Please do either Opiate 2 or Culling voices, not sure if you did that one yet
In case no noone mentioned it already(they probably did), Jambi is the genie in the box from Pee Wee's playhouse. His catch phrase was "Mekka Lekka Hi Mekka Hiney Ho!"
Adam said in an interview that someone thought Justin's bass line sounded like that catchphrase. So Maynard decided to call the song Jambi in tribute.
Jambi was also a sultanate in Indonesia (a province now), I'm guessing that's the influence for this line: 'Feast like a sultan, I do', in the 1st verse. Just interesting blending the 2 concepts of the genie and the sultanate to create some of the themes in the song.
I also feel like Jambi is a take on poetry iamb in Swedish (jamb). The song is in 9/8 for the most part with the phrasing being broken up into either [1 2 3, 1 2, 1 2] such as "Here from the king's mountain view..." or [1 2, 1 2, 1 2 3] which is common with Justin/Adam. It stitches around a lot, and with Danny adding his rhythm on top it just makes the whole song sound layered without being too busy.
Yes,it's true. Coincidence or not, watch Jambi's catch phrase, the cadence matches the main riff! Tool is fun!
@Christopher Moltisanti brilliant comment! 😂
It was Danny Carey the drummer that told Justin it sounded like Jambi from pee wee’s
See? The Tool Army will never lie to ya
This song has such batshit crazy groove in such weird time signatures. Justin ate a 3 course meal on this track, the bass is the highlight for me
Nailed it
the bass is the highlight of this album
It’s his wal mk2
I'm sure he actually plugs his bass into the devil himself.... His bass sound is awesome...
Jambi is definitely Tool's 'grower not a show 'er' song. Every album has a song I really don't like at first listen for like a year, then BOOM it's my favorite on the album.
LOL!!! Love the analogy....
Absolute facts. I did not like the fear inoculum album on first listen. By 4th listen It was the only thing I was listening to for months
That literally just happened to me with tempest. Didnt really like it. All it took was a microdose and boom. It all makes sense
Dead ...
Never known anyone NOT like this jam... bi right off the rip.
Every Tool fan listening gave a resounding “Yessss…” when you mentioned how multiple listens to their songs usually open your ears to new and remarkable things.
How many eyes does a human being have?
We have 2 ears, and 2 eyes....?
Justin really gets to flex his muscles on this track. He plays bass like a lead guitarist. He's amazing.
My fave Tool song constantly changes. Right now it’s Rosetta Stoned. Known about it for years and just thought it was only alright. Now I love it
Rosetta stoned absolutely slaps once you actually sit down and really listen to it properly.
Exact same feeling on Rosetta stoned
Me too! I'm currently obsessed with Eulogy.
@@kinshard6005 THIS!!
Gyroscopes and infrared
I can't wait for you to get through the entire 10000 Day album, so you canisten to it, start to finish in one go in your 4 Runner. As complex and dynamic each song is, so are their full albums, they design them as a journey.
He has to be close. What hasn't he done yet?
I think he’s heard it all. Maybe he hasn’t heard Intension?
Eventually Polo is gonna have to do a livestream as he listens through each full album.
I think the only one he hasn’t heard is Intension and the filler tracks, but I think those are best reserved for the album in its entirety. At least for first listen. Intension probably won’t click with him for a while. It certainly didn’t for me
@@daltondugger4821I was never a huge fan of intention until a few months back when I looked at the lyrics for some reason and realized it is basically an intro to right in two. Now I love it and never want to hear right in two unless it's after intension.
I know this sounds stupid but every time I hear this live I get hardcore goosebumps AND I tear up
No tears but I had a major Goosebump infection while listening to this track.
@@poloreacts27 you gotta see them live. If they come anywhere near you 🤯
@@kimberlysaffles9332 second this!
Yes!! yes!! no does not sound stupid at all I am exactly the same way every song affects me that way ❤❤ everytime I see them live I tear up on every song but Jambi is my favorite
That's not stupid. A few Tool songs make me tear up and I have no idea why. I think my brain just gets overwhelmed with the beauty of it.
"Silence, Legion, stave your poision. Silence, Legion, and stay out of my way."
Powerful line.
The song is a polyrhythmic showcase. I didn’t even care for the song until I saw it live and then I saw the true power of it.
