This song really is legendary. When Adam brings that guitar back in and Danny hits that gong, and the song hits the big crescendo....fucking toolgasm and a half.
I know exactly what level you're on pal. You can never digest a Tool record quickly and some tracks remain hidden for a while and for me this is one of those tracks. Once Descending had found its grip on me that was it, you can't get enough of it. Brilliant, brilliant record.
this is so beautiful... the entire album is a master piece. I'm new at Tool and I'm completely mesmerized listening Fear Inoculum as well as their previous albums... what have I been missing... Working from home while listening their albums from A to Z in the past two weeks. In these weird times this finding was a sort of gift! Thank you!!!!
You have no idea what you’ve missed. You have just luckily discovered this amazing band, welcome to the Tool universe. Your perception of music won’t be the same anymore.
In a way, I'm jealous of people who are just discovering this music right now.... I'm in a stage where I'm rediscovering all of the songs that I first heard 10 years ago or more, which is helping me to appreciate their new material even more. To hear any of these songs for the first time right now would be incredible! It's still incredible! For someone who's new to their material, I would take Maynard's advice and get into the groove of each song first, and then delve a little further into the lyrics. In so many ways, the music and lyrics are organically interwoven, yet there's so much going on, you kind of have to pick it apart a little to fully grasp it all. It's kind of similar how you have to take some steps back to fully see and appreciate a Monet. It is a feat of near impossibility to be able to fully process any full tool album on first listen. Any one song, really. This is coming from someone who's been a fan for nearly 30 years, and a trained audio engineer and guitar player of 22 years. On a great deal of their songs, I still catch things with almost each listen. It's got layers, like an onion!!!
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Hezekiah Troy thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
This song almost gives me anxiety. I get so overwhelmed with emotions every time I listen to it, still, I almost have to stop and breathe for 5 minutes after before I can do anything else. Amazing performance of it.
Nice to hear that I'm not the only one. The one thing that gets me through this is knowing that I will see them when they resume touring and I'll get to see and hear them perform this song. That will definitely be a high point!!
@@rcomaduran I am under the impression that TOOL at least changed my life since I heard them years ago. It sounds stupid, but I had never heard anything like this, and I would be surprised to see another band match them.
Not sure if anyone will ever read this, but those chills you feel, that means it's resonating with your harmonic vibrations. It's a phenomenon that I have felt hundreds of thousands of times ever since I was a child. Every song that sung to me; that recognized my reality. When I was 21 I discovered that it is my spirit that I feel. My energy, which I taught myself how to channel before I opened my 3rd eye. The first thing I learned was how to create a barrier to protect me while being harrassed by spiritual entities. The 2nd was relieving my neighbors of their joint and muscle pain through a combination of massage and channeling. As an empath I could feel their pain and what it was attached to. Perceiving it as energy I could channel out of an access point on the body and absorb. It left them feeling drained, but at peace. Each time that I did this I needed the entire next 24 hrs for personal recovery as I was experiencing the pain they described to me. To which I studied it as I suffered from it. Worth every second. It opened my mind even further. In a few months I pried open my 3rd eye and learned how to project this energy so I could hold my own against even more powerful entities. I had no teachers and Tool was my only influence. So many people claim that Tool's music makes them feel things they've never felt before. How many of them have discovered that these feelings are communications from their higher self? How many of them are still searching for the answers hidden within them?
To think that Danny, Adam and Justin write the music and then Maynard comes along afterwards, with a giant cherry for the lyrics, just blows my mind. Like adding Infinity to Infinity!
Have listened to nothing else since last August feels like I've got years left on this ALBUM, everytime I LISEN it just gets better TOOL have given us a masterpiece here .They are the Ultimate ,Decending is EPIC
so far the only band that i can listen to their songs multiple times a day for months on end and yet fall more in love with their music. i only started really listening to them for nostalgia because my dad always listened to them in the truck. i soon realized how truly amazing this band is.
@@jasonbell1698 There is just something in their music that makes you keep listening. They figured out how to subliminally get people addicted. Kudos to them for the recipe they use. The addiction could be worse, you could heat it with baking soda.....lol
NO, @Billy Broderick...Depending is epic, this week! Although afterwards, it will still be an epic piece, another track will have slid into its place unsuspected, and unnoticed, until we realize how amazingly epic that track is! For THAT WEEK. Lol
I saw Tool in Sydney feb 2020 and descending was the greatest 15 minutes of my entire life. I couldn't begin to explain to myself the experience I had. Dont think I'll ever experience anything like it ever again
@@redybull5 You are correct. The videos don't do it justice. Live it was like a fucking earthquake with the double drum/bass. Then the crescendo - MMMmmm it's like butter dripping off a hot biscuit!
