Pressure by Muse. 🔥
Pushit from Tool. My favorite from them.
The live drum cam of Pneuma! Just so you can see the skill on display by Danny Carey!
Love the videos man, just one request before you do any more. PLEASE go back to their first album and react to every song in chronological order. it'll be a worthwhile experience, us TOOL fans assure you!
At some point you have to see them do this live from the point of Danny carey's drum cam you'll gain an even deeper appreciation for what you're actually hearing. Keep up the good work brother! Hope the little ones are feeling better.
Agree, it‘s mesmerizing
Not at some point... do it now
You beat me to the comment. That video is absolutely insane!
Agree, it’s a must ✌️❤️
Yes! Yes! Yes! Upvotes :) you will LOVE watching the human octopus aka Polyrhythmic Magician aka Masterclass in drumming. I’ve watched it more times than I can count. Will watch it that many more.
You HAVE to watch the drum cam of this, one of the most technically proficient performances of all time. Danny Carey, with the passing of Neal Peart, holds the crown of greatest living drummer
You’re forgetting Mike Portnoy
@@jacobdionne4334 And Tomas Haake
@@mooncalf_4534 And Vladislav Ulasevich
Don't miss Gavin Harrison
I hope Metal Mondays continues but with Tool Tuesday as its own separate thing so we get a double dose of awesomeness for a while
Please do this it would be so awesome to have more TOOL reactions from you! I love how you digest the music and the lyrics, I get to "Vicariously" relive the thrill of discovering them again for the first time!
Yessss!!
Yesss tool Tuesday sounds awesome!
I second this recommendation!
Yes!! 🖤
Danny is arguably the best there ever was. There is a drum cam video of this song… you can watch Danny’s performance in real time. It’s amazing.
Watching Knox react to Tool might be my new favorite thing to watch on reaction channels. Guaranteed to get the respect the art deserves.
It’s refreshing having some tool reactions that also deep dive into the lyrics as well.
Hoping Tool Tuesday becomes a regular thing! 🤞
This song is enhanced greatly when you watch the drum cam and you can really appriciate Danny´s magic! But a great reaction as always Knox!
This is one of my favorite tracks from this band ever. Dude the Drum cam video of this track is so sick if you are a drum fan.
I am so impressed by your musical analysis. I've watched a lot of your content as a silent viewer like I usually do but your metal reactions have really won me over. You give great respect to the pieces of music that you listen to. You're tuned for hearing layers that are difficult to distinguish and in addition you have a lot of lyrical and speech literacy. Really great content man. Very attentive and impressive.
Great reaction as always Knox, you also need to check out Vicarious, Lateralus, Invincible, and the grudge by Tool. Each song has deep lyrical meaning and awesome musicality.
PLEASE - if you don’t know what it is look up the Fibonacci Sequence before you watch Lateralus. Mind blown when you make the connection. Come on and need out with us! 😊
Spiral out
@@maryrollins607 Ah yeah, I LOVE the capuchino sequence
Pneuma (in Stoic thought) the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person. I just love Tool and I am enjoying your Tool journey. Do more Tool, I think you will enjoy it.
You have just heard what mastering every level of musicianship sounds like.
"I'm having an existential crisis on this track"
The birth cry of a tool fan.
It's great to see you react to studio. Seen Danny's cam so many times I can visualize him playing while you experience...Frickin cool af!!
Watch Danny's drum cam!!
Danny Carey is definitely one of my favorite drummers. The live video they have of this song where it's just pointed at him is a great watch as well. Really shows off his skills.
I really appreciate your dissection of the lyrics in all the videos I’ve seen from you (mostly metal reactions), you have a wide range of depth from spiritual to philosophical to historical etc and I wanna say thanks for having a wise mind and sharing your thoughts man. Keep it up!
Drum Cam!!!!!!!!!!Gotta see Danny's work up close. It will literally blow your mind.
Great videos, keep them coming.
Ps Maynard writes lyrics after the music is mostly complete.
Man, there are SO MANY Tool songs I'd love to sit and listen to you break down - they're always one hell of an experience. I had the pleasure of finally seeing them live a few months ago in DC and it was damn near a spiritual experience. Cant' wait for more man, keep it up!
Pneuma is basically "air in motion" or a breath. And as many people have said before me, check out the Danny Carey drum cam version of this song. I promise you will not be let down.
Can Tool Tuesdays just be a thing now?
Hey Knox, 50yo man here, original 92 OG Tool fan here, and I love all types of music. I've watched several of your reaction vids, most of the Eminem ones, and I like your very technical breakdowns of rhyme schemes, rhythm, and lyrical analysis. This vid earned you a sub and bell notification from me, and like the others let me suggest that you revisit Pneuma by Tool the live version from Danny Carey's perspective (he's the Drummer). It will absolutely knock your socks off, even if you aren't a drummer because you'll realize just how technical he is, how precise in his rhythms, and be stunned at the set up.
