'Jimmy' is the first song in the Judith story. About his feelings as an 11 year old when his mom was paralyzed and reconnecting with that child to deal with trauma, integrate and move through.
You know I never thought to put Judith in the middle of these two tunes due to how well they mesh together but I actually like this approach. Very unique, I love it.
I hated the idea at first, but while watching I could see the appeal. Judith is on her death bed: wings 1 Maynard is upset: Judith Judith passes away: wings 2 I see the appeal, but really it should have been Judith, Wings 1, Wings 2. Wings of Marie are meant to be played together as they are one song. Still, great reaction, it was a journey. Wings for Marie is just such a special song that most of can relate to. We've all lost someone important to us. It's the honesty of the words, the incredible musicianship. It's a masterpiece.
I didn't like it.... Didn't fit the story... He wasn't mad she died.... He was mad she got sick.... By the time she died he didn't have that raw anger from the Judith song
WITH JUDITH MAYNARD WAS UNDERSTANDABLY ANGRY, IN WINGS HE SOUNDED SAD BUT IN THE ACCEPTANCE STAGE OF HIS GRIEVING PROCESS, ITS JUST BETTER LISTENED TO THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED, THE WAY YOU DID IT MAKES IT A LOT LESS HEARTBREAKING
I don’t know what it is, but after almost 30 years of listening to Tool, your videos give these songs so much more meaning to me. Not sure why. But that “10000 days in the fire is long enough, you’re going home” and “fetch me the spirit the son and the father, tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It’s time now, my time now, give me my wings.” Always brings tears. Brutal
Really shows how powerful a song is that we all feel the same way listening to it the first time and the 1000th time. Always get chills and a tear and the pillar of faith part.
I've cried so many times on the EXACT parts you mention...and very few songs have ever made me cry. I feel like I love his mother like he does. He puts aside his personal biases and meets his mother directly in her faith, using "this little light of mine" that she instilled in him through her faith, to meet her where she is at and to let her know that, according to her faith, she saved him from eternal damnation. So beautiful how he then argues for her to be treated as a saint to the holy trinity. Just amazing.
i hear you loud and clear,i got hip to tool back in 1993 the undertow CD, I was 25 then, I am 53 now, and most recently seen them live, back in 2018 in Las Vegas,and as you can tell I am right there with you.....tool army....
Maynard brought us an invaluable outlet. A catharsis. Judith gave us a perfect human in MJK. May she be resting in peace, with her well deserved wings.
Listen. I'm a devout Christian. My husband passed unexpectedly in April, I understand everything in these 3 songs more than I ever have in my life. I enjoyed them before but I had never felt loss like that until now. Judith is my current emotional state. I've told him I've hated him (God) then begged him to forgive my anger. God loves a grieving widow. He does not fear her tears nor shudder when she doubts her faith in the darkness.
Man, I tear up every single time after hearing these incredible masterpieces. Even having listened to them for the last 15 years they still draw that emotion. Absolute masters of the art of music.
My mother passed away in 2005 from sleep apnea. She was 61 years old. This album and A perfect circle helped me grieve. I still struggle with faith everyday. Glad you get the chill bumps in the same areas of the songs.
Sorry to hear that. My father passed away at 62 last year. He also had sleep apnea for years and I thought thats how he would die. I used to have panic attacks at night because i could hear him choking for air when he was asleep. I'd go wake him up to make sure he was ok. I don't know what else to say but I sympathize with your pain and loss. My father died from a brain aneurysm on the morning of my 27th birthday before I got to call him back. He called me while I was on my way to work and I sent a text that I'd call him back later. Always answer your calls, it might be the last one you get
@@ext93 I was a Mama's boy. Taking care of my Dad afterwards was even harder. The sleep apnea caused her to have a heart attack. I agree that should always say you love them even if their just going to the grocery store. I am now the same age my mother was when she had me. My son ironically was born on her birthday.
Every time I hear Maynard sing the lyrics about his saying, GIVE ME MY WINGS!!! It brings tears to my eyes cuz I cherish my mother wholeheartedly she was my Father and Mother due to my father passing away when I was 6 so this song hits me everytime...
After almost 30 years of listening to TOOL, my absolutely favorite band, it's YOUR reaction videos that have reminded me exactly why I fell in love with them in the 1st place. Thank you so very much for reopening my tired eyes.
