Tools timing is like fine art...you need to step back to see the big picture! They use Polyrhythms...everyone is playing something different but together its a work of art. Tool is a "feel" band and they have a lot of odd timing. Once you hear these songs a few times you will catch an overall rhythm. You wanna take a journey? Hit up "Invincible". But honestly, they have no bad songs bro! Tool army is here for you! Spiral out...keep going! 🌀👁
I find it entertaining when people that only have heard 4/4 time their entire life then are introduced to TOOL. Should be fun as he continues the journey and growth with these masters of music.
@@ethanburgess3475 Justin was a main reason I got myself a bass, after playing guitar for 14 years. Nothing beats playing Tool bass lines... Such a fulfilling thing to do.
@@Rovalowy he is the best bassist ever, next to geddy lee and lesclay pool. Justin is so unique and same here man, I picked up a bass cause of him. Nobody has his tone, I have never heard a bass sound so punchy and rich with midrange. I strive to own a wal someday.
@@ethanburgess3475 Same here, was studying the tone for years now. If it wasn't for money, I would go and get myself all the effects straight away. So chunky, forward and punchy at the same time, damn man, its a dream...
You are not tripping. Tool is famous for it's meter changes in thier songs. And since you like bass and drums, there is a video of Danny Carey on drums playing Pneuma from thier latest album. It's worth a reaction of it's own.
Definitely watch the live Pnuema video from Vic Firth. Also, if you'd like your mind blown even more, Rick Beato did an interview with Danny and Danny says he plays live and in studio with no metronome/tick in his monitors because it'd be too hard to program.
The guitar part .. Adam was using a "Talk Box". Peter Frampton used it back in the '70's. So you were actually correct, he was able to control the sound using his voice. A talk box (also spelled talkbox and talk-box) is an effects unit that allows musicians to modify the sound of a musical instrument by shaping the frequency content of the sound and to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto the sounds of the instrument.
Yes, the talk box is an old trick been done to Death . It was a bit passé, but Adam Jones had the last word and absolutely perfected it ! almost like those other attempts were leading up to that precise point in time!
No way. This is a banger and its a good intro for folks who probably couldn't listen to the longer songs that have long build ups. This is a good one IMO
watch it with 'The Gloaming' I used to fall asleep every night in Iraq to Intension and than to Right In Two. When I was married, i would put my wife to sleep with that track on low and I have seen so much in this world now hahahaha. Tool is a trip. Life is a trip. This is awesome that someone else loves that track as much as me.
TOOL changed my life each song resonated differently at different points in my life. I subscribed thanks to your second reaction. I will be here for any future TOOL. Most intelligent band I know of.
Once I had an out of body experience while listening to this song on LSD, I saw the entire history of the universe but in reverse. On another trip Pnuema blasted me through the universe and gave me a glimpse of heaven. Both times it was only a couple of seconds but left me mind blown and speechless. Tool is the real deal, their music is something very special
I took a few hits last week and listened to pneuma and it literally felt like I was transcending from my body. They're music is fucking phenomenal and really on a whole different level then most if not all other music lol
I lost it when he said “I don’t wanna look slow in front of the tool homies, you just got here”😂instant like and sub lol you’re good bro. Don’t stress about not catching the beat right away, it’ll take a few listens but I promise it gets better the more you hear it. If you wanna stick with this album you should do ‘Right in Two’ next. You’ll see a different side of them that’ll ease you back in before getting to the crazier tracks. Enjoy this journey my friend!
Yea if you're a simpleton like most of us used to a 4/4 tools time signatures don't line up with the expected changes. I've listened to tool since the 90s, despite not being able to keep time i intrinsically know when the various changes happen by brute force of listening to them so long.
welcome to 6/8 and 7/8 and 9/8 time signatures. They are fun but also takes years to get down to an understanding. Tool is the meme of its not music its math
So you are half right. That was the guitar you were hearing, and also the guitar player using a talk box. He is able to manipulate the sound of the guitar by a device that is attached to his microphone, and he places in his mouth and literally talks. If you want to see two really good examples of this, check out Petwr Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do" and Scorpions "The Zoo" live in Berlin. As a huge Tool fan (favorite band) I would say go back and do something from one of their earlier albums next, as their is a definite progression to their music. Stinkfist or Sober, or possibly 46 & 2 or Ænema.
If you listen to it alot, even if you're not really musically inclined to keep time, you kinda learn/feel the odd time signaturs and know when the change ups come. This is coming from a 30 year tool fan with no real musical training
Hooker with a penis. The name alone sets back a lot of folks who do these reaction videos, until they listen to how great the song is and if they read the lyrics
Tool often doesn't have a steady beat, but a constant flow like a raging river. Each moment feels chaotic, but as a whole, there is perfect continuity.
It's effing hilarious your reaction made the odd time signature A LOT more pronounced and awkward than it otherwise would have. I was laughing this whole time. Fun reaction!
Jambi is slightly more progressive in time signatures and methods than The Pot - so you did very well to love this for what it is, it's a wonderful Tool track, and the Bass and Drums kick ass on this thing!
TOOL is one of my fav bands, seen them twice in concert so far. I find it's best to just sit back and enjoy the journey because it'll take you for ride.
You ain't tripping, that's is the Danny Carey and his one of a kind time signatures. Your just getting started in the catalog!!! Go to the beginning when you have time to. 1993 and start with their first album Undertow and work your way forward and hear their progression, enjoy brother, this trip is a great ride!!!
The guitar part that sounded like a voice is being fed through a vocoder or talk box, the guitar signal is connected to a box that is attached to a tube that goes into the guitarist’s mouth to modulate the sound.
7:14 "My head nod hella off"... lol... we feel you... welcome aboard friend, fully jealous you get to listen to it for the first time, wish I could go back... spiral out!
