I may actually be an exception to that rule. I saw TOOL in '92 or '93 not even knowing who they were. I went only because it was the 5th and final day of the trip, and my ride home was dead set on going to the State Palace theater for one last rave party. Well, before the rave kicked off at a lil after midnight, there was some rock or punk or some whatever fukn band had the place booked for a 9pm show. At this point I was absolutely cooked. We'd drank gallons of alcohol, smoked easily a lb of weed, ate probably 100 tabs of xtc and a 1\4 sheet of acid. I was fukn done with New Orleans. I went to the State Palace bitching and moaning. Well, it wasn't my car and this fukn rave isn't for like 5 hrs so sure I'll buy a ticket to see this horrible band at 9oclock ..... Well, that band was TOOL. They played the 6 Opiate tracks, absolutely destroyed the place, and I was left standing screaming at my friends like the 19yr old bro I was, "Holy fuck dude! That shit was nuts!".......and then I forgot all about them until 1995 when I saw the Sober video on MTV. Even then it didn't click. I kept hearing Sober on the radio still not putting 2 and 2 together, until one day I heard the dj credit the band "TOOL for that last track, 'Sober' the debut from the...blah blah" That was it, it clicked and I remember getting hyped thinking, "oh shit! That's that band we saw at the State Palace! Fuck I'd forgotten all about that band." I drove my ass to the record store right then and bought Opiate and Undertow. I had been able to experience hearing them for the 1st time twice without realizing it and I wouldn't change any of it. Fukn great times

But also, do watch their music videos, Adam Jones is an award winning artist that created much of the artwork for Tools album and video material. Saying don't watch the music videos is like saying "listen to the song but don't worry about the lyrics". I agree for a first time listener that would be a little too much to take in, but not enough credit is given to the tremendous artwork this band also produces.

Parabol / Parabola isn't a song, it's a divine experience.

I live vicariously through first time Tool reactions. In my opinion they are the best band ever. Their musicianship and their creativity are miles above the rest. Their lyrics and subjects are deep, thought provoking and at times extremely emotional. I recommend starting from the very beginning and listen to every one of their albums in order so you can see how they evolved over time but if you go out of order I would suggest Vicarious, Schism, Ænema, Eulogy, Sober, Prison Sex, The Grudge, Parabol/Parabola, Stinkfist, Bottom, Third Eye, Hooker With A Penis, Right In Two, Pneuma, Tempest....I'm sure there's a few that I am forgetting but these are some of their best songs but all of them are great.

Perfect starter track for Tool! So much more great music to explore from this special band. I'd suggest avoiding their music videos because they're super weird and too distracting for first listens. Not many quality live performances online for Tool, but I'd highly recommend watch their '93 performance of Sober from the Reading Festival. Enjoy the ride!

Rhythmic entrainment is just the best feeling

Watching people hear TOOL for the first time is almost as good as going back in time and hearing TOOL for the first time myself. It's the next best thing. Now, if I could only SEE them in concert for the first time again. 🤘😁🤘

Tool's basslines don't get enough credit. They are so killer.

No words to describe Tool the sound, rhythm, tempo feeling, and once u start the rabbit hole on lyrics u will finally realize the absolute genius. Been listening for 20 years and still learning from the music I dont think its even possible to live a life time and fully comprehend the complexity.

Welcome to the tool side....😎🤘 You gotta know mate, that tool has two epic guitar player's, maybe , arguably the greatest drummer walking earth right now. And a lead singer who is very eccentric and probably has a iq of 200 and is a black belt in jiu-jitsu and has a wine vineyard. I feel sorry for folks who haven't heard tool.. It's like never hearing Jimi Hendrix or Elvis...😁🤘😎

it really is the truth tho! Tool is that one band that can get EVERYBODY hooked. I had a dental extraction appointment and the 2 women that did it said they will play music to help me relax and I knew my 1st choice would be completely out of the question since I listen to HEAVY metal and I knew it would scare the absolute shit out of them but I told them to turn on Tool and just 1 song made them both go "omg this is amazing!! I can see what you mean by how their music can just calm you and make you want to focus. I understand why you listen to this now when you have anxiety and need to meditate"

*SCHISM* is the second song I'd go with. It's a good stepping stone from The Pot to the rest of Tool -- it's catchy but not quite as straightforward in groove. Never watch music videos for your reactions lol. I think it's too soon for Lateralus (song). My recommendations would be: Schism, Forty Six & 2, Ænema, The Grudge, Lateralus. *Then* you can get into the newer, better-production-quality songs like Jambi, Invincible, Right in Two, Vicarious, Pneuma, Descending, etc...

Discovering Tool was a life altering event. Like whole new path, new personality emerged. They have since gotten me through so much. It really is a tool for self growth.

There's something about setting people experience Tool for the first time. Even if you aren't a fan of the genre, it's impossible for music lovers to not appreciate the talent in this band.

This is the true definition of a BAND. All masters of their own domain but no one seeks to be the center. It’s brilliance. And listening to Tool is a spiritual journey. Enjoy it.

Everyone has this universal reaction, especially to this song. This song is from another world, truly

LISTEN TO EVERYTHING! I’ve been listening for 30 years and never tire of them. I love watching people experience them for the first time. It’s so satisfying.

With Tool, I can't suggest enough to stick with the studio versions for your first listens. The engineering intricacies add SO much.

I am a massive Floyd fan as well as Tool. The biggest similarity is that albums are not made for radio play and should be listened as a whole. Floyd was great at concept albums and Tool does the same- except tool does it in a time when concept albums don’t really happen anymore. Other factor is perhaps that all musicians in tool and Floyd were top level at their instruments- including voices as instruments

For personal reasons the Lateralus album is my favorite. It got me through some hard times. But as a general rule there are no bad Tool songs. Minus the transition tracks cause those are more for the people who listen to the whole album start to finish. Their earlier stuff is more raw and heavy and they evolve album to album. Im sure you are getting plenty of suggestions already so I will refrain and simply wish you good vibes on this journey you are about to take. Enjoy!

