They hit the jackpot with Danny. So many drummers wouldn’t of been able to compliment and raise the music up the way he did. So many pro level drummers wouldn’t even.
No disrespect, but Danny makes drummers like Travis Barker look like a 5th grade talent show contestant. And that's truly not a dig at Travis Barker, more a compliment to be mentioned in the same sentence as Danny. You can't truly understand Danny's talent til you see him live, it's truly superhuman...
Danny was a massive part of it but let's not pretend like Adam jones didn't write the majority of the music and also design or select the majority of the artwork in their albums and shows.
I agree with all of you. Danny is the most recognizable force of Tool. But, anyone who follows tool knows that it’s Adam’s baby for the most part. No one can do what Danny does, but no one can do what Adam does either.
I love that Maynard sidestepped the reporters question about having a "female engineer", and instead acknowledged her as just the best engineer of all the engineers they met with. "Female" had nothing to do with it.
That struck me as well. The reporter seemed to be going for the political angle and Maynard brought the conversation back to her skill instead of her gender. I don't blame the interviewer but I do appreciate Maynard's take (and this is nearly 30 years ago before the MeToo movement).
@@retroxify Not so much ahead of his time, just a non douchebag logical thinker. They've always existed, but not given media coverage, as common sense has always been at odds with the narrative.
This was really cool. Around the time when Undertow came out I wrote a letter with a picture I drew of them on stage asking why they're were no lyrics in the cd pages. Obviously I loved the music. I really like jamming to music with the words. For me it helps me to understand some of the meaning of the tunes which kind of links it together. TOOL sent me a package with four sheets of lyrics,, a demo cassette and a order form to get some stuff they were selling. I ended up with three other news letters from them about the band and reading material suggested by Maynard. Well.. I sent my 12 bucks in for the TOOL logo shirt and still have everything they sent me. That was the coolest thing ever. I've seen them twice in Michigan. The BEST shows I've ever seen! Thanks for putting this on YT. \,,\
My 3 year old son prefers Green Jello to Tool in 2022. Anybody who does not know about Green Jello is wrong. Adam Jones was partially responsible for what happened at Jurassic Park. Deeper into the spiral we fall!
He's being cheeky, which actually suggests he has enough of a bug up his arse to make another record nowish, only 5 years after FI.This comment from him made me smile thinking it won't be that long.
I’ve seen all of these clips over the years. Considering that quality concert footage and interview material for Tool is limited, and often difficult to find, I think that you’ve done an outstanding job piecing it all together. Kudos to you for your time and effort. Much appreciated 👍
Yes!!! That old Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty clip and footage of the live Opiate recordings and Henry Rollins in the studio for Undertow was awesome!!!!
This is a fine piece of work which I thought I had overlooked until I saw when it was uploaded. A real find and very interesting to even a longtime Tool fan. Good job!
"If we took less money, we got more control.. and the people who signed us think that was great.. I signed em for no money, ya know, but they can't make a move without us, we have that artistic freedom" ~AJ
I'm pretty sure that footage of Matt Pinfield introducing Ænima on 120 Minutes is from my channel, and if so, I just want to say how delighted my mom would be to know that it ended up as part of someone's Tool doc. She's the reason it exists. We saw Tool together on 11/23/96 in Philly and she became a huge fan of them afterwards, so much so that she taped over one of my WWF wrestling VHSs with that 120 Minutes footage. I only found it last year while digitizing old tapes salvaged from her house. Thanks Barb!
Too many rock stars end up dead or washed up. I'm thankful these men had enough maturity and humility to stay creatively active. I could see TOOL albums lasting longer than Mozart's work. That's how much respect they deserve because the music on the last 3 albums has been timeless, layered and intelligent to the point that its simply on a higher plane than most music out there. They're the Monet of Metal!
!! I’m just a massive fan ,👁🌀👁and have been a fan for 30yrs. And then they make the best for last👁🌀👁Fear Inoculum is in MY opinion a point of no return ever, can they come down to earth . The rest of the crap comes out and I’m just numb and in wonder of what the hell was that, musing around was the rush of the production you feeling the synncrynized best That is a perfect analogy for TOOL👁 When you are in your bedroom and thinking of the way it is expressed to you and, so blessed to be inoculated by your favorite Music , and is the way to get to the masses Getting all and more than ever before the new Tool Fans are very much more fun to get riled up about it because the people who are willing to question their own authority climb the ladder to greater heights . the best people I’ve seen in a band and know that they have a like Minded motitives , And endeavors that usually have no relationship with the other parts that go intolerable fans are will always be questioned , but in a nutshell they are completely, and Alone shit are you gonna approach it with caution or a lot of emotions and experience the connection to the company that you keep is important too and then A section of brain that is connected to it and practically anyone with the same common sense of what the goal is for the Band and then long term is it going to be a closer looking forward? they are completely spontaneous and they are killing it with the shows they have no competition for show and sound and that alone makes the LEGENDARY PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHANGED THEIR OWN WORLDS, .and ours is in the ride they give us. I’m not gonna cry ,👁🌀👁maybe , BLESS THIS IMMUNITY AND THE TOOL COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME WITH KILLING IT ALL ,and opening up my Own third Eye THE WAY .
Happy you had such an awesome 22nd B-day! Got to meet Tori Amos for my 15th . Ah, memorable days....... ;) Didn't catch Tool till I was 16- Lollapalooza 97' was great! Krazy-fun!!!!!
Best band of their generation, and one of the greatest bands of all time. They created their own sound, their own genre, their own thing. Of the times, yet timeless. Just brilliant.
I recently took my dad along to see tool live, he's a fan but not a superfan like me. After seeing tool live on an eighth of shrooms, he said it was the best show he's ever been too, and that tool is essentially a hippie, good vibe, psychedelic jam band that is classic rock, heavy metal, and alt rock all at once. And the biggest impression we were left with was the insane technical and artistic talent they all have that is truly unmatched. Even 20+ years later their live show rocks harder than kiss or metallica ever did in their prime.
@celestialscripture Tool's great as it is, but on psychedelics it's a whole other experience, one of a kind. The songs have truly deep and esoteric meaning you can't really appreciate while not in an elevated state of consciousness.
Couldn’t even imagine a world where these 4 guys didn’t make this magical music together ! And yes Adam, you are in a band with one of the best drummers in the world without a doubt.
Danny Carey might just be the best drummer in the world. It's debatable, what is NOT debatable is that he's definitely up there and anyone who knows what they're talking about will at least mention his name if that subject is ever introduced. He's definitely my favorite drummer probably of all time. Brann Dailor is pretty good too, in fact he and Danny Carey did some promotional drum duet thing and it's amazing.
