- Skullz reacts to Sweat by Tool for the first time
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990... due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy....Tool has won four Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

I was fully engulfed in the Seattle grunge scene and saw everything and my buddy gave me a ticket to see Henry Rollins in 1992 downtown Seattle in an all ages club. The opening band was fucking Tool! Their 38th show ever and they blew us away! I bought this EP from Adam Jones and still have it and the ticket stub. It was awesome!
Wow!!!!! Now THAT is fucking awesome there!!! And here I was just thinking about how all of these whippersnappers ( like Skullz here - sorry, Skullz, but I DO give you a pass 😂😂 ) today have just now gotten on the TOOL train, and then I read THIS!!! Now, that is commitment there, and omg how I’d love to have seen them in their early days like you!!!!!
Which club was that? I lived in Seattle in 92.
That's awesome
@@paull1438 It was called DV8 when Tool played and it was the OZ before that..
Gnar!
I've always took this song like the character is an ignorant person becoming conscious of everything around him and realizing he's stuck in a karmic cycle or the samsara. It's the beggining of the hero's journey, where he is completely lost but he knows there's something deeper in all this experience he's living in. There's a good reason why this song is the opening of their discography, Maynard is telling his path, everything is gently set.
Wow! Never thought of it like that but now that think about it, it totally makes sense
Interesting take. I've felt similar but would use the word Primative in place of Ignorant as my personal take had to do with becoming aware of one's potential. So kinda sameish take with subtle differences. Always cool to hear others thoughts.
What’s amazing is that Maynard had a narrative in mind at that time which he was able to carry through their entire discography. A thirty year story is hard to tell. Genius.
I love that they've changed so much through the years. No matter what kind of mood you're in, there's a Tool song for it.
Danny Carry: Six arms, two legs. Octopus. Come on, Tool has taught you how to count by now...
Watched your entire journey multiple times. I've loved Tool 20 years but you've shown me it was all one cohesive story. You're reactions have help me see new things in their music I didn't know I didn't know... Thank YOU very much Skullz.
I thought octopuses had 8 arms and no legs 👀 lol That's just my interpretation but I really see an overall narrative of growth. Just happy you enjoy the videos!
Soooooooooo glad you're doing this. You're gonna be so happy you did, especially after they revisit the title track again with Opiate2.
Which sounded like Greenday
Maynard "This is the last song"
Crowd "Booooo!"
Maynard "Look, we're not Green day, alright? It's not 2 minutes long!"
As much as I was hoping for Fear Inoculum (the title track is by far my favorite on the album), going back to the beginning with Opiate gives you an idea of how far they have evolved over the years. From gritty and raw to refined and incredible production. I'm here for it my man.
🤘👁👁👁🤘
Love that you're going back to their EP before going into Fear Inoculum! Will be a great way to see where they've taken their musically journey from start to (current) finish
That seems to have accidentally worked out perfectly !!
Great job Skullz !
This ep I think will forever be my favorite work from tool. Have the association on playing it while playing pokemon emerald, so it not only has the aggression but a good memory pairing.
For the live tracks, it's hard to tell that they are played live. They are that solid.
Didn’t realize you hadn’t checked out this yet! Nice move to do this before the last album. Your Tool journey has been a privelage to watch!
Most recent... Not last 👍🏻💯😎
You need to do Salival as well.
That opening (verse) riff is so freakin’ thick. It’s been a minute since my last listen to this record. It’s the sonic foundation of their “sound”. So damn different than anything else being released at that time 🤘
I was wondering if you would make us wait for Fear Inoculum. Well played, sir.
Great Ep always expect Great from Tool.
It's hard not to gush over Maynard, but going back after all this time...Tool has always been a Danny Carey vehicle.
I think doing this EP before the next album is a smart idea. There's a particular song on their most recent album that I personally describe as Undertow maturing into an adult. You'll hopefully know which song I mean when you hear it. If you Tool fans don't know which one I mean, we'll, It's Not Unlike You.
