As with every reaction we do This is not an endorsement of the genre, the song or even the artists themselves. That is a matter of conscience. Our goal is to listen to each piece openly and objectively. Pointing out where it presents truth and error from a Christian worldview. This exercise is solely to help develop discernment and to show the often erroneous view the secular world has of Christianity as well as where they unintentionally get it right. It is important to note that we believe pure truth can only be found in Gods word.

‘I don’t know why I’m so attracted to the drummer in this song’.
Just Danny Carey. It’s a totally normal reaction, no cause for alarm.
I saw Danny play from like 15 feet away when he went on tour with Pygmy Love Circus in the early 2000's. His power as a drummer can't be understated. It isn't just the technique. It's in his ability to be nearly silent and then deafening in a fraction of a second. And he's always completely in control. There are a few drummers who break new ground consistently. He's one of them.
He's in,a prog rock band named Volto. They play small venues in LA area time to time. Worth the 15 bucks or so for admission.
Danny Carey is an octopus 🐙 he plays so amazing
Wonder what he would think about the fact that Danny is into the occult and satanism, even owning a copy of White Stains with Mr Crowley's semen in the fabric of the cover. lol unless, of course, that's all just classic Tool sarcasm
@@MeanStreamFraudCast Any wise Christian would at least mildly educate themselves, if not study such things as Danny Carey does.
"10.000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home" - Gets me EVERY time. Damn.
Same here man. That line. Is killer for me. Especially that I experienced the loss of an amzingly kind loved one.
I cry everytime
thats supposed to be approximately how long she was in the wheel chair before her passing .
Every time. And I have probably listened to it 10,000 times.
yeah hits so hard
I believe Maynard wrote this song not necessarily from a Christian perspective, but from an outsider looking in. He's saying "you believed in Christ. You held faith through the worst trials anyone could ever face. If anyone deserves Heaven, if anyone deserves grace, it's you." I believe that is why he had the lyric of "please forgive this bold suggestion."
Agreed
He's also saying, if anyone gets to judge humanity, it's she...
Holy shit..
It's for his mother, Judith who was religious, and yet suffered for 27 years after a debilitating stroke. Maynard was 11.
so Maynard's mother suffered a stroke or accident ( can't remember which ) which left her paralyzed and speechless. she was an avid Christian and her pastor told her that what had happened to her was god punishing her for her sins. Maynard is an atheist. this song is about his mothers suffering and how he learned to respect her beliefs even if he didn't share them. it is a song paying tribute to her indomitable will that let her keep her belief in the face of so much suffering and his respect for her. it's in my opinion one of if not the most profound songs of love and respect ever written.
I’ve never been able to finish these two song with dry eyes. You can hear all the hurt in Maynard’s voice
I kinda hear more relief and at peace cuz shes no longer suffering.
in a child’s eyes, a mother is a goddess... she can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way... i am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe... because god could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers... and sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws...
Omg me too. Such passion and such a personal song. So thankful for him sharing it with all of us. A masterpiece.
@@seelenwinter6662 fuck that's heavy... and so true. I love my mom so much.
I cry at a lot of Tool's music.
"There is a lot of mean Tool fans" -- heh, even Maynard would agree with that
They always keep on asking for a new album(which we are finally getting on August 30th) and streaming(which we are getting Friday). Some even try to get up on stage(which Maynard flipped a bitch over).
@@kultenhughes3585 that dude had the best night of his life that day.
I'd wager 5 USD that the meanies just wear the liking TOOL badge like a mask.
Thats why he mounted that dumb fan and choked him out on stage... lol...
I don't think anyone despises tool fans more than Maynard James Keenan
Really great video, I'm not a Christian and don't necessarily agree with everything you discussed. However you encourage healthy debate and want to listen to others views. For that you have my respect, keep up the good work!
If you hadn't said it, I'd have
Exactly!
Well said 100%
Same here man

I like that the song "Judith" felt so cynical about Maynard's mom having faith, but years later he honors her faith so earnestly in "Wings For Marie".
So many people miss that element to this song, and I can't figure out how. He doesn't budge... but says "if you're right, you're the only one who lived it. Go get your wings."
I watched my mother die in front of me. Gasp her last breath. On the way home from that, driving through the desert I listened to these two songs..... silently...tears of understanding and comfort fell the entire time. I just watched this reaction and new tears fell, happy ones. I know his pain.
My heart goes out to you. I watched my father die but wasn't there when my mom did. My mom's middle name was Marie so I listened to Wings for Marie and 10000 Days right after I found out that she died.
Wow
Thanks for sharing. 💚
I wasn't there, but I saw him dead...
I held my moms hand when she went. She adopted me at two days old but she’ll always be me mum.
Although Maynard has written a lot of lyrics that seem directly opposed to Christianity, he has actually stated on multiple occasions that he is not against religion ... just closed-mindedness. It has always been his mission to provoke thought and spiritual open-mindedness. He does definitely seem to have some Church-related scars and a complex relationship with Christianity ... but then again, who doesn't?
I love this comment mostly because your unbiased answer. Thank you
If you listen to Judith it's about his mother & what she & the family went through with her illness & how horribly her church reacted to it. She was loyal to the end though! Maynard does not believe in any god & it's separate from the anger he feels towards this particular church that his mother attended.
Well, his mother was very sick but also very, VERY religious and Maynard went through a lot of pain because of her illness and family-related stuff and that made him really question god and religion. I understand him completely tho.
I have to say that the intelligent discussion that comes out of these reaction videos is right up the alley of what Maynard has spoken to. As you said, he's against closed-mindedness. If we can all communicate and discuss these ideas intelligently, I dare say MJK would be pleased.
well said young man....
Do Tool’s. Right in Two. You would like the song!
Agreed
Also mudvayne world so cold
I was thinking aenima by tool
Yess please, he would enjoy the lyrics and drums. But also i need to hear his reaction to it compared to my theory.
