I've always said that going to see Tool live is closer to going to see Les Miserables than it is to going to see other live bands.

You guys are fun to listen to.

Don't. Ever. Talk. Over. The. Song. The pause button is your best friend. Use it liberally. Say what you gotta say, as often as you want to, then go back 5 secs and hit play again. This was unwatchable for me. Sorry guys.

You are absolutely right that those lyrics are written specifically for this song. That's how the band works best. the other three get together and create the whole entire song to, polished. Then hand it to Maynard and he writes the words

I've figured out that Mildewed and Smouldering are their two names

More folks should be liking your video(s). I just liked and subbed. Live the dream, my friends. Ride the spiral.

The Grudge!

Greatest album ever written

They each have the set lists taped to the floor so everyone knows what is next. When you actually create a song, in full or in part, you know that music better than anyone. It's harder to forget the songs than you might think. Even the intricate parts are often written. Sometimes not. And those parts can be played differently every time it's played. Once recorded though, that becomes the "correct"way to play the song forever. I'm rambling.

They've become their own genre.

They’re their own genre

please keep reacting to their older stuff. It's simply better than their newest release.

For me, your band is only as "Metal" as your guitar tone is. Heavy tone = Heavy Metal Everyone raves about Maynard's lyrics, Danny's drumming and Justin's Bass, but Adam's heavy riffs and innovative solos are sometimes passed over. Yeah I like the bass, the drums and the singing, but man Adams playing is my favorite part of Tool. He puts the heavy in Tool. My 2 cents.

It's only half of a reaction without the lyrics. Especially with poetic lyrics. You can't just react to the music.

"The Wall of China sound" Great line. Appropriate too.

You should listen to an awesome cover by a band called Elephant Revival. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3W3YqeknrV3aLMsi=XxbDIkZI8Svk9uU5

They just finished european tour so im affraid you have to wait to see them live. I`ve seen them in Poland and it was mind blowing experience.

I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 13 years old. I was already a Tool fan at 8 years old. But damn I knew it was Tool when I heard it. And soon after went to Circuit City to buy the Album.

i strongly advise you all to either watch them live or look up a recording of them live. what you hear on the studiorecording, is what you'll hear them play live. it's mental how good they are

Blended transitions in a live show will add one nore layer to their brilliance. You have to get to a show before too long none of them are spring chickens 🌀🌀🌀

The song that made me fall in love with them. Greatest band that ever was. Cheers to you, fine Irish gentlemen!🍻

Unwavering love to yall too😊❤ as well aa the best band ever

Its Tool❤

Breathing in the mic guys. Bye

Just watched your first Tool reaction, now this one, and ima just keep going. Great breakdowns.

Fibonacci makes up many things in this masterpiece. Among them in the lyrics (counting syllables). 1 Black 1 Then 2 White are 3 All I see 5 In my infancy 8 Red and yellow then came to be 5 Reaching out to me 3 Lets me see 13 As below so above and beyond I imagine 8 Drawn beyond the lines of reason 5 Push the envelope 3 Watch it bend If you really want to see a deep dive analysis of the song, type in the following in the search field: "How Tool Used Math to Create "Lateralus" It'll blow your mind.

Sounds like ur having nice comments and nice conversation, if only captions worked... I really wanna know what you're talking about, is looks pretty interesting... But sadly, no captions, no translation to English... So I guess I'll never know... Kidding of course, but not really... Yeah, they're scarry, no playing around... The thing is, they're somehow transferring themselves fully, to us listening, I mean, whatever they took(if u know what I mean), you're high from it too.. No joke, it's a real thing.. Maybe it's through frequency, and it's like some form of telepathy, but not with words and images... It's through feeling and emotions... But, every single one that's listening (them playing ) , gets the same kinda high they(tool) had/have... They transfer you in a place they are, and you're right there with them, no exception... It feels like a combination of supstances ppl like the most... It can be a natural thing, where human body's producing same substance(s) in all those that are experiencing this musical frequency tool that's transferring them to the place where they reside while playing... I'm not trying to sound smart, I'm just saying what I think is actually going on(when ur listening to Tool)... Everybody's high, no exceptions.. and how they're doing that exactly, I can only guess... To pull something like that off, on every concert, they gotta be somkinda Heyoka empaths.. All of them... While playing extremely complex music... They are hypnotising everyone thats listening and then you get the high from them as well... But it's good kinda hypnosis, and even better kinda high you're getting from them... There's no other explanation... Im sure you already know what I'm talking about, if not, it's coming to/for ya, no exceptions.)), so... (no notifications for me, sorry, can't see anything in potential reply.. Thanks to yt, we're not exactly friends, censorship is still pretty strong, and truth is not what they like lately, so, it is what it is) ... Greetings from Croatia(from all countries)...

