#Tool #Pneuma #PastorRobReacts - เพลง
A live drum cam of this song was released recently.. Danny Carey is at the top of the game.
The people need every drum cam.
You must do this!!
Especially at his age
That live cam video is awesome.
You say that...like he’s ever off his game 😁
I’m still not convinced he isn’t a cyborg...lol
Its a message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
S*it the bed again.... typical....
Me? They chose me and I didn't even graduate from fucking highschool
I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed in my fuckin pants
@@PoliticallyAffiliated god damn, shit the bed
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience , we are spiritual beings having a human experience
This👍🔥💯
sularetal987 wise statement
words of truth
Yea I'm gonna use this expression for sure! Would make a great bumper sticker!
What the hell is the difference?
While Tool is not Christian, they certainly deal with religious and spiritual themes more than almost any other secular band.
It’s interesting to watch the development of Maynard’s thoughts on religion. I still wouldn’t consider him religious by any means, but a lot of his ideas are parallel with religious (particularly Christian) ideas.
This song outright espouses Gnosticism, which i full approve of, being a Gnostic Christian myself. Even the name is a reference to the Valentinian Pneuma, or God-Spirit within the self.
His mother was a devout Christian, see Judith and Wings for Marie Pt 1 and 2 and you can see his growth and change between his mocking tone in Judith to out right reveramce in Wings for Marie, she was his witness, who's belief she transferred to him and ultimately saves him.... Amazing...
i think Jesus is anonymously working on Maynu🤣🤣🙃
MAYNARD ( Typo
I'm pretty surprised you guys haven't already dug into "Parabol"/"Parabola" by Tool. It's a fantastic, beautiful song(they are two tracks but might as well be one) and your thoughts on the lyrics would be interesting.
I second this motion! But they have to watch the official music video
I third this motion
@@plathimus Oooof, that's going to be very interesting.
I fourth this motion
@@plathimus nah man I think it's better to listen to it first. All their videos are very distracting if you haven't already listened to the song at least 20 times
The fact that you don’t pause the music a hundred times but take notes for afterwards makes you the best reaction channel there is. Also, as an atheist I love getting new perspectives from you! Keep on!
The Humbling River by Maynard's other band Puscifer. You will not be disappointed.
Nature, nurture, Heaven and home...
The humbling river is an INCREDIBLE song, agreed
While we’re at it, Sour Grapes
Saw them live a couple years ago. The Humbling River may be the best live vocal performance I've ever seen.
It's amazing. Pictured as the opening song for Game of Thrones!!!
The production of this album is absolutely flawless.
I disagree. I think it is great musically, but overproduced and the mixing and mastering were too low
@@danielm5531 you need a better sound system
Spiral Øut
No, he’s not wrong. Less atmosphere, less creativity.
@@theaethor debatable
Disagreed.
Gaugue: What time signature is that?
Tool: Yes
All of them
Fibonacci sequence
I can’t play their music accurately because of their time signature changes. I’m not talented enough lol
Its hard enough just to move your head or tap your foot to it lol
@@bert407 listen to lateralus the song is written in fibonacci sequence
One of my favorite pass times over the last year is watching unlikely people listen to tool. Lol
Right? I never knew it was a thing I needed to see, but it's fascinating.
I’m glad others feel this
Yeah me too. It started with the Lost in Vegas guys while I was waiting for this album to drop haha.
He’s playing ALL these percussion parts live.. you HAVE to go watch the Danny Carey drum cam video of him playing this song ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah it gets pretty insane during that calm part when each limb is doing something different, makes me drool.
@@Meister_Dwight he's a polyrhythmic wizard God.
NooDLES411911 not really, he is just an octopus disguised in a human meat suit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IMO, Danny Carey is the greatest living drummer alive today now that Neil Peart passed.
Christopher Smith THANK YOU
Matt Garstka
I tend to agree. Gavin Harrison is up there.
Danny Carey and Brann Daylor are definitely my favorites.
Better than Peart.
Even though I do not agree with all your beliefs, I love to see this point of view on the afterlife. If you get stuck in one belief without exposing yourself to another you can't grow as a person.
This. I hate all the crap in the current world where people try to shut down conflicting views. How do you know if the views you hold are valid unless you can here from different views held by people that believe it?
There is only ONE TRUTH. ONE BREATH. ONE WORD. There is no MY TRUTH. Anyone who tells you different, is selling something. One Truth..... JUST ONE, and all of us are searching for IT/YOU.