Yes. As I see it, this song is about how the angles are jealous of us humans, and them watching, in disbelief, how we've squandered everything that was bestowed upon us.
I feel when I listen to this that she wouldn't demand her wings and entry but he is speaking as though he has so much admiration for her that he feels if anyone can make such a demand it would be her. Just my thought when I listen.
Same feeling here, although I believe demanding something isn't that big of a crime anyway.
Yes I agree. Thanks for putting it into words.
i've always understood it that way too.
I've always taken it as him feeling upset at the trials she had to endure. She maintained her faith through it all, and it hurt Maynard to witness her devotion through the trials he felt she didn't deserve. She made it through her entire life this way. I always felt that it implied a possible backstory of him hoping she would abandon her faith because a God that put someone through the trials she endured didn't deserve her faith. Since she didn't falter, Maynard is demanding that she gets her wings. The anger and pain in his voice gives me this perspective. It is as though he is expressing the scenario he wants to happen and is playing it out in his thoughts during an emotional outburst. The rest of the song guided me towards processing it this way. She would never command wings if you take the entire beginning of the song and Part 1 as testament to her character. The ending of Part 2 contributes even more to it as him asking for her forgiveness just for suggesting she should tell her maker that it's time for her to come home (which is done far calmer than demanding wings). This ending also implies that Maynard has reached a certain peace in the thought of her entering heaven (or at least going home with her maker). It left me with the impression that he was happy for her conclusion. Her faith wasn't in vain. So it seems that his anger wasn't that she kept her faith, it wasn't at the trials she faced, and it wasn't at those that judged her. It was at the thought of her keeping her faith through the trials and still not making it into her heaven. Anger is a stage of grief that comes before acceptance. You could even argue that demanding wings falls within the bargaining category. The anger stage comes shortly after death and it is emotionally driven. It makes sense for him to fantasize about her entry into the heaven of the religion she put her entire life's faith into. It is a projection of his pain and anger into this emotionally driven daydream/fantasy... That's how I've always viewed it, anyway. Maynard famously takes scenarios/concepts/etc and breaking them down into their base concepts through representative metaphors that can be applied into however many ways the listeners chooses to interpret them. Even so, Wings for Marie seemed to be one of the few songs that he wrote more literally than others, and he tends to write songs as an experience more than a blatant narration.
I wonder how many people will actually read that entire wall of text? Hahaha.... Tool songs can never be simply summarized.
@@ArtByCole that was very well put. I agree. The song was him coming to acceptance. Suggesting that she of all people deserve to be in heaven more than others. I've heard that humans even rise further above than angels when we go to heaven. But this song was more of a representation of his emotions.
"A little bit of Primus action."
*Looks at camera
"Yeah, I know who that is."
😂😂😂
Definately need to listen to Right in Two by Tool
Yes please! I've commented this in the past!!
Heck yeah! That's my favorite Tool song.
Here's a lyric video I made on my second channel. It's not your typical "lyrics on a black screen" lyric video. I actually put a lot of work into it. I also put a lot of work into transcribing the lyrics of the ALBUM version of the song, since all of the lyrics you'll find online, including the ones on the official site, are for later LIVE versions (Maynard sometimes drastically changes his lyrics in live shows, and those are what he posted on the Tool site). th-cam.com/video/CiEhV4_9FbM/w-d-xo.html
Please!
The amazing thing about music, a non-believer like me and a Christian such as yourself can get goosebumps from the same song. I admire your ability to open your mind and experience this great band called Tool.
I’m agnostic but “you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence!” gets me every damn time
As an ex Muslim now an atheist that line almost made me accept Jesus for a moment.
Osman Kurt You should look into Nabeel Qureshi’s work before he passed.
Some ideas and emotions transcend religions. Religion is a human construct after all. So why should an atheist or agnost not feel some common ground. The idea of being witnessed gets you because we all universally want to be "witnessed" for things we do in life. We want others to bear witness and share in the things we do.
I used to be agnostic for years. After I lost my mother to Cancer when I was 14 I was convinced there was no god.
@@PinePrince I lost faith in Christianity probably 5 years before I stopped believing in a god altogether
I lost my mother last year to cancer. I'm 42 and I've listened to Tool since high school. This band's music has provided acres of inspiration to me and when I watched my mom waste into her final breaths I thought of MJK and Judith. I wanted to play wings and 10k days at the funeral parlor except it made me (and my father) cry so damn much we decided not to. This band drives a belief in a higher power for me. Music is as powerful as a drug... believe in these lyrics. They are special. This band is special....
I'm not religious at all but I saw this video and needed to watch it. I appreciate how open minded you guys are and you seem like genuinely great people. A lot of the religious people in my life have been close minded, judgemental, and toxic, and it's really refreshing to see people who are so open about religion and their views without squandering other's. 💕💕
That's why it's dangerous to claim your Christian but not follow Gods word. It damages people and turns them against him. People don't understand that Christianity is not religion but a relationship with Christ. That's why so many kids raised Catholic turn away. They put man in power and feel religious acts will get you somewhere. Real Christians who follow Christ put Love above all. Being judgmental is not love.
Amen
Ghandi once said something to the effect of, "I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians; your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
It’s not being close minded and toxic, that’s what Satan wants you to believe, it’s telling you truths that you don’t want to here. You want to be lied to. You want to be absolved from any responsibility. You want to ride the top of the fence so that you can fall over to the “ right side” when everything comes to pass but you won’t be given that opportunity. Don’t you know that? Don’t you know how dangerous the mainstream is? I guess not. It’s amazing to me that people think there is no purpose to life and that we are hurling through space, uncontrollably. Yeah right. They want you to think that you are insignificant but let me tell you that you are not insignificant! You are perfectly created by God and he wants you to know and live your purpose in life. Turn off the mainstream and watch your life change for the better.
turbotimthree I respect your views my guy so I'd appreciate if you'd respect mine, whether you agree or disagree.
