Hah, loved your reaction on the first notes of Jambi 😄. Yes, the song is on the 10.000 days album (which also contains your first Tool crush, "The Pot"). If I'm correct "right in two" ( also a song from that album) is going to be the next reaction in line. Another great song on that album is "Vicarious". If you like another song with a great Maynard finish, try "Eulogy" (although you might not like the unclear megaphone voice effect in the song, he sounds like a manic street preacher). Keep the lyrics ready for that one. When Maynard is holding a note, you could call it the "Maintainard". And angry Maynard is "Angraynard".
Yes, you are correct on that guitar effect you were asking about, the tube on the microphone. It's called a talk box. Peter Frampton pioneered that effect on Do You Feel Like I Do, a hugely influential song.
Other than Frampton pioneering it you're correct. Heil built the first one for Joe Walsh (with Joe Walsh?), and he undoubtedly used it in live shows before Frampton recorded anything with it. I'm unclear if Rocky Mountain Way or DYFLID came out first (both 73). Either way talk boxes were built and used for decades before that in other forms on steel guitar/etc.
Jambi...jambi..Jambi? Like the floating blue genie-head inside of the box from Peewee's Playhouse? The one who grants WISHES, which is apparently a central theme in this song? Cool.
a cute story about the song - the band will always write the music first, before maynard reacts with his vocals/lyrics. In early stages of the music, the band will usually have a "working title" in place for reference before the lyrics. With this song, one of the rhythm/bass lines that Justin wrote reminded the band of a chant that Jambi from PeeWee's Playhouse would do.... so, as a working title the band referred to it as "Jambi" and Maynard kept it for the title in the end.. Jambi's chant: th-cam.com/video/XN5kVvR8VQI/w-d-xo.html
Besides listening to," Wings for Marie" Pt1 and Pt2, it's time to check out "Invincible" from the new TOOL cd, "Fear Inoculum".... thanks in advance.... again.
I can't wait to see how you like emotive, vulnerable, and contemplative Maynard. Once you get through Tool, there's lots of APC and Puscifer to react to as well. Great reaction, thanks for posting!
Opitate EP was 1992 - try Jerk Off for truly angry sound. Undertow 1st full album 1993 - Sober live is classic & would be an interesting reaction (especially to Maynard). Then AEnima in 1996 (first with Justin on bass) - lots of great stuff (my 2nd fav), H is the one about his son & Eulogy is awesome with a classic 'Maynard' at the end. Salival was 2000 - mostly live stuff, but also a tremendous studio cover of Led Zep 'No Quarter'. Live PushIt from this is a must listen, Maynard's performance is incredible. Then the best album ever Lateralus in 2001. Jambi was on next album - 10000 Days (approx # of days between his mothers stroke / paralysis and death - Wings 1 & 2 are his emotional tribute to her). Another great listen - Vicarious & the wild Rosetta Stoned. Then had the big time break, up to most recent Fear Inoculum in 2019 where you get less Maynard, but really hear the maturation of their sound - Pneuma & Descending stand out to me. People are right - really difficult to find a poor Tool song.
REFLECTION! DRUMS AND BASS PROMINENT. Very interesting lyrics I think you'll really like. It's long but well worth the time spent. Sorry for the caps, just wanted to catch your eye 😂
I have a different interpretation than some to this song. I think it’s about their relationships with each other, with fame and success, their unity as a band and their vision for themselves and the entity that is Tool 😀
tube attached to a microphone, guitar tone goes through the tube, into the mouth, resonates and bounces back into the mic to make that crazy effect. TalkBox
@13:57 It's called a Talk Box, and yes. The tube carries the guitar sound from a small amplifier/speaker into the mouth, which then modulates the sound by mouthing the words. No breathing or talking involved. Then the microphone pick up the sound. Essentially, the guitar sound replaces the sound made by the vocal chords. Then the mouth shapes it as normal. Except you salivate a lot because there's a 1/2" tube in your mouth.
So, I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions. I can(not) wait for your reaction to Pneuma. I honestly think your head will explode. Watching Tool reactions has been the closest thing, for me, to experiencing them for the first time all over again. I eagerly await the next!
Sometime if you get bored, listen to Jambi again, paying particular attention to the lyrics towatd the end of the song. Then listen to a song called Jimmy on the Aenima album. I think you'll be fascinated at how these two songs relate lyrically, even though Jimmy was written years before.
