@@jackpfiester5013 I agree. It’s like Adam’s epic riff around 8:07-8:24 on Reflection, which is one his best imo. That one gives me chills too, but it needs the buildup. It couldn’t be a recurring riff either, for the same reason
Agreed. They've waited too long and have basically made themselves irrelevant. At this point, any new material should be considered a reunion album. Also imo their last effort wasn't nearly as good as the bulk of their other material.
This is a cool video to come back to because when I saw this riff, at the time, I had no idea where it would be placed in descending .. man little did I know what this was gonna turn out to be .. sheesh .. goosebumps every time this part comes up in the song :)
Same. I remember this was referred to as the "Descending Riff" before the new album came out. I'll never forget listing to if for the first time waiting to hear when it would show up. It kept building and building. Finally this riff drops, I'm in awe, then the gong hits and all the hair stood up on my neck and I got shivers. It was pure magic.
@@WishIhadAdeathnote I don't think they would. With how much they've talked about putting into this record, I can't imagine they would want most people to hear it for the first time on a UA-cam iPhone video. Maybe they'll put out a single or two of what they plan to play.
@kalle kanin i know a lot of bands do it, but IT'S been almost 13 years, i'd love to be able to sing along to that new song, since its TOOL and i really think we all have waited enough
@@markmeadows7093 Can definitely hear the gnarly pick attack, quite certain Adam doubles the guitar track to make it even more massive live. #Tool #ProgressiveMetal
@@Viktorreznov1942 If the musicians took years to write it, I doubt a random youtube commenter has the ability to fill in the blanks in his head with any level of accuracy within minutes of hearing isolated guitar. Imagining is writing. Let's face it, you simply don't write a tool song.
This solo is amazing and beautiful. I prefer this version over the one in the actual song. For me, it's gets lost in the noise. Please don't throw rocks at me.
The album was well worth the wait. It's a masterpiece, and a transcendent experience. Tool takes me to a beautiful place of existential gratitude for what humanity and artists can achieve.
Time is merely a construct of perception so we could say that we've been waiting since the dawn of creation to hear music this good. To me, it feels like all music was heading here!
Tool's music means a lot to me, it fills every corner of my mind and soul. It's the only band around that does that for me... In sickness, it pulled me out of darkness and helped me deal with pain and anger... I have no expectations on this album, I just want to let it blow my mind away.
Sorry I rate post on UA-cam and never check my notifications. Honestly I was a little let down. The band was not as tight as I’ve seen them before. The vocal melodies for descending were not what I was envisioning. BUT it’s Tool so it was still the best thing I’ve heard this year. Looking forward to August 30!
@@davidgbenke bud, ive spent all week telling my friends I think that version of Decending especially is a completely disjointed version of Jambi and The Grudge, because they knew it would be recorded by cameras. Nothing came out from the next show until Maynard allowed them to. So I think Tool f'd with you on your birthday, brother. Which is so awesome as a memory when the record comes out and you get to tell everyone you heard them play a totally different song just to be a bunch of tools. Happy B Day, bro. Glad you got to see something amazing on it.
First time I've seen this video. To hear it now and to know where it belongs gives me goosebumps. It's such a powerful moment and all that I can do is smile.
My gawd... the power of anticipation! I’m imagining what the lyrics, drums and that thundering bass is gonna sound like added to this undeniable Tool riff! 👊🏽
I am from India n I've never bought any music album in my life.. But trust me I'll run to the music store whenever this new album is released ❤️ I'll buy all the old ones with it too 😅😎
I'm not the oldest tool fan I'm only 17 but people gotta stop hating on fear inoculum, I listened to all of their albums almost nonstop with my dad and I'm telling you man all of their albums are insane, the amount of details in their songs is out of this world and fear inoculum, in terms of musical details, is in second place. First place being 10 000 days. Again it's based on musical details if we talk about melody and smoothness it's fear inoculum, if we talked about 90's style it's undertow, If we talk about masterpieces it's lateralus, If we talk about heaviness and aggressivity it's Ænema And if we talk about the most efforts and dedication it's 10 000 days (Lateralus could be in that category too since maynard busted his voice on ticks and leeches) Each albums has it's thing and that's what I like about tool, anyway musical geniuses of a band and the best albums I've ever listened to and I'd say Lateralus is equal to 2112 by Rush
Frank Lopez I used to think that he did all of that too. While he does a lot of it, Alex Grey does the majority of the album art. Check him out! DMT art. Psychedelic.
The "7" is strong with this one.... Who else hears it? Is it just me? Of course not.... This album will be heard throughout the universe till the end of days as one of the greatest masterpieces to ever have been created... Will have a glass of Judith to his and mine, "JoAnn", my mom, as I give my complete mind & soul over to the 1st time I listen to this album and wish them both well... After that, i'm pretty much complete.
This has to be the best video I've watched this year! Wow! Sounds great and unlike any other TOOL song so far. I'm really interested in what guitar Adam Jones is playing as I'm not used to seeing him playing anything other than his 1970's Les Paul Silverburst.
I would love nothing more than to hear a collaboration of Tool & Meshuggah members some day. The universe would likely implode but I would be ok with that given the circumstances.
Wow. Wowee. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date ToolArchive. This is always my #1 Tool News source. I wonder how old most of the material on the album actually is. The members have been cited as having written music as early as 2012 (lol, early) so I'm curious about the evolution of the material over the years or if most of it got scrapped. I doubt it. Can anyone confirm?
It's been a bumpy road to this album, they're tired with legal stuff, but they've kept on touring through the years... All the recent posts and apparent excitement from the band leads me to think that they can't wait for this to come out... Tool members are fans of Tool as much as we are! I'm predicting both an EP & LP albums! :O
It makes me sad that my dad will never be able to hear this album. He was a big Tool fan. RIP Dad.

