Rappers React To TOOL "7empest"!!!

[@crawfordmerk]

Adam Jones (the guitarist) said this was the best accomplishment of his career

[@johnwilson1794]

It was interesting that Maynard said Adam had written some of these riffs before he was even in the band. He knew he'd use them some day and here they are on 7empest. “There are riffs on the new album that Adam had before I was even in the band,” he offers. “The last track, ‘7empest’ [pronounced Tempest], the main body of the first chunk of the song is a verse and then a really heavy recurring riff, something I came up with in [the time signature of] 21. We’d been trying to find [another riff that goes with it], and it ended up being something we’d tried on several albums, with different ideas, and it just never clicked. And then all of a sudden there it is and it works, and it totally is the complete thing that the other riff needed. I think Adam had that riff when we were trying to write for [1996’s] Aenima album. It just kept getting brought up and put on the side. Adam’s really cool like that. He’s very precious about the ideas we have and he’s always like, ‘Don’t forget about that, we’ll use it one day. You can’t be frivolous about them. You’ve got to respect the fact that they’re really worth something when you first come up with them and you think they’re good, so don’t throw them away.’ So we have this huge catalogue of stuff that we keep on the backburner.” metalheadzone.com/tools-maynard-james-keenan-reveals-the-thing-theyve-waited-for-21-years/

Most of the song is in 21/8 haha, broken into different sets of subdivisions. Intro: 5 5 5 6 Riff you were talking about: 8 13 Riff right after: 6 5 6 4 Bridge: 7 7 7

Record of the year

[@dboko]

The first time I listened to Fear Inoculum on the surface I felt a bit let down, like somehow it didn't meet my expectations after 13 years. It took multiple listens to truly recognize and appreciate how they burned the roof down with this album. So I don't think the average listener does really understand how epic this music is at first glance. Usually songs get old the more you listen to them but this record just keeps getting better. It almost makes me a bit depressed to think we may not see more music from this band or that there will ever be another band like them. Love the reactions, keep em comin!

[@tinybeermonster4915]

For sure. Some of their best stuff on this album. Like to decision to omit any vocals from the 2nd half of 'Descending' because, you know, there''s no-one left to sing.

[@questionme2]

I know what you mean dude. I feel like a dumbass now cuz I should've known better. I've been a Tool fan since 1995 and I KNOW the alien geniuses that these four guys are (and Paul). But I think because I went into it from the early raw, in your face, days that are very nostalgic for me and I've been waiting for so long for the new album that it caught me off guard and I did not fully appreciate it at first. But for me it's been the reaction videos (like this awesome one) that forced me to really sit down and listen to the new songs at another level. And fuckin shit amazeballs!! The more I listen to them the harder it is to come back to this mediocre reality. Thank you Tool for teaching this old fart to never stop Spiraling Out!!!

[@ryanagee5540]

You know I am die hard tool fan and I always felt that way after each album.... Multiple listens and I am hooked on it. I remember thinking 10,000 days wasn't a sequel to Lateralus but now 10,000 days is my favorite album by them. Maybe... I really, really like this one a lot. Lateralus is in another Galaxy haha. AEnima is what started it all for me Undertow/Opiate is just great 90s rock but I think when Justin joined the band they changed.

[@questionme2]

When Ænima was released (on my birthday!) I was already a Huge Tool fan trying to get all my friends in to it. But when they heard Ænima it was way easier for me to say “See Mfkers, I told you this band is at another level”. Oh my smug youthful days. Well justified.

I'm a 59-year-old dude. When I first sat down and listened to this in early Sept 2019 I knew about 4 minutes in that this would be special. At about 7 minutes in a strange thing happened: A tear came to my eye and I started blubbering like an eight-year-old, no screaming or anything... At 10 minutes it finally dawned on me what was happening! I thought of a Beatles fan carefully placing the brand new White Album on the turntable in the late 60's, or when I heard the first minute of Zepp's "Achilles Last Stand" in 1976. Whatever reason we are drawn to Metal or any type of music, my emotions were asking me "Is this it?", "Will this be the highest moment of my music listening life?", "Will there be ever be better than this?" "Is it impossible to get better than this?". I don't believe as humans we are ever prepared to not wish for more. 7

Does the average person listen to TOOL and recognize they’re listening to the forbidden fruit of music? From my experience, no, not really. You have to sit them down and force them to only concentrate on the song, but if it’s just casually playing in the background, they might even ask to turn it off. I think the polyrhythms throw off the mind when it’s not ready for it.

