This song is special for the older fans. I called in late to work to get the CD the moment the record store opened, and this being the opening track was what we all heard driving to work. A few of us gathered in the kitchen right away, all saying "OMG THE SCREAM," and I just realized that was over 20 years ago...
I was a tool fan from my teenage years early 2000s. Became a an infantry marine, deployed multiple times and more off the record shit. Took helped me find my way to be a dad and good husband. I still play guitar, bass and drums to this day because of Danny. Helped me keep and create life
The entire Lateralus album is a spiritual journey. Reflection was the song that I connected with most. It changed me in ways I can't explain. Especially being sandwiched between Disposition and Triad, which actually was written as one long song. I have all the albums on vinyl, but I probably spin Lateralus the most. Keep up the great reactions ✌️
@neonom1024 it sounds great to me... It is a little on the quieter side than most 180 gram vinyl, im sure that's due to the artwork on it, but a lil volume or good headphones fixes that
I love that she's found such an interesting and unexpected (for her!) connection here. That's the stuff! That's how this band stays with you through the years, through the decades. You realize the song or the moment _means something to you_ and you let it, and then you have a personal lens to further explore. So great. Love this "series" with you two.
Love your reactions, but especially to this song, which is my favorite Tool song. It’s a visceral reminder to not hang on to grudges and it was moving to hear Val’s connection to the song. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
I feel that we need to see Val react to the whole Lateralus album from start to finish lol Amazing to see someone react to Tool and also get it at the same time. Spiral out. Keep going ;)
This is my favorite song of all time and this is my favorite reaction I’ve ever seen. Triple Home Run with that pause dude. This is the first time I’ve seen someone competantly explain what they were thinking and tied it in with memory and representation. BEAUTIFULLY done madam! And then you let Danny air it out… instead of a self promoting reaction clip you let it/her/us soak it in. PAUSE POST SCREAM WAS AVOIDED :) Jeremiah Johnson nod of approval. y’all win
It's great that she mentioned cleansing with water as this song has the same intention as "descending" It's all about letting go of negative attachment to things.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful monster of a song. It's really nice to see how Val can instantly relate to the message of the song and how Tool grows on her more and more with evey song she listens to. Greetings and much love from Germany :)
The entire end section (after the scream, but the scream can be included) when the "let go, let it go"s start to the end of the song is my favorite section of any Tool song.
Damn, Val, I love how you relate to Tool.maybe the Grudge is the answer to the song Bottom. I have been clean for almost 5 years (finally), and Tool has been so instrumental in my recovery. I see you already reacted to Sober. Please explore the music/lyrics from their first album undertow. The title song Undertow (not falling back into addiction) really hits home for me. ✌️❤️
Tool is…..an experience into another dimension. Their process, although lengthy, of writing is nothing short of genius. And Maynard-his vocal abilities are one of the greatest that has not faltered over the years. For your own enjoyment I highly recommend watching their live performance of ‘Push It’ where he takes down an over excited fan that jumped on stage, puts him in a rear choke hold and NEVER misses a note……impressive this man is!
We appreciate that so much! My favorites are: 1. old soul 2. outside the lines 3. heartbreak in hawaii Would love to know what your thoughts are once you listen :)
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 I will absolutely listen and I'll let you know which are my faves, I'm also a singer guitarist so I love music, without music life would be so boring 😂 good to see you being musically creative, how long have you guys been in the band?
I got Old Soul and Snowy Mountains on YouTunes. They are great! Listening to Tool makes people smarter. But, you have to be willing to truly listen and learn. I'm still learning from these songs years later. I second the Holy Trinity next. I really enjoy Vals' reactions. Spiral Out, Keep Going 😊❤
Thank you so much! That means a ton :) We are definitely getting very inspired by TOOL, Val is wanting to hone her lyric writing and I’m wanting to push my instrumental compositions / production into more advanced territory. It’s nice to have so many of their songs to get inspired from!
