You might as well do the whole album lol. One of the best albums of all time
Definitely agree.
There are many worse ways to spend ones time than listening to an entire Tool album.
Still one of the few albums I jammed everyday for months.
Discography *
@@agentsquish and your trying to teach me something and some else. TOOL is universal.
This song won a Grammy in ‘98. Mom = Mother Nature, and what he’s singing about is Los Angeles in particular
much deserved Grammy!!
twas inspired by a comedy album from Bill Hicks, I think entitled Arizona bay. Basically fake elitist Hollywood and Cali becoming submerged from rising tides, thus "flush it all away" as it becomes Arizona Bay.
Hes singing about stupid shit people think is very important. That he references LA is mostly irrelevant, it just seems to be more prevalent there.
@@carlhurley6115 it's completely about LA. he wants it to fall into the ocean. Arizona Bay.. fault lines.. L Ron Hubbard...
@@carlhurley6115 lol cool story, bro.
It's explicitly about L.A. - as ObitZZed explained.
AEnema as an Album is dedicated to Comedian Bill Hicks, who the band toured with early in their careers, and became close friends with him. He died of Cancer in 1994, and a lot of the songs on this album refer to things Bill said. "Arizona Bay" was a bit he did where he talked about how shallow and how awful LA was, and how he couldn't wait till it dropped in the ocean. Thusly, Arizona Bay.
Fun fact: Keenan had started writing Aenema when Bill called him and said "wouldn't it be funny if LA fell into the ocean?". Talking about great minds thinking alike.
Thats how I got into them too.....I was a Bill Hicks fan and the second I heard Maynard singing about "Arizona Bay" he had my full attention....been a Tool fan ever since
@@weedthepeople2795 I was the other way round, Tool lead me to Bill Hicks, been a fan since.
I don't remember who led me to who but if we create our own realities, I created TOOL. You are all welcome. Hahaha
Well done, sir 🙇♂️
"Don't just call me pessimist, try and read between the lines
i can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend"
This is sooo good!
🔥🔥🔥
"Mom's coming round to put it back the way it outta be," and "Mom, please flush it all away" are Mother Earth references. After California slides into the ocean because of earth quakes and tidal waves it becomes "Arizona Bay." Hence the "learn to swim" line. Tool admired the late spoken word comedian, Bill Hicks who has a comedy album "Arizona Bay."
I heard that Bill Hicks stole all his material from Dennis Leary.
Spoken word comedian. Huh.
Thank you. Everyone else thinks this song is about the word needing to end. NOPE! Just L.A.
That's exactly right
lmao.. was thinking the same .
"Mom's gonna fix it all soon. " Refers to Mother Nature
The song is about Los Angeles specifically. About how the world will be a better place the second the San Andreas Fault gives way and the whole West Coast drops into the ocean.
They're from there.
You need to see Tool live. Hands down the best concert I have seen.
The energy in an arena when they do this live, and EVERYONE is screaming it at the top of their lungs right along.... amazing
YES!!!! My absolute favorite Tool song🖤The lyrics mean more to me now than ever before with the way this world has become. It is time. Please flush it all away!!
I grew up in LA, very special song to me.👍
Yes California needs to be flushed now more than when the song was written
@@roadrash2005 Amen! I think it's time for the whole world to be honest😒
as a californian......needed more than ever in today's ecopolitical environment......wake up california
This album and song really showcases the two sides of Tool.
On one hand, they can be masterfully cerebral and powerfully poignant. Lateralus, Right in Two, Wings for Marie/10,000 Days, and Forty-Six and Two are perfect examples of this.
The other side of Tool is... An interesting mix of tongue-in-cheek jokes (Die Eier von Satan is a spoken word bit that sounds like a passionate speech in German, but is actually a recipe for a cookies called the Balls of Satan), extremely snide critique (Aenima has a not-so-subtle jab at Scientology, and H.W.A.P. is a brutal diss of fans who hypocritically called them sellouts), and some oddly comical songs (Rosetta Stoned is an acid trip of a track in this regard).
And then there's Mockingbeat which I believe (haven't looked into confirmation) is a jab at the pessimistic "fans" that guessed there'd be lots of space on Fear Inoculum taken up by animal noises and weird beats 😂
Don't forget the song, 'Maynard's Dick'
This whole album is just fire, but most of them are.
All*
Tool has so many great songs, Ticks & Leeches, 7empest, Sober, Schism, Forty Six&2, The Grudge. Take care Aileen👋🏻❤️
Tool has many great songs = all of them!
Ticks and Leaches is the only Tool song I don’t like, and yes, I know it’s a joke song, but it ruins an otherwise flawless album.
Finally, an articulate deep thinker that grasps the concept. Love your trane of thought. Ty.
