There are only two types of people in this world, Tool fans... and people who haven't heard Tool.
those are just future tool fans
My neighbor said only virgins listen to Tool. He listens to Blink 182…
@@MrKrushgutz oh the irony! Lol
...and my wife lol (hooker with a penis came on shuffle yesterday LOL)
some people just don't like music.
"It's like an... unorthodox rhythm."
Danny Carey: "Yes."
Probably the best description I've read...
Polyhythm or aka cross-rhythm....and TOOL are the masters!!
@White Wolf more like "hold my beer and SMOKE this DMT while you blink out the golden ratio in Morse code using your third eye..."
Yeah. If you look at it from the point of time signatures, a lot of songs seem like they wouldn't make sense. But then they hit perfectly.
It's a standard four four times signature but he uses syncopated 16th notes makes it sound way more exotic. Amazing non the less.
Tool's drummer is a monster. Man can literally play a different rythem with each arm and leg all at the same time.
The Octopus!
Danny Carrey himself lol
Limb interdependence. Its difficult but mot impossible and Dany makes it look easy. Amazing!!
Danny IS a TRUE percussionist!!
The Octopus.
You don’t “catch” the beat of a tool song, you simply “feel it”
Exactly
or you do a shit ton of counting lmao
In Tool song beat catch you!
You just let go and accept it and suddenly your body knows what to do.
Amen
I'm so jealous of people that get to experience Tool for the first time. So many songs that will blow your damn mind man. Just about every song has more than one meaning.
46&2 still the #1 for me.
Hahaha I remember exactly where I was when I first heard Tool. I was 7, on the way to my aunts house, and Schism came on the radio. I remember asking my older sister what instrument they were playing and that day I learned about bass guitar. I didn't listen to Tool for another 6 or so years then they became my favorite band. To this day 20 years later when I hear schism I can picture being on the road to my aunts house in the back of my mom's car
You should try Leprous. They are also progressive, and the drummer is amazing. Once you get used to the vocals they are fantastic. Nighttime Disguise is a good song
First listen to any Tool song is like your first high. You'll always chase that feeling lol
@@sintaxera hahaha I feel like the phrase "get used to the vocals" drops a LOT in prog music...
Listen to Tool with a good set of headphones. The engineering of the their songs is incredible. Once you fully appreciate their music (poly-rhythms, deep lyrics, engineering, etc) you will see how magical it is. Sammy Hagar said that these are the four best musicians at their craft (bass, drums, guitar, vocals) who all just happen to be in the same band.
The thing that still blows my mind to this day is the Wings for Marie 1 & 2 + 10,000 days separation and 'secret' overlay. That's the kind of shit legends are made of.
For real GET OVER EAR HEADPHONES or you are missing out on a lot of the dynamics intended. #Floyd #Zeppelin #Rush
TOOL on vinyl is a whole new experience
People love to mention how well Tool's songs are mixed, and rightfully so. But nobody wants to say the name of the man responsible for the mix. JOE BARRESI.
And now, for every kid under 30, you have to explain who Sammy Hagar is :D
This is a legit, wonderful open minded react. This is what ALL of us Tool fans have been looking for. Bro, when you talk about Danny's off time beats, and Maynard's voice being.... How I can't really put into words how his modulation, timing, and uniqueness is, is still how I feel 20 years later. EVERY TIME.
Tool n'est pas une expérience musicale ... C'est un changement de vie. Il faut être prêt pour cela. Tous nos sens se réveillent et sont exacerbés. La rumeur dit que des aveugles ont retrouvé la vue. Que des malades ont retrouvé la santé. Moi même je me trouve beau. C'est pour te dire.
Tool has been my favorite band for 22 years and honestly it’s my favorite thing to watch people experience them for the first time! Such a pleasure. Also, the song is about “the pot calling the kettle black”. It’s about their lawyers during the epic lawsuit they had against their record company.
Listen, Maynard is a master. The whole band is musical geniuses.