“Am I tripping” …. No but you should be… especially for the Lateralus album and the Fear innoculum album lol…. Check out right in two next… easy but great lyrics and a middle section that represents war from sticks and stones up through Nuclear… with instruments !!!!!
11:13 That effect comes from something called a talk box. The guitar goes from the amp into a pedal with a tiny speaker inside hooked up to a long plastic tube. The tube runs up the mic stand and goes in your mouth, then you can "talk" and mouth movements affect the sound.
I grew up in Miami in the 80s/90s and listened only to hip hop (2 live crew, Uncle luke, 95 South, and all that shit is that a 13 year old probably shouldn't of listened to) and thought white music was corny. Then I moved to a white ass country town in Massachusetts when i was 15 and had to kinda try assimilate, slowly started listening to more "white" music (rock, metal, alternative, grunge) but when i heard tool for the first time, some shit clicked and i became a tool fan ever since. One thing i learned is having to be open minded when you move to new place that is totally different than where you came from. I remember saying i hate country (still kinda do), but dolly Parton here I am wrecked me. Chris Stapleton and a few others I've enjoyed. I'm rambling reminiscing about how my taste in music has changed over time and tool (Metallica, Megadeth) were catalysts
Greetings from Canada. Crept in? Like the cat crept in, crapped, crept out. (joke from the 1940s). But I LOVE the bass too. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
The Pot was just your icebreaker lol. You're not tripping - they are known for wacky time signatures and long songs that usually require multiple listens. You really really need to watch the Pneuma live drum cam. And 46 and 2.
I hope you got to see them live. I've been going from small local shows to large concerts for well over 30 years now. One of the greatest experiences in my life was seeing Tool live. This song is amazing live. Nobody does a live performance like Tool.
2:43 yes! That look! Now you're in the spiral brother! Keep on coming down with us! Watch the pneuma drum-cam video to blow your mind a bit more before you go deeper in this marvelous rabbit hole! Love your energy brother!
My favorite part about Tool is that every member if the band has a solo. My other favorite part of Tool that they all play them at the same time. Its 3 wizards and an octopus doing what they do best
For the solo, guitarist Adam Jones used a talk box. This is a device with a tube going to the microphone stand, where he chews the end in different mouth shapes, to channel different kinda vocal sounds through the guitar sound
I love watching you react to Tool. I love the appreciation you hold for their music. I have been a Tool fan since 1993 (shows my age lol) also I love your positive affirmations in each of your videos.
Everyone with the same stank face at the drop. Also love him getting his first taste of not being able to find the beat haha, some of them you just can't Bob to. Most people Bob for a bit then just end up stopping and listening. They do it on purpose to get you to pay attention.
Tool songs don't let you off easy. You don't get to lean back and just coast. You get challenged, tossed around, and left free falling in pure sound. That's their unique magic.
"oh shit that's the guitar solo! Y'all gonna get me!" Yo you're killing me!! Enjoy this spiral and remember to breathe. Pneuma drum cam is jaw dropping also
Let go of everything that you know about music and the way it’s written. You are on another level with Tool. It’s a journey and not something you can tap your foot or bob your head to. These are 4 geniuses in one band. There is not going back to the old you brother. Keep riding that spiral 🌀
rock on, man! not sure if you make music or not, but as a musician it blows my mind how these guys compose these looong intricate songs, and then not only that but perform them live pretty much flawlessly night after night.
Learn how to tap out measures of 8th notes instead of 4/4 time. They rarely do 4/4 time. For instance, 8/8 may seem like its just 4/4 in 8th notes but it can be clapped out 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2 -- they commonly switch between 3/8 5/8 6/8 7/8/ 8/8 and 9/8 in most songs. Makes it hard to sway and dance to. :)
Watching your reaction I was dying and was gonna comment any polyrhythms but my comrades have me covered in the other comments. Love your reaction. I was every bit as mystified as you when it came out. Absolutely love it. Keep going!
This is my 4th reaction video watching you and I gotta say... its humbling seeing new people open their 3rd eye and spiral out !! Believe it or not, they're as good, if not better live !!
diving into Tool from the middle of their catalog is intense im glad im old and got to start from Opiate and enjoy the progression insanely talented band 🤘🤘🤘enjoy the ride Sir
Welcome to the world of Poly-Rhythm.... I would say this song is more in the "intermediate" lvl of TOOL 's work, and there ARE lvls... If ya like that funky bass and great hook i recommend 46+2, one of my personal favorites
Welcome to the journey that is Tool. Just sit back and listen. You will be impressed with Maynard's vocals and the way they come together. My favorite band!!!
The crazy guitar sound was with a tube that guitarist uses in his mouth and uses a microphone to capture the sound. You could check out Peter Frampton who made it famous with a song called, Do you feel like we do. From Frampton comes alive album
10:46 - Lots of wah pedal (though it sounds more like vocoder toward the end - ie. Adam might be mouthing vowel sounds into the microphone and feeding that back in as a modulation source).
Love watching people discover the insane genius of Tool's timing. How most of it should absolutely not work together but the sum of the parts is so much greater than the whole
Their songs are movies, they are all about building emotion through dynamics and taking you on a sonic journey. You are taken from what seems to be a repetitive beat/riff and they keep fucking with it in different time signatures and taking the themes of the melody/rhythms and exploring the different emotional states of those riffs, leading to a big climax in what would be”act 3” and bringing you home bringing in a simpler familiar riff that was somewhere in the intro. Their songs are like Plato’s Hero Journey. They take you somewhere special.
Watching someone deal with Tool rythms the same way I did the first time hearing some Tool songs is great lmao Crazy to think the first time I remember hearing a Tool song was literally 20 years ago and I've been a fan ever since. By the time I first heard them they'd already been around for nearly a decade or something too.
"Am I trippin" is actually the correct answer when listening to tool.
Sometimes it seems like tool would be easier to follow if you were
It do be like that.
@@theziggy1342to be fair, it do be fun to listen to high lmao
Wait until he finds their official music videos. :)

