In this case famous first words 💚

Do you realize what you've done? You have made most of the Tool Amry super proud with your reaction but now the real work starts. You my friend are now dipping into a very deep pool of musical brilliance. Tool for all!

Keep reacting to TOOL and the TOOL ARMY will flood your channel for you brotha! I would “Grudge” or “Lateralus” next, great reaction!!

We are watching...

If a journey is what you are looking for... start from the beginning. If you want to get the feel for their sound go with the the most popular songs: 46&2, Schism, Aenema, Lateralus. Do stick to studio audio tracks (no videos), there are some songs that go in pairs or groups of 3s. The Tool army gets cranky when those are not done together. Nice reaction

The bass player Justin chancellor is amazing bass player, who band is amazing and hopefully you check out more tool.

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments! I'll definitely jump back in very soon!

Just a few words of advice: -Don't watch the music videos for first time reactions, they can be very distracting from the music. The videos have their place, but the music should take precedence. -Most tool fans would say that lyrics are a must. I don't know what your preference is regarding lyrics, as they can also be distracting from the music, but Maynard James Keenan is a masterful lyricist. Knowing the message behind the song adds another layer of depth to the music -The tool army is large and always happy to see someone discover tool for the first time. If you do more of these videos, we will come back for more. But, as i think you already said, we can be kinda pretentious about them. It's only because we're already balls deep into the rabbit hole, and want more company. We mean good. -the tool rabbit hole can become a black hole if you're not cautious. It will suck you in and never let you leave. They really are that good of a band. You'll quickly find out that after listening to The Pot 5 more times, you'll like it even more than you already do. That doesn't change, no matter how many times you listen to the song.

No disrespect to Nightwish (I don't like it, but then again we all have different tastes and it's all good), but Tool is another type of beast. Tool has arguably the best rock/metal drummer alive and one of the all time bests, plus two other top elite musicians. And then it has Maynard on the vocals, who's hands down one of the best lyricists the world has ever know, plus someone with a great vocal range. Tool is unique, you'll never find anyone that sounds like them, because it's simply not possible. Welcome to the rabbit hole! As for your next reaction I honestly think you should go back and start with their earlier stuff so you can understand how the band evolved over time. I would start with "Hush" from Opiate, their first EP out in 1992 and from there on work your way up. "Sober" from Undertow, their first album released in 1993 is also a great choice, although for that one I would go with the live version.

46 & 2, Sober, Stinkfist, H, Ænema, Right in Two and so so many more!! Great reaction!

One of the greatest bands to ever walk the earth. Period. If you find this complex, do "The Grudge" next and your mind will be blown away. Drumwise this is a monster. I'm a drummer myself and it took me 6 month to learn this shit and I still make mistakes when I'm not in the right mood for it. By the way, stay with audio only, best way to do it. Maybe pull up some lyrics next time, deep shit.

@John-vm2sq

Yeah. My opinion is to start with the "mainstream" hits first. The Pot is a good start with minimal polyrhythm and a pretty straightforward hook/beat. Imo, the journey is complete and your ears have evolved enough when something like "Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned" becomes your favorite. Like so so so much chaos but the 8 minute build up to, "overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position, such a heavy burden now to be the one ..." To me, that was when I realized Tool was the greatest band ever. If I played Rosetta Stoned early in my Tool listening sessions, I would've been turned off immediately. Sorta similar to SOAD too. Start with simple, almost "radio-made" songs (Toxicity, Aerials, etc) and you slowly begin to appreciate the less popular, but infinitely better songs like "Radio/Video" where the band is put on full display. That's Rosetta Stoned for me. Beautiful chaos that will leave you in tears and chills be the end.

"Why aren't more bass players like this?" You mean bassists with great tone who write interesting bass lines that totally fit the music without being unnecessarily busy just for complexities' sake? Damn good question.

My suggestion is to start from very beginning, track by track, witnessing the evolution of Tool’s sound and attitude.

Subbed for more tool... love to see your reaction to "Eulogy"

Enjoy starting on your Tool journey.... Four of the best musicians you'll ever find in one band!!

