I've heard of these guys for years but never bothered to check them out. Well now I'm correcting that mistake by working my way through their discography. So far Lateralus is my favorite record of theirs.
I’m 52 and a drummer. Always been a die hard Zep and Rush fan but Tool is on a different level. Danny’s approach to his instrument is deeper than all the rest. As I feel Neal and Bonzo are just a great or greater, Tool is Tool. Perfection
As a singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer I must say: This band amazes from every angle. How does one come up with such riffs, time signatures, transitions, lyrics? I feel like at least half of humanity could not have possibly heard this band yet, otherwise, they’d be the biggest band in the world. I feel like they opened my mind in such a beautiful way.
Gotta experience it live man,that's an experience that will never grow old...I can't wait until I'm 70 rocking to them... Killin the younger gen with tool as an expression of real art
@@deadheadsteve532 Stop a moment to consider that you might love this band not because they're "objectively good," but because _your own_ personal circumstances have put you in a unique place for this music to have meaning _to you_ . It's not unfortunate that other people live completely different lives from yours, it's just a fact of life.
You must just be younger than 30 and grew up with parents that had terrible musical tastes or you just didn't have your ear to the aether outside your musical preference. This band has been amazing people since the 90's and are synonymous with being one of the most "perfect" bands in modern history. Sometimes you have to dig for gold, rather than tuning into a radio station playing garbage every hour on the hour over and over.
@@dio52 You totally misrepresented what the person said. He's saying that statistically this genre of music isn't popular, which is a fact. And that it is unfortunate, because this is true talent on display. Rather than some one with auto tune using beats a computer came up with, by a person with little to no actual musical capabilities other than being able to identify a catchy sound (I added this bit because it is also true.)
@@waynekerr3428 this is nothing special over here examine yourself. Whatever a carnal man judges so he is perfectly with without a shadow of the doubt every single time. So then you just perfectly spoke of yourself..... you do that perfectly all the time. Not talking about the literal words like some kind of childish stupid thing.... But the spiritual thing and cause behind why you said that. Seek truth from the Creater and stay far away from buildings and religion. It's unfortunate that even though right words can be said even through music through the devil's system.... Nobody actually believes it or really knows what it means and is living it remotely. Just all for show and looks and feel good goosebumps to speak and say rest in peace to such and such and you know what all the TH-cam comments do everyday. It's about? It's about? It's ALLLL about?

4:10. Yes, we all love Adam's talk box guitar solo. But my favorite part is the muscular, thunderous bass line beneath it. You don't even pick up on it the first time you hear the song. But once you notice it, you realize how integral it is to the entire thing.
All I ever pick up on is bass. My favorite instrument. Kids would ask me to do guitar on rock band, it was hard because my brain went straight to the bass. Lol.
I'm a musician and every time I listen to Tool I'm just in awe of their ability to take a "simple" idea like the opening riff to this song and build upon it beyond anything imaginable. Just incredible.
I saw them in 2007 in London. The whole crowd was singing "breathe in union" at the same time. I just stood for a second and watched everyone. It was as if time had stopped. It was a profound feeling.
Sh*t, absolutely the same way I feel. Hard to listen to their library without claiming the one you just heard isnt your favorite. Been listening to them since before my stint in the Marines over 20 years ago, I've never stopped and I wont
My dad loved Tool and I always remember him playing all their songs in the car rides I had with him occasionally. He wasnt part of my life much but he had great taste in music and I am certainly glad he gave me the Tool I needed in this life.
I love how the Bass dominates the songm with all that different effects ans the guitar is in the backgrond most of the time. Justin Chancellor is such a great bassist!
@HeyIt’sBrittanySage What? they are mot like God Smack They purposely do things and sing out of mega phones with two separate microphones to be different Herb goes way out of his way to not be like anyone else , the most unique metal band musically
Tool is like if progressive metal had a baby with psychedelic rock, who grew up and then had a baby with alternative metal who in turn then went and had a baby with math rock. It’s fucking awesome!
Tool is therapy. It causes an uncontrollable vomiting of emotions both good and bad. It forces you to Love what you hate and hate what you love. It makes you travel the vast spectrum of depth into your own shadow where only you can shine light. It guides you to a place of peace within that shadow, helping you blend the darkness with the light; Each a creation of your own making. Tool is everything you feel. Or whatever, I'm super baked.
