescribable. Truly takes you on a journey. Cheers and spiral out 👁🙌🏼

Tool is known for their on off bear time signatures, and heavy bass signs. I’m glad you really enjoyed the song! Also, to answer question towards the beginning of what bands to react, I highly suggest Nightwish !!! But this is a band that you NEED to watch live performances.

WOW!! You get it!!! Enjoy the journey… 🔥👽TOOL👽🔥

Yay I been waiting and hoping you'd get to do tool!

The TOOL rabbit hole goes deep!🤘

Lyrically, Aenima is my absolute favorite🖤it's exactly what needs to happen to the world right now! If you wanna hear his long scream then you gotta hear The Grudge! Everything they do is perfection!

Wow...literally just ran across your channel by looking up a lil wayne reaction. Now that i'm subscribed, you hit me with the tool reaction???? am i in heaven? lol

Lilly going deep into metal ❤

The creativity of Tool is extraordinary!

funny i saw you had uploaded this just days ago when i wanted to listen to the song 😂 i recommend Parabola too and my favorite Reflection! very strong awesome songs by them 😍

Turn this way up ..and open your mind and heart 🔥🔥🔥🔨Toolarmy

This was the first tool song I listened to ever when my friend brought a cd of his to my place

Great reaction.

I give this reaction 2 thumbs up. This was legit so fun to watch.

Motionless in white! Pretty much anything from their album "scoring the end of the world" or "disguise" are my favorites especially the opening tracks

Greetings. Great reaction! I'm very impressed by how much you picked up on right off the bat. I know people who've listened to Tool for a couple decade who wouldn't have gotten all that from a first listen, so Bravo! As far as which songs to check out? All of them. If you are looking for something hard, Ticks and Leeches is pretty driving. Pushit (in my opinion, is Adam Jones (guitarist) best work). Lateralus and Pneuma (Pneuma just beat Lateralus as my favorite song) are each impeccable musically and in message. The Grudge, you really should check out The Grudge at some point. You'll know why when you hear it, it's related to something you said in this video. But it's kind of hard to go wrong with Tool. Now that you've opened the door, it's time to swing on the spiral.

Opeth - Reveries/Harlequin Forest! You’ll love it 😁

Now ya gone and done it! Welcome to Tool!

Tool is my fav band.. and you could do their entire discography and I'd probably watch :D

Great reaction

You can always tell when it's someone's first time listening to tool by watching their face as Danny switches up the count

Here we go!

I love TOOL's music, my favorite albums are Ænima (1996), Lateralus (2001) and 10,000 Days (2006), also love all members projects and other bands like Maynard James Keenan's work with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Danny Carey's work with Volto! and Pigmy Love Circus, Green Jellö, and Justin Chancellor's work with Peach.

Welcome to Rockville Festival 2023 has Pusifer AND Tool scheduled. I can't wait.

Would love to see Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura. That band is worth a deep dive as well. Not to mention if you cover anything Sepultura, you'll gain like 20,000 Brazilian followers.

Just enjoy the ride, you're comprehension is great for a new fan!

You need to explore all of TOOL's music, over 30 years and still creating amazing music, they are the most unique band I've ever heard, the musicians are excellent! Maynard tells it like it is, I would read all the lyrics

Great reaction! Really excited for you to start your TOOL journey, it is quite the rabbit hole to say the least. Perfect stoner music too, in my opinion. The lyrics are always very clever and will get you thinking deeply while the insane time signatures and pure raw musical talent of these musicians will keep you on your toes, guessing at what is coming next. You really can't go wrong with any of their songs, though there are a few that are meant to be listened to together: - Parabol + Parabola - Disposition + Reflection + Triad [otherwise known as "The Holy Trinity"] - Wings For Marie (Pt 1) + 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) - Lost Keys (Blame Hofman) + Rosetta Stoned - Intension + Right In Two As far as which one I would recommend next, I think Lateralus is a good song to branch off of from here. SPIRAL OUT!!! 🌀

One of my top 5 songs for Tool and I'm so glad your finally giving them a shot. If u looking to really branch out might I suggest The Posthumous Letter - William Control. Again - Flyleaf Dance with the Devil - Breaking Benjamin.

