🎵 ​Tool - Right In Two - REACTION

[@ethanbrinkman3401]

"Repugnant is the creature that will squander the ability to lift and eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here." One of the most eye-opening and best lyrics I've ever heard

Brad should always have lyrics in front of him, especially with Tool.

[@rayknutson7805]

I agree 100% he's like me, a good beat is great and all, but what message are they trying to convey.

[@mikeboi4870]

Yes with this song he needs lyrics ...too big a message not to receive

[@scottkoppinger2595]

Wrong, lol...Tool's like the LAST band to read the lyrics upon your first listen...That's they DON'T INCLUDE their lyrics in their Album booklets. I believe Maynard has been on record saying that you should listen and feel the music before getting into the lyrics

[@Joe-bv7io]

@@scottkoppinger2595 While I agree it’s best to ‘feel’ the music then ‘understand’ it… With reaction videos people typically give it 1 listen. So while I think you’d agree that’s a travesty, especially when listening to tool, I think they need to have the ability to take in all they can get in that first listen.

[@scottkoppinger2595]

@@Joe-bv7io Sure some bands they may only listen to once, but this is Tool, ha, I think it's very rare, especially for people who are musically inclined to just one and done their songs almost ever...Reading the lyrics can detract from the experience, since you're thinking about the meaning of things more than you're feeling the music.

[@heyskipj]

During the intro, Brad was completely into the music without needing any lyrics. We’ve come a LONG way. Great job Brad!

[@manna6618]

I was totally thinking the same thing...Brad has def grown with the channel, certainly more open-minded with his music appreciation nowadays.

[@juicesghost8501]

Thats cause the man just saw this song in concert days before. We all know music hits different when you've heard it live

So cool that you got to experience them live! There's nothing quite like Tool.

[@homer9k655]

Seen Tool live three times. Saw the Lateralus tour way back when, 9 days after 9/11. Normal concert, amazing concert because Tool was performing a lot of the Lateralus album but man I'll never forget the vibe that was in the air that night so soon after. Kind of like a deep breath and just feeling like things would get back to normal. Saw the 10,000 Days tour also and they did some touring the year before Fear Inoculum came out. I'm guessing kinda like working the kinks out after the looong break between albums. Just my opinion but 3 epic shows!!

[@SenorGooch]

I think Maynard still does Perfect Circle shows but I haven’t heard of any close friends going for like 4 years

Angels on the sideline Puzzled and amused Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one you're bound to divide it Right in two Angels on the sideline, Baffled and confused Father blessed them all with reason, And this is what they choose? Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over Pieces of the ground Silly monkeys Give them thumbs, they forge a blade And where there's one they're bound to divide it Right in two Right in two Monkey killing, monkey killing monkey over Pieces of the ground Silly monkeys Give them thumbs, they make a club To beat their brother down How they've survived so misguided is a mystery Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here Gotta divide it all right in two Gotta divide it all right in two Gotta divide it all right in two Gotta divide it all right in two Fight till they die over sun, over sky They fight till they die over sea, over air They fight till they die over blood, over love They fight till they die over words, polarizing Angels on the sideline again Benched along with patience and reason Angels on the sideline again Wondering where this tug of war will end Gotta divide it all right in two Gotta divide it all right in two Gotta divide it all right in two Right in two Right in two Source: Musixmatch

It’s “Cut and divide it all right in two”

Tool saved my life. Grateful to and for them. thank ya'll for sharing the love guys!!!

TOOL is more than a band, they're an experience. The songwriting and musicianship is next level, and Maynard's lyrics actually make you think. Plus, this song has THE most epic breakdown I've ever heard in my life

[@joehynes5452]

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here...What a lyric!!!! Also, when you react to Tool, *lyrics are a must!!*

[@captainhowdy7928]

Absolutely love this song. It starts off so melodic building and building until it's just kicking you right in the groin and I'm smiling with every blow.