Was never a big Tool fan till recently its hard to describe to someone how talented they are you just gotta fall down the rabbit hole and experience it for yourself
@@Daniel-xu6kd why do you insult me? There are a few good reasons why the sound is process like this... I'm not explaining why since you use that language...
The song, at first blush, appears to be a final call to arms. I believe now, after subsequent listens, that this is actually part of a lamentation. The final verses in the lead-up to the as-of-yet unpenned climax in a poem weaving the tale of an ultimate tragedy, bookmarked by "nothingness"/"origin" (i.e. before and after humanity) as if to punctuate the disorder humanity inflicted upon the world. It has the tone of a foregone conclusion and a kind of resigned expectation. A tone of foreknowledge. Of storytelling. It's as if the climax has yet to be sung but no doubt whatsoever how it plays out.
I agree the live version is more powerful, the album version is subdued. I prefer the more distorted guitars of Adams first solo than the cleaner version on the album
DeadOhioSky Really? Ha, every guitarist I've played with has gotten rid of their slides this way, always figured there had to be a better way. Guess there's not.
Must my favorite Tool song because I can’t stop listening to it. I’m partial to Tool’s longer songs already (Third Eye, 10,000 Days, Rosette Stoned, Reflection, Pushit, etc), but this song right here is something special. It’s their tour de force. And so tribal. We need to get our shit together if we want to make it as a species. Lest we cease to be.
I heard this for the first time live in Firenze in 2019. I remember my jaw dropping open during the middle bridge with the spotlights pointing in the sky. I listened to the whole discography afterwards to find this song as I did not know it had yet to be released and I was frustrated I could not find it, so you can imagine my relief when Fear Inoculum was finally out. This video brings back some great memories, so thank you!!
This video is living proof that Adam is a god. Not only is this his best guitar work to date but also if you look closely his appearance changes into a long haired all white wearing supernatural being. Very easy to miss from the untrained eye.
8:42 this is a moment that I hope people understand of these men on stage communicating in a way words could never even come close...this is absolutely stunning and what comes is something of the heavens man this is some powerfull shit
This part of the song just takes it to a whole new level, topped off by smashing the shit out of that fucking gong to release all that energy/emotion from the build-up. Has some elements of Reflection which temporarily takes me back to Lateralus. So glad I got to see them perform this song live on their recent tour.
Hell. This comes straight from the pit of hell. Lucifer. Maynard worships Lucifer- he tries to downplay the fact (i.e. Puscifer band name, etc.) But he knows he sold his soul for rock and roll. Admits it in Hooker with a Penis. Interdimensional beings? Hardly, just fallen angels/demons. Only makes sense that the one that oversaw music now leads humans astray...
@@troythompson991 I love these mafuckas to death.........hell, I've been listening to 'em FOR 30 GODDAMN YEARS..!!! And I'm DEEPLY religious.........but I could see that........I mean, music IS the only thing that humbles The Devil... ... ... ... ...so, yeah, that kinda checks out...
Thank you Adam, Maynard, Danny and Justin for making life at home during COVID-19 so much better. Where would we be without your incredible album to help us escape the isolation, loneliness and depression brought on by this terrible virus. Working at home for over a month now after self isolating for 2 weeks upon my return from Latvia. I pray our world returns to "normal" eventually.
When this album first came out, this song grabbed me more than anything else, not that I wasn't blown away from everything, this hit me at a time when I needed to hear such words, and it's like they said, this album is all about fear in its many forms. Not to mention, the first part with its words and melodies grasp you, hold you, comfort you, and even encourages you by the end, only to throw you up into the void and lets you drift for the rest of the song. I knew every song was over 10 minutes, but this one felt so much longer because of that instrumental ending, it just kept going and going and I didn't want it to end. Then you get your molecules rearranged by that gong hit, and it brings you back down to your body and you finally return from the void as something new, yet familiar all the same. That has always been the Tool experience.
