FIRST TIME HEARING TOOL - The Grudge (REACTION)

[@DJMAERZ]

Rewind and/or restart as much as you want. Whatever it takes to enhance your enjoyment of the song. It's like getting bonus TOOL and we LOVE bonus TOOL. 🌀♾️🌀

[@jamesdaves2169]

“One of those ones”…I like that 😎

[@mike1140]

Saw Tool.when they were touring the Lateralus album and they opened with the Grudge. It was one of the best concert experiences of my life.

[@StaxReacts]

Wow amazing!!!

[@rhiannonleejames7173]

I've been a Tool fan for over 32 years, they've been my favourite band for 32 years, I'm so glad you've found them.. * That 25 second scream Maynard does towards the end of the song tho.. 🤯🎶 #SPIRALOUT 🔧🎶🌀

[@convict6811]

Carrying a grudge is like you taking poison & expecting the other person to get sick. Love watchin the music wash over you & you come alive when it hits you. Nice work...keep on pimp!

[@StaxReacts]

Thank you

[@rockzilla-666-]

Of course i watch the whole video even if you run the song twice i can completly understand it when it comes to tool. Cool reaction and face expression to this banger

[@drdeviant8365]

👍 Exrta thumb up for the replay

[@StaxReacts]

Well thank you 🔥🙏

[@hyliandweeb]

As to your question at the end, I think sometimes we hear lyrics without really hearing, but our brain is completely locked in, and sometimes Tool just plain says what you need to hear. The whole of the Lateralus album resonates with me on a deep level, because I feel like it mirrors my mental health journey over the last few years and has allowed me to further reflect on where I am in my life spiritually and mentally and helped me strengthen not only my relationships around me, but my relationship with myself. I hold grudges against myself and every time I listen to this, I feel like I get to let go a little more. I know I over shared here, but seeing you get emotional kind of out of nowhere hit me too. I guess I say all that to say that this may be one of my all-time favorite reaction videos.

[@StaxReacts]

Wow man this comment made my day💙🙏

[@DJMAERZ]

I watched the whole thing twice because of your insta-replay

[@daneason2834]

Man!!!! Exactly the way the grudge makes me feel, you get emotional 😂 with some tool songs, and have no clue why. Incredible band!!

[@StaxReacts]

Right mannnnn

[@carlakane3313]

I like this double run thru format!!

[@StaxReacts]

Me too!!!!!

[@paranormal_pandemic]

I envy you. Wish I could hear TOOL for the first time again. Awesome band!

[@StaxReacts]

Rock on!

[@deadflight84]

Dunno I like singing along in the car filled with emotion

[@victorsalcido6896]

I love the second run through! The Grudge is my favorite song from Tool. I always get emotional at the end. 25 second scream reminds me of releasing your grudges. Freakin banger!

[@StaxReacts]

🙏🙏💙💙

[@mistameanor1]

Fam. This is tool. If you don’t feel it, you’re not listening. Love this response.

[@forgetaboutit1069]

June 2001, I walk into a FYE music store before my shift at The Cheesecake Factory and they had like 20 or so albums up on the wall with headphones to listen to them before you buy. I see the new Tool album and think the cover art is bizarre yet cool. I toss on the headphones and listen to The Grudge as the album opener. I proceeded to stand there and listen to this whole song thinking it was the best fucking thing I ever heard. Their preceding Aenima album is great but this was just a whole different level of a different kind of awesomeness. I listened to the song 3 times since I couldn’t pause or rewind. I walked in late to my shift because of this song! After I made enough money in tips, I ran over to the store to buy it so it couldn’t sell out. I couldn’t stop listening to it over and over. One of the best songs ever in my humble opinion and I love watching others react to it imagining myself the first time I heard it in that FYE store in 2001. Great reaction!

[@lucassmith1886]

That's awesome. I didn't listen to tool until around 05 or 06, where I had friends who did but I was stuck in my classic rock phase. So I went to the store, and found Lateralus solely based on the cover art as well, plus I had heard Schism before once or twice. And I listened to that whole album front to back every single day after school for probably months. And that started my TOOL obsession for quite a few years. I am now going back and revisiting everything again, and man, there is just something magical about this album. This has GOT to be in the top 3 best albums of all time for me if not number 1. And it also must be in the top 10 albums in general of all music ever created.