While we differ on theology greatly, I respect you. Tool is one of the many tools I use for understanding myself and the universe. 46 and 2, Right in Two, The Grudge, Schism, Lateralus, Parabol and Parabola, and so many more are all incredible songs with incredible life lessons embedded within them. The album Lateralus is a stepping stone pathway for the mind and the soul to expand and grow. Again we couldn't be farther from apart from each other theologically, but I respect you.
I too must echo these sentiments completely.
Swami Om Are you a believer in Osho? I'm talking about the Indian Guru. I'm basing that off of your name.
I am not a believer in Osho. Swami is a title that can mean many things. It’s also one of many titles I’ve had and let go of over the years. Thanks for your interest :) ❤️🔥🧘🏻♂️
@@theredlogician4743 I just watched the documentary Wild Wild Country. Your name stuck out to me. I didn't know it had many meanings. Thanks for the info. It's interesting
Totally concur.
We can’t expect more than an open minded honest reaction and opinion and that’s what we got. Thank you guys for taking the time to learn the story behind the song. Your words about meeting Judith Marie in Heaven one day made me realize that she’s one of the ones that I’m looking forward to meeting as well. Keep listening to tool... keep those chill bumps coming.
Why Chancellor him self reacted to his own song? LOL.
DUDE 😂
Hah. Good one.🤣
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Budget Justin and danny
@@MR_MIRTH he is more like Adam jones hahah
Right in two by tool
I like the idea of this just slowly devolving into a Tool channel.
Dylan Brooks what do you mean, Devolving lolol
YES.
Evolving*
Funny how when almost any "reaction" channel does tool, they then keep going and growing with tool.
Evolving*
Ok guys, Pneuma reaction? :D
This. This right here. First listen to the whole album all the way through. You can check it out for free on their youtube.
They finally did it
As a non believer, I really admire your appreciation of the lyrics Maynard created. You called him out on the two points I have about the song: No one can “demand” entrance to Heaven. And wings are an angel thing. However, I personally give MJK a bowing pass on both of these “infractions” not just because it adds weight to the song. But for the help it gives me and many others, when someone close to us dies. A skeptical mind doesn’t help me get a grip on belief of god. But when people die, I just have hope.
Hey mate, good thoughts. I wonder if Maynard is using a bit of 'poetic licence' about the 'demand' re wings. You get the feeling that she wouldn't have been the type to 'demand' anything from God. Brilliant lyrics though. Amazing
@@Revheadrev feels like he's projecting his feelings in the imagined conversation. In the last verse, when he's at peace, the imagined conversation is different, the approach is humble and just gives a sense of quiet confidence in a life righteously lived.
this is his song of hope, and trying to grieve.
@@stefanovitali2925 agreed.
Fellow atheist here. Consider the fact that Maynard's mother spent 27-28 years immobilized due to cerebral haemorrage. She endured that and in Maynard's eyes she has earned her wings, her mobility, her acknowleged sanctity (as she percieves it). Her demanding to be let in also makes this point. She has probably seen it as a test of god and told Maynard that as well so of course when the trials were passed she'd demand to be let in, she paid the ticket so to speak, in her eyes.
My grandmother was a pillar of faith and died a horribly slow painful death at home of bone cancer and was excited about where she was going and witnessed the glory of God to the last breath. When I first heard this song when it came out I wept like a baby. It really hit home.
Very same reaction to the song that i had.
Same bro.. my grandma was one of the closest people to me, she understood me, never doubted me, never talked bad about me when almost every other family member did, and we had such deep conversations about many things, one of which was religion since she was a devoted Catholic and even though I was more agnostic.
Sadly she lost 2 sons in the mid 80s, followed by her husband, and still survived them by almost 30 years. She had dialysis and diabetes for the last 4 years of her life and never once doubted her faith.
Since then, i always shed a tear when i hear this..
One can be proud of a lady like your grandmother, not only theologically, but of her strength as a person.
I STILL get tears at this song. It applies to so many losses over the years, especially my own grandmother. Tool has a way of creating music that speaks to you seemingly directly, especially in the later 3 albums. Hopefully this year we get the new album and all new songs to enjoy!
Ditto
Tool- Right in Two
I agree strongly with everyone that wants to hear you review/react and speak on right in two by tool but i dont want this to just become a tool discussion...soo many other great songs out there
Tool eulogy
A perfect circle the doomed
I have listened to Tool forever. Over and over and over again. I know his history. I Know his mom's history. I know the meaning behind the songs. HOWEVER, this is the FIRST time I have sat here and FELT the pain he felt. I cried this entire time. My heart broke for him. Bless you Maynard. May you find the true peace you deserve.
Same here 🙋🏻♀️
Listened all the time and didn't understand the lyrics. Cryed NOW after all these years
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father, tell them the pillar of faith has arrived.
Perfect!!!
Atheist, musician, & metal fan here (and now a subscriber). Very much enjoying the perspective from you guys - appreciate you taking the journey into somewhat unfamiliar and even opposing musical and ideological waters. Our differences are what make us fascinating.
Would love to hear you react to Jambi by Tool.
Justizzle Lamparizzle Well said.. I feel the same exact way
Jambi wrecks me.
Well said sir. And to Robert, I agree with this completely. You guys are inspiring in your willingness to explore things outside of your comfort zone, and I can assure you that there are a lot of atheists/agnostics and people of any faith that could enjoy what you guys are doing, and see the value in it. You got my sub, looking forward to seeing more of you guys.
It's rare for me to make it through this song without crying.
"Give me my wings" is what finally got me
I’m a Christian and a Tool fan. Thanks for doing this ! I also like the line in this song that says, “ High is the way but all eyes are on the ground” . “Right in two” is another very spiritual song by Tool off the 10,000 days album. You guys should check it out also. And yes this album came out five years after the song “Judith “ from A perfect circle. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Right In Two is a great choice. I'm an atheist Tool fan and I think its their best song. It's subject matter would be a great topic for Pastor Rob here.
