I'm 58 and I've been listening to Tool since Prison Sex came on MTV in '93. Without a doubt, the greatest rock band of the 21st century. While I do love all my classic rock, metal and alternative, there are none like Tool. Lyrically untouchable. Musically complex and deep. Some of the best musicians on the planet. Who else can take a 13 year hiatus and come back with a no1 album?
I am 73 and have listened to rock & roll my whole life.... The first time I listened to Tool was this song, and I was simply blown away !! They are the best ever 🤘🤘🤘
Same, man. I was five years old the first time I heard them. It was the video for Sober (which five year old me found fucking fascinating) and I was hooked. I am now pushing 40 and this band is one of the only constants I am sure I will still want in my life even if I live to be 100. If anything, they get better as I get older somehow.
@Alostwanderer88 You could try (and this is just a thought... something to workshop perhaps...) maybe NOT being a cunt. That is also an option. Just in case no one informed you... 😉😂 Happy holidays. 🎄
First listened to the album Aenima in the back seat of my youth pastors Nissan centra driving up to summer camp. Playing on my portable CD player with a splitter and my buddy listening as well. Mind was blown. Been a fan ever since.
This song is the perfect introduction to Lateralus. It's message: let go. Forget your ego, your hate, your judgement, yourself. From this moment forward, you are anew. Enjoy the ride.

I was about to leave my usual 'people dont do that anymore, its not 2009' comment, but then I saw the scream and all was forgiven. Would have preferred 47 separate let go's though
The most aggressive and profound song about forgiveness ever. It captures the actual anger and hate, then vents it and warns of the dangers if you hang on to it too much. It's easier in the long run if you 'let this go'. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but It's therapy this tune!
@@oakdragon5727Absolutely. A grudge is us punishing ourselves. We hold on to it and stay at the bottom, held down by the anchor of our emotion. Letting go of a grudge is totally for us to heal. To transcend. To grow. To move forward.

@@colins1358 should I take it as an insult?😂 idk I liked Sober a lot, so i checked out other tool songs and I found the pot to be quite interesting so I bought "Undertow" which i kinda liked but not too much. I'm checking out the other stuff right now
@@vegadrums7 tool takes time. one listen is just you taking it in and processing, then the second time is when you realize the quirks and tickles and start to understand, the holy three is when the power of the song comes through and see how amazing and beyond this simple 3d plane of existence.
my dad is a huge tool fan. nobody really remembers when they were a baby, but I remember he listened to this album specifically a lot, so their music is sort of nostalgic to me. he owns all the cds and knows all of the lyrics to every song and even some of the guitar riffs. getting into the band years later, i feel enlightened. every song means something to me
Mein Vater hat mir als ich ein Baby war, immer ein Headset auf den Kopf gesetzt und Tool abgespielt. Heute bin ich 37 Jahre alt. Ich habe mein gesamtes Leben Tool gehört.
One of the greatest bands ever(TOOL), Maynard James Keenan, because you're awesome & so happy you like it! :D TOOL is about to release an album, first in like 14 years. That's probably why it just popped up for you(trending now). If I were you, I'd start listening to their oldest stuff first. Seriously, it's so good. I credit this band(along with a couple of others) for keeping me from ending my life in my teen years. Things were super rough. Family wasn't there for me; only music. TOOL's music is therapeutic for a lot of people. Now you have the advantage of being able to look up their lyrics & music videos easily. :) In the 90s & early 2000s, we didn't have that option as much. It was very hard to find this stuff, which made it more adventurous, but still. ;) I'd say check out their music videos first... You can listen to their albums from start to finish; it's an experience. If you smoke weed, that also adds some fun, lol. Happy trails, Miquel! :D
@@JaseekaRawr I vociferously second that! Take Jaseeka's advice and believe me, you will not be disappointed. Tool is genuinely an experience that you can never forget!
Welcome to the club and enjoy the ride. Ensure you study the words and meanings of each song because the members of Tool are some of the most intelligent songwriters of our time. Once you’ve got that done then study the timing; listen to the timing in Lateralus....you’ll never listen to any other song the same.
TOOL as a band means the world to me! I believe once in a life time people should see TOOL live and its one of my little dreams. But Im om the other side of pond and its covid.. so i gotta wait lol. TOOL
I'm 58, born '66. My son, now 38, introduced me to a cd mix of Tool in my '83 GMC, Lifted truck in 2002. He told me I might like the mix. Yeah.... No Doubt!!❤❤❤❤❤ my son knows great music!!! Ty Addison❤ YOU ROCK!!!!!!
This is absolutely my favourite Tool song. The final scream + build up (let go, let go, LET GO, LET GOOOO) give me chills every fucking time that I listen do this masterpiece.