If you like Tool, you should absolutely also check out 46+2, which is one of my favorites, and Lateralus. If you like off beat time signatures and lyrical shenanigans, Lateralus utilizes the Fibonacci sequence, and there are a few different videos that discuss this. If you're unfamiliar with the Fibonacci sequence, look it up. It is musical genius. No other band is quite like Tool.
It's fun watching a new Tool fan burgeoning into existence.
Also, burgeoning is a great word that you should use in your own lyrics someday.
I mean if you do listen to Tool maybe start from their first EP Opiate from 91/92. Or you can start with their first full Album Undertow from 1993. It’s great to see their evolution and growth as a band. They go from raw angry to introspective as they aged.
I fully agree! Just posted the same thing myself! I hope more people suggest it so that it happens. it's by far the best way to listen to them for the first time imo.
Here is a serious question for you. Do you think TOOL is going to affect the music that you will make in the future? I, for one, would like to hear what TOOL inspired rap might sound like. Post it. I will listen.
What do you say guys. Like this comment if you want to hear TOOL inspired rap by a guy who has clearly been moved by this music.
Your reactions are damn good. You are well spoken and deep. Salute
This band is arguably composed of four genius-level musicians: Danny "The Octopus" Carey on impossible polyrhythm drums, Maynard "MJK" James Keenan on mind-bending vocals/lyrics, Adam Jones on spirit-flowing/driving guitar as well as much of their visual production, and Justin Chancelor on Fucking Great Bass That Seals The Deal.
Tool turns everyone into a philosopher lol, prepare for more deep thoughts! And nobody has just one favorite Tool song, so no pressure to pick :)
That said, you MUST WATCH the live drum cam for Pnuema - it's from 2019, the drummer (Danny Carey) was 58 years old in the video. Full beast mode.
Other Tool suggestions:
Descending
Forty Six & 2
Vicarious
Lateralus (based on fibonacci sequence)
Jimmy
H.
The Grudge
H.W.A.P.
These songs are pairs made to be listened to in succession:
Intension/ Right In Two
Parabol/ Parabola
Last Keys/ Rosetta Stoned
Think that should keep you busy for a while lol
Spiral Out!!
Echoing nearly every other comment here, PLEASE do a video on the drum cam view of this song! I figure your motus operandi is mostly lyrical analysis, but that video is just something that you CAN NOT miss.
When he says "we are all one spark, the sun becoming" I take it to mean each of our spirits are a single spark that pool together after death into one large combined spirit of all that we are together
pneuma = PHILOSOPHY
(in Stoic thought) the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person.
The Meaning To Me Is .. Always Reach out into the creative spirit of your consciousness... because it is very true... we can either create.. or destroy... through our own impact on this world.. so become pneuma.. creating the beautiful spirit of mankind that we can live through to better evolve our perspectives and unity as a being and as a collective. #LoveOverEverything
P.S. One Of My Personal Favorite Tool Songs.. Knox You A Goat For This!
I think you can tell from the way you nod along to the beat that you know music. The rhythm and the changes are not easy, but you rarely seem to be out of step. Respect
Nothing compares to seeing Tool live. The entire Fear Inoculum album is a masterpiece of musical layers. The guitar solo near the last 2 minutes of this song gave me goosebumps live. You can feel drums hit your chest.
Go see Tool live. You're mind will be blown, it's a religious experience
Please keep listening, life changing journey, you are open to the meaning of the lyrics, most people don't understand that tool are gods amongst insects.
YOU HAVE TO DO THE DRUM CAMERA FOR THIS SONG ON DANNY CAREY!! ITS 🔥🔥🔥
Man I'm so excited to watch someone has insightful has Knox dwell deep into Tool
The title of the song, pneuma (think pneumatic etc.) is from Ancient Greek πνεῦμα (pneûma), meaning breath, hence spirit, soul. To the gnostics, the pneûma was one of the three constituents of humans (the others being body and soul). Greek pneûma was Latin spīritus. This was quite the philosophical discussion in ancient times: Are we breathed into life? Or do we gain breath as the soul enters our body? Does life end as your last breath leaves your body. Does the last breath leave because your soul has left, or is the soul leaving with the last breath? After it? Does it linger?
The airiness of his delivery matches the idea of spirit. And the delivery of the lyrics allow them to change meaning as the song progresses. ‘We are’ is a statement of itself; ‘We are spirit’ (re)defines us; ‘We are spirit bound to’ - ‘to what?’, we may want to ask, and is this to be followed by a noun or a verb we wonder; then resolution as we get to know that we are spirit bound to flesh.
Some of the sickest drum fills ever.