Right in Two has nothing to do with spirituality, its about going to war over land that was never yours to begin with. Like going to war over Oil. Which is what its basically about
@@tobypuscifer1810 Agreed, I think it also has a lot to do with Maynard's view of humanity. How petty we all are to let our anger drive us to commit such atrocious acts. Vicarious has a lot of the same interpretation to me, we are a species fascinated by our own mortality.
Non Christian Tool/APC fan here and I just wanted to say that you guys rock!
Thanks for giving it a go and having an open mind and not simply lashing out because of challenging lyrical content. I can see why somebody would be offended, but one would only be threatened and feel the need to act in such a way if their faith was not strong, right?
Keep up the great work - I am glad the Judith vídeo popped up in my feed!
:)
Me too I absolutely loved hearing a intelligent look on there songs... Although I disagree with some of his thoughts it was refreshing to see someone not condem a different point of view
100% agree with Melody
@Austin Lavista It's amazing that many Christians have so many different beliefs from sect to sect... So many interpretations... I tolerate & love those who tolerate & love me.
Omg, they did Judith? I just subbed, 2nd vid from then I've watched. I just took a chance while having a beer and I'm so glad I did.
Thank you for watching these. Its refreshing to see a christian look up and see the rest of the world and not just blindly judge.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times, and it still gives me goosebumps and I always tear up when you can feel him releasing her to "home." It's a beautiful song and appreciate that no matter the faith, this one really can touch anyone. Maynard's words really speak to us all and show us how mother really is God in their children's eyes.
"Home" is her home. Her faith. Her version and story of her beliefs.
I remember seeing after Tool played this song in Oakland, Maynard laid on the stage and cried while the whole band came and sat & hugged him. It was one of the most touching moments Ive ever seen @ a live show
Same, but in LA. That was the first time they ever played the song live iirc. I’ll never forget that night. And the next night either lol (saw them both nights in a row)
Wow
@@MisterK-YT Just saw them in Columbus last night. They didn’t play this song, but the whole band was next level. Like a religious experience.
@@BrandonToy yeah it’s always been that way
@@MisterK-YT I was actually a little worried that their live show was overhyped based on some videos I watched of live shows on line. In the videos, you couldn’t really see Maynard well and the sound was iffy. But I had hope it was just the production values of the video. What’s funny is that Maynard standing in the back ENHANCES his stage presence and lends this awesome aura to his performance. And the lights and sound were just superb, extremely high quality. Sound was actually better than their recordings. I’ll be watching for them to come around again for sure.
I am a devout Muslim, but I am always open to explore other religion views and respect them all. I too lost my mom as he did, but for a cancer that tormented her for a long time. However, she had always been religious, even in her deathbed. It makes me cry remembering the times when she lost her memory due to heavy chemotherapy and hallucinogenic pills to ease the pain and still cried when she forgot how to pray. So, this music is relatable in many aspects to me. Thanks for the video. Love from Uzbekistan
may Allah bless your mother's soul, brother.. Inna-lillahi-wainna-lillahi-rojiun..
Sorry about your loss
I'm sorry.
What is Islam's approach to loss and the problem of pain? In Western theology, there's a paradox between the idea that a good God is capable of stopping all pain and lets pain happen anyway. Does Islam have a similar paradox regarding your perception of Allah (PBUH - I think I did that right?)
@@lettuceprime4922 Muslims believe that pain is god's way of testing their faith, and that they must accept whatever happens to them good or bad. as for loss, they believe that you shouldn't cry for the loss of a close one because it was their time to go (people still cry though, because how could they not?).
Needed to hear this one tonight Padre. Shared the goosebumps and tears.
Stumbled across your channel looking to listen to this album. I appreciate the connection, and the message you are trying to share.
God Bless
I remember seeing them when they did their 10000 days tour and was at an outdoor venue and when they played wings part 2 a thunderstorm rolled through
If that isn't a sign....dang dude
It was amazing and those songs will never be played again
You guys should review right in two by tool!!
Great song!
I agree and the music video makes it even better and more sad
@@freakbag420 it's not an official tool video
Lone Wolf85000 i wouldnt have been able to tell since The art style is spot on for an official tool video
At this point, you're basically asking them to be a Tool react channel haha.
I'm glad you got to see the growth of Maynard from the song Judith, to this song... Tool- Rght in Two has to be your next Tool reaction!!!
that's true!
Maynard doesn't care about his mother's god, your god, or anyone else's god. He came to understand WHY his mother had faith and such an uncompromising position in life. He is merely saying that he realizes how pure she was with her faith and he respects that. A beautiful perspective for anyone to hold.
A pure and innocent perspective for anyone to hold.
Important to be said
Yes, precisely, to me this two part song is a perspective of an enlightened atheist so any theological criticism is perhaps not strongly relevant. The song is painfully emotional and highly relatable to so many people but it is hard not to feel like a helpless emotional parasite when listening and pondering it. Don't get me wrong, this song is important to me, but it is painfully relevant.
@@SushantaBabason I don't think Maynard is just an enlightened atheist nor religious, the spirituality behind his lyrics tells me he believes in a greater power. But I don't know.
@@HamzaWaked I agree but do not know either 😀
I never wanted to relate to these songs, but now I do, having lost my mom 4 years ago. I usually cry hearing these now. My mother was also a devout Christian woman.
"I don't know why I's so attracted to the drummer in this song."
Uh. That's because Danny Carey is the G.O.A.T!!!!
The God of Thunder for sure!
Of course man!! He is the GOAT. I play drums and I just hoped to play half as well as he does before I die.
Never seen anyone else better than Danny and his creativity!!! GOAT indeed
A G.O.A.T. drummer doesn't exist. The proper term is "favorite." Danny's not the greatest drummer of all-time, it's much more accurate to just say he's your "favorite." Any claim that any drummer, guitarist, bassist, vocalist etc. is the G.O.A.T is just not true. There is no way to measure a "G.O.A.T." That's why we have our personal favorites.
