Tool - Schism | My REACTION (First Take)

[@aN1njaKyzerz]

Fun fact, Danny Carry used to let Tool practice in his "studio" and he felt bad for them b/c their drummers kept flaking out or quiting, so he filled in and stayed. Also, Tool and Rage Against The Machine used to have MAJOR jam sessions (Danny's place) b4 Rage became a band, Maynard used to co-vocal/write w/ Rage as well... it's Awesome you saw the connection between the bands w/o knowing any of the history.. Good on you!!

[@beenperv]

Also Adam Jones and Tom Morello lived together and grew up together before either were the guitar gods they are now.

[@fasteddie617]

That's awesome.

TOOL are just on another level, it's not easy to understand them, maybe you have to listen to the same song a lot of times, but one you get it, the world will open in front of you, keep going to new tool songs♡

[@DusteyeMC]

seen them live 6 times and yes, they can sound that clean live as well.

[@Micruv10]

Just for some reference with the counting: the verses are counted as a bars of 5/8 and 7/8. This song has a TON of time signature changes and syncopation. Especially during the bridge. All three of them are playing in different time signatures that line back up after a certain number of rounds. Fits into the concept of miscommunication.

[@Thecrooms]

Here is a great car song for you it’s “Passenger” by the Deftones ft. Maynard

[@hyfurobot]

Nothing better than being on a road cruise smoking a blunt and listening to Tool on blast in the car, god damn phenomenal.

[@Shawn-my2fn]

I could not agree more.

[@AYVABTU001]

The reason I like this type of music as opposed to others is because it's like looking in the mirror and a window at the same time. In the mirror you are forced to examine yourself and see all of your own imperfections and hopefully realize that not only that you need to improve but more importantly, that you can. Through the window we see the world around us in all it is and in all in can be, which in turn better helps us understand it. Other forms of music are purely about imposing your will. Which I see no value in, other than understanding that this is the crux of what some people want from life.

[@MilkHound]

If you want too know something about Tool's popularity? This song came out in 2001. It got played twice a day on the pop radio for my area. It's nearly 7 minutes long. It won the Best Rock Performance Grammy in 2002. And yet, for most Tool fans it ranks around #10 for their best Tool song.

[@killakaminski]

Yes, they are this good live, if not better. A live TOOL show is a spiritual experience that simply cannot be explained.

[@e.paradigm7415]

You completely nailed it! I went to a TOOL concert and there is some strange connection between you, the music, the artists and the crowd, shit.

Also, there’s a reason he’s called the octopus, he plays like he’s got two sets of each limb each with individual brains, making him the greatest two drummers alive lol

[@stephengarvey509]

There is like 47 time changes in the song.

[@TheBlackQueen]

You mean 45 and 2?

[@AtticsTV]

It's surprisingly one of the easiest songs to deal with the timing though when playing. The largest amount of time changes are just the same 5/8 into 7/8 riff through the verses. If you think of that as a syncopated 6/8 riff then there actually is very little time change going on (relative to that 47 times). Still phenomenal though.

[@stephengarvey509]

@@AtticsTV I know i play it on guitar and bass. 😄

[@TheBlackQueen]

@Jeff T Schism is one of their easier songs, but Tool are by no means "Prog for Normies", of which I assume you mean they aren't that progressive. The way they arrange their songs and albums go beyond just being super technical and complex, no hate to Dream Theater, but Prog doesn't just mean complex virtuoso instrumentation. Otherwise, Pink Floyd and Genesis wouldn't be considered some of the greatest bands in the genre. Prog simply means to progress past the norm of music structure, usually with influences of classical music and derivatives of Art rock. Lateralus, as I'm sure you've heard, was constructed in a way that paid homage to the Fibonacci sequence, while the underlying messages of their songs and even some albums tend to follow patterns regarding a particular concept in a way that differs from your typical concept album. Ænima is largely based around concepts of Jungian psychology, as well as the interpretations of monologues from Bill Hicks. Lateralus also holds the triad conspiracy regarding the placement of the tracklistings, in that rearranging them can make the album flow smoother, as later named "The Holy Gift". Furthermore, the themes of ones evolution of the mind have evolved throughout each album. Undertow shows the human at it's barest and most natural traits. Ænima Introduces the concept of evolution and mysticism. Lateralus puts such concepts to the test, eventually unlocking the secrets of the mind. 10,000 Days is a reflection of the life left behind, as one begins to notice humanity for all it's deepest faults. Fear Inoculum allows the mind and spirit to become one as a newly envolved being. Admittedly, this is specifically my own interpretation of the progression, but there is a clear pattern and constant change moving throughout, as helped by the music, artwork, videos, and lyrics displayed throughout each album and song. This is 100% a Progressive feature and the need for overly complex instrumentation is not necessary, nor the point. However, if you want to talk about that aspect, then look no further than the rhythm section. Danny Carey, as most would agree, is quite possibly the greatest relevant drummer alive today, while Justin Chancellor's bass playing is like no other in the way he can achieve his sounds and melodies. Adam Jones may not be the most talented shred guitarist, but he, like David Gilmour, experiments with his instrument to achieve unique sounds and guitar tones. I will say, off all the members, Adam is the most "Normie Prog" of the four, but combined with the rest, they are a truly unique band.

[@dangerkeith3000]

@@AtticsTV That's how I always play it on guitar. And if you find sheet music for Danny Carey's drum parts, they write it out as a 6/4 riff and put the 2 bars together. It's annoying having to read a new time signature in each measure and doesn't really help with playing.

the part at 12:19, if you listen closely you can hear that its fast groups of three. his hands are hitting his toms in unison on the 1 of the group of three, and the 2-3 is on his bass drums. toms-bass-bass-toms-bass-bass-toms-bass-bass repeating. the sticking would be, B-RF-LF-B-RF-LF (both (hands), right foot, left foot, both, right foot, left foot, repeating).

They sound incredible live. You've reviewed several live performances so far. It was over a decade between the last two Tool albums. They write and perfect all of the music first and then Maynard writes the lyrics and vocals. It's well worth wait and the cost to see their artistry live and in motion.

The drummer is the one who made it that difficult. Him and the guitarist. The bassist comes up with the groove, and the guitar player and drummer take his groove and proceed to make it super complex. Then the singer waits till they mostly finish the song and adds his vocals.