If anybody actually wastes their time reading my long rant I apologize but these songs always hit really deep and getting things out in a weird way helps decompress feelings and emotions that are better off letting go of. Maynard’s penmanship on these songs are so powerful and deep and in my case hit home. God bless everyone and have a blessed holidays 🙏🏾
Played 10,000 Days at my older sister's funeral, among other songs. She introduced me to Tool in 1992 and passed away in 2008. I've only seen Tool once, but it was during this tour and I got to see them perform this....amazing. I've got my tickets for February in Orlando. Spiral out my friend!
I'm not crying, you're crying. 10000 days is not only my favorite Tool song, but my favorite song ever. I only let myself listen to it a few times a year because of how emotional it is, but it was great seeing the reaction with part one and Judith. A BIG surprise is that when you put Judith in the middle of part 1 and part two, and I didn't break anything. I would think that's blasphemy but I didn't mind it all. Great video!
My mother was in a convalescent home with MS from the time I was 14 until a year ago, for over 20 years she was an invalid. These songs always get to me.
Killer Saturn reference!! Saturn is mentioned in TOOL’s song “The Grudge” Perhaps when he mentions Let Go, he’s referring to the pain of losing his mother
@@JimmyIronballs the reference to "Saturn comes back around" is a nod to astrology. There's a belief in astrology that the return of Saturn is a sign of a person moving from their youth into adulthood. It's a period of passing from youthful ignorance into maturity. When you take that definition and put it within the context of the lyrics in The Grudge, it totally makes sense.
You're strong. I ball everytime Iisten to Wings and 10,000 days. APC has never really resonated with me, but it's wonderful to see Tool resonate with you, also. May our eyes be toward the Light, and not on the ground.
The one line I never understood was "daylight dims leaving cold florescent, difficult to see you in this light " until I watched my father pass away of lung cancer. Being there day and night you literally see day fade away and the florescent hospital lights are the only thing illuminating your loved one. Very cold feeling. He wasn't perfect but Needless to say this song means alot to me. I grieved to losing him but was happy the suffering ended. Sorry for the long comments, great reaction.
This is my favorite Tool song to watch reactions to! I’ve been bummed there hasn’t been a new one on TH-cam for a while. Thanks for this! I haven’t watched yet, but I hope you enjoyed it! ✌️❤️
This gets me every time! At first I was like, oh no don’t put Judith in between these songs buttttttt I understand and didn’t mind it at all! Great job. So so many more to go! ❤️
I’ve seen Tool 5 times and each time had plenty of “moments”. But experiencing Wings for Marie parts one and two in 2007 was the absolute pinnacle of any show I’ve ever been to. And it was an experience unlike anything else in my life. My aunt had just passed from a long battle with cancer and this song was my grief. Honestly, I was out of my body, and I was one with the crowd and music/band. Absolutely unreal.
I saw them do it in New Orleans in 07 and I don’t know that I’ll ever see another thing like it. Minus a coupla drunk shitheads yelling now and then it was dead quit, as dead as a Tool concert coulda been for 20 minutes during this. Beautiful. Sadly, never again.
That first bell gives me chills every time, it's a cue for the tears. Haven't been able to keep a dry eye through this one even one time and I've heard it A LOT. Beautiful.
Had the tissues ready to go before you started. 🙂 One of my favourite reactions (and my only hobby seems to be Tool reactions lately) so kudos, bro. Not gonna bother suggesting a particular song because they're all awesome and life-changing. Enjoying the ride with you, mate. 😀
never listened to those songs in that combination, even though I've listened to those songs hundreds of times. Thank you for that new perspective and gift man. Take care
you MUST listen to Jimmy... as others have said. Wings 1 & 2 bring tears to my eyes every time. I dont know how you can know the meaning behind these songs and not feel something. Such an incredible work of art from start to finish.
Whew. I've been waiting and hoping you'd get around to this one. This is the only song in my long history of either playing or listening to music that without fail, gets me to weep a little. I equate this to my own mother. Her 89th birthday is coming in a few days. Two years ago we lost my dad suddenly. Both my parents were/are very devout christians and parents to 9 kids. They both walked the walk and led by example to us kids. This song resonates with me deeply. It appears that it moved you too.
Tool is the only band of this genre that can bring my emotions to the top and have them erupt like a volcano. They’re special. They’re more than music. 🤘
I loved watching someone new discover all of this for the first time, with the understanding that it is brutal when you make the connections. It looks like it did for you what you needed it to do. Thanks for this react, it was hard to watch but easy to understand. Spiral out.
