Buy a ticket to see them live the first chance you get, I promise you will not regret it. They're one of the best live bands, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a single person who disagrees with that statement. 🤘👽

Truly the greatest! ......And I've seen A LOT of live music back in my day.

[@davidbrown5714]

Agree! Just saw them October 20 2023 at the Tacoma dome, Tacoma WA!!! It's a must experience for sure

[@Halewillly]

Seem them 3 times, each time was its own, greatest live music experience. And I too have seen quite a bit of live and good live music.

[@iplaybass6690]

@@davidbrown5714 watched em on the 19th in portland, did they mention how quiet the crowd was, maynard said he planned on embarrassing us in tacoma lol...was like my 12th tool show , was just as good as the first one

[@Is.this.thing.on-]

I’ve seen Tool live 6 times. I wouldn’t consider it a concert, it’s an experience, and different every time. Definitely catch them live if you can.🌀

[@jasonpickett2448]

Fun fact, this song is composed in fibonacci sequence, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 etc. When you put it in a graph it makes a "spiral". Its a sequence discovered from patterns in nature like the way plants grow, the way seashells form, and so on. But the spiral is a referance to "the butterfly effect" each action opens another path and each decision feeds off of the last. So in a nutshell as you move through life make your choices then stand by them, "ride the spiral to the end" so following your lifes path, "and may just go where no ones been" well thats pretty self explanatory your path is different from everyone elses so where you arrive will be unique.

[@jasonpickett2448]

There are so many advanced concepts in their music it is hard to condense it into a short paragraph. You'll have to do some of your own reserch, sorry but it's worth it.

[@jasonpickett2448]

"Black" 1 "then" 1 "white are" 2 "all I see" 3 "in my infancy" 5 "red and yellow then came to be" 8 "reaching out to me" 5 "let's me see" 3..etc (in a spiral). This also applies to the note placement but that's a lil over my head to explain

[@NorthernDiscomfort]

You are actually ‘spiraling out’ now. Listening to new music, learning new things, expanding your horizons, opening your mind for new experiences. And the more you learn and experience, the wider the spiral becomes. Ride that spiral into the unknown dude and you will experience amazing things.

[@DoogieH92]

THE GRUDGE THE GRUDGE THE GRUDGE! you have to listen to that. One of the sickest TOOL songs ever made

[@haloaflame8164]

One of my favorite songs too. They have so many great lyrics "Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and Transmutate this cold and fated anchor. Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and Transmutate these leaden grudges into gold."

[@violindylan]

YES!!!!

[@RickmoZamms]

They do the grudge live so well. Vicarious may be their best produced song of all time.

[@tarnin]

Your favorite Tool song is the one you are currently listening too. So glad you are enjoying the journey. Spiral Out!

[@robertdysonn]

That’s what I’ve always thought, I can’t really name of favorite, because which ever one I happen to be listening seems to me to be my favorite at that point.

[@TheVaan1]

I think that is the very essence of the Tool army.

[@RosettaStoned462]

Absolutely. I don't have a favorite. That's impossible.

[@ethanfowler1752]

You have to watch the live drum can of Pneuma by tool so you can get a feel of just how masterful Danny Carey is at his craft, truly a once in a lifetime band

[@FatalJestor]

First react to the song.. then react to the drum cam video.. it will be more of an eye opener

[@lunaticmoon2941]

Yes !!!!!

This!!!

[@ValexNihilist]

Do it!!!

[@skumbagburnz]

They are each masters of their craft. Put 4 of them together and you get masterpiece after masterpiece.

[@dmwalker24]

Not only understanding it intellectually, but also being able to experience this song through that understanding is kind of a Tool fan entrance exam. Maynard tells you to 'embrace the random', and 'embrace whatever may come', and then the band proceeds to musically push reality through itself. The true beauty of this song is found in gaining the ability to take it all in.

[@patrickfuller2423]

well said.

[@violindylan]

YOU are responsible for me having a sleepless night last night- and I cannot thank you enough!!! If it was not for your reaction, I would not have known that Tool are going to be touring all over Europe again next year. So I immediately checked their tour calendar and realized they are playing in Cologne, too. I felt like a child on Christmas Eve! Needless to say I purchased two tickets, so I will finally get to see them live, too!!!