Funny hearing it now and cause before i was like i womder what hes naming it
Best song in the album ❤

@@enderswolf I came from the non linear existence and tool are still fundamental element of the continuum.
I coom from muh pants
U pansies I came from the cumming cumstaining cumload cumcyber dimension
New album is not very good...
You were right!!
This riff is so epic it should be a song in itself rather than just a passing outro solo part of another song.
Agreed. When I first heard it I was hoping it was the intro of a new song.
Descending is S tier Tool. The whole tune builds up to this and gives me chills every time. It wouldn't have this impact if it was a recurring riff.
@@jackpfiester5013 I agree. It’s like Adam’s epic riff around 8:07-8:24 on Reflection, which is one his best imo. That one gives me chills too, but it needs the buildup. It couldn’t be a recurring riff either, for the same reason
Not only that but the solo got botched compared yo to what this is
Tool fans are P A T I E N T
(we're) gonna wait it outttt....
Yeah we are but that doesn't mean we like it lol!
Quality takes time
If there were no rewards to reap, we certainly would have walked away by now
And I still may!
Coolest tool riff I've heard in like 13 years
Came back to listen to this after hearing it on the album.
Max Frank Me too. I commented above about it. I was hoping this would be an opening riff to a song. Such an awesome Adam Jonesy riff.
@@puddynuts could you tell me what song it is from the new album?
TB Puzzles It’s at the end of Descending at 10:30 into the song.
This one souns better than in song
@@timpiano2359 Descending

And god dammit if i don't listen to all 700 of tgem

I would do anything to watch Adam and Justin play "lost keys" live. Everything he does is amazing
Anyonee feel like the new tool album is like the Metalocalypse episode where the fate of the world is dependent on one album?
No.
Yes
No
Every damn day
The fate of my future mental health.
I saw Maynard’s tweet like an hour ago saying they were playin new music for the upcoming tour
if they play it without releasing it first its not fair

Yea I dont want to hype up too much yet because I would hate it to be a disappointment, but it's all up to perspective though..

Oh man, so stoked for Halflife 3
Never clicked anything so fast in my life

Haha me too
LoL same.
I can imagine how awesome the drums will sound on these ones
If you could, you'd be replacing Danny already.

@@Ceko Desencion
So glad he shared the evolution of this riff. It’s grown into a beautiful beast.
The fact that he's playing a novelty kind of guitar and those riff still sound huge gives me hope.
It looks like a fernandes travel guitar.
I believe he's playing this fernandes nomad guitar:

Nice sounding guitar and riffs for sure.
@@alexscreeton Yep, here's a testimonial from the man himself: www.fernandesguitars.com/nomad.html
Is that really Adam? I think Adam is married, and this guy had no wedding band. Im probably wrong and stupid.
The album was well worth the wait. It's a masterpiece, and a transcendent experience. Tool takes me to a beautiful place of existential gratitude for what humanity and artists can achieve.
HOLY SHIT! I can’t be the only one who realizes this is like the best shit I’ve heard in a decade and they really are living up to the wait! 😳🤟

Tool to me is the 90's on Pink Floyd but for our gen. I was born in 71 and just missed the age of Floyd. Thanks Mom for your albums growing up!:-)
Tool got me through my illness too. Fuck Lyme listen to Tool.
The ONLY band?You should try Opeth then.

…and it didn’t disappoint. The fast drums during this riff in the song are f’n awesome
One of the best riffs ever created! His solos are pure art! I usually hate solos but his is always melodic.
so looking forward to the album drop and yes patiently waiting
This is “Descending” in it’s final mature form. It’s alive and breathing now.
Jamaar DeBoise nope, not even close. Just Adam riffing... it’s been refined several times, this is just a tangent. You’ll see.
