I watched a chick reacting to the songs 10000 days 1 and 2 and she broke down and cried, then googled what the song was about and broke down again, I became addicted to tool reactions after that. Tool and mad season are my fave reaction vids.
I’ve listened to Tool since High School in the 90s. Never got to see them live until a month ago when my 20year old daughter and I went to their show. So good!!!
As much as you're digging this, you really should do the catalog, in order, from inception to now. It'll be good for you to experience their evolution, the TOOL Army will love you for it as it'll allow them to tell you the band's story.
Personally I don't enjoy their first two albums as much as the later ones but yes it does show their evolution as a band to go in order. Vicarious is a fantastic song with a message about human nature that certainly doesn't pull any punches. I freaking love this song. I'm 61 and definitely a long time fan, even of a couple of their early tunes ha!
I would recommend reacting to just the music with lyrics as opposed to any of their official music videos. Each of their official music videos has a life of its own and can be distracting if you're diving into their sound. However, they're still really cool productions. Parabol/Parabola are worth your attention. Their catalogue is unreal and not album/song sounds the same. Every song takes you on a journey. They are so smart and technically sound.
Echoing everything @monkeycutter wrote (lyric videos EXCEPT Parabol/Parabola...watch official video and read the amazing lyrics before). I'll add that you will freaking die watching the drum cam view of Danny Carey during a live Tool performance of the song "Pneuma" (simply astonishing). The studio version is equally mind bending. Hell, it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard (and I'm 54).
And using decent Headphones as well as Lyrics Only videos (like Parabol/Parabola as 1 seamless track, no pause) is a good idea ... with Headphones You dive even deeper into the sound and get almosted emersed/surrounded by it, as if the sound becomes 3D, get to pick up on all kinds of little subtleties and the sound engineering work as well ...
I highly recommend doing the audio only versions. The videos are cool but some times they distract from the musical greatness. I have been listening to Tool since I was in high school (17 years old) I am now 46 so nearly 30 years. I STILL get teared up when I listen to: H. / Wings for Marie 1 & 2 / Reflection / Pushit / Lateralus / Third Eye Spiral Out !
Yes, this video version soundtrack has some bits edited out that I really like about this song. But, also, Tool does some amazing visuals, so... Kinda wanna get reactions to both?
I’ll agree. But this Video in particular goes so well with the song. I ve seen this song live like 4 times. The video is so damn epic on a jumbo screen. You literally feel like one of those eye worm things floating in space.
46 & 2 should prob be next. 3 appetizer songs then its on to the main course! The Grudge! Descending! Lateralus! Pneuma! Right in Two! Cant go wrong with those 5
The way you tear up when you hear something amazing - I do the same when I see someone enjoy something as much as I do. Tool is a profoundly impactful band
The lyrics make me emotional because he talks about how our nature is to be morbidly drawn to death and violence and tragedy just so long as it isn't happening to us personally. I think our fear that it could be us someday and our visceral relief that we dodged fate is partly what draws us paradoxically towards bad news in the lives of strangers.
The "duh duh duh dumm" on the guitar is Adam Jones' iconic rhythmic palm muted strumming on the lowest string. It's not very technical but it is used really effectively across many Tool songs and he's known for creating interesting rhythms together with the other instruments that way. Glad you picked up on it ;-)
Ah what a youngster! Welcome to the army! Tool has been making the most unique, indefinable, expert music since1990 and still is. They are my age now with no stopping or compromising. Genre-less.
Great reaction Mollyboy! You'll find each Tool song takes you on a journey. They are masters at keeping you engaged in their music through the intricate use of multiple time signatures, rhythms and transitions. There is a saying-your favourite Tool song is the one you've just listened to. Spiral out
I started listening to Tool in the mid '90s, so I'm a bit biased toward their older heavier shit, but their whole catalog is simply amazing. Aenema, 46 & 2, Opiate, Hooker With a Penis, H ... all must-listen older stuff.
Subbed, you held up your end. Saw another comment that recommended going chronologically through Tool's catalog, this would be a great way to get a taste of our experience Tool.
