Hello Everyone! I have started a second channel called "Roar!" where I take on challenges and push myself out of my comfort zone. You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/users/roarrawr
10:14 "It's like Parseltongue. That's what it is. That's why I love it so much. He's Voldemort. Actually, it looks like the back of Voldemort. HHOH GOD I am such a geek." This is why I enjoy your channel so much. The pure joy that crossed your face when your brain suddenly made the connection is priceless and beautiful. You could have very easily edited it out but you didn't and I thank you for it. BTW being a geek is a good thing it means you are passionate about something. PS I'm glad you accidentally picked this live version. edit: fixed the timestamp
He was restraining a guy who jumped on stage. And he finished the whole song before security came and got him. But yes, this happened. Yes you can find it and watch it.
@@mapletree736 ua-cam.com/video/dS41ost0pM8/v-deo.html Here you go. Fan rushes the stage, MJK subdues him but keeps performing the whole time. Luckily, Maynard is trained in BJJ or this kinda shit could have gone worse.
I've been to ALOT of concerts, and I've never experienced what I experienced with Tool compared to any other band. Ever. It is like your soul is taken out of your body, and wrung dry. I was exhausted afterwards. Usually it's the other way around and I'm jacked up. But not with Tool. One doesnt simply listen to Tool. You experience it. They make sure of that.🤘
Agreed completely, you put it into words better than I could. I finally got to experience a Tool concert 2 years ago after being a fan since the late 2000s and missing out on the 10,000 Days tour and suffering through the subsequent hiatus. I'd recommend trying hallucinogens and giving Lateralus a listen start to finish if you can't go to a concert... that's a trip and a half.
I've seen them from a place that was an old bank to Lollapalooza to just recently the Staples Center in LA. When I saw them at the Santa Barbara bowl on the Anema tour. They were so loud that even at the back my chest was thumping. And yet it wasn't too loud. Tool fucking rocks
@@W1ldTangent You nailed it. I can tell you the best musical experience I've ever had and I've had many was eating mushrooms and listening to Tool. It was as if the music was made specifically to eat mushrooms and list to. Fucking amazing. I never miss an opportunity to see these guys.
The percussive sounds are Danny's Mandala pads with a Tabla sample. He (Danny Carrey - Drummer for tool) studied for a while under Aloke Dutta. I was actually at the E-Center in SLC for this actual concert where this was recorded in 97. This was one of the best concerts I have witnessed. It was back when Maynard was really into it. Such a transcendent experience.
Lucky, I saw them for the first time in 2016 and he can’t sing (scream) like he used to. Really took away from the experience but by far still an amazing performance that I’ll never forget
Lodogg 3323 Woah I was there in Houston Jan 14, 2016 up in the nosebleeds. Maybe I was being too critical of him but nobody can sing the way they did in their 20’s when they are pushing 50. If they come back I’m definitely getting floor seats.
I was there also at the E-center (I still call it the E center). out of all the TOOL concerts i went to around the intermountain west region (from 1992 - Present) This one was the best of all time. this version of Pushit is still my favorite song. hit me hard when i was there live and it hits me the same way when i put the headphones on and closed my eyes and journey through this song today.
@Lodogg 3323Interesting. I saw them in 2016 and it seemed like Maynard had definitely lost a step vocally. Still an incredible performance, but the place where he just wasn't his younger self was in belting the big notes. No surprise or shame in it; nobody can do that forever. (Most people can't do it ever.)
@@reubenhamer2932 I do love Zeppelin but Tool is much more the modern Floyd if you had to choose one. Zeppelin was blues rock. Floyd was one of the original progressive rock bands and one of the closest things the 60's had to the likes of Tool. Zeppelin was a completely different end of the spectrum.
Seriously, while watching the music vid. Especially the ending is the greatest visual representation of our spiritual body ever...... oh ya and the lyrics are, as always, incredible.
"Its like a spiritual ceremony." "Its a psychedelic experience." "Its like Maynard is part of the band and not just a singer with a band behind him." Fuck yea, Beth. You totally get it an thats so awesome. Subscribed.
