ANALYSIS On TOOL & What Makes Them So Great- PUSHIT (SALIVAL) REACTION

#tool #reaction #maynardjameskeenan #metal #metalmusic
I'm a professional opera singer. My friend ‪@coacheugeneteo‬ put me on the spot to get my reaction on Pushit by Tool. I had never heard the song before. It turned into a deep analysis on TOOL and Maynard James Keenan and what makes them so great.

Thanks!

[@cristinamrusso]

Thanks so much Matt! It's still early days for this channel so your contribution will help me keep it going!

[@kingjames1308]

Maynard (particularly in Tool) tends to think of his voice more as another instrument in the band and that is reflected in the strange emphasis in his words. But its also what makes the song melt with emotion imo. Also, I have listened to this song at least 1000 times since 1996 and even to this day when he goes into the bridge "When I say I might fade like a sigh" still makes my hair stand up.

[@cristinamrusso]

This line really floored me too. Beautiful lyric.

[@emptybraincase4181]

i love how this is reflected in the slow dissolving of maynard into the background at a tool show. early on he was a front man, with front man costumes and antics. but every tour, he would enhance certain things and slowly reduce his visual impact on a show. now you have to look to find him.

[@spons1982]

1000000% Hair just stood up listening to it again even through this review

[@MLoms]

Same. Like an automatic trigger.

[@blasphemeee]

People forget how long Maynard kept his face concealed from the public

[@haleywilson520]

I've been a Tool fan for years, but suddenly I'm thinking....People roll their eyes at Tool now sometimes because the fans are known for being obnoxious, but decades from now when all the band members are gone, Tool will probably be known as one of the great legendary classic bands and be appreciated even more.

[@ShastaBean]

and with the 13 year hiatus, have earned my "biggest let-down" in music history. Just imagine what they could have put out in that time? ahhh!

[@kyleshick8360]

The whole band utilized Enochian Angelic magic to personally develop, and maximize their arts impact. The only other band to due this was Led Zeppelin.

[@ShastaBean]

@@kyleshick8360 interesting. And that's an understatement on a colossal scale.

[@5p4l2k7]

​@ShastaBean check out Puscifer and obviously APC. Plenty of great music that involves MJK put out over the years. You can't rush perfection 😉

[@jesslanders1700]

Your observation is spot on, young lady. I have been a fan of Menard's work for years. Unique, lovely, inspiring, and painfully direct (for some), their music pulls deeply rooted strings in a human being and shakes them like nothing else. Investigating the meaning and inspiration for each song will open new doors as a new fan.

[@bradleymadoff5536]

The whole salival album was a gift to the fans. You lied is a hidden gem.

[@spons1982]

that scream at the end, iykyk

[@natc2940]

Soooo goood changed my thought process on life

[@ForeNut]

You Lied is actually a Peach cover, I believe. Justin Chancellor's previous band.

[@maxobb7259]

Their version of You Lied is probably my 2nd favorite song of theirs and I'm so sad it's not on spotify

[@SteveFrench_420]

​@@ForeNutyep. You are correct. It is a covet and the original, by Peach, sounds like TOOL. Peach opened for Tool which brought attention to Justin as a replacement for Paul D'more.

[@AcuraTechMan]

One of the greatest songs ever created.

[@Andy-nl8uq]

And I feel like one of their most under-hyped. Sober/lateralus/aenima/right in two get a lot of attention, but push it is one of my faves.

[@toolrocks10]

Pushit is my top 3. Lateralus, reflection, and pushit, but not this version.

[@gagelindell271]

They have been playing pushit live (last tour) and my goodness I cant remember singing with a crowd so damn hard like that ever. It was sincerely like a love letter to the crowd and the band at the same time. Maynard and Danny gave a massive high five after it. You can tell they enjoyed the feedback from the crowd. Grateful these guys are still together, firm handshakes to all of them.

[@toolrocks10]

@@gagelindell271 yeah they played it in Phoenix last year. It was great.

[@jnice6537]

Third eye is the greatest. Aenima is the greatest album of all time.

[@Poemiserable]

I must have seen a thousand Tool reactions at this point-and I've been an avid Tool junkie for most of my life-, but this one was exceptional. One of the best around. You two are effortlessly charming and endearing.

[@jjwclines]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@badmotorfinger007]

I completely agree and I was about to comment on that as well. If there are more reaction songs, I want to see these two again...with these two I know the pieces fit.

[@swirleynoise2424]

new watcher here. i would like to say a few things. i have seen tool live a number of times and after their live show i feel like i have been beat up every time. its such an intense experience. the entire band are so amazing talented. they are almost alien live. like they dont move around on stage because you may see the cable that attatches their brains together. they can jam almost randomly for a half hour then suddenly on the 1 they alll come together like a kick in the chest. you go into a trance then get violently pulled out but in an amazing way. just such an amazing band and live experience.

