Don't beat yourself up. Tool didn't have any of their music on streaming services for years (legal battle) and they were basically invisible to a generation. This is the best band on the planet. Strap in...
Ya know what? I never thought of that. I was in my early 20's when Tool hit the scene, and have always wondered why so many young people claim to have never heard of them. Now I get it! They don't listen to terrestrial radio, and Tool was not available on streaming services until August of 2019. Maynard announced it while on Rogan's podcast BTW. Keep going MollyBoy. We'll be along for the ride. I'm old, and still crankin' Tool whenever the mood strikes.
I'm not trying to neg on Tool, but I don't find them particularly interesting. I've tried my best to listen to several songs, but none of them have clicked. I listen to absolutely everything. Opeth is my favourite band and Tool sounds like a student band to me next to Opeth. I'm happy for everyone enjoying them, but Tool is not for me.
The music makes you feel good, but also, listening to lyrics that are smarter and more well read / well rounded than me give me hope that there is more out there than the matrix that is presented to us through mainstream-PROGRAMMING.
One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen is the newest Tool album comes out, dethrones Taylor Swift, and all of Gen Z lost their shit. It. Was. Awesome.
There is no "best' TOOL song. They are all equally epic. But if I had to pick a long song that could blow your brains out with audio.... "Lateralus" or "Invincible." And if you want to see bad ass drumming. Danny's live drum cam doing "Pneuma." Brains will melt.
@@Triangulum303 I actually found that Fear Inoculum is a great intro to those that are maybe new to metal or don’t really like the super aggressive angry metal of some of their earlier work (like my wife, I hooked her with Pneuma and now she requests this album regularly 😂😎)
Same, my cousin introduced me to them with Aenima, i wasn't quite ready yet... the odd time signatures made me uncomfortable, but then they grew on me and i've never looked back. seen em live 6 times, would have been 7 without friggin covid.....
@@56kwith200ping sober was my first favorite tool song, there have been many since but it'll always be up there, now it's wings for marie part one and two together....
The Pot is just a intro. It's only dipping your toes into what Tool has to offer.. Aenima has many good songs, was my first album with Tool, and still my favorite.
Best comment on Tool I've ever read...because that's exactly what I've always thought...Well, I didn't go as far as including Zep or RUSH, no disrespect to either one of them, but Pink Floyd, in my opinion, had a good torch carrier in Tool... I always said, no other band like PF, but Tool got very very very close...😎
The Tool Army will be all over your reactions if you go further and do more. It's great watching people get blown away by their majesty for the first time. Eventually, (if you stick with them) you'll start getting into the lyrics too. Strongly recommend Aenima, from the album Aenima...
You’ve just opened the door to your new favorite band. There is no one better. Great song to start with. May I suggest your next song be The Grudge from the Lateralus album. Enjoy the ride through Tool
Nothing is better than hearing a new TOOL tune for the first time. A VERY close second is watching someone experience TOOL for the first time. Welcome, TOOL fan. You've joined the army.🤘
Welcome to Tool! Good song as an introduction to this incredible band. Four musicians who are musical geniuses and they are all members of Tool. Loads to spiral out to in their amazing catalogue - Schism, Lateralus, The Grudge, Descending, Invincible, Pneuma (live drum camera is a must too for this one) 46&2, Sober, Stinkfist to name a few. Enjoy this rabbit hole my friend
The lead guitarist of this band was roommates with the guitarist from Rage Against the Machine. Both started in the early 90’s. Tool is like one of the last ones left from that period. Still making amazing music. Good reaction and I promise you if you keep going with these guys you won’t be sorry. Total game changer. That is all ✌️
It took me about 1 minute of Stinkfist for Tool to become one of my favourite bands of all time. Still in my top-3. That was two decades ago. Just saw them live again the other day. Best concerts ever!
Goose bumps is the exact reaction we expected you to have. If you don't get those, you might have to check your pulse to see if you're alive. You are definitely brought back to life by Tool. That's what it feels like.
American here. I met my husband in 2014. He's Scottish.He immigrated over to the US in 2015. I told him about Tool and they are his favorite band. We saw them in Memphis in January 2020. Their time signatures are amazing.
