TOOL - Stinkfist | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@JuanLoco-xx4yg]

That "borderline of what"? Had me cracking 😂😂 but I think we were all thinking the same thing.

[@mikethemotormouth]

💪🏽

[@lperea21]

Mexico... Definitely 😁

[@mgtowmichigander5528]

Ask Maynard James Keenan, ‘What are your priorities?’

[@RobKernKnowsNot]

Same! That look she gave us! Hilarious!

[@JuanLoco-xx4yg]

[@subliminallime4321]

I remember when MTV used to play this video they called it "Track #1" instead of "Stinkfist."

[@twenty1thirteen]

Totally forgot about this lol!

[@syntheticsleep]

I had a cd, wish I still did, it was some kind of radio promo version of the album with only a few tracks. This was on there and was also labelled "Track #1." Bet that thing is worth a bunch of money now.

[@DomLab-g2n]

Yep lol 😂

[@sonnysmith3244]

True, and now everyone is desensitized to everything and it’s just called “Stinkfist” now. Very meta.

[@Erickson1971]

the meaning of Stinkfist by Tool: In one way or another, it's about desensitization. It uses the sexual act of “fisting” as a metaphor, “turn around and take my hand”… “finger/elbow/shoulder deep in the borderline”… “this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to”. So to answer your question, no your dirty mind wasn’t playing tricks on you!! 🤭

[@noGodsNeeded]

"first fingers... then knuckles ... now elbow deep" 🤣🤣🤣 It's all those smutty books you read 😂❤

[@Andrus6262]

¡¡¡¿¿¿Borderline of WHAT?????!!!! 😐😑😐... AJAJAJAJ!!

[@Wilem35]

Tools guitarist Adam Jones also worked as a Hollywood special effects artist and did the videos.

[@markhope1998]

7:24 “Borderline of WHAT?!” LOL

[@carbon1479]

7:36 - I don't think it's mixed signals, it's a both-and.

[@RobTonge80]

I mean, yeah. F!sting is a rather extreme act, and a perfect metaphor for overstimulation. It is the obvious double entender

[@SteveReddington]

BISSCUTE, I love your reaction to this! Thank you!!

[@mikethemotormouth]

5:55 Adam Jones. Not only does he do designing of miniatures, stage props, etc. as he did for the movie Jurassic Park, he's also their guitarist

[@OO-tc3wx]

I vaguely remember an interview with Maynard James Keenan back when this came out. He related the music of Tool in general to the sexual act of fisting. He said something like, "That if you just relax... listen... and give in.... then I think you will really enjoy yourself".

[@marcguidetti3081]

Tool’s guitarist Adam Jones does all the animation for their videos. Adam also did a lot of the special effects for the movie Terminator 2.

[@Levi-ou2zm]

Oh my favorite track! Definitely a double meaning on this one “turn around and take my hand” lol. Love the dark and dramatic tones. Adam their guitar player is the video mastermind. He use to work on movies like Alien for example.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

He's obviously singing about puppetry! 😅

[@horizonblack]

"This makes me do the snake!" Bwahahahahaha

[@alexkenley1]

LOL your suspicions are confirmed 🤣

[@aldoushuxleysghost]

I remember my mom HATING it when I'd play this song. "Borderline of WHAT!" Was also her initial reaction. It is what you're thinking, but he was using it metaphorically

[@shangobango77]

Your personality makes these reactions great. As for the meanings of the lyrics, I think it means whatever you need it to, at the time you are listening.

[@msmilder25]

the music video was directed by the band's lead guitarist Adam Jones

[@ivanprezas1587]

One of the sickest head banging songs of Tool absolutely lovely ❤

[@stinkfist9848]

Tool Army is back for your great reactions

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@Reigninsuds]

dude you're killing me lmaooooo my favorite reaction to this by far.

[@morgand1]

Every time i see someone reacting to this song, i have to watch it lol. Your reaction was the funniest by far. Thanks for the laugh 😊

[@OVDOVG01]

I absolutely love your reaction 😂 NASTY TOOL

[@doorofnight87]

Enjoyed your reaction! Its an engaging song to listen to, and the video is cool. I think the double entendre is definitely deliberate.

[@sheldondyck8631]

Boredom’s not a burden anyone should bear.