I'm 60 years old and have a very comprehensive and varied taste in music, I'd got to the stage where I was happy with the music I knew and loved Then along came tool and it was like that time all over again when you get the chills as if music had just been invented I'm proud to say that my then 14 year old son was the person who introduced me to them,and against all odds managed to get tickets to see them at the brixton academy on the 21/08/2007 HIS 15TH BIRTHDAY!! He is 30 now and last year returned the favour and bought us tickets to see them at the London 02 arena Love you Dale Sargeant x
I remember where I was when I first heard this. I was at university, in the midst of studying for a degree that I did not like anymore, upset with the world after having recently lost my father, and going nowhere. This song was recommended in my feed and I had listened only to a few songs off 10,000 Days at the time. I listened to this song for what felt like hours, coming to the realisation that I am not happy here, only doing this degree because it was something that my father didn't disprove of. I was angry at him and in turn angry at myself. I decided from that day forward I was going to make sure that I was going to do what made me happy and glad to simply be. I wasn't going to live my life accomplishing other people's goals except for my own. This song and Tool have changed me, for the better. Cannot thank this group enough for that, they helped me forgive my father.
Well fucking said man. I am doing shit my own way now for 10+ years and life is so good. Pissing people off along the way only brings me satisfaction and I continue to be me out of spite. It's glorious.
I Had a brief moment in time with a similar feeling when i was old enough to be told that I was adopted and that my Real Mother and Father were taken within 12 hours of each other right after Christmas Day. "Tis the season to be Jolly" hmmmm. Didn't have a chance to study at a college for any type of degree. But Alas, Here I am today, right now, enjoying this music and working from home on the architectural plans for a 50,000 s.f. Custom home along PCH1 in Pacific Palisades, Ca. I could have held a grudge and it would have held me back. I could choose to keep thinking about all that I lost or even never had but where is the Effen challenge with that. There are many things that you dont' get to choose but how you decide to deal with any situation is YOUR choice. When the dust settles anyone who is not on your side never was and that's fine by me. When the world tries to kick you in the ass, turn around take it with a smile then perry and punch that mother fucker right in the nose. Then you can laugh and say now that's done can we move on I got some shit to do. Que Next Tool Song.
Bands have sounded like Zeplin Bands have sounded like Nirvana Bands have sounded like Iron Maiden Bands have even sounded like Priest, Ozzy and Sabbath But No one. And I mean no one.......sounds like Tool. Lol
This song literally helps me be a better person. I can't count the number of times I've been holding onto anger towards someone in my life, only to make myself listen to this song and let go of that cold and fated anchor.
I discovered Tool in 2008. I had the a great idea of buying all their CDs at the music store and thought I could save some money by buying them used. I never found a used CD. When people buy a Tool CD they never give it up.
I discover Tool in 2002, here in Mexico their cd's were expensive, we only can get the imported ones, fortunately I was able to buy the bootleg versions, and they were awesome, now I have all their work on vinyl, a true delight.
All that entropy results in a mental breakdown, when you can no longer endure the repeating pattern. It's the violent lashing out to break free from the cocoon that suffocates you.
You ever try the practice of Sacred Secretion? Fasting external chemicals, letting perceptual concepts of cymatics disappear into fractalized light show to see the reality of ALL. Then falling out of the body becomes easier. The recycling of specialized neurochemicals...ones that might control the memory function of cymatics which becomes your external senses. They unveil
Metalhead for 20 years. Never listened to Tool. Found missing piece of soul. An old girlfriend mentioned this band to me, and it's one of the best thing's I've ever heard!
That scream Maynard lets out at 7:00 minutes is absolutely insane. It was like 25 seconds of full blast, hard core scream that very few people in the world could probably pull off. CRAZINESS
"For the lyrics on Laterlus, I wanted to address the same kind of stuff as Ænima. I wanted to explore that sense of release, kind of combining archetypes with where we were in our lives at that point. On the previous album, we had gone through that whole transformation, what some refer to as the "Saturn return" - your 28th or 29th year, when you're given the opportunity to transform from whatever your hangups were before and to let the light of knowledge and experience lighten your load, so to speak, and let go of old patterns and embrace a new life. It's kind of the story of Jonah and the belly of the whale. You kind of sink or swim at that point. And a lot of people don't make it. Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain didn't quite make it past their Saturn return. For me, starting to recognize those patterns, it was very important to start constructing songs that chronicled that process, hoping that my gift back would be to share that path and hope that I could help somebody get past that spot. And the first step in that is just being aware of it." (MJK)
@@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred What is the source for Maynard fucking up his throat? Maynard is a professional and I believe he is able to perform this scream without any damage or pain.
@@goldfishgallant he testified that when they were recording the song, it fucked his float up when he did that scream, and he just doesn’t want to perform the scream in tour because of the risk. I read it on their fansite years ago
@@andrewmcpherson8441 This song has 3 really soaring moments in my opinion. It's the little breakdown bit that you guys already mentioned, the scream, and Danny's drum solo esq bit at the end.