I love me some young Maynard /Tool 🎶🤘🏽 music is life 🌀
Btw there were songs that were written for opiate and undertow in 1990-1991 when they released their demo tape “72826” so that’s why the albums are so closely connected in imagery sound and lyrics
To me, I always took the lyrics to reference him being high and remembering or thinking he remembers past lives.
One more - I always find a similar narrative thread with this song and H. Past lives, etc.:
“Seems like I’ve been here before..” (Sweat) / “Recalling all of the times I have died and will die…” (H)
Nice observation 💯
reminds me of 3rd Eye lyrics
I’m here for it 🙋🏻♀️🎶✌🏽
What?!?!? YOU hope they have another album coming?!?!?!? Try being a die-hard fan for around 30 years and THEN you may begin to understand how pumped we were when Fear Inoculum came out, and also how pumped we will be IF they do come out with another!!!!! 😂🤣
So glad you went back for this. Can't wait for you to listen to "Jerk Off" was my favorite song for years back in the 90's.
Yes!!! Been waiting for Opiate!!
Sweat was the first song that I had ever heard from Opiate. It was the song that drew me into the TOOL army...and I never left. Fantastic reaction Skullz!!! Thank you for bringing me back to the beginning...💚🌀💜
The prologue to the epic story.
The pre**m to the full load.
Whoa, dude.
Remember what you just said about primitive needs and, especially, when you said ‘stay alive’.
I’ll be sure to check back after you’ve listened to Descending off Fear Innoculum.
Heard it from Maynard’s mouth at a live performance that, “This is about the time I took a shit load of acid and listened to every existing Joni Mitchell album consecutively”. I’m guessing that what the, “It’s the way you whisper”, is all about. Of course he could have just been trolling us but I know for sure that he is the product of loving things like both Joni Mitchell and Black Sabbath simultaneously.
I heard this song in a movie all through me growing up and never knew who this band was the movie was called Escape From LA amazing movie
That was a good soundtrack!
I did a good job with that one I feel
@@johncarpenter3751 😂🤣👍 shit yeah you did tell Kurt I said hi lmao
Snake Plissken approves.
That era was amazing, I remember going to Rage Against The Machine gig and stumbling on the the support, Tool. Incredible night
not jealous.
My favorite Tool album. It's full of great songs. I love the aggression and speed. It doesn't get better than this.
A lot of the coming tracks end so ferociously, and I always appreciate going back and listening to them, as newer Tool songs tend to be more lengthy productions that often end where they began. This ep has so much power. 🤘🏼
What up Skullz, I liked your STANK face on this track you’re going to need it for the rest of the EP , I ❤️ Paul D’Amour’s bass playing on this,, anyways enjoy my brother, text at you later🤘🏼🔧🤘🏼
The tempo change in undertow is amazing how they all slow at the same time it almost gives you goose bumps
I love Maynards tone on this album.
I’ve been enjoying watching your journey. There’s been times when I wish I could go back and listen to TooL for the first time again. I’d say it’s a strong weighted reason why honest TooL reaction videos, like yours, are so popular. I, for one, enjoy watching people discover Tool, kinda get to re-experience the moment “vicariously” through others. I often get further insight into Tool songs through reactors’ interpretations too, which is humbling. I’ve been listening to Tool since high school (1999) and they have certainly shaped my outlook, and in-look, on life. Being able to play their songs 🎸 I’ve gained further appreciation for their art. I honestly don’t think I’d be the same person without having experienced TooL and Maynard’s lyrics since my youth.
This was a super fun reaction to watch! Both listening to Tool, and the progression of the individual albums themselves, brings about a kind of evolution of thoughts and feelings. In fact, I feel like the Tool discography is a good representation of the process of evolution itself. It begins as compact and aggressive. It gradually becomes more complex. It mutates, loses some traits (like Paul, the original bassist), develops new traits (like, Justin, the new bassist) and continues to adopt new behaviors that allow it to not only survive, but be successful as a continually adapting and increasingly complex organism. Anyway, sorry, this is a long-winded way of saying I SUPER enjoyed watching this, and I was following and rocking right along with what felt like a callback to an experience that was simply exciting and fun.
