    One of my favorite Tool songs of all time. Your take on the "He had a lot to say" section was interesting. I take it to mean that the person he's eviscerating believed he had a lot to say (and probably was very talkative), but none of it was important or of any value("He had a lot to say. He had a lot of nothing to say.").

    Bill Hicks was a stand up comic that would open up for Tool until he died of cancer. What a beautiful sentiment to write and perform this song very often.

    I wanna say I was 16 or 17 years old when I first heard this song. My brother bought me the album for Christmas about my junior year of high school . . . . in any case, I loved it on whatever level I could understand it at the time. And the beauty of Tool for me is that like most music it will take me back to a place or an emotion, but then as I age I can revisit these and dive deeper and hear new things every single time. No other band has accomplished that for me on this level . . . a joy to watch you experience it. Thanks for sharing all these.

    Also, as a guitarist, I appreciate how you give Adam credit. Most people, especially guitarists, overlook Adam Jones, because not flashy. He’s a basically texture artist. That not only applies to how he plays guitar but in much of his regular art that he creates. It’s very rich. He’s very good at creating ambience and his rhythm is quite percussive. Usually Maynard, Danny, and even Justin get the accolades. It’s nice to see someone constantly praising my Adam!

      "He’s basically a texture artist" is such a great way to describe him, at least to my non-guitarist ears. Tool is a big part of me, and this album was my first entrypoint to the band when I was a preteen. I worked my way backwards from here, and then forwards when Lateralus came out, and forward still. Texture is such a nice one for what the musicians of Tool do, and even for what Maynard does with his voice across all these albums. Between their naked ability and the distortions and sounds used in the mix!

      @@Trepanation21 that’s the same way I found tool. I was 17 just starting senior year and was already into grunge and metal and really all rock music. Then a friend of mine who was like 2 yrs younger(who always got the newest music and much that I never heard of probably because I didn’t have cable/mtv) let me borrow this cool band called tool; a little cd called aenima. Instantly hooked; as if I found something I didn’t know I was looking for. I worked my way back to undertow and opiate; saw the. In concert a couple times and then a few years later Lateralus came out. I still consider Aenima their best ALBUM .Lateralus has a bunch of legendary singles and the whole album is good, but when it comes to a complete piece of art Aenima is disturbingly haunting; like a cold wet thing. Lie I said I might be biased since it was my first tool album and sort of set the tone for what I think of when I think of “tool.” Undertow was probably one of the best first albums ever made. It’s extremely mature for a new band. Lateralus of course is considered their magnum opus by most and their subsequent albums are all freaking great. But Aenima is what an album sounds like when a band is still hungry. Before they blow up completely and start reaping the benefits of their success. There’s something really honest about it. Even undertow wears its influences pretty openly but Aenima is sort of the stepping stone between mild success and the commercial success they attained by Lateralus. I could go on all day about it so I’ll shit up now!😅

      notes (like the musical pitches) on lyrics "you claimed all this time that you would die for me" show up at beginning of the track, as everything builds upon itself, but before the guitar distortion enters. that's all megaphone. "tool tabs" community figured this out early but it's also very easy to play on the guitar.

    I remember when I was 18 waiting for aenima to be released in 1996. Bought the album, listened to it, then took it back, and asked for my money back. I was too used to the punk rock element of opiate and the heaviness of undertow. Aenima just sounded like noise to me. Then lateralus came out in 2001... I went to the show at the Phillips arena in Atlanta and realized just what a fool I'd been. I've since been on this journey with 7 tool concerts 2 perfect circle and 2 pucifer shows, and 2 pilgrimages to Jerome Arizona( i like wine). I'm just writing all this to say that not a single song has gotten old, and you should listen to H next :)

      For me it's a sarcastic look at leaders who pretend to sacrifice themselves for the people beneath them or their followers but have no interest in doing so "you claimed you would die for me", the people can't live without someone to follow so as each pretender is replaced they find the next "fool martyr" to hang on the cross, the symbol of making a sacrifice, the sarcasm comes in because they're wasting their time doing this instead of solving their own problems "you must be crucified for our sins and our lies".
      It's not necessarily about religious groups or cults though the song makes those references, the message could be applied to any self serving leadership figure.

