Hey man big fan ive been binge watching ur reactions the last few weeks. I was wondering if ur gonna do a reaction to "jambi" or "H." Both songs i think youll love especially being a father, keep up the good wrk PEACE!
U get it when u try and speak on Adam's stupifying subtlety, spellbinding doesn't come close , there's no speech ever been spoken, it's just felt, a feeling that takes one away...yeah you get/got it.... & ty 4 the intro , my 1st time culling voi....
Adam really holds it down. Isn't that what a bassist is supposed to be? Tool is the quites sentinel example of what is called music
❤ ya Polo
Cam Cole said if you don't hear his music soon, he's gonna hide in your closet and sing to you at night. Away is his best song, imo. PLZ check him out. He's amazing
POLO REACTS Amazing fact: Maynard doesn't even hear the songs until all the instrumental tracks are finished and ready. Only then will he listen and add the vocal track(s). Imagine the band playing these songs without Maynard singing them. That's how they get written. Maynard comes last, like a cherry on the top 🍒
I don't know if that was always the case though... I think I heard Maynard say that he used to be more involved with the music.
@@chrisdriver7776 Idk. Each member does his own thing til it's ready, then Maynard makes the vocals. That's the way I've always understood it to be
@@munkeeBraynStoo I think it was in Maynard's interview video with Rick Beato that he mentioned being more involved early on.
He said he receives a rough draft mostly tho, sometimes barely a song sometimes a nearly complete song. But it sounded like he creates his part and then they work together to make it all fit perfectly, he doesn't just throw vocals on top of the finished music track.
This didn't start until Lateralus-10,000 days. On earlier stuff you can hear parts written around vocal ideas...
Adam Jones is the master of understatement. A very different style, but in that he is very much like David Gilmour.
Man you on point. Gilmour has actually said he was a slow play not a shredder and so is Jones and he’s absolutely one of the best. His timing is phenomenal!!!
I never thought of it that way before but the comparison works.
Adams sound is what first attracted me
its been a 30 year addiction🤘
Always enjoy your reactions Polo. I’m a 62 y.o. woman who really feels this music down to the cell. I will be listening to bands like Tool to the current Alternative music played on radio for my whole life. I feel a bit lonely out here! Not very many men my age think going to a concert event like Sonic Temple Art and Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio a good time. Well I’ll be there, and I can’t wait! God bless!
Not too far from me
I will be at Sonic Temple this May!!! I'm taking my friend, that is also a TH-cam content creator, to his first Tool show. I'm 59 and absolutely listen to Tool everyday and have done so since 1992. Would love to possibly catch you at the show! Spiraling out forever!!!
I get it!! I'm 60 y.o woman same thing...I go with girlfriends or my son lol
Kimberly you sound awesome to this 62 yr old man so if you’re ever out cali way hit me up! ❤
@@claybadger she does sound awesome. I’m 39 and in Pennsylvania. Get in line buddy!
Just kidding about the last part it would be awesome if you two met! 🌀
best way to enjoy Tool in your car - get in the car. close the door. turn the grudge on (most other Tool songs will do). turn it up to maximum. smoke 'em if you've got 'em, sit back, close your eyes. enjoy the journey.
(note: car does not leave garage)
I'm with you on this
Adam Jones is one of the few guitarist that let the guitar breathe so his audience has a chance to take in what they just heard instead of smothering them with sounds. David Gilmore does it to. He let's each phrase have moment and its brilliant. You hit the nail on the head , less is more. Great reaction POLO and thank you for everything!
This is the reason I've always preferred minimalist bands -- The Police, Hendrix, Cream, Morphine, Jeff Beck, Black Keys. They leave empty space scattered throughout the music, which enhances the definition of each voice. I love old Lynyrd Skynerd, but mother of god, nine lead guitars, was it? Eleven?
Also John Frusciante.
It's official Polo. We're brothers in Tool. Welcome to the fam
I still remember a "critic" saying this track doesn't hit hard enough and Maynard having to defend this track. One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life. And yes, Tool paints with music.
I love the album (except for track 6) but this is my favorite on it. The guitar work absolutely bangs.
@@davejones6812 you don’t like Descending? Can I ask why, I’m genuinely curious to know
@flyervoracek5954 Sorry, it's not Decending I don't like, it's Chocolate Chip Trip.
@@davejones6812we chocolate chip trip is just an intermission its purpose is to just carry you into the next song but with that being said I think it’s a great intermission with crazy drumming and meditative singing bowls.
