THERES NO SPACE!! TOOL - Schism (Official Audio) | Reaction

[@michaelcarmack3204]

“No empty spaces” brother I’ve been a Tool fan for 30 years and that never dawned on me. I think you’ve unwrapped another layer I had never thought of. Awesome brother!

[@QuickeMart]

Same here, the second he said that it was a big "Wooooaah..." moment for me. That's such a perfect description.

[@hyliandweeb]

Not just no empty spaces, but everything is meaningful and purposeful. Even short rests/silences are jammed full of intent. There’s rarely any filler in Tool’s music and I absolutely love them for that. These reactions are instantly among my favorite, my man, keep going!

[@alyciaholloway2151]

No doubt…my mind melted when he said that🤯🫠genius🤘🏽

[@ju4408]

They give each other space. Play off each other to let each other shine. Any "one note solo" you think Adam playing is him bending a string to let Danny or Justin shine.

[@c0nleyc0mp]

When you listen to it the next hundred times or so you can start to hear how the lyrics reflect what the different instruments are literally doing at each part of the song. I'll let you discover those layers on your own, because that's part of the joy of listening to their music.

[@sweetleaf9668]

Yes, indeed. Once you know the lyrics to all their songs, you begin to understand Maynard. It is like knowing the language and trying to learn a language. 😂

[@thomasdaniell1514]

Truth!

[@Statelessradar]

Exactly, that is what a tool song is. Is like you get a ton of reuse value. And when you put the pieces all together it’s awesome.

[@c0nleyc0mp]

@@Statelessradar I hear the pieces fit.

[@briantrowbridge8134]

Omg I've heard it maybe 60 times...now I'm gonna look for this the next 40 listens

[@scottmayo7545]

You are a great TOOL reactor. Not everyone catches the genius but you hear it! Keep going. Keep with studio tracks and lyrics on the side. That works

[@thomasdaniell1514]

Agreed

[@shchorss]

this guy is fun to watch. Most people that do these kinds of videos show no emotion and no thought about the song outside of "yeah it's cool." He obviously also has a trained ear for music and it shows compared to other reaction channels

[@John_in_SoDak]

Totally agree

[@omnomnom1410]

I've seen a fair bit of reactions to Tool, but seeing this guy be absolutely awe struck by the music is really amazing

[@John_in_SoDak]

@@omnomnom1410 totally agree

[@fischeralmanza9314]

It is entertaining seeing someone else find the joy in listening to this band for the first time!

[@suzanneanderson6921]

Truth

[@thetalantonx]

10:50 - It wasn't until experiencing this again while watching this reaction that it more fully clicked: the reason every pocket is filled is because THE PIECES FIT. That's the whole message of the song, "I know the pieces fit." Awww yeee.

[@briantripoli5348]

Dude love that catch!!! Now that is a truly amazing comment thanks @thetalantonx

[@christiandonaldson2157]

I don’t understand why ppl tell listeners to not bother with the lyrics as if that’s the only right way to listen to Tool (or any band). People gravitate to different things that make up music, and for some people (myself included) the lyrics of a song can play a significant roll in how well I enjoy and connect with a song. Personally, it bothers me when reactors DON’T pay attention to the lyrics. All that to say, if you wanna read the lyrics while you listen, do it, and don’t let anyone tell you you’re listening to Tool “wrong”

[@sharilynbratton6476]

It bothers me too! When all a reactor talks about are the instruments and music and they totally ignore the lyrics it's like they're missing the meat in the sandwich with some bands whose lyrics are as fire and as meaningful as the music! Drives me crazy ha but maybe that's the writer and the Literature major in me!

[@bryanmack5410]

Man oh man, it sure is fun to watch someone who's not into rock discovering a band that does it better than 99% of others.

[@rob_pizzola]

This is one of the harder Tool songs to react to with all of the time signature changes. It will 100% grow on you with each additional listen and eventually the odd time signatures just become second nature. Such an incredible band.

[@cmd1007]

There are very few musical and lyrical geniuses in our lifetimes! Tool is definitely one of these blessings of our lifetime!