I like David's comment, One truth, one breath, one word. But for a deeper understanding of the resurrection, afterlife, and the body both spirit and flesh, check out the Naked Bible Podcast 95. Its most definitely not what we would expect from a mainstream perspective because the Bible is so much more fascinating when we let scripture interpret scripture and leave the traditions of man out of it.
@@daviddarko2665 nah. Every person has a different view on one matter. Truth is indefinable, unreachable, so we create our own truths, only thing that has ever come close to truth is science.
Dumas judith was Maynard's mom
Every Toolhead ever: "its hypnotic"
Tool isn't just music... it is 100% an experience. I think thats why so many potheads enjoy bands like Tool and Pink Floyd
Edit: that drummer!
Danny carey is possibly one of the best drummers of all time.
Also, Maynard loves to put religious undertones in his music. I think probably because most people want to feel like there is something out there. He is SUPER against organized religion. (Stemming from his church saying that his mother "wasn't right with God, which is why she got sick.")
He's not religious by any means... but he is definitely a spiritual person. Like positive and negative energy type.
I think that what makes tool so unique, is that their songs can speak to entirely different people, from entirely different religions... and it can still have some spiritual meaning to them.
"I think probably because most people want to feel like there is something out there."
The vast majority (especially the powerful) do NOT.
honestly tool reminds me of the grateful dead really
@@shimakazef.7809 : "honestly tool reminds me of the grateful dead really"
That just means you don't know any music theory! But you still have good taste. ✌️
Interesting what you state about his mother having problems I pray for him. Just to get this out there though According to the Gospel of John, 9:1-12, Jesus saw a man who had been blind since birth. ... Jesus replied: Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me.
Also interesting to know: "Pneuma (πνεῦμα) is an ancient Greek word for "breath", and in a religious context for "spirit" or "soul". It has various technical meanings for medical writers and philosophers of classical antiquity, particularly in regard to physiology, and is also used in Greek translations of ruach רוח in the Hebrew Bible, and in the Greek New Testament. In classical philosophy, it is distinguishable from psyche (ψυχή), which originally meant "breath of life", but is regularly translated as "spirit" or most often "soul"."
Maynard does this a lot! Hidden meaning in words even double meanings. Like the song "the pot" I love it you gotta look up the root of words and see how it also relates to the face value of the word.
I'm aware of the multiple definitions of the word and Biblically speaking It's used in a variety of ways. In hindsight, I could have used all the definitions to make my points because I touch on "Breath" and "The Spirit" www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?t=kjv&strongs=g4151
@@xKapnKrunch Double meanings in so many words he uses. I love it. Because it enables you to interpret it your own way as you see fit in so many instances. That is something I really appreciate with tool's and maynards lyrics.
@@Hexenkind1 yup "The Pot" was just the first very simple one that came to mind.
My favorite is the one in weak and powerless the end of one line and the beginning of the next "china white"
@@roberthoughton7127 love watching you guys btw its ok when you don't go into all the depth that avid Tool fans know! Its not like maynard makes it easy...
Invincible is my personal favorite track off this record.
I completely agree. It's possibly one of my favorite of their entire catalog honesty.
@@Scitscat111 same here. it's definitely in my top 5 of their catalog.
Pneuma, invincible and Descending are truly masterpieces
Invincible is awesome! Whole album is really..... Culling Voices is maybe my favorite, currently.
Yes. Invincible definitely hits home for me because I am getting to a point in my life that I am getting older and learning to really accept it. To me the song speaks about how, especially men, feel young and have a hard time accepting when we are no longer as good, strong or whatever as we use to be. It’s a tough pill to swallow.
Although I'm an atheist I like stopping by whenever I can to get your thoughts, specially on bands I like. Congrats for your work.
Also, I like your son's comments on the music. He has a good ear for it and brings nice thoughts to it.
Always healthy for the mind to consider things it may disagree with. Builds you up mentally. Used to be Atheist in my early life, but came to be Christian down the road.
I agree. I may have atheist leaning feelings, but I am open to opinions from “the other end of the spectrum”.
This song seems to impress upon me that we, our humanity, is a potentially powerful spirit that we need to explore and appreciate. Religious people might equate this to one all powerful being, but in my mind Maynard Keenan is saying that we hold our destiny in our hands. We don’t need to manufacture and worship a “Creator”. We are products of the universe that surrounds us, and in a way we are its consciousness and its will to survive. We need to cultivate this spirit, rise above our animalistic roots and become one with the cosmos.
