I love how they didn't understand the lyrics to ænema, then cuts right into "we're producers" not realizing that the song was partially about insignificant attributes the Californian lifestyle creates.
Thier right brain picked up the lyrics and brought the ideas forward to their left brains. The left brain does all the talking, what we are witnessing is their left brain rationalizing with their right, and as cringy as it appears it is a lesson all at once. "Truly think about what we are saying, and if it's not a truth then it does really need to be said." Are you really a producer, or are all the animals expected to produce? Every living thing is expected to produce, so to bring up being a producer might hold weight, it only indicates a deep personal biases to reject this song.
Sober, first Tool track I ever heard, on a tape deck, in the car, circa 1993. I love how your man says ' .....time change.... '..... haha It's not the end of the world, just dumping LA into the ocean..... erh, 13 years for the last album.......
Danny Carey my favorite drummer of all time, is the first person to make me think of the drums as something that could potentially be a lead instrument.
You guys only did the one song of each album that really got mainstream airplay. These are all actually close to the bottom on the list of great Tool songs. I was a little disappointed actually after these kids stating that they're 'in the biz' to see the lack of real listening skills, no reading between the lines. Danny Carey is quite likely the best drummer of all time, the man is just phenomenal. Try Pneuma, ticks and leeches. Also, You'll never get the time signatures on the first listen, these were the easiest ones. I first saw them in '93 and they've been my favorite band ever since, they've grown as a band musically parallel to my growth and maturing through life. It really is an experience through a life of emotions, turmoil, acceptance and transcendence of you listen through from beginning to end of the discography and some songs from a perfect circle and puscifer are part of the picture as well.
The week TOOL released all their music digitally, they unseated Taylor Swift and dominated the top 10 where almost every single song was a TOOL song. They have a very large and dedicated fanbase. Do yourselves a favor and do a deep dive on this band if you liked what you heard. Your minds will continue to be blown over and over.
Ænema is based on a comedy routine by Bill Hicks, who hated the city of Los Angeles. He thought the people were very superficial and represented America at its worst. In his routine, which is sampled in the song, Hicks talks about California falling into the ocean and creating Arizona Bay. Hence, learn to swim
Ænema was the song they had the hardest time digesting, it just didn't make sense. Then they immediately followed the comment of not being able to understand the song they throw in some of the Californian insignificant attribute mentioned in the joke, "we're producers." Hicks would have hit the roof.
Jesus can you talk through the best parts of a song any more? Too many dudes trying to be/sound cool or be funny at a once.... But I like how "The Pot" simmered them down to listening way more... just shows the power of Tool....All hail Maynard! 🤟
@@mikebarker5783 Well at the risk of sounding like a typical tool douche bag fan (which is 80% of tool fans) I’ll say I don’t think they’re really getting to enjoy Tool because they’re not paying attention
"Too many dudes trying to be/sound cool or be funny at a once..." That is the best summarization of this generation I have seen. All clamoring for attention and beaming the effort out into the entire world. It's like the cacophony of a middle school birthday party at ChuckE Cheese but every kid has a megaphone.
@@johnswanger8474 oh yeah totally definitely. Back in my day during the 1990s, we were all very mature & respectful & humble. I didn't meet one attention seeking person during middle school or highschool or college. There were no immature or attention seeking people until the year 2010.
The vocals are far back in the mix because the vocalist feels he is 1/4 of the band and no one person is more important than the other. He doesn't consider himself a " front man" or " lead singer" his voice is another instrument. It does make it harder to hear the lyrics, I agree.
Agree completely. Tool aren't a band that's easy to get through though. But they definitely deserve a better review than this. Honestly seemed amateur.
So many people think Tool is so dark and yes, their first two outings were pretty dark but Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum have a lot of very positive messages.
@@manwithnoname3024 The song is about the cespoolthat has become the Actors and actresses, and that lifestyle. Basically saying he cant wait until mother comes to fix it all. "Mother" Being Mother Nature. "'Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon Mom's coming 'round to put it back the way it ought to be" Really easy to look up lyrics.
The guy with the dark glasses reminds me of the Saturday Night Live character Irwin Mainway Played by Dan Aykroyd. Definitely seems like a guy that would sell a bag of glass to children.