@@Bucketbothead007 wow... Thank you ever so much for your oh so insightful knowledge.
However, Danny Carey is the greatest drummer to ever have walked the earth. Have a great day! 😁
Tool Right in Two....please
THIS!
I was just about to request this one. Hands down best one
Please this!
@@kdouglas9256 😂
The words that I hear (translate) in this song are: "For your sake mom, I hope you are right, because you deserve heaven."
I am a deist. But I hope Judith was right, too. And I would hope that anyone of any faith (or non-faith) would have the same sentiments of other fellow human beings.
When my mother was dying to pancreatic cancer, she was fearful she did not do enough in the eyes of God and Jesus. The only thing I could tell her was the truth as I believed it. "Mom. If anyone deserves to go to heaven, it is you." So yeah, this song resonates with me completely.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my mother to Ovarian Cancer when I was 14 and Tool really helped me through it. My mother was an amazing mother and person and I miss her every day.
This song just makes me cry every time....its so overflowing with grief and love
Tool Right in two has to be next then Vicarious please
Yes vicarious, I think right in two is going to definitely be next though lol
Vicarious is excellent
I love vicarious but they should get off that album after right in two then get into something like eulogy or 46 and 2
I'm Still Gonna Request Right In Two By Tool
I understand completely how he feels. My great grandmother was a Saint, to the truest extent I have ever seen with my own eyes. She didn't curse, didn't lie, she never even raised her voice. She was a Christian and believed with every cell in her body. I sat beside her when she passed away at 97 years old and she cried tears of joy as she asked me if I could hear the angels singing. Then the wolves descended dressed in sheep's wool. Maynard was not truly saying that she demand entrance to heaven. It was more so that she believed so wholly in a place that he didn't believe in, but it sounds nice. He knew that's where she wanted to go. He felt that if anyone deserved that peace, it was her. The same was I feel about my great grandmother.
Thank you for doing these, especially with Tool. I was raised southern baptist and have been a huge Tool fan since i was a young man. I've kind of been torn on some lyrics because of my beliefs but have had enough struggles in life to understand. Thanks so much, that song got me right in my feels.
Don't let the douche bags get you down. Loving the reviews so far guys.

The life she saved was his. You read his biography “A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things”. This song is also about a man who truly loved his mother.
More than that. The Lord desired Maynard to come home. His Mother sacrificed herself to that end. She suffered so that he would accept divinity or allow her sacrifice to be in vain. He had a choice. He deified Judith Marie and Maynard will now be at His side.
Rather than arguing about our different beliefs, I would rather celebrate out amazing choice of music!!
One of, if not my fav, tool song. I'm so glad you take it from two perspectives all the time in all of your videos. Love it. Nice job guys.
Easily one of Tool's most beautiful songs, from my favorite album. Its also cool seeing you going over these songs, including Judith, with open minds. I'm not very religious myself, but its cool to hear what people say about songs like this.
"Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough, you're going home." The line makes me cry. Every time.
I think 10000 days is their most diverse album, often overlooked. Im not picking favourites when its about Tool. Impossible, its all absolutely fantastic and depending on the day/mood Inhave didferent favourites.
A fellow 10k fan!!! It’s always been the most well made tool album with the best beginning and the most emotional song.
I think i would believe more in Christianity if more people were like you instead of telling me ill burn in hell for listening to this music.. Instead of saying its the work of the devil. More Christians should be open minded, respectful, anf definitely understanding like you... Even though you may not believe or like the things that are sang about you still listen and look at it from their point of view instead of automatically assuming its satanic.
Sadly, those people don't even realize that they are in fact not Christians at all. Our purpose as Christians is to strive to live and love like Jesus did. Jesus loved EVERYONE. He had a special love and closeness for sinners, and the lost. Check out the parable of the lost sheep. Christians are to be the hands and feet of the Holy Spirit.
Being a Christian has zero to do with how you feel about other Christians. It has everything to do with your own personal relationship with Christ.
Once you realize that those people are a small but vocal minority, you just stop caring about them.
Hi my friend... I just want to take a moment and give you perspective of a former atheist turned believer. I'm 44... I've been a Christian for the better part of 21 or so years. I held MANY assumptions about Christians prior to my acceptance of Jesus... thankfully, a VAST majority of Christians that I have gotten to know & fellowshipped with over the past 2 decades are NOTHING like what you have described to be your experience. My hope for you is that you will look past some of those assumptions, as justified as those assumptions might be, and give self professed Christians the opportunity to earn your trust and friendship. God bless!!!
So if a christian tells you, your going to hell. Kindly remind them when passing judgement they judge themselves. God demands we be hot or cold. If lukewarm I spew you from my mouth. Those that play religious then live sinful (in my opinion the vast majority of these called christian) lives are hypocrites and give God an awful outlook. Not everyone believes your condemned nor do they condemn you. I myself am curious to understand how you dont believe. Me I'd insight a debate not an argument an intellectual debate. I too want better understanding as do most people. Good day to you
I lost my brother back in November 2021. Last time i got to see him was my 12th birthday, he passed away due to murder from gun violence. I only recently come into contact Tool just last night, I've had these two songs on repeat and I can't stop shedding these tears. I just know he's in a better place passing through the realms into the rose.
I'm Catholic and I love tool, definitely top three on my list of favorite bands, along with a perfect circle and pucifer.
So... tool, tool and tool?
@@victor_. or... Maynard, Maynard and Maynard lol
Yes! I’m a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I *LOVE* TOOL!!!!
Puscifer > Tool > A Perfect Circle
First off, as an ex-christian and current atheist, I want to thank you for your humility and willingness to find value in the secular arts, as well as being open to whatever discussions form out of this. That is something that was unfortunately lacking when I was growing up. Secondly, as a Tool fan, thank you for taking these two songs, as well as Judith, holistically and attempting to decipher the deeper psychological state of the artists involved. That can be hard for any of us coming at a work of art to do, no matter our assumed level of similarity between the artist and ourselves. Oh, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on Right In Two, as well. It may be a more theologically trying song, but I think it would bring some good conversation with it!