I was listening to this song as I pulled up to the Dutch Bros for a drink and the kid who took my order heard about 20 seconds of this and was like "oh my god..." I told him, "welcome to my generation. We were pissed...and we still are."
Would like to see you react to "Vicarious". Not many reactors have done it (which baffles my mind) .It is definitely one of their best songs and the message of the song I believe will intrigue you.
Yeah man, absolutely love that song but it never gets much air time 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed. It's a killer track, and often overlooked.
Hells yes
They are amazing live! I honestly think they are better live than on album.
This song is a lullaby to the fine people who populate LA, lyrics are required!
I saw Tool only once when they were a part of the 1998 Ozzfest Tour. That whole show was complete and utter madness. Tool was the second to last band right before Ozzy and right before them was Megadeth, Soulfly, Sevendust and System of a Down. I was practically legally dead by the time Tool came on along with like 75 percent of the crowd but as soon as Tool walked on stage everyone including myself got a second wind.
This song was the high point of the whole concert. Something like 13,000 people in unison singing "LEARN TO SWIM! LEARN TO SWIM! LEARN TO SWIM! LEARN TO SWIM!" is something I'll never forget. However that all being said, I'm still a little miffed at Ozzfest for the way they set things up between the two stages. They gave a Sophie's Choice with Tool on one stage and goddamned Motorhead on the other. I picked Tool, but it was a TOUGH call.
This is the Greatest song ever written by Tool ... I was in North Hollywood in January of '94 for the Northridge Earthquake.
(It was... Soul Changing...)
This song captures that moment... That week... That year...
Every member of the band was on absolute top form for this song. One of the best songs EVER
Yay! Finally! lol. My favorite Tool song, honestly. I first heard this song December 31, 1995 at one of the first few Primus NYE shows, where Tool played > 1 hour as an opening act, and about half their set was songs off of AEnima, including Pushit. The mind-blowing part regarding that show is that AEnima didn't get released until early *September* of '96, more than *9 months* later. So, we were some of the first people in the *world* to hear those songs. Oh, and even after Tool's set was done, we still had something like 90+ minutes of Primus to look forward to for everyone to ring in the New Year. If anyone wants to experience that set, here's a link to the actual show itself (video quality is total ass, no surprise, but audio is actually listenable): th-cam.com/video/t_nFCRJ4rqg/w-d-xo.html
That sounds epic! Love Primus and Tool and can’t believe Tool opened for Primus? Awesome
Primus Sucks!
That would’ve been nuts
Vicarious and right in two next please from tool
I’ve already clicked on this twice thinking it was already recorded! Hurry up! 😅😂
Listened to this MANY times and I only just now realized the end is someone (or mankind, or LA) grasping for breath, breaths getting shorter and shorter, then one last longer gasp, and death. Wow just wow. Pure ART.
When I was in high school this album came out. We had to write a poem for English class. My best friend nelson forgot and when we got to class the next day he said “gimme a pen and paper quick”. We passed our papers forward and I asked him what he wrote and he said he wrote the lyrics to aenima. He got an A and our English teacher loved it.
VICARIOUS!! That needs to be next 🤘🏻🔥
This song is insane, I loved your reaction, keep it up cuz you are killing it dear ❤️❤️
Funny thing, I listen to Tool since over 20 years, but for a long time I was missing so much depth. One example is that only since like 2-3 years I started to really hear Danny, now I am huge fan of him and Aenema is my personal best Danny's performance. Drum parts blow my mind every time I listen to this song nowadays.
Watching videos like yours helps to explore deeper parts of Tool phenomena, so thank you very much and keep doing what you do !
you haven’t done Aenema yet ! No way So excited actually.
Seeing this song performed live is an experience among itself.
Love your reaction as always ! Tool are more than Music and Songs; it's an expercience and a trip...!
thank you! ❤
OMG! I love the way you explained the song!! Perfect reaction from a beautiful reactor. 🤟🏼
My all time favorite Tool song. This is the song of my people.
Awesome reaction! Love the observation of the second half being a bit more feminine. I think mother nature is representative of that too. Feminine traits I think lead to more understanding and compassion which leads to solutions. And their next album Lateralus was all about letting go of your problems and healing 💯
I appreciate you stopping by! Another fellow TOOL lover! 🤘
He's literally talking about mother nature washing everything Away "mom"
On this tour I saw them and met Adam jones parents as they walked out after the show.
His mom proudly said “our son is the LEAD guitarist” lol
You are the best! It’s like you’re looking at my list of favorite bands and reacting to them. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☺️😉😊
Thank you for doing this song, when I first paid attention to the lyrics, I was like ....ohh, ok, I need to "learn to swim" and I'm glad I live in Buffalo, NY✌️
Love your reactions Senpai!! Hope this is the beginning of your next Tool spiral!! Right in Two is amazing also! Beautiful bit haunting message!
