My first Tool concert was last February… it was the best concert I’ve ever seen.

[@lucky_lola]

@@dbartley555 The last time I saw Tool was in 2009. I missed this last tour and I'm heartbroken over it. I hope they don't take too long to tour again! 😭 I will make sure to be there next time!!!

[@eja144]

Saw them twice in 2001, once in 02, 06, 19, and 2022. All five are in my top 10 best shows I’ve ever seen.

Bro I will buy Polo’s ticket for him. My parents saw them in the 90’s and I finally saw them live last year. I may or may not have cried during the breakdown on Invincible 😂

I'm a metal head and u don't see this much but they are so good u can't hate.

There’s a version of this song in concert where a fan gets on stage to give him a hug and Maynard hip tosses him and finished the song on top of him

[@HarborKat]

This was the one I was trying to get him to react to. I’m the supporter that gave a paid request. Maynard and the fan.

[@aliciadavis1163]

I heard in an interview, Maynard said it was his stage not to be taken. He throws him and sits on top never missing a word or breath of the song. This one was memorizing. I would love to have seen this.

[@ks5553]

A TOOL concert is something else, Polo. If they come your way... beg, borrow, or steal the money to go. You won't forget it.

I’ve seen them 7 times since 2001 and I’d sell one of my remaining 3 toes to see them again. Well worth it.

If you want to really lose your mind on Maynard’s live vocals, go to the tool in NYC 2002 show and go to 34 minutes. His reverse echo build into the scream in H is one of my all time favorite live music moments

Seeing Maynard pre 2000s is him at his best on stage. The live salival version is a remake of their own song. Personally my favorite.

Maynard always dances and moves with the the music in such a trippy way love it

I think more people who react to artists should choose to react to live performances where possible. Nudge nudge there are tons professionally recorded Perfect Circle and Puscifer live videos on KZbin, I highly recommend these over the studio versions, MJK is killer live.

Spiral out on Stranglehold live (remastered)... Watching Maynard performing live is like an alien trying to operate a human body for the first time. 🤘

Please do H live from the 2002 New York concert. One of the best things I have ever heard in my life!

[@0_fksgvn955]

It's at festival. You're much better off seeing them for the first time when they're on their own tour. Production value is so much better and they play more songs. Also, you'll have to deal with a festival crowd, which can take away from the experience. If you go to an actual tool concert, everyone is there to see them and the vibe is incredible. The whole area singing along.

[@MostlyCloudy]

so true. this was exactly my thought process when i was deciding whether or not to make the trip out to florida or ohio.

[@loucipher9436]

I saw them about a month after this show. One of my top five shows ever (for reference, I have been to over 200 concerts). This was the only time out of the five times I have seen TOOL that Maynard took center stage. He changed outfits three times and really worked the crowd. Amazing show. The new tour is stunningly beautiful, I highly suggest going to see it if possible. Welcome to the Army!

I saw tool at Nassau coliseum on long island Halloween 2002. They had a contest on the radio and the person who won got to paint Maynard! He came out in black paint from head to toe covered in orange florescent dots. It was the best show to date for me

[@Pcross_187]

Polo, a few things... after watching (and so thoroughly enjoying) your journey into and experience from your first listen until today, yes, you must absolutely see them live. It's not a concert, or live show, it's an experience. So, please do it and make a video about it, share it with all of us. This is easily one of my top 3 favorite Tool tracks, particularly the Salival version, of which your video on it was amazeballs. I never knew a live video of that interpretation even existed and I want to see it. The only thing separates this recording from the Salival version was the bongos, which I believe was performed on the Salival album by a world renowned bongo player guest starring. I could be wrong on that fact...nevertheless, no one sings or performs their music like these guys do. You must see them live. It's/they are juat another level.

[@66marbor]

I'm glad I had the opportunity to see them several times back in the day. No way I could drop the pile of cash it takes to see them these days. Same goes for many other big name bands on tour. I don't blame them for making money, I just can't dish it out anymore.

[@tidewell]

Back during this era of Tool's live shows, they would often open up the set with the song "Hooker with a Penis" (the song is actually a pretty amusing reaction to a fan confronting Maynard)... Anyhow, Maynard would come out at the start of the show all dressed in drag to get his point across. lol

[@xtop23]

I've seen TOOL 4 or 5 times ..... during Aenima ......Lateralus ..... 10k Days..... Innoculum..... they don't disappoint. During Lateralus they had contortionists crawling across the stage doing animal poses while naked dudes and chicks hung from the ceiling like trapeze artists and spun in circles...... whole place a cloud of 420..... and everyone knowing every word to every song. It's really something else. Not to be missed.