I love to see someone discover Tool for the first time. Just an early heads up, many of their songs should be listened to together because they transition into one another. You don't necessarily have to do this (many of us were introduced to these songs without knowing about any of the transitions), but it will definitely enhance your experience so I'm listing them below. On their Aenima album: Intermission and Jimmy (less important, but Intermission is an interesting intro to Jimmy) On their Lateralus album: Eon Blue Apocalypse and The Patient (not necessary) Parabol and Parabola (this is a must since it's basically one song broken into two parts) Disposition, Reflection, and Triad (three songs makes it a little long, but it's a definite must; this is known as the Holy Trinity or Holy Triad) On their 10,000 Days album: Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days (again, one song in two parts) Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned (Rosetta Stoned is a story and the set up for it is in Lost Keys) Intension and Right in Two (not necessary, but Intension is a great intro to Right in Two) If you do listen to the songs together, try not to stop between the transitions or you might lose the full effect. But, most importantly, enjoy the journey. Tool usually takes multiple listens anyway to fully appreciate. Great reaction though. It looks like you'll have fun exploring the rest of their catalogue.

I love how passionately Tool Army shares its knowledge with music enthusiasts and Tool virgins. Brings smile to my face. Spiral Out Brother 😵‍💫

Now youre down a never ending wormhole

The memory of hearing this for the first time is forever erased by the overwhelming shock, confusion and wonder. The sheer euphoria completely took me out of space and time. I should have gotten naked.

The only way to react is giving everyone your true reaction. The Tool army will offer advice on songs, etc. and help color in any missing pieces. Don't stress about avoiding Tool. Tool finds you when you're ready to hear it. We get to chase the dragon watching you listen for the first time. It's not a race, it's an experience. Enjoy the ride!

One of the best explanations I have read thus far. Bravo good sir, bravo.

If you haven’t already, I would recommend the grudge. As someone who loves metal, you’ll enjoy the sound.

Great reaction, brother. It's always nice to see someone discovering tool for the first time. I think the first song(s) I ever heard was parabol and parabola and I've never heard anything like them since. Tool is its own genre, Enjoy the journey, wherever it takes you next :)

I love your sincerity and genuine facial reactions to this amazing song. I suggest Vicarious as your next adventure. Digest the lyrics too. Maynard has powerful insights into human nature.

Every Tool-reaction is highly appreciated. For a first time listen, please never watch a video but maybe look at the lyrics. Literally every song is a good song to react to, but my favs are: The Grudge, Pneuma, Vicarious and Eulogy. Cheers!

Great Reaction!!! Welcome to the TOOL ARMY!!!!

Welcome to the TOOLVERSE. 🇨🇦

WOW, you completely get it brother!! Welcome aboard🔥

Sober, Aenema, Lateralus gives a great progression through their styles. Other big songs were stinkfist, schism, prizon sex and jambi. I really think tool songs benefit from being listened to in the context of the album, particularly AEnima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days.

Start from the beginning

Good song to start down the wormhole. Have a nice journey and see you on the other side.......

The birth has begun, Tool always takes you on a journey, each song gets better and better as you will flip flop after every song stating that this is your favorite until the next.

Welcome to the spiral dude. Great video 👍 you should react to "The Grudge" by Tool. Maynard(vocals) holds a 22 second scream in it.

I started my Tool journey only about two years ago and I can't believe that I've gone through the last 30 odd years without listening to them. I'll follow your journey with Tool with great interest as I know the joy this lot have given me. Can't wait to see them live next year! So many great songs for you to react to, but Pneuma drum cam has to on your 'to react' list.

Your comment about going on a journey is so true with Tool. I have been listening to them since Aenima and they have yet to disappoint. If you have not listened to Maynard's other band A Perfect Circle, they also do not disappoint.

eyeholes deep in muddy water, give in to the undisputed beauty that is tool ,wont disappoint.