Mom=Mother Nature. “Learn to Swim, see you down in Arizona Bay”. That’s him praying for California to slide into the ocean, thus creating Beach front property in Arizona.
My cousin bought this album in 1996 when it was released and we both listened to it from beginning to end. This album was my first introduction to TOOL and it changed my life. I have been a huge TOOL fan ever since.
I discovered your channel recently. Your reactions are great! Love Tool!
thank you! ❤
What a perfect song!
RIP Bill Hicks
JFC! 😆 Multiple Toolgasm’s during this reaction 😂 In all seriousness, I really enjoy your Tool reactions, you get the spiritual side, the mental side, the emotional side, & the music side of Tool. Keep rockin’ 🤘🏻
Simply the most calming channel I have found in the past 2 days.
This song jams, they have more also
Great reaction, as always!
He's actually singing about L.A. in particular. He's always voiced his displeasure living there.
I've been listening to this song for 27 years!! You have been The only person to react as I did when I was15 years old!! Thank youfor your reaction!! You are appreciated
A cutie who’s into Tool?!! I’m in Heaven 😍Subscribed!!!
thank you so much! ❤
Just found your channel and glad I did, I appreciate your real and honest opinion. 💯🤘
"Ma" (mother) refers to Mother Nature, a metaphorical force capable of wiping/washing/flushing Los Angeles off the face of the Earth.
Subbed just because you are all in with the Aenema.
This and "Third Eye" are probably my favorite Tools in my Tool Box.
Something in life isn't working?
I take either song and bash that problem over and over again with them playing at 11 on the dial when possible.
Just found this channel and want to say thanks for sharing this. As weird as it is, since i'm just watching, it's nice to share these songs with someone else since no one i know listens to tool. That being said, i'm surprised you haven't done a reaction for "Right in Two". The song itself is great. However, for a long time there was a video someone had made independently that a fan put to the song that was simply perfect for it. I still hope that tool will make an official video with it so that we can hear it today, since the label pulled it for copyright, which is pretty much a crime in my opinion.
thanks to you I shall be checking out more tool songs ! this was amazing
Glad you enjoyed! thank you! ❤
@@AileenSenpai always ! ♥️
Love this song ...anytime any fucking day
I look at the ending, with the chanting, as a rain dance. Praying to mother nature for the rain to fall, to flush it all away. 🙏
Def my fav tool song
Just found your channel. Bad ass job. You do great. Keep your head up 😎🤙🏻
Definitely would like to see your reaction to Ticks & Leeches, it's one of the heaviest intros from Tool in my opinion. Something that just kicks down the door and pulls you for a wild ride from the jump. Has an awesome balance of depth yet simplicity in it's meaning.
The only Tool song I don’t like…
He's talking about LA, not the world, although I'd say it's probably applicable to most of California, lol.
2 seconds in. Holy love your VOICE IS AMAZING
Amazing reaction my friend Aileen!!...I love your reactions to Dimash, the best male singer of the world (In my personal opinion)...Now I want to invite you to meet, who is considered one of the Best Female Singers of the World (The best in my personal opinion)...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian.....Lara is the best female singer and performer of the world...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control...She speaks and composes in 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see covers of her songs on TH-cam made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Forestella, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Giulia Falcone, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Rimar, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the son>g “Je Suis Malade”....th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant insight and interpretation, worthy of a subscription. Great job, great channel!!!
Idk if you read these this far back? I'm really enjoying your reactions to all this music that I love! Your videos really help pass the time being stuck in a hospital bed really sux! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, Halloween is coming up soon would you consider doing WASP the big welcome inside the electric circus please 🙏 and please give a shout out to cancer awareness please 🙏
Here for it!
At the 9:45 mark, that's literally a lyric from another Tool song. Lateralus. It's crazy how many songs from this era are coming back up and resonating in today's world. This song, Rage Against the Machine, N.W.A. The fight for human rights. The police brutality is back in the news, even though it never really stopped being a problem. When "Mom" flushed, she didn't make sure to jiggle the handle cuz the shit's still floating around.
Really loved to see some Type O Negative on the channel. Peters dark humour goes hand in hand with Tool.
You should react to ticks and leeches by tool 🔥
Nice to see someone's reaction videos where they actually do a little research and/or have the intelligence to explain the meaning of the title and lyrics ! I realize as a long time musician that ones own interpretation of a song is very important but some of these reaction videos just seems like they have no idea what their talking about so thank you for that ! Cheers !
🤘🤘
As much as I dig the drumming gotta give props to the bass player them two are a vibe
The world is better with you in it.