@@davejones6812 tbh I enjoy chocolate chip trip
Danny actually plays the first guitar you hear in the intro, then he transitions to the drums
He did that live the first couple shows lol, that’s it. Not on the album.
@@BrainWasherAttendent 😞... Yeah I saw them in Denver and he did it during the show. Didn't realize he hadn't done it for the album.
@@nmchaser it’s cool they did that live the way they did. saw them debut it in Sacramento. There 3 layers of guitar that’s why they added Danny in the mix . But I think running from stage to drum kit was too weird after a couple shows.
When it comes to ranking bands. There’s Tool then there’s everybody else.
His voice is an instrument, you don't always have to understand what he's saying but you can feel it
Maynard is brilliant...makes you think about what he's trying to teach us all ,his message in every song has a meaning to something
The reason why Tool doesn’t have 10 - 20 different albums is because they perfect their craft and refuse to give us anything less then their best, everything is carefully thought of and excruciated to create a masterpiece with every album, they are the most consistent and are the greatest artists in the world because of these things
After listening to Tool for close to 30 years, they are still my favorite band of all time. Hearing you say they're your favorite too makes my heart smile. Love your videos. Keep killing it
First few minutes of this song to me, is haunting. I listened to this numerous times while sitting next to my brother in the hospital during his last days. He lost his battle with Cancer.
I am so sorry for your loss
Danny is playing the rhythm guitar at the beginning
I remember the very first time I ever heard Tool. Early 90s as an angry teen in a bad place. Sober came on my friend’s car radio. Changed my life because I had heard proof that I’m not the only one with MY kind of problems. Every album has changed my perspective for the better. There will never again be a band like Tool and we all got to live in this time with them.
So happy we lived through this time in life
Same here exact experience for me as well.
I graduated HS in 1993 and was getting pretty big into car audio.
First time I heard tool was in a friends 60’s VW bug with two 12” subs, a pair of Punch components in the door all ran off of 2 Punch 150’s.
I was hooked on Tool after and look forward to this day for anything new they put out.
Culling Voices is my favorite on the new album
Oh I forgot to add the song was Sober that was playing in his bug
This track. Understated and underrated.
I wouldn't say underrated but more for those who understand it. Tends to funnel it in that category
This has been my fave on "Fear Inoculum" for many months.
As good as the entire album is I am drawn to this one and I don't understand why.
foolish comment, underrated by whom?
I have always loved tool since the 90's. Their sound is so unique there is no other to compare. The voice the instruments it's unbelievable. Always feel something when listening to their music. Welcome to the family
Adam puts it where it belongs, they all do. That's why their music works the way that it does.
I love watching ppl react to Tool. They never expect how it hits them!!
Glad you appreciate Adam man ..most ignore his greatness
He’s crazy underatted
Haha, I love how you pre-air-horned, based on the obvious trajectory. Don DeMarco!!
Waiting patiently for Eulogy, yes your absolutely right, your favorite Tool song is the last you heard
And I am waiting impatiently
When they play this live, for the beginning part, they all sit in a semicircle and they each have a guitar they play until about when Danny starts in with the drums. It's weird seeing them all in close proximity because they all have their spots they don't venture far from normally. It's almost like an intimate acoustic type performance.
I saw a clip of this, and it instantly made me fall even further in love with Tool. Kind of seems like a Danny tip of the cap to Phil Collins, but maybe I'm wrong.
Danny so big he makes the guitar look like a ukulele 🤣🤣
th-cam.com/video/EPHhpfVl92Y/w-d-xo.html
It’s cool live. I saw it in Sacramento (1st time they played it live I believe). Definitely one of my favorites off the F.I.
god it was so cool with all the confetti coming down as well. and Danny looks massive sitting next to all of them lol
Polo, watch them play this live... th-cam.com/video/VfjTUpP8ku8/w-d-xo.html
The members of Tool just move so well around each other musically.
Beautiful. Exactly what I was thinking
One aspect of Tool i love is how each song can be someone's favourite. Culling isn't one of my favourite tool songs but I can absolutely see someone loving it. One of the many unique qualities associated with them
This song hits much harder live. Lights are dim, confetti falling from the ceiling. Amazing vibes. 🥰
I visited Jerome, AZ a few months ago and from the vistas you get from where Maynard lives, you can see how he can get his mind to a place where he can write those incredible lyrics.
