Preston. Thank you for this. And, once again, you’re on the correct path of thought. You referenced the many different interpretations of this song; and that, in itself, acknowledges the essence of Tool. The lyrics certainly come from a personal space for Maynard, but they’re written in a way that can be interpreted differently by different people and applied to their unique circumstances. This song helped save my marriage. I always liked this song. But, as my marriage approached a crash landing, The Grudge helped me through the darkest time of my life. At that point, I truly understood the song, for me, on an emotional level. Every. Fucking. Detail. To me, this song represents our desire to hold onto grudges as a feeling of power over those who have hurt us and the need to release that anger and let go in order to heal our wounds and repair those relationships. Even the otherworldly scream bear the end- I’ve learned to appreciate understand and feel every last second of it. It wasn’t some self-indulgent display of an amazing vocalist. That was the honest primal desire and attempt to exorcise the pain of transgression and the resulting anger- to rid oneself of their grudge- so that they may heal and become whole again. So that the subject can move on and repair the damaged relationship. He wants nothing more in life and that urge can be felt through every last second of that scream. I cannot count the number of tears I’ve shed at that point in that song. It still rocks me to my core. Thank you for your incredible reviews Preston. Keep on keepin’ on Brother.

Jon-Paul, thanks for explaining Tool perfectly, and with a very personal story to wrap it all up. Maynard never tells people the reasons behind his songs for the exact situation you were in. The meeting if Tools songs are never if rarely one dimensional. The image between the stone, cornerstone, the one or many grudges, the eroding of everything by the water transmutating it, being fluid in life, taking the lead and making something beautiful/rich out of it. It inspires me today to make sure my friendships and loves are built with meaningful stones that will withstand the sands of time.

Makes a lot of sense. I've been in group therapy sessions and heard people SCREAM and RAGE out their grudges, addictions, darkness, anger - even done it myself. Holding on to a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Every single bad emotion you feel happens in you, not in them, so you have to bear all the crap you want someone else, who knows nothing of your pain, to have. Letting go is freedom. Holding on is emotional self-imprisonment.

It's only the opening song to one of the best albums ever written...

What I mean is, as soon as you hear a Tool or Floyd guitar/bass/drum riff, you KNOW that's them, long before the lead singer has ever uttered a word.

Im not too much into tool’s music released before aenima. Its not bad and that period is very important in the context of their history, showing their evolution. But its too dark and depressively destructive for me, though very talented already. But after Maynard overcame some psychological problems and stopped expressing mainly pain and opposition, and added spirituality - tool’s art started resonating with me way much more. So, as i said, the early period is an important part of the whole experience, but not that satisfying and harmonic to be influenced by.

The whole format for Lateralus is based on the progression through the Tree of Life. The first node is Malkuth (Kingdom). The tenth node is Keter/Kether (Crown). So "Choose One or Ten... The One, The Ten" is the first and last, the alpha and omega, but it also implies that the Tree is inverted back on top of itself. That the Kingdom of Earth/Matter is not just a trap of drudgery, grime, pain, depression, and anxiety, but actually integral to the process of releasing attachments to those things, i.e. "Give away the stone" and "leaden grudges into gold". Saturn, in astrology, represents the intense manifestation of karmic debt "Drags you down like a stone, or lifts you up again". So all our misdeeds are judged and punished with impunity. In short, it's payback time. However, by working through them, doing the work, serving the time, or generally analyzing our own flaws, we are given the key to break out of the illusion of pain for our earthly toil, allowed a salvation, or a baptism "Let the waters kiss and transmutate". And if we grip to our egos, our pride, define our realities by our blind spots, "This cold and fated anchor", and refuse to let the illusion of reality dissolve around us, then the Cosmic forces will put you in your place, "Sinking Deeper" in our personal prisons. Eventually we must Let GO of the idea of control, the need to attempt to define or manipulate things which are ultimately outside of our basic understandings.

