Tool doesn't disappoint, and neither do you, Preston! You've become a true Tool fan. Thank you for allowing us to see your journey!! Great reaction video once again!! 👏👏👏
@@bevrosity I think I hear different songs at different times and think "this might be my favorite" - But can never really make that call.. Parabola is a great choice, because for me, I try to live those lyrics, and they have profoundly affected me.. If I had to choose I'd probably say Right in Two, because it's so climactic, same as Eulogy... Pneuma is also a candidate now.
Such a simple beat. Such a tasteful beat. Such a masterful work of genius to add this jazzy, hi-hat groove & stuttered kick drum in the middle of this song.
Preston, Song isn't about anyone in specific. More about a type of person. A charlatan. A person who speaks out of one side of their mouth while cursing out of the other. Think of your typical televangelist or snake oil salesman type. It's about hypocrites and how they have a lot to say about everything but it's all just noise and blather. The song is largely sarcastic in nature when saying things like "we're gonna miss him"; a sarcastic eulogy for someone who thought they lived and died a hero and an important person when all along they were nothing but a liar and a fool. Much love, Tool is the best! :)
Again watching you experience these songs for the first time is not just entertaining, it lets me *almost* feel like I’m back to hearing them for the first time myself. Forgive the pun but I get to relive those moments vicariously through you. Heh. What blows my mind as a musician is that even those with no musical knowledge can hear the complexity and the intricacies of Tool’s music and those who are musicians and don’t like the genre still give mad props to the masterful musicianship these guys possess. When the right people somehow find each other and come together to make music, there’s nothing like it. Again - welcome to the ride, bro.
Laura Judd I totally agree. Omg I have been a fan since 96. Lol they are so good. Only got the chance to see them once in concert at ozzfest back in the day. Lol but definitely feel the same. ❤️
All I can say is Amen brother there's no way I could have said it better myself to nobody more awesome than to land tool fans welcome all you guys ktf and everybody else who has just been introduced enjoy I know you will
I like watching your Tool reactions for the first time and trying to guess where the " HOLD ON BRUHHHHHHHHHHH " will be. Sometimes I'm wrong but I'm right most of the time. 😂 Love your genuineness and energy man! Being a Tool fan for so long, it's cool to see someone blown away by them! Welcome to the " I love Tool " club!
LOVE this song! This was the first song I ever heard from Tool. This song is close to my heart. The cornerstone of my TooL discovery 20 years ago. Mad love! BTW, it's about L. Ron. Hubbard.
I know tool said that, but I have my doubts listening to the song..and yes I bought the album the day it came out so have been listening to this song for 20 years myself aswell. It sounds more like it's about jesus christ to me, but that's a tool song for ya...open for interpretation. It could really be about any "demi god", martyr or religious leader.
dont know if this was the first song, but this is their first album i bought... My # 1 band ever since! Never heard the L Ron Hubbard thing, always heard it was about Bill Hicks... Personally i always thought it was Jesus he was referring to; "You claimed all this time that you would die for me" "He had a lot to say,He had a lot of nothing to say" "Come down, get off your fuckin cross"
I think it was danny who said that in an interview, but it's hard telling really. You know how these guys are in interviews, always putting out BS just for their own amusement.
It's pretty fucking awesome to see the evolution of a fan. I can see you're a true fan of Tool. You should start checking out the artwork on their cd covers, especially the artwork be Alex Grey. It's all very self reflective, has a whole DMT experience vibe. Cool stuff. Keep up the good work!
It’s Jesus. Come down off your cross , not all martyrs see divinity. You said you would die for me for our sins and our lies.Never trust what the band says during interviews, coz they have no respect for the media bullshit. Which is another reason they are so awesome
My girlfriend and I are rabid Tool fans. I came for the Seahawks beanie (GO HAWKS!), I stayed for the sincerity and energy, I subscribed for the Tool reactions. I of course showed her, (which prompted another subscribe!) and we watch your new reactions together. Last tour, we were able to drive from Florida to SouthHaven (practically Tennessee) and experience Tool perform on the night of her birthday. New album should prompt a NA tour, and we both feel so strongly about you, and your discovery of one of our most beloved bands that we want to buy your ticket to see them live. Each time is a bit different, but each show has been otherworldly. Keep exploring, keep sharing such incredible experiences with all of us, and we will keep in touch.
I LOVE how much you enjoy TOOL! I grew up with this music so to me it’s normal, but watching you when you hear their songs for the first time is priceless!! I hope you’re still loving TOOL!
Maynard, the vocalist has stated this song is about making your own decisions and not standing on your own soap box each time to accomplish this. Maynard has a deep rooted passion in using Jesus as a metaphor in his lyrics. His entire career started because at a rock show he told some friends the band sucked and he could do better. They promptly told him he couldn’t do it and to prove it. He did a stint in a early glammer band, actually using lyrics to a now popular tool song while with that band in the late 1980’s. Now he is one of the best known vocalist with a unique delivery in the rock industry. He has two side projects that are simply projects to entertain his self id and ego. A Perfect Circle and Puscifer are also lead by the introverted front man that stands behind the band usually in the dark swaying awkwardly to the tempo of the regular 4/4 and 5/4 tempo music which is a tempo more commonly found in the classical music genre. Tool is the all around package for artsy rock music. Each beat holds something different. Each measure a hallway to the subconscious.