Its beautiful watching her learn about Tool. I hope she listens to their whole collections and gets a chance to see them live, because live is a whole other experience!!
Watching this woman experience TOOL is utterly amazing... it's nice to see someone who knows about music and who appreciates music truly appreciate good music... I highly recommend going to see TOOL, live... it is truly an experience, and something you won't find at any other show...
@@javierperea8954 lol Natural log is not "e", either. Natural log isn't even a number. A "Log" function is the inverse of an Exponential function. "Log" is an operation that is used to solve for "x", when you have an expression in the form of b^x = a, where "b" is the base of that log. So if you have 10^x = 1000, an equivalent expression using the "log'" operation would be Log base 10 of 1000 = x. So in "10^x = 1000", x = 3, just like in "Log base 10 of 1000 = x", x = 3. A "Natural Log" is a log whose base is the constant "e", which you correctly identified as 2.718... etc. So if you were to re-write this calculation "Natural Log of e = 1" in the "b^x = a" format, it would be 2.718^x = 2.718. In this case, x = 1. What power do you raise e to get e? It's the same power you raise any number to result in itself - you raise it to the power of 1.
Love how you genuinely pick apart the song and emotion he exerts into it! If you love the Indian drums you should give "Right In Two" a listen by them. Fantastic progressive piece.
yup, saw them last year. Literally the only thing on my bucket list... I am sooo ashamed to admit that my wife fell asleep during the concert. I didn't even notice i was so focused lol
I've seen them twice, but the first time didn't really count. A lil too much to drink, don't remember much. Finally made up for it years later. Me and my boy kept each other in check, didn't let ourselves get carried away, and was blown away by the experience. Just fuckin wow!
The studio recording is much harder than this though. This is essentially the unplugged version. But definitely a good sample of his skills as a liver performer. He never disappoints at a live show no matter the band (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), unlike many other performers that rely only the post production processing for their sound.
this version starts off much softer but by the end its about the same intensity as the Aenima studio version. Id say the difference is that the studio version more or less has a similar intensity the whole way through while this version dynamically increases in intensity till it gets to the crescendo at the end.
Salival is harder than the studio version. That build up sneaks on you and next thing you know Maynard is releasing it all full force. You realize you had been slowly tensing up through the song and want to explode
(I want you to shut your eyes and go there, and we’ll meet you on the other side... other side... other side... other side...) this version gets me EVERYTIME!!!
Her third eye has been opened, . Oh how I love and envy those hearing Tool for the first time! Lol, she said it's like a psychedelic experience! Spiral Out....keep going....
@@j0esene I remember my dad had the opiate EP on tape. I was on the road with him one summer ( he was a truck driver) and he would play it. At that point I knew my dad was raising a awesome child. Parenting done right!
California 1999. I was there for work and driving along the Interstate in a hire car. Forty Six And Two came on the radio, and I had to stop the car to call one of the cooler guys I was working with to see if he knew who the band was as the station didn't have a DJ. Thankfully my colleague knew who Tool were!
"It's like a psychedelic experience". Pretty much a summary of Tool. And Pink Floyd. You should do Eulogy from Tool. He shows quite a bit of range there.
Salival is absolutely incredible. I always wished they released more albums like it with live versions in such high quality. Tapers are gods to me... but nothing like a soundboard.
@@bws-co6sn no dude, he can't play tablas. I'm Indian and I've heard Indian Tablas live and the artist who's playing that instrument is god level in this song.
"Then he looked right through me. With somniferous almond eyes. Don't even know what that means. Must remember to write it down..." Rosetta Stoned - TOOL
No rock vocalist has ever fit as perfectly into the bands music as Maynard. He understands levels and spacial relationships like no other. Music is math and chemistry and science.
You hit the nail right on the head. Maynard James Keenan is one of the best metal vocalists ever. Listen to Tool's version of No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. This may be sacrilege to some, but I think that MJK actually improves on the Robert Plant vocal, which is near impossible.
