I’ve been on the planet for 50 years now & for as long as I can remember I’ve always loved music & im proud to be a part of generation that not only altered the musical landscape we owned it & I can say without fear of doubt that TOOL is the best band on the planet ....no one comes close
After a lifetime of being a Tool fan i finally was able to see them live. It was hands down the best show I have ever been to. Everyone walking out after the show seemed like they were taken to another level.
He's singing about the state of California or the L.A. area in particular. About seeing it sink into the ocean after the bug earthquake. Arizona being land locked will suddenly have a bay. MJK lives in a small town in Arizona.
Ms DarkstaR I think he gets way to many comments to read them all. Was hoping he’d see this one. Probably didn’t. But he’s got really genuine reactions.
Hey that's not fair, Mankind is helping with our ever increasing C02 emissions. We're going to drown CA in a couple years ... and most of our current coastlines ... and irrevocably damage our ecosystem beyond repair ...
Was going to comment this before I saw so I just liked this comment and hopefully he will review that next! It's called "the golden triad" and it's an absolute masterpiece that is also just like a spiritual awakening for the soul! When it hits you it will make you realize just how genius Tool actually is it will make you realize alot of things about life and how we are all connected and how our own personal egos and our pride are meaningless and in many cases could even cause our own demise.. Tool is on another level compared to almost any other band and NO I don't have to get high to enjoy TOOL..they are like a natural high for me. The whole Lateralus album in my opinion is their best album and is something that will sound amazing generations from now in my humble opinion. Tool is definately like the new age Pink Floyd but they have their own unique style that no other band can imitate.
I never thought of the 'learn to swim' as problems building up. Interesting. I never thought of it that way. This is why I watch these reactions, to see other interpretations and learn more!
"Learn to Swim" Through The Bullshit of LA, or anywhere that rewards plastic and fake. Learn to Swim Through the onslaught of Willful and Celebrated ignorance, .Learn to swim in this new Social construct, or Drown in the resulting Cesspool by becoming one with it..
I think what's grooviest about these reactions is how open people are now to listen to music not in their lane. When this came out, rap fans listened to rap, metalheads to metal, and we kind of stuck to ourselves. But now rappers are listening to Tool, pop artists are listening to hip-hop, metal artists are vibing on pop, everybody's checking out stuff from each other in ways we didn't before. It's really nifty how all the "tribes" are meeting, interacting, and appreciating each other more and more. It makes me hopeful for our future, because appreciating each other is the first step towards caring for each other and actually improving the world.
@@goalie2998 I'm trying to remember which was which noe, because I just realized that I flipped the sleeve to the front cover when I got it new. Was the sleeve the one that made CA disappear & made AZ the coast, or what was the other side?
I want to see Jamal’s take on “Eulogy.” I’ve read what most people think it’s about as well as several different things Maynard says it’s really about.
It's about killing your ego. Apparently this album is based of the book of the dead. The first song is about letting go of sexual pleasure, eulogy about ego, and so on leading the end. Don't forget the cookie recipe they did as well lol.
I’m glad you appreciate the consciousness behind the music. TOOL is the band that made me realize (when I was 16) that the world isn’t the way people try to make you believe it is. Think for yourself!
In a certain book father told someone to build a really big ass boat. Flooded the whole thing just to get a fresh start. One of my favorite songs ever love it. Thank God I swim Three times a week.
A mix of that and the California New Age scene of the time as embodied in the book "Nothing In This Book Is True..." which got into the 46+2 idea, the 3rd eye idea, the merkobah idea they got into on Salival, and a bunch of other ideas that were all around for a long time anyway but were pushed into the scene by that book.
There were themes throughout the album that were Hicks' concepts on which they expanded. Third Eye is an example of this, hence the addition of the snippet from Bill's bit about the war on drugs. I would say that the writing process for the album was heavily influenced by the pass8ng of their friend.
So much larger than L.A. This consumer/corporate culture which is really a death culture. Learn to swim. Learn to regenerate the land. I'm blown away that TOOL puts this to music and lyrics with such spiritual power.
