Apologies about the audio people, genuinely devastated it was lost - hope the visual reaction will suffice though🙏🏻 400 Likes and I drop ‘DISPOSITION, REFLECTION, TRIAD’ tomorrow🔥🔥 Also, here’s a playlist with all of my TOOL Reactions thus far!💡 kzbin.info/aero/PLHypkTSfe762J9CRHHB0wdOZ0v-SZsmZy

[@Defensive_Wounds]

Word of advice, get yourself a backup stand alone recording mic such as the *ZOOM h2N*, then use it as a room mic so that in case your main gear plays up, you have the backup! that has saved me and my band from losing quite a few songs and riffs that would have been lost forever due to the other thing playing up or losing power or whatever the case may be...This audio loss does happen man, I have had it with recording my band's songs or solo ideas then I realise it did not record and try to recreate it only to be too tired or forgot what the random spontaneous thing was that I/we did! Luckily you still have the video, my band is just audio, it is all we have...lol

[@musicfeedsthesoultg5318]

Oh fuck! Reflection....and away we go! Fuel up the rocket ship homie!

[@justjaredreacts]

I know you loved this song as much as I did 1st listen. I can see it in ur facial expressions 🤘🤘

[@adamcharles478]

Adam Jones' guitar riffs give me chills in this song. When Maynard breaks into the "I must keep reminding myself of this" until the end...damn near brings me to tears.

[@SinuheSinny]

Yes, man, everytime.

[@dryferr5557]

I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this Every single time hear that part it's hard to keep my emotions in check

[@claytonthegnome]

Third

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

... Eye

[@marcusberns3746]

Its a total reset

[@BricktowneMedia]

One of my all time favorites from Tool...And im really looking forward to hearing your reaction to Disposition/Reflection/Triad....its some of the best Tool out there!

[@dirkdiggler6316]

Bricktowne Media get back to Vin and sori you bum

[@BricktowneMedia]

@@dirkdiggler6316 If it had been up to me...I still would be man.

[@dirkdiggler6316]

Bricktowne Media woah what do you mean? Did something happen?

[@BricktowneMedia]

@@dirkdiggler6316 Well look man, I'm not about to get into it here, but I haven't worked for them since the NAMM show...and it wasn't my choice to stop our working relationship. From what I can gather it was a misunderstanding, and while I was hit pretty hard by it at the time....I harbor no ill will toward them and still respect them both very much. I was incredibly lucky to ever have worked for them at all. I learned a lot, got in some great and unexpected experiences, and hopefully helped to represent them and their channel through the work I did. I still support them and the village from afar, and have later gone on to do work for other village members (made a lyric video for a Cradle of Filth song for Ian, as an example). I wish things could have gone differently, but it is what it is...if you wanna get a little info from Vin and Sori, i suggest watching the Knotfest concert review...right around the hour mark if I remember correctly.

[@dirkdiggler6316]

Bricktowne Media alright man. You did good work

[@dryferr5557]

Easily the least appreciated song on the greatest album ever recorded.

[@josephelezovic6642]

Agree. Heard it live in Memphis

[@andrewarmenta2700]

Why im amazed at how people havent heard of tool baffles me. But there is renewed joy for people discovering it Great piece of music history. And Im alive in a time where i got to see em live a few times. Collio signing out

[@isopropyltoxicity]

It's my favorite tool song

[@felixhenrique763]

disposition?

[@kimtrevino8691]

This song has a special place in my heart along with Sober they both have helped me get through alot of rough patches in my life and I am so thankful for music like this.🤘👌👍🤘

[@MrsRMoore78]

Kim Trevino same.

[@Unlikely_Hero]

One of their most underrated

[@Ryan18181]

Lateralus is full of these outstanding transitions from one song to the next. The transition from disposition to reflection is simple, yet mind blowing. I'm really looking forward to seeing your reaction to that absolute masterpiece.

[@barkingmadman1169]

DISPOSITION/REFLECTION/TRIAD. It is such a symphony, in three movements! Surely these three songs were an early precursor, a blueprint, for all of Fear Inoculum. These songs were all growers. I confess I skipped them many times, being at the end of the album and not living up to my expectations of hard rock. But as time went by, Lateralus and these three songs are the ones I keep coming back to.

[@alexanderwernette9998]

Lateralus is their peak imo, not they're not good anymore, but to me that's when they shined the brightest

[@ToddFraud]

@@alexanderwernette9998 Lateralus really is something special

[@lemonlateralus]

Love the dual vocals at the ending 🤘🎶

[@sggjose]

The bass groove in this song is insane. Plays off amazingly with the guitar.

