WATCHING PEOPLE DISCOVER TOOL IS ONE OF THE GEMS OF LIFE.
- Jai I know, right? I’ve been watching a ton of these videos of people discovering TooL lately. Not sure why it’s so fascinating.
Because we're jealous
Correct.
I'm always shocked people havent heard tool before. But when I find those people I love the fact that I can witness their first reactions to tool. And 100% of the time they gain an addiction of some size to the music.
Especially when they say 'wow' at the right bits.
"It's quite long - eight and a half minutes"
Oh, you sweet summer child xD
"God....this is complicated..." Maybe the best summation of Tool's music I've ever heard
I fucking hate it when im scrolling the comments and I come to a comment that he says the instant I scroll by it. how does that always happen
I think they're music is more than just complicated
@@drhexagonapus I would say it's more complex than complicated.
You talked about how well it’s mixed, then you see them live and it sounds exactly the same you realize how brilliant they are as musicians.
Their musicianship is unmatchable, but the mixing is not by them. They have a great team of engineers working with them. Mix these two groups together and you will have a truly great musical performance!!
Saw them live last year. A highlight of my life. This was on their setlist. Was absolutely astounding. Crazy how without the lasers and HD projections... Just them playing live, sounds dozens of times better than their digital tracks with $300 headphones. Even after 30 years of playing.
Oh man. We got another one people. Unfortunately, once you start listening to Tool, it makes most other music seem rather dull.
Rosetta Stoned or Jambi.
Trevor Lott This is my thought exactly!
Trevor Lott 👊😁🤘
My thoughts Exactly! 😁👌
What is the obsession with 10,000 days recommendations? I don't get it. Specifically Rosetta Stoned. I've been listening to Tool for 20 years and that is one of their worst songs IMO.
naiginod your opinion is shit
Because of this band I don't buy or use cheap headphones
Dry Ferr I bought a decent pair a few weeks ago just to prepare for the new album lol
I have a problem .. seriously I own too many god damn pairs of cans and buds ..and it all started because I wanted good headphones to listen to tool with .
Best I’ve heard- audeze lcd. Incredible.
Holy shit me too I never realized it. I bought my first pair of decent headphones in the lead up to Lateralus.
Problem is their production/recording isn’t that great to give great headphones a chance to really shine.
The best ending in any metal song in my opinion. Complete destruction :)
"I don't know what to say" => perfect response to listening to "the grudge" for the first time. My favorite Tool song
Discovering tool in 2018? i envy your new attraction. i recommend doing more of their songs if you want to continue blowing your mind.
Jesse Herbert oh you'd be surprised at what my musical knowledge is lacking. I thought I was well educated in all things music but if this channel has taught me anything, it's that I'm not in as good a place as I thought! Ask me about pre 1990 metal, I'm your man, ask me about 90s British alternative, there's not much I don't know, electronica, reggae and dub, psychedelic rock, space rock, trip hop, Americana, ambient, etc I'm fine with. I don't get lumbered with a single genre, I love music of all kinds as long as it's real, it's emotional. Learning all the time!
Electronica you say? Try Bucephalus Bouncing Ball by Aphex Twin
they are an incredible band, just don't put them on such a high pedestal like the fanboys do- they're my favorite band but it's pretty cancerous to act the way uber fanboys do. Just enjoy the lyrics and don't think too deeply about the lyrics. Maynard and the rest of the band are geniuses, but at their core they are regular people just like you and I.
I wish I could hear it again for the first time.
Jesse Herbert you've got the look of a man who's discovered a new favorite band! Same thing happened to me 19 years ago. Eulogy was the song that sent me down the rabbit hole of an obsession with these fuckers
I love seeing that moment when someone falls in love with Tool.
Finally someone who reviews videos that actually knows music lol
Exactly what I was thinking
“I need to listen to more Tool” - my thoughts exactly 25 years ago.
Yep, Tool Army is no joke. We love this band just as much now as we did back then. It's just timeless brilliance unlike anything ever created. If you do some reading about each member of the band you will be amazed. These individuals are just genius who just happened to love music and run into each other.
The first track to the first Tool album I ever owned. As a teenager I never paid attention to the lyrics because the music was enough fuel but as I get older lyricism takes on far more importance. This band will always be welcome wherever I go.
That song never ceases to blow me the fuck away. Never.