The first time I listened to tool, they blew my mind with every new track I listened to. Trust me, you’re going to fall in love with this band. Highly recommend staying away from their music videos since they can be distracting. just do official audios. Listen to “stinkfist” next! 🤘🌀 just subbed for the tool journey
Wow! Second TooL song? You really jumped in the deep water right off the bat. This song still makes me tear up a bit early in the morning. Fear Inoculum is their most recent album but I suggest that you review their early work before you proceed much further. Lol it's all effing Awesome!
The next one must be Lateralus or Shism or Right in Two or 46&2 or Rosetta stoned or Invincible or etc... u cant make a mistake while picking the next song of tool, they are all amazing.
I've always pondered, what is the correct order of songs to introduce Tool. We all know a Tool song when we hear it. 46 and 2 is digestible to the novice unlike say Third Eye lol.
Bro you bring up the tearing up thing. I swear my whole life I've been the same way and they can come from an acceptance speech at the oscars, someone hitting a line in a film, somebody putting on a clinic at the Olympics, or a song, a painting, anything... And I thought about it a lot too and I think what it is is literally just human achievement and being continuously amazed at the things people can do. Don't let anybody ever come between you and that feeling.
Subbed to watch your journey. Fascinating to watch someone just discovering Tool for the first time. 46 & 2 is a great next step. Suggest the Lateralus album after that - hit the main singles in whatever order you like (so long as you don't separate parabol from parabola). Then go back and listen to the whole album in one sitting; it's greater than the sum of its parts.
Also I am so pumped for the Sessanta tour coming 2024. I live in michigan, but my greatest friend moved to Arizona with his family about 20 years ago, and guess who else lives in Arizona.... Maynard!!! This is his 60th birthday bash tour, so April 17th I will be in Phoenix Arizona at Talking Sticks, celebrating with my greatest friend and Maynard..... It is going to be spectacular!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just found you and l couldn't be happier! I love TOOL, and now, I'm so happy to welcome you to the TOOL ARMY. The farther you get down the rabbit hole, the better the ride gets.
someone once said "let me swat the pedals of the rose, it's beauty is like sand in my eyes." - I think this may help explian the reactions. The awe of beauty. Polyrtythms, groove, Sync, talent. Mix of new built upon the old. Enjoy your journey.
Be proud. You are getting into Tool at a young age. Some people need to mature to a much older age in order feel their music. I’ve told other reactors that Tool has a way of coming to you when you need their message. Whether the message is delivered through the instrumentation or the lyrics, we each get out of their music what we need at that time. I’d suggest Sober before 46 and Two.
Agree that it comes to you when you need it. I dabbled in Tool on and off for years but it was not until I was 60 that I actually paid attention. Retired RN with musical background and can't get enough of it. Something new every listen.
Do 7empest if you're liking the guitar. Any song by Tool will blow your mind, you have to do the whole discography. F.Y.I. They have 5 studio albums and an EP called Opiate from 1992. Their first studio album Undertow was released in 1992, then Ænema released in 1996, then Lateralus released in 2001, then 10,000 Days in 2006, and finally after a 13 year hiatus came Fear Inoculum in 2019. They also have a live recorded album called Salival you need to check out too. You won't be disappointed with any of it. Just be ready to see music in a new light. When ever you do Lateralus's title track, watch a video explaining how they used the Fibonacci sequence to create it.
TOOL had to remove all recordings a few years ago because the videos were too strong for CZcams standards, so all the most popular songs from many years ago are remade for today's CZcams.
Heyo. Saw them last year.. out of body experience!. Just bought my ticket for Tool 2024 concert.... 3rd June O2... dont miss out!! Love the reactions so far! Keep going my friend!
Someone must have said already, but Tool only went onto digital platforms when they released their latest album in 2019. The previous album, "10,000 Days" was released in 2006. So, ALL their music shows as released in 2019 on the platforms.
I think us older Tool fans are living vicariously thru your adventure with this band its going to be a great journey for you. PS I'M 70 years young and still listen to them.
