BLACK AMERICAN FIRST TIME HEARING | TOOL - THE GRUDGE!!!

"I feel like I'm going down a path of endless mirrors"... Top comment I've heard on one of these tool reaction vids

[@rexahdar4199]

I agree ( and I have watched countless reactions)

[@danielwake2430]

It is interesting that that was the imagery that the music produced for him, given Alex gray's kelidescopic work, and the sacred hall of mirrors. It almost seems hard to believe in a way that someone could make that connection without knowing.

[@GimmeJimmy23]

The body language and facial expressions toward the end sold the video! This was wholly satisfying!

[@lelaalexander6925]

I've seen TOOL live 5 times and I can confirm that scream that he unleashed at the end is 100. One show he held that note for over a minute. MJK really has that lung power and vocal ability. It's incredible.

[@interdimensionalsteve8172]

Unfortunately, thanks to COVID, he may not have that capacity any longer :( COVID went too far when it infected Maynard James Keenan.

[@third3eye3]

[@garysordahl6925]

My brother...you jumped way off the deep end. You'd been better off starting slow. 'the pot' or '46&2' would have been an easier way to start.

[@dougarnold7955]

The Pot is my personal favorite but, I'm not a 'true' Tool fan in the way that Tool fans are. The Pot is a little more palatable for more general sort of Metalheads.

[@BrainDedd96]

he seemed to enjoy maybe not the length but u can tell he was loving that outro

[@garysordahl6925]

@@dougarnold7955 same here. I, personally, like A Perfect Circle better

[@MrZZsharka]

Doug Arnold Tool was an acquired taste for me but grabbed me after I first heard them at 16 when the song Stinkfist came out in 1996 off their second album Aenima. At 16 their songs went way over my head and only after I saw/heard them live did I really appreciate how unique and complex they were, as I hadn’t seen or heard anything like it before and had seen hundreds of bands live like Metallica, Panterra, Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Sound Garden, Maryline Manson, Korn, Placebo, Whole, the Offspring, RHCP etc etc If you watch clips of Tool in 1994 before half of those songs in the concert came out you’ll hear silence from the crowd during the songs new songs partly because they had never heard anything like it before. Songs like “Pushit” and “H” and a bunch more. Going from Grunge bands, to that.

[@jefflynn333]

I agreed WHOLEHEARTEDLY! Both are excellent songs.

[@b.a.5935]

Literally every single tool song is worth a reaction video. Amazing band.

[@NooDLES411911]

And I watch every single one that pops up on my feed lol

[@GimmeJimmy23]

I would counter that perhaps every song is worth at least fifty reaction videos. Or more, given time...

[@stevenphillips6127]

True fact: Maynard was the first to go Super Saiyan God.

Ummmm....Sober?!?

[@OGT4204]

Lol naw, it’s more like aenima, eulogy, flood, opiate and jerk off

[@strydervip]

This song is a spell. Starts off with a chant then they start casting the spell for you to let go of a grudge you have. Give away the stone. Let go.It's an masterpiece. Listen to it with that in mind and you will hear it the way it was intended.

[@GimmeJimmy23]

Holy frick! I think I always subconsciously got that, but I've never really looked at that song strictly in this way. I've always felt the message, but still wanted to look for deeper meanings. (You can thank the semi cryptic lyrics for that.) THANKS!

[@mvasquez1990123]

"Did somebody just power up?!" 😂 I'm dead. He does sound like he just went Super Saiyan 2

That "let go let go let go" gives me chills every time

[@badmnrz9365]

[@tmk8807trig]

What’s so powerful is he’s describing the power of Saturn’s return to greatly alter the course of our lives. Each of us has a saturn’s return so it’s very spiritually relatable and that’s what gives me chills.

TOOL will make you experience a full range of emotions. Rage, sorrow, happiness, joy.

[@JheredStern]

If this was your first Tool experience you went deep on your first song brother.

[@FvckTheFvckingSystem]

Yep

[@DarkOmun30]

Tool is lyrical acid man. Read and listen to the songs with a kick ass headset. You will be enlighten!

[@cranboogie]

Nice reaction! Few tips for Tool reactions: Use headphones - they will surely help you not to lose nuances. Only lyric videos - official videos or fan made videos will only distract you. Try experience Tool’s music without pausing - you can share your thought after the song.

[@DocJerky]

Yeah I couldn't imagine interrupting a song such as Lateralis, Third Eye, or Pushit.

[@Outzienhier]

Imagine that you couldn't imagine?