Not sure where i heard it from, so not sure how accurate this is, lyrics are based on the movie "Altered States" Premise of the movie is "A psycho-physiologist experiments with drugs and a sensory-deprivation tank and has visions he believes are genetic memories."
My favorite song from the EP, which is really good. A raw style and still very unique at that time.
Super excited 😜
Sweet! Opiate is hype!
I remember my first introduction to this band 27 years ago while in the miltary stationed in Korea. My buddy gave me this EP and I put my headphones on and was forever changed. This sound was so unique from anything else at the time (and still) and Paul's bass and Danny's percussive art made me feel emotions that only classical music had done before.
Early Tool...ya gotta love it!
Danny's drums in the middle of the song definitely make you sweat!😊
I know I'm late to this video and these comments.
I am SO EXCITED to see you go back to the beginnings of this band - their roots.
The sound and the emotions are raw. The style is still in development - yet you can clearly hear the building blocks of what is to come.
Hell yeah, maynrad is young and angry in this ep
I'm excited for this.
Here for it!
Here for it 🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction fam 🤟😎
Hooked from day 1 !!
Shout out to DJ Randall, Phoenix AZ !! R.I.P.
Nice! I wasn’t sure if we’d get anything for Toolsday! I need it to get through the day!
Your Journey has been fun to watch. Excited for fear inoculum. Always spiral out
Skullz. In case you still do not know about it. there is a song From tool called "the witness" which actually was written for gibson guitars, kind of advertisement?
Correct me guys if I am wrong, It is a song played by every tool member but Maynard since there is no vocals. It is a good addition before touching "Fear inoculum".
Correct
Also, I would check out Salival before Fear Inoculum as well.
Yesssss
This album is just straight raw heavy metal/alt metal and it’s fucking 🔥🔥🔥 front to back their next song is I believe the only single from this EP and boy is it heavy and angry
Big ups
I've always seen Sweat as like a panic attack he is trying to recognise, observe and think his way out of. I'm probably way off but that's what it's meant to me.
Bloody brilliant so happy you did this always an incredible breakdown love hearing your thoughts thanku so much love an God bless always from Cyprus x
It's the way you whisper. I reckon it should be read "It's the way, you whisper". It's not about how it/they whisper, it's that they are telling you the way.
Don’t get me wrong Nirvana is great and so is grunge but tool did everything to make sure that they stood out from all the other bands in the 90’s, they wanted to push the envelope of what music could be and with that they succeeded, when they use to ask Adam what genre their music was they would ask are you guys grunge are you guys metal, alt metal? And he would respond we are tool lol 🐐🤘🌀
Yep. Best response ever.
That's legendary 🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact. Blink and you will miss it but they play a snippet of this song in the movie escape from LA with Kurt Russell
Cool you're looking at this one. I hope you listen to the original version of "Opiate" rather than the re-recording of that one. The original is so much better. So much more raw
To me, they're pretty much two different songs. There's a lot of stuff in Opiate 2 that I rather enjoy.
@@benbeesley4277 The jam in the middle is cool, but I am not a fan of the heavily processed vocals. I like the raw vocals on Opiate. Idk, everything on Opiate 2 sounds digitized and modern and I am not a fan of the mix. I actually removed it from my Tool playlist on Spotify so that I only ever hear the original
Nothing wrong with doing both! I love each of them in different ways.
@@shanesturgill75 Important to do the original first and not get the wrong impression of the song
Yeah I like them both, but the old one is still a fave.
So good waking up, with a day off to see the notification.
Can't wait for the rest of the album, especially Cold and Ugly and Opiate.
Also was having a discussion about Cold and Ugly and Jerk Off never being recorded at a studio and only having the live recording, would have been nice to hear a studio version, but I love the energy and feel of the live recording.
there are good recorded versions of those on here if you haven't heard it before - ua-cam.com/video/__EojCLZEpQ/v-deo.html
these are the demos they did and they're pretty hot.
