Tool Right in Two (Reaction!) | The melancholy of the angels watching us divided

[@strwbrryswisher420]

As a TOOL fan for roughly 20 years, I'm going to be honest for a second. It almost brings me to tears of joy, seeing someone hear TOOL for the first time and honestly enjoying the full experience. And understanding it better than most people do. I can tell that everything you are saying and feeling is a completely honest reaction. I'm envious of you being able to experience this for the first time. It's such a great journey that you are on.

[@50NewEyes]

Man I do actually cry…. 45 years old male….

[@briannieubuurt332]

I feel the same way. Thought just today, it like seeing a child grow and develop. Start to take their first steps. I found one, brand new, listen to this first song 3 days ago. He saw Maynard on Joe Rogan, heard him talk about the Fibonacci sequence found Maynard interesting and had to check Tool out. He started with Laturalus, told him that was like starting school in the fifth grade, but he got it right away. I told him to go back to Undertow, that's where I started, I heard Sober, that bass line, Danny's high-hat driving the song forward and that was it, like a junkie I was hooked. I'll drop the link, check him out, give him some pointers, watch a new born grow.... spiral out... keep going 🌀

[@Venomroos]

Same

[@Dankskees]

Exactly how I felt watching him react. He doesn't react like most other Tool KZbin reactors that give no intellectual thought to the lyrics and just react to the music.

[@BillCoz]

Yeah I love watching "Tool first listen reaction" videos, I like seeing the person's face when the music hits them, it's the same kind of expression, accept to a far lesser degree, when you see a first time psychedelic user start to feel it and "understand" it..

[@justinmccln]

"Tool Army" is the name, "Spiraling Out" is the game, haha. "Repugnant is a creature who would squander his ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here." That line shattered a previous version of myself.

[@EddieHD_]

It's always fun to read the comments on Tool reaction songs as someone who only heard of tool in 2019 when I was 20. I have been a total tool-head since then and I've listen to all their stuff over and over and over for these past 2 years, so it's fun to see so many people saying they have been fans of Tool before I was even born.

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Yes, that's all the drummer. Danny Carey

[@O_U_No_It_2]

Definitely one of my favorite tool songs. And certainly represents my view of the human race and our instinctually incessant need to control, to fight and lay cruelty. My Hope Is that people will start recognizing this in themselves. That we can rise above those once necessary evolutionary tendencies. MJK frames it so well here.

[@roneldridge9281]

Great reaction to a great song this is definitely in my top 5 of my favorite 50 other songs by Tool...all also in my top 5. You mentioned you were doing this for your daughters...I love that. And yep...Tool has several songs that Maynard wrote for his son. More of as a warning...like that fear you get with newborns that make a new dad feel the mantle of protection...I would recommend H next. H is the middle name of his son and he warns us all through the eyes of a father to not repeat the cycle of hatred and fear that we may have received as a child. It is interesring.

[@chriscary9269]

Maynard writes the lyrics /melodies for the song when there already completed by the other members , needless to say he’s a amazing poet. H would be a good one to react to

[@Andalf1986]

We are called the #TOOLARMY!

[@briannieubuurt332]

I've been Tool fan since 93'. No other band can take you a journey like Tool. Maynard's vocals in mixed so that it sits right in the middle of the music, unlike a lot of band where they place the vocal out front. His vocals Become more like a instrument, blended perfectly "between the sounds". If you want to see what Maynard come do go check out A Perfect Circle, one of his other bands, it will blow you away. I would suggest "3 libras". Welcome to the Army, Spiral out, keep going.

[@cb4me450]

Same here. Hearing Undertow album when I was 10 resonated more to me then much of the rest of what was around. Especially growing up on Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd. Rarely a day has gone by since that I either don't listen to something by them or play a song in my head.

I've seen TOOL live on multiple occasions spanning over a decade (first time in 2006). It's mind-blowing each time. I missed out on tickets for their 2022 tour, but I did get to see them again last year right before covid. I can die happy.

[@gregrivett9372]

Heymon, love the reactions. Tool is definitely a trip. You mentioned about your little one not sleeping. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, both girls. Both born and raised on tool music. To be honest, the rhythms and hypnotic nature of some of the songs were the best for bouncing both my girls to sleep as infants. It was always my go to in a pinch. A very good playlist is Pneuma, Right in Two, Parabol Parabola, Lateralus. Try Pneuma next, album version. Best tool song for a baby that won't sleep.

[@faegoyle777]

[@kaekazakas4597]

There’s a part 1 to Right In Two called Intension. No one ever recommends Intension, so I recommend you listen to both songs together on your free time. Intension is a great meditation song.

[@ext93]

I read many years ago that Justin soaked his strings in water for a day or 2 to get that specific tone on his bass on Intension. Might be total BS but the bass has a particularly juicy tone on that track

[@kizznillroy07]

Intension is always overlooked.

[@frankspaan6160]

Love your reactions! You think Lateralus almost brought you to tears! Wait till you get to the songs about Maynards mother! You really need to listen to the songs in a specific order . Maynard'smom was incapacitated for 27 years and you will.feel Maynard's emotions through his lyrics. Maynard is the lead singer for A Perfect Circle also and I would personally start with Orestes, then Judith. Switch back to Tool and do Jimmy and finally, finish with Wings for Marie part 1 and 10,000 days wings for Marie part 2. Those 2 last songs are probably the most sincere lyrics of any song ever written!