Also regarding Saturn, when Maynard references Saturn coming back around, I believe he’s referring to what is called the Saturn Return in astrology. Saturn takes 29.5 years to make a full revolution around the sun. When you are around 29.5 years old, give or take, Saturn will conjunction your natal Sun, which usually shakes things the fuck up in your life. Saturn is about responsibility, limitations, karma... he’s like a judgmental father, or the teacher with the most difficult assignments that you hated but you learned the most from. Basically, the return will show you where you’ve fucked up in life and where you’ve succeed and you will choose to either take accountability and continue to aim toward becoming your best Self, or you can hold a grudge or become resentful and turn your back on personal responsibility, which can only bring ruin. People usually notice a lot of changes around 30 years old....

Stinkfist is short, and it's a classic. Highly recommended

Grudge may be the best opening song on any album. Just sets the tone and gets you amped for what’s coming. And if you want chaos, you gotta do Third Eye. That song is a journey like no other.

“TOOL IS JUST DIFFERENT!!!” Best anyone’s ever put it!!’

I was 12 years old when this first hit my eardrums, I've never looked back since!

Yep. You said... nobody even comes close to TooL.. they're "just different" - and I also like the Pink Floyd mention - something I think a lot of people would agree with. I first heard TooL in '96 on the radio - Stinkfist.. during the grunge era, and was immediately drawn in thinking "holy shit, what is this?!?!" - unlike anything I'd ever heard before. Once I began to dig into the lyrics and put the meaning to the depth of the music, it literally changed my life, and as I've told many people, became a road map to higher consciousness. And it is virtually impossible to rate their songs, as they're each an epic journey of their own (at least since Aenima). I just stumbled on you and I'm loving watching your reactions, because it's reminding me of why I love TooL so much, and the overwhelming feelings it induces. As for this song's meanings, it's probably already been said, but it revolves around the "Saturn Return" - a supposed astrological event that can be learned about by googling it. It's said to happen every 29 years (iirc) in our lifetime, and I can say that I personally had this experience myself. He's referencing the choice we have to hold onto our grudges, our old ways, the destructive ways of the mind and ego, and to sink deeper into this cycle.... or to LET GO, transmutate, and rise higher, the way of spirit and higher consciousness.

Nah I think The Patient is a little worse but it's an amazing song

A Perfect Circle - Disillusioned

The Grudge ending is certifiably epic.

Tool is on another level. You need to seem live. Changed my life back in ‘98. Props

I was stoked for 2020. hopefully 2021 can have shows. hate to think we just possibly got the last tool album.

It's just a good song to remind people the weight and burden of grudges. Awesome reaction video as always. Cannot wait to hear about your first TOOL concert! :)

Tool - Third Eye (Salival Version)

I give this song 10 "Hold on, BRUHHHHHs." Out of 10 "Hold on, BRUHHHHs"

when I was tripping, and I heard that "let this go...choose to" I just entered a new dimension.

Tool is on another level, damn :0

In the 90s, most every musician from every huge band at some point was seen wearing a Tool t-shirt while performing. All the best bands from that time thought Tool was in a league of their own. Really cool seeing people have that realization on their own decades later :)

I’ve heard a ton of bands, and Tool is still my favorite

I loved watching that with you bruh. That shit is deep!

I've been on a two hour trip thru the KZread wormhole. I've seen many of your previous reaction video but I just got caught up in watching your Tool reactions. Haha. I love it. I'm not even that big of a Tool fan. But I LOVE seeing someone discover something new that intrigues them, makes them think, and bring them joy.

I think it makes me very happy to see that my favorite band makes you so happy. Hope you get to see them live soon!!!

Yes, I'm always waiting for Tool. Keep 'em coming.

I'm not certain, but my take on many of Tools songs is for them to be an individual introspective experience that you draw your own meaning from.

You’re my favorite reactor you get it. We get you spiral out my friend. I’ll carry you in my heart to all of my concerts

Janes Addiction - Three Days - is a must. One of the best rock songs ever written. Different, but an epic journey, similar to a Tool song.

