FIRST TIME HEARING TOOL - "PARABOL" & "PARABOLA"

[@saracee313]

Lol it was me telling you to listen to the Pot (on a couple of your Rush reactions). I sensed you were a Tool fan just waiting to discover them 😂. You have awesome Tool reactions. For sure you need to watch the Pneuma drum cam. Then personally I would recommend Euology, Right in Two, the Grudge.

[@charliejaworski2562]

I sense that every reaction channel personality is a Tool fan just waiting to discover them. Good on you to pass it along!

[@saracee313]

@@charliejaworski2562 I TOTALLY agree. 😆

[@daemoniks]

Thanks for helping him discover Tool! His soundtrack of life will never be the same. I agree that the Pneuma drum cam is a must-do, and would probably be the best song for you to react to next. For you to HEAR though, I would recommend Aenima, H., Right In Two, The Grudge!

[@JayTDeion]

Went into the reaction thinking, “Why is this being requested so much?” Finished the reaction wanting more! Thank you 💯

[@PongGod]

Pneuma studio version first, then the live drum cam version!

[@akajesusx]

Lateralus, the title track for this album, is regarded as one of the best musical numbers of all time in terms of composition. An absolute must.

[@huebysdoobies9722]

Yes. Boost this

[@Forcejuuso]

As much as I love Tool I think that is just a bit over the top statement

[@zacharyberridge7239]

Yes, considered one of the best musical numbers of all time by Tool fans. Of which, I am a member.

[@nickvlachos575]

It's my favorite Tool song

[@W4Rx1Sx0V3R]

By tool fans, yes, by everyone else, that's a big exaggeration

[@Eraser18574]

Stopping between Parabol/Parabola is considered a crime in some countries.

[@Sintesi.]

it would be punishable by death in my totalitarian dictatorship.

[@increasement]

should have recommended he just watch the Parabola music video.

[@zuzusuperfly8363]

It's a crime in all NATO countries, and some non-NATO countries.

PNEUMA LIVE DRUM CAM!!! Danny Carey 🔥🐙🔥🐙

[@senecalouck2335]

Came here to say this.

[@justjenbo]

Yes!!!

[@PerseusM76]

This.

[@rolanddeshain8983]

I honestly think he'll appreciate it more after stuff like ænima and lateralus but yeah I can't wait. Watching Danny at work is bliss

[@iamrhinoandruin]

This is the way.

[@adriennesegal2632]

The Grudge, bro. The drums alone are worth it

[@ReflectionTool637]

And The Grudge is just so fast and almost chaotic, I think you will like it. Polyrhythms are your friend ... Have a good day man !!

[@rickwarner7729]

Waitin for this one

[@JayTDeion]

IF YOU ENJOY TOOL, LET'S GET THE VIDEO TO 1K LIKES!!!

[@dalste2]

Try the next song by Tool called “Right In Two”

[@codyluna7065]

You really don't get the whole experience listening to Tool 1 song at a time. They don't write tracks like that. They callback to each other and fade from one track to another seamlessly..they just separate the tracks for naming purposes mostly. Like Lost Keys and Rosetta stoned. They are actually the same song split in two tracks basically. Kind of like how a movie has three acts but they all need each other to make sense.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

AEnema with lyrics is a must, my friend.

[@JapesJasper]

"It's already been 6 minutes?" Tool will do that to ya.

[@petercolson2990]

15, 20 years ago where I live there was a radio station that had a weekly half hour dedicated completely to TOOL, and man, I looked forward to those two songs each week... 😅

[@Tbanyas1]

The army will always tell you your favorite tool song is the last one you heard

[@Creative7errain]

TOOL is like riding a rollercoater of musical enlightenment. just sit back and enjoy the ride.

So glad you are doing these tracks back to back. TOOL has a few cases where one track really does need to played after another. You are going to enjoy this ride! Let's do it!

[@GilderonGaming]

You will love Vicarious and Right In Two if you love The Pot. Welcome to the Tool Army, bruh. Also, thank you for the supportive reminder before the reaction. I’m struggling through a temporary valley in life, but you’re right; It’s only temporary. 🙂

[@babbezilla]

Two of my favorites

[@jessickamuro9579]

😅 Right in 2 . is absolutely the hands down number one best song ever

[@sarge7string232]

Tool ..is one of a fucking kind ...

