Apologies in advance for how much talking I do in this video....I’m officially a desperate TOOL fan trying to get an outsider to like their music.....I get it now🤷🏼♂️😂
You could go with full undertow album... Actually, it's literally the most obvious start of the journey. 10000 days is a tough nut to crack, except the pot, and right in two... Those are....non metal - friendly tracks...
So true. We are going to see them in Phoenix the 21st and my wife doesn't care for them. She actually had never heard them. So I started showing her songs and she says they are alright
my intro to TOOL was last summer with Fear Inoculum album. listened to that shit everyday then I started to listen to the rest of theirs discography and I’ve been obsessed since
A cut from Fear Inoculum was on a local station last summer, first I became aware of them. I'm hopelessly addicted now. The rhythms, the intensity, the sheer complexity is endlessly engaging. And lyrically, "Right In Two" can bring me to tears if I just immerse in it.
@@xstevex248 Nah man. APC is Maynard getting to actually make some money after getting screwed by his label for tools first two records. It has it's own feel and vibe.
I got into Tool when I first heard Sober on Headbangers Ball back when MTV actually played music videos. I watched every show until it played again just so I could get the name of the band.
There is no way to get "bored" or "sick" of this band. EVERYTIME you listen to them there is something new to experience. I've been a fan since the band's beginning and even after almost 30 years there's something new to take away. Spiral Out!!
Prog Rock isn't strong enough a category for Tool. I think they belong in a category of they're own that I call "Progressive Mental Metal" Because it gives a person an idea that this is more than a prog rock band.
I’m sure it’s really hard to try to react to music you’ve never heard before. I’ve never tried it. 🤷🏻♂️ I do wish I could hear Tool again to give a reaction. Whew.......
“Weeping shades of cozen indigo, got lemon juice up in your eye” is a great line. -Cozen: trickery; deceit -Indigo: a man made color which doesn’t occur naturally
I was just thinking of what cozened indigo means and 2 minutes later I see your comment. Talk about the universe aligning for something lol. Thanks man!
Awesome that you both appreciate Tool. Good on both of ya. Right In Two is, in my opinion, another nice early introduction to TOOL, from the same album obviously - 10,000 Days. The lyrics are meaningful, plus a truly spectacular display of their instrumental capabilities. Vicarious also. And Jambi.
So, almost every time I've heard this song it's been on regular old headphones, but I recently grabbed myself some new ones with 7.1 surround sound, and dear lord it is such a treat. Those drums are even better! Awesome song choice though, it was the first I heard too and sparked the craze for me lol Still can't wait to see your reaction to Meshuggah's Corridors Of Chameleons though!
If you're going to experience a Tool song for the first time, forget about the lyrics. Put on the headphones and close your eyes. . .let your mind take you on a trip.
I’m 61, and TOOL is a band to totally immerse oneself in. They are amazing. And THE POT is possibly their best banger. Such a human condition band. Top notch musicality.
Tool is an experience. especially with this song in particular, it drives you, makes you anxious, raises your stress, then releases that stress with the choruses, then lets you down slowly with the break, only to bring you back up, raising the stress, the emotion, with one final release, then cruelly, cuts you off before a third release of stress with the ending, leaving you seeking, wanting more. absolutely masterful playing with emotion in this song.
I think I could watch Tool reactions 24 hours a day. It's so fun to see people to react to every single song up here. I still have that feeling every time I listen and still wish I could get that 'first time-Tool virgin' feeling.
Can we get another Between the Buried and Me reaction, the world is truly sleeping on that band! There is a great vid of them playing "Extremeophile Elite" live.
I bought the Colors live DVD for 5 bucks at Walmart because it was on sale and my friend had mentioned them. Can’t count how many times I’ve watched that. Entire album is mastery.
@@skinneymoney man I grew up on that album. It's so good Mike Portnoy recommended them the year colours came out and I bought the cd + live DVD combo. I used to play online shooters on PS3 while blasting it. White Walls is the best tune on that album imo.
Something tells me she would like Spiritbox. Especially a song like Rule of Nines or Blessed Be. (Female fronted metalcore, and she's got a really pretty voice)
I think a Gojira introduction would have been pretty funny to watch too. She might have had some difficulties figuring out the lyrics' meaning and all that.
Great videos man! I always like videos with Amy, she's cute as hell and seems very sweet. You gotta give her a chance to speak though dawg! Haha, it seems difficult for her to get a word in around you in the videos.
It makes me happy to NOT see people hate keeping tool... I’ve been listening for literally a couple decades and I know 95% of their music by heart. But the beauty of Tool is that we can share this amazing art for years and years... Lateralus is another amazing track
She wants to chill....Reflection!!! My god I push this song on everyone LMFAO! Ahh, yeah, it’s that fuckin good, can’t wait to see her drift off on that one.
