"you think its about to drop and then it's like hold on we're not their yet" - Tool... the masters of musical edging!

[@jeffmatthews6672]

Yes, Maynard writes all the lyrics. What's interesting is the guitarist and bassist bring in some riffs and jam with the drummer until they come up with something they like, then send it to Maynard who writes the lyrics and drops them into the mix and on top of the music. They have had 3 mixers/producers across their 6 EP's and albums, but the band has always had a hand in that too, as they have a very precise sound they want. You've been sucked into the hole, enjoy the ride.✌🤘

[@Hollywood6IX]

your absolutely right bro, we have been sucked into the hole known as "Tool". if your correct about the fact that Maynard writes all the lyrics then this guy is a lyrical genius. make sure you subscribe to the channel stay tuned for more and give us a suggestion on what we should do next.

[@jeffmatthews6672]

You mentioned the Fibonacci sequence. It's a part of Sacred Geometry, which is the philology of all things in the universe exist in harmony, whether it be a material object an individual or a space and vibration, in regard to sound and hence music. You will notice the lyrics follow this in most songs and give you the tools for inner harmony and a path to personal enlightenment and growth. It's up to the listener to figure out how to use these tools on their own. Hope that helps.✌🤘

It's just really hard for me to compare across genres. I'd say in the top tier for rock and metal music though. If it's not in the top 500 as the previous commenter said to me thats more because theres just such a sheer volume of music that gets made. But truly I could not name 500 songs I like better. But I also pretty much hate pop and rap because even if they sing great or are super clever they just dont have the musicianship to keep me hooked or the lyrical content to get me to care. I dont need any more stupid songs about getting fucked up and having sex and making money. I got bored of hearing about all of it by the time I was even a teenager. I like tool so much just cause its different. Wish there were more bands like them so I can stop being accused of pretentiousness. Not my fault market demand is shallow and stupid and our culture doesnt give a shit about anything other than sex and money and catchy little 4 bar beats you can rap to or gyrate to. If anyone out there wants to make more tool-type stuff please do I would like more bands to listen too. I'd do it myself but I am a talentless asshole and it's too late for me to try and master instruments and music theory.

To me they are the greatest of all time. They've been my favorite band since I was 16 and I'm 44 now. Couldn't tell you how many concerts I've seen in my life but I have seen Tool 9 times, 3 times I followed then from one location to another the next day.

I totally agree with your post. I first discovered them when I was 17, and now I am 47. I have seen many bands, from Slayer (x6) to Kyuss, to Testament (x4)to The Sword, Primus (x4), Mastodon (3), to COC to QOTSA, to Star gaze like Verve {Storm in Heaven era}(x4), Torche, Spiritualized, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride....on and on. There is no band that I have seen live (yet) that can compare to the experience of Tool. It is Cathartic. They are amazing live. From the sound quality to the show in it's entirety. It's fantastic. And your statement about being better live than recorded, I would have to put Clutch (x13) up there as well.

[@Dmoe2600]

@@muttonmark those are some great bands on that list and a few I’ve seen myself like Slayer, Primus, as well as Les Claypool and His Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, COC, Mastodon.

Clutch is one I’ve yet to see but they are definitely on my list. Tool is the only band that actually makes me emotional listening and especially seeing them.

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

100% like them or hate them, they're undeniably the most talented band since those days. Dare I say even more talented. Those bands were amazing and deserve all the praise, but sometimes i feel like it's a bit blown out of proportion, and lots of us were raised by parents that listened to them in their prime, so there's the nostalgic factor for them, but we're almost taught to praise them. don't get me wrong, i love them and think they deserve tons of praise. but to put them on such a pedestal that they will forever be untouchable from any modern music to come is absurd. they should always be appreciated because they are in fact good, but also because of their impact on music, but we need to give new music a chance to breathe to bring back the soul in modern music. there is tons of great music today, it's just not given to you from MTV or the radio. Perhaps Spotify is helping a bit, and youtubes algorithm seems to find new music from time to time that jives with me. but yeah, I think Tool is easily today's version of them. i don't think they'll be praised the same way given it's different times and the industry has also changed significantly. and yeah, i do personally think Tool is better than all 3 of those bands, as much as i do like all of them. i can only hope that Tool is kinda like Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd was actually more under the radar to a certain extent than most huge bands back then. They were liked by many, but still weren't nearly as respected as the other bands at the time. Pink Floyd became much bigger as time went on

Maynard is a crazy talented man. From a military stint, art, lyrics, farming, business management, I don't think the man sleeps. I just wish I had a small fraction of his work ethic. It's insanity.

