TOOL MONDAY MARATHON - 4°- Descending | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION (BMC Request)

[@ericmeredith8754]

Nick and Lex , thanks so much for this reaction! I got off work and was so excited to you had uploaded this video. I have been waiting for months for the opportunity to share my love of this band with you to. I have been a die hard fan from the beginning and their music has helped me through some really tough times! I really just wanted to bookend their evolution as band by choosing something off their earlier album , then show off Descending! Its one of many really great tracks off fear innoculum. My wish is that this will ignite you both to dive in to their catalog! Im my opinion , i believe this is not a band you can frequent or only listen to a song a coupe times. Especially their new material. That being said , i feel i may have got this request in too late. Now that you are into other styles of music at the moment! I also understand that this band is not for everyone! Regardless, i loved your reaction! It made my day watching this! Truly truly did!😀 i love this channel and both of you! Thanks for everything! 2022 is gonna be a great year for this channel! 🤘🏿

[@timothymcneely7869]

You got em wearing Tool shirts. I subbed. It’s time for ALL to react to TOOL. Great Music that takes you away. Lyrics about the Human Condition. Raw, and real. But hopefully. Makes you ascend. Spiral out and feel. Be.

Descending, one of the most beautiful song in history.

[@aaroncole3941]

Descending is incredible. You guys really need to hear tempest. Adam Jones (guitarist) really shows a new level here!

[@neonom1024]

Only Adam Jones can pull off a 4-minute guitar solo in 21/8 and still make it compelling to me.

[@justmyopinion987]

I know this is an old video, but "musicianship" is the perfect word to describe the construction of this song. Well said, both of you, well said. - TOOL ARMY class of '93

[@buddysaile973]

A nice appetizer before I feast on Tool live in a couple of days, two of my favorite tracks being cooked up by a couple of my favorite reactors! Thanks for posting, this weekend is going to be lit! Now, if i can just find a taker for my extra floor seat in Miami...

[@gregcormier2379]

Totally agree with you guy's, when you listen to Tool it puts you in a meditative trance. With their changes of intensity in their music and the haunting vocals from Maynard it transport you into a whole other headspace.

[@marioFlores-pq5xr]

Dad here.....Yes, please do Pneuma!!! I keep telling them how cool that video is!. I loved this reaction. Thanks Eric for all your support and for suggesting this!. I'm a fan, and thankful that it's so new for me. That last song from the new album was great! Keep up the great work guys!!👍

[@66marbor]

Awesome....I want to see it too dad!

[@moritzkorsch9029]

The wholesomeness of this comment section is palpable! Did Eric get you onto Tool? It's amazing the effort he put into his request. (New to this channel, will see how many more he requested)

[@rafanj824]

"Descending" is special. The first Metal song that made me emotional, with tears in my eyes. They are masters in composition. Masters in making music that touches the very soul. I'm not religious or in matters of spirituality or anything like that, but Tool in Lateralus and Fear Inoculum albums, made songs that are a true spiritual journey.

[@59jeflew]

Tool is a music genre

[@chrislegner4816]

A nice pairing, as it bookends the band's progression over time. Very insightful commentary.

[@sarahpope8658]

[@thomsevilla4956]

AT LAST!!! ANOTHER TOOL REACTION...IT HAS BEEN A WHILE GUYS ..... THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@DexBuildGames]

I think this is a massively underrated Tool song. The message around protecting the planet combined w/ incredible atmosphere and increasing urgency just nails it for me.

[@da9pauly]

I just saw Tool in concert on 01/19/22 San Diego, I had 5th row floor seat center section it was my 4th time seeing Tool in concert always an awesome concert!!

[@calvingreen5202]

I loved the reaction!! I'm slowly immersing myself into the Tool catalog, but I have listened to quite a few tracks from Fear Inoculum. I think this album is epic, one that will be listened to and talked about for many years. I think Tempest(7empest) is the best song, but Invincible, Fear Inoculum and Pneuma are all incredible songs.

[@johnboymann1046]

Coming from someone in their 60s it is refreshing to see young people respond honestly to what we have known is some of the best music around !

[@freddieg]

Great work team! Not only are they masters of music but also the integration of art and culture. FI album is a masterpiece

[@johnboymann1046]

Thanks so much for these two ! Both are great ! But Descending is one where you go in one way and you come out a little different but better ! Uplifted !

[@richardbradley1532]

Interesting, new to Tool but going to see them in a couple of months. Looking forward to it.

[@Rayk76]

Descending is a majestic beautiful beast of a song that's sends shivers down my spine, and i well up with tears when the guitar solo comes in near the end i can actually hear to me the guitar cry, it's great seeing you enjoying the music so much 🤘

[@Ma4t2t0_]

Paul D amor was the original bassist for Tool for the EP opiate and their album undertow and actually did some songs on aenema then Justin Chancellor came in and finished some of the records on aenema when Paul left and Justin has been the bass player ever since

[@johnboymann1046]

Descending is one of the best songs written ! If you all see it live you will agree ! At the top of my list !

[@michelemichele3375]

Finding this 2 years late. Fantastic idea for a video and you both picked up on all the cool shit.

[@claymiller2409]

THANK GOD you finally came back to Tool lol I've been waiting not-so-patiently-enough haha

[@franckthibault2521]

Tool is amazing: but the 1st time I heard about the band, it was when Maynard was featuring in a Live Performance or Tori Amos, the song was Muhammad My Friend, I loved his voice then as I love it now.

[@ingobordewick6480]

I know this performance. "When I can't sleep I call Maynard and he sings me lullabys" -Tori Amos

Fantastic performance. I’ve been a fan of both Tool and Tori for years, and that’s always been one of those performances that stays in my mind.

