In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm sharing a reaction to Eulogy from Tool that I filmed in late May, 2024 as part of our Fan Favorites series on Patreon. As usual, the musicians in Tool thoroughly entertained me and made me think...as well as rocking my socks off! I hope you enjoy this powerful song!

Lateralus is largely considered their best, but a lot of us will tell you it's this.
Agree!
I'm one of them. Maynard's melodies seem so much more focused and cohesive on this project. They all seem so much more cohesive from a songwriting perspective rather than on later projects like on Lateralus, where the band was tighter and compositions were more complex, but they seem to have sacrificed the cohesive songwriting that drew me to them on Aenima. That's the way I see it at least.
Yep, I'm one of those. This is their darkest album. I like dark and heavy shit.
@@ChuckWasHere Yeah this album they're at the top of their game with more gutteral, personal songwriting that feels more like telling a story than the later more cerebral albums. Which peaked with their Salival live album imho. I was kinda sad Doug didn't pick that version of Pushit.
With ya, Aenima is my favourite, not that I don't like the others but this and even Undertow before the others
The “F*ck” at the end is the most relatable reaction
This is it. This is the album. You want to listen to a full TOOL album for the first time this is the one.
100% agree, an absolute masterpiece. Didn't leave my car stereo for over 6 months when it came out!
And I did, magic stuff.
There have been a few memorable moments mentioned in musical history. First was music before Sgt Pepper's and after nd then Music before and after Aenima
10,000 >
You're spot on. This is a very easy album to enjoy. Fast innoculum is a commitment. Undertow is good, too, but simplistic by comparison. This is a great, great album. 46+2 is world class kick ass. H, and HWP are excellent, too. The lyrics of HWP are savage.
Doug!! Just do the whole discography, it's chocked full of masterful compositions!
💯
I'm here for it! And APC, and Puscifer!
Hmm. Aenima and Lateralus yes. The rest less so.
@@aaroncole3941 Absolutely!
Of course
11:30 that was the most genuine reaction to a tool song lmao
The hands flapping tho 😂😂
I was laughing so hard!!!
Some Say, He Is Still Air Drumming To This Song, Till This Very Day 😂
This whole album kicks ass
one of tools best songs lyrically imo. "come down, get off your fucking cross, we need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr"
Ooooo edgy
@@TraditionalHippie right
@@colinburroughs9871 I love Tool but I don’t miss arrogant blasphemous Maynard
@@TraditionalHippie we're a bit outnumbered lol.. but yeah, you found another one who agrees with you on this
@@colinburroughs9871 I grew up silencing this part. I have an uncanny ability to not care about specific verses in TOOL songs and still get the message. I can’t tell you how rewarding it’s been to witness Judith>Wings, pointing the finger to letting go of grudges
“H” was the first TOOL song I ever heard and is what got me hooked, so it will always hold a special place for me. With that said, “Aenima” is special in terms of flow, tempo change, and is Maynard’s voice at its best IMO. It also is a perfect early stop in Maynard’s journey of growth that ultimately (as of right now) effectively ends with “Descending” and “Pneuma”. The stark difference between “Aenima” and “Descending” is very powerful in terms of maturity. And with all of this said, I agree with the other person who said to just go ahead and do their entire discography. Literally every song is a masterpiece and everything connects in different ways to different journeys of growth. Absolutely amazing artists!
This song still gives me chills after almost 20 years later. 🤘Thanks for a lovely reaction to one of the greatest bands to ever exist!
Song is closer to 30 years by now. 😂
As far as only having 5 albums goes....Perfection and greatness takes time.
IMO they take too much time. Their old bassist agrees.
10,000 and Fear are not perfect or great. Patchy and disappointing is closer.
@@Richard-d1y 10000 is pretyy fn good
@@Richard-d1yso called tool fan
I have hardly ever seen such a genuine love for music, followed by the desire to learn and understand everything. You sir, will be alright🫡 keep on keepin on! Can’t wait to see more from ya!
