THE TOOL JOURNEY BEGINS! ~ TOOL - INTOLERANCE ~ [REACTION!]

[@MaddSpazz2000]

Ayy if you're going to do the chronological Tool journey, I'll be there for each and every video, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@HunterHarris]

Same here!

[@mikelary88]

As will I! Let’s go!

[@Skullzrapper]

Lets go! 🤘

[@jaredtrobinson]

yep... i'll watch all of them

[@jerredwayne8401]

Late but I'm catching up!

[@dominikschrader5930]

His vocals are like this on purpose, he doesn't want to sound "bigger" or "louder" than the instruments. He considers his voice an instrument.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

TOOL ARMY reporting for duty. You honestly won't find a bad song from these guys. Once in a lifetime band. SUBSCRIBED for the TOOL JOURNEY.

[@Skullzrapper]

Glad to have you along for the ride! 🔥🤘

[@PowderedToastMan420]

@@Skullzrapper you are going to have you mind blown. Amazing album art, hidden tracks, backward messages, and interludes. Who does that anymore. TOOL does that. ✌️

[@Korealignments]

I've been listening to tool for about 25 years, their music is never out of rotation on whatever device I listen on. Even after decades it still hits hard.

[@violinviolence]

When you were digging the lie, cheat and steal repetitions, I said to myself, just wait until he moves up that octave. The lower repetitions sustains power and the higher ones are that last peak push that pounds home satisfaction and release.

[@cerebralfailure8804]

I bought their Opiate EP the same time as I bought Undertow after seeing one of their videos on MTV back in 93, it is great as well, so you might want to check it out as well, and yes Danny was doing his thing on it as well

[@alpur214]

Definitely check out Opiate ^^^

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Unfortunately, I only recorded Sober on VHS from a chart show, and didn't buy the album. Which I really wish I had done.

[@HunterHarris]

Oh man, you're about to go down the rabbit hole and I'm here for it! Like someone else in the comments said, their earlier sound is a lot heavier & more aggressive but each newer album gets more spiritual & contemplative. The songs also get longer & more complex. What doesn't change is the raw skill on display by every band member + the impressive production quality! Spiral out!!

[@Skullzrapper]

That sounds perfect to me! The best way to mature with grace 🔥 I'll definitely be posting my Prison Sex reaction this week 💯

[@JP33zy]

Tool is awesome. Starting at the beginning is a great idea. Just don't stop now that you have started.

[@itsageyser]

FINALLY someone doing TOOL reactions from Undertow besides Sober..... THIS is where u should start

[@fudhater8592]

The earlier the catalog the more angry and raw they are; the more recent, the more spiritual and tribal

[@thepack1443]

I love your reactions.... TOOL will always and forever be my #1 band. All there songs rock the world

[@benjaminburris8982]

I'm doing it!! I watched all your videos and caught up to you at 10,000 days, and I'm starting over. You're the first reactor I've found doing it right. From the beginning!

[@nucl3arboNg]

Not sure if anyone pointed out to you as of yet but this is also original bassist Paul D'Amour. Justin took over about half way through AEnima.

[@veronica05250]

Subscribed for the TOOL discography. 🙌🏽

[@Skullzrapper]

Aye! Glad to have you 🤘

[@kentmains7763]

Paul's bass is just so nasty on this album, love it.

[@Ibdabadman]

Hell trip watching someone experience all these for the first time lol. Tool fans love this shit

[@robertjones4361]

My Favorite from Undertow.....I knew it the second I heard this, I loved this band and have for almost 30 years

[@frankspaan6160]

Can't wait for you to get to Salival! It's like being in an out of body experience!

[@dustinhouston7372]

You are in for one hell of a ride, a spiritual awakening. This is a rare moment when 4 virtuosos link up (post Paul)

[@nickdanger108]

I’ll subscribe for a chronological journey through the Tool catalog! Not just because it’s Tool but I really like your approach to the reactions on your channel

[@Skullzrapper]

I appreciate that! I could definitely see this band being one of my favs of all time if they keep this up 💯

[@DusteyeMC]

same :)

[@alfisdrake]

What to expect: - Good music, composed and performed by very talented people. - Some bizarre time signatures. - Lots of complex poly-rhythms. - Trippy videos (when available). - A great deal of fun. "Schism" from Lateralus is a good example of all of them.