[@michelleliberman5493]

Yes! I saw them 20 yrs ago and it was.... visceral. I hope I get the chance to see them again.

[@cuttingedgecomix]

Great words here man, well done.

[@dt90891]

Shrooms made them holy in my experience. I got sober and changed my life with Tool and APC as the trip soundtrack along with some deep meditations and focusing on forgiving myself and being dedicated to change as well. Came out on the other end a better me. Medicinal mushrooms could change the world.

[@CappuccinoZilla]

I’m going to 16 and 17 this year for me and I always feel like I need a day off afterwards. Esp when the set is like this. One show in Boston a few years ago took the life outta me and I’m one of those guys that really sits and listens. Great way to put it

[@JasonWjddphotography]

you should feel... WHOLE. :)

[@GeekFurious]

Maynard is an interesting person and artist because even after 30 years of enjoying the music he makes, I still can't confidently say the stage performance is the artist reacting to the music or if it is all thought out and executed for maximum effect. He is a very honest and sarcastic and feminine and masculine and tough and soft person.

[@Egoblivion]

He has this weird way of moving that’s imo just overflowing talent with body-control and expression. To my knowledge, he’s never just danced in a “normal” way, but what’s funny is i think he would be a fantastic traditional dancer. He _has_ to “avoid the cliché” with every move and knows that if he lets himself be vulnerable and feels this thing we call music in an improvisatory way, actually reacting to it then it will be successful. So he looks “awkward” like that because he just has this thing for it and Tool’s music just amplifies it.

[@JeramieW]

Greatest lead vocalists and showman in rock history Tool live is a life changing experience. No other musical performance will affect your mind, body, subconscious the way TOOL does.

[@nathans84]

I remember in 96. I was 14 and my older brother said here you go little bro and gave me this album cassette tape. I was forever changed by this band. They became and still are my favorite band.

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

Great reaction, and I’m here for your Tool journey! Don’t worry about the pausing…Tool fans have heard these songs thousands of times and have probably watched tons of reactions, so they are here for your genuine and professional(as a singer) opinion. Maynard doesn’t consider himself a lead singer, he sees himself as another instrument in the band…a band which seems to have a lead drummer, a lead guitarist and a lead bassist, depending on the track. Can’t wait for to hear the breath control on The Grudge, which your friend eluded to, and for you to see the octopus Danny Carey in action on Pneuma…but as most will tell you, they don’t have a bad song, and each one is a different journey. Have fun spiraling out🌀!

[@sevendeep]

Most of the tabla in the track is Danny triggering sounds off the various pads on his kit. The part at 16:10 is one of the special moments where Danny's tabla instructor Aloke Dutta joined them on stage and the two are playing together.

[@Egoblivion]

Yes! I was looking for the “it’s Aloke Dutta” comment…I mean, i owned the Salival VHS and he was definitely listed in the credits…it got lost down the line; I’ve seen many reactions to this and I’m usually that guy. 😆

[@jjwclines]

You hit the nail on the head with Maynard's movements. I think he is becoming one with the music, and he could careless what people think.

[@mrfrosty11111]

The expression on the guys face for the first minute or so is every single Tool fan ever showing off Tool to someone for the first time.

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

She has a great insight, and He adds a nice comedic human touch to the show. It's a good dynamic. Hope they both do shows together again in the future.

[@FahqTyrants]

16:37 the face of the T00L friend showing friend T00L for 1st time. On left is the friends face experiencing T00L for the 1st time 😂💪

[@thing12games44]

Can’t wait for more Tool reactions from Cristina. It’s always so fun to go on a Tool discovery journey with new folks. 😊

[@lesliedavis2185]

I love tool live, it is a whole experience, the music absolutely belts you in the chest

[@frankphillips7436]

The last Tool show I saw had preachers at the gates telling the audience that they were entering hell and I waited in line for the bathroom with a guy on several hits of acid freaking out because they started playing Jambi!! What an amazing night!

[@strongemotion]

In this video, Christina points out the techniques that we, as Tool listeners and fans, have noticed and felt in this track forever. The reason I love good reaction videos is that some experts like her have a depth of understanding to describe the performance with amazing clarity. It's great that she likes and admires it, and even more to break it down.

[@novantium3760]

Wasn't expecting to open this and see Eugene Teo!

[@markfernee3842]

What I love is that you didn't just focus on Maynard, but also appreciate the other members of the band. It's pretty common to hear people laud Danny's drumming, but Adams guitar and Justin's bass just so seamlessly blend together. The entire musical experience is a mastery. The complexity that Tool puts into their music, yet still producing something beautiful is pretty rare in the rock/metal world. It's more something I'd expect from classical music.

[@NoisieBastrdd]

whomever has been in a toxic environment with his/her partner in this situation will shiver everytime this song plays. It's so emotionally strong and heavy. I had to go through some shit with an ex of mine to really connect to what he's trying to convey.

