TOOL - Flood (Audio)

[@brandenwolverton8798]

Can't believe they played this live!!! This is my favorite Tool song!!!

[@michaelbinbc]

I heard them play this live in a 300 seat club back in 1994. I was working the kitchen, so I didn't actually 'see' it, but the stage was 30 feet across from the kitchen doors, so it sounded f'ing amazing! But my favourite of the night was No Quarter. A rush of energy flowed from the tips of my toes to the top of my skull, and every hair on my body stood on end. Every time I've heard it since I get the same rush, bringing me right back to that night. F'ing electric! 😎

[@chrisccc22]

LOL LOL This is hands down my fave Tool tune. Last time I saw them they busted it out. I was floored. Jaw dropped and dislocated.

@@keenanehrhart3707 I’d have to say Ænima is my favorite if I were to choose just one.

I feel like Ænima is just the best well rounded album in the intensity of the vocals/instruments, and how good the song writing is.

Perhaps my ear is conditioned after getting to know how these songs sound like from the CD in the first place. The thing is this is KZbin. It is neither the canon to find such good audio in YT, nor to listen through good earphones or a proper sound system & speakers (obviously I'm not talking about expensive hi end but just decent equipment).

This whole album in retrospect is, in my opinion, their best! I think people are blinded by time signatures and what not in the last few releases, but this album just has a drive to it! It has an anger without being mean, it just bluntly calls out daily life issues/human conditions that effect us daily without getting "spiritual."

Just as Shakespeare contains a plethora of situations so corespondent to reality, Tool contains a range of emotional stimuli that allow us to utilize this artistic medium to learn about reality, as we are escaping from it. Safety is a place we create, by creating a feeling, and that feeling is only made by other humans. Tool is safety for me. I find my home nestled inside it’s red, blue, and black ribbons of silken spirals melodically pulsating to the rhythm of a 14 piece drum set played by the devil himself, while an angel of death sings songs of sorrow and rebirth.

Reminds me of the only best friend that I have ever had. His name was Mayfield. We weren't sure what to think of each other when we first met but we went to his house got stoned & listened to Undertow. I only knew him for 2 years but we actually went through a lot together. We met in small town Nebraska but said fuck that place, got a wild hair up our ass & decided to take a greyhound bus to Oregon stopping in Vegas for a couple nights. Had a blast in Vegas & ended up at Cougar Mountain right outside Eugene Oregon. We were absolutely dazzled & blown away by the majestic landscape, people, & drugs (coming from Nebraska). We were living out of a tent like a couple hippies in the mountains for the summer. Summer was about over & the weather was about to change. We didn't wanna go back so I talked him into hitching down the Pacific coast or "highway 1" to San Diego. I said I had seen some of it as a kid & he needs to experience it. This was back in '94-'95 mind you so hitching was still a thing. We had quite an adventure slowly going down the coast, stopping in San Jose, Santa Cruz, & Rosemead. It was the best & happiest time of my entire life, going on that adventure. We parted ways in San Diego & I went back home & he ended up going to Alaska to work on a fishing boat. He made enough money to get himself a trailer back home & got a girl & knocked her up. I saw him one other time when he was getting his trailer ready. We partied & reminisced about our trip. I ended up moving down to Arizona & I guess we kinda lost touch. About 6 months later I called my Mom & she had told me that he passed away. "Suicide by cop". It saddened me & kinda shocked me but I thought back to all the times we had joked about it & talked about how fucked up our lives were. To this day though I cant help but think it should have been me. He was young successful, was about to get married & have a baby. I'm 44. Never been married, never had kids, & I'm a complete fuck up & loser. The water came & took him & embraced him, took him to that place that he longed for & it left me there on that rock, with the sun beating down on me, punishing me. It should have been me....

Adam worshiping King Buzzo and Duane Denison...two of the most badass and underrated guitar players in Rock&Roll history.

