TOOL - "Schism" REACTION

[@Msatty3]

Be careful of scammers offering rewards in the comments. Kathryn Layne Reacts does not offer rewards.

[@ChemoJunky]

Or genuine reaction, respectively.

[@smilerpink]

Thanks for posting this. Scam reply to my comment below offering “reward” if I responded on a social media platform. The contact there misspelled your first name (“Kathyn” instead of “Kathryn”) which confirmed my suspicion.

[@see_horse]

[@willfromyadkinville]

thank you! this crap has always bothered me lately!

[@MegaForrestgump]

@@see_horse No way!!!! XDXD

[@RoadLessTraveledMedia]

as an old hat tool fan, I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you do first listens to any tool song from the studio. They hyper produce their sound intentionally, and generally a stadium/concert venue will not translate nearly as well. Do check out concert performances AFTER hearing the recording, but you really need to experience it the way Tool intended before we add factors like crappy sound recording in a huge venue, which tends to dilute the fidelity. Tool concerts are a spiritual experience, but you really have to go to appreciate it. Just my two cents :)

[@Kwigs_kun]

100% agree, very rarely would I recommend doing a live version for the first listen of any song. But ESPECIALLY for Tool.

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

As their drummer answered when asked how he remembers what to play: "I just listen to what the other guys have created, and then I practice for the next 14 years."

[@RunawayOcelot]

Pushit from Salival is the exception to the rule imho

[@BoolFalse]

​@@RunawayOcelot pneuma too

[@primemover1416]

​​@@Kwigs_kun Xanadu by Rush from Exit: Stage Left being another one of those very rare exceptions, of course. 😎

[@jeffchappell8859]

I love watching people discover Tool! Congratulations! You just figured out why they named the band Tool!

[@farn451]

A coming together of 4 of the best musicians in rock. Danny Carey is the greatest living rock/prog/metal drummer pound for pound, Maynard's voice is sublime, Adam's guitar is always inventive and serves the song perfectly and Justin's bass is, melodic, filthy funky at times and just rock solid. One of my favourite bands. Seen them 3 times and each time I'm left utterly speechless.

[@davidward9737]

Always do studio version before live version. I whole heartly agree. Also Kat was feeling very low energy today, until I watched your reaction. You always bring the ginseng

[@gilhuberman261]

I love Tool. I love reaction videos. I love that you dance to "undanceable" music. I love that you do the studio versions. everyone does the live versions. either way follow your gut , because it translates to great content. Thank you

[@qostka]

So may masterpieces from Tool.. Every single track is worth digging

[@washitokusei6801]

"So pretty" is probably all you need to describe this song. It just is.

[@johnseward2934]

Tool has a very special ability to bring you on journeys and meditations. Perhaps their most colossal and timeless tracks for this is listening to Disposition+Reflection+triad together. They are three tracks thst are really one combined experience.

[@beguile302]

100%!

[@joeyattaway756]

I remember seeing Tool in Birmingham during this tour.. it was raining cats and dogs. Our sleeves and shoes soaked. Noone left and.Tool rocked the house perfect sound in what equaled to basically a small hurricane. It was an amazing experience

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Here for TOOL! Greatest band ever!

[@BetterLifeInc17]

Love the reaction - Tool is in their own category. My favorite track is "Vicarious" - highly recommend 👌

[@2Quietus]

Your after the song ends reaction is why people who have listened to TOOL since the early 90's watch these reactions: to re-live that first time experience of having your fucking mind blown completely off your shoulders. You did not disappoint!

[@mikewold8996]

That shit rocks!! Tool is the saviours of metal! Beautiful music!

[@chrisgibson1934]

oh you get gotta love Tool.

[@donrodztx]

It's called "ascension"... lol. I feel it every time I listen to them as well. And yes, headphones are ideal with this band because of the panning left to right that surrounds the listener. Enjoy.

[@kevinblake839]

Tool don't so much compose songs as weave sonic tapestries from another dimension. They are truly unique and a genre unto themselves. Amazing band.🤘

[@greggladson8127]

Studio versions are generally the way to go because all of their albums are engineered masterfully

[@donrodztx]

Here for the TOOL reactions. Keep them coming!

"Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion" You're going to love Lateralus, The Grudge, Aenima, Third Eye etc.

[@quikstik7059]

Your reactions make me react. I've listened to Tool since the 90's... they're "Timeless."

[@Jason-yy8os]

That's tool been a fan since 2000 they never let you down ever every album is perfect

[@herrkrash1980]

Your reaction is so much like mine was back in the day, I am so greatful to relive it trough you!

[@josephberg1586]

"It's Pretty" when the drop & change hit's. For all you musician's, drummer's, guitarist's, bass player's. All the time you put into practicing, all those hours. BAM !! ;-) All worth the blood, sweat, and tears. "It's Pretty" Then ask her if she'd like to have a cup of coffee or dinner. Huh? Huh? See?

[@dcinsc]

Thank you for listening to studio recordings.