[@sgtstank]

There are a TON of great rock and metal bands, not all of which will be for you. BUT, there's only ONE Tool. When they started dropping albums in the early '90's, I had never heard anything like them and was immediately a fan. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Tool have probably been 3 of the most influential bands during the evolution of metal in my opinion. Keep listening and you'll find that Tool will eventually have you listening to music in general, differently. You'll be more... critical to detail and nuance. You may even find yourself somewhat bored with music you've previously enjoyed. Enjoy and embrace that growth and music will become even more valuable to you. Peace!

[@hanparker8002]

I applaud your comment as a well thought out representation of metal or rock music in general

[@mirvvvv]

appreciate the kind words in the beginning bro🙏 needed to hear that, lost my job and my car and about to lose my apartment, so thank you, also SOBER by TOOL is fire, the live concert video is the best way to watch it

Awesome reaction bro! If you like drums...THE GRUDGE!!

[@BloodMoonDarkSky]

Danny himself has said that The Grudge is the most demanding song he's played.

[@RosettaStoned462]

Masterpiece. Speaking of Zepp, listen to their version of No Quarter and then listen to Tool's cover of it ( from Salival album).

[@hanparker8002]

Greatest cover of all time

[@RosettaStoned462]

@@hanparker8002 I like it better than the original but i have to say Jimi's cover of All along the watchtower is probably the best cover.

[@hanparker8002]

@@RosettaStoned462 very true Jimi made people forget Dylan wrote it to the point where Dylan changed how he performed it, also You Lied of the Salival album people don’t realize it’s a Peach(Justin’s original band) song

[@OlBl00dNGuts]

Howdy once again, sir. I see a lot of Tool fans in here telling you about watching the Tool Danny Carey drum cam, next. I'd like to offer an alternative. My suggestion would actually be to listen to the studio version of Pneuma first. You want to digest the band as a whole, and some of the band is swallowed by Danny Carey's dominant play in the video. So maybe you could do a 2 part reaction to digest Pneuma in its original form first, THEN be able to see the incredible technical proficiency of Danny, in the live video. Obviously, I'm not forcing anything. Just offering up a suggestion, as I feel this would properly introduce the song, in its entirety. I say all this to say that the Pneuma drum cam video is THAT good. By the way: At some point watch the music video for this song. The climax and conclusion of the song is explained vividly. Its pretty incredible. BE WARNED: Tool music videos are...strange.

[@CitizenScorn]

TOOL Army, unite for my dood here. Let's get him going on the right track... The Grudge Patient Jimmy H. Aenima* Cold n Ugly Pneuma Intolerance Prison S*x ...etc...

"Tool love them switches" Well said man, well said

[@lisasechler5714]

P.S. Thank you for the positive bits at the beginning of your reactions ❤

[@brandimariee6]

Vicarious and Right in Two really need to be what you do next! And just something that helped me when I became a fan in 2018; people are recommending them but before you watch any drum cams, make sure you listen to the studio version first

[@BoolFalse]

The Grudge Ticks & Leeches collect some calories to be ready for these :)

[@kbaker412]

lol - I was just saying that Ticks & Leeches is the ONLY Tool song I could do without - BUT, it’s been years since I listened to it so I’ll give it another try…

[@punchingtacos8606]

@@kbaker412 wow I have never seen anyone have this take before. It's perfectly valid, but mannnn Ticks and Leeches is one of my all time favorites. The unfiltered rage and anguish, the texture, the bridge... it's one of the most visceral Tool songs in my opinion.

[@nickvlachos575]

You haven't heard anyone else like them because there is no one else like them. They are one of a kind.

[@bepis1305]

You might like to know Danny Carey, TOOL’s drummer, drummed for Rush a couple years ago. They performed YYZ if you wanna look it up!

[@ALex711a]

It's so wholesome to see someone new to Tool get hype as I did my first time. It really takes the tarnish off of a song that's old to me and reminds me of how fucking kickass it is and was. That being said, I've been in the metal/alt business for a while, and nothing is quite like Tool. I'd love for you to smoke a joint and listen to Rosetta Stoned. That song reminds me of my LSD trip.

[@baki2332]

One day ppl will say there was never and will never be another band as magnificent and beautiful as tool.

[@TommyGetTheBag]

"Eulogy" would intrigue you.. Its off the Ænima album. Danny Carey slaps on that track

[@StarCustom-pk5ff]

The beauty of TOOL is everyone gets a mind blowing solo, the genius of TOOL is they do it at the same time.

[@LudusAurea]

Danny's drum part near the end is probably my favorite Tool drum section and that's saying a lot when Pnuema and Rosetta Stoned exist.

[@RunawayOcelot]

The drumming on Rosetta Stoned is RIDICULOUS!!

