      With Days and FI, a lot of their input was put into the production. That's why I feel like, the more we go along with them, the closer we get to their "actual" sound

      Right on, man. This has always been the most emotionally heavy song by tool for me. When it hits it's instant eargasm even after a thousand listens.
      I hope he breaks down Jambi and Eulogy also. Their whole discography really deserves a listen. So many gems.
      I'm with you though, powerful song.
      *edit: he mentioned not knowing what album this song is off of. I'm a firm believer that tool needs to be consumed by the album. They each have their own vibes that almoat require listening to the previous song to get the whole experience, the journey from headspace to headspace from song to song is just as powerful as the songs themselves. They are our generation's Pink Floyd in that sense. In my opinion.

    I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't shy away from going into a bit of music theory here and there, if that means you can better explain what exactly is happening in the song. My guess is, most of your audience is already interested in music more than the average person, and would appreciate a deeper analysis from someone knowledgeable in the field. In fact, it's your ability to analyse the theory, the production and playing techniques and explain what is happening on a more fundamental level that separates you from other run of the mill reaction channels, and gives the most value to these videos. Utilize your skillset, I'm sure your audience will only welcome it.

Then they released Aenema and I didn't think they could top that masterpiece. I got Lareralus as soon as it came out and sat in my room, rolled a joint, put this in my CD player and turned it up. I sat on my floor listening to Grudge, then The Patient came on, then Schism, and then these tracks came on and I was blown away. Then Lateralus! Another freaking masterpiece.

      @@scotttam7491 Hey, 10+ years classical musician here. There's hardly any theory. Like, the grand total of naming and rules that actually go into contemporary musical theory. There aren't as many as some people will make you think. The actual challenge begins when you, the theorist, begins to try and understand how different instruments work, namely sound science. Theory itself pretty much only comprises the names of notes, chords and scales, by themselves and in relation to one another, and then some old ass concepts about "ideal musical moments" such as cadences and syncopation. But in practice they're just naming conventions we classical people use to describe what we're doing. And most of it's in Italian, so they get a free pass. Just like French in cooking. Or pretty much all Europeans for medicine.
      As someone interested in music more as a creator or enthusiast, for instance, you should be much more concerned with how to actually achieve the sound you want to produce. Be that in terms of one instrument or an entire band/orchestra. As it turns out, to do just that you need next to zero "music theory". The actual theory only starts to matter if the things you listen to or try to reproduce are 100+ years old cantatas, chorals or dances. Anything vaguely recent follows largely incompatible rules, such as autonomous ideas about tonality and free rhythm.
      Somehow people think it's "cool" to use the classical toolbox to describe something like rock. And you definitely could do that. But it just doesn't make any real sense. 90% of "the theory" (with the notable exception of the names and simple functions of notes and chords) is inapplicable to rock music entirely. In jazz, for instance, they actually invented their own theory regarding chords, ornaments and techniques, and just stamped that on top of some basic classical theory, because they realised music had evolved and they were already breaking most of the rules anyway.
      Personally, I would just get used to the very, very basics, like the colloquial names of notes and chords, and then techniques in the context of their respective instruments. Beyond that, I swear even the experts have no idea what they're talking about most of the time, when it's about the modern musics.

    I'd agree that this one and 46 and 2 are very straight forward for Tool, also Prison Sex and The Pot.

    This song is one of not many songs where Tool uses a tuning other than Drop D. Instead of DADGBE, Adam and Justin tune down the lowest two strings to B and E, so it becomes BEDGBE, BEDG on bass

      Is it the same tunning like Prison Sex? cause live Adam uses a yellow Les Paul for both these songs.
