- Hello Singderellos,
In this video, I react for the first time to the band Tool performing ‘Sober’. In this video, I analyse Maynard James Keenan's magnificent performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great.Tool is an absolutely iconic band, especially in the progressive rock / metal music scene and this will be one of many Tool songs I react to!

try this.... best you can find about tool and maynard live... Tool - Third Eye - (Salival video)
"He's the physical manifestation of his lyrics" is probably one of the best descriptors of a Maynard performance I've ever heard.
YES
The dude is definitely not a singer or a musician. The only appropriate description for him is a true artist. And not just a vocal artist. He is an audible, visual, physical and literal masterpiece. Definitely, as she said, the physical manifestation of his lyrics, but he also "becomes" the song that the band is performing.
"Such a mirroring of his soul".
Amen!
Accurate.
I can't believe it took seeing 30 reaction videos of this performance before I found someone that cried, which is the correct response.
One of, if not the, most honest, emotional and simultaneously technical, vocal teaching reactors on UA-cam.
thats why we love TheFairyVoiceMother. welcome
Amen to that
This song was written about a close friend who suffered drug addiction but while high his artwork found a very different level, it is a poem of both the torment and enlightenment the mind goes through when high and/or coming down, Maynard not only wished to vocally capture the torment of addiction but visually display it too, anyone who has seen a crack addict in real life may recognise the distinctive contortionist moves he displays... for many this is just a historic song for some this is a much deeper performance, a piece of art on another level just like his friend made.
Do u know the band personally??? I know this is the wikipedia backstory but come on, maybe lyrically written about said friend, but certainly not musically.
@@7empest262 one of the band did an interview back in the days, I recall reading it and yes maybe wiki may support that but I didn't get it from wiki, I grew up to music and have been in bands myself albeit local ones so music has a strong influence on me and I was in my late teens when Sober was out.
I can only say it is what I recollect of reading about the origins of the song and his strange moves, take it with a pinch of salt by all means but he did consider himself not only as a vocalist but an artist too.
As poetry it has a wider meaning. I've never been an addict but I can relate to the lyrics in many aspects, as a person with emotional, depressive issues.
He’s said that someone close could only write or perform while under the influence or at least needed it in their own mind to be creative musically. Needless to say Maynard wasn’t a fan of this.
Thank you for giving a shit why this song was written. It's not a fucking joke.
I’m a widowed mom with two boys, been on my own for a while now with the boys.. Tool was my boys father’s favorite band, especially this single, and I found his cd a couple weeks ago. It hurt bad, at the same time, it was beautiful.
"TOOL really prove the power of metal". Well damn. Coupled with in-depth vocal analysis, AND you demonstrate the techniques!? Colour me subbed. Not in a sexual way. Unless? Nono, just kidding. Unless?
Inappropriate joking aside, you've got yourself a subscriber, brilliant video.
As painful as it must be for you I'm glad you've still got that connection. It is a wondrously hurtful and beautiful song, just like life is and I wish you and your boys the best things in life
Sorry for your loss. I am highly reluctant to touch this for fear of harm on you, but will make an exception. They are a very deep feeling band in thought and highly technical. They rarely posted their lyrics if ever, they wanted their music interpreted by the individual listener. It is up to you to decide what they meant. In any case this is a very emotional song performed brilliantly. I too have an emotional link to it.
Son of a single mother. This hit a chord that immediately brought me to tears.
Tool eases the pain.
There are at least 50 reactions to this performance on UA-cam - this is by far the most insightful and sincere.
she is a Pro. she acts goofy but she is a master of her trade
I thought Tristan Paredes was pretty good as well.
Rebecca Vocal Athlete's is really good as well.
COMPLETELY AGREE! 💚💚
She's really good
The posture Maynard does in many live performances is amazing. To do those voices in those postures simply amazes me
seen tool last weekend. he still hits everything at 60 years old. maynard is one of a kind, will never get another one like him.
I can hear the distant sound of the Tool Army approaching...
One of the finest live performances, just so captivating to watch and listen to. Gets me every time.
The microtones of the guitar just set your nerves on edge too...and the pounding drums feel like your chest is about to burst.
Lol. Yes. They will come in droves now. It makes me think of Field of Dreams. “If you react to it, they will come.”
@@wooshbait36 wait, what?! Please tell me your carer knows you are on the internet.