Tf is an atheist
@@lucifer.Morningstar369 is a trap device used to hunt ducks.
@@thepaipedro lol atheism means stupidity
Danny went to college for his art. His playstyle revolves around math and geometry. The interesting sound he has playing at the beginning of the song is played on one of eight electric pads, called Mandala pads.
Now that Neil Peart is gone from this world Danny is the new professor.
Sacred geometry
Thanks for mentioning Neil Peart, he’s a fucking God
The most impressive thing, is the fact that Danny Carey is almost 59, and still nails this stuff in concert. Crazy.
He does the intro on drums live, he uses these electronic drums called mandalas, that he hits and programs to make those noises, it’s really cool
Hope everyone is faring well during the Pandemic. I've been praying for you all! May God grant you peace in the midst of this storm. I hope these videos are a welcomed distraction. ❤️Here's our Tool/APC playlist th-cam.com/video/G6NrxM6aIMM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Robert! Hope you're well. God bless
Thanks so much for this! Being a Christian with TOOL being my favorite band has made for some difficult internal reflections. TOOL is, and will always be, my favorite. Thanks for the video! God bless
I'm with you
Same here
Tool fans waited 13 years for this album to drop, and it was well worth it. All of the songs are amazing, but Descending has to be my favorite. Check it out.
Based on 10,000days, wings, Maynard is now saved, his lyrics are a well-defined truth, endlessly questioned by Maynard, in his path towards the self-evolution, becoming an enlightened being. He's following his own path as we all are, we must question everything to find our truth, and become our highest form. Instead of brushing things off as, "I Know he's this and therefore," its been 13 years since the previous album, 10,000 days, over 5000 days, and nearly 20 years since Lateralus, nearly 24 for Ænima, and almost 30 since Opiate, and Tool were in their 30's when they got together and got signed very quickly because of their sheer awesomeness. point being lots of time has passed by since each of their previous musical offerings. People grow as they live 5 and 10 and 15 years and more, as they say, "we grow into a different person every 5 years," Maynard has thus passed his 12 personal evolution and at a lifelong jujitsu, cross country runners pace. It'd have been way cooler if you tried to fully understand the best you can the words of this song, sadly this felt really rushed and brushed aside, very much a lost opportunity for growth on your part and for that of your subscribers. This song contains the light to light a lot of individual paths, I'D LOOK DEEPER, but that's just like my opinion dude. Party On!
That was all drums in the beginning the drummer is Danny Carey he’s amazing
Not to mention he does everything in one go with no click track as well. Pretty ridiculous drummer.
drums and samples which he triggers by drumming a pad.
The entire album is in variants of 7. As far as the time signature. Drummer's name is Danny Carey. Master and original. Keep in mind Maynard's phrasing as the singer is also done with the time signature in mind. He's truly one of the instruments. It's very complex. It takes multiple listens to get all the nuances and motifs.
Glad to see you back pastor rob.. How are you guys holding up due to the virus OUTBREAK!. Do you have and spiritual word's for us viewers?.
I’ve been sharing a lot of stuff on my instagram. Come join us! Link in the description. ❤️
@@roberthoughton7127 dang! Lol... Ive been locked out my IG account for 3 month's im not able to log back in.
I am always filled with the Holy Spirit when I play this song
Thats whats up
So true
10:40
I can't stop looking at Rob's shirt and seeing the dude on there jamming to this like he's playing it through his boom box!
🤣
That’s hilarious
I personally think the "child, release the light" part is a reference to their older song called Jimmy, which you should totally react to, in which he tells the child to to hold the light etc.
I actually hadn't considered that. Good call.
These guys are some of the best technical musicians on the planet. Def can’t underestimate them.
Most Tool songs are from a Bhuddist philosophy of the world, not Secular, or anti-anything. It's amazing to me that a band that's entire purpose is to inspire other artists to create, would be considered anti-anything, they are the opposite of that, rather inspiring the good of human kind and the artistry of humans around the world.
Darko240 that’s where the got the name from, to be a Tool of the listeners and inspire change, or reflection.
Stoicism. Close but no cigar.
No it is not
These one referenced gnosticsm.
I don’t think Tool represents any specific religious world view. Their elements of Buddhism, Stoicism, and Gnosticism, and yes, Christianity present in this song.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Love you pastor! God bless! Praying for you and your family!
I highly recommend listening to this whole album. Go somewhere dark and close your eyes, it’s quite an experience.
Yesssssssssss...was hoping you would do this. Happy thoughts for you and your family.
