They played it at the concert i went to last november and they made the pause even longer so the tension just built up, the crowd went wild. It was awesome though
For me... this is one of my Top 5 Tool songs. However, it is one of the hardest songs to get into. It is like your entire body wants to bounce to the beat but the band does not give you permission to do so with the different time signatures. It is only at the drop where they allow you to finally catch up to the beat for just a glimpse. It is orgasmic at that moment! Great job again.
@@slantz49 Agreed. I prefer Lateralus as an album but I think 10000 Days is the tightest sounding record with Adam's best guitar playing and guitar sound.
The vocal instrument part is the guitar using a talk box, and was popularized by Peter Frampton. It allows the guitarist to talk into the microphone and then use the guitar to affect the voice.
well ...sort of technically it runs the guitar sounds through a tube into your mouth, and you manipulate the sound by moving your mouth as the sound moves through it into the microphone . You dont actually make sounds yourself.
The comments really skewed your mindset going in to this album. The name and the two songs, Wings For Marie and 10,000 Days are about his mother. The rest is not.
Jambi was a character on Pee-Wee's Playhouse, a erstwhile children's show, created by and starring Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman. Though marketed as a children's show, it was a cross-over to adult audiences because of the double entendres and other, more subtle humor. Jambi is a genie who grants Pee-Wee's wishes. While some assert the song is not about MJK's mother, but is about the birth of his son, I think you can't understand his feelings about his son's birth without understanding his feelings about his mother and his childhood largely deprived of the mothering she would have provided from his eleventh year on. Where Vicarious criticizes people for their voyeuristic and almost sadistic lives, this deals with his fear of loss while continuing at least some of the criticisms from Vicarious, including of himself. This is followed by Wings for Marie (Pt 1) and 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) where he is dealing with the final decline and eventual death of his mother, in which he again criticizes the "churchy" people who saw his mother's stroke as punishment for some unknown sin.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Thank you for listening to the music without pauses and I loved your facial expressions of surprise at parts. Subbed and keep up the great work
When I first opened this video I saw the comments and was worried I had given you the wrong impression that the songs go together like parabol/parabola, the triad songs from lateralus, etc... but after listening to your comments I think you got what I was saying 110%. The songs aren't related in terms of their message or any deeper meaning, theyre just really fun to listen to back to back. It's so rare for Tool to end a track with a lot of energy and aggression then pick right back up where they left off, with even more energy in the next song. Usually there's some sort of soft track in between to let you breathe, but in this case the album says NOPE and hits you real quick with that Jambi opening. So that's really all I meant, that the ending of Vicarious makes Jambi just a little more cool and I think you got it. Best Tool channel, keep it up!
Initum JAMBIE is a GENIE from the late 80's Saturday children's show PEE WEE's PLAYHOUSE. Any time that PEE WEE would say the word "WISH" Jambi would appear and grant him one wish. ✌
I had named my weiner dog Jambi. I had to put her down a few years ago after she had a great life. I still get a little sad whenever I hear this song...but a good kind of sad.
I said this on the Vicarious video: "1 week ago I think it's a shame you might miss the effect this song has on the beginning of the next song on the album. This song ends with crazy aggression then before you have any time to really recover, Jambi starts with more fire and smacks you in the face with crazy rhythm." I think this was my fault for not being more clear lol
I’m enjoying your journey into Tool. You’re analysis usually goes in a different direction than what I’ve heard before, which I’m assuming deviates from many Too fanatics. My only advice, for your consideration, is the following: When you hear the sound of hooves, it is safer to assume it is a horse you hear, not a zebra.
@@betazep IDK, may depend on what a person is over thinking. For example, I’m really bad about over thinking break ups. Aside from the requisite self reflection, which is good, there is an element of torture that is not. Playing back a relationship in the mind is torturous. It can be all consuming to the point where my body is just going through the motions of day to day activity but my mind is elsewhere. Separated, if you will. Now, if you’re trying to decide on the right car for your family, go ahead and over analyze, within reason. Doesn’t seem to have a downside.
I'd love to see you react to Karnivool songs. They're progressive like Tool, similar in many ways. Check out Goliath or Simple Boy, Deadman or Shutterspeed. Would love to see you branch out into more than Tool and APC!
Really enjoyed your interpretation of the song. Never really examined the lyrics before. The drums are amazing. Guitar, at times, is heavier. All around great song. Never thought of Bambi. My first thought was Jumanji. I learn a lot about lyrics from you. Keep up the great work!
Jambi is Finish for 'iamb' as in Iambic meter in a poem. It is also a province in Indonesis, and yes Jambi is the Genie in PeeWee's play house. Perhaps Maynard was hanging out with Rob Zombie prior to writing the lyrics.
Jambi is their best song live. You should checked the extended versions floating around on you tube. I saw them here is Australia in February before corona. 7empest was played after now Rhys a double not for the faint hearted
10,000 days is an amazing album.... but Lateralus sits upon a level that very few albums in general get to. It’s their magnum opus like Dark Side Of The Moon is to Pink Floyd (in my opinion)
