Tool - Stinkfist REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@gurglinghermits3043]

Liked and commented before the song started, take that.

[@hopey16]

Same here. We'll show him!

[@seanritchie91]

It's just earned respect good sir.

[@hopey16]

@@seanritchie91 I know, it was in jest.

[@seanritchie91]

@hopey16 I know man I'm with ya. That's why I also don't do what he says haha, because I respect his opinion whatever it is beforehand.

[@hopey16]

@@seanritchie91 gotcha. 🤘

[@heighleybaily8037]

What a belter of an album opener! When I first heard this I knew aenima wouldn't let me down

[@andygluehere8266]

Ahh, the memories, sets the tone for the whole album.

[@H46_2]

Wait every month for your Tool reactions. Nobody puts the analysis down like you do. Tool tracks are like 5 songs in one. They give so much to enjoy. Like Stinkfist a lot and agree about The Grudge, The best rock song I have ever heard.

[@LeeB-l6y]

Also, best album. The vibe oozes on this one. The imagery, the darker music/production and more aggressive vocals. Just the best.

[@PeteOliva]

Great rating! I'd probably declare it a 9.0 myself! In terms of sheer longevity, I would say it's one of my top 10. All these years later and it still sounds fresh and gets me moving when I hear it come on. You almost can't RESIST bobbing at least your head to it. So infectious. It's one of the most compact and concise songs they've ever created. Just pure great songwriting. Doing more with less. Interestingly enough, I'd probably say The Grudge is my all time favorite Tool song as well, followed super closely by Lateralus and Reflection. Hell, I guess I just love the Lateralus album so much.

[@psm0815]

This was a great reaction video. I watch a lot of these types of videos and most people don't break it down like you did. I'm a musician so I appreciate the breakdown of the time signatures. I would agree with you that The Grudge is my favorite Tool song with this being close behind.

[@thisistheyear99]

Great reaction and commentary as always David. Your ability to pick out details from the song is amazing. Really fun to watch. Cheers ✌🏻

[@alessandrafato5654]

One of my favourite!maybe in my top 5 too...but as someone said,probably the next songs by Tool,became your favourite one!keep going in your Tool's journey and have fun!good afternoon from Italy

[@onepunchflan3071]

When i first heard tool i started with undertow and once i was finished with that album i moved on to the next album aenima and the first track on the album was stinkfist. I realised they were changing their sound enormously and i fell in love with them even more. This is the bridge between early and tool and lateralus tool. Stinkfist really made me a strong fan of tool and is in my top 5 songs by them. Another great video david 👏

[@robriginio530]

I adore this song. One of the great album openers of all time. Great breakdown and analysis. I’m doing the clicks & the likes & the bippity boppity boos all day!

[@thewalkingbob1394]

Your roller coaster analogy with the 6/4, 6/4, 6/4, 7/4 section was perfect!

[@thepooz7205]

10:43 thanks for providing insight as to one way Tool makes time signature transitions not feel abrupt or forced

[@glenseivers8318]

Impressive work David. Another maynard masterpiece. His lyrics are unmatched

[@sarajade5111]

The "E and A" got me lol. I've spent a good amount of time counting out Tool songs myself.

[@stefaniebrauer128]

They closed with this song in Philly before the pandemic shut everything down. It was amazing!! Along with the entire concert. Love this one!!!!!

[@Liz-cmc313]

One of many excellent songs by TOOL 🔥🤘...agree with the score and is on my playlist.

[@hunterfitch5951]

David I'm such a rebel I gave you a thumbs up at the beginning of the video. You can't tell me what to do! 😂

[@tylerdurden8631]

I’ve watched a lot of your reactions and this is the best one I’ve seen. Great job breaking down how time signature changes can have intention and contribute to the feel of the song. This was my favorite Tool song growing up.

[@in_nirvana]

First. Love Tool and love your honesty! I’ll actually watch the video now

[@heyskipj]

?

[@davidcanty7903]

This was the very first Tool song as a teenager. "So what are they singing about?"

