And I'm also aware that they did not invent the long progressive track. But they are my favorite to do it. Discovered Tool in the 90s with Undertow and have been one of my favorite not to say my favorite band since. Thanks for the list, I will check it out cause I don't know all the tracks you listed. Never was a fan of Yes but still I will check it out, their must be some tracks I never really listened to.
@@robertpeters6108 You're absolutely right. TOOL is a great band and I think that they are still keeping the prog genre alive along with others of their compositions.

Exactly! Tool are in a league all their own, the way the whole picture is created makes perfection. Just a plethora of talent poured into all the right spots. Maynard knows when to shut up and the band knows when to play their parts. It socks we always have to wait so long but it's well worth it when we hear new music. And then when you see their writing process it makes sense. They're so smart in not constantly sitting in a room together to pump out music bc it all loses its meaning when it's forced. There's so much thought put into the music and it shows so much. I'm so thankful to have found tool when I was young and I've been able to go on this ride with them. They played pushit the last time I seen them live and I took a few hots of acid and as soon as they started playing it it felt like they did it for me lol. And I literally shed a few tears of joy. They have impacted my life so much with their powerful music. Glow child glow!
TOOL arrived in my life in a very unusual way. I was walking down Dale Mabry in Tampa Florida when a CD nearly hit me. Pitched from a passing car and landing only feet away from me. I was a young musician and very open minded to obscure and new music. I saw the CD "Undertow" on the ground and picked it up, took it home and popped it in. I was immediately hooked. Not knowing what the band members looked like, I painted my own vision from the voice and the intense guitars and bass. Once I eventually experienced the video for "Sober" it solidified my admiration. I was an art student at the time and the dark imagery, philosophy and pressing against established religion really struck a chord. It was years before I finally managed to see them LIVE in Fort Myers Florida. They absolutely blew me away. As a Prog Rock bass player, TOOL has been an enormous influence on my music and style. I am a fan for life. The way I discovered them has always seemed like an odd fate moment. They fell from the sky as if I was meant to be a fan.
Sounds like you picked up some garbage and it was allowed to influence you indefinitely. What a shame, to be schooled by literal garbage :( one man's trash as they say
I always thought of them like this: they are traveling the universe and come back every now and then with an album, to show us the wonders they have witnessed.
I think of this musical collective as a higher calling. Each member of TOOL would have always gravitated to where they needed to be in order for Tool to happen. Regardless of their individual journeys... Tool would have ALWAYS effectuated. THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR WANTED IT SO.
Tool is the only band that changed my life. I saw them for the first time in 1996 in a small club called The Garage in Cincinnati. My mind was blown that day and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. This was a well done documentary. Appreciate the work.
@@te9591 he was painted blue and wore nothing but a pair of thermal underwear pants. Adam and Justin also wore a little bit of blue paint-like polka dots painted on their torsos.
Met Maynard at a music festival where our band also performed that same night in Tuba City Az. The next day, there was a womens ceremony happening. A ceremony that we call a Hopi Basket Dance. Towards the evening, my ex girlfriend and I were walking home from the Basket Dance and a couple guys had picked us up and gave us a short ride from the dance. When they dropped us off, I noticed that it was Maynard and another lead singer who had also performed at the same music festival with his band called RED THUNDER. I had asked Maynard for an autograph but he didn't have anything to write with but gave me a can of Mountain Dew instead. 😂 hahaha. They were both at the Basket Dance too. Love 🤘TOOL🤘
I’ve known for a long time that Maynard is an open minded and thoughtful artist who truly appreciates the personal expression of others and gives people a chance. Your story just confirmed that for me. Thanks for telling us about your experience meeting him! Do you still have that Mountsin Dew? LOL
@russell_szabados Aye brother, upon reaching home, my younger brother had just come to visit that same evening, I didn't have the chance to tell him about the Mountain Dew until I came back from the restroom, he had already opened it and drinking it as a chaser, he was drinking hard liquor and was pretty buzzed so I just told him that he was drinking famously hahaha 😆 DAMMAAAAAAT I was a little upset but it's okay 👍 at least I still have the wonderful memories. P.S. My brother that drank the Mt Dew passed away recently from alcoholism. R.I.P. My Sobriety date is 1/26/2012
Imagine no one showing up to play drums in your band and Danny f*king Carey just happens to be your neighbor and casually volunteer to help you out. It's like needing a house paint in Italy in the 16th century and your next door neighbor be like "hey, my name is Michaelangelo, I think I can give you a hand with that".
I was in a Dark place when listing to Tool around 1993-4 refilled my heart with energy. Was dying of a 100% fatal disease. Survived it. Not only the disease, but the mental game too. Tool has remained the source of life giving vibrations to this day.
First of several times I saw Tool was in New Orleans LA at Lollapalooza 1993 with my best friend at 14yrs old. Our mom's dropped us off that Saturday morning and said, Have Fun! Rage opened then Tool came on. It was AWESOME! Danny Carey played drums facing away from the crowd so we could see everything he was doing. We were maybe 20ft from the stage. Tool was new to the scene so there wasn't that many people there yet. Maybe 1000 or so I'd think. Most came later to see headliners Alice in Chains and Primus. I grew up playing piano, violin, acoustic guitar, then electric guitar. I had a huge appreciation for what Tool brought to the rock/metal genre as a young guy. I learned many of their songs and still play them 30+ years later.
You honestly make the best music documentaries I have ever seen. Let alone on TH-cam. They're so high quality. Well made, well written, edited, voiced, everything. And I'm so happy you're finally making one on my favorite band.
