THIS IS AMAZING! TOOL - Invincible REACTION

[@SteveReddington]

This is real music here guys! He said this!

[@manna6618]

As an ex-competitive MMA fighter (before it became a commercial enterprise, back in the Bloodsport days) this song tears a deep wound in my heart. It's like a journey into an arrogant believer's soul...age is a harsh bitch, one that can't be tamed nor contained. There comes a time we must understand our day has passed...a new generation of warrior who is in every way better than you has come. Rest in peace with all you have done and achieved, the good and the bad. Maynard's BBJ background shines thru in this masterpiece, I truly believe every ex-fighter or ex-forces person will get this song. Our time is done, let us rest in its successes and failures, and rejoice the new generation taking our places. X

[@sharileighretsof4790]

Heavy Shield Down 💔😭

[@luvL3e]

After a long absence from the "scene" and getting older we bcum sumwat fearful that we aren't as good as we once were. I imagine they felt a bit apprehensive if their music would still be relevant n as widely accepted? Their "shield" (the burdens of touring perhaps?) getting harder on their tired bones. I think no matter how good we are we all hv sum insecurities due to ego. But "we all" know they overcame the ego self. (46+2) lol. Yep 👍 spiral out brother... ❤

[@ATLAS031]

I am sure that I am not the first; but as a retired solider of 25yrs and 6 combat tours.......this is me. Completely. I Love this song, I cry every time I hear this. I can't even help it, it just happens. This goes straight into my being. It is almost spiritual. Grateful for their music. Fantastic reaction Brother! Thank you!

[@jr-xs9tf]

I broke the first time I heard this. Multiple major ortho reconstruction and organ surgeries complicated by neuropathy and getting harder to recover with every one at age 68. Significant daily pain while trying to keep the game face on for loved ones when you just wanna face plant and quit, but don't apparently have the quit gene in you. Knowing your wife can see the struggle and you can never thank her adequately for what she's been through with you. Only she and Jesus fully get it. Thanks for your service and keep pushing on. We got this.

[@FlatShoeLance]

Dude, I am so glad you found Tool. I will be watching the whole way. They are an amazing journey and I listen to them almost daily after hearing them for the first time 25+ years ago.

[@Gideonite]

Same, I listen to them everyday at least once a day.

[@eggstu]

This song seems to reflect Tool recognizing that they arent getting younger but something still drives them to be great even if they are getting long in tooth and soul.

[@robertjones4361]

Bingo ^^^^

[@psa06]

Beautifully said! Speaks to everyone at some level.

[@syntheticvocalist-p472]

Moved by will alone.

[@ilikemusak]

11000000000 percent. Like so much if maynard's lyrics, it is likely written for him personally, but in a way that multiple walks of life can relate to. Aging with a desire to continue pushing to succeed at the highest levels is such a, if not universal, widely desired concept. Came here to make the same comment and was happy to find yours at the top!

[@johnfarley4492]

Descending is even better Bro.

[@MaddSpazz2000]

Honestly it depends on my mood which is better lol. They're both magnum opus level songs

[@whitejosh444]

I second that

[@nhilge78]

Every Tool song is better than the other lol.

[@frankydominguez6581]

Descending is awesome but I beg to differ invincible is the best 😊

[@rmortimer81]

descending is okay, but not better.

[@markroberts8864]

Glad you are hanging in there with your channel, enjoying your reactions, journey and commentary.

[@scottthroop6208]

Man, this song hits home for me, 55 years old, still struggling to stay on top of my game...life, career, health, keeping up with the new generations. Its a battle, but cant give up! I think the lyrics refer to the aging of the band and the struggle to remain relevant and consequential after 30+ years in a world of changing music and younger generations. These guys were in their early 20's when they formed Tool. Now in their 50's like me! I get it.

[@sharileighretsof4790]

50 here. It is 😢very real.

[@robertdysonn]

This song is based on a Warrior‘s life however, this is a song that we all will feel in very intimate ways the older we get. I got into tool when I was 21 in 1993, but I’m now 50 and this song has very important meaning to me because it’s about, the mortality of life, we all must end, and it’s a difficult thing for everyone. At the age of 50 I start feeling more and more every year of the value of my life and how much less of it I now have then I once did all those years ago.