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

Here's how Tool write their music: The musicians, Adam Jones guitar, Justin Chancellor bass and Danny Carey, the great Danny on drums, write the music. This happens in hour long jams, putting bits and parts together, trying different combinations and versions. Only when the musical part is done, Maynard writes the lyrics to the music. It's always this way. It's part of why they need a lot of time for their albums. Enjoy your new favorite band!

I also love all the unique quitar work, never heard anything like it before. And Danny of course is a god. The first time I heard them was when the video first aired on MTV headbanger's ball.

"Wear your grudge like a crown", etc. was not an advice, or even a resignation to reality, but an exposition and criticism. It seems like it was not apparent to you... They drag you down, so "let go" and "change these leaden grudges into gold".

[@YesterdayDMS]

Well said my man!

[@tomkenney5365]

They paused the song right at that transition, and talked for a while, so they didn't catch the power of it musically, or the emotional shift in the song.

[@leinadtresmegisto8516]

A crown of negativity

[@liveactionlink8736]

"That drummer is amazing" You are very correct. However, he's not just amazing, Danny Carey is the greatest drummer to ever exist. Of course that's just my opinion but it's a highly agreed upon one and one that I'd stick behind to my grave. Danny Carey is both the reason I started playing drums and the reason I quit lol

[@jamesmay6674]

Man you guys are really on point with your estimations on the background.. it makes me really wanna watch hearing you guys actually get down to it on the level that most of us got into it on. If theres ANYTHING I could say to help is, the mix on the tunes to voice ratio, and man, I dunno about most people but if yoire gonna go into a point I do not mind you pausing it and going back!! Love your work, keep doing what you're doing. You remind me of me and my best mate, white/brown duo, into rap, but ones into metal and ones into rap.. so.. thanks boys!!

[@joannareed7443]

Yall got it, you're on that plane of existence now..Tool is fucking mind bending and I am so fulfilled watching yours and anyone's first reaction. Keep riding down that spiral fellas Also read up on Saturn Return, it will make you really think about things

[@neurochris]

I think I am all caught up with your videos on Tool for the most part. I'll check out The Pot too. You guys mentioned Lateralus here, that song is definately work checking out. Also so glad you guys found Tool, and that we found you too, it's just one big inspiration.

[@Hollywood6IX]

We're just grateful you guys let us be a part of the Tool Army

[@danielwhite8544]

Tool an absolute journey bro!!! Think of the lyrics. Absolutely awesome

[@devanhammack695]

Funny coming back to this after all these months of watching Tool Tuesday and seeing you guys react again. Smokey, you were into this.. haha

[@wilhelmvongoldmund9697]

Epic reaction too, thanx for feeling music this way

[@danr154]

This was a great reaction. Maybe my favorite so far. I'm glad you seemed to genuinely enjoy it.

[@jeffnickel4648]

The best reaction video I've seen. You guys are the best. Tool...great fuckin band.

[@sixstringer98]

Tool and Smashing Pumpkins are two of the greatest bands of all time

[@hyperfine3633]

Typical Tool fashion, taking quite a straightforward concept and turning it into absolute diamonds. The lyrics are about growing up and developing, losing your spite, grudges, excuses and justifications, and calculated tolerance, and becoming a collected and mature individual. A lot of the Lateralus album is about growing and sloughing off your ego. The band absolutely weaves a web on this track in particular, glad you enjoyed the lyrics especially!

[@LudusAurea]

Expanding on this, basically all of their albums since at least Aenima have this sort of thematic approach - at least lyrically - where they are a stage of life. Lateralus was like a metamorphosis from their younger, harder days of Opiate/Undertow where there's clearly raw energy and aggression, into a later stage. Then 10,000 days is like getting older and Fear Innoculum is like a mid-life kind of thing when you look at songs like Invincible where the lyrics are quite on the nose about getting older etc.

[@brainstormgfx]

I can't wait for your next reaction. You are going to Spiral into the arms of the Army...like it or not.

[@donhicksoniii6751]

I often get away from my roots and your series of Tool Tuesdays has made me snap out of the duldrum. Love it, love your reactions. Good s**t!

[@theREALjsikk]

A new video just came out of drummer Danny Carey performing Pneuma live on drum cam....yall should do a reaction to that.

[@Tepasd]

You guys mentioned the fibonacci sequence thing in Lateralus, check out the video Tool Lateralus & Fibonacci Sequence here in KZbin. In that video they lay out and explain nicely all the little things they did. Keep on spiraling out, I'm going to enjoy the journey with you!

