Swingin' on the Spiral with TOOL!!! | TOOL - Lateralus (REACTION)

[@patrickfuller2423]

Nice t shirt as well. Crash was fun.

[@TB-sp9jy]

Tool has been my favorite band for the last twenty years, upended only by Sleep Token last year. I'm glad you're checking them out, they are a cut above most.

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

You have good taste! i look forward to checking out more of their work!

[@aceofhearts37]

Haha you're right that Tool fans can get a little, uh... excited (to put it mildly) about the band. I haven't been on the Tool hype train in a while, but this is just a really f*cking good song tbh. The non-wall-of-text-spiritual-stuff explanation of this song is that they noticed some Fibonacci patters in the time signatures when they were composing it, and decided to run with it and make it part of the song. So there's lots of references to the Fibonacci sequence and spiral in both the rhythm and the lyrics. Basically, just as the Fibonacci sequence approaches the "perfect" golden ratio, we should strive to improve and keep going and work towards our perfection. I'm not really into the whole spirituality deal, but it's a pretty nice message regardless.

You need to listen to “The Pot”. I always think that’s a great song to start the journey with.

[@sarahpope8658]

Subscribed for more Tool!! Spiral out my friend!!

[@jaredmulconry]

The way 3s and 4s mix together at the end, and how much tension is built up to the final chord. It gets me every time. It's overwhelming.

[@justTas_]

Oh man, I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again. This is my favorite Tool album!🤘🏾(p.s., if you decide to react to Parabol/Parabola, I’d suggest listening/reacting to them back to back. 😁)

[@gewitterimdarm9078]

Perfect Reaction. Just feeling the moment and forgetting the camera. I had the same introduction to Tool as you with Guitar Hero and didnt like the songs back in the Day and today, theyre by far my Favourite Band of all Time. The best Thing is, the Songs get better and better with each time you listen to them!

[@jaredmulconry]

I remember exactly the experience of playing GH:WT back in the day and struggling to play Tool. In retrospect, those songs weren't the hardest songs they could have chosen. Anything not 4/4 was pretty tough for a lot of people, I think.

[@arimewillow4278]

Aww Tool is a trip!! ❤❤

[@NiamorH]

I haven't listened to everything they've done yet, but my favorites so far are: "The Grudge", "Schism", "Pneuma"... The live version of their earlier track "Sober" is also worth watching. I wanted to buy a ticket to see them live this summer but they are asking for, like, 200€, I'll pass...

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

You mention being "in the moment", that's part of the Tool journey, especially if you see them live. They don't allow filming or taking pictures at their concert and that's one reason, people shouldn't concentrate on their phones or cameras but enjoy the moment, forget about what's all around and just take it in. Cool reaction, keep going! Spiral out...

[@dm1763]

Watching people lock in on the rhythm they choose is now my favourite to watch because they’re all diff and all good. It’s like throwing multiple balls to a dog.. terrible analogy but, they’re not the radio. They’re overwhelming at first. Fun video! 😊

[@kylec1411]

Tool is awesome man. They have their own sound for sure. Intricate music. Especially the drummer but the whole bands dope. Descending and The grudge are my faves. Subscribing for more. Also you should check out Nightwish: Ghost love score live at wacken 2013. Cheers

[@l.a.native6921]

Starting your Tool journey with Lateralus is like a geologist starting a trip through North America at the Grand Canyon.

[@carltextor8184]

I mean, better than schism lol

[@qostka]

So many of Tool to be checked.. But the totem one you've just did. My suggestions for start would be: Culling Voices, The Pot, Parabol&Parabola (together), Invincible, Jambi, 46&2.. Ok, I need to hold my horses :D Anyway, you won't be disappointed listening to any of those :)

[@patrickfuller2423]

:57 -1:05 yeah, was a mistake but now, you lucky bastard, you get to hear all their stuff for the first time. of which I am incredibly jealous. Well done and welcome to the Team. I have been a fan since 95.

[@ToolFool987]

Welcome to the tool rabbit hole brother. I'm sure you will be bombarded with comments about the significance of the fibonacci sequence and golden ratio etc.to this song. There are videos dedicated to it. I just wanted to say what a great song to choose to start your journey. Spiral out Keep going

[@jeremiahzambrotta5580]

Welcome to the party my friend. Better late than never enjoy!!!!