Tool...Eulogy. It is one of their best songs. Aenima is another great one by them. The lyrics in Eulogy are chilling and Aenima's lyrics are more relevant now than they were the well over 20 years ago they were written. They really are one of the best bands to come out of the 90s.

Watching people trying to groove to Tool for the first time is one of my fav hobbies now lol. Just when they think they are grooving.... their not

You should check out every tool song. Start from the beginning and listen to the whole catalog.

WOW I'm very impressed with how quick you caught on to what his lyrics mean. I grew up listening tool ever since 1994 and not many people that I've grown up with that also listen to Tool caught on that quick to any of his lyrics and what they are all about in any of Maynard Keenan's lyrical genius. If you really like this you're about to get your mind blown once you get into the tool rabbit hole.

Tool are legends... a very good band to begin with. my favorite band is Jinjer, if you check them out I'd suggest starting with "Pisces (Live Session)". they are progressive metal. other bands I'd suggest and their song: Slipknot "Duality" and "Psychosocial" System of a Down "Chop Suey" and "Toxicity" I hope you enjoy your trip into the world of metal, Lilly Jane!

Watching youngster listening and reacting to Tool; we still have hope...

Also 46&2 is usually what should come next when you listen to tool 🌀👁️🌀

In this moment is really good too. Awesome messages and Maria brink the lead singer is awesome

Tool is the best band. Every, damn, song!

It's "weeping shades of coinzened indigo" which is essentially crocodile tears (insincere tears of sorrow). I had to look it up. I believe the addition of lemon juice is to help cry fake tears on command/in the public eye. LOL I love how The Pot's music is constantly constructing and deconstructing itself.

"Dude, what time signature was that?" "Yes"

Yes, please continue to dive here..

You said at the beginning that you wanted to explore more bands and do less deep dives, and then you listen to a Tool song. Ha! The deepest dive there is. Very good reaction, though. I appreciate the lyrical interpretation and the honesty. I subscribed. I know that most deep dives don't usually do entire catalogues, but there are a lot of channels that have done all of Tool (yes, I laughed, too, when I wrote that). I'd be curious what that stat is, but I bet it would surprise people. There are many incredible band suggestions coming your way, many worthy of that honor, too. But there seems to be a reason that Tool so many.

You're not going to regret the Tool rabbit hole!

You're much smarter than they want you to be. Thanks for the reaction! Peace in 2023!

Listen to their song called The Grudge. It is about holding grudges and how they will destroy you. EPIC SCREAM!

Exodus no Love. Best metal song ever written. Hands 👇

Lamb Of God🤘🏼

Awww, HELL yeah! Lil, you are SO gonna enjoy this rabbit hole! You are so perceptive when you disect lyrics, you're gonna love Maynard's snarky sarcasm and double entendres. The odd time signatures and multi polyrhythms Tool's known for may throw you a bit at first, but after listening to a few songs, you'll get the hang of their style. As far as suggestions go, "46 And 2", their Led Zeppelin cover "No Quarter", and "Parable/Parabola" are musts.

Please do a lot more TooL! The more you listen, the more you understand and evolve with it🤘🔥

Tool is a weird band and has one of the largest diehard fanbases... Their philosophy as a band is still "heard, not seen"... Their sound is groove and simplicity w/ instrumental complexity... Their catalog of music is quality over quantity - only 6 studio albums since 1992. Their concerts are an experience. The band was formed around 1991 by Adam Jones (guitar), Danny Carey (drums), Maynard James Keenan (vocals)... Paul D'Amour (bass) did the 1st 2 records, then was replaced by Justin Chancellor (bass) in 1996... They were named after their backyard tool shed 😂 First release in 1992 was an EP 'Opiate'... followed by a full album 'Undertow' (1993) which got two 'claymation' music videos on MTV (Adam Jones is also a visual special effects wizard), and the album went gold, then platinum (1 million copies sold) by '95. 'Aenima' (1996) charted at #2 in the US and was a bigger hit w/ more special effects music videos for 'Stinkfist' (debuted on MTV as 'Track #1') and 'Aenima'... the record sold 3x platinum. However, legal troubles w/ their record label put the next album on hold... Maynard James Keenan formed a new band A Perfect Circle and their 2000 debut album 'Mer de noms' sold platinum in the US w/ the singles 'Judith' and '3 Libras'. Tool finally released 'Lateralus' (2001) and it charted at #1 and sold 3x platinum... the album also marked longer and more complex songs for Tool... Their concerts were a visual extravaganza. Unlike most singers, Maynard James Keenan preferred to sing from the back of the stage in the shadows... Next album '10,000 days' also debuted at #1 in 2006 and sold 2x platinum. There would be a long wait for the next Tool album... 13 years. The band was mired in legal troubles and toured often... but new music was slow to develop. Finally, the album 'Fear inoculum' was released in 2019 and was another #1 hit.

