Brad & Lex
PO BOX 4393
Clearwater, FL 33758
Maynard loves to sing about the human condition, not necessarily from his POV, but the average persons.
The human condition on a macro scale.
exactly
@@nikita8370 Namaste, this is amazing lol
Or the POV of angels.
Sad you even have to explain this
Tools entire message is “think for yourself”
How ironic
The smile on Lex's face when the beat drops at the beginning warmed my heart :)
You were pretty much right at the beginning! Society as a whole has a blood thirst that we love to watch from outside of harm. Human nature I guess. You both had good points for each gender, males have that primal feel for the hunt or kill and woman have an insatiable thirst for revenge/justice in those murder shows they love. Well done you two. Also proud of you not pausing on the last drop through the Vicarious scream Brad, and I love Lex's nose wrinkle and instant smile when the first drop hits, she's totally a metal head. Can't wait to watch you get deeper into Tool.
they completely nailed it.
Way back then you needed psychopaths, which were mostly men, to conquer new lands. That's why women weren't fighting on the front. I notice it over and over when I talk to my male friends about grewsome content, when women are near. They start to look at us in disgust while we don't really care about it. There are no emotions attached to talking about someone else's suffering. Of course, not every man is like that and not every woman is like what I described, but many are and those were the warriors of a nation and the women were the ones keeping up the home while the men were fighting out the wars. It's embedded into our dna per nature.
"This is necessary
Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on"
Let the rabbits wear glasses!
No! Save the carrots.....
For today... is the holocaust.
"Can I get an amen?"
The universe is hostile, so impersonal, devour to survive, so its always been
“Cause, I play sims, right?” I already knew where that was going before you said another word 😭
I think my favourite thing is that both of y'all are bobbing to different beats. And you're both right... what a band.
Don't care if Lateralus didn't win your poll, it must be done!
It's their best song for sure.
YEESSS!
@@MrFarnanonical top five for sure. Got a lot of good ones though it's hard to pick a favorite
My favorite tool song changes daily, by the mood I’m in.
First aenema, then lateralus. The universe will thank you
Many people have the voice of an angel...
Maynard has the voice of an archangel.
Yeah!
Not a voice of some cherub, but a voice of something with too many eays and wings in the shape that is not posible.
I love how people start to get Tool after listening and learning after a few songs. Trust me, it keeps getting better with more Tool!!!
Lex is totally starting to vibe with it.
Patiently waiting for Aenema 🙏🏻
Same. OR Stinkfist or Hooker with a Penis. Or..well that whole album.
Yea!
Yes! Aenema, for the cleanse, then Lateralus to spiral out
Impatiently waiting, myself.
And yes, the whole album!
💯
Maynard is a different level. Every album is like 7 years apart from one another and their most recent album, we waited like 15 years for. Tool really is a different level band. No artist could stay relevant having so so many years between albums.
Not to mention the albums with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Both have songs with amazing lyrics as well.
I think you did hit the nail on the head. He's not just talking about himself. He's talking about humanity. I love the Sims example. 😂
Guys, do lateralus next, it is probably the smartest song tool has, but search for the explanation vid on it (like the 46&2 one)
Please do Wings for Marie and 10,000 days, I really think you'd love those two songs and I'm sure it would spark a lot of conversation.
They’re gonna like every TOOL song. We all know it.
I agree with you, Trace, that those 2 songs would spark a ton of discussion, but I wonder if you don't have to have quite a bit of discussion first about Maynard's Mom's Trilogy, Judith and Right in Two first. They're both great songs, but understanding the background a bit more makes the total experience greater than the sum of the parts, if that makes sense. I don't know, maybe I'm really off base here. What do you think?
@@854medic Right in Two isn’t about his mom. Jimmy is though.
@@plexus Sorry, you are correct. Been trying for a while to get Right in Two out of my head. Obviously I'm failing at that, lol.
@@854medic I agree they could use a little background info on Judith before they react, they would definitely start getting the idea on their first time listening but it would have a little more impact if they were in the know.
