I watched them perform this live in DC. Yes, Maynard can still do that insane scream.
Oh, I did too! I’m from Baltimore. What a show
He did it in Philly not long ago as well
Even after the Rona?
@@richtigersoan Yeah, I saw them in march. It was more like 15 seconds but I can't blame him, it's gotta be hard on the vocal cords.
@@richtigersoan yes
The drop after “sinking deeper” I think is my favorite ever in history
🤘🤘🤘🤘
The release chill-drop after "choose to..." is the second favorite lol
Agreed. When I first heard that drop on release day, I went fucking ballistic in my car and almost drove off the road.
Best thing ever! Fucking love it!
@@Metrikon9000 I love that description 😂
The Grudge is also the album opener. Best one ever in their career in my opinion.
It’s my personal favorite song of theirs. It shows almost every aspect of what the band is capable of.
For me its a tough to choose between The Grudge and Vicarious. That being said Lateralus is my favorite album.
Vicarious is pretty awesome too…
@@chriscoote2690 Yes. I did not say it wasn't great too.
@@Nope-sq6dv Perfect explanation. I feel the same about this song, also my all-time favorite Tool song. It easily encapsulates Tool as a whole into a 6 and a half minute song. If anyone asks to define what the band Tool is, this song is the answer.
What a great song. The greatest band for the last 30 years
It's not even close, sorry it's not and I like other bands too. There are some shred technical prog bands, but how many of those have even decent lyrics, come on now be real. But Tool is the whole enchilada and everything on top. Maynard's genius lyrics and vocal delivery, Adam is so underrated, sick ass bass lines with the foundation laid by D'amour and now Justin put his stamp and signature...and of course Danny, yeah no, it's not close
Couldn't agree more my dude. I doubt we will ever see another band like Tool we have to enjoy it while they are here
I've seen them 14 times and am blown away every single time! I know people who only listened to rap gave me a hard time for liking them so much, then I convinced them to just sit and listen, they quickly became a part of the TooL Army after that.
JESUS DANNY!! 😆 🤣 I think that says it all, it's crazy how Danny can throw all those fills in at the end and so jumbled but goes together so well, how does he even count all those fills? It's mind blowing......
It's because an octopus tentacles each have their own mini brain.
Jesus Christ? Nah, it's Jesus Danny 😂.
intuition. he doesn’t use a click track. he just knows..
Nah, but it’s also about having trust in your band mates who are keeping different times, to synch up at the right time. they are always giving each other cues when performing live. you just have to look for them.
he told an interview its most difficult one
That scream embodies the release of a grudge so well. So much primal anger, emotional power and transformative catharsis in that scream.
precisely
Absolutely. It's one of the most cathartic and powerful musical moments I've ever heard in my life. "The Grudge" is by far one of the most powerful songs ever
Anyone else think that TOOL, & SOUNDGARDEN are the very best bands to have ever been? Just wandering if anyone else thinks/feels the same way I do.......
Those were some good not words. I just got a dictionary and a thesaurus so you're my inspiration to read them.
@@fyou2327 Username checks out. Yeah, I would recommend those books for sure.
The Patient, 3rd track on this album, I think is going to blow your mind again as far as Maynard, but the song itself, is beautiful. Definitely.
This ☝️ I nearly lost it when they played this one in Stockholm last week, one of my favorite songs for sure
@@dekadenser saw them in January in Anaheim CA. They played The Grudge followed by The patient and preceded by Pneuma. And that was the middle of the set. Tool concert set the bar for all others now.
My personal fav. It grew on me over the years.
One of my favs
@@dekadenser Hey, sometimes it's okay to lose it a little. 🤘
I've spent... two decades (geez) listening to and analysing Tool, but what i still don't understand is how they have such an impossibly high level of production while at the same time sounding under produced. It's just a rock band, it's just a singer, two guitars and drums and while there's effects and layers inserted it's really simple stuff, we're blown away by the complexity of the songs but it doesn't feel like it was scaled up in any way by the production.
All i can ever say about it is "some very clever and conscious people worked on this", nobody added something unnecessary, nobody ruined the mix, it's beautiful in its simplicity.
Damn. Probably the greatest opening track to any album ever… THE GRUDGE!!! I’ve listened to this track tens of thousands of times and the shit Maynard does with it gives me chills each and every single time.