@@wooshbait36 sorry, i dont have time, nor crayons, to explain it to you.
@@wooshbait36 Not true. He isn’t on drugs. He’s never been a druggie. The song is about a friend of theirs that convinced himself that he couldn’t be artistic without being under the influence. Learn more and educate yourself about the topic before you post online, or you undoubtedly make yourself look bad.
@@wooshbait36 To each, their own. Haha
Tool will tear your soul out, then put it back together. The best!
I have always agreed with the idea that his posture is part of the performance, evoking an addict in the throes of withdrawal.
Also, with Maynard's anxiety issues, he usually picks a point or person he feels comfortable looking at on stage... imagine being the person he stared at as he belted out this song, eyes just boring through you.
Maybe check out A Perfect Circle, Judith.
The first time I saw the video for this song, it shook me to the core. I am a recovering alcoholic and addict, and this song embodies the pain of addiction. It is an incredibly powerful song, and I loved your reaction. Maynard is out of this world talented.
maynard is an amazing performer with unbelievble vocal abilities ,46 and 2 is my favorite song by tool you should react to that ......
This performance will always give me goosebumps and bring me to tears, no matter how many teams i rewatch it.
Truly a masterpiece that hits really deep!
Now THAT'S what music is supposed to do to us. Your tears showed Maynard was able to connect YOU to the song through himself and in doing so, feel his pain. BRAVO...well done.
I bought my first Tool CD many moons ago and as I was driving home listening to it I started to cry. I couldn't understand every word (at the time) but the meaning and emotion was conveyed perfectly. MJK is kind of a miracle; in that he shares himself, his ideas, his thoughts, and his memories by creating a bridge from his pain to ours. It is a unique language shared by souls.
It's always nice hearing about new people getting into bands that have been around making awesome music for awhile. I hope you enjoy the rest of their music as well, although.... if it makes you cry, you may not want to listen to it the first time while driving.
One of the best reactions of Sober live ever!! As a huge Tool fan, I got emotional along with you! And your breakdown of the music as a whole was intelligent and authentic! Great job!! Hugs!❤️
"Authentic expression [...] is essential to comprise a good vocal performance" - no truer words have ever been spoken. This is why artists like Maynard, Yebba and Aurora will always reach in and grab you by the .. uh.. vulnerables and hit you right in the feels, whereas a technically perfect performer like Dimash might not.
Oh man....So I was just finishing my 6 year degree in University when a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go to a metal concert to see Maynard. I was already in the car honking the horn, like "Duh, yea of course I want to f'ing go, lets move!"
I never, in my wildest dreams thought we'd be witnessing history. I personally feel, this is Maynards best performance ever. It's like he tapped into the old gods and personified Cthulu on stage. His stare literally melted brains in the first 3 rows and his vocals drove the rest of us into insanity. I think the term I am looking for is visceral. I literally stood there just staring at the stage for I dont know how long afterwards. Could have been 5 minutes, could have been 15 *shrug*, trying to comprehend what I had just witnessed.
It was one of the most intense performances I've witnessed until I went to see Nightwish at Wacken 2013.
Luv your work miss, and taking it this far back that only those of us old geezers would have seen it live is just heart warming. Dont let the greats die, keep us all alive in your reactions !!
At 6:48, The Fairy Voice Mother arrives at the second verse and Maynard reaches out and touches her. She gets it. Never gets old watching Tool rip ppl to their emotional core.
The vulnerability, compassion, and emotion, combined with the expertise, technical knowledge, and talent you bring to this channel is mind boggling. I would rather watch you reacting to a song than the actual video of the song. Thank you for coming to me at a time in my life that I desperately needed you. You have so much to offer the world. Thank you!!!!
Love the editing too. You have a much higher calling.
Agree 100% with everything in this comment. Thank you #4FF and Thank you Lolli !!
Hate it took me a year to find this comment...Very well put and I would 100% agree! Best music related channel I've seen!
Fairy voice mother is literally on the verge of tears as she absorbs Maynard’s lyrics and voice. I was the same upon hearing this for the first time. Respect to you both both 🙏
I'm a big reaction video junkie and have seen hundreds of them, if not thousands. this one is my favorite so far. that says a lot, considering that the ones I watch the most are of unsuspecting folks reacting to the disturbing extreme metal that I listen to daily.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I feel exposed when hearing these lyrics, they cut deep, like a knife to the soul… and for some odd reason, I find comfort in the pain. Maynard is a true genius!
