@@teamfingahs4907 well... technically, this was before we were actually people.... in fact, it was before we separated from chimps and gorillas actually... the whole content of that song is retarded.... it's just that the song is amazing
@@notimportant3686 They are painting a metaphorical picture. It's not necessarily to be taken literally and does not rely on scientific accuracy if that would oppose the intuitive understanding. In that sense, the interpretation of it being about withdrawal/beating an addiction is just as valid as an evolutionary one or one of general self-improvement.
I'm so happy Forty Six & 2 beat out 7empest, and here's why: You guys are brand new to Tool. Take in all their older stuff first (I know you did Invincible and loved it) that will be the best way to get to know them. 7empest is a 15 minute long insanity that weaves through their entire discography. Having a grasp of their older stuff will give you a much deeper appreciation of their new album, I believe. I've been a fan since 2001 and it took me a good 10 listens of Fear Inoculum to really appreciate and begin to understand it. You guys being musicians will get it quicker than me, but listening to their older albums first will provide a deeper appreciation. At least that's my opinion.
Wow, good point bro....your right about possibly starting with there early work first and working our way up. Good idea. Hit that subscribe button and stay tuned for much more my friend
This is my favorite thing about Tool. I had listened to tempest 100 tones before I stumble across your comment and I had never looked at the song ad being the sum of bits and pieces from the rest of the entire catalogue and now tempest feels like a completely different song and it's like hearing it for the first time again. I've had a similar experience with every song and album. I have friends that will winter how I can listen to nothing but tool and I always tell them that as soon as it gets old or i feel like one extracted everything I could, I will love on. But ive been at it since 1996 and I'm still picking up stuff I missed on the first thousand listens. So hats off to you. Well said. Cheers.
@@SugartitsTattoo Ah yes, that's a good way to put it. That's why I love Tool reaction videos, they give me a new perspective of the song from brand new ears. I get to hear someone else's interpretation of a song and it makes me rethink what I thought of it for years. It brings in so many new layers it's like a new song! Cheers to you sir!
Seriously , Willie for President! Ticks and Leeches is all time great Drumming song.. even voted up really high on the Rolling Stone list of the same name.
This song is about introspection. This song is about digging through old memories, the negative side of your psyche that you bury and repress and ultimately harms your life in ways you don’t consciously perceive. The “shadow” is a term from Jungian psychology. It is one of the many Jungian archetypes. It is the opposite of the ego. It is all the negative aspects and self-deprecating parts of your self-perception. It can really be seen in any way that you personally interpret of discovering those buried parts of yourself that consist of your shadow... so your interpretation of these negative aspects coming up through a withdrawal experience is valid. However, I always saw this song as explaining the experience of coming through a very intense and negative bad trip on a very heavy dose of psychedelics... 6 hits of strong acid or 6 grams of strong mushrooms... one might think they’ll have an intensely beautiful experience, when suddenly the paranoia and fear hits once... and as soon as it does, it snowballs into a personal first-class trip straight to death and hell. A terrifying and dark bad trio into ego-death territory will send you STRAIGHT into your “shadow” and the only option at that point is to maintain and come out the other side, hopefully learning some profound truths about yourself. And in my experience, it’s actually these challenging, hard, negative trips, marinated in fear are the ones you actually learn the most about yourself from, and grown the most from. That’s how I view the lyrics of this song. (I see it sort of serving as a companion piece to Third Eye, the final, epic track from this album, which is blatantly about psychedelics.... where that song is about having a more positive intense psychedelic experience, this song is about the other fork in the road that you can go down after ingesting some of that sacrament.) Though like I said, it’s open to interpretation... all tool songs are very much open to interpretation... they have a basic meaning which is on the surface, but they leave it up to the listener to let themselves attach their own personal experience and meaning into that framework to really be a more personal experience to that listener... so if someone has experienced what Maynard is singing about in this song by going through a withdrawal episode (and I can personally vouch that that is surely a possibility) then that is a completely valid interpretation of this song. Also, many people will say that this song is ABOUT the evolution of man from having “44+2” chromosomes to having “46+2” chromosomes... what some people call “Christ consciousness”... our supposed next step in human evolution... but the song is not ABOUT that... it merely uses that theory to say “46+2 is just ahead of me” meaning that by going through this experience of sifting through his shadow-self, a personal evolution is ahead of him... that his consciousness is on a path to expansion, and this shadow-experience is a step on that journey.