TOOL doesn't just create music, they create sonic artwork. Their collection of music is a masterpiece, every bit as important and significant as Beethoven's greatest compositions
If I werent alive during TOOL's reign, I would think of the band as a fable.. A unicorn! They truely are one of a kind and im afraid this type of music stopps with TOOL. Im forever grateful for this band and my dad for showing me Eulogy in his car when I was 13. We were out fishing salmon and I was wet and cold, but I forgot all about that when I heard TOOL for the first time.
It was aenima for me. I think 99? Oh and stinkfist on triple J’s hottest 100. A song countdown vote thing a big radio station here in Australia do. It clicked. But only those 2 songs until lateralus came out. I’ll admit, I’ve never seen them live, I’m not the biggest fan, and I don’t know every single song off by heart - yet. I do love them, but not like other music I listen to. And each time I rediscover (being maybe listened to once or twice years and years ago) songs, my mind gets blown. It’s like hearing it for the first time. In particular 10,000 days. For some reason didn’t get into it at the time. Still don’t know the track list. But every time I hear a song I only heard once or twice this time around, it sets in. I love it. Fear innoculum, for me, is their best work. The musicianship and musicality is insane in that album. A true magnum opus. I know it very well. Like lateralus. Anyhow, peace everyone. Damn I wish I bought tix to the last tour! Haha next time :)
Also thank Uncle Al. The one and only Singer of Ministry. So the story goes from Maynard interview, and AL has positively gave Maynard a drink with liquid Acid at Lallopoloza changed Tools Direction forever and we are grateful.
Somehow, Tool wasn't on my radar until about six months ago when I ran across Danny Carey's Pneuma video. I immediately had to have more of that. Now I can't stop listening to these guys. I mean, how in the hell did I not know about them after being a reformed drummer and Rush fan since 1978? Anyway, I'm stuck on Invincible. What an incredible accomplishment.
had / have the same experience as you, Nick ;) Danny is absolutely on a new level of playing drums (like Neil was). Invincible and Descending are incredible arrangements ... Greetings from Germany, Marcus
@@m.h.7912 Wie gehts, Marcus? Yes. Like Neil, Danny's compositions are incredible. I have always been attracted to drummers that are very 'busy' but yet musical. I just love his seemingly effortless use of polyrhythms... especially in Pneuma. It's incredible to watch. If I was still playing, I could practice for a hundred years would not be able to play those parts.
Dude. I too was born in ‘78? and never got into Tool, until 2020. My brother came to town, and he’s a huge Tool fan. He had an extra ticket to the Nashville show on January 29th, and asked if I wanted to go. I said sure, since we rarely see each other. I went just to hang out with my brother, but became an instant fan before the first song was over which was Fear Inocculum. Actually had bought tickets to the Witchita show for June 2020 then came the cancellations. I’m forever grateful to my brother for turning me on to Tool.
This documentary is THE best I've seen of TOOL. Great job sir. I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for such a in depth trip down the rabbit hole and history of one of my favorite bands. TOOL=LIFE 🤘🤘
ArtMind is an Alex Grey documentary but besides that doc this really is the only lengthy vid pertaining to Tool......oh, I think he's in a TED talk....enjoy
What Maynard is saying from 17:00 is profound in that the people in the Tool audience are mostly artist, so they are more forgiving and appreciate the work for its artistic value. Everyone I know that is a true Tool music lover is an artist in one sense or another...
That really resonated with me, cause I've always been an artistic type as well, and I fell deep in love with tool when I first delved into them around 03-04. I was a freshman in high school and then 10kD came out when I was a junior and so it really shaped my experience. I picked up bass playing because of Justin and joined jazz band my senior year. Tool resonates with creative people the most, that's for sure!
@@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor Probably no better introduction to Tool than 10KD...If you don't love Tool after hearing that album; you're either deaf or stupid...:)...Reading further; I see you're a fellow musician and also; you're delving into Jazz...I have a "Killer Jazz" playlist you might like...th-cam.com/play/PLyJst8qcdCvsmw8ALl2uLqyYVap6rkOAr.html
i agree but i don't think Maynard would agree with you. He most likely would look at your art and call you a fake wanna be copy cat artist and snub his nose at you. I have met him and i don't like him at all. He is a kid that got beat up too much and he hates everyone now...
When you joke about being a genius as if it's an absurd thought , but you really are a genius. Some of the most talented people never realize how talented they really are .
A moment of appreciation for Paul D'Amour, David Bottrill and Sylvia Massey, thank you for highlighting the talented characters who were just as important to their legendary journey. Really appreciative of this docu 🙏🏼 as we say here in Southeast Asia, terima kasih!
Yeah thanks to everyone who helped make each legendary recording...well nobody helped me make this..but it's legend nonthe less th-cam.com/video/bCnocG3ZzoQ/w-d-xo.html
I used to think this rare dynamic between bandmates was something intangible, almost a magical thing. I've started to notice over the years that these bands that just seem to have this organic sound have strong bonds. Not just casual friends, they share a philosophy and a brotherhood. The kind of people you bond with for life and change you as a person. This is an amplifier in the group creative process.
Tool. I remember my dad playing tool in his car all the time, I only remember now as an early fan because the sounds and colours I hear in the songs are the same I heard as a kid, it makes me smile and gives me goosebumps hearing these sounds and this music, very peaceful for the mind.
Here from day one. My favorite band ever. Best memory...1995, Kitsap County Fairgrounds...high, drunk and half hit of acid. Pushed to front of stage after playing in the pit for a bit. Remember seeing Maynards tat and went back to girlfriend and friends freaking out and saying " dude, whoa, he had a tattoo of his spine ON HIS SPINE." I was outta my mind.
One of my most favorite bands and to see live - including the Orpheum in Minneapolis . But also got me through ending my opioid addiction. Their music loud with headphones got me through my deepest withdrawals. Three years clean and still playing them heavily.
Fear Inoculum is the perfect album to me. It has seriously been a gift to have these guys around during the time I have been alive and get to see them play.
I will forever remember the first time I heard TOOL. I remember falling in love with them immediately. I had the privilege of seeing them play at Lalapalooza. I think it was in 95 or 96. Korn tool orbital snoop it was amazing to see them live.
Yep, def ‘97. My first time too. The lead singer of Korn developed meningitis and couldn’t play on our stop. Liked tool, then LOVED tool when I saw them live.