22 year old here I am a massive Tool fan. Found them on youtube about 4 or 5 years ago before they were on spotify. They mean alot to me I love all the albums and have listened to them to death. I will be seeing them for the first time in Dublin in may, really excited to finally see them live. Really enjoyed this video by the way was really a good watch
You sir are wise beyond your years and among the few in your generation that have the ability to identify and appreciate true unfiltered talent at its core. So awesome to hear from someone your age who genuinely understands just how bad ass Tool really is. When you walk out of that concert your ears will be tingling, brain will be butter and your face will hurt from smiling. At least that’s how I always feel after every time I see them. If anyone ever tells you the circus is the greatest show on earth their lying, Tool is for sure!!!
Tool is above everyone in music. The 4 most-talented musicians on earth found each other and produced true art. Not a better show live, any genre, for 30 years. You have to really understand timing and polyrhythms to even dare listening to them correctly. Truly next level, Even all the living Lex Zeppelin members have said Tool is them now and that is why Tool has specific permission to redo any song from LZ, for sale or in show. Gods talking about Gods💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are awesome, I saw them first back in '93, at the very beginning. Not a hooker with a penis but I think Afghan Whigs are close, different genre, but once you get into them... it is an open invitation to you ;-)
Interesting. I didn't know that. Tool is spectacular no doubt. One of my absolute faves. I remember reading, don't know if its true, that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page both cried when they heard Tool's cover of No Quarter. Tears were shed when I first heard it so I would not be surprised. They are on another level.
Fuck this was so frustrating to watch. The dude in the white hat kinda got it. The quiet guy also kinda got it but the dude with shades just absolutely didn't understand it. They all talked during the vocals and it ruined them truly understanding TOOL. It's like talking during a David Gilmore solo. It's just something you DONT do. 🤦🤦🤦
Maynard sings in Puscifer and A Perfect Circle and owns a vineyard. when i saw them live he was painted head -to-toe blue and also stood on a podium in the back Respect & Peace
I’m surprised Juan and Marko (sorry if I mis-spelled either) ranked Tool so low on their respective lists - given that you each appeared to be so impressed throughout, and more fully engaged while listening over much longer periods, than with other bands previously in the series. Good picks for introducing Tool to new listeners.
I don't understand the like/dislike ratio. I'm a tool fan but I don't feel the need to take offense for them. Tool wouldn't approve of that behavior; they're about introspection and finding yourself. Everyone is different. People are allowed to interpret the music however they want. This album was dark, but that was tools journey as people. They have evolved over the years just like you and I have and their music have reflected those changes. It was a journey I'm proud and thankful to be a part of over the years and you should all be ashamed for downvoting because you felt attacked for tool. Get fucked Edit: I finally got to use a semi-colon, still not sure if that was right lol
@@ToolforOffice thanks bro. Some Tool fans are turning out to be those crazy Christians who won’t stop knocking on your door until you accept Christ or the Vegan who flat out hates you for eating meat. I love Tool! Rock on.
@@ToolforOffice it’s not about them not feeling it, it’s about them not even listening enough to be able to feel it. I don’t care if they don’t like it, it’s their opinion, but to constantly talk over the song they’re “listening” to is absurd.
This definitely not a band where one should be talking mid through the song... And, specially, if what's being said is just random talking and joke attempts... Nonetheless, I'm glad you liked the songs
The Pot is actually in 4/4 in the beginning, and actually all the way up to the 3:40 mark, where it changes to 6/8. not a very complicated time signature, but the groove he adds to the playing is awesome.
You were talking about them in concerts and arenas. They are gearing up for their 22 tour. A ticket for Minneapolis main floor, center stage...$6,000 a piece. Tickets for second level, $1,000. Nose bleed seats, $600. I'm still thinking about going.
