      Same here brother I remember I was 13 as a kid listening to 46&2 in my dad's trans am convertible and being absolutely mesmerized by the bass line and picked up my first 2 basses shortly after. Soon realized he's been playing tool videos since I was a baby and was always captivated by them and I was also born the day salival was released so to say tool is a big part of my life is an understatement lmao

      I agree. Aenima was my gateway song, but I was hating a bunch of things about society while studying epistemology. This song is better for introducing the masses. With my mom, I had to play pneuma and parabola because they don't have bad words and the lyrics are deceptively pseudo-Christian.

    I had never listened to a single Tool song until I was literally standing at one of their concerts in-person that I was 'dragged' to by my dad and it was a life changing experience that bordered on religious. Sitting right next to Maynard's side of the stage with a good view of Danny as well was just insane. Every song I saw live was my first time hearing it and this was less than a year ago as of this comment on the delayed Fear Innoculum tour (Covid delays). I'd rate the show an 11 out of 10.

Perfectly captured the feeling of a whole bunch of people becoming Tool fans, and had me high on nostalgia thinking back to when I bought my first Tool album, Lateralus, the day it came out, and my feeling of just pure joy and awe that a band could be so good. Tool is one of those bands that just captivates you. Absolutely legendary band, and fantastic video, well done.

And I cried and felt like I was literally at a damn church. It is the most moving, eye opening experience I’ve ever had. Everybody’s a Tool fan eventually. They’re otherworldly in the best way.

    I remember hearing that song on the radio while driving somewhere with my Dad. He had lost faith in music of my generation until he heard that. We went to "The Warehouse" (if you are old enough to know, you know) and bought both albums they had out at the time. Tool literally helped me and my Father bond when I was a young man and wanted nothing to do with any kind of authority. It made me realize we were on the same shit.

    I figured out why this particular TOOL reaction comp is so great: Each individual is expressing pure joy, appreciation, and utter surprise by their own emotional movement by something so seemingly "sinister" on the surface. Then us, as the viewer of all, can see how this masterpiece by Tool COLLECTIVELY affects all of them and all of us the same.
    All different walks of life, all different pasts and different futures, but right here in the "present" we're all just vibing as one. Words not even needed. Stank face is enough.
    Kinda makes you think - fill a room with Red, Blue, pro-this, anti-that, arch fkn enemies, and you got total chaos and negativity. But the moment you pump some MJ "Billie Jean" or some OutKast "Hey Ya!" or straight up gnarly TOOL into the room, ain't one person who's not gonna be rockin their head to the music, vibing. Straight erasing in that moment WTF we were there to argue about in the first place.
    Go a step deeper, and ask yourself, "why we all so distracted by anger and fear and hatred for one another?! Who has something to gain from keeping us at each other's throats?"
    And you'll arrive at the answer.

    There is something so satisfying in seeing people experience Tool for the first time. And what I mean by experiencing is sitting down and paying attention to the music. The Pot is the perfect introduction to Tool. It's not too long or too complicated but it still catches you off guard the first time you hear it.

Its been really good for me. I started listening to Tool again about a month ago just for that reason. Yes I don't think any of these man made drugs can be safe, especially from the street. I don't know where you live but I know that there are places you can take mdma as a therapeutic treatment. I think the controlled substance is probably an ok bet. But just remember, just as we are, without substances, our minds are plastic and whatever thoughts we let pass through it become our brain's physical reality as those neurons get fired and create those pathways. Drugs like mdma and psilocybin can help along the way, but only if all the variables(that could make it dangerous) are known, accounted for and controlled where needed. Your comment back to me was so appreciated. ❤️ All the best to you on the rest of your life's journeys, friend.

      I've always felt like Justin isn't appreciated enough, to me he IS the music. Adam is amazing, don't get me wrong, but mostly he's just off soloing throughout while Justin is over there being the backbone of every song. And he has some crazy good baselines just going OFF in pretty much every song.
      If you haven't yet you really need to give them a listen on a quality stereo with some good subs. Good headphones are decent but they're not as good as a nice surround sound system that rattles the floor. Closing my eyes and actively listening to them like that and Justin immediately becomes the focus point that all the others seem to be playing along to.
      Again, Adam is amazing and I love his work, but I actually think he might be the weakest part of the band. I mean no offense to him whatsoever, but think about it.

    I just have to say it. I've watched this video so many times. I've shared it on my socials. I've always been passionate about music. Many of my friends are musicians and anyone that knows me knows the love I have for the artistry of live instruments, arrangements of those instruments, lyrics, and vocals. What I love most about reaction videos is seeing someone discover a song they've never heard before. Songs from my teenage years up to now, many many years later.
    What I love most about this video is watching them slowly amp up, recognize how brilliant the song is and all it's parts and will never forget it. That is what music does, creates memories. You hear an old song and it brings you back. Seeing such a great compliation makes it even better so Thank You Derek.