What an incredibly nice thing to say, thank you! TOOL was SUPER FUN to make, really interesting band! I'm probably going to do more TOOL videos as there's so much to talk about.
@@RAWMUSICTV Great video! Though, at 13:00 -- Tool makes reference to L. Ron Hubbard in the song Ænema, not Rosetta Stoned. "Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones, fuck all these gun-toting, hip, gangster-wannabe's."
i had heard a few Tool songs but could not get into it. years after i first heard them i took some mushrooms with my friend and went to a local show. started feeling weird being around so many people. but i had the most specific idea to just go home and listen to Tool because i needed to know what this shit was about. i left immediately after this thought, got home and started tripping hard, put on Ænema and listened start to finish. then Lateralus. then 10,000 days. and then listened to them again. absolutely phenomenal experience, and it melded perfectly with the feeling of the trip and instantly became the highlight. i heard him scream the phrase 'learn to swim' over and over and just started crying because of the profoundness it had at the time. it's the best feeling when you discover any kick ass music for the first time. i can't think of a better way to discover a band like Tool though.
I definitely remember what I was doing when I first heard Sober on DC101, driving home from HS, I was dumbfounded on how unique, complicated and refreshing the song sounded, love the unique drumming sound Danny brings to the table, like nothing I ever heard before. They really shook the music industry in an era where musicians seemed to be selling out to play what ever was a popular style.
Ahh, good ol' DC101. I grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland (in Greenbelt where a NASA is located) right outside of DC. They and WHFS (99.1?) were intregreral for helping me shape my love for Rock music at such a young age. Good stuff!
I saw the video a few times on MTV. I was hooked, bought the album. Then I got my homies hooked. Then I remember going to Sam Goodie, the dude behind the counter said Aenima was pretty different from Undertow, but that it was still very good. The very first time I heard H., I was utterly dumbstruck. Aenima is probably my favorite rock album of all time. Every single song is just mindblowing.
I actually do remember where I was the first time I heard them. It was when some radio stations were playing Sober without listening to the lyrics or maybe some didn't give a damn. I got the cd (with the artwork intact) and played the whole damn thing. What a band. So original, complex, artistic and at the time, pretty well underrated.
The first time I heard Tool I was riding around with my older brother and his buddy smoking weed. His buddy popped Anema into the CD player and that was it.. I was like damn, who tf is this! I think I was 14 at the time. I got an offer for a free ticket to Ozzfest later that year and low and behold, I got to witness the best damn concert ever on their Anema tour! What an unforgettable show, it was freakin’ awesome!
Im glad this documentary mentioned MJK liking Swans. That's another band Tool fans should look into. Especially The Seer, To Be Kind, and The Glowing Man. Older albums that are good are Soundtracks for the Blind, The Great Annihilator, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity, and Children of God are some of the best. Their earlier albums were so punishing, not everyone will enjoy. The later albums I mentioned are a meditative, ethereal, spiritual experience also using hard rock as a vehicle for very cinematic and essential listening. They are also incredible live.
Absofuckinglutly... never made a connection between them but the singularity of what they're out to do and what they wind up doing is just like years Beyond others
@@RAWMUSICTV I've been lucky enough to have seen them on tour supporting all of their albums from Aenima to Fear Inoculum. I've seen them 9 times total and they never disappoint. They always sound fantastic (asside from unavoidable venue issues, some rooms just have terrible acoustics) and they always have incredible visual art. Anyone who likes their music should definitely see them at least one time.
I became a big Tool fan when the song H came out. I thought, there's something special about this band. In 2010, my two daughters and I, went to see Tool in Sacramento. Tailgating outside Arco Arena that night, I can see where people would consider their fans as a cult. It was awesome!
On my 21st birthday me and my best friend did a bunch of acid and listened to all the tool albums all day and drew in our black books and hung out with a ferret named Frakus. The good ol days.
the first time i listened to full Tool albums was also on psychedelics and it blew my mind. the music merging with psychedelic auditory hallucinations was like nothing i'd heard before. and the words all feeling profound as fuck. tripping with a ferret is badass
I'm so thankful my husband introduced me to Tool. I didn't get it at first. I liked them but it took me a long time , and lots of listening, for it to click with me. Now, I can barely listen to other music. There is no band that can top them.
Well done! Been a huge fan of Tool since I was a junior in high school in 92! Went on to play drums in a band for 20 years. Well known as Tool fans, we performed a Tool tribute concert for the radio station Q106 in Lansing Michigan's Temple Club. 🤘
By spoofing the media Tool has maintained their music in a pure fashion by never adding unnecessary blather to distract from it. They have a rare integrity as artists that I deeply respect. When they could have made more money they resisted every time to stay pure to their vision. Well done Tool.
I would definitely consider the filler tracks like cesaro summability or mantra to be unnecessary blather and exclude them when ripping albums to my phone.
The members of Tool desire to make their music, and they do it impeccably. And they understand that they have millions of fans and fans are their support. But I don’t know if they will ever comprehend how their music feels in our skins and bones. Bc they are on the other side and don’t know how it feels to receive Tool. There just aren’t enough or adequate words, which is poetic bc Tool’s music is not just instruments and lyrics - it’s a feeling. A place in time. An escape. It takes us to another place from which we don’t want to return. No music has ever moved me like theirs and I was a 12 year old child when Opiate came out. Still a stupid emerging young adult in high school when the album of all albums, AEnima, came out. But that entire body feeling has remained the same since and I will be forever grateful that they found each other, even with a member change. They were always going to succeed.
