When you are ready to see Danny Carey (the drummer) in action, check out the drum cam for Pneuma!

[@nozee77]

I concur. 😊

[@logancole5267]

Just commented the same

[@deanlillee3231]

It's a MUST!

[@bigdaddypiggy]

As a old man (I’m 52) who was a young man when this music was 1st coming out & as a music lover I feel extremely lucky to have been able to witness some of things I’ve witnessed & it warms my heart to watch young people “get it”…..your life will never be the same from here on out young man 😉in a good way 🖤y’all be safe

[@teddy.d174]

I’m 48…we’ve witnessed some of the greatest music in all of history. I first saw Tool in 92/93 and they’ve been my favorite band ever since. 🍻

[@gfp221]

​@teddy.d174 what's crazy is a lot of tool "fans" don't like Fear Innoculum. I absolutely love it. Descending is probably my favorite song by tool. Although all of are my favorite 😂

[@teddy.d174]

@@gfp221 They’re both incredible, IMO…especially Descending.

[@patrickfuller2423]

56 and same.

[@adam326327]

Also 52 and been on the same ride as you bro!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MatthewPazzol]

It soothes my black heart to watch you hear these for the first time. Every song on every album is mind-blowing. Enjoy the ride.

[@Mubiki]

I have always enjoyed the fact that this song is a self fulfilling prophecy. By listenting to it for the first time, you are actually living the message in the song. Even if a person were to not like it, they still would have lived the message of the song by "spiraling out" and giving it a shot. Not many songs can deliver a message and indirectly force you to live that same message while telling you about it. Kinda cool.

[@ryanhoard3842]

And this song begs to be over analyzed

[@m.ericwatson968]

hadn't thought of it that way, that's cool

[@tonyzahn8911]

​@@ryanhoard3842 While at the same time telling you not to over analyze things.

[@theig298]

My dude

[@John_in_SoDak]

I been listening to this song for 20 years and still get goosebumps every time

[@Ray-lw2rh]

Funny you said that. 1 hour ago i learned that only 50% of of people get goosebumps while listening to music, apparently we have a different kind of brain. I was blown away.

[@John_in_SoDak]

@@Ray-lw2rh didn't know that. Weird.

[@scottdolby]

Every time I heard “here we go” my brain chuckles and thinks - oh, you wait. TOOL may “bring the energy”, But I cannot be alone, to me, it always relaxes me. Very relaxing. 🌀-OUT!!!!

[@ileanright7891]

I learned more from listening to Tool than I learned in college. Complex mathematics (Fibonacci sequence, sacred geometry) in the song structure; Jung's philosophy on the collective unconscious. So much more to Tool's music when you understand the fabric they use to weave together a masterpiece.

[@timothybirkley8853]

Tool loves playing Michigan. I was at the Detroit show in '22. They "busted out" 'Undertow'. It was the first live performance of that song in almost 20 years. It was mind blowing!

[@localhoast2009]

Please go see Tool. It will increase your frequency because of your new experience in the best way possible. You will have the night of your life dude. Thank you for letting us listen to Tool with you! Keep going!

[@logancole5267]

Tool, Pucifer, A perfect circle, see them all. I think he would like grand canyon too

[@teddy.d174]

I just moved from Michigan to North Carolina upon retirement, I spent the first 47yrs of my life living there. Even if you have to travel to see them you should consider doing it, you won’t be disappointed. I saw them on their first national tour in 92/93 and three times since, they’ve been my favorite band ever since the first show.

[@logancole5267]

NC!

[@javalily]

The sound in the beginning is mimicking the sound of a heartbeat inside of the womb.

[@alexl8065]

Spiral out! Keep going! 🌀 official Audios are def much better. Glad you’re sticking to them.

[@jagwhier]

Good call with sticking with the audio only going forward. No distractions :) Since you felt Lateralus so much, you should check out The Grudge next, off of the same album. Great reaction. Enjoy the ride.

[@jdbertel33]

Would recommend the same. The Patient is a different side of tool but still very much sounds like them

[@kylemathis3872]

Man, your tool reactions are so real. I love how your interpretations of the lyrics aren’t always right, but they completely make sense too. That’s the point, we all hear different stuff.

[@hermescarpio4713]

😅❤ RATM & TOOL changed my life forever since my early teens back in the 90s....so happy to see your reactions, spiral out!