When people use terms like, "Top tier", or. "Next Level", are you ever like. ...... "Watch this Danny Carey video, and think what you could have done with your arms? And hands? And legs. And brains? And feet!?!
Straight up! 🤟
Not geniuses, but very good regardless.
The genius is their ability to mesh into one amazing organism, while still each doing their own distinct thing.
Man this is groovy as hell dont know man... Never listened to tool i guess i have to change that!
4 days ago this was my first listen, by now i checked out lateralus, 10000 days, the new album and even maynards other project a perfect circle and damn theres some nice stuff there.
Welcome to the Tool family. It's a rabbit hole that I wish I could go down again for the first time.
@@jasondimak5514 yeh but still i have to say i dont like every track and i struggle with tracks that have too long instrumentation just because my main genre is hip hop and the beat stay always filled with vocals.
But besides that i really dig it!
I've been listening to them since 93 and at that time I really only listened to hip-hop. Now since I tried to learn how to play drums, I've got a different way of listening to music, in particular metal music. I do understand that instrumentation can turn someone off, I can only say give it a chance.
@@jasondimak5514 cool man i was born 94 😂
I always give it a shot, i mean sometimes it just needs to grow on you. 10000days for example i needed 3 listens on headphones.
Right in two catched me instant and pneuma as well so its really depending on my own taste.
I wish you the best in life my friend, lets elevate!
You all are better off with Tool in your life :)
Seen a lot of these "reactions" to Tool, and primarily The Pot, this guy is ACTUALLY listening and trying to absorb it on the first go. not stopping it ever 25 seconds to get excited about what one of the lyrics were... actually processing the music. With Tool, no Single band member is closer to the front of the stage. They are closer to an orchestral arrangement than a "band". each of the 4 members stand on their own merits, without one, the band fails. This is the entrance to the rabbit hole.
I love that it doesn't matter what type of music you gravitate towards, once you hear Tool, you realize what music can be & your musical life changes.
"The Pot" is probably the perfect introductory choice for you because it showcases a little bit of everything that makes Tool the unique band they are. It also is one of Maynard's better vocal performances, but bear in mind that he is an extremely versatile singer and he can sound completely different from track to track. In many of their songs, his vocals are difficult to hear because he typically prefers his voice to be treated as just one of the instruments in the mix rather than front and center like with most bands.
I would encourage you to continue on this Tool journey. They can be an acquired taste with their unique polyrhythmic style, but I can assure you that most of their songs will grow on you with each listen. They have so many great songs that it's hard to choose one for a follow-up, but I think I would suggest "Right in Two" which was on the same album (10,000 Days).
Anyway, it's refreshing to see a reactor be so candid with their feelings about a song. If you like it, you like it and if you don't, you don't. And there's nothing wrong with that. Rock on!
Tool is just different man. Every song sounds different, they are on another level. Try '46 & 2'. With lyrics.
This is probably one of the best choices to start a Tool journey. The rhythm is more straightforward but still carries a lot of Tool hallmarks.
just don't do that one lyric video that also has an explanation of the song in it, because you just end up reading paragraphs instead of listening to the actual music.... if you do this song, find one without lyrics or lyrics ONLY, not that other horse shit i mentioned
My favourite is 46 & 2
@@notimportant3686 This
One of the greatest singer/songwriters alive, one of the greatest guitarists alive, one of the greatest bassists alive, and THE greatest drummer who ever lived, together in one band. The result is even greater than the sum of its parts.
Maynard James Keenan's high school choir teacher said "he always had an innate ability to hear those inner melodies"...his voice is soooo pure! Love it
Fun fact. The singer of Tool was actually featured on a Rage Against the Machine song. They were all boys back in the day
Know your enemy. The "I got no patience" part.
@@lightyagami1752 ... time... has ... come... to ... PAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget Deftones "Passenger" also.
Weren't Adam Jones and the guitarist for Rage Against in a high school band together too?
