The live version is drastically different. Both are great. I highly recommend you listen to that.

The Salival live version also gives you some good insight into how Maynard intimately connects with the audience. I’ve read that the song is a conversation between Maynard’s egoic self and true self.

@@RallyBud That's really interesting, thanks for that. I have never bought the DV explanation, since for myself who as been at the recieving end it would appear in the song MJK is speaking as the abuser. His lyrics been the classic things the abuser would say, not the victim. Been a Tool fanatic for 30 years, so thanks for opening my eyes to a better explanation of one of my all time fav tool tracks. 💜

When you asked what Danny is hitting early in the track? That’s just the snare drum with the snares released + a bit of a ::crack:: of an intentional contact w/ the rim….not *exactly* a rimshot, but close enough and with the snares released has a “punchy, boxy” sound…if that’s what you were talking about?

Love how you put mad respect on the musical journey

The thing I loved about becomin a tool fan is that when I heard a song I never heard by them and I don’t think it gets any better while I’m listening, it progressively gets better lol

He's hitting a snare drum wit the wires off (wires run along the bottom of the snare drum which gives more "crack" in the sound, but you can un clamp it and have it sound ...like this)

Fun fact: Maynard doesn't write the lyrics until the song is tracked. He let's the song interpret the words. Sometimes he'll finish it, then the band let's him know that they made some changes. He rewrites it because the song changed its meaning.

Chills in my whole body... Tool NEVER disappoints! And I've hear this song at least 500 times...

That dry snare. Love it!!!

This is in my top two Tool songs. The silival version is just ok to me. This here I love. Danny and Justin go off middle and end of the track.

Yes! I think it progresses with the "pushing and shoving" to the point where he is "in the gap" he even says "You put me somewhere I don't want to be. I see things I don't want to see" which is him being pushed to his emotional and mental breaking point where he fears he may say things he will regret or even possibly become violent.

How bout given that BASS LINE some love my guy!

Yes, there are several ways you can hear/interpret some of the lines in this song. Push it on me/put shit on me is one, the other such line is "you still love me", where you could also take it as "you steal of me", which would also fit into the context of the song.

I swear man, the piccolo snare he used in this song is such a PERFECT feel

Pushit will always and forever be the words that shaped my youthful, rageful mind at ease. It taught me about relationships and understanding. At 16 years old it became a beacon of what could be fixed, what could be better. This album along with Big's Ready to die changed my life for the better. I truly believe that.

What a journey!! I’m enjoying listening to Tool with you . Can’t wait for your reaction to Wings for Marie/ 10000 days 🤘🏽

Thank you so much for taking my suggestion and listening to PUSHIT! Welcome to the rabbit hole!😂

Once again I find an interesting take on a song I’ve heard a hundred times but didn’t think of it like you do. Thanks

Love this song! I've always equated that chill quiet section in the middle as him being in the gap. But it could very well be peace of mind too. Loving your Tool reactions!

Great discovery! One of my favorite songs of all time. Love your reactions to Tool!

Love your reactions to Tool. You are now indoctrinated into the Tool Army 🤟

Love your respect for Adam Jones. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Something Adam said about his style that I have notice since listening to Tool, he thinks of playing the guitar the same way a great film would unfold, he really creates a landscape. I have yet to hear guitarist that does it like him. Adam also has an awesome back ground in makeup/special effects for the movies working with the likes of Stan Winston.

I hope you actually read through your comments. I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching your Tool journey! I've been a huge fan for 25+ years, I've seen them live over 20 times, and although I love a lot of bands I've never connected more to any music than I have with Tool. I've loved your honest reactions listening to these songs and it's really cool seeing how you interpret some of them, even after thousands of listens you've actually pointed out things I've never even considered. You mentioned in one of your first Tool reactions how you "see" music through colors. The way you explained it describes to the T exactly how I've always heard (seen) music. Just really awesome how we come from completely different musical backgrounds but there are still so many similarities. Keep listening to Tool, it gets even better (if you can believe that) and do whatever you can to go see them live. Trust me, it'll change your life. No other experience like it. Keeping rocking brother!

Maynard is very good at manipulating both his enunciation and intonation whether it’s these double meanings like push it push shit or otherwise,

So many good observations.

The song is about patterns of self abuse, involving Carl Jung theory of child archetypes. The first two verses describe child and the gap (self-indulgent pitiful hole). Rest your trigger on my finger Bang my head upon the fault line. The child archetype being triggered, leading to self blaming.