The title actually does have to do with the genie Jambi; “Its title has been said to primarily refer to the iambic meter used in the lyrics of the song, as 'jambi' means 'iamb' in Finnish. Drummer Danny Carey stated that when bassist Justin Chancellor played the bass track of the song, it instantly reminded him of the children's television program Pee-wee's Playhouse, then singer Maynard James Keenan thought of the genie "Jambi" and had the idea to make the song's theme about making wishes.”
Yes, tube in the mouth. It’s called a talk box. Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd both used them very well. I’m sure many others, but those are who come to mind.
Its called a Talk Box and yes that is what you heard. It is not really hooked up to the microphone, but that is where the tube is for ease of use. It is hooked up to the guitar and it changes the sound based off your mouth position. Closed mouth gives it a more dark or compressed sound, and open mouth gets it brighter.
Actually the song IS named after the genie from Pee Wee's playhouse. One of them (Danny I believe) said it reminded him of the music for him or something like that...look it up if you need to know. But the song is about the Maynard's son Devo H. Keenan (that's a hint for another song). I love this song because it reminds me of my boys. It came out when they were young and we would all jam to it in my truck.
Every Tool fan asks the question: "What's your favorite Tool song?" Well, the RIGHT answer is "Whichever one I'm listening to right now." It's all amazing. Obviously this band took a LOT of time to compose every one of these. Way more math, talent, mixing and thought went into every Tool song than the last 10 years of pop music combined. This is about as top shelf as music gets, imo.
And you are someone that actually gets it, I'm glad there are millions of Tool army that understand. It makes my heart warm. As good as it gets, and the lyrics, and his vocals, that's what it absolutely puts it above a else.
Adam Jones plays his solo through a talk box. It amplifies the guitar sound into a tube that lets the guitarist use the shape of their mouth to contour the guitar sound into vocal sounds. usually no vocal chords are used only the guitar sound that is fed back into a microphone. The first commercial talk boxes were made by Bob Heil. The first one he made was for Joe Walsh and used in the song Rocky Mountain Way then is was made famous by Peter Frampton on the song Do You Feel Like We Do
Ok, seeing as how we're a month behind your Tool reactions, I'm just going to assume you've listened to "Crawl Away", "Bottom", and/or "Jerk Off" and stop recommending them. I will move on to recommending "Ticks and Leeches" and "Descending". Thank you. :)
I Love Your Reviews!!! I think You're doing a great job dissecting the meaning and the music. My 2 favorite bands are TOOL and Chevelle. I appreciate you listening and sharing your thoughts!!! I think your reviews are Great. Don't Stop... imho, You should check out The "Triad" songs in 1 review. I would think after that You could go down MJK's Mother's rabbit hole.
Really enjoying your channel. The Slipknot and Tool reaction videos are great! You are so genuine and its really fun to watch you go on this journey. Tool is such an outstanding band, such amazing artists that have mastered their craft. I really think you would enjoy "Jimmy" and "PushIt" and hope those two can make your list. And when you get around to the MASTERPIECE that is the Fear Inoculum album, please do "Invincible". Lyrically and musically brilliant! Coming to terms that you are in the twilight of your career (and life), but yet still not giving up while staying relevant. Plus the transitions are insane and Maynard's vocals and tone is the best it gets!
You don't need to be over animated for us to know you're digging it. You're plenty expressive facially. 👍🏽😁 I've given up on trying to decide on a favorite. 😉
this is one of my favourite songs of all time. i was listening to this song when i asked my first girlfriend out and she said yes. even tho things didnt turn out well beteen us i allways think of her when i listen to this song and it makes me happy.
Did she say "angry" Maynard note was born with the Grudge 😆... think she is ready for Third eye, go on Lauren for live version and see how Maynard holds that note you are crying for! 🤘
Rest assured, I'm not still working on the Lateralus video. I filmed this over a month ago. :D
You should understand that the album is the piece of art.
@@ianscottt3642 all their albums are