@@TCJC11 Yea. Adam Jones(tool) basically taught Tom Morello(ratm) how to play
The lead singer Maynard James Keenan. His other bands include A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer
You mean only singer.
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz you mean The Man. Lol
I jump from genre to genre so it is interesting to hear things from different perspectives. I wouldn't say im a tool fanatic. But id say im more knowledgeable of the band than he is :/. This is gonna seem so stereotypical... but I figured maybe he'd just like the sounds/ beats. I mean, which is fine. I listen to certain songs for only that reason too. But imagine trying to explain tool to someone for the first time. It must be like ummm tools a little out there. You in short just need or want to be socially aware for their lyrics. & they go in a bit harder. Its angsty. Sometimes even entertains spirituality at the same time. And ummm maybe ud like perfect circle? I guess they're a little more melodic, less screamy. But like I dont really know ur "thing" either. So, there's that. But thats them type vibes 411, yw 😊. But my thinking is abstract anyways. It sounds like an obvious but plot twist. What if its a dig even at their listeners... Something about calling the kettle black or however that saying goes. I dont even know. I just know it means hypocritical. Kettle can also be another word for pot, I guess. Ok im pulling sh out my ass. But tis why words are fun. Sometimes. You could prob accidently lead a group of ppl into sh & wasn't even trying to -Flowbots. He didn't really say that but wever. The things I comment when im killing time for absolutely no reason
You forgot Green Jello/Green Jelly. Maynard and Danny were in it
Tool beats and rhythms often have multiple things going on at once. Looking at the audience at Tool shows, you can often see 2, 3, 4 head banging patterns at the same time, depending on which bit instrument (or limb, in the drummer's case) the individual is grooving to. Just bop what you feel, man.
Tool always has crazy time signatures, it's part what makes them unique and interesting and fucking awesome. Danny Carey is my favorite drummer (and one of the best ever imo)
The really crazy thing is The Pot is in plain old 4/4... the fact that this is hard to pick up is insane!
@@eccehomer8182 It is in 4/4, but the main vocal motif is a polyrhythm and the other instruments are doing this stuttering syncopation that fits great but sounds like it shouldn't and the fact it does is some weird magic.
@@jbirkins Yeah... saying "plain old 4/4" is a bit simplistic. The fact it's 4/4 under all the complexity speaks to their musical genius. There are many other bands that use complex timings, but rarely do they hit the mark in terms of complexity and great song writing quite like Tool. Rush are another, but despite all the great musicians we have I'm struggling to think of another in the same top bracket. Maybe Led Zepp? But even they are a bit "porn" in comparison.
Tool is in its own category. The music and rhythm is extremely complicated...as a classically trained pianist I can't even find a beat to bob my head to! Better idea: smoke some *@%$, turn off the lights and just listen 😀.
No,it isn't complicated.At all in fact.I teach kids guitar.I get them playing this in a few weeks
@@pastorofmuppets22 for a pianist to transpose this song you have to understand that means playing justin Adam maynard and if that aint bad enough Danny. Teaching one part individually maybe be easy but playing all 4 at the same time... Not easy on the piano dude.
So true 🙏 Im a drummer myself so I got it quickly because they rely heavily on the rhythmic part of their music, so I get how hard it would be for a pianist to find the rhythm as easily 😅 tool is fucking amazing 👌🏼
@@timfarrow1545 80 percent of their work is in Phyrgian modality.The percussion varies a bit with time signatures.The string section doesn't deviate much
Danny Carey is the drummer for tool and he's an absolute monster. Everyone has their own favorite drummers and there's always debates on drummer reddits etc.. but whenever Danny's name comes into the conversation EVERYONE is like "yeah that dudes different."
When the Mount Rushmore of drummers is built, Danny will have a spot there…
@@854medic
🙏
@@854medic beside Neil Peart.
Carey is the all around best drummer alive today...all due respect to the many other great talents..but c'mon
True Dat!