I love this band so much. Tool has been in my playlist since the 90s. I saw them live for the first time in 2020 right before the world stood still. I’m glad I got chance to finally see them live. This particular song always gives me goosebumps. Adam’s guitar solo is up there with Stevie ray’s little wing for me. his guitar speaks to me and the reaction is raw and visceral every time I hear it and I’ve heard it a lot. Never gets old and I can’t say I feel that way about anything other than the music I love. I love the quality of this video but the crowd drowns out the solo at the climax. I know how they felt in that moment though because I felt that way too. Now the listening experience is even better because somewhere backstage in that moment, Maynard is playing operation.
Usually after a few days of listening to the same song or album over and over again, I’d get tired. But ever since the album released, I’ve listened to the whole album at least once a day everyday since it’s release.
Max D they used to build a structure with their songs, then tear it down. Now their building cities. It’s such a cool progression. These guys are better than ever
I saw Tool 10/27/2019 in Houston and in Las Vegas 1/17/2020. They didn't play this either time, unfortunately. Until (if) I get to see them play this live and after then this channel is my go to for the non existent live Tool concert footage that was hinted at by Adam Jones. The brave souls who took the risk by obtaining the footage and audio. And this channel for the editing!!!!!
the audience remaining in sacred silence for the entire beginning and then starting to cheer the exact moment Danny hits the gong gives me goosebumps every time
I saw this song live in Denver in January of this year and it blew me away. What's so great about Tool is that they have continued to redefine themselves over the years. They are truly artists in every sense of the word. Everytime I hear this song........it brings me back to that epic night.
I listen to this masterpiece at an incredible sunset at the beach with a dosis of shrooms and my tears just flowing over my face.. Was an incredible experience.
goosebumps so large my skin feels like im an alligator, maynard is actually referring to the death of all of you, which at this point is almost imminent.
This song was made while the first manned mission to outer space was reaching the closest planet system to ours some light years away. This band was on board making this specific song while travelling through space and time. An unknown time traveller just brought it to us on a usb stick. Thank you.
Just think of all the bands out there who decided to start recording albums during covid downtime. We should have some awesome music being released out there after it goes through mastering.
Tremendous Tool´s tune. A spectacular song, which goes through different great segments, with different variants and textures. Prog, heavy and great guitar´s solos.
My girlfriend is always saying I dont have all day for them to get into it. But really that's the genius of this album. It's like sex, you don't rush to climax. They are masters of the build up
The thing about Danny is that while others really smash the drums or get very physical when playing complex themes he seems to do it effortlessly. He doesn’t even flinch.
For me it starts at 4:39 when DC just STOPS for 7-8 secs so he and MJK can wind up for that “grand finale”. That entire last section from 4:39 to 5:43 is so emotional and building. To be there and hear/feel that energy would be almost too much.
This song gives me chills like very few songs can give. Also is it just me or is Maynard doing his usual thing with being out of the main view, and then he comes out visibly with a guitar after his vocals are done? there's a 3rd guitar player that appears after Maynards vocals and Im like oh shit he's rocking a guitar just to shine light on his guitarist brothers. I could be wrong
For a minute I thought holy shit, this is it, Tool is finally filming and compiling for a commercial dvd release. Then i read the comments after watching. Big effort though mate thanks!
1/20 at T Mobile Arena? That's the one and only time I've seen them, because one of my best friends moved his family from here in California to Colorado, and he bought us tickets and told me to meet him in Vegas in about a month. He knew I love music and playing guitar and that Tool had slipped through the cracks all these years without me knowing it. He told me what songs to listen to so I would be familiar-ish with enough of the setlist. Pretty much the coolest birthday present from a buddy ever. Haven't listened to anything other than Tool since then, really. I keep discovering things in songs that blow me away. Just a couple days ago it happened with Rosetta Stoned, which always sounded like a bit of a mess to me and I wouldn't really pay attention to the whole thing. Then I realized what Danny starts doing about 5 minutes into the song and now it's a favorite. Turns out I was shitting the bed.
AWESOME. I love this performance. And thank you to whoever posted this. I've seen the show three times this year. amd this is EXACTLY how i remembered it.!
@@toolliveremastered3055 THANK YOU, for posting/creating this. How they kept that last 1:00 of the song intact, without even looking at each other, still bewilders me... You do some excellent work here man. Hey if you're interested, look up my name and you'll find my live acoustic versions of The Grudge and Lateralus
Ancient civilizations would fall to their knees at the shit modern man has achieved...imagine in the days when music was considered a message from God hearing THIS echo through your skull...man...
