    Don't beat yourself up. Tool didn't have any of their music on streaming services for years (legal battle) and they were basically invisible to a generation. This is the best band on the planet. Strap in...

      Ya know what? I never thought of that. I was in my early 20's when Tool hit the scene, and have always wondered why so many young people claim to have never heard of them. Now I get it! They don't listen to terrestrial radio, and Tool was not available on streaming services until August of 2019. Maynard announced it while on Rogan's podcast BTW.
      Keep going MollyBoy. We'll be along for the ride. I'm old, and still crankin' Tool whenever the mood strikes.

      I'm not trying to neg on Tool, but I don't find them particularly interesting. I've tried my best to listen to several songs, but none of them have clicked. I listen to absolutely everything. Opeth is my favourite band and Tool sounds like a student band to me next to Opeth. I'm happy for everyone enjoying them, but Tool is not for me.

It was _an event_ when a new TOOL album was released. I remember my friend and I skipping school and waiting at the mall for the truck to show up to deliver the new album (Aenima) to the CD store. We had to wait all day, but I'll never forget driving around and giving that now-classic album a first listen. It was such an experience. These reaction videos have brought my love and appreciation of TOOL to a whole new level. I get chills when I see someone click into what makes these artists so special.

    You DO NOT want to miss the Tool rabbit hole. Life changing stuff bro, trust me, there's no one better. So how do u approach them? I recommend going in chronological order starting from the album Ænima. Take your time if you want, but no skipping songs! Sometimes there's a 1 minute instrumental "prelude" to a longer song, so you can pair those together for the reaction. I genuinely think this will be the most rewarding and enjoyable way to take this journey. Much love

      @uncme123 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I started with Aenima as my first album from them back in the day then went back to Undertow as had heard many of the songs like Sober and Prison Sex. Their album covers and artwork were epic! Been on the journey since…so glad they’re being introduced to so many more now. About damn time!

    Maynard James Keenan is a true genius artistically and musically and in real life I'm so happy that you've discovered him and just one of his multiple bands...enjoy brother welcome to the fan club.😊

    🤘🤘🤘 Let's go! James Maynard Keenan on vocals (legend), Adam Jones on guitar, Danny Carey on drums (legend), and Justin Chancellor on bass. Amazing band with some truly amazing music

    • @silvervial
      @silvervial Před 8 měsíci +9

      Maynard James Keenan, otherwise, absolutely agree.
      Also, great reaction. The Tool rabbit hole is deep and Tool are life-changing, if you let them, hence the name Tool. Use the music and messages as a tool to inform your life.
      The band has been making music for over 30 years, and I've been a fan for over 20. Yes, this song is a great introduction to Tool, but the best advice I can give you is to listen to the first EP through to the latest release, "Fear Innoculum". They don't have a bad song, so no matter how you choose to experience them, you will come out the other side better than when you went in. Just sayin'.

  • @mattblatchley2061

    Can't imagine hearing this as my first Tool song as I had to wait almost 14 years after I started listening to them to get treated to little gem. As for where it ranks in Tool's catalog is very debatable because they have written so many great songs. For me, it's definitely in my top-10 but maybe not in my top-5, so keep listening and I'm certain you will enjoy your journey!

      For sure, live sober, and I have seen a lot of reactors do that one. So, no copyright stuff it would seem. Though, I don't honestly think tool cares much if people are reacting. I see a lot of vids out there.

  • @brettkenschaft4239
    @brettkenschaft4239 Před 8 měsíci +3

    I'm not going to try to take credit here (well, maybe a little), but I suggested Tool to you on a couple of your Pink Floyd reactions. SO GLAD you did it, and I'll bet you are too! They're obviously a lot harder than Floyd, but there are similarities in that the music is very complex and interesting with meaningful and creative lyrics. Lots of great songs to pick from and the Tool army will really boost your subs.

    EP dropped in '92. Four studio albums through 2006, then 13 years until Fear Inoculum in 2019 (they are now late 50s through 61 years old). Still amazing. Some describe them as the Pink Floyd of their generation.

    As good as this song is, it is very straightforward for Tool.
    You definitely want lyrics for all their songs, and it doesn't hurt to do some research on song meanings. These guys have multiple layers to their songs. Sometimes the rhythms have as much to do with the meaning as the lyrics do.

    I have been a tool fan for almost 30 years now. I started with the song Sober from the album undertow. I can tell from your reaction you are hooked! I suggest starting from the beginning for the progression, or pick and choose. Either way, it can be an awakening, tool has an ability to bring you to another understanding, a way of connection. I have subscribed, every tool song great, it will be interesting to watch your journey.