Did you enjoy some wine of his?
🤘
When this song is played live, all 4 of them come down to the front of the stage and grab guitars and start playing.
My favourite of the album... "Don't you dare point that at me" and that drop is insane!!!
Awesome reactions mate! Can't believe you have not done ThirdEye yet. Do Third Eye . You wont be disappointed
One of my best concert moments is when they all come front stage and sit for this song! The confetti falls and all is well in the world. Fucking glorious. Tool army forever❤
Your stick sculpture in the back there takes on greater interpretive movement with this song 😎🤘🏼💯
I was getting hypnotized…I just felt myself drifting along w/ the song staring….
"Such a chill track." Not for long!😂
Danny is certainly not sitting on his hands. He’s actually playing guitar along with Adam and Justin as well. He leaves the circle and gets behind the kit at about the same time Justin starts up on the bass. Absolutely phenomenal done live.
I like how you said "if I ever go to a concert its going to be a tool concert" Im going to my first concert next week and its going to be a Tool concert!
My favorite band! YES!!!!!!! I love, LOVE THIS!!!!! I love way all your reactions to their music. They aren’t song, they are a transcendent journey; every single one. Thank you for being so open minded to different genres ❤
I stumbled onto your channel today, lured by the Frank Zappa "Montana" listen. I've been a sporadic fan since his Phi Zappa Crappa poster was popular in 1969. Because he went over to the Wierd Side early, we tend to forget his foundational place in the history of music. I'm kind of an outlier Tool fan, too. I'm a 74 year old retired physician, graduated high school in the Summer of Love, 1967. I was there for the toddler years of rock and roll, although I missed the birth --- Ike Turner / Rocket 88, Link Wray / Rumble. After the phenomenal 1978 crop of new bands and new releases, we imperceptibly began the Long Slide into the Sea of Drek that is modern music. Morphine was a brief respite, until Mark Sandman took performance art to the extreme and died onstage.
My son, who's 33, alerts me to the few luminous exceptions on the musical landscape, and Tool was one of them. As a former musician myself I get caught up in the emergent phenomena that arise from their edgy but accessable polyrhythms and ear-snaring use of unconventional instruments. Karnivool gives me a similar buzz, maybe slightly less bleeding edge creatively but more rhythmically engaging. 80% of King Crimson's work is still relevant for much the same reason. If you're not familiar with these last two, your Tool addiction suggests you might want to take a listen.
I'm rambling, too. I like your site, like your taste, have subscribed. If the quality of your choices holds up, I'll go to Patreon.
Most underrated Tool Song
Your description of Tool is Spot on.. I know exactly what you mean
Saw them play this live for the first time ever January 2022 in Sacramento. It was so special to see them all sitting together at the front of the stage. Even Danny played the guitar until his drumming part came in. It was awesome!
I never felt the need to pay to see a band live in concert before tool. No music has moved me so much and they immediately became my favorite band of all time and I saw them the first chance I got in March of last year, first concert and all that. Spared no expense to see them and it was unbelievable. Still can’t even process it to be honest 😅 I love this band and when you said you would go see them live, i felt that because I said the exact same thing with that same confidence because damn. Tool, man.
This was indescribable when they performed this live. Four Maestro's sitting together interweaving each one's artistic vision. The glitter confetti that softly fluttered to the floor of the Arena was an amazing aesthetic as the arena lights bounced off of the foil. I was fortunate enough to gather about eight pieces, four of which formed some sort of puzzle.
Seen TOOL live 3 times! Best concerts I’ve ever been to.
And have seen a lot of great bands!
What kills me is that there is so much you haven’t heard. And the albums as a whole! Listening to them front to back is certainly a unique part of the experience.
Polo . James cone here.listen to Eulogy. If you have the time. Thank you for your honest take and view on my favorite band.
Bro I've been waiting for this one 😁 Cool thing about this song, is Adam is playing the first guitar riff you hear throughout, then Justin comes in on guitar, then Danny starts strumming a guitar as well. All 3 playing until you eventually hear the small percussions beginning. The songs about the imaginary conversations and arguments we have in our head with our mental projections of other people. pretty trippy subject. like you're pissed at someone, so you imagine a whole conversation that never even happens, yet can further taint your opinion of that person even though they were never involved.
