Another reaction video, in which I listen to Pushit (live version) for the first time ever. Thanks all for lots of engagement under our videos, responses will come :)
love how he’s respecting your intelligence and being gentle, like he’s not breathing down your neck and explaining the song meanings or telling you how to experience this. he’s offering you the space to find your own center in these reactions. that’s more rare to see than it should be. nice vid both of y’all
Yes. Tool has kept me alive and feeling something since the mid 90's. I am so grateful that I get to see more people claim the benevolence and beauty of MJK and Co.
When I was younger I had different feelings and interpretations of this song, but then I experienced a co-dependent abusive relationship and the lyrics cut straight to my heart. I think it's pretty clear what the song is about. IT's a very strange place to be. Feeling pity, love, and fear for the same person. The lyrics are so powerful in conveying just what it feels like. The justifications "you pushit on me, but you still love me". So many amazing lines. "I feel alive when you hold me.....down" the line feels beautiful until its resolved with the word 'down' and then its twisted. Then of course the ending is so powerful "if when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay, you minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way, there's no love in fear". It's that desperate attempt to leave and do what's right for both people but being unable to do so without hurting the other. Basically saying I can't stay in this without dying...and the partner saying I don't care I need you to stay with me, and realizing there is no gentle or peaceful way out. There is only survival, and that forces me to be the bad guy to get us both out of this pain. "Remember I will always love you, as I claw your fucking throat away, you leave no other way, this will end no other way". Powerful.
Years later, I still find myself amazed by his vocals in this. And the way he starts off weaker/softer and then as things progress he has so much power in his voice. Perfection.
What about this version of the song? It's just an unmastered jam, a pile of tortured ideas taken from the very great song. Sorry guys, I really love studio Pushit from the very first to the last note. And Live Pushit feels wrong all the way through, it's just bad. E.g. Pucifer does great job remaking and rearranging their songs, so I'm very open-minded towards such things.
@@AlexpPresley701 I definitely prefer the studio version more. It actually guided me through my devastating divorce many years ago, along with Puscifer's Potions, playing many times a day. The live version is spectacular, just not the better one to me.
@@AlexpPresley701 I've never heard someone say that. That's quite interesting. Personally, I love both versions. In my opinion, the studio version captures the raw pain of the situation, while the live version explores the healing side.
1998 was the prime of Maynard’s voice and you can’t tell me otherwise, I prefer his voice during the Lateralus tour in 2001 but in terms of vocal ability he was at his peak during this performance
Sometimes your just not ready for tool and then suddenly it all clicks into place and your left there kicking yourself thinking why didnt i get this before now. I think you may be living that moment. Enjoy =)
This is actually the one live version of a Tool song I actually like better than the studio/original version. Tool army follows along with anyone who takes the time to EXPERIENCE them...almost like it's us discovering them for the first time again. Keep 'em coming. Oh, if no one has told you, stay away from any Official music videos from Tool. Waaay too distracting, especially for first time listeners. Lyric videos are fine. Enjoy the ride and continue to spiral out.
Love to see people experience Tool for the first time. Subbed. If you like live stuff like this song i would highly reccomend their song You Lied. Keep it up you two good stuff.
I think this about the good and the bad in all of us. The Angel on one shoulder,Devil on the other. Both pushing and shoving me! The battle with one’s inner self.
She’s Gotta do ‘Pneuma’ studio version and then the live version Drum cam on Danny Carey! New subscriber by the way and I think what y’all are doing is absolutely awesome!
I really like the way you don't intrude into the songs and really appreciate what you are listening to. This is probably the most refreshing thing i have watched on you tube in a long time. its also extra special that you have chosen to do this with my favorite band. its a pleasure hanging out with you as you discover this music. It feels like the cool kids have invited crazy old uncle over to play some music, and the cool kids discover that crazy uncle is not so crazy after all....keep discovering Tool.
Thanks for good words. We love this analogy with uncle :) As for interrupting on other channels, i think (him) it's so they can avoid copyright claims so if they make their living off CZcams I can understand that (although it is sometimes tiring / annoying unfortunately)
Love how you 2 compliment each other & share each other's thoughts. Awesome reaction! So stoked tool decided to share a melodic soul moving side to this song.
"Resonates" is the word you are looking for. Love the channel so far. Glad to see a couple speaking intelligently about the band. Tool's got the best catalogue in music, hands down. You're going to enjoy falling down this rabbit hole. Prepare yourself for Wings for Marie 1 & 2. They're gonna get yet feels going.
Pushit "The Fan" version on You Tube is the best version imo, it's not great audio quality, but you can still tell that the singer is belting it to the full extent while also sitting on a person that jumped onto the stage trying to hug him. Truly epic. (Video is a must, you see the guy get on the stage, and then the singer takes him to the ground, get's on top of him, and continues to sing this song, and the lyrics take on yet another meaning)
