Maynard uses bad posture to mellow his awesomeness. If he used proper posture, the first couple dozen rows of the audience would’ve died.
Internet winning comment
That was only ten percent of his total power
It's clearly a safety issue.
Science
🤣🤣
"It really felt like the bottom of a human soul."
Possibly the most accurate description of Tool I've ever seen.
This made me tear up a little.
Because of how scary right she is. It hurts knowing that a trained vocalist can put something so abstract into terrifying clarity. Much like the neanderthal screaming at the sky crying...It is all so lonely...Maynard touches something scary when he performs.
that was a sucker punch to the feels
They have the same appeal as Layne Staley in Alice, and Mad Season, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, and not to get weird but Johnny Cash these men know how to get to the bottom of the human soul. I feel like these guys CANT live to be old men John should have died younger but I hope Tool is around much longer. I hope....
Just positive proof that too much despair kills. It attacks everyone. All are engaged in battle. Some overcome it; others don't. But everyone gets mauled in their one on one struggle with it. It's just a function of being alive. So it goes.

"Powerful. It felt like ...the bottom of a human soul."
How is a first-time impression of a Tool song 25 years after the fact the absolute best description I've ever heard of it?
You nailed it on that one.
I know exactly what you mean!! This song always had a feeling, but she put the words in my brain. 100% spot on analysis haha
I really hate it when people compare Maynard James Keenan to God. I mean he's alright and all, but he's no Maynard James Keenan.
LMAO
Not to mention Maynard James Keenan actually exists and makes people's lives better every single day.
ha! best comment🤘
I see what you did there
Thanks A-hole... Now I have to change my piss pants...LOL
Vocal coach sets out to analyze Maynard's vocal technique, instead gets blown away by the emotion and expressiveness
@bigevilworldwide1 yes eons to conditions of my parole
@@stirfry741 dont forget cuntry boner ;)
This is actual art and talent.
Ayeeeee
Horus Grumpygills,
One of the best boner songs, ever.
Yeah, but these are vocal coaches, not emotion coaches, why do you expect emotion analysis from them?
Watching youtubers become fans of Tool is my new favorite hobby.
Right?! This is so wonderful. People neeeeeeed to know Maynard
It's about time!
Tool is the Velvet Underground for a generation 30 years from now
It's pretty good, right?
Tool is the greatest band of all time I grew up listening to these guys.
"Feels like someone's wilting away." That pretty much sums up 90s rock/metal era and I love it
Well tool's older work was heavily influenced from grunge.
Nice
Still applies today
Yeah, Sober conveys So much pain. Anyone who's had a brush with addiction can relate to it. When she described it as Harrowing she was spot on.
Damn he sounds exactly the same live as he does on album! Thats so rare in vocalists!
because before auto-tune singers actually had to be good.....
@@yurimodin7333 it's not just "AuToTuNe BaD" it's also that recording booths have different acoustics than stages which changes everything having to do with sound.
@@Raziel7861 Nah...it's mostly pitch correction and autotune. I'm a vocalist myself and I sound the same live as on recording regardless of where it was recorded, and it's because I refuse to have the engineer put any of that garbage on my voice.
@@L33PL4Y well look at you Mr fancy pants
@@MZhris just saying I know from experience
"...I don't know what to say. It sounded like the bottom of a human soul."
Mission accomplished.
This is Tool's sound in a nutshell. Beth nailed it!
@@deusexrockina Yup!
@@deusexrockina I would love for her to react to one of their more recent songs that highlights their evolution into a very uplifting and optimistic style. 'Reflection' is probably the best example. I would love to see her reflect on 'reflection'. ;)
@@niginit how about a whole album.
Rock has become so underappreciated in these newer generations. But when they hear it like she is, hopefully they can appreciate its former popularity for more than just its ostensible, superficial appeal.
Watching people fall in love with Tool in 2019 makes me feel so proud
I agree wholeheartedly. Such a great thing to bear witness to!
Proud? Do you always take pride in things you had nothing to do with?
john Stetson Nice! 27 times is awesome! I have seen Tool live 13 times. Number 14 will be at Aftershock this year.
I feel way too happy when this happens. I was in High School and an aquaintence was practically preaching them as awesome as he lent me CDs. And.. he was 1000% right.
Of what?
Tool has been a priceless tool in my struggle against depression and existential terror.
same
and aic
Ilya K. Me too! Tool saved me!
That's why they named the band TOOL. Because the music is a tool for them to express themselves and deal with their emotions and hardships.
Stick in there. I have severe depression and high anxiety. I’ve been listening to Tool a lot and it’s helping. Reach out to people. Stay focused and you can get through it.
