👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘

[@amonamarthfan666]

The “synth” you’re referring to is actually Maynard with a megaphone.

[@Youtubz12]

Was going to say the same thing. He's singing a long note and just tapping the input trigger. Very creative and haunting sounding

[@yobee8329]

Never knew that. I thought it was one of Danny's mandala pads

[@WhiteDwarfVR4]

69th like on this comment.. Nice.

[@DonShetland]

Only know this from seeing them play this live at Ozzfest ages ago.

[@bikesandbeans]

@@WhiteDwarfVR4 I read this in the voice of that dude that reviews old military MRE's ahahha.. Nice.

[@nickoftime5759]

“The purgatory that is Tool.” Beautifully said.

[@alihijazi4451]

Amen to that!!

[@ChuckWasHere]

Maynard's melodies were so on point on this album. Especially this song.

[@ZVvereVvolf]

Was but a taste of what was to come in Lateralus.

[@kzed.]

I'm so glad you did Eulogy. So over looked and happens to be my favorite song by my favorite band.

[@jokergreeting]

It’s not overlooked. They just have so many great songs…can’t listen to them all at once. :)

[@benkelly7182]

It’s my favorite as well. I saw them pay it live which they’ve only done a couple times.

[@DogmeatDied989]

It’s a solid choice

[@ACarter87]

@@benkelly7182envious affff I’ve got to see them twice since Fear Innoculum, and as great as that was I’d kill for Eulogy That said, they played Intolerance outta nowhere n it was Danny’s birthday and I think (?) Maynard’s was coming up or recent maybe (?) but He was CLEARLY driven by Danny Bday (audience got to sing happy bday to him), you could tell it was pushing Maynard to prove he still had it eventho they were getting old Intolerance literally had the stadium shaking so hard I thought the actual stadium was going to collapse… Amazing Not to mention Danny’s double bass ending at end of Schism with that brief moment of silence before audience went crazy, was so powerful that it was still reverberating Thru my body in the stands for a good 15 seconds… I’ve seen LOTS of bands n never felt such power in my life

[@benkelly7182]

@@ACarter87 that’s awesome! I saw them on that tour and they did play hooker with a penis which I didn’t expect.

[@ericflaherty4668]

There are live versions of this where you can see Maynard using his whole body to hold that scream at the end. Crazy stuff. Looks like a demon invoking hell.

[@williamcozart8158]

Yeah those old live performances were amazing, Maynard was always so tense and focused. In that live clip, at the end of Eulogy right after Maynard's big scream, the last 8 or so bars Danny goes into that tribal drum beat, Maynard busts into a trace dance thing that just looked hilarious and cool as shit.

[@assmaster420]

Good byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhh. Too bad he can’t quite match that now, but still

[@benkelly7182]

@@assmaster420 I think he could do it but he might die which would be ironic lol

[@Aaronsolnelson]

Maynard has a lot of great screams, but I think this is my favorite.

[@thomasc2680]

That’s a good metaphor, since the scream goodbye is to Jesus

[@manakin5]

Eulogy is one of those Tool tracks that I never check off as being one of my favorites and yet every time I do listen to it, I always think it really kicks ass. It creates so much space and expansiveness.

[@t4terade]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[@rpg_haven]

There's a reason it's the second track ;)

[@crad7636]

Hey Geebz! I believe the “keyboard” there is actually Maynard singing into the megaphone while keying it on and off. Excellent song and reaction as always.

[@crad7636]

Heh, paused this video while taking the kiddo to school, I see that this got covered nicely long before I hit send. 😏

[@LexiPixeL_]

I wasn't sure, but I thought I heard that as well!

[@GimmeJimmy23]

Yeah, it took me many years to realize the same thing, but you can tell that that sound is in the exact timbre of his voice through a megaphone, if you listen closely. I'm guessing it probably occurred to me the first time I saw a live performance of this. It was so long ago, I just can't recall. So cool that Tool is always pushing the envelope with how to approach each instrument. So, yeah... Geebz, most of us didn't know what we were hearing on first listen, either. As I like to say, anything is obvious in retrospect. Thanks for doing this one! 🙏

[@ryansylvia9710]

I didn’t pick up on this until I saw him do it live. I saw and was immediately like 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@marissanorth85]

I've screamed this at other reactions 😂 great little detail that adds so much.