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

If you like music with odd time signatures, check out Sound Garden. Not quite as heavy as Tool, but they have some great music.

[@adios1832]

Hah I love your reactions bro. Your energy when listening to songs you like is contagious. Ok, so people are recommending pneuma live or the grudge, I mean, yeah, if you want to see a drummer in action they are very good options, but I think those two are too chaotic, at least they seemed that way to me the first few times . (You will not find the beat in pneuma in your life) I recommend Vicarious (its drums are also pure fire, and is just as powerful as your energy haha so I think you'll like it) or the grudge (as I say, this one is a little more chaotic but it is also fire) but whatever you choose we'll like to see what you think, so it doesn't matter.

[@santigabriel333]

Tool os great, Check out Hiatus Kaiyote "Nakamarra" Its like rnb and jazz Also if you like 90s hip hop, Tribe Called Quest, weve got the jazz

[@kbaker412]

I love watching you get into this band that I’ve loved for so many years. This song duo is my personal favorite - BUT - you missed the BEST part of the experience - you have to listen again on your own with the seamless transition between the two songs - it’s the absolute best from beginning to end.

[@rolanddeshain8983]

Ænima, schism, vicarious or lateralus are all good for where you're at so far. I can't wait for you to see pneuma drum cam but that's like eating dessert before dinner. You'll appreciate it so much more if you save it for later. Either way living the reactions man! I loved how fast it went by for you 😂🤣😂🤘 that's tool for you man

[@jimmymarcinonis5958]

Love the positivity and your genuine love for experiencing new music. Tool is one of those bands that gets better with every listen and they really don’t have a bad track. I’ll give you my recommendation for 2 tracks I think you’ll like the most on each album. ‘Opiate’ -Hush -Opiate ‘Undertow’ -Prison Sex -Bottom ‘AEnima’ -Stinkfist -AEnema (‘Pushit’ and ‘Third Eye’ are so epic you’re not ready for them yet) ‘Lateralus’ -Ticks and Leeches -Lateralus ‘10,000 Days’ -Right In Two -Rosetta Stoned (not quite ready for this one either) ‘Fear Inoculum’ -Descending -7empest This is an incredible journey you’ve started yourself on and I’m excited for you bro! Can’t wait to see the next one!

[@JamesHippe-wy9qh]

You can't go wrong with any Tool song.. every single one is worth hearing over and over

[@abeal5188]

If I may suggest…listen to this band in chronological order. Oldest to newest. The comments will be warring over the best tracks or their fav’s or whatever; but you’ve already tapped in to the fact this group is cumulative in the metaphorical sense. They built upon their sound foundation. I’m 44, I first heard Sober and got Undertow as a cassette. CDs were available at the time I was just a poor kid. Anyway, I did my research found Opiate; and then grew up listening to them grow musically. Again just a suggestion. You’re gonna want to hear all the songs, you might as well start at the beginning.

[@austinalfred4851]

They definitely have an evolution to their music.

[@nando3345]

Your Tool reactions are the best brotha!😂 I recommend Schism, The Grudge, and Sober

[@spoobaman]

If you let them, TOOL will take you on adventures. No joke, kick back and put on the Lateralus album. Burn one and it'll take you somewhere special.

[@manethen1]

Crazy how I love watching people discovering Tool. Feel like I'm rediscovering them myself, chills down to the bones. You seem to love their heavy stuff, so I would recommend The Grudge and Aenema. Right down that spiral my friend !

Parabola at the very end of the song you can actually hear frogs 🐸 making sounds it is so trippy.. Tool songs be masterpieces or as close to perfection as it gets. Other bands would love to have a few songs as great as Tool but Tool does it every song they be already starting at like 90-95% to perfect. So many Tool songs are other bands major hit but Tool consistently puts out🔥FIRE.🔥 The only thing I don't like are the Tool interlude filler tracks of ambient noises I could do with never hearing that pretentious stuff.

[@Anonymous-wd2yg]

There’s another reactor on YT, a gentleman by the name of Polo, who has an entire playlist of Tool reactions. Like 50 videos, essentially every single Tool song. Similar to you, he said he grew up listening exclusively to rap and hip hop so most other genres of music were new to him when he got into reacting. He also started with The Pot and loved jamming it. Then by the 4th or 5th Tool reaction he was like “this band is unlike anything I have ever heard before”. Around reaction 6-7 he dropped a “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this might be my favorite band of all time!” Not long after he openly acknowledges that Tool is indeed his favorite band ever. I’m starting to wonder if you’re about to embark on a similar journey 🙌🏼
