Watching Tool reactions is fun because the first time listener doesnt always know they found their favorite band

[@Nickel138]

Great reaction. This song is filled with idioms and colloquialisms or “sayings” in English in this song. It’s genius, but it goes over the heads of a lot of native English speakers, so if it’s not your first language, it can be hard to grasp. “Muddy the water” “Rob the cradle” “Get on your soapbox” “House of Cards” “Throwing stones from a glass house” “Foot in mouth disease” “Kangaroo court” “Hung jury” “You don’t have a pot to piss in” “The pot calling the kettle black” These are all sayings in English. There are probably more in the song. It’s basically about politicians who enforce these laws against a harmless drug like marijuana, and then go do a ton of other terrible things, probably including drugs. They’re hypocrites.

[@leonelsjanofwipper3418]

Yes, The Pot is definitely a 'gateway song' to get into Tool. And 'rhythm change' is a fine laymen term to expres what they are doing.

[@petrilampela]

This song has probably the most creative use of 4/4 I've ever heard. I had to listen to the track several times before I got that it's just 4/4.

[@CorwinPatrick]

My favorite 'Gateway Song' is "Eulogy".

I was fortunate enough to see Tool in concert a couple of times back in the day. As amazing as they sound recorded, they sound even better live and the unique energy they bring to their performances is unparalleled. It's truly an experience and I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance. Some things just need to be seen to be believed. ✌️

[@rockarolla9054]

My favorite Tool song. The music and the genius of the lyrics never get old to me.

[@logancreed5041]

Youre definitely right about the bass. F'n Amazing. It carries the entire song 🤘🤘

[@eccehomer8182]

A lot of people don’t realise the “solo” is played by Justin.

[@jammers1967]

Time signatures- yes, this song is more radio friendly than most of their catalog….

[@petrilampela]

It's 4/4 for the first 3 minutes and then 3/4 but it took a long while for me to figure out that the beginning is "just" 4/4. I love that they kinda fool you with the vocals in the intro.

[@punxnotdead185]

I used to love when this song came on the radio back in the day, solid 8-9 minutes of no commercials and good music lol

[@spazco8669]

@@petrilampela yup pretty basic stuff. (don't tell the tool fans though)

[@mixedmeter]

Probably their most "pop"/radio friendly song.

[@zoeherriot]

@@mixedmeter I dunno - I think Stinkfist is a much more straight up and down rock song that managed to get a lot of air play.

[@Republic3D]

Jambi is also a good gateway song for Tool, it just starts hard with the guitars and deliver through the song without too many complex rhythm changes.

[@heyskipj]

Glad you're back! Tool scratches that itch you didn't know you had. Another easy one to "get" is Parabol/Parabola. I've actually seen a decent lyric video for that one. MUST do both with no pause in between. 🤩

I absolutely love T00L. I can't explain why but I find it so calming, yet invigorating. Listening to it is like meditation to me. If I listen in my car I lose time and miles and suddenly find myself at my destination. You once asked me what I was thinking about when playing poker. Honestly, I have a tool playlist that I listen to when playing and find myself not thinking. I am just lost in the flow.

[@kevinlents9545]

Thank YOU for properly spelling T00L. It’s not Tool or TOOL; it’s T00L!

[@backforblood3421]

BTW, "weepin' shades of cozened indigo" is a reference to the udjat eye in ancient Egyptian symbolism and "muddy waters" is the way H.P. Blavatsky described "materialism".

[@BM-tr1bq]

While the Blavatsky reference may be true, it doesn’t apply to this song. The song is about hypocrites (pot/black kettle) not materialism, and to muddy the waters is to confuse or complicate a situation thereby making it less clear.

You're absolutely right in this being a good starter song for Tool. This song and Jambi were actually the first songs of theirs to get MAJOR radio play and were responsible for building a lot of their mainstream success outside of the dedicated fanbase.

[@zamdrist]

Your reactions almost never fail to put a smile on my face, for that I thank you! Tool is so distinctive, and their music always such a treat on the ears.