Another one in the can! I love love your docs! They inspire me to push hard with my own band because if you ever do one on mine, I can die a happy man! Thanks for another awesome video
I was fortunate enough to catch Tool on their first tour. A friend knew of them, turned me on to them and we saw them in concert on top of a parking structure in Pontiac, MIchigan. They were fantastic, of course.
TOOL is the beer of the rock/metal music scene. The first time you experience it, you're like "ah... What the fuck is this?" But, with time and maturation, you acquire the taste. And when you do... Damn it's sweet 🍻🤘🏻🔥
Welcome we are a special group of people i encourage you to look up every single sone they have made togther bc its the only band where i literally love every single song its amazing
I still remember getting Undertow and playing over and over so when Aenima finally came out I was so blown away and I've been hanging on to there journey from then on. My generations Led Zepplin with the complex brilliant tracks and the mystery that seemed to surround them
Me too! I'd been mostly listening to grunge and a little 80s thrash but Undertow blew my mind. I loved everything about it. From the videos to that album-art cow hidden behind the CD holder. Then Aenima came out and it seriously changed everything I thought I liked about music and art in general.
I wanted to play bass as a teen, fell in love with slap bass from RHCP and was obsessed with Cliff Burton, it was after I learned the intro from for whom the bell tolls that I wanted to learn other iconic bass intros, and I looked up a video on TH-cam of iconic intros with tabs, and on it was Schism, this was my first introduction to tool and that bass line instantly had me hooked, I couldn’t believe the stuff they were playing, I got super invested in them sonically, and over the years began to learn what the music was actually about, New Years 2021 was when I had my first psychedelic experience, took some mushrooms and had a beautiful time, I ended up listening to tool during that trip, and it transformed my whole experience, their music does something unexplainable wonderful to your mind, these guys truly understand higher consciousness
That crazy how one of the greatest drummers of all times was his neighbor tool fans can say what they want but tool would be nothing without Dany there sound comes from his crazy tec polly rythem he is easy the best drummer of rock no one comes close how seriously great he is
To me, his awesomeness is a testament to the nature of creativity. Carey just happened to land in a band that allowed him to explore the far reaches of polyrhythms and oddball time signatures. He gets to write super hard stuff in part because the band pushes itself to provide that space for him. This is why creatives who collaborate need to find others who push them to improve, experiment, and be uncomfortable. Carey is a badass, but Tool is badass, everybody pulls each other upward....
When I was a kid and I got Aenima then my mom took me to blockbuster and rented me Holloween. I remember being scared and hearing Eulogy and the drums sounding so cool. My grandpa was smart so I remember asking him if that was one person playing or two. He was just like “who are these guys?” And never minded me playing them on his stereo lol.
I was lucky enough to own a copy of their first e.p. Opiate. It had a very heavy cover, a priest with serpentine eyes. There are live tracks on it including the title track which is super cool. Swans BTW had the drummer who left them for Prong, another underground band who is worth a look.
2:31 that's Tom Morello form Rage in the front row. He grew up with Adam Jones and they played guitar together. Also his mom was Adams teacher in school.
Not a fan of their music but they're an extremely intelligent and fascinating band whose uncompromisingly authentic to their principles. A true gem of an artist in an age of compromise driven by money and fame.
I've never known a soul who doesn't like Tool that can voice an appreciation of their art. Boggles my mind that one could not like a single song of theirs but that's neither here nor there.
@@cal-king read again I never said I didn't "like Tool" (wonder how u define "like" in this case), in fact I said i like them as an ARTist, tho their [genre of] music is something I'm not particularly fond of. Gotta admit that they're (incl their songs) growing on me immensely tho every chance I give them an unbiased, undistracted listen.
@@mel124177 That wasn't an attack on your comment, it was a compliment. I know exactly what you wrote and don't need to read it again. Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word 'like' and quoted "not a fan". In other words I appreciated your view of the band without being a fan.
Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you about the timestamp 15:41. What day was Undertow released? You said it was April 6th 1993 right? I'm just curious. My birthday was April 7th.
Never will there be a band like TOOL. They changed my life as a kid just like so many other people. I heard of this band from sober 9th grade and I was hooked.
A friend got me into Tool when we were both students in around 2008. I'd heard of them before but never really listened. Saw them for the first time 2 nights ago in London with that same friend! Amazing experience.
There are many inaccuracies in the documentary i.e. Tool didn’t win a Grammy for the song Fear Inoculum, it was for best metal performance for the song 7empest on the album Fear Inoculum.
I was 13 years old, some 2+ decades ago, when I was playing Unreal Tournament GOTY live on PC (FPS) and I remember joining a server some dudes I met on irc were running in “snipe only” mode… the background song was Sober… I had no effing idea who they were but this song was like discovering some unknown metaphysical force… been a massive Tool fan since then and own all their albums. To this day, Sober and Right in Two are still on my list of top favorite songs of all time, and yes this included all other bands and their great performances.
King Crimson Discipline changed my life for the better. Tool is one of my all time favorite artist. Apparently I have eclectic taste in music. I can go from Hendrix to Patsy Cline to Split Lip Rayfield seamlessly.
I’ve listened to TOOL since first hearing them on Beavis and Butthead when i was in the 4th grade. I am now 40 and still in love all of Maynard’s bands. Crazy how I can tie Tool or A Perfect Circle song with pretty much every core memory 😂
The Fibonacci Sequence is a little blown out of proportion. There are lots of patterns occurring in nature, and that's just one of them. Maynard has said himself that he likes to explore ideas (like the golden ratio on Lateralus or shadow theory throughout Ænima), but not to read too much into it.