[@gmpsandw]

It's making me emotional... That is tool in a word. Their music reaches that lizard part of your brain where you stop just listening and actually feel the music. Their haunting melodies, dissonant chords and chord progressions, the way Adam Jones continues a theme through a song with minor variations similar to Mozart and other great classical composers. The way Manards voice is not just singing lyrics but is one of the instruments, the time signature changes that cause that off balance feeling riding the wave from quiet and beautiful to loud and sometimes violent crescendo. It's just perfect.

Thanks for the reaction! This song was written by the bassist, Justin Chancellor. I think it's in 21 time or something.

I had a dream. Long story short, I met Tool in the back of a semi truck I hitched a ride from. They were playing Sobor. I rolled doobies. Song over, we all puffed. Then Maynard said, Let's play that new one again, guys. The guitar started in, sounded like a choir of angels. The next guitar and drums came in sounding otherworldly. When Maynard started, he sounded like the lead angel of that choir as he maneuvered thru the song so expertly, as he does. I've tried a million times, but I cannot reproduce it in any way. I can't quite remember exactly how it went, as it was in a dream. But, I've never, ever heard a more beautiful song in all my 49 years. If it winds up being on their next album, I will totally freak out so hardcore. It probably won't happen but, if I ever hear that dream-Tool song again, that's just insanity exponentialized

"7empest" is the penultimate song on Fear Inoculum. With a 15:45 run time, it's the longest track on the album. Why the 7 in the song title? That number is a theme on the album; many of the songs are in polyrhythms. A tempest is a violent, windy storm. The term also calls to mind Shakespeare's play The Tempest, thought to have been written around 1610. It's about a sorcerer named Prospero who was shipwrecked with his daughter on a deserted island. Twelve years later, he uses his magic to ground another ship and hatch a plot to get his daughter married and himself back into a position of status. The play is never referenced specifically in "7empest," but Prospero uses dark magic and deception throughout the play, and deception appears to be part of the song's theme. The song features a chorus riff that Adam Jones had carried around for over two decades. Justin Chancellor told Visions magazine he thinks the Tool guitarist had it filed away since before 1995 when the bassist joined the band. Chancellor added that the riff almost worked on their previous album. "We tried to use that riff on 10,000 Days but it was only good, not great, so we didn't use it," he said. "In the end, our way of writing music is a long process of experimentation. We enjoy the luxury of taking this very seriously and giving it the time that it needs." Jones wrote part of the song in a super-complex 21/16 time. Tool won the Best Metal Performance Grammy for the third time when "7empest" took the award in 2020. Lyrics below: (Keep calm, keeping it calm, keep calm. Fuck, here we go again) Heat lighting flash, but don't blink Misleading Tranquility ruse You're gonna happen again That's what I think Follow the evidence Look it dead in the eye You are darkness Trying to lull us in, before the havoc begins Into a dubious state of serenity Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie We know better It's not unlike you It's not unlike you We know your nature Blame it all on the bastards when you're blowing out Shame on you Shame on you, now No amount of wind could to begin to cover up your petulant stench and demeanor Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems We're not buying your dubious state of serenity Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie We know better It's not unlike you It's not unlike you We know your nature Calm before the torrent comes Calm before the torrent comes Calm before the torrent comes Calm before the tempest comes to reign all over Disputing intentions invites devastation A tempest must be true to its nature A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that Control, your delusion Insane and striking at random Victim of your certainty And therefore your doubt's not an option Blameless, the tempest will be just that So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone Your words to erase all the damage cannot A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that A tempest must be just that

What struck me at first about this song is that it reminded me of old school Tool from the Undertow album. At least Maynards voice anyways. I think they tried to incorporate some different sounds from all the albums into this one in order to bring back some of that nostalgia. I like how you used the word "enchanting" when describing the music. I've always felt they had a tribal sound to them. It's like being a part of a Native American tribal dance. I have been a fan of Tool for 24 years now but I have only been to 1 Tool concert. It's the only time I went to a concert by myself and I was completely sober. Their light show and sound was so incredible that I literally felt like I was high. I have never had an experience like that occur to me while sober.