I love that you’re reviewing Tool songs, you have fantastic takes on the meaning. 🔥
You guys are so smart and have such an open mind...love it! Tool isn't for the Sheep...it's for those who have a third eye open! Thanks for this, this is warms my heart that people still think!
Leterally I do care for lyrics, Maynard is part of instruments.
Like Hicks’ “Think for yourself. Question authority.”
Lex, you are officially a metal fan. You're instantly into it when the beat drops. Love it🤘
Lex is becoming one of my fav human being... love her reaction and her attitude. Great heart and soul, you are a real music human, I'd like to have you in my circle of friends 🤘🏻
Lex is metal to the core, she loves it when it drops!
So glad you guys love Tool!. 😃
" We won't give pause until the blood is flowing "
You nailed this from the start. He’s referring to humans in general. Nice Maynard-intuition 😂❤️ This song is so hard hitting - not just lyrically, but musically. Love it. Wish more people would listen and LEARN
This was released in 2006, BEFORE youtube even existed. That's how ahead of it's time this song was.
Well, technically, UA-cam existed in 2005, but, of course, it wasn't as relevant as it is now.
I think given the coliseum and gladiators, it's a bit behind...
@@jamesnewman9547 Th
The twenty-four hour "news" cycle was around over a decade prior to UA-cam. Before that, footage of things like the JFK assassination was shown in jmiddle schools with disturbing frequency, alongside horrifying crash footage in driver's ed courses. There's nothing new about the ugly nature of being human.
"Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies"
Still one of my favorite set of lines, this is my favorite Tool song and I'm glad you guys reacted to it you guys were pretty damn accurate with the meaning behind the song at the start love it keep killing it you two!
You guys would love Tools “Right in two”. great reaction! Can’t wait for the next Tool review.
Please please please do right in two
Absolutely love seeing Lex feel that beat drop and rocking out, that’s what it’s all about right there
She nailed it with her relationship with following Kobe's wife... That's exactly what this is about
I could listen to you two dissect meanings for hours.
You're both so complimentary cerebral.
Hands down on of my favorite lyrics of all time is in this song towards the end... "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men". Sad, but powerfully accurate statement.
We are all obsessed with death especially our own. We just don't like to admit how much our pursuit of 'achievement', 'money', 'sex' and 'resources' is simply and clearly our attempt to prevent, delay and mask the reality of our obsession with our own death. Why is pain our greatest teacher? Why are mistakes what we remember the most clearly? Why indeed
Its what religion prays on. Fear of death. It indoctrinates you to live your life preparing for an afterlife.
But everything listed is a fear. The reality of the situation is that noone, and i mean noone, knows what happens after death. There is a 99.9% chance all religion, philosophies, or even current understandings of the universe are wrong.
We are, afterall, just a very complex computer. We are what we believe to be sentient, but thats only an interpretation, and thats how we explain our conciousness. But in the end, we only require oxygen, just like a computer requires power. When lose consciousness, everything goes black, and we essentially shut down like a computer. Our dna is literally just a bunch of on/off switches, like transistors, that determine what we are, look like, and function and operate.
So the real question i always ask people is: why worry about death when we dont know the answer in the first place? Just live life the best you can, while you can. Why should pain and pursuit of being better than others matter so much to our mindsets? It costs nothing to be a decent person. You being the richest, or strongest person, or better at something, should not really matter, because you are still just as expendable as anyone else, so treat people with more respect.
I will never understand why human nature is to have something we dont, or to crave for more. Like you said, its our obsession, and masks our fears. We remember our mistakes vividly, but we often dont learn from them. We fail to critically think all too often.
Love to see you bop Lex, that's exactly how I feel when these tracks drop!
You guys are so intuitive… great analysis. And love to watch you groove to something I have breathed for years. ❣️
I really enjoy how you are both open to receive a new message and different perspective. Keep up the reactions. Great communication between people.