mpd370... I actually really love that that verse happens to be describing some sort of cataclysm... but it’s only a coincidence... the 46+2 chromosome thing aka “Christ consciousness” in new age terminology has been well established as the meaning (or more specifically the inspiration) of the song title for a long long time... since the 90s... interesting verse though. (Also, I would say the video definitely aligns with the idea that it’s based on a psychedelic spiritual experience... particularly the last bit with the leaf and the Alex Grey collaboration bit)
All about change and evolution, choosing to embrace. The Shadow refers to Jungian archetype, unconscious parts of us that can be dark/light, negative/positive. Scabs are old wounds in us haven’t yet healed in our minds and souls.
Hollywood made a mistake and said this song was from 10,000 years (which is actually 10,000 days) 🤦♂️....He corrected himself later in the video. Honest mistake...Subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for more.
I like the mistakes in these early discovering tool videos! Shows that you guys are just getting into them and it’s very cool and raw. Keep it up and keep having fun with the reactions! Cheers
Love how rappers always pay attention to the lyrics, not that I should be surprised of course. Maynard is definitely the best lyricist I’ve ever heard.
this song refers to one of carl jung's concepts, the shadow. jung reckoned that when we're being brought up and we're taught which of our behaviours are socially acceptable and which aren't we suppress one side and nurture the other and they become our shadow and our persona. the shadow's still always there and it still runs our behaviour as much as the above ground part. jung thought that through dreaming and bringing dreams into reality with art and rituals we can take control of our selves and be what we were meant to be
Gotta say you 2 are a pleasure to watch, reacting to shit I love. I love your analysing, your enthusiasm and your interpretation of the songs you're both reacting to. Keep up the awesome work lads. Much love from New Zealand.
It always makes me laugh when people listen to this for the first time and say "I'm going to have to look into this.." This song alone sucked me so far down the rabbit hole. I am still learning years later.
The song in general is all about self-improvement and reflecting on yourself to evolve and be a better person. You can view it through the lens of overcoming addiction if that's how it hits you. The great thing with alot of Tool songs is that the specifics of song meanings can always come down to the person listening. The songs are what you want them to be to work for you.
The O’Keefe music school has kids that absolutely KILL this song!!!!!!! They’re like 12-17. You NEED to see their version of this song!! You will not be disappointed!!!!! Worth every second!!!
i know, i corrected myself at the end of the video. i felt like an idiot 🤦♂️...im sure there will be plenty more comments that are gonna correct me. Honest mistake
@@Hollywood6IX no i get it. we be being humans right. I honestly love your enthusiasm in your video's. keep up the good work and i hope to see more from you soon. you guys should listen to Mouth for war by Pantera.
Yes!!!!!!! You guys picked another one of my absolute favorite Tool songs. They f'n killed it on this one. Pure genius!! The spectacular Aenima is one hell of an album. Jimmy, H and 3rd eye should be next on the list. Best rock band on the planet. So happy you guys see that. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Love love love you guys!!! You have to react to Audio slave (Chris Cornell's side band) the song called "Last Remaining Light". God rest his soul. It's out of this world. Much love and peace, Laura from Boston 😊
Since I 1st heard Tool in 1991, I've always said that Tool is the Pink Floyd of our generation. Both bands blew music outta the water, made their own genre, & they both pushed the limits farther than any other musicians. What Floyd was to ppl in the 70's-80's, Tool is that to us now. & They pushed it even more than Floyd did. That's why they're the greatest band of all
Absolutely loved all your Tool reactions and appreciate the time and effort you both did during the journey. If you would, please react to the 'Kids cover 46 & 2' by O'Keefe Music Foundation students. It will surely leave you speachless. 100% guaranteed! For many years, my personal favorite Tool song and to see this performance gave me a sense of gratitude that music students are covering such amazing musical geniuses like Tool.