Thirdly, to any Tool fans or atheists out there who are being 'dorks' about the content of these videos, get your 'stuff' together. Think about the disservice to thoughtful conversation you are doing by being closed-off and aggressive. If you are hurting because of religion or from general negativity around you, that is understandable, and please, talk to someone you trust open and honestly, or message me and I'll be happy to talk honestly with you, but please don't take your frustrations out on people who are attempting to build bridges between a different mindset and yourself. That's all I ask, as someone who is probably on your "side" of things. I spent the first 21 years of my life as an avid follower of the Bible, but I am now an unashamed atheist, so if there are any harsh negative thoughts you absolutely need to say, please just message me and I happily will talk with you about them, but please just don't flood these guys' video with crap. As the great Carl Sagan said, "We are the representatives of the cosmos; we are an example of what hydrogen atoms can do, given 15 billion years of cosmic evolution.", so let's try not to be destructive imbeciles with that responsibility.
P.S. yes, I had harsher words to say before, but, due to the potentially sensitive viewership of this video, I edited myself. Anyone who doesn't edit ones' self, in sensitive circumstances, is most likely viewed by others as a 'turd'... if you would like the unedited version of what you are, and what the other words are, please message me.
Edit: just saw that they have already reacted to Right In Two, just about to watch it :)
You might have changed your opinion of me after watching Right in two but I appreciate your comment.
@@roberthoughton7127 Thanks for the reply, and, in fact, my opinion of you hasn't changed at (for the worse) since watching the Right In Two video, quite the opposite. It was another interesting perspective and I don't have to agree with you to appreciate your tact and your honesty. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos!
Thank you Aaron Van Pelt for giving this fellow non-theist a well thought out dressing down. I was one of the people who gave Houghton a ration of shit. I am especially pissed at myself for MY misinterpretation of Judith, particularly because I first heard the song way before he did. Yipes. More due diligence required on my end too. Mea culpa. And welcome to the Tool family Rob!
@@aaronvanpelt3000 good comment! I feel like your relationship to the secular arts - from the details in your comment - was similar to mine. I also feel like too many atheists and theists become very closed minded once they get their mind set. I - for a long time - was a Christian who never had my beliefs challenged and I feel like that seriously hurt my intellectual development. Too many times I see people who are in a closed mindset who argue their position with very little substance.
Thumbs up if you get goosebumps every time you listen to this song.
I get goosebumps just thinking about it
I get goosebump thinking about it. I cry listening to it.
Double thumbs up!!
Make me cry almost every time but can never stop listening
Tool is one of those bands you have to hear everything by to understand. The albums are like movies or books. He will take you on a journey of redemption and struggle. Emotions. You can't discern an opinion about him based on one song. Like it's difficult to judge a movie based on one scene, or trailer. Or one chapter or page. It's the path of totality.
"The Humbling River" by Puscifer. Do it!!
Oh God yes!
As a non believer I must say I respect this channel 1000%. I love to hear your thoughts on so many songs I love seeing from a different point of view. I would love to hear your thoughts on the band Brand New "Jesus Christ". I was raised in the church and went to private school which I attribute 5he way I am today. I saw so much I disagreed with that it pushed me away. Not 5he message but the people. Keep up the amazing videos.
I have a problem with the people at the church as well. I'm a Christian and that's the reason I don't go. Everytime I do, it seems like nobody's doing what the Bible teaches.
But our relationship with Christ is a personal one. I shouldn't judge but it is a turn off when people cut you off in the parking lot leaving service. Luckily, I can still pray read alone.
Song “Talk Talk” by A Perfect Cirlcle highlights this exact subject
Believe in the word of God not the word of man
@@zar7518 There is I believe a contradiction there though. The bible is ultimately the word of men. So for Christians how do you reconcile that. For myself I struggled for many years. Raised in catholic schools I was atheistic/agnostic most of my life but in the last 5 or 6 years have become a Deist. I find it to likely that there is some sort of divine being. However I just don't feel the bible is the representation of that. I think we have to find that truth ourselves via prayer/meditation. The beauty of this concept is it allows for acceptance and respect for almost any other religion. because everyone communicates with God (or whatever you may call it) in their own way.
@Khellendross .... agree with almost everything you said, come let us reason together... we have to admit mankind has became way more untrustworthy overtime than it was in the beginning. Religion is about faith not proof. And I have faith in the men in the beginning of time that took the word of God from God and put it on paper for the first time that it is from God. I do not read updated versions of the Holy Bible I read only and study only Christianity threw the oldest text I can find. With that being said I do not trust mankind and I put my trust/faith in God not in man.
I love your reactions to this music. I still cry when I listen to this song. Tool is a one of a kind band, with a sound and emotion unmatched by other bands. It's more than music, it is and always will be an experience. Nothing like hearing them for the first time. As a non Christian (but a believer in angels amongst other things) I love seeing your views on it. I think if we could all set aside differences and be more willing to learn from each other we would see that we are more alike than we realize. Thank you for your insights! I hope you continue your journey in the Tool universe. May I personally recommend "Reflection" it's a gorgeous song with some awesome drumming, but it's the song that pulls me out of dark places. Also like everyone said, I think you guys would LOVE "Right in Two" they talk about angels and how they are seemingly confused and understandably upset about the gifts bestowed upon us by God and our misuse and abuse of those gifts. Really interesting and insightful. I think you would have a field day from a theological perspective. Much love! Keep making videos!
Understand.... I'm thankful that he does listen....
I agree wholeheartedly with Katie. I am not of the Christian faith, but a goodly amount of my family are and I am very much of the mind that if your belief makes you a better person than I am all for it. "Reflection" is fantastic... also, the song "Jimmy" is one more part of this story. Please do continue what you are doing. Music is for all of the world, and any time I see other people enjoying music I like, it makes me smile just a little bit.
