His posture embodies the character within the song. It's amazing how easily he can control his vocals without being planted.

He really does whatever he feels like doing on a song/tour. I know that sounds overly simplistic, but it's true. I saw them on the 10,000 days tour and you never actually saw him clearly. He was in the back to the left of the drummer for the entire performance. The whole back of the stage was giant screens, so you literally only saw his silhouette the entire performance. But I've also seen him perform in women's lingerie... so yeah. haha

I saw him in Nashville on Tools tour with Primus. He stood in the back shadows the whole time in full riot gear. I only know that because he posted a picture prior to them coming out on Instagram. I didn't see him the entire show. But we didn't need to, it was such an incredible experience seeing those two bands.

Saw them last year on this date actually in Connecticut. He had two platforms behind the band that he'd use and hide in the shadows or he would just sit down while he was singing.

Hello lovely lady! MJK is in the character of the addict while performing this song, it's not that's he's on something. The song was about someone he knew who struggled with addiction issues, and MJK really wasn't one to indulge. This is early in Tool's career, and in the years since then thru now when they tour, he's usually in the back of the stage, mostly in darkness. Part of this is that the lights throw off "the zone" and the emotional feeling in which he performs each song, but also because he feels that his voice is just one part of the band and no more important than the drums, guitar, or bass, so why should he be out front. Fun fact, I met him when he was in art college. My GF at the time was roommates with a woman who was in some classes with him and brought him over to their apartment a few times. There is a recording of him with his old band (C.A.D.) performing a song that includes some of the lyrics from Sober that was recorded at the local public tv station. It's sometimes found here on YT, but has been pulled down before. My ex-gf was one of the people working at the station that day.

Hell yes!!

early tool is assuredly distressing, disturbing and dark, and the music and mood unsettling. maynard's demeanour, the frailty of his voice and vulnerability of his persona is what sets them apart for me. it's often painful to go through it with him, especially once you know the lyric and can understand the themes. pure art.

I was there for this, many years ago. Still can't get enough of watching people see it for the first time.... Takes me back. Glad you enjoyed it.

I’ve seen the performance and many reactions to it, but I took my time watching yours. Great job!

I have been a massive tool fan since the first time I heard there album undertow when I was 18 yrs old, which is almost 25 yrs ago. Brilliant band, Maynard's voice is mind boggling. Another great reaction as always. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🤘💞💕

I enjoying your reactions as always and a early happy birthday to you ..

Katriinka, you are truly an outstanding analyst of vocal performance. You could have easily cashed in on this one, but you really picked up on the subtleties of the performance and sought to understand Maynard's intent. Tool is my favorite all-time band, but I've been so enamored with Nightwish for the past year. I've seen you react to both many times, and I can truly say you are a legit reactor who seeks to do justice to the extreme effort these performers give to us. Thank you!

I love your reaction, your spot-on critique of how the band works together to paint a picture of the internal process of addiction and the cuaos they create in the world around them

I really enjoyed your video. I like the fact that you know what you're talking about, and that you get excited for vocal abnormalities. I was mostly incredibly excited that you recognize that his posture wasn't poor just tilted I subscribed and look forward to many more of your videos

Your quote: Standing that way on stage, lyrics lyrics lyrics. He is performing and playing drunk, for the song is about struggling with addiction "drink forever...start things over".

The way you noted how they were creating an "unsettling" feeling at the beginning was spot on and was absolutely intentional. The official video for this song is pretty much the definition of unsettling.

This one my favorite rock performances. He really embodies the struggle with addiction. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

you are an intelligent person. I don't know why I am so addicted to tool reaction videos .... subscribed

You need to react to EDDIE VEDDER from PEARL JAM. Amazing. ✌🤯

Happy birthday!

this singer - maynard has had a few bands over the years- he had a band after tool called a perfect circle- there is a song (there are many) but there is one called magdalena that is so good it gives me chills- idk if you would appreciate it as much as sober - coming from a vocalist point of view but overall it is my favorite maynard track- you should give it a listen and potentially a review - anyway thank you for this - it was unexpected to hear a classically trained singer appreciate the heavy music that i enjoy - i never understood how people dont love this stuff as much as i do - so it was a treat to hear someone like you give it the respect I know it deserves

“We are be looking at The Tool ‘Sober.’” Is my favorite reaction intro ever. So stinking sweet. I love it.

Every time I hear this version I have no words.