[@Leoelruski]

Same here! , I was a 16 year old from Spain … No way I could guess the meaning of this song , just liked the way it sounds 🤘🏽

[@crookedspinemusic]

Something gross probably based on the title and their reputation for having songs called “prison sex” and “hook*r with a p*nis.” Lmao

[@nobodynobody60]

Great Tool song. About as straight forward as one of their songs get.

[@inspectorquaalude714]

I'm counting that outro as 4/4 6/4 4/4 6/4 with Danny carrying the fills in the last 2 beats 🤷‍♂️

[@manda31103]

Have you reacted to any Silverchair? I recommend Emotion Sickness, Tomorrow, or Across the Night. Thanks 🤘

[@benjamindavis4974]

9.1/10 my new favourite Tool song

[@LeeB-l6y]

Danny plays the intro fwiw. If you listen to the end of the song it sounds like his normal percussion samples - they've just been extremely distorted.

[@Kastel92]

The last pre chorus can be also 3/4x2-4/4-3/4x2-4/4 I think, but I 'm still learning to count. This song seems easy but it has so many changes. Beautiful

[@thomasmalmin6194]

Still a great, grooving song, but my first impression was someone was trying to troll Dave, not knowing he's not a lyrics guy. Ha! 😂

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Love Tool as well, great review

[@clivehudson3956]

This the best tool song ever

[@IH-oo3le]

I gave thumbs up but eeeehh I don't know about best bro...lol

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Amazing

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Great

[@onepunchflan3071]

Fuck it stinkfist is 10/10 for me

[@rolandgamores146]

I miss your tool reaction,

[@terrahawk1977]

8.8 from me solid tool song

[@supervisedchaos]

Justin on bass he was introduced on Aenima after the first 2 albums... the only band member to have changed

[@connorlachs3871]

Except Paul was still on bass for 4 songs, this being one of them. The others being eulogy, H and pushit

[@whitejosh444]

It would not surprise me if this guy's hero growing up was count dankula from sesame Street...

[@wickman33]

go see them on tour.. and do a breakdown of their last song

[@ted1976hailspiralout]

🤘🏻🌀

[@theendistheend123]

The song is about, lets say, "sexual exploration." But in a general sense, I see it as "living life." "I don't want . I just need it. To breath. To feel. To know I'm alive."

[@chrisdriver7776]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@crookedspinemusic]

So what’s in your top 5 besides this one and The Grudge? I can’t be the only one who wants to know!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Lateralus, 46 &Two, and The Pot probably. An argument could be made for Schism as well.

[@crookedspinemusic]

@@THEDavidHeretic All good ones 🤙🏻

[@Gazza100786]

"I like it!" What movie is that from? I was born in 86 but i have no idea what it is 😅

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Robocop. The scene where Clarence shows up with the COBRA Assault Rifles.

[@Gazza100786]

@@THEDavidHeretic omg ofc it is!

[@tomwoods2589]

I got thrown by the TS in that chorus, couldn't get it for weeks. Took you three repeats 😄

[@patrickcain1455]

I think this song was after Prison Sex butt many dead braincells since I heard album

[@malhondize3898]

the effects by adam were intentional imo, the song title makes you unsettled and the effects do the same. kinda like the start of prison sex. uncomfortable subject and music too.

[@supervisedchaos]

This got like 8.5 - 8.8 from myself... nice score

[@JordanJohnson-rt3qf]

Hot take: pickups and speakers and the microphone shape tone more than the guitar and amp

[@joeyanez9338]

Danny staying in the pocket

[@musicismyfriend7919]

Music is so good it makes you forget how warped the lyrics are.

[@jameswatt5557]

I disagree with you. There was no 5/4. The second chorus went 6/4, 6/4, 6/4, 7/4, 4/4, 4/4, then into the 4/4 bridge. And the 6/4 4/4 at the end of the bridge started on the quiet part “but how can this mean anything to me…”

[@heyskipj]

Tough watching Dave process feedback. I don't think he's a fan.😄

[@aeroc-l1y]

Funny how all these "first time reactors" know the band member's names so well

[@THEDavidHeretic]

It took me doing about 20 Tool reactions to finally get the names and remember them. Even then, I sometimes struggle to remember Adam's name.
