"Its an odd feeling". You're feeling Tool buddy. You're feeling Tool.😁

[@StarCustom-pk5ff]

Tool is 3 absolutely brilliant musicians and a spiritually awakened poet. This turns the songs into magical incantations.

[@Panyc333]

Words can be magical

[@samvimesfan9779]

1 bass player,1 wookie, 1 octopus and 1 poet. For precision's sake

[@cmay7429]

Yeah. It's crazy when you hear a song like Judith, with all its visceral rage, and then put that with his later, Wings For Marie. Some of Perfect Circle's stuff too, really read like hymns.

[@CC_Babblecock]

Great description, I think of them like this too. They’re not really a “band”, they’re 4 of the most talented & intelligent people who joined forces to create something that is its own genre.

[@jermhol800]

somebody get this fella a concert ticket!

[@johnbarrie447]

Taking my son to see Tool tonight, his first ever concert. Thanks for all your videos.

[@hyzerbomb957]

Setting the bar high right out the gate!

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

My first show tonight too…Nampa! Sadly I have nobody in my circle with any musical taste so I’ll have an empty seat next to me😭.

[@kennethstreet7868]

Way to throw him in the deep end

[@danielhill8200]

I was 30 years old before I ever attended a concert, 34 now. I’ve only been to 3 concerts in my life. Tool was all 3.

[@johnbarrie447]

@@danielhill8200 Ha, that's great. Now you have to widen your horizons...A Perfect Circle puts on a pretty good show too. ;)

[@LuckykidA]

Maybe he's saying he would wish away all the material comforts of a king or sultan if it would keep him from losing his son, Devo. His son lifted him up and turned him round. Devo is his benevolent sun/son. Who knows with TOOL. Maybe it's a song about a frog, a bucket and a protein bar. ;)

[@TommyGetTheBag]

😂 Nailed it!!

[@kramkalisthenics]

it's about his mother IIRC.

[@LuckykidA]

@@kramkalisthenics Very possible. I would suspect it could be taken a few different ways. Tool has never been 1-dimentional.

[@TheMightyOdin]

This is one of the songs I have on a workout playlist that I start up whenI’m done warming up and it’s “go time”.

[@thatautistrob]

Mine is Lateralus followed immediately by Parabol/Parabola. I will be swapping out for your idea next bc that’s FUCKING EXCELLENT.

[@ronb6152]

"The chords were moisturized"...... I love it

[@clab5864]

I heard dripping sounds!

[@jmathieson15]

They were ashy-Bill Burr

[@dustinbrooks9060]

At its core I understand this to be a love song. At the beginning of the song they talk about all the riches they have, but how they'd give it all away if it meant not losing "you" for even one more day. Later on they talk about how they were dark, but that person made them good. At least that's my interpretation. This was one of the songs we used at my wedding 😊

[@crystalscolza1663]

Whoo hoo..I got my coffee..the sun is just coming up. Let's go! Shine on forever, shine on benevolent sun.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

It's about having his son, Devo H Keenan. And how it changed his life. Don't let anyone tell you it's another song about his mom.

[@wesbeuning1733]

Yes, awesome. Think it is also about growing past the temptations to compromise personal integrity.

[@ju4408]

Nah, it's about Korzybski's non-Aristoleanism. Duh.

[@mikeguardiola9115]

That's H.

[@LuckykidA]

It's a song about his mother's grandson! ;)

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

@mikeguardiola9115 Yes, H is also about his son.

[@maureenwagg5305]

Wow! Just ask and receive! Thanks! lol Bass, then drums and you are hooked. This blew my mind.

[@shep4life]

This song blows out the universe

[@alirazah]

They opened their show at Aftershock with this last week. It was magical.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

thankfully some of you lucky b#stards (joke, I'm just jealous) uploaded the full show on youtube. Sick setlist, awesome show

[@djsynful]

My son got to finally see Tool live with me at Aftershock, he slept through Korn. They just played tonight in my hometown but I was working

[@gregc2621]

"Jambi" is an Indonesian Province in Sumatra, which was once part of a powerful kingdom with a rich sultan who lived an opulent lifestyle. Jambi also means "lamb" in finnish.