"That's a powerhouse. That's an absolute tour de force of music, that is."
That's how they chose to open an album. It gets better from there.
Danny Carey is an absolute machine, his drumming is so unreal, love Tool and if you ever get a chance see them live;)
Danny Carey just smacks you in the face right there at the end!
alpo6668 amen. Crushing it. And it’s the first spng on the album! What a fucking intro.
@@crippleized yeah... what a start to an epic album
Yes, sir. May I have another?
Lol!
With a chair!
Vicarious is a good one, there are so many to choose from though.
bryan ashton It might have the most epic ending in modern hard rock history
J Sanders I agree. The Grudge is up there as well.
bryan ashton Vicarious is a masterpiece!
7:12. "THIS IS BONKERS!!!" (In a good way) Cracks me up every time.
The time signature is all of them man. It always is with these guys.
You are so lucky you haven't listened to much Tool before. You're in for a real treat. All of their music is fantastic.
That powerful scream is about 27/28 seconds long reflecting the amount of years it takes for Saturn to return to the exact spot it was on the day you were born. Pretty neat shit
I've been the typical obsessed tool fan for over 20 years...you just blew my fuzzy brain
Konrad Potgieter haha good, I'm not a typical tool "fan"
last time I heard a note held that long was in the 3 Amigos movie
You must be under 27-28 lol
Man this is such a dope observation :D
I barely saw the thumbnail and thought this was a Joe Rogan video
IsraelSilvaMonje Ha me too!
Joe had Stefan Molyneaux on again I see 😂
Stefan Molynrevieux
This song still gives me chills whenever I allow myself to be taken in by it. So good.
This song gets cranked as high as my car stereo will go every morning at 630 am. It takes me every time
Watching these videos is making me want to see them live for a third time. Absolutely the best live performance. They’ve been my favorite band since the late 90’s. 👍🏻
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned is about where their technical pinnacle sits, they have other pinnacles.
I am 30, I listen to hard rock/prog rock/metal since 15, and I think that very few songs have literally changed my life like this one. This is way beyond amazing. I'm literally speechless
Any other long time TOOL fans STILL get goosebumps nearly every time you hear one of their songs or see someone new reacting to it? I've probably spent several thousand hours listening to their entire catalog over and over, and yet my body still cannot help but exhibit some sort of physical reaction to it nearly ever time (goosebumps, hair standing up, sudden chills, etc.). No other music does that to me.
TOOL is a release in every sense of the word. Layered
Tool is fundamentally flawless. Then they experiment outside of those fundamentals. Perfection imo.
"This is bloody brilliant." -Ron Weasley
I'll never get tired of seeing someone fall in love with Tool.
You're in for a treat, Jim, since you haven't listened to much Tool. If alternating time signatures, complex lyrics, bass and drums are your thing, oh boy! Many suggestions for other songs below already. Two of their most "popular" are The Pot and Sober. Enjoy!
Xenophon my favourite personally is hooker with a penis haha
adamdajani That was my favorite in middle school! Finding tabs online was a mystery back then. But man if you want aggressive thatll do!
AEnima never gets old.
46 and 2 is a pretty big hit.
The Pot is easily the worst Tool song IMO, other than some of the joking interlude tracks. Not sure how it made the final cut lol
Try schism it's really good, jambi is also a good one, Rosetta stone as well as lost keys
Many people have suggested "Lateralus," from the eponymous album. You may want to put that one off for a while, because once you hear it, you may be disappointed in all other music!
I am of the belief that Danny was created in the island of Dr Moreau by splicing gorilla, octopus, and cheetah, all together. He has such strength, flexibility, and speed, yet he plays songs as complex as this with inhuman ease. It's just mind-boggling watching that man-beast play.
Listen to all of it, everything they have ever done and will ever do.
Every TOOL song is a masterpiece they never disapoint🤘🏻👁
it is inevitable to move like maynard when you listen to tool
When Danny runs through those subdivisions on the kick drum always gets me. Every single time.
Flooded with goosebumps by 4:25. Even after hearing this song over 500 times since it came out.
Thats the first song of the album. Enough said.
Tool is one of few bands Ever, that get better with age!
I loved how you expressed so emotion to the instrumentation of the song!!! Great Reaction , you need to listen Third Eye by Tool , you will enjoy it!!