Thank you for doing these. SOAK IT ALL IN. You can only hear their songs once for the first time. I envy you, yet i am grateful. ..this brings back all the memories when i listened to a TOOL SONG FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! 🌀🌀🌀👁👁👁
So glad you discovered tool and love it. I was born in 1980 and I remember when they first came out how obsessed I was. They’re an all time great band 100.%
If you remember nothing remember this… tool has been a band that is not categorized but experienced. It isn’t music but again it’s an experience and that is what you will alway feel when you listen to them.
Tool is… A visceral experience. Bass stank face, posture hunched bracing yourself, eyes watering. Yeah. It’s always great to see and hear someone’s first time.
MAN! I can stop listening to Tool since I heard it when I was 16 years old, and this song was the first I'm now 33, and still gives me the chills through my spine, it is incredible!
No selection will disappoint you if you’re having emotional reactions to their music. Tool is just a different sound. The beat switches and the beautiful writing. They’re so complex. 10,000 Days Wings For Marie. Parts 1&2. Try a lyric video if you can. You’ll love it. Congratulations on 10K. It’s coming soon.
Pro-tip: react to the audio only. CZcams has a record of pulling reaction videos that include a showing of music videos for some reason. Also, have the lyrics pulled up and read what Maynard is saying. The lyrical content is a huge part of what makes Tool so incredible.
I think Tool can take you to different places, places where you haven't been before. It's like an emotional purge. I'm 65, so I feel Tool very deeply. It's really healing music because it wakes you up to your inner self. Namaste.
That man behind the drums is a master of polyrhythm named Danny Carey! At 6’8” he’s known as the human octopus and can play 4 different rhythms at the same time! He’s on another level along with all of his band mates!
Your review was beautiful! I too have been listening to tool since before you were born, since your dad was probably a child. Love changing music, I never get tired seeing people fall in love with Tool
Crying is, for the most part, and emotional release. People tear up in all kinds of specific situations, highly variable, person dependent. You tear up at the best music ever made ..... could be worse ;)
Just start front to back bud. You can't go wrong. You'll love it. If you're an anything like me, it will be tears, laughs, wonder, awe... they have a singular talent to evoke emotion.
Yes they are a particularly gifted band. Every member is a master of their craft, their drummer Danny Carey has a phd in percussion, Maynard is a geneous writer, Jones is a awesome guitarist and he also had alot to do with the visual art and album art.. this band is a rabbit hole, while your at it look into their 2nd and 3rd bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer
When I was 13 Tool lateralus was the first album I had ever bought on cd… changed my life forever and I still can’t get enough. The Grudge is the first song on the album.. definitely give it a listen.
Alright bro, you got another sub. I'm hooked on watching people discover Tool - They've been my favorite band since the 90s. Keep 'em coming, and we'll hang with ya. I suggest The Grudge, Pneuma (drum cam video), and H.
One of my all time favs Is a newer track called Pneuma. Not sure if that's the right next step but still an absolute masterpiece and never disappoints!
I once had "10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)" stuck in my head for a solid 3 1/2 weeks. That song requires a bit of backstory it's about his mother who spent 27 years paralyzed after a stroke and the way she was treated by members of her church who said it was God's judgment of her.
I discovered Tool when i was in middle school (2001) and their music carried me through my deployment in Iraq in 2010. And after all these years Tool is still one of the greatest bands I have ever listened to. Edit: Check out The Noose by A Perfect Circle. Same lead singer.
Hey man I just saw your reaction to the Pot yesterday. That song is very make-it-or-break when it comes to seeing who falls down the rabbit hole. Your reactions made me hope you’d fall in. There are no favorites, but here are some euphoric listens: The Grudge Parabol /Parobola Lateralus Decending Pneuma If you want a pure listening experience with no lyrics pulled up, be warned that you will NOT be able to hear all of them the first time through. If you want to follow the lyrics, you might get more from it. Maynard James Keenan’s writing adds a mind blowing depth to the music. Spiral out 🌀
Ya man, you don't just listen to Tool, you feel Tool in your bones. No other modern music compares for me and I've been on board since 1996 when I heard Sober for the first time on the radio. No going back.