“Judith” is easily my favorite APC song. Honestly I had been listening to Tool for years and heard this song many times years ago before I actually knew what it was about. Now it hits even harder. Other APC songs I very much enjoy are: “Pet” “The Noose” “The Package”
These songs have always resonated deeply with me....like I realte to them on a personal level with Maynard. My Mother died of cancer when I was 8yrs old, Dad died a few months before I was even born in a car accident. After Mom passed, I was thrust into the care of an Aunt and Uncle 5 states away from everything I knew. I felt all of this for years.
Thank you. I've been suggesting these since your first Tool reaction. Watching your reaction during 10,000 days after ascension was spot on. I still have the same reaction and tears after 100s of listens.
It has been great to watch you experience these songs for the first time and join you on this journey. Wings Pt. 1 and 2 has so much raw emotion and heart to them. I feel that this is truth being told to us, the listener. Maynard has been very open and honest about his distrust of the congregation. The acknowledgment of his mother’s faith and want for her to have eternal peace from her “10,000 days in the fire” hits home for many I think. I honestly tear up when I hear these songs, and they (among other tool songs) move me spiritually.
Called it…wouldn’t be able to stay on the treadmill during these. Beautiful reaction, Sebs. And thank you for embracing the dark side of belief. Not many do and…it’s been an outcasting and lonely road to figuring out my own spirituality. My mom died when I was 11 so all of these songs Maynard has done Re: being 11, the trauma, her death, etc. it’s all been an incredibly necessary part of my daily process of grief. Thanks again
This song is 1 of 5 favorites of mine. The honesty intertwined with the musicianship is so fucking refreshing. Saw them play this live, all the organic sounds is Maynard on the keyboard, was so rad seeing that. Love the reaction, love tool✌
I have been waiting a long time for this one. Thanks Seb. Great, as always. "Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended..."
I'm so glad you listened to them!! These songs changed the way I viewed those I hold dear to me. I cried so hard the first time I listened to it. Maynard always has a way of finding that deep insecurity or fear and draw them to the surface, and in turn, changing the way we are from that moment forward. I'm not religious, but my mom is, and this song was a powerful way for me to find the connection with her.
My mom died last 2019 due to sickness. She was bedridden for years and this song hit me even before she passed away but more when it happened. Tool has a special place in my heart.
I have to admit there was a time I could play Judith no stop at the gym, start to finish, 40 minute workout. I did that dozens of times. Just so inspirational and heart pounding.
You actually gave me a new perspective on all three of these songs, especially Judith. As a believer, I have struggled with balancing the guilt of being angry at God when horrific things happen to loved ones who are Christians. Your explanation that it is okay to work through these things in my relationship with Christ and feel this way is not something popular in the church community right now. Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
I've been listening to this album for 15 years now. This song still makes me cry. Literally EVERY TIME.. Do yourself a favor and listen to this again with no interruption by yourself and immerse yourself. You will witness what true love is, true compassion, reverence and of course sorrow.
I'm christian, and this song breaks my heart. I don't consider this blasphemy, Maynard is just being totally honest which is something we all should strive for. The 'F your god' hurts me everytime I hear it, and yet... He's honest, you know... And if I were in his position, I'd probably say the same words. There's just so much raw honest emotion in this song.
Parts 1&2 make me tear up in about 5 different places... Such love and compassion, definitely a song I feel as much as hear. It's one of his other bands, but check out Agostina by Puscifer. A song written about the first time he saw his daughter. It's a gorgeous song, and as a parent fully sums up that feeling of meeting your child for the first time. Keep going man, your reactions are always spot on, you're taking a journey on that treadmill.
As an atheist (late to the party), thank you for your take on this song. I so respect your faith and values. I appreciate that I can expect that in return.
Said I wouldn't cry this time...crying, sigh. My mom died Nov 2013, we always had a huge family gathering at her house every Christmas and so now, right before Christmas, I really miss my mom. This song just brings it out even more, let's me grieve my own mom and wish her well on the other side. She fought multiple myeloma cancer for over a decade.
Edit: First and foremost THANK YOU for sharing your journey with us through your reactions. It's amazing watching somebody who truly appreciates what Maynard and Tool are capable of doing through music alone. Watching you these past months or so has been the highlight of my year. It literally makes my day better when I see you have posted a TOOL reaction. So from the bottom of the TOOL ARMY's hearts THANK YOU. (now my original post) I have been waiting on this lineup for a over a month. The anger that Maynard has in Judith, compared to Wings for Marie, is just amazing. Their ability to tell a story through music is just incredible. I'm so glad you reacted to this today. I know I've said this on one of your reactions but this one actually brought me to tears today. I haven't listened to these songs in order in quite a few years. I couldn't imagine going through all of that, especially from a young age. Keep up the great reactions Sebs.