[@synapsefire123]

It’s not accidental that 3rd eye starts with a heartbeat…

[@OctopiYourMind]

I was lucky enough to see TOOL in 1993. I wasn’t anywhere near ready to understand anything more than they were just awesome performers because I was pretty young. But there’s something so fundamentally true when you guys get your hair blown back and just marvel at how the hell they put it all together. Like, “How THE hell do they put it all together???” It’s total black magic God music. The more I listen, the more mesmerizing and astonishing and improbable it becomes. We are so lucky to get to watch. 🔥💣💯🤘🤘

[@jeremyryan770]

So did you hear the good news? Danny and Justin said they are going to try and get Adam and Maynard together and record an EP while the world is in lockdown.

[@Hollywood6IX]

Yes we did hear abouy that....so cross your fingers, grab your four leaf clover, get your rabbits foot, and say a prayer we get this...

[@fulcruman1877]

Jeremy Ryan coming from Danny, I’d take that with a half a grain of sand.

[@MrPigFister201]

Probably fuckin with us but damn, I wouldn’t hate it one bit! 😅

[@SatanDynastyKiller]

MJK won’t do another tool album, willing to take bets on it...

[@Luke-qi5yo]

pretty sure MJK got covid and lost his voice for a while. Said in an interview that it took him the better part of 2020 to get better.

[@monkeybrainstew7115]

Danny can play 4 rhythms at once, one with each arm/leg. The songs are constructed so well, and show off each member's talent and skill

[@aaronpotton2641]

I have been lucky enough to see Tool live 6 times, I'm only 31! I can die a happy man 🤘👌

[@tiamat29]

So many of these songs from TOOL can easily bring you to tears. And does for me on many listens. It did to see you two start to begin to reach that feeling. tell me what other band can hit you like they do! Im waiting! lol! Yall kick ass! Keep up keepin up! And MORE TOOL!!!!! Once a week is killing me! lol!

[@lewiscase4685]

I was refreshing waiting for this to come out Please react to Lateralus or Intolerance

[@owenc4188]

As in refreshing the KZbin feed to see this reaction

[@damiondifranco2967]

Lol @ "refreshing" bahahahahaa

[@timthompson2064]

When I went and saw TOOL live in Adelaide/Australia for the first time and I really deeply hope with all my might not the last time it fricken blew me away how f'n tight they where. Def the best live performance iv ever seen. But what also blew me away was the couple sitting in front of me snapping their necks head banging as hard as anyone can at a ripe old age of at least 60, awesome, awesome, awesome coz at 53 I'll be doing the same in many more years to come. TOOL, their handy for fixing stuff, their a function in life. A lot of things in life won't run if it break's but with a TOOL it still has a chance to and there's TOOL... Sorry but I FUCKING love TOOL. HORNS UP.!!!!

[@davidpineda1864]

Yo Trash talkers, I've noticed that you guys are always Give Adam, Danny, and Maynard their props but rarely if ever mention Justin Chancellor and his genius contribution to the "Music of the Gods". Just like you all went through the whole catalog of TOOL before listening to Fear Inoculum, I have been going through your catalog today. I subscribed btw. Keep the good shit comin fellas! 👍😎 🦉

[@daneason2834]

GODS MUSIC!!! You know it! Hahah love it! Tool since 94’ for me.

[@willie1062]

You just had your first TOOLGASM congrats welcome to the ARMY.

[@gandalfthesober5502]

They played it live for the first time at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Australia in February of this year. It was most triumphant. 😁

[@jrayez4995]

Isn't amazing how you can listen to a 15 minute song and be fully engaged the entire time? Not many bands can do that.

[@Shadowise-46.2]

I’ve been to 15 Tool concerts and I’ve seen them while using a plethora of different substances, but even when I was dead sober (or close to it) their live performance felt like an acid trip; a wicked and yet spiritually gifted acid trip transcending the cosmos and tickling the pineal gland.

[@justn707]

Justin(bass) constructs the path, Daney sets the pace, Adam lays in the scenery and Maynard explains what your seeing.

[@RobertoCorrea-tr1jh]

never better explained

[@TheChazz1225]

The Forbidden Fruit of Music. Couldn't have said it any better.