A transcendent performance, indeed
Just seen tool a couple months ago. Maynard is one of a kind.
I have been all over the world watching tool and the amount of energy they push out is insane love them so much.
Desperation is pretty much the best summation of this song, and the performance is just artistry.
Omg! I could listen to her talk for days!
They are so much better live then the studio recordings, not necessarily because they play differently but rather because you can see the embodiment of their music as they preform. The human connection is stronger live. I've only been able to see them once at Coachella in 2006 right before 10000 Days came out and it is still the best live show I've ever been to. See them live, and if you haven't already check out Maynard's side projects A Perfect Circle and the group Puscifer. Both are incredible in their own right 💗
Puscifer is great
I accidentally found your channel. But I can't help but say - you are unrealistically beautiful and charismatic. I just fell in love with your emotions. thank you!
This performance is one of the great, high art, masterpieces of all time. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite reactions ever.
what a great energy you have. do see tool live. it is spiritual.
Judith-A Perfect Circle.thnx for the excellent review FGM.
this is why i watch your channel... and i wish i had you for a vocal coach... you get it......... and thats all that needs to be said..... ty for reacting ........ to EVERYTHING.......... ty... peace✌😎
I've been listening to Tool since the 90s when I was something like 11ish yrs old and has become a soundtrack to my life.... The older I get the more of an emotional reaction I get. So many of the songs have my eyes well up... U can physically feel the meaning of the lyrics
Thanks, always love TOOL!
His body language is everything in this vid
Your analysis of tracks/musicians is far-and-away the best I’ve seen on the internet. You’re absolutely brilliant.
Very emotional reaction... one of my favorite bands of all time
I love the way she enjoys a new music for her, and the train of feelings she find.
If I could like this video 100 times, I would... best analysis ever
Love when you sang a few lines from the song, powerful and gritty with control (y)
We need more tool reactions
Probably the best reaction I have ever seen. It was genuine and you saw the raw talent of the song, the artist, and the art in it. Best thing I have seen in a long time. This song I have listened to for almost 30 years and it still brings tears to my eyes. Simply spectacular!
Wow, your empathy is almost palpable. You are fascinating! Please continue.
Probably the best music live recording of all time.
I just saw them live a few months ago. O.m.f.g. they are seriously SO good. Especially at their age.
He is an amazing and passionate singer and I am waiting to here your thoughts on him and the band.
Best reaction to this video.
Beutiful passion coming from u I could feel it 🙏🏻
I think the aspect I enjoyed the most about watching this reaction, above all the other multitudes of reaction vids I’ve consumed, is seeing the genuine emotion of a fan seeing a live Tool performance for the first time and re-living those exact memories and feelings of my first Tool concert. There’s the excitement, almost-childish giddiness, emotional connection to the point of being overwhelmed to tears for no real reason at all other than being part of the communal sense of awe and release of energy, and then pure appreciation and thankfulness.
The first time I saw this performance it floored me. I've been a tool fan for a long time but omfg this... It still leaves me speechless.
Another Tool masterpiece.
I was watching reactions and all the other ones just passed me off. You're amazing and thank u for this video. Sorry just love Maynard
I am thrilled to find that you enjoy Tool...their performances have changed dramatically through the years...to see more of Maynard in the present, I might suggest something from Puscifer...that way you can also get a taste of Carina Round's phenomenal voice. Anyway, adore your reactions, you always make me smile...thank you!
I second the Puscifer/Carina nomination. Everyone should have the pleasure of hearing them.
Hi Lucas.
@@lucash8234 hello there
Step further down the rabbit hole. Listen to Carina's solo work. She's so underrated. I don't think a "reactor" has given her a chance yet. "On Leaving", "Let it Fall", "Slow Motion Addict", "Do You", "For Everything a Reason", you can't miss. She has a vast range of styles from heavier like "Sober" to very emotive like "10,000 days". I will say keep Tool in mind though, remember we didn't fall in love with every song on first listen, and some felt like they took forever to finally build to the good part. "On Leaving" is a good example of that, beginning is a bit slow, but about half way in you get slapped in the face and you can't stop grooving.
I've seen every Tool tour they've done here in the USA including the first in 1992 and they just get better like fine wine. You should do more Tool!