That's what we all feel listening to Maynard's music. Good explanation. We do our best thinking baked bro. It is indeed therapy to the soul. He is not only a musical genius, he's awake.

"Damn my eyes" is an age-old expression. I've never heard anyone say, "Dim my eyes." "You, my peace of mind, my Om, my center." "Peace of mind," "Om," and "center" are synonymous.
@@ignacioulloa6481 "Jambi" is pronounced "djəmbē" and is the name of the genie from Pee Wee's Playhouse, who's line, "mecca lecca hi, mecca lecca hiney ho," shares the same syllable count as the driving riff of the song.
One of Tool's greatest songs.The rhythm pummels your mind. The personal drama rises, intensifies until a cry of ecstasy and prayer for the light. A story of evil indulged and overcome by a small, tenacious love that becomes universal in scope. Mind and soul-blowing.
@@tidalcliff2202 more content of tool I mean...back then i wanted to listen to more tool but a new album seemed impossible so I listened to lucid planet a lot haha...looking at it as new content from tool haha
@@karlvella4460 I haven't heard of them but you've piqued my interest. Yes, while there may be other bands like Tool (I even thought early Chevelle sounded a lot like Tool) I don't think any band will come close to capturing the same energy, atmosphere, and raw sound of Tool.
@stealthmodehu2111 You're really replying to something that happened months ago with some higher than thou Jungian response like someone who just realized what a shadow was? Are you really trying to instill some values or just jerking your ego like any pansy with an over-inflated college degree? Human contact is never the best possible solution for one who is already mentally ill. You must make sure they are so medicated they will not see anything but sesame Street for the next lifetime. This is the only sure fire way to get the patients back on track without incurring massive casualty on the battlefield of the mental realm. You must ready yourself for astral combat in your patients mental realm to fight his/her/them/thing's inner demons as they choose to appear and may try to flee to a nearby light and flicker with intimidation. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THIS LEST YE BE NEXT OF ITS VICTIMS! did you really think a fish stick would stand a viable chance in the quandary of this ever chaotic evanescence of reality!?. Or are you an impotent button? -Yours dearest.-
Fluffy Pillow Maybe it was just me, but I didn’t like most Tool songs on first listen. But damn I’m glad I stuck with it. One of my favorite bands now.
the best stuff usually is never the stuff you fall in love with after the first listen. if you love it right away you understand it completely, which most of the times means its not really different and does not surprise you creativity-wise. my favorite albums had to grow on me, sounding the best after like 50 times of listening.
The part between 5:15 and 6:38 is something incredibile. For me Jambi lasts kind of 15 minutes, because I listen to that part in loop when I get to it. The “shine on” riff... oh, wow
Arguably one of Danny's toughest drum parts. Its so difficult he's goofed it up a bit in clinics trying to replay it. Can only think of a few other drummers that could come close to replicating it
Danny is great but there's plenty of drummers even I know/knew who could crush this with a bit of practice. Zach Hill, Brian Chippendale, Brann Dailor, Thomas Pridgin, Jon Theodore and a dude I knew personally Andrew Schmidt who grew up on Tool, Mars Volta and Lightning Bolt was absolutely nutty mix of brutality and technique.
Shamanic to say the least.... Eventually... and forever... in all ways I could never possibly describe the musical genius of... TOOL. They will kick your ass!!! And may you be lucky enough to experience all that their music has to offer. Truely a blessing in disguise. I am forever full of gratitude. Shine on forever, shine on, benevolent son!!!
The opening drums on "Jambi" are what I assume the Vikings expected to hear during their ascension to Valhalla. Shit sounds like the revving of the proverbial war machine each and every time I listen to it. Danny Carey is just something else.
@@jameshawkins6619 youtube is doing its own version of Spotify. and they are saying something about giving that app its own comments system or something. Or Susan couldn't stand you enjoying something on this website. your choice
This is an official channel (probably made by the band's producer or someone in their team). What you're talking about is 'Topic' channels, which've had their comments removed automatically. They're channels autogenerated by youtube.
This song has always reminded me of my brother's and sisters, especially the part where it breaks down and he says "so if I could I'd wish it all away, if I thought tomorrow would take you away, you're my peace of mind, my home, my center, I'm just trying to hold on one more day.." Especially because addiction has taken over most of their lives.