[@BreinGames]

I’m with you on studio recording vs live recordings. Always better to hear the studio version first. If you hear a live version first, bands will often times make changes to sound and tunings. So when you finally hear the studio version, it’s quite different. And it’s not the song you initially heard. That being said, I always prefer live recordings. The way they evolve a song. Often times for the better. But always hear the studio first.

[@cikame]

I think the only band i prefer live is Porcupine Tree, studio versions are still great but they become more of a band live, less production.

[@natejames6867]

Classic 70s rock will take you on a mental journey. Great work.

[@jamesnewman9547]

Spiral out! Random Tool react tips: - Whatever you do - don't do an official video of theirs, unless you've already heard the song. The guitarist directs them, and they are artistic, but they are also very unsettling and distracting. - Headphones are a huge plus, as are lyrics sometimes. - Finally - there are a few songs that are intended to be played one after another. Whoever is assisting you with the song selection will probably know this - but jic - be aware and do a quick search to make sure. Technically many people play the cleanser song before this one - but it's not really important. Others it is. Parabol/Parabola should be played without a delay between. Wings for Marie 1&2. Lipan Conjuring + Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned(you aren't likely ready for this one yet) Loving the reacts!

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

Definitely like I said before. Studio versions always before live. Definitely

[@bloukoei2]

One of the hardest switch ups in any song, TOOL or otherwise

[@wjc6]

I went to two venues in Massachusetts to see this tour in 2001. I bought the seats I could get but I found great vantage points in both and loved every second they played. Someone commented on the spirituality. Dead on! No other way to put it.

[@da9pauly]

Tool takes you on a journey when you listen to Tool. You will Spiral Out 🌀

[@louiefrancisco4897]

Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)

[@smilerpink]

Your first comment after the song’s sudden ending was dead on. They draw you in and take you on a journey. That journey unfolds on multiple levels simultaneously. Primal, primitive, visceral with pounding rhythms and loud metal. Also travel in the spiritual realm (“meditative” as you said). Intellectual too with the addition of lyrics. Thought provoking, challenging assumptions about reality as we know it. I am discovering and delving into Tool too right along with you and responding similarly. You have reacted to one Tool favorite of mine (The Pot). Great intro to the Tool experience.. I don’t think you have reacted to my other favorite “Pneuma”-which I think is brilliant. Great example of the multi-layered journey. Thanks for doing these from a happy subscriber!

[@NASkeywest]

Doing reactions to Tool is the cheat code to become successful.

TOOL = when I need to focus but have some distraction that pushes me through and that is a sin I just said.. their musical construction is above top shelf. ... .. I've listened to TOOL over and over and I discover something new every time. Danke, Love, for the reminder. ... .... ... im gonna now spend three hours not working on spreadsheets. Peace. Love.

[@RealDrumPyles]

With Tool especially its good to do the album version. They don't have live recordings and also their music videos would just bring confusion.

[@iceman45ification1]

You need to listen to Parabola. My favorite song from that album and it's the only one with a regular 4/4 beat rather than the odd timing most of their songs have.

[@thisistheyear99]

Really enjoying watching your Tool journey 🙌🏼👁🌀🌀🌀

[@alexfrank6534]

Just for reference there are Tool songs that must be done together, intention/Jimmy. Parabol/parabola, Wings for Marie1&2, Reflection/disposition/triad, Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned,…. Maybe a few more…but these are the main ones. Don’t split these up and do them as one reaction. Otherwise you will rob yourself of the total experience as well as piss more than a few zealous followers of your journey. Great video :-)

[@Maorswan]

Love your reactions. I could totally see what you "understood" right there at the end. Gave me chills. I think you've done the mainstream Tool, now you should give a try to some long complex stuff, I highly recommend 7empest/Descending. You will be in a primal space. Absolutely phenomenal.

Great call, not wanting to do a reaction to the live stuff. But, with that being said, the Salival album is an absolute must listen. I highly recommend Pushit, Third Eye, and No Quarter.

[@timlarosa]

You are absolutely doing this the right way now. Stick with the headphones and stick with the studio mixes. There's a level of detail and care put into their mixes that are pretty much unparalleled.

[@theig298]

Don't bother with the live ones, except for Danny drum-cam and Sober live. Studio albums is where it's at for Tool. Unless you're committed enough to go to a concert. That will be the most amazing experience you'll ever have 👍

Nice catch on the bass. Justin plays so far down the neck at times it's hard to tell where Justin ends and Adam begins. That and they'll trade off rhythm and melody sections. Same goes for Danny. Keep diving!

[@Alexander-su6tc]

Pls react NF with how could you leave us. That song is amazing

[@curtisbailey78]

Honestly I think the studio recordings are the right way to go with most Tool songs, at least for listening to them for the first time. Their records tend to have really fantastic audio engineering and a lot of that subtlety gets lost in live performances. Tool is a great band to *see* live, but just listening to recordings of their live performances is not the same thing.

[@MaciekKleczar]

Always studio version before live. But you have to do live eventually, it is whole new experience. They do rearrange some of their songs live and it is awesome, Schism is one of them. You can check it here for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXerfqyOZrV0aq8
