TOOL "7empest" Reaction // Reacting To Every TOOL Song

[@urbanshamanproductions9092]

I know we are approaching the end of the TOOL journey, but stay calm as cookies and cream because there's other music to get into. I'll be doing some requests at my own pace, but I'm also just gonna do whatever the fuck I feel like and I doubt you're gonna like half of it, but it's my channel so fuck you! Just kidding, I love you, but seriously, shit is about to get strange, cringe, weird, experimental, sometimes even extremely conventionally pop, sometimes super awesome, and just about everything in between.

[@gapingschasm]

We appreciate you taking the Tool journey, and bringing us along with you :) Looking forward to see what else you dive into.

[@danielrivera1005]

Yup, glad you started from the beginning, it's been fun ! ..maybe some chevelle next??

[@benmason9755]

By far this really is Adam Jones' ABSOLUTE FINEST HOUR as a guitarist, thisis truly his musical MASTERPIECE. He may never be better than he is here.

[@b055123]

This is the way.

[@craigbillow]

A round of applause for our man, making it to the end of his journey 👏👏👏 Love these videos and I'll stay tuned for what comes next. Gonna plug "The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town" yet again. I would love to see you do a series on them. Their work is equally fascinating and I think you and the audience would get a lot out of them. Lots of textures and variety and experimentation. Love your channel. Keep it up! ✌️

[@tzDub92]

Still got mocking beat 🙃

[@seanikins2972]

"as long as it continues to evolve..." This song (to me) feels like the evolution of Tool's entire discography rolled up in one song. In the first section, Maynard's style sounds like opiate/undertow, then Aenima, etc... all the way to Fear Inoculum. It's 16 minutes of musical bliss.... JFC I love Tool....😆 ETA: "They just go full tool, rhythmic, mind fuck..." You described that PERFECTLY... I'm stealing that phrase...😂

[@corey6393]

Agreed, that is pretty much my take on it. So much familiarity, but just slightly different. This song is like a Tool encyclopedia.

[@jimjonesthreethousand6989]

I agree as well. It covers the styles of their entire catalog.

[@Egoblivion]

@@corey6393 *"Toolopedia" 🤗...😑

[@mateuszmayor10]

The Witness by Adam Jones. To end Tool discography. I knows it is not Tool track, but for me IT is.

[@NooDLES411911]

Nah it's a tool instrumental, much like most of 7empest.

[@KV-oq8qs]

I find it heartwarming that Danny Carey brought the fuckin heat in order to help his friend sell his guitar.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

@@KV-oq8qs The rhythm section brought major heat.

Took me a moment to understand your comment. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are not just a band! ❤❤❤they are our messengers

[@tonysoto8949]

Adam Jones is so underrated it’s sick. It’s nice to see him let loose the few times it was needed by a song. He usually plays to compliment the vocals and other instruments so he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He also killed it on Deseeding. Well he kills it in all songs like Hooker with a Penis and 46 &2. He’s no Dave Mustaine or Eddie Van Halen but you will not find another guitarist that sounds like Adam Jones, maybe only Tom Morello but you do find shredders and riffs like Mustaine and Eddie. Just my humble opinion

[@lelandbradford51]

funny because tom grew up with adam haha! but i totally agree adams sound is just on a different level.

[@jordang7717]

This whole Tool album was like, Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey with special guest Maynard.

[@lelandbradford51]

@@jordang7717 well i think maynard did his fair share on this album, i absolutely love that man! coming from a singer i know this album must of been hard to record at the time due to his vocals being at an all time low but he managed to pull some great stuff off in this album imo. But now that he has improved on his voice so much in 2019 and started practicing with a coach again i think once he and everyone else clears up from covid will be able to knock off one more amazing album with some even crazier vocals next time, i just know they can and that they will knockout one more album before hanging it up, fear incoulum was just a 13 year test!