Tool army checking in, welcome recruit!
Spiral out, keep going
You absolutely MUST react to The Patient. No more words needed
Out of all the reaction videos with air drumming I do believe that you follow and can anticipate the changes better than anyone I've seen. Hats off to you sir, spiral out and take in the beauty along the way.
The sound in the beggining is Maynard singing into a mega phone and just hitting the button in rythum. You can kind of hear his voice in the back ground making the notes.
I saw it as a hairdryer through a megaphone. The hairdryer acting as a conduit for the sound into the megaphone.
I've heard this song a million times and never realized that's him singing in the background and it's not a separate track
Listen to Aenima all the way through.
They really hit their stride on this album.
In order...with headphones!
I saw this upload and shouted ITS A METAL MONDAY.
We all have that one album that changed our musical lives and made a great impression on us. Most of the times it was when we were young and finding our musical tastes. This album was it for me. I was a grunge fan and certainly had my taste in music by 16 but when this album came out, it was profound for me. I would listen to this album daily and still can't get enough into my 40s.
Before you do any more Tool, listen to Forty Six & 2. It’s my favorite Tool song because it’s just *ridiculous* in its musicianship.
Like what?
I love how Scene 6:Home seems to take inspiration from it.
For me it's either Eulogy or Right in Two
I am a fan of Pneuma as well. They have Rush on steroids vibes
The new album has surpassed all of the others for me. It took me a while to understand it, but it is truly profound. And I've been listening to them since the early 90's
@@SilkyMJohnsonYeah, everytime I listen to it I like it even more.
Saw them live at the last tour, best night of my life. The songs they played from that album are such an experience live.
"Aenima" is one of those albums that is incredibly dense and incredibly deep. It did have the one release, "Stink Fist," that generated a lot of interest and acclaim, but as far as the rest of the album goes, every single song follows the Tool playbook (the "Tool-box" if you will?): thought-provoking lyrics, intrinsically-intertwined rhythms, virtuosity-level musicians who hold nothing back, and one of the absolutely greatest voices in rock. This was a CD that I put into my Discman and didn't stop listening to for months. Every song a challenge - every track a treasure.
Doug, yours has been a remarkeable metamorphosis I've followed since you were doing Rush reactions, first time listener.
My friend, the wheel never stops and we weren't meant to stop growing in intellect and practical wisdom just because time passes and age gathers.
And another thing- you walk your talk. Always a plus in my book.
May the road rise to you.
Here for tool… and the intro to this song is so Epic!
Right in Two is my fav tool song. I think Doug already did that one. Would love him to do vicarious
Man I love that song so damn much. I love everything from tool but right in two is just... Damn.
Best Tool song, imo.
Glad you enjoyed it too!
You gotta do the disposition/reflection/ triad trio songs. Those three tracks blend together into one great experience from the Lateralus album
From first listen of this album, this was my favorite song off of it. I still love Jerk-Off (Live) off Opiate also
As a classically trained musician, TOOL resonates with me musically so well. More than any other non-classical composer or composition.
Eulogy is part of my hiking Playlist. There, I said it. Such a great track. Great reaction!
you should do "Reflection" if not Disposition/Reflection/Triad if you want an epic. It is hypnotic and so very emotional
I have a question.... You haven´t heard Forty Six & 2 and you haven´t listened to Fear Inoculum. What are you waiting for??? DO IT NOW!!!
I had heard TOOL through the years, actually played Lateralus once through. I liked them but I can´t say I listened so closely. It wasn´t until right before Fear Inoculum was released that I said to myself that it was time to sit down and go through their discography. That was in late 2018 and I´ve probably listened to Lateralus, 10.000 Days and FI 10.000 times now. Invincible from FI is a masterpiece among masterpieces. Don´t wait any longer. Listen!
Wow, all those songs you still haven't heard are bangers. Take your pick!