Tool...no other band like them. Love, love, love this reaction. 🖤 This song is about a love/hate relationship...holding onto an abusive partner. Subscribed.
This genuinely brought a tear to my eye... just seeing you truly enjoy this music. It's beautiful, and I am happy you're being shown these songs by my favorite band
This was my first tool concert..! June of 96 in red rocks Colorado.. when this album came out years later I couldn’t fucking believe it..! Been a huge fan ever since..!
You guys are fantastic! I loved this experience of discovering Tool so much that I want to see it over and over in others. You guys are top of the list so far. Right in Two and Wings... please
I love how you can see that the tribal drums in this version of the song can clearly be seen as inspiration for one of their later songs, "Right in Two" (my personal favorite Tool song). Phenomenal reaction! I love how you incorporate both your raw emotion and real-time reactions to the amazing music while also delving deeper intellectually.
Love your reaction. Close those eyes girl, feel it. ☺ This is the best version by far, way better than studio album. Maynard's voice is so smooth... like butter. "There's no love in fear!!!!!"
Also the name of the song is a play on two phrases. “Pushit” is “push it” on me and “push shit” on me which both play into the message of the song. Great song!!!
I was at this concert. Over 2 nights they played every song they have except two interstitial tracks. They had a bunch of guests and did a lot of covers. I did not realise this was Pushit for a long time.
Enjoying your Tool reactions. There is a decent live recording of this song on CZcams - 1998 Lewiston, ME. I'd suggest watching it, the audio quality isn't great, but watching Maynard perform this is mesmerizing.
I've known this song for many years, but I've never heard it like this. Very powerful indeed. Your reaction videos are very genuine and nicely done. I do hope you have Wings for Marie in the queue, but a little back story is quite helpful on that song duo.
On point . I've never seen 2 people feel like I do but vocalize it as clearly . You must know but another Maynard James'Keenan band is A Perfect Circle , and also Puscifer. Somehow even though they are different sounding somewhat, esp Puscifer they all grab me differently but equally. You guys rock. Greetings from Quebec Canada
Your reaction at the end is my exact reaction to this song... and I've been listening to it for 20+yrs!! Though the studio version is heavier and more aggressive, this version is 10 times more powerful!! esp with Maynard's vocals, as an instrument in its own right, seamlessly guiding you throughout the journey of this song
Keep up the good work guys. I really enjoy this style of format, where you play the song through then talk about it after words. Looking forward to when you get around too Wings for Marie.
There is a live version of ‘Sober’ from early nineties that a lot of reactors have used that is good quality and is the song/video that start many reactors on their Tool journey.
Basically the songs about an abusive relationship he's had enough but she begs him to stay time after time its a very complex song but the lyrics tell you everything 👌
If you like his voice, you should look in to the live Puscifer album “What is...”. Specifically Mama Sed and Monsoons among others. You will not be disappointed.
people ask my favorite Tool song ....it's so hard to decide, but honestly if i really consider it ...this is it. I think I might like the original better, but this version is absolutely amazing.
The song is about Maynard getting abused by his father! The song is a more reflective extension on from prison sex which is about the same thing! Maynard is coming to terms with what happened to him through the music....its his catharsis!!
Great reaction, I can tell you’re becoming a big TOOL fan. I feel like the lyric video is slightly off. To me it feels like he’s singing “you steal of me, you still love me”. Keep it up!👍👍
Do his song sober live! And yes I've seen him numerous times and he sounds just the same live as he does on album thats why Maynard is so freakin awesome!
@@initum1599 lol sorry I just checked out your channel and saw it! I really love how you take notes and break down your thoughts on each of his songs. Most reaction videos nobody is doing that and I really like your break downs of each piece!
love how he’s respecting your intelligence and being gentle, like he’s not breathing down your neck and explaining the song meanings or telling you how to experience this. he’s offering you the space to find your own center in these reactions. that’s more rare to see than it should be. nice vid both of y’all
Great choice of words my friend. You explained exactly what I feel about this channel.
Chill out bruh, don't need to over analyze everything.
Zak Smith lol u wut m8
Rowan Kace why are you trolling on a 6 month old video???
What makes me happiest with all of these new Tool reaction vids is the fact that the Tool army is growing...... exponentially...... spiral out world 🌎
Yes. Tool has kept me alive and feeling something since the mid 90's. I am so grateful that I get to see more people claim the benevolence and beauty of MJK and Co.
Right, I've noticed how many hip-hop guys are falling in love with Tool. Their brilliance is undeniable.
When I was younger I had different feelings and interpretations of this song, but then I experienced a co-dependent abusive relationship and the lyrics cut straight to my heart. I think it's pretty clear what the song is about. IT's a very strange place to be. Feeling pity, love, and fear for the same person. The lyrics are so powerful in conveying just what it feels like.

