![TOOL - Ænema [ REACTION ] I Had A Mental Breakdown....](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HotBzru6jQ8/mqdefault.jpg)

When he mentions Arizona Bay he is talking about the San Andreas fault line and how close it is from breaking away from the United States and sending most of California into the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, Arizona will become part of the Pacific coastline. He hints at this when he says “followed by fault lines that cannot sit still”. Also if you want to check it out, on the cover of the CD album there is a holographic image of the west coast that shows the fault line disappearing into the ocean as you rotate it from side to side.
We can only hope it happens soon !!!
@@jlm10181978 He’s also talking about vapid individuals such as yourself who would actually make a comment like the one you just made. Be cynical all you want but wishing millions of people dead makes you a sick piece of 💩. If we cross paths you would not like what ensued. Imagine every bone above your neck fractured with one or 2 👊🏻. Most likely one. Even if you are kidding it was a stupid comment.
The San Andreas fault sits atop the pacific plate. As such the scenario you described could never happen you absolute idiot.
Obviously sarcasm doesn’t translate well in the written word!!!
@@khworker1322 so your calling Maynard an idiot interesting!!!!!!
Arizona bay I think means when the water washes away California. The water will wash up all the way to Arizona. Creating Arizona Bay.
Yupper
San Andreas Fault
👍👍🤘🤘
Correct nailed it
Yes. Correct
When Tool throws shade -- it's a full on eclipse. It's one thing to dislike an individual and tell them you're going to shoot them in 50,000 different ways -- but it's an entirely different thing to wish the earth swallows millions of people whole. We didn't fuck around in the 90's -- and I miss it so much.
Ditto!!!! EPIC!!!!!!
I just turned 40,
This has been my favorite song for over 30 years.
.....And I "fuck around" even *less than ever before.*
I don’t think this song has been around for 30 years yet, has it?
@@jaycrocker3812 Nope. 25. 10/01/96. My bad. Feels like longer.😂
@@aldousorwell3807 yup cause it’s 9/17/96
The best part is this song is almost 30 years old and it's still completely relevant!
Not just relevant, but eternal. It SHOULD be entered into the library of congress for safe. Keeping and future gens to come
Even more so today
Too much toilet paper... it wont flush. Guess we need the plunger!
Actually more relevant than when it was written.
@@macedindu829 I find it interesting that tool recognize something that is only being brought to light nowadays
"Mother flush it all away" mother earth flush away L.A. which literally would leave Arizona Bay with Cali gone.
Ohhh ok that makes sense!
@@BradAndLex and that's why he repeats "learn to swim" over and over.... into the Pacific.... learn to swim.
California could have The Earthquake that would put Southern California into the Pacific. Hence Arizona Bay.
'Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still". Fault lines most likey tectonic plates that cause earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.. and maybe cause cali to break off into its own flushable piece creating Arizona bay. Which of course has the following of millions of dumbfounded dipshits to learn to swim!
@@BradAndLex The other secondary reference of learning to swim comes from the phrase sink or swim, basically if armageddon is coming then you had better be prepared to fend for yourself to survive instead of living an entirely useless life fixated on possessions and success...so when society does break down, you've already learned how to swim and take care of yourself instead of sinking with the millions of people who have absolutely no clue how to survive without electricity, running water, refrigerated food, stores, money, etc...
Don't hold back, Maynard. Tell us how you really feel about LA.
Not just L.A. but Scientology's leader.
Right!? 😂
The singer of Goldfinger as a similar view of LA. "The city with 2 faces" is a good tune, aka fuck LA
Anyone who OBVIOUSLY does not know the real L.A. is correctly a TOOL.
I found tool right after watching the matrix. This song was my mood for almost 2 decades. I grew up in similar religious circumstances as Maynard, as well.
Arizona Bay is a reference to Bill Hicks album from the 90’s. Bill was a satirical comedian who died in 94 but in his stand up he discussed wanting California to break off into the ocean. So that’s also why Maynard says “learn to swim” basically referring to the San Andreas fault breaking and dropping California into the Pacific Ocean.
Great reaction, keep up the good work!
Maynard also became friends with Bill before he died
he died in 94
Its hard to believe that this cane out almost 30 years ago and it's still so relevant today.
He's talking about a Major Earthquake along the San Andreas Faultline, dropping L.A. into the Pacific. The line/thought is taken from the Comedian Bill Hicks.