I've always said that Tool sounded like Rush, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd had a menage a trois. Adam explained in Guitar World, years ago, that he wanted a Tool album to be like a Pink Floyd album that you put on and listened to from start to finish. My Man, you nailed it!
Lol that's how I was when Sober came out. Listened to it on repeat. Got away from that album and was into Pearl Jam for years. I remember hearing Schism on the radio and was like eh doesn't do it for me. About a year later I was driving with my ex at night and switched the station and Schism was on during that slow interlude. Glad I didn't change it because I was blown away after that and went home thinking about it and went to get the album the next day. Almost 20 years ago and I still listen to songs from that album once every 2 weeks. I love listening to it with head phones in the dark. I love all their music as well.
Goddamn Maynard said it so right. This isn't about jumping up and down. The majority of our crowd are artists they connect with the music and respect it.
I've had 11 different girlfriends and two dogs since some dude drove by me at McDonalds drive-thru on Main St Newark DE (UD) playing Prison Sex and I stopped to ask him wtf he was listening to This band took me through college, my Advertising career in NY, and finally, my Boilermaker apprenticeship, which is now over, and I'm Journeyman.... I've seen this band 38 times, most between '90 and '94, all over the country This band literally changed my life
Chancellor was such an upgrade. Truly elevated their sound. Alex Grey’s art is exactly what I’ve always kind of imagined their music to “look” like even before they collabed. It’s just the perfect union.
Tool came out when I was 15, so EVERY single song, poetic lyric, intense drumming, guitar and bass and sophisticated riff is hardwired into my brain. I couldn’t sit still listening to this- rocking out in a chronology of their life as tool, and my life too. Everything they do is so unique and just makes sense even though its so left field. When Fear Innoclum came out I put the CD into my car stereo- nearly 3 years later- it hasn’t come out lol. I waited until I was 42 before going to any concert- yip- My first concert was Tool, Fear Innoculum. I never have to go to another concert again. Love love love Tool (and A Perfect Circle). Great documentary.
Tool was one of the first bands that changed me from whatever I listed to as a young kid to what I still listen to these days. I was 9 years old and my dad had just borrowed the new Lateralus CD from his coworker and hearing Schism for the first time blew my mind. Didn't know you were even allowed to make music like that.
Schism was where it started for me too. Seeing the music video on the only music show that was aired in my country when i was 10. I tuned on every day just to see and hear it again.
Really do appreciate the time and effort to build this piece with such synergy in stitching everything together. Raise required for chilebootleg. Real homage to Tool. Thank you
Thank you so much for your work and efforts. TOOL tops my list as one of the greatest bands and musical influences of all-times ..... And watching your documentary brought plenty of smiles and high end energy to my thoughts and thinking ...... Thank you so much.
I am so thankful to be alive during this time. Tool has literally changed my life, i know its cliche but the love of music it has made me appreciate is something that no other music can give me.
Thanks for putting this together. My dad introduced me to Tool, among others, when I was a child. Turned 30 last year and Tool is still at the top in my head
That's what I've always appreciated about Tool. They've survived all the trends since the 1990s (grunge, thrash metal, rap metal, etc. and did their own thing. And continue to take it to the next level each time.
Tool is by far one of my absolute favorite bands. They've always made me think if Pink Floyd came out in the late 80s early 90s. Sometimes I think even as fans we don't appreciate them enough because we don't understand them enough. Their legacy will carry on way longer than most.
I have seen those middle school aged children on TH-cam and the "46 & 2" cover is pretty darn good, esp. from children but I often wondered if they too have an appreciation for the music. It's apparent the music instructor who gave it to them to play is no doubt a fan in charge of probably an entire orchestra sized talent pool who decides that ,"Today, I will show the world my love for Tool!"
Undertow is still to this day one of my favorite pieces of music ever recorded. Gave me a love for "chunky bass lines". I remember buying the tape when it came out in 7th grade or early 93. Tool is one of my favorites, Undertow is their best in my opinion.
This band has brought so much joy into the world. Beautiful masterpieces that defy explanation 😌 Thank you so much for this doc. Its helping my concert withdrawal.
Here’s a story that I must tell. It was the summer of 92. I lived in NYC, graduated art school, it was July in NYC and Fuckin hot! After mountain biking in Central Park with friends , another story, We party and head to CBGBs for the Rollins Band! My favorite band. Opening act has a drum set with a double floor bass. Singer comes out in cut off sweat pants , no shirt and drops a yell/scream and the band than goes to crush The Opiate album. It was 1992 in NYC, Rollins took them on tour. We stood speechless, Tool owned the crowd and we still had Rollins! Rollins was coming off the loss of his roommate. He was held up in Venice CA, gun to their heads. His room mate didn’t make it. To say CBGBs had a show that showed the world , “They will be heard.!” These bands should be in the history of CBGBs and a night in NYC that is legendary. This is a few months to a year that Lollapalooza, Woodstock will make them legends. For me, this night will become one of my top 5 in over 30 years of rock and I partied with Janes Addiction in Brooklyn in 89. True great moment in music history for two bands that rocked arenas and festivals and inspired millions
Back a few years back one of my friends kids heard me playing Tool and he asked excitedly "what the fuck is that!", to which I replied welcome to a new experience kid and gave him my Tool cd , (I needed an excuse to buy a new one anyway). That kid dove deep so deep into Tool he was a fan at an instant, I still couldn't believe he never heard of Tool.
Inb4 this blows up with millions of views. I’m so grateful for this band, their art and the ability to hold such sacred space for experiential exploitation. I’ve had some amazing internal moments with headphones on and Tool talking to my soul.
I one worked on a farm which had John Deer teleporter equipped with a CD player and one summer it’s eject button got jammed so to this day every farm worker has to listen to 10,000 days perpetually muhahaha!!!
I envy you as well. I was in Riverside, CA in '92 but I can't say I was an OGT. I was born in 1971 and something was missing musically in the late 1980's. After my first paycheck in 1987 I bought all the Beatles CDs, migrated to Zeppelin and then Floyd. As with many in my age group, Nirvana brought life back to music and then Tool entered my life. Been spiraling out ever since.
I didn't think id sit here and watch the full 41 minutes of this documentary (who am I kidding of course I would) but as a huge TOOL fan I was immediately sucked in. From start to finish I was completely attentive in my old Dolby surround sound speakers listening to the guys talk about this that and the other, hearing the songs I've listened to for years in the background, it just took me over for a while and I needed that, just like I needed this band to appear in my life. An absolute beautiful job making this video, and I thank you for it.