[@adam78hb]

Would highly recommend going through each album from the beginning, you won’t regret it

[@lewismaddox4132]

When this came out we were all amazed at the mix of fury and seeming confusion in Maynard's voice. His ability to express genuine emotion untempered by the usual self-awareness was unparalleled. Still is. The first three songs, "Intolerance", "Prison Sex" and "Sober" were just eyebrow searing. They came out on fire and have never let up!

[@coachjc8841]

This song is soooo addictive 💯🔥🤘

[@kevinbrown9478]

Opiate album is where you should've started

[@johnnyb6067]

Opiate gets almost no love.

[@Spudz76]

It's not an album, it's an EP :)

[@MrDuanepalmer]

TOOL move the vocals all around the mix as if they were just another instrument. I know your a big fan of Maynard in APC, but know you'll hear another side of him.

[@Skullzrapper]

I'm here for it! 💯

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

I've been addicted to live music since 1967. The Tool & A.P.C. shows that I saw and shared with my 4 son's are some of the most memorable. I'm here for your journey. Peace.

[@Skullzrapper]

I usually don't care about going to live shows but TOOL/APC are an exception! Your kids are lucky to have a dad that takes them to concerts! Glad to have you for the journey! 💯

[@andrewj3398]

Great song to start with! Enjoy the journey. Subscribing to come along with. Their progression is insane.

[@voidwraithprime8521]

From the beginning is the best way to go...

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Here for your TOOL 🔧 journey! Others may have mentioned it but the Opiate EP is actually the start of their releases. When I saw them twice before COVID (Besides Pneuma) the was the best song performance.

[@curttriplett1784]

I bought this cassette the day it came out simply based on the cover art. I had no idea who they were, what they sounded like or how they would forever alter my life. Intolerance was my first song as I played it on a highway and my instant connection with the rage embedded in their music actually made me tear up on this very first listen of the very first song.

[@paull1438]

I love that you are doing this chronologically. The growth and journey of this band is fantastic. One thing to keep in mind, it was 13 years we waited for Fear Inoculum to finally be released. There was a LOT of anxiety about what 13 years without ANY new music would sound like. So when you approach Fear Inoculum, remember the anticipation we, the loyal Tool fans felt. They released the title track first and I personally think (even though you've done Pnuema drum cam), you need to put yourself into that headspace if you can of the anticipation and review the title track first. I, myself still regard it as the best track on the album. Perhaps because of the elation I felt when it was finally released and it was EPIC! Cheers mate. Welcome aboard.

[@ted1976hailspiralout]

I’m all in with your thinking, the Tool Army will follow & subscribe!!!

[@chrisgamble5843]

Subbed for the ride.....I'll Spiral out with ya!

[@Skullzrapper]

Hell yeah! 🤘

[@R.Nashoba]

You definitely have to listen to the Opiate EP... so raw and dynamic

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

I've loved since 1998, how the percussion is in rapid double-time

[@donrodztx]

Prepare yourself for the deepest most magnetic dive into oblivious ascension you've ever experienced.

[@FreqMod911]

I've subbed many YT'ers who were reacting to the entire tool discography. You give pretty good reactions tbh, sharing thoughts but not so many that you have to pause every 30 seconds. I'll watch every single tool reaction you put out. Prob more than once. Even if you don't react to every song do your soul a favor and listen to every song. Btw, whomever told you to start at their beginning was right on. Their evolution is part of the tool fans journey to enlightenment. Oh yeah, Danny Carey big brains thr fuck outa percussion instruments. I don't cater which song you listen to, he's a monster.

[@Skullzrapper]

I appreciate that man 💯 I'm definitely gonna do all of Undertow! If people come along for the ride, I'll keep making them. If not, I'll still listen to the rest of their stuff on my own! 🤘

[@antsara9218]

I'll follow you through your journey.

[@Skullzrapper]

Let's go!!! 🤘

[@charliemoss6379]

It's a great idea to go through the whole album song by song and start at the beginning! This is why tool is loved by so many people! I've had at least six copies of this album and I'm good with my stuff I don't waste.

[@ikemart5119]

i do like the idea of the chronological order to listen, i may be interested

[@icefacade]

I'm just over here watching others go on a Tool journey while I wait for my kids to get old enough to appreciate them.