Tool has a very hypnotic rhythm. They have different beat signatures with many of their instruments that all work together to give it a very tribal feel. Manard Keenan is the vocalist.
Quality headphones are a must. Having the lyrics up is a must. Coming back to the comments after you've posted to get an explanation of the song meaning is a must. These guys are deep.
One of the most inventive drummers of all time.
Maynard is one of the most POWERFUL and VERSATILE lead vocalist ever. People either love TOOL or they hate them. I love them. Once in a lifetime band. ✌ More TOOL and I'll SUBSCRIBE. 🤞💯
I love tool as a band. It’s most of their fans I can do without.
It like always say “most tool fans are just that”.
Tool is genius on an etheric level. Their music is a kind of transcendental experience that only Tool can evoke. It's an awesome thing to see someone appreciate their undeniable talent in such a way as they deserve. 🕉
Saw them live in Mississippi, best concert I’ve ever been to. Maynard’s voice is hauntingly good
Man, TOOL is some GOAT tier shit as far as musical ability goes, no stress liking them. They're legit AF.
The best part is that Kohls commercial comes on at the end and says “wanna hear something amazing?” Hahah
Been a TOOL fan from my 1st exposure, but I get so very much pleasure from seeing other people have their 1st reaction to it, now. Can’t ever go back to my initial reaction, & love the impact that they make. Thank you for sharing!
When homie said "Dare I say milkie ass vocals." I spat out my water bruh.
Maynard James Keenan is their singer, one of the best rock vocalists of all time.. Danny Carey, their drummer, is known as the Octopus, because he is NOT FUCKIN HUMAN. Check out the drum cam video of Pneuma to see what I mean..
Maynard's got 2 other groups that you should check out, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, if you want more of those silky vocals
Dude mmmmmm check that drum cam video out. Treat yourself. Just admire, don't try to analyze it because it's too much lol
My buddy introduced me to Perfect Circle about 2 days ago. Didn’t disappoint.
You definitely should listen to Tool through a good set of headphones. There are so many intricacies you miss in the mixing they do. Looking forward to future Tool reactions from you.
Also Maynard is the lead singer for the bands Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. He has different sounds/styles for each of his bands.
Super refreshing to see someone being genuine with their reaction instead of how people usually play it.
He can’t “catch the rhythm” only because Danny Carey uses many different time signatures. It’s not the basic 4/4 that is used in dance, rap, hip hop, country etc.
Check out Right in Two. It’s probably their most relevant song in today’s climate.
Vicarious as well
i was about to suggest this one
This song is mostly in 4/4 just with odd accents
When you have been listening to rock and metal for a long time, the rhythms they use in the songs become repetitive or you can already anticipate what the rhythm will be like. And that's the exact moment where you listen to TOOL
After listening to them you realize that it is a wonderful and unique band that there is no other like it
I told you, bro! A good lyrical song by Tool is Vicarious. It's about TV desensitizes you and makes you crave violence.
You're not wrong, but look deeper than that. If care Bears and hugs got ratings, that's what would be on tv. Media is just a reflection of our selves. WE "crave the violence."
You gotta check out the drum cam video. The absolute most elite performance I've ever seen. It literally puts the dedication TOOL has for the craft of music into perspective. King of drumming
Maynard is the greatest and most talented vocalist on the planet. He’s the vocalist of 3 super successful, globally recognized bands, Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Tool considered within the top 100 bands of all time. He has MANY different styles, sometimes harder and more aggressive, and other times angelic and absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on taking the first step into discovering the music of Maynard James Keenan.
This band is so amazing for chilling with headphones in the dark. It's about as close to meditation I get, vibing to Tool.
Put some tool on for sexy time with someone new to tool at that time...wow . amazing experience..
I'll be real with you, Tool has some songs that can put new listeners off. Harsh guitars and a bunch of weird shit that's best left until you're sure you like the band. This was a good one to ease yourself in. Aenima, Vicarious, Sober, Right In Two, Schism, and Stinkfist are other good ones to start with. I'd avoid their music videos too, you have to do like dmt or acid or some shit or else they're just distracting and weird.