LOVE your reaction on this! I thought I was the only one that teared up from listening to TOOL from time to time. Haha You must do H soon. One of my favorites.
LATERALUS is one of their top songs, the message and music are epic. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan is a genius poet. As you continue you may notice how Maynard and Adam Jones guitarist play off of each other, its one of my favorite things to hear and really evident in the song JAMBI. Enjoy the journey and SPIRAL OUT
Brings a tear to my eyes as a man who’s listened to Tool for 25 years; to see a young man fall in love with the greatest band of all time. Spiral Out
Spot on dude!
Amen brother
yes
Same here ….im 53 & been into Tool since 93 & I really enjoy watching young people discover Tool & “get it” 🖤🤘🏻
Schism set it off for me about... 21 years ago? Crazy, man. Time flies.
This is going to be epic. Watching first time Tool reactions is like a drug.
I watched a chick reacting to the songs 10000 days 1 and 2 and she broke down and cried, then googled what the song was about and broke down again, I became addicted to tool reactions after that. Tool and mad season are my fave reaction vids.
I watched them in concert in 2001, when I was 24. My daughter watched them in concert last week. She just turned 24. I couldn't be more proud. 🤘🏼
I’ve listened to Tool since High School in the 90s. Never got to see them live until a month ago when my 20year old daughter and I went to their show. So good!!!
that’s how the pattern connected
I remember watching them in concert when sober got radio play hooked on them since.
Do their catalog front to back. Each song builds on the next and each album builds on the next. Their evolution is mind-blowing.
💯
Well said!
Yes. Stop right here and go to the beginning. It's very worth it.
As much as you're digging this, you really should do the catalog, in order, from inception to now. It'll be good for you to experience their evolution, the TOOL Army will love you for it as it'll allow them to tell you the band's story.

I second this suggestions. The videos are especially distracting for a first-time listen.
Yes I definitely agree!!
What they said.
And using decent Headphones as well as Lyrics Only videos (like Parabol/Parabola as 1 seamless track, no pause) is a good idea ... with Headphones You dive even deeper into the sound and get almosted emersed/surrounded by it, as if the sound becomes 3D, get to pick up on all kinds of little subtleties and the sound engineering work as well ...
I imagine the day you will listen for the first time to the Grudge or Lateralus. Nothing can match that feeling of awe
Pushit and right in two for me
I LOVE watching reactions to the Grudge. MK’s rage is just 🤌
Lateralus is perfect song, right up there with the classical master pieces of Mozart, Bach or Beethoven.
@@mstorrboy I find Right in Two a transcendental experience every single time. Never fails.
I still remember in my apartment when I was about 20 , midnight, saw this and heard tool for the first time. I was overwhelmed
Their 30 year discography is chocked full of masterpieces like this!
I highly recommend doing the audio only versions. The videos are cool but some times they distract from the musical greatness. I have been listening to Tool since I was in high school (17 years old) I am now 46 so nearly 30 years. I STILL get teared up when I listen to: H. / Wings for Marie 1 & 2 / Reflection / Pushit / Lateralus / Third Eye
Spiral Out !
Yes, this video version soundtrack has some bits edited out that I really like about this song. But, also, Tool does some amazing visuals, so... Kinda wanna get reactions to both?
Yep started at 30 now I'm 60 been my band since 93😊
Same.@@susiejo143
I’ll agree. But this Video in particular goes so well with the song. I ve seen this song live like 4 times. The video is so damn epic on a jumbo screen. You literally feel like one of those eye worm things floating in space.
46 & 2 should prob be next. 3 appetizer songs then its on to the main course! The Grudge! Descending! Lateralus! Pneuma! Right in Two! Cant go wrong with those 5
I love this list 🫶
agreed@@Nicci-the-coach
I think 46 and 2 is one where the lyric video will help
Invincible
Maynard Keenan James is a vocal master and he so much to give. To the point he is front man for two other band A Perfect Circle, and Pusifer.
