This was the first Tool song I ever heard. I was on the ski school bus in the winter of '96 and my friend just said "you HAVE to hear this". I was 13 years old and it was the first time in my life my mind was actually blown. 27 years later and I feel the exact same way. They are absolutely timeless.
Some days I wake up softly signing..."I'm praying for rain... I'm praying for tidal waves" since 96. It's just words that will never leave my mind I guess. F#kin Tool 🔥
I find myself with the same antisocial thoughts. I think that many interpret this song to be a cynical critique of society in general. To me it's specifically about L.A., and the shallow priorities and values of its inhabitants. If the rest of the world is wiped away too, they are semi-innocent bystanders.
Every band member of tool is what IMO is considered a master of their instruments. And their music remains relevant across the decades due to their ability to create the most unique . Well played catalogue in the world .
I know it’s not a TOOL reaction channel but boy do I do a happy dance when I see you doing a TOOL reaction 😁 Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be Mom being Mother Nature. Look out LA and Sev “Learn to swim “ No Quarter , Bottom , H The list is endless. 🌀
This is Maynard’s dislike of Los Angeles “California”…. He hopes (Mom) Mother Nature does the right thing, that a earthquake severe LA from the rest of the U.S. and a tidal wave sinks it….and thus we have “Arizona Bay” Great reaction 🔥🌀👁
The salival pushit is my favorite song! It has everything you could ever want in a song…you should do a dual reaction first the studio pushit then the salival version
It’s not just the time signatures, but the tempo that subtly changes throughout the song. That’s one of those little nuances that actually make an huge difference in the way a recorded song sounds. Now that everyone ‘quantises’ every instrument in their band, and no longer records live, that method of adding power and feeling to a piece of music has been eliminated. Combine that with auto-tuned vocals and other instruments, and all of the nuanced human expression has been filtered out of today’s music.
Hearing this on the radio made me a Tool fan. I grew up loving Pink Floyd and I think there are significant similarities in style between the two. I love them both! Have you reacted to Sober? It’s one of my favorite Tool songs. I love your content! Hello from hot and humid Texas!
Tool have always reminded me a bit of what would happen if Pink Floyd and Killing Joke had offspring, because you’ve got the atmospherics of Pink Floyd, combined with the tribal rhythms and, frankly, the angst of Killing Joke. Not to mention that there are many times that Adam, Tool’s guitarist, remind me of Killing Joke’s Geordie Walker, who was also a master of using highly distorted guitar tones, to add atmosphere to songs that were otherwise dominated by strong, tribal beats from the rhythm section, and incredibly unique, thoughtful lyrics from Jaz Coleman, their singer. The similarities are particularly notable when you look at both guitarists’ use of chords one might not typically expect to find in such heavy music, and the range of techniques they employ, including arpeggiating the chords, the occasional slow strum that’s sort of halfway between an arpeggiated chord and a typical country -and-western style strum; sliding up and down the fretboard, and other techniques that don’t show up so often in heavy metal music. The ultimate similarity however, is simply the role that the guitar plays in the arrangement - which is that of an atmospheric instrument, more akin to, a keyboard, or a synthesiser than the classic sound of a rock ‘n’ roll lead guitar… Or that of a typical rock ‘n’ roll rhythm guitar, for that matter. It’s a role that hybridises the two, AND adds elements from outside any of the guitars traditional roles. As a psychedelic rock guitarist, I have studied the hell out of all of these bands’ guitar techniques. Early Pink Floyd- say, up till about 1971 or 72- featured a lot of the atmosphere at guitar. Check out “Echoes“, live in Pompeii, pts 1 and 2. I also strongly recommend Killing Joke, “Darkness Before Dawn“, or some tribal drumming and atmospheric guitar.
My first TooL concert right after Ænima came out in ‘96, in Phoenix towards the beginning of the show between songs Maynard says “ We’re TooL, and one of us just recently moved to Arizona” Then at the end of show for their encore he said “I mentioned that one of us just moved to Arizona. It’s because we can’t swim!” And then immediately busted out into this song!🤘🌀
Randomly, I will text one of my old ski bum friends from back in the day. I simply write "learn to swim". It long ago became short hand for "have a good day".
If you want some crunchy, choppy riffs, try the song "Better" by Helmet. That'll get the adrenaline pumping for sure (as will any other song from the Meantime album).
It’s cool, watching someone react to a tool song for the first time especially this one. I focus on the words and the meaning so much sometimes I forget how focused on the music I was before I truly paid attention to the lyrics and the meaning once you put it all together, that’s when the third eye connects to the ears and spirals around your brain and soul then when they all come together you’re addicted. but I’m just an insufferable fan.
Polo reacts just did Crawl Away. That song is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. If you look up the definition to choppy you will find an audio link to Crawl Away by TOOL
I’ve got my iced americano, let’s gooo! Edit… Lol how you kept reacting to the ad after the song ended 😂. Such a great tool song, and yeah Maynard gets a lil personal in his L.A. bashing in this one lol. Thanks for the reaction bro 🙏
I think it's time you discovered Mastodon ( Crack The Skye, Steambreather, The Last Baron, Oblivion...) And Between The Buried And Me ( Ants Of The Sky, Extremophile Elite, Voice Of Trespass...). You really can't choose a wrong song with either band.
My man!!! I love seeing people’s reaction to discovering Tool but yours has been the best so far! I actually enjoy it almost as much as Tool itself! Keep going brother!
I desperately want you to check out the band Intronaut, song Fast Worms. Audio only, not the video. They are friends of TOOL having toured with them and had Justin (bass) play on one of their tracks "Valley of Smoke". Intronaut hits hard but will take you on a jazzy, dreamy journey of odd time signatures and meandering guitars backed by one of the grooviest drummers in modern metal, Danny Walker, as well as Joe Lester on bass. Well, not just any bass, but a fretless 5 string earthquake of doom and beauty. Anyway, Fast Worms by Intronaut. Do it.
Hello once again TCD...This album is where Tool set the template for what they'd finally matured into..I see them as the Pink Floyd of metal...Thx for the vid 👍🧐🤘✌️
Hey Sevsimo! From one Tool loving Aussie ( QLDER!!) fan to another, You got to do a reaction to Tool's holy trinity. Its a combination of 3 songs " Disposition-Reflection-Triad " in that order. All 3 make up to about 28minutes. I guarantee it'll take you on a journey and wont disappoint.
LEARN TO SWIM!! #CHOPPYDROPS TOOL NEVER LETS YOU DOWN There is still so much more for you to check out, personally I can’t wait until you hear the Salival versions of some of their songs Before you do the Salival versions listen to the studio versions!! 💯 When is there more Sleep Token?! More Lamb of God too, seriously!!
Once again my friend, love your reaction!! Tool have this way of sucking you in with their almost trance like hypnosis. You can escape from reality without drugs!!
So glad you did this one. This is one of the best in my opinion. See you in Arizona Bay. Just how Maynard lyrics are so relevant. It's sick. And the music is in sane. That slide guitar is awesome. And that change at the end was epic.
I really love your enthusiasm for Tool. If you really want a Choppy drops banger you have to listen to TOOL - Opiate² (Audio) almost 10 min heavenly Tool. Not the official clip thats only 3 min long.
Team Choppy Drops get your drink of choice ready and let's enjoy some good music! As you can probably tell already, mine is coffee!