[@jordang7717]

@@lelandbradford51 I hope Tool releases one more album. And I agree with you, Maynard will always be one of the most recognizable and amazingly unique voices in music. Compared to all the other albums, Maynard seemed to explicitly make it so he was more in the background than the rest. He really doesn’t sing that much on this album in comparison to the other releases. But that is what adds to Fear Inoculum being such a dense, ferocious and awesome album.

[@richardroberts957]

He's what i call a tone guitarist. Steph carpenter of deftones too. Sonic atmosphere and songs above flashy crap.

[@daniccrn]

Shout out to JC's bass work in this magnificent piece of art! 😍🥰👏🤟

[@mikegalifos7145]

Don't sleep on the bass. The foundation.

[@ReflectionTool637]

One of the GREAT things about never studying music is that you can listen to Tool and just appreciate the musicality - FULL STOP. Lucky to be alive in the time of Tool :)

[@flyinganchovy5267]

It was great following you on the Tool journey. Can’t wait till there’s more!!! 👊🏼

[@Psymbob]

The low rhythm guitar is actually the bass. Justin uses distortion with an EQ that makes it sound like a guitar often.

[@muttonmark]

That's actually a separate track that he is speaking of, you can still hear Justin in the mix with the dirty tone that he basically uses throughout the song. Adam plays the rhythm track separately (and Joe Barresi pan's it to the forefront so that it pops) and then Adam's solo is overdubbed into the mix. They do the same live with PA's placed to the mid-crowd mark, so that it almost sounds like surround sound. It's amazing.

[@MTH1217]

So bittersweet. What a journey to an ending with such an incredible song. Really enjoyed reliving the Tool catalog. Let’s start at the top and do it all again!!!

[@Anirudh0002]

Alternate title: "Give me a Signature Guitar already Gibson." Also definitely do react to 'The Witness' by Adam Jones Ft Justin and Danny (basically Tool without Maynard). It was made to introduce his Signature Guitar and is the last work from 'Tool' we have until now.

[@justindarnell3788]

Adam Jones has had a signature Gibson for years.

[@jaymzsutton]

great honest take on it mate (from Australia) loved watched you getting your mind blown.

[@jeremybriner8468]

14:38 Adam gets real dirty then goes all holy fucking shit! Dude is one of the guitar greats in Rock ‘N Roll history.

[@gavinmccracken1252]

I think you should definitely check out Lucid Planet's discography. Super underrated band and as a Tool fan I know you'll enjoy their music.

[@ginatrapp9676]

I love watching these reaction videos because its exciting to witness someone experience the awesomeness! ❤

[@justinmccln]

Alright, that was an awesome ride. Time for A Perfect Circle from beginning to end!!

[@patrick86806]

first off thanks for having fade ins and fade outs with your comments! my amp and speakers are thanking you too! cool reactions man! they became the kings of details! imagine playing this live!

[@kevinwassledah1153]

This entire series was great! Thanks for doing this!! Now that you're nearing the end of Tool's primary catalog do you have another artist in the queue? Would you take requests? If so, may I suggest Mike Patton (FNM, Mr Bungle, Mindo Cane, Tomahawk and the list goes on) Again, I appreciate the effort and quality of your production from end to end. Cheers!

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

Well, I watched the entire Tool reaction thingy. I think it’s really cool you did this and in all reasonability, I couldn’t have hoped for a more appreciative reaction. It was pretty awesome seeing you really connect and start to see why we in the Tool army are so apeshit about this band lol. Thanks man.

[@Master-rz1xi]

would be cool if you made a video summing up your tool journey with your thoughts, maybe favorite songs and stuff.

[@brendanperrett8248]

Awesome song played live

[@stephenlackey5852]

Time does not pass while you’re listening to Tool. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs. Love your channel

[@solxplosion1978]

FINALLY!!! Been waiting on you to hear this one, bro.

[@7thparabola]

It was a beautiful journey. Thank You!

[@carlosportillo2781]

Thanks for the fun ride! What a journey these last few months! Can't wait to see what other bands you react to. Great job!