Omg, as a lifelong vocalist, myself, Keenan is like a drug!!! ❤
The way you tear up when you hear something amazing - I do the same when I see someone enjoy something as much as I do. Tool is a profoundly impactful band
The songs are so amazing, they can definitely bring out your emotions. Spiral out..
3:20 If I could get out of bed and listen to a new tool song every day, I think I would live forever just to spite death.
The lyrics make me emotional because he talks about how our nature is to be morbidly drawn to death and violence and tragedy just so long as it isn't happening to us personally. I think our fear that it could be us someday and our visceral relief that we dodged fate is partly what draws us paradoxically towards bad news in the lives of strangers.
Subbed for the TOOL rabbit hole. You are going to be fu$king blown away with this group!🌀
Every new Tool song will be your favorite Tool song.
Fact
The "duh duh duh dumm" on the guitar is Adam Jones' iconic rhythmic palm muted strumming on the lowest string.
It's not very technical but it is used really effectively across many Tool songs and he's known for creating interesting rhythms together with the other instruments that way.
Glad you picked up on it ;-)
They didn't allow their music to be on the internet like that until a handful of years ago. Having all their music on youtube now is epic. ❤
Tool is in a genre and a class all their own! VERY unique band that keeps you coming back for more and more and more and always delivers!
Ah what a youngster! Welcome to the army! Tool has been making the most unique, indefinable, expert music since1990 and still is. They are my age now with no stopping or compromising. Genre-less.
Great reaction Mollyboy! You'll find each Tool song takes you on a journey. They are masters at keeping you engaged in their music through the intricate use of multiple time signatures, rhythms and transitions. There is a saying-your favourite Tool song is the one you've just listened to. Spiral out
As others have said, you can react to their entire catalogue and feel like you've not heard enough.
Absolutely. You gotta react all the way through! You won't be disappointed!
I started listening to Tool in the mid '90s, so I'm a bit biased toward their older heavier shit, but their whole catalog is simply amazing. Aenema, 46 & 2, Opiate, Hooker With a Penis, H ... all must-listen older stuff.
Dude, I'm the same! I long angry Maynard, but their "newer" stuff is incredible in a different way. 🤘
What is it about watching someone's mind getting blown by TOOL? I don't know... But I'm addicted. Keep em coming!
Subbed, you held up your end. Saw another comment that recommended going chronologically through Tool's catalog, this would be a great way to get a taste of our experience Tool.

The primal scream in The Grudge is one of the greatest moments in metal. Give that a listen
Subscribed mainly for your Tool journey, keep it coming ;)
This song is actually from 2006, within your lifetime:) Great reaction!
Thank you for this. For us old Tool fans this is almost like a drug. Please continue to do these reaction videos
someone once said "let me swat the pedals of the rose, it's beauty is like sand in my eyes." - I think this may help explian the reactions. The awe of beauty. Polyrtythms, groove, Sync, talent. Mix of new built upon the old. Enjoy your journey.
TooL will bend ,warp & tweak your emotions an reshape your mind ,body & soul!..🤣😂
Awesome reaction ,carry on!..💯🤘👍
Happy tears of TOOL!
It happens to most of us,... decades later it still hits us!
#SpiralOut!
I tear up watching you. every time i listen watching someone listen for the first time i tear up. It's amazing how this band has evolved.
Be proud. You are getting into Tool at a young age. Some people need to mature to a much older age in order feel their music. I’ve told other reactors that Tool has a way of coming to you when you need their message. Whether the message is delivered through the instrumentation or the lyrics, we each get out of their music what we need at that time. I’d suggest Sober before 46 and Two.

Try and see them live while they are still touring. They arent spring chickens. They have amazing live shows
Don't know where you are. They are touring North America right now but just announced shows in the UK.