[@aaronwolf3587]

Pretty cool to think that out of all the times we could’ve been born into, we get to witness these guys. Sometimes dumb luck is good enough ✌️

[@hyzerbomb957]

Years ago, my wife and I went through a pretty rough time. Bad enough that most relationships would have ended going through what we went through. It was all caused by a lack of communication. It was also from strengthening our communication that we were able to come through it as a much stronger and closer couple. Communication is key to building and sustaining relationships, and this song is the soundtrack to it. Great reaction! You need to hear "Lateralus" or "the Grudge" next!

[@damienfallon8980]

"cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion" what a line. Song is about an issue in a relationship I think.

[@crowbear516]

Yes, and between brain hemispheres.

[@atlarsenal]

You can listen to Tool for years and still hear new sh*t.

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

I've been watching your Tool reactions since you started with 'The Pot'. It's beautiful to watch you get your head around something so new and unfamiliar to you. If you're a lyrics guy, ignore those saying you should just listen to the music. Maynard's lyrics are genius and integral to the music (just my opinion, you do you, Bro). Spiral Out. Keep Going.

[@michaelkvitz8976]

Out of all the Tool reaction vids I’ve seen you are number 1.. Genuine reactions, great job!

[@sweetleaf9668]

Yes, you can tell the emotions are real and he genuinely likes Tool. They have that affect.

[@sudsyvibes]

I saw Tool live in 2001 when they were touring for this album. 6 days after 9-11. That was an experience I’ll never forget!

[@sweetleaf9668]

Having been a fan since the beginning, it is so refreshing to see new fans and the emotions they are showing. Tool is, as you said, a level above, level 6, no others. They do the music first, then Maynard writes the lyrics. Greatest band ever. Tool Rules! Getting to see them with my son November 4th. His first concert, my bucket list complete. A dream come true. Subbed brother. Danny Carey is top notch, they all are. Invincible is killer and Descending too. Hell, all of their songs are bad ass.

[@paulhewitt7664]

Nothing better than experiencing a Tool live show with your child; something neither of you will ever forget! My son and I 1st saw them in 2019, and will be seeing them for a 3rd time this November :). Enjoy your show!

[@sweetleaf9668]

@paulhewitt7664 Thank you my friend. I can only imagine.

[@t00lh43]

Have my 15th T00L show coming up in November and I can honestly say that each show has been progressively better then the last!

[@JAMSKIS]

Welcome to the Tool Army. Enjoy the ride, spiral out.

[@TTTNMW]

All my friends were musicians when I was in high school. We would sit for hours and sing every word of Tool songs. The drummers would go crazy!!! Good memories.

[@laurabuer4714]

That was the 90's for me. 😉

[@willylee101]

I just love to see people falling in love with Tool. Have fun here.

[@EiriUesugiKun]

11:00 - "Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion (... between supposed lovers)" might be my favourite part of this song.

[@ToddFraud]

At the start, I think you thought there was 2 instruments when talking about rhe flip flop, but both sides were the bass. Then when you said "then it sounds like something else is playing the same thing overtop, that's the guitar. For most Tool songs, all you're hearing is the bass, guitar, and drums, which is part of their genius, sounds like there is a lot more than there actually is

[@heathern4308]

So much goes on in a Tool song. Love seeing music lovers faces when they hear the magic!!

[@MultiDevilmaster]

There are 47 time signature changes in that song. Its just mindblowing

[@heathern4308]

“Like listening to a painting” ❤I think we’re soulmates

[@N8oRMusic]

When people learn there are only 4 members in TOOL and they replicate all the sounds when playing live. Pretty cool!

[@Dowinohue]

“Felt like the music was crawling over my ears.” - Mugnify Reacts Great quote

[@johnbarrie447]

I've been hooked on Tool reaction videos lately, but you are by far the best KZbinr I've watched. So many people just focus on Maynard, or on Danny's drumming, and seem to miss the whole song, when what really makes Tool is that each song is an entire sonic landscape. That, and everyone focuses on the same one or two songs, and you really dived in. Tool is on tour right now and I hope they come somewhere near you.

[@EiriUesugiKun]

As a member of Tool Army I almost feel that it is my responsibility to check the Tool Reactions and support those (like @Mugnify Reacts here) who really seem to see the light and are not just "yeaht that was cool remember pateron and comment and hit the bell and what should I listen to next". :D

[@williammcmillan5953]

Tool is known as being the most complex music ever! When it comes to reverse patterns, switches and just overall quality of knowing how it all works together. The crazy part is he writes for three different bands, who are all still active. Beautiful stuff.

