Listening to Tool: Hooker With a Penis - Thoughts and Opinion

[@Mazzini11]

One of the most under-appreciated, straightforward, Tool songs, in my opinion!

[@mugwump7049]

Under-appreciated? I don't think so. It's one of their staples.

[@melvinwomack3717]

YES! INDEED!

[@Mazzini11]

@@mugwump7049 under-appreciated as far as reaction videos, I think.

[@matthewbrug6337]

@@Mazzini11 Probably just due to the title. Most reactors don't want this song's title in the title of their video at least, out of fear either from KZbin or even their own snowflake fans lol

[@dfbovey]

Aenima is great because it’s not only angry and energetic, but it also is their first real foray into prog while still being in this angry place. So you get the pure greatness of songs like Third Eye and Pushit.

[@rx7dude2006]

Been forever!Glad to see you doing more Tool.

It' been a while, Jim. Nice to see you return to TOOL.👍 This is short, powerful and sweet, love it! Be well, good sir. Cheers from Slovenia.🍻🥃#retiretheduck 😁

Hey Jim. I think you’d enjoy the Danny Carey Drum cam of Pneuma

[@zeldroid5085]

Can confirm, absolutely brilliant that is.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

It's been suggested that the whispering during the instrumentals is Bill Hicks reading merch lists; and during the bass solo, he says "consume, be fruitful and multiply"

[@PSadvance]

If you like that, their EP is closer to this style of track than their later work.

Its about commercialism. Vans...pop brand. .501 jeans...pop brand. Coke...pop brand. Beastie Boys tee...pop group. Nipple rings...trendy pop culture. Accusing TOOL of selling out. We all sell out.

[@slamduncan4794]

Glad to have seen your video pop up in my feed, Jim! Just yesterday I was listening to Lunatic Soul's "Gutter" and randomly wondered what you might think of it. And then I log onto youtube today and your new video is up. What a welcome coincidence!

[@planet9938]

"Angry Mallard". I'd love to see that incorporated in a video game or RPG. Hell, I'd love to see it incorporated in Angry Birds.

[@flyinganchovy5267]

[@Ragnar-7034]

Hey Jim, one last request if you happen to see this. I’d like to see your reaction to the live drum cam version of Pneuma. I think a lot of the people here in the comments would like to see your reaction to that as well.

[@zeldroid5085]

Agreed!

[@jasonmagistro1053]

Good to see you back!

[@shaunbryan3421]

Glad to see you get back into some Tool but there has been a lot of new Jinjer tracks dropped lately. Tatiana's one take live vocal performance of Judgment and Punishment. Their new music video of the song Prophecy and some live videos from their concert in Melbourne Australia.

[@cranboogie]

Yes! You’re back to Tool!

[@FlyingHellFish99]

Most certainly not a complaint but - I miss when you used to play TOOL from youtube videos, which of course was the only way to stream TOOL before they went on Spotify. I could instantly recognise the song by the thumbnail of the video you were playing, having visited the same videos myself oh, 1,000,000 times! :D

[@fotipitrakkos1193]

What I find most impressive with Maynard's lyricism is that even in a straightforward song as this, he paints a beautifully ironic picture of the "boy" as a great set up. Name brand jeans, Beastie merchandise, and drinking Coca-Cola while making his point. Even the tatts and nipple rings on this fella are him selling his image as an anti-authoritarian anarchist, thus ironically doing the very opposite. Even the fact his claim of them selling out has to be based of Undertow of all albums, considering this album wasn't out yet - that alone outs the boy as more of a try hard contrarian, and speaks to the nature of consumerism and the hypocrisy that festers within. Maynard could find depth in watching grass grow... oh wait, he kind of does with "Disposition."

[@op1ate43]

[@thisiskris017]

Love your genuine reaction videos but if you've gone through the entire tool cataloge you should really listen to Aenima front to back. It works so much better as an album than just individual tracks. It's truly a beautiful, grimy industrial prog rock experience

[@pauljansen1137]

hey Jim...everything allright? loved your Tool reactions in the past...great song to comment on..lyrics are pretty straight forward, no?

[@spongylord7131]

Fun fact that is probably already in the comments. There is a voice track in the very back of the song of a man softly reading out a Tool merchandise list.

[@mugwump7049]

Whoah, I never heard that!

[@wastagwaga]

Is it during the silent bir before the "all you know about me" part?

[@riffgroove]

I saw TOOL for this tour in a 5,000 seat hall when this album dropped. Maynard introduced HWAP with "This song is about all our new merchandise." And it is.

[@spongylord7131]

@@wastagwaga In all honesty I cannot hear it specifically but I have been assured over the years that factually they did layer that in but it melds into the back of the track. So let me know if you catch any of it while listening to the song. :)

@@JimNewstead this song feels very Desert Rock, the genre which includes QOTSA and Kyuss and a lot of others. Tool covered a Kyuss song on their Salival album.

@@hunterwyeth No, they didn't. The only covers they did on Salival were "You Lied" by Peach (which is Justin Chancellor's old band) and "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. Pretty sure they used to cover a Kyuss song, but it is only available as a bootleg.

Tool has NEVER sold out. They do what they want, and you like it or not. That's Maynards point. They sold out shows, not their music.

[@rumland]

No sir you are wrong, tool did sell out, that is the point, we are all sell outs. Tool in the song sells their musical talent and creativity, in return they get fame and money. The boy in the song sells his image, the man is literally a billboard for main brands, in return he gets "?popularity?". The point here is we are all sell outs "Hookers with a penis", what separates us is what we sell and what we get in return. What do you sell? Your image, your talent, your labor? Are you getting an equal or greater return for what you sell?

in talking about the sound and tone of the music, It sounds much more like their earlier mateial to me. Itys more loose as you pointed out. Its one of my favorite Aenima tracks because of how it stands out among more contemporary material on Aenima and more modern tool material. That said, I do prefer Tools more recent sound. but this song is one of the last songs they made that has the raw teeth of tools earlier sound and I love that about it.