[@freestateofjones5042]

Can't get the man hit with copyright🤣 they can only go so long, must pause it

[@owenc4188]

In a good way

[@JKM395]

Yeah man! As a Tool fan, I’d suggest lyric videos. Tool is one of those bands that you can sit back and jam to, or you can dive into the lyrics. Though, some of their songs may require philosophy and science textbooks for you to completely understand. They get DEEP.

Yup was born in 91 heard parabola at 15 high and on a cruise ship jogging the top deck, my friend gave me the CD...life changing

[@bigbouncer4196]

@Danny Carvajal It's a hell of a band, one of the real artists of our generation, meaning in the music, the art, the way people have different interpretations of what songs mean, or represent.. I've got to see them live before they hang it up, I'm in Atlanta so I'll probaly have to road trip they don't like coming over to the lower east coast much

[@cameronbodell7985]

Born in 91 and heard tool at age 15 too. Music has never been the same.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Great reaction. Welcome to the TOOL army. You are in for a treat. They are their own genre.

[@FatFredyFreak]

9:42 That. Fucking. Scream...Goosebumps every time. Parabol/Parabola will give you the softer side of Tool in the beginning, then busts into one of the greatest riffs ever.

[@jakevincent3057]

One of the greatest bands in music history and they’re still here

[@justingibson6624]

You're "mirrors" comment is spot on. Gratz bro! You're beginning to get the message already, on you're first run, too! You picked a really good song, & one with some strong personal significance to me. The Grudge is jumping right into the deep end, too, as another commenter observed lol. My personal favorite is the title track from the same album, Lateralus. Pushit is a very beautiful song, either version. Parabol/Parabola are excellent. Forty Six & 2 is good. Intolerance, Reflection, Right in Two, and H. are also very good. Welcome to the club and Spiral Out!

[@crystalscolza1663]

You were so peaceful jammin to the fill..then the scream lmao That was him finally letting his grudge go. Because holding on to grudges will drag you down like a stone...spiral out.

[@mendyrckz76]

Tool is so great because there isn't a formula like "hook, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, buildup, hook, breakdown, chorus, end song."

[@LaVerdad65]

Most tool songs are actually like how you just described, more loosely I would say it’s intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus and then a long interlude/jam/solo section. Tool has lots of great hooks

the grudge is lateralus' opener. it's teasing quality is to prepare you for the rest of the album. to me it feels like a bulldozer, a massive sonic cleansing that leaves you empty and open to dive into the album

[@NealStidham]

Hmmm. Well, I'd recommend either "Pushit" or "H."' which get as close as you can get to "slow death" like you said. But "The Grudge" is pretty indicative of Tool's overall sound.

[@osuunaftmath]

"i feel like i`m walking in a room filled with mirrors" very interesting early reaction, considering tool is often described as an introspective band.

Just in case you missed the 20,563 requests from the TOOL army, LYRIC VIDEO. Much love and great reaction!

[@renreactsmore6389]

"Jambi" and "The Pot" are some of their more melodic/catchier songs.

[@AM-ko4pi]

Listening to Tool is an introspective experience. Don’t go into a song with expectations, try to go with their flow instead. Use a lyric video to understand the song better, but don’t expect to understand the track on your first listen. Tool’s songs get better after listening to them multiple times, because they reveal themselves to you more with every experience. Good luck on your journey. Enjoy it.

[@tylerrobinson8963]

Absolutely do lyric videos.The actual videos are kind of shocking and will undermine the music if you aren't used to it.

[@hugoacetx]

Omg lol. You almost looked like you were going into headbanging mode at the end there. Dare I say a convert? 😁 You definitely must do Sober then Stinkfist, Lateralus, Schism all great songs. Don't forget to read the lyrics to get an idea behind the power of the music. Free. Your. Mind.

[@TvdR73]

Loved your reaction. The whole "Lateralus" album is magnificent just taken as a whole. My vote goes to SCHISM.

[@zengardengnome]

Some of these comments are real cringy... Love your approach to reactions. ~The laid back vibe gets the subscribe.~ Especially to this "melodic slow death music" lmao. If you want a power-vibe, I definitely suggest Tool's Lateralus. Empowering, enlivening, transformative. And if you like drums, check out the live drum-cam video of Tool's Pneuma. Danny Carey is a beast. There's a long drum section in there that puts you right in a trance.

[@TheKindell4]

I know I'm late to the party, but him reacting to this song is like taking a full shot of dope your first time trying it... lol. Bro is overdosing.

[@kevorev]

You really need to be listening to this with a good set of headphones. The precision not just of the instruments as they are played themselves, but the placement of each sound in the stereo field around you when you have headphones on is crazy. Its like a massage of the ears.