Been binge watching your reactions all night now, and just came to this vid from your "Parabol/Parabola" reaction, and your... "maturity"? with your Tool experience is not even subtle now. I' love to see some re-react vids from these days, like from this song, as you hear it now. Maybe "Re-Tool Thursdays"?
Can you guys PLEASE react to Tool again?!!!!! What I would give to see you guys experience Tool again. It would be cool to see an update on both of your Tool journeys .
I know I'm late, but it's not Alex Grey's artwork on this album, it's Chet Zar. And maybe there's a video online of the CD case, which makes the artwork lenticular. It's really cool to have in your hand. You guys are awesome!
Also, not to crowd comments too much, but I'd happily suggest either a more "ambient" track of theirs (like, Reflection), or the classic Parabol/Parabola combo (have I mentioned I'm a fan of Lateralus?) - here are some links for you guys: Parabola (both songs into one, as meant to be listened to, directly from the band's channel) th-cam.com/video/-_nQhGR0K8M/w-d-xo.html and Reflection: th-cam.com/video/4MzVuHqsNoM/w-d-xo.html
That's funny you guys mention it all started with Sober. As it did for me years and years ago and I just love and respect the band so much. Love you guys keep up the good work
Interesting you made the Pink Floyd comparison. When I saw them initially in 2001,my first reaction to their concert performance was “damn,they reminded me of Pink Floyd”,which I saw perform as well many years before . Their shows are something otherworldly . That’s all I can say.
he's also talking about personal growth. Obviously Maynard writes in layers...here, he's saying I'm no longer going to be fixated on my shadow: he's no longer going to overanalyze, revel in personal faults, picking scabs. He's shedding skin and focusing on the present, the moment. These themes recur in many of his lyrics about being present and not dwelling on the past.
The beauty of the Tool journey is discovery. I’ve watched your videos several times over and what I enjoy the most is the honest reaction, right or wrong. I really hope no one ever crosses a line enough with negative sentiments that it feels discouraging. Tool is for everyone. Tool is the feeling mans rock band. Lbsigntoolarmy
Great job reacting to these songs I grew up with! This is probably my favorite album from them which is hard to choose but this song has been mos def my favorite TOOL song ever to this day! Ya gotta do some DEFTONES though!🤘🏻
Tool with this song refer to the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung, who talked about "The Shadow". The shadow are the negative traits of people, that we are in denial about, and project unto others. For example if I'm jealous, but ashamed about it, and thus in denial about it, I'm going to say that other people are jealous. Jung said that in order to be "whole" you have to integrate your shadow. This means you have to open your eyes, see the unhealthy patterns of your life, acknowledge them, and find the true meaning of your life. Also, Jung was all about the collective unconscious and the symbolism of numbers and archetypes in general. Tool are so effing amazing for using this
The shadow part is referring to the psychologist Carl Jung who said that everyone had a dark side or “shadow” and that you had to integrate your shadow into your persona in order to effect great personal change
Danny Carey is LITERALLY a mathematician.... For real. I am the Biggest Tool fan ever and have been following them since I was 13 which was a bit controversial at my age in my household, but my parents let me follow their albums so that I could have a career in singing, guitar, piano, etc. They have and ALWAYS will be my favorite and MOST INTELLIGENT AND FAVORITE BAND EVER. Got to see them live 2 times, ridiculous, seriously, ridiculous and WAY BETTER than the recorded version. For real. I am first and foremost a singer, but I have more respect for Maynard's voice, Danny's insane drumming, Adams insane guitar sound and Justin's insanely creative bass. Tool forever. Go back and listen to Opiate which they had to re-release after Sober to gain the attention it deserves and Opiate, while still brilliant and one in a million was so epic because of the musicians and vocals and lyrics. Legendary. Love you BOTH so much, especially because you are TRUE music lovers open to any and EVERYTHING
10,000 Days refers to the number of days concerning his mother.. Judith Marie. This song is his love of Carl Jung's theories on our minds. Moving in and out of the shadows of our Consciousness and subconscious.