My original thought was that this is the best song from the new ones, when I had a chance to experience it "live" in June 2019, still before the full album was out. Most people preferred "Invincible" but I loved this one the most. Sadly, it does not sound this awesome on the album any longer :( My personal #1 was taken by 7empest then :)
I saw them live in March of 22 and it was one incredible experience! To my great sorrow, however, they did not play this song. Descending, Lateralus and Ticks and Leeches are my bucket list songs to see live. I SERIOUSLY doubt Maynard will ever attempt Ticks live these days. But I still pray I can see them again and MAYBE I'll get one of my other two...
From this last album i think i like all the live ones better tbh. Didnt actually dig the mix and master of the album tbh. The dude that mixed and mastered that live pneuma recording is a freaeking legend. This one is really good as well.
I hate to think how many hours of my life I have spent going- Oh look another video of a TOOL song, must watch. saw this live before FI came out and was like a little kid. Once in a lifetime band
It has to be intentional: The album version keeps a balanced profile in being subdued and restrained so that they have all the room to blow you away live. Nicely played!
This song really is legendary. When Adam brings that guitar back in and Danny hits that gong, and the song hits the big crescendo....fucking toolgasm and a half.
I cry
Yeah Descending is so creativeness top
I know exactly what level you're on pal. You can never digest a Tool record quickly and some tracks remain hidden for a while and for me this is one of those tracks. Once Descending had found its grip on me that was it, you can't get enough of it. Brilliant, brilliant record.
9:55 Adam looks over with a small smile and gives a nod and boom, off they go!
Awesome segment.
At 9:41 I was moved to almost tears. The beauty of the music and the way the audience received it was near immeasurable.
I wish every song had a pro Danny cam like Vic firth did
If Vic Firth releases THAT video (2+ hours of Danny Carey drumcam), it would be number one at the box office!!
Nice thought.❤
That thought alone is enough to make a grown man jizz.
I wish they had one for Adam Jones
Oh my god I would fucking give anything!
Descending is such a f***ing excellent song!
word...
I personally prefer the live version.
And so appropriate for the shit happening in the world!

When the crowd erupts at the beginning I cried. I miss live music so much.
Beautiful music,it's truly the greatest band of all time,nothing sounds this good,Thank you for sharing the vid
Masterpiece! I was completely blown away by this song and Invincible aswell when I saw them in Copenhagen this tour.
Love this band for almost 30 years now. Loved them enough to put ink on my arms three times😂. Great video. Thanks.
When this album first came out, this song grabbed me more than anything else, not that I wasn't blown away from everything, this hit me at a time when I needed to hear such words, and it's like they said, this album is all about fear in its many forms. Not to mention, the first part with its words and melodies grasp you, hold you, comfort you, and even encourages you by the end, only to throw you up into the void and lets you drift for the rest of the song. I knew every song was over 10 minutes, but this one felt so much longer because of that instrumental ending, it just kept going and going and I didn't want it to end. Then you get your molecules rearranged by that gong hit, and it brings you back down to your body and you finally return from the void as something new, yet familiar all the same. That has always been the Tool experience.
G.O.A.T! Tool is hands down the BEST fucking band in existence!!
ABSOLUTELY!
I love this band so much. Tool has been in my playlist since the 90s. I saw them live for the first time in 2020 right before the world stood still. I’m glad I got chance to finally see them live. This particular song always gives me goosebumps. Adam’s guitar solo is up there with Stevie ray’s little wing for me. his guitar speaks to me and the reaction is raw and visceral every time I hear it and I’ve heard it a lot. Never gets old and I can’t say I feel that way about anything other than the music I love. I love the quality of this video but the crowd drowns out the solo at the climax. I know how they felt in that moment though because I felt that way too. Now the listening experience is even better because somewhere backstage in that moment, Maynard is playing operation.
Usually after a few days of listening to the same song or album over and over again, I’d get tired. But ever since the album released, I’ve listened to the whole album at least once a day everyday since it’s release.
dude same, rock on!!
Literally brought a tear to my eye at the gong hit
The chaos that just seems to build and build and then the gong hits and it all comes together. Chills...
Same. And same when I actually got to see it live
No band will ever exist in our lifetime like this dude that same thing happens to me.
gong hit or bong hit
Max D they used to build a structure with their songs, then tear it down. Now their building cities. It’s such a cool progression. These guys are better than ever
I saw Tool 10/27/2019 in Houston and in Las Vegas 1/17/2020. They didn't play this either time, unfortunately. Until (if) I get to see them play this live and after then this channel is my go to for the non existent live Tool concert footage that was hinted at by Adam Jones. The brave souls who took the risk by obtaining the footage and audio. And this channel for the editing!!!!!