"That voice!" - low key me everytime
TOOL is a once and a life time band like Floyd and Zeppelin. They really don't have a bad song.
What about... no, you're right.
What about this version of the song? It's just an unmastered jam, a pile of tortured ideas taken from the very great song.
Sorry guys, I really love studio Pushit from the very first to the last note. And Live Pushit feels wrong all the way through, it's just bad.
E.g. Pucifer does great job remaking and rearranging their songs, so I'm very open-minded towards such things.
Chrome 52 this is my favorite song of all time. That’s just our opinions though

I don't Normally agree with doing the live version 1st but this was fantastic, I think she may be starting to fall in love with Tool now lol
tool is a religion and every song from them is only a new gospel for the believing toolists...
"Right In Two"
"Jambi"
"Pneuma"
"Lateralus"
"Wings for Marie" pt.1 & "10,000 Days" pt.2
Jimmy
Solid list
Add "H" 😆
1998 was the prime of Maynard’s voice and you can’t tell me otherwise, I prefer his voice during the Lateralus tour in 2001 but in terms of vocal ability he was at his peak during this performance

My favorite song, both versions. Like you two said, the lyrics, Maynard’s voice and the music all speak together, powerful message.

Once you jump in the TOOL rabbit hole,you’ll never want to leave,great reaction!
"H" has to be the next one.
Yes!! And then Schism after that :)
H is beautiful
It's on channel already. Amazing song!