[@sharileighretsof4790]

You just wrote my life. 50 and have been on top. Now the armor”s wearing thin…. Heavy shield down. ❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@nauseantrock532]

Music warrior man

[@-TRIAD-]

And the 🛠️T⚙️⚙️L🛠️ Army adds yet another Warrior 😉👊🍻

[@TrishChiefFan]

So here for your Tool reactions....Your favorite Tool track will always be the next Tool track you experience....

[@markroberts8864]

Just to add more context to the lyrics, Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer \ looter in the early 1500's. He landed in America around what is today St Augustine FL. Besides searching for gold and riches, and is said to have been searching for the "mythical fountain of youth".

[@kennethcrenshaw8359]

Adrenochrome. Fountain of youth is a euphemism for children crying. TOOL released this right before the Plandemic. They changed their logo to a syringe for this album. They fuckin knew. This album was a warning. Psychopathy? Don't you dare point that at me.

[@beweyd]

By far the best bass solo ever! Justin is an outstanding bass player 🤟🏻

[@scottmayo7545]

I love you brother. One of my favorite songs because of my age and your face tells it all that you get it. Long in tooth and trying to stay relevant. You get TOOL.

[@haydenblack5648]

I love how you had a family member in mind when listening to the song. It made the song waaay more impactful. I was thinking of him also! Great video man

[@dealerservices3095]

Best drummer in the world

[@robertjones4361]

You get it! And they got you!!! TooL army forever....subbed!

[@nauseantrock532]

Yes buddy🔥🔨tool army❤️🎸

[@DJMAERZ]

So many reactors have discovered what TOOL reactions can do for their channel and its quite obvious they don't like/care/understand the music. Its even more obvious that you are not one of those, great job, I'll be watching! 🌀♾️🌀

[@justintorres502]

Bro if you ever get a chance to see them live, don't hesitate. It's mind blowing. You're one of the best Tool reactors out right now ✊🏽

[@m.ericwatson968]

Audience is totally enthralled too, everyone laser focused on the performance, having a cohesive experience, no other band like them live

[@gabrielmorse9306]

Right in Two is another great song that doesn’t get enough love. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s amazing.

[@TheWorldAccordingToArf]

Greetings from San Francisco. Tool has found us another gem. Nice to meet you.

[@michaelemery1497]

I'm 50;years old,We listened to Tooll in 92 ..,We said what is this....Ur a re a good dlude

[@bubbasboyngirl]

The smile says it's all! Tool will never disappoint!

[@sevenduster27]

Also, he is a high brown belt in jujitsu and trains Muay thai, very good friends, with Nate and Nick Diaz and Joe Rogan, etc. They are all aged warriors trying to stay relevant in the game 🔥

[@buckyhurford3424]

Maynard sings about how we are as humans brother and sisters . We all in this POT together

[@markroberts8864]

What I interpreted from the lyrics, sometimes younger generations tend to ignore or discount advice or input from older people? Thus the lyrics about trying to remain relevant. Also, Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer/looter, who landed on what is now St Augustine FL. As well as searching for gold and riches, supposedly he was also in search of the, "mystical fountain of youth".

[@kennethcrenshaw8359]

Adrenachrome. Harvested from tears. The fountain of youth was a play on the tears of children who had either been abused or were threatened with it. DeLeon was no hero.

[@xenonomy1258]

one of my favorites

[@egregg57]

You can tell by the look on your face....!! Its some good stuff!

[@m.ericwatson968]

Was driving through S. Dakota listening to this album shortly after it came out, between Sioux City for 300 miles until you get to the Badlands and Wall City near Rapid City with this song playing it could only make me think of one thing...there were once many hundreds of thousands of people there, and not so long ago either, and millions of bison, as far as the eye could see...now next to nothing, profound barely says it; Tool are an experience, just incredible songwriting; wait until you get to 7empest, holy smokes what a track!

[@matthewkolp993]

I agree with starting at Opiate and proceed through their whole discography. You get it, brother...

[@theresadaly3762]

Thank you for this reaction to a nice song. Warriors still want to stay and live for their older years. Good to be young at heart and in your mind too. It helps as you get tired faster when older. Struggle to remain active as long as you can. Your speed might slow down, but continue moving forward in this race we call life. One step and one day at a time to achieve your goals.

[@mitchellclark3070]

Warrior!

[@anniken325]

Loved it bro... gonna watch all your tool reactions!

[@carthuscrass2343]

Welcome to the Tool Army. We see Tool, we subscribe and like.

[@randomsasquatchwithwifi4090]

Omg...I would sooo be here for a full album reaction of Tool! I can't tell you how excited I was to see that you reacted to this!