[@mikesale6474]

You gotta look up Maynards battle with himself. His mother was bound to a wheelchair for a long period of time. 10.000 days. But the beauty of it she never lost her faith. He couldn't understand that or fathom it. A Perfect Circle's 1st album reiterates this. The song Judith on that album is the greatest song I've ever heard.

[@NorbertHajduNorb]

This is exactly what I thought this song is about, and he sings he would give it all away, the fame and fortune, just to spend one more day with his mom.

[@cmay7429]

His mother's name was Judith Marie. Maynard also suffered abuse - I believe by his step father. A lot of his earlier albums touch on that. It's always amazing to see the metamorphosis over time of a true artist.

[@ju4408]

11:37 the bass is just warming up. The slide down into the riff change got you like they meant it to. Bravo. And yes, Adam uses a talk-box on a couple songs. An Epilady on others.

[@bradleymatthews8101]

Get a ticket to the nearest Show to you, make any effort to get there at any cost, they are now touring. Life changing experience.

[@ceebee491]

I think the bass has a Flange effects pedal. It has a nice clear top end and a thick low end

[@kurtpiron838]

Solo is done using Talkbox guitar effect 15:05

[@aaronmueller1560]

As a further explanation of this, a talkbox essentially has the guitar sound traveling through a tube into the guitarist’s mouth/throat. A mic then picks up whatever sound is coming out of the mouth, so the guitarist can form shapes with their mouth to affect the sound and make it sound like the guitar is talking.

[@muktuk20]

@@aaronmueller1560 the inventor of the talkbox died today :(

[@hamishbartholomaeus]

Every tool fan waiting for the 12:18 mark…!😁⚔️💪🏼🔥

[@danielhill8200]

12:02 This whole section is earth shattering live man. They change it slightly live too, they put in a full 4 seconds pause before they punch the fuck out of you with that 12:18 section.

[@user-fm8xs3hr3w]

Your reactions are always awesome! Always honest and genuine:)

[@gary2kr1]

He's saying he would wish all his worldly belongings, fame and fortunes away if he had to choose between these earthly trappings and the person he's singing about. Which is probably his son is my guess

[@dabberdan6129]

Exactly

[@frogmandible]

Geat reaction! I lovd watching folks try to wrap their heads around the talk box sound!!

[@joshlewis5065]

Jambi definitely has one of my favorite rhythm guitar riffs

[@shep4life]

He's one of the best lyricist ever. He's brilliant

[@Astroboy29]

you are so good at describing aspects of tool songs in a simple way that resonates with me a lot. you are a fantastic reactor.

[@MugnifyRTS]

Wow, thank you! I try to understand music on a spiritual level lol

[@scottst1112]

I feel this song is an ode the human he has become and strives to be possibly from self convictions and boundaries he’s found to make him most at peace and understanding in this form of life. The wish away part is basically saying he would give away his fame, wealth, and lifestyle, to remain committed to his faith, hope, beliefs, and values he has cemented at the center of his mind, body, but ,upmost, his soul.

[@Half-Cocked]

I've always viewed this as a love song. Coming from a man who had everything he ever wanted. But is willing to give it all away for the woman who saved him. Forever indebted to a person who pulled him out. Or maybe that's all subject to personal experience.

[@crystalscolza1663]

It almost sounds like a voice because it is almost a voice. It's called a talkbox. Peter Frampton is famous for using it. Also bon Jovi's guitarist richie Sambora in slippery when wet used it.

[@joechurch7]

The earliest incarnation of the talk box was invented by Jazz steel guitarist Alvino Rey in the late 1930's and later adopted by Pete Drake in the 50's. They weren't commercially available until audio wizard Bob Heil made one for Joe Walsh to use on the song rocky Mountain Way. Bob showed it to Peter Frampton and Peter had to have one. The Frampton Comes Alive album brought the device to the mainstream.