@@vinyldiary6664 New Orleans sludge better

[@PaulMelgosa-cv5ld]

The bass guitar riffs from this song is the most intense wicked sound from all TOOL songs ! 🎧🎤

[@intraterrestrial5035]

flash flood warning popped up on my phone, needed a soundtrack, came here

[@justinpolk1331]

Nice to see an old man like you on here with me. 😀

[@bre53748]

Adam Jones has such an amazing guitar sound that is instantly recognisable.

[@jeremymullins1294]

easily in the top ten... I know that for sure.

[@vealslab7757]

This song is another tool masterpiece for sure

[@jorgevergara9392]

It's extraordinary the way everything Tool does musically is perfect.

[@bent718]

they opened with this at the secret sydney show in 2001, so much power live

[@johngumersell6936]

Every man will come to a place where they are destroyed and must start a new way of life to survive or drown. That's what this song is for me.

[@monkeywrench-u]

As an omniscient godlike figure with no physical features, thoughts, or feelings, TOOL is one of my all time favorites.

"You know, I really should thank you Jase...It's thanks to you, I now know that the value of life is simply optional. There is no point of friends and family. There's no point to anything really...except doing what you please."

[@undertow3461]

Misanthropic, anarchic, nihilist...but happy? No wonder i cant keep any realationships alive...

[@brianfleming6882]

I used to be obsessed with Tool. I'm obsessed now...but I used to be too.

[@jonathangwinn490]

My absolute favorite Tool albums are Undertow, Aenima, and Lateralus. Wasn't huge on Opiate bc of its sound quality/roughness. Gun to my head i HAVE TO pick a fave, I'd maybe say Ænima. Toss - up between Ænima and Undertow - bc they first blew my mind in the 90s and led me to here. I hope you all are looking inward as well as outward! Love to you!

[@juanvenegas7834]

I walk around like a fuckin man eating giant to the beginning of this beautiful song...

[@barrygreig4511]

Been off the opioids 9 months, and these lyrics hit HARD. Thought I was high Thought I was free I thought I was there Divine destiny I was wrong This changes everything

[@jaychen2000metal]

Underrated af

[@joshuaturner7343]

4 degrees into Flood is my favorite moment on this masterpiece of an album

[@Swim_Jonse]

To say this song is understated in how good it is in itself is an understatement. This is like your friend who likes The Downward Spiral but has really only heard Closer and Reptile while Ruiner sits there to be stumbled upon only by those who actually listen to the album and not just the hits. This is that for Tool. I know a number of people, Tool fans, who ignore or find this song unappealing on Undertow even still that I've slowly introduced to this and it rose to each one of their top five Tool tracks period. To make another analogy, it's someone finally getting why Hourglass is not only not annoying but is the best ignored track on Eat the Elephant.

[@Guillermohistoriador999]

Excelent!

[@kevinc5086]

Undertow is the most underrated TOOL album

[@biostarwilliams]

One of the best songs, IMO, of my life...and have listened to this for almost 30 yrs now. I find it hard to believe the lack of views of this great tune.

[@capconami]

Possibly the best tool song ever

[@thedarkforce9596]

I played this song while my toilet overflowed and flooded my bathroom

[@sokks5]

Nice

[@nerdycat9180]

Soon the water will come and claim what is mine...

[@sandmandealer4640]

Tool is soo f*cking cool, these guys are just in a completely different league

[@MFIepyon]

I used to rock the fuck out to this album and this song especially. I remember playing Diablo 1, the creepy intro in this song went so well with it lol. TOOL rules.

[@ristoramey6744]

they rule, be well my friend in tool!

[@christophermanos3480]

Tool family yes you get love you guys thanks.

[@markmccain1124]

This song always makes me feel like im breaking through to another side. Like my comfortable ground being shattered. Stepping into a crazy wave of spirituality

[@Guillermohistoriador999]

6:44 i love bassline

[@johnsummers9660]

That bass though...

[@pauliescott]

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be....... I was wrong, this changes everything. Heavy shit. Blew my mind back in 92. Still does