Instrumental perfection, perfect vocals, twists and turns, Maynard and company are not only artists but highly intellectual rock musicians that are the perfect blend of high energy relentless perfection.
The 3 and half minutes of building makes that riff just cut like glass. Tool is transformative. They use audio illusion techniques to hold back the melody, then smash you with it.

You forgot the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" part
Absolutely. I always say that every good band has a perfect album but songs that are as good or better outside of the masterpiece. Tool is a perfect example Lateralus is my favorite of all time.
I have discovered that if you begin mining stone with a stone pickaxe in Minecraft just at the right time the amount of time it takes you to fully destroy the stone matches up with the guitar riff at the beginning of this song.
Fun fact: vocals for 6:58 were recorded when Maynard tried to walk to the bathroom in the dark to not wake anyone up, but proceeded to step on a lego... that's why he's mumbling le-go, le-go, le-go after the scream.
@@michaelburman2108 I really enjoyed my first listen. Haven't checked out the lyrics yet. It seemed to convey sorrow. The theme in my head was some kind of departure. I imagined being in a space capsule leaving Earth and witnessing how it's torn apart while drifting into the black unknown.
this is why I love Tool, the more you listen to their music, the more it feels like it isn't JUST music. It's more like a journey and a deep spiritual feeling that doesnt go away. It just gets better the more you listen to them. It's crazy that I've listen to their albums for years on now for almost every day and don't get tired of them. Many songs out there hit hard and stay with you for a while, and you move on. But not Tool. Tool is not like that for me, which is why I love them so much
So true! I don't listen to them on daily basis but when I get back to an old song of their which I love, every time I discover some new meaning in the lyrics or capture sounds I haven't noticed before
I can relate to the lyrics so much. Ive just turned 30 this year (hence the saturn return) and for the past it feels like im fighting with 'negative' aspects of my self and battling what things to let go in order to grow. The scream at the end makes the point so clear. Im so glad i discovered tool this year!! Its been a long time since i heard music i can connect with.
Tribute to my friend Robbie who passed away this May year in 2021 due to suicide...I'll miss you more than you'll ever know my dear friend. Your demons ended you but for me I want them to engulf me to survive 2021 beyond my friend. I hope you'll understand. He got me onto this album back in 2012 as a form of meditation but now he sadly didn't make it now, I owe it to him to carry on but my intentions are different to him. He lived by TOOL law and mantra yet the pandemic and family problems ended him, such a kind and giving man. We were the Yin and Yang here, the good died young and I lost a friend while myself neutral to villainous survives..Why is it the good never make it in this life?!...RIP 1986 to 2021...🥺👿😈😈👿😈
That's sad bro, hope he finally found the peace in death they couldn't find in life. Whether you do or don't believe, both of you and your families are in my prayers. Check out "Whole" by flaw if you haven't heard of it already....
This world isn't a place for good people. They can't help but be weighed down by the horrors of waking up to this strange place everyday. Hopefully, your friend finds himself in a better place, or perhaps a better time. I wish you the best.
Just want to say thank you all for the kind comments here and yes I've also lost another friend and two family members myself both this and last year. But I'm no different from anyone else here and I don't seek to be as we've all lost something here and there. It's not about me I guess but sometimes I struggle sometimes waking up to figure how to use my friends teachings in this blasted 2021 here?! I often think: "No what?! How do I use the teachings in such an awful time such as now?!" I'll use them in my own way here and there. As for this planet/society?! It's damned itself and I don't have to do anything as it'll do itself. I'll just do the clean up should I survive?! Thanks and bless you all sigh...
I will forever be in love with this band. I don't know how to describe their music other than it just being so freakin awesome. I mean there isn't a song that I dislike of theirs, the drums, the bass, the guitar and the vocals are just pure perfection on every song. Very rarely do I come across a band that has more than a couple songs I like and watching the videos for TOOL'S music makes me feel like I am being transported to another planet with all these strange creatures surrounding me. lol. Also, I can't relate to anyone who doesn't know who TOOL is, we def wouldn't be compatible because I talk about/listen to this band everyday. This is a band I have listened to since I was a teenager and some call it weird and wicked music but that's what I love about it, it's different and that's what I relate to. ❤
Why have you guys been hiding this? How in all my years have tool escaped me. Absolute fire. This is what music is all about. Might have missed them the first time round but I'm now hooked.
Been feeling depressed today. Scrolled thru my list of artists to play something that would make me feel anything. I scrolled thru the whole list couldnt find anything. Then I remembered Tool. The band that got me thru highschool and coooollege. I selected Lateralus turned it up and felt alive again.

accurate lyrics:
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell
Saturn ascends
Choose one or ten
Hang on or be humbled again
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen
Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive and sinking deeper
Defining
Confining
And sinking deeper
Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent
Saturn comes back around.
Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go
Choose to let this go
Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor

Im lucky. A good year to discover TOOL
Yep i discovered it like 2 weeks ago
Do yourself a favor and look into the meaning behind the lyrics as well as the song structure.
@@nicademus84 can you say some tool songs that are very good and not grudge,sober,schism,parabola,lateralus or vicarious
@@nicademus84 I did already and I think this band is the best artistic creation in human history
@@juhis66611 The Pot, Jambi, Wings (both parts), right in two, Disposition+Reflection, Flood, Forty six and two, AEnema are good examples
I am ferociously jealous of the people hearing this song for the first time.
It's my first time
It's my first time and I don't really like it 😐
@@vegadrums7 sorry your brain can't take you there man. Your missing out.
@@colins1358 should I take it as an insult?😂 idk I liked Sober a lot, so i checked out other tool songs and I found the pot to be quite interesting so I bought "Undertow" which i kinda liked but not too much. I'm checking out the other stuff right now
@@vegadrums7 tool takes time. one listen is just you taking it in and processing, then the second time is when you realize the quirks and tickles and start to understand, the holy three is when the power of the song comes through and see how amazing and beyond this simple 3d plane of existence.
my dad is a huge tool fan. nobody really remembers when they were a baby, but I remember he listened to this album specifically a lot, so their music is sort of nostalgic to me. he owns all the cds and knows all of the lyrics to every song and even some of the guitar riffs. getting into the band years later, i feel enlightened. every song means something to me
That's freaking awesome, man! You're very lucky to have such memories and emotions to their songs.
Mein Vater hat mir als ich ein Baby war, immer ein Headset auf den Kopf gesetzt und Tool abgespielt. Heute bin ich 37 Jahre alt. Ich habe mein gesamtes Leben Tool gehört.
They are a gift
@AshlieMay80-Mar24 I'm turning 19 this year, not old enough to have enjoyed tool in their prime but old enough to know who they are :)
I can only hope my equal efforts turn my children into the blessed, enlightened being you have become. Keep Going....
I don't know what's this, nor who is the singer, nor why is this on my feed but I absolutely love this band
One of the greatest bands ever(TOOL), Maynard James Keenan, because you're awesome & so happy you like it! :D
TOOL is about to release an album, first in like 14 years. That's probably why it just popped up for you(trending now). If I were you, I'd start listening to their oldest stuff first. Seriously, it's so good. I credit this band(along with a couple of others) for keeping me from ending my life in my teen years. Things were super rough. Family wasn't there for me; only music. TOOL's music is therapeutic for a lot of people. Now you have the advantage of being able to look up their lyrics & music videos easily. :) In the 90s & early 2000s, we didn't have that option as much. It was very hard to find this stuff, which made it more adventurous, but still. ;)
I'd say check out their music videos first... You can listen to their albums from start to finish; it's an experience. If you smoke weed, that also adds some fun, lol. Happy trails, Miquel! :D
@@JaseekaRawr I vociferously second that! Take Jaseeka's advice and believe me, you will not be disappointed. Tool is genuinely an experience that you can never forget!
One of us. One of us. One of us. One of us. One of us.

If I were to pick 60 seconds of Tool's entire discography, it would probably be this.
I'm getting into TOOL music. Dude, this is amazing. Don't know why I didn't listen to them before. But well, I guess it's way better late than never!
Welcome to the club and enjoy the ride. Ensure you study the words and meanings of each song because the members of Tool are some of the most intelligent songwriters of our time. Once you’ve got that done then study the timing; listen to the timing in Lateralus....you’ll never listen to any other song the same.
@@Rudderify well said, brother, my pneuma.
TOOL as a band means the world to me! I believe once in a life time people should see TOOL live and its one of my little dreams. But Im om the other side of pond and its covid.. so i gotta wait lol.
TOOL
Use this Tool for your vision of live.
Enjoy.
we welcome you with open arms 🤘
I'm 58, born '66. My son, now 38, introduced me to a cd mix of Tool in my '83 GMC, Lifted truck in 2002. He told me I might like the mix.
Yeah.... No Doubt!!❤❤❤❤❤ my son knows great music!!! Ty Addison❤ YOU ROCK!!!!!!
Last 30 seconds:
Danny Carey: “It’s free real estate”
Pretty much Adam during the whole Fear Inoculum album now.
Not that i'm complaining.
fuuuaar the kinda drummer that simultaneously inspires you to create but also to quit...
Too bloody insane that guy
I JUST CAME....
@@TheChimmyChunga he's on another level than most.
sucks to be a drummer and a tool fan
This is absolutely my favourite Tool song. The final scream + build up (let go, let go, LET GO, LET GOOOO) give me chills every fucking time that I listen do this masterpiece.
