Skullz reacts to Useful Idiot & 46 and 2 by Tool
Lyrical dissection.
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990... due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy....Tool has won four Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

I was 25 when I first heard 46 & 2, and it blew me away. But listening to it again at 48 it has so much more meaning. Those years of being the person that I felt like everyone's else wanted me to be are falling away. I'm embracing this person who has been in there all along, but suppressed. It's terrifying and liberating! This is the affect Tool's music and Maynard's lyrics have on those that truly listen. Love your analysis, as always!

The songs don’t even need to be sad but their musical expression along with Maynard’s writing is EXTREMELY powerful! You’re actually feeling the music and it moves you to be emotional which is a beautiful thing. Keep doing your thing man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Appreciate it my friend. Yeah this song hits me hard because there's something scary about integrating the dark parts of yourself. "HOPING I can clear the way." It's a leap of faith and change is scary and uncomfortable. Not many songs have me ready to fight and tear up at the same time but this song manages to do it for me lol.

@Skullz You are by far the best reactor on KZbin. I've watched hundreds of different channels and I'd always find myself eventually disappointed, even if I was initially impressed. You really care about your audience. I appreciate your intellectual lyrical analysis, your obvious passion for music, and your authenticity. I also appreciate your honesty in every reaction. I'll be honest with you - I only watched the tool reactions and haven't checked out your personal songs. With the amount of time, effort, care, and editing that you put into your reactions, I seriously feel guilty about not listening to your music yet lol. I am actually looking forward to it though. I will listen within the next few days and leave you my honest review. I cant thank you enough for your reactions/analysis on the tool songs. You've changed my perspective on the meaning behind certain songs and now my experience when I listen to tool is even better. All the best to you brother.

Again, Justin Chancellor's bassline just drives the instrumental part. That guy is off the chain. But this is one hella complex one to analyze the lyrics of. It constantly refers to Jungian psychological concepts (the shadow) and the theories of Drunvalo Melchizedek regarding spiritual evolution and genetics. So much to chew on. This album is just chock full of psycho-spiritual concepts. Nice one, man. This was also the first song that ever made a single chord struck over and over again sound like the coolest ending of all time to me. Peace! Oh, wait! I'ma remind you about "Blood Into Wine". MJK is such an overachiever. since making that documentary, he's released about six albums, maybe more, he still practices martial arts all the time, and he's written and released an autobiography. The guy's a machine. If following his career doesn't inspire you, (or his career-s rather,) it might just make you feel like a worm. The guy doesn't seem to stop, at all, ever. The rest of them are pretty amazing too. Danny Cary is a drummer who's studied at the feet of masters in percussion from, like, everywhere, as well as a committed magician (like Merlin-style, not David Blaine). Adam Jones designed some of the dinosaurs in the first "Jurassic Park" as well as several props for "Terminator 2" and a bunch of other movies. That was his full-time gig before Tool took off. Justin Chancellor... Well, to be honest, I don't know if he does anything other than write killer basslines all day. And if that's all he does, then nearly every song on every Tool album from this one on and whatever put him in this band makes that more than okay in my view. Right, that's enough of me. Funny you mentioned "Forest Gump". I reckon I'd seen it about fifty times before I was eighteen. Now I really mean it. Over and out.

@@Skullzrapper Just to help you maybe understand a bit more about Maynard. The song H. isn't about heroin. He's never had a drug problem, nor was he ever abused physically as a child (there's some rumors out there about that as well, mostly due to lyrics on Stinkfist and Sober). You should also check out A Perfect Circle. The songs Judith and Passive are well known to be about his mother, who ended up in a coma before she passed (and who may have been the cause of some emotional abuse/issues). But it's just more really good stuff from Maynard really. Like your reactions though! Earned a sub for sure Oh and another quick explanation of the 46&2 meaning. If you go into the theories of Carl Jung, you'll find that with the possible 46&2 chromosome pairing would supposedly come a sort of hive mind mentality (similar to bees). Where literally every human would be focused on doing what is best for every other human, and the survival and furthering of the human race as a whole (It's a pretty crazy idea to think of really. Like communism at a genetic level). This could easily tie into the thoughts of raising a child to be better than we are that you were mentioning both on H. and here. And could be thought of as a parent now basically living their life only to better their childs. Sorry, your reaction thoughts just seemed so spot on with this, that I had to throw you some info to push it further 😂 Great job man!

Shadow work, the act of radically accepting and loving those pieces about ourselves we were taught to reject, bringing those pieces back to find wholeness. Who knew psychology and spiritual work could drop a beat as good as 46 + 2? My absolute favorite Tool song. Shadow work is the hardest thing we can do but the most rewarding. Nothing is faster or more thorough when shadow work is implemented into a spiritual discipline. The reason why people think Tool’s songs are about having a kid is because having a kid forces us to look at our own lives. And it’s just the best music to clean the house to.

Been waiting all week for this reaction!! And as always spot on bro! The opening riff was a riff that Justin played during his audition for Tool. And as you re-listen to this masterpiece, notice how that riff changes slightly over and over until it’s an entire new riff. Very similar to human evolution and change. It’s always small and minute but in the end it’s a huge difference. This in my opinion is there best song so far in your Tool journey. Can’t wait for next weeks, bro!