This song quite literally saved my life. It found me precisely when I needed it, grabbed ahold of me, and set the light within me ablaze. I have no words that can properly express it, so I simply offer you this in a profoundly heartful way: Thank You
same thing with me and Invincible from Fear Inoculum. That song got me through 2020.... alot of death and loss and i came out on the other side all because of tool. rock on fam
Music has a way of speaking to us when there doesn't seem to be anything else to turn to.there is always a message unfortunately alot of people don't have the passion for this art form like those of us that the music speaks to!!!!!
Right after that awesome talk box solo... 5:28... Chancelor's bass ... so groovy.... then it all picks up again in such awesome Tool fashion and pounds it to the end! Jambi is one of those tracks that just gets better and better the more you listen to it!
It’s been exactly 10,000 days now since I’ve been listening to TOOL. I bought their CD album intolerance 1996 when I was a kid in Seattle, and I still have it to this day and listening to it to this day. I have all of their cd albums. And this is my favorite album of them all. I’m a drummer. I’ve been playing drums but I noticed Dan Careys drumming is one of a kind mindset,And the whole band itself is different rock genre. Super awesome band. 27+ years Is equal to 10,000 days.😂 long live the loud🤘
Been listening to Tool since college, and years later I still play this on youtube just to read comments from young people who are just discovering Tool. I wish I could forget all about them so I could listen to them for the first time again. ❤
Man. The musical genius is blowing my mind. They switch rifts in such a talented way, and the lyrics really will have you diving inward, into yourself and your mind. ✨😁✨
@@Tom-oj7si ..... Idk why so many peeps hate on anime. There's so much anime and there's something for everyone. Horror animes are what got me into it, but there are other quirky animes I'm not really into. 😄 Also I just wanted to make my own animated icon so whatever.... Anyways, Tool is more important in this conversation so it's cool. They posted a remake of one of their first songs recently. It's badass.
i feel like Tool is a legacy for me. my dad listens to it and i listen to it sometimes on my own. i actually bought him Fear Inoculum for his birthday.
I slept on tool for a long time. For some reason they just didn't appeal to me until I suddenly got it. My brother was a fanatic, he passed at the end of 2016 and I can just feel his energy and psyche in this as weird as it sounds. It makes me feel like I should be doing more. This is phenomenal music
I also slept on them for too long, had a supervisor get me into them because he listened to them so much. I basically had to listen to them, and each new song that came through the speakers, I fell further and further for their talents. I'm sorry to hear about your brother, he had great tastes in music.
I'm pushing 50 yrs old and there's not a whole lot in life that can get the hairs standing on their ends anymore except for Tool. No matter how many times I hear their music it's profound effect on me remains the same.
I dropped acid for the first time in my life yesterday. I am31 year old . My mind played this whole song by its own. I felt every riff , every bass slap and it was the most beautiful experience of my whole night including a night sky which looked like rubies and sapphire.
It's never too late to join the lysergic awarenesses. Take 2 or 3 next time and things will be exponentially more intricate and mysterious and beautiful. I dare you.
Seen this song performed live this summer. Soooo good. Cheered a little when they hit the first notes, I was so happy to hear this live. Absolutely awesome.
There is absolutely no other band who plays rhythm guitar + bass quite like tool does... So heavy, so unique, so different, so HEAVYYYY!!! nothing short of brilliant!!!
You cannot deny that every rock and metal band post-2006 tried to channel what these guys did in Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Distilled creativity concentrated into soundwaves. This sound is a landmark in humanity's time spent on this planet.
I just heard them live in Austin 2 days ago and I can confirm, I was bawling my eyes out when they started this part of the song, such a beautiful experience it was.
I was 18yr old when I first heard jambi, I am 30 now. Saved my damn life. Now I am old enough this song will always have saved my damn soul. Xoxo manard
I love classical too as well as Bing Crosby, especially old time radio shows "Theater Five", "Suspense" & Orson Welles "The Black Museum" best radio shows ever to come out of that era. I can't get enough TOOL or APC.
I've been a Tool fan big . time since I saw the sober video on headbangers ball when they first came out ! They are the best band in the Universe !!!!! I am now 58 and still adore them ! Rock on Maynard and the boys !
This amazing song embodies all that's great about Tool. I really admire the way they combine light and heavy, progressive and straight forward movements, experiment and basic rock, subtle messages and attitude... Tool is the only band I know that can combine deep existential messages, heavy rock and coolness. Not once are they sentimental or soft. Yet they communicate on so many levels.
