Rest assured, I'm not still working on the Lateralus video. I filmed this over a month ago. :D

[@ianscottt3642]

You should understand that the album is the piece of art.

[@FallMatic]

@@ianscottt3642 all their albums are

[@marcavianx5642]

Hah, loved your reaction on the first notes of Jambi 😄. Yes, the song is on the 10.000 days album (which also contains your first Tool crush, "The Pot"). If I'm correct "right in two" ( also a song from that album) is going to be the next reaction in line. Another great song on that album is "Vicarious". If you like another song with a great Maynard finish, try "Eulogy" (although you might not like the unclear megaphone voice effect in the song, he sounds like a manic street preacher). Keep the lyrics ready for that one. When Maynard is holding a note, you could call it the "Maintainard". And angry Maynard is "Angraynard".

[@deifyingpariahs]

Yes it's a tube thingy... voice box.🙂

[@deifyingpariahs]

To see funny Maynard watch Bullet train to Iowa, or Conditions of my Parole. By Puscifer. Both videos are very funny

[@clintwood9472]

Yes, you are correct on that guitar effect you were asking about, the tube on the microphone. It's called a talk box. Peter Frampton pioneered that effect on Do You Feel Like I Do, a hugely influential song.

[@MrAndersonmm]

Other than Frampton pioneering it you're correct. Heil built the first one for Joe Walsh (with Joe Walsh?), and he undoubtedly used it in live shows before Frampton recorded anything with it. I'm unclear if Rocky Mountain Way or DYFLID came out first (both 73). Either way talk boxes were built and used for decades before that in other forms on steel guitar/etc.

[@clintevans1921]

“So what’s your favorite Tool song?” All tool fans- “Yes”

[@Shawn0428]

Loving the Tool reactions. Please, keep them coming. :) For "angry" Maynard, maybe, try Ticks and Leeches or Jerk-off.

[@1898scurley]

Hooker with a penis is my favorite "angry Maynard"

[@markspooner4883]

100% Tics and Leeches. At least if angry is what were going for.

[@darthvvaida3185]

Part of Me is good for "angry Maynard"

[@jeffhelton3364]

Tool Army General checking in. Private Lauren, your favorite Tool song is and always will be the one you are currently listening to. Dismissed. 🤘

[@markspooner4883]

Lol. Love it. Thats funny!!!

[@MostlyCloudy]

lmao that's hilarious

[@clintevans1921]

Lol!! I like that General…👍😊

[@garretthilb8346]

Jambi...jambi..Jambi? Like the floating blue genie-head inside of the box from Peewee's Playhouse? The one who grants WISHES, which is apparently a central theme in this song? Cool.

[@ChaseVonnegut]

Yes the title is after peewees genie and yes that is a talkbox

[@stephenmorelli6741]

I don’t think there’s a single tool song I DONT wanna see you react to lmao

[@normantompkins1252]

Eulogy by tool

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

This song is apparently a love song of sorts from Maynard to his son.

[@frios011]

That pause in the music is called THE DROP! You are totally correct about the sound effect used by Adam Jones about the tube on the microphone.

[@AL13NM]

Jambi is in my top 10 Tool songs. A great song from a great album! Hooker With A Penis is vintage Angry Maynard!

[@jeffhelton3364]

And I caught you from 13:25 to 13:30 doing tiny little headbangs 🤘🤣🤘

[@1898scurley]

So, I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions. I can(not) wait for your reaction to Pneuma. I honestly think your head will explode. Watching Tool reactions has been the closest thing, for me, to experiencing them for the first time all over again. I eagerly await the next!

[@danielrivera1005]

We will wait "patiently"....

[@shep4life]

This song blows a hole in the universe. Bass!!

[@Elis_Gallacher]

The title actually does have to do with the genie Jambi; “Its title has been said to primarily refer to the iambic meter used in the lyrics of the song, as 'jambi' means 'iamb' in Finnish. Drummer Danny Carey stated that when bassist Justin Chancellor played the bass track of the song, it instantly reminded him of the children's television program Pee-wee's Playhouse, then singer Maynard James Keenan thought of the genie "Jambi" and had the idea to make the song's theme about making wishes.”