You said it so I don’t have to :)

it’s the shadow talking; the dark parts. tool truly helped me recognize that having those ‘parts’ aren’t necessarily bad; you just have to find balance and be centered. when i was younger and hearing tool, i would assign the lyrics to another person. now i only hear Maynard talking to his shadow and to his inner, unhealed child. it became so much more poignant and meaningful to me. i love that the lyrics and the band in general leave the lyrics open to interpretation, and they never included lyrics. i feel like he is saying these dark things called to him and he is saying ‘i can’t go down in this again, cuz if so, we both aren’t coming back’

There's no love in fear🏆. Welcome to the Tool Army my friend.

You know Adam is also a special effects guy that’s worked on a buncha movies. Very creative mind!!

Man! I was amazed about the put shit on me push it on me too! You nailed it! It took me 100x listening to it to see that play 😂…awesome content man! As a lyric guy myself, your videos are freaking awesome

Love your Tool reactions, your passion for music is great to watch, keep it up, thanks 👍

Alright Mugs. You have already been told this, I'm sure, but a song you should react to soon is "Jimmy" from this same album. Being that you often call Maynard "James", this song will be important to you. I'm not going to spoil anything, other than the song is about a young James. You will LOVE it. Please listen to the intro track right before called "Intermission". Can't wait, man!!!

My lesson from this song has always been that's 'There's no love in fear' or should be.

I think you’d really appreciate “Push it” live from Salival! Very different but very cool!

One week! I finally get to see them live in one week!!!!!

This song is a classic in every sense

Awesome reaction! Now you just have to see the vid of Maynard taking down a fan on stage while performing this song! Also, love how you go back every time you pause to get back into the flow of the song before the next part, really helps the experience especially on first listens

16:50 100% I have always said he has a lot of MJ in his vocals, and his vocal melodies are very RnB

And btw the ch ch ch ah ah ah……is Jason from Friday the 13th. Honest mistake though! No worries.

Absolutely love this fkn song, the salival version slowly crept up and took over for me though. ✌️

Good choice to listen to the studio version first! Both are great. But it’s best to hear the original before trying to appreciate the love version!

Bro when you hear the salival version…you will be in love with it

Loved your reaction! Sorry I missed the live stream!

Back in the day you would get censored on the air for cuss words. Maynard works his vocals to get around it so they wouldn't bleep the auditory experience.

push it on the Salival album live is EPIC check it out!

the live Salival version of Pushit is a remix. totally different.....must watch

OK SOOOOOO I'm new to your channel...I left a comment on the other version about this version hahahha , working my way back!

I never thought of the similarity between Michael Jackson Voice and Maynard’s. After you said it sound like Michael from the song Dirty Diana I told could hear the similarity. Dirty Diana is an Amazing Song BTW. Breaking Benjamin does a live acoustic guitar cover of dirty Diana that I recommend.

Best track ever 🤘🏼👁🌀🌀🌀

I always thought the gap was where you could get some pants. He hates shopping? But "the gap" is that place beyond the line where you put what you took, and took enough you can't take it any more. Stored negative energy, grudges, resentments and whoever sets off the last straw gets it all.

Love you ridin that spiral

I hear you too Justin ❤

Now do Salival Live version. Same song, completely different versions.

Everyone talk about the live version. Its great, sure. This one is better.

Live version is S tier.

Great reaction bud.

danny is hitting his bigass bronze snare drum made of melted down cymbals with the snares turned off. thats the sound you hear in the first half of the song. almost like a timbale. he turns the strainers back on after the interlude

Love Tool❤

'Fault line', like where the earth's crust is cracked (earthquake)...Fault line.

Yes, way😂

“Rest YOUR trigger on MY finger” Think that through…this is about a very dysfunctional relationship that can’t end well

can anyone else here little hints of MJ in Maynards vocals in the chill sections?

No springs on that snare :)

Pretty sure Danny is rimshotting a snare drum with the tension either super tight or taped down on the underside.

When you get with a woman she will be a reflection of your intentions so that’s why he can’t judge her or strike her down

Great song!! Personally, I like the Salival version better.

Why does everyone want to make a brother wait and do reactions…. If you all get any of tools lyrics for real you’d just let the brother eat some mushrooms and go enjoy tools full catalogue lol😘

Danny turned the snares off

Does that feel like peice of mind to you? U said what no one has said before that I feel exactly that.. U made a bad night better, appreciated

This song always makes me think it's about a guy about to commit domestic abuse on an overly clingy person he wants to break up with

What? No Salival live version?

Bang my head upon the fault line= everything is my fault according to( whoever he’s talking to) in my opinion

I believe it’s about losing your sense of self in a relationship. “Take care not to make me enter. If I do we both may disappear.” “If I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay.” Your partner projecting what they want you to be instead of what you are.

Ill always thought he was trying 2 make it sound like shit on me spit on me