And then other grumpy tool fans like myself who roll their eyes whenever they hear it. I can't help but see it as the 'pickle rick' of tool. Amazing song, of course.
Reasons I rewatch this video... 1. The shear disbelief and deadpan shrug at the camera...so MFing legendary 2. Stankface 3. The evolution of your face from 6:07 - 6:15 Again, legendary 4. Molly gets it, it's just a great freaking song!
I was in high school in 1993 when I heard about this band I was literally blown away. I’d say 10,000 Days is their best all around as I truly believe it’s their peak performance. It’s a very personal album to Maynard. There’s something from every album that you will love. Trust.
was good to see your genuine reaction to tool, they are one of the best rock bands of all time. welcome to the army, you gonna love this rabbit hole brother.
As long as you continue down the Tool rabbit hole I will subscribe to your channel and enjoy your reactions to upcoming greatness. Yes, this song is awesome and all I keep saying to myself is “ oh wait until he gets to Tempest… no wait until he hears Decending, no 46 & 2 wait….. Oh my goodness he has a loooong way to go to listen for the first time to such a big discography of hit after Tool hits. Enjoy the ride buddy.
You DO NOT want to miss the Tool rabbit hole. Life changing stuff bro, trust me, there's no one better. So how do u approach them? I recommend going in chronological order starting from the album Ænima. Take your time if you want, but no skipping songs! Sometimes there's a 1 minute instrumental "prelude" to a longer song, so you can pair those together for the reaction. I genuinely think this will be the most rewarding and enjoyable way to take this journey. Much love
I started with Aenima as my first album from them back in the day then went back to Undertow as had heard many of the songs like Sober and Prison Sex. Their album covers and artwork were epic! Been on the journey since…so glad they’re being introduced to so many more now. About damn time!
I love seeing people hear Maynard for the first time. I remember when I heard Tool for the first time in the early 90s when they first came out. My head almost exploded. The voice, the music… they were perfect.
Love how you keep wanting to comment and start to, but then another intriguing sound enters the periphery, you pass on your thought and just continue listening. Always great watching someone enjoying the epic, gripping the safety bar, ride from beginning to end.
your favorite Tool song will be the one you havent heard yet.......all their songs are great. also, the lead singer fronts the bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
I love that so many react channels are doing Tool. Even if they are doing a first time Tool listen because of other channels success with these videos (not saying that you are) it doesnt even matter because they just genuinely become a Tool fan. Even if Tool isnt someone's style of music, there is no denying their talent.
Brother. Even if you don`t react to this band ever again, you WILL keep listening, as long as you`ve "listened" to one (1) of their songs. S. O. forever.
Welcome to the Tool journey. I knew we had you the second you started. Lmao. It’s amazing to experience a person discovering Tool for the first time 30+ years after most of us in love with them. The Pot is a great song…they all are… but is far far far from their best. It’s a good starter song, for sure. Tool is unlike ANYTHING you’ve ever heard, no question. Danny is like a man who was a drummer in a dozen past lives… culminated in who he is today. Every member is one of a kind, unmatched in their Art. Together… they are spectacular. Do yourself a favor… read the lyrics. And take some time, away from the camera, to just lay in the dark with your best headphones and let go. It only gets more astonishing.
I LOVE that you realize you can’t find the beat! When I went to see Tool live, I had the same reaction. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve ALWAYS known where the beat is and what the meter is. ( Come from a musical family and a musician myself) I was bopping along at the concert - definitely cerebral music. Suddenly I realized I couldn’t find the meter. The music was brilliant. I quickly got my phone out and Googled the musicians, especially the drummer. And there it was: Danny Carey has a jazz background and is known for mixed meters and polyrhythms. When I got home from the concert, I went down the rabbit hole on TH-cam and stumbled across “Pneuma” filmed by Vic Firth Drums, which meant the cameras were all fixed on Danny Carey. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched that video - just stellar in every way! You MUST see that one and see what a beast Danny is. Enjoy! (I’m enjoying your videos on Tool!)
saw them again for the second time in 12 years in toronto on the 20th of november. they were even better than the first time i'd seen them and 3 of the 4 members are _much_ closer to 60 than 50 now. the craziest thing to me is that danny is the oldest and _over_ 60 years old still playing a two and a half hour set playing their craziest songs still night after night. gotta respect the crap out of all of them, but watching justin shaking the tightness out of his hands after every song is so understandable to me, i have no idea how he can even play the bass like that at all, let alone for two hours plus straight, over and over again.