I know I'm late to comment. This tool song for me saved my life. When I got out of the Army after 10 1/2 years I was in a dark place of mind and soul. Believe it or not this song got me out of that hole.i am forever thankful to Tool and this song. Now I have a good life. Now when the demons come, I fight back with a vengeance. Definitely subscribed to this channel. Watching you guys on your Tool journey is pretty awesome to witness. "Rangers Lead the Way" NEVER give up.
A lot of this album was based on California pop new age stuff at the time, mostly condensed in the book "Nothing in This Book is True, But Its Exactly How Things Are" by Bob Frissell. 46+2, Merkabah, Third Eye stuff, almost all the 'new age' ideas on Aenema and the Salival live album that came out of that tour seem to be right out of the book. Maynard spins and gives his own interpretation on it, but its pretty clear he was reading the book or thinking about it when he wrote out some of these ideas.
Yes there are elements Pink Floyd in Tools music.. The best way to understand Tool is start at the beginning... check out “Hush”, and “Cold and Ugly” from the EP Opiate.. Spiral Out!🤘
My dudes! At some point or other, almost all Tool’s songs have been my “favorite,” but right now, at this point in my life and with everything that is going on around us with this pandemic and panic and politics, I have to say that “Descending” isn’t the song we deserve, but it is the one we need. Please give it a listen!
Mitch All Day Everyday yeah dude. Descending was created for these times. Just no one knew it. Every one should give Descending a listen in these times. It’s so much more powerful to me than it was a couple months ago. Trash Talkers @trashtalkers give Descending a go now. Record the reaction stop at the end, listen to it again, then again, and again, then go back and finish your reaction vid. Load it up next Tuesday along with the next selection and give us some Two Tools next Tuesday. My pics today would be Vicarious, Lateralis, Schism, Right in Two
The intro is a bass. It has a certain feel to it when you play it. It’s not just hammering on the fretboard. Hard to explain but that’s the best I can do
You guys are great! Ticks and leeches, possibly the heaviest Tool song. Something a little different would be Rosetta Stoned, a little goofier side of Tool talking about some guys acid trip
Do parabol and parabola. Such a deep song. Then do Lateralus. Their from the album Lateralus which is an amazing album (all tool albums are) Then do jambi and schism from 10,000 days. (In a separate comment on this post I clarified that I fucked up and that schism is from the lateralus album shit happens and I tend to forget that you can edit your comments)
For TOOL Tuesdays I'd like to suggest 'The Patient'. It's slow, heavy dirge with a lot of emotion behind the lyrics. Which describes many TOOL songs but this is one with a highly accessible meaning that we can all relate to.
I hope yalls channel blows up huge man y’all got such good energy and it’s awesome watching people enjoy tool as much as I do. Too much negativity and sadness in 2020 and y’all bring light to it!
You MUST see them live!! I've been listening since the beginning, and finally saw them live at The Gorge in George, WA on 17JUN2017. It was like hearing them for the first time all over again :)
Commenting before I watch the video, just for some fun. I've really come to enjoy you guys over the last few days of watching your videos. This song has a very special place in my heart when it comes to the Tool catalog. I am truly excited to witness the oh shit moments that will hit you during it. Enjoy it fellas, cause we enjoy you enjoying it!
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet.....but check out the "O'Keefe Foundation" version of this. Its a bunch of high school age kids that just NAIL this song. The bass player and drummer just KILL it!
Great videos guys. Keep going down the spiral of the path of Tool. Highly recommend "Aenima"would be a great next song. It would be very beneficial to listen to some of the older songs to gain a bigger perspective of where they came from to where they are now. I cant wait for the next reaction. The meaning about this song is very deep and to much for a comment. Just google 46 & 2 and human dna. Plenty of videos on youtube too. Ps. The intro is Bass guitar :)

And this band as a whole
So what r ur thoughts on parabol parobola?
All about change and evolution, choosing to embrace.
The Shadow refers to Jungian archetype, unconscious parts of us that can be dark/light, negative/positive.
Scabs are old wounds in us haven’t yet healed in our minds and souls.