[@nozee77]

They are coming to Cologne again!?! So stoked to hear that! Although the sound in the Lanxess Arena is not the best, but it's still Tool!!! Edit: It's at my birthday as well!!! So cool! We just sold one kidney to pay the hefty ticket prize, but Tool is the only band worth it.

[@jhannadawson5341]

Just saw them the other night. I PROMISE YOU, you will not be disappointed. Mind blowing show.

[@Ajonr]

There's a common dialog amongst members of the Tool Army "Q: What's your favorite song by Tool? A: The last one I listened to."

[@patrickfuller2423]

and, there Tool fans, and people who haven't heard Tool yet.

[@roadkill7314]

I'm and older classic rock guy (Pink Floyd's my favorite band) and in my opinion Tool are very special. I also think it's perfectly ok to just love them sonically. Yes, their lyrics are very deep and for those willing to dive down into them they can make the music even greater but it's not a requirement to enjoy this or any other band.

[@SailorJohnPresents]

Every Tool song has more layers than you can imagine. They are in a category all their own. The more you listen the more you see. The deeper it goes.

[@crawlingcrabs8306]

Just FYI: subscribing specifically for Tool reactions! Love your authenticity!

[@UnethicalLogic]

Tool's music is the best medicine.

[@tonyzahn8911]

The best thing about this song is that everyone goes nuts about the math reference in it, when the gist of the lyrics is basically "don't overthink things, step outside your comfort zone and try new things."

[@roneldridge9281]

Spiral out to me means...to let your spirit reach beyond - into the unknown gaining insight about yourself along the way. Do not be afraid of organized chaos.

[@crystalscolza1663]

Amen. Good example. And tool sonically helps you on your journey.

[@johnseward2934]

and unlike a circle, a spiral never goes through the same territory. Keep moving and changing.

[@syx3s]

if you _EVER_ get the chance to see tool live and can afford it (not cheap anymore, for good reason) you can't pass it up. best live shows you'll ever see. that's a promise.

[@monkeycutter]

The last 5 notes register 8.3 on the Richter scale. The ending kicks me in the teeth every single time.

[@nathancarmichael7050]

My favorite band of all time, helped me through the light and dark times.

[@Pohgrey]

The Fibonacci sequence is what you get when you add the previous 2 numbers in a sequence to derive the next number. 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 8 = 13, etc. You get 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so forth. Which is basically the mathematical equivalent of a spiral, and it's found literally everywhere in nature, from flower blossoms, to snail shells, to pine cones and galaxies, and much more. Tool based a lot of this song around that sequence. It's found in there from the number of syllables in the lyrics, to the changing time signatures, and even the length of the song. It's pretty mind blowing stuff. Man, you're discovering and reacting to some of my all time favorite bands and songs here. I'm enjoying hearing and rediscovering bands like Tool and Metallica *Vicariously* through you the first time again!

[@efam7719]

Tool makes you drop some tears men, you dont have to be shame of it, that's how we the lovers of good music feels with bands like Tool or in my case Iron Maiden too 🤟🏼

[@patsstuffclark9522]

Love "stank faces"!!!

[@MNelson900]

Before watching the full reaction, I must say this: if Tool is coming to the city you live in, or near it, do NOT pass on seeing them, for any reason. Do whatever it takes to get a ticket. See them now before they get too old to tour. Okay.. now that that's settled, I'm going to watch your reaction lol

[@kildemahll8908]

We all miss something. Don’t feel stupid. This band can never be unlocked.

[@ajrob77]

Don’t even try to pick a favorite Tool song… it depends on the day. Lol. My consistant favorite is “The Grudge” because it speaks to me on such a spiritual level… Maynard writes his lyrics from the perspective of humanity - as in, things all humans experience through life on one level or another. His lyrics are deeply philosophical. He also has a wicked sense of humor (as does the rest of the band) so many songs are metaphors and have tongue in cheek lyrics. I am sooo excited to watch you go on this journey. All of us Tool fans remember the awe and wonder we experienced when we first heard these guys, and the closest thing we get to experiencing that again is watching someone who connects with music like yourself experience them for the first time. You’ll reach your channel number goals - spiral out - KEEP GOING 😊🤗

[@laurabuer4714]

If you really want to climb in Maynard's head, go to Jimmy and start the journey about his mother's aneurysm. It will leave you a changed person, but it also spans his other bands, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer.

[@markbeitle5297]

I was about your age when this album came out and I just remember everything changed in the way I thought about life! Spiral out man!! Keep going!!