For anyone who isn’t familiar with Tool, it’s definitely worth your time to listen to each album along with doing some homework on the band. They’ve always preferred to stay out of the lime light but they sell out huge venues in the US and internationally every time they tour. Go see them live and you’ll be absolutely amazed by how tight they sound and blown away by how big their production is. They do a great cover of No Quarter by Zeppelin if you want hear them cover one of the greats. Finally, last week I made one of the best decisions Ive made in years and treated myself along with a few lucky others to the best tickets I’ve ever had for a Tool show. One might say there will be a pleasant Midwest Sunday evening in late January 2022 where we all happily get our faces melted to the floor.🤘
started the video and wasn't feelin the guy in the shades...the head said his favorite hana character...bro your now the coolest on the screen. "CAPTAAAAAIIIIIN CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
Seriously. I love tool But today there are many many new bands coming to light. Different genre’s though Like deathcore and metal. So many bands with amazing talent
Bands are going away because of the work and effort required to make a band work. The amount of humility and compromise needed to function in a band is too much for a lot of people
The best part is there's still no musical formula in their wheel house. They are the only rock band I know that continues to think outside the box and surprise my ears. Love them. So stoked to see you guys appreciate them too. Cheers🍻
Adam is the main sculptor/designer for all the characters and creatures in the videos and directs all the videos as well. He worked in Stan Winston studios back in the day b4 TOOL and worked on some of the biggest fx movies of all time like T2, Jurassic Park, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. He left to start and pursue TOOL full time.
Tools guitarist Adam Jones was in a band with Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine back when they were both in high school. Maynard and Danny were once members in Bill Manspeaker’s band Green JELLÖ WITH Maynard on backing vocals. The original bassist Paul D’Amour is now in the band Ministry and The current bassist Justin Chancellor is unbelievable
Way too much talking and not enough close listening if you are pushing TOOL way way down to some of the areas you are and surrounding them with a few of the rather talentless pedestrian bands that are on this list. TOOL should be no where near that other four letter word on your list: "Kiss".
Come on guys that video you played for "The Pot" was for "Stinkfist." The former doesn't have an official video. The guitarist organizes/manages/co-creates the videos...which are _amazing_ but it's best to check out the audio-only for the first time...anyway they only have a few vids out of many songs. Y'all were also talking your asses off and paying no attention to the best part and climax of "46 & 2."
Tools are masters polyrythms, the more you listen the deeper it gets. Music is very complex, the transitions and flawless with lyrics to back it up. Watch Penuma drum cam live, Danny Carey, watch the octopus in action - th-cam.com/video/FssULNGSZIA/w-d-xo.html Also Adam the guitarist made the earlier film clips and is an animation artist, worked on some big films back in the late 80s and early 90s. Maynard doesn't like taking the limelight so stands to the side of the band, when you listen you can tell that the bass, guitar, vocals and drums are very balanced.
Tool is more than music. If you allow yourselves to close your eyes and open your minds you'll find they're a transcending experience. What am I saying? Less talking more listening and feeling. You have to allow the music to envelope your very being.
The Pot was off of their 5th album not the 4th. The 4th album is Lateralus which a lot of people think of as their magnum opus. Also, not a moshpit band/show.
Check out their "Pneuma" Vic Firth drum cam. But you gotta watch the midsection of the vid. He plays four different time signatures, each with an independent limb.
“I love that drummer”- Welcome to the club! Go watch Danny play Pneuma. MKJ adds vocals separately after the music is produced. There’s a reason the vocals blend… it’s by design. Dive down that rabbit hole and you’ll appreciate the music even more. Also, Slipknot? Stop that nonsense! In closing, everyday I wish I’d never heard of Tool so I could experience them for the first time again the next day🤯
@@MaddSpazz2000 46 & 2 almost made it in, I chose Aenima instead. Maybe on a Tuesday I would have gone with 46 & 2, but I did use it for background music! The new album I’m just rediscovering - fucking covid.
My guy in the gray jacket is freakin hilarious. LOLOL Guys kept saying they could hear the lyrics... It's hard to hear the lyrics when you're talking over them :0)
I really like you guys. Danny Carey is the nucleus of the band and is musically trained. Good picks for beginning TOOL fans. Hope y'all dive deeper into their discography. I'm subbing for that.
Adam Jones has a musical background. I don’t know about Justin, but based on some of his bass grooves and harmonies, he probably does, too. Maynard is just a natural savant. I don’t think he went to school for music or had a background in it. I could be wrong. I haven’t read their wikis. Adam is classically trained on…violin? Another string instrument I believe.
