I’ve always known Tool, but never truly… listened. And then about two weeks ago I saw the drum cam video of Danny Carey playing Pneuma. That blew my mind. So I decided to take a listen to the song Pneuma from the album… I literally cried. I called my brother who has been a fan since the 90s and asked, “Is this normal?” He said, “YES! That’s Tool!” Now I’m addicted. Enjoy the experience of discovery 😉

[@wearenotamused6455]

Welcome to the TooL Army my friend🙂 I've been a member since '94 and yes... crying is a normal reaction to some of their songs depending on your phase of enlightenment. I still cry when I listen to Wings for Marie/10,000 Days. The more you listen, the more you'll hear the little nuances they use to evoke feelings in the listener. It helps to read up on Carl Jung, Esotericism, Neoplatonics, Gnosticism, and astrology but its not necessary to enjoy it. Glad you awakened, enjoy the Spiral and let it go.

[@dirk111]

Like you, I knew about Tool but never listened enough to see their absolute talent and perfection. COVID led me spiraling down the rabbit hole, and now they are my all time favorite band/experience. I believe Danny’s drum cam was my gateway drug as well. I see them live next month. Couldn’t be more excited. Also, hello from another Berg/Burg!

[@xL0GAN5x]

Welcome to the Tool Army.. enjoy the ride. Spiral out 🙏

[@jacksmith4460]

I, like your bro, have been a fan since the 90's, in the late 90's I had heard Undertow but only once and was kind of neutral on them, I liked Sober which I had heard a lot, got a lot of MTV/Radio play. I remember borrowing a cassette tape of Aenima. 1st listen, "hmm that was quite good" after a couple of listens "actually I like this" By the end of the week it was "hmm I think that might be the greatest album of all time?" It takes time to really grow with a person. I genuinely think their albums take time to settle, even if you are a fan, but when they do...f*cking hell it hits home. And BTW I still think Aenima is the best album ever made, its not as technical as the 3 that follow it, but there is a vibe on that album that is special, and I think its less contrived than Lateralus, 10'000 Days or Fear Innoculum. Despite me playing down its complexity its still very complex at times, and for me was the start of what the world now knows as Tool. Undertow and Opiate are quite different, to the point where its almost another band (almost, tracks like Swampsong were in the future format to some degree, but they had a different bassist and I think Justin joining was the final piece, he joined just before Aenima)

[@MelissaBergIllustration]

@@jacksmith4460 Yeah, same here. Had to just hit me at the right time. I have always liked the radio hits. And I actually owned the Aenema cd, but only played it a couple times. I was in a different place back then. I do remember seeing the Sober video for the first time. Back when MTV only played it on Head Banger’s Ball. So creepy… I’ve always been a big NiN fan, and I suppose they fit in the same category musically but this has started to hit me at a whole new level. I agree, Aenima is a great album. I listened to it earlier today again.

[@jdaddy1962]

As a fan of TOOL for 30+ years. ......I thank you for your reaction. I could tell you were really feeling it.

[@WARxTOY]

Rock on!

[@charliemoss6379]

I'm in the same boat! Been a fan for 30 plus years and I still get amazed every time I hear them!

[@ivrogggg]

we can restore our first “tool trip” watching this video.thanks dude.

[@Mubiki]

My favorite thing about this song is that it's literally about exposing yourself to new things and new experiences. So by listening to the song for the first time, you are very much living out the very essence of the song... which is pretty dope.

[@rastomasstanford7708]

[@SeeThomasHowl]

As a Tool fan, this is such a Tool fan comment

[@bennettk90]

Reaction videos are like a drug. You get a little piece of that first time you heard the music and it takes you back

[@icepick1514]

Don't ever apologize for going back to replay parts of Tool songs. There was a collective smile when you did that as we remembered the countless times we've done the same. Cheers!

[@michaelcarmack3204]

I love watching Tool fans being born again and again. Never gets old. Thank you for sharing, thank you Tool for over 25 years of untouchable, mystical, musical bliss.

[@EiriUesugiKun]

Now this song truly is "math rock". :D They play around the Fibonacci sequense alot on this one. As well with some time signatures... That intro before the first heavy hit is 01;12 long. And the syllables kind of follow the Fibonacci sequense up and down: Black (1) then (1) white are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) Red and yellow then came to be, (8) reaching out to me (5) Lets me see (3) As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13) Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8) Push the envelope, (5) watch it bend (3) And then in the next time it changes: Black (1) then (1) white are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) Red and yellow then came to be, (8) reaching out to me (5) Lets me see (3) There is so much more (And) beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities (21) As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13) Drawn outside the lines of reason (8) Push the envelope, (5) watch it bend (3) And finally a quote from Wikipedia: The time signatures of the chorus of the song change from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8; as drummer Danny Carey says, "It was originally titled 9-8-7. For the time signatures. Then it turned out that 987 was the 16th number of the Fibonacci sequence. So that was cool."