This is the perfect TOOL introduction song. It perfectly represents their odd rhythms, odd structures, maynards approach to melodies and pure vocal skill and of course Danny’s supreme drumming power.
First time commenter. An even more accessible song from Meshuggah is Spasm. Could be a first-time song for both of you. It has a heavy groove that is somewhat more straightforward than some of their other tracks from the same album.
Ive found that just planting the tool seed is just enough, being to overly passionate while explaining them tends to turn people off.. off subject, your sister is cute.
I feel like Pneuma is pretty advanced to be a good introductory song. Most of Fear Inoculum has tracks where a lot is going on in a very deeply meticulous and drawn out fashion. Pneuma is a masterpiece, but there is so much to take in, and so many trademarks of the band musically that take even the most devoted Tool fan several listens to fully take in. Show her something like Aenema or Sober next. Baby steps.
I understand why she asked, but you should not read Tool songs. They make the music then, when the entire album is done, Keenan puts lyrics in and they record the voice audio to be at same volume as the track on purpose... They want you to discover the lyrics the more you listen at the same track, but the first impression just about sounds
Awesome....I figured she would love it. That groovy rhythm makes it easily transparent to pretty much everyone no matter what type of music you listen to.
There has never been a band as deep as Tool. That's why their fan base is so loyal. All Tool fans listen to other music but it just doesn't compare. Once you know Tool, you know why.
Rush, don’t be silly... pink floyd.. I’ve been listening to tool since I was 12 and I’m 37 now but I wouldn’t ever say what you just typed... tool is amazing and my favourite band but there’s many other amazing and deep discography
Neither of those examples are even close. Maybe you arent sure what being deep means. They may have deep subject matter, but that's it. Tool has layers. The deeper you go the more you find. Pretty sure neither Rush or Pink Floyd could create a song as complex as Lateralus.
@@davidbright9500 you’re an idiot if that’s what you think. Rush had multiple concept albums, deep as fuck lyrics, ohhh and one of Danny carreys idols.. get a clue that tool isn’t the only great progressive rock band in the world.
@@OGT4204 I'm more than capable of having a discussion without name calling. A concept album is only one layer. Many diff bands in many diff genres have done that. That is a certain level of complexity most bands never achieve I'll give you that, but still doesn't compare. You have your opinion I have mine. Go smoke a bowl and chill.
Prog rock apparently means something completely today different from what it used to. When I hear the term, I think Genesis, Yes, King Cirmson, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Gentle Giant, Marillion...
@@raz0rcarich99 Yes, that influence at least is pretty apparent. Just when taking the totality of what today is typically labeled as prog rock, it's an entirely different genre with little in common musically or stylistically with what used to be considered prog rock. It mostly sounds like prog metal to me, in comparison.
Yep, my girlfriend and I, plus a few of our friends saw Tool 29th February 2020. She had a religious experience but I honestly couldn't engage due to covid and my own personal reasons.
Just watched your react to “the pot” with your sister. She’s gorgeous. So if u find yourself in LA, would love to meet up with y’all for a meet & greet. I’m a new tool fan through TH-cam reactions so that’s how I found you.
There's classic, punk, metal, alternative, prog-rock and then there's Tool Rock. They are in their own category. No one is, has or ever will be like them. Ever.
![TOOL - The Pot [ REACTION ] Ima Be Honest , This is.... | First time hearing tool](/img/n.gif)
Apologies in advance for how much talking I do in this video....I’m officially a desperate TOOL fan trying to get an outsider to like their music.....I get it now🤷🏼♂️😂
It's tough bro, a lot of metal listeners go through this at some stage 😁
Welcome to the club. We don't mean to be annoying, we just are.
Story bud.
Its too late .... you are now one of us.. we can see it in your face as you listen... tool fan till the grave.. have a great day.
There’s something about Tool that grabs the attention of true listeners, they are built different.
IMO The Pot is one of the best introductions to TOOL
Yes. Sober off of Undertow, 46&2 off Ænima, Parabola off of Lateralus, The Pot off of 10k days, and FI off of FI
You could go with full undertow album... Actually, it's literally the most obvious start of the journey. 10000 days is a tough nut to crack, except the pot, and right in two... Those are....non metal - friendly tracks...
It's right up there
I think you meant to say, "induction to TOOL."
i think pneuma is also a really good one to start
You’re definitely one of us, Dude.
Trying to explain Tool to someone who doesn’t give a shit is soooo relatable!!!