GREAT REACTION, GREAT INSIGHT AS ALWAYS.........love channel!👍🤘🤘
Thank you so much 😀
Yeah, Maynard's asking for Mother Earth/Mother Nature to do her thing here and get rid of LA/California. Tidal waves & fault lines which would knock California into the Pacific Ocean and form Arizona Bay - hence the "learn to swim" for everyone in LA. (flush it all away)
when he said "moms gonna fix it soon. yea moms gonna put it back the way it oughta be" he is talking about Mother nature. the force that has the power to finish off this civilization.
Really great reaction vid, as always. You do them justice, thank you 🙏🏼🤘🏼🌀👁🧘🏻♂️🙌🏼
Thank you so much!! 🤘
@@AileenSenpai Thank YOU! 🤘🏼
So amazing watching Tool evolve throughout their catalog. From anger to a more stoic, zen-like philosophy coupled with amazing lyrics/music= amazing. Spiral Out...
Also really need to listen 2 eulogy
This is the song that started my love of Tool! Such a killer song!
Working, a few years back, in Phoenix, this was the chant ":Learn to swim" by he local wait staff.
This song will be worth tons when this shit actually happens. Good stuff!
The first time i heard this , my friend said the drums had a “ tribal” feel. Danny ( well everyone in the band ) is/are amazing .
Her heart rate dropped when she was listening and spiked when she tried to relate to a world of idiots.
One of us!!!
Hun I hate to be this guy. I saw you hearted and I had to say something. You're heart rate is too high. You're running in the high 70's/ low 80's. You want that in the high 50's/low 60's..that's literally how hard your heart is working.
Please. Take a deep breath. Go watch a river run for an hour. Find a beehive and watch them work.
love your life attitude about at least having a sense of humor about the sad state of affairs this world has going for it. love the videos.
One of my favorite tool songs , it’s what we need in California that’s for sure
Tool is one of those special bands. You have great bands and then there are bands like Tool and Rage that just take things to a new level and in such a unique way.
Bill Hicks; Arizona Bay.
Brilliant controversial comedy album.
"Learn to Swim, see you down in Arizona Bay"
You should do Ticks and Leeches next. Their record company wanted a song for radio play and they came up with a masterpiece!
One of my favs
Tool is ridiculously genius
I love that you have a dark sense of humor. I think one needs that given "the state of the world" in relation to this song and beyond. lol sad but what can you do. You're voice in this sounds unnecessarily pretty and I like your shirt! You should check out the band Coheed and Cambria on your journey.
Coheed and cambria- "the light and the glass live acoustic" is a great start. But literally every song they have in their diverse catalog is amazing. Another rabbit hole. keep it up. love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
So happy I found your channel, and someone with a brain! You've earned a sub! I'm along for the ride! Can't wait for the tool journey. A couple songs you may want to save for later on in the sequence. Parabol/parabola, wings for marie/10,000 days ( both sets should be played back to back as one song, and the Holly trinity(disposition,reflection, and triad) all one song. Have a great day! I love jambi and right in two at the moment
Maynard= genius he has to listen to the almost finished project before he puts lyrics to it
"I wanna see the ground give way. I want to watch it all go down. Mom, please flush it all away." Mom isn't very nurturing in this context. She's rearranging humanity's face. A project that has become increasingly evident in the last couple years. He was singing about LA, but this applies virtually everywhere now. A hundred times worse now than it was when this song came out.
This was one of the first Tool songs I ever heard as a teenager. This album, and also Sober, and Prison Sex were my introduction to the band. Became aware of both Tool and Rage Against the Machine around the same time, and they both had an impact that's still with me to this day.
I love how every time a Tool song start ppl head gets to nodding. It's the best part of the reactions.
“Pass the god damn butter”
Say that over and over as the song begins and you’ll get how Danny came up with the rhythm.
Just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous x p.s keep up the good work smashing these reviews out the park
Thank you so much! ❤️
More than welcome stunningly beautiful lady, love the work some classic songs been cover and your passion for good music is clear to see xx
Oh forgot to mention I think you'd like the diversity morbid angel has from horror doom to lightspeed death metal with amazing musicianship
Ahhh yes this takes me back to 1997 blasting this on my Sony Diskman before football games. I know for a fact I gave myself proper CTE in those games.. probably to the other guys also..
Nicholson‘s Joker [re Gotham]: This town needs an enema!
Maynard [re LA]: same
Maynard's lyrics are so penetrating and efficacious because they are often so very acerbic, satirical, and sardonic--frequently written in cultural metaphors and myths. And, "Mom's gonna fix it all soon" (etc. etc.) is referring to Mother Earth; that is the feminine presence you were referring to.
Maynard's a master lyricist! Glad I grew up in this generation of music (while my son has to grow up of TikTok one hit wonders and "autotone" drowned GARBAGE and RAP
I listened to this song while in LA. It should be the theme song to the city
