I love the fact Tool is your #1 and you haven’t listened to their most transcendent song, IMO. “The Grudge” is that song. Check it out. Makes me happy people love this band as much as I do. HOLD ON BRUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Interesting choice! I always considered Pushit to be their transitional track to how they sound now. The song was such an opus... I put it next to The End by the Doors or 2112 (side 1) by Rush. But more so, Pushit was the first track to REALLY take its time to build in a way that became the template for their later music.
The Salival version of Pushit is where he should go next. He's already done a react to the original version and I think the Salival version will break his brain. In a good way!
That's the best part of the song.... "I could have cried then, I should have cried then"... This is the song I've always played anyone the first time I show them tool to show them thry don't know what tool is
I have covered this song, vocals, and I have to fight desperately not to choke up. But when "I dont mind" I belt it as if it was my last breath. Sober is a piece of cake, 46&2 is challenging, but this evokes emotions and definitely complicates my ability to break through.
I still remember the day I first listen to the AEnima album, my favorite of theirs.... I had heard sober years before, but never really sat down and listen to them... And when I heard this album, I had a feeling, with all the sureity of a dream, that Tool was what I had always been looking for.... Like despite never hearing the before it was familiar, like recalling a repressed memory from a past life for the first time.... I've listened to so much tool on various psychadelics
Turned my son into Tool fan early. Hes 23 plays drums... very well. Says " The Grudge" is the best rock tune ever written. Ive heard it a million times still love it. My kids used to count- one mississipi, two mississipi during the scream, its 23 mississippis if you are curious
Imagine discovering the greatness of TOOL when you’re 13 like I did. I think I wore a TOOL T-shirt to school every day. Didn’t help with the ladies though.
I discovered the greatness of Tool sitting High AF in a dingy flat/apartment when I was about 17/18yo. It was Reflections that I remember playing (although the whole album had been on). It was the line "Before I pine away......" it was so haunting. I wish i could relive that experiance, but it made me a lifelong Tool fan, so there is that.
@@johntyson Hellz Yesss! 🔧 Add me on fb if you want to, that is, I love having Tool fans as friends on there, we're a special bunch 🔧.. Rhiannon Lee James My Profile Pic on there is the same as my display pic on here
OMG, I would've LOVED seeing a guy in a TOOL shirt at school every day! 😍😍😍🔧🔧🔧👕👕👕(well, actually it would've had to have been after school, bc we have to wear a School Uniform at every Stage of Schooling, no matter what type of school we went to)..
Because the band is full of genius, each musician does their part masterfully, they have to play long complicated songs with crazy accuracy to make it work. It's all perfect
People are too jaded and stuck in their own perceptions to take it in. Like me when I first listened to Fear Innoculum, I was too unwilling to accept change. When I opened myself up though I started to understand that it really is a masterpiece.
H. Is Maynard’s young son, the song is about the conflict inside Maynard, between his abusive past and the love he feels for his son. The snake is his hidden anger boiling up at times, while the love of his son and Maynard’s need to protect him from that anger, eventually frees Maynard from that angry inner self. That is the Killing me line, and why he doesn’t mind that part of him dying. It’s a beautiful song, and one of my favorites off the Aenima album. Great reaction Preston!!
I read somewhere that Maynard is a huge fan of CS Lewis. H. Is the initial of CS’ wife who passed, and the song is about how angry with God CS was with his wife’s passing. It’s a angel on your shoulder telling you (him) to deal with the passing in a loving, spiritual way. The demon on his other shoulder is telling him to be angry with God and blame him. It’s an inner struggle. Could be wrong, but that’s the genius with maynards lyrics and song meanings. We discuss and ultimately come to the conclusion, and sometimes we’re way off. But if you think that deeply about the meaning without being told, his job was well done. Beautiful song regardless of the actual meaning.
H is about his son...fatherhood changing him, killing his old self. The snake is his past and bad experiences he had with his own father. He is haunted by those bad experiences and is afraid of passing it on to his son, Devo H Keenan. “As I look in his eyes (his son), my fear begins to fade. Recalling all of those times I have died. But I don’t mind”.
