FIRST TIME HEARING Tool - The Pot | REACTION

[@danabomb100]

How many Tool fans clicked on this immediately?! Welcome to the rabbit hole - buckle up!! Their uniqueness has progressed over time and continues to gain fans. The earlier stuff (90s) is a bit more ‘rocki-ish’ - but as they have evolved, their music claims it’s own genre. It is very complex and really focuses on each talent in one way or another while bringing a cohesiveness to their art. MJK has said it is a daunting (paraphrasing) task but proves to be quite successful. All 4 of them are masters at their instruments. Maynard is one of the most consistent and talented singers that has blessed us with multiple decades of art. Now, if you go to see them live, MJK stays in the back - that can be disappointing if you are expecting to SEE him perform (as you do in APC or Pucifer). The concerts are much more of an experience and if you are in the right state of mind (um, say consuming something given to us by mother earth in the form of a fungus….) that ride is profound and exceptionally gratifying.

Keep going down the Tool rabbit hole and the Tool Army will follow. We love nothing more than seeing someone react to Tool for the first time. The Pot is Tool's most "radio-friendly" song they have, so it is normally the safest first song to hear by Tool. Spiral out and keep going!

[@DoctorPsilocybin]

If you want to see something that focuses on the drummer look up "Danny Carey- Pneuma drum cam" Mind melting performance. If you want something that shows the lead singer's amazing stage presence look up "Tool-Sober 1993"

[@UnethicalLogic]

Tool is so unique. Each member of the band is a master of their craft. They will spend years, a decade, jam sessioning. And when they get all the kinks worked out, they send the music over to the singer/writer, who creates such deep lyrical masterpieces. Definitely one of the best bands in the world.

If you play it, the Tool Army will come. Welcome in, it's a fun rabbit hole. I would suggest "The Grudge" as your next Tool song.

[@NatReacts_]

Thank you and I’ll definitely check it out!

[@C0CKYp0ps]

If you like drums, you just hit the jackpot😂. Danny is one of the best and possibly best alive currently. Each song is an experience each of its own. Enjoy!

[@NatReacts_]

🔥🔥

[@Loganody]

Tool always feels like im on a dark rollercoaster. Never know where you are going but you love where it goes.

[@anonymishap]

I think Tool's uniqueness is their sound is like nothing else! ❤ They compose their tracks differently to mesh the instruments and vocals, often with a polyrhythmic sound. Some of their tracks are more of a psychedelic experience than "songs" IMO. If you continue down the Tool rabbit hole, you'll understand what I mean 💯

[@StrongStyleFiction]

You're going to love the live drum cam of Tool's drummer performing their song Pnuema. Danny Carey is called the Octopus and is considered by many to be best living drummer. I have never heard a bad Tool song let alone album. My other favorite bands like Pink Floyd and Type O Negative have songs and even ablums I don't like, but Tool is all gold.

[@tiggeratl1]

OMG! I just requested this so I'm super excited for this! And I just finished watching and you didn't disappoint. Maynard has such a distinctive voice and I love that you picked up on that. Add Schism, Lateralus, and Sober to your Tool rabbit hole reactions list.

[@NatReacts_]

Thank you man🤝🏽

[@ellielangford2497]

Sober! Definitely the live version. You will never be the same.

[@DeliverUsSomeEvilPodcast]

Tool is definitely one of the greats and the fact the singer has anxiety problems and sings like this despite hiding behind the drummer and occasionally straddling a rowdy fan is amazing

[@Soljarag5]

He doesn't have anxiety problems... Quit spreading this dumb info... You obviously have never seen puscifer live

[@DeliverUsSomeEvilPodcast]

@Soljarag5 Maynard has dark spots on the stage to help him deal with the glare and alleviate his anxiety in the emotions he conveys while performing. That's a well known fact. You're just a moron

[@erikboris5029]

​@@davidward9737 I've never seen any substantial evidence to back it up other than people in comments sections repeating it as if it's fact

Anxiety problems? Lol. What. He sings at the front often for his other projects, APC and Puscifer.