I've seen them many many times over the years, most recently earlier this year in Tampa Florida. I was fully prepared to be very forgiving as a listener, as the band members aren't exactly 25 years old anymore. I was excited for sure, but made sure I tempered my expectations ahead of time. Then they performed Hooker with a Penis. To say that I was silly for thinking I needed to give them an OUNCE of forgiveness was an understatement. Maynard, Danny, Adam, and Justin were utterly flawless, and it was up there with the best performance I have ever seen in my life.
So your comment rang very true with me.
Metal semester?!?!?! How glorious :-). Great job on this reaction!
The TOOL army requests MORE TOOL please!!!
Finally someone who understands the genius of it all. Love your channel. I could not wait to see your reaction due to your singing ability and and knowledge of music and anatomy. Not just a hollow mindless reaction. Love ya love the glasses.
Tool is the best band on the planet. You might have just become my absolute favorite.
I have the same reaction as u did when u started to tear up. Everytime i watch this i cant help it.
Lol, my youngest daughter was actually an 11 pound, 2 oz newborn.
I really enjoy your analyses, this one is excellent as usual!
They were just in London on May 9th and 10th. I hope you got the chance to see them. I went to the gig on the 9th and it was spectacular.
I have been to seven Tool concerts.All of them were great.Great is no exaggeration. Mind blowing. In all of those shows,I've seen Maynard's face exactly zero times.
Think I should go to an APC concert.Keep rocking.🤟✌🤙🖖
Subscribed as I cried along with you through this reaction video...... even though I'm 49 years old and have been a TOOL fan since 1989!
Can't wait to follow your journey with hopefully more TOOL reaction videos 😎
PUSHIT live performance from the SALIVAL Album will have you on another planet and ruin all understanding of music as you know it 😮
This video thrills me, really! Joy, emotion, knowledge and pedagogic! You’ve got it all!
watching your reaction is what i imagine i look like everytime i watch this performance. and ive seen them live 14 times.
I started tearing up right before you did.... and I have watched this live performance at least 20 times. Loved your reaction.
The observation of his sharpness is so good. It feels like he's barely in control which just reinforces the meaning of the song. You are tremendously good at this!
Thank you
Best depiction of tool by a vocal coach Ive seen yet
He still performs like this by the way. We just saw them play and he was constantly hunched over like gollum in the shadows the whole time. It’s quite incredible to witness.
He sounds just great hunched over
I've watched as many vocal coach reactions to this performance as I can find and many of them are great but yours is without question, the best. You're very sincere. Cheers!
I adore you and your reactions. I always leave with a smile. Thank you for being you. 🙂🐾
This song represents myself too much and it makes me cry almost every time I hear it
3:52 i immediately did a posture check on myself and sat up right in my chair. Thank you
Keep coming back to this video, still probably the best reaction to this song, which has hundreds now.... well done.
Well this was a passionate, vulnerable and rather excellent video
Great! I watched this earlier with you live, and I now get to enjoy it all over again! Yippee 🥳
Ty! Fascinating as always 👍
absolutely fantastic video...ive seen many vocal coaches react to this video, but i must say that your reaction and breakdown are by far the COOLEST ive seen....great job
Thanks for more stellar commentary… spot-on, as usual. ❤️
Great analysis of an amazing musician. And as always, I love seeing and hearing the passion you have for music, for singing, and generally for the human experience.
Amazing review as always.
I love the detail and expertise you put into these videos. Also that you were able to really feel that emotion and appreciate the wonderfulness that is TOOL on such a deep level. Watching you react to the raw power and influence these guys have was refreshing and beautiful.
Admirable manifestation of the lyrics, and this was really rare, because usually he's in the back with no lights on him.
Thank you! What a great breakdown and reaction. Any Tool, and I'll be here for it.
Loved ur reaction ❤️❤️
Thank you for this a lot! ❤
There are a lot of great live performances out there from this era, and this one is in the epic category. Love the new specs, you chose well. Keep up the great work, you're doing awesome.
So glad to have caught you live during the premier. I just saw Tool in New Orleans. BIG FAN OF YOURS! Thank You
We love watching your absolute Love of music. Thanks FVM for another great video!
One of the best live performances. Thanks for this one!
Please do more Tool. You get it. I could watch all day.
I love your reactions!! Your humor, your wisdom and you make the same noises I do when hearing something so fuckimg good that it melts our ears!!!
Dude, I love your insights! One of my favorites in the super over-saturated "reaction" to music videos.