@@Nicholas_Burmeister Well, lyrics are always open to interpretation... but the song lyrics referred to "cozened indigo" which refers to "fake" or "deceptive" ... Now, Tool has a song called "Third eye"... it's represented by the color electric indigo, which is a New Age Philosophy that teaches intuition & spiritual knowledge of the 6th 'chakra' or third eye. Perhaps, Maynard was simply calling out a phony who preaches New Age Spirituality, but is simply trying to get attention or sympathy ("lemon juice up in your eye" which indicates fake tears 😭) It goes w/ the theme of the lyrics - calling out fake people for spouting BS... Another way to look at this is indigo tears stains from eye makeup... When women cry, their eye makeup runs down their face and stains their faces. That's a simpler interpretation - fake tears w/ fake shade running down their face. Again, up to the listener... but it refers to a phony.

The song is about Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin were accused of ripping off other artists songs. The reference to Muddy Waters proves this point.

You should react to Judith by A Perfect Circle. It's another band with the same lead singer from Tool.

That bass thunders 🔥

This album is awesome!! crazy part is this is only my fourth favorite song on this album!!

Lilly Jane in the house!!

Can't go wrong with Tool. A couple bands I didn't see on your channel are Unleash The Archers from Canada and Alien Weaponry from New Zealand. Most first timers for UAT start with "Awakening" the full band play through video or "Tonight We Ride". The video for "Tonight We Ride" is very Mad Max. The lead vocalist Britnney Hayes, aka Britnney "Slays", is a powerhouse and the musicianship is TIGHT. If you like guitar solos start with "Awakening" and pay close attention to the bass player. I've only recently started listening to Alien Weaponry so I can't make any educated suggestions, plus I can't pronounce most of the song titles LOL. Most of their lyrics are sung in the Maori language and the song titles are also mostly Maori. I think "Kai Tungata" is what most people start with, the video is crazy. I can detect some Tool influences here and there in some of there music but they don't sound like Tool.

This is my favorite band

Dream Theater Gojira Powerwolf Ghost Behemoth Unleash the archers Just a few worth reacting

Tool was actually one of the bands that got me started on progressive rock. And the thing about tool is no song of theirs sounds exactly the same, nor does it follow the same formula. which is what makes this band unique in so many different ways. And you are correct about the song being a different time signatures because it most certainly is. The song is actually in kind of a series of different time signatures, and this is only scratching the surface of what this band can do.

Schism Is another banger from Tool the opening bass riff is a favorite of mine check it out Lily

More tool!

Pantera 😢 ~ Mouth for War ~ Cemetery Gates ~ The Sleep ~ Suicide Note 1&2 ~ Slaughtered

You did your homework before watching, that’s a smart move! It really helps give an informed reaction. Other songs by Tool to react to: Sober live (Pro Shot), Schism, Forty Six & 2, and the must see Danny Carey Cam of Pneuma!

Tool is a deep rabbit hole

Schism was the first song that drew me in but Lateralus is what made me fall in love

Welcome to the Spiral! Tool songs are all great, My personal favorite is 46&2 or Lateralus for instance which was written using the Fibonacci Sequence! Great reaction! You should also check out Maynard James Keenan's other bands Puscifer and A Perfect Circle! Each has their own unique sound.

Tool are the brains of metal. Most lyrics have double meaning and no song had just 1 time signature. However like Rush make all the complexity digestible. Start at begging Black Sabbath’s ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’. They started many genre of metal

8:19 i LOVE the way he sings high/eye there.

More please :)

Tool Parabol and Parabola, Parabol is sort of an interlude to the latter so it's highly recommended to do both in one video

Tool will give you heavy and everything else. This is a great song but it's a starter song for more radio play. Dig in and you will get hooked. The song H. hits hard and Eulogy are good ones among many others.