Lol, it was hilarious watching him try to count the time signature.
100 songs of 11/12 or 5/5/6 or even Fibonacci. That’s Tool.
Amen, been a fan since 96
I find it entertaining when people that only have heard 4/4 time their entire life then are introduced to TOOL. Should be fun as he continues the journey and growth with these masters of music.
It’s really like a symphony.
If you're a bass and drums guy, then you're in the right place. Nobody does it better than TOOL!
This man needs some Schism in his life.
Chancellors wal is amazing

Please watch the Pneuma LIVE DRUM CAM Danny Carey 🐙 🔥
Came here to say the same.
Dude, watching this guy try to bob his head to this was hilarious. You want him to watch Pneuma??! He'll be all sorts of confused.
That’s no motorcycle, that’s the 🐙 in his natural habitat 😉👊
Lmao 😂
Going to watch it in its natural habitat next week, super stoked. Seen it fling its tentacles 2019, was an experience
Yes!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌💯❤️🔥
But it does sound like a motorcycle I've always loved that about it!

Also Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh and many more songs.. The funk band the Meters used it and many more 😊
And Bon Jovi
Love it
Well Peter Frampton helped Adam get his talk box all set up.
Yes, the talk box is an old trick been done to Death . It was a bit passé, but Adam Jones had the last word and absolutely perfected it ! almost like those other attempts were leading up to that precise point in time!
I would give anything to hear Tool for the first time again. Bravo sir.
Digging the TOOL reactions so far. Can't wait for you to check out the Danny Carey drum cam live version of Pneuma!
Welcome to the Spiral. You will be in good company. TOOL is rewiring your brain in real time.
🎉
Tool army did you dirty suggesting this as the next song to listen to😂. like going from the kiddiepool to the deep end
This might be the best reaction comment I've ever read !
No way. This is a banger and its a good intro for folks who probably couldn't listen to the longer songs that have long build ups. This is a good one IMO
@@shaid153right! Rosetta Stoned or Third Eye would be thrown into the undertow 😂

I would go now with Right in Two, it's my favourite Tool track, and is such a beautiful thing.
check out Right in Two by Beard of Harmony (cover) you wont be disappointed)
watch it with 'The Gloaming' I used to fall asleep every night in Iraq to Intension and than to Right In Two. When I was married, i would put my wife to sleep with that track on low and I have seen so much in this world now hahahaha. Tool is a trip. Life is a trip.

