The gears are turning. My dad’s a musician and he’s the same way. He will process the entire song without saying a word and then play it. As a guitar player it was awesome growing up because I knew every song. I remember playing nirvana never mind to him and he taught me half the record in two hours. The best dad ever.

As soon as Judson said, they were hanging from the ceiling and covered in silver stuff and were doing weird stuff on stage, it really brought me back, and he is correct. I saw them in 2001, they were doing their tour for Lateralus and what he is referring to was when they played Schism live. They had people walking around and hanging upside down in like a cocoon as I could best describe it. Maynard was performing in his underwear and it was pouring down rain outside. Still to this day one of the best shows I've ever been to! Can't wait to see his reaction to some very complex songs from Tool soon!

Tool lyrics exist on multiple levels. Even the name Tool is meant to be interpreted many ways. Like you're a tool. Or that this music is a tool. I've found that I've found different meanings to their lyrics as I've aged. Which is wild. Maynard always writes that way, double entendres and such. This song, yea about pot, but also hypocrites (pots) who call the kettle black in regards to politicians and others who put their views/laws on others while doing what they want. The genius of Tool's music is the depth of everything, from the instruments to the lyrics. It's all intended to take you on a journey and get you thinking more about life.

The decorations/furniture and the quality of the video make this look like its from the 90s or early 2000s

Hahah, I went to a show during that tour. The silver people swinging from the ceiling were the acrobats hired for the Schism music video.

I saw that tour too. The two or three people hanging from "ropes" doing "tricks." At some of these we balked.

I saw tool in 2001 and they did have people naked and painted in shinny paint hanging upside down from the rafters writhing to the music in the second half of their show! It was the lateralis tour!!

Guys, first time on the channel here. Love the video. You should go with something from the new album next. Either the live drum cam of Pneuma or maybe Invincible/Descending depending on personal tastes. It'd be a guarantee that you dont run into something he remembers from '99.

lol this little guy is a menace! Doing bits, being annoying while staring into your soul with a shit-eating grin. A force to be reckoned with, for sure.

It was the Lateralus tour they had silver people upside-down on trapeze. The year 2000 and 2001 here in Aus. ) still the worst flu/sickness i ever got EVER in that moshpit. Worth every cent!

He's talking about the tour where they played behind a sheet, and Cirque De Solei performed in front of the sheet.

I just subscribed because I felt everything bro, what the fuck was he doing hahahahhahahahaa

YO! I'm pretty dang sure that was the LATERALUS TOUR! With the 'upside down silver people'. I caught that tour. Tricky opened up for them (at the show I was mesmerized by). Ah memories...20+yr old memories (2001-02)

I like how broski checks the keys when listening to music. As a musician you always analyze the musical aspect of it. It’s totally different from a person that doesn’t play any instruments.

I saw them in 99. There were people wrapped like worms wiggling and hanging from the scaffolding above the stage. It was ridiculous. The screen wrapped around us and the visuals were indescribable. It's hard to picture what he was describing when he said they were behind a screen, but they literally were.

Enjoyed the reaction. I love to see a reaction to Radiohead's How to Disappear Completely, because of it's structure and Rush YYZ because of the performance and structure. Thanks for the reaction.

Surprised you started with this one. Perfect for rock but for a classical listener they have several that are right in that wheel house. Either way, keep going ✌️

It would be cool for y'all to get into their song structure too. I think this track moves from 4/4 to 6/4 quite seamlessly, which is not really noticeable unless you're listening for it

Right in Two! Please, please, please.

LOVE Tool, this is the kind of music I try to write and play. Sadly I am not quite as skilled at it as the members of Tool.