[@bryandeschenes6153]

Tool has achieved almost a cult-like status. Before they put out their music on KZbin and I guess Spotify, they had a more limited, but loyal fan base. I'm glad they changed their mind, now so many more can experience their unique sound. Maybe in a few years their music will heal the world, similar to The Wyld Stallions in "Bill & Tedd's Excellent Adventure". Whaddya think?

[@EssEll9791]

I'm counting on it, my dude! Until that glorious day, keep spreading the good word. Spiral out!

[@davepeesthepool]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they changed their mind fairly quickly after they initially committed to a 4 or 5 album contract that stipulated that none of their music could be sold in digital format. Tool was one of the bands that jumped on the "Napster panic" movement and their contract prevented any of their music from being sold digitally (and also prevented on-demand services from playing their music digitally). You can tell they didn't stick with that attitude for very long because a perfect circle was available on MP3 format from the get-go (so at least from Maynard's perspective, the negative attitude about digital music distribution had quickly changed). The release of Fear Innoculum was actually the final album under that particular contract. With that contract now completed with the release, they were no longer constrained and could go back and release their back log of albums on digital format.

[@zachgordon99]

Tool has a lot more popularity than you give them credit for noob

A tool song is like skydiving for the first time. Let me explain. When you go on your first skydive they recomend that you do two, preferably in a row. The first one is such a raw rush of so many things that the brain doesn't remember most of it. You need that second one to fully experience it complete. For it to truly soak in.

I am so happy you two made it to your first TOOL show, it is an experience . My wife and I caught the Boston show on the 19th of February. They are to me in the top 3 of best bands live. of course I personally think they are the greatest band ever lyrically, and musically . all very capable musicians and Maynard is an incredibly talented singer and song writer. I think the fear inoculum album and subsequent concert dates created a ton of new tool fans. there were a bunch of first time tool show goers at the Boston show , you can hear people talking about it and how shocked they were to see the band live. another great video, Thank you!

[@paxmorgana]

He was just saying "Cut it all right in two" but was lengthening the "uh" sound in Cut, and was a little light on on the first couple T sounds, making it sound like "Cu-(h)ud id all right in two."

[@grandpoobaah]

I love how you guys get into the zone of the song! Tool does that to me too, I love it

[@pdog547]

One of the best songs Tool has to offer, and they have many. This song is Tool in a nutshell. But they are also so much more.

[@howardcraven3664]

Maynard always uses metaphors, humans here, divided. Another song uses Mom for mother nature. Here, killing for pieces on the ground, humans killing each other for land. Danny rules. #ToolArmy

[@matthewgodding777]

I don't think there's any metaphor in this song, other than angels. It's slightly more blunt than aenima.

[@wauzers]

God, creation division, humanity....

[@robelliott1307]

this is my personal favorite tool song. thanks for doing it brad & lex. feel better soon guys.

[@michaelterry3885]

Every time I hear a TOOL song come on I inevitably get super stoked and think OH..! THIS is my favorite TOOL song ...just like this one... What a great song... And the music always takes me away somewhere deep in my psyche, somewhere a bit strange, and seemingly somehow otherwise inaccessible to me ....

[@JoeBlythe]

I was stumped with what Maynard is saying in the chorus too. Then it just hit me over time, and I was like "Ah, of course".

[@JoeBlythe]

@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head You're right. And in the chorus, what it sounds to me like he's saying makes sense coming from the angels. I suppose the chorus should start with "(They've)", but I think he leaves that word out on purpose, I'm guessing for melodic reasons, I'm not sure.

[@Gnomojo]

I’m so glad you guys got your butts to a Tool concert because no matter what your musical taste a Tool concert is something to behold.

[@42nazgul]

thank you for reacting to Tool good people, first time i heard Tool was in 1996, I was 23 years old. Greetimgs from Denmark

[@The_Kiosk]

FYI, the track before this, Intension, refers to blade and club as well and leads into this one, following the theme of stereo and duality on the 10,000 days album.