This song more than any others (except maybe Wings 1 &2) is filled with a ton of religious imagery. "Shine on benevolent sun." I challenge should be actually written out as "Shine on Benevolent Son." And there's of course reference to Legion and "sace your poison" which is a vall back to the stort of St. Benedict.
I think it's okay that these first 2 songs don't need to be played together, but Wings and 10,000 Days do, they are basically one song. Also, I'm pretty sure a "Jambi" is a kind of drum that you can put your forearm inside to affect the volume of air inside and change the sound it makes by how much space you occupy inside the drum. I think it was this type of drum that was used in the song 'Reflection', it is the first thing you hear where the drum sounds like it's falling away.
Be SURE to listen to "Judith" b Maynards other band A Perfect Circle BEFORE Wings. It displays the growth and change in Maynards feelings about spiritual matters. He has said that mankind is designed to evolve and to grow personally in life. This progression in Maynard is in display in full detail between those two songs.... and then, move forward and appreciate his further exploration of life and Spirit in the song Pnuma!
The song interprets for me, a spiritual awakening and rebirth. There are so many biblical references throughout the song that it rings very clear for me. But that is only my interpretation, as is the intent of most tool songs. I believe the song is clearly a dialogue of one turning their back on selfish and sinful indulgences and rebuking the nature of old ways in search of a closer connection to God.
The first 2 songs on the album do tie together quite well, so for a first time listen it might have been better if they were together. Not necessary though. However, Wings for Marie-10000 days have to be together and Lost keys-Rosetta Stoned practically are ‘one song’. The second one sounds really wrong without the other. Liked the video and loved the in depth analysis of the lyrics so I’ll keep an eye on this channel from now on!
Hope you guys see this! I have analyzed this song down to the last syllable like 100 times. So, I think I can help you understand. Analysis of literature (or poetry/lyrics) is kinda my thing but I wouldn’t call myself an expert so take it with a grain of salt. To understand this song imagine Maynard as two half of himself. The ego and his spirit/higher self/spiritual self/whatever the hell you call it. The ego is sitting “from his king’s Mountain View feasting like a sultan with treasures and flesh never few” as Maynard enjoys his life as a rockstar/entrepreneur. However, Maynard being the spiritual man that he is would “give it all away” if he thinks he will lose touch with his spiritual self and indulge too much in the pleasures of the flesh. - “If wants and needs will divide me then I might as well me gone.” - “No prize that could hold sway Or justify my giving away My center”
Before you do Wings of Marie and 10,000 days. You need to listen to 1. Jimmy , 2. Judith (Perfect Circle), 3. Wings of Marie, and 4. 10,000 days all at the same time. Then you will know the progression of Maynards journey during his mothers death.
I love this album but I love the newest album better. As far as the song I’m sure Maynard has some meaning to them but I don’t understand what he’s saying. I do think of Maynards voice as another instrument in the song.
I'm upset...!!! Why don't you just listen to the entire Album right at one time! Geesh... Don't give a damn about people saying you should do what they want. Do it how you do it guys.
Lateralus is the best album but 10000 days has almost all complete bangers. Aenima is also a contender. Fear Inoculum could have been a contender but Culling voices was kinda weak and it had fewer songs to supplement it.
The pause and then restart in this song might be the sickest thing ever.
That bass drop tho!!!!!
When my son was a kid (now 22), he used to try and catch the beat when it would start again. It was fun! Good memories.
They played it at the concert i went to last november and they made the pause even longer so the tension just built up, the crowd went wild. It was awesome though
100% dude
I dont agree that jambi needs to follow vicarious. However, wings and 10000 days need to be together!
right who ever said they were a pair...
as well as lost keys and rosetta stoned
@@Taunic Lost keys strongly ties into Rosetta Stoned. Those two go together imo.
@@aaroncole3941 That is what I was saying. I was commenting on your second line starting with However
@@Taunic Oh, I see.
Jambi is the name of the genie in a peewee Herman movie. “Wish it all away”
Jambi was on his tv SHOW, Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Lol, I never heard of listening to vicarious and jambi together
Also, Jambi was the name of a genie in Peewee's Playhouse. So the name refers to Maynard's wishes during the song
Exactly! Jambi granted PeeWee one wish every show. "MekkaLekkaHighMekkaHineeHo!"(Jambi's magic words)
Mechalecha-hi mecha-hiny ho!
Jambi was the Genie from Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
This is the answer.
Everytime that PEE WEE would say the word "WISH" JAMBI would appear to grant him one wish.
hence So if I could I'd wish it all away...then the dim my eyes word alliteration is just more of Maynard's songwriting brilliance. Typical
For me... this is one of my Top 5 Tool songs. However, it is one of the hardest songs to get into. It is like your entire body wants to bounce to the beat but the band does not give you permission to do so with the different time signatures. It is only at the drop where they allow you to finally catch up to the beat for just a glimpse. It is orgasmic at that moment! Great job again.
10,000 Days is by far my favorite album, on a technical level and is a lyrical masterpiece
Mine is LATURALUS. But you can not go wrong with either ..I have to agree about the lyrics as well the engineering in this is top notch
@@slantz49 Agreed. I prefer Lateralus as an album but I think 10000 Days is the tightest sounding record with Adam's best guitar playing and guitar sound.