Funny how every vocal coach has a reaction to tools sober since Beth Roars did this one.
This is my new favorite format. Watching middle aged women vocal coaches loose their fucking mind and realize they know nothing... :)
@@MathewunnamedWeymouthmiddle aged shes in her 20s? Lol wtf
"Is not just him, it's the whole band..."
You're goddamn right!
Your comment earns the Epic reward from me because I was reading it for the first time as she was saying it... this instance will never happen again...
@@KazzArie you obviously haven't tried very hard to find any of the plethora of amazing "rock" bands putting out great music today. I get that Tool is awesome af and you're nostalgic or whatever, but there are millions of artists out there doing their thing and creating their art right now and they don't deserve to be dismissed so callously.
Austin Parker aware me broo. I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Early 2000s most music was less than stellar. Got on an edm kick and that’s about it. Now I find myself listening to 80s-90s stuff from when I was growin up.
KazzArie - you have a point about Green Day, but what does hip hop have to do with this? It’s a different genre entirely, with zillions of different styles, some of them good, some are not so good.
I guess you can say....music is subjective and can be good OR bad depending on your personal opinion
Eric E. E. You’re right about that n it seems the older we get all the current music sucks. I’m proving my own point kek
...I’m getting older and think all the new music sucks. What do your parents think of music today vs 20-30 years ago?
Watching someone discover Tool for the first time was a real treat. Thank you
This was also myself discovering them for the first time. Of course I've heard of them before but this is the first time I've ever listened and I'm blown away. Any songs you can recommend? I reckon I'm gonna go listen to as many as I can anyway haha but a few good places to start would be greatly appreciated :)
That's exactly why I was touched by this video. I've been there, I remember it well. This loooooong break between albums is getting me down about Tool and this video is what a guy needed.
@@Anonymous.android Lots of good songs to choose from. 46+2, Eulogy, Lateralus, The Grudge, Jambi, Parabola...and many, many more. Enjoy!
@@seanphelan5510 thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll start with those and see where I end up :) cheers!!
@@Anonymous.android How's it goin, over there?
Tool! Surely one of the greatest bands ever. And Maynard, well he's in a league of his own...
The way he pours his whole soul into this performance. Fucking amazing
I love how this innocent looking girl fell in love with TOOL in 3 mins lol
She was really jamming!! Haha
Power
To true. fantastic band love there music to bits
Don't U tho...
@The Metalhead im a straight dude but i did too
It's called going full Maynard...
You never come back
Only Maynard goes full Maynard
Elbow deep beyond the border line
You ALWAYS go full Maynard
@@dont.ripfuller6587 right in two
@@dont.ripfuller6587 learn to swim
He makes it sound so sad. It hurts to listen yet its so beautiful.
Wait till she finds out the music is written first and then he write the lyrics to match the feel of the song.
And the fact they used the Fibonacci sequence to write “Lateralus”
Wait really?!? I've been a fan for 8 years and I never knew that!!! Amazing!
That is most likely in metal. Music first before the lyrics.
that's actually pretty normal. lots of bands do it that way and is the norm. what's strange is when it's done reversed like in the case of Elton John.
@@7xXSE7ENXx7 yeah, elton john has a writer but he composes the music.
What an amazing experience to being able to view a person's 1st exposure to TOOL.
isn't it just! and for them to "get it" was a joy!
Mine was Schism, and as a bassist, I had an eargasm
@@lemankurtz8950 Don't know what you're talking about Lateralus is just absolutely brilliant from start to finish and deserves its place in history alongside works like Dark Side of the Moon, and 10000 Days is pretty damn good too.
@@BigUriel Bullshit. Lateralus is a Carbon Copy of the same mood and feel that they had developed on Aenima. Aenima was innovative and so new....but really undertow was the most raw album.....they really captured something on those 2 albums. Lat was just more Aenima.....they haven't significantly changed or progressed their style in 20 yrs. No....Aenima was their peak. Won't even mention 10000.
Excuse me......"10,000" not 100,000 but who cares. It sucked anyway......
another Tool fan is born...
Not just one but many for we are lesion.
Yes I love tool
She digs it
@@DaArmoredBear legion
Another one headed towards 46 + 2 haha 🙂
Maynard is easily a top 5 rock vocalist of all time. He's a weird ass dude, but the man can sing rock among the best of them.
You can't have genius without oddity. They're genius precisely because they're not like everyone else.
Besides, he's the cool kind of weird that sings with a weird, alien posture and does a review of a book that doesn't exist, rather than the creepy kind of weird that makes you disinterested.