This song is dedicated to the late Bill Hicks(comidien). Bill and the band partied a lot and were very close. Bills picture is on this c.d. this song is for him,his comedy bit Arizona bay is a big part of aenema,same idea. Bill hicks stand up routine is also on this c.d. scattered around.
You rock! You’re enthusiastic ways make me watch these tool song reactions over and over!! Oh, I haven’t read any comments but this is for Bill Hicks, his best friend, a comedian. Very smart guy. Got my tool shirt on in my pic. Good job! You rock!!!!
On a side note. Your videos have totally gotten me back into Tool. I was a young fella when their music was released. Listening to it today holds so much more meaning to me than it did 15 - 20 years ago. Thanks Preston!
I love the fact that this channel turned Preston into a Tool fan. On the flipside I haven't really listened to rap/hip hop in a decade. But this channel turned me into an NF fan 2 weeks ago. Been along time since I heard rap with real lyrical content and where the words are enunciated. Also, react to "All That Remains- Two Weeks." Love the channel.
Love seeing the joy of someone hearing these songs for the first time. I can never have that experience again but seeing your reaction takes me back to 96.
i heard you saying on one of your reactions to tool "there is something about how the instrumental makes you feel that i cant put my finger on", i think the thing you need to listen to more is the drumming man, every bit of percussion you hear in tool songs are done live by the drummer (Danny Carry), the thing is its not just drumming, its musical, there is a lot of melody in his playing, he brings things together. Dont get me wrong all the band is top notch lvl musicians, but Danny and Meynard are kinda out of this world. PS : Try and listen to Jerk off from Tool, you can only find the live version on YT and the audio quality isnt that good, but its raw, field with anger and hate and i love it :D Peace.
The song is about people who pretend to be leaders of a cause usually for the sake of profit or attention seeking. L Ron Hubbard has been speculated as well as Kurt Cobain and Bill Hicks, although it seems unlikely the band would write such a scathing song about one of their idols - Bill Hicks. The religious themes of the song are most likely metaphorical, though it could be seen as an indictment of biblical scripture and the plausibility of a man who is supposedly also a God. Televangelists are another possibility being the most obvious example of false martyrs/false prophets in the world. Of course most Tool lyrics are vague and mysterious, which fits the band perfectly. Everything from their sound - playing in strange time signatures, to their image - downplaying it to the extreme of never appearing in their own music videos, just serve to make the band more intriguing in my opinion. This is my best guess, though.
When an album is dedicated to someone posthumously, it's usually done in a positive way. Particularly when we have evidence that the band members respected and admired Bill Hicks, so doesn't really make sense.
What a song. It really shows off the talent of each individual. From singer to guitar bass and drums. But what a fuckin set of vocals. One of the best. Hard to believe they found him screaming at his landlord over back rent. Now look at him. Successful as hell and one of the best. Rock on TOOL 🤘
Probably my favorite and arguably the best Tool song. I was always under the impression it was about L. Ron Hubbard, but it is likely a broader message about religion in general, or maybe even broader yet about not being a follower. "Think for yourself question authority."
Regrettably, we can only experience something for the first time once. Your reactions to these Tool videos are priceless! I'm reliving some of my first Tool experiences vicariously through you, sir! Thank you so much for these videos!
And if you do H. Know it was written to his first born. His son Devo. Written while Devo was a baby. Huge game changer, having your first child. Fucking beautiful song.
I love watching you turn into a tool fan. I’m almost jealous that you get to hear this for the first time. Been a fan for almost 25 years and I’m still in love with them.
Preston brother you NEEEEEEEEED to do a reaction to AEnema you will absolutely love it and will be a top 5 Tool song of yours I can almost guarantee it! It’s A song that they made for and dedicated to Bill Hicks after he passed away. If you know bill hicks (all time great comedian) you’d know he basically hated what society has become and this song is basically begging for a cataclysmic Event to “flush it all away”. Anyways thanks for the great Vids Botha I have really enjoyed watching your birth as a new Tool fan and when they go on tour this summer for the new album you REALLY NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE! Honestly I’ve never seen a better band live in my life and I’m not fan boyin either I’m dead serious these guys are protectionists in everything they do so you can only imagine. The light shows and visual effects are amazing since guitarist Adam Jones is a effects master who even did the effects for the original Jurassic park! Anyways back to the point...PLEASE REVIEW AENEMA (the song not whole album) you will NOT REGRET IT!!! Take care and look forward to it!
I just had to say, A dude turned to rap and through me this cd when I was in the 8th grade, 20 years ago. This was and is one of my favorites, although that's a pretty bogus statement to claim if you are a real Tool fan. God bless you Ktf. Some of the best reactions on youtube! Fyi, how this guy went from Tool to rap is highly disturbing. Hope he is well....
Preston brah ticks and leaches .love to watch you evolve and react as we all did with tool! As a musician it makes you just crazy that these guys are this good.