This song is based off ideas presented by my favorite comedian Bill Hicks R.I.P... Maynard said Bill Hicks and tool were trying to get the same message across.. Bill Hicks changed my life.. He said he hoped California fell off the map leaving Arizona Bay.. This album was dedicated to Bill, i love the drawing of Maynard and Bill on the album artwork
Very true!! I was 22 when this came out was backstage for all the shows in wi and Chicago.too much fun!! Just think people can’t even see a concert today!!
@@johnpowell8188 I live in Tennessee. We only stopped having concerts for a few months back in 2020. It’s been pretty normal down here, I was at a show last night
I was in Nashville back in February I live in Milwaukee name 1 show with an audience of more than 5000 people. The virus aka plandemic. Idiots are still wearing masks there just like here.
@@johnpowell8188 I’m in Chattanooga and we’ve already had music festivals. Jason Aldean is playing this week. I’m sure that will be more than 5,000 people. I don’t listen to country though.. I don’t remember who all have been through town recently. I know there were some big acts that played but nothing I’d see. Bonnaroo is coming up soon also. That’ll be 70,000 people.
Man I appreciate ya!! You are genuinely moved by some of my favorite music. I’m a tool nut BUT you were caught off guard by Pink Floyd shine on you crazy diamond huh? That is some amazing shit right there!!!
Love it brother. Ive been a die hard Tool fan since 92! I was 13 then 41 now. Wow. Only band i personally have ever truly loved. Thank you for breaking the meaning down for those mentally less fortunate. I agree whole heartedly with this track. Flush it down
You get it! I really do love your uploads and seeing you experience certain songs for the first time I get jealous of you. I'll never experience that again.
I love this song. Takes me back to Bayridge Brooklyn days. I lived many ending. WTC 911, later mom past and last my beloved cat. Done with NY headed to Florida into Hurricane after hurricane but the night clubs, beaches, warm air and parties balanced it all out. I am still standing.
A perfect circle? 3 libras or Judith Have you heard any of those songs, with the same lead singer. Same with the band Pucifer. Undertaker is one of the songs I think
I just saw Tool live on Friday night, they should be witnessed live AT ALL COSTS! I've seen many bands and I've never seen anything like the Tool gig. They're definately worth travelling to see too. Bucket list band y'all!
He said that when I was a kid I’ve seen hundreds of shows backstage everything from operas to ozzy. That’s why I looked up this song today cause it’s going too be miserable going forward for everyone. Partying with some of these artists and bands was awesome.
I love your authentic reactions. It's easy to see, that when you show that you're really digging a song, that it's not forced. Keep 'em coming, my man!
I'm a huge Tool fan and THIS song is a REAL warning and I really enjoyed this video, WELL DONE. Learn to swim, go back to our basic roots of living in harmony with nature. RESPECT nature. Live SUSTAINABLY. The paradigm that exists is unsustainable. Change or DROWN.
I am 59 yrs old and old school rock and electric blues. Led Zepellin, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, Muddy Waters and so forth. I heard tool on Sirrus radio but I discovered them this past week, meaning I paid attention to their lyrics, music and their lead singer, Maynard, is unreal.
If Jamel hosted a party with all of his subscribers there, it would go down in history as one the coolest and chillest parties this world has ever seen. ✌🏼
I love how excited you get for Tool (they've been my favorite since I was a child), like you are having a blast experiencing them. Rock on man rock on 🤟
The song is more literal than you think. It's not just learning to swim to overcome your superficial problems. He's saying he wants to flush LA down and all the Angeleans would need to learn to swim.
To be more specific...this song is about Maynard James Keenans (vocalist) dislike and distaste for the city of Los Angeles. At the time ‘this song was written he and his band mates lived there for several years, Maynard hated it and is the only band member who doesn’t live there now. He moved to AZ like 25 years ago. So when he sings flush it all away he’s talking about LA
Which if you look at L.A. right now and California as a whole you'll see Maynard was way ahead if the curve when he recognized what a toxic cesspool it is! 😂😂😂😂
I think he means the whole world but is concentrating on LA as the pinnacle of what is wrong... Learn to swim is in reference to the belief that a massive earthquake is gonna put California under water... The lyrics are just magnificent!
My favorite TOOL song. I loved it the first time I heard it and still love it to this day. It explains everything to a T. Even after all these years its still Socially Relevant.