I saw my first tool concert last year for my 13th birthday, best day of my life, i may not be an OGT but god damn, i feel like one. Also mastered all their songs on my guitar, hopefully Adam or one of them notices
That's so cool. You don't have to be an OGT to be part of the fam. You have awesome taste and you've experienced a beautiful live show that will stay with you forever. Rock on!!
I appreciate that comment but truthfully where the real power comes in is the 6th best band. My top 5 bands are the same as yours and the 6th is....wait for it... TOOL. LOL. I say that as The Patient is playing in the background. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Justin, Danny, Adam and Maynard (and Paul) as well as the person who put this documentary together.
They just changed my life, will never forget this 1st October 1993 when saw them live for the fist time. Didn't know who they were, they opened for Fishbone, it was love at first sight, I totally changed my way of listening to music since this day. I must admit I cried when I saw them again, because of this emotion still the same than when I was 23. Thank you for this video
First time seeing Tool was in 2001. Lateralus tour. My god that was something special. Saw then 2 more times the following summer. Incredible. I cried during the Fear Inoculum show however. I hadn't seen them since 2006 and my emotions took over. I was all feels that night. So beautiful. I feel you man 😌
Man I saw Fishbone in a little bar in South Mississippi and nobody knew who they were but about 20 of us. At the time I had Opiate and the first time I was able to catch tool was on their first Lollapalooza tour and they were incredible. Rage played before them if I remember right and that day was incredible. I saw 3 Lollapalooza tours in New Orleans and that year had ...Primus, Alice in Chains, Dinosaur Jr., Fishbone, Arrested Development, Front 242, Babes in Toyland, Tool, Rage Against The Machine.... and costarring LSD in the crowd.
The band is a phenomenon!!!!! They just keep thriving by doing it their way no matter how much the musical landscape and world changes around them. That’s a testament to how good the music is they’re making
First and foremost- Tool is such an incredible band. Been jamming to them since I was a youngin'. Bummed they got stormed out at Epicenter in '19. Secondly- As soon as they mentioned chocolate chip cookies I just jaw dropped. 😂 I just listened and tripped on shrooms to Chocolate Chip Trip last night and it was an ~*experience*~. Thirdly- Really love the little shout-out to Rush and Neil Peart. Rush is one of my favorite bands of all time and I can definitely see how it's possible Tool was inspired by them. This was a really well done doc. Glad I watched. ☺️
Maynard tapping into things to be adressed (4:50) and Adams tapping into the unconscious of the listener by reducing to the primal (26:00) plus Danny phrasing it in 4 interlocking polyrhythms (39:20) is quite the essence of Tool to me. Georgeous work. Thank you!
Danny Cary hands down is the best drummer on the planet. I think he’s an Alien possibly from another planet or solar system.One thing is for certain he’s a drum percussionist God!
Been playing drums since I was 15 I'm 38 now and I still can't play every Tool song. The best music I've ever heard hands down , nothing even comes remotely close
Hard to believe we played with Tool at a club" right in the beginning we knew they were the Shit...(: "Mysteria" was the name of our band. They said we killed it and i think we had a 2 to 1 ratio of the audience...(: Was so awsome to see them grow in a very tough industry no matter how good you are..!
Thank you god for allowing these incredibly talented musicians and vocalist to meet and get together to create the most powerful mindblowing music my ears have ever heard. They have taken my soul to other levels another realm that is just amazing. Gods lord do I LOVE this band. From the first time I heard them at 13 yrs old watching g headbangers ball in the middle of the night. Now at 46 I am still taken to another realm and beyond with their incredible sound and I’m so proud that my daughter is taken By them just as much and we have shared the live experience together. 🙏🏼
The aenema producer is so humble, but to this I can put that album on and it's a new journey every time. Every time that while album just flows through my veins and I absolutely love it
As OGT from 99 I extend my most humble gratitudes to you my dude... Thank you for creating what we all have been waiting for. A legit TooL Documentary.
Thank you for the video. It was really cool, and interesting. Embarrassingly, at the ripe age of 55, I have just recently started to listen to Tool’s music. I was aware of them, but never really took the plunge so to speak. Funny enough, it was due to TH-cam’s algorithm that somehow decided that I should watch a “School of Rock” student’s video of them covering Lateralus. I was blown away by the music’s artistry, and floored by the complex time changes. So, I thought to myself, if these kids (14 to 18yrs old) could play this, and make it sound so good, I have to listen to the actual artist. Fortunately for me, Tool decided to open up their complete library to streaming services, and I immediately began downloading every album from Apple Music. So, yes, I’m incredibly late to the party, but better late than never. I’m still listening through their albums. Once I start getting into new music (at least for me), I end up playing each album countless times before moving on to the next. It’s a process. Lol. Anyway, thanks again for the video, and thank you Tool for your incredible work.
Thanks for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I became a Tool fan in 1992 at the age of 13 in the Canadian city of Windsor Ontario watching much music. I’ve seen them 8 times. Tool is my 19 year old sons’ favorite band. Brought him to 3 shows so far. I went to 3 Tool shows by myself. Not many bands can influence musicians from every instrument. Rush, Dream Theater and TooL are all bands that do this. All three of those bands are real musicians and their music will influence more musicians through the future centuries than any other genres musically. Just my opinion, but I’m sure I’m not the only person that thinks this. Cheers
AEnima is just a masterpiece of capturing Tools sound. When I saw them live in 97 I could have sworn they were playing the CD backstage and pretending to play instruments. I sounded that perfect.
Tool is something unique in this world. They have the gravitas of a godly band. I'm from Mexico, and very rarely they have stepped on this land to impart their gospel. Having them in concert at Cumbre Tajin festival in 2014 was a major feat! I can't begin to tell you about the harmony and connection between them and that huge mass of fans that attended... Then Schism started to play, and everyone just surrendered and lost themselves completely in the soundscape. When the verse transitions entered that long sustained tone, all you could hear was a single voice, band and audience singing in perfect pitch... I felt paralyzed with bliss and awe, and I knew that my lifeforce was waiting to bask in that very moment since the first time I heard their music...
A fantastic amalgam of footage from concerts, archives, interviews, and such. Thanks for keeping the TOOL people fed, since the band only does it once per decade or so!
Two of the best music docs I’ve ever seen were made by fans on TH-cam. This one. Also Metallica Hypnotizing Power. This is a new thing and it’s great 👍
It's official, Tool formed simply because Danny, God of The Drum felt sorry for them.
