TOOL REACTION // FORTY SIX & 2 // LEO TORRES REACTS

[@robertbrenton6833]

46&2 is a reference to chromosomes. We currently have a 44 & 2 setup in our bodies. 46&2 represents an evolution in humankind, in our consciousness. An ascension further up the spiral. Spiral out!

[@BoolFalse]

only just from the title, at first i thought it's like a man and a woman (two) with 46 chromosomes.. so that's why it's not "46 & 2" but "Forty Six & 2" for marking it.. not sure about the meaning 🌀👁️🔧

[@catcrawford4081]

We currently have 23. & 2 xy. If evolved to a higher level of consciousness it would be forty six & 2. Based on the Carl Jung theory…

[@saracee313]

You are such a Tool fan, just waiting to discover their catalog 😊. Parabol/Parabola and Pneuma (do the drum cam) and Lateralus for sure are right up your alley. And Jambi is just 🔥lol.

[@staffannilsson4484]

Oh to be you, discovering Tool for the first time!

[@ryanm3459]

Great reaction! PARABOL AND PARABOLA, both songs back to back. No break needed in between.

I learned how to edit audio just so I could merge those files permanently.

[@tracimac6210]

Just came across you this morning, right in time for this reaction and subscribed instantly for your tool journey. Ive been listening to them for decades and love seeing new appreciation such as yours so i can relive it again. Thank you! I suggest The Pot for you next.

[@nedprince4887]

As someone who's been a huge fan since '93, everything they do is on purpose and has a purpose. Enjoy... Spiral Out 🌀

Never knew this song or band. My husband just got back from being gone for a long time. We had welcome home party at the bar, and their deployment work up video played this. I ask what is this?! It is incredible to me. And the younger guy in their crew that made the video for this also plays in cover band so we see him at the bars now. A warrior and musician. There were other songs in the video but this made the hair raise on my neck.

[@JayBunte]

@@sukaenacornelius9285 that is an awesome story

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

@@JayBunte i learn that military guys love the tool band and alice chains. Rooster for exactly. Which I actually already knew because I loved the acoustics from mtv and the jar of flies album. I actually like korn and limbizkit, and those songs were in there too! Which my husband and I love korn and work out in the garage to.

I’ve seen Tool live many times over more than 30 years. It’s always fun watching the birth of a new fan.

[@GingerMeyer-f9u]

Your going to love watching Danny Carrie's drum cam for Pauma and yes there is defiantly a tool army.....welcome new member. Now that you have listened you can't walk away

[@Daniel-o6d]

I finally understand this song. He's working through and controlling his shadow.

[@LymLevolveon]

Read some Carl Jung, the shadow archetype is fascinating

[@Daniel-o6d]

@@LymLevolveon I've read a bunch of it now. I just hadn't listened to this song in awhile. Mind you I've never come across the 46 and 2, yet. If you know what book that is in, I'd like to know.

[@heyskipj]

Love the journey! Def more than one angle in this song. Appreciate the ride!

[@TheOneLTReacts]

Hey! Thanks for joining me!

[@RosettaStoned462]

I was lucky enough to hear this song live a couple of times on their FI tour. Still such a bager!

[@Naveseya]

[@russellhebert2224]

Spiral out, keep, going!

[@shaunacohen7630]

Such a fun reaction! Loved it!

[@TheOneLTReacts]

Thank you!! 😁

[@mapexzildjian6361]

I was cheering for you to get at least one movement on time with the music, but.... Syncopated grooves, polyrhythms & odd meters is TOOLs DNA

[@samuelbuttery8786]

There is no right order, except maybe chronologicaly. I think listening to Tool's more accessible songs at first helps ease into it. Something like The Pot or Schism would do well. Keep going.

[@shannontreiber1070]

Nah. Start with undertow. Then go forward. The Pot is their best song for new fans. Why? It utterly hits their old sound AND their new sound. It’s the transition song.

[@jgbc25]

love your channel!

[@johncarpenter3751]

5:22 to me, Literally tripping is taking psychedelics. I’ve tripped on LSD more times than I’ve lost my balance and fallen 😂

[@DanWithPlan]

Check out H and Ticks & Leeches as well as Lateralus!