@Connorshark lol
Is Danny Carey even human?
yep. pure perfect animalistic aggression. greatest metal song ever
This is an absolute masterpiece
henrybonz0 it’s so cool that he says let go because that’s the name of my other favorite artists first album, Avril Lavigne
The scream, which occurs at 7 minutes, really encapsulates the ultimate frustration. Sometimes I'll just put on the scream and let go....
I'm 60 years old and have a very comprehensive and varied taste in music, I'd got to the stage where I was happy with the music I knew and loved
Then along came tool and it was like that time all over again when you get the chills as if music had just been invented
I'm proud to say that my then 14 year old son was the person who introduced me to them,and against all odds managed to get tickets to see them at the brixton academy on the 21/08/2007
HIS 15TH BIRTHDAY!! He is 30 now and last year returned the favour and bought us tickets to see them at the London 02 arena
Love you Dale Sargeant x
I really would like to have 10 Likes to give to this comment.
@thecrimsonking187 thank you that's very kind of you x
This is the coolest comment ever! Made my day!
From one Dad to another RIGHT ON. DAD LIFE IS THE BEST LIFE!
hope dale sees this!
I remember where I was when I first heard this. I was at university, in the midst of studying for a degree that I did not like anymore, upset with the world after having recently lost my father, and going nowhere. This song was recommended in my feed and I had listened only to a few songs off 10,000 Days at the time.
I listened to this song for what felt like hours, coming to the realisation that I am not happy here, only doing this degree because it was something that my father didn't disprove of. I was angry at him and in turn angry at myself. I decided from that day forward I was going to make sure that I was going to do what made me happy and glad to simply be. I wasn't going to live my life accomplishing other people's goals except for my own.
This song and Tool have changed me, for the better. Cannot thank this group enough for that, they helped me forgive my father.
Well fucking said man. I am doing shit my own way now for 10+ years and life is so good. Pissing people off along the way only brings me satisfaction and I continue to be me out of spite. It's glorious.
This kind of stuff oughtta be top-comment here.
Wow. Thank you.
In the same boat
I Had a brief moment in time with a similar feeling when i was old enough to be told that I was adopted and that my Real Mother and Father were taken within 12 hours of each other right after Christmas Day. "Tis the season to be Jolly" hmmmm. Didn't have a chance to study at a college for any type of degree. But Alas, Here I am today, right now, enjoying this music and working from home on the architectural plans for a 50,000 s.f. Custom home along PCH1 in Pacific Palisades, Ca. I could have held a grudge and it would have held me back. I could choose to keep thinking about all that I lost or even never had but where is the Effen challenge with that. There are many things that you dont' get to choose but how you decide to deal with any situation is YOUR choice. When the dust settles anyone who is not on your side never was and that's fine by me. When the world tries to kick you in the ass, turn around take it with a smile then perry and punch that mother fucker right in the nose. Then you can laugh and say now that's done can we move on I got some shit to do. Que Next Tool Song.
TOOL is a band I can't even believe exists, but am so happy it does. I cannot be more grateful that I found it at the time I did.
Love
The timing is pretty good at working itself out
Same.
Bands have sounded like Zeplin
Bands have sounded like Nirvana
Bands have sounded like Iron Maiden
Bands have even sounded like Priest, Ozzy and Sabbath
But No one. And I mean no one.......sounds like Tool. Lol
@@brandonwong2488try soen
I couldn't imagine life without this song. Tool is the fuckin best. Ever.
Danny said this is one of the hardest songs for him to play if the band isn’t in shape. Love it!
I'm glad reels brought you here. Welcome and hold the fuck on for dear life it's a wild ride my friend
This song literally helps me be a better person. I can't count the number of times I've been holding onto anger towards someone in my life, only to make myself listen to this song and let go of that cold and fated anchor.
Listen to this album blazed (or not) in a dark room no light. Sit back and let go
Sit in your car and sing this song including the minute long scream and you will feel like a new man haha
Me to man, that is awsome to hear! This is such a powerfull tune!! Best band ever
Yea, this band is literally a tool. So great to see someone use it.
Not to be that guy but it's fettid not fated
I discovered Tool in 2008. I had the a great idea of buying all their CDs at the music store and thought I could save some money by buying them used. I never found a used CD. When people buy a Tool CD they never give it up.
I saw aenima at a thrift store and someone had stolen the cd inside :(
@@kennethhaggerty153 More likely the person donated an empty case.
einherjar 81 still weird because those cases are cool af
Sometimes we buy two copies, in fact.
I discover Tool in 2002, here in Mexico their cd's were expensive, we only can get the imported ones, fortunately I was able to buy the bootleg versions, and they were awesome, now I have all their work on vinyl, a true delight.
7:51 My god does that capture that teeth clenching eye closing struggle to free yourself. Tool is masterful.
All that entropy results in a mental breakdown, when you can no longer endure the repeating pattern. It's the violent lashing out to break free from the cocoon that suffocates you.