You forgot Invincible
Definitely avoid the videos…
I agree. Don't watch the official videos!! Lol
Lateralus also!
@@stagger9660 Lateralus is not the best song to start. It's too complex.
I love seeing people hear tool for the first time. They’ve been my favorite band for over 20 years, there’s nothing like them. The depth to their lyrics and the hard instrumental perfection. Can’t wait to see them next week at the HardRock 😍🙌🏼
I thank the universe everyday for Tool. I've been a fan since 1993. No other band comes close. I sang Parabol to my daughter Rosalie when she was born. Welcome to the family.
Danny Carey is one of my favorite drummers, even over Brad Wilk. His use of polyrhythms are insane, especially with his feet! OMG! He loves using odd time signatures and his technique is just unique! If you love Brad, you’ll love Danny Carey. I suggest you check out 46&2! One of my favorites! Drums are just sick on this track! Love your reactions on rock, keep up the great work! ✊🏽💪🏽👏🏽
RIP Danny Carey BTW!! and yes the poly's is what thru him off but more he listens he will find the groove
@@endlessdecay2930 Whaddaya mean RIP Danny Carey? The man is still alive.
@@endlessdecay2930 Woah! What do you mean “RIP”? He’s not dead!
@@robertflores8234 dont mind me im dumb wrong drummer had a few sorry yall :(((
@@endlessdecay2930 It’s all good. lol I scrambled to the internet real quick.
There are so many great Tool songs, and some really weird stuff. I recommend H., Forty Six and Two, The Grudge, Schism, Stinkfist, and Lateralus as a start.
Also Parabol/Parabola
Eulogy is a great one too
TOOL songs get better the more you listen to them. There's so much going on, you catch something new every time you listen to it.
When you listen to tool it's important that you have either good headphones or awesome sound system that allows you to distinguish the different sounds as they can tend to blend together on basic ass speakers because the instruments are extremely extravagant. As a drummer myself, Danny Carey of Tool is my favorite drummer, and Maynard James Keenan is an awesome vocalist and writer.
Tool is my favorite band bro, can’t go wrong with what you pick, I was stoked to see this. They are famous for playing odd and different times together.
The lead Maynard, is also singer in two other groups, puscifer and A perfect circle. Check them out, they’re both different.
and amazing in their own way.. info is there if you have the ears to hear...be warned or rewarded .. perception . choice. long live MJK
I really do love when a song strikes deep with your intellect and you can just see it on your face.
You’re gonna LOVE Tool.
The phrase of the "pot calling the kettle black " is what the song is referring to. Its basically talking about how fucked up the government is in our society today. And about how the judges and jurors should take a look at themselves before making a decision on another person's life! Love your content brother
That's exactly how I feel after listening to a Tool song for the first time. Only after listening to it 3 or 4 times over the course of a week or so can I really grasp the complex rhythms.
And from then on listening to the song creates an overwhelming and almost unparalleled joy inside of me.
if you liked Maynard's voice on this song, HIGHLY recommend listening to Sober (live at Reading festival). its such an amazing performance.
I concur.
yes
I feel like the onsie, hairstyle, and dance moves throw some people off lol!
The singer Maynard is on a Rage Against the Machine song "Know Your Enemy". Go back and listen to that song now. I bet you can pick him out easily.
The beauty of Tool... it's not just the time but the changing times. Sometimes you're right on the beat but then it shifts and it keeps your ear listening.
You have just experienced the greatest band ever. It only gets better from here. They do not have a bad song.
Headphones are a must for Tool.
Finaly!!! I dont know how quick to check this reaction out! Best drummer ever!!
Danny Carey "Pnuema" live will give you a good idea of how great these musicians are!
What a magical experience to watch someone slowly click and lock in with the whole Tool vibe.
Man I’m so happy you’re reacting to Tool right now. One of the greatest bands to ever do it.