My wife said, "That sounds horrible, it hurts my ears! How do you listen to that?..." My response: "This may hurt a little but it something you'll get use to"
"in love with the dark side I fell" that resonates so much. When life continues to push you to your limits and you adapt and overcome adversity only to face more trails... The painful building blocks become the only thing you know and for me opened up something that changed me. It made me strong beyond the modern meaning of the word. It made me conscious in a way that I hadn't seen before. I know I'm not the only one.
it's something that I have no one to discuss with, but I come to this music and it understands me, and I understands it. it is my friend who doesn't need words, who accepts something deep inside me. it's fucking impossible to explain it heals what was abandoned and hurt, what no one understands, with this music I feel that I am not alone, which means there is some meaning to being myself
Bass and bass all the way. People often rate schihism or the pot or even lateralus as the songs with best usage of the bass. But I think Jambi uses the most amount of bass and it's the most badasss
Its honestly heavily debatable the Bassline in all those songs are basically the fundamental foundation of the songs themselves same goes for Jambi here I would honestly say the bass in Tool songs overall is honestly awe inspiring the technique required to play most of the basslines on a lot of Tool songs is pretty nuts you really gotta know your stuff to do them correctly, they are basically considered the cream of the crop.
What's obvious yet still amazing to me everytime I think about it is that this band may be the only one out there that can say there isn't a single bad song they've made. Tools Bar doesn't go good to bad, it literally starts at good and goes up to astronomical👑
I was 20 or so. I'd never heard of tool b4 this. I was at lollapalooza, on acid. 2nd stage wasn't crowded with fans when I heard tool 4 the 1st time. Live...20 feet away. Maynard had so much charisma. I was enthralled. I became a huge fan at that moment. & have been ever since. ROCK ON
This song was the first they opened to at Bonnaroo it was just fucking amazing. Have seen them 3 times and a perfect circle 1 time..they just fucking rock
They opened with this song in Manchester last week and it was epic. I’ll be honest I have always overlooked Jambi but hearing it live has given me a massive appreciation for it and I’ve been listening to it a lot the last week since
went to take my senior pictures today and i go into the room and the man is playing this song, we launched into a whole conversation about how much we like tool and stuff. good experience
Not everyone can appreciate Tool. They are definitely a "musician's band". I come from a long line of classical musicians and when I had my 70 year old mom listen to this song she loved it. The complexity of the music, timing, etc. are things that any musician can really appreciate

Right, this is so out of this World, Justin is a shaman, and the part to 5.38 to 5.56, the "floating" moment is pure magic.
My wife always thought there was a percussion instrument like a beaded gourd in there. I told her recently, "sweety, that's all Justin and his bass."
This song epitomizes Tool for me. Odd time signatures, polyrhythms, 7+ minute runtime, melodic vocals, and HEAVY instrumentals.

The talkbox solo, seeing that live was one of the best moments of my life
Did they extend that entire solo for you too (from 3:67 on)? it felt like seven minutes and I didn't want it to end.
The solos in the song are absolutely amazing
I know that Jambi is a great song, but the last 1 minute is out of this world. One of the best endings in their whole catalogue of masterpieces.
What does Jambi mean? Jamming and playing a song? Or is it a play on creole food like Jambalaya and jamming while you make the food?

Here from the king's mountain view
Here from a wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never few
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I...
I...
I...
I...
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away
My center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You're my peace of mind, my Om, my center
I'm just trying to hold on
One more day
Damn my eyes...
Damn my eyes...
Damn my eyes
If they should compromise
Our fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided I'm withering away
Divided I'm withering away
Shine down upon the many, light our way
Benevolent sun
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way
DIM my eyes*
"Damn my eyes" is an age-old expression.
I've never heard anyone say, "Dim my eyes."
"You, my peace of mind, my Om, my center."
"Peace of mind," "Om," and "center" are synonymous.
Or maybe it's the title of the song "Jambi" (?)
@@ignacioulloa6481 "Jambi" is pronounced "djəmbē" and is the name of the genie from Pee Wee's Playhouse, who's line, "mecca lecca hi, mecca lecca hiney ho," shares the same syllable count as the driving riff of the song.
rransomm thanks!
One of Tool's greatest songs.The rhythm pummels your mind. The personal drama rises, intensifies until a cry of ecstasy and prayer for the light. A story of evil indulged and overcome by a small, tenacious love that becomes universal in scope. Mind and soul-blowing.
Aye laddie.
The CRUNCH at 3:57 slays me everytime!!! Absolutely in a class of musicians like no other. Thank you all for the gift!!