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Merkaba off Salival

[@d0ublestr0ker0ll]

If you aren't an odd time sig guy, Tool is a great way to learn them. Listen to their songs enough and you will naturally pick them up.

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

I was hoping that going through Tool might help, based off their reputation 😊

[@zak2986]

"Fuck yeah, man" 😂🤘

[@guylewis477]

At 9:36 THAT CHANGE!!!

[@sarahpelosi4213]

This is so cool dude, I subscribed because of your sleep token journey, and now your going down the tool rabbit hole! They are my other favorite band! Enjoy the ride! 🤘🏻

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

I hoping the Tool journey will be as musically eye-opening as the Sleep Token journey was!

[@andrewj3398]

I’m here for the tool journey as well.

[@Myfartslinger]

@@BraindeadBreakdownI love both bands, but you’ll open that third eye with tool.

[@chriswebb7822]

What you describe in the 13:00 mark is exactly the key to listening to Tool in my opinion, stop counting and trying to find the rhythm, just let is wash over you and it'll find you!

[@alexasginsburg4361]

I am beyond words stoked that you are starting your Tool journey!!! They have so many layers, levels. They can be gritty, and mindblowing all at once. The their entire discography is truly something to behold, but if I could suggest Pushit from Aenima, its one hell of an adventure!

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

I am quite stoke about it myself! I think Tool are going to make me a better musician! (I hope)

[@peterfortysixtwo336]

Spiral out, keep going 🌀 🌀 🌀

[@BaddLuccChuck]

One of Tool’s gifts is fooling us into thinking different time signatures are “odd”. Their many talents include exploiting these signatures to challenge the perceived boundaries of contemporary, western music to help us better understand the value of music and its unlimited capacity for diversity and innovation.

[@theig298]

Yeah dude, I'm in for the journey. You won't regret listening to more Tool, and there are a whole lot of us. Not just Tool fans, I mean Tool fans who are obsessed with watching Tool reactions. I'm addicted, I think that's the first step? Admitting I have a problem? 😉 Spiral out, brother. Keep going 🌀

[@isnobodyreally102]

Knew u would love it

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

You were so right! 😊

[@biddygow]

What’s your favourite Tool song? Whatever song you’re listening to at the time. Nice reaction dude … Spiral out 🌀

[@BraindeadBreakdown]

That is certainly true for me at the moment! We will see if the theory stays true 😊

[@jastyle521]

46 & 2 should be next. Look into shadow work before you listen. Also, you really should read the lyrics. Great video. It was nice that you closed your eyes and when on the journey. Spiral out, you'll never know what on the other side.

[@DJMAERZ]

When you forget what the hell you were even doing.....🌀

[@heyskipj]

Conversely, math music critics with furled brows mock how this doesn't "meet" ir create the Fibonacci sequence or whatever. As if there ever was one. 🤓 Honestly, I could not care less. For me it's when all the crazy beats come together. That feels what nature's like. Chaos and harmony.

[@C0CKYp0ps]

😂 fair reaction.

[@BoolFalse]

no one told about the Fibonacci sequence here ?? :)

[@earthscorcher]

I promise I told him afterwards! Didn't want to influence his reaction to the music and take away from the whole by having him try to pinpoint it. Overthinking, overanalyzing, separate the body from the mind ❤️ he's gonna keep spiraling, promise that :)

[@woundsofthecrisis]

subbed for the crash T, and this song is my soul.....embrace the random, spiral out u bitches😉 🤣 cheers!

[@jesseturnip]

Welcome.

[@aaronwolf3587]

I enjoyed you enjoying the tool. Wait……. That got weird in a hurry. These 4 dudes are the truth. Won’t beat you over the head with what I think about everything. I just like the reaction and there’s plenty more where that came from which for me, definitely enriched my life. That is all ✌️

[@theawakener4360]

“Tool- The Pot” Next

[@R8drdave]

Jambi. The pot

[@chocolate-teapot]

Doesn't one feel sheepish?
