Bro...listening to Aenima on my Discman over & over & over in 1997....few albums have had such a deep impact on me. We had it goooood

Also my favorite song by them. The line "Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability - To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here" Just hits so hard.

There are only a handful of reaction channels that I believe are authentic; meaning the reactor(s) dont actually like the song/band and they insult our intelligence trying to make us believe that they do and pretending that they “get” the music. Your channel is one of the 3 or 4 channels that I believe are authentic and I appreciate it. You have intelligent breakdowns and understand the music/musicality/lyricism in totality. Great job, guys!

To be fair. Danny Carey is a freak of nature.

The conversation at the end of this video perfectly encapsulates the Tool experience. It's not just the music, it's the long conversations you have after the fact with people that have also experienced it, contemplating not only the music but existence- among other things. To me, that's probably the best part of the entire video. Seeing the two of you slip so naturally into such a cerebral conversation, as we all often do because of this music.

Tool had been called " The Modern Pink Floyd".. two classics!!!

For those that like the lyrics, Wings for Marie gets me every single time. Its about Maynards mother. He previously wrote a song called Judith with one of his other projects (A Perfect Circle). Maynards mother had an aneurysm when he was 11. The church told her she must have a sin she had not repented of so she was punished by God. The church told her she couldn't come back until she was healed. The church abandoned her, but she never abandoned her beliefs. Maynard was very angry about it. He wrote Judith. She died about 4 years after Judith. Three years later he wrote Wings for Marie. Whether or not Maynard believes in God, his mother never giving up on him changed his angry spirit and he believes she saved him. For me, this was close to home. My mother prayed for me every day no matter. She passed and I had to take a hard look at my life. She saved me.

It's so fun to watch people discover how hard it is to bang your head to Tool songs. Just when you think you have the rhythm, you don't, forcing you to devolve into the head shake. It takes multiple times listening before you start to feel the timing.

The way it builds from the drums in the middle of the song just blows my mind. I really love this band

Right in Two and The Patient are my favorite Tool songs.

It’s actually difficult to name a favorite, as the best Tool song is always the one you are listening to at the moment. However, here are some of my favorites: -Descending -The Grudge -Lateralus -Stinkfist -H. -Vicarious -Wings for Marie part 1 & 2 -Push it -Parabol/Parabola … I keep forgetting some, they don’t have bad songs 😂

The thing with Tool is that every new song you hear becomes your new "favorite". I have so many favorites I can never just allocate it to a single song.

BEst song on this album hands down is" Wings Of Marie PT2" it is a song about Maynard's mother and will have you in tears just about. I have seen them live about 9 times now and they hit every time. Glad to see people get into them that get to hear it for the first time. Every song makes you think more than you ever thought of. Great video guys, and from a fellow southern guy best wishes. and #GODAWGS

The drums that are being used are an electric version of the tabla; an Indian drum (sort of like a bongo drum) with a very distinct sound.

Loving your Tool analysis since I discovered your channel recently. Btw, the "toms" you keep hearing in Tool songs are tablas which are common in Indian music.

I've never tried to count through this one. I just groooved... is it 11/7 or am I crazy?!😂 the story her is what's always gotten me there, to the point of not caring about the time. Boom💥👽

While all their albums are their best it depends on your mood. My personal favorite is Lateralus though. It'd be great if y'all did full album reactions. Even if broken up song by song. I love hearing your guys' insight. You really delve into what the artist is trying to put across

Just stumbled upon your channel. As an Upper 50’s Tool fan I get such joy out of watching your guys reactions to Tool! You guys “get” it! Why Tool is soooo great! Keep up the good work. Enjoy you guys!!

The band records the music and then Maynard writes to it from there...first time catching the channel, awesome takes, tool army incoming!