[@BrokenFistX]

The production on Aenima and Lateralus are, for my money, the best of all Tool albums. David Bottrill produced both and is an absolute master.

[@JaySay]

If you were to pin down the 'sound' of Tool over their entire career together, it would absolutely be found within Aenima and/or Lateralus. Aenima has that angst and sarcastic comedy from their earlier years, and Lateralus goes hard into the trippy, melodic greatness that Tool has mastered today.

[@chriscoote2690]

I think Aenima could have a better mix. 10000 days is better IMHO…

[@ChuckWasHere]

@@chriscoote2690 Mix? Maybe. Production? No way.

[@ACarter87]

Idk why Aenima gets so much praise I personally think it sounds awful compared to how good the others sound I will say, idk if you know this, or how true this is, Bottrill recorded Danny’s drums sideways ! Meaning instead of normal headphone on hi-hat to your left like your sitting at drums , just like every other record since beginning of time, he has them reversed with hi-hat on right, etc….. Which I personally think is amazing and one reason why the album has such a unique sound I don’t HATE the production, but songs like hooker with a penis sound like they were recorded in a tin can for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[@ACarter87]

@@chriscoote2690I just left same comment before I saw yours, 🙏 thank you for agreeing since everyone seems to think this is the best produced album ever for some reason

[@raindropcleaners]

That repeating noise in the beginning is Maynard through a megaphone

[@Mellyouttaphase]

When I was about 13, my sister’s boyfriend at the time had left this album at our house and I was playing Stinkfist on repeat because I already knew it. But then I didn’t skip back in enough time and the beginning of this song drew me in and the journey had begun… Thank you, Anthony, wherever you are because you inadvertently introduced me to my favourite band of all time 🤘😎

[@technologicalsociety]

My uncle Anthony introduced me to this album when I was also 13. He would come by to visit and was always listening to music and this album was his latest obsession. I didn't like it at first because I was into Metallica mostly but this album opened up a whole world of music that I would one day appreciate. Tool and this album. They tapped into something beyond themselves with AEnima. I'll just leave it at that.

[@poker_dealer]

He planted his seed in both you and your sister

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

​@@poker_dealerzing

[@GeeTmbrTmby]

The 13:34 mark in this video is my favorite part of this song. Danny’s hi-hat work against the kick and snare is kind of polyrhythmic and I love that stuff.

[@sirdo946]

Yep, im 99% sure the hi hat openings/accents can be considered a 2 over 3 poly

[@AKAUncleBeau]

Without doubt; I completely agree. The entire song might actually fall flat without it. Everyone I knew with a drum kit was trying this over and over in 96.

[@MissMy5.0]

Always get goosebumps when that riff comes in!

[@kimfinch67]

I’ve heard that this is about L Ron Hubbard.

[@thegoonbats]

It could apply to many, but more specifically Bill Hicks.

[@scottmatznick3140]

@@thegoonbats Danny said it's about Ronny Hubbard. As below, so Above.

[@thegoonbats]

@@scottmatznick3140 I have not heard that before, but I trust your word. Maynard also was the one who wrote the lyrics, so that could be Danny's interpretation.

[@rh8211]

That 5/4 open hi hat drum/vocal part is legendary. Truly original. Danny "the octopus " Carey. 🤘

[@sacredgeometry]

Its mostly guitar and vocal.

[@doctajuice]

It's 4/3 poly but yeah that part is sick. One of my favorites

[@darenmiller2218]

🤘🏽

[@aaronwolf3587]

I’ve heard more than one member of the band say it’s about L. Ron Hubbard (founder of Scientology) Maynard often uses things from different religions, especially Christianity, in order to connect it something some of us are familiar with. Yet he still usually won’t say what he thinks about, but clearly he had something in mind while writing. He likes to leave things up to the listener.