Lol hell yeah so shout out to that drummer that keep flaking out on them we wouldn't have tool because of that😁
Kinda true..lol.
Similar to Gavin, but not as good.
Jkjkjk! I love them both.
Quite simply, one of THE BEST rock bands to have ever materialized in our lifetime. Such a neurological treat to the senses.
This had me laugh, thank you
They hit the jackpot with Danny. So many drummers wouldn’t of been able to compliment and raise the music up the way he did. So many pro level drummers wouldn’t even.
Yup 10 million dollar ticket
undeniably one of the greatest technical drummers to grace the earth !!!
No disrespect, but Danny makes drummers like Travis Barker look like a 5th grade talent show contestant. And that's truly not a dig at Travis Barker, more a compliment to be mentioned in the same sentence as Danny. You can't truly understand Danny's talent til you see him live, it's truly superhuman...

"Female" had nothing to do with it.

@@jeffkuper8139 I'd entirely blame the interviewer. That's why backward narratives continue to plague us.
This was really cool. Around the time when Undertow came out I wrote a letter with a picture I drew of them on stage asking why they're were no lyrics in the cd pages. Obviously I loved the music. I really like jamming to music with the words. For me it helps me to understand some of the meaning of the tunes which kind of links it together. TOOL sent me a package with four sheets of lyrics,, a demo cassette and a order form to get some stuff they were selling. I ended up with three other news letters from them about the band and reading material suggested by Maynard. Well.. I sent my 12 bucks in for the TOOL logo shirt and still have everything they sent me. That was the coolest thing ever. I've seen them twice in Michigan. The BEST shows I've ever seen!

@@TheMellowYellowDrummer Perhaps uninformed. Perhaps you could inform them. Maybe? Apparently not.
My 3 year old son prefers Green Jello to Tool in 2022. Anybody who does not know about Green Jello is wrong. Adam Jones was partially responsible for what happened at Jurassic Park. Deeper into the spiral we fall!

Why.. he said that after Fear Inoculum
He's being cheeky, which actually suggests he has enough of a bug up his arse to make another record nowish, only 5 years after FI.This comment from him made me smile thinking it won't be that long.
I’ve seen all of these clips over the years. Considering that quality concert footage and interview material for Tool is limited, and often difficult to find, I think that you’ve done an outstanding job piecing it all together. Kudos to you for your time and effort. Much appreciated 👍
Yes!!! That old Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty clip and footage of the live Opiate recordings and Henry Rollins in the studio for Undertow was awesome!!!!
Same here this was a really great edit of so many clips, interviews, podcasts etc. Good shit👌

Who's AWAKE in 2021?
Arguably the smartest decision in the band's history
Great desicion, no outside force control, pure passion and talent that will last century or more.
Fast forward to the part where they say they were not ALLOWED to release new music. This wonderful decision didn't end up doing fans any favors
I'm pretty sure that footage of Matt Pinfield introducing Ænima on 120 Minutes is from my channel, and if so, I just want to say how delighted my mom would be to know that it ended up as part of someone's Tool doc. She's the reason it exists. We saw Tool together on 11/23/96 in Philly and she became a huge fan of them afterwards, so much so that she taped over one of my WWF wrestling VHSs with that 120 Minutes footage. I only found it last year while digitizing old tapes salvaged from her house. Thanks Barb!
What a great back story.

Wow dude. That’s fuckin crazy beautiful.

Too many rock stars end up dead or washed up. I'm thankful these men had enough maturity and humility to stay creatively active. I could see TOOL albums lasting longer than Mozart's work. That's how much respect they deserve because the music on the last 3 albums has been timeless, layered and intelligent to the point that its simply on a higher plane than most music out there. They're the Monet of Metal!
!!
I’m just a massive fan ,👁🌀👁and have been a fan for 30yrs. And then they make the best for last👁🌀👁Fear Inoculum is in MY opinion a point of no return ever, can they come down to earth .
The rest of the crap comes out and I’m just numb and in wonder of what the hell was that, musing around was the rush of the production you feeling the synncrynized best That is a perfect analogy for TOOL👁
When you are in your bedroom and thinking of the way it is expressed to you and, so blessed to be inoculated by your favorite Music , and is the way to get to the masses Getting all and more than ever before the new Tool Fans are very much more fun to get riled up about it because the people who are willing to question their own authority climb the ladder to greater heights .
the best people I’ve seen in a band and know that they have a like Minded motitives , And endeavors that usually have no relationship with the other parts that go intolerable fans are will always be questioned , but in a nutshell they are completely, and Alone shit are you gonna approach it with caution or a lot of emotions and experience the connection to the company that you keep is important too and then A section of brain that is connected to it and practically anyone with the same common sense of what the goal is for the Band and then long term is it going to be a closer looking forward? they are completely spontaneous and they are killing it with the shows they have no competition for show and sound and that alone makes the LEGENDARY PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHANGED THEIR OWN WORLDS, .and ours is in the ride they give us. I’m not gonna cry ,👁🌀👁maybe , BLESS THIS IMMUNITY AND THE TOOL COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME WITH KILLING IT ALL ,and opening up my Own third Eye THE WAY .
Monet is Mozart and neither is Tool, but they are very very bad ass and I Love them.

Best band of their generation, and one of the greatest bands of all time. They created their own sound, their own genre, their own thing. Of the times, yet timeless. Just brilliant.
I recently took my dad along to see tool live, he's a fan but not a superfan like me. After seeing tool live on an eighth of shrooms, he said it was the best show he's ever been too, and that tool is essentially a hippie, good vibe, psychedelic jam band that is classic rock, heavy metal, and alt rock all at once. And the biggest impression we were left with was the insane technical and artistic talent they all have that is truly unmatched. Even 20+ years later their live show rocks harder than kiss or metallica ever did in their prime.
@@ElfisheryThat's excellent! I've seen them 20 or so times, some heroic doses included along the way, and they never disappoint.
@celestialscripture Tool's great as it is, but on psychedelics it's a whole other experience, one of a kind. The songs have truly deep and esoteric meaning you can't really appreciate while not in an elevated state of consciousness.
Couldn’t even imagine a world where these 4 guys didn’t make this magical music together ! And yes Adam, you are in a band with one of the best drummers in the world without a doubt.
Imagine the movie Yesterday but instead of the beatles, its Tool. Frikkin nightmare indeed.
Danny Carey might just be the best drummer in the world.