Got that "tool face" for a while there didn't ya lol

I would add Mastodon to that. This is a bit different, but the technical workshop is getting quite close to Tool. I listen to these bands alternately and in both cases it can be called a long journey. Something amazing.

I wish I could listen to Tool for the first time again

the "journey" was begin . nice react ❤️

Just start from the beginning, Opiate, Undertow, Aenema, Lateralus, Salivial, 10,000 Days, Fear Inoculom. They are all fantastic pieces of music

The beginning facial reactions say it all. Welcome to the army.

More Tool!!!! Great reaction!

There is NO bad Tool track! .

Danny, Adam, and Justin bring it! Musicians/technicians. It’s like the difference between rot-gut, and Glenlivet….

Tool is phenomenal and I hope you do the full catalog. You will not regret it. I can't imagine life without Tool's music. No offense to other bands but Tool is on a different level than 99% of other bands.

Lateralus next! Very powerful song.

Welcome to your new favorite band 🤘

Opiate and Undertow are more agro young man music - which I love. From Aenema onward they mostly just get more creative, expansive, psychedelic, spacious, sprawling, transcendent, cinematic, tribal, etc. They are masters of their instruments, but what makes it so amazing is their ability to compose such masterpieces. IMO the best music, hands down.

More Tool pretty please 🌀🤘 46&2 would be a good one for next time.

I'm into it!! I hope you do more tool I'll be with you the whole way my friend!!! I suggest parabol / parabola ..they go together!!

Welcome to the musical ride of your life! Open up and listen with your mind and body not just your ears so you can feel the art that is TOOL. You're gonna love it, better late than never.

Just discovered the magic of TOOL.Pulled me out of a dark hole after losing my Dad this summer. Thank you for making this.I danced in my kitchen along with you.You’re eyebrows and dancing gave me so much joy! Rock on buddy!

Jambi by Tool. :)

"Alot that went on in that song"....welcome to tool time. Lol

10,000 Days album, EXCELLENT!!!!!

This is probably around midway on the complexity scale for Tool. Generally they've become more complex with time, although on Lateralus they use some very bold ideas like incorporating the Fibonacci sequence and playing around with time signatures a lot. I'd go to 46 & 2 next, then maybe dip your toes into Schism, Vicarious or Culling Voices. Eventually you'll get to Rosetta Stoned, Third Eye and 7empest.

Every Tool song is an adventure

I've heard this song a million times but it still makes my eyes water up😂

try jambi....you love it👍👍

Please continue to follow the white rabbit. Epic on every song. The best tool song I ever heard was the last one I heard .

Tool Army checking in! Booya!

Fastest way to grow a KZread channel: Do TOOL reactions! If you react to it, the ToolArmy will come.

Welcome, friend.

The Tool journey begins. Gave you a thumbs up. The only thing I would recommend is if you want to say something during the song, just pause it real quickly. I couldn't hear 90% of the comments you were saying during the song.

🤘

Tool on!

Tool is an acquired taste. When Fear Inoculum came out I listened every day for 2 years. I would have told you Invincible was their best but this year I have returned to Reflection. It's not going to blow you away. It's just a beautiful song, deep and humble. It must be circulated through my system every night with my moon overhead...

Welcome to Tool!

Reviewing this with lyrics is a must. it's poetry and deserves as much detail as the music does. I don't recall you giving any reaction as far as meaning to the song? That to me is part of a music review. Not trying to bust your balls. Thanks.

You have found the tool rabbit hole. It's Tool late to go back. Lol...

It’s funny that you can bang your head to this one because there’s really only like one or two tool songs that you can bob your head to in the rhythm I’m glad you got to enjoy it though

Need to do a reaction to The Sword How Heavy This Axe if you have never heard.

This will require that you have a smoke ( even if you dont smoke), take a stroll , take a nap. And then you're gonna go ahead and listen to It again. It's a doom loop That is so good that you just can't stop yourself! Enjoy!!

The world of prog metal is vast, tool is their own flavor of prog. A newer progressive death metal band worth checking out is 'Rivers of Nihil' start with 'Where owls know my name'.