My man, loving watching you discover and get blown away by a band I love

Its amazing how listening to this song 14 year or however long later it still sounds fresh as a daisy. And watching someone's genuine reaction is like experiencing it again for yourself. When this album came out i'm pretty sure it was in my CD player for a year.

In my opinion TOOL is like the modern day version of PINK FLOYD/ LED ZEPPELIN & RUSH all in one. TOOL actually covered a Led Zeppelin song called “no quarter” which is an unbelievable ride!

Pneuma, Parabola, and Lateralus are all good songs to listen to while pondering existence.

been watching tool reactions for 2.5 hours this morning... it's been a good morning.

Tool gets me right in the guts, hairs on the back of the neck every time. Enjoy the ride, doesn’t get old regardless how many times you listen to any of their songs.

What do you say to someone that just heard Tool for the first time? There's two things I think most often when I see that look of "where has this band been all my life" shine in their eyes. Firstly, I am a little jealous because you only get to experience everything for the first time once and there are few things that can massage your soul like the journey a single Tool song can give you. Secondly, I think, welcome to the Tool Army...welcome to the family, we've been waiting for you, now drink the Kool-Aid because it is cult following for Tool. Almost to a fault if I am being honest, because I am like many people, I get very turned off of something if I have someone really insisting and pushing me to try something because they love it so much and expect me to love it like they do, it puts me in a defensive posture and I immediately look for things about it to hate just to shut up Mr. or Ms. overzealous and I've heard several stories of people that experienced exactly that by one of our Tool Army allies that just loves too hard and that caused them to ignore the band for most of their life or just not even willing to give them a try ever. Lucky for me I found tool accidentally on my own in a car stereo shop around 22 years ago, it was a store called Car Stereo City and the song Aenema came on the local rock station they had playing on one of the displays. They had the sound up loud for obvious reasons and that song just kicked so much ass I was instantly hooked, I ran out and bought that CD immediately. It is one of very times I can recall the experience the very moment it happened like it was yesterday. It ranks with the first time I got laid and the day 9/11 happened, they all made a huge impact on me, either positive or negative but they were life altering moments, each for their own reasons.

Glad to be here for your journey :)

The Grudge or Lateralus have to be one of your next Tool reactions! I’m so excited for the ride you about to go on brother! Enjoy! And yes gotta pull up lyrics for these songs! A new Tool fan is made!

I looooove your reaction to this. Welcome to the world of Tool. Keep going!!!!

46&2 is an amazing illustration of Jung's theory of evolution. Also a group of kids covered it thru the O'Keefe Music Foundation.

The love is mutual. Love your channel, brother. You forayed into a passionate fan base with this one. Us Tool fans are relentless, to say the least, but I would argue this band has earned that passion. Check out "Right inTwo" as well. Read the lyrics on that one as you go. Amazing on every level.

Lyrics are important as Tool is thinking man’s music and deep. But you’ll find yourself spiraling out on the genius rhythms and complexities of how it all goes together. Thanks for covering one of the best bands ever.

Tool is one of those bands that has songs that I could listen to on repeat.

I love watching people react to bands I've loved and listen to for years and love them. It's great 😊

This never gets old. When the guitar riff let's loose it just splits em wide open and BOOM! Another Tool fan is born. Welcome home.

Dude, love this reaction. The Pot is one of my favorite Tool songs, I would love to see a Right In Two vid. Regarding Pink Floyd, "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"

I love seeing reaction vids like yours, where there isn’t a pause and rewind every 15 seconds. As for Tool recommendations, check out the Undertow album, and their first album Opiate

I love Tool they have their own sound that hits deep in your soul.i saw them live in DC two nights ago and I was blown away by the light show and the music.

Def need to revisit this song WITH LYRICS! Will make you smile

Nice watching you discover Tool…Great talk Dude!

Just watched them again in concert last Tuesday...Pneuma performed live is hypnotizing!

Great energy. Sub'd.

Ok, here we go! Another first timer Tool ride! You're in for a treat!

Welcome to The Tool Army! 🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤟

I love that you're new to Tool (personal top 3 band of all time), welcome! I recommend "Forty six & 2" as a follow up, the groove is similar and it's another of their best tracks. From there their discography is your oyster lol... have fun! 🤘

Congratulations, welcome to the party!

5 mins in and I'm subscribed. You get it, man. You get Tool right away, I did too. By the first chorus of the first song I ever heard, I was hooked ("Opiate", in the mid-90's). Listen to "Right In Two", "Forty-Six and Two", "Sober", "Stinkfist", "Aenema". To start with. I absolutely love videos like this, seeing people's eyes widen, and the inevitable stank-face when Justin's baseline kicks in, or Adam starts to really work it. But Danny might be the most talented of them all. The "Pneuma" drum-cam video is my Exhibit A.

Welcome to the family, brother! 💚🖤

Best Tool reaction I've ever seen.

Well Done!!! Great Reaction! More Tool and Pink Floyd!

I also appreciate the fact that you understand that each individual player is a badass in their own right! And they come together as a group and it's magnificent!

You earned a sub for this reaction. I loved your smile when you realized what you were listening to…

Agreed with many commenters....listen, hear, listen again, apply it to your life, and it WILL certainly be appreciated. That's the most magnificent thing about Maynard and Tool, is the ability to be vague enough, yet hit so many struggles. F**king beautiful! Props all day and unites us all! Much love..
