Tool - The Patient 2001-09-21 Mansfield, MA

[@Dean1234563]

Does anyone else tear up when they hear music like this.

[@StefanG5]

Yes, along with a few shivers

[@1rk1n]

I'm soo appreciative for people uploading live stuff. I'm only just now discovering tool, and definitely tear up hearing this. Especially having listened to it 10+ times in a row. Tool, just wow....

[@stewartsanders2511]

Dean1234563 here's you're answer 😭

[@liveactionlink8736]

Gives me goosebumps every time but Wings for Marie makes me tear up for sure

[@smrtn240]

only when maynard sings if there were no rewards to reap....

[@nickzav]

I love how Adam always just stands there like a soldier, totally badass just let the music speak for itself.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

He says he's usually busy counting so he doesn't mess up. :) Wouldn't it be hard not to get entranced by Danny's drumming?

[@youknowhuwitis]

@@MaynardsSpaceship imagine stepping into Adam's shoes as the guitar player and the first time you play with them you have to try and focus on what you're doing with the sound of Danny fucking Carey on the kit behind you.

[@darkySp]

And Justin is hunched over his bass, humping it like a tribal madman

[@zj3211]

Yes. He said in an interview that people were mad he didnt jump around......his response was dont come to our shows

[@NegativeCreepYT]

I think it's cool. On the FI tour, the videos that are out there, in one where they play Pneuma in Budapest, Adam plays the intro just standing there with a red beam of light and he looks so fucking cool, like the fucking boss.

[@lainesanta5626]

The way he belts "I must keep reminding myself of this" just hits me so hard, I can't help but tear up

[@monafaye6063]

Those octaves he reaches in this lines shakes me to my core! I’m glad I’m not alone!

[@danieldouglas4211]

Me too

[@sethwiles7002]

Probably the most underrated tool song.

[@cassiuscarter2832]

Agreed dude, this song is ranked towards the bottom in Tools catalog which is absurd to me. Rosetta Stoned is another massively under rated song in my opinion

[@noirjakey]

this song doesn’t get enough love and attention it deserves, definitely one of my favorite TOOL songs

[@stoneshitcrayz4867]

Definitely my favorite song but I’d have to say intension is the most underrated

[@DjSnipaZ]

Probably my favourite Tool song

[@DivineFrequenC]

​@cassiuscarter2832 The bros are on the money with these comments, The Patient is perhaps my fav of all time, Rosetta Stoned will creep up and floor you, the transitions and progression of that track is exceptionally talented and inspiring! This track right here is classic Tool. Emotional, up down journey always marching toward its peak, dark to light genius.

[@Surferboi1997]

MJK moves around the stage like one of Adam's claymation figures.

[@kreep182]

I absolutely adore this song in its entirety, but the openning riff in particular is so haunting. Adam Jones is truely a master at what he does.

[@jamesmarsh3687]

I saw someone say recently that Adam doesn't write riffs, he creates ambiance. Perfection.

[@Davidjon1946]

Maynard still always looks like he mastered the surfboard in a different dimension and just now shows off

[@gr7927]

Hahahahhaah fucking hilarious

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

I can't even articulate how deep in the feels this hits me.

[@im_in_immense_pain]

Lol everytime i go to the comments on a Tool video, you are there. And i love it lol

[@BlueHopi144]

its deep , down the rabbit hole of the soul

In every single song, to be fair, jajajaja Spiral out, people!

[@brandondash]

The end of this song gives me shivers.

[@TheLittleMJPuppet]

brandondash Totally agree. It brilliantly captures the feeling of Hope and Perseverance.

[@nickson1431]

This was just following 9/11, you can almost feel it in everyone's effort. Never heard this song live, one of the masterpieces. Although, at this point I just think every Tool song is better than every other Tool song.

He is weeping in the voice. So much emotion. And Danny is Fantastic.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

Yes, that's what it is. The desperation. Thank you.

[@cassiuscarter2832]

MOST critics have this song ranked very close to the bottom amongst Tools catalog. I think they haven't heard it through loud enough because this song is a top 10 for me for sure, so fuxking good.