Thank you for such a honest declaration, Im on my 6th month and I can relate to most of the things you describe. Its so refreshing to feel that Im not alone in this process. Enjoy your new life!
I Remember the first time i heard “Sober” I was at my grandparents house watching MTV and the music video came on. Knew right away i needed that cassette tape .
First show I saw when I moved to Cali was Primus & TooL in San Diego at a smaller school campus hall, last show I've seen pre plandemic was TooL at the Forum in LA opening with Fear Inoculum. I will never go to LA again cause it is a hellhole now but glad we ended our concert going days seeing TooL (and talk about prophetic, only months later the world would be invaded by fear which many still reside in)
They rehearsed in Diego. Trippin in an industrial complex raw and dirty around 89’. Primus Diego show was great. Scalped a ticket in hell hole L.A. last minute just as cops arrested the scalper, 20.00 bucks for a good seat! Don’t forget to get your booster! Safe and effective!
It's funny you say most fans know the time and place when they first heard TOOL. I was in 8th grade. My older brother and his best friend(our family friend) picked us up in his OJ Simpson Bronco painted orange. We were hauling ass down the last stretch of road until we got to my house. His sound system was blasting Eulogy. We got to an intersection known for making cars jump, he gave it the gas hard and we caught air right in front of a cop. The cop turned his lights on and by the time he got to us we were already parked at my parents home. No tickets given. Smiles all around. I went inside and used KaZaa or Ares to download everything from TOOL possible.
My favorite band bar none. Their shows are absolutely mesmerizing. Just saw them in November and seeing them again tonight 🤘🏻They are truly sovereign in their art and there will never be another like them ❤every song is a masterpiece 🫶🏻
The very first time I seen them on MTV the song sober the video was bad ass cause they didn't show their face and the riffs just had me hooked! Back in the early 90s and MTV was MTV but that's another story. I was hooked on Tool since! Seen them Live in Florida and they put on a hell of a show and his side band A Perfect Circle are a master piece!
Tool is a band of geniuses, led by drummer Danny Carey and singer Maynard James Keenan. Their music is both creepy and fascinating, and their genius is undeniable.
This is what I get out of their music too. I loved them ever since I was a kid but never really understood much of the lyrics until after having a spiritual awakening and getting into alchemy. Because music is such a powerful thing, I think we all become attracted to certain types of music on a subconscious level for a reason, not just because it sounds cool. It's speaking to your soul too.
This one felt a bit rushed toward the end just stopped doing the albums releases in order , no mentions of side projects , no development or details on other members , maybe the information is not available but I thought there would be more to this

Damn that’s good. You’ve definitely changed my perspective on the gap between albums.
Love them - Rock on TOOL 💯🤘
I think of this musical collective as a higher calling. Each member of TOOL would have always gravitated to where they needed to be in order for Tool to happen. Regardless of their individual journeys... Tool would have ALWAYS effectuated.
THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR WANTED IT SO.
bahah yeah this might be actually happening
Lol, great comment
I would happily watch a 2 hour long documentary on Tool. Many thanks for the video!
Tool is the only band that changed my life. I saw them for the first time in 1996 in a small club called The Garage in Cincinnati. My mind was blown that day and I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
This was a well done documentary. Appreciate the work.
HAH...I first saw them in '96 in a metal sweatbox called the Salem Armory in Oregon. My experience was the same. Best band ever imho.
I remember the garage!!!! I’d give my right arm to have been there
What was Maynard dressed up as?
@@te9591 he was painted blue and wore nothing but a pair of thermal underwear pants. Adam and Justin also wore a little bit of blue paint-like polka dots painted on their torsos.
@w_stew8912 That's Maynards' most iconic look at the peak of their expression. I think it stems a great deal from Japanese Butoh performances.
Met Maynard at a music festival where our band also performed that same night in Tuba City Az. The next day, there was a womens ceremony happening. A ceremony that we call a Hopi Basket Dance. Towards the evening, my ex girlfriend and I were walking home from the Basket Dance and a couple guys had picked us up and gave us a short ride from the dance. When they dropped us off, I noticed that it was Maynard and another lead singer who had also performed at the same music festival with his band called RED THUNDER. I had asked Maynard for an autograph but he didn't have anything to write with but gave me a can of Mountain Dew instead. 😂 hahaha. They were both at the Basket Dance too. Love 🤘TOOL🤘
I’ve known for a long time that Maynard is an open minded and thoughtful artist who truly appreciates the personal expression of others and gives people a chance. Your story just confirmed that for me.
Thanks for telling us about your experience meeting him! Do you still have that Mountsin Dew? LOL
@russell_szabados Aye brother, upon reaching home, my younger brother had just come to visit that same evening, I didn't have the chance to tell him about the Mountain Dew until I came back from the restroom, he had already opened it and drinking it as a chaser, he was drinking hard liquor and was pretty buzzed so I just told him that he was drinking famously hahaha 😆 DAMMAAAAAAT I was a little upset but it's okay 👍 at least I still have the wonderful memories.
P.S. My brother that drank the Mt Dew passed away recently from alcoholism. R.I.P.
My Sobriety date is 1/26/2012
Imagine no one showing up to play drums in your band and Danny f*king Carey just happens to be your neighbor and casually volunteer to help you out. It's like needing a house paint in Italy in the 16th century and your next door neighbor be like "hey, my name is Michaelangelo, I think I can give you a hand with that".
😂😂😂
Top tier comment🤘
I was in a Dark place when listing to Tool around 1993-4 refilled my heart with energy. Was dying of a 100% fatal disease.