I performed this song for my year 12 Music Group Performance class final assessment, way back in 2007. It's definitely commentary on society's obsession with not only the macabre, but the human condition in general. We can't look away from a car crash.
I came to this channel for the Tom MacDonald content but was pleasantly surprised to see this sort of stuff too! Really enjoy you guys.
its not just about vicariously experiencing destruction, you can live vicariously watching travel instagrams o people doing things that you love the idea of, while sitting on your couch
You guys are wonderful. You're very genuine in your assessments. I watch a lot of these reactions, and you guys are now one of my favorites
I just spent three hours binging your work. You have a new subscriber! Your insights into a plethora of genres is phenomenal. Thank you!
He's not talking about himself but about humans in general.
He is talking about society but he cops to being just as guilty
Man. You guys have become my favorite reaction channel. Y'all seem like good, genuine people. Nice reaction. Much love from San Diego California 🤘🤘
Absolutely loved the talk you had during this. Just came so natural and it made you think and share your views - not on the music but your views on humanity and your own human behavior!
The whole reaction was very well done, good job!
you all get a follow. Insightful, and you pull from real experience. Loved the video you two! Subbed!
That soon-to-be longed for comfort that we all take for granted won’t be around much longer though.
I love how Ol'dude is working stuff out in his head like.. "Do i like this...hmmm maybe..." and she be sitting next to him just straight vibing lmao. Love to see it.
Just discovered your channel cuz im a massive Tool fan. But instantly loved the two of you. So genuine and gorgeous too:)
Thanks for the great reaction! Love you reaction videos -especially the Tool ones. The song themes always generate great conversations between you two.
So I totally love this dynamic. Lex is clearly a natural born metalhead. No doubt about it. Brad is more into the analytical side of things. A really big chunk of metal is metaphor though, so you have to feel and think abstractly. It's a good balance I think. You guys are fun. You've done a ton of great stuff so far. Really makes you want to hang out with you guys and talk music. Keep it up!
This song changed my life. After hearing it, i never looked at TV and the news the same. I constantly catch myself being drawn to the dark parts of life and i remember this song and then decide to think consciously and focus on the good.
Lex you are so smart you give takes on music I have listened to for years, I never thought of. A true Genius, you make my recurimg listens to these songs more vivid
Schism should be your next Tool song imo. Super deep and I think it's right up your alley(s)
Goddammit you guys are rad! Love your first takes on these TOOL songs! Please keep em coming
This was fantastic! I loved how both of you always find your *meaning* to Tool. In that process, I get to learn about you, unfiltered.
Most sincerely, Michael.
Love your channel. Love your insights. Love watching Lex rock out lol 🤘🤟👍👊
And Brad, props to you for not pausing it when it came in... she might've socked you this time 🤣😂
You 2 are awesome! love the way you are open to branch out and explore different areas . Everyone should be like this to learn and grow in life. And as a man Brad's a cool dude I could hang out with and Lex is an absolute sweetheart!
Great insight guys! Love your channel
I've been waiting for you guys to do this song!!!!! AWESOME!!
love you guys and i love your hat and beanie!! enjoying the tool journey!!
I love how Lex gets all into the music! Its cool to see new Tool fans experience their art
Two live vids to check out are Sober and Pnuema drum cam. Sober is from their debut album and their first big song. Pnuema is off their most recent album and you’ll get the see Dany Carey aka “The Octupus” really get to show his skills.
Yeeeees I requested this of you, so glad you did it!!! I hope to see Lateralus in the near future aswell!! Great reaction, lots of fun! Love from Denmark
Those lyrics tho!!!! Who else write lyrics so well thought out?
Chris Cornell
Zakk De La Rocha
Chad Grey
You two get it and I probably said this before, but I love this song and I love watching you figure this out..and I think y’all hit the nail on the head.
Nice work. Keep Going.
So, I now watched this reaction, my eyes always cry when I'm listing to tool. Great reaction both of you are tool heads, metal heads. Keep on rocking on.
