Orchestra Teacher Reacts - TOOL?!?

[@snax087]

Do more Tool. Musicly inclined people reacting to them are the best reactions to watch. I'm astonished you havent heard this yet but i'm glad you recorded it

Yes, this 🤘🌀

It’s a 25 second scream. He was shooting for 27.5 seconds (the number of years it takes Saturn to go around the sun) but he almost passed out in the studio. I’m going to see Danny the drummer tonight with the 80s King Crimson tonight.

Man I don’t hear people mention Justin, the bassist, enough and his touch absolutely makes the TOOL songs for me, I mean everyone else goes beast too but the bass is just so moving. So thanks for mentioning I guess? 😂

[@theawakener4360]

You need to dive in into more Tool. Try “Pneuma” from the new album. Also the Danny Carey drum cam

[@svartmetall]

Would love to see you react to 'Schism' (that song was my gateway drug to Tool) :)

[@ModoTronic666]

I think that was more like a 23 second scream. One of the greatest drummers ever played one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@RosettaStoned462]

Tool army reporting! More Tool! This song is still bad ass live! 🐐

[@carlakane3313]

If it's been a long time you will sooo appreciate going from start to finish. The progression in absolutely everyone will impress you. I only became a huge fan in my 50s. 10,000 Days and Fear Innoculum recruited me into the Army. But then I went back. I hate myself for not buying a CD but I had a 9 yr old into Linkin Park so nu-metal it was but Tool was "weird". I was crushing on Adam in my 40s 😅 Anyway, you won't be sorry. There are only 5 albums with some special videos peppered in. 🌀🌀🌀

[@RosettaStoned462]

I'm in my 40s and I only became a member of the Tool army in the last 5 years. My husband introduced me to Tool. I surprised him with tickets to the FI tour in 2019. I went to that concert only really knowing, and loving, The Pot, Jambi, Right in Two, Rosetta and Fear innoculum. Over the next year I started listening more and it finally started clicking with me. Then one day I realized I was listening to the best fucking art I've ever experienced. I am now obsessed. ❤

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

"The Bass player from Tool...." is Justin Chancellor. The most beautiful and sexy human being on the planet.

More of a Renaissance Man than weird. Dig into him some more. Love that you can count it right. The polyrhythmics are what attract most fans. It gives you four different points of interest each listen. And then the lyrics. Looking forward to more. 🌀🌀

Cringiest fucking fan base in all of history no wonder Maynard hates you all

[@yarrrrmebucko]

Unlike every other group...the instruments are composed and recorded before Maynard figures out the lyrics. He goes into their sound cold and crafts lyrics to fit their work. Amazing process.

[@TonyToledo22]

Metalhead music guy never heard of TOOL??? Hilarious. 40 years

[@Diabolocles]

listen to Pnuema next the time signatures are amazing

[@trfatman]

Maynard incorporates the Fibonacci sequence in the rhythm/lyric structure of Lateralus. You also need to watch Mike Portnoy try to crack the rhythmic code of Tool's "Pneuma" on Drumeo's channel. It literally took him all day! Hint: think 33/8, broken into groups of 5's, 6's and 7's with a 3 or 4 thrown in.

[@scottst1112]

In todays collectively declining and self decaying society, Maynard is a “weird” individual. In a free thinking, self sufficient society, Maynard would be as normal as they should come…

[@johnseward2934]

With your background in music, you really should listen and react to Lateralus next, off the same album. Its one of those peak Tool songs in a catalogue off high points. Sonically, lyrically, and structurally incredible.

[@E-LawReacts]

I’m actually going to run that album top to bottom on Monday morning as a lil celebration for breaking 100 subs!

[@johnseward2934]

@@E-LawReacts Rad! That's going to be a Journey. If no one's told you yet, let Parabol run straight into Parabola, don't break them up. Same for Disposition to Reflection. Those are musts. I would also recommend letting the segues run into their following tracks, Eon Blue into The Patient and Mantra into Schism. Not absolutely necessary, but they do set the sonic palette for the songs.