KING KTF!!! how can you *Love* Tool SO much and NEVER have listened/reacted to 'A Perfect Circle'??! it is another band with Maynard (Tool's lead singer with the amazing voice) that has put out some absolute Masterpiece songs! i have watched you enough to know what kind of music really gets to you and gives you goosebumps, so i am SURE that you will *Love* APC... my humble advice is to start with the songs 'Counting Bodies like Sheep', 'Orestes', 'The Outsider', and 'Passive'. HAPPY LISTENING! (oh, and don't forget the lyrics!)
well, although that is a matter of opinion and personal taste... i have always believed the beauty of music is in the ear of the listener. if i HAD choose only one band i would pick Tool over APC.... but only by a thin margin.... he really seems to like some of the more melodic and detailed stuff it seems to me... like, i think he likes the newer songs of Metallica that he listened to more than the older stuff from 'Kill em all'... he really liked songs like Fade to Black, and a lot of the songs that hardcore Metallica fans consider 'the commercial Metallica'. i think he would really like APC, because even though they are a bit more melodic they still have a definite edginess to them as well, and Maynard's voice and lyrics are totally amazing. but i guess we need to leave that up to him eh?
I had no idea about APC until long into being a Tool fan.. In my opinion, I feel it is a good idea to stick with Tool for now, allow the band to really dig into your soul, and give yourself time to think on what the band means to you. Then check out A Perfect Circle, Pucifer, etc... But absorb Tool first in all it's greatness. Awaiting the new album patiently...
i understand why you would say that of course. and i cant remember which video/s it was, but he *did* say that he was basically addicted to Tool, and he also said something similar about how Tool songs *have* touched his soul... and how he feels 'pulled into' all of the songs he has heard so far. i mean, he is doing a reaction channel in which he listens to LOTS of different kinds of music, i think he could appreciate APC by now. my *humble* opinion of course. i am not trying to be a music guru or anything.
I will never forget the night my best friend brought over Aenema for the first time. I was in college and Tool moved to the back burner and they were forgotten about for a few years since I had seen them for the first time in 1993. I had one of those big ass sound systems from the 90's and we put on that CD and it made such an impact that I can describe what we were all wearing to the last detail. Watching your reactions help me relive those wonderful memories, and that is a gift. Thank you.
I love your reactions. Especially to Tool. They are my all time favorite band. You’re one of the only people I’ve met that appreciate them the way I do. On a different topic a while ago you were looking for more Queen songs. Innuendo is great. If you like songs that switch it up nearly any song on the Queen II album will do.
I've been enjoying your reactions, especially the Tool ones. Watching someone else react to and get Tool is a great joy for me. What happened to the Stinkfist upload? Sorry, that's probably been asked a thousand times already.
Preston you have gave honest opinions of these amazing tool songs and you haven't disappointed once again. Great reation to another song from certainly one of the most iconic bands of all time. Rock on brother!!!
Every song is about You, Me, and Everybody in general is what I've found in my Xperience with other TOOL Fam. I love your reaction vids Bro yours are head & shoulders above the rest of them OWL
A lot of people think this song is about L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. I just think its about anyone who is on their high horse looking down at you, while they are clearly flawed as well. That's the best attribute of Tool, everything is a metaphor and open to interpretation.
Gave TOOL their own GOD!!!🤣🤣🤣 You the MAN!!!! Your on the right track!!! Check out Rosetta Stoned, take the tab and enjoy your journey on the u.f.o.🤣🤣🤣
This song is about Bill Hicks. They were close friends with the young comedian who died of cancer. Some of his stand up act can be heard at the beginning of Third Eye (if that’s the name of the song) on Aenema. Bill Hicks’ likeness is also drawn inside the cover art of the album. He looks like a weird doctor of some sort examining a deformed patient.
Lead singers other band A Perfect Circle is a great choice to react to. Judith is their most popular song and was a radio hit in the early 2000s. On a related note, A Perfect Circles rhythm guitarist is James Iha, the former lead guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, a very popular rock band from the 90's, which I would love to see you react to as well. Thanks for keeping it real dude, cheers.
Bob Maget Many other influential musicians beside Iha in APC. thespinoff.co.nz/music/16-04-2018/billy-howerdel-and-maynard-james-keenan-on-resurrecting-a-perfect-circle/
The song is about late stand up comedian Bill Hicks. He was friends of the band, he lost his battle with cancer and passed away before they recorded the AEnima album so the album as a whole is dedicated to him in general. The final track on the album is called "Third Eye" and opens with samples of a few of Bill's stand up bits.
The Tool Gods are happy😀 this song.. the instrumental alone as in most Tool songs tell so much of the story and Maynards singing and lyrics ... on point.
No it’s not. The album the song is on is dedicated to him on the CD jacket and one of his bits is in the last track. It this song has nothing to do with Bill Hicks.
Middle school was when I first heard this song. At that time, it was a little scary for me. This was in the mid nineties, but I remember it well. My older brother was in high school and during football practice ( mat drills, & weight training), this song was one of the few hype staples... Our entire family loves them.