Survived it. Not only the disease, but the mental game too. Tool has remained the source of life giving vibrations to this day.
Glad you are still here!!! Music is mandatory and tool is an experience.
You are blessed in more ways than you know my friend ✌️👍😊❣️
MJK and Jonathan Davis are my favourite artists of all time. Everything about them is fascinating and they both have unbelievable stories and talent.
Same!
I love that they are private and let the music speak for itself. Of all my favorite bands, I couldn’t even name who’s in it.
First of several times I saw Tool was in New Orleans LA at Lollapalooza 1993 with my best friend at 14yrs old. Our mom's dropped us off that Saturday morning and said, Have Fun! Rage opened then Tool came on. It was AWESOME! Danny Carey played drums facing away from the crowd so we could see everything he was doing. We were maybe 20ft from the stage. Tool was new to the scene so there wasn't that many people there yet. Maybe 1000 or so I'd think. Most came later to see headliners Alice in Chains and Primus.
I grew up playing piano, violin, acoustic guitar, then electric guitar. I had a huge appreciation for what Tool brought to the rock/metal genre as a young guy. I learned many of their songs and still play them 30+ years later.
You honestly make the best music documentaries I have ever seen. Let alone on TH-cam. They're so high quality. Well made, well written, edited, voiced, everything. And I'm so happy you're finally making one on my favorite band.
What an incredibly nice thing to say, thank you! TOOL was SUPER FUN to make, really interesting band! I'm probably going to do more TOOL videos as there's so much to talk about.
i agree
Agreed! Some bands I’m not too familiar with but I have to watch every time he uploads. These documentaries are top tier!
@@RAWMUSICTV Great video! Though, at 13:00 -- Tool makes reference to L. Ron Hubbard in the song Ænema, not Rosetta Stoned. "Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones, fuck all these gun-toting, hip, gangster-wannabe's."
🎯🎯🎯 Excellent write up and spot on! It’s hard to describe just how fascinating Keenan (Tool) actually is..
i had heard a few Tool songs but could not get into it. years after i first heard them i took some mushrooms with my friend and went to a local show. started feeling weird being around so many people. but i had the most specific idea to just go home and listen to Tool because i needed to know what this shit was about. i left immediately after this thought, got home and started tripping hard, put on Ænema and listened start to finish. then Lateralus. then 10,000 days. and then listened to them again. absolutely phenomenal experience, and it melded perfectly with the feeling of the trip and instantly became the highlight. i heard him scream the phrase 'learn to swim' over and over and just started crying because of the profoundness it had at the time. it's the best feeling when you discover any kick ass music for the first time. i can't think of a better way to discover a band like Tool though.
This is an exceptional well made documentary. You have a gift for story telling.
I definitely remember what I was doing when I first heard Sober on DC101, driving home from HS, I was dumbfounded on how unique, complicated and refreshing the song sounded, love the unique drumming sound Danny brings to the table, like nothing I ever heard before. They really shook the music industry in an era where musicians seemed to be selling out to play what ever was a popular style.
Ahh, good ol' DC101. I grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland (in Greenbelt where a NASA is located) right outside of DC. They and WHFS (99.1?) were intregreral for helping me shape my love for Rock music at such a young age. Good stuff!
I saw the video a few times on MTV. I was hooked, bought the album. Then I got my homies hooked. Then I remember going to Sam Goodie, the dude behind the counter said Aenima was pretty different from Undertow, but that it was still very good. The very first time I heard H., I was utterly dumbstruck. Aenima is probably my favorite rock album of all time. Every single song is just mindblowing.
I actually do remember where I was the first time I heard them. It was when some radio stations were playing Sober without listening to the lyrics or maybe some didn't give a damn. I got the cd (with the artwork intact) and played the whole damn thing. What a band. So original, complex, artistic and at the time, pretty well underrated.
I got undertow from one of those buy 1 cd get 10 free scam programs of the 90s. I thought the cd art was cool so it was one of the free cds lol.
The first time I heard Tool I was riding around with my older brother and his buddy smoking weed. His buddy popped Anema into the CD player and that was it.. I was like damn, who tf is this! I think I was 14 at the time. I got an offer for a free ticket to Ozzfest later that year and low and behold, I got to witness the best damn concert ever on their Anema tour! What an unforgettable show, it was freakin’ awesome!
Thank you for your amazing content! TOOL is one of my favorite bands!
Im glad this documentary mentioned MJK liking Swans. That's another band Tool fans should look into. Especially The Seer, To Be Kind, and The Glowing Man. Older albums that are good are Soundtracks for the Blind, The Great Annihilator, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity, and Children of God are some of the best. Their earlier albums were so punishing, not everyone will enjoy. The later albums I mentioned are a meditative, ethereal, spiritual experience also using hard rock as a vehicle for very cinematic and essential listening. They are also incredible live.
I've never heard of them until this video but could tell I'd like their sound just from the little snippets he played
Absofuckinglutly... never made a connection between them but the singularity of what they're out to do and what they wind up doing is just like years Beyond others
I'll certainly check those out, thanks!
Swans live....one word comes to mind: *ORGASMIC!*
Could someone tell me what was the song playing by Swans? Thanks
Seen TooL 4 times. Watching them live is a spectacle 🔥🤘🏼👏👏🙌
A band I really need to see live!
@@RAWMUSICTV You must. It’s an experience like no other.
@@RAWMUSICTV I've been lucky enough to have seen them on tour supporting all of their albums from Aenima to Fear Inoculum. I've seen them 9 times total and they never disappoint. They always sound fantastic (asside from unavoidable venue issues, some rooms just have terrible acoustics) and they always have incredible visual art. Anyone who likes their music should definitely see them at least one time.