@@danielkinn782 put it in the youtube search my guy. Multiple 2008ish era cellphone vids as well as good q documentary footage and stuff from multiple locations.
It's about the hedonism of hollywood, and the entertainment industry in general. Arizona bay is a direct reference to two things. Superman the Motion picture, and Bill Hicks's 1997 commedy album.
Living in LA, this song haunts me to my bones. He's right about everything he's saying...
it's ok, just learn to swim
@@FelixDaFreak Many did already when they came to L.A. and California from across the border. 😎 I'm not lying or hating it's just the truth lol!
Swimming in L.A. amongst the bullshit
Ricky Gervais pretty much echoed this song last night.
Keep in mind this was written in the mid 90's. Brilliant song.
The entire TOOL discography is FIRE. Lyrically and musically they remain unchallenged. Many have tried to imitate, but there is only ONE TOOL.
The older albums, which include this one, are better than the more recent IMO though.
Maynard hates tool !!! But opiate thru aenima r killr
I agree. No one does it like TOOL. Emotionally charged creativity. Though I do prefer early TOOL.
Tool is like Rush on Mushrooms...
@Shawnaldo75 😂😂😂😂😂
This is such a prophetic song. This is society today and this song is almost 25 years old
Jamel... you would be a kickass dude to chill with
I agree. Turn on some 70s old rock classics with Jamal by the pool with a beer and hot wings! That would be a great day!!!
I'm telling you a good dude to drink a beer and bullshit about the state of society and the universe. BTW how you doin Crowley 😉😙
I totally agree. You seem so fun and open to hearing different types of music. Love it man
Hell yeah dude
Maybe we should hand out I’d for Shure bring weed
This song came out in 96. It fit great back then and it's all rung truer as time has went on.
Word
Arizona Bay is a comedy album by Bill Hicks. Hicks is a hero of many, and especially MJK.
Bill Hicks was a genius!
Thank you for beating me to it
Bill Hicks is Alex jones
The Aenima album was dedicated to Bill Hicks, if you've seen the CD liner, Bill's imagery is all over it.
@@normie2716 Yeah, it says "Another Dead Hero" next to Bill Hicks picture.
If this doesn't give you chills when you listen to it, you have no soul.
It's so cool to see someone hear Tool for the first time. Wish I could go back and listen to Aenima, the entire album, again
*for the first time.
Easily my favorite Tool song. "Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits." Love it.
Pretty cool how he predicted Twitter, huh?
@fred head the best Tool song is the one you're currently listening to.
RandomJane Eulogy.
Best line in anything ever
here we are
I always get chills when he goes "I certainly hope we will".
I’ve been on the planet for 50 years now & for as long as I can remember I’ve always loved music & im proud to be a part of generation that not only altered the musical landscape we owned it & I can say without fear of doubt that TOOL is the best band on the planet ....no one comes close
It's funny how he's complaining about Cali in '96, it's even worse now.
California will never get better, only worse! Shit only gets worse there.
@Not Sure
No, I'm good.
@@aryansigrid any parts of california that is good?
Hi, April 1st here. You have no idea.
Chris Aspen North East and East?
Jamal, you really hit the nail on the head with this one! As a former Hollywood soundman, Maynard knows what he's talking about too.
After a lifetime of being a Tool fan i finally was able to see them live. It was hands down the best show I have ever been to. Everyone walking out after the show seemed like they were taken to another level.
I saw them at ozzfest , and megadeth in 98 or 99?
Fricken unreal the show .
You dont appreciate the music until you can feel it move your cells! Lol
3x timer here
Same, saw them first in November 2019 before the coof started.
Saw them in Pensacola FL in 2007. By far the best concert I've ever been to. Tool is a masterpiece creating itself. It's a beautiful thing to watch.
I can't wait.
He's singing about the state of California or the L.A. area in particular. About seeing it sink into the ocean after the bug earthquake.
Arizona being land locked will suddenly have a bay. MJK lives in a small town in Arizona.
And this was put out 25 years ago.
also a reference to a bill hicks skit
Even though this was a couple decades ago, the song writer saw what was happening & where it would end up...cue 2020 & the upheaval occuring!
