Should try lyrics "Sober" or "Fourty Six & 2" 1st. But who am I kidding, unless he's acting completely, he is an unknowing fan already.

"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.

[@stevenphillips6127]

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

[@granthamlin8126]

Ha, seriously.

Maynard is Goku, Johnathon Davis is Vegeta , and Corey Taylor is Broly

great power in his compositions. but do you know where he gets this power? they tell you quite often...

[@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.

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

First time watching one of your Videos. I clicked because I saw TOOL. My initial reaction was... Katt Williams doing Reaction Videos?! 🤔 😂😂😂

[@JadedFish]

Same. :D

[@MrDeathyness]

Scott Garrison lmao I’m saying

[@jonrudin]

He even sounds like him. He is definitely taller. Well I mean odds are.

Katt Williams with the voice of Bob Ross & Mr. Rogers.

[@CHRISTISKING209]

I love watching Black people react to Tool. Never gets old. He heard him giving away that grudge at the end .lol. that scream. He knew it was coming from the beginning of the song.

[@nickmagrick7702]

"does casual react video" *accidentally changes life*

[@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...

[@strydervip6200]

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!

[@joshkelnhofer5454]

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

[@badmnrz9365]

every time.

[@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.

[@jimjones_koolaid]

I get those chills just thinkin about it lol

[@rodroetheli2088]

GREAT reaction!!!! there are no bad tool songs but the must listens are (Right in two) (lateralus) (46 and 2) (parable and parabola) would love to any tool reaction!!!

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

[@mvasquez1990123]

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

[@DarkOmun30]

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

[@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.

[@JheredStern]

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

[@FvckTheFvckingSystem]

Yep

[@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

[@jackmac6112]

this is by far my favorite TooL song ... so glad to see you pick that first - It will scar you for life!

[@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.

[@thecoconutgum]

Rosetta stoned 😅

[@PowderedToastMan420]

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

[@BronzDano]

Tool is a great band, I’d recommend making “sober” your next Tool experience. That was their very first “hit” and still one of their best songs. Great channel ✌🏽🤘🏽✊🏽

@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

[@curtisc2581]

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

[@kristinagrissom2331]

You should listen to aneima, prison sex, stinkfist, 46&2, ugh there is so so so many songs I can name. You'll never find another band like tool. They are so creative and awesome. Loved your reaction by the way😊😊😊😊

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!

[@ConnerSpeed6]

Parabol/Parabola. Find the video with them both put together. It will change your life.

[@renreactsmore6389]

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

[@tylerrobinson8963]

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

[@christophbresch]

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

New favorite reaction channel. You're hilarious. We'll join you on the quest and keep you from drowning. Welcome to the next realm.

[@Samoan_Metalhead]

Lateralus is my favourite album. The Spiral 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@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.

[@TvdR73]

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

[@steve.h..]

Skin this TOOL reaction is one of the best, I've been TOOL ARMY and A Perfect Circle for 20 years, I know the Fibonacci sequence, what 10,000 days actually was, and what Wings for Marie really is, but when you said TOOL just gives you little bites of food, you f'n nailed it, never thought of it like that, perfect analogy!

[@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.

[@sindelismsucks2968]

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

Right In Two Lateralus. With tool, ALWAYS listen to and analyze the lyrics

[@christophbresch]

for me, lyrics come later, the first couple of hundred listens it's just about the sonic experience. if you read the lyrics while listening you automatically get distracted from the other instruments - it would be like reading the guitar, bass or drum sheets while listening (i've done all of that, but only after i knew the songs by heart)
