Watch the speech Danny gives at the Grammy awards. He says something to the effect that he had hope for humanity if they had the attention span for a 15 min song and enjoyed it.
Ok, so I've said this in other places but in a century ago, Aldous Huxley released a novel entitled Antic Hay. A particular paragraph went "Seven million souls ... in an empested atmosphere" [Seven Empest]
A wall of pure sonic bliss!!! Like being wrapped in warm blanket on a cold day! Tears of joy watching your reaction!!! And yes they just get better and better!!!! Here we go again...
I've been waiting for this reaction. My favorite tool song, listening to it multiple times during the day. It's about our reaction against the destructive and manipulative politicians. As much as I've enjoyed this song so much, I can't believe how it depicts my feelings towards our immoral government after the tragic train crash in Greece...sorry, don't want to make any body feel sad, I just want to say: don't trust the government and the politicians! People deserve better than hypocrites.
I believe there was a few times during this track that you were saying to yourself “How? How? How can this band be this damn good? 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us, we really appreciate it!!! I too wish for more new Tool in the future, but in my heart, I think 7empest was their swan song. If so, what an epic way to go!!! Now enjoy listening to this a few hundred times more, it gets better & better with each listen 🤘🏻🌀
Adam obviously takes the spotlight with some of his most brilliant guitar work in all of Tools catalogue and just rock/metal in general, but when you get a chance to listen again, pay very close attention to the interplay of Danny and Justin in the back laying down one of the sickest and most nuanced rhythm grooves evolving over the song you've ever heard.
People say Tool songs are too long but I don't see how they could be shorter. That's what I love about them they aren't constrained by commercial limitations it's all about the art. They stop writing when the song is done and we can deal with it. Another great reaction.
Kevin, I so much enjoy watching the permanent smile and occasional laughter, just like with me, when hearing TOOL tickles your ears. Plus the urge to dance, as you know!! 😉🤘🏼
“7empest” is a song in which Tool is apparently addressing politicians and those of a similar ilk, as in leaders and masters of public opinion. And the sentiments they are relaying towards them are not favorable. Instead, the band is basically accusing them of misleading the masses. And they make this assertion specifically in regards to a pending “tempest” which is headed their way. And this is what the stylized title of this track actually alludes to. A “tempest”, as many of us already know, is a word used to describe a violent storm. However, in this case, Tool is not using the expression literally. Rather they are, once again, referring to the force of some type of pending calamity or judgment.
And on top of the lyrical content, in their brilliance as a band, the instrumental soundscape of the song can be read as the sonic equivalent of having a literal tempest pass over you.
Woke up this morning feeling really crap, anxious. Thought "damn how cool would it be if Kev had another reaction video, I can't wait for him to do 7empest". Lo and behold! That was 17 minutes of pure joy watching this video mate, absolutely spot on, music is the cure. About to watch your reaction to The Pot live @ Download, but yeah, please do the one of them at Reading 1993 at some point. It's amazing how far they've come as a band. I feel sorry for people who don't have the patience to listen to Tool, they are really missing out on some truly sublime music. Fun fact : Danny Carey did this in like 1 or 2 takes. Absolute weapon!
You've listened to their whole discography, it was cool for me to realize that 7empest explores all of their past styles too, starting from Undertow all the way until Fear Inoculum.
Awesome vid bud. Great journey it's been through these albums. Still plenty of live Tool and plenty of APC and Puscifer left, among other fun vids ahead I'm sure 🤘🏼🌀🌀🌀🍻
Incredible! Now with relistens I’ like, what did Danny just do? Was Justin holding those X-triplets the entire time? Who’s keeping track of time?! His did this work!
Time does not pass while you’re listening to TθθL. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.
Have you done the witness by Adam jones yet mate, just a track to promote adams signature Gibson guitar, no vocals but a couple of surprises which I won’t spoil lol. Plus the video is unreal
Yo. I love the way you react to music! It's very similar to the way I do. 😂 You should give Dvne a try. They're a prog/metal band from Scotland. I suggest their live studio video for Towers. Loved your video.
We lost you at 8:57, you were somewhere else for a minute there! Then at 12:07 I thought you were going to peel your face off like that dude from Poltergeist! Your dumbfounded reaction was truly genuine.
You like sevens, eh? How'd you like the seven at Anfield on Sunday? Haha sorry mate, just had to throw that in there as an LFC fan and having followed your Tool journey with them jerseys always in the background bugging me! Great track, great reaction. 7!
Maybe after the Tool journey is over which I loved you could check out a band called Opeth. I'm not saying to abandon all things Maynard (please don't) or another band called Chevelle