[@eggstu]

I love Intension and feel it's underrated. Lyrics and the buildup in the song are epic

[@howarddavis6894]

Brad is a lyrical kind of guy, I am too. It's important to get the lyric videos, cause that's a big part of the magic with Tool.

[@shanemason4031]

You got to check out "Tempest" a song they didn't perform when you saw them in concert, but is on album they are currently touring on. Plus this song won a Grammy for best Rock/Metal song. It's absolutely💯🔥❤️🌀😎, you'll be blown away by the musicianship and will definitely go on eargasmic journey.

[@Zan96man]

Hello Brad & Lex, I just started watching your reactions and I liked your reaction to this Tool song. For me this song took me on a journey through time, the music was very primitive in the beginning then evolved into more complex and aggressive sounds. Then you bring in the Maynard's words talking about Angels on the side watching "us" monkeys in Eden where there is plenty for all but we divide it in two. Give "us" a thumb and we make a club to beat our brothers down because we want not one but theirs and ours. Then I thought about how our brain evolved the primitive part "base instinct," this is represented in the song as the primitive percussion, then we grew another layer of our brain for more complex reasoning, the music gets more complex but those same monkeys, "us" still fighting over borders that we create to divide in two ours and theirs. The angels are still watching from the sidelines wondering where this is going to. Tool provides the frequency and the words and when we hear their songs we begin to change. As a species we need to ascend. The earth has plenty for all the earth's resources are ours by birth and money was created to divide in two what we need from what they have. We should have a resource based economy, clean air and clean water basic life sustaining things that all of "us" monkeys require not desire.

[@jpanici]

I’ve seen TOOL twice. The first time Maynard was front and center. The second time he stood to the left of the drum kit. Both times were equally amazing. 🤘😆🤘

[@heyskipj]

Favorite Tool song! Think the key lyric people miss upfront -Father blessed them all with reason- After that missing piece it’s a pretty simple, and deep nugget to explore.

[@ItsAlways710]

"Repugnant is the creature that would squander the opportunity to lift an eye to heaven conscious of their fleeting time here." - one of Maynard's best lyrics. One of my favorites Tool songs also...

[@heyskipj]

@@ItsAlways710 right? Nice little dig I didn’t catch until many, many listens later. Same for drum fills, bass lines… changes the journey. And i catch new stuff every time I re-listen to a Tool song. Like, after 2 years I’m finally starting to “get” Invincible.

[@BookishOwl2]

Arguably Satan blessed them all with reason, but it’s a great song.

[@TheArcofinfinity]

Theistic Evolution. Monkeys granted consciousness, became human. Freewill. We then choose to kill each other. Cut each other right in too. Angels can't understand.

[@dgs5809]

It's about Angels looking down at humans and seeing how they fight with each other over territory and resources when there is more than enough to go around. They watch as they build weapons to kill each other and mankind is constantly divided, unable to co exist with each other peacefully, always fighting over stupid little things.

[@UltimateAPBTS]

TOOL...🔥🔥🔥 #STUDIOVERSION

[@FlipMystic]

Maynard used to roam their AOL message board back in the early days of Tool. He made a deal to send you the lyrics but only if you sent him your version of what you heard first. Still have the copies he sent on the Zoo label letterhead. He thought it was more important for you to find your own meaning from the song

Love your guys videos. Been listening to Tool since 94'. I would be stoked to see you do something from the new album, Invincible or Descending would be good. Next level drum and guitar work, takes several listens to hear everything going on. Every Tool album feels like an evolutionary step for them. Great channel keep up the good work.

[@bobbyowsley4604]

Right in two is a reference to the biblical story of King Solomon where two women were claiming to be the mother of the same baby. Humanity at this stage would rather kill and defile everything on the planet (effectively splitting the baby) in an effort to feel like they have more of everything than their neighbor.