@RAWMUSICTV they aren't the same live as before but still good. Puscifer is better cause it is more in maynards range at his advancing age
Totally Totally agree.. Maynard's stage presents is one of a kind💕
I became a big Tool fan when the song H came out. I thought, there's something special about this band. In 2010, my two daughters and I, went to see Tool in Sacramento. Tailgating outside Arco Arena that night, I can see where people would consider their fans as a cult. It was awesome!
Great song H
That song would bring me to tears when I was in HS. I know it still can.. It's a freakin' masterpiece.
Rio Linda
On my 21st birthday me and my best friend did a bunch of acid and listened to all the tool albums all day and drew in our black books and hung out with a ferret named Frakus. The good ol days.
That sounds like an amazing day bro. I love listening to fear innoculum when I'm tripping it's literally like a rollercoaster
@@RareAries323 that’s an amazing song,
the first time i listened to full Tool albums was also on psychedelics and it blew my mind. the music merging with psychedelic auditory hallucinations was like nothing i'd heard before. and the words all feeling profound as fuck. tripping with a ferret is badass
Your documentaries are incredible and very fascinating to watch. Keep up the great work!!
I'm so thankful my husband introduced me to Tool. I didn't get it at first. I liked them but it took me a long time , and lots of listening, for it to click with me. Now, I can barely listen to other music. There is no band that can top them.
Well done! Been a huge fan of Tool since I was a junior in high school in 92! Went on to play drums in a band for 20 years. Well known as Tool fans, we performed a Tool tribute concert for the radio station Q106 in Lansing Michigan's Temple Club. 🤘
Been a huge Tool fan since Opiate..and I still consider it one of their best albums
I found Tool at Lollapalooza in 1993. Hooked ever since.
By spoofing the media Tool has maintained their music in a pure fashion by never adding unnecessary blather to distract from it. They have a rare integrity as artists that I deeply respect. When they could have made more money they resisted every time to stay pure to their vision. Well done Tool.
I would definitely consider the filler tracks like cesaro summability or mantra to be unnecessary blather and exclude them when ripping albums to my phone.
@Drumdogma yeah but they aren't their to make money, it's to let the music breathe in between songs
This whole thing blew my mind. Well done! Thank you for putting this together.
The members of Tool desire to make their music, and they do it impeccably. And they understand that they have millions of fans and fans are their support. But I don’t know if they will ever comprehend how their music feels in our skins and bones. Bc they are on the other side and don’t know how it feels to receive Tool. There just aren’t enough or adequate words, which is poetic bc Tool’s music is not just instruments and lyrics - it’s a feeling. A place in time. An escape. It takes us to another place from which we don’t want to return. No music has ever moved me like theirs and I was a 12 year old child when Opiate came out. Still a stupid emerging young adult in high school when the album of all albums, AEnima, came out. But that entire body feeling has remained the same since and I will be forever grateful that they found each other, even with a member change. They were always going to succeed.
Yesssss!!!!❤
Another one in the can! I love love your docs! They inspire me to push hard with my own band because if you ever do one on mine, I can die a happy man! Thanks for another awesome video
Tool is the main reason why I learn guitar and started playing music and with every album they Do the better the music sounds
You mean the more recycled it sounds.
@@williamblack2549 nah I agree, every album is different
I was fortunate enough to catch Tool on their first tour. A friend knew of them, turned me on to them and we saw them in concert on top of a parking structure in Pontiac, MIchigan. They were fantastic, of course.
I still remember where I was the first time I heard tool. Instantly hooked.
I love their music and what they stand for.
Another great video about another band I've grew up listening to. Maynard has always fascinated me.
TOOL is the beer of the rock/metal music scene. The first time you experience it, you're like "ah... What the fuck is this?" But, with time and maturation, you acquire the taste. And when you do... Damn it's sweet 🍻🤘🏻🔥
Yes 100%
More like psychedelics to me lol but I totally understand.
@@damonddailey349 lol goddamn right man
you can get used to the "flavour" all you want, but no getting around it, it taste like crap
@@AlexWheely-bx7pk to each their own 🤷🏼♂️
Great piece. I just became a fan the last few years and now I really appreciate how awesome the band is because of this documentary. Thanks!
Welcome to the family!
Welcome we are a special group of people i encourage you to look up every single sone they have made togther bc its the only band where i literally love every single song its amazing
This is gonna be awesome! Tool one of my top 3 favorite bands of all time ever since I learned how to open my Third Eye 👁🔥🤘
I still remember getting Undertow and playing over and over so when Aenima finally came out I was so blown away and I've been hanging on to there journey from then on. My generations Led Zepplin with the complex brilliant tracks and the mystery that seemed to surround them
Me too! I'd been mostly listening to grunge and a little 80s thrash but Undertow blew my mind. I loved everything about it. From the videos to that album-art cow hidden behind the CD holder. Then Aenima came out and it seriously changed everything I thought I liked about music and art in general.
Tool . A perfect Circle . Janes ADDICTION. And Alice in CHAINS. My favorite bands.
All them witches, Budgie,
Add Deftones
Your mom is my favorite band
@@Paragonpariah Your Mom Band
A punk rock band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, whose members are all over 60 years old.