The spirit/flesh comparison you got down, but the "Child, wake up, release the light" section was glossed over.
As a Christian, to me that line immediately makes me think of Matthew 5:14-16: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
He's basically telling people that they need to let their light shine to the world, wake up to their potential, and to remember that we're all born of the same breath like you mentioned with regards to Adam's creation. We need to band together in order to survive together. All this said, I'm glad you guys decided to do a video on this song.
Knowing a little about the band's beliefs, the light is more likely to be the light of lucifer he is talking about, the "hidden knowledge" that God doesn't want you to know, probably the new age idea that you are a "god" you just have to realize it and after a certain number of the world's populations accept this the "ascended masters" will come to earth to "guide" the earth into a "higher conscience" (i.e. the anti christ's reign on earth).
Beautiful interpretation
@@FelipeSxy01 by goth you are tiring. only read this single comment and I'd already rather hang out with the Satanists. you know the world 'pneuma' was the original pre-translation word for the Spirit part of the Holy Trinity, right dipshit? or are you that far away from your own religion?
you know what's a far more useful tool of conversion than this judgmental preaching bullshit you did here? just live your truth without needing to attack others. because when others see your perseverance and inner peace (your inner "light", if you will) in action, they will /ask you/ for your secrets, seek them out. this shit just makes us annoyed at your entire existence. for further example, churches walking the talk of wanting to be like Jesus by helping the poor without judgment or discrimination has done more to put love in my heart for the religion than anything. to quote a different Tool song, "Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over."
I would highly suggest you also react to that awesome live version with a focus on drummer danny carey: th-cam.com/video/FssULNGSZIA/w-d-xo.html
And yes, he really is already 58 years old. Which makes his masterclass drumming even more impressive.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE TOOL TRAIN!! CHOO-CHOO!!!
thepeter it’s the only time I watch 😬😁
Glad to see you gentleman back with videos. I hope everything is going as best as it can with the family. much love for you and everyone else. Om Nama Shivaya, brothers and sisters.
They just take you to another dimension, in an amazing way! And yes, Danny Carey is an absolute beast on the drums! As well are, Adam on guitar, and Justin on Bass. There will never be another perfect combination of musical artistry! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The new album is soaked with Mysticism
Tension rob, tool are masters at building up tension then releasing it.
Another GREAT reaction!!! cannot wait to see what you’ll watch next!
Always excited to see the notification pop up for you guys. Stay well!
1st!! ...Also been waiting for yall to do this song, and it may be fitting to your familys current situation, but with a positive outcome! #LoveandPrayers
You should react to Vicarious by Tool
This song fits this channel
Very fitting for the times.
I'm pretty sure they did a while back, I think it got removed by youtube
Saw this live at two different shows...... it’s so unbelievable that it sounds even better live!!! These guys are so talented and amazing when they write music together!
I'm with you there incredible live.so perfect. So absorbing.
Man, I love your Tool reactions! Keep up the good work pastor, stay safe out there.
Pretty sure TOOL meant "Pneuma" in the "Soul" or "Spirit" context of the word as well. Great video guys.
William MacLellan another definition of pneuma is the creative force of a person.
@@Dustomatic yes, Spirit.
M Gonzalez but not spirit as in soul, spirit as it gusto
@@Dustomatic spirit and soul aren't the same.
Getting super-technical, PNEUMA is a loanword into English from the Greek, where it has multiple related meanings, such as breath, wind, spirit. Info on the wikipedia entry here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneuma
Hence the multiplicity of ways in which it can be taken especially in spiritual contexts. The authors of the New Testament used this when writing both about the spirit inside a man and the Holy Spirit of God, and started really drilling in to how God works in our spirit through His Spirit. It's a fascinating study in taking the mystical and ineffable things of God and putting them into words we understand yet still containing so much greater meaning that we can't fully understand.
4:48 Coincidentally enough, they have a song called The Patient. You should check it out. That and the song H as well.
They may want to avoid Hooker With a Penis or Stinkfist for this channel. 😆
They really should. Probably two of my favorite tool songs!
The Patient is an absolute must!
H is an amazing song, one of Maynard's best as a vocalist imo. Stinkfist could actually be interesting for discussion on their channel.
@@paeden5431 Actually I would find that discussion pretty entertaining.
Once again, I thought this was wonderful. Though I was raised Catholic, and went through CCD and Confirmation, I don't consider myself religious, our would proclaim myself as a believer of any spiritual structure.