Yes it's a tube thingy... voice box.🙂
To see funny Maynard watch Bullet train to Iowa, or Conditions of my Parole. By Puscifer. Both videos are very funny

Lauren........they're all THAT good......so cool taking this journey with you...you're awesome
Tool Army General checking in. Private Lauren, your favorite Tool song is and always will be the one you are currently listening to. Dismissed. 🤘
Lol. Love it. Thats funny!!!
lmao that's hilarious
Lol!! I like that General…👍😊
“So what’s your favorite Tool song?” All tool fans- “Yes”
Every TOOL song is amazing. You won’t find a bad one that’s for sure
Ehhhhhhh ever hear Swamp Song 😞
@@jimmy45481 lol I like swamp song too!!
👍💯
What? Swamp Song is fucking amazing! My band opens with that song, we've been melting people's faces man
Loving the Tool reactions. Please, keep them coming. :) For "angry" Maynard, maybe, try Ticks and Leeches or Jerk-off.
Hooker with a penis is my favorite "angry Maynard"
100% Tics and Leeches. At least if angry is what were going for.
Part of Me is good for "angry Maynard"
Descending is my favorite tool song at the moment. It's on their latest album Fear Innoculum.
You will love it.
Agreed, it’s an incredible experience
@@jrexplores5488 Indeed...
The guitarist Adam Jones was asked why he doesn’t rock our more during their concerts. He said he’s too busy counting.
Jambi...jambi..Jambi? Like the floating blue genie-head inside of the box from Peewee's Playhouse? The one who grants WISHES, which is apparently a central theme in this song? Cool.
Yes the title is after peewees genie and yes that is a talkbox
Jambi is in my top 10 Tool songs. A great song from a great album! Hooker With A Penis is vintage Angry Maynard!

Eulogy by tool
Thicks and Leeches from Lateralus. You will be suprised with Maynard vocals on this one.
Thick44 your nobody!!!
This song is apparently a love song of sorts from Maynard to his son.
And I caught you from 13:25 to 13:30 doing tiny little headbangs 🤘🤣🤘
This song is a LOT of fun to see live. Amazing light show with it.
Besides listening to," Wings for Marie" Pt1 and Pt2, it's time to check out "Invincible" from the new TOOL cd, "Fear Inoculum".... thanks in advance.... again.
I heard him say DAMN MY EYES.... That also is a saying.. right?
That pause in the music is called THE DROP! You are totally correct about the sound effect used by Adam Jones about the tube on the microphone.
Give a listen to, Wings for Marie, a personal and epic song...
I can't wait to see how you like emotive, vulnerable, and contemplative Maynard. Once you get through Tool, there's lots of APC and Puscifer to react to as well. Great reaction, thanks for posting!

Y O U A R E N O T A L O N E
I don’t think there’s a single tool song I DONT wanna see you react to lmao
Just wait there is: Push it. ... That song is gotta to be Jambis dizygodic twin.
REFLECTION! DRUMS AND BASS PROMINENT. Very interesting lyrics I think you'll really like. It's long but well worth the time spent. Sorry for the caps, just wanted to catch your eye 😂
I have a different interpretation than some to this song. I think it’s about their relationships with each other, with fame and success, their unity as a band and their vision for themselves and the entity that is Tool 😀
It's a song for his son Devo Keenan
I hope you're able to see them Live.!
My favourite Tool song is the one that I am listening to.
I think you're ready for Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
Are you sure? She lost track of the lyrics in "stinkfist", and he was singing pretty slowly there. 😉
We will wait "patiently"....

This song blows a hole in the universe. Bass!!
Every new tool song is going to be your favorite, until the next song.
They’re ALL great !!!
So, I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions. I can(not) wait for your reaction to Pneuma. I honestly think your head will explode.
Watching Tool reactions has been the closest thing, for me, to experiencing them for the first time all over again. I eagerly await the next!

This song definitely finishes with angry Maynard.
It's time for "Pushit" :)
It should be a two Tool tuesday videos of both Pushit versions.
Yes, tube in the mouth. It’s called a talk box. Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd both used them very well. I’m sure many others, but those are who come to mind.
Shine on forever ..thats gorgeous maynard as well
I love that you pivk your pauses the right way and dont cut out the song.. gawww
Its called a Talk Box and yes that is what you heard. It is not really hooked up to the microphone, but that is where the tube is for ease of use. It is hooked up to the guitar and it changes the sound based off your mouth position. Closed mouth gives it a more dark or compressed sound, and open mouth gets it brighter.
Tool can’t make a bad song it’s why their albums take so long cause they make sure it’s worthy of their albums
Favorite Tool song = Last song you listened to (or watched someone react to)
Yes. It was a microphone tube sound machine, if you want to be technical. Or a talkbox, if you dig slang.
Actually the song IS named after the genie from Pee Wee's playhouse. One of them (Danny I believe) said it reminded him of the music for him or something like that...look it up if you need to know. But the song is about the Maynard's son Devo H. Keenan (that's a hint for another song). I love this song because it reminds me of my boys. It came out when they were young and we would all jam to it in my truck.
We had a cat when I was a kid that I named Jambi. He fought raccoons and once he ate a tray of biscuits off the stove.
Now that’s bad ass!! Lol. I’m definitely a cat dude!
If you really, really wanna hear ANGRY Maynard, you gotta listen the Opiate ep. That's raw Tool
This is necessary...
It's so cool you made the connection!The song may not be about Jambi....but it IS named after him. Mekka-lekka-hi Mekka-hiney-ho!!