I agree you should watch the drum cam version. But you also need to check out Lateralus. Would live to hear you break that masterpiece down!
please, PLEASE, please do a reaction of the live Drum Cam version of this song.
Recognising our spirit and connection to one another should be a goal while we live - is the message I take… If we can only ascend the mundane. Spirit didn’t need to be related to when we die.
I would give everything i have just to hear your thoughts about wings for mary 1-2 (or 10.000 days) altought it is imperative to read the context of the song before, im always mesmerized for your points of view of some parts of the lyrics of the songs you are reacting, you have the gift to find the words that i just can't to, i know that im asking something difficult, speacially whitout being a patreon just a suscriber but never lost the faith, im a big fan of your work, greetings from Argentina.
I can't wait until you get to Aenima. As a lyrics person you are going to love it.
one great thing about tool is they dont allow phones or cameras in thier gigs cause they want you to give them all your attention
Other than "the world isn't flat" comment this is an outstanding breakdown of Tool, human existence/growth, time sigs, life, mind/body/spirit etc. Wowza. ❤
Welcome to tool knocks. Keep them comeing
Tool and Knox great combination.
Pneuma means connected to breath or blow; air in motion or breath as something necessary to life
It’s an electric drum head with three different areas that make different sounds
I don't think anyone's suggested it (looks at the other comments) but maybe check out the live drum cam version of this. Danny Carey kills it live.
Pneuma is a Greek word (πνεύμα) that means the spirit of a person and can also be translated to describe a ghost
Watch the Video of the Drum Cam featruing Danny Carey. It will blow your mind regarding the instrumentation.
Also, 16:25, Those are not hand percutions, that is Dany Carey doing his thing. You gotta watch his Drum Cam Video for this song.
Then Again, Once you understand that is not the vocals, but the drums that are the core and heart of the greatest TOOL's songs, you'll understand A LOT.
I always thought of the phrase sun becoming as the sun over billions of years becoming all the planets and then life on earth and us humans. We are literally sun becoming.
You have to watch live drum cam of Pneuma
Fuckin A !! You said it perfectly...welcome to Tool.... enjoy!!
Hopefully, you get to Sober and/or Vicarious by Tool
As others keep saying, the Danny Carey drum cam is well worthwhile but it's good to hear the song fist before focusing on him.
Pnuema is the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person.
Coined from the Stoicism line of greek philosophy.
Never have to apologize for taking care of your family sir.
Oooooh here we go!! Next Tool song you should check out is “descending” you wanna get into a mindful state of mind, that one will do it.
The entire percussion segment is done my one person in real time as you hear it.
You got to watch the Drumcam version with Danny Carey..It will open your eyes to this track!
@knoxhill Talking about singing and writing. The band makes the music and then sends him copies he writes to it. They change it(not always I'm sure) and he starts over. Not usually how bands make music I don't believe.
46&2 TOOL.
Pneuma is define as ..... (in Stoic thought) the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person.
Every instrument has its time in the spotlight including the vox hence why they come & go…
Seriously though, watch Ric Firths Drum Cam of Danny Carey’s drum work on this track live in concert. You’ll have an even bigger appreciation of his meticulous, intrinsic ability..
Do the live drum cam version!
Pneuma is ( Ancient Greek ) for Spirit, Soul, or Breath and also my Dog's name, Lol
EDIT: 46&2, Third Eye, Descending, Aenima, Sober, Lateralus , Parabol/Parabola...Some suggestions for the next cpl of Tuesdays , well if your planning on keeping Tool on that day. Even if not , Tool is good any day of the week
You have to follow this up with Fear Inoculum by them.
You need to see Danny Carey's Drum POV. Absolutely insane.
Danny Fucking Carey! Thats how!
Watch it live! That is a drum, good sir!
pneuma is Aramaic for breath of life.
Great interpretations
Do bleed by meshuggah. This drummer was named number one drummer in the world
Should have done the live version.
Good job realizing that the hook is the music and not words. All I can say about Tool is that you shouldn't expect normal rules of music to apply. They like to experiment sonicly. But it all still sounds like Tool.
Pantera- This Love, Cemetery Gates, Hollow, anything from Cowboys from Hell!
danny carey is a god and you should definitely watch the drumming live of this song
I'm telling you'll welcome the toolarmy......
please react to the girl group XG ~ they just released a xypher with their rap line and it's so sick!!! would love to see your take on their rapping skills
You need to check out the Danny Carey drum cam footage to this song....😮
For you next NEW SEGMENT, of your Tool Tuesdays ( 😉 ) do the live version, so you can see the amazing skills of Danny! Pneuma Live Danny Carry drum cam!!!!
wish you would reacted to danny carry drum cam for this
The hubris you must have to think whatever YOU have to say is worth pausing & chopping up this piece of ART, to talk over it... My God.