Thanks for your appreciation.... And thanks once again to every camera man...
Mostly festival footage; they can't enforce the "no phones" policy. Here's looking forward to great footage at Bonnaroo this June :)
@@OneMansLoss that is quite correct. The best footage always came from Eastern European countries.
I was there 1/17 too, fellow traveler!
@@Dannyk-jh8lv It went by wayyyyy too fast for me. Fistbump my friend. We shared a special moment.
2:36 Adam Jones grows his hair and changes clothes in less than 1 second
Yea thats the fibonacci side effects
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Physicists are trying hard to prove it... TOOL already does Quantum Superposition!
the audience remaining in sacred silence for the entire beginning and then starting to cheer the exact moment Danny hits the gong gives me goosebumps every time
I saw this song live in Denver in January of this year and it blew me away. What's so great about Tool is that they have continued to redefine themselves over the years. They are truly artists in every sense of the word.
Everytime I hear this song........it brings me back to that epic night.
There is no denying the riff & release at 9:42 is nothing short of a holy experience!
How is it that I totally fanboy out over Tool? … I’M 62!😂😂😂👍🏽🙌🏼
9:53 that nod...
I listen to this masterpiece at an incredible sunset at the beach with a dosis of shrooms and my tears just flowing over my face.. Was an incredible experience.
The awe of sadness
leave out the ‚shrooms and other stuff, enjoy the purity of tool next time 😉
The song is too f'n beautiful for words.
@@antjek4590 dont tell him what to do lol
When there is a gong blast in the song, you know it's epic!
So glad I got to see them again live before COVID set it. So fucking good.
Me too. And I am so thankful.
I listened to this album on a flight and this song came on during the descent....I giggled the whole time
Can’t wait to go watch them in Louisville, Ky March 4th 2022! First ever Tool concert!
Best song of the album in my opinion, I love the melody in this song.
try Reflections. this song is "inspired" by it, and Reflections is my favorite Tool song.
@@BHGMediaGroup thanks man
Whole album is fucking legendary
I'm with you bro,I listen to fear inoculum,90 percent of the time since launch,13 years well worth the wait!!!🎸🎸🤘🤘
goosebumps so large my skin feels like im an alligator, maynard is actually referring to the death of all of you, which at this point is almost imminent.
This song was made while the first manned mission to outer space was reaching the closest planet system to ours some light years away. This band was on board making this specific song while travelling through space and time. An unknown time traveller just brought it to us on a usb stick. Thank you.
The genius of Adam Jones! Put you into a trace. Too live is like a religious experience!
It is so mesmerizing listening to them play this song. True masterpiece
My son and I listen to this every time before football and man does it motivate him to play!
Just think of all the bands out there who decided to start recording albums during covid downtime. We should have some awesome music being released out there after it goes through mastering.
Tremendous Tool´s tune. A spectacular song, which goes through different great segments, with different variants and textures. Prog, heavy and great guitar´s solos.
My girlfriend is always saying I dont have all day for them to get into it. But really that's the genius of this album. It's like sex, you don't rush to climax. They are masters of the build up
This sounds like it just rolled right off the album. Incredible live performance once again!
The thing about Danny is that while others really smash the drums or get very physical when playing complex themes he seems to do it effortlessly. He doesn’t even flinch.
And the guy is 60!!
For me it starts at 4:39 when DC just STOPS for 7-8 secs so he and MJK can wind up for that “grand finale”. That entire last section from 4:39 to 5:43 is so emotional and building. To be there and hear/feel that energy would be almost too much.
Probably THE BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam, of Descending LIVE
WAY TO HANDLE UP!!!
This song gives me chills like very few songs can give. Also is it just me or is Maynard doing his usual thing with being out of the main view, and then he comes out visibly with a guitar after his vocals are done? there's a 3rd guitar player that appears after Maynards vocals and Im like oh shit he's rocking a guitar just to shine light on his guitarist brothers. I could be wrong
Ummmmmmm yeah. I'm sitting in a given state of utter admiration.
For a minute I thought holy shit, this is it, Tool is finally filming and compiling for a commercial dvd release. Then i read the comments after watching. Big effort though mate thanks!
Thanks. I've done my best....
Tool live REMASTERED good job bro, I enjoyed!