Welcome to Tool my dude. This is only the beginning…the rabbit hole is very deep my friend. Excellent musicianship, song writing, tone, feel. This band is incredible. This is music than can change outlooks on many things.🤘
Welcome to the Tool Army. I've been listening to these guys since I first heard them in the early 90s. When these dudes came on the radio, you knew they were a class unique from everyone else. Still are.
Finding lyrics to the songs are important. Maynard writes some thoughtful, introsoective stuff. Progressive rock genre. Inventive and creative like Pink Floyd the way they sound like no other rock band. So much individual talent working together seamlessly.
The Pot is indeed the perfect entry-level TOOL song...but trust us all when we say it is only the first inch down the rabbit hole. We look forward to watching your tumble. Much love, brother.
Tool is IMO the best so called progressive rock band in existence. Buckle up for a wild ride...and then when you think your done you can go and listen to 'A Perfect Circle' same lead vocalist different band members. Enjoy them all and please share them with your mates!
They cover Led Zeppelins song No Quarter - that alone should say a lot about Tool and Led Zeppelin. You should do both bands version and compare. Lucky to have seen them live and been rocking them since I was first learning snowboarding and they just came on the scene. DEEP Rabbit hole on this one. You have so many bands to discover.... 46+2
This song is SOOOOOO Intense. Tool Formed in 1990 and have been one of the most popular bands in music history ever since the mid 90's. 😃😃 WTF is right. This slays Alligator balls.
Not sure if metaphysical rock is a genre, but that’s how I’d describe Tool. Favorite band of all time. Happy to watch someone experience it for the first time. Thank you
I'm not going to try to take credit here (well, maybe a little), but I suggested Tool to you on a couple of your Pink Floyd reactions. SO GLAD you did it, and I'll bet you are too! They're obviously a lot harder than Floyd, but there are similarities in that the music is very complex and interesting with meaningful and creative lyrics. Lots of great songs to pick from and the Tool army will really boost your subs.
Can't imagine hearing this as my first Tool song as I had to wait almost 14 years after I started listening to them to get treated to little gem. As for where it ranks in Tool's catalog is very debatable because they have written so many great songs. For me, it's definitely in my top-10 but maybe not in my top-5, so keep listening and I'm certain you will enjoy your journey!
For sure, live sober, and I have seen a lot of reactors do that one. So, no copyright stuff it would seem. Though, I don't honestly think tool cares much if people are reacting. I see a lot of vids out there.
Maynard James Keenan is a true genius artistically and musically and in real life I'm so happy that you've discovered him and just one of his multiple bands...enjoy brother welcome to the fan club.😊
I'm 46 and have been listening to Tool since 1993. I have adult kids now and let my son use my suv. It came back to me with a new deck, an amp and 2 12s in the back. I was kinda mad at first cause the box took up so much grocery space but I put this album on and turned it up and ohhhhh myyyy glob. I kept the system until i got rid of that vehicle lol I probably looked ridiculous as a (then) 40 year old woman bumping tunes that loud but idc. Tool is my church. Welcome to the army. We're happy to have you=)
🤘🤘🤘 Let's go! James Maynard Keenan on vocals (legend), Adam Jones on guitar, Danny Carey on drums (legend), and Justin Chancellor on bass. Amazing band with some truly amazing music
Maynard James Keenan, otherwise, absolutely agree. Also, great reaction. The Tool rabbit hole is deep and Tool are life-changing, if you let them, hence the name Tool. Use the music and messages as a tool to inform your life. The band has been making music for over 30 years, and I've been a fan for over 20. Yes, this song is a great introduction to Tool, but the best advice I can give you is to listen to the first EP through to the latest release, "Fear Innoculum". They don't have a bad song, so no matter how you choose to experience them, you will come out the other side better than when you went in. Just sayin'.