Awesome reaction! So stoked tool decided to share a melodic soul moving side to this song.
Yes this version is more powerful..... I suggest “reflection” next?
Yeppers! She’s getting many request for Reflection, I can’t wait!
Yup. I think you finally got her hooked on Tool
Subscribed to watch you go down this rabbit whole to wonderland. ✌
Same
Great organic reaction hope the army decends on your channel and by the looks of it we are here.
"Resonates" is the word you are looking for. Love the channel so far. Glad to see a couple speaking intelligently about the band. Tool's got the best catalogue in music, hands down. You're going to enjoy falling down this rabbit hole. Prepare yourself for Wings for Marie 1 & 2. They're gonna get yet feels going.
i cry every time i hear this song. SO Amazingly powerful!!!! And so dark as well! Just brilliant.
I understand that. Lateralus. "....or whatever will bewilder me." My eyes get a bit upset even typing that.
I'm probably not the first to state this but this is what a toolgasm looks like. 🤘
Pushit "The Fan" version on You Tube is the best version imo, it's not great audio quality, but you can still tell that the singer is belting it to the full extent while also sitting on a person that jumped onto the stage trying to hug him.

"third eye" by TOOL off their "Salival" album is another perfect audio live song. Beautiful
Please show her the Sober live concert
Great reaction Thank you !
Whoever is behind the camera should come on camera! You guys have great chemistry
That ending was like a knock-out punch to your senses. Like you have been beaten up musically and loved every second of it.
Theres no other band that can perform live like Tool.. Its an experience every time, so lucky to see them live in Sydney again just before covid...
Parabol/Parabola. You'll love it. ✌
I have seen that song bring people to places they never thought they could go listening to a song and I'll leave it at that
Tool...no other band like them. Love, love, love this reaction. 🖤 This song is about a love/hate relationship...holding onto an abusive partner. Subscribed.
I'm here for all the tool! Keep it up, love your reactions!
This genuinely brought a tear to my eye... just seeing you truly enjoy this music. It's beautiful, and I am happy you're being shown these songs by my favorite band
beauty, anger, depth, love, fear are what you should expect from this song.
That was the most beautiful experience watching you and listening to your reaction! It absolutely matched the passion of this masterpiece!!!
Thank you for this beautiful honest reaction - this is my favorite Tool recording.
This was my first tool concert..! June of 96 in red rocks Colorado.. when this album came out years later I couldn’t fucking believe it..! Been a huge fan ever since..!
Not only a remarkable song, but a truly remarkable, and emotional VERSION of the song; TOOL really outdid themselves with making this live version...
That was quite moving to watch. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights with such a powerful rendition of a truly epic song. Subscribed.
I’d love to hear a reaction to one of the new songs. Pnuema! And then The Grudge
I was just thinking of Pneuma!
Invincible or 7empest are also very good.
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for a great video with thoughtful analysis.
You guys are fantastic! I loved this experience of discovering Tool so much that I want to see it over and over in others. You guys are top of the list so far. Right in Two and Wings... please
Love these reactions hope you guys grow like crazy
also you guys should look at the other pushit as well they're different enough to enjoy both
We just did, checkout new video :) both versions are absolutely brilliant!
Was awesome thank you
I love the claps then the whoa and exhale. You need to see them live.
I love how you can see that the tribal drums in this version of the song can clearly be seen as inspiration for one of their later songs, "Right in Two" (my personal favorite Tool song). Phenomenal reaction! I love how you incorporate both your raw emotion and real-time reactions to the amazing music while also delving deeper intellectually.
They aren't tribal drums exactly, that's an indian classical instrument called tabla
loved your emotion and honesty. i just gave you a sub and you are right its hard to find this emotional ride live. watch sober he will get you there.
Great reaction. Subscribed and waiting for Pneuma
Love your reaction. Close those eyes girl, feel it. ☺
This is the best version by far, way better than studio album.
Maynard's voice is so smooth... like butter. "There's no love in fear!!!!!"
The night i saw them do this song in Dallas was amazing.
Austin. Like a quarter mile back, but it still kicked me in the teeth, and I asked for more.
Also the name of the song is a play on two phrases. “Pushit” is “push it” on me and “push shit” on me which both play into the message of the song. Great song!!!
I was at this concert. Over 2 nights they played every song they have except two interstitial tracks. They had a bunch of guests and did a lot of covers. I did not realise this was Pushit for a long time.
Loving it!
Enjoying your Tool reactions. There is a decent live recording of this song on CZcams - 1998 Lewiston, ME. I'd suggest watching it, the audio quality isn't great, but watching Maynard perform this is mesmerizing.
It's not the one where Maynard ends up grappling with an unruly fan while singing, is it?
@@mischageorgevich2582 Different one
Theres a recording of that entire gig on toolarchive its amazing just a headsup
SOBER, is a must very great song.. i agree the live version of push it is a journey.. Tool itself is a journey, glad to be watching your journey..
I've known this song for many years, but I've never heard it like this. Very powerful indeed. Your reaction videos are very genuine and nicely done. I do hope you have Wings for Marie in the queue, but a little back story is quite helpful on that song duo.
I loved watching you love that song
Love your channel
No Quarter off this live album is also very good.
On point . I've never seen 2 people feel like I do but vocalize it as clearly . You must know but another Maynard James'Keenan band is A Perfect Circle , and also Puscifer. Somehow even though they are different sounding somewhat, esp Puscifer they all grab me differently but equally. You guys rock. Greetings from Quebec Canada
More TOOL. 🤞✌
Disposition/reflection /triad please....if she doesn’t like it call me out for it....I dare you....please
Call you out? Shit, she’s gonna send you a Christmas card! I mentioned it as well, she has no idea what is waiting for her ears.
Your reaction at the end is my exact reaction to this song... and I've been listening to it for 20+yrs!! Though the studio version is heavier and more aggressive, this version is 10 times more powerful!! esp with Maynard's vocals, as an instrument in its own right, seamlessly guiding you throughout the journey of this song

