Kangaroo is referring to "Kangaroo court". Meaning: "A court whose proceedings deviate so far from accepted legal norms that they can no longer be considered fair or just."

I saw Tool in the early 2000's at San Diego Street Scene. A mosh pit formed, I think perhaps there was a bit of a scuffle, so Maynard told them to stop or they would end the set. It took 5 mins but people chilled out and Tool continued.

@@junkymcjunkster I also saw them for the first time in 2002 at Ozzfest in Portugal and there was a bit of a mosh pit and it was weird, but they closed that show (Ozzy was ill and didn't perform) after Slayer, so I guess the crowd was still a bit wild. But that was basically the only time I saw mosh in a Tool concert and I've seen them 3 times after that.

Their entire discography is phenomenal. They don't have bad albums. Those albums don't have bad songs. Each album is almost a different layer of an onion. Or maybe the same wine, but now it's aged properly, and the complexity of the wine changes over time.

The line weeping shades of indigo is an allusion to fake tears. Back in the early days of cinema they would put lemon juice in the actors eyes to enable them to cry but the juice would cause their eyes to appear Indigo on screen a colour which doesn't appear anywhere in nature and has to be man made. I believe this song is aimed at a particular district attorney who built his career on a hard-line stand against even minor drug offences until he got caught involved in a police sting involved with large scale marijuana distribution.

Maynards vocals are incredible, do not forget about Danny Carrey on those drums! He is a freaking drum God

Every TOOL song is nasty and the lyrics pulled up ALWAYS make the context of what you're hearing make sense. Often the lyrics can have multiple meanings or apply to you and not me but I get something from them you may not. They do everything with intention. In high school in the 90s, I jammed to their sound and liked them. In 2019 I picked them up again and zeroed in on the meanings of the songs and it make their whole discography brand new to me and by far my favorite band. Keep 'em coming!

Next one should be 46&2 from TOOL. Pull them lyrics up. You’ll need them. A lot of it has to do with how Maynard’s voice is mixed within the song. It doesn’t overpower the instruments in any way.

@matthew6427

Love 46&2 but it's hard to understand it without a psych major, or an impressive amount of knowledge in things like biology and Jung. I remember hearing it in high school and diving into those subjects though, so maybe it would be a good idea?

I never clicked on one of your videos with such speed. Welcome to the TOOL rabbit hole brother. Spiral out and keep going 🌀👁️🌀

Should listen to their song "Lateralus" next. or maybe "Schism"

Loving that you are on Tool now (have been enjoying your Ren reactions). I would highly recommend you check the drum cam vid of Danny Carey on Pneuma....he has to be one of the GOATs...watch and be amazed.

Also most people miss the second Black Kettle reference. Black Kettle was an Indian chief, and you should look up his story to really get the rest of the meaning in this song.

I know you like listening to the lyrics to pick what you can, but I appreciate looking up the lyrics for Tool. Tbh - rock lyrics are kinda like hiphop, if you're ear isn't trained for rock, it makes much more sense to look them up! Don't worry Cliff, we will train your ear for rock lyrics!!!! Youll LOVE Tool when you hear more songs! 😁😁😁😁😁❤️

Awwwwww YEAH!! Here we go!!! Please, please, PLEASE react to more TOOL! I have been entranced since the early 90s and can’t think of a band I could listen to and watch others react to more. Spiral out my friend 🌀 👁️🌀

Please do Lateralus by TOOL!

My fav line “pissing all over my black kettle” referring to the title plus using “you musta been high” as a double meaning on Pot 🤩 fucking love me some Tool. And Danny Carey is a God.

I was born in DC in 71 & was in my 20’s in the 90’s & man….yall wanna talk about fun?!? 😉I really enjoy watching people discover bands-music from that era 🖤especially Tool,Soundgarden & Rage

Vicarious would be a next TOOL song that would be great to react to!

Oh man, did NOT expect this. Awesome. Hope you get to do some more of their songs. Or just all, they're amazing. Edit: Wait you did more... wtf how did i miss that. Assuming you want heavy. Jambi is an amazing track. But honestly, you can pick almost any single track and it will be great to listen to (except some of the 'intermission' tracks maybe)

Be sure to check it The Grudge, if you haven't heard it yet.

I'd love to hear you react to their song Ænema. Maynard is an ingenious lyricist. I love the more bass heavy approach that allows the guitar to stretch out and breathe creating more with less.

Check out the grudge! One of my favorites… Very heavy

One of the most important things you’ve ever said in your life is I need to go listen to some more TOOL. It’s the first time I’ve watched your channel but their music will change your life. It sounds overstated, but I can’t tell you how many people have said, their music has changed their life. There’s no other band like them, they are the best I don’t give a shit what anyone says when you combine all of their skills you have the best band of all time. Go watch them live even though he’s about 60 it will still be one of the best shows you’ve ever seen not like when I saw them in the 90s but still amazingthe drummer, you won’t find anyone better. Go to watch him alone.

I saw them when this album came out in a little theater. There was such a collective love amongst the crowd. The bass made the theatre walls shake.

This whole album rocks like this.

Go down that tool rabbit hole brother! You won’t regret it!

The indigo reference is about a shade of blue also used to make actors cry but the Lemmon juice makes the tears a funny shade of blue.

intolerance is one of my favs and I went to that show in Milwaukee it was amazing...... been wanting to go since i was 12 and i'm 43 now haha. Wont lie I had tears of joy.

Always here for new people listening to this Led Zepplin diss

Let’s go!!! Tool army here !

Oh my gosh! I’m so excited! I love tool!!! they are in my top 10 band of all time.