[@howardcraven3664]

Exactly right

[@eggstu]

I believe the band stated this was about L Ron Hubbard and similar type people.

[@paultullo3275]

You’re thinking of Ænima. Eulogy is a dedication to the comedian Bill Hicks.

[@MostlyCloudy]

@@paultullo3275 lol no

[@davidbaca7853]

I believe I also saw that in an interview.

[@Patrick-857]

@@paultullo3275 They wouldn't say that stuff about Bill Hicks. Nope this is definitely an attack on L Ron Hubbard and people like him. "He had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say" Are you familiar with Hubbards books? Science fiction epics that fill an entire book case with God knows how many huge thick books in a series, and they are almost unreadable, literary masturbation by a man with no talent at all. I'd call that a lot of nothing to say. Bill Hicks was a friend of the band, and he had a lot of SOMETHING to say, and was of a similar mindset to the guys of Tool, think for yourself.

[@daltonjones1482]

7:27 That's an INCREDIBLE way to describe that melody WOW. Made me realize again how awesome Maynard's writing is. That gave me a light bulb moment kind of a feeling 😂

[@lumbeemamacimaglia9850]

I'm literally in my car rockin out at work.. I'm so excited you finally did this song. 🥰🤘🏼

[@the48thvain]

Fun Fact: the clicking in the intro is actually Adam plucking the strings behind the bridge of his guitar

[@speakwithanimals]

hearing you talk about rhythm in such an excited way makes me want to know what you'd think of Meshuggah!

[@IsilZhaSB]

He seems to have recovered pretty well from COVID. Went to a show January 2022, and on that tour he was doing the scream from The Grudge for the first time live since 2002.

[@j_murdoch]

Yes! I love this song, it moves through so many sections. It was great to see you notice all the tiny details and flourishes, and I'll agree this has a more Sabbath rock quality. I'd love to see you tackle more early Tool material. Check out 4° from Undertow.

[@williamcozart8158]

An underrated Tool classic.

[@therealnynetynyne360]

Or bottom, the spoken word section from Henry Rollins

[@krystalm4590]

The song that got me into Tool. So creative and amazing. That intro draws you in. Thanks Geebz another great reaction

[@monkeyfarm]

By the way, that twangy mono-synth sound is Maynard flicking the volume on/off while speaking into a megaphone. Also, the lyrics referred to the comedian Bill Hicks.

[@Patrick-857]

I never knew the exact technique, but I always knew it was his voice. It just has an uncanny valley sound to it that a synth couldn't do.

[@ericfountain4656]

Always thought it was about L. Ron Hubbard

[@sleepycakes]

I always thought this one was about Bill Hicks. In the liner notes there is a picture of Bill too. They toured together in the early days. He leaves it open to interpretation too, to multiple meanings, which is what is great about Maynards lyrics. Great song, great album! :)

[@diezelvh4133]

It was about Bill and his comedy on the inconsistencies of religion. The whole album was dedicated to him.

[@Dunn6945]

*Eulogy* is about, "directing to those that preach with egoism and anyone who is playing the part of the martyr for the attention, of which there have been hundreds since Christ" 😉

@@Dunn6945 no

[@m1k3g3tz]

i'm not going to say that this is the best tool album, or my favorite. however, it is the one that i connect with as a whole. this track, and 46&2 are, to me, quintessential tool. a lot of transition in the band in this era, with the change from paul to justin ... a tightening of the overall sound, and each player growing - this is the snapshot of an evolution.

[@williamcozart8158]

Stinkfist, 46 & 2, H, and Eulogy were all "radio singles" that played on rock radio stations regularly right after Aenima came out.

[@bwhotwing411]

To me this song is when I really stated to realize how great Tool was and started to dig into their deeper tracks more. The riffs on this song were so amazing after sitting through the odd build up it makes you think for a first time listener.. “we’ll that’s was awesome I wonder what else they’ve got?!”