When “The Grudge” says “Saturn comes back around to show you everything. Let’s you choose what you will and will not see and then drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again; spits you out like a child, light and innocent” I always think of these songs. “10,000 days in the fire is long enough.” 10,000 days is long enough to hold a grudge, as well.
Great job man. Its sad that people will alienate others with their ignorant words, like those who blamed his mother for what happened to her. While it’s obvious that our decisions have consequences, many of our trials, especially health challenges can’t be blamed on a lack of faith. I think this story in particular shows the opposite, that she was so strong she could endure it. What a powerful influence for Maynard.
Ive been here since your first dive into tool and waited for this vid. You're the first channel Ive seen that put Judith from Puscifer in there and it was exactly how I order it in my mind chronologically. perfect
Sebs, great reaction! I too consider myself more spiritual than religious but I have always liked a particular passage from the New Testament in the Bible. 1 Peter 4:12-13. I believe that trials in life can help us come to a better understanding of not only God and Christ, but also those around us. Keep up the great work!
Nice, I do think it proceeds more in the order of Jimmy, Judith, Wings and 10,000 days. Love your Tool reactions though, I think many reaction channels have doubled down on doing Tool as they notice the following of the army produces views but you can tell off riff most don't really 'feel' it. You've been the closest in terms of how the music has always made me feel, the emotions it evokes and the need to grow and be better.
Sebs, I feel like you and I could grab some coffee and chat for hours. I dig your understanding of spirituality and really appreciate your takes on the subject! I'm thoroughly enjoying your journey of discovery with TOOL.
If you respect someone, or if you are happy they are who they are, never be sorry something happened to them. It is part of what made them who they are.
I lost my mother at a really young age, these songs always make me tear up when I listen to them, but they're beautiful. I think they capture the pain and anger I felt at the time so perfectly. I did blame God.
YOU HAVE TO DO MORE APC!!! They are made up of many brilliant minds who create poetry with amazing sounds... Thirteenth Step is an entire album of gorgeousness!! And of course it helps us search our soul 🙈🙉🙊 APC Orestes is about having to let his mom go by taking her off life support... Just beautiful 🖤
Do you know how difficult it is to be cleaning my snake cages, and listening to this reaction, and your reaction, whilst crying my eyes out? It aint easy, but was so worth it. Thank you for allowing us to rediscover these TOOL tracks with you, and giving your true thoughts and insights. I havent heard this song without crying in years. My mother died 6 years ago from ALS. Her name was also Judith. She was also a very devout Christian, as was my Father, who died last September. This song really hits home everytime its played, but it is a wonderful masterpiece, and has helped me to deal with the death of my parents. Its OK to be mad at God. It happens. We are human. But He has a plan that maybe we arent always meant to understand. God Bless You, and Spiral out!
Just remember that her faith never faltered. This story is told from the point of view of Maynard. It was his doubts and anger expressed. Reminds me of when my Grandmother passed. The nurse said that she was gently singing right until the end. She had buried a husband and 5 children. She was ready to move on. Faith is strong my friend.
Dude your reactions to this video were hard to watch for all the right reasons. It's a gut-wrenching song and I had the same reaction when I was listening to it for the first time. Took a while for me to just kick back and enjoy the music on this one but I eventually did. Almost anyone can relate to a lot of what Maynard writes, especially with how you interpret it. My mom is a devout Christian and wants nothing more than to see me baptized some day. However, my faith has always been on uneven ground but my spirituality has not. It's an uneasy feeling that many would never understand. Great reaction, dude.... Patiently waiting for what you have next.
Also.... I've commented on this before, but a couple things to review are the "Holy Trinity", Disposition, Reflection, and Triad, in that order..... And No Quarter, Led Zeppelin cover, that can only be found on TH-cam for the most part.