[@Soljarag5]

this is a top 5 tool song for me

[@crystalscolza1663]

I don't think I could do a top five I think at best I could do a rotating top 10.

[@michellez1414]

Do yourself a favor and listen to the album all the way through. Albums are curated, and they are brilliant at transitions. It's a transcendental experience.

[@StaxReacts]

Oh wait up...replay? My dude ✊🏼

[@StaxReacts]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Nicci-the-coach]

You quite literally have the BEST stank face. It makes it so fun to watch these reactions. The Grudge is a profoundly emotional song. Not everyone picks up on that. If you want to have your mind blown all over again, look into the symbolism behind Saturn ascending and what it has to do with spiritual evolution. It’s a VERY deep song. Keep spiraling out, friend 🌀

[@crob635]

Tool such a vibe.

[@bradleyeskine9501]

So good had to run it back instantly 🌀🤘🌀

Factsss

[@gbooby]

I've always felt The Grudge is every TOOL song wrapped up into a single serving. It contains elements and signature of each album on this track up to and including the scream

[@RosettaStoned462]

My husband thinks this is the most "Tool" song. As for me, I can't just choose one.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Saturn's cycle is about 27 years. Which can represent when people reach maturity. The Stone is not only something that weighs you down but is also a reference to the philosopher's stone from Alchemy which was sought to transmute metal, usually lead, into gold (as in leaden Grudges).

[@mariocartmichael6133]

My personal favorite Tool song. Fun fact- Danny Carey said this song is the hardest out of their discography to play. The most intense song. Rosetta Stoned and Ticks & Leeches also have really insane drums on them.

[@magau3698]

“Unable to forgive your Scarlett letterman”. A Scarlet Letterman is an adulteress. If you read deeply into the lyrics, you see its all about unfaithfulness. Saturn ascends, meaning every seven years of our life. Saturns makes a full circle, and every seven years, we shed the old self. Very humbling.

Word!

[@cuttingedgecomix]

Rare music that allows you to find something new with every listen. Somewhat seemingly supernatural with a fun fact to finish: Maynard & the rest of tool record their parts separately which I think means the three musicians work together and then Maynard puts the singing in after: Mix Well in The Studio.

[@jimmy_jarhead]

I respect your opinion, but every year that goes by I find myself liking Rage a lot less. Saw their last tour and it was mediocre at best. And it’s taken a long time but I’ve also come to realize that Adam Jones is a waaaaaay better guitar player than Tom Morello

[@kylec1411]

This song is fire. The lyrics resonate with me... Being a capricorn. lol not that i believe in astrology even but this song helped me through some addiction problems. When he keeps saying "let go let go let go let go let go" it really helped me let go of my ex dying and all the hurt i experienced in those times and the trauma i lived. Not saying im totally over all that.... but it definitely changed something in me. Thank you Tool for your great and insightful music. My favorite tool track by far. So glad to see this resonate with someone else on the same level as it did with me. Descending and H. both hold a special place in my heart too. Love your interpretation of the lyrics my friend. Youre quite insightful in your thoughts on them and i appreciate that especially on first listens. Respect.

[@alien_deadpool5957]

Saturn 🪐 comes around every 29-30 in your birth chart. Only 2-3 cycles in a life. It’s the karma u build in your life, we carry it to the next

[@alien_deadpool5957]

Your Saturn ascension is approximately 29 1/2 years to 30 years in your existence. The planet Saturn will meet you full circle at that point. at that point do you have any grudges or do you want to let this go? We only live through a couple Saturn 🪐 rises

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

[@scottdolby]

Tool is what gets me to watch reactioneers? You are one of a few that I will watch other stuff you put out (Beastie Boys - ahem). Sometimes it’s new to me (songs you react to), sometimes it’s discovering something new to me. As a point of reference, I was a FT DJ at a club (14 years) in my home state. One where the women aren’t always clothed, but if they are - they were customers. So I stopped discovering a lot of music since I no longer DJ’d (2006-ish). No comment of awesome for a 26+ second scream? Aarrgghh. BUT, like the hair all out and about - it’s a bonus. Learn To Swim (from AEnema)

[@StaxReacts]

Wow man I greatly appreciate that!!! I’ve already reacted to that!!!!