Tool is outstanding and unmatched with multi levels of sounds that the more you listen the more you hear and just gets better. Ps. Your joy brings me joy
A lot of folks say it’s about the comedian Bill Hicks, L. Ron Hubbard or even Jesus. I even heard an interesting idea that it’s about Maynard’s 40 years old self, Eulogizing his 20 year old self. Because that version of him is essentially dead, as he has changed and matured so much over the years. But basically what the band says is that it can be about anyone you want it to be about. It’s a fantastic song either way, and another great reaction dude. As others have mentioned, you really need to do Parabol/Parabola, with the lyrics.
Hoooooooooold ON BROOOOOOOOOOOO. You should do Tragically Hip. New Orleans is Sinking live with Gord Downie's killer whale rant. Locked in the Trunk of a Car. Longtime Running. Wheat Kings. They have so many great songs. Just One. That's all we want I'm not the only person who wants you to react to a Hip track.
He had a lot to say He had a lot of nothing to say We'll miss him We'll miss him He had a lot to say He had a lot of nothing to say We'll miss him We'll miss him We're gonna miss him We're gonna miss him So long We wish you well You told us how you weren't afraid to die Well, so long Don't cry Or feel too down Not all martyrs see divinity But at least you tried Standing above the crowd He had a voice that was strong and loud We'll miss him We'll miss him Ranting and pointing his finger At everything but his heart We'll miss him We'll miss him We're gonna miss him We're gonna miss him No way to recall What it was that you had said to me? Like I care at all But it was so loud You sure could yell You took a stand on every little thing And so loud You could be the one who saves me from my own existence Warn while some child might chill, nine-one-two I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone symbol on you So he bashes his skull through the window while looking out to the sea Like torment of my ego And we're amused by this Yeah, standing above the crowd He had a voice that was strong and loud and I Swallowed his facade 'cause I'm so Eager to identify with Someone above the ground Someone who seemed to feel the same Someone prepared to lead the way And someone who would die for me Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you fuckin' lie Don't you step out of line Don't you step out of line Don't you step out of line Don't you fuckin' lie You've claimed all this time that you would die for me Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy? He had a lot to say He had a lot of nothing to say He had a lot to say He had a lot of nothing to say Come down Get off your fucking cross We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr To ascend you must die You must be crucified For our sins and our lies Goodbye
First time checking out your channel and gotta say I'm loving it. Sorry for being late to the party lol but keep it up. Doing great work checking out profound bands and songs!
Its dedicated to bill hicks (a comedian whose work was one of tools influences at this time) the lines "he had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say" "standing above the crowd" "he had a voice so strong and loud" "waving and pointing his finger at everyone but himself" were imo about maynard realizing that his hero was just a man, that this hero's larger than life persona was just an act...but they were also about maynard realizing his desire to be larger than life, one of the chosen few who lead humanity to its "rightful" place was also an act...i think the lines about showing him that his hero would die for him cause his hero wouldn't lie, he couldn't lie otherwise he wouldnt be the hero standing larger than life above the crowd...all this was maynard singing about both himself and bill hicks....on the one hand reminding himself what being this hero actually means...dieing for the crowd if neccessary and how arrogant, stupid and self righteous thats seems when instead of imagining bill hicks up on a cross he imagines himself up there. I think as far as eulogies go, Bill Hicks would have loved this one. He was friends with Maynard and they apparently talked regularly on the phone before hicks died...they wanted to do a tour where bill hicks would do stand up and tool would play. If you're not familiar with bill hicks i would suggest checking out "rant in Eminor" as well as "Arizona Bay" The sample that third eye begins with is bill hicks.... Wouldn't it be great if just once you heard a positive drug story on the evening news...you know something like "today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. Here's Tom with the weather." Epic
Tool doesn't disappoint, and neither do you, Preston! You've become a true Tool fan. Thank you for allowing us to see your journey!! Great reaction video once again!! 👏👏👏
I really am enjoying him grow into a fan.
They def don’t disappoint. Would love for him to dabble into some a perfect circle
I would love for him to do The Remedy by Puscifer!!!
OoOoh that’s good too!
Kids online smh
You gave TOOL their own god!?!?! I paused your video and yelled. "Hold on bruh, HOLD ON BRUHHHHHHHHH"
eric.. omfg... i died when i read this LOL
BY FAR my favorite TOOL song for a LONG TIME!!!.... then..... Lateralus came out, and I was never able to choose a favorite ever again.
so fuckin same bruh lol. although i think parabol/parabola is now my current favorite.
Honestly, this is his best vocal work imo
@@bevrosity I think I hear different songs at different times and think "this might be my favorite" - But can never really make that call.. Parabola is a great choice, because for me, I try to live those lyrics, and they have profoundly affected me.. If I had to choose I'd probably say Right in Two, because it's so climactic, same as Eulogy... Pneuma is also a candidate now.
I think the breakdown in the last third, "you claimed all this time.." is one of the greatest beats ever.
I agree 100000% I am a drummer myself and I am always impressed when I hear that beat.
Agreed
Such a simple beat.
Such a tasteful beat.
Such a masterful work of genius to add this jazzy, hi-hat groove & stuttered kick drum in the middle of this song.
You sure have a lot of nothing to say
@@TheNewAmericanMedia it sounds simple when listening but if you try playing it, it's quite the opposite
Do Parabol amd Parabola at the same time. You will love it!
David Slonecki speaks the tru tru...
This would be amazing.
Goosebumps when Parabola kicks off.