[@xraymike10029]

5/4 time

[@syntheticsleep]

So...Meshuggah... I saw Tool on the second leg of the Lateralus tour and Meshuggah opened. My roommate got his forehead split wide open in the pit while they were playing. Probably Future Breed Machine. Had to go get stitches at the colosseum infirmary. Anyway, you could tell both bands influenced one another on that tour when their next albums came out. And that Tool performance was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I thought I was going to a rock/metal show, but instead it was some kind of twisted, dark Pink Floyd experience. Incredible.

[@77Samuel75]

If you play the, we will come. Tool Army!

[@BuzzaB77]

its all 5/4 except the double kick build sections in the intro / outro which are 4/4. the feel is definitely split 6 and 4 or 8 and 2 quite often though

[@NoahDefacto]

[@E-LawReacts]

Heck yeah, drop some dope metal tracks 😤

[@jamescotner2459]

Tool of course, yes so many new discoveries?

[@Marnee4191]

It would be great if you could say at the beginning whether you've heard the song before or not. (Your channel description says, " I'll give it a first time watch or an opinionated breakdown," so no way to know which one it is.) Not a complaint! Just a suggestion. Anyway, this is my first time watching your channel and I'm only a couple of minutes in, and had to say that I can't imagine any of my orchestra teachers listening to Tool 😊I played violin from 3rd grade into my 20s. I wasn't half-bad. My HS teacher was sometimes called Mr. Raggy behind his back (I guess because he "ragged" on people). But everyone respected him. He was not at all personable, but always fair, never mean, and a very good orchestra teacher. I'm in my 50s, so if he's still alive, he'd be have to be at a bare minimum 80 now. After HS, I realized how good he was when I tried to join my private college orchestra and it was just a joke. I had thought every so often in my 20s if I should try to contact him and thank him for being such a great teacher. No internet back then. I never did. Just know that there are probably oodles of kids who never thanked you who are actually very thankful!

[@E-LawReacts]

So I did record an intro to this but I didn’t realize that it didn’t get edited in until after I posted and dumped the raw takes! 100% first time on this one. Thank you for sharing your experience, my hope is to be as impactful as Mr. Raggy!

[@wanparaph]

I'm not so sure they're following formal time signature changes. I think that's why you're having trouble pinning it down. They know their songs and they know the *flow* in each one obviously. I don't think they're thinking about formalities at all lol

[@ProsperoFinch]

Depending on how you feel the pulse and rhythm, the time signature is 5/4, 10/4, or 10/8 the entire way through, but with shifting accented subdivisions. Like, instead of feeling a straight 10/8, it feels like 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2 3…(repeat)

[@keysersose6728]

Nice reaction. Thank you for not pausing a bunch (though totally fine if you feel the need to speak and not talk over the music). I do have to ask why you edit so much from the part when you discuss at the end? It gives you an unnatural cadence. Perhaps try the next reaction and not cut so much of yourself talking. I would rather have a few ums than such heavy editing. Spiral out, no matter what!

[@E-LawReacts]

Thank you for the kind words! For the last part, hoo boy. There are lots of “uh”s and “um”s. I was also speed editing so I think some of the clipping was less necessary. I’ll keep that in mind for my next one!

[@allengator1914]

I think grown men with nose rings are weird dudes too.

[@VaraLaFey]

You did really well figuring out some of the timings if that was your first listen, or your first _study,_ I ought to say, because you cannot learn Tool by merely listening. So being as it's past time for _me_ to study this intro, I get.... 5/16, then 5/8, back to 5/16 on the lone guitar and bass/drums join in and vocals start in 5/4 over the 5/16 (1 bar vox = 5 bars instruments) and everyone holds this pattern until the two bars of big punches in 5/4. Then all instruments and vox stay in 5/4 until Saturn ascends and now my head hurts. Anyway, there's almost no 4/4 in the whole song, but the ONE isn't always where it seems to be, so now and then they might be truncating or adding a couple beats to a bar just to _put_ the ONE where they want it. Ow. Head. Ow.