This song opens my mind to how I do that exact thing. It's toxic
That's some deep shit.
agreed ..I try to stop doing it..but we all interact with people...especially at work that sometimes drive you nuts...it kinda feels like internal ventilation or preparation but I also can feel it sabotaging my day at times...but .gotta be patient and communicative and find solutions to or with those individuals...easier said than done though
I remember first listening to the Fear Innoculum cd on my 1.5 hr drive home from work. I literally had to pull over 3x and pause it to take a walk and stretch my legs and gather myself. I struggled through Chocolate Chip Trip but once 7empest came on I realized I was going 85 mph and was only issued a warning when the cops got me. I am being 100% honest that I was more pissed that I had to pause the song than get a ticket/warning haha. I told the cop what I was listening to and he actually laughed and said for me to wait to go home and use headphones. I love this world we live in at times
Incredible ..tune.absolute masterpiece..
I was blessed to watch the very first performance of this last year at the Golden One arena in Sacramento. I'm still trying to process everything I experienced in that moment. Watching all of them come forward on the stage and play acoustic guitars with Maynard's magical voice was beyond all I could have imagined! I've been a fan since 1992, the concert was number 1 on my bucket list. Took me 30 years, but I made it.....a second concert is now number 1 on my bucket list. Amazing, magical, and wonderful in every way possible.
I was there too. What an amazing show that was. Coupled with the fact that it was Adam's birthday that day too.
@@fucazombie yes yes yes!!!! I still have some confetti saved in my life's journal! So magical!!!
I was at that show also...... it was the........ 4th time? I've seen them? Great stuff.
Thanks polo, Check out Jambi next, hit that 2013 live dvd version, as good as the album version and you get to see Adams do his thing.
The way this piece lands in the album sets it off even more. If you ever have the time to listen to these albums start to finish after you hear them all once definitely do it. Its like watching a movie in your mind.
The beginning is pretty mellow and can put you to sleep after a long day...then all the sudden you wake up kicking and punching. F*ck!n dog is in guard mode. lol fun music for sure.
Most tool songs hypnotize you slowly, before you know it you're deep inside and then it's gets hard and back to slow and hard again. Rollercoaster of gratefulness.
I love all the tracks on this album but when I heard this song for the first time, I instantly fell in love with it. Maynard’s vocals are amazing!
Went to this tour last year. During this song, confetti fell from the rafters. And if you picked up the confetti and pieced it together, there were two or three different posters. People looked at me like I was crazy, running around picking up the confetti off the ground. Lol.
This is my personal faVE TRACK ON THE CD!
I'm 47 my man. I started listening to tool in 1993. I've had the luxury of seeing them live 12 times. Best live show I've seen. A close second was pink Floyd at Arrowhead stadium in 92. Check out Salival. It's a rare live album. Especially "push it" Would love to see you react to it
I love TOOLsday! Keep it up my friend!
The intro of this song, at least live, everyone but Maynard is playing guitar. You can start to hear the song change as they go back to their respective instruments.
Danny actually plays the guitar riff in the begining when played live! then hops begins the drums right before his part starts
In concert they are all sitting in chairs playing guitars. Then they go back to their spots when it kicks in. It was awesome.
I’m 68 and I love music that moves me. I love watching all your reactions and I’ve downloaded all of tools albums on my Spotify. Danny Carry is a rare drummer in that he’s such an accomplished percussionist. He’s not just banging the drums to bang them.
Went from “not surprised dudes wearing his boxers and a bra on stage it’s metal,” to “my favorite band.” Welcome to the TOOL Army! 🎉
The answer to your final question is, cruise control. Use it, know it, love it.
The door stopper comment! LOL. That just killed me. Love it.
The sound u hear is an electronic drum called a mandala Danny plays them alot. Stinkfist notably the first.
Look forward to your Tool reactions... "SCHISM" next! Please, it's a must!
Oh my god I forgot he hasn’t done Schism. This is crazy.
This track is definitely the most understated on the album but every song is beautiful on Fear Inoculum. If we get another album anywhere near as patient and thoughtful as this we're in a good place
I think I’ve heard most of the album and it’s a classic!!
@@poloreacts27 It's fucking elite.
During the live show Danny is playing one of the guitars up front with them then goes back to the drums
Just a point from a part time guitarist, but your comment on Adam is so true. I can play his entire catalog and it all feels so simple to play but it sounds sooooo amazing. Hardest part of this song is the intro. Its an amazing piece.
This is a hypnotic masterpiece for real ..awesome build up
The door stopper thingy is Danny on a synth pad.
