Directed by Camella Grace in 2007

[@sirjammer]

going to really show my age here. back in my younger days there were these audio/visual creations called “rock operas” The Who had Tommy and Quadrophenia. Pink Floyd- The Wall. the Beatles-yellow submarine and so on. I think Tool could make an epic rock opera!

[@dachshund_gaming]

I honestly think they’ve been working on a movie for all these years, that will coincide with the release of their new album. I hope it’s all CG or animated trippy stuff.

[@nasalegoboy]

Don't forget Dark Side of the Moon was quite a show

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Their latest album is f****** killer, fear innoculum just blows the mind.

[@Arkadia1009]

You watch documentary to learn about band. You clicked on this, don't complain that it's boring.

[@johngavin1448]

preach.

[@HELLCHILDFAN101]

is not boring cx

[@InternalMind]

The people talking about things you already know about are boring.

[@Physionic]

Learned something new in the first 60 seconds.

[@Sandlotd]

While some may find this boring, I have always wondered about the people (artists) behind the scenes that created this wonderful video. Thanks for posting.

[@itswhatyoumakeit6950]

Wow, see, a true friend WANTS you to make your dreams come true rather than selfishly trying to hang on and keep for self.

[@frownyclowny]

why is everyone saying this documentary sucks? I'm 15 and I grew up listening to tool, APC, and puscifer RELIGOUSLY. i went to many concerts and I watched their music videos many times. its very interesting to see the thoughts and creators behind them. they arent boring, your just not open minded.

[@carissag.barnes8251]

its really fascinating just how complex the video creating process is and all of the professionals that come together to create what we enjoy in Tool videos.

[@darguxx]

How can you guys call this uninteresting? If anything it adds more depth to see their crafts and sculptures and to hear about how their artistic society congregates and how they collaborate with other visual artists.

[@asht0n785]

They want power chords to the FACE MAN!!!😂

[@bencampbell498]

They journey of the shallow mind need no snacks

[@joshkelnhofer5454]

I knew once I saw Bobby the Brain Heenan talking at the beginning that this was going to be good.

[@ericmoody1356]

That's so funny, I thought the same exact thing.

[@hushjohnny9543]

It's one thing the music is like NO other...the art and visual that Adam and these very innovative teams of minds puts SO much thought/vision, and technology into the their music videos for the ARMY, and i'm sure for themselves is truly incredible. "Hell I cant even attempt to put this into words"... (it blows me away). Adam and these people are on to something FAR, FAR beyond anything we've ever seen and experienced EVER! Having just seen this tonight has made me sit back..scratch my head, "(not really being to explain what the hell I just watched). Thanks to whomever is responsible to bring this all to a life fan. To be so extensive for the bands vid's is truly way ahead of this century's time! I'm so tired i better stop now before I put my foot somewhere I don't want it. Adam and all the rest.....thank you. TOTALLY amazing. I will always listen/watch and try to understand a lot differently from here in. (did this make ant sense)? Somebody...somebody please let me know. J. Detroit. ................"DAMN!" ")

[@learrus]

Really enjoyed watching this as an artist, for all the insight into how the big shots get it done...

[@soakedbearrd]

Adam Jones is a vital part of the puzzle that is Tool

[@TheBlackswanwhite]

i think they are equal

[@0452514]

Cheers buddy. Greatly appreciated

[@Rdgcan]

Thanks for posting!

[@santigabriel333]

When music, art, film, and poetry come together in union witht eh universe you get a tool music video

[@stringchange]

loved it.

[@MegaDaniboy1989]

Long live visionary artists.

[@scaryreptile]

if you find this video boring just check out alex greys talk at the last 7-5 minutes that probably to most interesting part

[@HAL-dm1eh]

+scaryreptile I'm glad I read this because though I'm interested I just can't get past the first few minutes in with this first guy.

[@chriseggers689]

ScaryReptile yes

[@InternalMind]

It's still very boring lol

[@shiva004]

love tool!!

[@ZachHixsonTutorials]

Honestly, I'm excited for the new videos almost as much if not more than I am excited for the new album!

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

By the time it comes out the concept of a "video" will be obsolete

[@Madbulli]

amazing band

[@satevo462]

I have a signed copy of Alex Grey's painting behind him and 2 books of his artwork. Transfigurations and Sacred Mirrors. If the house burns down those are the things i'm grabbing.