Yessir! Tool just keeps coming up with weirder time signatures. This one seems to be a 9/8, but every instrument is playing a different subdivision: 5+4, 3+3+3, 6+3, etc
@@alihijazi4451 doesn't that show how good they all are and in sync to switch fluidity. 4/4 is all I can't even keep count of. Oddly enough because Ivw listened to them so much, I can still know when everything hits even though I can't time it.
A lot of people say Adam plays basic riffs I'll tell you what I've never heard a guitar player come up with what he can come up with his tone his overall style and sound is completely his own he is so creative Beyond any other guitar player I have ever heard
Adam serves the sound and the music. His feel is bonkers.
I absolutely love Adam’s playing. It’s crazy to think that the same high school gave us Adam Jones and Tom Morello.
Anyone who thinks Adam Jones is not a competent guitar player doesn't know anything about guitars let alone music.
The fact that Adam can come up with such rich music with just "basic" riffs is no small feat.
That's because their opinions and small minds are basic 🤷
As a Caribbean dude that got transplanted to an all white town in new England my sophomore year in HS. First few months making friends and met a couple dudes who we became friends opened up my eyes to tool. Prior to that I never really listed to "rock", "alternative", "metal" cuz that was just noise I didn't like/understand.
Tool was the first band that I was like... Alright.. this hits the anger rage shit and just delivered. Then I became more open minded and started listening to Metallica, Megadeth, Godsmack, rob zombie, slipknot, tree were my bands. Also got into skater punk music from snowboarding (yea, love it)
As I explored more of the "white" music I started to get the "melancholy" music.
Conversely, I started listening to less hip hop cuz I hated the flex mentality of it. Sure you'd get a lupe fiasco here and there, but I think my environment changed my perspective on music a bit.
I love watching his videos specifically tool because he's seeing what I saw that that band will break your bias.
Sounds oddly similar to my experience. I grew up in Nevis and my mom sent me to my uncle in Gloucester MA for a couple years and went the Hs there.
I was exposed to a lot of the popular Rock in the late 90’s but Tool just shit on everything and it’s really the only rock I listen to still.
BTW if you are a Caribbean man you should know of Akae Beka (formerly Midnite). Greatest music in the world to I. If not check them out.
RIP Vaughn Benjamin
@@XBludclahtX I've been in the states since 85 and never really followed Caribbean music, but I'll check it out. Thanks
Dude, check out a band called "atomship"
The building tension and release on that staccato shouting part that ends on "might..as..well..be..goooooone!" is total musical ear candy for me.
I love how INSISTENT it sounds. Very similar feeling to the part in Vicarious that ends with "...devour to survive, so it is, so it's always BEEEEEEEN!!" shivers. every time.
Best bit of the song, the drop is immense! Outstanding groove when I saw it live
Maybe you should consider doing a series where you listen to the song with us again and you share what YOU get out of it?
This is a GREAT idea 💡
I was thinking the same thing. Call it Tool REVISITED. It could be an entirely separate series for you!
For music like this: I would almost prefer if someone listens to the song alone and offline. Then they do a second listen for the reaction video. And they can then perform some music analysis and all that fun stuff.
This is the type of music that one perhaps should first hear in a meditative state, and not a performative state.
Either way, this is peak level music and I am glad others enjoy the sound however they so choose.
OR after you’ve listened to them or most of them, you do an entire album start to finish. If you’re not done with the length. Then post it in segments. But seriously they are all better like that lol. Welllll…..maybe not OPIATE but you get it.
I agree, H.
The real grab with Tool, like so many of the greatest bands of all time is:… The more you listen, the more you notice just how intricate, amazing, and nuanced they are at doing what they do! Yes, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush and many others (There are too many to list them all) The ones I mentioned off the top of my head, are what I consider to be their influences. PEACE!
My favorite two bands (if I have to choose just two) are Pink Floyd and Tool because there is a great crossover between the two bands. For me, Tool is Pink Floyd metal. Complex, long and full works and a deep dive into sociological and psychological issues.
When this album dropped I listened to it once and was overwhelmed. I had take a step back and let it simmer in my mind. I wasn’t ready! Eventually I found the right headspace for it. It’s so dense that it has to trickle through your mind slowly. I was already a die-hard Tool fan but this just goes to another level. 🤘🏻
Hahahahaha. I feel ya. I'm a lifelong fan from the start. When I first heard the "time signature" in Pneuma, I turned off the song laughing my ass off. I knew it was gonna be a great album - but couldn't figure out how they could blow my mind further at this point in my life!