I was never a big Tool fan never gave them a chance but when I found this song it was like discovering a new band, and they have a lot of other great Tunes❤

If you react to Tool, the Tool Army will follow. We all love watching people get exposed to Tool for the first time.
About thirty seconds into this video when I smiled and thought… “We hooked another one.”
This...👌🤘
Yesssss🤘🤘
True story.
Spiral out bro 🤘
Don't beat yourself up. Tool didn't have any of their music on streaming services for years (legal battle) and they were basically invisible to a generation. This is the best band on the planet. Strap in...

Deftones and alice in chains are better
@@Ok-uw3jq Better how? Is there a competition for the better one, or is that just your feeling about them?
Do you see how silly your statement is?
@@Ok-uw3jqYou are entitled to your opinion, even if it’s wrong. And I like AIC. Deftones are ok…
I'm not trying to neg on Tool, but I don't find them particularly interesting. I've tried my best to listen to several songs, but none of them have clicked. I listen to absolutely everything. Opeth is my favourite band and Tool sounds like a student band to me next to Opeth. I'm happy for everyone enjoying them, but Tool is not for me.
Tool isnt just music, its philosophy manifestated into music
The music makes you feel good, but also, listening to lyrics that are smarter and more well read / well rounded than me give me hope that there is more out there than the matrix that is presented to us through mainstream-PROGRAMMING.
Its an actual DMT-Trip - musificised. Watch the people without the sound. There all on a trip (until they remember the tv).
No Tom Morello in Tool, but Maynard James Keenan (the singer here) shows up in Rage Against the Machine's "Know Your Enemy"
Also Tom and Adam (Tool Guitarist) were in a band together in high school called Electric Sheep
@@ChristopherMoltisanti-j4w
I didn't know the band name. I guess someone read their Philip K Dick.
@@ChristopherMoltisanti-j4w Also: It was actually through Morello that Jones and Keenan wound up befriending Danny Carey.
@@ChristopherMoltisanti-j4wLibertyville High Scool, Libertyville, IL. I was a grade behind them in high school
I'm looking forward to this young man discovering Rage Against The Machine
One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen is the newest Tool album comes out, dethrones Taylor Swift, and all of Gen Z lost their shit. It. Was. Awesome.
Taylor did do a cover called
StinkSwift
Look it up 😉
"wHo Is ThIs NeW bAnD cAlLeD tOoL?!?" they said
Your life will never be the same again lol love tool great to see your face
God, I love watching Tool completely break someone's mind for the first time. Will never get old.
Ænima needs to be your next listen
Too right, always a treat
Molly boy I don't even care if you react to this guy's suggestion just listen to the song
Oh boy. You made it to Tool. Strap in little bother. It is a hell of a ride. Try 46 and 2 or Vicarious but there are so many cool Tool songs
Pneuma
There is no "best' TOOL song. They are all equally epic. But if I had to pick a long song that could blow your brains out with audio.... "Lateralus" or "Invincible."
And if you want to see bad ass drumming. Danny's live drum cam doing "Pneuma." Brains will melt.
He's not ready for Fear Inoculum album yet! Don't hurt the poor guy. 😅

SO true.
lol so true. Walk before you run
tools been my favourite band for 30 yrs! Love watching new recruits to the tool army!! 😂❤
Me too... Found them on a compilation CD from College Fest 1994 CSUDH. I think the track was Sober. Loved it and always looked out for their stuff.
Same, my cousin introduced me to them with Aenima, i wasn't quite ready yet... the odd time signatures made me uncomfortable, but then they grew on me and i've never looked back. seen em live 6 times, would have been 7 without friggin covid.....
@@56kwith200ping sober was my first favorite tool song, there have been many since but it'll always be up there, now it's wings for marie part one and two together....
SOBER (LIVE) IS SICK. MAYNOR IS IN SICK CHARACTER
amen sister moon
I absolutely love watching people experience Tool for the first time and have their brain melted....
The Pot is just a intro. It's only dipping your toes into what Tool has to offer.. Aenima has many good songs, was my first album with Tool, and still my favorite.