I think you should do Tool - Schism next. It’s my personal favorite and has a great message and awesome performances from everyone.

"its like a new pink floyd" - pretty much exactly how my dad, 68, described this band when I introduced him to this song.
even though the withdrawal interpretation isn't the one Maynard intended it's still a really interesting way to look at this song

Tool has always been like a musical overload for me. So damn good in every aspect.
Danny actually plays to the Fibonacci Sequence which is the rhythm of all life. Mind blowing.
What would be cool would be to react to the TOOL music videos...trippy AF
Gary White plays tambourine on this one.
😂😂😂
I know I'm late, but it's not Alex Grey's artwork on this album, it's Chet Zar. And maybe there's a video online of the CD case, which makes the artwork lenticular. It's really cool to have in your hand. You guys are awesome!
You have to see them live. Mind blowing
How have I not watch this one yet. O I can't wait
If were talking tool... I'm there...good stuff here. Many layers of understanding to it
Awesome you guys found TOOL. What a gem of a band! Subscribed!
Sparking a blunt while I watch with a few buddy’s. We trash talking. Haha
Awesome! dude thank you so much for the sub. were are so excited to continue our journey into Tool and we are so happy your here for the ride.
I like the Pink Floyd comparison. Certainly different, but I agree a similar vibe, and structure.
I've said that for years it's diffi but there.
Aight, that's the fourth tool video, you guys convinced me, imma subscribe
Also, not to crowd comments too much, but I'd happily suggest either a more "ambient" track of theirs (like, Reflection), or the classic Parabol/Parabola combo (have I mentioned I'm a fan of Lateralus?) - here are some links for you guys: Parabola (both songs into one, as meant to be listened to, directly from the band's channel) th-cam.com/video/-_nQhGR0K8M/w-d-xo.html and Reflection: th-cam.com/video/4MzVuHqsNoM/w-d-xo.html
That's funny you guys mention it all started with Sober. As it did for me years and years ago and I just love and respect the band so much. Love you guys keep up the good work
It all started on 03/10/1993 with opiate for me. Sober was the first evolution in my humble opinion.
It's really nice to relive discovering Tool through you two and seeing feelings I once had played out in others..... Vicariously ironically, good job!
Loving it too. Fantastic avatar btw.
Wonderful way to start the day.
Thanks Guys 🤘🤘
A perfect circle, 1 of his other bands, lots of great songs, outsider, hour glass, the doomed, etc etc etc. Pick any
Keep rockin, u guys are smokin’ it... no pun intended Smokey.
Interesting you made the Pink Floyd comparison. When I saw them initially in 2001,my first reaction to their concert performance was “damn,they reminded me of Pink Floyd”,which I saw perform as well many years before . Their shows are something otherworldly . That’s all I can say.
he's also talking about personal growth. Obviously Maynard writes in layers...here, he's saying I'm no longer going to be fixated on my shadow: he's no longer going to overanalyze, revel in personal faults, picking scabs. He's shedding skin and focusing on the present, the moment. These themes recur in many of his lyrics about being present and not dwelling on the past.
So cool that you guys are rocking out haha
The beauty of the Tool journey is discovery. I’ve watched your videos several times over and what I enjoy the most is the honest reaction, right or wrong. I really hope no one ever crosses a line enough with negative sentiments that it feels discouraging. Tool is for everyone. Tool is the feeling mans rock band. Lbsigntoolarmy
Great job reacting to these songs I grew up with! This is probably my favorite album from them which is hard to choose but this song has been mos def my favorite TOOL song ever to this day! Ya gotta do some DEFTONES though!🤘🏻
Tool with this song refer to the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung, who talked about "The Shadow". The shadow are the negative traits of people, that we are in denial about, and project unto others. For example if I'm jealous, but ashamed about it, and thus in denial about it, I'm going to say that other people are jealous. Jung said that in order to be "whole" you have to integrate your shadow. This means you have to open your eyes, see the unhealthy patterns of your life, acknowledge them, and find the true meaning of your life. Also, Jung was all about the collective unconscious and the symbolism of numbers and archetypes in general.
