I've been listening to Tool since the 90's and have really delved into the meanings behind their lyrics, but that comment blew my mind! Sir you've opened my mind to deeper and deeper levels of understanding here and I am honored. "To remove the shadow you'd have to remove the source of light itself..." thank you thank you thank you! You'll never know how much this comment has unlocked for me, having had my own issues with the subject matter. God Bless You Sir! ❤
Yes, I just came from the Danny Carey video and this man Abdul is incredibly insightful and open-minded. He gave me a new appreciation for a song I've been listening to for 30 years, which is truly a gift.
it amazes me how deep their commentary is despite not knowing the language nor being apart of the same culture. I've watched many young American 'reactors' who have absolutely nothing of substance to say. Just "this song was good" or "i like this a lot." But these guys have me completely captivated even with subtitles. wonderful
I love Muharam's passion for music in general. And he is so right about how impressive it is that Maynard can sing the way he does while contorting his body in such strange ways.
As an autistic person (a long time Tool fan, and someone with a big interest in psychology) this was an extremely interesting video for me. Because of my autism, I am unable to read people and understand the emotions they're expressing. So while I have my own emotions while listening to the music, I wouldn't understand the emotions in the performance. So seeing these gentleman, who grew up and live in a completely differnet environment than I do, and not understanding the lyrics as they hear it, analyzing and understanding the song and performance was extremely beautiful to see. They are all so well spoken and philosphical. Thank you for showing them, and sharing their input with us ❤
That's the biggest reason that I've been watching for so long. I double majored in psychology and sociology so my interest in watching people is always coming from a psychological viewpoint. I can never get over how well they are able to interpret the meanings of these songs without knowing the lyrics. It's a beautiful thing that music can truly cross all boundaries including language and societal norms
We all can bring our own perspectives that others may not be able to see by themselves. As much as you appreciate their interpretations, I'm sure you'd have your own unique insights that someone like me may not be able to glean. Art really is a great medium to allow us to come closer to understanding each other as long as we are open to it.
@@whispersmith Hehe, my response was the other side of that coin. Some people know how to listen. To, with an open mind (and/or heart), let the idea sprout and take form, then inhabit it as it inhabits you, feel it out. Then make a decision.
@@JanjayTrollface i agree. i think its because these guys WANT to understand. they want to learn. i think too many people think they already know enough
@@haiasi8161 I think too many people think they know enough…that’s beautiful, and sad, because it’s true. Kids online, regurgitating bs they’ve read online, then it becomes their life’s goal…like Candace Owen’s said: life is tough, get a helmet. Born in 1968, I always knew your own life was going to be what you, yourself did with it.
It is criminal that this channel only has 249K subs. CRIMINAL. This is a venture into anthropology as well as musicology in one place. Two heartbeats of the same drum that make us human beings.
Not when I hear it. It sounds like it was recorded in a trash can. There are literally cell phone videos with better versions of this song. This version was recorded in mono and transferred from a VHS tape. I think you guys don't want people to like Tool when you let your nostalgia for this version cloud the objective reality of how terrible it sounds. The band themselves hate this recording.
@@juilescieg Yes. Simply search on TH-cam for Tool : Live Sober and listen to the Cell phone recordings people have. The sound quality is legitimately better.
The older guy in yellow nailed the meaning of this & understood the performance art faster than any new age, western world reactor on TH-cam 👏 🙌 Well done sir.
Invincible has lyrics that I relate to even in my relative youth (creeping up on middle age) but I think it would resonate even more with these gentlemen
Your channel/videos always hit me very hard. Growing up Pakistani (mostly in the US) I always felt so lost that no one in my family understood me or understood my music. Now I see these tribal people understanding feelings I felt growing up that these songs helped me with, but why couldn't my parents? It makes me sad but also gives me hope that things can get better. I hope you continue doing this. I love watching your videos.
Wow….excellent comments. I’m always moved by the depth of understanding these men share with us. And also by how Maynard’s performance can show its meaning to people of an entirely different culture. This was wonderful to watch. Please share my thanks with all of them.
I’m an alcoholic, and I struggle with the desire to drink every day, even if I win the day. This song hits home. Thank you for highlighting this song, band, and issue. All love 🙏🏼❤️
Life is alwats an uphill battle, at least i think i can speak for most of us on that. Youre never alone. Even if its just for today thats a win for the day. Please look for power in our creator!