This fuckin band
i haven't listened to fear inoculum yet. I'm not ready.
1:30 AM? Look at what I just stumbled upon. Uhh... gotta get headphones!
East coast? Just got home from work myself and found this awesome video!
The only time I can get quiet to record. Working really heard to get a studio as this kills my sleep. I fell asleep before recording this video for 10 mins
night owls unite! hoot in union!
@@poloreacts27 No worries man! We appreciate you!
Keep up the awesome reactions.
If you ever get the chance to see TOOL live it’s a must see show! I’ve been to well over 100 concerts and TOOL is by far the best live shows! Seen them 3 times, and Puscifer and A Perfect Circle both once!
the host makes a reference to Maynard as the "pheonix", probably the best analogy of Maynard ever.
You have that late, night Kool Jazz deejay voice, Polo. I enjoy you as much as the songs!😊
Adam using that talkbox on this solo, he called up Peter Frampton to help him set it up actually :D
Man, I soooooo look forward to your Tool reactions. They are the only band I’ve came across that doesn’t have a bad song.
The Mars Volta perhaps found some of that same energy.
They are a far more acquired taste for some people though. I have no hate for people who say, "amazing yet meh". I think they are geniuses as well.
Idk why, but I get a "Nightmare Before Christmas" opening scene vibe from this song.
Justin kills it on this track and then Adam steals the show with the talkbox
If you ask 10 people what their favorite Tool song is, you will probably get 7 different answers. That's a testament to their greatness.
Be surprised if it wasn’t 10. I’d definitely give you a different answer depending on the day of the week, the weather and my mood.
They'd give you 14 answers! 😆
This is Adam’s band
I 109% agree
Danny disagrees.
Absolutely NOT overestimated or over-hyped. JAMBI May not be their best song but for many reasons it is my favorite song by Tool.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen TOOL live 3 times! Hands down the best concert going experience you can have!!
I’ve also seen Puscifer
And saw A Perfect Circle while on shrooms!
I sadly never saw Tool.
I saw perfect circle with a hallucination inducing migraine though lol. A chill af person bought me a bottle of water and a sealed tylenol packet from the beer vendor.
Good times. Good people.
George Clinton and Pfunk was probably the best live show I have ever seen. That was one insane party. 5 minutes in the room and you got contact high from the weed smoke.
George Clinton and like 10 people on stage hit a blunt we rolled up that contained some of the finest weed to ever be grown.
Amazing memories.
DUDE!!!!!! This is the best TOOL reaction I've watched in the past 2 days. You didn't stop the track every 2.3 seconds and yap about the instrument technicalities, and/or try and dissect the lyrics (the only ones able to do this are mathematicians and the poet), like I've watched in every other persons' TOOL reactions. Your raw facial expressions and the noises you make tell one everything they need to know. It makes me actually LOL to watch the people in the reactions think they know what's coming up next in a TOOL song because they are educated in musical theory, then eat shit because it goes somewhere they never even imagined. I wish all ya'lls reactions to the first time hearing a specific TOOL song would just be silence out of you, the whole song through. Then play it again and insert your thoughts. TOOL songs are experiences and by hitting pause and flapping your jaw the first time in that experience ruins the whole thing. You will always remember the first time you heard TOOL, if you dig it, so what a shame it is that you wasted the possibility of that experience by yapping your head off about nonsense the whole time. You will never be able to get that moment again. It's like taking a picture of a sunset...you will NEVER see that sunset again so you should put your phone down and witness the magic, live.
I remember I discovered Tool by watching a video of Squidward dancing to this song
9:54 The magic recipe : Adam Jones is using the Heil HT1 Talk Box to affect the sound of his guitar with his voice !
First time I listened to this album when it came out, I immediately latched on to this song. "So If I Could I'd Wish It All Away, If I thought Tomorrow, Would Take You Away!" Captured me from then until this very day. One of my all time favorite TOOL songs!
I think Maynard writes his parts "after" Adam writes his riffs, and that probably inspires some of Maynard's cadence & style.
