Tool | Jambi | Reaction | 10,000 Days Album | They Took Me On The Journey Again

[@kevorev]

Don't be scared. This is a song about human connection and love.

[@timfarrow1545]

Jambi drop.... Wins.... Fatality... Flawless Victory

[@50NewEyes]

Lol 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@campbell1469]

Dude I love seeing people go down the tool rabbit hole for the first time, keep it going you'll love every second!!

[@franciscoramirez4179]

Ohhhhh you are going into the domain of one of the greatest rock bands of our times dude! Good choice! Tool is the sht!!👌

[@footnotedrummer]

That effect that Adam is using on his guitar during the drop is called a talk box. It's tube that is inserted in the guitar players mouth and he adjusts the tone of the guitar via manipulating the inside of his mouth. Peter Frampton is the guitar player who made those famous.

[@miketraceur8643]

"Right in two" next please :)

[@robertdysonn]

I’ve been with these guys since 1993, the best ever. All four of these men are masters of their trade and together they make some absolutely mind blowing music.

[@GrimrDirge]

Jambi is generally believed to be about and for Maynard's son, Devo.

[@Interionisim]

I always thought it was about his mom, like 10,000 days and Wings for Marie

[@GrimrDirge]

@@Interionisim He sings about his worldly success, "but you changed that all for me" is one of the hints that this is someone who came along in his adult life

[@WookieWarriorz]

@@GrimrDirge you confusing jambi with H both are about his family but jambi is more about having achieved success but willing to give it up for family where as H is directly about the birth of his son changing him to be a better person.

[@MegaGhool]

This is one of my favorite TOOL song musically and lyrically AMAZING.

[@alittleaccurate3080]

Lateralus by Tool! Do a basic research on how the song was made and the Fibonacci sequence and how it works with the lyrics. You’ll be blown away dude. They’re the goats of creativity

[@timfarrow1545]

If im not mistaken that effect you hear durung the jambi drop is a talkbox which adam uses aling with his silverburst to create that epic sound

[@Andrew46_2]

This it's deff a guitar and talk box

[@gary2kr1]

I agree brother. They are different. Tool unites us

[@50NewEyes]

It’s a guitar with a voice box....you put a tube in your mouth and move your mouth to get different effects while playing the guitar...the BEST use in a song is Peter Framptons song do you feel like we do....it’s a must listen...

[@youtubebannedme4207]

Its an instrument and a voice. Its a talk bix foe a guitar. They opened with this.when i seen them and it was incredible

[@thegoatchild3545]

"They're my getaway when I can't get away". That's profound, brother. And truer words were never spoken. Cheers! 👍👍

[@tonysoto8949]

JAMBI is the name of the Genie in the Pee Wee Herman tv show. That’s why Maynard references “wishing” throughout the song. The is about the birth of his son Devo and how scared he was about becoming a father for the first time. And also the state of the world he was bringing him into. Was he going to be a good father but he was willing to give everything up for his son.

[@alaskadurf1918]

Brother, Tool Army welcomes all! Nooooo going back now.

[@iancollins65]

Maynard is definitely a unique voice. I love it so much. He has a way of being powerful without sounding like he’s straining. He also shows a very different side of himself in his other band Puscifer.

[@semajidoe]

The sound effect is called a VOCODER, or "talk box". its tied to the guitar and powered by talking through a tube. Same thing Peter Frampton used for his hit "Show Me the Way"

[@jasoneaheart6437]

Listen to the entire Lateralus album. Possibly the best album of all time. Every track is album is out of this world.

[@jakecameron2976]

I believe this song is about conquering your dreams while staying true to yourself and not becoming a sell out.

[@yeahright1972]

All of their songs are great on acid, shrooms, or any other psychedelic you would like. Changed my mentality growing up to where I was a superficial asshole like most people end up being. They made me think about things on a whole other level. Glad you are back on the Tool experience.

[@roblanthier1996]

Watch Danny (the drummer) play Pneuma if you really want you mind blown. Not only is it a great song, but you finally realize Danny only has two arms lol

[@harrymanback8933]

This song is about what matters None of his power and money was as important as being grounded and centered and he would wish it all away to protect that

[@mrb702]

The guitar effect is called a Talkbox. I think it works by sending the guitar sound up through a tube to the guitar players mouth. Then the sound is varied with the guitar players mouth. This sound is then sent down through the mic. I could be wrong about this.

[@Ogt92]

Loved your reaction! #Toolarmy..

[@mattboselli1099]

All I can say is welcome to Tool this is a band that is not just a band this is a way of life

[@newsbuster292]

You're the best Tool reactor man. Geniune, knowledable, descriptive, original and funny.

[@Charon241]

Well spotted on Adam's use of a talkbox in the guitar solo.

[@DWish808]

Watching all these videos in a row makes me laugh with all the different intros. I know I recommended Lateralus and you gave me the link, and I watched it, but I don't think you knew that the timing of all the band members was 100% based on the Fibonacci Sequence. That's what I was requesting... listen to it again knowing that info.

[@nathan2000100]

I interpret the song to be about human struggle (addiction, selfishness, lust, etc sin). With the line "two become one" sounds like man and wife (rather, a couple) becoming one in unity... "Divided I'm withering away" ie: Love, will save us all. 💞

[@flyinganchovy5267]

Great reaction man!

