Never apologize for bringing Tool back to hear it again. 😉

[@EiriUesugiKun]

This is such an powerful live performance. One of the best, if not the best. Another great reaction! Thank you. :)

[@CaitlinElizabethReed]

I have always love this specific performance because of the way Maynard mirrors the emotions of the song through his body language. You are the first person on KZbin that I’ve seen make an actual commentary on that link instead of just immediately react with “Oh, his stage presence is weird!” My favorite thing about Tool is the feeling and experience you get from their music and live shows. Great video and insight!

[@amandanicholson7444]

TOOL!!!! Hello my fellow TOOL Army brother and sisters! I LOVE the Reading cut of this! Maynard gives a show we have NOT seen since the likes of Iggy and the Stooges! EVERYONE else who has tried that has failed, Maynard just brought it, NEVER trying to imitate it!

The head and chest voice he has is amazing, when he blends, CHILLING!

Don't know how I missed ur reaction to this for so long. I know what u like and knew Maynard was gonna blow u away

[@adamflint7049]

I gotta tell you...I am a huge Pearl Jam fan and enjoy all of your reactions to that band...but all of the other videos that I have watched with other bands have been spot on as well. The different things you hear than any other makes everything much more interesting. thank you Sir for being original and honest

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Thank you for the encouraging words Adam I really appreciate them. I've always said this channel would be different, because I will always be honest in my reactions and reviews. Sometimes, people don't like hearing honesty...but it's never steered me wrong before. Really glad to hear you're enjoying the show.

[@Randaddy25]

Ive seen these guys 4 times. EVERY time was such an amazing and mesmerizing experience! If you have the ability to go see them, do yourself a favor and do it! You wont be sorry!

[@vividangel]

As a performer I recognise that place, it where you are on stage, but in your hole being your back in that dark place where the lyrics come from. I use to be able to do that too in my art work and it a power place to be, to face your demons on stage. After you feel free of it all, so great to see you really get that. Rock on.

[@adammcneelam]

Remember when Maynard kicked that dudes ass on stage, and never missed a beat singing?

[@Ionic-ww5fm]

Tool at the glass house ‘95. The entire show.

[@katenone5562]

I was so excited when I finally got to see them- I wish I got to see the Maynard from this show, instead he performed behind a screen on the side of the stage for most of the show with acrobat above the stage- the band sounded great, but I get what you mean when you talk about stage presence and how it effects a show. This is a great performance and a good review.

[@motionshadow]

Oh now you've done it. First Pearl Jam and now TOOL. I'm already a subscriber, but it's now come to my attention that I've yet to click the bell until... now!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Not gonna lie....when I saw your first 5 words "Oh now you've done it"....I felt like I was about to be scolded. I was literally thinking "Oh no what did I do now?"

[@MultiKartr]

Did you notice that Maynard never blinks through the whole performance

[@brucenadeau5920]

What more can you say? Maynard, Adam, Justin and Danny are BEASTS and MASTER musicians ALL around? It's hard to find a band in the last 25+ years who can complete with them... Everyone else who's come since just sounds like a rip off of TOOL even when they try NOT to be? One CANNOT play Progressive Metal and NOT end up sounding like TOOL somewhere! lol

[@brucenadeau5920]

Two of the highest scores I have seen from you David have now both been TOOL songs... I think the TOOL Army NEEDS more LIVE TOOL from you! lol

​@@THEDavidHeretic Even when the 1st season of The Real World started infecting the channel is still wasn't so bad; still had mostly music. The new millennium really ruined it. I have to admit to watching TRW though. It was something no one had done before and was sort of interesting and then, like many things, it became a plagued "3 ring circus sideshow of freaks..." lol.

Maynard's character IS a character, MEET "Jimmy"!!!! They also did a song titled "Jimmy", and a few songs outside "Jimmy" touch upon that character. Prison Sex touches upon the character of "Jimmy" as well. "Jimmy" being a play off James, Maynard James :)

[@deryk3017]

I disagree with your comment on the bassist playing. He is playing all 4 of the strings, it would be hard to do that with just the wrist. I have played this, not professionally or anything, but you need to move your hole arm to get all the strings to ring out like he is.

[@pjsebadoh5412]

Good Lord is right... this performance hits me in the gut, and the mirror 😔

[@StoneShards]

Cool split grading idea! It does give the opportunity to mix in more of the "sour" into the "sweet", that IS David Heretic...hehehe...adding sour to the sweet gives you "tangy"...Doesn't the BOTTOM half of your grading scale feel a little...lonely...? "I wanna know what a two is...I want you to show me..."--Foreigner...mostly...

Exhibit A… nuff said

[@StoneShards]

I get your "persona/song tie-in", but I disagree that his posture is a disadvantage to his projection. Try it! I see his posture as liberating to his breath! And I always have to trust a singer to adopt the posture most efficient for the moment's musical articulation...some of that efficiency is psychological, and unique to each performer. Joe Cocker springs to mind...

[@ricardoaguirre7694]

Sorry David....but I have to disagree with you.... I thought the score should be 9. 1....Maynard vocals and the band, complement each other perfect...(still an awesome reaction....cheers !!!!)

[@uzurpon]

Check out a cover of this song by The O'Keefe Foundation. Performed by kids under the age of 18. The vocalist is a young girl Kala Rose. I believe she was about 14 or 15 at the time.Not sure. Its amazing. The O'Keefe Foundation has made a lot of covers by different artists the last few years. Such as Tool, Muse, Slipknot, Ozzy, Black Label Society, System of a Down, Rage Against The Machine and many others. They have their own KZbin channel. Worth a look.

[@juliandelassalas3889]

My question is, what is a 10/10 vocal performance if this is not one?

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I actually don't give 10's. 10's signify "Perfection", which means there's absolutely no possible way it can be worked on or improved upon, which means there's no further need to strive to achieve a higher level. The second that happens, the artist stops growing and becomes stagnant. I will give 10's posthumously to artists who are no longer able to improve and work on their craft, like the day Eddie Van Halen passed away. However as long as the artist is alive and is able to work and create and improve upon his/her craft...then perfection should always be the goal, but never truly be achieved. My own personal philosophy.