Have you ever tried DMT?
@@nenabetashun the fact he went on joe rogan's podcast, dropped the bomb that the new tool album was about to come out after more than a decade then spent the whole interview talking about his vineyard like nothing happened just highlights what a fucking baller he is.
He's not weird. He's an intelligent human being lol I guess you don't understand that
"People are gonna hate I said that" LOL!
If this is your first exposure to Tool, welcome to an incredible band and know you have only clipped the tip of the iceberg which is Tool. Enjoy the journey, I only wish I could take it again for the first time.
One of the greatest bands of all time.
Soon enough all of us will get on that journey when they release their new album after millenia of hiatus :P
Yeah, she is in for one hall of a ride! :)
So true
He's just gotten better and better.
When you compared them to Muse and then said people would hate you for that...it's like you already know Tools fanbase!
I'm a tool fan and yep most of em are assholes lol. I like muse, fair comparison
@@BrokenGoods I had both of them on the same playlist xD Hysteria is a rocking song.
I liked Muse up until their last couple albums. Getting too poppy for my tastes, but they're absolutely amazing musicians with tons of talent. Saw them a few years back and was disappointed he didn't go nuts on the guitar. Standard setlist. Nothing fancy. I know he can shred, so I was looking forward to it. Still a good show, but was hoping for more.
Yeah, really hit the nail on the head. I could literally hear the Tool fans crawling out of the wood work when she said as much
Muse was inspired by this song, guaranteed. I hear Tool in muse not muse in Tool.
Just found out today my son Tomas requested this song. I subscribed after this video. It was an amazing goosebumps causing bit of synchronicity. Thanks Tomas!
Wow!
mr. tony, your son has great taste in music, i'm happy you're allowing that.
And we see Tool Friday in Calgary!
7:30 when she bites her lip and kinda almost headbangs. 😍 It looked compulsive, like she couldn't help herself. Just adorable. For real though, if that part of the song doesn't move you in some way, you might be dead.
Tool are one of the greatest bands ever. musicianship that's off the scale and Maynard's vocals never fail to astonish. I'd recommend Wings for Marie parts 1 & 2 to experience the power and quality of his voice.
Winds Of Marie are amazing also cause they have a guest appearance by Lustmord doing the storm sound effects :D Very different artist from a very different (dark ambient) kind of music, but also legendary among the fans of the genre.
Yes but she needs to know the story to fully appreciate it i think. I remember myself listening to it without paying attention too much and thinking its a good song but when i first found out about his mum and all her years of being paralyzed but holding faith before she then passed away after around 10.000days and i listened to it again i fucking cried like a baby :(
Your not kidding my friend Tool is the greatest band ever in my book.
Yeah, I really hope you read this.... but.... Maynard is amazing, his dynamics are epic. You must review A Perfect Circles “Judith” followed by “10,000 Days” and “Wings For Marie” by Tool. In that order. You want powerful? How about the process of coping with losing your mother both to a stroke and to religion.... mind blowing and heart wrenching.
Right in two
One of the big reasons Tool's sound works for them, is that MJK usually sings in A while the guitars are tuned to D. They interweave through keys perfectly. Oh and obviously, they have the best drummer in the world
Mark Portnoy says hi! Correct on everything else you said though! ;)
Lol, did you happen to mean MIKE Portnoy, of Dream Theater perhaps? Doesn't hold a candle, not even in the same room, as Danny Carey. NOT saying Portnoy is a bad drummer, but to put him in the same league as Carey just isn't correct. There isn't a contest. Gavin Harrison, as far as modern "rock" drummers go, maybe, but otherwise... nah. Danny is one of a kind.
@@adamkoyn792 '70's-80's Neil Peart says 'Hi'.
Lars ulrich says hi... just joking :P
@@adamkoyn792 Yeah, I mistyped and stop fanboying. There's a lot of good stuff where Tool are concerned but never have I ever seen someone so deep in their fanboying that they've tried to claim Danny Carey is the best drummer in the world. Ask anyone in the industry, Portnoy or Carey and you're getting Portnoy. Straight facts.
I always love watching someone discovering TooL for the first time... it’s pure art
“Harrowing” is a perfect word to describe Tool.
07:33 - Lady - You got the hair, you headbang if you want to. Welcome to Tool.
I love how she realises, self-consciously looks at the camera, tries to stop but her hands come up in a sort of subconscious attempt to get that need to mosh out. Don't resist the mosh!