[@DaUnforgiven1]

His other band “a perfect circle had a song of a much different tone about her religious beliefs. Song was written shortly after her diagnosis. Songs name is Judith. His mother is Judith Marie

[@kbone7913]

PHRYGIAN scale is a middle eastern guitar scale that Tool uses frequently.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Amazing 🔥

[@alshurdom6917]

This is why I love Maynard. I see you pondering his ethos...his meaning. I love it. The way I interpret this song is like this...this is a song to his mother. Judith Marie, his mom, was/is a driving force in his life. She passed away. Hence, the title of the album. 10,000 Days is how long she lived after a life altering event. She died prior to this album's release. The beg like a hooker...all the line's in the beginning of the song "feast like a Sultan I do..." is all about his rock star status. Girls, money...and I'm sure--drugs, because why not? Yet, he would wish it all away if he thought tomorrow would take her away. Meaning, he'd give it all up for one more day with his mom. Beautiful, honest...Maynard. For my money, he's the best lyricist ever...EVER...and it's not even close.

[@crystalscolza1663]

The voice instrument is Adam and a talky box attatched to his guitar..Peter frampton and bon Jovi are known for that too

[@gabrielascencao8729]

Tool Holy trinity You must listen to all 3 as a pair though ,hence why it's called the holy trinity

[@PongGod]

Disposition -> Reflection -> Triad... Reflection is just out of this world good. I've been hooked on that one over the past few months and just can't get enough of it.

[@slantz49]

@@PongGod reflection is my second favorite song ..after culling voices

[@Awprod2000]

@@slantz49 You must like your TOOL dark then :)

[@slantz49]

If you did not know the band lays the track ..and once solid then and only then does MAYNARD come in and write the lyrics...!

[@nickavenoso7851]

Which is actually a real hard thing to do, because you have to try to be on time with the music, and it’s not easy with time signatures like this.

[@DanJackson1977]

2 live songs that youll love.. Talking Heads: Life During Wartime and Dio: Rainbow in the Dark. Gotta be the live early 80s versions though. 🤘😎 Dio is a guy you really need to deep dive on. One of the single greatest singers in rock history. 5 foot 4 but with the voice of a god.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

One of my favorites. About Maynard's son. Reminds me of my boys.

[@Mike_HuntizWet]

Called a Talkbox. It’s guitar tonez manipulated by mouth movements 🤘🌀

[@bromanvt]

Great call on the voicebox btw

[@Killer10JoSe]

they use a talk box to do that effect with the guitar. kinda like a vocoder

[@jakecameron2976]

This song is a banger for sure.

[@gunlean7738]

Yeh the guitarist appears to be using wot i think is called a talk box. A tube is connected to the guitar up to microphone stand and guitarist puts mouth over the Talk Box and kinda makes sings or makes vocal noise to which guitar coverts to this sound effect. Richie Sambora used it famously in Bon Jovi used song "Livin on a Prayer".

[@jimmyg.6487]

Thanks Ethan.

[@noelcorbett8042]

My fav 🔥

[@georgegoldsiii6427]

listen the song Right in Two you love it

[@ryanm776]

To me Tool acts as a heartbeat and comes out sounding like a tribal beat!!!

[@Ogt92]

Subbed for more Tool!

[@DaUnforgiven1]

The album 10000 days was about his mother are her struggles with her terminal illness. H survived 10000 days after her diagnosis and it was 10000 days of living in hell as he saw it. She was a devout Christian and her faith was a huge part of her life. Wings for Marie was written for her

[@jrtilley]

Right on Ethan! :) ..... and tool IS acid

[@markwillis675]

I believe it's about his first born son. He was living the rock star life, but after his son was born he was ready to give up all the excesses up for fear of losing him.

[@rastomasstanford7708]

It's called the wakening. Its when your spirit is waking up from this fake reality. Tool is that. The drummer Danny uses a lot of tribal poly rhythms that gives fuel to the soul for the wakening. I've been listening to them since 92 when I was 11yrs earth strong. Have turn back since.

[@Awprod2000]

T00L

[@efjefe]

You have a spot eating shrooms with us. Welcome

[@andycallahan65]

Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho"

[@theeristicwriter8280]

A lot of Danny's drum beats are based on traditional African tribal beats and time-scales so that could be why you make the Egyptian connection?

[@AMikeStein]

Depending on who you talk to, but out of all their albums almost everyone agrees Lateralus and 10,000 days are their best work. I love anything from Aenima onward, but 10,000 days is just wonderful though.

[@neurochris]

About the newest tool album, I shunned it for a while and when I finally bought it, I really liked it obviously, but one thing I may say about it now is that it is dominated by the instruments, and the emotional aspect that comes from Maynard seems to be sidelined, it's just not there like it is in the other albums, I don't know why, maybe that's just what happens. I think it is time to have another listen to it soon.

[@DWish808]

Ahh, the guitar voice thing... React To Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do As far as I know, he was the pioneer of that. There's a 13+ minute version of this song that was the first I heard and it was on a radio station. Blew my mind. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoCxXmeQqseMmMk

[@50NewEyes]

Apparently he wrote it for his son devo...

[@jayslack41]

It's a guitar with a tallbox and a whawha at the same time

[@merenthatarrant1860]

I'd love to hear your take on A Perfect Circle song 3 Libras

[@ThatSingerReactions]

That’s coming

[@appelsap1479]

It's not really the beat switching up like you said. The song is mostly played in 9/8 or alternating 4/4 5/4 bars, i believe. Not the craziest time signature tool has used. You should really check out songs like lateralus and schism! Pneuma has some weird stuff going on too.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Lateralus is next I already did the others 2 it’s on my rock playlist

[@BrainWasherAttendent]

Do every tool song.

[@chrismeyer7890]

Now do Right in Two. Same Album

[@mrcatsuit]

Automatic like.

[@nickp440]

Nothing they do is easy in terms of timing. They take the most basic (in terms of difficulty) shit and turn it upside down

[@ExploreNC]

Bro dont eat no acid dude !!!!

I don’t even smoke weed bro I don’t been doing anything 😂