[@jenniferevans1171]

If y'all wanna take it way back to one of Maynards first projects there's GREEN JELLO/ JELLY... LITTLE PIGS.1989. It was my first experience with Maynard. I was 14

[@stephengarvey509]

Hahahaha. Little pig, little pig, let me in!!!!!!

[@lambofbodom5610]

Is that Maynard?

[@mephiston001]

@@lambofbodom5610 No, he's the "not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin" part

[@lambofbodom5610]

Mephiston001 well there you go. My 3 kids love that song. Crack up laughing at the “not by the hair of my Chinny chin chin” now I can tell em who it is. Ya learn something new everyday 🤘

[@coreybanger7667]

Love seeing people discover, or rather experience tool for first time. Good vid.

[@wolf-kissed]

This was their magnum opus, it showcased unused riffs and music across their work since 90. It showed their range and Adam finally came alive. Despite you already listening to the top their entire work is not underrated for a second. This was just their answer to fans who waited patiently for over 13 years.

[@Spudz76]

And you can catch the hints of all the old songs and styles in there. It's like a museum of Tool and you get rifled through it in 15:43

[@litawells8803]

Tool Army Here, I have been a TOOL fan for 30 years, I was there when they first came out as a group and was instantly hooked, every TOOL song invokes some kind of feeling that is the magic of this band. Please check out LATERALUS one of my favorites by them, and Thank You for being a class act.

[@creamyy_b9898]

If you'd like to spiral out just listen to Lateralus...

[@residuex]

Clay Cooper reaching out to embrace the random

[@booyaanoles]

Preach. Lateralus is the song we present to aliens to represent us

[@candykore1370]

Fuck yea!! Lateralus is Tool's magnum opus

[@calebperry8056]

Anemia is the goat in my opinion

[@Mazzini11]

Can't leave out Justin Chancellor on bass. He provides the crust to this ridiculously incredible pie.

[@Ogt92]

Once a week Tool is not enough.. Keep it going! Pick any song and all good

[@candacethompson5042]

You boys said it. Witnessing art in its purist form. That is tool.

[@johnnyg6994]

Tool: "Prison Sex," "Eulogy," "H." And how bout Pantera "Cemetery Gates" (studio version w/lyrics).

[@misfitsfiend4029]

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Great suggestions

[@MacAnAirchinnighJM]

Go easy on them. But I agree fully.

[@bryanaralaranation6258]

The GOD of Bass players is to be mentioned. Its Justin who puts down most of the music before the next band mates come in and add their parts. Especially for this album and this Grammy winner right here

[@gerarwhyxD]

Great video guys, 7empest is a journey. Jambi next week would be cool !!!

[@JMV005]

I can't decide what my favorite song is but I'm pretty sure my neighbors love this one, I mean even the cops show up.

[@jamescotner9911]

Well I've been with Tool for almost thirty years and I hope for another thirty. It's great to see people getting it. Nice!

[@Foxxy_Steve]

This whole album invokes imagery in my mind the same way a symphony can. Like a whole story is unfolding

[@tanwarayush1]

This song didn't win Grammy for nothing, after all. I mean, there's no way one can compete with this masterpiece!:)

[@LudusAurea]

This song man, fucking amazing. I never get tired of it, I'd listen for another 15 minutes.

[@lbow09]

🤘🏻🌀 Yup, you get it! It’s damn mind-blowingly friggin epic! Excellent reaction!

[@509thparatrooper]

Watching you guys get off on this is amazing. Cheers.

[@JaysonStark]

Deftones - Passenger! It features Maynard singing on the track. Same with Rage against The Machine - Know your Enemy

[@heavenwithin81]

It's not just a song. It's an experience!

[@jrayez4995]

I subbed for your TOOL reactions. You guys are great! Time to check our Vicarious or Jambi. You'll love both.

[@krt88nc]

What Tool song would, someone who appreciates great complex music, not love?

[@MrDefaultplayer1]

I can’t wait for Vicarious. Their minds will explode.

[@darkchiron]

You never know how a song is going to strike you. Everyone reacts differently and it just depends on where you're at in your life. However this music makes you feel, just go with it. None of it's incorrect. Tool's music has been with me for most of my life, and I'm grateful to have found them.