As mentioned throughout the comments check out “Jimmy” for Tool and also “Momma Sed” (live version) by Maynard’s 3rd band Puscifer. The live performance is more haunting/sobering than the studio version
I seen one of your live streams and a guy kept referring to you as Jimmy! Fallon lol but it reminded me you had reacted to Judith with Wings 1&2. That was the right way but the song Jimmy from Tool is the only other song & the prequel to the entire story of Maynard and his mother Judith! So it's a must if you want the entire experience!!!! Again your an amazing reactor! 👏 Tool Jimmy
Awesome reaction dude. You can feel the stages of grief in Maynard’s music. Jimmy is pain and guilt, Judith is anger and bargaining, Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days is reconstruction/working through and Horizons (by his other band Puscifer) is acceptance and hope. Maynard’s mother’s illness had a profound affect on Maynard’s life. She couldn’t look after him anymore and he had to move state to live with his father and step mother. His book “A perfect union of contrary things” is a great read if you ever have a chance. He wrote poetry before he became a musician. I’m glad he did. I’m sure his songs have helped countless people on their journey.
'Jimmy' is the first song in the Judith story. About his feelings as an 11 year old when his mom was paralyzed and reconnecting with that child to deal with trauma, integrate and move through.
Yeah I suggested h he should do that one first a week ago. I'm just happy he's about to listen to the feelings of Maynard James.
This needs to happen.
God I love Jimmy. Haunting song.
Such an underrated song
Yeah I thought Jimmy was about him going back to get his childhood innocence back, but angsty MJK is always fun like Opiate
You know I never thought to put Judith in the middle of these two tunes due to how well they mesh together but I actually like this approach. Very unique, I love it.
I hated the idea at first, but while watching I could see the appeal.
Judith is on her death bed: wings 1
Maynard is upset: Judith
Judith passes away: wings 2
I see the appeal, but really it should have been Judith, Wings 1, Wings 2. Wings of Marie are meant to be played together as they are one song. Still, great reaction, it was a journey. Wings for Marie is just such a special song that most of can relate to. We've all lost someone important to us. It's the honesty of the words, the incredible musicianship. It's a masterpiece.
@@ninemonthfall should’ve been Jimmy, Then Judith, then Wings

OMG @Zeta I say the same thing ALLLLL THE DANG TIME!!!! I cry along with him sometimes!!
It's ok, let's all cry together 😥
I'm not crying, I swear!! Somebody is just cutting onions nearby 😢
Rest in peace Marie, thank you for your Son. He has brought SUCH Greatness and Power to this World!!
I'm so thankful for discovering him also. Thank you Marie
Maynard brought us an invaluable outlet. A catharsis.
Judith gave us a perfect human in MJK. May she be resting in peace, with her well deserved wings.
I cried the whole time 😪 so many emotions in the lyrics and the music 🎶 masterpiece is a understatement !

Killer Saturn reference!! Saturn is mentioned in TOOL’s song “The Grudge”
Perhaps when he mentions Let Go, he’s referring to the pain of losing his mother
Doubtful, The Grudge was written a few years before she passed.
@@CHRISodious yeah it's more likely letting go of his grudge against God for allowing her to suffer
@@JimmyIronballs the reference to "Saturn comes back around" is a nod to astrology. There's a belief in astrology that the return of Saturn is a sign of a person moving from their youth into adulthood. It's a period of passing from youthful ignorance into maturity. When you take that definition and put it within the context of the lyrics in The Grudge, it totally makes sense.
Damn Sebs, not even a mention of Justin's genius in this tune. He literally carries it from start to finish!
Knew you'd love it. Great reaction bro.
That moment of Adam and Justin and Danny is so good just building and building.
Biggest problem is breaking up the Wings. They flow together so nicely, it’s really one tune. 10,000 days resolves the first part.
You becoming a legend in the reaction game brah. Keep it up.
This is Maynard giving us more than any other musician has given of themself.

The noose by a perfect circle is absolutely beautiful. Super angelic and a tear jerker for me. Piano and percussion are so unique at the intro.

Honestly, I was out of my body, and I was one with the crowd and music/band. Absolutely unreal.
Beyond jealous of that experience that will never happen again 🌀
I saw them do it in New Orleans in 07 and I don’t know that I’ll ever see another thing like it. Minus a coupla drunk shitheads yelling now and then it was dead quit, as dead as a Tool concert coulda been for 20 minutes during this. Beautiful. Sadly, never again.
I've been waiting for this one. Haven't watched yet but I know you're going to do it justice, Sebs
You stole the exact words out of my mouth
100
That first bell gives me chills every time, it's a cue for the tears. Haven't been able to keep a dry eye through this one even one time and I've heard it A LOT. Beautiful.