She holding the headbang is the best part lol
I fell in love on that part.
smash your head against the screen while listening to it and mosh the shit out of it
exactly the comment i was looking for, welcome to tool
I am a 51 year old dude. I can tell you, TOOL RULES! Listened to them while I was in the USMC. You simply CANNOT fake their level of realism. They live and feel every goddamn note they play. Amazing.
Chris Canis SEMPER FI Brother. Retired 1stSgt here. 1990-2011. I was in Okinawa when I 1st heard TOOL
From this US Army combat vet, thank you for your service brother....
Something else in common with the Marines besides how they take their coffee. Nice.
When you watch somebody have the exact same emotions as you did 25 years ago. Imagine discovering Tool in 2019 and realizing there's all that back catalog!
I watched this just to live vicariously through someone experiencing Tool for the first time. Thank you
I see what you did there.
How four guys with such talent ended up together in the one band is truly mind-blowing. Tool, you rule.
And not break up, either!
@@Theomite and keep a massive fanbase hanging for that new album.
Come on already!!!
We don't deserve them. Let's be honest.
@JezBollah 667 same.
Opiate was cool - good for a quick blast. Good point about Chancellor, too. He really did tie it all together for Ænima and beyond.
I've heard that that's the reason they didn't break up years ago. They knew how unique, special, and magical the music they create is.
7:25. As a life-long Tool fan. Watching this sequence, of someone experiencing Tool for the first time, legit brought tears to my eyes. Powerful stuff.
Me too
Ok so it's not just me
Same it's amazin and sad somehow
Months later and yes. Saw this video at work and had a o be careful to not sniff too loud. Did not expect to tear up when she said that about so much emotion in his style
every time. it’s like a climax and emotional breakdown simultaneously.
Maynard is singing and performing in his natural vocal range very well. Which is tenor. Amazing performance up front by him despite his preference to perform in the back.
I had the privilege of having his father as my science teacher in H.S.
I dont know Maynard well. But have had the opportunity to talk with him on a couple of occasion growing up.
A talented vocalist. Even cooler person.
Very down to earth.
Thank you for sharing
you lucky duck
Hi,
Does that mean that you are a western Michigander?
I have heard Maynard grew up here but I never confirmed it
Hi Yea he's lived in Grand Rapids in his teens late 20 s. First band CAD.
@@Bsliggs yes he spent high school and college years in Michigan. He was born in Ravenna though. Thanks to Ohio for breeding someone so great.
"Harrowing" is the perfect adjective to describe Mayard's singing in this performance, for sure. Throwback to olden days as well, great reaction!
I clicked on this because of tool, but I see the love of music in your reaction. This song gets me deep in my soul and it looks like it got you too lol. Great analysis too, for the first time discovering tool you seem to get what they were all about.
but something i dont understand... someone is working in the music business and never heared something from tool... the most important and influence band the last 20-25 years... thats really incredible for me...
@@seelenwinter6662 I lived in Whistler for many years now and when I found out Tool was playing in Vancouver, I asked a bunch of friends if anyone wanted to go. Almost none of my friends from UK, Ireland, Scotland area knew who they were. A few that had lived in Canada a long time did, but most didn't. Check the album chart positions. Until 10 000 days, Only USA, Canada and Australia really knew them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_discography
@@seelenwinter6662 " the most important and influence band the last 20-25 years" - lol no...great band (I've been a fan since 93...seen them twice) but not really all that influential (which newer well known bands did they influence?..i can't think of one...maybe Muse, like she said lol).
Their contemporaries like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were MUCH more influential. Still, awesome band.
@@DeathToTheDictators The influence is certainly not as notable as the two bands' you've listed and is more subtle, but it's there. Tool's early works had a notable influence over a number of alternative metal bands in the mid-90s (I mean you can clearly see it in e.g. Jonathan Davis of Korn, as well as a number of other acts of the time), and their musical origins and sensibilities helped shape the genre known as post-metal (although Melvins were arguably more influential in this regard, seeing as they were an oft-cited influence on Tool themselves) and popularize complex rhythmic structures way before math rock was recognized as its own genre. So, while it's a bit hard to name a band that sounds just like Tool (given Maynard's lyrical and vocal expertise and the rest of the band's musical technique, being similar is not exactly easy to begin with), it's possible to name several genres that enjoyed mainstream popularity and an influx of performers not long after Tool started dabbling in them. This is not unlike the "shadow influence" e.g. Throbbing Gristle and the projects of its founding members (most notably Psychic TV and Coil) exerted over a wide range of genres, with no single band to be named as a direct influence but overall serving as some of the main pioneers of new sound and techniques that would later spread across hundreds and thousands of separate performers.
