Welcome to the rabbit hole. Tool armys third eye watching you 😎

[@MyReallyCleverHandle]

Tool is the one and only band where I think you'd struggle to say that any single member could be replaced without drastically altering the sound and feel of the music. Everyone in the band has a distinctive sound/style that would be noticeable in its absence. Masters of their craft all.

[@pablozapata2100]

U dont understand. Greats. Are friends that made. Music. In garage

[@jonsmith3556]

makes you wonder what tool would sound like today had they not replaced Paul D'Amour with Justin Chancellor after Undertow.

[@854medic]

Disposition - Reflection - Triad will blow your mind

[@wybbert]

That thing Maynard sang at the start of the song, commonly written as ‘hey’ actually means water in Malay, written as ‘air’ but pronounced ‘aa-air’. Probably not a coincidence since the lyrics touches a lot on the destructive characteristic of water in large proportion.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Take one of the greatest guitarists of all time, one of the greatest bassists of all time, _absolutely_ one of the greatest drummers of all time, and one of the best metal vocalists and songwriters of all time, put them all together, and what you get is a band that is STILL somehow far greater than the sum of its parts. Tool is just above and apart from everything else. There is no substitute.

[@Canine77]

And lest I forget, the one and only King Crimson! Please check them out.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

Tool is probably the best rock band in recent history

[@Miller_Time]

*Definitely

[@hrldhns1]

Yes David!!! More Tool! Your reactions are seriously epic and really makes me love the music even more!

[@daxhogno9595]

Justin chancellor is so under rated. He carries most of their songs with most not knowing it.

[@alshurdom6917]

I don't think he, nor Tool, care about where they are rated, to be honest. Think about this, my friend...There is a "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," and Tool isn't in it...but Green Day, somehow, is. I mean...

To me one of the best rock song ever written! On second, third, forth... place are also Tool songs!!! 🤣🤟

[@Swollen_Goat]

Rosetta Stoned!!! Definitely one of the best TOOL songs In my opinion. Such a crazy ride and experience.

[@MorningKillsDawn]

But please with the "lost keys" section!! One of my all time favorites and in itself is such a journey

[@nicknick2903]

If TOOL was a sports team they would be undefeated in 30 years best band ever ever ever and ever all time!!!!!!!

[@johndorton2599]

Similar to yourself I have only recently listened to Tool and my god what have I been missing!

[@Lateralus138]

My mom named me Ian after Ian Anderson from Tull... I'm an enthusiast of both bands, of course... Nice reactions man. I've been listening to Tull since I was born (77), and Tool since Undertow, in an old underground record/skate shop back in the early 90's when that was a thing...

[@13lueBerryBluntz]

Another fantastic video in the Tool series David!! Aenima is pronounced with a soft "ah" sound, and it's a combination of two words. The latin "anima" translates to soul / life force (often used by Carl Jung who is referenced in 46&2 as well) and "enema", which I'm sure we're all familiar with hahahahaha. Essentially : shit out your soul. Very Tool if you ask me hahahaha :)

[@timfarrow1545]

Cleansing of the soul would be more accurate to be fair.

[@cormachayden1614]

When I think of Adam Jones, I don't think of fast, agile shredding... it's all about his control. Control of his instrument, control of the mood and attitude he's inspiring and control of my attention when I hear it. But that's true for all of them.

[@andrewrankin1921]

If Adam is busier on guitar it doesn’t leave the room for Danny Carey to shine.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Haunting tones 👍

You're just beginning your TOOL Journey. Wait until you get into the Lateralus album: Science, Psychology, psychedelic inspirations, polyrythms....so effing good!!!!

Love to hear your commentary on “Right In Two”, my favorite.

[@johngroom9243]

They played this song on the radio when it came out. I remember hearing it a lot in highschool on the radio. They definitely bleeped the harsh language though. Great reaction man!

[@Melliyel]

On most of their songs the vocals are mixed in with the band like that. I also think that Maynard stands more in the back during live performances to show that he is just one of the instruments. They do a great job at making every person and instrument equally important.

[@heavenwithin81]

I love this reaction. I love your passion, knowledge and vulnerability in your responses.

[@richtigersoan]

Vicarious is a great song by tool as well

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Bill Hicks standup album Arizona Bay was the inspiration for this song. Not Maynard's personal opinion, but Bill's.

Adam Jones is an amazing guitarist. He can shred, but he will actually say he isn't a good guitarist. Tool has the perfect balance in their songs. Even more so as they got older.

Hey Not Important, I just noticed we reached 60K subs, and it’s not quantity, it’s QUALITY SUBS!!!!

Don't know if they're entirely comparable, but I highly recommend checking out Rishloo (Feathergun or Scissorlips) and/or OSI (Radiologue) if you're not familiar. For me, they scratch similar itches as Tool does, and I find the songs very interesting

[@jimbojones8978]

Thanks for the producer information. Love getting new info about my fav band. I've always pronounced it EEne ma. But I could be wrong. There might be a video where one of the band members confirms it. lol.

[@jimbojones8978]

This is probably my favourite Tool song btw. This song is incredible.

[@jimbojones8978]

I love that you comment on the composition and arrangement of the song. I used to march in a drum corps and musically it feels like they could do a Tool song for Drum Corps International they're so good. I've recently come to start referring to Tool as composers than just musicians. And these are compositions, not songs. Best part for me is that their lyrics are always on par as well. Maynard doesn't play an instrument, so his voice IS his instrument, that's why you'll find he approaches each lyric a certain way that is purposeful and matches the music rather than overpower it. Except where emphasis is required of course, but even then it's purposeful.