This is driving too fast down the Four Lane , windows down , stereo pegged in the red , Tool music ! This is the hardest charging Tool song , IMHO .

Jesus... They used to open with that... Perfect.
Right in Two, please. I think you'd dig it.
The live version (Salival Album) of PUSHIT will be your favorite FOREVER, it has smooth Maynard as well as angry Maynard. You will love it guaranteed
Ok, seeing as how we're a month behind your Tool reactions, I'm just going to assume you've listened to "Crawl Away", "Bottom", and/or "Jerk Off" and stop recommending them. I will move on to recommending "Ticks and Leeches" and "Descending". Thank you. :)
EVERY TOOL song is excellent and exceptional, my dear 🙏👍👏😉❣️
Its kind of like wishing on a genie like Jambi the genie. The sound is tricky kind of like having a trick wish
Oh and try Tool's Pushit Salival version if you want to hear them live
Adam went and hung out with Joe Walsh and that's why the box sound is so cool!!
Your favorite Tool song is the one you're listening to at the time. 😎🤘
Spiral Out, Lauren
First time I have ever seen anyone use the, "talk box", was John Kay from Steppenwolf, back in the late 60's, early 70's.
Still here watching!
I Love Your Reviews!!! I think You're doing a great job dissecting the meaning and the music. My 2 favorite bands are TOOL and Chevelle. I appreciate you listening and sharing your thoughts!!! I think your reviews are Great. Don't Stop...
imho, You should check out The "Triad" songs in 1 review. I would think after that You could go down MJK's Mother's rabbit hole.
Every album is FANTASTIC!
You're kinda right Lauren. It's called a talk box.
I'm sure all the Maynards love you as well.
Looooove the Talk box effect from Adam!
you should love it, it's a love song. and yes you are hearing the Talk-Box made famous by Peter Frampton
For more Angry Maynard check out “Hooker with a Penis”
But you really should listen to their first big song, “Sober”
Just wait.... you will be overwhelmed.
I personally enjoy your reactions. They are my guilty pleasure.
One of my favs, love your reaction to this song, greatings from México.
Really enjoying your channel. The Slipknot and Tool reaction videos are great! You are so genuine and its really fun to watch you go on this journey. Tool is such an outstanding band, such amazing artists that have mastered their craft.

You're correct about Adam using a 'talk box' ("straw attached to a microphone") effect on the guitar; well spotted :)
I love your angry Maynard scale.
YES!!! This is hands down my favorite tool song just love the talk box guitar solo!
No need to feel embarrassed you are correct that's Adam channeling his inter Peter Frampton. YOU RULE chic🤘
This song has a special place in my dark soul its like i married it.
Love your reaction you get and it will take more tool to realize it
KEEP IT COMING! Always here for your TOOL reactions!
You don't need to be over animated for us to know you're digging it. You're plenty expressive facially. 👍🏽😁
I've given up on trying to decide on a favorite. 😉
this is one of my favourite songs of all time. i was listening to this song when i asked my first girlfriend out and she said yes. even tho things didnt turn out well beteen us i allways think of her when i listen to this song and it makes me happy.
I knew that bass slide was going to get you!
Your are not alone. Just scibed . Don't get away from lyrics, they are very much needed to fully appreciate Tool.
Did she say "angry" Maynard note was born with the Grudge 😆... think she is ready for Third eye, go on Lauren for live version and see how Maynard holds that note you are crying for! 🤘
My video for The Grudge is when I started using the term Angry Maynard. Not when the note itself was born. :)
No, I'm wrong. LOL The Grudge video is when I started using "The Maynard" not Angry Maynard. :D
Yes! Third Eye, my personal favorite "epic" of theirs, the Chorus just fucking brings it.
Do 4° next, kick it old school
This also proves that the best tool song is the last one
So what your saying is you love all the tool and all the Maynard :-)
Tool has the best drops.
Jambi was the genie in Peewee’s Playhouse back in the late 80’s early 90’s btw
also the Mecka lecka hiney mecka lecka hiney ho...is the riff....i just realized that.l
Hence the title. And the gif I stuck in there before the song started. ;)
Jinjer - Wallflower. Will blow your mind
Tool army, checking in
The first time angry maynard happens in jambi, i dare you to try to sing that part.
Yes.... It's one of those: "Tubes" on a "Microphone" that makes sounds... with a GEE-TAR. :-P
We are here with you
Talk box. Peter Frampton really made it popular back in the day.