Love, love, love your reaction to this magnificent song. There’s no band that outdoes Tool. It is so emotional to see people enjoying them for the first time. Great job describing your perspective on their music. ❤️

Love this. I am turning 30 soon, TOOL has been my favorite band since I was 12. They’ve changed my life. Listen to “Intension” before “Right in Two” next time, they go together :)

Tool takes you on a spiritual journey that reaches deeper within our core...the tribal..the collective one...the "we"! We are all one. They like Rage Against the Machine are truly one of a kind. Btw Tool played on RATM "know your enemy". Maynard sings a part but the song reflects tools sound with Rage....it's amazing. I love they collaborated because they are my top 2 bands hands down. They both speak strongly about humanity and it's crucial for our evolution. They create the spiritual connection to bring us closer.

The humbling river by puscifer. If you ever come to Cleveland for a show. You fly I'll buy. I've seen them 7 times. You have to see it live. It's exponentially amazing. I have a tattoo for crud sake.

Those drums you're hearing are Indian Tabla drums. They're really cool. Danny uses tabla samples on his electric drum pads and I think he also plays them with his hands during that solo middle part or he uses a roland hand drum with samples

“Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here” One of my favorite TOOL lyrics. Awesome video! Thanks!

I would highly recommend “46 & 2”, “Pneuma” or “Aenema” next! 🌀out!!

The whole song/reaction was absolutely real and gritty. I do really love how well You said at the end that it was like bring us back to our basic state of being, simple, like the dirt under our feet. Nicely done!!

Fantastic reaction video. Every time you guys react to Tool song it brings me right back to my first time hearing them.

It’s funny, there is a fan made music video for this song that is absolutely amazing. You guys basically described the whole thing when you were visualizing what you thought it might look like.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here.

This was my favorite up until descending ..omg

I loved your reaction to this song guys!! One of TOOL's best songs. I have cried and laughed so many times to this band. They make you FEEEEEL, period and you have to let go and just experience them. Seen them many times live and they are even better believe it or not. Keep listening to them and you won't be disappointed. There is so much more to discover

Tool is like the Holy Ghost you will receive it when you are ready. it truly is a experience wholly unto itself. having extremely good sound system turned up really loud to hear all of the small intricate details that go by so fast. It’s absolutely awesome.

This song is my fav Tool song and I like to check reactions to it every now and then. Glad you liked it. I don’t mean to exaggerate, overreact… I like to start paraphrasing a doctor’s opinion I heard in a PBS documentary that one of the hardest things about death has to do with the fact that we do not know what life is all about. Obviously, this song is far, not even close to what our purpose is, but this song does picture a tiny piece of our true existence -and in a way gives me peace. Besides the great musical instrumentation, the lyrics made it complete to my taste. Thanks for your video reaction.

Your favorite TOOL song is always the one you’re listening to.

Nothing better than watching tool "take someone away."

Dude 1: having a cosmic ethereal near-stroke revelation Dude 2: this reminds so much of Mortal Kombat Yeah, Tool does that.

Humans need to step out their lanes & broaden their musical range because their is so much out there that people don't or won't listen to. Watching this reaction is proof to that. Awesome reaction guys!

You guys are just awesome! I appreciate the authenticity

Those drum sounds at the beginning are tabla drums (traditional Indian drums)

Yay a new TOOL reax video! 🤩 I love how you guys break down what you're hearing, the truth of your joy AND your knowledge and insight on music comes right out and it manages to add to the sounds of some of my favorite music ever created! It's always a pleasure--and this track is certainly one of the absolute best that TOOL ever recorded. Every single note, every word, every beat is exactly where it needs to be. It needs nothing else. 💖💖

I absolutely love watching people have the same amazement and excitement about this band as I do. It is truly a journey.