I cannot wait til ya get to the Holy Trinity!! Disposition, Reflection and Triad
23:15 if you don’t get chills from that, you’re not human
Had the tissues ready to go before you started. 🙂 One of my favourite reactions (and my only hobby seems to be Tool reactions lately) so kudos, bro. Not gonna bother suggesting a particular song because they're all awesome and life-changing. Enjoying the ride with you, mate. 😀
What a amazing tribute to his mom. The ambiance the bass sets is magnificent.
never listened to those songs in that combination, even though I've listened to those songs hundreds of times. Thank you for that new perspective and gift man. Take care
you MUST listen to Jimmy... as others have said.
Wings 1 & 2 bring tears to my eyes every time. I dont know how you can know the meaning behind these songs and not feel something.
Such an incredible work of art from start to finish.
I absolutely love watching your reactions to these songs. It’s beautiful!
If there's one song that deserves the title "epic" it's 10000 days. My lord 😮
Whew. I've been waiting and hoping you'd get around to this one. This is the only song in my long history of either playing or listening to music that without fail, gets me to weep a little. I equate this to my own mother. Her 89th birthday is coming in a few days. Two years ago we lost my dad suddenly. Both my parents were/are very devout christians and parents to 9 kids. They both walked the walk and led by example to us kids. This song resonates with me deeply. It appears that it moved you too.

@@matt.endlesscourage thank you. Much appreciated.
Yeeeeeeep. This is a powerful one for sure. Great reaction as usual Seb
Tool is the only band of this genre that can bring my emotions to the top and have them erupt like a volcano. They’re special. They’re more than music. 🤘
Much more than JUST music
🌀
I loved watching someone new discover all of this for the first time, with the understanding that it is brutal when you make the connections. It looks like it did for you what you needed it to do. Thanks for this react, it was hard to watch but easy to understand. Spiral out.
Your honesty in this is so nice to hear. 🙏🏻
“Judith” is easily my favorite APC song. Honestly I had been listening to Tool for years and heard this song many times years ago before I actually knew what it was about. Now it hits even harder. Other APC songs I very much enjoy are:
“Pet”
“The Noose”
“The Package”
The raw power of the package is just *chefs kiss*
These songs have always resonated deeply with me....like I realte to them on a personal level with Maynard. My Mother died of cancer when I was 8yrs old, Dad died a few months before I was even born in a car accident. After Mom passed, I was thrust into the care of an Aunt and Uncle 5 states away from everything I knew.
I felt all of this for years.
Thank you. I've been suggesting these since your first Tool reaction. Watching your reaction during 10,000 days after ascension was spot on. I still have the same reaction and tears after 100s of listens.
It has been great to watch you experience these songs for the first time and join you on this journey.
Wings Pt. 1 and 2 has so much raw emotion and heart to them. I feel that this is truth being told to us, the listener. Maynard has been very open and honest about his distrust of the congregation. The acknowledgment of his mother’s faith and want for her to have eternal peace from her “10,000 days in the fire” hits home for many I think. I honestly tear up when I hear these songs, and they (among other tool songs) move me spiritually.
I feel it EVERY time i listen to this song!!
Called it…wouldn’t be able to stay on the treadmill during these. Beautiful reaction, Sebs. And thank you for embracing the dark side of belief. Not many do and…it’s been an outcasting and lonely road to figuring out my own spirituality. My mom died when I was 11 so all of these songs Maynard has done Re: being 11, the trauma, her death, etc. it’s all been an incredibly necessary part of my daily process of grief. Thanks again
This song is 1 of 5 favorites of mine. The honesty intertwined with the musicianship is so fucking refreshing.
Saw them play this live, all the organic sounds is Maynard on the keyboard, was so rad seeing that.
Love the reaction, love tool✌
Never knew that, so jealous that you got to experience that live 🌀
I have been waiting a long time for this one. Thanks Seb. Great, as always. "Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended..."
Just learned more depth, AGAIN!
Thank you for your inputs!
I always find profundity when studying Maynard's honest, profound and multi-level lyrics🔥🌀
I'm so glad you listened to them!! These songs changed the way I viewed those I hold dear to me. I cried so hard the first time I listened to it. Maynard always has a way of finding that deep insecurity or fear and draw them to the surface, and in turn, changing the way we are from that moment forward. I'm not religious, but my mom is, and this song was a powerful way for me to find the connection with her.
Thank you for this unique experience Sebs🔥🌀
36 minutes of chills 🖤 These songs always break me a little inside.