It's debatable, what is NOT debatable is that he's definitely up there and anyone who knows what they're talking about will at least mention his name if that subject is ever introduced.
He's definitely my favorite drummer probably of all time. Brann Dailor is pretty good too, in fact he and Danny Carey did some promotional drum duet thing and it's amazing.
@@voteZDLR An instructor in the music conservatory at the college I attended referred to him as a “human metronome”. It’s true.
@@voteZDLR Thomas Lang is a killer drummer also
@Nanipu83 Dudes better than a metronome. He's like 4 of them at a time
TOOL doesn't just create music, they create sonic artwork. Their collection of music is a masterpiece, every bit as important and significant as Beethoven's greatest compositions
If I werent alive during TOOL's reign, I would think of the band as a fable.. A unicorn! They truely are one of a kind and im afraid this type of music stopps with TOOL. Im forever grateful for this band and my dad for showing me Eulogy in his car when I was 13. We were out fishing salmon and I was wet and cold, but I forgot all about that when I heard TOOL for the first time.
Yes same a mate at school gave me the opiate ep in 95 wow blew me away
And the I heard undertow and ... wow
Euology was the first track of Tool I listened. I got hooked on this... drug
@@josemanuelbellidoperez8130 I know, right? :D
It was aenima for me. I think 99? Oh and stinkfist on triple J’s hottest 100. A song countdown vote thing a big radio station here in Australia do.
It clicked. But only those 2 songs until lateralus came out. I’ll admit, I’ve never seen them live, I’m not the biggest fan, and I don’t know every single song off by heart - yet. I do love them, but not like other music I listen to. And each time I rediscover (being maybe listened to once or twice years and years ago) songs, my mind gets blown. It’s like hearing it for the first time. In particular 10,000 days. For some reason didn’t get into it at the time. Still don’t know the track list. But every time I hear a song I only heard once or twice this time around, it sets in. I love it. Fear innoculum, for me, is their best work. The musicianship and musicality is insane in that album. A true magnum opus. I know it very well. Like lateralus. Anyhow, peace everyone. Damn I wish I bought tix to the last tour! Haha next time :)
Also thank Uncle Al. The one and only Singer of Ministry. So the story goes from Maynard interview, and AL has positively gave Maynard a drink with liquid Acid at Lallopoloza changed Tools Direction forever and we are grateful.
Somehow, Tool wasn't on my radar until about six months ago when I ran across Danny Carey's Pneuma video. I immediately had to have more of that. Now I can't stop listening to these guys. I mean, how in the hell did I not know about them after being a reformed drummer and Rush fan since 1978? Anyway, I'm stuck on Invincible. What an incredible accomplishment.
Next step is a concert.....tho we have been on hold recently
had / have the same experience as you, Nick ;) Danny is absolutely on a new level of playing drums (like Neil was). Invincible and Descending are incredible arrangements ... Greetings from Germany, Marcus
@@m.h.7912 Wie gehts, Marcus? Yes. Like Neil, Danny's compositions are incredible. I have always been attracted to drummers that are very 'busy' but yet musical. I just love his seemingly effortless use of polyrhythms... especially in Pneuma. It's incredible to watch. If I was still playing, I could practice for a hundred years would not be able to play those parts.
@@logiman 👍 😉
Dude. I too was born in ‘78? and never got into Tool, until 2020. My brother came to town, and he’s a huge Tool fan. He had an extra ticket to the Nashville show on January 29th, and asked if I wanted to go. I said sure, since we rarely see each other. I went just to hang out with my brother, but became an instant fan before the first song was over which was Fear Inocculum. Actually had bought tickets to the Witchita show for June 2020 then came the cancellations. I’m forever grateful to my brother for turning me on to Tool.

What Maynard is saying from 17:00 is profound in that the people in the Tool audience are mostly artist, so they are more forgiving and appreciate the work for its artistic value. Everyone I know that is a true Tool music lover is an artist in one sense or another...
That really resonated with me, cause I've always been an artistic type as well, and I fell deep in love with tool when I first delved into them around 03-04. I was a freshman in high school and then 10kD came out when I was a junior and so it really shaped my experience. I picked up bass playing because of Justin and joined jazz band my senior year. Tool resonates with creative people the most, that's for sure!

I used to think this rare dynamic between bandmates was something intangible, almost a magical thing. I've started to notice over the years that these bands that just seem to have this organic sound have strong bonds. Not just casual friends, they share a philosophy and a brotherhood. The kind of people you bond with for life and change you as a person. This is an amplifier in the group creative process.
Tool. I remember my dad playing tool in his car all the time, I only remember now as an early fan because the sounds and colours I hear in the songs are the same I heard as a kid, it makes me smile and gives me goosebumps hearing these sounds and this music, very peaceful for the mind.
Yes.
Nice.
Here from day one. My favorite band ever. Best memory...1995, Kitsap County Fairgrounds...high, drunk and half hit of acid. Pushed to front of stage after playing in the pit for a bit. Remember seeing Maynards tat and went back to girlfriend and friends freaking out and saying " dude, whoa, he had a tattoo of his spine ON HIS SPINE." I was outta my mind.
I was there. First TOOL concert for me as well. Now I’ve seen them close to 50 times.
i felt the same exact way when i saw them on lollapalooza 97.
You sure it wasn’t 1994? I saw them in 94 with Layne Staley making a guest appearance
😂😂😂 sound like one of my people. 🤘❤️
But I was also at that show! Saw soundgarden the next day
One of my most favorite bands and to see live - including the Orpheum in Minneapolis . But also got me through ending my opioid addiction. Their music loud with headphones got me through my deepest withdrawals. Three years clean and still playing them heavily.
More will be Revealed. I am 20 years in to being SOBER. Keep coming back!...
Fuck yeah!! Hope you are still going strong!!
@@jachconi Thanks! Still clean and rocking!
Fear Inoculum is the perfect album to me. It has seriously been a gift to have these guys around during the time I have been alive and get to see them play.
I will forever remember the first time I heard TOOL. I remember falling in love with them immediately. I had the privilege of seeing them play at Lalapalooza. I think it was in 95 or 96. Korn tool orbital snoop it was amazing to see them live.
That was 97. My first time seeing them as well.
Yes that was in 97. My first time seeing Tool!
Yep, def ‘97. My first time too. The lead singer of Korn developed meningitis and couldn’t play on our stop. Liked tool, then LOVED tool when I saw them live.
They are, indeed, the sharpest TOOL in the shed.