[@mitchellclark3070]

I Second this ^

[@RallyBud]

You are inspiring to listen to and I enjoy your reactions.

[@jon-jacobdeal3164]

Really enjoying your thoughtful journey into Tool so far. This album really grew on me on repeated listenings. Super excited to see you dissect "Descending" and "Pneuma", my two favorites from this release.

[@CYRUS363]

Hoping he does the live version on Danny's drumcam. This album grew on me as well, though I still say, for me, it's my least fave album from them, was hoping it would have had more songs. But that said, Invincible may be my fave song from them, and that's not an easy grab for top song....but no other song made me cry 1st time I heard it.

[@jon-jacobdeal3164]

@@CYRUS363 As a drummer myself, who has long been inspired and influenced by Danny's style, I still think the first listen of Pneuma should be the album version. Everyone on YT seems to react to the drumcam version. While it's amazing to witness such a skilled musician so fully in his element, I think reactors are missing out on the maximum impact of the album version's calculated craftsmanship.

[@CYRUS363]

@@jon-jacobdeal3164 Yeah you're probably right. Funny I didn't even get the album until 2 years after it came out, and had only heard/seen the live version. When I actually heard it on the album, I hated it, as it sounded so different to me. So ya, he should listen to that 1st.

[@PongGod]

HELL YEAH! Descending and Pneuma might be my two favorite songs ever. Just incredible stuff!

[@LTon-vh6tx]

This song is obviously a symphony...

[@whisperienced]

Now that you've fallen into the 90s rock rabbit hole you may never get out

[@ckunderck7318]

We are all little warriors in the battle called life

[@bcoslew]

Subbed for the Tool journey. Loving your reactions

[@larryh.5229]

Yessir, Long in the tooth is meaning "getting older".

[@bigdaddypiggy]

I’ve been a Tool fan since 93 & I really enjoy watching people discover them & “gettin it” 🖤🥶

[@garya7893]

Love this one and being 59 i feel it as well

[@stephenlackey5852]

With fewer years forward than behind, this song has more relevance every day.

[@sharilynbratton6476]

Descending is my fave off this album, the music takes me to another level and the lyrics warn us to arm ourselves not with guns but for the fight to save our planet and our entire species from all the destruction we've caused, both to the environment and the earth and to ourselves as conscious beings who can and must do better. That's my take on it anyway!

[@TheGuertzberg]

And it’s the right take! 👌

[@mnnc6742]

This tour kicked my ass…….2/22/22…..DC

[@v8Buster87]

led zeppelin and tool are my favorite bands of all time. They speak to my soul. Their music understands me.. I don't know or care if I understand their music lol.

[@Maujoe55]

Hard to compare Tool to anybody but I'm older and they remind me of one of my favorite band from the 70's Jethro Tull. 🤘

[@yotaman2112]

I’ll lead you on to the song DECENDING. The intro is you starting out in the depth of an ocean and the sound takes you to the coming out of the water and you’re now at a beach or at most, you’ve raised out of the water then it’ll take you on a journey. Yeah. DECENDING and TEMPEST will suck you in deeper.

[@jamesdaves2169]

I really enjoy your reviews/reactions whatever they call it. I see the thoughts that the music creates for you, just like me. The middle section of this song is so cool.

[@antimatter7683]

Welcome to the family!

[@moon_pan_]

Esta canción trata sobre el camino del guerrero y el recuerdo de si mismo;estar en el momento

[@shanefritts8922]

Absolute banger!! This one if my faves, glad you liked it and great reaction, continue spiralling out man!!🤘🌀😎🌀🤘 Just a lyrical fyi for those that dont know, Ponce Deleon was a historical explorer who searched for The Fountain of Youth😎 I love these lyrics!!😎

[@rufustherat1794]

The first to I listened to this album I didn’t really care for it but it gets better every time I listen to it

[@kylec1411]

This song is tasty for the eara ❤ this song speaks to me The drum and bass is primal calling to the roots of the soul or spirit. Love seeing u think on the words. The chunky guitar riffs always make me smile too cuz i get lost in the sounds of this one.

[@rachellcarpenterr]

The really great part is that you still have a ton to look forward to. The Holy Trinity comes to mind.