Good point. "My blood before me begs me.." Now I know he is talking about his son there too. Had no idea this song was about his son. Thanks for the info!
Beginning of the song as well “what’s coming thru is alive...what’s holding up is a mirror” coming thru the birth canal and of course as a father kids have a way of making you reflect especially in this case being a boy...love this song
I watch all of your tool reactions in succession as they come and its awesome to see how with each one you're blown away a little more than the last!! The reaction gods are pleased with Preston... THEY'RE PLEASED WITH PRESTON!!!!
FUUUUUUUCK YAAAAAA! Even if it is the 103rd time I have heard a Tool song it is like the first, bringing all those emotions up and goosebumps and all. Now to get to see someone expiriencing them simultaneously is powerful! Thanks Preeeeeestoooon! Maynard for President!!!
My maaaan. Thank you for putting the lyric vid on this one. Amazing song and lyrics. Gave me chills. Love Tool. Grudge Ticks and leeches Swamp Song The Patient ..ly awaiting your reaction. ;)
You absolutely MUST listen to Disposition/Reflection/Triad. Those 3 tracks, in that order, all at once. They all tie together. I promise you that your mind will be blown. I've been a Tool fan since '93 and they are, hands down, my favorite band of all time. Love your reactions to Tool! It's like discovering the band all over again.
Your out-of- body experience is exactly it at a Tool concert. I saw them twice. The first time was right after Aenema came out and it was in an oversold concert venue called the Warehouse in Toronto. As soon as they started the crowd moved like a wave and I was picked up off my feet by the motion and easily travelled ten feet. The visuals, the energy, Maynard himself - at the time painted half-white, half-blue... His vocals are the same live. Incredible shows.
Two things: 1. It's time to listen to The Grudge. 2. You won't be able to use your phone at their concert. They are notorious for their security at their concerts telling people to turn their phones off. Caught a second time, they kick you out. Seen it happen at both shows I attended.
funny you should mention having an out of body experience... when Lateralus first came out, i listened to it high and outside, looking up at the night sky.... i honestly felt myself being lifted up towards the stars, like i could see the whole town around me, underneath.... LOL !!! .... TooL ARE a mind-altering drug, all on their own.... congratulations for finding them !
"PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE" "PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE" Dude I love watching you react to Tool. The song (H) particularly has always been a stand out favorite to me, and means so much more after the birth of my son that it brings me to tears of joy. It's amazing how a great song can transcend time and take on new meanings to the listener in the different seasons of your life.
Hold on bruh!!!!! Don't forget ticks and leeches and the grudge. Also waiting for some more deftones like rocket skates, tempest, rosemary you've seen the butcher, love the channel watch you as much as espn lol
Mine too! I love love love everything Maynard James Keenan!!! Tool is my all time favorite band and they got me through some hard times in High School, and yes... their concert was a Spiritual Experience for me. I saw them at Oz Fest ‘98. The audience in the lawn at Deer Creek Music Center set the lawn on fire 🔥. They had 3 huge fires going and people were dancing, running and moshing in circles around it.There was a dust cloud from ripping up turf and throwing it around between the lawn and pavilion. Security gave up trying to stop it. They stood on the roof of the pavilion and watched. The whole experience was just amazing. It was like we were celebrating the end of something imprisoning us. We were free!
I have three sons, I have taken them all to their fist concerts over the years, at the age of 12. All 3 boys can now say that TOOL was their very first concert. I've been lucky enough to see them live 9 times. It's an experience.
Happy for you man. This band is transcendental. And ‘h’ is among my favorites because of the bridge [the quiet middle part]. I could also listen to that on repeat haha, and have been since it came out. All the percussion in the back still gives me goosebumps 22 years later. What town you in? They should be touring next year...
Absolutely love your love for Tool. They've been my number one my god from day one. You will have that outer body experience when you see them. Their screens and light show are amazing and they stay fairly calm and rock it while you enjoy the show!
