Vocal Coach reacts to Tool performing Pushit

[@BethRoars]

Hello Everyone! I have started a second channel called "Roar!" where I take on challenges and push myself out of my comfort zone. You can check it out here: kzbin.info

Percussion is "tablas" where the drum head, the skin can be pressed and pushed to bend creating those sounds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iam1fqaPp8pjaM0

This song inspired me to buy a tabla set and it's a lot of fun to mess around with even though they're very hard to play well.

10:14 "It's like Parseltongue. That's what it is. That's why I love it so much. He's Voldemort. Actually, it looks like the back of Voldemort. HHOH GOD I am such a geek." This is why I enjoy your channel so much. The pure joy that crossed your face when your brain suddenly made the connection is priceless and beautiful. You could have very easily edited it out but you didn't and I thank you for it. BTW being a geek is a good thing it means you are passionate about something.

I've been to ALOT of concerts, and I've never experienced what I experienced with Tool compared to any other band. Ever. It is like your soul is taken out of your body, and wrung dry. I was exhausted afterwards. Usually it's the other way around and I'm jacked up. But not with Tool. One doesnt simply listen to Tool. You experience it. They make sure of that.🤘

[@W1ldTangent]

Agreed completely, you put it into words better than I could. I finally got to experience a Tool concert 2 years ago after being a fan since the late 2000s and missing out on the 10,000 Days tour and suffering through the subsequent hiatus. I'd recommend trying hallucinogens and giving Lateralus a listen start to finish if you can't go to a concert... that's a trip and a half.

[@cliffyknight]

I've seen them from a place that was an old bank to Lollapalooza to just recently the Staples Center in LA. When I saw them at the Santa Barbara bowl on the Anema tour. They were so loud that even at the back my chest was thumping. And yet it wasn't too loud. Tool fucking rocks

[@cliffyknight]

@@W1ldTangent You nailed it. I can tell you the best musical experience I've ever had and I've had many was eating mushrooms and listening to Tool. It was as if the music was made specifically to eat mushrooms and list to. Fucking amazing. I never miss an opportunity to see these guys.

The percussive sounds are Danny's Mandala pads with a Tabla sample. He (Danny Carrey - Drummer for tool) studied for a while under Aloke Dutta. I was actually at the E-Center in SLC for this actual concert where this was recorded in 97. This was one of the best concerts I have witnessed. It was back when Maynard was really into it. Such a transcendent experience.

Lodogg 3323 Woah I was there in Houston Jan 14, 2016 up in the nosebleeds. Maybe I was being too critical of him but nobody can sing the way they did in their 20’s when they are pushing 50. If they come back I’m definitely getting floor seats.

[@egratudo1974]

I was there also at the E-center (I still call it the E center). out of all the TOOL concerts i went to around the intermountain west region (from 1992 - Present) This one was the best of all time. this version of Pushit is still my favorite song. hit me hard when i was there live and it hits me the same way when i put the headphones on and closed my eyes and journey through this song today.

[@seal869]

​@Lodogg 3323Interesting. I saw them in 2016 and it seemed like Maynard had definitely lost a step vocally. Still an incredible performance, but the place where he just wasn't his younger self was in belting the big notes. No surprise or shame in it; nobody can do that forever. (Most people can't do it ever.)

@@javierperea8954 lol Natural log is not "e", either. Natural log isn't even a number. A "Log" function is the inverse of an Exponential function. "Log" is an operation that is used to solve for "x", when you have an expression in the form of b^x = a, where "b" is the base of that log. So if you have 10^x = 1000, an equivalent expression using the "log'" operation would be Log base 10 of 1000 = x. So in "10^x = 1000", x = 3, just like in "Log base 10 of 1000 = x", x = 3. A "Natural Log" is a log whose base is the constant "e", which you correctly identified as 2.718... etc. So if you were to re-write this calculation "Natural Log of e = 1" in the "b^x = a" format, it would be 2.718^x = 2.718. In this case, x = 1. What power do you raise e to get e? It's the same power you raise any number to result in itself - you raise it to the power of 1.

My take on this song is about a bad time in my young life where I suffered mental and physical abuse from a high school boyfriend. I recognized the feelings right away as Maynard sang; I'm glad he asked the listeners to go to a vulnerable place, better to understand his message. It takes me back to that painful time; the song reminding me of the feelings I'd locked away, but also telling me how far I've come emotionally from then. Maynard writes about what we can all identify with, and Tool adds that beautiful music to it. The guitar that cries in pain...so familiar...the hurt, the fear and desperation that abuse brings.

[@ovk-ih1zp]

Tool, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Linkin Park... Emotion, Pain, Sadness, Rage, Hurt, Sorrow, ELATION & the BLACKEST Depths of Depression all made manifest in music & Lyrics. Maynard is a very lucky man, most of these groups saved the lives & souls on Millions of people while destroying their creators.

you know maynard hates to be the face/ focal point of the band, they thought a lot before deciding on tool and he faces away from the crowd 3/4 of the time to further emphasise that he is 'a' member not 'the' member. Its a good thing he didn't see you dis the band like that.