8:23 - "Weeping shades of cozened indigo, got lemon juice up in your eye" - Cozened indigo in this case is feigned emotion to attempt to look "holier than thou", and the "lemon juice" is talking about faked tears.

Yeahhhh toool Danny Carey drum cam is awesome

Right in Two is a MUST

LOL Cliff, love your rock-face!

I've been listening to Tool since high school in in 90s but only saw them live a month ago. I never thought they could be a great live band but was SO wrong. Every member played perfectly, the sound engineering felt studio quality, and Maynard sang pitch perfectly from beginning to end. He may have cheated a few cut short screams during the first half, but after the intermission, he held every note including "MINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" at the end of The Pot. Amazing.

Here for more Tool.

THE GRUDGE!!!!!! 🤟

46&2 is an old one but one of my favs! It goes hard! And yes you must listen to more tool! And they’re as amazing live as you can imagine!!

Love the Sox hat. I'm from Chicago. You definitely need more Tool in your life. I would recommend the grudge next. But any song anybody is recommending will be great

I thought you were leaving? Glad you’re still plugging away at it!!

Bro just discovers tool and made his tool hard. Bro so much to dive into. The drummer is one of the world's best. The singer is Balck belt bj they are nuts welcome to the rabbit hole brother

The grudge

TOOLARMY 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Finally! I requested Tool a year ago lol

The story as I understand it it is there was a prosecutor in Az who was convicting people for drug charges, one of Maynard’s friends got busted and sent away. The same prosecutor was later busted in a hotel with prostitutes and a bunch of drugs

Tool army is coming

Recently discovered night verses and I think they are a supporting act for Tool. Similar great instrumental

Highly recommend: Tool - Fibonacci in Lateralus. Lateralus is the name of the song, but the video explains how they use math in their composition, while showing pictures of space. Very appropo 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Hello ,yes

Jambi is my favorite song on that album. I think you would like it too.

Now we're talkin'. Tool ftw

Mosh pits stop when tool comes on... the groove it just too tasty.😂

I hope you made it to that show, bro. There's no mistake in saying Tool is possibly and arguably the greatest band of all time.

Just wait til you breakdown Lateralus!! Literally the perfect song. Spiral Out 🤙

judith by tool is a great song; it's about his mother who was deemed not faithful enough by the church after she was paralyzed by a stroke. it's a great track to see people react to, it's by A Perfect Circle but maynard is still the vocalist

song: Judith (same singer...different band!) band: A Perfect Circle

They have so many good songs. Let's go!

Amazing reaction. Wish I could have included it in my compilation! I'm sure there are a few songs you've covered I'll be compiling in the future. Love your stuff.

There are a lot of mixed idioms in this song. "When you piss all over my black kettle" is a combination of "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining" and "Pot calling the kettle black".

I must have heard this song 10000 times, but I’m here for the algo 🌀🤘 “Liar, lawyer, mirror show me what’s the difference?”

I love this band so much ❤

Just joined. More Tool please

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.❤️❤️❤️👵🏼Gmaw

THE POT, calling the kettle black.

Dude...no mosh pits...I cried through the first 5 songs....its an experience.....Spiral out!

and then 10 years later we have a kangaroo stoned to death. Tool is the new simpsons

This song also refers back to stinkfist from the Aenima album.

Nothin but love Cliff!! Thanx for all you do.

Can’t wait to see them live for the first time next month at MSG.

yes, Please review more tool videos.

Yes more T00L!!! Here for it! 🌀

they call a corrupt court kangaroo court

🔥

Pneuma is another great one

Important to know, the 3 musicians write their parts and handover the completed song and Maynard writes the lyrics and vocals over it. He's a brilliant poet. You'll love every single song.

would be amazing to see you react to Slaughter to Prevail's Viking one-take playthrough by their vocalist Alex Terrible, I think you'd like it even if it is on the heavier side of what you've reacted to up to this point :P

Not many mosh pits at tool concerts anymore. People just kinda chill and take in the music. Those of us who have been here since the beginning are in our 40s now, we're not trying to break a hip.

I like how you're like let me check the lyrics to make sure I'm hearing it right. Then as you start typing it into Google it comes up as a previous search. 😂

Been trying to think about a good next step for you & I would suggest either 'Right In Two' for a lighter song with incredible lyrics, or 'The Grudge' for another heavy banger, or 'Parabol'->'Parabola' for crazy melody & a middle ground of light & heavy. Either way though, this was great & I'm looking forward to the next one ✌️

Every Tool song is great. Undertow is the most in your face album, my favorite tool album

Nobody at tool concert moshpits any more

React or at least LISTEN to more TOOL. Truly Genius level musicians in every single way.

I love me some Tool 🫶🏽🎶 keep going do some more Tool please ( The grudge ) 😉🌀🌀🌀🌀Tool4life 🤘🏽

Multiple meanings with this poetry. The pot calling the kettle black. but also Black Kettle was an Indian chief. Maynard is very clever. so yeah not just about the obvious weed reference.

Wings for Marie, Rosetta Stoned, 10,000 days

Haha... No! I'd say you haven't heard much Tool. The Pot is one of their radio-friendliest, like "Sober." I think you should def spin, "Ænima". The combo between lyrics and music gets me amped. Here you want to run through a brick wall. With Ænima I can lift heaven and hurl mountains. Looking forward to much, much more!

Never seen a mosh pit at a Tool show. Lots of grey beards and mama bears though , plenty of weed.

Yessir. More Tool homie. You'll dig them. The vocalist is typically what people notice first but the entire band is crazy good. The lead singer has three successful touring bands. He also has an award winning vineyard and has a black belt in Brazilian JuJitsu. And yeah. We're all lazy by comparison lol
