I had a cd, wish I still did, it was some kind of radio promo version of the album with only a few tracks. This was on there and was also labelled "Track #1." Bet that thing is worth a bunch of money now.
the meaning of Stinkfist by Tool: In one way or another, it's about desensitization. It uses the sexual act of “fisting” as a metaphor, “turn around and take my hand”… “finger/elbow/shoulder deep in the borderline”… “this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to”. So to answer your question, no your dirty mind wasn’t playing tricks on you!! 🤭
Oh my favorite track! Definitely a double meaning on this one “turn around and take my hand” lol. Love the dark and dramatic tones. Adam their guitar player is the video mastermind. He use to work on movies like Alien for example.
Your personality makes these reactions great. As for the meanings of the lyrics, I think it means whatever you need it to, at the time you are listening.
I vaguely remember an interview with Maynard James Keenan back when this came out. He related the music of Tool in general to the sexual act of fisting. He said something like, "That if you just relax... listen... and give in.... then I think you will really enjoy yourself".
I remember my mom HATING it when I'd play this song. "Borderline of WHAT!" Was also her initial reaction. It is what you're thinking, but he was using it metaphorically
The idea for the video and art is from the band's guitarist, Adam Jones. Before playing tool he worked doing special effects in movies like "alien" and "terminator". The idea of the lyrics is about unsatisfied desire and constant searching. Lack, desire, topics addressed in depth by Lacan.
All I can say is bravo. You perfectly understand both the surface level metaphor of the sex act but also the deeper metaphor of over stimulation numbing of our culture. And this came out in the 90s. I'm glad that these songs are timeless enough to carry that message
Yep being desensitized and as a result people will tend to push the boundaries in order to feel because it's "not enough" and his wants transcended into a need like a luxury turning into a necessity (to breathe/feel/know I'm alive) as the chorus suggests. Great reaction, laughed out loud with the "Borderline of what?" So funny! 😂
Yeah, you got it. It's about being so desensitised to everything that you feel the need to go more and more extreme just to feel anything at all. It's a metaphor but quite a... let's say... a strong metaphor, haha I knew this was going to be an interesting reaction, haha. And now I have a morbid curiosity about what smut books you're listening to...
Tool - The Grudge. This song is a opener song from their album "Lateralus". For me is the best opening song from their albums. Great reaction as always Biss😉😉
Hello Bisscute. I would definitely recommend Tool’s song AEnima which is the name of the album this song is on. There is a clean version here as well as a lyric unrated version too.
Maynard is talking about the various stages of "fisting" (hence, the moniker: "Stinkfist") but it's merely to serve as a very powerful, very graphic, metaphor to show what is happening to us as we engage in constant overstimulation. You got the meaning; you just got confused because the dialectical imagery was to mostly serve as a metaphor. Well, done! 👍👍
The first few times I heard this tune, it was mostly on while I was doing something else and not listening to the lyrics. One night I was laying on my bed, stereo cranked just playing this album. This song came on and about 1/3 of the way through it started dawning on me what it was about. I sat up. Re-started the song and was like WTF?! 😆
I love your reactions. I have been a subscriber for some time now. Yes it means just exactly what you think it means. You are such a sweetie. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a bit of a dirty mind it's in all of us.❤
the official music videos are usually always Adam Jones' (guitarist) concepts and work, he was a special effects artist with work in several movies when Tool took off
Lovely reaction, Biss. I appreciate you coming back to TOOL. The lyrics definitely have a sexual nature to them, but in a metaphorical way to illustrate how many people become jaded and numb throughout life. They will then thrill seek in various ways to "feel alive." Holding on to curiosity and wonderment as you get on in life is a noble goal that will imbue some splendor and joy. "The world is awful and everybody sucks." is the mantra of the old man yelling at kids to stay off his lawn. My view anyway. 🤙
😊great reaction 👏👏😊 .. its almost the end of Native American Heritage Month … perhaps a reaction to “ Stand Up / Stand N Rock “ in respect to the red man 😊
A TH-camr named William Maranci made a mashup of this and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and it totally slaps - and I’m saying that as metal head who never listens to Taylor Swift’s music.