Bill hicks a comic genius
Or the plot from Superman 1 where a missile struck the fault then we can all live in Otisburg.
@@Dios67 no
@@viking_nor You will live in Otisburg and like it.
@@Dios67
Lmao 🎈
The best diss song ever and it didn't even come from hip hop.
I would say that honor would have to go to Ticks and Leeches
HAHAHA right?!!!
@@mikethemotormouth That's a great song but Aenema name drops. Ticks and Leeches is a sneak diss.
@@samspade8830 I don't know. Considering the story, doesn't seem very sneaky
@@mikethemotormouth It's rumored that he's dissing Tool's record label. But he's doing it secretly. The best diss track says the enemy's name. Just my opinion.
even after all these years, this song can still give me chills
The Arizona Bay part probably has a twofold meaning. It's a reference to California "falling" into the ocean, and it is also the name of a recorded set from legendary comedian Bill Hicks who died around the time of this album's release. He was a big influence on the theme of this album.
"Not what I was expecting" - Tool in a nutshell.
Think of the San Andreas fault line, he's suggesting that California will break off into the ocean at the fault line, leaving Arizona with ocean front property hence Arizona Bay. ... and yes Maynard got tired of the L.A. scene and move to Arizona
And started a grape farm for his wine. There's a 3 or 4 part documentary on him on TH-cam and it's all him telling his story and showing how his wine is made, too. You should watch it if you haven't already. Very intriguing!
I have a couple autographed bottles of his wine.
California slips into the ocean and Arizona becomes beach front property. Learn to swim!
Ahh ok! There was an ongoing conspiracy theory that there would be a super earthquake when we were living out there lol so i could see it
@@BradAndLex not a conspiracy theory, the San Andreas fault line is massive and is long overdue for a massive quake. Also, Yellowstone’s volcano is due to erupt anytime too. That’s gonna be devastating
I LOVED this reaction! Very insightful. I'm a huge Tool fan and this is one of my favorite songs, and it was great to get a perspective from people that actually lived in LA.
When Tool tours again you need to experience a show . It’s a breathtaking experience visually and musically
You guys are so complimentary to each other, Lex is like full of rock energy and Brad is like chill enjoying lex's energy but with some caution😂. I love when a guitar riff comes out and Lex gets all giddy.
Her facial expressions just get me!! 💗
When CA drops into the Pacific when it gets all flushed away. Doh.
Aenima album is one of the best metal albums of all time. This came out in 1996 so a while back. It is like a whole trip down the rabbit hole after some good shrooms.
Agreed
Yeah I saw them on this tour on 🍄
Metal?
Most refer to Tool as prog-rock.
I grew up in Arkansas and when this came out we would smoke some killer and drive through the woods at 2 am high af trippin along the bluffs and buffalo river.
100% Brad. Very good reaction.
You guys revitalized my love for this song and album! 😎👈🤟🤘🤘🤘🤘
"Learn to swim" is maynard's sarcastic humor coming to light. If you watch his speeches you'll know what I mean. Btw, he's hilarious ..strangely. You should check them out!
The "big one " (earthquake) is supposed to cause California to drop into the ocean creating a new coast line, Arizona bay. The CD case has a picture of what it would look like when California drops into the Pacific.
That's not really how tectonics work. The coast is on a strike slip fault. California won't sink, it will shift apart and part will move north. Probably creating new mountains as well.
Plus this is a reference to Bill Hicks stand up. People commenting 20 fucking years later keep thinking that's an opinion. Hicks is quoted several times in this song. He's specifically thanked, Third Eye is another Bill Hicks reference. His image is in the album artwork. But hhurr superman and some lake.... Ugggh.
Arizona Bay for when California falls in to ocean from earthquake is how I always took it.
Right on the money Arizona will be beachfront property
You guys are killing it!! Love the vids.
Love how Lex FEELS the music in all of these and Brad examined the lyrics. Great dynamic.
* examines
"Try to read between the lines"
To me, means he doesn't want people to actually die, he wants mother nature to wake the residents up.
To remind them that all the things that occupy their lives is BS.
Yea that’s how people tend to misinterpret Maynard. They take what he says at face value. When he writes about something, it’s sort of like the “ice berg” picture, where what he says sticks out at the surface but the larger concept of what he actually means is underneath. I’ve heard people have the same misinterpretation for Vicarious: that he actually likes watching people die or something.