Totally agree.
I know it’s not a TOOL reaction channel but boy do I do a happy dance when I see you doing a TOOL reaction 😁
Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be
Mom being Mother Nature.
Look out LA and Sev “Learn to swim “
No Quarter , Bottom , H
The list is endless. 🌀
Haha thank you! 🙏🙏
'Before it registers you just look like a weirdo'. Perfect Tool analysis 😂
This is Maynard’s dislike of Los Angeles “California”…. He hopes (Mom) Mother Nature does the right thing, that a earthquake severe LA from the rest of the U.S. and a tidal wave sinks it….and thus we have “Arizona Bay”
Great reaction 🔥🌀👁
When you get an “Alan Watts” commercial, you know you’re in the right place.
You need to dive into their SALIVAL LP. Check out a live recording of "PUSHIT." The TABLA percussion is MIND BLOWING! 🤞✌️
The salival pushit is my favorite song! It has everything you could ever want in a song…you should do a dual reaction first the studio pushit then the salival version
The high-hat work on this song is downright alien. Out of this world! Absolute brilliance and so difficult to do.
Best dis track ever
sevsimo, learn to swim. lol. ✌️
At least he doesn't drink a lattè 😂
I love how you ACTUALLY enjoy music and not just overreact to get views, this is the best band ever existed, no one like them in a million years🌀🔥
Another banger from a Maynard project is a perfect circles “ counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums”
He doesn't know what he's missing
My absolute favorite song period!! The lyrics are even more true today. Please flush it down now!!
im praying for tidal waves 🙏
This song tells you what they think of Pedowood!!!!!
"Feeling The Crunch?" has gotta be our new thing now
TOOL’s first Grammy award I believe?

Another EPIC Tool reaction! #TEAMCHOPPPYDROPS
Drowning Pool - BODIES. 🤞✌️
Aaahh…Tool…Feelin The Crunch!!🤘
The ad right after the video got me 🌀🌀🌀😂😂😂
There’s one ultimate idea in the universe - Tool delivers 🌀🌀🌀👍👍👍

To me this song is like the Tool Army anthem. 😂
"Feeling the crunchhhhhhhh" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤟🤟🤟🤟
the song that perfectly sums up the state of the entire world imo
#resetplease
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
welcome any change, my friend.
Feel the crunch 🤣 or Learn to Swim. Similar 🤣
My first TooL concert right after Ænima came out in ‘96, in Phoenix towards the beginning of the show between songs Maynard says “ We’re TooL, and one of us just recently moved to Arizona”
Then at the end of show for their encore he said “I mentioned that one of us just moved to Arizona. It’s because we can’t swim!” And then immediately busted out into this song!🤘🌀
I always imagine the end of this song is a rain dance 🤘
The Bass and the Drum Sound so sick in 2nd half
Randomly, I will text one of my old ski bum friends from back in the day. I simply write "learn to swim". It long ago became short hand for "have a good day".