I discovered Tool quite recently (1 year ago) and it was a chock. I recommend you watch drum cam version of pneuma (Dany Carey). Unlike other drumcam videos I’ve seen the sound mix is still regular (some drum cam video are just raw pickup and can’t hear the rest of the band as good). Not suitable for vocal coach reaction but still worth watching for yourself. This drummer is incredible.

Trying to crawl out of his own skin is probably the best way I've heard the feeling that he's portraying described

"the tool" how adorable!

Yes!

Loved your video! This song is one of the earliest songs written by Maynard (Tool's singer) and it's about a who's struggling with addiction. This is why it's one of the most emotional songs by Tool.

Unsettling... yeah that is a good way to describe it. Addiction in many forms is a complete life drain. If you have not lived it, it is almost impossible to describe. I feel like he really catches the feelings

I had a lightweight version of that experience watching the band Spear of Destiny back in the 80's. At one point the singer stared at me and I was sure if he wanted to rip my head off, the hate poured out of him. I suspect he didn't like the cut of my jib! If Maynard stared at me, I'm sure I'd have a Coronary.

Hi Katriinka, shout out to you from The Bahamas - I love your reviews/reactions... I think, in the genre of rock/alternative, a voice that may be incredibly different and unique and engaging would be the singing of Layne Stayley of Alice in chains. It's definitely a raw rock voice, but with some great blues and interesting range and mood. Love Hate Love live is a great one to start with, but there are many others that will amaze, like Nutshell, and Down In A Hole, Rooster and others - so many awesome songs and styles.I hope you

I can tell you are very knowledgeable about singing. Very good analysis of pitch. I tend to prefer perfect intonation, but I think the distortion works much better for the emotional weight of this song and performance.

Very emotional, especially when I can relate 😔

Ok there are good voices , gr8 voices and unique voices . The most unique voice I ever experienced in my life is from a 70s progressive rock band called " pavlov's dog" mostly known from a song called Julia. To fully understand the potential of this voice pick any song of this band and listen it and with a vu meter on u will experience something u can't c in any other voice through time. Enjoy. Helios from Greece.

Tool das welt meister

Your comment about being born the year of this concert gave me a 'lightbulb moment' that the Tool t-shirt I got from this very concert is also as old as you are...... Ouch.

It is mainly strobe lights that freak him out but yes he’s usually in the back ground isolated.

Me sorprende saber de tí. Realmente eres muy Hermosa y con comentarios muy bien dichos. Felicidades y Suerte.

Ja, Tool ist mein Ding! :)

I tend to troll KZread for these kinds of reaction videos when i am on nightshift and i have to say i am finding yours actually give me a bit of a different perspective on songs i have known and loved for a long time, so thank you for that. This is a great showing of early Tool, but if you want a true treat i highly recommend reacting to the live version of the song Pushit from their Salival album. Not only is it's recording quality better but it is a much better representation of what the band has become as it has aged along with you.

I like.

That's true with the stage fright. I think he was tryna do some weird stuff to see what he could do with it and see if the crowd still loved it. So he could get comfortable

If you want to see the transformation in Tool check out Pnuema from their last album. Also Danny Carrey shows why he is considered one of, if not the, best drummers of all time. Heck, it shows how great the entire band is.

The drums.

I see TOOL, I click. Simple. 🤘😆🤘

he is in a character in this performance

i really really really want to hear this lady sing this song for some reason- this would be such a good song to hear covered by a trditional singer - she couldnt do what maynard does but it would be interesting to me to hear her do what he is doing in that song

KING DIAMOND- SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ( live at the Fillmore) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

even Tools new stuff is powerfully voiced. MJK is one to put 100% into his part of the performance. I actually envy his abilities, hes also owner of a vinyard and works it manually as well as with equipment. I have 5 bottles of wine from his vinyard. hes a mixed martial artist, and go check out his other performances with other bands!

The song was based on a friend of the group where the dude wasn't creative or fun without being under the influence hence the name sober

Please analyze "Elizabeth" by Kamelot from the "One Cold Winters Night" DVD. Roy Khan is an amazing performer and doesn't get the credit he deserves!

If you're into drummers, they have a living legend in Danny Carey. The singer, Maynard, has amazing range and power even after all these years. It is nearly effortless for him. Their live concerts are so on point, it sounds like it came from the studio. He did sing with Tori Amos once for a benefit concert, small parts of the song, but it shows how beautiful his voice can be when he wants. "Muhammad My Friend" is the song if you want to check it out.

Try Alice In Chains unplugged- the songs Frogs - Would -and Nutshell !!!