When i listen to Tool and i see it when im watching you. Tool makes you almost tranced. its crazy! Thats why i love Tool. No other band can do that.
Some Floyd can do that as well...damn I love Tool.
I keep watching this over and over again. Pure reaction.
Anything from that album will please you, my friend
You'll love lateralus (the song) drumming
2:18 I lost it. “Trying to figure out what time signature this is, 7/8?” NOBODY KNOWS MAN
its 4/4
@@adamsylvan5466 on which instrument? The guitar doesn't play a single bar of 4/4 through the whole song. It's mostly in 5/8 and 5/4 with the odd bars of 6/4 and 7/4
@@TheMaldez it’s a slow 5/4 not 5/8
adore seeing folks first reaction to Tool doing what they do and going off on one...its quite a force to behold...really does bring you to your knees
Intermission and Jimmy as one piece. That's how it's meant. And it goes from funny to awesome!
I love this video. You're done for now, no going back after hearing Tool!
Vicarious is a masterpiece
When it's so good it leaves you speechless...
I love this song so much, especially Danny's playing. He keeps it fairly conserved for the majority of the song (speaking in terms of Danny standards), and right at the end he just fucking ASSAULTS the listener. The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely baffled by his playing, and still am. I hate to be "That Guy", but Danny really is a god among mortals.
I wish I could go back and listen to these for the 1st time again. Tool 4 life.
Omg this reaction is too pure. I love it
Tool is genius
I love it! You are almost speechless. Been listening for 20 years, still get goosebumps myself.
Reminding me this album is 18 years old...I can remember buying this when it came out during my senior year of high school. :P
Making me feel old aside, I'm glad you enjoyed that song - Lateralus is one of my favorite albums.
Kinda like you I remember buying Aenima my junior year in high school and I made my friends listen to it on a trip to upstate NY. Unfortunately they didn’t get the music at that point shit I didn’t as well being so young. Over the next few years... I got it and loved it. Jimmy, H., Third Eye, Pushit...even the weird German crap that was going on lol. Also agree Lateralus is definitely top 3 all time favorite albums for me.
I can just see your mind exploding over and over again. I can relate. When you discover Tool, their 7+ minute songs just aren't long enough. You don't want each song to end.
The 'confining,controlling' part of this song has a great swing feel to it.
Tool is life. They are more than a band, they are a way of viewing the world.
Tool is, by far, the best band on the planet!
Reflection (especially lying on your back in a dark room) is probably my favorite track but their whole catalogue is just next level.
Love this band! Been listening to them since the very first album and man have they evolved! They are definitely the only band that sounds like this!
Glad you're finally getting into Tool. They started my prog journey...
Awesome!
Tool is my favorite band of all time, hands down.
Despite being really into alternative rock as a teen in the early 90s I somehow missed out on Tool & only discovered them about 8 or 9 years ago & I was kicking myself for having missed out on such a masterful band for so long. I was a big fan of Soundgarden back in the day (still am) and I know I would have absolutely loved Tool then. Hands down my favorite band of all time & I struggle to imagine how they can be surpassed in my estimation. I just never get tired of listening to them!
I love your reaction when it all ends...my reaction exactly!
This reaction is amazing wow
This song is the absolute greatest heavy metal song ever recorded. Such a powerful statement.
cracking choice - a LOT of good ones still to watch :) Fave band by far. So many people only just finding their music
this is the song with the sickest outro of all time of existence of man
For time signature changes, deep lyrics, mixing and technical genius, listen to Tool - Rosetta stoned.
Carlos Godsallios As someone relatively new to the band I'd say Rosetta Stoned is not the best song to start with. I'd much rather start with the classics, sober, 46&2, Stinkfist, Schism or The Pot.
Bass Lightyeah yeah I agree for songs to slowly lead someone into the band but I was just pointing out that if he LIKES stuff with crazy time changes etc and polyrhythms
Then Rosetta stoned is by far the most complex
Been a hardcore Tool fan for 20 years. Love seeing people hearing for the first time that can appreciate the talent. Your reaction was priceless!
Congrats on poping your tool cherry
Poor younger Jim. Tryin' so hard to Bob his head to Tool. Now he's worked his way though Fear Inoculum and is a full fledged Tool fan. Congratulations!.
There are no bad Tool songs.. whatever you listen to will be amazing..
The artwork is done by Alex Grey. He makes some beautiful paintings.