I struggle with it too and you win some you lose some . But you at least know and admit it . That's the first step to recovery . You are not alone . Be well .
The beautiful thing about this channel is that it keeps happening... No matter our cultural differences, they're seeing and pointing out the same things we all see. So awesome and inspiring. Wish I could shake all these gentlemen's hands.
Much respect for how well you manage to translate the lyrics for the gentlemen in this video, it can be extremely tough to do, especially since the meanings themselves often don't fully translate over. Syntax is difficult, especially with languages with very different structures.
We all are dependent on this content because when you show something to someone for the first time, you may relive that first experience yourself trough the person you are showing it to. I crave for more😂 Thank you, and wish you all the best!
This is my favorite band, and a really great song. I loved watching them react to the song and analyze the lyrics and the performance. The artists of Tool have long refused to elaborate on the meanings of their songs because they want you to interpret it yourself. So the way they engaged with it and delved into meanings was great. I think it's a tribute to the art if it intrigues you and compels you enough to think about its meanings. Loved the video!
I am so happy all of you got to experience Tool! This is my favorite band because the way they make music is so different than anything else out there. Maynard makes sure his voice isn't the main show, he literally uses it as another instrument in the band. They write the music before the lyrics. And the lyrics, wow. Maynard has a wonderful way with words. They are so deep and creative and thought provoking. The band also uses different time signatures than other music as well. Tool is something different and special. I am so happy my favorite Tribal people get to hear my favorite band.
a vocal coach once reacted on the vocalist posture when singing, said it was unbelievable he could still sing so good whilest his posture was un natural to sing.
Thank you so much for looking at this. I was one (of many) that asked for it. Please consider taking a look at the song "46+2" which speaks to mankind's next evolution🙏
I have a whole new appreciation for Sober, after watching this video. These men explaining what they understood from the music and the movements alone made the whole thing make much more sense to me now. And I'm a looooong time Tool fan. I guess the meaning of the song just never really clicked with me - but now it does. Thank you!
Trybals, you’re doing something truly great for the world. Our cultures don’t define us, our humanity does. Your Mr. Rogers videos should be mandatory watching for world diplomats. Thank you all for sharing with the world.
I love your reactions to Tool! There will never be another band like them. Hope to see more Tool reaction from yall! Maybe wanna try Pneuma again but the official audio with headphones. Such an immersive experience.✨✨✨
The man with the long beard is right. Without eliminating all light and being consumed by the shadow, you never hit your bottom and therefore never see any reason to resist the shadow. One of the first things I learned in AA. There has to be a bottom for real recovery. Otherwise that shadow will whisper to you, 'You can do this on your own.' And back you go.
Awesome!! I’m so glad they enjoyed and appreciated the song. Great job to everyone! I wouldn’t be sad if they listened to more Tool/ A Perfect Circle. Thanks, Adnan!
Thank you, sirs. Also be aware the addiction was probably heroin, which makes your skin crawl and feel itchy. I love your perspective, as always! God bless!
It's always wonderful to see Mr. Baloch, his insights and sage wisdom is a continual blessing. Seeing him understand and appreciate tool is icing on the cake. He expressed things from this song which I've listened to for nearly 30 years that had never crossed my mind, you have my thanks sir, love from USA.❤
I am so impressed with the content of this channel. I hear you sirs often say "We are simple people" but that is untrue- you are all so observant and complex and critical in your reviews and understanding of the music and intention of the pieces you watch, that you are far advanced.❤
First, what a beautiful language. Pleasing to the ears. Second, I love the different ideas from each generation. Third, thank you for trying to relate to western music. Would love to hear some eastern music and what it means to you all.
I waited for a quiet moment to watch this with full attention. I love your deep dive with this one, you have touched me letting them share this with me.❤ So wise and I bet Maynard and the guys would be chuffed, flattered and surprised.😅
Really great to watch ... The director did a very good job explaining the song and asking questions ! I am middle aged man in Texas with few friends and family but of the people I DO know from my job and homelife , / intereact with , 3 people are alcoholics . ( One is recovered / not drinking regularly ) It struck me , listening to these men in the video , how similar the negative issue of alcohol is all over the world . Great reaction !
This reaction was amazing! You are all amazing men and to see you so open minded to react to this truly made my day🥰Talent is talent and to see people appreciate that regardless of the type of music speaks volumes. Your insights are excellent. Thank you for doing your videos and my best of everything to you all. Having three different generations react is so nice to see😁
This is the beauty of a multi-cultural world, analyzing Tool music from the 90s across the world in the 2020s. This is the world I served in the military to protect! Keep up the good work.
