I was just thinking this!

A track that is at least 20 years old described as fresh. Yes, that is Tool.

I am not religious; I am spiritual. This song brings out emotions I never knew I had. "Imagine being side by side and you're divided" Great quote my man.

Maynard has said that while he's not "religious" he acknowledged we must believe in a higher power, regardless of whether it exists, because statistically speaking we become "mundane and feckless". Maynard obviously had a really bad experience with his mom's religion which disregarded her after her illness, but even he realizes if we stray from a higher power we just disintegrate ourselves. Very true and very interesting stuff.

TOOL has been the soundtrack of my life since 1992. They are their own genre. When he says, "where there's one, they're bound to divide it right in two," I believe he's saying that humans will fight over anything and attempt to get their share of it. Where there is one of anything, we will attempt to divide it, "Right in Two." Spiral out. Keep going

After your last TOOL video I was HOPING Right in Two would be your next song. Perfect, can't wait to watch your reaction!

"It's just so close to the source." ~ thanks for giving me the new way I'm going to describe Tool. Thanks for your open and honest reactions ❤

This is how TOOL hit me too. No other band will ever compare for me.

Brother. You’ve turned this nearly 40 year old die hard Tool fan into a Born Again Tool Fan! Your experiencing this is like me experiencing it for the first time all over again. I feel like I’m right with you jamming out.

They opened with Jambi back on 10/6/2023, and my hands flew so fast to my face in awe. Damn near wept.

i have heard TOOL thousands of times and never do their songs ever get old. so many layers.

Very cool reaction!!!! I personally think Maynard is the greatest lyricist i have ever experienced!

One of my favorite Tool tracks. You’re just scratching……bro! It’s exciting to discover new, older music and artists!! Keep going…….lots to hear yet. Please for the love of God, give “Rosetta Stoned” (listen to “Lost Keys” just before it) off this same 10,000 Days album, a listen. Brilliant artists who provoke us to think and ponder just wtf life means on so many levels. Be good, man! Love the heart felt reactions and your exuberance! P.S. Off their latest album, “Invincible” is one of the greatest endings ever. The lyrics are unbelievable, too. Just wait for it……..

Bro - GREAT reactions! you nail it on every level and it's so great to watch. try Vicarious next

💯 my reaction ten years ago. 💯 reaction ten seconds ago. Right in Two makes me freak! Angels giving God the side-eye, like, really? So true! When you do Parabol/Parabola, absolutely no pausing in the middle. They go together. Let them ride and wash over you.

@edwardmunoz7853

5 ай бұрын

Lol @ side eye 🤣 but it's true 💯

Try Vicarious now, it's another song about the worst side of human nature, how we are drawn to the most violent or tragic stories in the news etc and want to see others suffer as long as it's not us doing the suffering! The music is so hard driving on that one too! And their song Descending is just a trip to another plane, showing us we need to help this planet before it's too late. That's my take on it anyway.

I love the lyrics on this one, as well. Like you said, angles saying "now, God? Surely now is the time to step in and do something with all the pathetic and horrible things humans are doing? No? Ok, well, we'll ask God later I guess." Also, after you listen to at least a few more Tool songs, I highly recommend their song 'Third Eye'. If you thought Lateralus was a psychedelic experience, then that one will blow you away.

Awww I love your reactions. Someone that gets it makes the people of the tool army very happy. Your soul is pure and clean and it shows.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how you react to TOOL! 🤟♥

When I first heard the song I definitely got the image of angels screaming and pleading with God to Destroy us humans. God has not given them the order, because they have no free will, they can not act. They are forced to watch and sit on the sidelines. Watching Humanity as it destroys itself and the Earth that it was blessed with.

Neighbor: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?! You: Uhh.. Listening to tool. Neighbor: Can I come over?

OK - To my guy who actually broke a sweat doing a TOOL reaction, I give you this. Listen to Intermission & Jimmy. Then switch to Pusifer's Judith. Complete this review with Wings for Marie 1 & 2. This is about how Maynard saw his mother's faith. 10,000 days (Wings for Marie 2) is his mother's passing and him seeing how important her faith was. Hint - You better bring something to bite down on. It is going to hurt beautifully. Love it! Welcome to the rabbit hole of TOOL!

The very first lines of the song "Angels on the sideline, puzzeled and amused" struggling with their father's decision with proving humans (monkeys) free will "Now they're all confused". Angel's noting "How they survived so misguded is a mystery" And how they find us a repugnant species, as they are stranded on the sidelines "Wondering where this tug of war will end" Brilliant!!!

Agree with above posts. Vicarious next! Love your passion man!

Might’ve been the greatest reaction I’ve ever seen, you fucking get it dude. So amazing to see you vibin with the African drum sound to blasting out with the guitars.!!!!! Amazing man

Tool can take you to another dimension through a wormhole in space, and also put your ass on earth's surface in tribal times.