[@metalopenmind]

Tool is way beyond any average band cause their progressive elements take some time to take in. I've been a fan since the late 90s and I hope to see more great albums in the future. They don't do that very often, you know! I'm glad that you are discovering them, you can expect only the unexpected lol One of their masterpiece songs is Schizm from the album Lateralus, both musically and lyrically. You should try that in the future. Cheers from Brazil \m/

[@sarahpope8658]

Great reaction!! Can't wait for your next Tool reaction!!! Spiral out, keep going!!

[@revitplumber]

Just saw this… great reaction. Looking forward to the next few songs

[@Sab_MJsMama]

But you know what? All the times you were off you didn't look goofy. Not that anyone should worry about how they look when they're hearing music for the first time. You looked like you were still having a great time and you carried it off in such a groovy, enjoyable way. I think the fact that you seem to genuinely enjoy music and have a genuine positive but intelligent vibe about you is amazing ;)

[@TheOneLTReacts]

Thanks! I feel like a baby flapping his arms up and down lol

[@violet04nunya98]

My favorite song. Hope your reaction is worthy.

[@LilDevil769]

I seen Tool twice. They are amazing both live and studio. Welcome to the army ❤❤❤

[@XxMaJoRxX77]

I'm so jealous I want to see them so badly

[@scottbroughton7189]

Plenty of good tunes enjoy

[@shannontreiber1070]

The Pot is their number one “transition” song-hits elements of their old style and their new. And must do lyrics!! It’s a very meaningful song if you pay attention.

[@JonnySativaSeed]

Id recommend either The Grudge, Lateralus, or Schism. Speaking of Schism, there's a video I think you would like on the channel Drumeo titled Dennis Chambers Hears Tool for the first time. It shows an accomplished musician try to interpret the drumming on that song without having heard it. You trying to guess where the song is going reminded me of that video.

[@Lloocii]

He did The Grudge. This is the first reaction I've seen from him, but The Grudge was in the recommendations under it. 2 weeks ago.

[@mouseshadow5828]

Maynard named the band "Tool" because that's what he wanted it to be; a way for himself to heal and grow as a human.

[@joehochgreve5710]

Welcome to the tool army! Spiral out keep going!

[@TheOneLTReacts]

Thank you so much!

[@John_in_SoDak]

[@RonMortensen]

Mate I beg you to check out their whole discography, ... I would watch every single reaction...you seem to get it. 👌

[@harleyquinn418]

Good lesson in letting go of your expectations

[@thebaps1143]

Congrats! You figured out he was talking about chromosomes without Google! But this is about Jung’s theory of evolution and collective consciousness if we developed another pair of chromosomes. He believed that what prevented this crossover was our “shadow”.

[@uncopino]

yup. bogus theory but fascinating

[@thebaps1143]

@@uncopino it’s a wild one. But clearly made an impression on him because schism is also about Jung’s theory and the. Lateralus plays w it.

Go in whatever order you want man. I will say that listening to the full album in one sitting really pays off. They take you on a journey and the ride is worth it.

[@AaronTilby]

I almost believe you have never heard this before. You got a like 😊

[@thepooz7205]

I believe it, but he definitely looked up lyric meanings at some point in preparation. Nobody would conclude “DNA or something” upon first hearing a few lyrics of this song.

[@treyralls522]

Love the reaction. Lateralus should be next.

[@carlakane3313]

Subbed for more Tool, Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Anything MJK does is gold.

[@Bongus75]

First good walkthrough. Now dig down!

[@attackofthequasars]

So so happy to see another person getting into Tool. Amazing that it caught you while you're doing shadow work. Hope you enjoy yourself and lose yourself in the music. Please try Lateralus!