[@Smittyjts77]

Your reactions to tool are priceless. Way to really take it in. There’s nothing like tool. Great work my friend you have a new sub.

[@ivo001]

The Daney Carey live drum cam performance will explain the switch ups a bit. How he does it, is a mystery though.

[@kbmaclean]

He’s an alien octopus. There can’t be any other explanation

[@kbmaclean]

You must watch the Pneuma drum cam now, if you honestly thought that was special

[@tomouellette79]

This is one of my new favorite reactions! I think you're doing a great job of listening. Makes me so happy to watch someone discover Tool....and of course there are many reaction vids..but I think you are being genuine.. just changed my whole mood watching this,do more!

[@mosco2985]

This fan base will really support your channel. Keep going down the rabbit hole!

[@markwillis675]

TOOL doesn't make music, they make art. Keep spiraling out. 🌀☝️🇺🇲🤘

[@daveplummer4301]

Love seeing a new Tool fan being born. I think it's time for you to do the Danny Carey drum cam version of Pneuma. Spiral out 🌀

[@EiriUesugiKun]

16:30 - Remember, there is a part between rediscoverint and strenghtening our communitation: "Finding beauty in the dissonance". My interpretation, based on my own experiences and biases is that we need to learn to accept and understand our differences and THEN our communicaion can be strenghtened by that knowledge. But hey, Tool does what Tool does and we all try to make some sense into it. :D

[@kaitlyndoherty4821]

You should check out the live drum cam of their song ‘Pneuma’ Danny is a phenomenal drummer!

[@Ogt92]

He must!!

[@wolfwind1752]

Recommend listening to the studio version prior to the live drum to see just how absolutely consistent Danny Carey is.

[@aaronrice4607]

Dude is on a planet all his own.

[@darthvein3]

Whoever told you not to look at lyrics should be shot. Look, I love tool and have listened for many years. And I'll be the first to admit that the way tool is and they way they sing, you can't always understand what he is saying. I had listened to some songs for years without knowing what they were about until I decided to look up lyrics. In my opinion, it makes the music 10X more enjoyable when you know what they are talking about.

[@Belly_Beane]

I’ve been a casual Tool fan for years and I only started learning the lyrics through YT reactions that used lyric videos. I had no idea every song was so deep 🤯

[@aaronmueller1560]

More reactions should be like yours! The way you describe the thoughts you’re having and the way you work things out in real time is really cool (and adds something to the videos you watch, which is important). Love to see you enjoying this band as well! As far as the lyrics, I would personally say you are fine to look at them or pick up parts as you listen. Just don’t worry if you miss some and end up just listening to the instruments, because not only does TOOL fill your ears with the instruments and tend to mix the vocals a little lower so they blend into the rest, but the lyrics themselves can be a little complex to decipher. Basically just feel free to listen to whatever catches your interest and don’t worry as much about missing the lyrics (rather than avoiding them altogether)!

[@redvaporsrt1548]

Tool-decending/ with lyrics. Your welcome 😉

[@voidwraithprime8521]

Welcome. While there is no bad Tool song, realize you've been listening to the radio singles of a band that doesn't really make radio friendly music. Seriously, there are multiple masterpiece level songs in your future.

[@BenHowe-y7b]

Great reaction, 46&2 is a good one to do next. Any TOOL song is a good song to be fair.

[@sweetleaf9668]

My favorite song of all time.

[@BenHowe-y7b]

@@sweetleaf9668 Me too!!

[@johnpowers1343]

Danny doesnt play drum as the time keeper. He plays them as an instrument to be part of the music. Its pure genious

[@lightingthelatenight9942]

You want drum work? Check out Ticks and Leeches, intro was solely performed by Danny Carey of Tool on one drum set and you're gonna lose your shit when you hear it haha lyrics are fun too with some history behind em

[@Nicci-the-coach]

I agree with you: each tool song requires multiple listens. It’s so hard to capture the lyrics and react at the same time. I may only speak for myself but I’d rather watch someone react to the music than follow the lyrics. Keep going with Tool - we are here for the journey!