I appreciate the openness into exploring the meaning behind something that may not have intended to fit within the Christian belief system. That openness, and the mental exercise of drawing parallels between the art and the religion, is a respectful one, and I believe is something that has earned my attention into hearing the input from your side.
I think the world could use a lot more of this. Honest listening, appreciation for the work put into the idea, and non-confrontational discourse of differing interpretations and beliefs.
Wow it's been a while, glad you guys are back doing another Tool song! Hope you guys are healthy, God bless!
I’d be interested to see what y’all think of Culling Voices
Eh
@@stinkfist7588 exactly
Underrated track for sure, I think it's great! It took me quite a few listens to get but once I did it blew me away and now I listen to it all the time. And the lyricism is damn good.
Jakob 100% agreed! It’s my favorite track on this album, tbh. MJK’s voice aged like a fine wine, it’s gorgeous 👌🏻
Capo Gabb Exactly! 🖤
Reaction to 7empest by Tool next. It's on their Fear Inoculum album. Its 15 minutes of pure unadulterated awesomeness.
I can't even air guitar that riff it's so mind blowing
No, react to Opiate
Prison Sex FTW
I've been waiting for this Thanks guys!!
What pastor says "I'm pretty stoked" lol. Rock on man. May the wind be always at your back.
Tool is great and A perfect circle is pretty good too 😄👍🏼 The masters of anticipation and flow. Great video guys
Fantastically insightful as always guys. I'm an atheist myself, but love hearing your opinions and views. Much love both of you and thankyou for the videos!
You guys are awesome! I love that you're not closed minded and hellfire-n-brimstone against music. I love your discernment. It'd probably be a totally different person today if I'd have had a pastor like you. Thank you and God Bless
Where have you guys been?!? Keep the Tool reactions coming! May god bless you and your family.
Couldn’t help but notice the guy on your shirt “jammin” during the entire song 🤣 Great lyric breakdown. The lyrics are often “out there”. Strange views but hey, we all have different beliefs. Thanks for sharing God’s word. God bless y’all and continued prayers for your family.
Carey playing Mandala electronic drums which gives him different notes in certain areas of each drum pads.
“It was good”...... biggest understatement in history 😂😂😂. Enjoyed the vid, keep it up!
Ty for this review. Wish you all the best :)
So glad you covered this song! You should check out “ What you Believe” by Johnathan davis (lead singer of Korn)
Starting to realize why they beat out Taylor Swift
Starting?
I realized that 7 months ago
Technically they only outsold her record when Fear Inoculum was released, I think Taylor Swift sold around 200K albums that weekend, but the previous weekend she sold somewhere around 800K, so overall she still sold way more. Pop is just way bigger than rock and metal, however unfortunate that may be lol
Shawn McDermott I think the main problem was that tool sold out and didn’t buy make enough albums. I had to buy mine off of eBay because there were none at my cd warehouse
@@Meister_Dwight that's because people like to hear catchy beats and lazy lyrics
I love all your videos! God bless you and your family
I love that something Tool-related helped uplift this podcast in wider viewership. Love the Tool clips guys! Spiral out! Keep going!
I’m not a Christian but, I appreciate the fact that y’all have a open mind about music. Thank you
The Doomed by A Perfect Circle is a good one too, lots of biblical verses in that one.
Name 1
@@shawndogg69er the song is based after the concept of "blessed are the poor, the peaceful, the meek.." but taken in the actual real world, where they are actually doomed
A retake and reversion of the beatitudes.. Pretty biblical even for a layman even if done so with an opposition and force of attention. Brilliant.
It''s good to see you guys making videos again, especially Tool ones. You guys are definitely my go to Tool guys, you always have interesting takes and it is interesting to see the implicitly religious overtones of Tool being discussed.
You guys are both so good at dissecting music, patient is a great way to describe this whole album (and it is a great album).
Layers, space and unorthodox timings the tools of Tool.
Everyone’s spark/soul is part of a whole
One spark, sun becoming
Congrats with 100k subs!!! So cool, that pastor love to listen music any ganres
Great reaction video, as always. You really picked the right song from this album. It's a great song, many people's favorite, and the lyrics are relevant for analysis by this wonderful TH-cam channel.
I’m a Christian, love your vids. I’m a huge fan of rock and metal. I know there isn’t screaming in this album, but I think this is the heaviest thing out right now. Check out the band War of Ages! And also, Killswitch Engage’s guitarist’s side project, Times of Grace. Both great Christian metal bands.