TOOL ARMY 🙌

[@loobkoob]

There's not really a strict "order" you should listen in, but most people will recommend the more accessible Tool songs to start with. Some of their songs are very musically dense and can be quite overwhelming - particularly with some of the grooves and rhythmic switch ups - and they tend to make that much use of melody or common structures like most people are used to (opting for a more tribal, rhythmic sound, as you've already noticed) so a lot of people find it difficult to find something to latch onto. Believe it or not, what you've listened to so far has been on the more accessible end of Tool's discography, and is what most people would consider "gateway songs" (which makes Tool sound like a hard drug - and in some ways they are!) Seeing as you're very clearly someone who's into drums, I'd recommend the Danny Carey drum cam version of Pneuma (from the Vic Firth channel). Hearing the drums is impressive enough, but watching him play is a whole other level of mind blowing, and it's a high-quality live recording. (Just don't even attempt to figure out the time signatures, it'll drive you crazy!) I'd also recommend Right In Two and Schism.

[@BDM-PAISLEY-EDDIE]

At least we can tell it's your first time listening to this. And yes 46&2 is supposed to be the next human evolution

[@dnrdni1466]

Loved your energy. Suggest Pneuma with the Danny Carey drum cam.

[@TheOneLTReacts]

That is coming soon! I reacted to Pneuma studio version first and then I went to check out the drum cam. Pneuma is coming tomorrow morning!

[@lonewanderer2287]

I vote Right In Two next. Another interesting concept to chew on.

46 & 2 is the time signature 😂 lmao no it has to do with chromosomes and human evolution. The shadow is the jungian archetype. A lot of jungian stuff throughout this album, a masterpiece.

[@ckennedy309]

Don't feel bad Leo, everybody always gets up and kicks their air drums after listening to Tool...they do it on purpose.

[@MichelleHutchinson-r3h]

This is one big reason people misinterpret the lyrics, which makes them completely lose the entire meaning of the songs. Some of those lyrics on the screen are incorrect.

[@Trendkiller196]

You probably won’t understand half of their songs at first listen. That’s ok. That’s the point. Spiral 🌀 out. Keep going. Also try to avoid the videos. They are distracting from the songs. A lot of them are fan made. A quick skimming of the lyrics before you listen will help also. I’ll shut up now.

[@shannontreiber1070]

Love that you did tool…but you talked through SO many parts that are the BUILD UP-so you miss the true intensity that they bring here. Listen more, talk later!!

[@vanrijn6241]

My guy, it's disrespectful to compare Tool to STP. Both are great bands but Tool is a league on its own.

[@TheOneLTReacts]

I meant no disrespect, I was not comparing them, the riff reminded me of a STP riff that's all. I come in peace.

[@jru3949]

Hey guys, am I completely wrong, or has the same dude had a channel under a different name for a bunch of yrs? I'd love to be wrong!! Please tell me I'm wrong

[@jru3949]

I'd love to be wrong.

[@TheOneLTReacts]

What is it that you’re implying? I have multiple channels and I’m sure this channel was something else before it was this. But I don’t understand what the issue is?

[@jru3949]

@TheOneLTReacts it isn't an implication. People start new pages all the time. I'm not opposed, I was literally asking. Either way, I've followed and enjoyed his content for yrs. Maybe he had posted something I missed. I don't appreciate dishonesty about "first listens" ... but I get it. I don't dislike the content, I just don't think deception is a good business practice. Like I said, I could be wrong or misinformed. That's the point of a question.

[@jru3949]

This is, in no way an "implication" people choose what is best for their lives. I'm not hating, at all. I was thrown off by the sudden hoodie (when you have gorgeous hair). I get having many accounts. I was thrown off by the rebrand. Still gonna watch your stuff and enjoy it. But, dang. I don't like ppl assuming we are dumb.. hence the question.

[@jru3949]

I've literally watched your reactions to many many types of music, and have enjoyed them all. And also respecting you all the way through... but there is no way to primally react to groups like tool and present it as a first time reaction when I've seen someone who I respected, reacting first time, to something I've watched them react to on a different channel. I'm not mad! And I could surely be wrong. I respect both creators for their work. But it seems sus. Or I wouldn't have even asked. Not an allegation. Simply a question from a fan

BABBLING SHIT OVER A SONG IS INTRINSICALLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE LISTENER