[@barakat5782]

Need more of it.

[@julianferran1794]

I believe the art concept of the spirals and the heads is a ayahuasca trip, it looks so well detailed :')

[@TheCache187]

i'll going to see them next friday.

[@diamonddragonplays4500]

javier cruz how was it?

[@zackraider3528]

Cool. didn't know Chet Zar did stuff with Tool. His art cracks me up.

[@jasonmyers4528]

I'm pretty sure Chet zar is the artist that tried to sue them claiming he's part of the band. Dude still trying to make money off of tool

[@loyaluwang4228]

Interest and energy

[@adityatyagi4009]

Anyone interested in the spiritual concepts expressed in Tool's music should look into Hindu metaphysical concepts of Brahman, Indra's Net, and karma/reincarnation developed through the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. Namaste and good luck.

[@Deathworg1]

Thank you! Finally someone with a brain.

[@dogwithplasticwheels5476]

Those last 40 seconds were so freakin' cool

[@Musistics]

You're all these people aren't you Adam?

[@kennethjones3947]

There's so much imagery incorporated into tool videos that I've seen before. The subject matters are deeper than they are letting on I assume. Just a humble opinion from a fellow artist.

[@Muzikmylife27]

guys he reason why they're boring is because they work behind the scences. never see cameras. duh. this is their job in priduction and they told you it. i enjoyed it because as an engineer/fan its dope to know scratch to release

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

PHENOMENAL

[@anagennao]

hahaha, I like how he specifies at 33:20, that it was "down in Brazil"

[@julianferran1794]

Well for legal reasons it should be noted that it was in Brazil or inside the Amazona because Ayahuasca is legal right there only if it was prepared by a Shaman and if you drink it in the tent they provide

[@devolucionario]

Adam Jones is the human version of Chewbacca....

[@VonneDutch]

it's his teeth

[@JonathanNiday]

Adam Jones is a genius

[@rocknrollboise]

Long-hai Pham aka "Long High, Fam"

[@Musistics]

😍

[@robbyunderwood6896]

Adam reminds me of a Tim Burton character.. Awesome

[@branimirmarold7343]

Bill Hicks respect!

[@anthonycomparato2365]

Beatles is LSD images Tool is DMT images

[@masterroshi5573]

you're dumb

[@SeanyKrabs]

The Beatles are terrible; almost no musical depth

[@BigWaterFrog]

Where can I find the original video? Was this sold somewhere?

[@rubaidaallen2764]

It's on the dvd for Vicarious 😊

[@MadCircle01]

chet's a badass

[@reaton33]

i'm curious as to what the booklet of short films is that the guy at 22:05 is talking about?

[@clarkn8307]

FUN CLUB

[@WeRWun]

i get the feeling Tool had an influence on the computer game "Doom"...or maybe the other way around!

[@Muzikmylife27]

+Andrew Geiger you mean adam?

[@WeRWun]

Cydney M his artistic side may reflect that, yes. good point.

[@Muzikmylife27]

glad i could help you. cheers

[@WeRWun]

cheers indeed. you reminded me that adam also did work on makeup and sets for jurassic park and terminator 2....two movies i've loved since childhood :)

[@Muzikmylife27]

oh relaly? i iddnt know that! thats interesting. do you know the scenes?

[@gregspace2]

Fuckin awesome

[@theknowerandtheknown]

We need some big movie producer to make an up to date documatary

[@dpepper5150]

I wonder what the bizarre short films were that adam had

[@pawelptk3343]

Quay Brothers movies i suppose, Street of Crocodiles for example.

[@dpepper5150]

Wow! Just watched! That violin was on point! Real eye opener! Thanks a lot bro!

[@Keepmelevel]

I’ve been abducted by the TOOL mother ship since 91 and become a better person because of it!

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Indeed 😌

[@bencampbell498]

Word

[@laplegua6268]

alguien lo tiene subtitulado?

[@cr-nd8qh]

Mushrooms had to be an influence

[@SickTwistedQueen]

LMAO Nearly everyone in the video is so out of it, especially Yamada. Were they all interviewed at 4AM?