Great reaction man! No distractions, focus on the music. Every Tool song is better than every other Tool Song.

If that's how the loop goes then I'll put rosetta stoned at the end of the loop 😁

[@paulstilgoe3340]

A true Tool fan will give you a different answer when asked the question of what his favourite Tool song is and it makes no difference how many times you ask!

[@Hisdudeness9500]

The best Tool song is whichever you happen to be listening to at the time.

[@jaynamanda]

The moment you layed your head back on the chair is the moment you felt the spiral! Welcome my friend to Tool, you are not alone and always welcome.

[@DMKarnholio]

8:23 I saw this coming, and still it evoked a rush of emotion when you "whoooo!". I don't have the words to express how a tool song makes me feel sometimes, but visually seeing someone get that hit the first time is absolutely The Good Stuff. I indecently envy the discoveries before you my dude.

[@STILL-KICKIN]

Almost as if you were living vicariously through his eyes… 😉

I've always loved the lyrics to this one. It feels like you can be successful at anything, AS LONG as you KEEP GOING!

[@annaparsons4788]

"Parabol/Parabola" ! Technically, two separate songs, but should be listened to as one. Amazing... highly recommend the official video as well (guitarist Adam Jones does the stop-motion claymation, this band is a many faceted force of nature)! Peace out, man

[@teamramrod27]

46&2 or Stinkfist might be good next options on your Tool journey as it begins!

[@joeroberts1408]

Great reaction, I love watching people experiencing TOOL. Every song is a masterpiece and somehow tops all others. A great sequel would be reacting to Intension and Right in Two, from the 10,000 days album. The message is powerful and relevant even today, and its just plain awesome

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

I agree

[@eebeats2007]

Me too. It’s exactly why I’m here. I can’t listen to them for the first time again. I love watching people hear them for the first time. ESP. Jambi.

[@branon6565]

The panning of the Toms on this track is perfect, the sound engineer knows wtf they're doin behind a mixing board....I mean, if you close your eyes and listen thru headphones, it's like you're sitting behind a drum kit....this is my absolute favorite track Tool has recorded, it's extraordinary.....

[@alethiacraven4305]

I have loved TOOL for years. Their first EP was even amazing (OPIATE). Have you ever listened to A Perfect Circle? It's Maynard's other band...you may like them too. 😁

Any given day, any Tool song can be my favorite - except The Pot. I’ve never been able to get into that one.

[@jacksmith4460]

@@johngilbanni6385 i love "the Pot" however , Vicarious, Ticks & Leeches these 2 I dont like Vivarious - i just dont like it, the whole track Ticks and Leeches, the riffs, drums etc are all great, I just cant stand MJK's vocals on that one, just seems really ...well immature, its odd because I love "Hooker with a penis" which is a similar type of track, but feels more mature in a strange way even though it was made several years prior? But yeh 99% of Tool tracks...will hit the spot

Tool is one of the best bands ever and Maynard is one hell of a front man! You can't forget a perfect circle, or puscifer! So much music, you have opened up Pandora's box brother and you are going to enjoy it!

[@xavierostolaza6559]

ÆNIMA is another masterpiece. Whenever you get a chance, this album always gets overlooked by fellow reactors but listen to their unreleased Salival album. It’s only on KZbin.

[@beermike2169]

Keep up the nice reactions. Being a that i'm a little older i tend to forget that some of the younger generation has not necessarily gotten around to listening to older music yet. It's fun watching people discover something new and different and enjoy it at the same time! Cheers 🍻

That’s how you enjoy TOOL, headphones on and getting lost in the music! Excellent reaction!👍 Song recommendation: Invincible, Third Eye, Right in Two, The Patient

~Push It~ from Aenima. It changed my young life forever in a good way.

[@gcramer30]

I once had a DVD of a bunch of tool Videos and I cherished that thing. I don't honestly know if I still have it 20 years later. Can't think of when it would've gotten into a de clutter box. So I think it disappeared during my divorce when a home got abandoned while I was deployed. I loved and still love Tool. I think I watch all of these tool reaction vids from a ton of creators. Never seen a bad reaction.

[@candyjowilcox4539]

More than 20 years since it's release and this song is still considered the best and most influential metal song of the 21st century and yet it isn't even metal

[@franktherabbit47]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t call it the most influential metal song of the 21st century. It’s a great song. No doubt about it, but they aren’t metal like you said and I feel like Tool are they’re own thing. How many songs from other bands actually sound similar to this? They definitely have influenced some bands, but they are far from the most influential. I kinda prefer it that way to be honest.