@@eyemoeba Bro you are a legend! thanks for that, just sent the link to my friend. Sounds damn good - but of course it would
@@BrickNewton pleasure man. these things are out there but very easily missed. this is worth checking out as well - a radio session they did in '94. great alternative versions of familiar tunes.

Yaaay
Maynard said live that he ate a shit load of acid & listened to every Jodi Mitchell album & wrote this song.
OPIATE TIME BABY YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
This EP KICKS ASS!!!!!
Still love at shows when they pull up Opiate tracks...
Nice one bro! Good choice to go back and slip a bit of Opiate in before Fear Inoculum! Looking forward to more 😉🎶🎵👍
Thanks bro! I try to listen to the suggestions that makes the most sense 💯🤘🌀
HUSH has an official video.
I got this album when I was 8 years old. About 1 minute into this song, I knew I was hooked for life.
Man I been following you from the beginning and I appreciate every song you do …you really analyze every lyric and you truly on a spiritual level with it like I am and i love it keep it up man can’t wait for the next one….and by the way what is your song at the end of the videos I need to listen to the whole some it’s so relaxing!!
Seems like I've been here before, seems so familiar.
TOOL IS FOREVER!!!
They play Sober on the road before it ever came out. There is a Concert in 94 in Philadelphia in a small Club. Maynard had that big Mowhawk that was hi actual hair back then. It was long in the back like a big mullet actually. They are kind of like grunge metal progressive music that their category lol.
I remember seeing escape from LA hearing this is what made me buy the tape. Been listening to him ever since, I seen TOOL in concert in the 90s three times great shows
This is a badass opener
I honestly think Opiate is better appreciated later rather than first.
Skullz would love your take of Hawkman guest RAPPING over TOOL performing Relection.
Reflection W/Hawkman Live Tacoma 2001. 🤞🤞✌️
I lost my shit when they played this live in 2017. Love this EP.
The last song on the album has a silent intermission that last a few minutes. Not sure how long. But please don't assume the song is over cause there is something at the very end.
Early Tool, especially OPIATE, sounds like testosterone feels. Fear Inoculum! is so next level though. As others have stated the contrast from here might make FI even better ...enjoy
Bad ass bass tone
Toolarmy
Yes Danny has always been Danny.
🤘
I think I’ll start following you on this Tool journey.
Did you mention that you were starting over with their first album?
No he started with Undertow and has already done all the main albums except Fear Inoculum. Go check his playlist :)
A dream within a Dream is a False Awakening, Edger Alan Poe
Good choice on checking out there ep opiate is amazing you could tell this band was gonna go far also had cracking me with Maynards d reference hahahahha
So dope
..always awesome to watch your vids Skullz..
Yes sir
Angry Tool! You gotta react to No Quarter cover before Fear Inoculum!
Plz check out Tool minus Maynard the song is The Witness it is awake track / ad for Gibson Guitar 🎸
I've always thought this song was someone trying their best to describe what getting triggered and then disassociated feels like.
My brother burned me a CD with a variety of Tool songs. Sweat was the first song on the mix also first Tool song I had ever heard and it blew my mind. Tool army ever since.
It's the drug's whispering. Pulling him back
Perhaps it's Maynard's guilt pulling him back because he wants to move on and start life but his mom's illness pulls him back.
Each Tool song is another tool in the belt. Sweat is 1st cos, if you're not ready to do work, just leave the tools alone, child. Everything we stive for is drenched in the oil of our blood, sweat and tears. This short song has so much packed in there, hints of all they'd become as a band. I'm glad I heard Opiate 1st after I saw Sobor on Mtv. It was cheaper, and I was broke. Sweat is still my favorite Tool
Gangsta album
Oh snap yeah I consider opiate their first album even if it’s an EP. it’s a lot like undertow and undertow probably feels like a continuation of opiate or a refinement maybe