[@willebuoy3636]

They're all artist/musician/visionary types, you can't expect em not to be at least a little bit high.

[@lightshifty2358]

2:47 FAILURE! That's Troy Van Leeuwen's old band!

[@big12madbuddas]

"BEWARE OF ATTACK CHICKEN"

[@maershkinschrabs7597]

Wow so much deep and meaningfulness of trivial life shit coated with sound sequences and frequencies. Music is the most valuable most important thing in life, where would civilisation be without it? The toyota corolla couldn't have been achieved without music. absolutely amazing powerful shit..... but then again the Quran is pretty spiritually deep and meaningful and has lots of real life uses too. life is so mystical in a hollywoodesqueue sort of way.

[@maershkinschrabs7597]

the good ol wood and strings, thudding platform and mammal vocal projection is everything life is..... glad I'm not simple minded to know this.

[@BubbaGump7854]

+Maershkin Schrabs jeez man chill

[@noahtaylor4585]

there was an earlier leaked version of 10k days that was the original slower speed of the recording. The worldwide release was actually sped up an upped the actual tone significantly which was terrible imo. The original version of the record was slower, deeper, and much more tool sounding than the final poppy version of songs like the pot where his voice is much higher. Listen to it again knowing this and you can hear it immediately.

[@HELLCHILDFAN101]

Noah Taylor the vicarious song in the first 5 min sounds difrent and that makes me to belive yes i see it coulda been darker but were can we find this leak album?

[@kevinwheeler5595]

You are not in the band. You don't know anything for fact and are simply guessing

[@paullayfield]

@@kevinwheeler5595 yeah I doubt that they would change a whole album or a song if that's not what they wanted considering their writing process & the amount of time & detail they put into their stuff

[@MasterAlucardGV]

is the thing in the thumbnail a tool pizza?

[@strarfishalbum6364]

MasterAlucardGV ha ha ha ur so funny, shut the fuck yo

[@OneDayOfPiece]

@@strarfishalbum6364 relax bro 😭

[@briandenapoli3250]

Guy at beginning was bobby the brain heenan wtf

[@pushingupdaisies4878]

Why does everyone from the west coast speak so vaguely about anything they talk about?

[@tarrasque419]

What an uninteresting documentary. Holy shit.

[@paulstone670]

+Jimmy Jamestown Massacre Agree.

[@kaamos79]

+Jimmy Jamestown Massacre This is how CG and production design are... I'm not sure what you were expecting.

[@trident1872]

If you are bored, it's because you are boring.

[@jamesyelverton5065]

loser

[@miky8788]

probably , like me , you are expect a documentary about Tool.... last minute are ok

[@leedabagia1]

The glowing icon in the bottom right is unnecessary and distracting. I came here for TOOL, I don't need the product placement. Can someone remove it? Please?

[@MichaelMagill1990]

Lee Dabagia Lol, really now...

[@lovethesideways8]

+Michael Magill Tool fans... Pretentious pricks. So needy.

[@nuke97]

Adam Jones looks a lot like the boy from the animated Frankenweenie movie.

[@THERAMMSTEINFAN490]

Am i the only one who is astonished by the poor level of the animation jobs?

[@RogerEssigArtist]

+THERAMMSTEINFAN490 yes

[@THERAMMSTEINFAN490]

0.0 wot

[@damionchrist]

+THERAMMSTEINFAN490 Where's all of your "groundbreaking" animation that puts this stuff to shame!?!? yeah, exactly.... If your animation reflects on your taste in music judging by your screen name, let the dream DIE!

[@lightshifty2358]

The were going for that lo-fi quality look just like all their music videos, making it look grainy makes it darker and eerie.

[@kevinwheeler5595]

That is the point

[@samuelsara9299]

Sorry. Pretty staunch fan here, and I found this tedious and pretentious. Just as bad as listening to someone drone on about cars, or about their Disney vacation, or new baby, or whatever.

[@elliotterodriguez]

explore the very little things to the fullest of your understanding yes pretentious I know but when people say things like that their not trying to sound smart their just trying to find meaning in a life so fucked up you may think it's horse shit

[@breezyamar]

The video for Vicarious is really bad in my opinion.

[@bloodysabbath1984]
