[@MessalineApghar]

there's an old school way of making that pad note without overdubbing , by multitracking yourself live simultaneously. ... splitting the feed and putting effects on one line and no effects or different effects on the other. jimi hendrix did it without effects but anyone else I know of needs processors to get the job done. when I was engineering, I used to love to use unorthodox effects stacked in odd ways to make new sounds.

I always think of what Adam, Justin, and Danny are doing like a 3 Man Weave drill in basketball. One of them is always down the middle (in the rhythm) while the other two are weaving in and out of the same rhythm. Every song they weave back and forth flawlessly each getting to shine.

The ending of a phrase "lick", pushing Maynard back so you can hear everything as a whole, etc. Love it, brother, easily my favorite reaction channel now

[@richardchacon1330]

Booster Rockets! Another great reaction brother. I’ve heard this song 10k times and it’s the dynamics as with most tool songs that really drives their point home. Keep it up and great haircut.

[@williamatwood]

I really appreciate your technical breakdowns. It does give me new ways to look at my favorites

[@DuhQuanNigstix]

Mind blowing tune and intense lyrics. What more can you say?

[@thecreatonaut6165]

I can't wait for you to do Tools "Eulogy" early Maynard and I was hooked. One of the best intros by Tool in my opinion. So many layers I can't even count.

[@Mattball82]

I used to listen to this song for the last 15 minutes before I went to work for the longest time.. love the drumwork so freakin much.. also Tick and Leeches is phenomenal opens with the best drum section to me ever and Reflection is unbelievable lots of great drumming in those two along with the rest of what makes Tool great!

[@peterwadkins4718]

I’ve never listened to tool nor seen your channel. Now, I can say after diving in at nearly 5am EST, I’m a fan of both. Thanks for using your life experience to provide us less inclined in music an insight into something I know nothing about.

[@TheMrgrieves0914]

Most of us have heard this song a thousand times, and are, at the very least, really interested on your take. So plz stop the song.

[@FirstnameLastname-qp4hf]

It helps you not get striked, by the way.

[@coma13794]

That's @#$#$ spot on.

[@9Skiddlerip9]

I have no problem with stops as long as you go back enough to appreciate the transition. Which you do! Well done and great channel.

[@ladyinred330]

That might be the best comment I've seen in years...

[@chrisjenkins963]

@@FirstnameLastname-qp4hf He can't get striked because his channel isn't monetized but YT's algorithms pick up the song identification anyway. It will pick it up based on even a few seconds of audio. That's why the description has the name of the song. He doesn't manually put that in, it's licensing info picked up when the upload is processed.

11:28 in, you say “Cymbals are never mic’d on their own...” The entire Songs for the Deaf QOTSA album, Grohl’s cymbal tracks were mic’d individually.

[@rfgate]

Mate keep it up. Love what you do and never apologize for stopping. That’s why we are watching!! 👍👍👍

[@99bajakid]

Man, I went down a rabbit hole with you. I really apricate your videos, I fell in love with tool due to their production value, so it's cool hearing this coming from another production nerd.

[@amandanicholson7444]

This song is so appropriate now.

[@larrygoodsell9273]

Good gawd it is.

[@Hempknight79]

I remember a mate telling me these guys were ahead of their time... Boy how little he knew lol

[@that.tool.chick0]

Also right in two

[@arizona71189]

Yes...yes...doesn't make sense though..Maynard is a huge liberal

[@amandanicholson7444]

So am I, but it does make sense.

[@danielsimpson1757]

Fantastic content, pause wherever you want, we're here for you to be you. +1 for Eulogy and Opiate

[@MrBonsav]

And possibly Undertow

[@drunkwarrior3964]

This is so beautifull when someone enjoy music you love. Spiral out keep going man. Tool forever

[@johnrhoades4366]

Just want to let you know you are killin it! Love your breakdowns. Long time tool fan and you help expand my enjoyment of their music. 🤙

[@scottgoehring3142]

You give best reactions to Tool. Love the fact you don't do the lyric breakdown. You immerse yourself in the experience.

[@50NewEyes]

That bass though!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

BOOM - Right?

[@thierrymiradey2346]

Pleeease give a breakdown of Jambi ! You'll love time signature ! A Tool fan is always changing his top#1 Tool song... depending on his mood !

[@redtalon81]

Great channel dude! On one hand get to see somebody experience great songs for the first time from a epic band , in the other I appreciate you pointing out engineering aspects that help me better appreciate it my experience I actually find myself going back and listening to older songs just to apply the knowledge I've learned. so keep it bro

[@evantarracciano4211]

Still waiting on Wintersun's "Son of Winter and Stars" (Live from Sonic Pump Studios) I know you said it was on the list but a solid 30-40 songs have passed since then. Fingers crossed it comes soon! Cheers and Aloha!

[@mudbutt42]

Waiting like a stalking butler, is one of my favorites

[@drummer265]

You're someone I would absolutely love to spend a day talking music with. Your videos are awesome!

[@Petteriks]

I mainly watch videos with likeable people in them. You sir are a likeable person - I'm glad people like you make content on KZbin 🙏