Always a pleasure to see someone with your experience reacting to music we know is special. Tool is such Genius music and sadly I'm going to miss their show this tour. I'm livid and angry about that but need to accept what is. I hope they will tour again sometime soon as I will feel empty and sick until they do.

Kennan is an activist.The lyrics was about a judge who he said was a hypocrite and calling the kettle black and was sending pot smokers and small time offenders to years in prison while he himself was a heroin user.Eye hole deep in muddy water means a heroin junkie holding up a spoon he just cooked heroin, meaning the judge.He was singing too about the hypocrisy of the government on pot laws in general.🖤

Her reaction and commentary was quite honestly legitimate. Dispassionate and arbitrary. She gets it. I'm a fan. Sub'd.

[@andrejvnuk7493]

It was my first hearing as well! Never heard of this band before, since I don't know these new artists very well. Just too many of them! Let me explain, My music history stops at 1990! After that family, job and other activities took over my personal life. Music wise I stayed trapped in 70's, 80's and partly 60's, my youth, so to speak. The only exception being Latino music in my late 40's, when I 've fallen into Salsa scene.I agree with Biscute, I'll have to search them out! Seems like a modern version of my preferred Prog rock from 70's.

[@eccehomer8182]

Yeah… definitely prog with a hard edge.

[@ian3314]

I love Maynard as a vocalist, but I love his attitude more. He is essentially a guy who wants to be left alone. From what I've seen, he really doesn't care for the godlike pedestal people put him up on. He just makes music and is living his life. If you like wine, you might look out for his wine that he grows and makes. It's Caduceus Cellars. Thanks for all the content!

[@Republic3D]

I think it's funny how he did what he wrote in the lyrics for Ænema. See you in Arizona Bay.

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

He also likes to troll people, especially his bandmates. There's a backstage video of him handing Danny a massive dildo with a perfectly straight face instead of a gong mallet for the end of Lateralus, and because Danny was in mid-play, he had no choice but to grab the dildo and hit the gong with it for the end of the song. Only when Danny dropped it on the ground did Maynard bend over laughing. Danny gave him a smile with the negative nod like, "You cheeky fucker." He and Maynard are super close, though, so all in good fun.

The kings of time signatures and changes. No boring disco machine drum beat in their songs. They always scared away radio, TV, and interviewers because they are true to their craft and don't worry about what they have to do or manufacture to please mgmt, executives or anyone else, imo #ToolArmy

[@orbislame]

It’s funny you say that this is a good intro song for a new listener- Maynard agrees with you. He was asked that exact question in an interview not too long ago, and he answered with The Pot. I remember the first time I heard this song was when it leaked a week or so before the album was released. It was so different from their usual sound that I didn’t believe it was really them (that was not an uncommon thing, Tool liked to mess with their fans by “leaking” fake songs). I hated this song for a long time. But in the decade+ since the album came out, it has continued to grow in me more and more. I love this song now.

[@tommythompson9565]

Been hearing of Tool for a long time. This is the first song I have heard of theirs, as far as I know. It is ok. Has a grunge/heavy metal sound to it. I have heard the lead singer live before. He seems like the real deal.

[@harryhosea6525]

Hey Biss good luck on your reaction video today I hope you have a good day today Biss

[@Gabriel_Moline]

10:15. Most of the “crazy sounds” are from the guitar by Adam Jones. He does a lot of different pedals and uses a lot of reverb. I think of his sound as Hendricks-esqu, but more intense and refined, and is absolutely incredible! Maynard has used a megaphone a few times, but all music are just guitar, bass and drums.

[@eccehomer8182]

I think you’ll find it’s Justin making all the weird sounds in this song. Adam is supplying the backing… which is also awesome and effing hard to play right.

A good analogy in a different genre - Goldie made the 'Subjective' project (Goldie and James Davidson of Ulterior Motive) for people who needed something a bit less intense than The Journey Man or Timeless, and in the case of Subjective it's not drum and bass (well, the odd song is here and there) but it's more of a mid-tempo relay of the same ideas with the same vocalists.