    By only listening to one Tool track at a time -- and making a big deal out of it, not only for us but for yourself as well, you are doing a really smart thing. I think it's part of the reason you love the band so much -- you don't miss the awesomeness of each track. For me, though, since the Aenima album, I have had that kind of anticipation for each new song that gave me a similar experience with each new album. Except Lateralis. It took me a few years honestly before I appreciated the awesomeness.

    Keep listening to this one and I promise it will be in your Top-5. It just gets better every time you hear it. FYI...The tink-tink-tink-tink sounds at the beginning of the song were created by Adam actually picking his strings behind the bridge of his Silverburst Gibson Les Paul. That same picking pattern is used throughout the entire song in various keys. Ultra creative!!!

      I think he is up to owning 18 of the original 1979 Silverbursts which Gibson says only 150 to 200 were made.

    One of the best tracks they have. Back in the 90's it was rumored that this song was about people who are egregiosly full of themselves; and specifically about the failed relationship with Henry Rollins.

    Do some research on the band - find out a little bit about Layne Staley in particular. Then, with that information in hand, and understanding where he was along his path to an untimely demise…
    React to the MTV Live version of “Nutshell” - there’s meaning to be found there if you’re into finding that type of thing….

    With Pucifer, start with "The Remedy" or "Bullet Train to Iowa". These songs are a good gateways before moving into their more experimental work. They cover many genre's and lyrically can go from sarcastic/comedic to deep/confusing. Maynard sharing vocals with Carina Round is something you will really like. And Mat Mitchell is an amazing musician, composer, and producer.

    This was the track that hooked me on Tool back around 99 when I first heard it. Friend of mine said “check it out, and see if you can make out the whispered lyrics in the middle of the song”. I honestly will never love a band more than I do Tool. Always epic, and always pushing musicianship forward.

    This song is about Bill Hicks. A great lost stand-up comedian aka philosopher who passed. They also used Bill's routine as an intro to the last song on this record. Some say Andy Kaufman or L Ron Hubbard
    Updated: I missed all of it!! It has been but my own interpretation is was about our beloved Melvin and I never took the time to look or seek further. Thanks genuinely, for helping me see this more clearly!! 🤘🖤

    • @ev6808
      @ev6808 Před rokem +6

      Just because Bill Hicks wss honoured in the cds liner notes and cover i dont believe eulogy is about him. Tool reveer Bill Hicks where the lyrics of Eulogy have clear contempt for the protagonist of the song.definitely fits Ron L Hubbard a lot more, especially considering Maynards contempt for mainstream religion. Just my 2 cents

    imagine being 12,13,14 yrs old hearing this for the first time and being damn near the only person you know listening to this, with maybe one other friend, bc nobody else has either heard it, or if they did they didnt get it or thought it was too weird or too scary. but you, you liked it. alot. you didnt care. you had no idea they would become what they've become and affect people like this now, but you knew it would come around somehow. well that was me as a young teenager in the 90s, and it was the last best time to be a teen. im 40 now.

    This is actually the current ringtone on my phone. I've been a Tool fan since the 90's, my absolute favorite band. He also leads 2 other bands, Perfect Circle and Pucifier. Perfect Circle is AMAZING.
    I've read that Eulogy was written about a friend of the band who passed away but it could've just as easily been written, in part, about certain types of political figures both today and throughout world history. True to form, their music often has these epic double meanings. I love that they are getting more recognition, their talent is truly unmatched.

    First time viewer here. Gotta say I dug the video! If I may make a suggestion, and a bit of an outside the box one at that (feel free to tell me to kick rocks too), you should react to Brass Against's covers of Lateralus and The Pot. Both top-notch Tool songs and if you like music that's just different (they're an instrumental ensemble with a vocalist) then that should be right up your alley.

    I first heard this one live at an Ozzfest just after Aenima came out. I got chills too. In fact, I would guess that everyone in the crowd got them. Maynard was in the blue full-body paint and did the most insane dance-moves. Drums were set up stage-left (at least that's how I recall it Blew my mind off. Made me an instant fan for life of the band. I felt they were the best band to play that day. Then again I missed a System Of A Down on the second stage, and everyone was saying they were awesome. But still... Tool left an imprint on me that's lasted all this time. I'll never forget that performance.