The way TOOL writes their songs is almost hypnotizing. First, they let you settle into an atmosphere and then hit you with their first riff. Then, Maynard takes your hand and guides you through the first two or so courses, showing off multiple different rhythms and ideas. Afterward, he lets you go and lets the music engulf you. Then he comes back, and you find yourself nodding your head to the constantly changing rhythm. When the song is over, it leaves you wanting more. I could listen to TOOL forever and never get bored.
Such a great song live. They opened their 10,000 days tour with this.
So cinematic!
This song live moved it up my favorite list for sure!
Perhaps you could do a podcast style - Afterthoughts, on songs that particularly impressed you, or that are constantly replayed on your staylist.
Cheers, Polo 🔥✌️🙏
The heavy guitar riff after "benevolent sun" and the bass with a flanger effect shortly after that gets me every single time. I literally never get sick of that part!
Great reaction!
This song somehow ignites a fighting spirit in me but also opens my heart to the world, and the two become one, and I realized that it's the feeling of being willing to fight tooth and nail for what you love.
It's beautiful how art can be interpreted in so many ways, even if you read all you can on these songs the meaning will still change over time because your perspective changes.
Tool has changed a lot for me, it used to just be awesome music, now it has so much meaning to me that it makes me emotional, I started listening to tool in between Alan Watts lectures while I was working and the parallels in the messages between the two almost literally blew my mind wide open, I had to take time to collect myself and reform what I thought of myself and existence as a human. This song, and the song "right in two" gave me a moment of clarity where the separation between all of us humans fell away like a curtain, and I truly felt the connections between us all. Its funny how you can hear a cliche all your life but truly feeling it is an entirely different kind of knowing.
Well I am rambling. Clearly this reaction stirred something in me and I had to regurgitate it. 😅
Keep going man, I love your reactions!❤
This is a sentimental favorite. It's about having his son and how it changed his life. My two boys were young when this came out, and I took them to their 1st concert (TOOL, of course). They were 7 & 9. Today, they are in their 20s, but this always reminds me of that time.
And I believe this song is about a father’s love for his family. It is spiritually poetic.
Man to be a fly on the wall when Justin, Danny and Adam are writing music together and recording.
Polo, pls listen to schism next! I’m surprised you haven’t listened to it yet since it’s tools biggest track. Great reaction as always and can’t wait for the next one!
Yes
What do you mean the biggest track?
TOOL and Heilung are currently my favorite bands for a spiritual connection. If you’re looking for some powerful music that is spiritually hypnotic and energetic, check out Heilung. Krigsgaldr, In Maidjan, and Anoana are great places to start.
I recommend Stoned Jesus and Naxatras as well.
Both are effin awesome live. Certainly very different experiences, but each very beautiful in their own way.
This was the song that made me think of my wife more than any other even though I know this album is about his mother.. Their (Perfect Circle) connections for me is Magdalena
It always gets me in the feels during Adam's solo. That damn guitar talkbox pedal speaking an unknown language! Wooo!
Yay! My favorite Tool song! Justin kills it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s here. Been waiting for this one. ❤.
Same...
Yay! ❤ Worth the wait. Schism is definitely the next one I'm looking forward to next. Always love seeing someone fall in love with Tool as much as I do. My brain just clicks listening to them. Best live show I've ever seen too. Saw them on the 10,000 days tour. They played video on the floor of the stage and for wings of Marie they dimmed the lights and used fog and lasers to broadcast the video into the sky of the stadium and I've never seen anything like it since. I couldn't even tell you what the visuals were but it was life changing. Whenever life gets tough for me, Tool is what helps me get through it. Turn it up! 🤌❤️
Maybe next ToolsDay. Do it Polo!
One thing about TOOL songs: No matter how many times you listen to them, you'll always discover something new. This album came out in 2006...and I'm STILL discovering new ish that makes me go "Whoa"! I believe their body of work is transcending. Reminder...this is 17 years old! For instance; say they held this album back, and released it today. It would totally relevant, and innovative. This is how good this band is.
One of my favorite Tool songs to jam to
At 8:57 that sound you hear is actually Adam making sounds with his mouth into the microphone. I can’t remember the name of the equipment. I just know it makes your guitar sound like it’s talking. if anyone can elaborate feel free to. Also I agree Adam is my favorite in the band he actually inspired me to play guitar when I was 16 yrs old. Also this song is where Adam does his signature pull through technique. It almost mimics percussion instruments like the drums.