"prying open my third eye"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every tool song evokes emotions you won’t expect. This appears to have given you stank face which is quite common 😂 best band in the universe
You know we were all making the same face watching this reaction!
Years later and many listens later… the stank face remains!
Stank face for the win!
Agree with everyone. 46&2 and Vicarious after this. But their albums should also be enjoyed as a complete story.
Excellent choices!
I would add The Grudge, but that’s me. But yep
@@Trendkiller196 That's the other song I was thinking would be a great recommendation!
Pneuma, Aenema, Lateralus. You're going to see a lot of comments how you need to 'spiral out' and they are right... time to go on a Tool adventure.
Don't forget the Grudge, please!
Welcome to Tool brother! In service since 1992. Nothing like them. PERIOD. 🌀
You speak the truth, sir. Nothing like them.
TOOL is like your modern day Pink Floyd/ LED Zeppelin and Rush. Someone had to carry on the torch. Leave it to TOOL🔥
Strong words.
True words.
Best comment on Tool I've ever read...because that's exactly what I've always thought...Well, I didn't go as far as including Zep or RUSH, no disrespect to either one of them, but Pink Floyd, in my opinion, had a good torch carrier in Tool...
I always said, no other band like PF, but Tool got very very very close...😎
My two all time bands (if I had to choose) - Pink Floyd and Tool. I have always referred to Tool as the Pink Floyd of Metal.
@@tattoodude8946 Musically tunned-in minds think alike.. 🙂👍
I would need to include early Black Sabbath.
The Tool Army will be all over your reactions if you go further and do more. It's great watching people get blown away by their majesty for the first time. Eventually, (if you stick with them) you'll start getting into the lyrics too. Strongly recommend Aenima, from the album Aenima...
Hard to classify Tool as a genre but here we go: Progressive Alternative Hard Rock
That sounds about right!!
That works.
Tool is the genre :)
MAYBE ADD METAL ON THE END OF THAT 👊
Progressive Metal
I don't know how many times I've gotten goosebumps watching people react to this song for the first time
You ve stumbled upon the best band ever my friend. Enjoy the journey. If you react to their discography, your subs will double!
Watching people discover Tool for the first time is kinda my kink.
You’ve just opened the door to your new favorite band. There is no one better. Great song to start with. May I suggest your next song be The Grudge from the Lateralus album. Enjoy the ride through Tool
Nothing is better than hearing a new TOOL tune for the first time. A VERY close second is watching someone experience TOOL for the first time. Welcome, TOOL fan. You've joined the army.🤘
welcome to the army, Spiral out! keep going! all their songs are top 10.
Uh-oh....now all there is left is to chase the dragon. Finding this same feeling every time there's a Tool song you haven't heard.
Spiral 🌀 Out!
Welcome to Tool! Good song as an introduction to this incredible band. Four musicians who are musical geniuses and they are all members of Tool. Loads to spiral out to in their amazing catalogue - Schism, Lateralus, The Grudge, Descending, Invincible, Pneuma (live drum camera is a must too for this one) 46&2, Sober, Stinkfist to name a few. Enjoy this rabbit hole my friend
The lead guitarist of this band was roommates with the guitarist from Rage Against the Machine. Both started in the early 90’s. Tool is like one of the last ones left from that period. Still making amazing music. Good reaction and I promise you if you keep going with these guys you won’t be sorry. Total game changer. That is all ✌️
It took me about 1 minute of Stinkfist for Tool to become one of my favourite bands of all time. Still in my top-3. That was two decades ago. Just saw them live again the other day. Best concerts ever!
They keep getting better, whatever you pick.. and the drummer is another level.
Goose bumps is the exact reaction we expected you to have. If you don't get those, you might have to check your pulse to see if you're alive. You are definitely brought back to life by Tool. That's what it feels like.
American here. I met my husband in 2014. He's Scottish.He immigrated over to the US in 2015. I told him about Tool and they are his favorite band. We saw them in Memphis in January 2020. Their time signatures are amazing.
Great reaction!! 😊 Suggestions: Sober, 46 & 2, H, Stinkfist, Ænema, Right in Two, Schism, Vicarious, Eulogy.... and on and on 😁
ALL their songs are on TOP
Welcome to your new favorite Band. Doing Tool reactions will make your subs explode.
you may hear Tool fans say, "Spiral Out" and once you react to Lateralus it will make sense.