[@minsiuh8960]

Subscribing just to enjoy your first time reactions to one of my favorite bands. Enjoy the rabbit hole and welcome to the tribe. Ogt from 92!

[@krisfyock5310]

Absolutely the best way to experience TOOL. Go back to the EP moving forward. And yep I'm subscribing and liking Spiral out sir

[@Skullzrapper]

[@Guweekly]

I forgot how good this track was.

[@rockdusted]

His vocals are mixed in like another instrument, replete with dynamics, rhythm, and changes in tone. It can be a little irritating sometimes, because you want to be hit by the lyrics, but the approach is compelling after some familiarity with their sound. Plus, because the lyrics are important, it makes you dive in to get them. Love these guys!

[@danwurm5843]

Subscribed! I can tell from your reaction that you instantly became a fan! When this first came out, they were unlike anything I'd ever heard before (I was 12 or 13 at the time) and I was obsessed. And fuck the haters (there's a lot of them out there), there has still never been anyone like them! Enjoy your journey, man...sure wish I could relive it! ✌️

[@Skullzrapper]

Appreciate the support bro! Yeah it's wild that something almost 30 years old can sound so innovative even today! 🔥

[@danwurm5843]

And FYI, as a non-hip hop head (although I certainly appreciate some of it) I've gotta say, I dig your sound! To my ears, the current phase of hip hop is boring and repetitive. Same beats, same cadences, not much to say if you can even understand what's being said. Your style is chill and refreshing.

[@Skullzrapper]

Thank you! Yeah I like to make music that is about something! My album has a bunch of different styles on it and has a narrative that reaches across each song! It's on most streaming platforms if you're interested in listening 💯 I appreciate the comment 🔥

[@danwurm5843]

No problem. Just thought it was a great idea to showcase yourself before your videos...get it out there. Man, I miss making music. Been a drummer for 30 years and sadly had to kind of give it up for my work schedule. I'll definitely check out more of your stuff, though. As long as you keep on chasing the Tool rabbit down it's hole. Can't wait for your next listen....Swamp Song!

[@Skullzrapper]

@@danwurm5843 Definitely don't give it up completely my dude! Play whenever you can, even if it's just for a little bit! It's good for the soul 💯 Oh and I'll definitely continue the Tool journey! The fact that this album isn't even considered their best has me excited 🔥

[@glsinsight]

that bloke gave you some fine advice

[@ryanford5320]

Just found your channel. I like the idea of going in order. Don't think anyone else has done that. Looks like I got some catching up to do! Lol

[@rayromero815]

I always just figured TOOL was always talking about drugs TOOL IS FOREVER

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

West-point motto

[@Youtubz12]

I've always seen "hiding" lyrics under the music as a way to force the listener to actually hear what a lyricist is trying to get through to the listener. Making it harder to listen to makes it easier to hear, if that makes sense.

[@Skullzrapper]

That's interesting! Personally I've never had a hard time with listening even with the vocals up front but I could see that working on some for sure 💯

[@stephenroby8498]

Please remember that this is Paul not Justin on the Bass. Also, the songs are timed for radio, as their battles grow with the label the songs get longer which makes their art better.

[@palaholic1889]

As a nearly 30 yr tool fan and a fan of several reaction channels I wish they all did it like this but opiate was before this so it's not really the beginning. Go to opiate.

[@tymega7680]

I love angry Maynard

[@johncarpenter3751]

Yeah, the lyrics are gonna be lost in the mix!! That is the intention with TOOL for the most part. There are a few songs that are the contrary, but for the most part it’s not what he says, it’s how he says it, on the first listen that is

[@13lueBerryBluntz]

I'm sure it's been said in the comments, but .... algorhythm? Opiate is Tool's first album. 1992 ;)

[@fergarising1972]

women's ability to be more tolerant, cooperative, and accepting, and empathetic derives from their high levels of oxytocin which is created through estrogen. Oxytocin acts like a neurotransmitter and even though the only time you hear about it on the medical side is to describe breastfeeding and pregnancy, psychologists would state that it has a very strong behavioral impact. I appreciate your channel!

[@Skullzrapper]

Very interesting! Appreciate that insight bro! And the support 🤘