I think it's called a talkbox
Experienced this stunner in Chicago having flown there from New Zealand. Worth the 15 hour flight for this magnificent song alone.
If you know anything about Adam Jones he worked on the movie Terminator 2 as a master sculptor and make up artist so as you said, a sculptor will add layer after layer until you get the finished product. The talent among these 4 men is hard to comprehend.
I would happily watch you react to any tool track, a second, third, fourth, pretty much however many times you care to share.
Tool's Third Eye salival live performance is legit amazing, hope you get to experience it.
Let it be the last one he does.
I'm not a musician so I don't know exactly how to express it, but the thing I love about Tool is they repeat enjoyable riffs for a while, make new iterations on it and repeat that, and then just changes it up and repeats another enjoyable riff for a while. So many bands come up with some truly enjoyable riff/melody and but they either only play it for a few seconds or they repeat it exactly the same the entire song, so you either can't get enjoy it for long or you're forced to hear it nonstop with no extra creative twist on it. It's like Tool understands how humans attach strongly to things and they inject that into their songs knowingly.
this is one of the best Tool songs and I love it
You said when you were talking about the mountain and the feel of the build up. They are masters at this!!!
I saw someone on reddit list the songs on this album in descriptive wording. This one was "Groovy Love Song" and that's perfect.
When you are ready, 3rd eye is waiting....... only when you are ready.
I think you're ready for "Third Eye".
I agree. Which version first you think?
Watch someone donate requests the string quartet version of third eye and he had that wtf look on his face with no comment or pauses ther entire time
@@nonymouz9334 I'd go with the original Ænima album version first no doubt
Oh, you've met Adam's talkbox.
I really hope they post the extended version on TH-cam, it was amazing!!! Played it in Vegas T-Mobile arena 2024
Your love for TOOL makes me smile!🤘
Need to do Tool - H
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 tool H. Wow I can't not believe this hasn't been reacted
You're exactly right about how later listenings will reveal things you didn't notice before. Now take one you didn't care for and watch it grow on you
Fire the first time i heard it, now years later....Fire , hello , We are TOOL , welcome to our master class
I agree brother Danny and Adam are special musicians. Great reaction
Welcome to the family my brother. Love your input.
Tool made me think I didn't understand their rhythm, and by the end of the song they had taught me to hear and feel the rhythm in their odd time signature. I still learn from Tool. Thanks for the reaction! :-)
Polo, I know everyone is saying "H." And I agree you should. There is another standout on Ænima, a song called "Hooker with a P*nis". No joke, that's the title but it's a real song and it's fire IMO. "I've got some bad advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger you should know that I'm the Man." It's savage and it's a banger. Angry Maynard strikes again!
I think he already reacted to it
I reacted to it already. check out my Tool playlist th-cam.com/play/PLZKLILnflIYi5Hy4SlOKxjRIdiF5Vda8t.html
Well crap. I checked the playlist and looked through the recent ones as well and didn't see it.
@@The_Kiosk I could be wrong but I think I remember him saying that he really didn’t want to react to it because of the name lol. And he loved it of course!
Can't I give 50 thumb up
Loved this reaction and so glad you loved this song as much as i do. This gets played SO loud in my car.
In my experience, a lot of hype comes from the lyrics and the personal meaning each of us gets from the words and the music. Each is a separate beast that you learn about and embrace in your own way.
For sure..the song gets you sonically first.then you learn the lyrics and sing them from your soul.
@@crystalscolza1663 almost every tool song goes in your order except this one for me. The lyrics caught me first, then the bass drop.
Yeah, H - about his self-perceived damage in relation to his son.
Ohhh… that buzz with the bass line!
I’m late to the Tool party on your page but been part of the Tool Army since about 1997 when I heard the Aenima album through on headphones and about lost my mind. Did some research and been hooked and in love ever since.
Jambi will always be special to me and reminds me of my relationship with my husband. I would give all of everything I have to spend just one more day with him. I have a low back tattoo of a sun with a gem in the middle that says, “shine on benevolent sun” in the hopes that my husband and I will continue to be blessed by the powers that be and continue to live together in love and prosperity and the benevolent sun will shine on forever.