Your look towards music is so sharp and carefull that you actually get to the essence of the song on a first hear. That for me is impressive. On the end you said "it really felt like the bottom of a human soul"; but to actually feel that you need to open up and let the song get into your soul. It means you have done it, and watching it happen to someone is beautiful.
💛
This hits in 4 separate parts for me. The first chorus is plaintive, almost begging. The second is angry, lashing out at the addiction. Then you have the softer interlude...reaching desperation before exploding with anger again. Then the end of the song feels like accepting what is...and that it's your own fault.
Very well said.
Tool are world-renowned for their bad posture.
It’s definitely a part of the charm. Very... animalistic.
Mouse Shadow LOL
When wearing a one peice long john jumpsuit shorts outfit an individual kind of inherits such posture when donning that garment...
and disco-0ordination
@@beardoggin8963 Im def gonna rock that mohawk one day soon!
I laughed at they’re releasing albums up until now. Then I cried a bit
Same.
Lol true
This april is looking good
Saaaaameee
Great reply.. ditto
Maynard belted out that A4 like it was nothing.
"Mother Mary!"
What a legend 🙌💯✌️
I've been listening to Tool since my adolescence, they're my favourite band by far and a huge part of my life. Watching you listen to this for the first time gave me a chance to listen to it with new ears again. Thank you!
It's like he's not singing the song but it's being channeled through him.
Extremely accurate
7:33, she becomes a tool fan. You can actually see it happen.
Thats legit lol
7.23 There is a sort of lip bite. There is a struggle coming to terms with her new religion. Struggle lasts 10 seconds.
Just wait until she experiences them live. There's no coming back to the old reality. Reverend Maynard now controls everything.
Yep, I think she pee'd a little
That was an epic moment
I want to see Maynard's first time watching Roars' first time watching Tool.
💛
Picking up on Muse was astute, in my opinion. Muse has a cinematic style (Stockholm Syndrome immediately comes to mind), and Tool has this same characteristic in some of their work. I have listened to Tool for many years, and it's great to see a new generation appreciating the standout bands that originally formed decades ago. I truly believe that's why today's sound hasn't changed much because we've already reached the pinnacle of this genre because of and thanks to bands like Tool.
His posture is Muse derivative.
If you listen to the recorded version of Sober and many of their other songs, you will notice one thing. When the tracks are mixed, his voice is at the same level as the instruments. They are treating his voice as just another instrument.
I believe it’s important for any singer to treat their voice as an instrument x
?
That's bullshit man....haha just fuckin with you maynard and tool are the 🐐🐐🐐🐐 greatest of all time...no questions the best
The instruments are all at the same level?! LOL But other than that I agree completely.
Why would vocals not be mixed at the same level, outside of contextual moments?
Listening to TOOL is a spiritual experience. You don't just hear a TOOL song you feel it as well.. She did a good job explaining it.
THIS.
You don't just hear and listen, it resonates in your very heart and soul.
Especially of you can relate to their music (which is very much a matter of perception and interpretation) based on your individual experiences.
That is what makes tool great - they can speak across genres, styles, and cultural boundaries.
Even though I hate that their albums typically have a 10(ish year gap), they never disappoint me. That said, I still prefer their older music opposed to the newer stuff, but that does not mean their newer stuff does not speak to me on an emotional or spiritual level
How to tell a real Tool fan. We don't "listen" to it, we "experience" it.
Never liked rock when I was younger always grew up on Texas rap.. im 32 now and TOOL is the only rock band I listen too💯... my fav track Lateralus... I feel that spirituality in that track!
Yet she listens to a shite live recording.
Same with lots of other music. For me, it's Metallica #1, but there's much more.
"A monologue from trainspotting". Perfect.
Came for the reaction, left with a crush.
So did she
been there.
First video I've ever seen of yours, but long time Tool fan. Your thoughts, feelings, and analysis of this track are perfect. Great job.
absolutely. I think she should listen to 10 000 days now. :^V
@@maluorno I think 10,000 Days (song) might be too long for something like this, and not much different in terms of lyrical style. I think Maynard has changed over the years but overall stays true to the original Tool sound. On 10,000 Days (album) I think the most dynamic we see of him is in The Pot but its still that same soft to hard to smooth style. We shall see if that changes in the new album (if we ever see it) - but I think if she were to do another it would be better for her to do a contrast in style/technique between say a Tool track vs APOC or Puscifer. That's really where he shows different ability and vocal style.
same here, I subbed..
Totally agree
You truly are a Maynard fan alex. And yes she broke it down great.
I was shocked how well you understood his singing style and lyrics behind it through listening to one song. Tool is a complex beast that I'll never grow tired of.