Tool are so effing amazing for using this
The shadow part is referring to the psychologist Carl Jung who said that everyone had a dark side or “shadow” and that you had to integrate your shadow into your persona in order to effect great personal change
Welcome to Tool 🤘 Lateralus should be your next reaction
46 and 2 is the next door of evolution and conciseness all humanity will eventually walk through
Should follow this up with the cover by the O'Keefe Music Foundation
Dan Cornwell - exceptional cover
Those kids are incredible!
Loved the reaction!! You're the only channel I've seen reacting to Tool's 46 and 2 that grooved/danced to this song!! Amazing!!
Love you guys!! you All Rock!!!
My favourite Tool song to dance too!
🤘🏻🖤
Good honest reaction guys. If you're looking for another tool song to react to? Try Jambi from there 10000 days album. You won't be disappointed.🤘
Danny Carey is LITERALLY a mathematician.... For real. I am the Biggest Tool fan ever and have been following them since I was 13 which was a bit controversial at my age in my household, but my parents let me follow their albums so that I could have a career in singing, guitar, piano, etc. They have and ALWAYS will be my favorite and MOST INTELLIGENT AND FAVORITE BAND EVER. Got to see them live 2 times, ridiculous, seriously, ridiculous and WAY BETTER than the recorded version. For real. I am first and foremost a singer, but I have more respect for Maynard's voice, Danny's insane drumming, Adams insane guitar sound and Justin's insanely creative bass. Tool forever. Go back and listen to Opiate which they had to re-release after Sober to gain the attention it deserves and Opiate, while still brilliant and one in a million was so epic because of the musicians and vocals and lyrics. Legendary. Love you BOTH so much, especially because you are TRUE music lovers open to any and EVERYTHING
It means whatever it needs to mean for you at the time to realize yourself. ;) A literal Tool
Epic reaction guys next Tuesday Parabol/Parabola is a must got to react you guys will rock out pls:))
10,000 Days refers to the number of days concerning his mother.. Judith Marie. This song is his love of Carl Jung's theories on our minds. Moving in and out of the shadows of our Consciousness and subconscious.
I know I'm late to comment. This tool song for me saved my life. When I got out of the Army after 10 1/2 years I was in a dark place of mind and soul. Believe it or not this song got me out of that hole.i am forever thankful to Tool and this song. Now I have a good life. Now when the demons come, I fight back with a vengeance. Definitely subscribed to this channel. Watching you guys on your Tool journey is pretty awesome to witness. "Rangers Lead the Way" NEVER give up.
React to A Perfect Circle "Judith" please!
Orestes for me. Great song.
@@IronSide_Gamer Orestes is a great (and underrated) song.
Vuldo one of my all time favorite songs! Genius!
They need to understand the meaning of Judith to really appreciate it
I made the same comment about Pink Floyd when describing Tool to a mate 15 years ago.
A lot of this album was based on California pop new age stuff at the time, mostly condensed in the book "Nothing in This Book is True, But Its Exactly How Things Are" by Bob Frissell. 46+2, Merkabah, Third Eye stuff, almost all the 'new age' ideas on Aenema and the Salival live album that came out of that tour seem to be right out of the book. Maynard spins and gives his own interpretation on it, but its pretty clear he was reading the book or thinking about it when he wrote out some of these ideas.
it based on some of Carl Jung philosophy about the next step into a meta physical evolution.
Now that I’ve watched the whole video I can see how much you love them. Keep em coming. Don’t need to hold it to just Tuesdays 🙂
Yes there are elements Pink Floyd in Tools music.. The best way to understand Tool is start at the beginning... check out “Hush”, and “Cold and Ugly” from the EP Opiate.. Spiral Out!🤘
Hectic used to do a Tool tuesday. It was glorious; I look forward to yours.
My dudes! At some point or other, almost all Tool’s songs have been my “favorite,” but right now, at this point in my life and with everything that is going on around us with this pandemic and panic and politics, I have to say that “Descending” isn’t the song we deserve, but it is the one we need. Please give it a listen!