It must be done
Absolutely
Preston,

Much love, Tool is the best! :)
JonasDash I could not have said it better
Its about Jesus tho......
Well that COULD be.
A lot of Tool songs are wide in meanings and interpretation. JonasDash has a good point regarding this song.
Ugh, "charlatan" is such a great fucking word. It cuts the subject every time I hear it.
Well said
Again watching you experience these songs for the first time is not just entertaining, it lets me *almost* feel like I’m back to hearing them for the first time myself. Forgive the pun but I get to relive those moments vicariously through you. Heh.

Tool is music.
Exactly. I've been a Tool fan going on 20 years now and it makes me giddy to see him experience and truly enjoy these songs for the first time!
My thoughts exactly .
Whenever you do your "hold on bruuuuuuuuuuuuh!" I have to cover my speaker lmao because I always watch your videos while everyone is sleeping 😂
Hahha damn..
Lol this is true. Throw the phone under the pillow, but its what I came for. Favorite reaction human.
Eulogy is the shit! The last two minutes are so epic
This right here is truth
I like when Maynard says something cool and Preston points at us... haha
Preston is all of us.
This man has to get to a Tool show ASAP!!
I'd donate to it
I like watching your Tool reactions for the first time and trying to guess where the " HOLD ON BRUHHHHHHHHHHH " will be.

Never heard the L Ron Hubbard thing, always heard it was about Bill Hicks...
Personally i always thought it was Jesus he was referring to;
"You claimed all this time that you would die for me"
"He had a lot to say,He had a lot of nothing to say"
"Come down, get off your fuckin cross"
I think it was danny who said that in an interview, but it's hard telling really. You know how these guys are in interviews, always putting out BS just for their own amusement.
"We need the fucking space/To nail the next fool martyr!"
I felt like it was the Jonestown massacre, but maybe I was off. I am sure any martyr will fit the bill.
It's pretty fucking awesome to see the evolution of a fan. I can see you're a true fan of Tool. You should start checking out the artwork on their cd covers, especially the artwork be Alex Grey. It's all very self reflective, has a whole DMT experience vibe. Cool stuff. Keep up the good work!
The song 46 & 2 explains why they use that kind of artwork
It’s Jesus. Come down off your cross , not all martyrs see divinity. You said you would die for me for our sins and our lies.Never trust what the band says during interviews, coz they have no respect for the media bullshit. Which is another reason they are so awesome
Tool reaction without the lyrics......hOLD ON BRUH!!!

Hell ya. The drum break down then the beat dropping got me ready for patrols in Iraq
Bobby Demps fuck yeah too many tool songs are my favorite
So happy he did this, the most underated tool song in my opinion.
Finally....... TooL has come BACK to KTF channel!!!
Tool one of the only bands to come out the 90's and that are still together to this day 22+ yrs later
gj ktf ty again man
This song is dedicated to the late Bill Hicks(comidien). Bill and the band partied a lot and were very close. Bills picture is on this c.d. this song is for him,his comedy bit Arizona bay is a big part of aenema,same idea. Bill hicks stand up routine is also on this c.d. scattered around.
"The Tool gods are pleased" by this reaction.
Already liked before the video started.
I do that every single time hahaha. I already know.
Same here lol
Same
me too : D
me 5
You rock! You’re enthusiastic ways make me watch these tool song reactions over and over!! Oh, I haven’t read any comments but this is for Bill Hicks, his best friend, a comedian. Very smart guy. Got my tool shirt on in my pic. Good job! You rock!!!!
On a side note. Your videos have totally gotten me back into Tool. I was a young fella when their music was released. Listening to it today holds so much more meaning to me than it did 15 - 20 years ago. Thanks Preston!
TOOL - THE GRUDGE
METALLICA - MY FRIEND OF MISERY
SYSTEM OF A DOWN - AERIALS
PINK FLOYD - DOGS
Nice tallica choice!
Kae Kazakas I’d love to see him react to the whole Animals album. For me, it’s almost like one big long song lol
Dogs is quintessential. "Look at that sad old man, all alone, dying of cancerrrrr!"
I’m not a big fan of the Black Album as a whole, but My Friend of Misery is easily my favorite off it.
Clicked so fast I dropped my phone
I clicked so fast I dropped my baby!
I literally ended a phone call with someone! 😂😂
@DJ KO ur mom
let nature take you
@@Jayyy667 You're super edgy. Neat.
Love your the shit man, been with you for close to 2 years now...appreciate your open-mindedness and passion for music and calling it as you see it
So pumped that you reviewed this one! "Eulogy" is one of their coolest and most unique tracks, esp that funky intro!
I love the fact that this channel turned Preston into a Tool fan. On the flipside I haven't really listened to rap/hip hop in a decade. But this channel turned me into an NF fan 2 weeks ago. Been along time since I heard rap with real lyrical content and where the words are enunciated.
Also, react to "All That Remains- Two Weeks." Love the channel.
NF is sick
This is the definitive Tool song to review. Great job.