I know a few people that are so angry at the world and everything they've been thru, it's very draining to be around them, I've never been overly angry even though I've been thru a million horrible things, after awhile you kinda just take life as it comes and everything happens for a reason. That's how I think anyways😅 but listening to tool since maybe 96? Or at least the aenima album, they have carried me on this amazing journey, I might not understand it all but I try 😊
I'm a musician too and Tool was the biggest catalyst to make me pick up an instrument...but it's crazy how differently a lyricist hears music than I do. She gets it in a way I can't. Very cool.
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 Started with bass because of Justin, Geddy Lee and Les Claypool. I started playing guitar a little while ago too. The Lemontech stuff is good too btw.
Ah yes, the song that made me a lifelong Tool fan when I first experienced it 23 years ago. And it is an experience, not just a listen. Goes wonderfully with mountain scenery.
When I pick up my guitar to show people I know how to play, this is the song I play for them!! After I play it, there is no need to play anything else, that’s a mic drop moment 🎙️
They played this at the show I went to in 2022. I timed his scream on my phone's stopwatch... 24.57 seconds. I was in the fourth row, center, and he was actually doing it. Greatness. He was like 57 years old. The term 'insanity' has to be redefined because of MJK. No, I didn't record it. We could only record Invincible at the end.
Sorry for all the comments😊 but you should give passenger by Deftones a listen, ft Maynard, super smooth vocals from Maynard and Chino but also very aggressive in the choruses. Rock on dudes🤘
I find the Patient to be one of the songs off of Lateralus that speaks to me the most, but glad that you have found some that resonate personally with you. I think that is part of their magic, it's not just a masterclass in musical composition but also has such strong themes and messages that draw you in and empathize.
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 probably "Constance" (but the clip and subject matter is heavy), "secret garden", "ultraviolet". Those are the ones without harsh vocals from Courtney. You can go for "trust fall", any "mara effect" or the popular ones after, like "Circle with me" and "rule of nine". there's a bunch that's just harsh vocals too but they might be a lot for starters
I recommend taking a brief break from tool and checkout Maynards other band a perfect circle the song disillusioned!! Powerful lyrics and a different side of his voice.. you'll both love it!!
The level of blasphemy.., to know this song and stop it right before the build to the scream so that the listener doesn’t feel it’s I release…. 😤😭😂😜 **I do love you for going back in the analysis 😘
The entire album (imo) is the journey of a man of science, haunted by religion, facing deep seeded trauma logically through his art. His soul bleeding through the speakers and blending into the listeners and harmonizing. From realization to liberation and everything in between.
Would say horrid spot to pause on, but really isn't a good to pause. The enjoyment of this incredible band always brings joy though. Can't wait to see more! Jimmy would be a great one, I think y'all would like it.
10:08 - that is exactly why the tool army is so rabid. BTW. 10 years from now, this song will fit again, it’ll just speak to you differently. As a 30+ year Tool fan - all I can say is - trust.
11:00. This type of experience is why they called the band TOOL, cuz the music is ment to help people’s minds like a tool. Not everyone will have the same experience, and they have touched on a lot of different topics throughout the years.🌿🌸
This is gonna sound weird. Maynard’s voice reminds me of a Grecian statue. Eegant, smooth lines, expressive… But goddamn made from the heaviest stone on earth.
I don't think anyone knows except those present at the recording, but legend has it that the scream was recorded in only one take and that Maynard practically passed out. I certainly know that he could do it live until a few years ago. I heard it in 2007 and it made my skin crawl. Then I listened to it again in 2019 and unfortunately he couldn't take it anymore. Now it's only done with effects.
Tool songs come to you when you're ready for them. The wild thing is the levels that are embedded in them. You said you wouldn't have understood this three years ago, maybe you weren't ready. Now the song comes to you. But it may come to you again later in life and for other reasons.