Great song

If you wanna know a band that comes close to tool is Maynard James Keenan’s other band A PERFECT CIRCLE. it’s like tools sister it a a feminine softer sound to it but his voice really shines in this band. a really good song is THE PACKAGE

Davin Dew A-motherfucking-men!!! I have described the two as exactly that. Tool is the more divine masculine and A Perfect Circle as the divine feminine. The Package is my favourite song, their live performance is the best version of the song as well. The Hollow & Pet & 3 Libras.. gaaaaaah 💦 I really think he needs to also listen to The Humbling River by Puscifer, and if you haven’t then you need to. It’s the baby, but it’s pure fucking music & lyrical magic 💙

I just started watching you today and as each song experience passes, I see YOU evolving... Such a wonderful thing to see😂

Love your reaction man. Love how you're genuinely pulled in. For sure it's beats, melodies and riffs that catch you at first, but then...you start to hear and analyze and it will take you somewhere else.

There doesn't need to be one single meaning - it's art. That's the beauty of it. Glad to go on this Tool journey with you, brother!

There is a very specific meaning to this song, though. It's ok to not understand it fully. It should inspire you to dig deeper. Understanding the very occult reasoning behind the song. THAT'S WHY THEY WROTE IT.

Bro there is no such thing as a bad Tool song. I haven't heard one yet. You should definitely dig more into more Alice in chains or check out Mad season

@@kevinpritts1077 I know what you mean...I get that way when I hear certain songs of theirs. You know his struggle in his lyrics. And it was like that hard on their first 2 albums. I didn't understand it until I got older I just liked the music and Layne's voice. I was in Jr high when dirt came out.

The last 30 seconds is the surrender, the letting go of the worry, guilt and resentment in any situation. The scream before is the releasing point. This song has helped me get through shit more than words can describe.

Your Tool reaction videos are the only youtubes I ever re-watch. The most genuine reaction and enjoyment Ive seen of my favorite band. You get it, welcome to the club. Please do the new album when it comes out (soon?).

Tool songs have a different meaning and feeling every time you listen to them. I think you could study tool lyrics for years and never fully understand them lol

Maynard and tool have been on a journey through the shadow....or, the spirit world, if you like that term better. They have learned the secrets to the fibinatchi sequence, 46 and 2, the eye of Saturn, ascension, the serpents of light and so much more. The music and lyrics are like a audio adaptation of their journey. Their music can be appreciated on every lvl, but the underlying message woven through all their music is very very spiritual and meant to be seen through the 3rd eye. This would take at least an hour of writing to explain the short version, and that would be cruel butchering of the thesis. Only adepts of the highest rank of the opened 3rd eye (white and red) would understand.

@@OrphanCrippler1 I mean.....really....how can someone really say they listen to any of Maynard's creations and say that he doesn't believe in the 3rd eye. Yes, he has read Jung, yes he has read the gnostic....but c'mon brah. Maynard has been into all the deep shit. Deep ass shit like you can't even imagine. As a long time mucisian and lyricist myself, I tell you to go deeper, then go DEEPER, then go plus ultra DEEPER, then.....go deeper still. Dont stop till you push the envelope and watch it bend. Then you gotta spiral out till you become a perfect circle. Then once your tool becones a Pucifer, you push it till it becomes a Tool again. You can't do this completely sober, so do some H and try to make it through the shadow and come out 46+2. If you fail to understand....just stop listening to Tool altogether and switch to....IDK....justin beeber or whatever.....dam kids these days....

I know I'm one of the people who was suggesting this one forever! I'm stoked you listened to it, it's always been one of my favorites. You wanna hear another song where Maynard is absolutely brutal, check out Jerk Off from Opiate. It's actually a live recording which makes it even better hearing how gnarly Maynard can actually be. Keep it up dude you're the best react channel on here

I Love This. I hope you get to see Tool Live at least once in your lifetime. Thank you Preston! Keep doing what you do

By far the best reaction to a tool song... lol thumbs up and now i gott watch these other videos of yours.. this was the first video ive seen of yours but it was better than previously seen vids. Keep it going bro.

"FLAWLESS VICTORY!!" Absolutely loved that. Hearing them open with that live was nothing shy of amazing! Great reaction/review!!

Your reaction to that primal scream is Epic! Love this band and I LOVE how you open up to new genres and experiences. I'm a fan

Meaning of the song: It's about holding on to a grudge and how it messed with you and the world around you.

Awesome song

Everytime I listen to the Grudge it blows my mind