Also read between the lines is a way to say “the middle finger”
Cuz he was kind of right about mother nature on c19, even though it was manufactured by people not mother nature
@@TheAdrianParade Nani!!!?
@@dantemack88 read between the lines, refers to that there is a mass extinction bound to happen sooner or later. its just matter of time
Maynard meant every word when he wrote this song. Around the time they were recording this album he left LA and moved to Arizona.
Yes! It was like he waited his whole life to get that off his chest.
If you get a copy of the CD version of the album the piece of front cover uses 3D lenticular animation for the album art. You can take the insert out and put the different pages back in to see different animations, one of which is an aerial picture of Southern California/Arizona area and when you tilt the album back and forth the chunk of Southern California disappears and reappears.
They are being pretty explicit about their distaste for a California and desire for it to gall into the ocean.
Give Tool’s “Bottom” a listen.
You two are great. Love you both!
I love all Tool songs, but this one in particular ever since I first heard it in the 90s it's been one of my favorites. The way this song is written is just genius, how it goes from that breakdown into that high pitch lead screaming guitar. Into the chunky heavy back to smooth again. I couldn't imagine what they felt when they heard this for the first time playing back to them. Goosebumps!!
My algorithm brought me here, so glad that it did. Anytime I see Tool reactions or any people who discover music for musics sake are keepin it real. Liked and Subbed.
One of my favorites; one of the best reactions I seen 👍🏻👍🏻
love your reaction to this, always fun to see intelligent people react to Tool
This song live is absolutely unbelievable. The bass and drums sweep you away like a tidal wave.
I’ve been lucky to see it twice!
This is one type of Maynard it’s angry Maynard he’s a blessing ❤️
Gotta be one of the best songs ever - has everything - amazing energy
Was cool to watch you two so kind hearted, you struggled to wrap your minds around him wanting it to completely fall into the ocean atlantis style. Stay golden
I've been a Tool fan for, gosh, 20 years, now. It gave me a lot of joy to see you guys enjoy them - especially to figure out the AEnema reference as an enema, and to laugh at it. Very cool. Thank you for this.
Oh! And _very_ cool to see you vibe on different parts of the song. Maynard once called writing vocal melodies to these songs is like walking an Escher painting with one eye and a peg-leg. Fun watching you sway at different times.
15 people are in Arizona Bay. This is one of my favorite reaction videos that y'all have done. Keep up the good work. Much love fam.
A "Bay of Arizona" would be a fk'n gift to humanity ... FOR ME BEST VIDEO YET
YOU TWO ARE DOING A GREAT JOB🔥
San Anderas fault goes off massively and we have a new shoreline, Ocean front property in Arizona.
Love it! This has always been my favorite Tool song! I still blast it in the car all of the time :) Keep On Rockin`
Lex said "preach!" you guys are great. thank you for your reactions.
Love these reviews.
"Don't just call me pessimist. Try and read between the lines!" ... This song is just as deep and meaningful as all the others. Read a little deeper.
I thought they read pretty impressively.. Especially for the first listen.
See this line still puzzles me. Everything I see when digging deeper is more pessimistic than what I see on the surface.
This is my favorite Tool song!
You guys are awesome!
gotta love how each section of this song builds off the next and when you think it's gonna keep rising, it will go back to spitting fax
You should react to A Perfect Circle's Orestes, 3 Libras, Gravity, The Outsider, and Pet. A Perfect Circle is the vocalist Maynard James Keenan's 2nd band. His 3rd is called Puscifer
Diet Tool but none the less 🤘
@@ruby4268 right? I don't do "relationship songs" for the most part but my Fiance deemed 3 Libras as "our song". The Ice Blue remix. The song does apply to us in many ways. The original does, not the remix.
Judith as well
@@andrewsmith345 yes but kinda have to know the backstory about his mom for that song to make sense
@@ruby4268 No it isn't. Very different band
Spotify says this was my most played song two years running lol
The thing I love about tool is they're so transcendent. The music sounds like it could have been dug out of an ancient tomb from thousands of years ago, or from an advanced alien species from outer space.
Apparently they use calculus in their song creation. Like on a white board in the studio full-on Calc equations.
Tool are a really interesting band. I saw them live in Canberra Australia where I live maybe12 years ago. The loudest and most impressive band I’ve ever seen.