My mom died last 2019 due to sickness. She was bedridden for years and this song hit me even before she passed away but more when it happened. Tool has a special place in my heart.
I have to admit there was a time I could play Judith no stop at the gym, start to finish, 40 minute workout. I did that dozens of times. Just so inspirational and heart pounding.
man everytime you pause and become. overwhelmed, i feel like im feeling what youre feeling. damn its hard even if i listened to this many times
At the end of this, and your reaction and analysis is so empathetic....I'm on board. 🙏
You actually gave me a new perspective on all three of these songs, especially Judith. As a believer, I have struggled with balancing the guilt of being angry at God when horrific things happen to loved ones who are Christians. Your explanation that it is okay to work through these things in my relationship with Christ and feel this way is not something popular in the church community right now. Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
Beautiful tribute to his mom and inner look at the "real" Maynard. Thank you for your comments!!
I've been listening to this album for 15 years now. This song still makes me cry. Literally EVERY TIME.. Do yourself a favor and listen to this again with no interruption by yourself and immerse yourself. You will witness what true love is, true compassion, reverence and of course sorrow.
Yeah. I could do it on camera.
I'm christian, and this song breaks my heart. I don't consider this blasphemy, Maynard is just being totally honest which is something we all should strive for. The 'F your god' hurts me everytime I hear it, and yet... He's honest, you know... And if I were in his position, I'd probably say the same words. There's just so much raw honest emotion in this song.
Parts 1&2 make me tear up in about 5 different places... Such love and compassion, definitely a song I feel as much as hear. It's one of his other bands, but check out Agostina by Puscifer. A song written about the first time he saw his daughter. It's a gorgeous song, and as a parent fully sums up that feeling of meeting your child for the first time. Keep going man, your reactions are always spot on, you're taking a journey on that treadmill.
Agostina is such a beautiful song, Money Shot in it’s entirety is amazing.
This has been such an amazing ride with you. Please more TOOL. You get it bro. I love you
I love you man. Have a great time on this journey.
As an atheist (late to the party), thank you for your take on this song.
I so respect your faith and values. I appreciate that I can expect that in return.
I need to go hug my Mom after this one Bro!
Said I wouldn't cry this time...crying, sigh. My mom died Nov 2013, we always had a huge family gathering at her house every Christmas and so now, right before Christmas, I really miss my mom. This song just brings it out even more, let's me grieve my own mom and wish her well on the other side. She fought multiple myeloma cancer for over a decade.

Edit: First and foremost THANK YOU for sharing your journey with us through your reactions. It's amazing watching somebody who truly appreciates what Maynard and Tool are capable of doing through music alone. Watching you these past months or so has been the highlight of my year. It literally makes my day better when I see you have posted a TOOL reaction. So from the bottom of the TOOL ARMY's hearts THANK YOU.
(now my original post) I have been waiting on this lineup for a over a month. The anger that Maynard has in Judith, compared to Wings for Marie, is just amazing. Their ability to tell a story through music is just incredible. I'm so glad you reacted to this today. I know I've said this on one of your reactions but this one actually brought me to tears today. I haven't listened to these songs in order in quite a few years. I couldn't imagine going through all of that, especially from a young age. Keep up the great reactions Sebs.
When “The Grudge” says “Saturn comes back around to show you everything. Let’s you choose what you will and will not see and then drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again; spits you out like a child, light and innocent” I always think of these songs. “10,000 days in the fire is long enough.” 10,000 days is long enough to hold a grudge, as well.
Great job man. Its sad that people will alienate others with their ignorant words, like those who blamed his mother for what happened to her. While it’s obvious that our decisions have consequences, many of our trials, especially health challenges can’t be blamed on a lack of faith. I think this story in particular shows the opposite, that she was so strong she could endure it. What a powerful influence for Maynard.
Cannot wait for more Tool, Spiral out brother 🌀✝️
I feel closer to you after this. God bless you.
Ive been here since your first dive into tool and waited for this vid. You're the first channel Ive seen that put Judith from Puscifer in there and it was exactly how I order it in my mind chronologically. perfect
Sebs, great reaction! I too consider myself more spiritual than religious but I have always liked a particular passage from the New Testament in the Bible. 1 Peter 4:12-13. I believe that trials in life can help us come to a better understanding of not only God and Christ, but also those around us. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the reaction! Just an amazing song ! Maynard is the greatest lyricist i have ever heard!