You ever try the practice of Sacred Secretion? Fasting external chemicals, letting perceptual concepts of cymatics disappear into fractalized light show to see the reality of ALL. Then falling out of the body becomes easier. The recycling of specialized neurochemicals...ones that might control the memory function of cymatics which becomes your external senses. They unveil
"Clutch it like a corner stone" groove is the coolest part of the song for me ...what a classic
7:33 Love the part when they start chanting Lego. I have a few sets of Lego myself.
I know the pieces fit cause I have a couple bricks collections too
Me: Hey, want to go out sometime?
Crush: Sure, I’d love to.
My alarm: 7:00
Ask him/her out. You're gonna regret it for years if you don't, trust me
Yep ask em out if they say no you know where you stand
Nothing to lose, just let goooooooooooooo!
yep go do it I did too lol
I think everyone here missed the joke 😂
Metalhead for 20 years.
Never listened to Tool.
Found missing piece of soul.
An old girlfriend mentioned this band to me, and it's one of the best thing's I've ever heard!
Welcome to the next level
I like music period but Maynard is very smart and intellectual
you should have stayed with her :p
Jesus man, you been living under a rock? Metalhead for 20 years and not hearing of tool until now? Have you been in a coma?
@@dustin3876 nah, I Just listened to Breakin' the Law 3,994,547 times.
This is not a song.its a piece of art.the best piece i ever heard
You sir, are absolutely correct
It's like a massage for your brain
This is probably the most relevant Tool song to me. Saturn is brutal.
preach! but he teaches you lessons you need.
So brutal... but I love it... I’m at the last degree...
Just don't sink, like the lyrics says. Wish you well.
Yes he is. But what a great teacher...
Astrology isn’t real but trials and tribulations certainly are.
That scream Maynard lets out at 7:00 minutes is absolutely insane. It was like 25 seconds of full blast, hard core scream that very few people in the world could probably pull off. CRAZINESS
Every Tool song is my favorite one.
That’s because they all sound the same
Teachers pet
God, the ending man. Danny Carey... Wow! I've heard a lot of songs from them but that drum solo was a complete shred! What a cool freakin' song!!
"For the lyrics on Laterlus, I wanted to address the same kind of stuff as Ænima. I wanted to explore that sense of release, kind of combining archetypes with where we were in our lives at that point. On the previous album, we had gone through that whole transformation, what some refer to as the "Saturn return" - your 28th or 29th year, when you're given the opportunity to transform from whatever your hangups were before and to let the light of knowledge and experience lighten your load, so to speak, and let go of old patterns and embrace a new life. It's kind of the story of Jonah and the belly of the whale. You kind of sink or swim at that point. And a lot of people don't make it. Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain didn't quite make it past their Saturn return. For me, starting to recognize those patterns, it was very important to start constructing songs that chronicled that process, hoping that my gift back would be to share that path and hope that I could help somebody get past that spot. And the first step in that is just being aware of it." (MJK)

Fans: love it
Yeah lol
it's perfect
Maynard fucked up his throat recording this and when I was a kid I used to fuck up my throat screaming the lyrics in my car
@@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred What is the source for Maynard fucking up his throat? Maynard is a professional and I believe he is able to perform this scream without any damage or pain.
@@goldfishgallant he testified that when they were recording the song, it fucked his float up when he did that scream, and he just doesn’t want to perform the scream in tour because of the risk.
I read it on their fansite years ago
This song just keeps getting better and better.
year after year....yes it does...
Truly
so fucking true
Hearing this live was one of the best moments of my life.
3:53 will always be one of my favorite Tool moments. Regards from planet Earth, from here to eternity.
YES. Everyone remarks about the scream but IMO this is the best moment in the song.
@@andrewmcpherson8441 This song has 3 really soaring moments in my opinion. It's the little breakdown bit that you guys already mentioned, the scream, and Danny's drum solo esq bit at the end.
@@djentrification1631 exactly
Those palm mutes...
Pure eargasm. This might be the best tool riff ever
That primal war cry toward the end... that's the sound of a man going into battle, roaring at the universe itself, to fight his own demons.
20 years later: still getting chills…
Instrumental perfection, perfect vocals, twists and turns, Maynard and company are not only artists but highly intellectual rock musicians that are the perfect blend of high energy relentless perfection.
Yes, highly intellectual band. Quality lyrics, great great music ❤
That riff at 3:54 gets me every time. Goosebumps. 👏🏻
Me too. I think it probably always will🌀
The 3 and half minutes of building makes that riff just cut like glass. Tool is transformative. They use audio illusion techniques to hold back the melody, then smash you with it.
That snare drum just cutting through like a knife. Its so good.
One of the greatest bands of our generation. Hands down. Underrated lyrics. Impeccable musicians. Top tier music.
Lyrics:
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell
Saturn ascends
Choose one or ten
Hang on or be humbled again
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen
Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive and sinking deeper
Defining
Confining
And sinking deeper
Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent
Saturn comes back around.
Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go
Choose to let this go
Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold
Let go
virgen
OMG😂🤔
You forgot the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" part
Just discovered this song bout a month ago, but been listening to tool for 20 years😨
Thanks!
This song is absolutely flawless. Nothing to add or subtract
"And we're sinking deeper"...
Some people are just better at their jobs than others....greatest band of all time
That part is the true start of the album for me
"and were sinking deeper" same thing they said on the titanic sub
The start of the best album of all time
Amen brother
Absolutely. I always say that every good band has a perfect album but songs that are as good or better outside of the masterpiece. Tool is a perfect example
Lateralus is my favorite of all time.
Laterlus is the best album ever recorded.
Tools best album period!
I have discovered that if you begin mining stone with a stone pickaxe in Minecraft just at the right time the amount of time it takes you to fully destroy the stone matches up with the guitar riff at the beginning of this song.
Such a mundane thing to notice 😂
Talk about a good drop from the block. :)
Coincidence? I think not
omg they thought about everything
Yo thats deep...
At 45yrs old why do I still get chills when I hear that scream?
cause your a cool 45 year old from a new 56 year old tool fan ..lol
Means you are still alive.
I'm 43 yo and have chills too when I listen to this !
Cuz Maynard probably did this scream at a show when he was 45 (I’m literally guessing)
who doesn't?
it's one of the coolest screams i've ever heard
This is my favorite Tool song. The outro is a masterpiece.
Danny Carey said that this was the hardest song to play physically on the drums. He said that if he's not in shape, it will wear him out.
Welcome, all the new Tool fans.
Welcome to our world :)
Benjamin Lees the REAL world. The Matrix of music...
yeah i only started listening to tool like a few months ago, just got to this album.
ROCK ! Thanks. ROCK !
I'm an old cat from '93 but the tribe is our tribe! Which I long for y'all very much as I'm all by my lonesome in these Western NC mountains..

Tool songs are like a bottle of good wine, it gets even better with time.

Saw them last night for the 4th time ever in my life (1/19/2022, San Diego). 2nd time ever seeing them play this song live and it never gets old!!!
I was gonna buy the Matthew Knight Arena tickets but I was busy
I was at the Anaheim show . they played this and Maynard did the grudge scream!
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of this masterpiece!!!
it's 1am and I am sitting here absolutely floored by this music.
Carey brings the end of the song to another dimension. He's not human. He can't be.
Dude Tool just never stops to impress me
i know that feeling, the best song is the last you listened to
Hector Nah, the best song is The Grudge
Edit: Or third eye
Thats the point
Pure brillance.
It will never stop my man.
Fun fact: vocals for 6:58 were recorded when Maynard tried to walk to the bathroom in the dark to not wake anyone up, but proceeded to step on a lego... that's why he's mumbling le-go, le-go, le-go after the scream.
honestly somebody must had got real bored in the bathroom to take legos there
Funniest thing I've read in a while 😂😂😂
Or he wanted some waffles.
@@jcreature11 The release of 10,000 Days was a confirmation that he could not afford waffles
This comment wins by a length that is almost as long as said scream.
Danny said in an interview that this was the hardest song to play. Especially if not have kept up in a while playing it live.
Danny Carey’s splash cymbal after “gold” is one of the best sounds ever
One of my top 10 favorite drummers
For sure, this song has a few perfect segways but the "gold" trigger is sucy a cool transition for what follows
Danny Carey my favorite drummer. No close second for me.👍
nobody hits harder than danny
I'm 45 and now i'm finally digging it.
Feels like after all these years my understanding of music matured.
I guess I wasn't completely ready for Tool when I was younger. Pure chills.. I'm gonna have fun going through this catalog.
Same. I'm glad I appreciate it now it's actually changed my life not to sound corny AF.
@@tlwest21 Doesn't sound corny at all. I 1000% understand what you mean. They were fucking profound. For real.
One day in 1990 3 aliens and an octopus created a rock band.
The Beatles had "The walrus was Paul", TOOL has "The octopus is Danny".
Mettalica has Lars is a sea cucumber
So imagine being at the new years eve party and this band shows up and plays.🤯
I've loved TOOL since 1997. I still find something new every time I listen to their work. And it IS work. What a fucking insanely brilliant band.
The buildup to 7:00 I have goosebumps every time, I'm in tears by the time it's over. So freeing to let it go, finally getting the weight off you.
First time actively listening to this. Blew my face right off.