This song has a different layer when heard live. Saw them in Vegas a few months ago and Maynard sounded better than ever. He even hit the scream at the end. Unbelievable.
I loved seeing this live TWICE this year within 1 week. I will never forget it!!!!!!
I was blown away seeing them in Manchester on Monday.
I saw them in Orlando in Feb and loved that they performed this.. Along with Opiate.. I wish I could of caught another show before their tour ended.
Saw them for the first time in March and I was absolutely blown away....
Same. Incredible 🔥🔥🔥
I saw them back in 2001 when they were still touring on this album. Changed my whole life.
Maynard's ultimate gritty vocal is Ticks & Leeches. After recording that song, his voice was never quite the same.
They’ve been playing this on the current tour. Saw them in January. Mind blowing as usual.
I saw them in January as well! First time for me. I'll never forget it.
One of the few earthly contexts where "mind blowing as usual" actually makes sense.
Absolutely. It was my 20th show. I still stand there and am amazed, and try to take it all in as much as I can.
PUSCIFER HUMBLING RIVER. SUBLIME harmonies with CARINA ROUND. 🤞✌️
Yes. And the LYRICS. Words to live by.
Great recommendations 👌
Humbling River is a MUST for her.
Part of the reason why the snare sounds so extra impactful at that point is because prior to that he had the snare wires disengaged. That gave it more of a high Tom sound. 👍🏽😁
It’s also custom made from Danny’s old symbols that where melted down and made a snare from them……
I think this was Tool firing on all cylinders, all four members stole the show at one point or another. Danny’s never been more dynamic, Adam was so incredibly expressive, Justin’s interlude between the intro and the verse was gorgeous, and this was Maynard’s most powerful performance.
26/4-2022 i sa TOOL live in Stockholm... And i was quite speechless after that, im never gonna see a band top that feeling and experience live ever again, unless i get to see them live again.
was there too, amazing. buy some primus tickets for september :)
@@ThomasLakso just seen Primus last Thursday and Tool in February!
"...Danny isn't going crazy with the drums, just that subtle tapping."
Oooooh I can't wait for that outro.
I love seeing more Tool on the channel. I would love to hear your reaction to Right in Two. The song gives me major vibes of an 80's German movie called Wings of Desire.
Added!
Need to check out the cover of Right in Two from Beard of Harmony!
ua-cam.com/video/6E1DkgUNfBc/v-deo.html
Hey, Luke. Being a German Tool fan, let me give you two criminally underrated German bands and their songs: 1. Die Schweißer - Scheisskind and 2. The Hirsch Effekt - Athesie. Listen. Then tell me what you think 😉
@@ralfkohler3671 I'll give them a listen. Thanks
"Right in Two" = Epic suggestion
I've probably commented this already but Tool, Meshuggah and Gojira are my top 3 bands and this channel is becoming my daily breakfast lmao
that makes me so happy
Are we separated at birth? 😁
25 seconds. That’s a 25 second scream and it feels like forever. Great stuff.
My all time favorite Tool song... This is my jam, what a great way to start an album.
🛠T⚙️⚙️L🛠 Army is growing 😉 Great track, I can’t wait 😛 Your beautiful smile will be prominent with this amazing experience 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Waited 20 years to see them play this one live -- and it finally came true in January! Can't wait to see your reaction to this gem!
Finally a reactor that understands if you read the Tool lyrics first you’ll have a greater appreciation of the song. After all we wouldn’t want her to have to listen to their songs for 30 years and never fully realize what the lyrics were, or what they meant, until this thing called UA-cam came along and You get to be reawakened by watching reactors and having the lyrics and true meanings of the songs revealed to you. It’s been an amazing experience. Great reaction ☺️ Spiral Out
I love the subtle sound at the beginning of the song like turning on a machine, it’s a perfect start to the Lateralus album, a complete epic journey from start to finish. Please check out live version of Pushit on Salival album, showcases MJK’s amazing vocals. Saturn returns full circle around 28 years, which is also around 10,000 days, very meaningful to us and personally to MJK. Loved the reaction ❤️
It's the sound of a movie projector, I think
I think it's supposed to be like the sound of a table saw, which is what the CD looks like, and Grudge is the first track.
I always thought it was an elevator, some of the electric ones sound a bit like that. But my theater of mind can be a bit crooked sometimes.
@@rockstardeath8558 I think it's an analog tape machine starting up. Given what Danny Carey has said what the drum solo is laid over in Faaip de Oiad, it kind of bookends the album in a neat way.