My take on this song is about a bad time in my young life where I suffered mental and physical abuse from a high school boyfriend. I recognized the feelings right away as Maynard sang; I'm glad he asked the listeners to go to a vulnerable place, better to understand his message. It takes me back to that painful time; the song reminding me of the feelings I'd locked away, but also telling me how far I've come emotionally from then. Maynard writes about what we can all identify with, and Tool adds that beautiful music to it. The guitar that cries in pain...so familiar...the hurt, the fear and desperation that abuse brings.
Tool, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Linkin Park... Emotion, Pain, Sadness, Rage, Hurt, Sorrow, ELATION & the BLACKEST Depths of Depression all made manifest in music & Lyrics. Maynard is a very lucky man, most of these groups saved the lives & souls on Millions of people while destroying their creators. It just hurts so much sometimes, but their self-sacrifice helps us push on & LIVE. May GOD of any persuasion or name that exists bless them for what they gave to us.
late af but I had that same experience... except with my mother. which sounds like a teenage angst thing, but no, I'm 38 now-- hits the same now as when I just heard it, she's just unfortunately that toxic. I'm grateful my grandparents mostly raised me or I'd be a catastrophically more damaged person.
I have listened and studied a lot of Tool's music for about 16 years. This is one of my favorite tracks in their entire discography for multiple reasons. However, you are one of the first persons that isn't a regular Tool listener, that gave an excellent representation of the music. You really got it. Great job on picking up on the following: 1. Eastern influence 2. Purposes of his voice usage 3. The harmony and meaning of the music itself
Parabol/Parabola, please. It's my all time favorite song. Another aspect of tool I've found interesting is the choice of where they lyrics are sung. Lateralus, for example, is sung with the syllables matching the Fibonacci sequence (which is related to the golden ratio) in ascending and descending order. Furthermore, the song is written in 9-8-7...the 16th (4 beats x 4 beats=16 beats=1 measure) digit of the Fibonacci sequence is 987. The entire Lateralus album is highly associated with mathematics.
I love watching professional musicians with a trained ear and extensive knowledge of music comment on Tool. Maynard is well-known as a top-tier vocalist. But having some breakdown for the layman really helps me appreciate his style and skill. Please do more Tool! Descending would be a good one. Or Pneuma... 👍🏼🤘🏼
Have you seen Tori & Maynard's duet? It was the RAINN benefit concert back in '96. The whole show was amazing, but their duet was gorgeous. The song was Muhammad My Friend.
Calle Silver-Granhall That was actually some world-renowned tabla player on that version. That is from a rare release, and they had several guests there. Can’t remember the guys name, but he was some Indian guy that was famous in his own right.
The music of Tool massages the mind, sadly that won't help your back. You should compare the album version of this song for your next visit 😊 it is very different.
Everytime I listen to tool, I feel the same level of amazement as I did the first time hearing it, even if the song is many years old and even after hearing it 1000 times.
Got to love Tool virgins! Watching you hear this for the first time is awesome. Ancient History and Pentatonic Scales in Music. It is believed that the pentatonic scale was used way back in ancient times. ... These musical instruments were found to be tuned to the pentatonic scale, with the theory that they are about 50,000 years old
It's one part of what is commonly called a trilogy about his mother. The first is Jimmy by Tool, the second is Judith by APC, and the third is Wings for Marie by Tool. Jimmy is a bit more cryptic, but all the together make a lovely story arc about deflection, anger, grief, acceptance, and growth as a person as a result of said grief. It's quite the tapestry.
Well, no. His mother was a Christian and loved much by Maynard. He, as all of us, goes through a phase of questioning God for his mother's suffering. Judith was his mother's name, but it's more about his feelings toward her God and interpretation.
Pushit is a fantastic track, one of the best by Tool in my opinion. But the Salival version is something overwhelmingly beautiful, just the guitar and voice intro is enough to make you teary-eyed. I'm really glad she reviewed this version instead of the original one, it is truly special.
You'll never know or understand, but you have saved my life by helping me remember who I am by rekindling my love for something I had long forgot. Thank you.