yeah, love this one. cool seeing them in the flesh too
They saved the BEST to go out with a BANG!!!
phenomenal 🌀🌀🌀🌀

This track PROVES that ADAM can shred with the BEST! ✌️
💯
That moment when Kev froze and just let it in!🤯🥶
Yes!
took me far away …….🌀🌀🌀
It gets better every time you hear it one of my fav songs all time
loved it Gary👍🏽👌🏽👊🏽🌀🌀🌀
A wall of pure sonic bliss!!! Like being wrapped in warm blanket on a cold day! Tears of joy watching your reaction!!! And yes they just get better and better!!!! Here we go again...
thanks Thomas, was epic👍🏽🌀🌀🌀

absolutely correct, epic journey mate👍🏽

I will take a listen back👍🏽

I love the long tracks, turns it into an experience rather than just a listen👌🏽
This is my fav on the album. power and confidence...it's a good lift!

@@kevinty7 awesome man, thank you
You've listened to their whole discography, it was cool for me to realize that 7empest explores all of their past styles too, starting from Undertow all the way until Fear Inoculum.
spectacular 👍🏽
What a amazing journey. Thank you! 🙏
nice one Ethan, plenty more to come👍🏽

nice one Skip, thanks for joining the live stream too👍🏽🙌🏽
The TOOL TRIP is over? It's not my friend, with TOOL it's just begun. Not about the destination it's about the journey.
nice one Trev, I think I am still a beginner with a solid foundation 👍🏽🫶🏽
What a way to finish eh? Actually got a bit teary for you there. It's alot to absorb. Great art is just amazing.
it’s been epic mate, thanks for joining the stream, worked well, still so much too hear I think👍🏽👌🏽

nice Stephen👊🏽🤘🏽
Check out a TH-cam channel called Tool live REMASTERED, lots of good stuff. I especially like the parabola performance from 2002 on the laterals tour.
excellent, thanks Jason👍🏽
This track is so good its literally painful. Was great to see someone else have a similar experience
damn right Shilo👍🏽🌀🌀🌀
Have you done the witness by Adam jones yet mate, just a track to promote adams signature Gibson guitar, no vocals but a couple of surprises which I won’t spoil lol. Plus the video is unreal
I will be doing that Jeff, popular suggestion 👍🏽
A tem-pest must be just that = 7

ok thanks Scott👍🏽

🤣Got completely lost in there John 👌
Everyone freaks out about the guitar in this track (and rightly so) but the drumming is superior to Pneuma, in my opinion.
one of my many listen backs will focus purely on drums👍🏽
You like sevens, eh? How'd you like the seven at Anfield on Sunday? Haha sorry mate, just had to throw that in there as an LFC fan and having followed your Tool journey with them jerseys always in the background bugging me! Great track, great reaction. 7!
no hiding place 😂😱well and truly pumped😂🤷🏽♂️
Maybe after the Tool journey is over which I loved you could check out a band called Opeth. I'm not saying to abandon all things Maynard (please don't) or another band called Chevelle
all ideas are good🫶🏽
merkaba is a track you haven’t reacted to yet
I have Chris😂check back on the channel👍🏽
Every part of the lyrics match Trump.
Acting all surprised when you’re caught in the lie...
No amount of wind could begin to cover up your petulant stench & demeanor.