The final climax part just feels like going to the beach on a sunrise morning (when almost no one else is around) and throw yourself into the sea to get bathed and splashed by the salty waves! That's a true soul-healing baptism/rebirth (and i'm not even religious)!

Worst reaction to this song I've ever seen. Wow dudes that was terrible

how about Queen spare him his life from his pork sausages'. :))

You guus should do something off the Saliva release. They are live tracks including of cover song of No Quarter.

There is a recording of them doing "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent. Might try that one for a rock cover by TOOL.

This song is a tough one. I felt the same way the first time I heard it. The same thing with third eye. I used to skip those songs. ( different albums I know) but it’s because I wasn’t ready for it. Until I saw them open with third eye in 2010 in Edmonton..my damn jaw hit the floor and stayed there. Later on that night they played Lateralus. It was a game changing night. After enough Tool is consumed, you should go back to this one. It will hit different. And try third eye. It’s fuct but it’s so fn good. Anyways, that’s my rant from your typical insufferable Tool fan. But keep reacting and I’ll keep watching! Peace from Canada!

I'm gonna say it. Lateralus is the peak of music

😊

YAAASSSSS 5:34

H.

What the F. Just show me your reaction lol

I gave you shit on the lareralus reaction, but I did enjoy this reaction 😊

This is one of the oddest music reactions I've ever seen. I have a couple things to say and I mean no disrespect by any of this. 1. You started this off instantly and I don't know anything about you, is this your first time hearing tool? What is your musical taste? Are you into this type of music or not etc.... 2. During the song you guys had no reaction at all. I couldn't tell if you were listening to the song or if you were listening to White noise... 3. At the end you also had no reaction and didn't explain what you just heard. Such a bizarre music reaction. I've never seen anyone listen to tool and have absolutely no reaction. Again no disrespect. These are just things I noticed. I would suggest listening to more tool except I can't tell if you liked it or not.

Saw them twice. Just as good life

🤘🏻🌀

I enjoyed these guys at first but now they just seem clueless and I become annoyed so best wishes on their channel and thanks for at least giving my fave band a try.

Both times I have seen Tool live I have had out of body experiences. Admittedly I was high both times but

I love the sincerity of your reviews gents. And so glad you've discovered the world of Tool. Enjoy your journey

Spiral out!!!

Please you guys have to do “Pushit”, off their album before this but definitely a sonic landscape I think you might enjoy more. And the lyrics are very good

Just pure sonic and lyrical wizardry!

Fibonacci sequence is the number before the preceding number added to the next. 1, then 1, then (1+1) 2, (1+2) 3, (2+3) 5, (3+5) 8, (5+8) 13, so on and so forth. The lyrics are setup that way by syllables. Black(1) then(1) white are(2) all i see(3) in my infancy(5) red and yellow then came to be(8) reaching out to me (5) let's me see (3). In mathematics the sequence creates a neverending spiral which happens in nature all of the time. A snail's shell is the usual example.

For the Fibonacci breakdown I highly recommend Polyphonic's YT channel's video "How Tool Used Math to Create "Lateralus"" It does a great job of dissecting it, and I would love to see your reactions to the breakdown. It's about 7 or 8 min long if I remember correctly. There is really no way someone can pick it up on first listen. Most of us listened to it for years before we found out and had no idea. Been listening to Tool since 94, and love watching others experience it for the first time. Lots of us in the Tool Army are that way. Keep up the good work