[@KilyanAustin]

This song has taken me out of some very very deep dark places.

[@MrsRMoore78]

I’ve listened to Tool for years but this song is never given much attention to until recently. When I finally stopped and listened to the lyrics it floored me. I shed tears. I’m glad you’ve discovered it. Spiral Out ❤️

[@TheMilton1215]

2 years later I add my opinion. This is my favorite song ever for about a decade. Thank you. Peace!

[@le_bourgeoisee]

It's really nice seeing you growing into tool. Especially in this video one can clearly see that you enjoy all those subtle changes that always change the whole feeling of the music. I had the pleasure to discover tool while I was still at school. And like you said: It changed my way of listening to music. Tool made me enjoy extraordinary music. The downside is that nearly every popular song or music my friends listen to just seems to be simple and boring while they don't get into the music I like ;)

[@RFJR2709]

Their best Album IMO, great song, it reminds us that in life we all must show patience. Love that you are loving TOOL so much. Love your reaction vids.

[@fuel20]

I'm always astounded how Maynard chose to sing this song. It's so different like how does anyone think to sing like this. This song has stuck with me for a long time. btw I'm the 390th like.

[@juanemaldonadodr]

That song is one of My favorites singles of Lateralus 🔝

[@suddenlysarablog]

Easily my favorite song on the album! I'm really glad you got to experience it, and you looked like you were nearly in tears towards the end... I can honestly say the song gives me the same reaction.

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

My favorite Tool song

[@xtop23]

great track. one of my faves

[@alittel07]

@8:33 - flash the guns. Big fan - that moment came for me at roughly @7:00. Gun flashing feeling man, that double bass and the riff with Maynard's vocals on repeat in crescendo. Sick. Cheers bud.

[@davidcristopher5705]

Great Review and very unique because of the audio issue... As you continue on the TOOL journey of self discovery, please don't forget MJK's side projects: A Perfect Circle and Pucifer!

[@chrispehora7987]

Underated song! When i listen to Lateralus this is the first song i listen to

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

Other than Fear Inoculum, this song has been on repeat. Tool should have tweeted this while we were waiting for the new one! Gotta wait it outttttt...

[@MateuszStrybel]

If you really listen to Tool for the first time I envy you. I wish I could.

[@TakeAHikeMike]

Reflections is musically and lyrically my favroite Tool song ever.

[@kimmernew19]

I can’t remember if you’ve reacted to Wings for Marie 1 & 2. If not, that’s a beautiful tribute to his mother. Another song related to the story is Jimmy. Then there is Judith from A Perfect Circle too!

[@synystera]

and if you choose to do it please please please react to a simple audio of the song and not one of the many fan made lyrics videos.

[@stevenshaw5541]

The lyrics to these songs are a must have

[@clairash2004]

This album is good. I love that you've loved it. I'm very much looking forward to you listening to their earlier albums.

[@FallMatic]

Awesome vid man the ending to this song always gives me goosebumps god bless tool ❤️

[@DrewFortune97]

Fall Matic ❤️

[@ianscottt3642]

I must keep reminding myself of this!

[@hift]

Unlucky about the audio mate. Still enjoyed watching your reaction though. Can't wait for more off Lateralus. Keep it up♥️

[@DrewFortune97]

Scott Mackie ❤️

[@claytonthegnome]

I look forward to witnessing your enjoyment of Disposition/Reflection/Triad...

[@cranboogie]

You have to admit, Drew, anything else besides Tool is not as good once you’re into Tool.

[@Trepanation21]

Except Gojira*

[@kylemotty5951]

Sorry but Coheed and Cambria will forever be just as good as the first time I pressed play on IKSSE3. Not taking anything from tool though.

[@fuggledugglegaming]

Only band that’s managed to beat Tool in that regard is the Mighty Zeppelin.

[@Imiss80sn90s]

Jinjer is pretty badass and all band members are talented.. I rate them as high as Tool

[@abraxasmundi]

Unfortunately

[@joshmoore9561]

God I fucking love that song......goosebumps every time.

[@jayhern-w5z]

Please react to TOOL's Pushit (salival) version ...Beautiful live experience

[@Ryan18181]

Yeah I second this, incredible piece song writing rrimagined a new light.

[@mrmeowchow85]

Amazing song. Easily my favourite tool song.

[@shereeblalock4219]

Can't wait..

[@WitzyZed]

One of the reasons why Lateralus sound so good... Look into the HDCD format. This company Pacific Microsonics makes this really good Analog to Digital Converter, and that’s what was used in production of this album. It has such a great sound.