The guitar tone on this album is incredible
There will never be another band like Tool.
lucid planet is basically tool...just more content if you look at it in a positive way they are very good
@@karlvella4460 lucid planet has 1 album wym more content
@@tidalcliff2202 more content of tool I mean...back then i wanted to listen to more tool but a new album seemed impossible so I listened to lucid planet a lot haha...looking at it as new content from tool haha
@@karlvella4460 I haven't heard of them but you've piqued my interest. Yes, while there may be other bands like Tool (I even thought early Chevelle sounded a lot like Tool) I don't think any band will come close to capturing the same energy, atmosphere, and raw sound of Tool.
@@notsure1969 oh no that my friend is well said...all the other bands can do is capture the atmosphere and create their own sound
I use this song to remind my neighbour that no matter how loud he has his music.
I can always get louder.
I really hope there was some old guy in-between who had nothing to do with it and just wanted to sleep, i find that a quite humorous concept
Once you hear tool, you love tool

Maynard’s voice makes me melt. This is THE most perfect band out there. A Perfect Circle is second in my opinion.
Puscifer has some great stuff as well.
Perfect circle . Also Maynard is a genius . Screw Dr Dre . Lol 😂
Early Alice in chains was freakin good too
do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior puscifier
@@jimlovesgina oh I know! The Humbling River is a beautiful piece.
Tool is like listening to four bands at once
My favorite band of all times!!!🤘
Yeah, Adam Jones, ADAM JONES, adam jones, and my personal favotite 4D4M J0NE5. :) Much love Tool fans.
I think we may have a Adam Jones guy here folks hahaha
@@Bobassault1 Tool = Life
Word bro. Literally has gotten me through a couple decades.
The ending of Jambi is one of the greatest moments in the history of music.
One of the best bands in the history of music. Absolutely unreal as a live song. Been there. Love them.
The worst part about listening to Tool for the first time ever is you can never listen to Tool for the first time ever again.
Fluffy Pillow Maybe it was just me, but I didn’t like most Tool songs on first listen. But damn I’m glad I stuck with it. One of my favorite bands now.
There are Puscifer, A Perfect Circle for that
the best stuff usually is never the stuff you fall in love with after the first listen. if you love it right away you understand it completely, which most of the times means its not really different and does not surprise you creativity-wise. my favorite albums had to grow on me, sounding the best after like 50 times of listening.
As someone who listened to Tool for the first time just a few months ago, I already understand what you're saying.
I don’t remember the first time I listened to tool because I was just a baby
whats sad is that most people will go their whole life never hearing a tool song
Yeah it’s Truly sad
I feel bad for people that died before tool
damn- thats depressing lol never thought of that haha
Almost gave you a thumbs down bro
Tragic indeed
The part between 5:15 and 6:38 is something incredibile. For me Jambi lasts kind of 15 minutes, because I listen to that part in loop when I get to it. The “shine on” riff... oh, wow
That part is good but 3:43 hurts my brain lol (3×3 1×5 2×3 2×5 1×3 2×5 chugg pattern)
I do totally agree
It’s brilliant!
AMEN
The fire-breathing dragon. 🔥 3:11
Arguably one of Danny's toughest drum parts. Its so difficult he's goofed it up a bit in clinics trying to replay it. Can only think of a few other drummers that could come close to replicating it
Danny is ten drummers.
@@akeustislmao
Danny is great but there's plenty of drummers even I know/knew who could crush this with a bit of practice. Zach Hill, Brian Chippendale, Brann Dailor, Thomas Pridgin, Jon Theodore and a dude I knew personally Andrew Schmidt who grew up on Tool, Mars Volta and Lightning Bolt was absolutely nutty mix of brutality and technique.
How could anyone make a song this incredible?! I get chills every time at 3:57.
This song should be called the 10th symphony
What is 357
@@Jimohara-zl5vd3 min 57 sec in to the song. Such a great drop after a sick breakdown
Shamanic to say the least....
Eventually... and forever... in all ways I could never possibly describe the musical genius of... TOOL.
They will kick your ass!!!
And may you be lucky enough to experience all that their music has to offer.
Truely a blessing in disguise.
I am forever full of gratitude.
Shine on forever, shine on, benevolent son!!!
A 7+ minute song that is essentially the same single note on the guitar. These guys are extremely impressive.