[@Hollywood6IX]

Thanks we will def look into it and were glad to have you on our road to 5k

[@LHC2112]

Gary White! Lmfao

[@jimmyodonnell3580]

You both have learned so much since this reaction. Thanks for your continued participation. The light has shown upon you.

[@skyfayette8907]

Bro it’s so nice to see others enjoying the brilliance of Tool lol

[@FatherDingo]

Stayed for the reaction, subscribed for Gary White.

[@MikeTiger-ut5pr]

K, been checking yall out for about minute now Love your style Especially Parabol reaction, so far Y’all listened to the whole song and experienced it I totally dig how open minded you both are Yes … he writes his own shit and is a genius, lol The band writes the music then gives it to Maynard

[@MattMuirhead]

It's good that you are recognizing the mastery of the writing and musicianship - Tool is one of the few bands in history where every member of the band is an absolute genius. Soak it in - spiral out.

[@marmarsmandalas]

Just was directed to your channel. Love it guys! Tool is so fucking amazing. Definitely do something off the new album..its a Masterpiece!! Pneuma..one's spirit our life force! And yes he writes his own lyrics.

[@mdmcpherson8574]

Tool is my GOAT 💕

[@slantz49]

Maynard ..writes all the lyrics ..but only after danny ..adam ..and justin ..make the song ..he in a sense becomes another instrument!.. Also if you did not know maynard is also the vocialist of a perfect circle ...as well as pusifer ...all while owning and operating a vineyard/winery...and is also avid in Brazilian ju jujitsu purple belt ...not trying to sound like a fan boy. ...this man is a force !

[@blytheguy7510]

I nearly met the artist Alex Grey once. Lol. I was at work and while I was on lunch, he came into my store to shop. I've always regretted missing him. Lol. He was in town for an art festival. I've had his hardcover art book, Transfigurations, for decades. You guys should check it out. He has a website and temple called The Sacred Mirrors. He draws humans without skin to remove all prejudices by his viewers. He is someone that understands humans on a physical and metaphysical level. I always got his art calendar each year I could find one. And for TOOL, you guys need to see the video for Parabol/Parabola (it's a 2 songs in the same video) if you haven't already. Thanks for the video guys.

[@pavlito86]

I'm new to this channel.. I discovered your video reaction channel around 2 days ago.. and I'm hooked on your reviews.. I mean, I've never seen a video reaction with such deep, interesting theories and interpretations.. keep it up! Keep'em coming! I love Tool, and I'm finding these reviews amazing.. especially knowing that your background is not metal, but to go for Tool and obsess like this, it seems quite amazing to me.. I'm glad I discovered your channel guys. keep it up!

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

A 25-second scream, the third longest scream in any song, ever.

[@TheSuperRyne]

Easily the best band of all time....every song kicks ass!!

[@Bhutchin09]

I think tool is just in a class of their own. One of the best bands ever

[@RosettaStoned462]

Bestttt!!

[@jeremyknees9227]

I'm beyond joyed that you, as rappers get it. "Beautiful" is the perfect word. This is only the 2md video I've watched of y'all reaction. Much love to the newest members of the tool nation, the church of Maynard. Welcome, we've cookies in the back

[@sindelismsucks2968]

Good reaction guys! I'm looking forward to watching your journey down the rabbit hole that is tools music

[@RexJava1975]

Right In Two...you guys are going to f*****g love it. Some of Reverend Maynards greatest lyrics ever.

[@jtrem08]

Now that you know a little bit about it you guys need to do the song Lateralus!!! Loving the Tool reactions!

[@cam0217]

Maynard do write his lyrics, the interesting thing is that he always waits for the song to be finished so he writes with the mood the music sets. That's why his lyrics goes so well with the genius musicianship of the other band members.

[@dylanzapletal7291]

Alex Grey That's the man who painted those paintings. Look him up! He's really cool! :)

[@anthonyhill4639]

I've been enjoying Tool since 2006 and to hear you guys listen and react to The Grudge, it felt like I was hearing it for the first time again

[@mranchorface]

Ok it's official, just stuck with ur channel for the last 2 hours. And it's almost 6 am now, here in Germany. 😊

[@QuickerByFoot]

Great reaction video, and Tool is ALWAYS a good choice! Thanks, guys. 🔥🎧

[@johnbooth9957]

Hell yea this use to be my favorite tool song when I was like 14
