@@ricardomartinezxx We didn't evolve from monkeys. Both humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor around 8 million years ago. Humans are apes, however, great apes, along with the common chimps and otherwise. Fully opposable thumbs came from prior humanoids around 2 million years ago and early opposable thumbs in humanoids evolved around 4 million years ago. Hope this helps. :) P.S. we are just talking space apes with delusions of grandeur and illusions of higher knowing and free will (but monkeys is close enough).

The instrument that Danny Carey used was called a Tabla. It’s a membranophone percussion instrument much like a bongo! It’s a very precise instrument, The playing technique is complex and involves extensive use of the fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of different sounds and rhythms. This song is one of the reasons why Danny Carey is within the top 50 drummers on the planet.

So, it’s like this... The song is about Angels watching humans make mistakes. To the angels, we’re nothing but talking monkeys. The section of the song that had you trippin on monkey video game music was being played by the musicians. The drummer was playing hand drums called tablas, and the guitar and bass were playing the droning sounds behind. TOOL’s music is very lush, and the lyrics are very deep(aside from a couple of songs where you can tell he’s goofing off. Here are some of their songs that you’d like reacting to.

Tool was my safety blanket throughout high school. They were my Woody and Buzz Lightyear.. Some context: this album was dedicated and centered around the life and passing of the vocalist's mother. A staunch Christian that never gave up faith after fighting cancer for over 25 years. 10,000 days. The monkey reference is a metaphor for humans not having evolved past war and conflict. Clubs are the technology that fool us into believing we've achieved a higher level of existence, but the FIRST thing we do is weaponize technology. We haven't evolved far enough to care for one another. The vocalist is an agnostic And in all honesty, the amount of metaphors in this record are staggering and spiritually deep.

It's the type of music that you are meant to feel how ever it is that you feel. And after you have listened to the songs enough to know the lyrics, it then makes you think "Is this song one of the songs that they have that is very plain to see what it's about or is it one of their songs that will make me think deeper to find out what they're trying to tell me." And they have quite a few of them. This one was easy to see was of the former. Anyway love the reaction as always.

Big time Tool fan here. First off, I'm gonna get to any other Tool songs you've reacted to but I wanted to start with an introduction. A lot of their songs are deep like a well and others are fairly straight forward in their meaning. As for Right in Two, you nailed it; it's about humanity and how we, as a species, tend to fight and kill each other over resources, be it the land we live on or for precious metals and materials. Also, Danny Carey (the drummer) has a very extensive drum kit, including special drums with concentric circles based around the middle of the pad with each circle with the ability to be tuned to a different tone. That's how he was doing the tribal beat or "ancient" as you said. Much love NLS and I highly recommend you listen to Lateralus, The Pot, Jambi, 46&2, and Wings for Marie/ 10,000 Days. I put the slash on the last one as they're a set. To be fair I recommend you listen to their whole discography.

You freaked out and paused it and the exact right time for a reaction video. I love that you loved this song.

[@KittyKarenpoo]

Alright, I'll tell ya. It's called 3 of the best musicians on the planet, starting with a true fusion/jazz drummer who is out of this planet talented.

[@cryptojuicer]

Bruh I love your insight into Tool songs. Its a real gem. I wish youd get into more of them. The Pot obviously, that song is nutty

[@fandomewhisper]

Wings for Marie / 10,000 days I can't put that transition into words. I don't even think it's real.

[@amazingflavour]

Lateralus or Vicarious are an absolute must my guy

[@braceys903]

Lateralus för sure! :D

[@jtheaveragegamer8784]

Vicarious is my shit!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@IceKoldKilla]

That sound/beat is Danny on the drums playing tabla. He has electronic pads to play the sounds he gets from other instruments or simply electronic sounds. He's sick! I believe it's Indian, iirc. Btw, his nickname is Octopus. 😂

[@MattKrogmeier]

Do “Vicarious” by Tool! Great riffs and amazing lyrics. They tend to be REALLY deep lyrically. Lots of great tracks from them! I’ve been a fan since ‘93...they’re fantastic!

[@CadetYT]

React to Tool - The Pot, you'll love it

[@EatableZebra]

The beat around 8:20 is composed of congo drums and instruments that Daney Carey wanted to try for the song.

[@beaustraley8416]

They do this shit live

[@jamesfrazier4005]

Schism has to be the next song by Tool! 🔥🎵🎵

[@ejnicks5644]

Agree!!!!

[@daryleb87]

Yes

[@NexusPhotografi]

Yeeees🔥👊✌️

[@AustinOxner]

The instrument used to make that beat are actually electronic pads on the drummer, Danny Carey's kit. The sounds are programmed in so he can make those sounds from his kit. The sounds are tabla, a traditional Indian drum. The drummer is one of the absolute best drummers to ever live and he is classically trained on tabla by one of the most renowned tabla instructors in the world. Trust me man, if you keep dipping your toe into the Tool waters, you are about to go on a very strange and exciting trip.

[@mudrunnermims5658]

You already know this vid bout to be 🔥

[@michealbeauchamp313]

That is all drums. He does bass and electric drums. The man is a beast. The best drummer

[@silaskiner3614]

The drum sound is a hand sonic. It is a programmable multi pad, touch sensitive drum synthesiser, and everyone in the world should go buy one right now, because life.

[@V6Goose]

Danny Carey is legend. Welcome to the pinnacle Shaq.

[@Bassmaster3250]

Next TOOL review should be their BEST song... and that song is LATERALUS.

[@Bassmaster3250]

Lateralus is my favorite song of all time. No joke.