[@atlarsenal]

Keep the Tool coming! Spiral out!

[@ianthompson9236]

Literally just watched my dude spiral out. Congratulations. Welcome

[@Romulux]

"Is all their songs like this where they build it up?" Not all of them, some of their older stuff isn't as varied, but one of the hallmarks of Tool is definitely their rhythm changes, and the way they play with the minimalistic and build up into those complex, intense, and almost jarring moments that can literally change your life. I love how they do it with every instrument, including Maynard's voice. It's all done masterfully. Tool was my favorite band for a long time, but even though I listened to them every day I didn't fully understand the music because I was more focused on the sound than the lyrics. Now, after getting older, I've come to realize that I wasn't ready at the time to really listen to and analyze their lyrics like I used to do with other bands and rappers. Much like a psychedelic experience, their music can literally be a Tool to expand your consciousness and self awareness, and that's something you have to be prepared for. I feel like now, more than ever, I gain some insight from their music every time I hear it. This is why they're one of the greatest bands to ever exist, and why fans so fiercely recommend them. When people are in tune with the music it's like watching them trip out, and it brings the viewer as much joy as the first time listener. I've been judged for being a Tool fan in the past, but only by people who have never really listened to them, so to see all sorts of different people from different musical backgrounds react to, and enjoy, them is a great feeling of validation. I've always believed that there's something for everybody in their music, whether you're ready to hear it or not is the only question.

I don’t know that I can really come up with top tool songs because I love them all so much 😆 but I guess check out Sober, Ænema, eulogy, undertow, prison sex, the grudge, schism, right in two, pneuma, vicarious, fear inoculum, stinkfist….I can’t stop so I will stop there.

Check out Tool's song The Pot. It's an amazingly written and of course beautifully sang by the greatest vocalist of our time in my opinion, the great Maynard James Keenan!

Maybe not an early tool song or songs to start with, but unlike this that puts you in trance, Wings for Marie and 10,000 days together (As it two parts of the same) will pull every raw emotion buried deep into the forefront. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. I cry like a baby every time.

[@JAAB7]

This, Pneuma and Aenima are my 3 favorite Tool songs ever, but you kind of can't miss with any of their songs all depends on your emotional setting at the time IMO, I kinda feel like this is how music works with our brains in general, it's just that every person can have a different way of processing specific songs, and certain music might have different effects on different people in different emotional settings, one person might like a Hardcore or Metal song when they are *actually* angry, while someone else might prefer it when they're calm and relaxed (AKA we're all unique and things effect each of us uniquely, including music). One of the very few artists that legitimately have MULTIPLE (if not all) "no skip" albums in my opinion, and there have been so many times I've gone back to a song I didn't care for when I was younger, but after....spiraling out a bit further in my life to new perspectives, I listened again...and wondered...wtf was wrong with past me to not see how amazing the song was back when I first heard it. Great reaction man!

[@deplorabledavidl.536]

[@tomwiththeweather247]

[@amyhe4612]

They used the Fibonacci sequence extensively in this song. It’s in the lyrics, guitars, drums, chords, etc. 123 321. Black then white, all I see, in my infancy. It’s a very mathematical song. Then you delve into the lyrics and the meaning. A lot of Maynard’s lyrics across his 3 bands all are about the stages of life and all the problems he’s had, being born, growing up, drugs, sobriety, relapse, his mothers death, etc. they’re not superficial or just meant to sound good, but give little snippets of his life if you pay attention. Maynard is truly one of the greatest artists ever.

[@litawells4264]

The first time I listened to this song alone and uninterrupted, I cried. You should check out Parabol/Parabola next it will make you feel AlIIIIIIIIIIVE...............

[@VegasJPH]

Once you open up to the genius of Maynard & his lyrical mastery you're hooked. Copied from Wiki: The syllables Maynard sings in the first verse follow the first six numbers in the pattern, ascending and descending in the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3. Black (1) then (1) white are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) red and yellow then came to be (8) reaching out to me (5) Lets me see (3) In the next verse, Maynard begins with the seventh number of the Fibonacci sequence (13), implying a missing verse in between. He descends back down with the following pattern; 13-8-5-3. As below so above and beyond I imagine (13) Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8) Push the envelope (5) Watch it bend (3) The second verse adds the missing line to complete the sequence; There is (2) so (1) much (1) more that (2) beckons me (3) to look through to these (5) infinite possibilities (8) 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3-2-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-8-5-3

[@SCT15H_07]

Great tool songs - 46&2, sober, aenima, vicarious, jambi, pneuma, invincible and for a real hit in the feels "wings for Marie" and "10,000 days". The last two need to be listened to in that order. Another band, same singer a perfect circle - judith