[@DeliverUsSomeEvilPodcast]

@@Echo__plex you obviously don't know Maynard. Google it.

[@diverdown631]

Welcome to your new favorite Band

[@joehochgreve5710]

Welcome to the Tool Army my man. Tool is arguably the most important rock and roll band still doing it. Danny Carey is arguably the greatest drummer alive, so if that’s your thing you’re in for one hell of a ride. I would strongly recommend watching the Danny Carey drum cam for the song Pneuma. You can rock the studio version, but you MUST do the drum cam. Great reaction man.

[@NatReacts_]

Thank you and I’ll check it out for sure!

[@evanspage5]

Man, tool is just different, they don't settle in any genre completely, but it's all quality. The lead, Maynard, also has another project called A Perfect Circle that is equally talented.

[@michaelgilbert1384]

Cant forget Puscifer, Maynards third project I just saw APC, Puscifer, and Primus for Maynards 60th bday celebration... literally a life changing experience

Welcome to the tool family brah. Vicarious, sober, 4 degrees, pneuma, invincible, descending, 7empest, Jambi, eulogy, stinkfist, 46&2, These songs plus much more will change your music game for the better.

Tool is the best most satisfying rabbit hole to dive into. So much incredible music. You've gotta check out the Pneuma drum cam, and beyond that I would recommend Right in Two, Eulogy, Jambi...well, anything really. Skip their official videos and just pull up lyrics. Have fun!

[@NatReacts_]

Thank you and I will for sure💪🏽

[@TraditionalHippie]

Maynard *is* kinda buttery on this track. Check out “The Grudge” if you want the impressive scream. Plus, Danny said that’s the hardest song to play in his elder years Side note: pay attention to Maynard’s bars. His rhythm on top of the instruments and the cadence he chooses for each syllable/word. He changes his approach EVERY song- along with the rest of the band

Tool is one of those bands you very much need to eat mushies or drop a tab whilst listening to them, that's how they did it. Three bands I would recommend doing this with Tool, The Doors & The Beatles. And all in the one night, best time ever.

[@SparkimusPrime]

I don’t know if anyone has suggested Jinjer yet, but they are a MUST. They’re up there with Tool for me, but I’ve been listening to Tool for like 25 years. Jinjer is incredible though. Definitely check out Pisces live session!

[@EKDupre]

Hey! Tool writes longer songs, usually, and that wards some people off. I think what matters is how long a song feels, rather than the clock duration. Music should never be boring, and if a band can ROCK YOUR FUCKING SOCKS OFF for 6, 7, 8+ minutes straight... It's just as worth any 3 or 4 minute banger. Bangers are bangers, don't discriminate; open the mind and try it out 🎉 But if u don't dig it, u don't dig it. We all have our own tastes. But ya Tool is GOAT.

If you want another excellent rabbit hole to go down, check out the band "Falling in reverse". They are considered metal core, though the lead singer Ronnie Radke is unlike any other singer you've ever heard. Being a fan of rap, you will really love it man. While they have a bunch of amazing songs and incredible theater like videos, start with their song and video "popular monster". They have been around for about 10 years but their releases over.the past couple of years are incredible. Also, Ronnie apprecates many reactors. He will alway remove any blocked videos

[@Teeklin]

You'll get plenty more Tool recommendations and you should check em out, cause the band is awesome. But I noticed you started appreciating the voices of the singers, so I say you gotta check out the rest of the signature voices from that era. Listen to some Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun, Burden In My Hand, Spoonman, Fell on Black Days) to hear Chris Cornell who may have the best voice in the history of rock, then watch the MTV live performance of Black by Pearl Jam with Eddie Vedder to see one of the best, most emotional live performances ever caught on camera. Then check out Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog which is a supergroup with both of them in it. Really amazing voices. Nothing like Tool except that they're filled with passion and have amazing lyrics but they are all talented, incredible singers with totally unique voices.