Tool is a strange one for many to get in too, even if they like rock or metal. They have strange drum and beat meters and experiment with their craft as individual artists. But if you can enjoy their music you're in for a treat because that strangeness gives them such a unique and often brilliant sound you cannot find anywhere else.
"If wants and needs divide me I might as well be gone" 🤘
13:05 new series right there for you! Tool: Revisited
Jambi is absolutely mental. It's a mind blower.
Shine on forever, shine on benevolent sun.
This one is my favorite Adam solo! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
Remember when i bought this at 19...i was like this cd has 2 good songs!!! 20 years later I talk about it like "The Wall"
I can relate to that...
My favorite Tool song! I just love all the layers and the build, all the changes, the instruments, the way they go in and then pull back… It drives so hard at times, that big drop 3/4ths of the way through… It wasn’t my favorite for a while, but it grew on me and kept growing. Such a great song!
YUUUUUSSSSS FINALLY!! Can’t wait to watch this
I paypal'ed you for this one. I love this song, I might say it may not be the greatest Tool song but how can you choose just one? The revisiting of Tool songs is the reason for it being hard to choose just one song as a favorite, they just slide one into the next. Jambi is one for the 4Runner, LOUD! Thank you for the reaction much appreciated . How about H next or 4.
Do 10,000 days part 1, and 2..... It's a very emotional ride it's about Maynard's deceased mother
Am I the only one that sees a face just to the left of Polo? Once you see it you cant unsee it. It even looks like something out of an official video of Tool.
Adam and Danny originally laughed at Justin when he brought this bass riff into a writing session. Adam told him "That sounds like Jambi from PeeWee's Playhouse! 'Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho!' '"... Justin convinced them to jam it and now it's one of their favorite songs to play.
Jambi is one of my favorite songs. Can't even describe how good it is
Everything is done with intention and your 100% correct with their signature. Adam is a genius, he does all the artwork and he is really into art/theatre, wife’s an artist and he really is a student of the arts. He definitely paints a picture of his art when he plays. One of my favorite guitarists of all time. 7emptest is his HOF moment
I get what you mean by maybe not being a fan of certain songs on the first listen. When 10,00 Days came out I really didn't like The Pot, the main reason being the intro vocal. At the time Emo was really popular and I kind of grouped any higher pitched rock vocal into having that kind of sound. Looking back that was really dumb of me, but I was such a snob about music then. IMO The Pot is kind of the best "Intro to Tool" song since its accessible enough to not completely throw people off but still demonstrates what makes Tool great.
The other song I didn't immediately connect with was Pneuma. I thought it was pretty good but I didn't love it. Then I finally got to see them live after being a fan for over 20 years. For some reason being in that arena, listening to my favorite band, completely changed my perception of the song. I looked over at my buddy during the song and he had tears running down his cheeks. We talked about it afterward and couldn't stop talking about how our minds changed on the song. I have been to a ton of concerts in my life, but that was the first one I felt like something substantial had changed in my life. It sounds corny, but from people I've talked to it seems to be a common thing.
Great reaction Polo
Sweat from the 1st EP 1st track is 🔥
Very rarely a newer Tool fan appreciates the nuance that Adam Jones plays. Kills the sweet spot every time with either a riff, rhythm, tone ect... Always prodding along. My fav too.
The next Tool song you hear is your favorite. I've stood by this since '94 and I'll stick by it now.
Have to be Schism next surely
Tool is one of my favorite bands of all time. I love the hard rock and metal bands that really tell a story through their music.
Adam used talk box for the solo. a device that feeds the guitar sound through a plastic tube into his mouth and replaces the sound of the vocal chords with the guitar then Adam uses his mouth to shape the sound back into a microphone. Creating vocal like talking sounds from his guitar. Originally invented by jazz steel guitarist Alvino Rey in the late 1930's and made more popular in the 50's by Pete Drake. The first commercial units were first made by audio wizard Bob Heil for Joe Walsh for his song Rocky Mountain Way. Soon after that he made one for Peter Frampton who's Frampton Comes Alive album really brought the Talk Box into the public eye.
You should play this in your 4-runner. Would would amazing
Remember that meme that had the giant wall of speakers and asked what is the first song you would play? Jambi was and will always be the only appropriate answer
Justin chancellor has a legendary Tone, I find this song really shows it well. I'm not sure if you saw but Primus is hosting a concert in LA with Justin and Danney on Apirl 17th, probably a wild show.