[@count_bear]

Noooooo.... please listen to the Salival version of the song !!! It is the best version out there ! But still glad you've reacted to one of my favourite Tool songs ! Keep it metal my man ! 🤘

[@ScreeFi440]

😆 "Maynard looks like a zombie that wormed it's way through a woman's closet." 🤣So poetically accurate somehow, and so beautifully deadpanned, my good sir. 😂 I give all due humor kudos. That really hit my funny-bone. And yeah, you Gotta catch them live. Maynard's more of a shadow creeper these days, but good god still rocks the house hard. All he's lost with age has been the ability to do The Scream. 'Cause The Scream broke his ability to do The Scream. ...Unsurprisingly. I'm always blown away by the postures he can sing through, and how taken over he is by the character that *is* the song - like he personifies The Song through his theatrical performance. A lot of singers will take on the character speaking the lyrics, but it's like he's the embodiment of that character's tortured and confused emotional processes, or subconscious, or id/ego/superego, getting pulled along some journey or experience that's musically narrated by Adam/Justin/Danny. His voice and his body are so tense, vulnerable, hurt and confused for so much of this piece - even more so in the more recent live version. (I hadn't listened to Pushit for a while before listening to that recent one, and actually had a moment where I thought he might have lost his live-game with how strained he sounded , and then he tore into the "PUSHIN' - AND I'M - SHOVIN"s and just hammered the choice home. Gorgeous.)

[@jerrymac4961]

Hey POLO REACTS! Please don't expect as much "movement" from Maynard (he hangs out in the drum riser in the shadows across from Danny), Adam Jones is almost stock still except for key moments in songs where he'll walk towards Danny or slightly towards Justin. Danny does Danny but even he kind of "trances up" at certain points where he's looking slightly up and stays still but his arms are flying. Justin lately seems to constantly body rock to a pulse. These guys are still spot on but they are in their mid fifties and higher.

[@MatthewParker21]

@POLO REACTS, if you see Tool live you will be blown away and I definitely recommend it ...BUT... I would kinda feel bad if their your first concert, because it might ruin every other concert you go to from other bands afterwards.. If you do see a Tool show, and you should, definitely sit in the center as they do some panoramic audio that you won't fully experience if you sit on the side.

[@javalily]

First time I saw them live in 92-93, he was wearing a bra and panties, thigh high stockings, and was painted half black, and half white. Maynard is very theatrical. All the shows since, he's been just as theatrical in his costumes, including Puscifer as well.

[@aaronwolf3587]

I’ve been wanting this version of the song for a while. Thanks for doing 2 different versions of it. I can’t get enough. Try H. or Third Eye. Both from this same album. As usual you won’t be disappointed. Don’t remember if you’ve done Jambi or not but that one and Right in Two are both great.

[@timg7627]

Good video, good reaction as always 👊 I prefer the studio version of push it over the salival version. The passion and emotion combined with the lyrics and music is more powerful. Either way, the last couple verses still give me chills. I’d say this is their darkest and most disturbing song.

[@gearspider]

I absolutely love the studio album version. It is so on point. The Salival variation is also fantastic.. But for me, the best ever performance of this song is when the fan got on stage, and Maynard hip-tossed him, sat on top of him and absolutely BELTED the rest of the song. It was fucking incredible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaq8h2huhLmEY5I this is the best version of that performance in my opinion, it blends together multiple personal cameras well, especially for the time period.

[@uncletaco916]

The Columbus show is a four day festival with TOOL headlining Thursday night. It will be impossible to avoid other bands but at $149 for a ticket it would still be worth it. You might hear something else you like too.

[@FourT6and22]

Check out the entire concert of theirs from JC Dobbs performance here on KZbin. It's incredible and the audio quality is great. A good up close and personal performance of theirs.

[@feintcircles]

TOOL is amazing live, as I'm sure you've been told. I have unfortunately had 2 bad experiences at TOOL shows, but 2 out of 6 really isn't bad. One show Maynard was sick and was only able to perform about 30 minutes of the show. The rest of the band tried to continue without him and played 2 more songs after Maynard left the stage, but ultimately the show was cut short. Another show I bought some last minute scalped tickets and the seats were horrible! We were actually behind the stage off to the side and we couldn't see anything. I'm pretty sure all I could see was Adam's left leg, and thanks to where we were the sound was terribly muffled. This was no fault of the band of course I was just mad this venue had these seats available. Anyway, it is possible to be let down at a TOOL concert, but just make sure you don't buy the cheap seats and hope that everyone in the band is healthy. Other than that their shows are phenomenal and I can't wait to catch them live again.

[@wallacetownsend8384]

They did this version when I saw them at Alpine Valley in 98

[@ReflectionTool637]

Read that for world wide touring artists in 2021 or 22 (?) - they were in the top 10 for revenue. What this means is (1) when they tour - they sell out arenas all over our orb & (2) tix ain't cheap! Saw them 5x, recently: 2017 (Vancouver), 2020 (Vegas) & 2022 (Dublin). GO SEE THEM LIVE :)))

If you have noticed Maynard normally is off to the side with all his bands. He doesn't like the center's attention, but during this short period he came to the front with a painted body and often women's clothing. He is one of the greatest front men, and yet is shy or self conscious to the point of making his appearance oddly off.