@@charliehunter9257 😊 ✌❤
Well said. I like your reply. Atheist myself. However all views must be respected. Yours and theirs included. Glad these two took the time and have the openmindedness ( if that's a word?) to make these videos. Good on them.
Commenting from 2025, is the new album out yet?
"I am proud to call her a sister and hope to meet her one day in Heaven" ❤❤❤
Really appreciate the time, effort, and attention given by both of you. You listen attentively and respond sincerely, and it truly shows in your videos.
As a life long atheist, I really love this channel and all that you guys do. Subscribed!
I have learned more about Christianity by watching just a few of your videos then I ever did going to church as a kid, thank you.
We are all on this spiritual journey together. Being a T()()L fan and a Christian are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Right? I been really down lately and this is actually making me feel better.
Same, i like listening till the end instead of skipping to the next video.
Wow I loved watching you two experience the song. I felt like I was experiencing it for the first time with you. But I feel that way a lot when I listen to Tool...it’s a fresher/deeper meaning as I evolve. Thanks for the video and sharing your perspective!
Literally doing God's work. You're making so many people happy with your honesty and humility.
At first I thought you were talking and analysing the song for almost 30 minutes. Then I remembered it's a Tool song.
This channel is dumb keep to tellin people bout God.... not music
donnie lanyon what?
@@donnielanyon9071 you obviously, in your limited understanding of life, have completely missed the point of this channel. He's not critiquing the music per say, he is looking at it from a spiritual aspect. And you must give him credit for being open minded enough to at least give it a listen, which most Christians would nor.
@@g-shack3655 I don't even know who pewtpie if that how it's spelled I'm more a shout at the devil guy I'm not a good guy and I just thinks this channel is dum dum dum dum I'm aloud to say how I feel without jackwagons like u giveing me shit so fuck off bro
@@donnielanyon9071 damn english isnt even my first language and i understand everything what he ment and they try to tell i think u just arent understand what they trying to do. or you just a troll BEGONE
1,000,000,000 points for the Primus reference!
Primus SUCKS!!! ;P
except that the bass riff is so below Claypool's ability its not a compliment
Brian Snyder I think the bass rhythm is parallel to Southbound Pachyderm and may have been cause for the reference.
@@InTheDecay Yeah, I can see that. Incidentally, Southbound Pachyderm is one of my favorite songs from Primus.
You guys are so cool! Love how open minded you are. I wish every Christian were like you two.
The life Judith saved was Maynard's life. The gift she gave him was faith. The sound at the beginning and end is the sound of a casket being lowered, and the loud percussive sound in between songs is her casket being closed.
You are drawn to the drums Pastor because Danny Carey is one of the greatest drummers of all-time. Good job on the video, interesting perspectives no doubt. You should listen to all the Right In Two requests that is a great song as well as Jambi and The Grudge as well. You really can’t go wrong with any Tool song.
Kevin Thomas ... I totally agree Danny Carey one of the greatest drummers of all time 👍
Yes to Danny Carey. He's an animal
Danny Carey truly is one of the greatest ever (and a truly humble guy). Saw him step in for a band recently to play drums (who were doing a cover of The Pot). They were kids - teenagers, and he jammed with them. It was beyond great to see. :)
I was going to say the same thing. Danny Carey is a true artist.
Danny Carey is alright but he's no Danny Carey..
Jimmy by Tool tells the tale of the onset of his mothers infliction, and his doubling back to his younger self to reconnect to his lost youth. Definitely worth a listen,
I relate to this song above all their work... My mother had multiple strokes be for I was 25. I spent many days bringing her to the hospital for treatments for bloodclots... New year day in 2015 she was admitted to the hospital for the last time due to yet another stroke. I signed her DNR and also signed for them to take her off her life support on Jan 8th 2015... she passed away and I've never found my way back to the arms of our savior. She was a god loving/fearing pentecostal woman... She was the little light of mine and since that has gone out I haven't ever recovered. Can't help but cry as I type this and listen to the song... I had my 25th birthday Jan 18th and never celebrated a birthday since then.
My mother died in 1993, I was 11 at the time, and every time I listen to Wings for Marie part 2 my eyes fill with tears... A wonderful song. When I miss my mother, I always turn it on... Greetings from Poland. Bear. 🎸🐻🌄. I've been a Tool fan for 17 years
You are pretty rad for going into any track with an open mind.
You two are going to become TOOL fans!
And then there's just NO GOING BACK
I think you are correct, He got goosebumps listening to it. Very few bands can achieve that kind of emotional response while listening them. Christian or not, great music is still great music.
It's hard NOT to become a fan, isn't it?
I think the fan is secretly a huge fan, and it looks like he is trying to hide it in front of his dad
Right!
man Maynard is speaking directly to my soul with his lyricism...
what an incredible band
This song literally makes me tear up , even watching you guys react I had to wipe tears away
Tool- Right in Two!
You want an experience? Rosetta Stoned... you're welcome.
No that might be too much right now
Haha yeah might be too much. If they were to listen to it i’d def recommend doing a background on the song
Only way to get into Tool is dive elbow deep into the borderline...
Hahaha I was playing that right before I clicked this video
If only Bill Manspeaker were to comment in this thread
I like how you explained the great exchange! Digging your videos keep it rolling!
You can't deny Maynard's growth from, originally, the song Judith, to 10,000 days by TooL
Amazing 🤩
Sorry, do you feel he has grown in a Christian definition of "growth"? Because you would be wrong
He's a total atheist/ sane person to this day.
Sorry.
@@lracseroom8286 Athiesm is not sane. It’s a belief in the absolute banality of perfectly ordered chaos. The denial of all evidence that none of this by chance and that intelligence permeates the entire fabric of our reality down to the smallest bit of code we can observe. It’s a philosophy devoid of insight.
@@BrandonToy Someone is pissed they wasted all that $ on a Theology degree and all they have to show for it is circular logic TH-cam comments and a job they could have gotten with a High School Diploma.
