  • I was an instant fan after hearing Tool for the first time. They incorporate so many unique sounds and styles into every song, and this one is no exception. Today I'm listening to "The Grudge" for the first time.
    Watch the original video uninterrupted: • TOOL - The Grudge (Audio)

      @TheVocalyst A Perfect Circle (APC) is a great choice for this channel because you can compare vocal qualities across different bands. APC is still rock, but is more 'traditional' than TOOL's experiemental/progressive musicianship/song length. APC hits that feel much different than TOOL include So Long, And Thanks For All the Fish, 3 Libras, and TalkTalk. Other hit APC songs that are closer to a TOOL vibe include Judith, The Outsider, and Weak And Powerless. All are fun jams. His lyrics tend to be more overt and direct in APC, so his (confrontational) views on religion are very present in songs like TalkTalk and Judith.

    The reason why Maynard's voice melody and lyrics sound so perfectly ensconced within TOOL's music, is because Maynard writes his parts specifically off of his personal impressions of the finished composition. This and his lower volume level makes him another instrument in the band, instead of being just a lead singer who noticeably sits on top of the music. Maynard doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself; he knows that he is just one member of this four piece band and has profound respect for what his bandmates are capable of. I think also, because Maynard writes this way, it alows for his true emotions to come through in his voice.

      Each of the musicians believes so strongly in the project, as well. They never intended for it to be a commercially successful venture, it was just something they all loved doing. Danny Carey was just interviewed by Rick Beato about a month ago and he talks about the beginning of Tool and how he committed to the band because he loved what they were creating. I think at the time he was playing with Jeff Buckley and doing gigs for Carole King. Amazing, amazing drummer.

    This song is extremely spiritual. It stresses how a grudge will cycle back through your life and present differently until you let it go. Sometimes people don't and wonder why negative energy revolves through their life, like a bad cycle. It drags you down, or it will lift you up if you just let it go.

    Maynard’s voice is so mesmerizing. It gives me goosebumps. His voice is very much an instrument of the band. I’ve seen them live twice now, and there are no words for it. He’s in the back and it’s like all four of them become this one, entity of amazing sound. I highly recommend the “Fear Inoculum” “and 10,000 Days” Albums. Really, any of them. Also his two other bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. He has such range. 😊

Alluring and enchanting connection observed in the deep, intimate seductive experience. Maynard's voice is an incantation that transports you to a unique world, prompting a reevaluation of life through new experiences. I couldn’t emphasize the distinct energies of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer in a manner to their enchanting expression and experience. The former tapping into Maynard's feminine side, awakening a vast array of emotions, while the latter represents his creative and adventurous subconscious, unlocking an entirely new realm of energies that stimulate the mind. The synchronization of these musical elements is a journey into a vortex of self-awareness and a reality beyond conventional experiences.

    My dear, I've been listening to TOOL regularly since 1993 and it never gets "old" in the way you sometimes just get tired of hearing a song. TOOL has somehow overcome all typical barriers to being old, while simultaneously seeming "new" that can fit into any aged timeframe every time you listen to them. It's uncanny, yet this is the singular twist that keeps everyone hooked on their music.

    I saw them a few times on the Lateralus tour and Maynard does that scream in its entirety live and it is as fantastic as the studio version.
    Welcome to the Tool Army! They are such amazing musicians who are capable of writing some of the most amazing and complex pieces of music in the metal world.
    I have been listening to them since “Opiate” in 1992 and their music never gets old because when you truly listen to it there is always something new to hear.

    I was 14 when I first heard Tool. One of my older friends had gotten his drivers license and showed up at my dad's autobody shop in a hotrod 1980's Monte Carlo. Not only did it do sick burnouts, it had a beastly stereo system in it. He says check out the "system" in it and plays this album cranked to max volume. These guys blew my friggin mind! My mom and dad listened to classic rock and oldies, so I had never heard anything like it. I was hooked and it started my journey into heavy metal and other types of music.

    Also, MJK is in 2 other bands: A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. They're worth checking out. APC is less prog but I would say more textured, and Puscifer has vocalist Carina Round, who is a great pairing with MJK.
    I'd suggest Orestes, Gravity, or The Noose from APC. And Remedy. And The Humbling River, Remedy, and Momma Sed from Puscifer.

      Absolutely one of my favorites, but unfortunately, she has like 10 higher priority songs to get to first but who knows, maybe one day. The big payoff is that even after hearing a dozen Tool tracks, I bet the Patient will still strike a raw nerve and get through to her.

    • @14yeartwitch14
      @14yeartwitch14 Před 2 měsíci

      @@user-mq5zt1gk4p sometimes I can't even accept one song on that album as my favorite. I hear parabol and parabola together and it sometimes takes me back to when I purchased the CD, put it into my CD player in my truck (cuz I couldn't wait til I go home to listen to it) and just the absolute drive from the drums almost like an engine/motor pushing the entirety of the band/music into a new plane, just can still grab my complete and total focus. But then those harmonies and sincerity of emotion comes out in The Patient and what I was going through in my life at the time, and it...... I just can't explain it man.

    • @user-mq5zt1gk4p
      @user-mq5zt1gk4p Před 2 měsíci

      I have my own fond memories of that album. My friend had just gotten his first car, and gas was relatively cheap back then, so when the rare summer rains would come, we would just drive on the back roads of the towns we lived in listening to Lateralus (yes, for 1h+ at a time). Listening to Lateralus during a thunderstorm smelling that fresh air from the rain is a memory I think I'll have until my deathbed.
      So yeah, I think she'll have a strong reaction to hearing The Patient when she gets to it, but that's to be expected for the whole album.
      I was fortunate enough to see Tool twice during the Lateralus touring days, so I think the only "real" song I haven't heard live is Ticks and Leeches. They even played Triad live with Meshuggah!
      I admit The Grudge was a surprise reaction video I wasn't expecting yet, but I was very happy with it since it's the song of the night during their recent tours. Realistically, I think any further reactions from her on this album would be
      Schism
      Parabol/Parabola
      Lateralus (best song)
      And then maybe The Patient