I appreciate this song very much :). LOL its not dirty minded. The name of the song is Stinkfist. Needing more, desensitized to everything... Sitnkfist as his metaphor, what became of subtlety?
Thanks again Biss for introducing me to another new band [Im just wondering what rock i have just crawled from under?] To be honest it was ok the video was dark but put together well I'm just not to sure about this song. Again i probably need to listen to something else by them before passing any judgment.Great reaction from you as always♥
Hey, Bisscute, check this out. I'm kinda fan of a Tool, and recently again sucked into Stinkfist. Especially in climax and guitar riff. And usually i go and see on TH-cam how people react on a song i like. Imagine my surprise, when i saw your new video! Nice timing) I'm not a subscriber, but saw other your Tool video. You are great!
Hi Biss. Great reaction! Well, you're not wrong. The "dirty" meaning is there, as confirmed by Maynard himself when, during a live concert he described the song as being "about one person sticking his fist up the a** of another person." th-cam.com/video/_Vm59i-tgWs/w-d-xo.html That being said, as you noted, Tool has meaning upon meaning. Your other interpretation is correct as well. It is about overstimulation. It's also about the search for meaning (as mentioned in the video I linked). It's just Tool being Tool. Can't wait for the next one! P.s. Adam Jones, the guitarist, does all their videos.
My favorite Tool's song. I think some lyrics of the song are inspired by the sexual practice of Fistf*ck. In a metaphorical Way. The video was directed by Adam Jones, the Tool's guitar player. That is where the ideas come from. Great reaction as always.
Hey beautiful Biss hope you are having a great Saturday my friend ur a total riot girl i dont wanna know what theyre "whole body deep within the borderline of someone" that jus dont sound right lolz anyways TOOL is an iconic old school band love ur reaction. Idk if u know this band but u should check out NightWish theyre a goth symphonic metal band from Finland some of their best songs are The Islander Élan LanternLight Wish I Had An Angel Nemo Bye Bye Beautiful Amaranthe Turn Loose The Mermaids Rest Calm i think youll love them Biss 💙💗🖤
Yeah. Tool always had some creepy ass videos back in the day. Nine Inch Nails too. I guess it was a thing back then, but even though that was my own generation, I was more into older music before my own time, so when I would see this kind of stuff then, I probably just didn't get it so much.
Fun fact - this song predates social media by about 5 years. They saw the signs. Edit: Also "who comes up with the ideas for these videos?" - Adam Jones, their guitarist. He directed pretty much all of them. And because I dont think anyone else straight up came out and said it - yes, your instincts are correct. "Stinkfist" - the borderline is the butthole. It's sex as a metaphor for becoming desensitized, so he needs to get more and more extreme.
It's all a product of our three second attention spans, everything needs to be overstimulated because we're being more and more desensitized. Great reaction as always, Rock On.
7:24 Sorry, this might come across wrong, but I'm happy I don't have to answer that question in RL with you looking at me like that - I would be cracking up - You might even say I would be laughing me ass off - If you'll allow the pun :)
I do wish you would do a reaction video for a one hit wonder, that allot of people already heard but never knew the name of the song. The band name is Bloodhound Gang, and the songs name is Bad Touch... The naughty version is just a hair better.
That "borderline of what"? Had me cracking 😂😂 but I think we were all thinking the same thing.
💪🏽
Mexico... Definitely 😁
Ask Maynard James Keenan, ‘What are your priorities?’
Same! That look she gave us! Hilarious!
@@RobKernKnowsNot And with the accent 😄
I remember when MTV used to play this video they called it "Track #1" instead of "Stinkfist."
Totally forgot about this lol!
I had a cd, wish I still did, it was some kind of radio promo version of the album with only a few tracks. This was on there and was also labelled "Track #1."
Bet that thing is worth a bunch of money now.