I’ve listened to this song dozens of times over the last 30 years. But hearing these gentlemen discuss it still somehow gives me new insight and understanding. Thanks to them for always being open to listen and broaden their perspectives. In turn, it broadens mine as well.
"To me his music is a reflection of truth honestly" this is amazing to hear. Was cool to see how some opinions changed from the Pneuma performance. And your interpretation of the lyrics, while not exact, were able to capture the essence and translate it well to each of them who were able to understand very quickly. Super good video!
The way he’s still able to sing with such force and his diaphragm is all twisted and bent is simply amazing. Also the body language- as if he’s in pain. Thank you sir
I've loved TOOL since 1991, and I am soo glad you guys did a song by them, I find the interpretations insightful and accurate to my views on this song. Peace be with you.
I really enjoyed the format of the video and was impressed with how easily the folks picked up on things about the artist/song given the language challenges.
I love these Tool reactions, keep them coming :) Great work, I love to see the angle, that your guests see these songs from :) Also, I wonder, after seeing this performance and understanding how deep Maynard is with his lyrics, energy and performance, do they still think a more upbeat singer such as Michael Jackson would be better suited to the band? :)
I love these beautiful gems of human beings and their thoughtful comments and insights. There's so much incredible music for them to discover too the options are endless.
This analysis is incredibly fun to listen to (read, in my case) - yes, this is why I watch first-time reactions to musicians I love. Abdul (the guy with the great beard? if I have his name remembered correctly) has some great quotes to relay when he provides his analysis. He did in the previous video I watched too. I think that was his name - I can't quite find it by seeking, but I'm pretty sure the man with the glorious beard is Abdul? yes Tool's music IS like a lesson to his millions upon millions of fans - even those who can't get past the same demons. In fact, I can attest many of those people who are still lost in their addictions find his music perhaps MORE profound. Tool is quite a profound band, in many ways, not just the lyrics. I'm happy to see these guys recognize that - now that I've watched several videos I am really loving the thought they put into their analyses. Tool is one of the bands that - not due to the message as much as the wonderful sounds - helped me out of my dependencies. At that time in my life, it provided me with a joy that I don't NEED to distance myself from - Music. I still listen to all of Tool's music today. In fact, my current employment allows me to listen to music all I want through the day, in my car. The lights in our lives we never need a reason to replace, the ones that don't also cause us harm, are the ones that sustain us. I know music, and Tool being one of the primary bands I listened to, certainly helped remove me from so many of my troubles, even if just temporarily, it was a positive influence and I'll never forget it - even if I go deaf, you can guess what I will be hearing inside my own head. Great video again you guys - keep up the good work, I had no choice but to subscribe.
I love seeing how some things can transcend cultures. Tool is certainly one of the most talented groups of our time. I appreciate this channel very much for giving me an insight to people who I will never meet in person. So much of the news is about hate and war between our two parts of the world and it is so tragic and sad. I imagine many of our core values are likely the same. I wish I could have one if not all of these men as a neighbor (I might need a translator though).
The apparently I will watch anyone do a reaction video about tool, but these guys are by far the most interesting. Listen to them takes me back and makes me remember why tool is so influential in my musical upbringing. They definitely have a more poetic disposition when describing the lyrics and their presentation
Thank you for bringing these gentlemen and showing the world what your way of thinking is, they are all very wise, an affectionate greeting to them and my respects. Maybe later, in some videos, you will also like to see and listen to music from Brazil, since it is very different and particular. Or also folklore from Argentina.
Hello sir, I am a longtime fan of your videos and diehard fan of TOOL. It is fascinating to see these gentlemen’s reactions to the previous video for Pneuma as well as this one- and I humbly ask you to please make a video of them reacting to the songs “Disposition” and “Reflection” as they have always struck a chord in me being a descent of South Asian culture born and raised in America. I am curious of how’d they’d react to the use of the tabla in “Disposition”and the very primal sensation I pick up when listening to “Reflection.” Thank you again for these videos.
The fact that these wise men can find the deeper meaning of songs shows how in tune they are with emotions and understanding of human behavior. They've opened my eyes as to how wise these elders can be.