Love seeing the joy of someone hearing these songs for the first time. I can never have that experience again but seeing your reaction takes me back to 96.
i heard you saying on one of your reactions to tool "there is something about how the instrumental makes you feel that i cant put my finger on", i think the thing you need to listen to more is the drumming man, every bit of percussion you hear in tool songs are done live by the drummer (Danny Carry), the thing is its not just drumming, its musical, there is a lot of melody in his playing, he brings things together. Dont get me wrong all the band is top notch lvl musicians, but Danny and Meynard are kinda out of this world.
PS : Try and listen to Jerk off from Tool, you can only find the live version on YT and the audio quality isnt that good, but its raw, field with anger and hate and i love it :D
Peace.
Danny Carey almost literally said this too. He isn't just a beat maker, he is a music maker.
The song is about people who pretend to be leaders of a cause usually for the sake of profit or attention seeking. L Ron Hubbard has been speculated as well as Kurt Cobain and Bill Hicks, although it seems unlikely the band would write such a scathing song about one of their idols - Bill Hicks.
The religious themes of the song are most likely metaphorical, though it could be seen as an indictment of biblical scripture and the plausibility of a man who is supposedly also a God. Televangelists are another possibility being the most obvious example of false martyrs/false prophets in the world. Of course most Tool lyrics are vague and mysterious, which fits the band perfectly. Everything from their sound - playing in strange time signatures, to their image - downplaying it to the extreme of never appearing in their own music videos, just serve to make the band more intriguing in my opinion. This is my best guess, though.
Well the album is dedicated to Bill Hicks so.........
When an album is dedicated to someone posthumously, it's usually done in a positive way. Particularly when we have evidence that the band members respected and admired Bill Hicks, so doesn't really make sense.
Maynard hates L Ron Hubbard and Scientology with a passion.
Well played Artie and the wackpack
@@buddahbubba They were friends with Hicks.
best reaction videos ever, i love them. im so glad i found your page. ❤️
What a song. It really shows off the talent of each individual. From singer to guitar bass and drums. But what a fuckin set of vocals. One of the best. Hard to believe they found him screaming at his landlord over back rent. Now look at him. Successful as hell and one of the best. Rock on TOOL 🤘
Shredddddding guitar, progression, & hammer passion.......yes. I need live concert too!!!!
This is my favorite Tool song Good pick Preston
this will be played at my funeral
Probably my favorite and arguably the best Tool song. I was always under the impression it was about L. Ron Hubbard, but it is likely a broader message about religion in general, or maybe even broader yet about not being a follower. "Think for yourself question authority."
I keep searching for your review of Tool Stinkfist. Awesome reviews Preston. Reminds me of the first time I heard Tool in my way back younger days.
Regrettably, we can only experience something for the first time once. Your reactions to these Tool videos are priceless! I'm reliving some of my first Tool experiences vicariously through you, sir! Thank you so much for these videos!
Please please PLEASE Do H. as the next react! Its so goood
Yes!
Yes! H is sooooo awesome. I can’t wait to see you react to those lyrics. Good lawd!
H. was the first Tool song I heard back in 1998. "Looking to turn the piss to wine... " I was forever changed. Been listening every since.
@@MrPeterMerkin I like "The snake behind me hisses what my damage could have been, my blood before me begs me open up my heart again"
And if you do H. Know it was written to his first born. His son Devo. Written while Devo was a baby. Huge game changer, having your first child. Fucking beautiful song.
So many great Tool songs. But this has always been my favorite.
It is amazing watching someone grow into a new Tool Fan. Your Tool react videos are the best!!!
I love watching you turn into a tool fan. I’m almost jealous that you get to hear this for the first time. Been a fan for almost 25 years and I’m still in love with them.
Preston brother you NEEEEEEEEED to do a reaction to AEnema you will absolutely love it and will be a top 5 Tool song of yours I can almost guarantee it! It’s A song that they made for and dedicated to Bill Hicks after he passed away. If you know bill hicks (all time great comedian) you’d know he basically hated what society has become and this song is basically begging for a cataclysmic
Event to “flush it all away”. Anyways thanks for the great Vids Botha I have really enjoyed watching your birth as a new Tool fan and when they go on tour this summer for the new album you REALLY NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE! Honestly I’ve never seen a better band live in my life and I’m not fan boyin either I’m dead serious these guys are protectionists in everything they do so you can only imagine. The light shows and visual effects are amazing since guitarist Adam Jones is a effects master who even did the effects for the original Jurassic park! Anyways back to the point...PLEASE REVIEW AENEMA (the song not whole album) you will NOT REGRET IT!!! Take care and look forward to it!
"I had to give TOOL their own God" hahahahahahahahaha ... that was a beautiful moment :-)
I love watching you, man. Your reaction videos are the best. You’re sharp. I hope your channel grows. Wish you the best!
Wasn't expecting you to do this song! Awesome! Let's get it!
it makes me happy that you enjoy tool & "get" what makes them special...
*\\m//*
“The Tool gods are pleased with Tool, THEY’RE PLEASED WITH TOOL MAN!!!!!
Favorite song by Tool, love the change ups in the beginning. Top quality stuff
love your reactions dude! tool is amazing been my favorite band for years!
I just had to say, A dude turned to rap and through me this cd when I was in the 8th grade, 20 years ago. This was and is one of my favorites, although that's a pretty bogus statement to claim if you are a real Tool fan. God bless you Ktf. Some of the best reactions on youtube!