I like how insightful you two are and how well you work together. Keep up the great work, guys. Not easy to have a good, workable relationship these days, but you do it well-----and celebrate my favorite band in the process. Thank you.
Dudes like "Take me to Kreuger if you want!" While he's thinking 'you gonna watch me choke out a lion'. 😂
Lex, love watching you rock out to Tool.
Vicarious is one of my favorites!
Wow, you two are awesome. Instant subscribe. As a 30 year fan of the band, go see them live next year, it's a spiritual experience. Keep on keepin on
This is an awesome first experience of the song. You guys are great!
Damn Lex. You have great intuition.
Lex "I think for you , it's more like self destruct.." and Brad with the Sinister Laugh and Stare, love it.
As always Reaction 🔥💯
💀💀
Called out hard there, ha!
I love watching the groove dichotomy ❤️ 🤣 CouchGang!!
You gotta listen to “Aenema” from Tool, preferably the lyric version! Since you both lived in LA you will completely get it!!
Love to you both! ❤️❤️❤️
Lmao!🤣
It's true tho!
L.A...lol
See you down at Arizona Bay!
Learn to swim!!!
Probably two of the most likable people on UA-cam right here. Rock on.
Just wanted to say you two are awesome! Love from Australia!
Well done Brad..first go brother.. for me this song is in Tools all time top 5 songs.
Its reality demands more.
Definitely one of my favorites! Tool is so fucking different man 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate you guys and your honesty a lot. This is a great reaction channel.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
It’s so true. When there’s an accident on the highway everyone slows down to see
Tool has such a different sound. I could just listen to their instrumentals all day! Love the reaction!!!
"If it bleeds it leads" is a quote from William Randolph Hearst when in a media war with Joseph Pulitzer...food for thought.
You both look like your having a blast with reactions. Music everybody's joy😈🤘
Love your reactions!
What a song!!!
Love Tool, been a fan since the 90s. Greetings from Argentina!
Ayyy 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
Ayyy 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
I absolutely love Lex's analysis. Beautiful mind.
Whoohoo back with more Tool... Great reaction again!
Lex: I too play the sims 😂 I too make their lives a living hell 😂
“For you it’s more like self destructive stuff”
*glares* “hehuahahahaha” 😂
Really good reaction, I really enjoyed watching!
Thanks.
Lol! I moved to Florida in 2012 and still haven't seen a wild gator, and there are 5 ponds by my house.
You're at the same time hilarious and very clever and honnest in the way you react to the songs, see my name you can imagine that Tool is my favorite band and Vicarious my favorite song.
Love your smile too, a real pleasure to watch you videos thank you.
Ho, and of course I see you like breaking bad, so of course you are quite perfect :-)
This band is so educational you're going to learn so much on this journey . There is no other band like this one
You two are awesome. And deep.
Subscribed. Psyched to see you guys reacting to tool
I’m relatively new to your channel but I have quickly figured out just by the videos I have watched that Lex is a METAL HEAD !!!! And I love it !! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I love lex loving the complexity of this beautiful music.
Can't wait to see you 2 react to Right in Two! Your breakdown will probably be an hour long! Love your reactions!👍
Speaking of mma, this singer studied bjj and there is a video of him hip tossing a fan that jumped on stage and holding him in a rear naked choke while still singing.
I truly love watching you trying to "keep time" to a time that doesn't lend itself to a beat.
😅😅😆 right, i was wondering about that lol
Great job like always!
Lex when the beat kicks in is so pure
Yall done gone and done it! Down the rabbit hole you go. I knew Lex was going to go crazy on the drop!....🤘
I love watching you guys chat after these. This song is the perfect example of why I like this style of music. There is so much art in not only the instruments but the lyrics. So many layers. I would like to suggest a song that I think would make for a great discussion Bring Me the Horizon - Hospital for Souls. It’s a deep track from a record a couple years back but I think you guys would really enjoy the subject matter. Thanks for a great video!
