It's not about it being hard. It's about how good you can make it sound. It sounds so good that people perceive it to be hard. That's the beauty of this song.

I read somewhere that when Maynard was asked what song he'd recommend to someone that's never heard Tool before he said to start with The Pot to get a sense of what they do. It's definitely the most accessible, but it's still one of their best. I think you need to slow roll before you tackle something like Rosetta Stoned. lol

This was the song that introduced me to Tool and been listening to them since then

There it is! Was waiting for this one!

spot on review!! you hit on every reason i love this song!

If I ever hear that someone hasn't listened to Tool before this is the song I suggest to them as an intro because of its easy time signature and the groove/funk of the song. Not to say it's an easy song but for someone who is brand new they need something to head bob to 😆

I count pretty much the whole song as 3/4 and 5/4, or 6/8 and 10/8. Either way it's basically still 4/4 like you said, but I think the 3/4 to 5/4 is an ingenious way to play a 4/4 feel. Something I would never think of in a million years

The 3/4 to 5/4 basically tricks you into feeling a 4/4 because you count 8/8 in your head so when it goes into 4/4 it doesn't feel off...

U r such a treat! Very entertaining. I dont get the way u listen to music, must admit, but we have the same taste.. Glad I found u!

Locking in to the kick and/or snare is usually the easiest wat to figure out the time signature, at least for me anyways.

Here 💯 For Your TOOL Reactions!!

If you like odd times, you must love King Crimson. I’ve listened to them since 1980 and I think that’s why I took to Tool so quickly. I know Tool is heavily Crimson influenced, and they’ve played together.

Love it!

THE SICKIST BASS LINE

TOOL 'Pnuema' has a cool time signature, and the track 'Invincable'

Ya…playlist for sure bro.🤘. Great reaction - love the names pronouncing of the requesters. Lol. And…no we don’t need to see you from the shoulders down.😆

As always David, nicely done!! and I do agree with you, this isn't the best Tool song (as per my opinion as well) but still, one of my favorite ones!! CHEERS!!!

Hell yeah!

This was their 'radio friendly' song, but in Australia they still chopped out the middle section on most radio stations. They will never be trendy, thank god. But my great grandchildren will learn about them in school. Nice job again, bro. 👍

This song musically is like a dish in a 3* Michelin restaurant, where the chef takes one ingredient (4-4 measure) and prepares it 20 different types on one plate.

Tool usually creates masterpieces, this is a banger. I dont respect that any less.

This song really shows what you can do with 4/4. The triplets in the vocal intro threw me off quite a few times when this album came out, at first it seemed like the bass was in a completely different time-signature than the vocals. Great stuff.

If you liked The Grudge, give The Patient a listen. It's the next song on the album (disregarding Eon Blue Apocalypse, which people usually group in with The Patient as an intro).

Tool Army is more than likely screaming at you to go back! My second fav band out there and can never get enough of Tool lol

Sweet, you have listened to another masterpiece by Tool. 🤘... I was close, I thought you were going to give it a 9.2

Maynard actually said if you were to introduce someone into Tool his pick would be The Pot to ease them in.

8:19 LOL. Dude, I feel you so much

I have watched this video 50 times

Yeah, in this case the song has a rather pointed message to get across, so it makes sense that it would be a little more musically straight-forward. That said, there is still a ton of magic to find in this one. The grove, the transitions, the phrasing Maynard employs, the style that Maynard employs, etc. It's a fantastic song, and one of my favorites, but clearly it's not going to rate like Lateralus which has a killer message, and is bending the laws of physics.

This was my introduction song to Tool. It took me two weeks to listen to another song.