For me, it sparked a greater appreciation for the band and all of the ridiculously talented individual members. It also inspired me to write music with stronger riffs and bass grooves. As well as try to get back into drumming once I have the opportunity to do so. For Val, I think it made her much more curious about the group, and more invested in general. And it definitely reaffirmed her love of Pneuma and Danny’s drumming :)
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 thank you for taking the time out to answer the question. I know time signatures can throw people for a loop. Adam Jones did creative work on Jurassic Park and other movies as I'm sure you have heard. Danny is the octopus, seen them 7 times in my life, as a drummer myself.it broke me is a good way. Aenima is my favorite album, before people started to say spiral out, there was learn to swim. Aenima is a great song off the self titled album, Pushit and Euology are top-notch too. Don't sleep on Hooker with a Peen either. That you guys for covering my favorite band. Just been listening since 94
I think there are some cool sort've "occultic" tones that can be interpreted through some of the lyrics. Such that "wear the grudge like a crown" within the Planetary "Tree of Life" Uranus rests upon the top as being the "King" and I believe it is well recieved within those schools of thought that he is the Prime Creator or at least most closely mimics this aspect. When you speak upon energetic paths through the body as they relate to the different planetary spheres which influence us Uranus rests just above the head but "not in contact" with the head leading to a common quotation I have heard in different areas of life "Heavy is the head that wears the Crown". So in a sense it can be interpreted at least loosely within this framework as "wear the grudge like a crown" the grudge as you put it being the thing that gives you power but is not necessarily connected directly with your character. This is sort've school of thought can carry through as well within the lyrics referencing Saturn's Ascension. Saturn being the sort of energetic 'overseer' of manifestation, and also being linked heavily with the concepts of Karma. So in reference to "Saturn Ascends" one can interpret that to mean, as we wear this "Grudge" throughout our lives, we cling to it as a part of character and a thing that defines us, gives us our power in the world, but as we grow we learn that perhaps it is a thing that we can choose to let go. As Saturn Ascends(as we grow) we exert our will and manifest a change in our life sort of embodying that Saturnian energy to erect a change, and perhaps this can link into the concepts of Karma, in that perhaps life events either good or bad have directly shaped the Karmic Cycle that has led us to the realization and in effect created the drive necessary to make said changes. Also within these schools of thought I have heard Saturn referenced as being "The King Maker" so perhaps this also ties back into the opening line of "Wear the Grudge like a Crown". So as we let go of that "grudge" we in effect are losing that thing which we perceived to be granting us power, but in it's place we are replacing it with a conscious or "metaphysical" source of directed willpower and rather than this "grudge" being the crown we in effect are producing our own Crown as we harness that Saturnian energy to in effect allow ourselves to be made "kings" organically. There are the somewhat obvious connotations towards the end about "Give away the stone." I think here we are making the stone synonymous to "the Grudge" which we had established earlier. At this point in the song as we have let go of "the Grudge" we recognize it potentially as being a thing which actually held us back from realizing the things which actually defined us, or held us back from developing into something more than just the identity which had sprung up around our "grudge". "Let the waters kiss and trans-mutate, these leaden grudges into gold." Here painting a picture of the "Crown" which we wore at the beginning of the song being a crown of lead which is arguably an undesirable substance for such a regal adornment(dark, heavy, lacking luster, and in all reality poisonous), and rather drawing from the ancient science of Alchemy(transmutation) turning that "leaden grudge" into one of gold, which is much more befitting of such a regal position of self growth or awareness. So as we have used the power of Saturn's Ascension we have manifested true and meaningful change within ourselves and within our lives such that the things which once weighed us down, took the luster out of life, and potentially 'poisoned' us. We have effectively changed the base composition of our spirit from that of "lead" to "gold".