For those who don't know, in a 2001 issue of Modern Drummer magazine Danny Carey gave an answer to a question about the final track on Lateralus, "Faaip de Oiad", explaining that it was a "tape machine going down the tubes". If I understand correctly, he decided to press record, and it captured the sound of the end of the machine's life. Over which he played a drum solo, and overdubbed the Art Bell radio show excerpt of a guy who claimed to have worked in or around Area 51.
@@neonom1024 It's the "Matchmaker 500" from episode 2 of King of the Hill. No joke (except maybe being a callback to the cow picture in Undertow).
I cant wait for the day you react to the holy trinity, (disposition, reflection, triad.) It's basically 3 songs connected to each other, but no rush 😁 this one is worth being patient for (i recommend reacting to more tool songs before this one though, but that just be my dumb opinion lol)
Reflection is one of my favorite songs!!! I think Aileen will be swept away when she reacts to Parabol and Parabola which you HAVE TO react together just like wings and 10,000 days…
Stop asking people do do weird deep cuts. What’s next..?? Let me guess… Rosetta Stoned?
@@baconator1550 i hope not, i dont like that song lol but her reaction is always worth watching, so fuck it
Rosetta Stoned is amazing 😎
@@couyonuniversity96 I didn't like the song for years, but I have found that now I know the 'story' of the song and have listened to a lot more tool, it's become one of my favourites. The crescendo to the 'joke' in the song is one of my favourite tool moments of any song. Give it another go if you haven't listened to it recently 👍
Can't wait to see your reaction to this one. I've been a Tool fan since seeing them at the Reading Festival here in the UK way back in 1993 when I was only 20 years old. I was lucky enough to see them do this 2 nights ago here in the UK in Birmingham. First time I'd managed to see them live in 20 years since they toured for the "Lateralus" album and it was well worth the wait. Absolutely mind blowing live show. I've been to a lot of gigs and festivals over the last 35 years and seen a hell of a lot of bands in that time , but this was up there as one of the best shows I've ever been to. If you ever get chance to se them live, don't miss it!
I was blown away seeing them in Manchester on Monday. What a concert and Danny was beyond words.
Maynard is a lyrical genius…
I remember being in Gothenburg, Sweden on holiday only to, on the last day of my stay, see that they would perform there the next day. I was disappointed because I had recently discovered them but said that, hey, I'll catch them next time.
Then they took a 10-year hiatus.
After that hiatus, they finally released a new album in late 2019 - only for Covid to hit the world before I could see them.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO SEE THEM LIVE, GODDAMMIT!?!?!
Someday I'll get to see them.
They were just in Stockholm last week 😬 they are literally on the European leg of their tour right now, not too many shows left though…
Love how much low end there is in tool makes it sound so heavy
Man I still remember that magical moment when Maynard brought that scream back for their tour stop here in Utah. That arena was in pure aw. You definitely need to check them out live. Never forget when I 1st saw these guys live. It’s magic af lol
Saw them 3X. It's been 21 years but I'm still in awe. Always will be.
As you were mentioning the drums early in the song....all I could was smirk......This is the beginning of TooL emerging as the GOAT! The entire Lateralus album needs to be heard....it is the quint essential TooL
can't wait for this. personal favorite
David Bottril the genius audio engineer behind this album ,after the release of Lateralus someone was asking him ,what does it takes to make a great album like this ? the answer was very simple " you take your time and you have great musicians " period !!
Danny's also a great percussionist so tribal !!
I saw Tool 2 weeks ago and they are fantastic live, Maynard seemed a lot happier on stage than he has in the past, he even came forwards for a song. the Grudge Live is something special
This song is cosmic levels of badassery
hell yeah!!! more TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This whole album is off the charts in sound & production. Glad to see you use headphones. You can pick up little things that you wouldn't on just speakers!!
26 second scream.... oh yeah. The Remedy from his band Puscifer is a good one if you want to see a side of Maynard you wouldn't guess. Has some good humor also! 😍
Please do Lost key/Rosetta Stoned! Crazy goood song and has one of tool’s best bass lines in the middle of the song! Really powerful!
Love your reactions on TOOL! You are such a beautiful soul! ❤️
Yeah but she has to have the lyrics (not sure if she does that with every song, new sub - Tool Army!).
The scream live is a bit shorter now than 20 years ago, but still powerful as everything they do.