I lost all respect when your man said it's hard to find tasteful drummers "especially in this genre" your talking about the genre that is basically constantly bringing new drummers to the forefront who people from other genres go to see in concert to take fucking notes. Also your note that bringing the vocalist forward would destroy the point of the song. Read the lyrics, realize what your talking about, because you were right when you said "I feel like something's going to kill me" he's talking purely about addiction and the music is addiction while the vocal is the person struggling within it. Do yourself a favor and watch the live version. Then do yourself another favor and listen to Gojira "Art of Dying", then Meshuggah "Bleed". Seriously... Metal is the forefront of drumming, it was an interesting moment when I was watching Gojira Live, and noticed two guys a row away from me talking in each other's ears, and the music cut out and I heard the guy say "it's insane I can not believe he is doing that live" and I realized he was talking about The drumming. It has also been pointed out that when Meshuggah was playing in California Danny Cary (tools drummer) was back stage to watch Thomas Hake (drummer for Meshuggah). The word was that he was blown away as well. Please please please do your selfs a favor and react to some Gojira, I often refer to Gojira as the heavier brother of tool.
DUDE You guys have zero attention span. This is why you don't understand the song. Its about his hatred for California and would love to see an asteroid fall from the sky and cause California to be submerged into water. Learn to swim.
Seriously this is the third comment where I just have to point out how wrong you are. Your saying that the metal artists are collabing with "mainstream" artists? As though the metal bands are lower than the mainstream artists? It's the other way around you have mainstream artists who have dreamt of working with these metalheads for years and now that they're mainstream they actually have the connections to make it work. I'm sorry but you guys have a terrible reading on the pulse of at least the metal genre and I have no interest in knowing what your actual music taste is based on this video because you demonstrate that you don't actually have an appreciation for the music at all. I will say that I can respect putting NIN above Tool in some ways, Trent Reznor is another powerhouse artist. But other than that there was very little that I could agree with any of you on, other than Danny Cary being among the best drummers of all time....which litteraly anyone who's ever listened to a tool song would say that. I will watch more videos from you guys, but I sincerely hope you can open your fucking ears, because 100% metal is one of the most PURE expressions of music there ever has been.
Next, do yourself a favor. Listen again. Be alone and quiet. Listen with headphones and nobody talking all over the place to distract you. It will change you!
The voice in the middle of the mix is purposeful It's not a "flaw" But I get your point... you just have to consider that some musicians have very much figured out, even the minor details 🙃
Depending on the "part" of the song its...9/4..8/4..3/4..4/4 ..They're favorite time signature is 6/4...they'll always bring u back in a 4/4 shortly in most songs to make u feel normal then bend u out again
You guys trying to hard to be comedians. Completely missing the brilliance of the lyrics and message of the music. Tool is a band like no other. Trying to compare them with metal or grunge or w/e else , is trying to put them in a genre they dont belong. Their genre is Tool.
Honestly, there’s no trying hard at all here, we were pandemic bored when we started this & don’t give a flying wizard of Oz monkey fight who watches. Thank you for watching.
"This is the best drummer of all the bands weve listened to" -Yea, in your life, ever. If you guys would shut up long enough to listen to the song, you would understand the lyrics better. You cant run your mouth for the entire song then say "I dont get the lyrics" after cherry picking like 4 words out.. Also, someone get that coffee away from backwards hat guy.
I read where manyard sings behind the drums because he can hear his self better behind the drums. And Adam Jones does most the art work with Alex gray belive is his name also did alot of the sculpture on the first jurassic Park movie.
"it's hard to understand the lyrics" _continues to talk over the entire song_
It's hard to watch
I love how they didn't understand the lyrics to ænema, then cuts right into "we're producers" not realizing that the song was partially about insignificant attributes the Californian lifestyle creates.

Probably the worst reaction to tool I've seen. A few guys talking over the the song and not paying any attention to the lyrics. Slipknot...lmao.
That last song The Pot is actually one of the easiest time signatures. It’s just 4/4
TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium.
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
I kinda think tool is the zeppelin & Radiohead is the Floyd. But I get both.
Sober, first Tool track I ever heard, on a tape deck, in the car, circa 1993. I love how your man says ' .....time change.... '..... haha
It's not the end of the world, just dumping LA into the ocean.....

Danny Carey my favorite drummer of all time, is the first person to make me think of the drums as something that could potentially be a lead instrument.
Heavy syncopated pattern of 16th notes in 4/4. . .