[@hippomancy]

@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off dis the band? i love the band. and i am aware of maynard's team-first approach, but he also has fronted APC, Puscifer, and a bunch of other one-offs. he performs, it is his modus operandi, to be an instrument, to be a vocalist performer; no stage, no performance, so he gets out there and creates. the whole band loves to create and have side projects, not all are musical ventures, but they keep busy. i have no issue explaining myself to anyone, but the fact is that the vast majority of the fandom can name Maynard, before Danny Carey (drums), Adam Jones(guitar), or Justin Chancellor(bass, since 95).

[@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off]

@@hippomancy Loving a thing does not mean you treat it with respect. maynard et al is a "your so super cool and smart, hip and edumurikated" way of saying tool, the band name, in an, as explained earlier, disrespectful way. Secondarily anybody that recognises the singer and not the band isn't worth their salt. APC, go watch the video clip for judith and then tell me with a straight face that he is taking centre-stage there, even tho its a song about his mum. As for his shitty side project, which I admittedly stopped plying attention to in all of ten seconds, in everything others have shown me he is largely behind the stage or obscuring himself (granted that may be a part of his performance there or in general at this point) but in the other two cases he denies being the front man, so how's about you show the band respect if you love it so much and abide by the members wishes?

[@hippomancy]

@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off sounds like you think you're the policeman. getting outraged on someone else's behalf doesn't mean you are somehow the 'better' fan, and that your methodology is the only "respect" to be recognized. you sound worshipful. is this something your god Maynard would smile on? chill out. been listening to Tool since 1990. been listening to King Crimson and Peter Gabriel (whom i listen to way more than Tool) since 1977. been listening to the Beatles since 1970. you need Maynard on the pedestal, which he would absolutely f'king hate, go right ahead, but others have been on the pedestal, and it's all ephemeral. i remember when Elvis died. next. respect and worship are two different things. go be someone else's priest.

[@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off]

@@hippomancy Outrage implies I have investment and\or emotion here rather than that I'm just calling you out as a fake when you claim fandom. "As for his shitty side project," clearly worship the guy, I think he'd be indifferent or happy that i think for myself and question authority tho. "chill out" the ability to crate a sound or resounding argument is inhibited by high emotions, so think I'm pretty lacking there. Not sure why you are big|)icking that, clearly massive, E-peen you got but good on you for being committed, I guess, might just be that your brain is so old its starting to rot in the case try fish and olive oil coupled whit taking on a new hobby or interest. Showing the path, of one that you claim to love, would rather you take is nether worship nor law enforcement. Priests are also something that would be against the philosophy's that the band teaches.

[@withoutwords7404]

"If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay. You minimize my movement anyway. I must persuade you another way." I know, I know... Just posting a quote from the song is somewhat cheap. As if I'm riding the coattails of another's talent. Tool's lyrics just need to be memorialized. The music itself is awe-inspiring. Maynard's voice is nigh angelic. Yet the words themselves are as deep and emotional as the other magnificient components. Even just saying them in my head, with no tonality at all, takes me to a strange place. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Dangerous, but peaceful. Terrible and beautiful. I have always loved Tool for this. Always on the fine line between things. Like a luminous shadow or the silver lining of a steel-gray sky. Sorry, I told you it takes me to a strange place. Yet, somehow comforting and familiar.

[@painter7961]

Parabol/Parabola, please. It's my all time favorite song. Another aspect of tool I've found interesting is the choice of where they lyrics are sung. Lateralus, for example, is sung with the syllables matching the Fibonacci sequence (which is related to the golden ratio) in ascending and descending order. Furthermore, the song is written in 9-8-7...the 16th (4 beats x 4 beats=16 beats=1 measure) digit of the Fibonacci sequence is 987. The entire Lateralus album is highly associated with mathematics.

It’s funny you said, he’s not a separate entity from the band. “Out in front” I believe you said. If you see Tool live, he is at the back of the stage, furthest from the front of the stage.

John Eaton, as much as I love Maynard (top 5 singers) I also know that most of his band doesn’t see him as highly as he sees himself. Many radio show hosts, talk show hosts, touring bands etc have neutral, if not negative things to say about Maynard and his arrogance and just plain asshole-ness. Look it up and see for yourself. It’s what makes him- him, I guess, but he’s really just an extreme introvert that handles his fame by being a massive prick. I still love him, lol

The beauty of his singing, especially in this version, is that he sounds like he’s trying to push through something - like he’s pushing that voice out, until it breaks through and opens up. You hear that opening up and release at the end. It’s so beautiful. And yes, listening to Tool is like a religious experience. Like a ritual.

It's one part of what is commonly called a trilogy about his mother. The first is Jimmy by Tool, the second is Judith by APC, and the third is Wings for Marie by Tool. Jimmy is a bit more cryptic, but all the together make a lovely story arc about deflection, anger, grief, acceptance, and growth as a person as a result of said grief. It's quite the tapestry.

[@russellgreen4849]

Well, no. His mother was a Christian and loved much by Maynard. He, as all of us, goes through a phase of questioning God for his mother's suffering. Judith was his mother's name, but it's more about his feelings toward her God and interpretation.