I've seen Tool 3 times but I would give all those tickets and merch away to have a rock out session with my late father like the one you just had ❤🎶
I remember the 1 time I listen to this, what a great feeling, but im never get tired of Tool Its Just ALL Sync and Genius music. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
This song is pure energy. Straight up power
Eulogy has always been the opus of their prime. Us old schoolers know.
The verse about the cross is savage
This and Stinkfist are amazing tunes. The whole album is just awesome. Heavy, harmonic and melodic.
I got goosebumps watching your first reaction. "Bill Hicks" , but that's just for people reading now, you know for sure. ;)
I commented before the end of the song, hahaha. nvm. Hooker with a Penis is amazing. The grudge needs to be added to your lists as well. You could literally start from the beginning and end up with their newest stuff if you wanted. it IS all good... no bad songs. Have fun.
Oh man, I love this album. Simply the best
The intro is so good 👍
Until about a year ago, I thought that the intro was all Danny being the Octopus he is, and it melted my brain trying to figure out how he played that. Turns out Adam starts it out tapping the strings to the pickups. Phew! 🤓
One f my favourite albums. When it came out in. 95, I was in a difficult place, this really hit the spot. Every song seems to build and build. And everything is so musically strong. I’ve seen this live. This music hits you full force in the body. It’s an experience.
Ohh Doug!!! You make me so extremely happy that you did Eulogy finally!!! :DDD
Underrated Tool song, that intro was composed in some really unique ways. That clink clink sound isn’t any percussion from Danny, it’s Adam picking the E and A strings of his guitar below the bridge(the thing near the bottom front of the guitar that supports the strings for those not versed in guitar parts).
This is a great album, and so are the rest. They evolve.
Eulogy was my go to song when I was growing up and needed a lift 🤟
For me, it was always from first to last and it's almost always how I listen to Tool to this day. The playlist expanded a couple of times since my first time and I hope it will keep expanding.
That was the first Tool album i ever bought. It was somewhat outside what i was used to listen to at the time, but it hooked me hard. Over the next few years I was sinking ever deeper into that rabbit hole, exploring every band these people have ever contributed to. What a journey it was. Other people discovering the band for the first time on TH-cam keep those moments alive for me. 😊
I love how Maynard bounces back and forth from major to minor in the chorus, goosebumps.
Sooooooooooooooooo Loooooooooooonnggg!!!!!!
Im always here for more Tool! 🤘🌀
Definitely their best album. Rock on!
The raw emotion and power on Undertow had me reeling many years in my younger days. All of those songs are awesome. Dark but awesome. Even Opiate was raw and awesome. True head banging music. Not as technical musically, but their music mastery was taking form.
Descending from Fear Inoculum is amazing
A stoner work colleague introduced me to this album in the late 90’s. Particularly remember this track + 46 & 2 as it was NOTHING like I had heard musically before…or since! This album changed my life! 👊🏻
Will be here for it.
This whole album is a must to listen to. After all these years Tool is pretty much all I listen to. Still completely satisfied.
I absolutely love watching you react to tool. It is fucking awesome. I have always loved this song. Just melts your face right off. Thank you.
He had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say!🔥👍
Todos sus discos y todas sus canciones están a otro nivel.
Para mi, la mejor banda del mundo.
I really appreciate these videos. My brother inherent ALL the family musical talent. I cant even keep a rhythm! These videos are time classes in music appreciation.
Probably my single favorite track by Tool. So glad you're doing this.
@9:40 - trying to learn that polyrhythm on the drums is what made me decide to give them up and stick to the guitar. It's not the hardest by any means but it was too much for my simple one-time signature at a time brain to handle.
You really need to do full listens to all of em Doug, they're like no other
It’s about time
I really love this song, the intro draws me right in since first listen ❤
11:30 EXACTLY!
respect the crap out of you doug. this reaction just reminded me of that. keep on keeping it real my good man. 🤜🤛
The piece I want to hear him review Descending off of Tool's last album. To me I can already hear the orchestra in full flight! Please someone tell me I am not crazy
That's my favorite reaction you've ever done, Doug. That was great.