Mitch All Day Everyday yeah dude. Descending was created for these times. Just no one knew it. Every one should give Descending a listen in these times. It’s so much more powerful to me than it was a couple months ago. Trash Talkers @trashtalkers give Descending a go now. Record the reaction stop at the end, listen to it again, then again, and again, then go back and finish your reaction vid. Load it up next Tuesday along with the next selection and give us some Two Tools next Tuesday. My pics today would be Vicarious, Lateralis, Schism, Right in Two
I loved this album. A friend gave it to me for my 19th birthday. 19 years ago.
The intro is a bass. It has a certain feel to it when you play it. It’s not just hammering on the fretboard. Hard to explain but that’s the best I can do
You guys are great! Ticks and leeches, possibly the heaviest Tool song. Something a little different would be Rosetta Stoned, a little goofier side of Tool talking about some guys acid trip
Its also about Karl Yong psychological consepsion. Tool are awesome! Lyrics and music are super!
Do parabol and parabola. Such a deep song. Then do Lateralus. Their from the album Lateralus which is an amazing album (all tool albums are) Then do jambi and schism from 10,000 days. (In a separate comment on this post I clarified that I fucked up and that schism is from the lateralus album shit happens and I tend to forget that you can edit your comments)
all coming up soon, hit that subscribe button and stay tuned for more
Been subscribed y'all should do some deftones reviews to yo.
Schism is off the Lateralus album
Yes I clarified that in my other comment on this post.
YEP💯💯💯🔥🔥👀👀👀
For TOOL Tuesdays I'd like to suggest 'The Patient'. It's slow, heavy dirge with a lot of emotion behind the lyrics. Which describes many TOOL songs but this is one with a highly accessible meaning that we can all relate to.
@@scottbugalla5225 I don't want to get too get too personal but it's been my mantra during some rather tough times.
bro you look so good with glasses. Sport that look more often ! cheers mate !!
Thanks! Will do! Please hit that subscribe button bro and join us on our journey into Tool.
Jambi - Tool
Vicarious - Tool
Also... all Tool
Tool has been in my top 5 of all time Favorite band. Been listening to them since I 12 years old and I am 41 now.
I hope yalls channel blows up huge man y’all got such good energy and it’s awesome watching people enjoy tool as much as I do. Too much negativity and sadness in 2020 and y’all bring light to it!
Tool always takes you on a vibrational roller coaster ride through the cosmos ♡♡♡
You two are amazing! Thank you giving praise to all music! Can you do a “First time Listen” to “ National Anthem” by Radiohead?
You MUST see them live!! I've been listening since the beginning, and finally saw them live at The Gorge in George, WA on 17JUN2017. It was like hearing them for the first time all over again :)
You both would really like Ticks & Leeches, awesome mix of that slower, resonate stuff you said you liked in other videos and some harder jams.
also Danny Carey goes absolutely bonkers on this song
Commenting before I watch the video, just for some fun. I've really come to enjoy you guys over the last few days of watching your videos. This song has a very special place in my heart when it comes to the Tool catalog. I am truly excited to witness the oh shit moments that will hit you during it. Enjoy it fellas, cause we enjoy you enjoying it!
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet.....but check out the "O'Keefe Foundation" version of this. Its a bunch of high school age kids that just NAIL this song. The bass player and drummer just KILL it!
Awesome stuff guys! Keep it up. Wish it was Tuesday every day lol. Cheers!
Ya'll got a good vibe. Subbed.
The Grudge!! You guys will not regret
Welcome to tool!! Lead singer Maynard has angelic voice and his lyrics are always lit...46 and 2 is deep look up the lyrics yo maynard don't play!!😎
Great videos guys. Keep going down the spiral of the path of Tool. Highly recommend "Aenima"would be a great next song. It would be very beneficial to listen to some of the older songs to gain a bigger perspective of where they came from to where they are now. I cant wait for the next reaction.
The meaning about this song is very deep and to much for a comment. Just google 46 & 2 and human dna. Plenty of videos on youtube too.
Ps. The intro is Bass guitar :)
I got to watch them live in Sacramento and it was one of the best concerts ive ever been to and ive been to a lot.
I love to see people find new music..
Love this channel