[@parkerdavidson5868]

It's my #1 personally

[@DrCrowie]

Don't know what critics your talking about, but to me this track embodies everything good about Tool and pretty much represents their entire palette in one song

[@EnthalpyH]

I thought Lateralus all the way through was phenomenal, but I can see why people would put "Triad" on the bottom of the list. I like the song personally, but I can understand if people felt that song was repetitive if they've never listened to Tool before.

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Badassed performance. All members of the band are firing on all cylinders

[@mattwilhelm7024]

This might be my favorite song of theirs live... It moves me...

[@NC96000]

5/4 for the win!

[@nathancozad4494]

I've been getting into odd times and been practicing to a 5/4 metronome on my FACGCE tuned geetar. Always thought this song was 6/4 but was counting along the other day and was like "oh shit no way" and had to look it up on Tab pro to confirm. Yeah this is some great use of the meter. Holy heck

[@cynzia_d]

This song is written probably thinking about Maynard James Keenan's mother Judith Marie, who suffered a stroke in 1976 that left her partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. She thought it was a test from God and thought that she would be rewarded for her faith. It's a play on words because it can also mean his mother being the patient of medical care. This song, more in general, is told from the perspective as someone who has struggled to deal with his mother's or loved one's declining health. No matter how close they are, I'm sure the situation weighed on him HEAVILY and made him want to just give up hope.. "if there were no loving embrace to see me through, I certainly would have walked away by now" meaning he is probably just tired of his mother suffering, and if she weren't so loving, he probably would have walked away. But, he remained patient and cared for his mother until the very end (10,000 days after her initial medical issue... get it?). This is the possible interpretation but there is much more. "If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now. And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may." You are close to someone you love who is struggling with health issues and you need to remain if there is still Hope to heal. When He sings "i must keep reminding myself of this" He repeats it a lot of times until his voice becomes a sigh, this is fucking painful, you can feel the despair in his voice, this is a brilliant way to add meaning to the words. I feel this song is very sad. His voice is full of drama and pain. He sings like having tears in his throat, like a suffocated cry, never heard so much pain, He seems like a bird in a cage struggling to Fly away like a vocal coach once said. It has a development, in music, very strong. The beginning is pretty dark, the bass riffing is very obscure and his chant is so melancholic ... then the guitar solos after the bridge are mindblowingly heavy , same for the ending part and then again is darkness. It is a portrait of a very inner painful state of mind.

this is the most sentimental song, sometimes i cried while listening to this

[@joshuacaldwell6687]

Not just my favorite tool song which is saying alot but my favorite song. This song gets me pumped up and emotional at the same time plus it really hits home

[@oobyjosh]

my mom passed about 2 months ago from a stroke that left her completely paralyzed and mute. i had listened to tool before but not too in depth. only knew popular songs like ‘46 and 2’ and ‘the pot’. but influence from others has made me dig deeper into their discography. this song perfectly explain how i feel. i am so glad i found this band.

[@ccc17219]

My condolences for your loss. Strokes leave people with the most difficult injuries. I know what it’s like to not be able to have the conversations you both want to have because they can’t communicate their thoughts. I only knew maybe three songs until a few years ago, 2019 fear innoculum got my attention then I dove in deep. Everything about these artists’ musical composure makes me feel more alive, more present, less numb. Almost wish I knew of tool when I was younger but the timing of discovery in my life is just right. Enjoy the spiral of discovery and healing. There’s nothing like really hearing and understanding tool for the first time. We’re glad you’re here 🔧

[@9lakota]

i love how maynard is able to present that he is so effortlessly providing some of the best vocals i’ve heard ever.

Went to their Fear Inoculum Tour in Nampa,Idaho, on January 13th 2022, First EVER TOOL CONCERT, best concert ever, heard this song live, it was amazing. And incredibly loud due to be VERY close seats to them as well! But was worth it! Even got the official art concert poster for that show! It’s beautiful! 😮‍💨 for 23 years old, that’s a night to remember! I feel old now…

How has no one mentioned this concert was held *10 days* after 9/11. The emotions were elevated to a point never seen before. It makes this performance that more exhilarating to listen to.

only maynard james keenan is majestic enough to sound better in live performances. He puts us in a trance because he goes into a trance. I watched him perform "The Noose" live on Halloween night in San Antonio. He fell on his knees and was swaying hypnotic like ...there was so much emotion ....RAW emotion...it was unbeleivable...quite literally.