I've watched a alot of your reactions and I love how all of you interpret the songs. You are so insightful and wise. I have a new appreciation for our Pakistani brothers. God bless you. I look forward to your next review.❤
Was a pretty big Tool fan growing up and never saw any live footage back then thanks to no TH-cam etc. An impressive live performance, but not nuanced enough I think for the elders to properly get into and enjoy. I think more instrumental stuff would be good to see, highly recommend Rush's Xanadu live - I think the guys would be blown away by the talent on top of Geddy lee's incredibly high voice! Great video!
“I don’t think he had a good barber around.” Is one of the funniest comments I’ve heard in 21 years of Tool fandom. Thank you.
I really hope this reaches Maynard, he'll probably have a laugh too. lol.
I havent even watched the video yet-went straight to the comments and am 😂😂😂😂!
Yes indeed lmao. That laughter caved my chest in.
One of the best comments ever
lol! MJK would get a kick out of that 😂
"it's such complex music but good thing you have someone like me today" -- the distinct cry of a new TOOL fan being born
Same guy: "Why did you stop it, sir?" - this IS one of Tool's shorter songs to be fair to him ;)
Underrated comment 😂
"To remove the shadow, you'd have to remove light itself".
Woah, that is, exactly it. This wise man understood it right away.
I've been listening to Tool since the 90's and have really delved into the meanings behind their lyrics, but that comment blew my mind! Sir you've opened my mind to deeper and deeper levels of understanding here and I am honored. "To remove the shadow you'd have to remove the source of light itself..." thank you thank you thank you! You'll never know how much this comment has unlocked for me, having had my own issues with the subject matter. God Bless You Sir! ❤
Damn
Yes, I just came from the Danny Carey video and this man Abdul is incredibly insightful and open-minded. He gave me a new appreciation for a song I've been listening to for 30 years, which is truly a gift.
Or just light it up from all sides...
As soon as the first ray of light appeared, the first shadow appeared.
Bram Stocker. ShadowBuilder
it amazes me how deep their commentary is despite not knowing the language nor being apart of the same culture. I've watched many young American 'reactors' who have absolutely nothing of substance to say. Just "this song was good" or "i like this a lot." But these guys have me completely captivated even with subtitles. wonderful
"There he is sir, Danny is there" - got me all emotional like he's seeing his friend all over again.
Same here ❤ i love to see people loving tool, specially Danny
Omg ! Same! They love Danny as much as we do now 🙂
It is amazing how they immediately understood the way Maynard was presenting the song with his movements.. Wow! :)
This channel is a golden example of using technology to better humanity.
we all are happy to share and receive it is our nature
It really is beautiful.
"Why did you stop, sir?" Is what I say after every Tool song ends. I wish they kept going!
That guy joined the Tool army without knowing it lol.
"Even the moonlight casts a shadow" is so poetic
I love Muharam's passion for music in general. And he is so right about how impressive it is that Maynard can sing the way he does while contorting his body in such strange ways.
I love watching the face vocal coaches make when seeing his position lol
As an autistic person (a long time Tool fan, and someone with a big interest in psychology) this was an extremely interesting video for me. Because of my autism, I am unable to read people and understand the emotions they're expressing. So while I have my own emotions while listening to the music, I wouldn't understand the emotions in the performance. So seeing these gentleman, who grew up and live in a completely differnet environment than I do, and not understanding the lyrics as they hear it, analyzing and understanding the song and performance was extremely beautiful to see. They are all so well spoken and philosphical. Thank you for showing them, and sharing their input with us ❤
That's the biggest reason that I've been watching for so long. I double majored in psychology and sociology so my interest in watching people is always coming from a psychological viewpoint.

How do these guys understand the message but my parents couldn't? 🤣🤣

@@JanjayTrollface i agree. i think its because these guys WANT to understand. they want to learn. i think too many people think they already know enough
When I watch these guys, I often think of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Wise men, untainted by the internet and biased news feeds.

The older guy in yellow nailed the meaning of this & understood the performance art faster than any new age, western world reactor on TH-cam 👏 🙌 Well done sir.
Abdul Aziz really understands TOOL, you can see it in his eyes when he watches.
I think they would appreciate "Reflection" from Tool a lot.
I don't think they can handle stinkfist lol
Yes. Good shout 👏
I was thinking it would be interesting to see their reaction to "The Grudge."
I was thinking about Triad!
Invincible has lyrics that I relate to even in my relative youth (creeping up on middle age) but I think it would resonate even more with these gentlemen

"we all learn together" from your guest says it all...