The opening drums on "Jambi" are what I assume the Vikings expected to hear during their ascension to Valhalla.
Shit sounds like the revving of the proverbial war machine each and every time I listen to it.
Danny Carey is just something else.
Fun fact: this song is heavily influenced by Meshuggah
This description is epic & really on point, lol
Something else indeed.
Reminds me of a sputtering motorcycle engine. Love it!
This is such an under rated song going by the views. Well up there in terms of Tool greatness, the slow build and the filthy angry end. Loving it
Fucking filthy!
You just described every tool song.
"Stay out of my way"
I love that part, it's so grudgey
Sounds like the last root I had 😉✌❤
the only band i've heard of so far that doesn't have the comments turned off on their videos
Why is that going on?
I think it's just all the auto generated uploads basically the bot uploads
@@jameshawkins6619 youtube is doing its own version of Spotify. and they are saying something about giving that app its own comments system or something. Or Susan couldn't stand you enjoying something on this website. your choice
This is an official channel (probably made by the band's producer or someone in their team). What you're talking about is 'Topic' channels, which've had their comments removed automatically. They're channels autogenerated by youtube.

Thomas! 😂
In love with the dark side I've found, that's my kinda story, divide it right in two
This song has always reminded me of my brother's and sisters, especially the part where it breaks down and he says "so if I could I'd wish it all away, if I thought tomorrow would take you away, you're my peace of mind, my home, my center, I'm just trying to hold on one more day.." Especially because addiction has taken over most of their lives.
3:57 If this shit doesn't get you pumped up, you probably don't have a pulse!! 🤘🎸
I meditate to it, relaxes me.
This song quite literally saved my life. It found me precisely when I needed it, grabbed ahold of me, and set the light within me ablaze. I have no words that can properly express it, so I simply offer you this in a profoundly heartful way: Thank You
same thing with me and Invincible from Fear Inoculum. That song got me through 2020.... alot of death and loss and i came out on the other side all because of tool. rock on fam
Stay alive , the next time TOOL plays I’ll see you there!
Shine on benevolent sun!
Incredible how music can do that to an individual. We as humans were meant to connect with rhythm. Shine on bro
Music has a way of speaking to us when there doesn't seem to be anything else to turn to.there is always a message unfortunately alot of people don't have the passion for this art form like those of us that the music speaks to!!!!!
There's "Music", And Then There's Tool.
That in one sense sounds demeaning
Music and philosophy
Never seen a better description of the greatest band
This band is phenomenal. I just recently discovered Tool. Edit: thanks for all the likes guys. This band is still phenomenal!
Welcome to the freakin party my man!!
I'm jealous
Me too gion
A mate showed me TooL in Highschool some 15 years ago sure I've listened 2 nearly every track \m/
Same dude. Better late than never though.
Tool is one of the greatest bands out. The energy and music is unheard of as well as phenomenal
Right after that awesome talk box solo... 5:28... Chancelor's bass ... so groovy.... then it all picks up again in such awesome Tool fashion and pounds it to the end! Jambi is one of those tracks that just gets better and better the more you listen to it!
It’s been exactly 10,000 days now since I’ve been listening to TOOL. I bought their CD album intolerance 1996 when I was a kid in Seattle, and I still have it to this day and listening to it to this day. I have all of their cd albums. And this is my favorite album of them all. I’m a drummer. I’ve been playing drums but I noticed Dan Careys drumming is one of a kind mindset,And the whole band itself is different rock genre. Super awesome band. 27+ years Is equal to 10,000 days.😂 long live the loud🤘
Love ya music….Fuck Seattle. Ya’ll gotta get ya shit right with the democrats….Burn it down and make dope head tents…
Been listening to Tool since college, and years later I still play this on youtube just to read comments from young people who are just discovering Tool. I wish I could forget all about them so I could listen to them for the first time again. ❤
😂
Are you saying you would "wish it all away" if you could?

Hi Herbert
@@gabe_motherboard3355 always makes me smile when someone says that. He will be immortalised in our hearts.

First time?
@@leekias1 Lol. No. I've been listening to Tool for awhile now. They're awesome.
Anime detected, opinion rejected
Although in this one case you're right
@@Tom-oj7si ..... Idk why so many peeps hate on anime. There's so much anime and there's something for everyone. Horror animes are what got me into it, but there are other quirky animes I'm not really into. 😄 Also I just wanted to make my own animated icon so whatever....