Haha... you were shocked?
Dude... it’s not complex. U are hilarious
@@freeassange8864 I dont know of the other videos and many people do not understand tools lyrics or his singing style and dont think highly of it. I was under the impression this her first time listening to tool.
@@wickedlee664 Are you under the impression that that everyone likes tool or respects his singing style? Let alone understands the lyrics. Tools timing is more complex than most bands. Especially how the drummer uses odd timing in a lot of the songs and makes it seamless. I'm glad my view is hilarious to you though 🤗 got to find a way to smile in life somehow 😊.
reality unfortunately that's the tale of all big bands. I dont like or worship every song they've made personally. Theres no doubt that fans of huge bands will worship anything they crap out. Metallica fans are probably the worst about it. I havent liked any of their albums passed the early 90's. I've never seen any other videos on this channel. I just liked how she described this song and her understanding and respect for tools style. I hope it's genuine and that shes never heard them before, I didnt catch everything she said. This video just so happen to show up on my feed. The likelyhood that any future videos showing up in my feed is slim and if it did it's a slim chance I would click on it.
I would stop short of calling Tool's music and vocals complex. To me, its almost the opposite and there is something to be said for simplicity. Its not easy to be simple and original. That is what has always impressed me with Tool
Raw emotion. Maynard is spilling his soul out here. look at him. He is absent at the fact that there are thousands in attendance. He is lost in his emotion and is sharing this song, experience, with those who have an ear to hear. This is masterful art beyond basic comprehension. This isn’t music. He’s soul is bleeding through.
It'd be pretty awesome if you could react to Maynard's other band A Perfect Circle. Live versions of "The Outsider" and "3 Libras" are amazing.
"It felt like the bottom of a human soul." Lmao, that's an awesome description.
shit adds up at the bottom, eh?
Bottom, another tool song.
Maynard has always suffered from stage fright. He very rarely looks directly over the crowd. Went to my first tool concert in 98’ Had the pleasure of meeting Danny on a few occasions. He’s a friend of a friend. He showed up at her wedding and played drums to a crowd of 100 or so. A memory I will always have
Lucky man
Must be from KC area? Cheers
@@TheMurray313 Nope. Northern Michigan. The last place you would ever expect to see Danny jamming at a wedding
Of all beings to have stage fright... every video I watch I learn something new about him/them. Fucking amazing.
Love how she keeps starting to just rock out, then remembers she's supposed to be analyzing the song and that she is on camera. Kind of the same thing when I'm listening at work have to remember people can see me.
I love that he steps into character, a role, seeming to forget about the audience. His posture, his focus, his gaze, are all somewhere else.
You want the views do metal music. We love this stuff
Damn right brother
Lol your right but wtf why do I watch this kind of shit
This is true (and the views on her past videos confirm it) but I hope she sticks to her guns and does what she enjoys and doesn't just chase views (too much at least). If she does I'll watch it though.
Yess
he doesn't write the lyrics until the the music is a finished product. he said you cant force lyrics on a song. it just doesn't come out the same way.

Speaking of singing with bad posture, watch what Maynard does when a fan gets up on stage for a hug.

Yep
I love you
It's bizarre the way they try to compartmentalize the emotions of this song. It's not a joke. It is suffering realized. Stop trying to define it so thoroughly. When you grow up In privileged circumstances we don't want to hear your fucking opinion. Fuck you! Don't you think you have put us through enough.
Tool has the effect of a conversion upon new listeners. It's an all or nothing experience that I've still not forgotten, over 20 years later.
Alice in Chains - Love Hate Love (Live at The Moore). Layne Staley's best performance I've seen. Dude was incredible in his prime.
yes, this one
yes please, it's absolutely breathtaking!
Yup, this
Yes
yes dear gods this
Very interesting to see someone oblivious to Tool, coupled with a youthful perspective, provide what I thought was a very professional and accurate analysis.
Charlie P virgins are hard to find nowadays! Jk lol
Yes. Sometimes it takes a total lack of exposure to provide a fresh raw reaction
This performance literally brings tears to my eyes.
I love the energy Maynard puts into his singing, and how you picked up on him using his emotions to convey they song so well.. You'll definitely want to dig Tool's performance of The Grudge from November 16, 2002, in Oklahoma City.. It's absolutely haunting
Tool....is something to experience and cannot necessarily be explained. Fantastic musicians! Incredible mental and emotional journeys.
Great description!!!
Damn skippy ♡♡♡
Easily the best live band ever.
Idk, I think she did a great job explaining it.
I completely agree! TOOL truly is an emotional experience...