Your lady is sooooooo cuuuude!!!!!!!! I think she is asian. This track i've never heard in my life, sooooooooo fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire of tool’s album is a spiritual journey
Man, she really gets tool. Great breakdown! When he screams, it reminds me of the guy in the green mile when he’s having the release
TOOL is intelligent rock. As you get older each song grows with you. Takes on new meaning based on your experiences.
I love that she's found such an interesting and unexpected (for her!) connection here. That's the stuff! That's how this band stays with you through the years, through the decades. You realize the song or the moment _means something to you_ and you let it, and then you have a personal lens to further explore. So great. Love this "series" with you two.
I've always thought of the entire Lateralus album as "Maynard's Guide to Enlightenment". Seriously - so much profound truth and wisdom in there.
Love your reactions, but especially to this song, which is my favorite Tool song. It’s a visceral reminder to not hang on to grudges and it was moving to hear Val’s connection to the song. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
And especially loved Val's attempt at the Scream! 😆😄
Maynard was trying to make it a 27 second scream he said in the studio he almost passed out after the scream.
😮
How does anyone make a song like this? Fkn amazing. Then again I say that about most of their songs.
I feel that we need to see Val react to the whole Lateralus album from start to finish lol Amazing to see someone react to Tool and also get it at the same time. Spiral out. Keep going ;)
The Saturn idea is revisited during 10,000 days. 10,000 days is about 27 years, That's about the amount of time his mother was incapacitated.

I love your TOOL reactions, and this one couldn’t have come at a better time! I’d love an album reaction, but keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you so much! :)
What I love is Justins effect, it's like he is playing in space @ 2:58 and other times, the mention of Saturn during the song goes with this sound.
Justin just did a rig rundown and explains exactly how he made that sound! 😍
Just wanted to drop in and say LemonTech sounds really good!!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that :)
Missed you for a long time and all of a sudden you got tool reactions with your band mate. Amazing buddy🤘 good to see you back
It’s fun to be back! I hope you’ve been well!
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 been thru allot this past 2 years but came out the other end stronger than ever. Hope the same for you 😊
Old soul definitely gives me euphoric summer vibes at the beach. Just enjoying life. 😎

Danny says the outro at his age is one of the hardest to play now.....also....the Holy Trinity needs to be soon
Seriously. Her reactions have been amazing but as an artist herself I think the Trinity is going to blow her mind.
One of my favorite things to watch is the drum cam footage of Danny playing the ending to this song. What a beast.
The entire end section (after the scream, but the scream can be included) when the "let go, let it go"s start to the end of the song is my favorite section of any Tool song.
Yes, he can still do that scream live. I'm as surprised as anyone.
Damn, Val, I love how you relate to Tool.maybe the Grudge is the answer to the song Bottom.
I have been clean for almost 5 years (finally), and Tool has been so instrumental in my recovery.
I see you already reacted to Sober. Please explore the music/lyrics from their first album undertow. The title song Undertow (not falling back into addiction) really hits home for me.

100%
The Humbling River would be a good start
Ah yes, the song that made me a lifelong Tool fan when I first experienced it 23 years ago. And it is an experience, not just a listen. Goes wonderfully with mountain scenery.
Anyone else hear on the Soul sample Val holding, then letting that little Maynard note fade away? 🔥
what a cathartic scream and outro....my favourite song from them
I almost didn’t want to like this video, because it already had 666 likes
When I pick up my guitar to show people I know how to play, this is the song I play for them!! After I play it, there is no need to play anything else, that’s a mic drop moment 🎙️
They have been beyond our ears for years...only reason people can listen too them now is because of social media
When they played this in concert you talk about people losing their shit when he went into that scream🤯🎤🎤🎤🎸🥁🎸🎹🤘🖖✌️
Anyone want to guess why the scream is about 27 seconds long?
One of my favorites - peak lyrical / musical intricacy
Love the whole album
They played this at the show I went to in 2022. I timed his scream on my phone's stopwatch... 24.57 seconds. I was in the fourth row, center, and he was actually doing it. Greatness. He was like 57 years old. The term 'insanity' has to be redefined because of MJK. No, I didn't record it. We could only record Invincible at the end.