A perfect circle {three songs} 1-the outsider (jay leno performance) 2 - Weak and powerless (Jimmy Kimmel performance) 3- three libras (lyric video)....I dig your videos and converted you to a Metal/ Rock head. Keep on rocking 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
This takes me back about 20 years. I still remember the 1st time I listened to this. I was already a tool fan, but this song hit me like a ton of bricks and still does.
This is the first Tool song I ever heard when I was a kid and I remember just being like “Whoa what IS this??” There’s *something* about this band-Their music somehow sounds ethereal, sad, sexy, angry and chill all at the same time. Then add to it the singer’s phrasing is so unique (not to mention his haunting voice) and the guitarist and drummer have this strange off-beat timing going on and it just fucks up all my senses. I forgot how much I love this band!
Took has been my favorite band since I first found them. It just took one listen and I went to the record store buying all their albums and jamming those in the car everyday! Amazing band!
I'm 31 now. I got lucky and hooked on Tool around 14. Changed my entire way of thinking going forward in life. Never stopped effecting my mind. I love Tool
I’ve been into Tool from the very time I heard “Sober” in 93 til present day…I’ve been lucky enough to see them live 4 times over the years,the 1st show I went to with Tool was at the MCI center in DC on the Lateralus tour….there have been times in my life where Tool has seemed downright Godly 🤷🏼♂️🖤🥶
It’s VISUAL JOY watching King KTF discover and absolutely love Tool. As many have stated before me, Tool changed me and brought a deeper connection with the music and lyrical content. I literally listen to Tool weekly at a minimum, often daily. When I saw them at Bonnaroo Music Fest my life was completed.
One of my all time favorites..have it tattooed on me. Have seen them live 4 times... 1st time I was 19, when Ænima came out... CHANGED MY LIFE!! #toolarmy 💗
Dude, I feel you. I had a friend introduce me to Tool back in 2001 when I was a junior in high school. Literally I had my discman in my pocket playing Tool all day long. Study hall, gym class, didn't matter. Got to see them live in 2002 on the Lateralus tour. Life changing, man.
I found myself watching your videos for hours last night. As a busy father of three, I nearly forgot how I felt the first time I heard this group. They meant a lot to me back in high school. I was fortunate to see them live in Seattle 17 years ago, almost a week after I first stumbled across Aenima at a record store. I hope you get to see them in concert too. It’s an unforgettable experience.
Tool is a great band! One of the GOATS! They came out when I was in middle school. I have been listening to them since the 90s. Timeless, relatable music. I love how unique the riffs are too! Fire.
I've only been to a handful of live shows for big bands and Tool put on by far the best concert I have EVER been to. The music alone is great, but the stage performance they put on is out of this world.
Welcome to the mind of Tool. I'm 47 years old, have seen them 4 times and listen to them every day... and I still get chills. I also like the fact that you compare them to my favorite band Pink Floyd.
I've been to countless concerts and TOOL by FAR puts on the best live show - the visual effects are mind blowing, and Maynard is so intense. Definitely the greatest performance I've ever witnessed, hands down!
From a live video, Maynard explains that this song is about, "a devil on one shoulder and an angel on another" or a friend who offers advice to you, with your best interests in mind, but doesn't know what's best for you.
The part you loved...the "pretty part"....yes it's amazing how they are so detailed in this melody. It gave me chills the first time I heard it! Preston, I absolutely adore your Tool Reaction videos!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Your Tool final shall be 'Third Eye'. I suggest listening to it in the dark. In my mythos, the patient patient in 'The Patient' pantientce pays off and 'Third Eye' is the treatment. Infinity lies beyond. Third Eye is the beginning and end.
Really enjoyed watching this video as a Tool fan of 20 years. I'm with you, one my my all-time favorite sections in any of their songs is at 5:42 in your video, gives me chills every damn time. Thanks for the great vid, awesome to see so many people brought together by good music. Much love from California.