I've always said that Tool sounded like Rush, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd had a menage a trois. Adam explained in Guitar World, years ago, that he wanted a Tool album to be like a Pink Floyd album that you put on and listened to from start to finish.

Really? I mean, I like it and everything, but better than Lateralus and Aenima? Not even close
@MrFreeGman your opinion
My son turned me on to Tool Laturalus. Now I cant get enough. I listen to them daily; mostly when Im cooking. I love all their music.
Lol that's how I was when Sober came out. Listened to it on repeat. Got away from that album and was into Pearl Jam for years. I remember hearing Schism on the radio and was like eh doesn't do it for me. About a year later I was driving with my ex at night and switched the station and Schism was on during that slow interlude. Glad I didn't change it because I was blown away after that and went home thinking about it and went to get the album the next day. Almost 20 years ago and I still listen to songs from that album once every 2 weeks. I love listening to it with head phones in the dark. I love all their music as well.
What a wonderful gift for a son to give his father. Welcome to the family Tim. 🙂
Fear Innoculum is the most underrated album. It’s a masterpiece. You have to listen to it multiple times to fully appreciate it.
Goddamn Maynard said it so right. This isn't about jumping up and down. The majority of our crowd are artists they connect with the music and respect it.
I've had 11 different girlfriends and two dogs since some dude drove by me at McDonalds drive-thru on Main St Newark DE (UD) playing Prison Sex and I stopped to ask him wtf he was listening to
This band took me through college, my Advertising career in NY, and finally, my Boilermaker apprenticeship, which is now over, and I'm Journeyman....
I've seen this band 38 times, most between '90 and '94, all over the country
This band literally changed my life
Nice!
Chancellor was such an upgrade. Truly elevated their sound. Alex Grey’s art is exactly what I’ve always kind of imagined their music to “look” like even before they collabed. It’s just the perfect union.
39:48 Octopus drummer in his natural habitat, being praised by the spooky claymaster guitar genius
Tool came out when I was 15, so EVERY single song, poetic lyric, intense drumming, guitar and bass and sophisticated riff is hardwired into my brain. I couldn’t sit still listening to this- rocking out in a chronology of their life as tool, and my life too. Everything they do is so unique and just makes sense even though its so left field. When Fear Innoclum came out I put the CD into my car stereo- nearly 3 years later- it hasn’t come out lol. I waited until I was 42 before going to any concert- yip- My first concert was Tool, Fear Innoculum. I never have to go to another concert again. Love love love Tool (and A Perfect Circle). Great documentary.
Well I mean you could go to another TOOL concert 😂 I'm about to see them for the 3rd time, and it's just as exciting as the first!
Tool was one of the first bands that changed me from whatever I listed to as a young kid to what I still listen to these days. I was 9 years old and my dad had just borrowed the new Lateralus CD from his coworker and hearing Schism for the first time blew my mind. Didn't know you were even allowed to make music like that.
Schism was where it started for me too. Seeing the music video on the only music show that was aired in my country when i was 10. I tuned on every day just to see and hear it again.

Tool is by far one of my absolute favorite bands. They've always made me think if Pink Floyd came out in the late 80s early 90s. Sometimes I think even as fans we don't appreciate them enough because we don't understand them enough. Their legacy will carry on way longer than most.
I have seen those middle school aged children on TH-cam and the "46 & 2" cover is pretty darn good, esp. from children but I often wondered if they too have an appreciation for the music. It's apparent the music instructor who gave it to them to play is no doubt a fan in charge of probably an entire orchestra sized talent pool who decides that ,"Today, I will show the world my love for Tool!"
Amazing job on this doc, the best I've ever seen on the band
Undertow is still to this day one of my favorite pieces of music ever recorded. Gave me a love for "chunky bass lines". I remember buying the tape when it came out in 7th grade or early 93. Tool is one of my favorites, Undertow is their best in my opinion.
This band has brought so much joy into the world. Beautiful masterpieces that defy explanation 😌 Thank you so much for this doc. Its helping my concert withdrawal.
Nicely put.
Here’s a story that I must tell. It was the summer of 92. I lived in NYC, graduated art school, it was July in NYC and Fuckin hot! After mountain biking in Central Park with friends , another story, We party and head to CBGBs for the Rollins Band! My favorite band. Opening act has a drum set with a double floor bass. Singer comes out in cut off sweat pants , no shirt and drops a yell/scream and the band than goes to crush The Opiate album. It was 1992 in NYC, Rollins took them on tour. We stood speechless, Tool owned the crowd and we still had Rollins!
Rollins was coming off the loss of his roommate. He was held up in Venice CA, gun to their heads. His room mate didn’t make it. To say CBGBs had a show that showed the world , “They will be heard.!” These bands should be in the history of CBGBs and a night in NYC that is legendary. This is a few months to a year that Lollapalooza, Woodstock will make them legends. For me, this night will become one of my top 5 in over 30 years of rock and I partied with Janes Addiction in Brooklyn in 89. True great moment in music history for two bands that rocked arenas and festivals and inspired millions
Back a few years back one of my friends kids heard me playing Tool and he asked excitedly "what the fuck is that!", to which I replied welcome to a new experience kid and gave him my Tool cd , (I needed an excuse to buy a new one anyway). That kid dove deep so deep into Tool he was a fan at an instant, I still couldn't believe he never heard of Tool.
Lol you changed his life.
Inb4 this blows up with millions of views.
I’m so grateful for this band, their art and the ability to hold such sacred space for experiential exploitation. I’ve had some amazing internal moments with headphones on and Tool talking to my soul.

@@jeffkuper8139 I love your 6th
Word
@@jeffkuper8139 gosh. My mom has always said I was obsessed.... thank you for normalizing the “Tool Army”. 😉
Justin was the missing piece. Once they all came together it was magical!
They just changed my life, will never forget this 1st October 1993 when saw them live for the fist time. Didn't know who they were, they opened for Fishbone, it was love at first sight, I totally changed my way of listening to music since this day.
I must admit I cried when I saw them again, because of this emotion still the same than when I was 23.
Thank you for this video
First time seeing Tool was in 2001. Lateralus tour. My god that was something special. Saw then 2 more times the following summer. Incredible. I cried during the Fear Inoculum show however. I hadn't seen them since 2006 and my emotions took over. I was all feels that night. So beautiful. I feel you man 😌
Man I saw Fishbone in a little bar in South Mississippi and nobody knew who they were but about 20 of us. At the time I had Opiate and the first time I was able to catch tool was on their first Lollapalooza tour and they were incredible. Rage played before them if I remember right and that day was incredible. I saw 3 Lollapalooza tours in New Orleans and that year had ...Primus, Alice in Chains, Dinosaur Jr., Fishbone, Arrested Development, Front 242, Babes in Toyland, Tool, Rage Against The Machine.... and costarring LSD in the crowd.