This is the cutest rocking out to Tool I've ever seen
She really is so innocent isn't she?
"Like the bottom of a human soul."
That's the most perfectly succinct description one could give for Maynard.
Me crawling out of the vocal coaches analyze TOOL rabbit hole this is such a fascinating journey
Same. All day.
Try "46&2" by Tool
Need to do the "Kids cover 46 and 2" as well: watch?v=mYKLvYGqaC0
I second that
Amazing song
Look up Brass Against. They did The Pot and Lateralus, both are amazing. Beard Of Harmony did a great acoustic cover or Right In Two that was equally amazing.
I would say play the whole Anema album in order from start to end. The songs are great self-contained, but they also play off one another really well.
It's so exciting to see his face. If you've ever seen TOOL... you know that it's a rarity to actually lay eyes on Maynard. He usually sings behind a screened wall, paints himself black or blue, or you just do not see him...at all. The whole hunchback thing is part of his stage presence. They're badass.... plain and simple
Lol yeah, I saw them at rock on the range last year and i just saw a outline of his body in the back.
I saw TOOL at Lallapalooza in 97 and he was basically naked, riding on the shoulders of a giant dude that was wearing a bondage outfit.
@@acw2582 i saw TOOL at lollapalooza 97 also, he came out in a bustier...once upon a time he was a helluva showman! Still is with Puscifer!!!
Even in hiding, TOOL is still one of THE best live shows you'll ever see!
When I saw them all i saw was his back. He faced the drummer the entire concert lol
@@acw2582 yeah I remember going to I think it was the first Lollapalooza and they were playing the side stage so many people left mainstage to go see them
Beth, your face and verbal expressions are so wonderful, I could watch your videos all day long. Love your videos. Keep em coming!
I love seeing ppl react to Maynard and falling in love with Tool. This was me 18 years ago.
I remember buying this cd over 25yrs ago when I was 15. Damn time flies
When they first started and were becoming more 'popular', my friends told me I'd love this group! They were right and it was the beginning of 2000. I was 45. Still rocking out with them to this day!!! My middle son, (28yo now) has caused more than one neighbor to complain about the loud music, after he discovered my music...
Aenima was in the first batch of cds i borrowed from my friends older brother when my dad got the first CD burner any of us had access too...
i mass copied the whole booklet for myself and my buddy, lots of good albums but hearing that was literally life-changing. shits dope
I remember when I was 12 back in ‘93 or ‘94. Whenever the video to Sober got a lot of play on Mtv. Even remember when it was on Liquid Lunch and Beavis & Butthead. Could remember sayin’ “who is Tool, what in the world is that clay figure in the video, & why aren’t they in the video?” Was a different approach from those guys about the music they put out. Heard about these guys back in the early 90’s. Couldn’t afford a tape/cd didn’t have no job back then ha ha ha ha.
@@bawdhed7 Same here. I remember the rise to popularity in the 90s but I mostly remember THE VIDEOS. They were on heavy rotation on MTV and as a 10/11yr old they were really intriguing, and creepy in a very well done way. The videos playing with their music weren't scary, they just... got under my skin. Made me uncomfortable and I didn't know why.
I didn't know anything about the band. I wasn't a fan. At the time NIN, Smashing, Pumpkins, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Pink Floyd were more my thing at the time... but as I got older (past college) I realized all my friends with musical tastes I liked /shared loved Tool and I always thought "Ugh, why do you all love that yelling, bass heavy shit from the 90's? It wasn't that great..."
Finally started listening to them (and their associated groups) again as an adult. Perfection.
I listened to this CD when I was 16 driving alone for the first time in 1994. Still remember thinking I was king of the world. Love this song and the memories it brings back.
Came here because of tool 😁 I loved this! You seemed to really understand what Maynard wants to portray, wonderful watching 😊 subscribed!
Her first mistake was that she assumed Maynard was a man and not a god!
Saw Tool last night so naturally, I'm in the rabbit hole of Tool videos on youtube the following day. Great video and now I'm a Beth Roars fan...subscribed!
I love this video, i love watching someone who has never heard Tool before (and a vocal coach no less) describe Maynard in a way that is so exactly perfect
I can't believe it's 2019 and I"m watching someone experience Tool for the first time.
It was 2014, in a uni dorm in India, couple of boys smokin some pot, one of them puts on 'right in two'.
My life hasnt been the same ever since. :)
"...Pretty much been releasing albums up until now."
Hahahaha
Haha
Heh...
About that...
Martijn Kemperman LMFAO, well supposedly a few months now 🤔
@@BBond88 want action on that? I'll take the over lemme know
Sure she was joking 🤣
What’s it been now, 12 years or so?