[@meganbeshear8644]

Adam called Peter Frampton to ask for advice about using the talk box.

[@jayslack41]

I think he used a talkbox combined with a whawha on this song

[@CC_Babblecock]

Glad we’ve got you in the Tool Army bro! Pls do The Patient from Lateralus next 🙏 It’s nice to see someone so articulate doing these & the more I rewatch, the more I think 10,000 Days is probably on par with Lateralus. We all wish we could hear these for the first time again, so we’re living vicariously thru you. Let us know when you’re gonna see them live!🌀

[@gonx4llo]

I love you man! I am seeing your videos/reactions for the 1st time and i respect you 'cause you appreciate and try to understand the message of the whole song, the lyrics and everything. And of course your reactions makes me smile because i love Tool. And also i can tell you know so much about music in general. Greetings from Argentina! Keep beeing this authentic bro!

[@lontollison6771]

That moisturizer line was a good descript,like it gonna steal it,appreciate it, thank u👍

[@aoharmon83]

Ive been waiting for this one :)

[@thatautistrob]

I’ve been appreciating their later stuff (10,000 Days and beyond) as I listen to it more.

[@chicagoaustin727]

Great reaction. “Pleasing to hear,” while challenging the ear. Tempo tours and transcending transitions.

[@utubeuser2086]

I use to get really high and jam TOOL. You will here all kinds of stuff.

[@chrispalacios8690]

Going to a concert with you will be awesome to see them

[@ukoid]

Yo I been bingewatching your Tool reactions man, awesome to see. You get it. Two I wanna hear your thoughts on: Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned, and Hooker.

[@Devdor]

I love how you break down the lyrics man! Tool songs are ment to make you think and process. Tool definitely has an art of making listeners do this but not everyone gets that it’s not just “music” it’s about making you use your brain.

[@Devdor]

That’s always why I love watching tool reaction videos because it’s enjoyable to watch how people think and process the songs

[@scottspears9347]

Their music makes you feel high even though you're not

[@mickyr171]

Fun fact, the name Jambi came from the show Peewees funhouse, Jambi was the name of the genie in that show hence why this song is themed around wishes

[@kandicemayfield917]

Once you've become part of the TOOL ARMY you have started feeling the music, not just hearing it. It's unlike anything else you'll feel or hear.

[@zackwrenn3926]

Shine on forever shine on benevolent sun

[@zackwrenn3926]

Nobody is allowed to know what it means.

[@Enochulator]

the solo is, indeed, through a talk box

[@ThomasSmith-tx5dl]

It's a love song. Could be taken many ways.... Romantically, friend, mother, father, son, daughter.... But wishing you could do anything to bring them peace and comfort and expressing how much they have meant to you.

[@Ruprecttt]

The intro is Adam on guitar. His tone is my absolute favorite.

[@ccopps69]

Using his “pull through” technique… also used on “Invincible”. The guy is an astounding guitar player.

[@chriswebb7822]

Adam accomplishes soooo much with so little, he's criminally underrated! @@ccopps69

[@thing12games44]

I love how Tool lyrics can be interpreted multiple ways. Like a painting, you take from it based on your life experiences. You could say it’s about a man who is wanting to avoid temptations of cheating on his wife with more attractive women (if my eyes should compromise I might as well be done). He is willing to give all of his success away if it means he could be with her.

[@witchyone]

Yeah, Jambi! Great way to start my day. 👏

[@dillonbatchelor316]

I believe that it's about an awakening of self and stepping out of the darkness to find value in life and others. Realizing that earthly pleasures are temporary and insignificant in the face of love and honor and that you'd gladly "wish them all away" if keeping them meant losing what was truly important and eternal. "If wants and needs divide me, then I might as well be gone".

[@ginatrapp9676]

Its talking about our spiritual center and finding that balance.