Edit: Their music videos are off the fucking chain.
Definitely check out pneuma drum cam live video. Danny Carey won a Grammy for this drum performance. It'll blow your mind bro!!
Tool Fans get to relive their first experiences through you guys. It's great!
So there is always multiple rhythms in tool songs. You can have three people bobbing their heads to tool all differently and all be right lol. That’s what makes it timeless. Every time I blast this in the car it’s like a new song. Tool is a bangerrrrr
I would love to make a list of TOOL songs for you to hear. Been a massive fan since 92 but...
Pneuma live Danny Carey drum cam.
I promise he's the best drummer you've ever seen play.
I second this. You’ll get dizzy.
Since 92 you say? Nipple rings, new tattoos? :)
@@AdrianvanNunen probably a dope Beasty tee as well
Dope reaction man. Love this damn song. TOOL - AEnima is a great song also. Would be awesome to see you react to that one
Thanks for the content man, really dope seeing you branch out a lil bit. Keep up the good work
Welcome to Tool! This is definitely the best introductory song to start listening to this band.
I totally understand that you need to learn in a way how to get a feel for much more complex music than the stuff produced for the masses, but feeding your brain with increasing compositional technical complexity switches on a lightbulb inside you and you gain a new ear and appreciation for music you never knew existed. It's like venturing out and visiting art museums for the first time when you've only really been exposed to art in school classrooms. A whole new world of awe-inspiring creative masterpieces throughout history awaits you.
Enjoy the ride, and spiral out! You'll come to understand that reference sooner or later 😁
Can't wait to watch your Tool journey.
Always room for one more in the Tool army. Welcome aboard.
This guitarist and Tom morello are high school buddies and are both genius
I didn't know that!
They were roommates if I recall correctly.
@@FergusScotchman Crazy to think Tool probably wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Tom/Rage. I love the history of both bands. I also think neither Adam nor Tom really knew how to play guitar but both ended up teaching themselves
@@natemartinez2745 Yeah, i had totally no idea of that ... but they both Tom is a super creative guitarist, so maybe they all rubbed off on each other..... Those are like three of the most innovative rock musicians out there.
@@natemartinez2745 Thats interesting you say that. I played trumpet for a couple years in Elem school, but wasn't that good. My son took piano lessons for a couple years when he was probably in 4th grade or so. He had a great ear, but not the discipline.
He just started college. Right around the time he started high school, I took him to Little Rock to see Metallica. And a couple years ago he wanted a guitar, like all boys, so got him the $130 starter guitar and amp package. We got him a handful of rock lessons. Hell if this kid started figuring out how to play and was getting better fast. Now he's got an expensive guitar that he worked for and bought, and that sucker can shred any Metallica song, and even made up his own melody. I saw Metallica in 1988 and had a Tshirt that shrunk, so I kept it all this time. I gave it to him. It's been the coolest thing.
Never thought I’d see you on a tool song 😂😂 I know it’s probably the most reacted to video they have but please check out the live version of sober , even if you don’t put it on your channel , you need that in your life it’s crazy good
Dont do live Sober. So many better songs, performances
Tool is the kind of music that you love more you listen to it. If you want to hear some of their truly impactful music… the patient… parabol/parabola… you won’t regret delving into their catalog…
Tool is unlike any other band ever. There's no doubting that. Some people love it, some hate it and either is fine. I like seeing people hear them for the first time
Definitely keep hitting up TOOL, but I'm still waiting for ya to hit DEFTONES!
Deftones - Passenger. Get Maynard with Deftones.
Yes!
My two favorites of all time.
Deftones are soooo boss! Urania off Ohms is f-ing amazing!!
@@markshaffer6447 I haven't heard that one yet
You can just see you absorbing the energy from all the classic bands I grew up listening to. Your RAGE reactions are the best! Keep absorbing!
It's about hypocrisy, using the expression "the pot calling the kettle black."
I think this dudes low key a musician. Prob a drummer. No?