I saw tool 6 times in the early to mid 90s and once 2 years ago. All great shows. But nothing compare to seeing them in the 90s.
Having never seen your work, I was skeptical when I saw this in my suggestions. Happy to say I was blown away by this! Great job! 🤘
The band is a phenomenon!!!!! They just keep thriving by doing it their way no matter how much the musical landscape and world changes around them. That’s a testament to how good the music is they’re making
First and foremost- Tool is such an incredible band. Been jamming to them since I was a youngin'. Bummed they got stormed out at Epicenter in '19.
Secondly- As soon as they mentioned chocolate chip cookies I just jaw dropped. 😂 I just listened and tripped on shrooms to Chocolate Chip Trip last night and it was an ~*experience*~.
Thirdly- Really love the little shout-out to Rush and Neil Peart. Rush is one of my favorite bands of all time and I can definitely see how it's possible Tool was inspired by them.
This was a really well done doc. Glad I watched. ☺️
Maynard tapping into things to be adressed (4:50) and Adams tapping into the unconscious of the listener by reducing to the primal (26:00) plus Danny phrasing it in 4 interlocking polyrhythms (39:20) is quite the essence of Tool to me. Georgeous work. Thank you!
Greatest band ever
Danny Cary hands down is the best drummer on the planet. I think he’s an Alien possibly from another planet or solar system.One thing is for certain he’s a drum percussionist God!
Been playing drums since I was 15 I'm 38 now and I still can't play every Tool song. The best music I've ever heard hands down , nothing even comes remotely close
Hard to believe we played with Tool at a club" right in the beginning we knew they were the Shit...(: "Mysteria" was the name of our band. They said we killed it and i think we had a 2 to 1 ratio of the audience...(: Was so awsome to see them grow in a very tough industry no matter how good you are..!
Cool story
Adam always looks so happy. I love it
I listen with artist ears!! TOOL makes me so happy!!! Love their ART!
Fantastic documentary. Loved every second. Spiral out!
Undertow and Aenima changed my life and how I listen to music. Aenima is still my favorite album ever 25 years later.
Thank you god for allowing these incredibly talented musicians and vocalist to meet and get together to create the most powerful mindblowing music my ears have ever heard. They have taken my soul to other levels another realm that is just amazing. Gods lord do I LOVE this band. From the first time I heard them at 13 yrs old watching g headbangers ball in the middle of the night. Now at 46 I am still taken to another realm and beyond with their incredible sound and I’m so proud that my daughter is taken By them just as much and we have shared the live experience together. 🙏🏼
I had to wait till I was 28 till I watched Tool live. One of the best concerts ever.
The aenema producer is so humble, but to this I can put that album on and it's a new journey every time. Every time that while album just flows through my veins and I absolutely love it
I would say 46&2 is in my top 5 songs of all time.That's how awesome I think that song is.Def one of the best bass lines ever.
As OGT from 99 I extend my most humble gratitudes to you my dude... Thank you for creating what we all have been waiting for. A legit TooL Documentary.
Awesome Documentary!!! I enjoyed every minute of it! thanks for posting....
Thank you for the video. It was really cool, and interesting. Embarrassingly, at the ripe age of 55, I have just recently started to listen to Tool’s music. I was aware of them, but never really took the plunge so to speak. Funny enough, it was due to TH-cam’s algorithm that somehow decided that I should watch a “School of Rock” student’s video of them covering Lateralus. I was blown away by the music’s artistry, and floored by the complex time changes. So, I thought to myself, if these kids (14 to 18yrs old) could play this, and make it sound so good, I have to listen to the actual artist. Fortunately for me, Tool decided to open up their complete library to streaming services, and I immediately began downloading every album from Apple Music. So, yes, I’m incredibly late to the party, but better late than never. I’m still listening through their albums. Once I start getting into new music (at least for me), I end up playing each album countless times before moving on to the next. It’s a process. Lol. Anyway, thanks again for the video, and thank you Tool for your incredible work.
Thanks for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I became a Tool fan in 1992 at the age of 13 in the Canadian city of Windsor Ontario watching much music. I’ve seen them 8 times. Tool is my 19 year old sons’ favorite band. Brought him to 3 shows so far. I went to 3 Tool shows by myself. Not many bands can influence musicians from every instrument. Rush, Dream Theater and TooL are all bands that do this. All three of those bands are real musicians and their music will influence more musicians through the future centuries than any other genres musically. Just my opinion, but I’m sure I’m not the only person that thinks this. Cheers
Very good doc. It’s because of these types of unofficial documentaries that I watch this as tv now
AEnima is just a masterpiece of capturing Tools sound. When I saw them live in 97 I could have sworn they were playing the CD backstage and pretending to play instruments. I sounded that perfect.
A must for any Tool fan. New or old
Tool is something unique in this world. They have the gravitas of a godly band. I'm from Mexico, and very rarely they have stepped on this land to impart their gospel. Having them in concert at Cumbre Tajin festival in 2014 was a major feat! I can't begin to tell you about the harmony and connection between them and that huge mass of fans that attended... Then Schism started to play, and everyone just surrendered and lost themselves completely in the soundscape. When the verse transitions entered that long sustained tone, all you could hear was a single voice, band and audience singing in perfect pitch... I felt paralyzed with bliss and awe, and I knew that my lifeforce was waiting to bask in that very moment since the first time I heard their music...
Dude, well done! :) Better than these non-licensed DVD biographies that circulated years ago.
Agreed, except he called Aenima “enema”...How can you be a Tool fan and still think the record is titled enema?
Whenever someone asks me who my favorite musical artist is and they don't know Tool, I'll send them this!
Wow. Ive seen documentaries that cost tons of money to make that aren't as good as this. Great job
A fantastic amalgam of footage from concerts, archives, interviews, and such. Thanks for keeping the TOOL people fed, since the band only does it once per decade or so!
Two of the best music docs I’ve ever seen were made by fans on TH-cam. This one. Also Metallica Hypnotizing Power. This is a new thing and it’s great 👍
Can't believe I just watched this for free. Amazing job! Thank you 🙏🏼
This is a great bootleg documentary, lots of footage and interviews I've never seen before. Well done, thanks for this
It’s hard not to cry….Because his message is quit clear….. Be humble my friends……