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

But I bear it every day 😢

[@Cable2k]

It is definitely A ... B is the Metaphor! Great reaction!

[@echtautuus09]

Yep being desensitized and as a result people will tend to push the boundaries in order to feel because it's "not enough" and his wants transcended into a need like a luxury turning into a necessity (to breathe/feel/know I'm alive) as the chorus suggests. Great reaction, laughed out loud with the "Borderline of what?" So funny! 😂

[@sicko_the_ew]

I think Tool came up with the ideas for the videos. As in they made their own - animations or clay animations included. (Or maybe it's CGI). From what I recall they were involved with not just the musical, but also the visual side of videos and performances. It's part of what made so many fans fanatical about them. They attended to every detail.

[@nondescriptcat5620]

"relax, turn around and take my hand." he knew exactly what he was doing. Adam Jones, their guitarist, directs most of their videos.

[@cmanayf4354]

My current favorite hard rock band. Thx Biss! I love this band. And, they are very very good live. Rock on everyone!

[@max2244ful]

Tool - The Grudge. This song is a opener song from their album "Lateralus". For me is the best opening song from their albums. Great reaction as always Biss😉😉

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@danielwolski873]

Yes! This song is about what you think it's about.

[@Redline-99]

Thank you Biss! great reaction to a great song!

[@cerebralfailure8804]

the official music videos are usually always Adam Jones' (guitarist) concepts and work, he was a special effects artist with work in several movies when Tool took off

[@VSMM]

My favourite song of one of my favourite bands, Tool is just something out of this world ❤🤘🤘

[@raulquintana3361]

"I'll keep diggin till I feel something..." I think this is key of the meaning of the song, it's someone who can't feel anything anymore and he try to feel again

[@CarRamRod-i9o]

That's why it's called stink "fist" lol.

[@johnnyb6067]

I always say this song is about social media before it even existed.

[@SeeksTheTruth101]

Adam Jones does most of the video work. He is an exceptional sculpturaist.

Rob Halford of Judas Priest once said that if TOOL walked into the room, you wouldn’t recognize them because they never appear in their music videos

True, but ever so briefly in the Sober video

Hi lovely Miss Bisscute, loved your reaction as usual, great choice👍

[@andyb7638]

Always trust your instinks with tool. You’re great!

[@matiasvega3256]

The idea for the video and art is from the band's guitarist, Adam Jones. Before playing tool he worked doing special effects in movies like "alien" and "terminator". The idea of the lyrics is about unsatisfied desire and constant searching. Lack, desire, topics addressed in depth by Lacan.

[@josephputz2964]

I saw an interview with Maynard, the singer. He said the song is about the compulsive need for various stimulation -- including the "Dirty Thing". 😆

[@thefutureistubes5838]

There is a video of a live performance from 97 that my absolute favorite version of this song

[@stephentrager3147]

Most important, I'm so glad you enjoyed the music.

[@wayne_w5892]

Hello Bisscute. I would definitely recommend Tool’s song AEnima which is the name of the album this song is on. There is a clean version here as well as a lyric unrated version too.

[@russellpippin550]

Imagine hearing this on release for the first time… so happy but confused 😂

[@Brandon_Beaty]

Lovely reaction, Biss. I appreciate you coming back to TOOL. The lyrics definitely have a sexual nature to them, but in a metaphorical way to illustrate how many people become jaded and numb throughout life. They will then thrill seek in various ways to "feel alive." Holding on to curiosity and wonderment as you get on in life is a noble goal that will imbue some splendor and joy. "The world is awful and everybody sucks." is the mantra of the old man yelling at kids to stay off his lawn. My view anyway. 🤙

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@melcoats9696]

Great reaction, love your accent. As entertaining as the music.

[@gansitopetersen6484]

You know, and we know that you know 😉

[@matttyree1002]

All I can say is bravo. You perfectly understand both the surface level metaphor of the sex act but also the deeper metaphor of over stimulation numbing of our culture. And this came out in the 90s. I'm glad that these songs are timeless enough to carry that message

[@xtldc]

A KZbinr named William Maranci made a mashup of this and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and it totally slaps - and I’m saying that as metal head who never listens to Taylor Swift’s music.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

The first few times I heard this tune, it was mostly on while I was doing something else and not listening to the lyrics. One night I was laying on my bed, stereo cranked just playing this album. This song came on and about 1/3 of the way through it started dawning on me what it was about. I sat up. Re-started the song and was like WTF?! 😆

[@TrentonHawk]

You yell out "That's cookie jar" out of nowhere. lol, made me laugh.