The elites tried too destroy the "Dixie chicks" and that's Nashville
One of my cardio songs, too!! Crush it!!
I feel, after this song, i'm in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for all the comments😊 but you should give passenger by Deftones a listen, ft Maynard, super smooth vocals from Maynard and Chino but also very aggressive in the choruses. Rock on dudes🤘
25 second sustained scream. its truly a master class.
I find the Patient to be one of the songs off of Lateralus that speaks to me the most, but glad that you have found some that resonate personally with you. I think that is part of their magic, it's not just a masterclass in musical composition but also has such strong themes and messages that draw you in and empathize.
We will have to do that one soon!!
Please react to Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 off 10,000 days. You will be blown away. Some of Maynards best work, IMO.
Tool is healing.😢
25 secs, you are right is fades at 16 bars. The breath control is amazing from maynard.
I would love to hear wings for Marie one and two off of 10,000 Days
Do the math on how many years 10,000 days (Tool Album) is. 😉
Lateralus is prob my fave of over 400 cds and five gig of music in my old pc. Xtra special 🤘🌀🤘
Speaking of smooth but gritty voice I would recommend some Spiritbox (starting with something smooth first because it can get pretty heavy)
What is a smoother song of theirs?
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 probably "Constance" (but the clip and subject matter is heavy), "secret garden", "ultraviolet". Those are the ones without harsh vocals from Courtney.

Please do more songs , you guys are so cool! do them all.. i love her reaction and toughts. Love from Portugal.
We definitely will! Thank you so much! :)
I think she’s ready for the Holy Trinity ❤🌀
I recommend taking a brief break from tool and checkout Maynards other band a perfect circle the song disillusioned!! Powerful lyrics and a different side of his voice.. you'll both love it!!
Have you shown her the patient yet? If she wants to continue the psychedelic theme of the album
Not yet, but we should do that one soon!
Seriously I want your music to BLOW UP simply for repping TOOL on the sweatshirt in that preview video!
Wish you would do eulogy next :3
I went to one of the only two shows on the recent tour that they didn't play this :(
Really?? I thought they always played before intermission. The intro is badass
The level of blasphemy.., to know this song and stop it right before the build to the scream so that the listener doesn’t feel it’s I release…. 😤😭😂😜

It's very short for tool.
Tool songs come to you when you're ready for them. The wild thing is the levels that are embedded in them. You said you wouldn't have understood this three years ago, maybe you weren't ready. Now the song comes to you. But it may come to you again later in life and for other reasons.
After seeing Tool live. What is your take now on the band
For me, it sparked a greater appreciation for the band and all of the ridiculously talented individual members. It also inspired me to write music with stronger riffs and bass grooves. As well as try to get back into drumming once I have the opportunity to do so.
For Val, I think it made her much more curious about the group, and more invested in general. And it definitely reaffirmed her love of Pneuma and Danny’s drumming :)

Here painting a picture of the "Crown" which we wore at the beginning of the song being a crown of lead which is arguably an undesirable substance for such a regal adornment(dark, heavy, lacking luster, and in all reality poisonous), and rather drawing from the ancient science of Alchemy(transmutation) turning that "leaden grudge" into one of gold, which is much more befitting of such a regal position of self growth or awareness.
So as we have used the power of Saturn's Ascension we have manifested true and meaningful change within ourselves and within our lives such that the things which once weighed us down, took the luster out of life, and potentially 'poisoned' us. We have effectively changed the base composition of our spirit from that of "lead" to "gold".
If I may, I would recommend “Third Eye” if you are looking for a psychedelic experience? ;)

It's nice seeing people watching tool...they refused too play 3.5 minute songs so the music industry chose too leave them in the shadows

11:02 - after that statement - you are VERY READY for Lateralus (with lyrics).