Only tool reaction that matters

As far as Justin's super yummy bass tone, the bass he uses is key. He uses a Wal Bass, which is very expensive and he is a pick player which give a little bit more of a punchy attach than the fingers. To my knowledge the only song he uses his fingers is 10,000 Days, but he uses a pick on that one in a couple of places as well. But other than that I think he actually boosts the mids. I can get pretty close I think with my Schecter bass by doing that, I am not in any sort of band, I tried starting one with my brother and a few people at the church I was going to at the time and I have not played in several years but I used to play for fun. He runs the signal through a splitter and has 3 signals running, one of them always clean and one running with grit. I believe even when he has his bass whammy and other pedals active there is still a clean signal running of un-effective Wal Bass tone yumminess. His pedal board is something to behold as well, Dunlop TV does a rundown of his kit, but I think it is off one of the Lateralus tours so it may not what he is using now but it will get you close.

About dam time lol

This definitely isn't mind blowing counts but the SONG IS GREAT

Nobody but nobody knows how to end a song like TOOL !!!

My man, I learn some time ago that I wont break my brain trying to figure out meter with Tool 🤦🏼‍♂️ lol I just try to learn the”frases” (rifs) Same with Rush or Porcupine Tree!

As a guitarist I call it box shapes. It’s a classic 5th position of a blues shape on the minor. Usually. I do like the 3/ on the 4. It’s not genius but sounds great no matter what. Even basic 4/4 songs can be amazing just depends on approach

In the breakdown, it's Justin on bass playing the "solo" in the upper registers, not Adam, FYI.

More Opeth reactions? I really would like to know your opinion: Moon above, sun below; Blackwater Park; Harlequin Forest are great songs to start! Yeah, i am here (again!)

Not sure if you’ve heard yet. Danny is their metronome live. They don’t use a click

A song must be enjoyable first. And then smart, progressive, complex, you name it. I agree 100% with you. Even tool themselves have admitted that they sometimes overdid the "being smart" thing and got lost into it. Amazing reaction as always!

I showed this to my little sister and asked what the time she thought it was. She said she couldn't tell if it was 3/4 or 5/4 and then the look realization immediately after on her face was priceless.

A tool review in only 37 minutes? I might not have to watch this one at 2x speed 😂 To clarify, I love the long reviews, and that wasn't a complaint. But I do watch them sped up, time is money!

Sir, sir, sir… let’s be clear…. There is no suffering a Tool song. Going back to the good bits is fine! We don’t mind!

Everybody is asking you to check out more Tool, I am wondering if you've heard the band Soen. Soen's first album, 'Cognitive', is very Tool-sounding. Just maybe not all the crazy time signature shifts, but very Tool inspired. By Soen's second album Tellurian, they found their own sound (5 albums so far).

I know you said you rarely comment on Maynard's voice but... While you like to count timing, how about that 7-second sustained scream at the end? 🤷

For Justin's tone you're probably close enough with your SansAmp. To get to the exact tone from there you probably need to play with a pick like Justin does if you don't already. Justin is almost 100 percent a pick player which adds a bit of punch. I play bass and I don't usually use a pick because I don't really like the pick attack sound and I hate trying to eq it out when mixing. But it's probably needed to get that Justin punch for sure. I'm not one of those players that poop all over pick players. It's just not for me. If Geddy Lee can get by on a 4 string bass with just his fingers then that's good enough for me.

I think the timing is why so many people that haven't heard Tool before like this song. It's more "familiar" for head bobing etc. It's a great bass line. I'd rather you be honest with a reaction no matter what your opinion is rather than the fake reactions I see out there.

🤔 Did you break your guitar David? 😮 🤣 I don't blame you for the hype 😃

Ohhh... That it can't be in four... See you, mate...

So what your getting at is their "EVIL GENIUS'S

Tool decided to channel their inner Red Hot Chili Peppers! 😁

I am sorry, but I have to disagree on some things in your analysis. It’s D, not D# (like every other tool song that I have heard so far- I am just beginning my journey). At 11:10 it switches from 4/4 into 3/4, now aligning with the 6/8 feel that has been in the vocals from the very beginning. As a result though, it does not require the extra 4/8 that came in after two 6/8 earlier in the tsong, in order to fall together with the beginning of every second 4/4, as the 6/8 always align with the 3/4 in every measure.

David go back please