Hamilton Page!🤘
That tone can and does Only come from the one, the only, VHT Pitbull Ultra Lead amplifier 🤘
Fam is still asleep.. watching the sunrise at the beach with you guys...thank goodness I am in Florida not Cali coast .lol
Learn to swim.
Judith from Meynard's other band A Perfect Circle' needs to be on the list!
Yay Choppy Drops! This is the song that made me a Tool addict
ooooooooooooooh boy what a ride AGAIN!
It’s cool, watching someone react to a tool song for the first time especially this one.

Yes choppy drops 🎉
I thought for sure the next Tool video would have been their cover of No Quarter.
"Feeling the crunch?" Lmao
Tool builds up into Tool
I felt the crunch.
Need some early TOOL. Dive into their UNDERTOW LP. FLOOD or CRAWL AWAY or SWAMP SONG or BOTTOM, please. 🤞✌️
Polo reacts just did Crawl Away. That song is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. If you look up the definition to choppy you will find an audio link to Crawl Away by TOOL
Tool - Jambi Live DVD. Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain Live L.A.
MOM is back and she's pissed!
Each time your release a new video, I'm hoping for Mastodon's "Jaguar God"... I'm patient.
😋
Peace !
I’ve got my iced americano, let’s gooo!
Edit… Lol how you kept reacting to the ad after the song ended 😂. Such a great tool song, and yeah Maynard gets a lil personal in his L.A. bashing in this one lol. Thanks for the reaction bro 🙏
This song wakes me up better than coffee
What a way to start the morning. Have yourself a crunchy day brotha ☕️
And you too brother!!
I think it's time you discovered Mastodon ( Crack The Skye, Steambreather, The Last Baron, Oblivion...) And Between The Buried And Me ( Ants Of The Sky, Extremophile Elite, Voice Of Trespass...). You really can't choose a wrong song with either band.
Aaahhh Danny...
3/4 and 4/4 at the same time.
Tool. 🙂
Most bands make music. Tool makes art.
My man!!! I love seeing people’s reaction to discovering Tool but yours has been the best so far! I actually enjoy it almost as much as Tool itself! Keep going brother!
Team Choppy Drops Formal Request: Ticks & Leeches and/or You Lied (Live) - which is a cover of a Peach song aka Justin's old band.

Once you’ve heard it enough times to memorize it… it all flows together and feels cohesive..

Loved the reaction, think you should give porcupine tree anesthetize live a reaction
Pushing out banger after banger with these reactions
Hello once again TCD...This album is where Tool set the template for what they'd finally matured into..I see them as the Pink Floyd of metal...Thx for the vid 👍🧐🤘✌️
Yes yes yes Great Reaktion Man ✌️ 🔥😎

Henry Rollins spoken word is powerful
@@PolluxFeyd10191 exactly, Rollins was perfect choice, for the spoken word, have a great day !
So deep in the rabbit hole now bro!
Eh nim uh. Like the procedure that flushes the shit out
Turn it up fella

Meshuggah, Clockworks drum cam playthrough, go!
Arizona Bay baby
This is my all time favorite Tool song. It’s great musically, but those lyrics are everything. 🤘🏼
Always makes me smile when i see someone thinking the song is over and when they check its still got time
This is one of the maybe three greatest metal songs of all time. Maybe number one.
More from their best album 😊!! They won a Grammy for this track I believe or was nominated. Learn to swim!!!
The song that got me into Tool! Love it bro!
LEARN TO SWIM!! #CHOPPYDROPS
TOOL NEVER LETS YOU DOWN
There is still so much more for you to check out, personally I can’t wait until you hear the Salival versions of some of their songs
Before you do the Salival versions listen to the studio versions!! 💯
When is there more Sleep Token?!
More Lamb of God too, seriously!!
Hands down my favorite Tools song. The lyrics are amazing!
Sev would love to see you do Gojira- Art of Dying (Live at Vielles Charrues)
Your smile said it all! Thanks for the fantastic reaction!
❤
🤘🏻🌀
🔥
Just think the lead singer makes wine as well
Lyrics are good on this one. Angry, but much less nihilistic than the Undertow LP. Please note: Never give Maynard the Infinity Stones!
Once again my friend, love your reaction!! Tool have this way of sucking you in with their almost trance like hypnosis. You can escape from reality without drugs!!
So glad you did this one. This is one of the best in my opinion. See you in Arizona Bay. Just how Maynard lyrics are so relevant. It's sick. And the music is in sane. That slide guitar is awesome. And that change at the end was epic.
🤘🏼🔧🔧🔧🤘🏼
Good take though the pixel sized white dot caused me to attempt to clean my screen more than once
I really love your enthusiasm for Tool. If you really want a Choppy drops banger you have to listen to TOOL - Opiate² (Audio) almost 10 min heavenly Tool. Not the official clip thats only 3 min long.
you’ll love these lyrics, like all TOOL songs.
Mastodon - mother puncher!!!
GOJIRA - EXPLOSIA
havn´t heard AEnema for quite a while ...thank you...have you checked out H. from the same album? if not, let's do.....