Dude! I've been to 4 Tool and 1 Perfect Circle Concerts in my life. You're absolutely fucking right you're gonna have an out of body experience. I would have a beer or 3 at the concert. Sit back and enjoy. The Perfect Circle concert was in New Mexico in 2001 at a 2500 person Community college auditorium. They had only been a band for 16 months, it was epic and I was 10 feet from Maynard and the show opened the door for a new type of music for everyone. Thanks Maynard!
I love your appreciation for Tool and music. Let's be bff's! This song is absolutely beautiful. By far one of my favorites. Totally agree Tool is their own. This song always gives me goose bumps! I am glad I could share it with you.
I've watched all your Tool reaction videos. What I appreciate the most is .... I KNOW what's coming in the songs....what musical change is coming.....and watching a genuine reaction to that is a pure joy.
Olly Hudson agreed. Focus on the experience, turn your phone off, soak it all in. After the show, gather your thoughts, and then you can share them with us! We’ll be here waiting.
I think my favorite part about watching Tool reaction videos is seeing someones reactions to special moments of these songs I've heard time and time again and having it totally resurrect the song for me again. His reaction @5:40 is a perfect example of this.
From someone who has been following tool since the mid-90s... Watching you enjoy one of my favorite Tool songs for the first time, was so incredibly enjoyable! I was just beaming with every moment you were having! I loved this. ❤️
I love the fact Tool is your #1 and you haven’t listened to their most transcendent song, IMO. “The Grudge” is that song. Check it out. Makes me happy people love this band as much as I do. HOLD ON BRUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Interesting choice!
I always considered Pushit to be their transitional track to how they sound now. The song was such an opus... I put it next to The End by the Doors or 2112 (side 1) by Rush. But more so, Pushit was the first track to REALLY take its time to build in a way that became the template for their later music.
The Grudge, Pushit, Third Eye, Lateralus is Tools holy grail imo. Also Rosetta Stoned.
Pushit is my favorite song, but “The Grudge” transcends all music in an 8 minute track. Honestly, hell, all of their stuff is transcendent!
Dude I've said it before but I totally agree. The Grudge please...
The Salival version of Pushit is where he should go next. He's already done a react to the original version and I think the Salival version will break his brain. In a good way!
This song still makes me cry every time I hear it. It is incredible how it impacts you especially starting at "And as the snake has drowned..."
Strong facts
That's the best part of the song.... "I could have cried then, I should have cried then"... This is the song I've always played anyone the first time I show them tool to show them thry don't know what tool is
I have covered this song, vocals, and I have to fight desperately not to choke up. But when "I dont mind" I belt it as if it was my last breath. Sober is a piece of cake, 46&2 is challenging, but this evokes emotions and definitely complicates my ability to break through.
me too I think I listened to that part for like a thousand time
Facts
I wish I could hear tool for the first time again 😔
For real
Take enough Syd and you will.
I still remember the day I first listen to the AEnima album, my favorite of theirs.... I had heard sober years before, but never really sat down and listen to them... And when I heard this album, I had a feeling, with all the sureity of a dream, that Tool was what I had always been looking for.... Like despite never hearing the before it was familiar, like recalling a repressed memory from a past life for the first time.... I've listened to so much tool on various psychadelics
Adam Jones can make that Les Paul sound so clean and So dirty.. He's a master of his art.
Excellent description
The Grudge!
Yeeeah broooo!!!!
Of course, it's the best of TOOL
pleaaaaaaaaase
Turned my son into Tool fan early. Hes 23 plays drums... very well. Says " The Grudge" is the best rock tune ever written. Ive heard it a million times still love it. My kids used to count- one mississipi, two mississipi during the scream, its 23 mississippis if you are curious
WEAR THE GRUDGE LIKE A CROWN

The way Maynard says "storm" gives me chills every time. Same as when he says "Consume you" in The Grudge. The guy's voice is magical
Why don’t people understand that Maynard is a literal genius.
Because the band is full of genius, each musician does their part masterfully, they have to play long complicated songs with crazy accuracy to make it work. It's all perfect
We do! Lol
People are too jaded and stuck in their own perceptions to take it in. Like me when I first listened to Fear Innoculum, I was too unwilling to accept change. When I opened myself up though I started to understand that it really is a masterpiece.