WOW, thanks for understanding, and thank you for the support... Any suggestions for any future videos in terms of bands?
This definitely not a band where one should be talking mid through the song... And, specially, if what's being said is just random talking and joke attempts...
Nonetheless, I'm glad you liked the songs
You guys are killing me with it being scary and and having nightmares. Man up.
Real men are in touch with, and express their feelings. Grow up.
The Pot is actually in 4/4 in the beginning, and actually all the way up to the 3:40 mark, where it changes to 6/8. not a very complicated time signature, but the groove he adds to the playing is awesome.
Yeah I think he's missing all the polyrhythms from different instruments that's throwing off their count.
Yeah you people talk too much while reacting. Remember: Overthinking, overanalyzing separates the body from the mind
Lol, one of the few times Tool are in 4/4 and they're like"what time signature is this?"
The accents throw us off !
Aenima is about LA falling off into the ocean. Please watch Pneuma live drum cam! Great footage of Danny Carey.
Fun fact: Adam Jones, guitarist, made the music videos
The pot time signature is 4/4 mixed with 5/4, it's a polyrhythm
The guitar player in the band Adam Jones makes the music videos, he also made some of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park
"Leave "a" time signature for a whole Tool song" lol, have fun figuring out polyrhythms
Nice job for a bunch of distracted... just kidding. Keep listening guys, to Tool. Go see them in concert!!
You were talking about them in concerts and arenas. They are gearing up for their 22 tour. A ticket for Minneapolis main floor, center stage...$6,000 a piece. Tickets for second level, $1,000. Nose bleed seats, $600. I'm still thinking about going.
Those must be resale tickets cause I got nosebleed seats for $70 plus fees.
We may have to pull up
For anyone who isn’t familiar with Tool, it’s definitely worth your time to listen to each album along with doing some homework on the band. They’ve always preferred to stay out of the lime light but they sell out huge venues in the US and internationally every time they tour. Go see them live and you’ll be absolutely amazed by how tight they sound and blown away by how big their production is. They do a great cover of No Quarter by Zeppelin if you want hear them cover one of the greats. Finally, last week I made one of the best decisions Ive made in years and treated myself along with a few lucky others to the best tickets I’ve ever had for a Tool show. One might say there will be a pleasant Midwest Sunday evening in late January 2022 where we all happily get our faces melted to the floor.🤘
I was wondering where Stinkfist was, then I realized they talked through literally the entire song lol
started the video and wasn't feelin the guy in the shades...the head said his favorite hana character...bro your now the coolest on the screen. "CAPTAAAAAIIIIIN CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
Ah man, Since they loved Danny I was hoping they would hear Pneuma.

Seriously. I love tool
But today there are many many new bands coming to light.
Different genre’s though
Like deathcore and metal. So many bands with amazing talent
Now do it again with third eye, rosetta stoned or descending :) have a nice 14 minute song to stew on
The Pot is in 4/4 I believe. They try their best to make it feel like it isn’t
Also in case no one put it here the time signatures were 4/4/, 2/4, 6/8 if I remember correctly.
Bands are going away because of the work and effort required to make a band work. The amount of humility and compromise needed to function in a band is too much for a lot of people
What a great point ! Humility is certainly lacking right now !
The best part is there's still no musical formula in their wheel house. They are the only rock band I know that continues to think outside the box and surprise my ears. Love them. So stoked to see you guys appreciate them too. Cheers🍻
I love how it took 3 songs until someone realized the time signatures were odd! Lmao
Did they know that Adam, guitarist, was the vfx guy behind the videos?
I take it his job before the band? or during not sure.
Adam is the main sculptor/designer for all the characters and creatures in the videos and directs all the videos as well. He worked in Stan Winston studios back in the day b4 TOOL and worked on some of the biggest fx movies of all time like T2, Jurassic Park, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. He left to start and pursue TOOL full time.
Tools guitarist Adam Jones was in a band with Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine back when they were both in high school. Maynard and Danny were once members in Bill Manspeaker’s band Green JELLÖ WITH Maynard on backing vocals. The original bassist Paul D’Amour is now in the band Ministry and The current bassist Justin Chancellor is unbelievable
Way too much talking and not enough close listening if you are pushing TOOL way way down to some of the areas you are and surrounding them with a few of the rather talentless pedestrian bands that are on this list. TOOL should be no where near that other four letter word on your list: "Kiss".