[@floridabelle]

The crown jewel of Fear Inoculum in my opinion. I'm happy I was able to be here from your beginning up to now. I plan on sticking around to see what craziness you come up with next. Not into pop, or even Radiohead, but if it's a new artist other than those I'll try to listen. Great job!!

[@urbanshamanproductions9092]

I have ignored pop for years so I am intentionally going to do some, but there will be a lot more videos and a lot more variety so I’m sure you will like some of them... Pink Floyd, opeth, some metal, some alternative, some classic rock, some other stuff :)

[@ax5927]

Hey Florida, this is definitely the best track on this album, but I'm partial to their huge tracks, like third eye, Rosetta, reflection, wings....the last few minutes of 7empest feels so final like the last bend of tools long discography journey !

[@jmoon6277]

I suggest getting into Mike Patton next. His bands have opened up for Tool on many occassions. He's said to have the all time best vocal range. See Faith No More (least strange), Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, and a lot more

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

Gonna share this in the Tool group on FB. Should get more traffic even if someone else already did.

[@krystariche7895]

I don't know that A perfect circle warrants the entire discography exploration, but for sure "Mer de Noms" is an epic album with many different sounds that will take you on a journey. I believe that album took the span of about 10 years to write from what I read, and you can definitely tell him how well composed and sort of epic and climactic the songs are. Whatever you decide I'll be following you!

[@pwph8361]

so here we are at 2.35am saturday morning in Oz and finally watching you hear Tempest for the first time :) Fuck the 7, its a Tempest..... with many 7 within it. I usually watch these on wednesdays, but i didn't, kept putting it off, didnt know why.... kind heard 7empest enough for this year rah rah rah.... now had a few beers and several tokes and I am like 'now I know why I put it off.... for the weekend baby!!!!' I have enjoyed this whole journey with you, its been a minute. So many things are happening in this video that are resonating with me right now. Thank YOU, for taking the time to do this whole journey, good on you!! I have loved hearing your perspectives. I heard the Karma cookies and cream line so clear for the first time tonight, I was rethinking then you said what you said. And how you used the word 'collapse' made utter sense when you said it yet i hadn't thought verbalised it myself. So thank you, for taking the time to do what you have done. Gonna miss the Tool journey..... looking forward to seeing a) what people suggest and b) what you do :)

[@VivyTheHuntress]

One really fucking cool thing about the one interlude song in this album, "Litanie Contre Le Peur" is that you can play it at the beginning of every main song on the album (The ones over 10 minutes, Fear Inoculum, Pneuma, Invincible, Descending, Culling Voices) it will actually sync REALLY well. The only song that still works just not as well is "Invincible" itself, although I guess that kind of makes sense. It's kinda like how if you play the song "Faaip De Oiad" (The really weird alien ufo guy freaking out from Lateralus) at the the same time as "Lost Key's (Blame Hoffman)" it will also sync perfectly. Like it's fucking spooky, the ranting ends with the sound of a radio dying out at the EXACT moment the protagonist hears the nurse's voice, almost like that was the sound going on in his head and her voice brings him back to some form of lucidity. There's tons of crazy synchronization involved in the music of this band, one of the reasons I love it so much. So much thinking is put into their craft that it's honestly insane.

[@NathanSyrus]

Litanie Contre Le Peur is also a mirror image. It has the same melody when played backwards or forwards.

[@sobrietyisoverrated]

Been waiting on this one for months. Thanks for taking this journey. Enjoy your reactions. Gonna try to hang with you on the new stuff.

[@ralphmuller248]

It reminded me of Goldies Dragonfly from 1995, completely different of course, but same same, again: 16:00 minutes, complex rhythms going on and last not least something you may call an expressive guitar solo - thanks for the journey 🖖

[@carpenoctem5184]

The beat that puts you off is in an 8th i think, and it goes 1 2 1 1 3 (the tempest must be just that). It gives most people a hard time because they cant headbang to it, but once u get the hang of it its rather relaxing