Yep Devo H. Keenan...his middle name is just H. He got it from how people say Jesus H. Christ but never know what the H. stands for
H is 8 is occult number of karma. Yes hes experiencing karma from his past in trying to build a future.
As above so below
H is about his son...fatherhood changing him, killing his old self. The snake is his past and bad experiences he had with his own father. He is haunted by those bad experiences and is afraid of passing it on to his son, Devo H Keenan.
“As I look in his eyes (his son), my fear begins to fade. Recalling all of those times I have died. But I don’t mind”.
Good point. "My blood before me begs me.." Now I know he is talking about his son there too. Had no idea this song was about his son. Thanks for the info!
His son Devo has said if there is another Tool album after this new one he will probably play Cello on that album
Beginning of the song as well “what’s coming thru is alive...what’s holding up is a mirror” coming thru the birth canal and of course as a father kids have a way of making you reflect especially in this case being a boy...love this song
I am too connected too slip away fade away days away i still feel you touching me,changing me......
I still interpret this song completely differently.
The "HOLD ON BRO" part at 4:32 is everything
And yes... you WILL have an out of body experience IF/WHEN you see TOOL live!
Tool - The patient
Underrated song.
OMG dude that song is the bomb
I think he'll love this one especially
PRESTON DO IT! this yo type a song
Eon Blue apocalypse + The patient
Tool the Grudge !!!
With lyrics please!
God damn it’s so much fun watching you react to Tool. Especially when you get goosebumps in the same places I do.
I have loved every minute of Preston falling in love with all my favorite songs. I still watch daily years later. Miss seeing you so much Preston!
4:19 i knew a "HOOOOOLLLLDDDD OOOONNN BBBRRUUUUUHH" was coming, lol, i could sense it!
They are super good at making melodic choices that convey emotions
I watch all of your tool reactions in succession as they come and its awesome to see how with each one you're blown away a little more than the last!!
The reaction gods are pleased with Preston...
THEY'RE PLEASED WITH PRESTON!!!!
Indeed, they are very pleased with Preston!
It's ya boys, the gods, and indeed we are pleased with ya boy PRESSSTONNN
This.
The Tool gods are pleased with Tool!!!! Hilarious bro. Yea man, that was me listening to Tool in high school. Great times

Vans? 501? Beastie Tee? Nipple rings? New tattoos?
The holy trinity
I was turned on to Tool mid 90s, so glad the see other people become Tooled. Great band
How many "HOLD ON BRUUUH"'s is Third Eye going to get eventually? I'm betting on at least 3.
lmao hell yeah brother
Tool "Lost Keys" and "Rosetta Stoned" together.
IS RITE LAD
FUCK YES
Sí señor!!!
That, "Hold on, BRUH", happen more than once! We know the rewinds will be more than once! Hahaha!
Yes. If Preston sees this, please do this. The best combo on 10,000.
KTF IS BLOWING UP! Best react Channel for sure, much respect man.
You should react to him reacting. Oh wait, you kind of just did...
Your out-of- body experience is exactly it at a Tool concert. I saw them twice. The first time was right after Aenema came out and it was in an oversold concert venue called the Warehouse in Toronto.
As soon as they started the crowd moved like a wave and I was picked up off my feet by the motion and easily travelled ten feet. The visuals, the energy, Maynard himself - at the time painted half-white, half-blue... His vocals are the same live. Incredible shows.
I like to think that we discover and find out about bands/groups when we are meant to. You were meant to discover Tool at this point in your life.
Two things:
1. It's time to listen to The Grudge.
2. You won't be able to use your phone at their concert. They are notorious for their security at their concerts telling people to turn their phones off. Caught a second time, they kick you out. Seen it happen at both shows I attended.
Dude you got to do The Grudge been waiting for years for you to do it
He has heard it..I watched him be blown away by it..he dug it
tool and a perfect circle are soooo good so glad people nowadays are still listening for the first time. so old but better then anything out today.