I've been listening to that song for over 20 years, and I'm still discovering things about it. Glad you are hearing this, because Tool is an experience.

[@Arealdruid]

If you want to see how deep and personal TOOL songs can be, you should check out Jambi. It is about the singer Maynard's mom passing away, and it is one of the few songs that actually makes me choke up.

[@Smith19858]

Welcome to the TOOL-army! No need to apologize about missing something. I've been a fan of theirs for about 10 years now and still i pick up things sometimes i haven't noticed before. There's so many layers and intricacies that it'll keep drawing you back. Might i suggest Pneuma or Right in Two as your next? Have fun ;-)

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

You're not just crying, your soul is finally escaping for a much needed breather. TOOL music unlocks the inner psyche of our emotion, feelings, desires, fears, and needs. Spiral out!

I started to type out a book about the fibnacci sequence and how it applies to this song and realized it was such a big book nobody would read it. lol I really really really recommend you watch this video (it would make a good reaction) to an analysis of Lateralus which goes in depth. It's an insanely detailed song. Please consider doing this one or at least just watching it on your own. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4CrnJh-Z7uUe5I Love it, keep up the good work.

Tool was my first concert experience, Oct 19, 1996 at the Wilson Theatre in Fresno, USA. I've seen them 6 times. As your attorney I advise you to go even if by yourself.

So after my first comment I did some more research.... I started watching TOOL reaction videos during 2020. We all remember 2020, right??? So since then there have been a few reactions to Swamp Song which I watched them today but.... I still stand by the fact that this is EARLY TOOL which most don t react to as much and they (TOOL) were still great and beyond their time back then. Still aching for more reactions to this song because it is better than 46 & 2

The sprial out reference is about the golden spiral which is prevalent in the universe.

[@Halewillly]

You MUST go see them! Especially after your apt Floyd comparison. Tool is an EXPERIENCE! I have seen a lot of good live music, but rarely were they such an immersive experience. Tool is a band anyone could forever geek out on, and that is intentional. Maynard in particular loves to fuck with the fan base. So there is always their technical skill, but the “depth” of the lyrics, the “esoteric” and “secret” meanings, etc. it allows everyone to be a justified music snob..lol.. Then there is Danny Carey on the kit. And it is a MONSTER kit. Widely considered one of, and some argue THE GOAT on the drums. I know nothing about music, but even I recognize his technical skill. That man looks so smooth, that he COMMANDS your brain to recognize how good he is, even if you don’t like Tool. He is THAT good!

[@TheKurgain]

Two suggestions with Tool, Headset and first listen through just audio. Tool is a unique experience. I would not emphasize these suggestions with any other band.

Bro love watching your journey with Tool. Keep going and we’ll keep watching. And yes def take in the live show when they tour there in the not so distant future. But Im gonna be a typical tool fan douche and say you weren’t ready for this. I wasn’t either. I didn’t get the hype at first.. For a long time really. I had to circle back to this one, and Third eye. Then I saw them live for 1st time in 2010. They opened with third eye and it melted my brain. Haven’t recovered. Then they played Lateralus and I caught it. And have never let it go. I’ve seen them 4 times since with most recent being just a few weeks ago. I’ve grown so fond of FI and to see them playing that album brought me to tears, twice. First when they opened with FI, then during Descending. There’s no words. But all I’m saying is they are a band that takes you on a journey. And just because you don’t like it or get a song of theirs now, doesn’t mean you won’t love it later. We’re lucky to see this shit in our lives. Peace from Canada

Read here about the fibbonacci sequence: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence short answer is that it is a sequence in math that forms spirals and appears all over nature (ferns, sea shells, relationships between the sizes of body parts, etc.). It is one of those sequences at the basis of reality.

My guy, LOVE how much you’re enjoying Tool! They’re incredible, plus their catalog is big enough you’ll have tracks to discover for a long while. However, i didn’t look through all your videos but I’ve noticed an absence of a Ren playlist. Your video titles say you’re a rap fan, let’s go mate what ya waiting for!?

One song that I love and I've never seen a reaction to is Swamp Song. It is 1990's TOOL so I don't really understand why nobody has reacted to it. In my opinion it's way better than 46 & 2. Also, if you go to a TOOL concert you will not regret it. In fact it might be something you tell your grandchildren about. It is an immersive experience with phenomenal music.