Nice, I do think it proceeds more in the order of Jimmy, Judith, Wings and 10,000 days. Love your Tool reactions though, I think many reaction channels have doubled down on doing Tool as they notice the following of the army produces views but you can tell off riff most don't really 'feel' it. You've been the closest in terms of how the music has always made me feel, the emotions it evokes and the need to grow and be better.
Sebs, I feel like you and I could grab some coffee and chat for hours. I dig your understanding of spirituality and really appreciate your takes on the subject! I'm thoroughly enjoying your journey of discovery with TOOL.
Bro, I get the chills every time I hear 10,000 Days
Long-time mega fan of this song. The lines he wrote and sang for his mother. Amazing!
For sure dude! Hits you right in the feels!
Their pillar of faith had ascended. That's how I feel about my grandma passing
If you respect someone, or if you are happy they are who they are, never be sorry something happened to them. It is part of what made them who they are.
I lost my mother at a really young age, these songs always make me tear up when I listen to them, but they're beautiful. I think they capture the pain and anger I felt at the time so perfectly. I did blame God.
YOU HAVE TO DO MORE APC!!! They are made up of many brilliant minds who create poetry with amazing sounds... Thirteenth Step is an entire album of gorgeousness!! And of course it helps us search our soul 🙈🙉🙊
APC Orestes is about having to let his mom go by taking her off life support... Just beautiful 🖤
Do you know how difficult it is to be cleaning my snake cages, and listening to this reaction, and your reaction, whilst crying my eyes out? It aint easy, but was so worth it. Thank you for allowing us to rediscover these TOOL tracks with you, and giving your true thoughts and insights. I havent heard this song without crying in years. My mother died 6 years ago from ALS. Her name was also Judith. She was also a very devout Christian, as was my Father, who died last September. This song really hits home everytime its played, but it is a wonderful masterpiece, and has helped me to deal with the death of my parents. Its OK to be mad at God. It happens. We are human. But He has a plan that maybe we arent always meant to understand. God Bless You, and Spiral out!
Just remember that her faith never faltered. This story is told from the point of view of Maynard. It was his doubts and anger expressed. Reminds me of when my Grandmother passed. The nurse said that she was gently singing right until the end. She had buried a husband and 5 children. She was ready to move on. Faith is strong my friend.
Dude your reactions to this video were hard to watch for all the right reasons. It's a gut-wrenching song and I had the same reaction when I was listening to it for the first time. Took a while for me to just kick back and enjoy the music on this one but I eventually did.
Almost anyone can relate to a lot of what Maynard writes, especially with how you interpret it. My mom is a devout Christian and wants nothing more than to see me baptized some day. However, my faith has always been on uneven ground but my spirituality has not. It's an uneasy feeling that many would never understand.
Great reaction, dude.... Patiently waiting for what you have next.
Also.... I've commented on this before, but a couple things to review are the "Holy Trinity", Disposition, Reflection, and Triad, in that order..... And No Quarter, Led Zeppelin cover, that can only be found on TH-cam for the most part.
Well thanks for making me bawl today.
Amen my brother
Thank you! Just Thank you!
As mentioned throughout the comments check out “Jimmy” for Tool and also “Momma Sed” (live version) by Maynard’s 3rd band Puscifer. The live performance is more haunting/sobering than the studio version
The live version is absolutely beautiful, so beautiful
Jimmy blew me away when I first heard it in 1997
What an awesome reaction to some of the most moving songs in the world
I cry every time I hear the "give me my wings" lines
Every time, “give me my wings”, hits hard
I seen one of your live streams and a guy kept referring to you as Jimmy! Fallon lol but it reminded me you had reacted to Judith with Wings 1&2. That was the right way but the song Jimmy from Tool is the only other song & the prequel to the entire story of Maynard and his mother Judith! So it's a must if you want the entire experience!!!! Again your an amazing reactor! 👏
Tool Jimmy
Great reaction man.
Honesty, empathy and sympathy in the same video.
Awesome reaction dude. You can feel the stages of grief in Maynard’s music. Jimmy is pain and guilt, Judith is anger and bargaining, Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days is reconstruction/working through and Horizons (by his other band Puscifer) is acceptance and hope. Maynard’s mother’s illness had a profound affect on Maynard’s life. She couldn’t look after him anymore and he had to move state to live with his father and step mother. His book “A perfect union of contrary things” is a great read if you ever have a chance. He wrote poetry before he became a musician. I’m glad he did. I’m sure his songs have helped countless people on their journey.