Hahaha you really worked up a sweat! Awesome dude, keep enjoying tool

I believe Danny Carey, the drummer, traveled to Africa to study percussion at some point, and incorporates what he learned into songs like this.

iv never seen one of your reactions but you bring a fresh breath onto the reaction game bruv. your genuine excitement when u understand one of their bars is so refreshing bruv! keep it going my boy! people feed off of your energy!!

I have to watch all these reaction videos! I cry when I see these! Big bro hug!

lol, looks like you'd have a fantastic time at one of their concerts.

And your life will never be the same my friend…

Thank you for this reaction. Made me feel like I was listening to it for the first time again

Tool takes us on a journey through the entire human condition with their music and lyrics and this song aims right at the heart of our worst traits. Silly monkeys indeed. "Vicarious" is another not-so-flattering take on humanity but it's an incredible song anyway!

Makes me cry of sadness and joy every time I listen to this song. ❤

Loving watching your discovery of TOOL. 👌

I think I just witnessed the birth of a new solider in our beloved Tool Army. Fuck yes brother, fuck yes 🌀🤘

This is the greatest most on point reactions I have ever seen.......it got inside you, and all of the little accents stood out to you, you truly got what they were trying to say, awesome brother, I subbed and liked....more more more

Would LOVE to see one or both of your parents' Reaction to this song. The way you went off about the instrumental break made me think of how so many younger people are so focused on vocalists, words, and lyrics in music. There's so much more to music than just that. 🔥🌀

I appreciate your enthusiasm. Very warranted.

Let me apologize for not being able to give this reaction 2 thumbs up. 🤘🏼

Vicarious 🙏

Even if you ain't religious or spiritual, this song is still heavy.

Thank you for being genuine, sprial out, keep going 🤟🤟🤟

The mental movie through music 🎶 tool 🔧

Lateralus is more like the middle… the real deep end would be Rosetta Stoned or Triad

Now it's s time for either 46&2 or Vicarious.

Interesting background - this album was written after Maynard James Keenan's mother passed away. She suffered from a brain hemorrhage and was bedridden for some 27 years (hence 10,000 days). Her religious devotion is weaved throughout the songs on this collection. The way her congregation abandoned her inspired the title song. The prelude song "Intension" that introduces "Right in Two" is mostly instrumental but I think your ear is sophisticated enough to appreciate it. Brilliant take, loved watching this reaction vid.

This might be the best and most appropriate red top to this EPIC song 🔥🤘🏼😂🌀

There’s plenty to eat, plenty to drink, & plenty of land for every family to farm for themselves & their neighbors. If “billionaire philanthropists” really cared about “common people”, they’d invest in the technologies we’ve had for decades that could fix these “problems.” Just a few SIMPLE examples: Greenhouse Grocery Stores, Dew Net Hydration Catchment, & Cold Hardy Tropical Plants. Are we ever gonna “get” these? We literally have to build this stuff independently of the system, because they clearly only care about themselves, while encouraging us to hate eachother. ♥️🕊️🙏

This man needs more views.

Id love to hear some recommendations of music that Tool comes close to, something of the "source" you speak of. Something close to the primal sounds that Tool encaptures that draws us all to our roots.

Ok, subscribed. Lol

Best band in ta world listen

Man you got took and you took me too.

13:36 Most reactors: “These drums sound so African, such a tribal feel!” African reactor: “These drums sound so Asian, maybe middle eastern!”

The religious references are always the focus, obviously. But I have yet to hear anyone make note of the "talking monkeys" and how Darwinism and creationism coexist side-by-side in this masterpiece. Genius lyrics, as always.

Vicarious!!!! Great reaction

just wait until you hear Ne Obliviscaris - and plague flowers the kaleidoscope. they are really good, and prog metal.

Pretty sure those are the Tabla Drums. They sound incredible

Lol, I love your energy :D

Epic painting of music. And loving Maynard's desert dry humor.

not entirely sure they meant it, but right in two, may also be eluding to splitting the atom. Nuclear age and all that. Not that it would mean that directly, but I just think it's cool that Maynard can write lyrics that have so many different meanings. Master lyricist for sure.

God I really hope you have heard Rage Against the Machine. If you like Tool you should like RATM. Tool is the spiritual band RATM is the political one. Also Maynard is a guest vocalist on "Know Your Enemy."

Wait until you hear Wings for Marie.

Pretty sure nobody was living here during the ice age, but yeah history can only teach what was recorded or pieced together from more indirect evidence left behind. Kinda forces modern education to start there. Is there evidence of pre-indigenous peoples? (Which I guess would then be the real indigenous people)

Dia- means two and bol means ball as in one equal solid. Calling something diabolical means it’s separates. God is One.