Oh she is the perfect amount of "into it" for me lol! I'm subbing.
Initum Adam's Talk Box is a device where a tube goes into his mouth. ✌

If you know about pee-wee's playhouse
You'll know who jambi is. The riff adam plays near the end is similar to jambi's phrase...lol
Jambi's intro (first minute) is way more intense , engaging and awesome than most entire albums. Nice Review
I named my Labrador Retriever Jambi!
I had named my weiner dog Jambi. I had to put her down a few years ago after she had a great life. I still get a little sad whenever I hear this song...but a good kind of sad.
Woohoo! My favorite day, my favorite band. My favorite channel.
Your reactions are.... "So Good."
Vicarious has NOTHING to do with Jambi they do not need to be listened together. Only 2 songs needed to be heard together is Wings 1 & 2
I said this on the Vicarious video:
"1 week ago
I think it's a shame you might miss the effect this song has on the beginning of the next song on the album. This song ends with crazy aggression then before you have any time to really recover, Jambi starts with more fire and smacks you in the face with crazy rhythm."
I think this was my fault for not being more clear lol
Intension/Right in two, Lost keys/Rosetta Stoned
Loved this, will be waiting all week for Wings/ 10000 days😎

Not every song is about the death of Maynards mom. This song was about the birth of his son and becoming a good father.
Why I love it. Reminds me of my boys!
I hate to be a dick, but the song is about the unification of wants and needs.
The song can mean whatever you want it to, thats the point of tool
the voice thing youre talking about is called a talk box, where you talk through the guitar
Interesting that your first thought when you heard the title Jambi was “Bambi.”
My first thought was “Mekka-lekka-Hi-mekka-Hiney-ho”
My fav, guitar riff, cool song

See you in New Orleans tomorrow night :-D Love you all !!! TOOL !!!!
It has a good groove!
My favourite song
The time has come!
Tool 10000 day is masterpice for all time 😊
This is another soul toucher.... my #2 TOOL song
Wait - are people saying these 2 songs are traditionally played together, like Heartbreaker & Living Loving Maid? First I've heard of it...
Oh shit can’t wait to see the reaction to Rosetta stoned
Reaction is already there :)
Beautiful intelligent music .experienced by a beautiful intelligent woman. these are the things that make life worth living.

"Prayed like a Martyr"
Im curious what you think of the refinement and evolution of Tool through their album progression
You need to listen to Wings for Marie and 10,000 days together. Please. I enjoy your reactions every Saturday.
At 5:10 it resonates 😬
Be SURE to listen to "Judith" b Maynards other band A Perfect Circle BEFORE Wings. It displays the growth and change in Maynards feelings about spiritual matters.

She has done Judith ..he boyfriend /spirit guide lol has been guiding her
I always thought Maynard sung "forever in song" :D
Jambi is fulfilling.
Please listen to Wings for Marie and 10000 days together in one reaction. This is necessary.
Jambi the Genie. God? Putting God first. It definitely sounds like a prayer, worship of source energy
It's clear that you properly appreciate Tool. You get all stankfaced at the appropriate moments.
You have a Darwin on the shelf, right on.
If you take context on the lyrics, I feel that the song is about Maynard's vinard. Just my opinion.
A song about an addiction
Jambi is a port in Indonesia. What does that have to do with this song?....
I love this album but I love the newest album better. As far as the song I’m sure Maynard has some meaning to them but I don’t understand what he’s saying. I do think of Maynards voice as another instrument in the song.

The song is about his first wife.
Perhaps his mother?
They do not have the biggest discography on earth so if you start doubling up your songs your time is limited for sure.
You should analyse. Just listen. And enjoy. I'm not going to watch you doing it.
Out of curiosity, so why commenting? :)
These songs have absolutely zero to do with each other!!