Watching Abdul ji’s reaction always gives me chills. And the way he lays it all out so well. All of you guys are great!
They are all such wise men! I love what he says about even the moonlight casts a shadow…..that’s poem content!

One day at a time!
I struggle with it too and you win some you lose some . But you at least know and admit it . That's the first step to recovery . You are not alone . Be well .
Thanks for the lyric breakdown , tool is multi layered. Welcome to the spiral. 😊 ❤
The beautiful thing about this channel is that it keeps happening... No matter our cultural differences, they're seeing and pointing out the same things we all see. So awesome and inspiring. Wish I could shake all these gentlemen's hands.
I was going to comment that too. We have so much more in common than what we realise - I love that this channel shows it.
Muharam clearly loves all music but he is most definitely a metalhead 🖤🔥
Props to these gentlemen for listening and approaching something so different from their norm with such open minds! The comments are gold!
Much respect for how well you manage to translate the lyrics for the gentlemen in this video, it can be extremely tough to do, especially since the meanings themselves often don't fully translate over. Syntax is difficult, especially with languages with very different structures.

I enjoy talking to men of faith about the song Right In Two. It would be nice to see you gentlemen talk about that one.
With Intension as a lead-in, to get the full theme.
This is my favorite band, and a really great song. I loved watching them react to the song and analyze the lyrics and the performance. The artists of Tool have long refused to elaborate on the meanings of their songs because they want you to interpret it yourself. So the way they engaged with it and delved into meanings was great.

I love Tool, my favorite band, and I just loved this video. Show them Rage Againts the Machine! hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
A lyrical analysis of Lateralus would be hella interesting.
Abdul is the wisest tool fan I've ever seen the toolmaster! 👍🏻😉
"Even the moonlight casts a shadow
So you would not ve able to go out at night, too"
I'm sorry, credit where it's due, but I'm using that for a song.
Poetic yes
a vocal coach once reacted on the vocalist posture when singing, said it was unbelievable he could still sing so good whilest his posture was un natural to sing.
Thank you so much for looking at this. I was one (of many) that asked for it. Please consider taking a look at the song "46+2" which speaks to mankind's next evolution🙏
I have a whole new appreciation for Sober, after watching this video. These men explaining what they understood from the music and the movements alone made the whole thing make much more sense to me now. And I'm a looooong time Tool fan. I guess the meaning of the song just never really clicked with me - but now it does. Thank you!
Trybals, you’re doing something truly great for the world. Our cultures don’t define us, our humanity does. Your Mr. Rogers videos should be mandatory watching for world diplomats. Thank you all for sharing with the world.
I love your reactions to Tool! There will never be another band like them. Hope to see more Tool reaction from yall!
Maybe wanna try Pneuma again but the official audio with headphones. Such an immersive experience.✨✨✨
The man with the long beard is right. Without eliminating all light and being consumed by the shadow, you never hit your bottom and therefore never see any reason to resist the shadow.
One of the first things I learned in AA. There has to be a bottom for real recovery. Otherwise that shadow will whisper to you, 'You can do this on your own.' And back you go.
Thank you guys for being so open and for linking our different cultures! Thank you for your openness and kindness
Awesome!! I’m so glad they enjoyed and appreciated the song. Great job to everyone! I wouldn’t be sad if they listened to more Tool/ A Perfect Circle. Thanks, Adnan!
These videos give me such a powerful inspiration to learn a new language.
I love this channel.
Saw Tool in concert in 1998 - Was an amazing experience. It's great to see you all exploring this in so much depth
Thank you, sirs. Also be aware the addiction was probably heroin, which makes your skin crawl and feel itchy. I love your perspective, as always! God bless!
Always interesting, Trybal friends!
I fucking love these guys! This is now my favorite music site. Hands down.

Oh, an OGT from the first EP! Do you still wear 501's and Vans with a Beastie-Tee?
😜
I really enjoyed the format of the video and was impressed with how easily the folks picked up on things about the artist/song given the language challenges.
I love these Tool reactions, keep them coming :) Great work, I love to see the angle, that your guests see these songs from :) Also, I wonder, after seeing this performance and understanding how deep Maynard is with his lyrics, energy and performance, do they still think a more upbeat singer such as Michael Jackson would be better suited to the band? :)
Nice. Love tool.
I love these beautiful gems of human beings and their thoughtful comments and insights. There's so much incredible music for them to discover too the options are endless.