Tool songs are like living organisms that grow and evolve from one thing to often something different by the time it ends
Jim...Jim...Hey Jim, I love your first reactions to TOOL. It reminds me of my reactions the first time I heard these songs. I have been with TOOL since 1993. Thank you for taking time to listen to these masterpieces.
Edward Mahler So not quite as of ‘92... on the first EP. What album is your current favorite? It’s always changing for me, but right now it’s probably Lateralus.
Thats what makes tool great. Favorite change depending on your head is at on any giving day. I'm back on Undertow for the time being
TOOL of the mind my friend. What you need, they have
One of the best reactions of this song that I've seen here. Tool are brilliant. I rock out to them on my Koss Porta Pros.
Everybody is left speechless the first time they are listening to tool.
lol, " this is bonkers", jim if this is bonkers you should feel what its like in the front row:)
Eulogy, H, Jimmy, Aenima, Parabola, the list goes on lol. I think with any song you pick you will not be disappointed.
Genius level talent. GENIUS LEVEL.
I can still remember the feeling of listening to this for the first time...AND IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST SONG ON THE ALBUM!!
Im really glad to see you enjoying this. This is literally my favorite song of all time. Its so fucking amazing. Ugh. I fangirl so hard over it.
That was my reaction when i heard this opening song back in 2001. My head almost explode. I wasn't ready for that.
As Rick Beato shows in What Makes This Song Great, Schism changes metre, almost 50 times!
You hit the nail on the head. They can make beautifully complicated compositions, yet they arrange it in such a way that there’s space between all instruments. No one instrument overwhelms the mix. Brilliance. Listen to Jambi. The guitarist (Adam), is playing essentially the bass line early on with palm-muted rhythmic patterns. Very unusual and unique arrangement. Incredible stuff. If you want the height of their instrumental capabilities, go for Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned. They need to be played together, and you’ll probably want to scan the lyrics beforehand. It’s basically a story based on a very realistic acid trip a friend of theirs had. The music is serious, but there’s plenty of humor in the lyrics.
The absolute BEST piece of music Tool has recorded to date!
The little 'squeak' at 10:13...the mother of all speechless moments? LOL!
The whole premise of this song is about maturity and development,while using alchemical,astronomical,and mythological symbolism.
The irony is that Maynard doesn't want people to focus on the lyrics, but their lyrics are so well thought out and portrayed that you just wnat to. You start listening to tool once for the music,twice for the lyrics,and thrice plus ten times for repetition. And down the rabbit hole you'll go as well. Thumbs up.
5:14 gives me goosebumps every time. Love the timing change. Tool are masters of the art of playing with timing signatures. Great band full of talented dudes. Look forward to hopefully hearing the new album this year!
It's rare to see a first-time-listener of a song really get it and you're it.
I must say, of all the reaction videos I’ve seen, yours is the most visceral. The bewilderment of everything they pour into their tunes and the appreciation of it along with the technical comprehension of what you’re experiencing are a pure joy to watch! Cheers!!
Jambi! Also... Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days together. The Patient is another often overlooked masterpiece of theirs.
Don't try to follow time signatures with Tool. It'll make you lose yer hair... errrmm... well, you know what I mean.
And speaking of tour-de-force, Tool made a song with lyrics according to the fibonacci sequence...
Haha! To late for that matey. About 25 years too late! A couple of little have recommended the Fibonacci sequence track so maybe next!
Lateralus (that song) and Parabol/Parabola off the same album are absolutely beautiful.
Honestly, the whole Lateralus album is gorgeous.
And if you want to see Carey cut loose on the drums, Ticks and Leeches is the song for you.
Chris Check Lately I’m into their early stuff again too. Undertow is a great song. Shades of the prog that was to come. Intolerance also . More aggressive, but so great
Their other early stuff is fine, but Lateralus is far and away my favorite of their albums. They'd have to work pretty damn hard to top it in my eyes.
Chris Check No doubt it’s their best top to bottom. Personally for me 10,000 Days is next, Undertow, then Aenima. I’m in the minority as far as putting Aenima last, But for me I just didn’t connect with that album on the whole like I did the others. Although I do think Aenima has probably at least a couple of their best songs.
Love it, tool literally makes soundscapes for the mind...
Lyrics and multiple listens may help ... close your eyes and listen and yes headphones are a must