[@seanmcrae694]

I so love when someone discovers tool and really gets into it. I've been listening to them for 30 plus years and I can still get goosebumps .

[@prefono]

One day you will understand (you will understand in a small way because even after so many years, from time to time I discover a new connection) the story that connects the Fibonacci Sequence to this song. Then, when your balls drop in amazement, you'll understand the grandeur and monumental compositional effort behind this song. There are no words to describe the admiration these artists deserve!

[@DLysene]

The Grudge next! You’re gonna love it for the energy it brings too.

[@laurabuer4714]

You experience Tool. It's on a whole other level tham most other bands. Lateralus is a masterpiece.

[@mikephillips7642]

It's the fibonacci sequence,

[@Gabriel_Moline]

2:41. It’s a heartbeat.

[@zengardengnome]

I've found that most folks who love Tool just wanna spread that good feeling around. It feels great and we want others to feel great, too. Happy for you, Xanny! Tool only releases an average of about 1 album every 5 years, so it's always top tier stuff. Each band member really pushes and perfects their contribution before they weave it all together. Overall the band is pretty esoteric and there's a lot of lore, though not all of it's true/accurate. To be fair, Tool also attracts their fair share of conspiracy-lovers (of course, there's plenty of real conspiracy in the world, so I can't throw any shade). With your experience seeking out quality music, I'm curious what some of your top recommendations are, especially in your favorite genres.

[@BearInThaWoods]

The beginning of the song follows a neat structure called the fibonacci sequence. The sequence takes the last 2 numbers and adds them to create the next number, which then you plot on a graph where it will create a perfect spiral. The number of syllables in each line and the previous add up to the next line. Black - 1 And - 1 White are -2 All i see - 3 In my infancy - 5 Red and yellow then came to be - 8 This album is my favorite from Tool because of the way they really carefully constructed every song. Glad to see someone following the same journey I took decades ago.

[@t1313X6]

To me, music hits you in the heart or in the mind. Tool is the ultimate mind music. Goosebumps none the less but for sure the thinking man's band.

[@aaronwolf3587]

I’m in Arizona now but I grew up in Michigan and saw them for the first few times there. They changed my entire perspective on what music could mean to me. I highly recommend checking out the live version of Push it, from the Salival album. I first saw them on that tour in 98 when I was 18. I was never the same after. Keep going ✌️

[@PhillinRoyal]

studiio versions are better for the first listen. he wont know the difference and takes away from the changes, so at the end of it all its pointless imo

[@davidbaca7853]

You now need a glimpse into Tool live, start with Sober the live video and then check out what a Master on the drums looks like with cam view of Danny Carey in the song Pneuma.

[@voldenton]

Yep you’re right. We feel it when you feel it.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

“Spiral Out Keep Going” 🔧🌀🌀🌀👁🌀🌀🌀🔧

[@stephenmorelli6741]

Man this is 5 months old. I love your reactions . Hope you have more tool, or any band ,this my new favorite reaction channel you my boy

[@logancole5267]

Gives me goose bumps watching someone hear this song for the first time. Hell yeah

[@Cvillain626]

I love how part of the chorus is "Overthinking, overanalyzing" in a song that they wrote in the fibonacci sequence

[@codyluna7065]

tool takes you on a sonic journey. I love watching people outside the metal community enjoy it for the same reasons I do.

[@JasonNewman3]

Hell yeah, man. There will be 1,000 people about to comment about the Fibonacci Sequence. Great reaction to an awesome. song.

[@edrueter9]

The Grudge should be your next listen from the same album!! You will see, like your basement studio, Maynard has quite a set of pipes.

[@foust71]

lmao

[@natebristlin]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Bravo. Great reaction. Spiral out brother. Tool is definitely an experience. Enjoy the ride.

[@csd5343]

Nothing makes the tool army happier than watching new fans being born

[@gfp221]

So Lateralus is considered a masterpiece in music. So much thought went into every lyric, syllable and beat. Everything follows the Fibonacci sequence, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. Which creates a spiral.. and in the song he even says spiral put. Crazy shit.

[@Pohgrey]

I love the title for this video because one mantra of the Tool Army is "your favorite Tool song is always the last one you listened to," and this video title personifies it! lol

[@Tsureiki]

Wow, this video is a great first exposure to your reactions, man. Love the vibes your putting out man but I think you should have the lyrics up as a reference point when you take breaks to comment but don't read them while your listening. That's usually what I do, parse out the words while listening and then read the lyrics after to correct whatever words I'm mishearing.