Anyways, Tool is more important in this conversation so it's cool. They posted a remake of one of their first songs recently. It's badass.
Damn my eyes if they should finally see Tool's catalog on streaming services.
Haha good one
I guess you're eyes are damned now? 👀 i on the other hand am glad they have them on streaming playforms

@@Chonson It's damn. Maynard confirmed it and also dim doesn't make any sense.
i feel like Tool is a legacy for me. my dad listens to it and i listen to it sometimes on my own. i actually bought him Fear Inoculum for his birthday.
From start to finish.
A fucking bad ass song.
Honestly some of the best breakdowns on this album. Danny is my spirit drummer.
I slept on tool for a long time. For some reason they just didn't appeal to me until I suddenly got it. My brother was a fanatic, he passed at the end of 2016 and I can just feel his energy and psyche in this as weird as it sounds. It makes me feel like I should be doing more. This is phenomenal music
Greatest band of all time
I also slept on them for too long, had a supervisor get me into them because he listened to them so much. I basically had to listen to them, and each new song that came through the speakers, I fell further and further for their talents.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother, he had great tastes in music.
You don't get into TOOL. TOOL gets into you.
@@theCaslin this was my experience, yes.
I love how you can really hear the emotions in the vocal. Love it!
BEST BAND IN ALL WORLD!
one of their best
HANDS DOWN , THE BEST BAND EVER THE LYRICS THE RIFFS THE DRUM ROLLS AND TO TOP IT OFF THE VOICE OF THE MAYNARD SECOND TO NONE ....
I'm pushing 50 yrs old and there's not a whole lot in life that can get the hairs standing on their ends anymore except for Tool. No matter how many times I hear their music it's profound effect on me remains the same.
This song is so special to me. I travelled 10hrs to see them when I was 8/9 month’s PREGNANT front row singing this song to my unborn back in 2006.
Badass.
I was born in 02 so they must be a few years younger than me. Hopefully they have a similar music taste to you!
That's just not smart tho
Also weird to think about that the mother of someone who was born a year before me has similar music taste to me
Me and your son/daughter are the same age then, i wonder if they listen to tool as much as me though.
I dropped acid for the first time in my life yesterday. I am31 year old . My mind played this whole song by its own. I felt every riff , every bass slap and it was the most beautiful experience of my whole night including a night sky which looked like rubies and sapphire.
I know exactly how you felt brother
Now try shrooms

It's never too late to join the lysergic awarenesses. Take 2 or 3 next time and things will be exponentially more intricate and mysterious and beautiful. I dare you.

5:57 easily one of my faviorite guitar riffs and lyrics ever
Seen this song performed live this summer. Soooo good. Cheered a little when they hit the first notes, I was so happy to hear this live. Absolutely awesome.
Underrated riff here. Probably my all time fav.

There is absolutely no other band who plays rhythm guitar + bass quite like tool does... So heavy, so unique, so different, so HEAVYYYY!!! nothing short of brilliant!!!
i got my son (37) tickets with me (65)...for biloxi 1/27......been a HC tool fan since 92 i'm proud !!
One badass show! I was there too! Stinkfist was amazing!
I was there! Congrats on being an awesome parent!
You cannot deny that every rock and metal band post-2006 tried to channel what these guys did in Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Distilled creativity concentrated into soundwaves. This sound is a landmark in humanity's time spent on this planet.
It's 2 am. I have class in the morning and my phone is on 10 percent. Tool causes insomnia. The best kind of insomnia. 🤘
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
These lines make me cry everytime.
One of my favourite verses in the whole album. Made me cry a couple times too, buddy
I know right it's starts as one tear then I'm balling putting that part on repeat
I just heard them live in Austin 2 days ago and I can confirm, I was bawling my eyes out when they started this part of the song, such a beautiful experience it was.
Same
Divide head or wither away
I was 18yr old when I first heard jambi, I am 30 now. Saved my damn life. Now I am old enough this song will always have saved my damn soul. Xoxo manard
Hope you had the chance to listen to all their previous albums too.
i was 15nish or something... and im 30 rn... Keep it up bro!
Saved your soul?
What's this supposed to mean?
Elaborate!
I remember listening to this during the summers between 2009 and 2011, simpler and better times.
I like classical music, and Sinatra... why I'm listening to this? I don't know, but can't stop. The band is unique.
I love classical too as well as Bing Crosby, especially old time radio shows "Theater Five", "Suspense" & Orson Welles "The Black Museum" best radio shows ever to come out of that era. I can't get enough TOOL or APC.