Such a great song! If you guys ever get a chance to see Tool live you gotta go. One of the greatest bands to see in concert
I've seen them 6 times bro, and they are one of the best live bands ever.. I've been to well over 200 concerts, and Rush is one of the best live bands as well in my opinion, and Danny Carey emulates Neil Peart's style of drumming with all the off beats and intricacies.. They are both beasts..
I was finally going to see them in summer 2019 . But u know what happened
Is any other Tool fan loving watching people discover what we have known since the Opiate Ep in ‘92 , I am so happy to see these people go on the spiritual experience that is Tool Music ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im a late bloomer. Maybe late 93 i heard my first Tool song...disgustipated...not quite a song, but then i heard the first 4 songs on undertow after that and was hooked.
Late bloomer, yet only the second person in town to actually know who they were. Everybody caught up when Aenima hit
First time tonight watching you guys and your reaction video of Tool Aenima. My new favorite - you 2 are really cool and I enjoyed listening to your take(s) on this song (I'm a big Tool fan from back in the early 90's). You were both really close on your 'Arizona Bay' guesses. As mentioned by others it's all about California sliding off the face of the earth and into the ocean leaving Arizona as a coastal state. ( fault lines that can not sit still (San Andreas fault).
I always loved how Maynard goes off hitem up style at the end. Brilliant
Fault lines that cannot sit still refers to the San Andreas fault . Great reaction!
Always been up there as one of my favourite every lyrics
Listen to Passenger by Deftone. Its has the singer from tool. I'm telling you. Its a badass song
One of my favorites!
@@reneeg3318 love that fuckin song
Ya girl got a good groove my dude! It gives me hope when everyone is giving TOOL a chance!
I love how Brad wants to talk with Tool, but Lex just wants to vibe with their music.
I was so waiting for you two do react to this one. The wait was well worth it. “LearnTo Swim” refers to California falling into the ocean. Without Cali Arizona now has a bay on the Pacific Ocean. “Mom” is also referring to Mother Earth in the song. Great video. It’s scary how this song fits the world we live in today. You should react to “Culling Voices” by TOOL off their newest album. It’s a very cerebral song and album.
I never tore of listening to these incredible tool songs. Glad you two are chilling and checking them out. Great songs, great lyrics, great meanings. Thanks Maynard and Tool👍🏻
I like watching you guys break down the lyrics it's so comical
I’m from the DMV/Baltimore area & in March of 92 I moved to LA (I was 29) I was there for about a year & I LOVE & agree with this song
I starting listening to music all the way back with the Beatles as a pre-teen. Aenima is one of my all time favorites, every track on it. A true masterpiece.
Aenima was my introduction to Tool and to this day is my all-time favorite album.
My intro to Tool was
late 1993 and the track was 'disgustipated' last secret track from 'Undertow' album. Great masterpieces, all of them. Still warming up to the latest one.
The CD case for this album was holographic and when you moved it, parts of California fell into the ocean, leaving Arizona with beach front property.
I still have it.
By definition it was a lenticular case... just in "case" it's ever a Jeopardy question. 🌀
Why is it a square on the case?
I really like Lex's interpretation about drugs being the fixer, I didn't think of that
Great song. Tool is a great band. Cool reaction video. And I like your crib. The lighting is pretty bad ass.
My fav Tool song. "Arizona bay" - California after it sinks into the ocean :-) "you better learn to swim"
You both seem to enjoy Tool. You need to check out A Perfect Circle next since it has the same lead singer. I highly suggest The Outsider and Judith to start from. I'm loving watching you both going down the rabbit hole of bands that I was listening to in my early twenties and late teens. I turn 41 on the 18th so this really brings back memories.
I would add 3 Libras to that solid list
Blue and The Noose too
Pet
Judith rocks hard. I have seen A Perfect Circle live. I still haven't seen full on Tool. They are touring this upcoming year... hope "the virus gets better," TH-cam won't let you type the word covid?
Crazy how a song written 20+ years ago is stil relavant today
++ Great review you 2 are awsome
This is a great song live, the whole crowd singing along is a lot of fun.
Yay!!! This is an awesome song! Early love from Texas! When he's talking about "Arizona Bay," he's saying that, in his opinion, getting rid of everything west of Arizona would be ideal. Therefore, the "Learn to swim" line is saying the rest will be underwater.