[@sevenduster27]

Thank you for this! Real talk, Every time I train Muay Thai/MMA or jujitsu, I try to have this song is always playing in the background🔥 42 years old, trying to stay relevant in combat sports but I know I’m not what I used to be. Always training with past injuries. It’s a hard realization that my “armor is wearing thin”. Oh and my 9 year trains as well and this is his favorite song right now🔥 Cheer’s from Texas brother 🤙OSS

[@tomwiththeweather247]

Tool

[@ERIJAVMONHER]

i n v i n c i b l e

[@skookumyeah1860]

Yesssssss😎

[@Ketchupsauce44]

Feeling time bearing down

[@markroberts8864]

Sorry for adding another comment, but the average age of TOOL's band members is about 60 years old.....I think that's amazing!

[@aaroncole3941]

A masterpiece indeed

[@ev6808]

Have to recommend Right in two, vicarious and aenema . 🤘

[@timhanna5363]

Do it!! Full album reaction! Start with the Aenima though, then Lateralus, then 10,000 days so you can have the Fear Inoculum cherry on top!

[@dangusrangus]

Let's break him boys.... third eye salvial live

[@dubbleplusgood]

Glad you're enjoying the journey I've been on since 1993 :) Absolutely no need to do this, but if you decide to listen to the entire CD, I might recommend playing the tracks in reverse order. I honestly believe it connects better that way although the original set is great too.

[@jeffnickel4648]

Spiral out, amigo. Spiral out.

[@layedlow720]

🌀

[@pauldavis2535]

👍

[@Kingsryche]

A few TOOL songs in now, it is time to throw in the Danny Carey drum cam reaction.

[@chriswebb7822]

This is Maynard singing about Maynard...

[@idonotweet]

Try Descending or Pneuma, then go to Parabol/Parabola, Lateralus, Reflection, Triad.

[@nauseantrock532]

Sooo fuckin rad

[@ejgardner81]

❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🌀🌀🌀

[@governmentflu81]

Long in the tooth is a long age but maybe also long in knowledge.

[@jamesnewman9547]

Spiral Out!

[@VanillaGorilla541]

Descending and Opiate²

[@nicknick2903]

I gotta agree with the comment below me,Descending might be the greatest song ever written, Just my opinion.😊

[@Trish150655]

🌀👊🏻❤️🌀👊🏻❤️

[@markroberts8864]

Definitely listen to the entire album JB.

[@thisistheyear99]

🔥🔥🤘🏼👁🌀🌀🌀

[@michaelemery1497]

The bass is nasty!!Edie Van Halen loved Justin..Eddie was the best!!

[@diegofiorillo6412]

Descending, then “H”

[@nhilge78]

Just wait until you get to 7empest my man.

[@quintenchen8252]

You’ll make it to pneuma drum cam reaction and your channel will double over night possibly!!!! 😂

[@LBGambit]

Do 46 & 2, you wont regret it!!

[@lba7238]

Puscifer Autumn is painfully beautiful and nostalgic. It's about holding on to something that's already dead.

[@vee985]

I will quit fighting when I die... maybe.

[@BoolFalse]

please let the Fear Inoculum album songs for the future.. that's their final artwork.. just try to keep the chronology somehow.. anyway like your reacts.. spiral out !!

[@olafm2416]

...we all should not forget to mention a couple more names here ......Joe Barresi, Mat Mitchell and Bob Ludwig ..... also 3 did their part perfectly .... and for me they're part of the story.....TOOL ARMY!!!

[@biddygow]

Got to see them play this live in Dublin Ireland back in 2022. There is a no camera policy for the gig but the last song , Invincible, cameras were allowed out to film. I had to do it. I had to film it. It was amazing. It’s about the band getting older but still being warriors but I’m sure it’s about us all getting older but still marching on. 🌀 out

[@tomkeane8545]

Was there too, truly amazing.

[@michaelemery1497]

Danny is the best!! Neil Peart also..I know musiic

[@olafm2416]

PARABOL + PARABOLA ( don´t dare to separate the 2 ) along with all the rest .......it makes almost no sense to recommend any track..... TOOL is a journey

[@garya7893]

I think you are ready for Tempest maybe

[@sarahpope8658]

Would love a full album reaction! Definitely here for it!

[@theig298]

Do the full album! I'd be loving that. Fantastic reaction, keep them coming. 🌀And i'm not sure it's my headphones or your settings but you really need to get Adams guitar louder somehow. You're missing half of the track without that beautiful tone up louder. Killer reaction, bloke 🤜🤛

[@calvingreen5202]

You should do a full album reaction!!!!!!! It's AWESOME...