I’ve listened to Tool since the beginning and you’re right, they are a category unto themselves. I’ve watched all of your Tool reaction videos and I have to give you guys some real credit because you both got it right away - the music connected with you immediately and you had deep insights about the music and what they are doing almost from the first minute of The Pot. There’s been a lot of “black dudes react to Tool” videos over the last couple of years and I’m so happy to see it happening. I’m not surprised in the least, and I’m excited to see where this leads musically. As a musician myself, the potential musical repercussions of how this influence might get filtered through the hip hop / rap community and what might come out the other end really has me excited and optimistic for music in general. Welcome aboard, gentlemen. The Tool Army is happy to have you along for the ride.

i love the fact you guys actually truly listen to the music. eyes closed heads bobbing truly hearing it. thank you. from a TOOL fan

The song previous to right in two is called Intention, and slowly details how men divide from other men using tools as weapons, easing into right in twos message of division v apathy

You’re correct of course, it starts with Vicarious(feeling someone’s death vicariously), too right in two(gods description of heaven on earth with angels and presumably demons), it’s a journey of mankind with steps in between of life.

Not a conspiracy theory at all! They match their time signatures with patterns found in sacred geometry. They hit specific frequencies to activate different centers of the brain-literally MAKING YOU FEEL what they want you to feel when you listen to that piece of a piece. It’s absolutely a journey and the science and math behind the music is astounding. Paired with the deep lyrics, they’re so so freaking top tier.

You guys would really like 46 & 2 probably my favorite Tool song.

Makes my soul elated to watch y’all discovering the majesty of TOOL. My favorite band for 30 years now. It’s hard to put feelings to words…I love love love watching new comers discover to magic unfold. Great channel btw…very fun to vibe with you guys.

The band creates the song, they give it to Maynard and he stylizes his lyrics to fit the music

My favorite Tool song... thanks for reacting to this one. Love your response to the journey this song leads us listeners on. This gem is a masterpiece!!!

I think of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Monkeys. Early man. In the desert. Finding a bone club. Discovering want....greed....and the birth of war

Music is something special & brings many people together that would never met each other on there own.

I love hearing Tool through the ears of reaction videos like this. People like you guys have the ability to articulate things I've felt but couldn't put into words for literally decades.

Guys. I love when they do that. They feed you the pieces of the song bit by bit, and in a way that makes it hard to grasp the 2 or 3 rhythms you're trying to lock down. And then they just hand you the full gift of the ensemble. Wild.

To the point of how is Maynard basically participate with the pace of the songs he puts it as his voice is his additional instrument. He's not the lead singer he's the vocal instrument of the group.

Fun fact: If you listen to the song before this they flow into each other musically AND lyrically. This song is truly a masterpiece of a song. Love the reaction. 🤘🏾🖖🏿

Right in Two is so good on so many levels. Lyrics, atmosphere, groove, energy, strength, speed, etc... Great reaction!

Cool seeing peeps vibing to music in 11/8, in rhythm!

The band completes all of the music before Maynard writes one lyric. They send the finished song to Maynard, then he writes the lyrics and vocal tone.

I love seeing you guys geek out to Tool. I love when someone else gets it and feels it. I have many different visions while listening to them. Rosetta stoned I have had crazy hallucinations during that song.

It's exactly an extraterrestrial view, and glad you Like the Tabla drums in verse 2! As a drummer I have been fascinated that they make the Tabla pair by hand with strange materials! Keep up great reactions!!

I Love it when people realize that these guys are on a whole other stratosphere. I got actual goosebumps from your reactions. Keep going!! I recommend Invincible from Fear Inoculum.

Right in two is you’re favorite until you realize the 7empest is a whole new level

Every time I listen to any one of their songs, it's my favourite song. Whatever story it tells is perfectly told, and the degree to which it can resonate at any given time is always unpredictable.

Great reaction, I could almost see the goosebumps each and every time moments of this song blew you away.

that's my favorite Tool song too! I love you guyssss

Experiencing greatness on a whole other level with this song, it's EVERYTHING and MORE!

You were close about the meaning. I take it as basically the angels looking down on Gods creation (man) and are like “WTF was he thinking?!?” They squander, kill, destroy with no thought of how close they are to heaven.

I love seeing your emotional responses to this song. Thanks guys

I really like seeing you guys hear musicians like tool. Makes me happy.