Fyi, how this guy went from Tool to rap is highly disturbing. Hope he is well....
I want him to react to prison sex by tool so bad. groovy af
Prison sex is definitely one of my favorites as fucked up as it is
Paigetherocker13 Yessssssss!!!!!
Prison sex is one of the best tool songs ever!!
I SOOO much love that you enjoy TOOL. Omni-respect to you! Love your intro too, I listen to him.
Preston brah ticks and leaches .love to watch you evolve and react as we all did with tool!
As a musician it makes you just crazy that these guys are this good.
KING KTF!!! how can you *Love* Tool SO much and NEVER have listened/reacted to 'A Perfect Circle'??! it is another band with Maynard (Tool's lead singer with the amazing voice) that has put out some absolute Masterpiece songs! i have watched you enough to know what kind of music really gets to you and gives you goosebumps, so i am SURE that you will *Love* APC... my humble advice is to start with the songs 'Counting Bodies like Sheep', 'Orestes', 'The Outsider', and 'Passive'. HAPPY LISTENING! (oh, and don't forget the lyrics!)
because APC is good but not as good as Tool
well, although that is a matter of opinion and personal taste... i have always believed the beauty of music is in the ear of the listener. if i HAD choose only one band i would pick Tool over APC.... but only by a thin margin.... he really seems to like some of the more melodic and detailed stuff it seems to me... like, i think he likes the newer songs of Metallica that he listened to more than the older stuff from 'Kill em all'... he really liked songs like Fade to Black, and a lot of the songs that hardcore Metallica fans consider 'the commercial Metallica'. i think he would really like APC, because even though they are a bit more melodic they still have a definite edginess to them as well, and Maynard's voice and lyrics are totally amazing. but i guess we need to leave that up to him eh?
I had no idea about APC until long into being a Tool fan..
In my opinion, I feel it is a good idea to stick with Tool for now, allow the band to really dig into your soul, and give yourself time to think on what the band means to you.
Then check out A Perfect Circle, Pucifer, etc...
But absorb Tool first in all it's greatness.
Awaiting the new album patiently...
i understand why you would say that of course. and i cant remember which video/s it was, but he *did* say that he was basically addicted to Tool, and he also said something similar about how Tool songs *have* touched his soul... and how he feels 'pulled into' all of the songs he has heard so far. i mean, he is doing a reaction channel in which he listens to LOTS of different kinds of music, i think he could appreciate APC by now. my *humble* opinion of course. i am not trying to be a music guru or anything.
@@ginawhoever9734 touchè! You're right. :) very good points.
when the new tool comes out please react to the whole album
lol good one
His skeleton with headphone would be left to react Tool's next album🤣🤣
If it ever actually comes out. Maynard just said it will come out on April 1st.... I love and hate that man...
If he's still alive I'm sure he will
All the doubt on the “new album” comments makes me chuckle now..🤣
I will never forget the night my best friend brought over Aenema for the first time. I was in college and Tool moved to the back burner and they were forgotten about for a few years since I had seen them for the first time in 1993. I had one of those big ass sound systems from the 90's and we put on that CD and it made such an impact that I can describe what we were all wearing to the last detail. Watching your reactions help me relive those wonderful memories, and that is a gift. Thank you.
I love your reactions. Especially to Tool. They are my all time favorite band. You’re one of the only people I’ve met that appreciate them the way I do. On a different topic a while ago you were looking for more Queen songs. Innuendo is great. If you like songs that switch it up nearly any song on the Queen II album will do.
still their best album (imo). I used to sport that shape shifting shirt when i was in middle school. Brilliant album
any chance you still have a picture of that shirt or the artwork on it?
I've been enjoying your reactions, especially the Tool ones. Watching someone else react to and get Tool is a great joy for me. What happened to the Stinkfist upload? Sorry, that's probably been asked a thousand times already.
Preston you have gave honest opinions of these amazing tool songs and you haven't disappointed once again. Great reation to another song from certainly one of the most iconic bands of all time. Rock on brother!!!
Every song is about You, Me, and Everybody in general is what I've found in my Xperience with other TOOL Fam.
I love your reaction vids Bro yours are head & shoulders above the rest of them
OWL
You've got to do Puscifer next my friend.
I really enjoy watching your vids, its like hearing it all again for the first time.
Thank you.
A lot of people think this song is about L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. I just think its about anyone who is on their high horse looking down at you, while they are clearly flawed as well. That's the best attribute of Tool, everything is a metaphor and open to interpretation.
Tool is the best!! Always something different n amazingly awesome! Agree...they never disappoint. Thx for this last year Pres. U rock!✌
I love the way "Tool" makes you smile dude.
Gave TOOL their own GOD!!!🤣🤣🤣 You the MAN!!!! Your on the right track!!! Check out Rosetta Stoned, take the tab and enjoy your journey on the u.f.o.🤣🤣🤣
Third Eye will completely snap your head back.
This song is about Bill Hicks. They were close friends with the young comedian who died of cancer. Some of his stand up act can be heard at the beginning of Third Eye (if that’s the name of the song) on Aenema. Bill Hicks’ likeness is also drawn inside the cover art of the album. He looks like a weird doctor of some sort examining a deformed patient.