[@justaquietpeacefuldance]

When someone said "I got those cool stereo speakers" I go "idgaf, play Jambi" and then I knew :)

[@jacksmith4460]

I think its about his Wife and the effect she had on his life. I think one meaning is basically he was flying high with Tool, but with that comes temptation and excess, but meeting his wife saved him from that temptation. The Genie thing is likely a joke for the Tool members. Tool have always made stuff up. In the album AEnima the inlay included a listing of "other Albums by Tool" which were not real Albums, and were all silly joke titles and album covers. Also 1 year before releasing Lateralus Tool had a major feature in Kerrang (a metal music magazine) announcing "their new album" and all the song names and album name they quoted in the interview were all a joke and a complete lie. They probably did name it Jambi because of the show, but the lyrics I think are personal to Maynard and about his wife and her basically her causing him to halt all the partying and excess that comes with being a rock star. If you read the lyrics again with this in mind they all make total sense. Cant remember where I heard that but I think it was a quote from Maynard, but I cant remember so that could be BS.

[@larrystandridge]

I really appreciate the way you take care in your study of words and meanings. We currently live in a world without reference or meaning. No one tries to understand anything but what lies on the surface so no one ever see that knowledge is the force that sets you free from the slavery of the ignorance they is pervasive in everything that surrounds us. That noise becomes the thing that comforts us and makes us feel okay but it is the lie that compromises everything we hold to be precious and worth the sacrifice of everything else to just hold the truth for a minute in a world full of lies. The Darkness is the lie we tell ourselves to feel okay about the evil that surrounds us. The truth as Jesus said sets you free because its shines forth with forever and shines on forever and then shines, Basically the truth is what lifts us up from the darkness about to drown us all. That is just the interpretation I feel!

[@Jason-eg4hr]

Your videos are solid man! Your descriptors are outside the box thinking, perfect for a Tool fan. Also great pickup on “hearing a voice” on the guitar solo. 🫡

[@tonysoto8949]

True story Jambi was the genie on the pee wee Herman show

[@rickace6986]

Correct. This song was kind of a "joke" yet I certainly didn't take it that way until I heard one the band members (Danny I think) talk about the genie etc.

[@scottclarke7595]

Damn dude now I’m gunna watch all your videos. Got me with the pot and then this one. Awesome 👏 👏

[@josephberg1586]

You have @Mugnify Reacts reached the 1st step towards the TOOL Army. Now go see them LIVE. You don't need Drugs or Alcohol. But do what you want 😜 Be kind, be nice, think for yourself, and enjoy life.

[@jackiesmith2831]

I live in South Africa and I will never get the chance to see them live. It’s my all time live show dream

[@jonnybooks9337]

13:40...as i understand it, it is an effecy Adam uses that kinda makes a voice sound like a "transformer"...not 100% sure of what it is officially called, but it is a "vocal" effect Adam uses along side his guitar.

[@kennethalbert4653]

An example of a fulcrum is the center part of a. Teeter totter. The point at which things lean one way or the other.... Right ^ wrong Good ^ evil Etc.

[@LokiMocha]

Yes!!! Let’s do this!!

[@josephberg1586]

Also I saw them in early 2023, will see them in 2024(my brother got tickets already) And it's all new Imagining and show, with a different set list.

[@golden454]

Tool, huh? Amazing 🔥🐚💫☮️💜

[@aja75aja]

I waited for it "and got what I wanted all along" pause!

[@Elliot-k8f]

Maynard is saying, all the money, all the fame, selling his soul...is now meaningless because a lover's wisdom shattered his paradigm and turned him in the true and correct direction 👍🤓🙏

[@beirch]

My only gripe with people reacting to Jambi is they *ALWAYS* pause in the middle of the buildup to the "drop"

[@theskincareskinny5006]

Sleep Token is my newest obsession, Tool is my oldest 🥰

[@DC-bx8ww]

The tool bassist was a guitarist in a band called peach gp, the bass and lead guitar can swap positions in tool.

[@clintonchico9547]

Its definitely Maynerd using a talk box at the end. He sings into a hose that gets reverberated by the guitar.

[@themarsh429]

12:58 Legend has it, Tool imprisoned demons in their instruments.