Your eyebrows are so expressive they do all the reacting when you are lost in the song. Love watching your reactions to these legends
I always interpreted "the scream" as representative of the pain and difficulty of letting go. It's necessary and worth it in the end, but painful during the process because of our resistance to letting things go. Fun fact: Maynard uses a lot of distortion when performing this live... he said if he always performed that scream and the song Ticks and Leeches the way he did in studio, he would destroy his singing voice while touring. Fair point haha. For further recommendations, two of their most popular songs, Stinkfist and Schism, are not only rock bangers, the lyrical metaphors are pretty incredible as well. Great reaction as always 👍
Give away the stone the stone
Let the ocean take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold
The metaphor of a grudge being a heavy burden; stone, lead and/or an anchor just weighing us down while FORGIVENESS is lush life-giving water and personifying these natural elements with verbs like "take" and "kiss" is an absolute master craft in lyrics. "Let the ocean take" exposes an optimistic truth that forgiveness is something that requires very little to no effort. To forgive is to GIVE IN to your inner most primal urges because we are naturally compassionate emotional beings. Holding a grudge is hard stressful work that yields NO reward.
It's so poetic it makes me tear up.
Love your reactions. So fun to see someone discover Tool. With the state of the world, Vicarious is a must. Right in Two hits deep. But do you! We are just here riding the spiral with you enjoying every second as you discover them.
Love watching new fans of Tool react to songs I've loved for many years; living vicariously, (pun intended), through them. Tool is more of an experience than a band; Spiral Out...
Great reaction! I love how thoroughly you immerse yourself with Tool.
One day you'll get to "Third Eye" and you'll be even more blown away.
Grudge is an awesome opening track that gets me all fired up! Lateralus album overall is just a masterpiece where I can listen just fall into a trance and get lost in it! I love these videos of people getting to experience what TOOL music is all about!
@2:46 i always picture Justin floating in space playing that echoing bass line, and then @2:58 a bloody space ship flys past, i always thought that went along well with the mention of Saturn, such an amazing band
I've seen Tool three times and each time this song blows me away.
That was THE BEST reaction to Maynard's TWENTY-FIVE SECOND scream I've seen yet. It's a monsters. You need to check out Aenema one of these days. That's a great example of Maynard just letting go with his grit and fury ...
I got to see them live for the first time a couple months ago and OH MY GOD this was so good live! I've been loving the Tool rabbit hole you're going down, keep it up!
It's amazing watching all of this unfold.
You have just begun to scratch the surface of Tool but the deeper you dig the further you'll be impressed.
I really enjoy your reactions and your ability to go along on the journey and experience with us !!!
I understand what you are saying about the other side of Maynard's stile.
He uses an almost dream like conversational sound in parts of this song.
This whole record is pure gold, and I can't wait for you to react to it all; not necessarily just because I want to see your reaction to this batch of songs, but so you can go off, on your own, and just dive into the whole, from start to finish. It's an absolute masterpiece. And just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any better, you discover there's an alternate track sequence for 'Lateralus' known as 'The Holy Gift', where the track listing follows a form of the fibonacci sequence. This rabbit hole goes deep.. keep spiraling..
You might be one of the best and most insightful of the music reaction channels. I'm thinking about my favorite songs in a slightly new light thanks to you. And it's awesome to share the experience. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
The scream 😎
One of the most classic 5/4 pieces ever
Great track, drums are amazing 🙌✨ love your channel
10 seconds in I just subscribed.....tool is unique and the deepest band of my time.
🤘🤘🤘
Your reactions are becoming my favorite on UA-cam overall. Thank you for all the Tool reactions, too, because it's amazing to see someone discover something I've loved for 20 years. Spiral out.
Wow, thank you so much!
It perfectly correlates with your heartbeat at 73 - 74 bpm in the beginning.
Love seeing more Tool reactions! It’s impressive how much you process on the first listen. I’ll add the Salival version of Pushit to the many good recommendations you already have.
I just commented on the Danny Carey vid from Pneuma. But i have to repeat myself. I have tears of joy watching you react to Tool. It´s just great that i found your channel and somebody who appriaciate music so much.
i was like....what is that number over the album art?....And then i realized it was your pulse. This has to be one of the coolest things added to a reaction to music vid. I have been following TooL since they first came out. Some of their music makes me cry because its just so good. Good stuff. Keep doing your thing.