[@bradical7772]

For real! Shivers and teared eyes every time. Same situation as well.

[@akashicfibers8205]

This track gives me goosebumps nearly everytime. So emotive.

[@matthewhall7496]

This song is about his mother sexually abusing him.

[@NoisieBastrdd]

Not gonna lie, never saw it that way, that's hard@@matthewhall7496

[@marnier2927]

Yes - this song makes me feel sick, but somehow it’s not in a bad way. It’s just so intensely spot on. One of my favorites. Would love to see her reaction to Songs for Marie & 10,000 Days. That build up can bring me to tears.

[@huberisme]

Pushit is a song that explores the theme of being pushed to the edge by a toxic relationship. The lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who is struggling with their own inner demons and trying to find a way to cope with the pain and anger that they feel towards their partner. The song also reflects on the idea of redemption and forgiveness, as the speaker wants to make things right and heal the wounds that they have inflicted on each other. There are different interpretations of what the song means, and I think that’s part of its beauty. Some people think that the song is about Maynard James Keenan’s childhood abuse and how he dealt with it as an adult. Others think that the song is about drug addiction and how it affects one’s mental state and relationships. Some even think that the song is about meditation and finding inner peace. I think that the song can mean different things to different people, depending on their own experiences and emotions. I think that’s what makes Tool such a great band, because they create songs that are not only musically amazing, but also lyrically profound and meaningful. They challenge their listeners to think deeply and critically about themselves and the world around them.

[@jeffmclearen1421]

Loved Toll since I first saw them in '93 at Lollapalooza. Their complexity and rhythms keep people hooked. The whole band are wizards. Love them.

[@dudeguy8686]

5:12 Rock certainly has angrier music, but when things mellow down, when the acoustic guitars come out, a certain magic happens, and Tool is definitely one of the best at expressing those different layers together. Thanks for sharing your reaction and thoughts on the song! Looking forward to Lateralus and Parabol/a, if y'all find a chance, though their whole discography has something to offer

[@bkazmer]

Your (Both of you) did such a great analysis of the band, the vocals and the music. I have never seen such a comprehensive breakdown of all the intricacies of these guys. Thank you so much!!

[@michaelshelton3910]

Listen and digest “Right In Two”, “H”, and “Flood”. Also, Maynard writes the lyrics around the music.

[@Shake69ification]

I always loved the album version, but when I heard this, I was just blown away. Still love the original as it has a different feel, but this takes you to a whole new place.

[@ecrogue4496]

The wine reference is so dead on. Just stumbled on this vid as an avid tool fan and it's amazing to see someone who isn't familiar with them experience them for the first time. Live the show is possibly the most fantastic a person can experience. It'll shake you to your marrow.

[@williambrookings722]

One lead singer who I would put in the same league as Maynard in the world of Rock is Skin from Skunk Anansie. They are an old UK band from the 90s and really underrated. Check out I can dream from their first album, she is phenomenal

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Actually, Danny's tabla teacher (Aloke Dutta) sat in on this recoding. So there are two drummers for this specific performance. EDIT: Do the 3rd Eye video from the same show🌀🤘

[@7empest00l]

True, but Danny does simultaneously play some of his mandala drums too and on other live performances has done it without him which is insane to me haha

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

@tool46n2 Yes, no doubt. 💯 However, the live performance of the "Salival" version they watched is not quite the same as the album version. But I will never go as far as to say he isn't the 🐙 Simply making a factual statement about this specific recording.

Loved this and your video on The Grudge! Was very pleasantly surprised by the presence of Eugene Teo as well, was not expecting to see him in a video like this but it makes sense that he'd listen to tool

[@cjhamilton_art]

Choosing a favourite Tool song is virtually impossible for me. But I'm so glad you went with this live version of Pushit to listen to. If you told me I could only listen to one Tool song again for the rest of my life it would be this song, and this Salival version. I always find this song when I'm around rock bottom of my depression and it always marks the ascent back to the surface. I was listening to 46 & 2 earlier today in a "I need some Aenima in my head" moment and here I am again back to Pushit. Up we go I guess. Ah Tool, been my best friend since '96. lol. Fuck, I feel old.

[@katrinalj]

Tool triggers that ancestor DNA when we used to do these chants before huge battles and before hunting our food. Our society today with supermarkets forgot what these chants gave us spiritually and tool unlocks that DNA that thousands of years ago was built for surviving.

I hope you guys check out the live 1995 performance of their led zepplin cover of "no quarter" in 1995 or 1998 ( i think). Maynard's live performance is amazing on both. Also, you get it with the live performances. I'd love to see her reaction to thom yorke of radiohead with some of his live performances from live from the basement. Then again, I see that Cristina did a cover to a Jeff Buckley song, which means I have no doubt that shes already familiar with radiohead and their work. Either way, I loved seeing your reaction!

Danny is a jazz drummer. He was a studio jazz drummer in LA when Tool was started.