He's saying 'Mother Mary can you whisper' not Whistle 🤗
This analysis is incredibly fun to listen to (read, in my case) - yes, this is why I watch first-time reactions to musicians I love. Abdul (the guy with the great beard? if I have his name remembered correctly) has some great quotes to relay when he provides his analysis. He did in the previous video I watched too.
I think that was his name - I can't quite find it by seeking, but I'm pretty sure the man with the glorious beard is Abdul? yes Tool's music IS like a lesson to his millions upon millions of fans - even those who can't get past the same demons. In fact, I can attest many of those people who are still lost in their addictions find his music perhaps MORE profound. Tool is quite a profound band, in many ways, not just the lyrics. I'm happy to see these guys recognize that - now that I've watched several videos I am really loving the thought they put into their analyses.
Tool is one of the bands that - not due to the message as much as the wonderful sounds - helped me out of my dependencies. At that time in my life, it provided me with a joy that I don't NEED to distance myself from - Music. I still listen to all of Tool's music today. In fact, my current employment allows me to listen to music all I want through the day, in my car. The lights in our lives we never need a reason to replace, the ones that don't also cause us harm, are the ones that sustain us.
I know music, and Tool being one of the primary bands I listened to, certainly helped remove me from so many of my troubles, even if just temporarily, it was a positive influence and I'll never forget it - even if I go deaf, you can guess what I will be hearing inside my own head.
Great video again you guys - keep up the good work, I had no choice but to subscribe.
i love what you do, and i love the reactions! well done
I love seeing how some things can transcend cultures. Tool is certainly one of the most talented groups of our time.
I appreciate this channel very much for giving me an insight to people who I will never meet in person. So much of the news is about hate and war between our two parts of the world and it is so tragic and sad. I imagine many of our core values are likely the same. I wish I could have one if not all of these men as a neighbor (I might need a translator though).
Fantastic reaction. Love this channel, more Tool!
Great Work, Thank You!
Wow such interesting perspectives. Very inspiring video!
Everything about this is wonderful!!! Tool are of wizards sonics and lyrics! Can't wait for Third Eye live and studio!!!! Perfection!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
The apparently I will watch anyone do a reaction video about tool, but these guys are by far the most interesting. Listen to them takes me back and makes me remember why tool is so influential in my musical upbringing. They definitely have a more poetic disposition when describing the lyrics and their presentation
I hope you do more Tool reactions! May God Bless you all! 🙏
I really enjoyed this video, the review was impeccable.
Tool is my favorite band...never thought i would see these guys react to them
Thank you for bringing these gentlemen and showing the world what your way of thinking is, they are all very wise, an affectionate greeting to them and my respects.
Maybe later, in some videos, you will also like to see and listen to music from Brazil, since it is very different and particular. Or also folklore from Argentina.
I really miss old Tool. Undertow is their second best album ever. So underrated these days.
This such a smart use of the format. Well done guys.
Hello sir, I am a longtime fan of your videos and diehard fan of TOOL. It is fascinating to see these gentlemen’s reactions to the previous video for Pneuma as well as this one- and I humbly ask you to please make a video of them reacting to the songs “Disposition” and “Reflection” as they have always struck a chord in me being a descent of South Asian culture born and raised in America. I am curious of how’d they’d react to the use of the tabla in “Disposition”and the very primal sensation I pick up when listening to “Reflection.” Thank you again for these videos.
The fact that these wise men can find the deeper meaning of songs shows how in tune they are with emotions and understanding of human behavior. They've opened my eyes as to how wise these elders can be.
I've watched a alot of your reactions and I love how all of you interpret the songs. You are so insightful and wise. I have a new appreciation for our Pakistani brothers. God bless you. I look forward to your next review.❤
i love you show this song to them...
Now, they have received the Mandatory Maynard.
Was a pretty big Tool fan growing up and never saw any live footage back then thanks to no TH-cam etc. An impressive live performance, but not nuanced enough I think for the elders to properly get into and enjoy. I think more instrumental stuff would be good to see, highly recommend Rush's Xanadu live - I think the guys would be blown away by the talent on top of Geddy lee's incredibly high voice! Great video!
Their breakdown of the lyrics was amazing, my heart is moved
Awesome. From the seed planted by Maynard and the band, to Adnan giving the song water for the students to see and share the shade. Awesome! Peace/JT
God i love Tool. And this channel yall are great!
Excellent vid, gentleman!