@@stephaniebristol3837 The best to me is still Matt Monro. Even Sinatra was a Monro fan.
@Wiktor Łyziński Matt Monro was even better, and Sinatra was a Monro fan.
Damn this is powerful. One of the greatest hymns I've even heard and sung along with. I just love this band and all their work.
This is probably one of my favorites to hear live simply because of the way the drums during the intro feels like they shake the entire universe.
I've been a Tool fan big . time since I saw the sober video on headbangers ball when they first came out ! They are the best band in the Universe !!!!! I am now 58 and still adore them ! Rock on Maynard and the boys !
This amazing song embodies all that's great about Tool. I really admire the way they combine light and heavy, progressive and straight forward movements, experiment and basic rock, subtle messages and attitude...
Tool is the only band I know that can combine deep existential messages, heavy rock and coolness.
Not once are they sentimental or soft. Yet they communicate on so many levels.
My wife said, "That sounds horrible, it hurts my ears! How do you listen to that?..."
My response:
"This may hurt a little but it something you'll get use to"
Stinkfist
Just came from that song to this one😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tool will be here forever wifey will not lol 😂
in what way is this even remotely painful ? if it were something akin to meshuggah i'd be able to see it
"in love with the dark side I fell" that resonates so much. When life continues to push you to your limits and you adapt and overcome adversity only to face more trails... The painful building blocks become the only thing you know and for me opened up something that changed me. It made me strong beyond the modern meaning of the word. It made me conscious in a way that I hadn't seen before. I know I'm not the only one.
it's something that I have no one to discuss with, but I come to this music and it understands me, and I understands it. it is my friend who doesn't need words, who accepts something deep inside me.
it's fucking impossible to explain
it heals what was abandoned and hurt, what no one understands, with this music I feel that I am not alone, which means there is some meaning to being myself
your not alone, i feel the same exact way
@@cedricbrownnn thank you for saying that
no one I know gets it either it's quite sad, you're not alone though
You should go see the Tool tribute band Schism,so fun to be around fellow Tool fans.@christopher7086
Bass and bass all the way. People often rate schihism or the pot or even lateralus as the songs with best usage of the bass. But I think Jambi uses the most amount of bass and it's the most badasss
Its honestly heavily debatable the Bassline in all those songs are basically the fundamental foundation of the songs themselves same goes for Jambi here I would honestly say the bass in Tool songs overall is honestly awe inspiring the technique required to play most of the basslines on a lot of Tool songs is pretty nuts you really gotta know your stuff to do them correctly, they are basically considered the cream of the crop.
The Grudge Bassline
The drumming also helps, don't get me wrong the bass is popping on this, kinda like the ticks and leeches intro.
livestrong296 Tool is the reason I picked up a bass
@@stickboy232 TooL is a reason I play drums.
This is the band I’ve been looking for! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover Tool, but so glad I have! Absolutely brilliant!!
What's obvious yet still amazing to me everytime I think about it is that this band may be the only one out there that can say there isn't a single bad song they've made. Tools Bar doesn't go good to bad, it literally starts at good and goes up to astronomical👑
I was 20 or so. I'd never heard of tool b4 this. I was at lollapalooza, on acid. 2nd stage wasn't crowded with fans when I heard tool 4 the 1st time. Live...20 feet away. Maynard had so much charisma. I was enthralled. I became a huge fan at that moment. & have been ever since. ROCK ON
This song was the first they opened to at Bonnaroo it was just fucking amazing. Have seen them 3 times and a perfect circle 1 time..they just fucking rock
Tool is the best band ever created in all of human history!
Tool will forever be my favorite.
We really don't deserve TOOL in this world, but whatever world I live in to deserve them thank you.

best band ever
They opened with this song in Manchester last week and it was epic. I’ll be honest I have always overlooked Jambi but hearing it live has given me a massive appreciation for it and I’ve been listening to it a lot the last week since
Nah, this song is one of the best on 10k days
went to take my senior pictures today and i go into the room and the man is playing this song, we launched into a whole conversation about how much we like tool and stuff. good experience
Not everyone can appreciate Tool. They are definitely a "musician's band". I come from a long line of classical musicians and when I had my 70 year old mom listen to this song she loved it. The complexity of the music, timing, etc. are things that any musician can really appreciate
"the devil and his had me down" hits fucking hard for me