Come on guys that video you played for "The Pot" was for "Stinkfist." The former doesn't have an official video. The guitarist organizes/manages/co-creates the videos...which are _amazing_ but it's best to check out the audio-only for the first time...anyway they only have a few vids out of many songs. Y'all were also talking your asses off and paying no attention to the best part and climax of "46 & 2."
TOOL Honda center Anaheim CA January 18th 2022. Got my tickets. I can't wait!!
Tools are masters polyrythms, the more you listen the deeper it gets. Music is very complex, the transitions and flawless with lyrics to back it up.
Watch Penuma drum cam live, Danny Carey, watch the octopus in action - th-cam.com/video/FssULNGSZIA/w-d-xo.html
Also Adam the guitarist made the earlier film clips and is an animation artist, worked on some big films back in the late 80s and early 90s.
Maynard doesn't like taking the limelight so stands to the side of the band, when you listen you can tell that the bass, guitar, vocals and drums are very balanced.
Nice...and you have a great name! 😉
th-cam.com/video/KlTrqTwaqdo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ZyteEntertainment
Tool is more than music. If you allow yourselves to close your eyes and open your minds you'll find they're a transcending experience. What am I saying? Less talking more listening and feeling. You have to allow the music to envelope your very being.
"What's the time signature of this song?"
Answer: yes...
Tool is famous for playing odd time sigs. That's what they do
True, but the pot is mostly in 4/4 lol
lol
The Pot was off of their 5th album not the 4th. The 4th album is Lateralus which a lot of people think of as their magnum opus. Also, not a moshpit band/show.
Check out their "Pneuma" Vic Firth drum cam. But you gotta watch the midsection of the vid. He plays four different time signatures, each with an independent limb.
“I love that drummer”- Welcome to the club! Go watch Danny play Pneuma.
MKJ adds vocals separately after the music is produced. There’s a reason the vocals blend… it’s by design. Dive down that rabbit hole and you’ll appreciate the music even more.
Also, Slipknot? Stop that nonsense!
In closing, everyday I wish I’d never heard of Tool so I could experience them for the first time again the next day🤯
Tool is fantastic, you guys should do Descending and Invincible, their newest album is fucking amazing. Which is par for the course with Tool
Also 46&2
@@MaddSpazz2000 46 & 2 almost made it in, I chose Aenima instead. Maybe on a Tuesday I would have gone with 46 & 2, but I did use it for background music! The new album I’m just rediscovering - fucking covid.
I would like see them react to bury the light from DMC 5. I think they will find it amazing as well.
My guy in the gray jacket is freakin hilarious. LOLOL
Guys kept saying they could hear the lyrics... It's hard to hear the lyrics when you're talking over them :0)
As much as these younger guys like timing Lateralus needed to have been played.
I'm seeing them in January FINALLY!!!! After that I can die totally happy🖤
Talk over the best verse of sober...I hate that.
Why is Sober playing over the Prison Sex video? I started to wonder if I was getting dementia and got the videos confused lol.
lol
Did anyone else notice they used the video from Schism for AEnima?
It was said in the beginning the videos were not matched up it was simply to set the mood.... everyone seemed to miss that 🤷🏻♀️
Comparing Tool to slipknot ?
Blasphemy
lol, Juan Messed up pretty bad didn't he?
Tool will be taught in music theory classes in the future in the same breath as Mozart and Bach
I really like you guys. Danny Carey is the nucleus of the band and is musically trained. Good picks for beginning TOOL fans. Hope y'all dive deeper into their discography. I'm subbing for that.
He’s musically trained ? Aren’t they all ?
@@tempsitch5632 it just means he went to school for music. I'm not 100% but I think he studied music theory at university of California.
Thanks so much for the sub 🔥💪🏼🙏🏼
Adam Jones has a musical background. I don’t know about Justin, but based on some of his bass grooves and harmonies, he probably does, too. Maynard is just a natural savant. I don’t think he went to school for music or had a background in it. I could be wrong. I haven’t read their wikis. Adam is classically trained on…violin? Another string instrument I believe.
