It’s about the hypocrisy of a “fan”, who is the ultimate consumer, criticizing the mainstream success. “I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s and a Dope Beastie T, nipple rings new tattoos....And in between sips of Coke he told me that he thought we were selling out.” Great song and dope album. In my fav top 5 best albums of all time for sure. That album opened my mind to so many sounds. Check out 46 & 2

A Tool reaction video walked into a bar... and I asked, "Why so short?" Rhetorical question.

One of my fav Tool songs 😍🥰💜

I love the title. I watch lots of your videos, I grew up in the 60's but 10 years ago my showed me Tool. They are one of my favorite bands. Excellent musicians and song writing. Nobody sounds like them, especially their later work.

Welcome to, in my opinion, the most technically brilliant and beautiful rock band of all time. Now, I hope at you keep listening. He's is so crazy gifted as a singer, song writer etc. This song is not the best example of his singing skills. So, please keep on. Gets better and better.

Scrolling. Scrolling. (Sweating). Scrolli... Ah yes. This is the right timeline. Gonna rewind, since I started typing and misses the beginning. Great song. Great video sir! Glad I found ya today. Look forward to watching everything and whatever comes in the future. Stay safe out there people!

This is one of my favorite Tool songs for a few reasons, but one is just how visceral and direct these lyrics are. Maynard just goes for the jugular here, biting back at all the haters out there and it’s a bit refreshing I feel to not mince words sometimes. Super amazing track and just so powerful lyrically. Thanks for reviewing this one!

Never thought I’d see you react to this one. Appreciate your open mind. Moral of the song- Don’t call tool sellouts.

This is the Tool version of a popular rapper trying to re-establish street cred, and I'm totally here for it.

It's hilarious to watch you try to describe what you're trying to say at the end of the song without using swear words or actually saying the title of the song. LMAO it's adorable

If you listen carefully during that bass solo at about 2.5 mins, you can hear an excerpt of comedian Bill Hicks; "consume, be fruitful and multiply". The entire album is mostly a tribute to him, as he had passed away less than three years prior to its release (aged 32, pancreatic cancer), and had become associates with Maynard.

Ahhh you made it to Maynard's diss track essentially. These vocals are so fire. Having that 96 nostalgia right now.

I'm impressed you did this. The drumming is redicoulis

This was probably my favorite album in high school.

Yay! Been waiting on some more TOOL!

Well now I’ve got some ad-vice for you lil buddy! LOVE IT. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow what a song! Luv the beats 🎸🥁✌

Another curve ball: "Jimmy" from the same album, followed by: "Sweat" from Opiate.

Correct interpretation once again ! Many artists get accused of "selling out" as soon as they get some commercial success, especially bands that labor in obscurity with a rabid cult following for many years before then. My favorite quote about the phenomenon was about Metallica getting mainstream success: "People tell us we sold out, and I say, damn right. We sold out every seat at every show at every venue we played." Can you picture yourself in a sold-out Chesapeake Arena (home of the OKC Thunder), screaming along with 40,000 other people FUCK YOU, BUDDY FUCK YOU, BUDDY FUCK YOU, BUDDY FUCK YOU, BUDDY I can, I was, I did. If you ever get a chance to see Tool live, go for it immediately. They're the only band I've seen with a better stage show than Pink Floyd

I love this song. Great lyrics

Dude omg. That falling off the cliff bit was great! 🤣

One of my fav songs frm TOOL🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 but everything they do is AMAZING & Euphoric 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

“The street walkers” lmaooo 🤣

I'm glad you enjoyed this song. It's an old favorite of mine. Early TOOL is the best. I'm going to ask again that you listen to Tori Amos. I sent you a long ass message on Instagram, so I'm not going to do that again, but I will say that Maynard sang with Tori at her RAINN benefit concert in the late 90s on her song Muhammed, My Friend, and it's really lovely. They harmonize together beautifully. Tori says at the beginning that she occasionally calls up Maynard to sing her lullabies when she can't sleep. Can you imagine?

I'm a huge Tool fan and this is STILL my favourite song. It just goes to a whole other level. Hard as fuck.