[@baconator1550]

4:11 as a musician and someone who has been listening to tool for over twenty years…. I love your description here… 😂 so great. Reminds me of the process I went through when I first started listening

[@QuickeMart]

Bro, you GET it. Theres not much I love more than seeing Tool fans being born, you are in for one hell of a ride. Can't wait to see your reactions to "Lateralus, The grudge, Vicarious, Pneuma... sooooo many songs.

[@aligurel7889]

The song starts with the bass guitar playing lead and the guitar playing a base line and then the bass and guitar switch roles. They are infamous for doing that

[@DaVe3112013]

Layers brother, tons of layers! Love the reaction.

[@voraxumbra1]

Keep making these vids man. Ive watched every single one so far, and I'll continue to. Youre a great reactor! Tool is my favorite band of all time. Edit: I vote for Pushit next. Top 5 Tool song for me, Id love to see what you thought about it.

[@kevinlents9545]

Oh heck yass!

[@mstorrboy]

I'm really impressed in how you picked up on the 'fullness' of the music.

[@kennethalbert4653]

It's a breakup song, not like an annoying girlfriend breakup, rather a marriage or serious long term relationship. He knows the pieces fit (because it was so good at the beginning) but then it crumbled and their communication diminished as the relationship started to fail accelerating the failure.

[@Calithilhel]

The reason the verse sounds so off but on beat like you say is because each bar of music alternates between having 5 beats and having 7 with other time signatures thrown in the chorus and bridges, this song is actual genius

[@CNCMatrix]

The meaning behind this song is the turmoil of a failing relationship. If you think about it that way the lyrics make perfect sense. "I know the pieces fit, cuz I watched them fall away"... anybody that's ever been in a failing relationship knows this feeling/thought process of trying to make it work or thinking we can make it work by "putting the pieces back together".

[@jedediahpelland]

THANK YOU SIR..... there are not to may reactors that get the message behind this song. It always makes me happy to see other people get it.

[@thejohnroxbury]

This is beautiful to watch. Thank you for your thoughtful reactions to the greatest band in history!

[@thetalantonx]

1:06 - That's again a rather good way of putting it, and it's all the more effective because of how complex and interwoven the different parts of it are. In mentalism magic (like Derren Brown) there's a type of hypnotic induction called a pattern interrupt. It crashes the mind by giving you something you know and getting you to start reacting to it and then switching it up and pulling you along. The opening of Tool songs also work like an induction to pull you out of your day to day mindset and into the moment, following like rats through the streets of Hamelin.

[@BenCoultryAfishall]

10:31 That really is some crazy shit how different pitches affect different parts of the body - it's a whole discipline within spirituality. example: I feel the section from around 13:00 to the end of the song on my throat, shoulders, and the upper part of my chest.

[@BenCoultryAfishall]

[@richpeltier9519]

Danny Carey is the current GOAT of rock drumming. He's a great jazz drummer too, has some side projects for fun ya know. The newest album Fear Innoculum is probably their best. Ive only had 4 years to study it so far, but it's ridiculously good. TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium. 🤘🧙‍♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

[@CousinMookie72]

There's been thousands upon thousands of songs about break-ups. This one tops the list for me. Awesome watching you enjoy it. Keep talking lyrics - Schism alternate def - separation between two or more people, be it brothers, friends, lovers, etc.

[@americanhwyflower]

I just watched all three of your Tool reactions and I'm here for more. With Tool, there is soooo much to discover and I feel like you are recognizing things in their tracks that Noone else has so far. Very enjoyable, I'm sticking around for this ride. #ToolArmy 🤘

[@kbrunson82]

There was also division amongst the band which the song could be alluding to.

This is honestly one of the best descriptions of their music I've ever heard. Really enjoying watching you go down this very deep rabbit hole!

You've got such a rewarding, rich, and complex journey in front of you with Tool's catalogue. I'd suggest The Grudge as your next song.

[@randyweiss2748]

The way I describe how Tool plays is they weave beats and the instruments and vocals in and out of each other then meet in union and break back apart again. It's like a tapestry of beats and vocals and rhythm.

Something to help you understand the lyrics, almost all Tool songs come from a place of personal growth. Recognize flaws in yourself, recognize the flaws of the world around you and do the work to grow and become a better person. By doing so, the world around you will become better too.