@@lracseroom8286 lol
As a TOOL fan, I gotta say, this was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your reaction!
I have to say that even having heard this song many times this was the first time I heard it while reading the lyrics. I never thought that I would be crying as a result of doing so. The love he had for his mother. The obvious example she set. Just beautiful. The person he saw in his mother is the person we should all aspire to be for our kids, and my tears are for falling short of that.
It's time to change.
TOOL's most powerful song ever. 10,000 Days as a whole in my opinion is there magnum opus. Such a spiritual journey for me. I know Maynard isn't very religious, but as a Christian I absolutely admire the work done on this album
Amazing songs and great review. Keep up the good work. One thing that has always loved about TOOL is you can literally see and hear Maynard's emotional and spiritual growth progressing through the albums.
Tool fan here once a Christian I just want to say Pastor Rob you are a truly a down-to-earth person and the fella next to you I don't know if he's your son or not but he is really good co-host and I think he is secretly a tool fan he knows more then most people about Perfect Circle and Tool which was impressive. I hope you guys continue this channel.
I like how at 13:24 robert actually gets how to listen to Tool.... you focus on the beat and let the rest take you high
This is another great reaction by you,
Some of your comments in this have really helped me in life, after my Dad passed, I was able to talk to my mum who is a Christian, in a way I wouldn’t of been equipped to do before listening to your channel
So many thanks for everything you have done for so many people and communities out side of your amazing reactions
I come back to this video from time to time because it just has this impact on me. I consider myself a Deist, but it's always interesting to see your reaction and your dialogue around music like this.
I can no longer listen to these songs by myself because I have a full on breakdown. It just reminds me so much of my grandma, who suffered just as Judith did, and I listened to this song after her funeral and it just.. broke me. I finally let go of the anger and sadness of my grandma passing away, and she was a devout Christian. I hope she knows peace as she sees it. Maynard's words always have and always will have such an impact on me, because I feel the exact same way he does.
As an atheist, welcome to the Tool experience, brothers. :) Seriously though, appreciate the youtube dialogue on the subject. I think you touched on every critical point that mattered on the Judith video! Hah.
Lyrically, vocally, and musically Tool is one of the best bands to react to if you haven't experienced them before. MJK served in the military, and then went to art school. Per his autobiography, the biggest take away I got was that it helped him learn how to structure music and art in general.
If you want to get more subscribers, I'd recommend a reaction video to an HD Nine inch nails concert performance of Terrible Lie. Very popular band, and that song touches on a lot of emotional and conflicting sentiments with Christianity and religion in general. I'd imagine you'd find a lot to comment about, and I think we all have a way of relating to the song.
Troy Talbot ... Believe in your bowl of mashed potatoes or at least something you atheist idiot. Without believing in something more powerful than you, you eventually will believe you are the power which highlights my point.
@@zar7518 Umm. I believe in you, brother.
Troy Talbot : Ditto ✌️
ZarGaming well that's where he's at in his experience. I understand your anger but anger isn't going to guide someone to the Truth. I was in atheist, and you could say that Saul was an atheist in the Bible (helping to murder Christians even). But then Saul/Paul had an amazing experience with God and went on to carry Christianity all over his region and beyond way back then. Some say he was responsible for keeping Christianity alive and allowing it to be prevalent nowadays. Point is that some people are atheist on the timeline of their walk in this world. The rest is up to God and humans carrying out God's will. I'm not defending atheism, but rather pointing out that this life is a marathon rather than a race.
Ok I apologize for the mashed potatoes comment and saying you are an idiot ... you are definitely not an idiot because ultimately you are one of Gods children. Just on a long journey for the truth...I hope the light of Christ leads you my brother. Just remember every civilization ever created was built on a premise of a Higher Power. No one is immortal and if human beings had the power in our minds and through science to create the world and everything that exist in it we would’ve already had world peace. This has not happened and never will, believing in a higher power makes you have to be “accountable” for your actions which creates better human beings intern creates a better world. God bless you all. ✌️
You both did a beautiful job with this video. I teared up every time you claimed goosebumps. It just goes to show that no matter your background, recognizing powerful music & feeling the music, we are all the same. And if we open ourselves up to the message, then we are lucky to witness the beauty within the insanity & chaos that we carry. Thank you again for taking a listen to these songs! You have made a subscriber out of me! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
Or Eulogy would be interesting
Hes talking about the 50 50 in life
So I randomly stumbled upon this Channel.
I really like the reaction. The thoughts and how you two are so open up for tool and rest of the metal bands.
Keep up the good work and hope the channel last a long time :D
I've been with tool since the beginning and have listened to ALOT of reviews about thier songs, lyrics, style etc. and find it odd to say that THIS RIGHT HERE just may be one of the GREATEST if not BEST review of EVERY review I have ever heard. The way you both left opinions at the doorstep and were able to address it in a manner of compassion vs everything else is something that seems to be slipping away from society the closer we get towards the Great Awakening.
Great job guys. My hats off to you both.
Peace and Love to you yours.
Your Brethren in the Light,
Gregory M. DeLuca
PLEASE do Tool - Parabol and Parabola!!! By far their most spiritually moving songs. 2 quotes from the song should be enough incentive:
"This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal. All this pain is an illusion." This line alone has saved my life and changed it completely for the better. Also :
"Swirling round' this familiar parabol, spinning, weaving, round' each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing."
His music slowly transitioned from angry agnosticism/atheism mocking christianity into some of the most spiritually moving lyrics I have ever heard. Look at "Opiate", "Sober", "Eulogy". All older songs with this tone/theme. He has now obviously come to believe in SOMETHING. What that is he has not clearly defined but it is evident and beautiful to watch as I can personally relate to this same path he has had. Keep up the great work. Loving these Tool reactions!!!!! 👍👍
Excellent suggestion
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do this one it's my favorite song by them by far
Those quotes have changed / saved my life numerous times.
You made me go back and listen with a new picture. Thank you.
he definitely must