I'm an old school Tool fan and love seeing peoples first experience with Tool as mine was insane and I still remember it like it was yesterday.. It was not! Way back in 1992 I lived in Seattle growing up fully engulfed in the grunge scene, I saw it all! One day a friend got tickets to see Henry Rollins at an all ages show at a place called the OZ. I was not a henry fan but why not. The opening act came out and it was Tool! They blew the fucking house down with around maybe 40 people. It was insane! I bought the EP from Adam when we left and to this day am still blown away from that show and the dozens of shows since. I still have the ticket stub from the 92 show..

Note: from this point forward, Maynard separates himself from the audience. He will allude to work happening behind the veil (sometimes more direct than others), but he is also going to have fun at the audience's expense. Many will smoke up, take the rides he provides, and fail to realize they never left the loop of useful idiots. He gives guruspeak for consumers and shamanic work for creators.

Your analysis of Tool songs are facinating to me! I’ve seen so many of them, and there are many variations of what different songs could mean. But in doing them all in sequence, like you do, brings forth a hypothesis that to me seems to hit closer to home than any other I’ve seen! You have really inspired me to go the same route, and listen critically to the whole discography in chronological sequence! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this facinating masterpiece of a band! ❤️

A big part of my everyday job (I'm a forklift trainer) is trying to get the best out of people. Inspiring them to want to do something good for themselves. I come across a lot of people that don't think very highly of themselves, that say they are dumb or can't do anything right. It is always worth the time and effort to tell people they are good enough and deserve better for themselves. I appreciate the honesty, bro. Absolutely loving your journey, my favourite thing on KZbin at the moment. Cheers bloke 🙂🍻

Skullz, since I may still have your attention, just be careful latching on to initial interpretations of the lyrics. I realize the nature of your channel. But the ambiguous lyrics reach people differently than possibly the intent of Maynard, so having a personal interpretation is safer than assuming the artist intent. I don’t mean any of that negatively at all. I love that you spend the time to see the lyrics as opposed to others that just bob their head because they see it’s popular on KZbin and they can grow their channel. First reactions are pure, and fantastic, but a majority of Tool’s song need repetition and study to really understand the depth. Spiral out! Enjoy the journey. I hope this music helps you and your listeners as much as it’s helped me over the last 20 years.

"The Shadow"as referred to in this song (another brilliant track from they, the four that dare), contrary to being a reference to Maynard's son is often understood to be "The Shadow" or "Shadow Self ", coined by the seminal, renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung 1875-1961. "Shadow - (archetype) the repressed, therefore unknown, aspects of the personality including those often considered to be negative." 46&2 like you said, seems to be a song of acceptance, investigation, exploration, integration, empowerment and transformation. Cheers to a great take on this track. Enjoy seeing you experience the music and offer a considered reaction and interpretation. Keep the good fight brother 🤙✊

Just subscribed to your channel. Really insightful. What I love about Tool’s music, is how a song can continue to add or change meaning the more you listen to it. It requires the audience to be engaged, curious, and dig into research on what it means not only to the band, but ourselves. They also have a playful way of giving a title to the songs. Instead of Evolving, how about 46/2. Instead of The Bridge, how about H. Of course Hooker with a Penis has everyone anticipating….well you get it. Not sure if anyone has shared with you that Adam and Tom Morello from Rage were high school buddies in Illinois and played in a band together. One goes into special effects for movies, and the other political science at Harvard I believe. Oddly enough they both end up at Lollapoluza 93 in different bands. Maynard actually tried out for Rage. Since he wasn’t the vibe they were looking for, Tom introduced Maynard to Adam. Lol. Can’t make this shit up.

9:30 - Holy shit. Well said. 10:19 - As no doubt others have said, one interpretation of "shadow" is in the Jungian sense, that is all that is currently unacceptable to the persona. “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” - Joseph Campbell 11:55 - "I choose to live and to grow Take and give and to move Learn and love and to cry Kill and die and to be Paranoid and to lie Hate and fear and to do What it takes to move through I choose to live and to lie Kill and give and to die Learn and love and to do What it takes to step through" Full acceptance and integration. The Shadow is the unaccepted self, just like the Anima/Animus is the othered opposite (the Anima is for a male the female side of self and matures through phases, the Animus the same but for females with the masculine). One of the core goals is integration. Check out Ken Wilber - No Boundary 14:27 - Check out Drunvalo Melchizedek 17:39 - Spot fucking on.

I've been watching Tool reaction videos on and off now to get another perspective after listening to the band for years. Many people so far have looked at H in the way of addiction, taking H as literal street name for heroin and the song being overcoming that addiction. Which in a way it could be. When you're picking up on Maynard's use of child may not be a literal child, but the child that's in us that drives our impulses, desires and indulgence to make it feel ok. I've recently read up on transactional analysis where our personality is made up of Parent, Adult and Child, so I can understand myself while recieving therapy. Listening to these reactions is making more sense to what I've learnt and understanding Maynard some more. The judgemental fearsome snake is more the parent in us and it's through our free adult to reason and learn why our child is so frightened and assure it that it's ok. To do so is to step through the shadows inside us so we can understand why we're so scared of them. This is probably why Tool are so meticulous when it comes to the production of their albums and why each album is a journey by how they're structured.