Haven't listened to Wings For Marie yet. Really enjoying my 'newcomer phase'
Let me know it goes mate. Lateralus is a great one too
@@michaelburman2108 I really enjoyed my first listen. Haven't checked out the lyrics yet. It seemed to convey sorrow. The theme in my head was some kind of departure. I imagined being in a space capsule leaving Earth and witnessing how it's torn apart while drifting into the black unknown.
this is why I love Tool, the more you listen to their music, the more it feels like it isn't JUST music. It's more like a journey and a deep spiritual feeling that doesnt go away. It just gets better the more you listen to them. It's crazy that I've listen to their albums for years on now for almost every day and don't get tired of them. Many songs out there hit hard and stay with you for a while, and you move on. But not Tool. Tool is not like that for me, which is why I love them so much
So true! I don't listen to them on daily basis but when I get back to an old song of their which I love, every time I discover some new meaning in the lyrics or capture sounds I haven't noticed before
Could not have said better myself, greetings from the uk, fellow tool fan.
I can relate to the lyrics so much. Ive just turned 30 this year (hence the saturn return) and for the past it feels like im fighting with 'negative' aspects of my self and battling what things to let go in order to grow. The scream at the end makes the point so clear. Im so glad i discovered tool this year!! Its been a long time since i heard music i can connect with.
Heard this for the first time a few days ago, and 7:00 hit me like a truck. I’m still amazed, but that feeling was unbelievable
I don't think I've ever heard a better song than this. I've listened to a lot of artists, but this checks every box for me.
7:00 Maynard on a rollercoaster
I'm seeing Tool this weekend and i'm so stoked
Just saw them last week. Best show overall out of the 9 that I have experienced
TOOL WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!
Tribute to my friend Robbie who passed away this May year in 2021 due to suicide...I'll miss you more than you'll ever know my dear friend. Your demons ended you but for me I want them to engulf me to survive 2021 beyond my friend. I hope you'll understand. He got me onto this album back in 2012 as a form of meditation but now he sadly didn't make it now, I owe it to him to carry on but my intentions are different to him. He lived by TOOL law and mantra yet the pandemic and family problems ended him, such a kind and giving man. We were the Yin and Yang here, the good died young and I lost a friend while myself neutral to villainous survives..Why is it the good never make it in this life?!...RIP 1986 to 2021...🥺👿😈😈👿😈
That's sad bro, hope he finally found the peace in death they couldn't find in life. Whether you do or don't believe, both of you and your families are in my prayers. Check out "Whole" by flaw if you haven't heard of it already....
This world isn't a place for good people. They can't help but be weighed down by the horrors of waking up to this strange place everyday. Hopefully, your friend finds himself in a better place, or perhaps a better time. I wish you the best.
All the best to you and sorry about your friend xo
So sorry for your loss
Just want to say thank you all for the kind comments here and yes I've also lost another friend and two family members myself both this and last year. But I'm no different from anyone else here and I don't seek to be as we've all lost something here and there. It's not about me I guess but sometimes I struggle sometimes waking up to figure how to use my friends teachings in this blasted 2021 here?! I often think: "No what?! How do I use the teachings in such an awful time such as now?!" I'll use them in my own way here and there. As for this planet/society?! It's damned itself and I don't have to do anything as it'll do itself. I'll just do the clean up should I survive?! Thanks and bless you all sigh...
TooL is like if every member of the band performed their solo at the same time on every song.
Bad ass band.Talented musicians. Love their music
I will forever be in love with this band. I don't know how to describe their music other than it just being so freakin awesome. I mean there isn't a song that I dislike of theirs, the drums, the bass, the guitar and the vocals are just pure perfection on every song. Very rarely do I come across a band that has more than a couple songs I like and watching the videos for TOOL'S music makes me feel like I am being transported to another planet with all these strange creatures surrounding me. lol. Also, I can't relate to anyone who doesn't know who TOOL is, we def wouldn't be compatible because I talk about/listen to this band everyday. This is a band I have listened to since I was a teenager and some call it weird and wicked music but that's what I love about it, it's different and that's what I relate to. ❤
couldn’t have said it better myself brother, they are awesome
Why have you guys been hiding this?
How in all my years have tool escaped me. Absolute fire. This is what music is all about. Might have missed them the first time round but I'm now hooked.
Check out their live shows, fucking insane
I would give a lot of money to be able to listen to this again as a "first timer"
I have listen to this song so many times and it continues to raise the hair on my head and arms powerful
I hear you, same here
Danny carry is a true genius on the drums. I will say it and will allways say it, He is the best drummer of our generation!
Been a fan for nearly 20 years and still absolutely blows my mind! Love it when you understand a track for the first time!
Great tune. Great concert rained hard and no one left. Medicated for your protection. Yes
Been feeling depressed today. Scrolled thru my list of artists to play something that would make me feel anything. I scrolled thru the whole list couldnt find anything. Then I remembered Tool. The band that got me thru highschool and coooollege. I selected Lateralus turned it up and felt alive again.
How've you been?
@@soejrd24978 I was moved by your post. Thanks for that. Hope all the Tool freaks continue to stop in to refuel forever. This album is the one that sticks for me. Spiral out... keep going.
This song in the backcountry without lights is amazing
or any other time