[@Smrkec]

Dude... you NEED to see Tool - Pneuma LIVE with drumcam. It will blow your mind, guaranteed! The drummer, Danny Carey, is a living legend, period.

[@efren3723]

Fibinaci sequence!! Since no one so far has explained it, you should watch videos on how this song was made using the sequence. Hence the spiral out! 🌀, hopefully you read this comment lol

[@alexbarie4812]

Few years ago I was coming down off a bad acid trip and I listened to this song, and when Maynard says still be a human, it gave me chills and helped me realize I’d be okay. This song means so much to do many people.

[@michellemcnair4825]

Yes sir..thanks for making me smile today…love to see people get it. Im just waiting on the next woohoo

[@BunniMonster]

Ironically this is the one Tool song that a lyric video with Easter Egg info would have been the way to go for a reaction channel.

[@johnseward2934]

Only one of the greatest tracks ever recorded. Top tier, uber masterclass, soundscape creativity with all the feels, ideas, and technicality at full power. ps: spiral out 🌀🌀🌀 lol

[@ShannonSpurrell]

Saw them for the first time after a 30yr wait last month in Toronto…. And this is the only song I wanted them to play but they didn’t. However the whole show … was EPIC EPIC EPIC. …. Btw you have a wicked channel

[@dmwalker24]

I love the fact that Tool fans drop the spiral comments typically well before people make it to this song in their journey. Suddenly all those comments that had appeared kind of random, take on their actual meaning. This song is all about embracing experiences that can seem strange, in order to expand your perspectives, and it does exactly what it says. And if you can embrace the beauty, then everything falls into place.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

Tool uses very unusual time signatures in their music. That's why the timing and rhythm often feels so different. Someone with far more musical expertise could explain it much better than myself.

[@Viccerz]

7/8, 8/8, 9/8 to match the fibonacci sequence. Math metal at it's apex.

[@leithal1546]

Hands down the best reactor I’ve seen. You get it dude and it’s great to see someone else so passionate about TOOL. Wings for Marie with lyrics is deep and emotional. Read up on it before hand. It’s amazing.

[@timothyreason4797]

I live in Columbus OH, And Tool Played, and he also Played Puscifer as well the next day during Sonic Temple.

[@BoolFalse]

Bangers that you haven't reacted yet: * * * H pushit (from Salival) no quarter (LZ cover) the grudge parabola (10 min. merged version) ticks & leeches vicarious (audio) 10,000 days (pt. 2) right in two fear inoculum pneuma (Danny Carrey drum cam) invincible descending culling voices 7empest

[@bradybowser5182]

Dude! Just sort of stumbled onto your reaction. You done good, young man! And I find it ironic that one of the things you said has pointed you in the direction of your next Tool reaction. You said "...I don't even know what the drummer looks like...". Well, rejoice! There's actually a drum cam video of a live version of the song "Pneuma". Ya just might wanna check it out. Once you watch it you'll understand why Danny Carey's nickname is "The Octopus". The man is a BEAST! ROCK ON!...🤟🖖✌️

[@doctorgryzz3338]

My man you should react to this full album, it really is a Master Piece!

[@klipfellgames1158]

subbed for the Tool. keep going. just do it all. this is necessary. nice reaction dude. must see them live. Detroit 11/9/19 was best show I've seen.

[@SnerMerNer]

Best thing to do is pick one of their albums and listen to it from start to finish. They're one of those bands where you get the full experience if you listen to the entire album.

[@SkindrixX]

Embrace whatever may come

[@blaximum]

Literally read this as soon as the line came up.

[@RallyBud]

Yep. Feeling it with you, Brother! You get it.

[@susiejo143]

Im from Michigan, if and when Cali falls in it wont hurt my feelings, dont desire to ever be in L.A. This song here sooooooo fn masterful.. Tool was here this yr but theyll be back Ill cya there!!😊

[@scottcoolum]

Loved your reaction mate ,,,,, Yeeew 🤘Looking forward to more videos as you go down the Tool rabbit hole !! PS , Their first CD I have is called Opiate and it's from 1992

[@jams_world81]

Only way to experience Tool, eyes 👀 closed and mind open, lights out, enjoy the journey. (Great headphones is a must also)

[@PJI628]

15:41 - I remember my first Toolgasm

[@Tbanyas1]

I always love watching the Epiphany. I don’t know what I would do without TOOL. 🤘🏼 great review!