[@Chippss-q5f]

ToolArmy, UNITE 🫡

[@abeal5188]

12:27 So when they put 4 on the floor it feels even harder. That’s why they play with rhythm. To paraphrase Peter Gabriel, They’re feeding the the rhythm.

[@connorbrown8479]

Dude, you get it.

[@Elliot-k8f]

Silence legion is the secret dark society that nearly swallowed him, his soul.

[@Kratosis1980]

I've been sayin that TOOL writes some stuff like rap lyrics. TOOL has bars lol

[@Kratosis1980]

Plus my black buddies never would appreciate my rock shit and I'm like I appreciate your hip-hop shit bro 🤦🏻‍♂️ so seeing black dudes finally appreciate what TOOL has been doing for 30 years because of these reactions makes my heart happy. Mugs is great at these too!

[@WWHD223]

Maynard also shared His apparent hatred for god in that as well in pretty much all his lyrics.

[@justaquietpeacefuldance]

2:28 that was what? Oh, I got to the famous drop. Funny as ever :P

[@CrWilson-do1ik]

Maynard is a GENIUS!!!!

[@randomsasquatchwithwifi4090]

We talked about this before, Mug....it's a dirty, nasty, beautiful wah pedal

[@berinmind]

Yes I've always thought this song had a primitive tribal vibe.

[@ginatrapp9676]

❤❤❤

[@prefono]

"It's definitely a voice"... You're definitely half right: it's a guitar effect called "Talk Box". With this effect the sound of the guitar reaches the mouth where it can be modulated. It's beautiful but not very popular.

[@prefono]

After writing the comment, I saw that you know about the Talk Box... But KZbin won't let me delete the comment for some reason. So instead of deleting it, I'll write my apologies here 😉 As an aside, from what I know, Maynard said that this song is about becoming a father. In my opinion it makes sense, I can hear the story of someone who managed to make his dreams come true and had everything he wanted. But then he understood that the really important thing is this person and he would be willing to give away everything he has just to spend one more day with the one who is the center of his existence. I think it makes sense.

[@WWHD223]

I believe he’s either talking about god or his mom the album is named 10,000 Days dedicated to his mom who died from her disease and don’t quote me on it but she may have had multiple sklerosis? Which is Lou Gehrig’s disease. The song on this album names Wings for Marie 10,000 Days part 2 is dedicated to his mom. The A Perfect Circle’s song Judith is about his mom as well. Though that song isn’t exactly positive like Wings and 10,000 Days part one.

[@beirch]

Still waiting for that Stinkfist reaction

[@E2DaG805]

You made my day man..thank you

[@jimbojones8978]

Damn my eyes... they make me see things that I want and need... but if my wants and needs disrupt my balance... (fulcrum), I may as well be gone..... (unalived?) Something like that I think.

[@LudusAurea]

13:40 thats guitar but there are likely some vocals along with it

[@MikeTiger-ut5pr]

On Jambi

[@TheDarkchum1]

That sound was just the distorted guitar (Adam) palm muted.

[@MrJosedaluz]

Do only Tool songs until you ran out of Tool songs.

[@frankrizzo6404]

Its a voice box.. all guitar with a tune goibg to your mouth

[@chocolate-teapot]

The guitar distortion I'm pretty sure is done with a tube in the mouth

[@chriswebb7822]

The correct lyric is actually 'DIM my eyes', you can actually hear it pretty clearly in at least one verse if you wanna go back and listen. 👍

[@justaquietpeacefuldance]

Idk where exactly they take inspiration from, I've watched couple of interviews with Maynard and he said a bunch of things, mostly about his vineyards and "this is easy to listen to" oh, I'm sure :) jk, I like him as well.

[@PufferFish-n9p]

[@michaeltiideberg2670]

JAMBI.... YES peewee Herman. LOL

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

Mugnify Reacts i still think Sweat is the best and most important Tool song. It's the 1st song on Tool's 1st official album, Opiate, because without Sweat, all the tools on the world are useless and futile. It's up to US to DO WORK!!! SWEAT!!!