Look up "your saturn return" the first one comes when people are 27 years old, when most people tend to grow up. The 2nd when people are 54 years old and can trigger a midlife crisis.
"The Patient" next. Song of my life.
Yes! The Grudge! 💪🏽🤘🏽
Between the Bloodywood and Tool reactions you have such great music ahead of you to discover. Hope you enjoy the trip and great reaction as always. :)
Can't wait!
I just wanna say that I loved everything about this reaction and can't wait for more Tool on this channel
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much!
That’s why I love your reaction videos. I can relive my awe and amazement thru your eyes and expression. Though, Tool really just does that for me each time I listen. Their music never gets old. Never loses its edge. To me, Tool is a form of absolute universal musical expression that brings me to a higher state. I don’t think I could ever truly explain. Spiritual.
To me, in three of their videos now, it’s not complete until I hear, “Jesus Danny!” It’s by far the deepest, smartest and sexiest thing you can say!
Ahhh! The power of music to, like a wormhole, transport you back in time to re-experience memories in vivid ways.
We love your reactions; hope to see more Tool's one in the Future...
Can't wait! 🌀👁🧘🏻♂️🙌🏼
It only gets better and never gets old. So much to love about Tool. Maynard's lyrics, his vocals, Danny's ability to make the drums not just keep the rhythm but become a focus of the music, Adam's textual guitar, Justin's bass no words can express. I'm 50 and Tool had been THE BAND for 29 of those years. The Grudge, for me, reminds me of one of my favorite Buddhist quotes..."Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else's; you are the one who gets burned."...Let go of negative energy and grudges or like a stone it will Dead you to the bottom. And as we know from Tool...."Shit adds up at the bottom."
Got to see them play this gem live last week, it was mindblowing 🤘
Everyone loved the 25 second scream, I saw them in Feb and they played this, Maynard still could scream a strong 13 second one.
"Jesus Danny" LOL. I love it. I've seen Tool live about 5 or 6 times. I've stood in different places but standing right next to the sound mixing stage(where they hear and mix the sound) gave me massive eargasms. So good lol
Literally Just saw them play here in Dublin! awesome show!
Danny has the snare off. He has the snare off in a majority of tool songs. Most people don’t realize this or even know what that means. I think it’s a kind of like a signature.
I saw them play this live in Manchester UK on Monday.
Yayyyyy, love this track for this very reason. :D
That was a very good song. Even though I know this band for a long time, that's my first time listening to any of theirs songs. And I enjoyed it a lot. And thank you for reaction.
30yrs ago is when I first heard Tool and I was hooked.
Was one of the only carib kids in school that was listening to Tool. Everyone one thought I was Nuts.
Guess what They became one of thee best bands in the World we Call Earth.
This song..👌 was my best song of all time for a decade! Tx for the react 🤟
That's Tool, always pulling at emotions, I saw it in your face. 🤘
first reactor i’ve seen to love that snare hit as much as me
I love watching reactors falling in love with Tool. It happens like 100% of the time. 🖤 You should check out Pushit, both studio and the live version. They did 2 totally different renditions of the same song, (both are captivating) An unrelated suggestion would be Radiohead, just as a contradiction from your heavier stuff, & since your a vocalist. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing your channel grow!🖤
thank you for your heartfelt comments and analysis... I have no words to discribe howmuch tool touches me to the core... being not an 'average' person myself, I too have had my fair share of bias and judgemental dumbness.... keep it up!!! greetz from Belgium
Loved watching you repeat Maynard singing. It's crazy how he can scream so long. Good reaction.
"Jesus Danny"
I love it. 😂
This is the greatest song ever.
Your comment about where Maynard sits in the mix is spot on. The whole album is a masterpiece of mixing. Its what I hold all other albums to when it comes to heavier music.
I saw them play in Melbourne just after that album came out. They opened with this song and I was waiting for it. He went for it and hit that scream! What a band! Unbelievable!
Watched many a reaction to this song, and I can always find exactly where the screen is by scrolling along the preview bar and finding where the eyebrows are 3" higher than normal.
This song is absolutely amazing, on of my favourites from them.
Listen to the humbling river from puscifer if you love Maynard. He sounds great in that song
this is my favorite song on my favorite album by my favorite band ❤
Love your reactions!! AND THAT SNARE?!?!?!?!?! Fuggen popssssssss lol Keep rockin!
Appreciate it!!