Yep lol 😂
He's obviously singing about puppetry! 😅
"first fingers... then knuckles ... now elbow deep" 🤣🤣🤣 It's all those smutty books you read 😂❤
¡¡¡¿¿¿Borderline of WHAT?????!!!! 😐😑😐... AJAJAJAJ!!
the meaning of Stinkfist by Tool:
In one way or another, it's about desensitization. It uses the sexual act of “fisting” as a metaphor, “turn around and take my hand”… “finger/elbow/shoulder deep in the borderline”… “this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to”.
So to answer your question, no your dirty mind wasn’t playing tricks on you!! 🤭
Tools guitarist Adam Jones also worked as a Hollywood special effects artist and did the videos.
7:24 “Borderline of WHAT?!” LOL
Oh my favorite track! Definitely a double meaning on this one “turn around and take my hand” lol. Love the dark and dramatic tones. Adam their guitar player is the video mastermind. He use to work on movies like Alien for example.
5:55 Adam Jones. Not only does he do designing of miniatures, stage props, etc. as he did for the movie Jurassic Park, he's also their guitarist
7:36 - I don't think it's mixed signals, it's a both-and.
Your personality makes these reactions great. As for the meanings of the lyrics, I think it means whatever you need it to, at the time you are listening.
Tool’s guitarist Adam Jones does all the animation for their videos.
Adam also did a lot of the special effects for the movie Terminator 2.
I vaguely remember an interview with Maynard James Keenan back when this came out. He related the music of Tool in general to the sexual act of fisting. He said something like, "That if you just relax... listen... and give in.... then I think you will really enjoy yourself".
LOL your suspicions are confirmed 🤣
I mean, yeah. F!sting is a rather extreme act, and a perfect metaphor for overstimulation. It is the obvious double entender
I absolutely love your reaction 😂 NASTY TOOL
I remember my mom HATING it when I'd play this song. "Borderline of WHAT!" Was also her initial reaction.
It is what you're thinking, but he was using it metaphorically
Enjoyed your reaction! Its an engaging song to listen to, and the video is cool. I think the double entendre is definitely deliberate.
Adam Jones does most of the video work. He is an exceptional sculpturaist.
It is definitely A ... B is the Metaphor! Great reaction!
the music video was directed by the band's lead guitarist Adam Jones
The idea for the video and art is from the band's guitarist, Adam Jones. Before playing tool he worked doing special effects in movies like "alien" and "terminator". The idea of the lyrics is about unsatisfied desire and constant searching. Lack, desire, topics addressed in depth by Lacan.
"This makes me do the snake!" Bwahahahahaha
Great reaction, love your accent. As entertaining as the music.

Boredom’s not a burden anyone should bear.
But I bear it every day 😢
That "borderline of what"? How can a person do a question so serious and being so cute at same tame? Thats my question 😆
I always say this song is about social media before it even existed.
Yeah, you got it. It's about being so desensitised to everything that you feel the need to go more and more extreme just to feel anything at all. It's a metaphor but quite a... let's say... a strong metaphor, haha
I knew this was going to be an interesting reaction, haha. And now I have a morbid curiosity about what smut books you're listening to...
3:33 Should have been the thumbrnail 🤣🤣🤣
Tool - The Grudge. This song is a opener song from their album "Lateralus". For me is the best opening song from their albums.
Great reaction as always Biss😉😉
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
Thank you for the TOOL !
That's why it's called stink "fist" lol.
Hello Bisscute. I would definitely recommend Tool’s song AEnima which is the name of the album this song is on. There is a clean version here as well as a lyric unrated version too.
Yes! This song is about what you think it's about.
dude you're killing me lmaooooo my favorite reaction to this by far.
Maynard is talking about the various stages of "fisting" (hence, the moniker: "Stinkfist") but it's merely to serve as a very powerful, very graphic, metaphor to show what is happening to us as we engage in constant overstimulation. You got the meaning; you just got confused because the dialectical imagery was to mostly serve as a metaphor. Well, done! 👍👍
the name of the song explains it all.
My current favorite hard rock band. Thx Biss! I love this band. And, they are very very good live. Rock on everyone!
Adam jones ,tool guitarist is the mind behind these videos
5:52 Guitarist of the band Adam Jones is an animator and visual artist. He've worked in major hollywood films as a VFX artist
It’s all about what you’re prepared to offer or put into a relationship etc before you get something in return
It’s about sacrifice
Thanks Biss
💯♥️🇦🇺
You know, and we know that you know 😉
Thank you Biss! great reaction to a great song!