❤️🌀
And then other grumpy tool fans like myself who roll their eyes whenever they hear it. I can't help but see it as the 'pickle rick' of tool. Amazing song, of course.
@@merkaba48 Spot on mate... personally, when some new fan says "spiral out" to me, I perform the iconic part of The Grudge.
A lot of people say their favorite Tool song is the one they’re listening to at that moment. Enjoy!
💯
First time ever hearing Tool "The Pot" reactions are the best of the best. Watching new Tool fans be born brings me joy.
That joy you feel when someone brings Tool into their life. It always feels so good 🤗
46&2, The Grudge, Aenema or Vicarious. Welcome to your new favorite band! 🌀 out!
You’re about to embark on a journey of a lifetime!

Reasons I rewatch this video...
1. The shear disbelief and deadpan shrug at the camera...so MFing legendary
2. Stankface
3. The evolution of your face from 6:07 - 6:15
Again, legendary
4. Molly gets it, it's just a great freaking song!
Lucky man that this is new to you. Its special no doubt...start from the beginning, the progression is crazy
“Of all the tool songs, this is probably the best one”
Homie, every tool song is the best one.
Came here to see how many thought the same! Every song will be a life changer if it’s the first one you ever listened to.
I was in high school in 1993 when I heard about this band I was literally blown away. I’d say 10,000 Days is their best all around as I truly believe it’s their peak performance. It’s a very personal album to Maynard. There’s something from every album that you will love. Trust.

No love for Undertow? It’s a killer album.
Of course, Undertow first.
Can't skip Undertow, that's where it started (unless you count Opiate)
I started with Aenima as my first album from them back in the day then went back to Undertow as had heard many of the songs like Sober and Prison Sex. Their album covers and artwork were epic! Been on the journey since…so glad they’re being introduced to so many more now. About damn time!
Opiate is essential

Tool has been my inspiration for many many years. I loved watching you hear them for the first time!!!!!! Love it!!
I was going to suggest this,...😅but wasn't sure if you were ready!!!😂
No words is a great reaction to hearing Tool for the first time. Mind Blown!! Love it.
Welcome to Tool my dude. This is only the beginning…the rabbit hole is very deep my friend. Excellent musicianship, song writing, tone, feel. This band is incredible. This is music than can change outlooks on many things.🤘
Welcome to the Tool Army. I've been listening to these guys since I first heard them in the early 90s. When these dudes came on the radio, you knew they were a class unique from everyone else. Still are.
Tool is a great surprise! Can't wait for you to dive deeper in there great music
Welcome to the rest of your musical life, you've got some catching up to do but I'm here for it 👍
Finding lyrics to the songs are important. Maynard writes some thoughtful, introsoective stuff. Progressive rock genre. Inventive and creative like Pink Floyd the way they sound like no other rock band. So much individual talent working together seamlessly.
This one is hard even with the lyrics. Lmao
But for sure with the others...lyrics are important
The Pot is indeed the perfect entry-level TOOL song...but trust us all when we say it is only the first inch down the rabbit hole. We look forward to watching your tumble. Much love, brother.
Listening to any Tool song is a journey!
Yes!! I equate it to a religious experience. I know many of us do. It's exciting seeing new fans being made.
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Musical genius at work.......
Welcome to the world of Tool.
Tool is IMO the best so called progressive rock band in existence. Buckle up for a wild ride...and then when you think your done you can go and listen to 'A Perfect Circle' same lead vocalist different band members. Enjoy them all and please share them with your mates!
Nice reaction! I'm a fan for like 20 years and in 2 month I will see them live for the first time here in Germany. Can't explain my hypelevel 💥
this is the best Tool gateway song for a good reason :D
Ive heard this so many times ... and I still find new elements everytime I hear it )) I can honestly say , I never tire of Tool tunes !!