Leagues better
People reacting to Sober Live, and H.. It just gives me this feeling, a feeling of greatness.
“Stinkfist” homie! One of Tool’s best. Everyone one is right though, check out “the grudge” as well
I think he's already done Stinkfist, but he may have pulled the video.
Stinkfist is awesome because all the different meanings you can make it have
funny you should mention having an out of body experience... when Lateralus first came out, i listened to it high and outside, looking up at the night sky.... i honestly felt myself being lifted up towards the stars, like i could see the whole town around me, underneath.... LOL !!! .... TooL ARE a mind-altering drug, all on their own.... congratulations for finding them !

"Before football games, driving to school, going home" All through the 90s! Getting high and listening to them was the best.
Hold on bruh!!!!! Don't forget ticks and leeches and the grudge. Also waiting for some more deftones like rocket skates, tempest, rosemary you've seen the butcher, love the channel watch you as much as espn lol
Yes for the Grudge!!!
Tool and Deftones are 2 best. He would like their mellow stuff like Rosemary, Sextape, Digital Bath, Xerxes, most of Saturday Night Wrist probably.
Thumbs up for Tempest
The patient, then the grudge. You’re on your way Preston.
Mine too! I love love love everything Maynard James Keenan!!!

Agreed! Would love to see a whole album reaction.

Absolutely love your love for Tool. They've been my number one my god from day one. You will have that outer body experience when you see them. Their screens and light show are amazing and they stay fairly calm and rock it while you enjoy the show!

Over the course of watching you discover Tool, you have gone from being "Who dis?" to "My Boy, Preston!"
Keep up the good work. :)
It's like I'm reliving Tool for the first time again vicariously through you. Love your videos, keep 'em comin'!
It’s VISUAL JOY watching King KTF discover and absolutely love Tool. As many have stated before me, Tool changed me and brought a deeper connection with the music and lyrical content. I literally listen to Tool weekly at a minimum, often daily. When I saw them at Bonnaroo Music Fest my life was completed.
King: “Imma take it back”
Me: *“I don’t mind. I don’t mind
I DONT MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND”*
One of my all time favorites..have it tattooed on me. Have seen them live 4 times... 1st time I was 19, when Ænima came out... CHANGED MY LIFE!! #toolarmy 💗
The respect you give tool is awesome. I call tool real music everything else is just noise. Lol
I finally saw them after 20+ years listening and loving their music. Amazing.
"It makes you feel what they feel". Been my favourite band for 15 years and that sums them up perfectly haha. Never thought of it that way.
Tool - The Grudge
Metallica - My Friend Of Misery
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death
System Of A Down - Dreaming
Jinjer - Pisces Live Session
Dude, I feel you. I had a friend introduce me to Tool back in 2001 when I was a junior in high school. Literally I had my discman in my pocket playing Tool all day long. Study hall, gym class, didn't matter. Got to see them live in 2002 on the Lateralus tour. Life changing, man.
I found myself watching your videos for hours last night. As a busy father of three, I nearly forgot how I felt the first time I heard this group. They meant a lot to me back in high school. I was fortunate to see them live in Seattle 17 years ago, almost a week after I first stumbled across Aenima at a record store. I hope you get to see them in concert too. It’s an unforgettable experience.
A Perfect Circle - The Outsider ! !
"That shit is pretty bro!" this dudes hillarious lol. Yeah most of Tools songs are pretty. Disturbing...but pretty. Who wouldn't love em?
Tool is a great band! One of the GOATS! They came out when I was in middle school. I have been listening to them since the 90s. Timeless, relatable music. I love how unique the riffs are too! Fire.
I've only been to a handful of live shows for big bands and Tool put on by far the best concert I have EVER been to. The music alone is great, but the stage performance they put on is out of this world.
Tool has always been great and different, words have meaning, if people take the time to listen
Tool - No Quarter is great, I bet you'd love it
Welcome to the mind of Tool. I'm 47 years old, have seen them 4 times and listen to them every day... and I still get chills. I also like the fact that you compare them to my favorite band Pink Floyd.