Gotta listen to it again. I saw them live in January. I would pay to see them over and over and .................
1/20 at T Mobile Arena? That's the one and only time I've seen them, because one of my best friends moved his family from here in California to Colorado, and he bought us tickets and told me to meet him in Vegas in about a month. He knew I love music and playing guitar and that Tool had slipped through the cracks all these years without me knowing it. He told me what songs to listen to so I would be familiar-ish with enough of the setlist.
Pretty much the coolest birthday present from a buddy ever. Haven't listened to anything other than Tool since then, really. I keep discovering things in songs that blow me away. Just a couple days ago it happened with Rosetta Stoned, which always sounded like a bit of a mess to me and I wouldn't really pay attention to the whole thing. Then I realized what Danny starts doing about 5 minutes into the song and now it's a favorite.
Turns out I was shitting the bed.
AWESOME. I love this performance. And thank you to whoever posted this. I've seen the show three times this year. amd this is EXACTLY how i remembered it.!
Thank you for enjoying it.
@@toolliveremastered3055 THANK YOU, for posting/creating this. How they kept that last 1:00 of the song intact, without even looking at each other, still bewilders me... You do some excellent work here man. Hey if you're interested, look up my name and you'll find my live acoustic versions of The Grudge and Lateralus
It's a prayer.
For me it's slippery slope
God i just wish there was another camera just for dannys drums the entire song
We can all agree that there needs to be a drum cam video for almost all the songs off this album.
Someone pay off Vic Firth so they’ll release the entire concert footage from DC’s Drum Cams. You know they have it after the Pneuma video.
Can we take a time and admit, that DC is A BEAST! B) - his part on the plates IS SOMETHING!
Yes we can and thank u for calling him DC :)
Finde die Antwort interessant kannst dubmir mal bitter mehr drüber erzählen darüber ???
Tool you are the best hard rock band of all time, please please PLEEEEASE, just one more album. Love, your fans :)
I agree with you...
Ancient civilizations would fall to their knees at the shit modern man has achieved...imagine in the days when music was considered a message from God hearing THIS echo through your skull...man...
Love the crowd's silence when they realize this is new
Yet another beautiful masterpiece from TOOL
My original thought was that this is the best song from the new ones, when I had a chance to experience it "live" in June 2019, still before the full album was out. Most people preferred "Invincible" but I loved this one the most. Sadly, it does not sound this awesome on the album any longer :( My personal #1 was taken by 7empest then :)
I saw them live in March of 22 and it was one incredible experience! To my great sorrow, however, they did not play this song. Descending, Lateralus and Ticks and Leeches are my bucket list songs to see live. I SERIOUSLY doubt Maynard will ever attempt Ticks live these days. But I still pray I can see them again and MAYBE I'll get one of my other two...
The album version is good but this gives me goosebumps every time. Adam's guitar especially.
Yes. I understand the feeling. Cheers.
From this last album i think i like all the live ones better tbh. Didnt actually dig the mix and master of the album tbh.
The dude that mixed and mastered that live pneuma recording is a freaeking legend. This one is really good as well.
I listen to this album 90"percent on spotify,that's how fantastic it is!
Danny, Justin, and Adam coming together as usual to create something beautiful, and Maynard nailing it at the beginning to give it meaning.
God damn that’s a masterpiece! It’s a good time to be alive. They are so spectacular live.
Listening to Maynard sing this song is moving to a point of euphoria. I am fairly certain that I am now pregnant.....
I hate to think how many hours of my life I have spent going- Oh look another video of a TOOL song, must watch. saw this live before FI came out and was like a little kid. Once in a lifetime band
I "hate" it too 😉
Seeing Descending on the 1st night of the 2 San Diego shows was the high point of both evenings. Life changing moment.
You don’t listen to Tool You experience them
this is not music guys.... this is fucking art :O
So fricken beautiful. You always see a gong and nobody uses.unbeliveable performance. Can't wait to see them live
Gong's were invented thousands of years ago...just for that moment.
It has to be intentional:
The album version keeps a balanced profile in being subdued and restrained so that they have all the room to blow you away live.
Nicely played!
I think its got something to do with the fact that when Fear Innoculum was released this Song was 10 years old already.
This is a great combo of an epic live song and filming put together. Love it
Thanks...
best tune on album. an amazing work.
good job on the video. thanks!!!
The crowd roar in this is so amazing, it sounds fake!! This is even better than the album version by far!! F#&k This is killer!!