The first few times I heard this tune, it was mostly on while I was doing something else and not listening to the lyrics. One night I was laying on my bed, stereo cranked just playing this album. This song came on and about 1/3 of the way through it started dawning on me what it was about. I sat up. Re-started the song and was like WTF?! 😆
You have to review TOOL's Right In Two video. The video is 3rd party but it coincides with the song's message. Absolutely incredible track.
Always trust your instinks with tool. You’re great!
I love your reactions. I have been a subscriber for some time now. Yes it means just exactly what you think it means. You are such a sweetie. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a bit of a dirty mind it's in all of us.❤

The guitarist Adam jones comes up with these videos 😂

1:27 Perfect! Much better than basing your interpretation on what you're looking at
We all have dirty minds Bisscute, we all do. Don’t fell alone. You’re good. Love your content. 👍🧠🎧🎸🎤🥁🎼🎵🎼🎵
It's all of the above!
Yes, the song can indeed go 'very deep'.
Hi lovely Miss Bisscute, loved your reaction as usual, great choice👍
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
HAHAHAHAH love your reaction
😊great reaction 👏👏😊 .. its almost the end of Native American Heritage Month … perhaps a reaction to “ Stand Up / Stand N Rock “ in respect to the red man 😊
Tool Army is back for your great reactions
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
This one of the best reaction channels well done bisscute
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
Great work Miss Biss. You look lovely as always ❤

Justin chancellor and Adam jones have some of the best rhythm sections in music period
Thanks again Biss for introducing me to another new band [Im just wondering what rock i have just crawled from under?] To be honest it was ok the video was dark but put together well I'm just not to sure about this song. Again i probably need to listen to something else by them before passing any judgment.Great reaction from you as always♥
Spiral out...
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
There is a video of a live performance from 97 that my absolute favorite version of this song
You yell out "That's cookie jar" out of nowhere. lol, made me laugh.
I love ur reaction 😍 pretty biss 💗
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
@BisscuteReacts 💗
Maybe some Marilyn Manson, SWEET DREAMS or LITTLE HORN
7:45 * Laughs so hard it's borderline crying *
Borderline = Your Back-door
Fingers deep
To
Elbow deep!
😂😂😂
We are a messed up species 🤣
The guitar player (Adam Jones) made the video
For me, top 3 by them.
Tool is hilarious at deeking the fake intellectuals and trolling them into believing everything has a deeper meaning in their songs 😂

I'm not a subscriber, but saw other your Tool video. You are great!
And yes, this song is a metaphor, in which fisting is used like an example of getting hooked on a pleasure.
Everything you are thinking is correct.. and the fact that he needs more and more stimulation to feel anything is sad.. But it happens
😂😂😂😂 love the confusion over said border😏😏
I will never lose hope that you will react to the band "Los Jaivas".
Tool just have a really deep meaning if you know what I mean
El director de los videos es el guitarrista de la banda Adam Jones
Hi Biss. Great reaction! Well, you're not wrong. The "dirty" meaning is there, as confirmed by Maynard himself when, during a live concert he described the song as being "about one person sticking his fist up the a** of another person." th-cam.com/video/_Vm59i-tgWs/w-d-xo.html

Watching this video inevitably brings me to remember the experiments on human covy that were practiced in dictatorial countries. 🌺
Rob Halford of Judas Priest once said that if TOOL walked into the room, you wouldn’t recognize them because they never appear in their music videos
True, but ever so briefly in the Sober video
@@benkyle76 They were in the one for 'Hush'- although one probably still wouldn't recognize them.
Song is a metaphor for how the record industry screws you over.
“StinkFish” 🤣😂🤣
🌀👁🌀
Yeah. Tool always had some creepy ass videos back in the day. Nine Inch Nails too. I guess it was a thing back then, but even though that was my own generation, I was more into older music before my own time, so when I would see this kind of stuff then, I probably just didn't get it so much.