[@jimbojones8978]

Not sure if anyone had mentioned that Danny is often referred to as "the octopus", so that tracks with you being on top of him playing drums at nearly all times. He is essentially a Drum Corps "battery" snare, tenor, bass line, and front orchestral "pit". He's unreal. Your references to Peart are especially on point. Being a Canadian I appreciate that.

[@jimbojones8978]

There are a lot of older bands your mentioning that I will have to look into more. Thanks.

[@OroraMonroe]

If you do the drum cam for Pneuma, you will see that Danny Carey is still banging those drums efficiently at age 59.. Dude is a machine.

[@MusicShed]

Did, done, check it out

[@codyalbright518]

As a resident of Arizona I can confirm, Maynard James Keenan speaks truth is this song.

[@AvrgLifterAvrgTrainer]

Hey there! Watched your previous videos and gotta say, I love music. And I also love the fact that you are bringing some light to the subject of music theory. However... There a song you need to hear, it's now considered "death metal " but look up "Soilders of Doomsday " by Winds of Plauge" you'll be glad to see that a pianist is the lead of the breakdown... here for you.

[@caseyrogers573]

I was 11 in 1996 and I remember my brother listening to this album and even though I wouldn’t really get into tool until my 20s I remember being affected by the dark beauty and intensity of this song. Amazing band.

[@OGT4204]

I was 12 in 96 and they opened the door for metal in my life, I didn’t understand the lyrics whatsoever but man did I love the music.

[@thisistheyear99]

Awesome stuff bud. Keep the Tool reactions coming. Can't wait for you to react to "Invincible", "Descending" and "7empest" off their new album. Cheers!

[@mattyoung6690]

On your last video I suggested "Farewell Mona Lisa" by the Dillinger Escape Plan. I think you'd also love "Parasitic Twins" although it's a departure from their typical sound. Soundgarden were major supporters of TDEP. They brought them on tour (TDEP were opening on the tour when Cornell took his life), Chris Cornell was close with TDEP's vocalist Greg Puciato, and Kim Thayil is friends with TDEP's guitarist and primary songwriter Ben Weinman.

[@ArmLessChief]

I would LOVE to see you react to some prog metal or tech metal. "Condemned to the Gallows" by Between the Buried and Me for prog metal, and "Fuego" or "Armed Strawberry" by Berried Alive for tech metal!

[@FlannelDaddyActual]

Also I dont see that anybody answered about the intro, but that is "YYZ" by rush, named after their local airport in canada. (Thanks dad for raising me right lol)

[@AdmiralFerret]

A great song to hear, to just close your eyes and listen, because there's no video for it.. is their live version of Push It, from their Salival album. It's an amazing journey

[@joni3524]

Would be really into seeing how you react on Make them suffer (Songs: Neverbloom, Erase me or fireworks). They’re making deathcore/metalcore, but in a very melodic way, always with piano, and they are combining a very dark brutal male voice with a very clear and bright female voice. And there’s so much in theses songs, how everything is working together. Would love to hear your professional view on this. Greetings from Germany 🤘🏻

[@mjolnir3504]

The great TOOL!!!! Please do: In Flames "the chosen pessimist"

Would listen to this early Monday mornings sitting on the train going to intern at a shitty music label in Manhattan just hating life at the time because this song definitely fit that kinda mood lol. Great song. Great band. And Bass player definitely inspired me too.

[@kimstelly9480]

Honestly, I can’t believe you missed them, either. I was at Lolapalooza in 1992 when they were there. MJK is a great artist. Vocals are always pushed back. Check out Pucsifer and A Perfect Circle. 🤷‍♀️

[@jkvinsland]

I have heard this one on the radio from time to time, and the edits aren't even that bad since Maynard is more or less whispering. Tool is actually pretty reserved with their swearing; this track might have the most in all of their discography. Fun fact: Adam creates all of their videos. He used to work for Stan Winston Studios before doing the music thing full-time (he was going to come back if it didn't work out) and worked on movies like Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.

[@ReagonL0L]

Adam Jones was a childhood friend of Tom Morello. He really specializes in very unique sounds and melodic solos. If I had to rank pure prowess on an instrument it HAS to be Danny, on par with Maynard's instrument.

[@dekadenser]

New to this channel! Always fun to follow other people's Tool journeys ;) You should check out Karnivool aswell, fantastic band!

[@flyingardilla143]

Well Fine! I guess I'll have to subscribe now.

[@MusicShed]

U betta

[@johnseward2934]

Tool is always a journey, and a unique one at that. There are so many amazing songs for you too choose from. If you want to stay in the Aenima album, I would suggest Eulogy or Third Eye (which is much more an experience than a song). The Lateralus album is, imo, their transcendent peak, something that belongs in the tier of albums with Dark Side of the Moon. From that album, every single song is phenomenal in its own way but I'd suggest starting with: The Grudge, Schism, Lateralus, and then take on the monster opus that is Disposition+Reflection+Triad combined

[@Ojinia84]

I second this disposition/reflection/triad Best of TOOL. I listen to those 3 everyday...its a must.

Really enjoyed your review, keep enjoying Tool! I second another vote for Nothing But Thieves, too - Connor's voice is great and the latest album is possibly their most interesting, though the song Broken Machine from album no. 2 is a favourite.

[@Snyderjj1]

[@cheriev3768]

When you do The Pot, do it live at the Download festival. There aren’t a lot of good lives of Tool since they throw people out for being on their phone but The Pot live at download is really recent and it’s awesome! That show was right before covid cuz I saw them in that tour. Maynard had on the same outfit for my show in New Orleans. Best experience ever, aside from Queen with Adam Lambert lol. The Pot is another in your face song, about hypocrites. It hit #1 and beat out pop hits. Great song.