Lead singers other band A Perfect Circle is a great choice to react to. Judith is their most popular song and was a radio hit in the early 2000s. On a related note, A Perfect Circles rhythm guitarist is James Iha, the former lead guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, a very popular rock band from the 90's, which I would love to see you react to as well. Thanks for keeping it real dude, cheers.
Bob Maget Many other influential musicians beside Iha in APC. thespinoff.co.nz/music/16-04-2018/billy-howerdel-and-maynard-james-keenan-on-resurrecting-a-perfect-circle/
9:03 my favorite part of the song that breakdown with the drumming
TakeNoPrisoners the first time I heard that section I had to replay it about 50 times, completely agree
You need to do Tool The Grudge, I guarantee that it will become your favorite Tool song once you hear it.
The song is about late stand up comedian Bill Hicks. He was friends of the band, he lost his battle with cancer and passed away before they recorded the AEnima album so the album as a whole is dedicated to him in general. The final track on the album is called "Third Eye" and opens with samples of a few of Bill's stand up bits.
The Tool Gods are happy😀 this song.. the instrumental alone as in most Tool songs tell so much of the story and Maynards singing and lyrics ... on point.
Been waitin on this for a long time, Prestons gonna dig this. Still waitin for you to check out A Perfect Circle, Judith. Gotta do it man!!!
It's in remembrance of Bill Hicks
No it’s not. The album the song is on is dedicated to him on the CD jacket and one of his bits is in the last track. It this song has nothing to do with Bill Hicks.
@@frightenedsoul Arizona Bay...
@@Reverend_Harrison86 Yup that's from the title track, not this one
Middle school was when I first heard this song. At that time, it was a little scary for me. This was in the mid nineties, but I remember it well.
My older brother was in high school and during football practice ( mat drills, & weight training), this song was one of the few hype staples...
Our entire family loves them.
Tool is outstanding and unmatched with multi levels of sounds that the more you listen the more you hear and just gets better. Ps. Your joy brings me joy
React to tool pushit, salival version. It will take your breath away!
That scream though! 🔥
Perfect mate, tool delivers everytime love the videos keep it up
105k subs!!! Keep it up my man much deserved and the ceiling is endless.🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍
A lot of folks say it’s about the comedian Bill Hicks, L. Ron Hubbard or even Jesus. I even heard an interesting idea that it’s about Maynard’s 40 years old self, Eulogizing his 20 year old self. Because that version of him is essentially dead, as he has changed and matured so much over the years. But basically what the band says is that it can be about anyone you want it to be about. It’s a fantastic song either way, and another great reaction dude. As others have mentioned, you really need to do Parabol/Parabola, with the lyrics.
Hoooooooooold ON BROOOOOOOOOOOO.
You should do Tragically Hip.
New Orleans is Sinking live with Gord Downie's killer whale rant.
Locked in the Trunk of a Car.
Longtime Running.
Wheat Kings.
They have so many great songs.
Just One. That's all we want I'm not the only person who wants you to react to a Hip track.
Great idea!
congratulations for 100k subscribers , you deserve it
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him
So long
We wish you well
You told us how you weren't afraid to die
Well, so long
Don't cry
Or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity
But at least you tried
Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him
No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me?
Like I care at all
But it was so loud
You sure could yell
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud
You could be the one who saves me from my own existence
Warn while some child might chill, nine-one-two
I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone symbol on you
So he bashes his skull through the window while looking out to the sea
Like torment of my ego
And we're amused by this
Yeah, standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade 'cause I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground
Someone who seemed to feel the same
Someone prepared to lead the way
And someone who would die for me
Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fuckin' lie
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you fuckin' lie
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr
To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye
TOOL parabol\parabola
Deftones My Own Summer
First time checking out your channel and gotta say I'm loving it. Sorry for being late to the party lol but keep it up. Doing great work checking out profound bands and songs!
Its dedicated to bill hicks (a comedian whose work was one of tools influences at this time) the lines "he had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say" "standing above the crowd" "he had a voice so strong and loud" "waving and pointing his finger at everyone but himself" were imo about maynard realizing that his hero was just a man, that this hero's larger than life persona was just an act...but they were also about maynard realizing his desire to be larger than life, one of the chosen few who lead humanity to its "rightful" place was also an act...i think the lines about showing him that his hero would die for him cause his hero wouldn't lie, he couldn't lie otherwise he wouldnt be the hero standing larger than life above the crowd...all this was maynard singing about both himself and bill hicks....on the one hand reminding himself what being this hero actually means...dieing for the crowd if neccessary and how arrogant, stupid and self righteous thats seems when instead of imagining bill hicks up on a cross he imagines himself up there.
I think as far as eulogies go, Bill Hicks would have loved this one. He was friends with Maynard and they apparently talked regularly on the phone before hicks died...they wanted to do a tour where bill hicks would do stand up and tool would play.
If you're not familiar with bill hicks i would suggest checking out "rant in Eminor" as well as "Arizona Bay"
The sample that third eye begins with is bill hicks.... Wouldn't it be great if just once you heard a positive drug story on the evening news...you know something like "today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. Here's Tom with the weather."