Awesome to see another Young Mind Absorb the Genius of
🛠️T⚙️⚙️L🛠️ 🔥🔥 great reaction 🤘🤘
I saw TOOL on Stage 3 at Lollapalooza 1992 in Utah. Instant adoration. Welcome to the #TOOLARMY young man.
TOOL had to remove all recordings a few years ago because the videos were too strong for CZcams standards, so all the most popular songs from many years ago are remade for today's CZcams.
For my 65th Birthday Im seeing them (again) in Manchester, June 2024. See them live, you wont regret it.
Heyo. Saw them last year.. out of body experience!. Just bought my ticket for Tool 2024 concert.... 3rd June O2... dont miss out!! Love the reactions so far! Keep going my friend!
Im a HUGE Tool fan. Its so fun watching people discover this band for the first time
Someone must have said already, but Tool only went onto digital platforms when they released their latest album in 2019. The previous album, "10,000 Days" was released in 2006. So, ALL their music shows as released in 2019 on the platforms.
The best way to experience TOOL is to only listen to the studio album recordings (audio only, no distracting music video).
I love them turned up on the stereo, but putting on the phones for an album like Lateralus is like Dark side of the moon to me.
Keep spiraling, my friend. Your Tool journey is just beginning! I will enjoy watching your discoveries.
I love watching your expressions with Tool, my favorite band of all time. They’re anazing!
I think us older Tool fans are living vicariously thru your adventure with this band its going to be a great journey for you. PS I'M 70 years young and still listen to them.
Nice! I was waiting for you to get to this one bro. next Tool try Stinkfist or 46 and 2
Thank you for doing these. SOAK IT ALL IN. You can only hear their songs once for the first time. I envy you, yet i am grateful. ..this brings back all the memories when i listened to a TOOL SONG FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
🌀🌀🌀👁👁👁
So glad you discovered tool and love it. I was born in 1980 and I remember when they first came out how obsessed I was. They’re an all time great band 100.%
If you remember nothing remember this… tool has been a band that is not categorized but experienced. It isn’t music but again it’s an experience and that is what you will alway feel when you listen to them.
Amazing what just four instruments can do in the hands of masters
Tool is… A visceral experience. Bass stank face, posture hunched bracing yourself, eyes watering. Yeah. It’s always great to see and hear someone’s first time.
MAN! I can stop listening to Tool since I heard it when I was 16 years old, and this song was the first I'm now 33, and still gives me the chills through my spine, it is incredible!
When my eyes are tearing up to music, I always consider it a physical reaction like goosebumps, only more intense. Subscribed!
46 & 2 is RAD!...but I truly can't wait to see you react to 'Pnuema' live on Danny's drum cam.🔥
I'm thinking a discography reaction would be insanely fun for you. And us.
It's not just starting the day off with guitars, but starting the day off with Tool---can't go wrong. Cheers
No selection will disappoint you if you’re having emotional reactions to their music. Tool is just a different sound. The beat switches and the beautiful writing. They’re so complex.
10,000 Days Wings For Marie. Parts 1&2. Try a lyric video if you can. You’ll love it. Congratulations on 10K. It’s coming soon.
Go back to the Undertow album and start at the beginning progressing forward through the catalog. You won't regret it
Love seeing someone from a younger generation open their self up to this band I've been listening to for decades... Keep it up young man!.
Pro-tip: react to the audio only. CZcams has a record of pulling reaction videos that include a showing of music videos for some reason. Also, have the lyrics pulled up and read what Maynard is saying. The lyrical content is a huge part of what makes Tool so incredible.
Tool is touring The U.K. and Europe. You need to see them live! You will regret it if you don't!
I think Tool can take you to different places, places where you haven't been before. It's like an emotional purge. I'm 65, so I feel Tool very deeply. It's really healing music because it wakes you up to your inner self. Namaste.
Namastey from India..❤🕉️
Tool discovers Hinduism concepts too... i feel..❤❤❤🕉️
Electric guitars with distortion is like the chaotic noise of the atomic universe, amplified and sent straight into your headphones.
I've been a TOOL fan for 30yrs love getting new people to experience them. I'm happy you get to experience them.