I love War of Ages...Void is one of my favorite metal albums. Blood of the Earth gives me goosebumps.
@@DeadSideDad I hope you’re doin good man, peace be with you
The song Tempest from this album is probably my favorite
Kevin Kibbe 7empest*
@@MetalBrains69 I know, but I figured for the purposes of the comment section it would be easier to just call it tempest
It was mine at first because it was so heavy, but after many listens, my favorite is Descending. Followed by pnuma, invincible, and then 7tempest.
I'm sure you mean "7empest" but yeah that song drives hard. Definitely Adam's best guitar work.
@@notsure1969 indeed I do mean that. I suppose I should've just called the song by it's correct name instead of Tempest
Interesting that you described the sound as clean. I've looked for a word that describes this whole album and I think you've just given it to me. It's like everything you hear on this whole album is so matter of fact and purposeful. You would really enjoy this whole album. Look forward to hearing more.
HAHAHA ! Channel just came back after a year I got geek's to hear ya say they are very patient.always thought that Absolutely the most patient rock band writing and arrangements. Good to catch up on your reactions .
I believe the meaning of Pneuma applied in this song is, creative spirit. Maynard was raised in a Christian family, and if you listen to the songs about his Mother he's not making a condemnation of Christianity, but of organized religion. Maynard has been cryptic about his beliefs, but most of the band talk about Sacred Geomotry and a lot of lyrics lead to that conclusion. I don't recall him condemning any religion or form of spirituality, which lead me to believe he puts forth the thought that there are many avenues to become closer to The Almighty. My thoughts on this song regarding one breath and wake up parallels, God breathing life into Adam to bring him to life, so in a sense we all originated from that One breath, if that make sense. Another informative reaction, and look forward to your next one.✌
He's probably into perennial philosophy, but he bashes organized religion
You guys should totally check out the rest of the album. Songs like invincible, 7empest, Fear Inoculum, Descending. They are absolutely amazing and have made me tear up many times
Another great Tool analysis. I love hearing your thoughts on Tool. Continued prayers to your family.
Glad to see u guys back!
pneuma- the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person : D
That is Danny Carey, the greatest drummer alive.
I love listing to y'alls perspective on songs, and how it does/doesn't related to religion.
Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. God bless, and stay safe. ~Wilson
please please please, i am beggin ya, please to a perfect circle - the doomed.
Mr Carey has a drum cam of him playing this
I grew up in a Christian church, and I am obsessed with Tool.
After learning about metaphysics and philosophy. Every time you say AD a.m. in reference to the song I cannot help but hear ATOM.
After stepping away from the church and going on my own journey, I cannot help but see every Christian tale as a parable through metaphors that can be applied through our experienced reality.
On much deeper levels than many can imagine these metaphors can explain everything that is what we call existence. However it is through long-winded poetic metaphors that most cannot grasp the beauty.
I had to look at religions outside of Christianity, and learn about psychology, metaphysics, magic, spirituality, New Age thinking, other religions around the world, and understanding that we are all connected to the one. It baffles me that you can understand Christianity as well as you do and not see all these things that you were attributing to Maynards own believe system are so in alignment with Christianity
The spark
The Flame
the breath
The universal energy force that ties us all together.
Taoists call it the Tao.
Scientists currently call it the quantum universe/dark matter.
Hindus call it Brahman
Christians just call it the Trinity.
It is a Unitarian concept that transcends ALL religions and human perceptions
Love your videos and conversation. Greetings from southern Spain!
I’m a fan of this channel, mostly because pastor Rob makes me feel better knowing that I’m not the only one who bobs their head out of rhythm lol
You just headbang to 4/4. It'll resolve after some verses 😂
In this album, there is very little back beat tl bob your head to. So many polyrhythms.
Since you've done both Tool and A Perfect Circle, I'd suggest Puscifer's The Humbling River. All three bands are projects by the same musician, Maynard James Keenan, and it'd be great to have you cover a song from all three.
Also, I know you're probably sick of Ghost requests, but check out their cover of Roky Erickson's If You Have Ghosts too if you get the chance!
It's selling the other musicians short to call Tool a project by MJK, and I'd say the same goes for APC. Puscifer is totally his brainchild though.
Do good to see you two again. Hope you’re well.
I hear this song probably 5 times a day but just watching yalls reaction to it. For some reason i love it
Do Invincible next please
That would be a good choice, but I'd also like to see them disect Descending as well.
It looks like Spurgeon is bobbing his head to the music too.