Love hearing your reactions to Tool.
Polo, Tool concerts are incredible. As you know every song sends you on a journey, and what better way to enhance that journey by amazing visuals effects. Pink Floyd shows were famous for their laser light shows set to their music. Tool puts their spin on the same live show experience philosophy. I’ve seen Tool 6 times and they get better every single time. The one show I will spend $$$ to witness their craft. Another great note about Tool, they don’t allow photos during the show, so no phones up disrupting the experience for anyone. On the last 1-2 songs they give permissions to take photos because people are social media zombies.
My most favorite band of all time!!!
I’ve watched this song live. Danny Carey is actually playing the guitar with Justin & Adam in the beginning intro.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you become a fan just like the rest of us! I can't wait till you see them live... 🥰
Like some really, really strange, mystical prayer... Incredible 😮😊
It was incredible seeing them play this live all four members came to the front of the stage and they all played strings Danny was playing a mandolin and then proceeds to his kit
That lil grin during the build lol love to see it!!!
This was the highlight of the night when I saw them last January.
I love that you love Tool. The greatest band ever only behind Pink Floyd for me!!! Im 47 years old and was senior when Undertow came out and i fell in love with them.Tool is absolutely my generations Pink Floyd... long drawn our songs, progressive, spacey, with a harder edge but allows you to trip out to.
I don't believe I've seen you do a reaction to "Prison Sex" by Tool. It's almost 30 years old but also is part of the catalyst that led them to their unique sound. They, truly, are their own genre. Like many, though, I think you'll find their earlier songs more aggressive. And since I am commenting, the song "H." is my favorite. You should definitely react to that. It slightly embodies what they would become as a band in their later years in in my opinion
Prison sex is a very deep intense song. I dig it! H too. I just heard H for the 1st time recently. Gold, pure gold. All the way. 😎
Danny on guitar . Saw it live the first time woooo: Go to a concert , no, go to 100 concerts. Many bands have amazing shows
6:55 Danny actually plays guitar in this when they play it live.
Just saw TOOL live a couple of weeks ago, and this was my favorite song from their whole set. It was incredible.
Life changing
Danny plays guitar for this intro live, pretty cool! This Tool song gets hardstuck in my head like no other, I’m sure you’ll find out too haha
Keep going man, you are giving real Tool fans a treat. You can only experience Tool for the first time once so your reactions take us back to those moments.
You will gonna like this song, my friend POLO.... ENJOY IT!!!
Well they’ll be at the Sonic Temple concert in Columbus, OH! On May 25th! It’s a 4day concert, but you can just buy a one day pass for that day! And Maynard’s other band Puscifer is going to play Friday or Saturday! It’ll be an opportunity to go see them! But they are also gearing up to tour later this year from what I was reading
Danny said that Tool should be announcing a Fall tour soon. You have to go. Like, it's a must. And try to get up close. Whatever amount of money you pay will be worth it.
definitely my favorite on Fear Inoculum, it is such a culmination of everything the have ever done, loud music mixing with the quiet and some attempt to put it all together, and they nailed this as a crystal example of all they do. \mm/
Tool - Third Eye imo their first masterpiece and the bridge from the early prog alt/metal into what they are now.
I had a conversation with a guy back in like 1996 about Tool vs NIN. I was a huge NIN fan and believed the years would show. Well, Trent Reznor has since gotten Grammys, Oscars, and even CMT awards. He's incredible with his musical impressions, but around 2001-2 Perfect Circle turned me onto Tool. 10,000 Days is by far one of my favorite albums (still behind Downward Spiral). Maynard has such an amazing voice, and their guitars and lyrics are beyond reproach. But, the cyclic nature of NIN music still holds me.
Great job!! keep checking them of the list. Next you should do is H, Swamp Song and Opiate
I'm gonna see your live reaction from Lisbon, PORTUGAL. Keep doing it....... you rule!
Cheers from Portugal
I consulted Dr. Google and those are known as “ hinge stops” or “ hinge pin” or simply a spring stop. 😅 the more you know!
Fear Inoculum is the pinnacle of Tool’s brilliance. This is their greatest work to date. Not to say previous Tool wasn’t equally brilliant, but the maturation of this work speaks to all of us who have experienced and witnessed the juggernaut that is global, corporate Capitalism…..and what it’s left in its wake. A call to arms, if you will. A plead for us to step back and think about what is transpiring.