That man behind the drums is a master of polyrhythm named Danny Carey! At 6’8” he’s known as the human octopus and can play 4 different rhythms at the same time! He’s on another level along with all of his band mates!
Your review was beautiful! I too have been listening to tool since before you were born, since your dad was probably a child. Love changing music, I never get tired seeing people fall in love with Tool
Yay ! Another Tool video. I’m here for it !! Enjoy your journey.
Crying is, for the most part, and emotional release. People tear up in all kinds of specific situations, highly variable, person dependent. You tear up at the best music ever made ..... could be worse ;)
Just start front to back bud. You can't go wrong. You'll love it. If you're an anything like me, it will be tears, laughs, wonder, awe... they have a singular talent to evoke emotion.
Yes they are a particularly gifted band. Every member is a master of their craft, their drummer Danny Carey has a phd in percussion, Maynard is a geneous writer, Jones is a awesome guitarist and he also had alot to do with the visual art and album art.. this band is a rabbit hole, while your at it look into their 2nd and 3rd bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer
When I was 13 Tool lateralus was the first album I had ever bought on cd… changed my life forever and I still can’t get enough. The Grudge is the first song on the album.. definitely give it a listen.
Alright bro, you got another sub. I'm hooked on watching people discover Tool - They've been my favorite band since the 90s. Keep 'em coming, and we'll hang with ya. I suggest The Grudge, Pneuma (drum cam video), and H.
One of my all time favs Is a newer track called Pneuma. Not sure if that's the right next step but still an absolute masterpiece and never disappoints!
Tool reaction videos will exponentially raise your likes and subscribers. We are powerful my dude
Yeah, I attended a Tool gig in 2001 and only just missed a 1997 gig in Christchurch, New Zealand by days, buying their Ænima album afterwards
OGT93
Now 46&2 and The Grudge!
Keep going. You'll fall in love with them. Spiral out.
I once had "10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)" stuck in my head for a solid 3 1/2 weeks. That song requires a bit of backstory it's about his mother who spent 27 years paralyzed after a stroke and the way she was treated by members of her church who said it was God's judgment of her.
This album was released in 2006 if im not mistaken. They are indeed a 90's band but this video is more modern as you are thinking.
I discovered Tool when i was in middle school (2001) and their music carried me through my deployment in Iraq in 2010. And after all these years Tool is still one of the greatest bands I have ever listened to.
Edit: Check out The Noose by A Perfect Circle. Same lead singer.
Do Stinkfist next, it goes hard but still easy to get into it
Was really hoping that you had done this one and now I found it! Very cool to see you enjoyed it that much, it’s their best song imo. :)
Hey man I just saw your reaction to the Pot yesterday. That song is very make-it-or-break when it comes to seeing who falls down the rabbit hole. Your reactions made me hope you’d fall in.
There are no favorites, but here are some euphoric listens:
The Grudge
Parabol /Parobola
Lateralus
Decending
Pneuma
If you want a pure listening experience with no lyrics pulled up, be warned that you will NOT be able to hear all of them the first time through. If you want to follow the lyrics, you might get more from it. Maynard James Keenan’s writing adds a mind blowing depth to the music. Spiral out 🌀
Ya man, you don't just listen to Tool, you feel Tool in your bones. No other modern music compares for me and I've been on board since 1996 when I heard Sober for the first time on the radio. No going back.
Word!
Welcome to the Tool Army, bruv. No going back now haha and it only gets better. Enjoy =)
LOVE your reaction on this! I thought I was the only one that teared up from listening to TOOL from time to time. Haha You must do H soon. One of my favorites.
They’re UNFORGETTABLE live. Legendary.
Tool didn't have music an any social media platform until like 4 years ago
LATERALUS is one of their top songs, the message and music are epic. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan is a genius poet. As you continue you may notice how Maynard and Adam Jones guitarist play off of each other, its one of my favorite things to hear and really evident in the song JAMBI. Enjoy the journey and SPIRAL OUT