I lost all respect when your man said it's hard to find tasteful drummers "especially in this genre" your talking about the genre that is basically constantly bringing new drummers to the forefront who people from other genres go to see in concert to take fucking notes. Also your note that bringing the vocalist forward would destroy the point of the song. Read the lyrics, realize what your talking about, because you were right when you said "I feel like something's going to kill me" he's talking purely about addiction and the music is addiction while the vocal is the person struggling within it. Do yourself a favor and watch the live version. Then do yourself another favor and listen to Gojira "Art of Dying", then Meshuggah "Bleed".
Seriously... Metal is the forefront of drumming, it was an interesting moment when I was watching Gojira Live, and noticed two guys a row away from me talking in each other's ears, and the music cut out and I heard the guy say "it's insane I can not believe he is doing that live" and I realized he was talking about The drumming.
It has also been pointed out that when Meshuggah was playing in California Danny Cary (tools drummer) was back stage to watch Thomas Hake (drummer for Meshuggah). The word was that he was blown away as well.
Please please please do your selfs a favor and react to some Gojira, I often refer to Gojira as the heavier brother of tool.
If they saw Pneuma live they’d lose their minds
And we did!
th-cam.com/video/KlTrqTwaqdo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ZyteEntertainment
Danny started off as a Jazz drummer. ✌
We can definitely tell 🔥🔥🔥
DUDE You guys have zero attention span. This is why you don't understand the song. Its about his hatred for California and would love to see an asteroid fall from the sky and cause California to be submerged into water. Learn to swim.
Seriously this is the third comment where I just have to point out how wrong you are. Your saying that the metal artists are collabing with "mainstream" artists? As though the metal bands are lower than the mainstream artists? It's the other way around you have mainstream artists who have dreamt of working with these metalheads for years and now that they're mainstream they actually have the connections to make it work. I'm sorry but you guys have a terrible reading on the pulse of at least the metal genre and I have no interest in knowing what your actual music taste is based on this video because you demonstrate that you don't actually have an appreciation for the music at all.
I will say that I can respect putting NIN above Tool in some ways, Trent Reznor is another powerhouse artist. But other than that there was very little that I could agree with any of you on, other than Danny Cary being among the best drummers of all time....which litteraly anyone who's ever listened to a tool song would say that.
I will watch more videos from you guys, but I sincerely hope you can open your fucking ears, because 100% metal is one of the most PURE expressions of music there ever has been.
Next, do yourself a favor. Listen again. Be alone and quiet. Listen with headphones and nobody talking all over the place to distract you. It will change you!
You don’t listen to Tool You experienced them
The voice in the middle of the mix is purposeful
It's not a "flaw"
But I get your point... you just have to consider that some musicians have very much figured out, even the minor details 🙃
Have to do another Tool episode and blow their minds with the mastery of Forty Six and Two
People keep saying Pneuma. But the 46 and 2 drum solo definitely grooves harder. And the song is better.
Depending on the "part" of the song its...9/4..8/4..3/4..4/4 ..They're favorite time signature is 6/4...they'll always bring u back in a 4/4 shortly in most songs to make u feel normal then bend u out again
You guys trying to hard to be comedians. Completely missing the brilliance of the lyrics and message of the music. Tool is a band like no other. Trying to compare them with metal or grunge or w/e else , is trying to put them in a genre they dont belong. Their genre is Tool.
Honestly, there’s no trying hard at all here, we were pandemic bored when we started this & don’t give a flying wizard of Oz monkey fight who watches. Thank you for watching.
"This is the best drummer of all the bands weve listened to" -Yea, in your life, ever. If you guys would shut up long enough to listen to the song, you would understand the lyrics better. You cant run your mouth for the entire song then say "I dont get the lyrics" after cherry picking like 4 words out.. Also, someone get that coffee away from backwards hat guy.
Reaction actually starts at 5:43. Sober is the most overrated Tool song. It’s Ok but not top 50.
I read where manyard sings behind the drums because he can hear his self better behind the drums. And Adam Jones does most the art work with Alex gray belive is his name also did alot of the sculpture on the first jurassic Park movie.
Dude was right.. I was driving when he said "to me it sounds like slipknot.."
I almost wrecked
These kids need to see Danny play Pneuma. See Daddy Danny beat a drum lol