It’s a beauty but I feel like he needs to react to some of their older stuff before he can really appreciate just how beautiful it is.
@@xXMr.WiGGleZzXxOne of the best covers of any song by any band ever.
Right in two needs to be listened to with the video attached to it. If you were not awakened after that, I don’t know what will.

The earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, and you existed the same time as Tool.
4.5 billi...lmfao😂
Yup. You caught it. It has different time signatures. Gotta appreciate it for the unique art it is.
Best part is time stamp 4.04 he's trying to figure beat out but realized there is no discernable time signature. Welcome to Tool And Danny Carey.

The guitar sound is created playing the sound through the mouth, the artist Peter Frampton was famous for it back in the 70’s
Yes, the Talk Box!
Joe Walsh helped Adam Jones build the talkbox for this track-album
Zapp and Roger also used the talk box.

Especially seeing them live 😂 most of the crowd ends up just swaying back and forth
In your vid at 11:06 when you’re asking if it was a guitar in the solo, yes. Adam Jones is using a talk box that gives it that effect.
Tool songs don't let you off easy. You don't get to lean back and just coast. You get challenged, tossed around, and left free falling in pure sound. That's their unique magic.

Yes, a guitar effect known as a Talkbox. It's been around a long time. Peter Frampton used it in the 70s. Look up his song "Do you Feel like I Do".

Watching your reaction I was dying and was gonna comment any polyrhythms but my comrades have me covered in the other comments. Love your reaction. I was every bit as mystified as you when it came out. Absolutely love it. Keep going!
This is my 4th reaction video watching you and I gotta say... its humbling seeing new people open their 3rd eye and spiral out !!
Believe it or not, they're as good, if not better live !!
Tool changes time a lot. Been listening to them since the early 90s and they still hit just as hard 30 years later.
diving into Tool from the middle of their catalog is intense
im glad im old and got to start from Opiate and enjoy the progression
insanely talented band 🤘🤘🤘enjoy the ride Sir
@7:39, the beauty of Tool is that anywhere you hear the "1" will be occasionally right. I just get to enjoy those moments that much more
This is the funniest shit I’ve heard all day. Great reaction. Keep it up.
Welcome to the world of Poly-Rhythm.... I would say this song is more in the "intermediate" lvl of TOOL 's work, and there ARE lvls... If ya like that funky bass and great hook i recommend 46+2, one of my personal favorites
Welcome to the journey that is Tool. Just sit back and listen. You will be impressed with Maynard's vocals and the way they come together. My favorite band!!!
You have to do Judith by A Perfect Circle, one of Maynard’s other bands.
The crazy guitar sound was with a tube that guitarist uses in his mouth and uses a microphone to capture the sound. You could check out Peter Frampton who made it famous with a song called, Do you feel like we do. From Frampton comes alive album
Talkbox!
Well we certainly got an honest reaction! 🤘
Welcome to the Tool army.....spiral out
You jumped into the deep end with these 2 songs. Welcome, the waters warm. The TooL Army will lift you up, spiral out.
You ain't trippin bro. This is Tool. Check out Danny Carey live playing drums, song is called pneuma
That needs to wait a few more songs bc that will blow his mind. With the masterpiece of a song
The pot is one of their more "easy" songs .. similar songs would be sober.. vicarious.. stinkfist .. the grudge.. but all there songs are good
Always a joy to see you! I cant catch the beat either 😂😂😂😂😂 you are not crazy.
That face when the bass kicked in!! Haha yes!!!
Dude soooo much more to explore when it comes to TOOL! Best musicians out there!
10:46 - Lots of wah pedal (though it sounds more like vocoder toward the end - ie. Adam might be mouthing vowel sounds into the microphone and feeding that back in as a modulation source).
Also the part near the end was a voice mod mixed with guitar. It’s used on this album a few times
Love watching people discover the insane genius of Tool's timing. How most of it should absolutely not work together but the sum of the parts is so much greater than the whole
You should listen to Right in Two!
Their songs are movies, they are all about building emotion through dynamics and taking you on a sonic journey. You are taken from what seems to be a repetitive beat/riff and they keep fucking with it in different time signatures and taking the themes of the melody/rhythms and exploring the different emotional states of those riffs, leading to a big climax in what would be”act 3” and bringing you home bringing in a simpler familiar riff that was somewhere in the intro. Their songs are like Plato’s Hero Journey. They take you somewhere special.
Watching someone deal with Tool rythms the same way I did the first time hearing some Tool songs is great lmao Crazy to think the first time I remember hearing a Tool song was literally 20 years ago and I've been a fan ever since. By the time I first heard them they'd already been around for nearly a decade or something too.
Looking forward to watching more of your Tool journey..
everyone’s already said all the things..
Tool Army 🌀
+1 for Pneuma drum cam reaction
Oh my lord! Jambi! We're all in for a treat today! WOOOOOOO HERE WE GOO!?