[@TheCowOfNow]

love when they hit the pedal

[@robertjones4361]

Oh how I have missed you two!!! You're missing out on the TOOL vibe.....one of the greatest Rock/Metal bands of all time, the dynamics and mix on this album is absolutely mind bending,, 30 years later...a true masterpiece! Looking good kids!

Lexi mentions doing more of them and I think there are a pretty good size group of people that would love to have you two review more tool ! There is greatness to be heard in all of their releases !

[@achafilms3968]

BEST band in the world ever... And not only by their skills, also by being the only band producing an unique an different feeling inside when listening, specially from Aenima and later.... which i cannot put it in words, really hard to explain. just amazing.

[@dimitrisschizas6954]

You guys are serius listeners and original music lovers, great videos!!!

[@johnboymann1046]

Something else that you all would enjoy is 7empest ! Nick especially !

[@DJMAERZ]

Seeing TOOL ('94 or '95) open the show with 4° is one of the most ballsy and best things I've ever seen in my life.

[@garya7893]

I was raised in the 70s on Rush Zeppelin Floyd and others To me Tool is on another level

[@BigEBass]

I see tool as a child of those three great bands you mentioned. 👍🏼🤘🏼

[@Mboogie69]

Interesting with the lyrics discussion because as a guitar player myself I get connecting to the music first, but what’s cool about Tool is how you can connect so deeply to the music by itself and then when you add what Maynard is talking about it just takes it all to a higher level. Even if you disagree with his point of view for some reason, he makes his point so beautifully it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

They're mastery of creating this big submersive sound through layering Will never be able to be matched by anybody

[@pablerry]

You are going to love the last song of Fear Inoculum album, 7empest.

[@kylonmagnus4587]

Great reaction!!

[@shimahero]

Thank you Eric for this match of two songs I was unfamiliar with. Nice choice to pick a early song with late song. It is a great band. I own the albums Lateralus ( Masterpiece) and Ænima. What a unique band. Even with their first songs, they have their own sound. I think Fear Inocolum is right my alley, more contemplative, meditative, but I like some raw songs too. All is good for Tool. I liked what you said there Nick about the harmonizing guitar and not showing of, but always see the philosophy of the sum that is more then the parts. Rock and metal is not my favorite musicgenre but I like Tool. I always ask myself why

[@johnnyb6067]

Thank you for mentioning the jazz influence in Danny’s drumming. I almost never hear anyone say that.

[@aiwass84]

yes many spoke about it & its obvious when you are peeling off he's drumming

[@alihijazi4451]

Here we gooooo!! Love your reactions, and love TOOL. Cheers! 🥰

[@ingobordewick6480]

Not the same line-up. The bass-player is different. Justin brought so much more soul to the music with his style of bass-play. He didn't often get the respect he deserves. When thinking about doing an whole album, please do "LATERALUS". In my opinion one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.

[@gdub454]

The next song from TOOL you guys gotta react to "7empest"..from Fear Inoculum..it won the guys an Emmy for "best hard rock" song...its even on video..Justin Chancellor (bass) and the beast Danny Carey (drums)..were there to go onstage and accept their award..which was VERY cool...))

[@surfj9009]

This is the best song ever composed by a 4 piece band. Ever

[@thomsevilla4956]

I'm kinda shy cuz I want to explain what four degrees is all about hihihi .....

[@shanesturgill75]

I think the wah part is played with a slide, not a Floyd Rose. Adam plays Gibson Les Paul's amd more recently a Flying V - all hard tails. I'm excited for more Tool! Cheers!

[@cometogether999]

I'm familiar enough with Tool, but not these two songs. Very enjoyable indeed. I really like that your channel is "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." I saw a review of this year's Tool tour, by someone who has never seen them before and his mind was sufficiently blown! 🤯🤯🤯

[@rudolfbecker4313]

I like your comparison with the chocolate box, because that's what Tool is for me ... I like many songs, but there's also a lot of stuff, which doesn't do anything to me ... for example I'm not a big friend of the "interludes" on the albums. My view of this band is even more critical since I don't like the hardcore fans acting as if Tool were gods .... and I didn't like the commercial step of the band, only offering the expensive version of the latest CD. I never bought it and I maybe never will .... and I have heard critical Tool fans say, the new album is boring.... I can't judge, because I don't know it.

[@unrealisticcliffburton3893]

Feels like there was some lateralus call backs, especially the synth part.

TOOL WILL MAKE ALL OF US BETTER HUMANS and yes do Lateralus

[@johnnorman7180]

If you want something similar try Soen 'Cognitive' . That's there first album, they are very good and developed their own sound more and more over the rest of their albums.

[@mvunit3]

I'm gonna' get flack . . . I enjoy THAT album and Soen MUCH more than Tool, because it has a bit more "difference" as the tracks move along. You can hear a touch of "Opeth" because of their former drummer/and founder of Soen; "Martin Lopez". My fave Tool albums is "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days", and I can enjoy any era of Tool, but I keep wanting more out of them. But I think many people like them because their music puts people in a "meditative" state. They definitely were a huge influence (along with Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Riverside and especially Paradise Lost) for melancholic heavier music. For those that enjoy Tool, and those that need "more" . . . III ~ kzbin.info/aero/PL2DU3TBNutEcnr_Fjq-ZMNeALABnPjz_S 3rd Entrance ~ kzbin.info/aero/PL2DU3TBNutEfs6mwWx_xIRZuJWhL6m2dF \m/

Hi Tony, I'm absolutely with you. As I wrote in my Soen comment before, I like Joel so much, also the others. I sometimes feel like, to understand Tool/Maynard completly, you have to be american... ok the music is universal, but I don't get all of his emotions or whatever he wants to express ....