Too true !!
So true. We are going to see them in Phoenix the 21st and my wife doesn't care for them. She actually had never heard them. So I started showing her songs and she says they are alright
my intro to TOOL was last summer with Fear Inoculum album. listened to that shit everyday then I started to listen to the rest of theirs discography and I’ve been obsessed since
haha good luck with that... im 15 years in and still listening everyday.... im not joking
A cut from Fear Inoculum was on a local station last summer, first I became aware of them. I'm hopelessly addicted now. The rhythms, the intensity, the sheer complexity is endlessly engaging.
And lyrically, "Right In Two" can bring me to tears if I just immerse in it.
have you tried A perfect circle or puscifer too?, If not then I hope you enjoy them both.
Welcome to the rabbit hole mate
So glad to see that the new album expanded their fanbase!
Amy has A Perfect Circle fan vibes
I can see that too. Also APC freaking Rocks!
Apc is diet TOOL.
@@xstevex248 Nah man. APC is Maynard getting to actually make some money after getting screwed by his label for tools first two records. It has it's own feel and vibe.
@@xstevex248 hell no tool is dope but apc is fucking amazing
@@xstevex248 i prefer Tool Lite
My introduction to Tool was the kids version of 46 and 2. I’m now age 62 and neck deep into all things Tool. It’s never too late to learn!
I'm 41 and started in 93. They have been my favorite band since the first time hearing them
Made me want to listen to 46 and 2 again lol.
I got into Tool when I first heard Sober on Headbangers Ball back when MTV actually played music videos. I watched every show until it played again just so I could get the name of the band.
That was a dope cover!!
I started when a friend had us listening to aenma and i thought it was ok but then i heard 46&2 and vicarious and i was hooked
Sittin there mouthing the words to the song, just like every other Tool fan.
Drew is now a tool emissary in the Tool Army now. :)
Tool is an acquired taste. But man once you get it. Game changer.
Amen.
I didn't care for them at first then I listened to 10000 days cover to cover while tripping balls and nowadays they're my favourite band🤷♂️
👍👍👍👍👍 game over
@@stugeh how would you listen to tool lol
tool have one of the best bass lines ever
Too much Tool?
....…......I don’t even know what that means.
It can't be too much of Tool, only less of Tool
Agreed
No such thing as too much Tool!
There is no way to get "bored" or "sick" of this band. EVERYTIME you listen to them there is something new to experience. I've been a fan since the band's beginning and even after almost 30 years there's something new to take away. Spiral Out!!
been hooked ever since undertow came out. still pop that vinyl on from time to time.
Prog Rock isn't strong enough a category for Tool.
I think they belong in a category of they're own that I call
"Progressive Mental Metal"
Because it gives a person an idea that this is more than a prog rock band.
She’s into it. Just a little camera shy it seems. We’re all feeling it. No judgment. Relax lady and feel the music. ❤️❤️
I’m sure it’s really hard to try to react to music you’ve never heard before. I’ve never tried it. 🤷🏻♂️ I do wish I could hear Tool again to give a reaction. Whew.......
“Weeping shades of cozen indigo, got lemon juice up in your eye” is a great line.
-Cozen: trickery; deceit
-Indigo: a man made color which doesn’t occur naturally
I was just thinking of what cozened indigo means and 2 minutes later I see your comment. Talk about the universe aligning for something lol. Thanks man!
@@dhavalsolani1111 I never gave it much thought until i looked up what cozen meant one day. Went from a throwaway line to a favorite.
5:39 The first time I've seen someone lip-sync a drum roll. LOL. Nice reaction video!
My intro to tool was schism and sober
Awesome that you both appreciate Tool. Good on both of ya.
Right In Two is, in my opinion, another nice early introduction to TOOL, from the same album obviously - 10,000 Days. The lyrics are meaningful, plus a truly spectacular display of their instrumental capabilities. Vicarious also. And Jambi.

You two are a great vibe! You should let Amy (apologies if I’ve mis-spelt) introduce you to some of her favourite artists and do those
Don't apologize, you have no way of knowing.
You can tell she's thinking "this is pretty good..should I like this? It's a little weird...hey it is pretty good though"
Tool has chill music. I wouldn't have considered The Pot all that chill, though.
Your sister is a Bleeding Through fan, she just don't know it yet!
You don't headbang to Tool... you sway to it :D
Both at the same time sway to one rythum while headbanging to another while keeping time with ya foot lolz
Iv been here through you Entire Tool Journey so I'm proud how far ya came Drew!!!
That breakdown gets dirtier every fuckin time mate 💥❤️
My introduction to Tool was Sober. I just loved the bass groove and just Maynard’s vocals through the track and now I’m a Tool fan
Theon Greyjoy and Arya Stark reacts to The Pot.