I listened to this song on repeat for about 5 years.
What a great perspective on one of my favourite songs
What an amazing reaction 😂 It’s so rare to see Doug almost at a loss for words
This album is their masterpiece, it really proved that they were operating at the highest level. IMO it's their best album, until Fear Inoculum.
Just got my tickets for one of the new Beat shows that was added. Gonna get to see Danny live out another dream and play some of the parts that inspired his style, along with 2 Zappa alums in Belew and Vai and one of the most amazing bass players in rock history Mr. Tony Levin. Recreating music from the 3 King Crimson albums that changed everything in music and inspired many of today's top musicians.
Love your uninhibited enthousiastic and yet thoughtful reactions! My suggestion for a next video would be Flood, from the Undertow album. They have played this in their recent gigs, and if you love heavy bass, you’re gonna adore this one
Tool is my favorite band of it's time... I love so many songs but opiate is one of my absolute favorites... I even have all three of my kids ages 18F, 8M, and 5F loving Tool! So the next generation has knowledge of the good shit!
If you're hitting another album go to Lateralus, but honestly you gotta hit it all.
Stinkfist makes me headbang so hard at a certain spot in the song whenever I hear it live. It’s amazing.
Pure energy. Fantastic song!
“Fuck! What a tune. Man they’re good. They’re just good.” Yup. 👍
Thanks Dougy Fresh! Top 10 album across all genres for me
you have picked the most epic Tool's song. The most epic, the one most of the Tool's fan treasure the most. It speaks so many subjects
Amazing! Indeed.
Oh Danny boy, the drums are callllinnnn 💥💀💥...great reaction Doug ☘️🇺🇸
H. Was the track that made me a believer when I heard it back in '99.
"The Interzone" song by The Tea Party (Canadian band). It's an interesting song to analyze.
This is my favorite Tool song. No contest.
30+ year fan, Eulogy is my favorite. #Toolforever
You really crank these out. Appreciated!! I like the song Stinkfist on this album cause the vocals are a bit different to what I’m used to with Tool
You know what though. This one’s better. Cool lyrical idea
Tool, as we know it, really started with this album. It's arguably their best. ❤
Such a killer album
I have a friend who was "I don't get it" with Tool. I babysat him while he was washed on mushrooms one evening. I played the off beat stuff with his own hands on his leg. We went to many shows years later. 😅
You need to listen to this entire album. Well, worth it and you will not be disappointed.
brilliant song. I listened to this so many damn times back in the day. the way the start builds is just perfect. This album really deserves a full album listen through. it flows so brilliantly. not sure if you've explored any Perfect Circle. more Maynard briliantness.
this is my favourite album of theirs. forty six & 2 HAS to be the next one you listen to.
I just found your content and I think you would absolutely adore the ULTRAKILL soundtrack
A couple songs I would recommend would be
Tenebre roso sangue (by keygen church)
The world looks red (heaven pierce her)
ORDER (heaven pierce her)
WAR (heaven pierce her)
Altars of apostasy (heaven pierce her)
Thank you in advance if you listen to any of these!
Nice take my friend
Yesyesyes😁
LESSS GOOO
You’ll want to check out “Wings For Marie (Pt1)” and “10,000 Days (Wings Pt2)” from 10,000 days as well as “Disposition, Reflection, and Triad” from Lateralus. Those songs will take you on long, emotional journeys that will forever change you 💥
Eulogy is my hidden treasure off Ænima. So many tasty grooves with an intro I didn't know I needed. I like these retrospectives. Great channel, Doug!
I actually think their old bassist, Paul, did this song and one other before he left. Undertow is my favorite record by these guys. The sound is so dark. There was something special when they were just a pissed off dropped-D rock band too.