I wanted to play bass as a teen, fell in love with slap bass from RHCP and was obsessed with Cliff Burton, it was after I learned the intro from for whom the bell tolls that I wanted to learn other iconic bass intros, and I looked up a video on TH-cam of iconic intros with tabs, and on it was Schism, this was my first introduction to tool and that bass line instantly had me hooked, I couldn’t believe the stuff they were playing, I got super invested in them sonically, and over the years began to learn what the music was actually about, New Years 2021 was when I had my first psychedelic experience, took some mushrooms and had a beautiful time, I ended up listening to tool during that trip, and it transformed my whole experience, their music does something unexplainable wonderful to your mind, these guys truly understand higher consciousness
That crazy how one of the greatest drummers of all times was his neighbor tool fans can say what they want but tool would be nothing without Dany there sound comes from his crazy tec polly rythem he is easy the best drummer of rock no one comes close how seriously great he is
To me, his awesomeness is a testament to the nature of creativity. Carey just happened to land in a band that allowed him to explore the far reaches of polyrhythms and oddball time signatures. He gets to write super hard stuff in part because the band pushes itself to provide that space for him. This is why creatives who collaborate need to find others who push them to improve, experiment, and be uncomfortable. Carey is a badass, but Tool is badass, everybody pulls each other upward....
When I was a kid and I got Aenima then my mom took me to blockbuster and rented me Holloween. I remember being scared and hearing Eulogy and the drums sounding so cool. My grandpa was smart so I remember asking him if that was one person playing or two. He was just like “who are these guys?” And never minded me playing them on his stereo lol.
Make a full documentary brother, it will be much appreciated. I appreaciate your efforts on this one nevertheless! Good job!
Tool is the best band ever. I'm 54 and and have been listening to them since the beginning 😌
Same…56 here
Same. 55 years old and will be 56 this year. Been with Tool from their beginning. Loved Opiate and Undertow.
Really are the best band of all time
I wasn't expecting much in 25 min but wow!!! Excellent work and very thorough.
I was lucky enough to own a copy of their first e.p. Opiate. It had a very heavy cover, a priest with serpentine eyes. There are live tracks on it including the title track which is super cool. Swans BTW had the drummer who left them for Prong, another underground band who is worth a look.
Opiate has some of the best songs on it
"Kick that Bob Marley wannabe motherfucker outta here!"
Priceless...
2:31 that's Tom Morello form Rage in the front row. He grew up with Adam Jones and they played guitar together. Also his mom was Adams teacher in school.
He went to Harvard
Not a fan of their music but they're an extremely intelligent and fascinating band whose uncompromisingly authentic to their principles. A true gem of an artist in an age of compromise driven by money and fame.
What about Maynard's band A Perfect Circle?
I've never known a soul who doesn't like Tool that can voice an appreciation of their art. Boggles my mind that one could not like a single song of theirs but that's neither here nor there.
@@cal-king read again I never said I didn't "like Tool" (wonder how u define "like" in this case), in fact I said i like them as an ARTist, tho their [genre of] music is something I'm not particularly fond of. Gotta admit that they're (incl their songs) growing on me immensely tho every chance I give them an unbiased, undistracted listen.
@@mel124177 That wasn't an attack on your comment, it was a compliment.
I know exactly what you wrote and don't need to read it again. Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word 'like' and quoted "not a fan". In other words I appreciated your view of the band without being a fan.
@@cal-king a misunderstanding then. My bad, sorry.
Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you about the timestamp 15:41. What day was Undertow released? You said it was April 6th 1993 right? I'm just curious. My birthday was April 7th.
Shizzim is definitely my favourite TOIL track
“It’s a trap”
2:23 My favorite song shism. All jokes aside love it! Amazing quality and editing
Maynard is brilliant. All you need to do is pay attention to the depth of their lyrics and his intelligence is front and center. Mad love
So true they will always be my number 1 fave band. That has never changed.
When I was younger my dad used to play tool all the time and I never really was crazy about them but damn now I appreciate and love them so much
Prison Sex WAS NOT banned by MTV. I watched it every night late nite on MTV in high school.
Excellent job. If you're taking ideas for future projects, I think you would be the perfect person to tell the definitive story of Faith no More.
Awesome documentary man, well researched & put together!! 👌🤘
Cheers chap
Never will there be a band like TOOL. They changed my life as a kid just like so many other people.
I heard of this band from sober 9th grade and I was hooked.
Good to see Swans getting some love, great band
Great video. But I wonder what's the song playing in the background? It's so good
Probably this th-cam.com/video/iEIJ9FuP0nY/w-d-xo.html
@@RAWMUSICTV Thanks mate, you're a legend!
@@RAWMUSICTV hey man that link isnt working anymore. I had the same question though if yall are referencing the ambient dub tune.
Tool is the soundtrack to every JiuJitsu gym I’ve been in
A friend got me into Tool when we were both students in around 2008. I'd heard of them before but never really listened. Saw them for the first time 2 nights ago in London with that same friend! Amazing experience.
Love this documentary, extra points for the really cool background tool music mix, it works perfectly!
There are many inaccuracies in the documentary i.e. Tool didn’t win a Grammy for the song Fear Inoculum, it was for best metal performance for the song 7empest on the album Fear Inoculum.
Tool is one of a kind. Danny Carey and Jones are on another level.
They are all on another level
Yeah, Justin is no slouch
I was 13 years old, some 2+ decades ago, when I was playing Unreal Tournament GOTY live on PC (FPS) and I remember joining a server some dudes I met on irc were running in “snipe only” mode… the background song was Sober… I had no effing idea who they were but this song was like discovering some unknown metaphysical force… been a massive Tool fan since then and own all their albums. To this day, Sober and Right in Two are still on my list of top favorite songs of all time, and yes this included all other bands and their great performances.