[@lililililililililili9375]

wrong, this is their best song

[@drummerboyII]

46 and 2... Just sayin'

[@chickenmanfan4977]

Pushit. I just wanted to be part of the discussion. Haha. But Pushit is my fav. :)

[@Bassmaster3250]

@@lililililililililili9375 lol this isn't even the best song on the album.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

The song is basically angels watching humanity, confused as to why we act the fool when there's more than enough for everyone. And how we spend more time coming up with ways to kill each other than looking up and expanding our consciousness to grow as a species.

[@consciousamonggiants2885]

Jah Bless CC 👊🏽

[@tonycleveland1610]

It’s dialogue about the angels discussing humans. Referring to use as “monkeys” because of our lower status compared to them

[@sunlannex126]

Great job man, can't wait for more. And you're going with the sort of odd timing naturally just fine dude, all good stuff. I might be blowing my load so to speak lol, but I might recommend Tool - The Grudge for the next one when you get around to it. Also (don't quote me on this, just what I've heard around) Tool doesn't enforce copyright on the lyric videos like this, so I think you're all good to just pause whenever you feel like. Anyway loved it dude, cheers! 🍻 Edit: a few other good possibilities Stinkfist, Eulogy, Aenima, Sober, Bottom, Jambi, or Schism.

[@noelv1976]

Tool is in a different league. Especially musically. "Sober" will blow your mind

[@Runyan4PREZ]

The Grudge. The Patient. You'll go wild, Coach. It's TOUGH

[@Runyan4PREZ]

Also Shaq.. you may be King of reactions, I know you mentioned you want to be the GOAT of reactions.. I came for the rap, but Tool and Rage against the Machine, and Pink Floyd are my favorite bands. Enjoy your shit, coach. You're tough.

[@ABigMetalFan]

Tuff* lol

[@KuragariOkami]

You gotta react to Judith and Wings pt1&2 w/ lyrics for a really emotional ride... also read a bit of background on the songs... they made me cry

[@theunderdogfavorite1341]

Tool songs are made to be heard, then dissected, then re visited to really understand them! Where powerful lyrics meet powerful musicians

[@williamables4571]

They use many instruments including bongo drums my guy LMAO 😂 😱

[@jacksmith4460]

its actually Tabla

[@ryanewart7168]

For anyone interested, check out Aloke Dutta. He was Danny's tabla teacher.

[@sassafrassmaiia]

@@ryanewart7168 gracias

[@me8008me]

Sober “live” Great song and amazing stage presence

[@didoVTDM]

Dude you are so natural in your reactions! Keep on doing what you are you doing , i have always said that rap , punk and metal are brothers because they all grown up on the streets, respect !

[@LordKenyonII]

The confusion with the head banging is because tool uses multiple time signatures throughout their songs. Instead of just a 1,2,3,4 they will go 1,2,3,4-1,2,3,4,5-1,2,3,4

[@cormachayden1614]

The art is by Alex Gray. He's done some incredible work.

[@sv98753]

yeah , my paintings refer alot to his art style .... hes one of my favourites

[@ogjz7588]

Yea bro.. They a legit band and the drummer is the one delivering the myriad of sound from his drum set

[@jeremyrodriguez4606]

Prod-Mudvayne!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rorajoey]

"Japanese music or somethin'." Those sound like tabla, which are drums from India. But on this recording it sounds as if they're using a sample. They might be using triggers on an electronic drum pad/kit. From what I can tell, the time signature on most of this song is 11/8, which is also something you don't often hear in Western music. Tool are known for their unusual time signatures.

[@zackmano]

Oh man... LOVE watching u react to this! 🙌💙🙏 This ain't no river you dipping into... this is an OCEAN. 💙

[@vinniecousinofvito6401]

Tool songs: shadow walk, sober, anemia , I think I spelt the last one right but yeah Tool brings back high school for me

[@zaazoo3949]

Is Shadow Walk a Tool song? I think you mean 46 & 2.

[@marcuspowell8142]

Yeah, I really appreciate the fact that they use an assortment of actual instruments 🎸. Those sound like bongo drums. I've heard that sound many times on the train in NYC by street performers. Very cool song. Good lyrics. Nice change of pace. Thanks Shaq! Yo, you have fans on everywhere. Your fans don't just quote you on your channel. Mad dudes be shouting you out. Now, That's Tough!!! Keep doing your thing.

[@Espikay]

They were doing that with the instrument called "Tabla". They are played with fingers (No gloves or any equipment)

[@phillyfanmyers]

Suprised no one brought up a perfect circle pet

[@MrWrench78]

One guitarist, one bassist, one drummer, and Maynard. Tool is more of “thinking mans metal”. Sober, aenema, 46&2, parabola are ALL great Tool songs. You kinda jumped into the deep end with right in two.

[@lynnb6990]

Most Tool songs are the deep end! My favorite band of all time!!

[@hardeeprawat1907]

Love the reaction man! The instrument you asking about is a traditional Indian instrument called Tabla and it does have a sick beat to it and TOOL use it quiet often in their songs.

[@danielcartwright6919]

That’s def Danny Carey using sacred geometry with his mandala pads

[@erniegamboa5609]

His entire drum kit set up uses that same principle .. even their stage performance positioning which has changed over the years incorporates the Feng Sui principal which Maynard dabbled with when he worked remodeling interiors for pet stores prior to joining Tool..

[@weirdwillie]

To me the song is talking about how we evolved from monkeys to human and after all the evolution we are still pretty much stupid as hell