[@paulwellens3324]

Opitate EP was 1992 - try Jerk Off for truly angry sound. Undertow 1st full album 1993 - Sober live is classic & would be an interesting reaction (especially to Maynard). Then AEnima in 1996 (first with Justin on bass) - lots of great stuff (my 2nd fav), H is the one about his son & Eulogy is awesome with a classic 'Maynard' at the end. Salival was 2000 - mostly live stuff, but also a tremendous studio cover of Led Zep 'No Quarter'. Live PushIt from this is a must listen, Maynard's performance is incredible. Then the best album ever Lateralus in 2001. Jambi was on next album - 10000 Days (approx # of days between his mothers stroke / paralysis and death - Wings 1 & 2 are his emotional tribute to her). Another great listen - Vicarious & the wild Rosetta Stoned. Then had the big time break, up to most recent Fear Inoculum in 2019 where you get less Maynard, but really hear the maturation of their sound - Pneuma & Descending stand out to me. People are right - really difficult to find a poor Tool song.

[@nauseantrock532]

Shine on forever ..thats gorgeous maynard as well

[@bruno-th6of]

If you really, really wanna hear ANGRY Maynard, you gotta listen the Opiate ep. That's raw Tool

[@Downstreamphoto]

This is necessary...

[@johncarpenter3751]

Jambi was the genie in Peewee’s Playhouse back in the late 80’s early 90’s btw

[@RandyM5]

also the Mecka lecka hiney mecka lecka hiney ho...is the riff....i just realized that.l

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Hence the title. And the gif I stuck in there before the song started. ;)

[@douglasdrain]

Every new tool song is going to be your favorite, until the next song. They’re ALL great !!!

[@jonathancapps1103]

@13:57 It's called a Talk Box, and yes. The tube carries the guitar sound from a small amplifier/speaker into the mouth, which then modulates the sound by mouthing the words. No breathing or talking involved. Then the microphone pick up the sound. Essentially, the guitar sound replaces the sound made by the vocal chords. Then the mouth shapes it as normal. Except you salivate a lot because there's a 1/2" tube in your mouth.

[@shamanculture780]

I love that you pivk your pauses the right way and dont cut out the song.. gawww

[@everyonelovesmajima]

We had a cat when I was a kid that I named Jambi. He fought raccoons and once he ate a tray of biscuits off the stove.

[@clintevans1921]

Now that’s bad ass!! Lol. I’m definitely a cat dude!

[@Daniel-xu6kd]

Y O U A R E N O T A L O N E

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Actually the song IS named after the genie from Pee Wee's playhouse. One of them (Danny I believe) said it reminded him of the music for him or something like that...look it up if you need to know. But the song is about the Maynard's son Devo H. Keenan (that's a hint for another song). I love this song because it reminds me of my boys. It came out when they were young and we would all jam to it in my truck.

[@richardjones1498]

Favorite Tool song = Last song you listened to (or watched someone react to)

[@christoffsimply3179]

Every Tool fan asks the question: "What's your favorite Tool song?" Well, the RIGHT answer is "Whichever one I'm listening to right now." It's all amazing. Obviously this band took a LOT of time to compose every one of these. Way more math, talent, mixing and thought went into every Tool song than the last 10 years of pop music combined. This is about as top shelf as music gets, imo.

[@ricardomartinezxx]

And you are someone that actually gets it, I'm glad there are millions of Tool army that understand. It makes my heart warm. As good as it gets, and the lyrics, and his vocals, that's what it absolutely puts it above a else.

[@jasonhaywood7058]

Adam went and hung out with Joe Walsh and that's why the box sound is so cool!!

[@shamanculture780]

The first time angry maynard happens in jambi, i dare you to try to sing that part.

[@jainelson8840]

Yes, tube in the mouth. It’s called a talk box. Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd both used them very well. I’m sure many others, but those are who come to mind.

[@markroberts8864]

First time I have ever seen anyone use the, "talk box", was John Kay from Steppenwolf, back in the late 60's, early 70's.

[@shamanculture780]

I heard him say DAMN MY EYES.... That also is a saying.. right?

[@matthewkolp993]

I love your angry Maynard scale.

[@michaelwadlow2599]

Great song stay on the journey!

[@joeroberts1408]

The live version (Salival Album) of PUSHIT will be your favorite FOREVER, it has smooth Maynard as well as angry Maynard. You will love it guaranteed

[@exerciseforidiots2296]

Every album is FANTASTIC!

[@steveswartz6707]

I'm sure all the Maynards love you as well.

[@me_n_my_arrows]

KEEP IT COMING! Always here for your TOOL reactions!

[@omarceniceros4589]

One of my favs, love your reaction to this song, greatings from México.

[@joescott4778]

Your favorite Tool song is the one you're listening to at the time. 😎🤘 Spiral Out, Lauren

[@Rovalowy]

i loved your reactions all the way! great watch :D

[@joechurch7]

Adam Jones plays his solo through a talk box. It amplifies the guitar sound into a tube that lets the guitarist use the shape of their mouth to contour the guitar sound into vocal sounds. usually no vocal chords are used only the guitar sound that is fed back into a microphone. The first commercial talk boxes were made by Bob Heil. The first one he made was for Joe Walsh and used in the song Rocky Mountain Way then is was made famous by Peter Frampton on the song Do You Feel Like We Do

[@jonathancapps1103]

Right in Two, please. I think you'd dig it.