[@WitzyZed]

Once that 07:28 ride kicks in I just lose myself

[@robriginio530]

When the drums kick in at the end & he starts singing “by nowwwww and I, still maaaayy and I” is some of the most beautiful shit I’ve ever heard.

[@couyonuniversity96]

Disposition, reflection, triad. Please make it the next tool reaction

[@DrewFortune97]

You have my word!

[@maxgrass8134]

My favorite song on this album. Maybe together with parabol/parabola and maybe with the grudge

[@josueblackmetal1202]

TOOL- VICARIOUS PLEASE! !!!!

[@shortbus6560]

good toolgasam face around the 7 min mark

[@MostlyCloudy]

My secret favorite song!!

[@dylanunderwood6594]

Wings for Marie pt 1&2

[@jonathancapps1103]

Working my way through yr Tool playlist. Obviously you've reacted to Jimmy and 10K Days/Wings for Marie, but if you haven't listened to anything by A Perfect Circle yet, Judith is a great place to start. It's another song inspired by MJK's mother. And APC is well worth diving into.

[@pedrojesus2432]

Ye you should react to Mr Bungle

[@TheStonedCruiser]

opiate album pls

[@oneoverprime1608]

There are several songs that deal with Maynard and his mother. Jimmy, Wings part 1 and 2(Tool), Judith and Orestes(Perfect Circle) I think there is another one but I can't remember it right now. Maybe someone else can help me out

[@engameneer6040]

sober?

[@davidbailey6397]

No audio really needed. Your emotion while listening to this spoke volumes. Tool represents high level musicology the likes that haven’t been since since the days of the great classic rock bands.

[@texvictor]

This is one of the best if not best reaction video's you have done to Tool, by not talking through the sond. Tool is to be experienced and not talked through. Do your talking before or after, preferably after the music so we can enjoy the music at the same time as you are.

[@psycho416s]

Not about his mother. Its about his tedious Path. (Music) He keeps reminding himself of this. The rewards and the Loving embrace that see him through. He would have walked away by now. He still may!

[@MostlyCloudy]

disposition/reflection/triad amirite?

[@cifxr]

You gotta review The Grudge! Haha

[@MateuszStrybel]

SOBER!

[@jimwilliams8663]

Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III “ Allegaeon “Gray Matter Mechanics “ Pantera “Slaughtered “

[@spencermcCH]

😜🎧

[@leafsfan1728]

Really wish someone would've given you the heads up about listening to Eon Blue Apocalypse transitioning into The Patient.(Like Parabol/Parabola) It's personally my favourite segue track of theirs...it really adds a lot to this song. Hopefully...you'll check out the full Lateralus album(at your leisure) and see what I mean! Great reaction as always!!

[@mjusaviteot]

Still waiting some Shadow of Intent 👌🤘

[@HeavyStein117]

Listen the patient without eon blue apocalypse is just wrong

[@norseca542]

i'm not going to urge you into listening but given that you didn't listen to Eon Blue Apocalypse directly before The Patient i'll tell you which songs to listen to in complete package lost keys/rosetta stoned, parabol/parabola, D/R/T, Intension/Right In Two, Mantra/Schism

[@nznegativeions]

Mate dont get too caught up in what is said about the meaning of the song or others interpretations of it. Listen to the song, preferably on a version with no lyrics the first time . Feel and live it like you are starting to do. Worry about overthinking it on a later video. First and foremost its what the music and what you understand of it means to you, and how it makes you feel. I have always felt that by spending too much time on lyrical analysis, much of what Tool offer is overlooked. No other band Ive encountered can take you on such an angry, hopeful, pessimistic, positive or euphoric journey like these 4 individuals can. (Dont get me wrong I overanylise the crap out of it sooner or later, but not the first few listens.)

[@cyberdemon1702]

Suck arm cannon Jebus!! Pew pew. Actually I agree 100% 👍

[@rfp157]

This is not about Judith's perspective, this is not even about his mother.

[@tylahfam527]

PLEASE DO PUSHIT. PLEASEEE

[@davedonohue9747]

This song is about Maynard getting out of the music biz-anti record company!

[@Orangelemonblue]

420 ‘likes', congrats

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

Be patient..

[@moatfloater]

Please react to Periphery - Reptile. Sooooo epic.

[@theundertaker7441]

I only watch these types of videos just to see you Shake your head😂

[@dowogenesthedog7186]

MJK/TOOL, pretty much the new Beethoven & Mozart

[@luiss.7068]

You forgot Eon Blue Apocalypse.