If you want to see true polyrhythmic magic check out the Danny Carey live drum performance of this song. I actually liked the Fear Inoculum song as well. Another voyage of crazy music magic
I'm chiming in on the drum cam train! IMHO, it sounds better than the studio. There are a few fills they do live that really should have been on the studio version. Like, because they're not, I think the studio version is boring...I can't believe I just thought that...
evening Knox,
I highly recommend anything from queen, led zeppelin royal Albert hall set or their Denmark radio set, the musical talent on show will nock your socks off
have a wonderful week, hope the kids get well soon
I just watched The Pot reaction. This is a perfect song and band for him to react to
Knox! You need to check out Danny Carey's drum cam during a live performance of Pneuma. His skill is unmatched and unparalleled!
I was just going to comment this. He is amazing.
I second this
Danny Carey is absolutely one of the best there is. But even he was impressed by Thomas Haake’s skills.
Thomas Hakke, Neil Peart, and so many more. It's an impressive thing to watch all of the greats.
Yaas!
Every percussion, every drum beat, every congos, bongos whatever you wanna call it is done by one man. No backing track, no layering. Just one man doing it all simultaneously throughout the song. Danny Carey, the octopus!
They're differently pitched tablas on a single electronic pad.
To me the fact he doesnt use a click track to keep tempo is flooring
Now just imagine he had 4 arms and legs
A God of drums
@@seansterling5322pay very very close attention to Chancellor's bass. Danny uses the Bass to keep everything grounded and flowing.
Omg can we PLEASE make Tool Tuesdays a thing? Don’t play with our emotions, Knox!
I second this motion! Add to the queue Parabol/Parabola which may just be the greatest song lead in to another song of all time
You don't really understand the technicality of what Danny is doing on the drums until you watch the live video of this. I had the absolute pleasure of seeing these guys live earlier in the year and when this song came on I was absolutely mesmerised. A Tool live gig is like a transcendental experience, and this song was the peak of it for me.
Yes, please and thank you.
I went to see them in February and dear god I was in a trance watching Danny the entire time.
93 Lollapalooza. Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Primus. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
I was actually at the live show in Boston that the drum cam was filmed. They were fantastic.
yeah, he's just dumb
Yes Knox thank you! I can promise you’re going to genuinely appreciate this band 🙌🏻
Also Danny Carey (drummer) is playing that beginning part by hand in real time on electronic drum pads. He’s a master of polyrhythms and unusual techniques.
Danny has been a master since before they started, he is a beast and was a jazz drummer for 5 or 10 years before switching over to metal with Tool. He uses the high hat and snare more then most drummers which is a staple of Jazz drumming.
You need to check out the live version which features Danny Carey, the drummer, it’s insane what he does
Tool and Pink Floyd are my 2 fav bands. They are just different. Just pure genius. Eulogy next!
Then you would (and probably do) love Porcupine Tree
My two favorite bands too!!!
Same here dude!
@@Vampagan I’ll check them out 🤘🏼
We would probably get along. Those are my top two bands of all time
I'll have to say this. Ur musical background really helps u with this song. U are able to pick up all the different polyrhythms in the song. Wait til u watch the live version with the Danny Carey cam. Ur mind will be blown. Even if u don't to a react to it just wait to witness the awe of the octopus man, Danny carey.
Watch the live drum cam version of this song and you’ll see the legend at work. All percussion is done with sticks…no bongos
I hope you'll react to Lateralus at some point. The pauses between syllables in that song, as well as many other metrics of the song (duration, time signatures...) are fitting with the fibonacci sequence.
Sober or Schism have great lyrics to analyze too. 👍🏻
It's only the lyrics that follow the Fibonacci sequence. The time signatures are predominantly 7/8, 8/8, and 9/8 and the original title of the song was 7-8-9 because of that.
Nothing better than being a life long fan of Tool and seeing someone fall into the world of these four amazing musicians.....
5 Musicians!
Don't forget the sound guy that does all the mixing.
It’s like reliving the thrill of hearing it fur the first time. Bliss! ❤
One of my favorites for sheer meaning has to be "Right in Two." A great tune, with a great message. Like all Tool songs, actually.
Silly monkey 🐒
YES! I suggested Right In Two on his Lateralus video
Maynard gets the music from the other band members and listens to it relentlessly to determine the cadence of the syllables that will fit best rhythmically and melodically, then writes words to be those syllables. That is why his cadence, spacing, and delivery is so unique.
Yup, I think he said like 50 times
A few things:
1. Amazing reaction. Not many can catch such deep meanings and concepts first pass. Impressive.
2. Need to do Pnuema again with Danny drum cam as many have mentioned. Just do it.
3. TOOL Tuesday’s must be a thing.
Well done.