Jerome last I knew
@@fknalexman6668 Something worth reacting to too. :)
Down the hole he goes,down the hole he goes. I love it , keep them coming Jamel.
There is only one word to describe Tool’s music & lyrics: intense.
It's surprising, the number of people who didn't immediately get that mom was mother nature. Depressing.
Deftones “Passenger” feat. Maynard from Tool. You will love.
This.
Wait it’s Maynard?? Holy shit
Thank you. That’s what I asked him to react to..
Ms DarkstaR I think he gets way to many comments to read them all. Was hoping he’d see this one. Probably didn’t. But he’s got really genuine reactions.
Kev j Chino and Maynard alternate lines. Then Maynard owns the chorus.
Mother is trying, look at California burning, all the rich neighborhoods burning and mudslides, she's trying, trying real hard... and succeeding 👍
KoRn nuTT thAt shits always happened. Difference is some idiot built in these zones. And bigger idiots moved there
Then Maynard's vineyard should go since he profits from degeneracy a lot more

“Before we pine awaaaaaay.........”

I took it as Maynard telling them to die..but yea that makes more since. Maybe.....I just need to be committed..

He just did it my man.
@@joelarms2171 I know, that's what I meant.
Yeah, my bad. Took it wrong in context.👍
This is probably my 2nd favourite Tool song. Complete environment song. With some great breakouts.
And then he moved to Jerome AZ and started a winery.
Yep, got himself some future beachfront property...
and he is selling knickers on his website
Beautiful area. Cannot wait to ride the switchbacks up there.
Visited there a couple of years ago, went to the Ghost Mine for awhile until my wife slapped a donkey. Good times.
@@limitinfinity I have... so many questions.
This is really a great song. It captures a lot of what Tool is about for their sound and lyrical content.
This CD cover was quite possibly the best one ever! Fit PERFECTLY with Aenima!!
Showing CA in the ocean & AZ as oceanfront property. UberCool!
The CD sleeve was pretty unique.

This is a tribute to bill hicks. Arizona bay references a bit he did.

A Perfect Circle - "Judith"
This song is the only song that has me cheering and hoping for a meteor with a smile on my face
This song is the most fascinating cynism ever
I love watching fellow music lovers falling in love with something new!
This song was basically taken from a comedy routine by Bill Hicks. The whole album for that matter.
A mix of that and the California New Age scene of the time as embodied in the book "Nothing In This Book Is True..." which got into the 46+2 idea, the 3rd eye idea, the merkobah idea they got into on Salival, and a bunch of other ideas that were all around for a long time anyway but were pushed into the scene by that book.
Not the whole album. They were friends with Hicks and the album is dedicated to him, but it’s not taken from him and it’s not about him.
There were themes throughout the album that were Hicks' concepts on which they expanded. Third Eye is an example of this, hence the addition of the snippet from Bill's bit about the war on drugs. I would say that the writing process for the album was heavily influenced by the pass8ng of their friend.
Yes, he was in the liner notes. Yes they mention him in Third Eye, but the whole album was not taken from his ideas.
There is a drawing of Hicks on the album.
A timeless masterwork, nothing cleanses filth greater than the spirit of fire, preaching to the blind regarding our momma 's coming high colonic.
Does my heart good to see you do these reviews for these songs I’ve loved for so long. Do some Living Colour, Fishbone and 24-7 Spyz
Same shit here man! lol
Isn’t a trip to see a new group discover something we have loved for so many years ?????
Jeff DIxon It's awesome man, takes me back to when I heard it for the firs time. Every fucking time.
Jeff DIxon yes. It does. Shows you how some good music can stand the test of time
Hell yeah! I'll second some 24-7 Spyz!
2nd fav Tool song..."Learn to swim..." I think here in June 2020 it is definitely being flushed away.
Oh, man...I can’t wait til you get a load of ‘The Grudge.’

This is how Maynard James Keenan felt about Los Angeles in 1996. Imagine how he'd feel about it 25 years later.
Maynard always has a message.
This song brings tears to my eyes to...everytime!
Try A Perfect Circle "Judith", lead singer from Tool
You get it! I really do love your uploads and seeing you experience certain songs for the first time I get jealous of you. I'll never experience that again.