Tool is my favorite band. They are their own category - nothing and no one has ever come close to doing what they have done for decades. 90's child 4-life. Have you guys checked out Danny Carey's drum cam video of the Song Pneuma? He's probably the best drummer in the world, it's worth a look! Great reaction!
Yes a lot like my favorite band Radiohead Tool seems to be like a genre unto themselves.
Damn you guys are good. I just watched 10 videos of yours. I just came on here to hear a TooL song!!
One of my all time favorites!
When lex said “it really sounded like a flush at the end” I never noticed that until you said it. Awesome
No shit, i didnt think about until she said it too...
@@jasoncutter7055 YES shit, actually. Ha. Then think of the ending of Green Jello's "Misadventures of Shitman" as it ends. (Flush)..."He's got Poo...Poo!" You'll never un-hear it. (Not positive if Maynard actually sang that part, but it sure sounds like him, doing a silly falsetto.)
You all have such an awesome 90's vibe to you...I can see your souls are still intact. Clear bright eyes, vibrant skin, vibrant personalities. Don't ever stop being you. Our world depends on it.
The drums are amazing
You guys are so awesome.
This has to be my favorite reaction by you guys🤘 Your experience in L.A. helped put this song into a true perspective🤘
Great band, might need a whole separate tool reaction channel if your going down this rabbit hole.
This song was my introduction to Tool in HS back in '99.
Loved them since.
My favorite Tool jam !!!!
"Flood" from the undertow album also brings up his decision to move to California and what a sugar covered turd it was. ” this ground is not the rock I thought it to beeeeeee!" Killer track with a badass sludgy/progressive intro.
Hell yeah! Wife and I saw them preform it at Bonnaroo 07 We were up front.. so badass !! Great song best show ever.
Yes. The whole album was fire.
Swamp song.
Top 3 Tool tracks in my opinion. First time I saw them they opened with it.
My interpretation is that Maynard wants things to change and hopes that mom (mother nature) will "... put it back the way it ought to be." through means of a flood which ties to why he calls the song Aenima (a combination of anima and enema). The song also hints this with use of the word flush. It's a massive analogy of how he views the materialism (the poop) of many of the people in Los Angeles and how he hopes that someone (mom/mother nature/the person performing the procedure) can get rid of (by causing a flood/by performing enema) their materialistic mindset and change. Those who change their minds (learn to swim) will then be left (left in Arizona which is not flooded due to elevation) to reflect on their past (flooded California). Hopefully maintaining a better sense of what it means to live.
learn to swim ...loved this in 96 while in college...now my sons love it and went to see them..
Seen Tool in Casper Wyoming. They opened with Jambi the into was literally shaking the arena! Great show.
I was repairing my lawn mower, looking up instructions on TH-cam, when i saw this and had to drop everything!
Been waiting forever for you guys to check this song out!
Great stuff! Keep it up!
This song is what got me into Tool. I was born and raised in LA and have always hated it for the same reasons of every lyric in this song. My buddy Jonas knew how I felt about the city and introduced me to tool with this song. Been hooked on Tool ever since. I left California over 20 years ago and can't wait for it to drop into the ocean.
"Learn to swim" and this entire song is about the big earthquake and Mother Nature dropping California in the ocean moving the ocean to Arizona creating Arizona Bay.
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied... learn to swim 🙂
Hes saying mother earth is gonna sink California n the new coastline is gonna be Arizona! Looooove tool !!!!
You guys are awesome 👌
Nail on the head. Aenima is a combination of 2 words - Enima, to cleanse, and Anima, spirit ..or rational soul. Great reaction! Thanks for sharing with us.
Bill Hicks wanted to buy all of the “desert land” east of the San Andreas fault, knowing that one day, he would own “ocean-front property”…..
Lex Luther had the same agenda, in the first Superman movie….
The real ones usually aren't the ones all up in your face smiling and talking a big game about what great friends they are to you. They speak with actions and they don't ask for anything they wouldn't do for you.
Cheers To you man reacting to good music. And you got that girl. Good on you. She is a smoke show
React to Mudvayne To either Dig or Works so cold. There such an underrated Band.. If you react to dig, you mite have to pull out the lyrics
World so cold. Love 🎸
Hes speaking of wiping LA/ Calif of the map. Making AZ now have a bay...
Finally! Stupendous music. Tool is the best. My ex- wife gave me their first CD - that's how cool she is.
Y'all are such a cute couple!!! Keep up the good vids!