King Crimson Discipline changed my life for the better. Tool is one of my all time favorite artist. Apparently I have eclectic taste in music. I can go from Hendrix to Patsy Cline to Split Lip Rayfield seamlessly.
Split Lip is so fucking good.
I’ve listened to TOOL since first hearing them on Beavis and Butthead when i was in the 4th grade. I am now 40 and still in love all of Maynard’s bands. Crazy how I can tie Tool or A Perfect Circle song with pretty much every core memory 😂
Hello generation!😉
Amazing video as always! Still hoping for longer/deeper dive videos!
I'll be doing more in depth videos for sure!
@@RAWMUSICTVI hope you do a part 2 of tool
The Fibonacci Sequence is a little blown out of proportion. There are lots of patterns occurring in nature, and that's just one of them. Maynard has said himself that he likes to explore ideas (like the golden ratio on Lateralus or shadow theory throughout Ænima), but not to read too much into it.
what is the song that starts at 2:45? would love to have that on repeat. love your videos by the way!!!!
Sober
I’ve got the same question
Por incrível que pareça, comecei a ouvir Tool na pandemia, 2020. Foda. Além das outras bandas e do famoso clipe quw aborda o Covid-19.
Thank you for such a honest declaration, Im on my 6th month and I can relate to most of the things you describe. Its so refreshing to feel that Im not alone in this process. Enjoy your new life!
Tools concerts are a flood of visual effects - paintings and holograms. I’ve been going to their shows with the same friends since the 90’s.
13:02
Could someone tell me what Maynard said about L Ron in the song aenima?
The greatest band in the history of music in my opinion.
100%
Great documentary!..I'm glad you mentioned Facelift was"Unleashed"..That was awesome..
I'm waiting on Tool's version of 'The Wall'. Imagine the mind-blowing audio-visual masterpiece that could be
OMG Acid trip w/o having to take a hit!
When you go to their show you take something!
I Remember the first time i heard “Sober” I was at my grandparents house watching MTV and the music video came on. Knew right away i needed that cassette tape .
First show I saw when I moved to Cali was Primus & TooL in San Diego at a smaller school campus hall, last show I've seen pre plandemic was TooL at the Forum in LA opening with Fear Inoculum. I will never go to LA again cause it is a hellhole now but glad we ended our concert going days seeing TooL (and talk about prophetic, only months later the world would be invaded by fear which many still reside in)
They rehearsed in Diego. Trippin in an industrial complex raw and dirty around 89’. Primus Diego show was great. Scalped a ticket in hell hole L.A. last minute just as cops arrested the scalper, 20.00 bucks for a good seat! Don’t forget to get your booster! Safe and effective!
Nailed it
What is the Band and Song After Pink Floyd? The Swans? 4:50
Yeah I also wanna know!
I seen Tool live, the loudest band I have ever seen live.
Loudest since the early 80's, punk, Sabbath, Motorhead, for me as well.
I’ve seen them as well. They weren’t as loud as Jucifer or Mogwai, or Lightning Bolt.
Swans are pretty loud...
It's funny you say most fans know the time and place when they first heard TOOL. I was in 8th grade. My older brother and his best friend(our family friend) picked us up in his OJ Simpson Bronco painted orange. We were hauling ass down the last stretch of road until we got to my house. His sound system was blasting Eulogy. We got to an intersection known for making cars jump, he gave it the gas hard and we caught air right in front of a cop. The cop turned his lights on and by the time he got to us we were already parked at my parents home. No tickets given. Smiles all around. I went inside and used KaZaa or Ares to download everything from TOOL possible.
Metals answer to PiNk FloYd
And answer the mf facist Roger water as well!
Whats the name of the song in the background, at minute 14:00? Downtempo song
I found Tool through "Beavis and Butthead ".
I heard Opiate the year it was released. I’ve loved every album since. MJ allowing his music to be heard on ITunes was an amazing day for me.
My favorite band bar none. Their shows are absolutely mesmerizing. Just saw them in November and seeing them again tonight 🤘🏻They are truly sovereign in their art and there will never be another like them ❤every song is a masterpiece 🫶🏻
The very first time I seen them on MTV the song sober the video was bad ass cause they didn't show their face and the riffs just had me hooked! Back in the early 90s and MTV was MTV but that's another story. I was hooked on Tool since! Seen them Live in Florida and they put on a hell of a show and his side band A Perfect Circle are a master piece!
Tool fan jokes aside, I can't think of musicians in synch as tight as this band. They are magic live and in studio
That performance of him singing sober is still one of my favorites
Tool is a band of geniuses, led by drummer Danny Carey and singer Maynard James Keenan. Their music is both creepy and fascinating, and their genius is undeniable.
There has never been a band like Tool. I'm 60 and a guitarist, their music is awesome. I love acid and often do it. The music is awesome.
TOOL is about human alchemy, to transcend to a higher self, beyond the ego and the material world.
This is what I get out of their music too. I loved them ever since I was a kid but never really understood much of the lyrics until after having a spiritual awakening and getting into alchemy. Because music is such a powerful thing, I think we all become attracted to certain types of music on a subconscious level for a reason, not just because it sounds cool. It's speaking to your soul too.
what song is that in the background of @12:44 ?
My Birthday is Today!
Happy Birthday buddy!!
Mine was this past Saturday and I turned 40!!!!
And I’m still not a man my dad told me.
This one felt a bit rushed toward the end just stopped doing the albums releases in order , no mentions of side projects , no development or details on other members , maybe the information is not available but I thought there would be more to this
This band are incredible. My favourite band. 🙌
Me tto