[@milosvitin]

Did she say "angry" Maynard note was born with the Grudge 😆... think she is ready for Third eye, go on Lauren for live version and see how Maynard holds that note you are crying for! 🤘

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

My video for The Grudge is when I started using the term Angry Maynard. Not when the note itself was born. :)

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

No, I'm wrong. LOL The Grudge video is when I started using "The Maynard" not Angry Maynard. :D

[@ricardomartinezxx]

Yes! Third Eye, my personal favorite "epic" of theirs, the Chorus just fucking brings it.

[@shamanculture780]

Yo i love your personality. You rock!

[@SDGBiscuitJWilcox]

Although, IMO, there are no BAD Tool albums…. 10,000 Days is the album with the songs that reach out to me in a different way. Listening to this album from start to finish, in one session, always leaves me emotionally charged. So far, this is my favorite Tool reaction from you. I can tell, you’re enjoying them.🙌🤘

[@danisyx5804]

you should love it, it's a love song. and yes you are hearing the Talk-Box made famous by Peter Frampton

[@jimmy45481]

Do 4° next, kick it old school This also proves that the best tool song is the last one

[@chriscoe8567]

We are here with you

[@markroberts8864]

Besides listening to," Wings for Marie" Pt1 and Pt2, it's time to check out "Invincible" from the new TOOL cd, "Fear Inoculum".... thanks in advance.... again.

[@jayslayton6028]

You did a great job on this one.. ❤

[@bradennichols3154]

Its about his mom. She suffered for 10000 days. Hes saying he aquired everything hes ever strived for in life. And hes saying he would give it all away for just one more day with his mom. Basically hoping to find a genie and make a wish. Jambi is the genie from peewee herman

[@dennislehman3897]

So you figured it out best tool song is the one that you’re listening to at the moment.

[@pauldavis2535]

Love your reaction you get and it will take more tool to realize it

[@johnswanger8474]

To me, this song is the thematic Anthem of Kvothe from Kingkiller Chronicles.

[@shep4life]

He is a genius with lyrics too

[@MostlyCloudy]

This is on the same album as the Pot. 10k days. My favorite is on this album too :)

[@kendallcluff3049]

With you 100% - when I first heard tool, it was the Lateralus album too. Specifically, Schism and the Grudge were on a mixtape a friend gave me. Then I heard 10,000 Days. And then I had to wait 10 years for Fear Inoculum. :/ Speaking of which, you should react to Pneuma!

[@kendallcluff3049]

13:58 Yeah, it's called a Talk Box. Think 'Livin on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi

[@mr.monroe4076]

[@Vicegrips11]

You're right. Talk box

[@johnwilson1794]

All of the albums have the good ones on them 😉

[@tomwiththeweather247]

Can't wait to see you react to pushit. I hope you do the studio version before the live saliva version. Ideally, I'd like to see you wait to do the live version until you've heard the studio version enough times to bond with it. (That might be the weirdest thing I've ever posted.)

[@MrGreendayzed]

9:16 Aggression.

[@sethjones6102]

Just subscribed, you HAVE TO, HAVE TO do ROSETTA STONED, it’s EPIC!!!

[@BGRPiccu]

For me, Jambi is the heaviest Tool song ever. It's crushing. Plus, with the polyrhythms, the beat is almost non-existent. I watched a rap fan react to this song and he was getting frustrated because he couldn't find the beat to bob his head. What a dweeb.

[@pwph8361]

thanks :) If you want angry Maynard then listen to Ticks and Leeches :) We love all the Maynards also x Peace

[@RyanMovingViolationz]

Yeah, it's more enlightened Maynard rather than angry Maynard....love both sides though

If you want angry Maynard stop fooling around and listen to Ticks and Leaches. It's on Lateralus. It's the only angry song on the album. Tools gift to the studio who was crying about wanting there to be a heavy song on the album. They sure got what they had in mind!! VERY angry Maynard.

[@tidewell]

a cute story about the song - the band will always write the music first, before maynard reacts with his vocals/lyrics. In early stages of the music, the band will usually have a "working title" in place for reference before the lyrics. With this song, one of the rhythm/bass lines that Justin wrote reminded the band of a chant that Jambi from PeeWee's Playhouse would do.... so, as a working title the band referred to it as "Jambi" and Maynard kept it for the title in the end..