[@deezylfizzlepop5509]

I specifically listen to this song every Easter.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Eulogy is a fantastic song that is criminally ignored by many. It’s not a song that is played live at least not in recent years. Personally I think it has some of MJK’s best vocals. Glad you reviewed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Dwendele]

I really like that you've become open to reading lyrics!

[@Chris_Bro_aka_MR_PLAT1NEM]

That synthesizer like sound is actually Maynard keying a bullhorn while singing.

[@ngarthl]

The eulogy to Bill Hicks makes me tear up every time I hear it. Maynard clearly loved the man, and this is a great expression of that. Third Eye lets you hear parts of his philosophy, and he was a great comedian and had an unfortunately too short life. Bill Hicks is still one of my favorite comedians of all time, and he should have lived longer. Rest in Peace.

For those unsure, go listen to Bill Hicks comedy on KZbin. You will find all the references within the lyrics in his skits. Talking about how he would die a martyr, etc. He is also in a lab coat, with a 3rd eye on the inside cover of the album artwork.

[@muttonmark]

Hi Geebz! Thanks for coming back to some more Tool! (Tongue in Cheek - my favorite reactions by you). Just an FYI, the "Mono Synth" that you were talking about (~6:22 mark) is actually Maynard using a mic with modulation where he does the "Dat-Dat....Dat-Dat...Dat-Dat..." David Bottrill was the producer/engineer on this album. Stay Safe!

[@Silencerz85]

Hey Geebz! Love your work! Small question. There's this song that few have heard but it is, in my humble opinion, on of the best songs ever made. It's a redo of David Bowie's Bring me the disco king (Lohner mix). You definitely should check that out! Other artist like John Frusciante, Josh Freese and of course Maynard James Keenan were involved. A gem that flew under the radar!!

[@allanholman8302]

This song is actually a tribute to the late great comedian Bill Hicks... The band members are huge fans of his comedy... The intro of 3rd Eye by Tool is a sample of his work.

[@locustkllr]

Right and the sort of cynical sarcastic take on someone's Eulogy, both praising and berating them for all their human faults and triumphs goes right along with Bill Hick's comedy stylings. i think if he were alive to hear this song, he would've said that's it. that's fucking it exactly.

[@thearctopus]

Bill Hicks is also featured in the album art... "another dead hero"

[@thearctopus]

I also recall reading once that Maynard wanted to try his hand at stand up comedy and he opened up for Bill a couple times.

[@richardwalsh5458]

I didn’t know that bro thanks for the info👍🏻

[@eyemoeba]

it is an easy conclusion to draw (that it's about Bill) but Maynard has gone on record to say that it isn't about any one person in particular, though it could be applied to many.

I was lucky enough to see this live in Hershey in 2017, the only time they played it with Maynard for quite some time. They played it again during the 2018 music clinics (without Maynard) and someone asked why it was only played once during that tour, if it had something to do with the passing of Chris Cornell. Justin only answered with a "we don't know who the song is about." Or something along those lines.

Great reaction! This is actually my favorite "straightforward" Tool song. Such an infectious work of art that keeps things simple for the most part but has litterally ZERO fat and aside from the similar (although NOT actually alike) structure of the first and second verses, has next to no real repetition within itself. Amazing. What lean beast this song is.

"get a little bit of the deeper depth of the depth of what hes deep about" might be the best thing ive heard in a while

I'm still here Geebz! Also the very first time I saw Tool (Seattle 2001) they played this live. The weird "synth" noises you're hearing during the intro is actually Maynard with a voicebox of some sort.

Ha, ha! Finally! Glad you got to it. And on Twitch now, too? See ya there!

[@ACarter87]

Geebz is spot on, they’re ALL about dynamics, has a lot to do with their sound and the band in general

[@radioethiopiate9327]

That scream at the end is great. Especially considering it's double-tracked. The scream so nice he did it twice.

Too, is godlike. You’re awesome, my decomposer man

[@alpur214]

Don't know why this wasn't a single, because it's my favorite track from that album, and one of my top favorite Tool songs - wish they would still play it live. Your Tool reactions are by far the best and most informative. Thanks!