25 years a fan. Listen with your heart and your mind. Hearing this live was a moving experience
The band lays down tracks and gives them to Maynard to put his lyrics to, it's a unique creative method and is why sometimes Maynard voice and choice of lyrics seems to wrap around the music in strange ways
The live show, if there ever is another one, is indeed lit. The singer’s other band, A Perfect Circle, is also fire 🔥
Just got my tickets!! Coming to Philly in February.
Good for you for broadening your musical experience. I hope you continue to explore more by Tool. They will seriously blow your mind.
I love this. I wish I remembered the first time I listened to Tool. It’s been at least 21 years! I relate more and more to the lyrics as I grow older & become more spiritual. Tool speaks to the soul.
So true.
So excited to see someone else discovering Tool. Also, it’s not just you, Tool’s timing and use of rhythm is unique and quite different from most rock. You should dive into Lateralus or The Grudge next.
And I’ve seen it elsewhere in the comments, but you’ll be doing yourself a service if you wear headphones while listening.
That moment when you realized, “Oh that wasn’t the end?” Priceless.
And the more you listen to it and you still continue to find new sparks of genius everywhere. What a majestic song 🌀
Bon voyage 🚀
Tool is a different breed. Lots of ties to Rage but different music for sure. Please check out Pneuma and Aenema. Insane vocals and drumwork.
Fun fact: Adam taught a lot of his techniques to Tom
Tool has songs that are well over 10 minutes long. All of them are amazing and display incredible musicianship.
It’s why it takes years to make an album while all the hacks dump 3 albums worth of shit every two months.
lol when the ad comes on after: "You wanna hear something amazing?"
Bruh: "Naw fam. I just heard it."
Worth a subscription, real as hell. Like a lot of people say to new listeners some Tool songs can be off putting, Vicarious is a great one to check out if you're newer to Tool. Always try to check a lyrics video whenever possible as their official videos are pretty distracting. But as always just do you and keep it going!
Youre spot on, they use different time signatures and experiment with polyrhythms. The more you listen, the more you'll catch it.
Dude! You dont know danny carey yet!! Check out pneuma live!! Dont look at the time of the song just let it ride it might be your longest reaction but totaly worth it trust me! Best drummer ever!
They are brilliant in many, many ways! Along a few others one of the most unique bands in these past years... even one of the most unique ever tbh!
The lead singer has another band named a perfect circle honestly idk who's better tool for me cause I try to learn the pot on the bass cause I love the sound of the bass
They play with timing a ton. The 4/4 and 3/4 timing that exists in almost all popular music for the last century, is only one way of doing things. Jazz has a lot more examples of playing with timing.
For sure some tool songs you’ll come across will have multiple timings going together which creates this uncomfortable comfort that coalesces into magic
Not just Jazz. There's a whole universe of progressive rock and progressive metal that use amazing time signatures.
Dudes real fucking good
Try “Passenger” by Deftones
"..I would like to know who's singin'"
Let me introduce...Maynard
😎
The randomness of Tool is their thing. Your reaction was awesome. Subbed.
LOVED YOUR VIDEO!
The cool thing about Tool is it gets better with every listen. It always takes me at least 3 listens of an album before I get into it fully
The reason you probably didn't catch on with the rhythm early on isn't just because you don't listen to this genre often, but also because Tool is notorious for using very odd time signatures that other artists stray away from. I'm just glad someone suggested you listen to this and converted you to a fan!
I really enjoyed this video, Tool is an incredible group. Maynard is an incredible singer. I'm really glad you enjoyed this!
I love the way you listen, pause, process, then comment. That's very complimentary to the artists you're listening to.
Tool is definitely something you have to kind of, adjust to. They use a lot of time changes in the music, but if you really dig in you will find a sweet ass rhythm in damn near every song. Their drummer is my favorite of all time, and the singer is awesome as well.
Danny Carey is my favorite drummer of all time. His skill is almost unparalleled.