[@cashjames7]

Justin chancellor and Adam jones have some of the best rhythm sections in music period

[@johlbenedict4960]

It's metaphorical and literal of taking the hand to stretch your senses till your numb of anything else but the stretching 😂😂😂

[@johlbenedict4960]

Relationships drugs sex anything

[@richardd7750]

My favorite Tool's song. I think some lyrics of the song are inspired by the sexual practice of Fistf*ck. In a metaphorical Way. The video was directed by Adam Jones, the Tool's guitar player. That is where the ideas come from. Great reaction as always.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

1:27 Perfect! Much better than basing your interpretation on what you're looking at

[@zzz7zzz9]

the name of the song explains it all.

[@daviddodd7581]

Thanks again Biss for introducing me to another new band [Im just wondering what rock i have just crawled from under?] To be honest it was ok the video was dark but put together well I'm just not to sure about this song. Again i probably need to listen to something else by them before passing any judgment.Great reaction from you as always♥

[@SmileRodger]

Hey, Bisscute, check this out. I'm kinda fan of a Tool, and recently again sucked into Stinkfist. Especially in climax and guitar riff. And usually i go and see on KZbin how people react on a song i like. Imagine my surprise, when i saw your new video! Nice timing) I'm not a subscriber, but saw other your Tool video. You are great!

[@SmileRodger]

And yes, this song is a metaphor, in which fisting is used like an example of getting hooked on a pleasure.

[@MiguelRamirez-u1b]

Bisscute, the guitarist is the director and creator of the video

[@williamburton307]

Thank you for the TOOL !

[@wickedPrints3256]

Everything you are thinking is correct.. and the fact that he needs more and more stimulation to feel anything is sad.. But it happens

[@Brosati68]

[@Tateorsomething]

[@mikethemotormouth]

Yesn't

[@jonathanbouthillette753]

yes but also no

[@shangobango77]

Exactly.

[@DomLab-g2n]

No they are about what they talk about. Lol. There is no deeper meaning.

[@HohnerCornell]

For me, top 3 by them.

[@bsquizzle100]

😂😂😂😂😂 It is supposed to give you “mixed signals” It is just clever writing. I think Maynard once said it was about a spiritual awakening process (like a lot of Tool) which one can see in the writing too if you’ve ever gone through it.

[@luistennisonsalas3964]

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

I love your reactions. I have been a subscriber for some time now. Yes it means just exactly what you think it means. You are such a sweetie. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a bit of a dirty mind it's in all of us.❤

[@LihpSdnas-pv1hs]

Im here for it

[@tankosaurus]

Yeah, you got it. It's about being so desensitised to everything that you feel the need to go more and more extreme just to feel anything at all. It's a metaphor but quite a... let's say... a strong metaphor, haha I knew this was going to be an interesting reaction, haha. And now I have a morbid curiosity about what smut books you're listening to...

[@jmcr7f]

Nice, a cookie Jar, check 46 &2 & Vicarious🤘🥳

[@lateralus9244]

Maynard is talking about the various stages of "fisting" (hence, the moniker: "Stinkfist") but it's merely to serve as a very powerful, very graphic, metaphor to show what is happening to us as we engage in constant overstimulation. You got the meaning; you just got confused because the dialectical imagery was to mostly serve as a metaphor. Well, done! 👍👍

[@simonfrederiksen104]

7:45 * Laughs so hard it's borderline crying *

[@jameswalker3855]

Great song! Loved it when it first came out. Love it still! It's EXACTLY what your dirty mind thinks it is. But, he's trying to be "romantic" about it. For some reason, this song is pretty popular in prison. Go figure! No, I'm not an inmate but I am a Corrections Officer and this song is played regularly at the gym.

I think that choosing option 'b' would necessarily lead into pure absurdity, which is why option 'a' for me would be the much more obvious choice, at least assuming that they wanted to say anything somehow meaningful with this song... ;)