They cover Led Zeppelins song No Quarter - that alone should say a lot about Tool and Led Zeppelin. You should do both bands version and compare. Lucky to have seen them live and been rocking them since I was first learning snowboarding and they just came on the scene. DEEP Rabbit hole on this one. You have so many bands to discover.... 46+2
I AM SO HAPPY WERE HERE! About time babe, great job
This song is SOOOOOO Intense. Tool Formed in 1990 and have been one of the most popular bands in music history ever since the mid 90's. 😃😃 WTF is right. This slays Alligator balls.
Remember when the sober video came out?
Not sure if metaphysical rock is a genre, but that’s how I’d describe Tool. Favorite band of all time.
Happy to watch someone experience it for the first time. Thank you
they have so so so many great songs!!
And here we are, we're in this room now.
Probably the best song for an introduction to Tool. That said, this is an incredibly deep rabbit hole. Enjoy!
Also, you've been reviewing a lot of good music... was wondering when you were going to get to the pinnacle (along with Rush, Primus, etc.)
What’s it classed as? Masterpiece. Perfection. An experience. A whole ‘nuther level. Welcome to the Tool Army.
I'm not going to try to take credit here (well, maybe a little), but I suggested Tool to you on a couple of your Pink Floyd reactions. SO GLAD you did it, and I'll bet you are too! They're obviously a lot harder than Floyd, but there are similarities in that the music is very complex and interesting with meaningful and creative lyrics. Lots of great songs to pick from and the Tool army will really boost your subs.
Can't imagine hearing this as my first Tool song as I had to wait almost 14 years after I started listening to them to get treated to little gem. As for where it ranks in Tool's catalog is very debatable because they have written so many great songs. For me, it's definitely in my top-10 but maybe not in my top-5, so keep listening and I'm certain you will enjoy your journey!
It's fun to see people's gears start turning trying to figure out what's going on love Watching people hear these guys for the first time!
Check out live performance of “Sober”. His vocals are amazing live as well.❤
For sure, live sober, and I have seen a lot of reactors do that one. So, no copyright stuff it would seem. Though, I don't honestly think tool cares much if people are reacting. I see a lot of vids out there.
That face - the first time hearing Tool. Welcome, my friend and enjoy the journey!
Maynard James Keenan is a true genius artistically and musically and in real life I'm so happy that you've discovered him and just one of his multiple bands...enjoy brother welcome to the fan club.😊
I'm 46 and have been listening to Tool since 1993. I have adult kids now and let my son use my suv. It came back to me with a new deck, an amp and 2 12s in the back. I was kinda mad at first cause the box took up so much grocery space but I put this album on and turned it up and ohhhhh myyyy glob. I kept the system until i got rid of that vehicle lol I probably looked ridiculous as a (then) 40 year old woman bumping tunes that loud but idc. Tool is my church. Welcome to the army. We're happy to have you=)
🤘🤘🤘 Let's go! James Maynard Keenan on vocals (legend), Adam Jones on guitar, Danny Carey on drums (legend), and Justin Chancellor on bass. Amazing band with some truly amazing music
Maynard James Keenan, otherwise, absolutely agree.
Also, great reaction. The Tool rabbit hole is deep and Tool are life-changing, if you let them, hence the name Tool. Use the music and messages as a tool to inform your life.
The band has been making music for over 30 years, and I've been a fan for over 20. Yes, this song is a great introduction to Tool, but the best advice I can give you is to listen to the first EP through to the latest release, "Fear Innoculum". They don't have a bad song, so no matter how you choose to experience them, you will come out the other side better than when you went in. Just sayin'.
My head was bobbing with you throughout the video.
Welcome to the best band in the world.
I’ve been waiting to suggest Tool. If you like this, prepare for an experience.
Welcome to the Army, son
I was never a big Tool fan never gave them a chance but when I found this song it was like discovering a new band, and they have a lot of other great Tunes❤
Welcome to Tool young man! Love your reactions.
Appreciate it!!
Forty Six & 2 is a good one to do for your next Tool. Aenima is the greatest dis track I have ever heard. So many great tracks.
I'm sitting here so fkn happy for you lol. I'm a huge TOOL fan for the last 30 years. Welcome to the Army son. Spiral tf out!
This is your first listen to Tool and it's your favorite. I will say the next song will be your favorite and so on..... Have fun! 🌀✌️