Man we have been waiting a long time. But the waits are always worth it.
i love watching vocal coaches rect to maynard, always speak of his posture and "dancing" as well as how easy it is to hit those highhhh notes
Wow! I love seeing you listen for the first time. I can't stop smiling. Thank you. Keep listening to them. They are one of those timeless artists like Debussy and Mozart.
I love watching her mind being blown by the fkn GENIUS that is Maynard James Keenan. He is my everything🖤
Couldn't agree more, ya could see the meaning of the words challenging her mind to make since of the emotion and harmony of one of Tools songs. Would love to see how she reacts to a whole album.
@Steven Bee Why aren't you?
@@82pythons85 you can absolutely use the word genius to describe tool's songwriting. Watch a breakdown of any of their songs, especially one like lateralus.
82 Pythons i don’t misuse the word “genius.” Maynard James Keenan is beyond anyone or anything in the creative world. I think you’re just either jealous of his (yes, obvious) talents or you have no idea who MJK is.
Kitty Meow lol 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
'They've been releasing albums up til now'. Ah, yeah, only been waiting 12 years for the 5th one :P
Love Tool though, and I'd rather wait than have something that didn't have the soul their music usually does.
E: wrote that before watching the rest. This is a really good interpretation of the band. While individually they are all fantastic musicians, together they understand exactly how to deliver something much greater. Maynard has an incredible voice which appears to come so easily, but more than that is the passion and emotion that you feel coming from them all. Glad you enjoyed it, they are definitely worth checking out if you feel like hearing more.
A big part of Why Tool was absent so long is cause Maynard formed A Perfect Circle and worked on that for years. It's a more Christian Rock sound but Maynard still brings the emotional intensity. It was how he was dealing with the loss of his mother and brother.
Chris Bennett APC is definitely not Christian rock. Even the sound is not similar.
@diabolic I didn't say it was I said it sounded more like Christian Rock. Learn to read tool.
There hasn't been tool stuff for ages because of contract issues with the record label. Maynard formed Puscifer as a solo project and has toured that (also amazing, check out the conditions of my parole album especially), APC had as big of a hiatus as tool, not releasing anything between emotive and the latest album. I can't remember when emotive was released, I think it was 2005 (before 10000 days by tool), and the new album came out last year.
Plus that accent😀
So, pretty much on point for the whole video. Earned a subscriber, and I look forward to more.
Beth, you are amazing. Your insight is great. I feel the same way when I watch him. Maynard is very good at not so much singing, as he is showing his soul. I feel exhausted for him sometimes when I see his soul turn into a prism like that. I can imagine he is utterly spent when he leaves the stage after setting his soul loose like that.
"I love the driving guitars."
Nah, that's Danny Carey. He is every instrument you ever need.
His work with Pigface is possibly my favorite work he's done.
It was very nice of Danny to let Maynard, Adam, amd Justin perform over his album long solo on Fear Inoculom
to write off the bass as driving within this song is just silly
i once saw a tool concert, during which the singer stayed behind a screen and you could only see his outline/shadow. he's special , shall we say... 😉
He did that with APC mid 2000s
that was a perfect circle like around 2003 or 2004
I saw them live in DC at what was usually a Rave club. The entire band was painted half black and half white the entire show. Under the lights you could only see half a human it was crazy. I have backstage and after show passes from Ghost Productions. MJK is so cerebral and the best live show I’ve ever seen and meeting them was nuts. “97” I think
Yeah, every time I've seen Tool, Maynard has been in the dark behind or to the side of the drums. During all the APC shows I've seen he was in the front directly under the lights. Truthfully, I don't know the reasoning why he now stays in the dark with Tool and under the lights with APC and Puscifer. This is only about 10 shows over the last 10 years so IDK what he did before this.
When I saw tool, Maynard came out dressed in black from head to toe. By the middle of the first song, he was in a black speedo and nothing else.
I feel like a first time listener would imagine a singer who appeared more focused on a great vocal performance. ...then you add in such great physical performance and passion!
I watched a few people review vocals, I am extremely impressed with your channel 👍keep up the good work
I've never had the pleasure of watching someone become a Tool fan. Very cool.
I love the evolution of reaction videos. These type of analyses by people with a deeper understanding of different aspects of music and whatnot are awesome!
2:50 she felt what we’ve been feeling for decades
Just discovered your channel today Beth, must say it's really interesting and informing as well. I am a veteran of the guitar but much more of a novice when it comes to singing. Super cool that you offer so much free advice, cheers.