I've been to countless concerts and TOOL by FAR puts on the best live show - the visual effects are mind blowing, and Maynard is so intense. Definitely the greatest performance I've ever witnessed, hands down!
Tool - The Grudge
3rd Eye
From a live video, Maynard explains that this song is about, "a devil on one shoulder and an angel on another" or a friend who offers advice to you, with your best interests in mind, but doesn't know what's best for you.
TOOL is timeless, ive been listening to them for many years and still has the same effect on me, every song is a journey.
Been waiting for this one!!
LIVE VERSION OF SOBER
This is my favorite Tool song and that quiet guitar part you kept rewinding is my single favorite moment in any Tool song. It really is beautiful.
The part you loved...the "pretty part"....yes it's amazing how they are so detailed in this melody. It gave me chills the first time I heard it! Preston, I absolutely adore your Tool Reaction videos!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Deftones My Own Summer
Your Tool final shall be 'Third Eye'. I suggest listening to it in the dark.
In my mythos, the patient patient in 'The Patient' pantientce pays off and 'Third Eye' is the treatment. Infinity lies beyond. Third Eye is the beginning and end.
One of many of my favorite tool songs.
Really enjoyed watching this video as a Tool fan of 20 years. I'm with you, one my my all-time favorite sections in any of their songs is at 5:42 in your video, gives me chills every damn time.
Thanks for the great vid, awesome to see so many people brought together by good music. Much love from California.
Nice! Love seeing you dig Tool. Hit some more Perfect Circle, three libras is awesome.
Yeah, 3 Libras should definitely be his next APC song.
Airiak Drakkhen I suggested this one too! One of my favorite perfect circle songs easily
Yes
Type O Negative - Wolf Moon
Type O definately it is October after all! Perfect for the season.
Dude! I've been to 4 Tool and 1 Perfect Circle Concerts in my life. You're absolutely fucking right you're gonna have an out of body experience. I would have a beer or 3 at the concert. Sit back and enjoy. The Perfect Circle concert was in New Mexico in 2001 at a 2500 person Community college auditorium. They had only been a band for 16 months, it was epic and I was 10 feet from Maynard and the show opened the door for a new type of music for everyone. Thanks Maynard!
I'm 42 and been a fan since 93' 7ooL gives me goosebumps still.
The Grudge!!! I can already hear the Multiple HOLD ON BRUUUUUUHHHHHHHS!!
He has heard it...I watched him be blown away by it..was cool
Dog Eat Dog - Who’s The King
Dog Eat Dog - Step Right In
I love your appreciation for Tool and music. Let's be bff's! This song is absolutely beautiful. By far one of my favorites. Totally agree Tool is their own. This song always gives me goose bumps! I am glad I could share it with you.
Seeing them live is perfection. Live is done with the same perfection as the recording. Meticulously perfect!!
It is time for...”The Grudge.”
Pantera - Floods (Dimebag's best solo) 🔥🔥🔥
My local radio station loves Tool so I get to hear this one almost everyday. And it's always welcome lol
I've watched all your Tool reaction videos. What I appreciate the most is .... I KNOW what's coming in the songs....what musical change is coming.....and watching a genuine reaction to that is a pure joy.
The grudge Tool!
P.s. Try not too record Tool when you see them LIVE.....just go there to enjoy them otherwise you won’t get that outer body experience.
Olly Hudson agreed. Focus on the experience, turn your phone off, soak it all in. After the show, gather your thoughts, and then you can share them with us! We’ll be here waiting.
Maynard also hates seeing people record with their phones lol
"outer body experience" lmao
Maynard's the Chosenone☝
Ask him.
They dont even allow phones at their concerts
I think my favorite part about watching Tool reaction videos is seeing someones reactions to special moments of these songs I've heard time and time again and having it totally resurrect the song for me again. His reaction @5:40 is a perfect example of this.
From someone who has been following tool since the mid-90s... Watching you enjoy one of my favorite Tool songs for the first time, was so incredibly enjoyable! I was just beaming with every moment you were having! I loved this. ❤️