[@FuhQH8Me4Lyfe]

The most profound lyrics of this track... "Swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human" We all embody a small piece of the divine, our eternal soul which connects to all others within the collective subconscious, which is our connection to the divine, which speaks to us through intuition and our dreams. If we could only stop overthinking, overanalyzing because it only serves to disconnect us from that which wants us to spiral out and expand our horizons, anchoring us to this mundane existance without a sense of spirit to guide us. Its the ongoing internal war of Ego vs. Intuition Weve always been spiritual beings housed in a physical shell, but somewhere along the line weve lost touch with that. I highly recommend Pneuma from their newest album, or the Parabol/Parabola video from this album. 🤘 Keep going down this rabbithole my friend, on the wing of will and whim you may just go where no one's been.

[@scottmayo7545]

Audio track is the way to go. Pull up lyrics on phone with easy Google search. We know the words but good for you to reference it. Great reaction man

[@nauseantrock532]

4 magical musicians bro ..Maynard.Adam.Justin.And Danney.🔨

[@brentwalker8596]

Tool is Maynard's primary gig. He also has A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Dude's a total stud.

[@willie1062]

This is how you experience Tool. Dive into the lyrics on the second listen.

[@DusteyeMC]

pretty sure they will announce some more tour dates man! When you do I can't wait to see a vid about it man. much love

[@andyb7638]

Your best reaction yet! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@logancole5267]

The nice thing about audio only on this is being able to understand what he says. Maynard sings clearly

[@user-fm8xs3hr3w]

"46 & 2" has to be your next reaction

[@soulkitty11]

This is so fun to watch! 🌀

[@jasonstuart9382]

Great work new sub here. I seen TOOL the first time in '94

[@timskarberg8302]

Let’s fucking goooooooo spiral out brotha🌀🌀 check out right in two good job just just experiencing them look up lyrics afterwards straight banger!!!

[@nozee77]

I actually think it's even better to leave out the lyrics for your first listen of a Tool song. There is already more than enough one has to grasp musically, the lyrics can be so distracting from the music itself! 😉 Oh, and I agree with what you said: Closed eyes make such a difference. Keep going with your Tool journey, we will follow. 😊#Toolarmy

[@inspectorquaalude714]

Google their tour right now I think they're coming to Michigan. Also search a live version of a song you've reacted to and watch those to dip your toes in the water so to speak

[@LBGambit]

Welcome to the Tool Army brother, “Spiral Out.”

[@prefono]

"Aenima" isn't really about how much L.A. sucks. It's just a metaphor. Even the lyrics of the song say "try to read between the lines". The song is about how we are all going too far on our planet and how we waste our lives and potentials chasing after trivial, silly and meaningless things and how we should all change and step back before mother nature does it on our behalf.

[@FreeRangeTesters]

Exactly. I love to pair Aenima with So long and thanks for all the fish from APC.

[@foust71]

Lmao this is gold.....subbed, along for this ride...keep doin what you're doin....

[@tylerisdrawing9913]

You should check out their new album - listening to a Tool album all the way through hits so different

[@shanefritts8922]

[@bilsdweeb]

ive seen your other tool reactions so i wanted to comment on your latest and suggest that you listen to Vicarious, its such a good song by them and i have a feeling you'll really like the lyrics :)

[@tomhardy6422]

TOOL does tour in Detroit sometimes, but these guys are kinda old now, so opportunities to see them might not last. If you can go it's very much worth it.

[@KennethNoisewater1]

Look into the way they structure the timing of each song. The lyrics and all 3 instruments are built off eachother, usually in odd time signatures. Appreciate the masters while living, instead of posthumously.

[@gho5tblaz349]

Welcome to the Tool army 🤙🤙

[@zaclovesschool2273]

This shit stays relevant, that's why I've not fallen out of love with the art. Glad to see more people enjoying this, always wonderful to share these kinds of experiences. Would recommend Stinkfist or some of their earlier stuff in Undertow. the earlier you go with them, the more aggressive and pointed they are. As they've evolved, things have gotten slowed down and more methodical/spiritual...but in my opinion it's still just as hard, just with a different intension.

[@Me-myself-b3g]

IMO there is really only 2 Bands that made music that each and every production is total perfection...Tool and Led Zeppelin! Xanny, is your 3rd eye opening?