[@RockDoctor]

500 likes and zero dislikes!

[@mattmuirhead6435]

You should honestly just react to one Tool track a week until you get through the entire discography, it's literally impossible to recommend any one song over another.

[@jmarra07]

Anybody ever told you you look like Nieky Holzken?

[@shushyomouse]

I want to be on you

[@planet9938]

I don't agree with you explaining the song at the beginning. Its Just someone's interpretation that you found online so maybe introduce as such and not fact Idk.

[@davedonohue9747]

FYI.....This song is about Maynard getting out of the record biz

[@luiscypher1307]

Who from TOOL ever said The Patient was about MJKs mother? Never heard that before? I dont think that is correct just someones lame interpretation mate.

[@luiscypher1307]

You've heard that The Patient is about MJKs mother from TOOL themselves or just from others personal interpretations? There have been occasional solid explanations for songs like 46&two Jambi Stinkfist Ænima & many others but your right Scowl face for the most part they are few & far between,personally i find most of TOOL's songs fairly self explanatory with pretty straight forward non-ambiguous lyrics & themes.but of course as MJK said & you so eloquently quoted they are completely open to the personal interpretation of the listener so even the meaning of those straight forward songs i think I've figured out are just my own personal interpretations theorys & projections,if the meaning behind them is not actually confirmed by the band themselves then everything is just 'whatever' we want to get out of them. Still its probably not wise to perpetuate false or unconfirmed meanings just based on our own personal interpretations or the personal interpretations & projected perceptions of others. I got some damn good theorys though,lol.

[@luiscypher1307]

Not being facetious mate its just the way i write,i cant stand passive aggressive facetious types actually,its a rudeness borne of ego the world can do without. Ænima is my favorite album incidentally i intend to be buried with it.I was introduced to Opiate/Undertow by a friend but admittedly i only liked a handful of songs then Ænima came out & it pried my third eye open forever,lol. TOOLs been my nemero uno ever since. As for lyrical meaning i agree most songs required maturity to fully fathom some like i mentioned were seemingly straight forward while others required research & Internet sluthing. As for the meaning behind The Patient well my 'personal interpretation' i don't think it has anything to do with MJKs mother Judith i actually think people read the title & naturally assume its about her when in fact hes actually referring to himself as the patient both in an exaggerated medical sense but more as in waiting patiently,a patient with no patience so to speak,what i believe MJKs referring to in the lyrics is the very tedious frustrating process of creating music with his fellow bandmates exactly as he described it to Joe Rogan on the JRE podcast. Thats why he completely opts out of the song development stage nowadays & just lets the boys do their thing then once their finally done he takes the music away to add his lyrics. In the song he talks of walking away if there was no reward at the end not typically something someone would say about their infirm mother imo anyway thats part of what i think its about just MJK reflecting on his career & internalizing his distain for the whole broken collaboration process at the time,there may well be dual meaning or lines that allude to some strained inter-personal relationship issues which could literally be about anyone in his life if not multiple people? But thats all purely speculative as is my interpretation or anyone elses unless otherwise confirmed.

[@luiscypher1307]

Yeah man im a deftones fan i only own two of their albums tho so i wouldn't say im full on into them but i'lld kill to see them live one day,I've done the same with SOAD & RATM lyrics in the past,lol. Sometimes the obvious can be a deceitfully duplicitous mirage,only the creator knows the true meaning behind their own creations & sometimes even they forget.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

neat like-dislike ratio (currently 354-0). I am the 354th.

I might have missed it, but how come the lips are so out of sync in this one?

Did you really just........not finish the song? >.>

[@chefgeopec6255]

Love the Rock reactions Both you & sis are a good combo. Waiting patiently for you to get to Pearl Jam (one of the biggest/best grunge rock bands of 90s & more specifically "Black" the MTV live unplugged/acoustic version kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4urY5yqbpeNo6M

[@hermanblume2527]

2 years on and I still can’t believe you did all this research on the song but couldn’t understand to listen to Eon Blue Apocalypse first. Blasphemous

[@stinkfist6422]

This is definitely not about her mother come on guys....

[@rogerbernard187]

Millennials are f*cking funny! "Look @ me I'm doing something cool!"... Maynard w approve...smh

A little late there

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

I like the instrumentation in that intro track, but not a fan of the vocals.

[@norseca542]

also stick to lyrics videos and avoid music videos at all costs

[@alexjany1969]

So sad you fucked up. But it’s ok :)

[@Varek.50]

Thats all false. But, this song is amazing. Lol