Keep up the good work guys. I really enjoy this style of format, where you play the song through then talk about it after words. Looking forward to when you get around too Wings for Marie.
All men are not created equal. These guys are better than most.

Prepare to be enlightened....tool army
Basically the songs about an abusive relationship he's had enough but she begs him to stay time after time its a very complex song but the lyrics tell you everything 👌
Welcome to the sound that is TooL. The army has your back while you experience the spiral. It's up to you where it goes. Welcome.
Slowly opening the windows to her own soul. Buckle up, buttercup!
great reaction guys
If you like his voice, you should look in to the live Puscifer album “What is...”. Specifically Mama Sed and Monsoons among others. You will not be disappointed.
This is my favorite TOOL song
10/10!
Yes there is a story behind this song. The story about relationship between Maynard and his mom
Such a beautiful song about ♥️♠️
This live version just hits different
I still can't believe this was how voice live.
10,000 Days & Wings for Marie
❤️❤️❤️
10:40 Don't know if you noticed but Maynard actually sings some of this on the INHALE.
She would abso-fucking-lutely love No Quarter. Guaranteed.
you are so very pretty... congrats on that girl
Beautiful reaction. I look forward to your others, especially Tool. New sub. Spiral out!
Hits you right in the face.

What I meant was I've seen Tempest take people to places they never thought they could go listening to a song and I'll leave it at that
I fuckin love your videos!
I think one enjoys the Salival version more after hearing the studio version.
Welcome down the rabbit hole. Spiral out
Great reaction, I can tell you’re becoming a big TOOL fan. I feel like the lyric video is slightly off. To me it feels like he’s singing “you steal of me, you still love me”. Keep it up!👍👍
Those of us that can relate could never have relayed our feelings quite as well.
Do his song sober live! And yes I've seen him numerous times and he sounds just the same live as he does on album thats why Maynard is so freakin awesome!
We just did.
@@initum1599 lol sorry I just checked out your channel and saw it! I really love how you take notes and break down your thoughts on each of his songs. Most reaction videos nobody is doing that and I really like your break downs of each piece!
textbook TOOLgasm....
Please react to original studio version of Push It. They are totally different from one another.
Agreed. The studio version is like the raw hurt, whereas the live version is the healing.
@@gowsif_dnb Nicely put. I concur.