Arya Stark? Don't be mean.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 not mean, Arya was cute
I fell in love when i heard the song "Lateralus" for the FIRST TIME. After that, BIG FAN NOW.
This is the best Maynard performance of any TOOL song IMO. This and 10,000 Days is stunning

Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest
Power Trip - Crucifixation
Yay! I still go back and watch some old tool reactions from you because they were so fun and genuine. Have fun, Amy!
Great thing Drew...hope she enjoys Tool like we all do!!!
The Ocean- Devonian:Nascent
The Ocean- Triassic
The Ocean- Jurassic|Cretaceous
🤘🏻
yes the ocean collective. i recommend Ptolemy Was Wrong
Rivers Of Nihil - The Silent Life
This is off the album “Where Owls Know My Name”. Masterpiece album from start to finish. Please react to it!!!
Such a good song
Everyone is all Tool this and Tool that and they're so awesome... which is true... but damn dude, your sister is fucking gorgeous!
These folks, that went built this masterpiece of a song..
These boys thu real deal💯🥵
Something tells me she would like Spiritbox. Especially a song like Rule of Nines or Blessed Be. (Female fronted metalcore, and she's got a really pretty voice)
More like Suckitbox!

Great reaction....but sis is so damn pretty.
I can think of another prime driving song with Maynard, Passenger - Deftones
Jambi off this record is absolutely stellar too
Good to see you listening to Tool again. Good luck introducing your sister to the band.
It makes me happy to NOT see people hate keeping tool... I’ve been listening for literally a couple decades and I know 95% of their music by heart. But the beauty of Tool is that we can share this amazing art for years and years... Lateralus is another amazing track
Next stop, "Schism".
46 and 2
@@drycell183 Schism is the second best entry level Tool track imho
My favorite
My introduction to Tool was working in HMV in 2006, when one of my co-workers played this album. I was like my life is over 9000!
Commenting for the algorithm 😏
Tool can never get enough attention IMO Anemia would be a good one for her next one! Awesome reaction love the Irish accent
Ænima
Just reminding u that you're 102k subs strong Drew.
Awesome!
I love watching him jam the fuck out to it in the back after watching him react before
She wants to chill....Reflection!!!
My god I push this song on everyone LMFAO! Ahh, yeah, it’s that fuckin good, can’t wait to see her drift off on that one.
My first introduction to tool was sober ......
Sit down one day with some headphones and listen to Tool's album Lateralus one day. It's life changing. Eye opening.
Absolutely, it’s a beautiful experience.
Definitely one of my favourite Tool songs.
great song. also, that hair color is the f***ing bomb. love you guys, keep it up!

yo tool fan to the fullest.. straight from cali.. CA. and one more thing your sister is a cutie
perfect song to start with
Play Pneuma for her next from Tool! It will seriously take her on a journey.
I feel like Pneuma is pretty advanced to be a good introductory song. Most of Fear Inoculum has tracks where a lot is going on in a very deeply meticulous and drawn out fashion.
Pneuma is a masterpiece, but there is so much to take in, and so many trademarks of the band musically that take even the most devoted Tool fan several listens to fully take in.
Show her something like Aenema or Sober next. Baby steps.
Joe Blythe Agreed, that album is basically one for the diehards. The Pot is a decent choice for a starter as it's one of their more simple songs.
Should have her to vicarious, very good for a beginner
Wow your sister is Absolutely Stunning 😍

He's not been a metalhead for too long, he will experience Slipknot creeping back into his life, for sure xD
I don't know why I say this, but if you were looking for a new band to experience together, the first one that comes to mind is Nothing More.

High five for spreading the word about Tool
i was at the last show Tool played last March 9th in Spokane. I had a feeling at the time it may be the last one for a while. It was proper EPIC!
The next tool's song should be vicarious 😏😂
Tool is Zen my friends 🧘🏻♂️ 👁 🎶 ✌🏼
They are all great at what they do but danny really shreds on the drums he badass. One of the best
Sober was my introduction in 1993.
I hadn't realise the horror aspect of their video back then, but it resonated with me intensely.
Good place to start!
The Pot is the perfect first song.
Amon Amarth - War of the Gods
Amon Amarth - Free Will Sacrifice
Amon Amarth - Valhall Awaits Me
Loved the reaction! 🔥
Just watched your react to “the pot” with your sister. She’s gorgeous. So if u find yourself in LA, would love to meet up with y’all for a meet & greet. I’m a new tool fan through TH-cam reactions so that’s how I found you.