If you wish to be further impressed watch the live version of this with the concert video, a fan runs on stage half way through the song and Maynard (vocals) tackles him and holds him in a full body head lock then proceeds to finish the song while holding him
guerril1337 3, and an incredible guitarist whose contribution as an arranger and artist is larger than the rest of the band’s. They’re all integral parts
"If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay. You minimize my movement anyway. I must persuade you another way." I know, I know... Just posting a quote from the song is somewhat cheap. As if I'm riding the coattails of another's talent. Tool's lyrics just need to be memorialized. The music itself is awe-inspiring. Maynard's voice is nigh angelic. Yet the words themselves are as deep and emotional as the other magnificient components. Even just saying them in my head, with no tonality at all, takes me to a strange place. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Dangerous, but peaceful. Terrible and beautiful. I have always loved Tool for this. Always on the fine line between things. Like a luminous shadow or the silver lining of a steel-gray sky. Sorry, I told you it takes me to a strange place. Yet, somehow comforting and familiar.
it is exceptionally hard not to geek-out with TOOL in your head. maynard et al have that effect. you find things happening in the mood, in the lyric (i love the surprise of no lyrics sheet that lead to unexpected connections being made). they take on contrasts more extreme than other bands, and do it all smoothly. maynard's voice helps as he is so capable, competent, and willing to be an instrument. it's fun watching you discovering this band. i've had them in my head since their first e.p and they've only become more thoughtful, complex, and satisfying.
you know maynard hates to be the face/ focal point of the band, they thought a lot before deciding on tool and he faces away from the crowd 3/4 of the time to further emphasise that he is 'a' member not 'the' member. Its a good thing he didn't see you dis the band like that.
@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off dis the band? i love the band. and i am aware of maynard's team-first approach, but he also has fronted APC, Puscifer, and a bunch of other one-offs. he performs, it is his modus operandi, to be an instrument, to be a vocalist performer; no stage, no performance, so he gets out there and creates. the whole band loves to create and have side projects, not all are musical ventures, but they keep busy. i have no issue explaining myself to anyone, but the fact is that the vast majority of the fandom can name Maynard, before Danny Carey (drums), Adam Jones(guitar), or Justin Chancellor(bass, since 95).
@@hippomancy Loving a thing does not mean you treat it with respect. maynard et al is a "your so super cool and smart, hip and edumurikated" way of saying tool, the band name, in an, as explained earlier, disrespectful way. Secondarily anybody that recognises the singer and not the band isn't worth their salt. APC, go watch the video clip for judith and then tell me with a straight face that he is taking centre-stage there, even tho its a song about his mum. As for his shitty side project, which I admittedly stopped plying attention to in all of ten seconds, in everything others have shown me he is largely behind the stage or obscuring himself (granted that may be a part of his performance there or in general at this point) but in the other two cases he denies being the front man, so how's about you show the band respect if you love it so much and abide by the members wishes?
@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off sounds like you think you're the policeman. getting outraged on someone else's behalf doesn't mean you are somehow the 'better' fan, and that your methodology is the only "respect" to be recognized. you sound worshipful. is this something your god Maynard would smile on? chill out. been listening to Tool since 1990. been listening to King Crimson and Peter Gabriel (whom i listen to way more than Tool) since 1977. been listening to the Beatles since 1970. you need Maynard on the pedestal, which he would absolutely f'king hate, go right ahead, but others have been on the pedestal, and it's all ephemeral. i remember when Elvis died. next. respect and worship are two different things. go be someone else's priest.
@@hippomancy Outrage implies I have investment and\or emotion here rather than that I'm just calling you out as a fake when you claim fandom. "As for his shitty side project," clearly worship the guy, I think he'd be indifferent or happy that i think for myself and question authority tho. "chill out" the ability to crate a sound or resounding argument is inhibited by high emotions, so think I'm pretty lacking there. Not sure why you are big|)icking that, clearly massive, E-peen you got but good on you for being committed, I guess, might just be that your brain is so old its starting to rot in the case try fish and olive oil coupled whit taking on a new hobby or interest. Showing the path, of one that you claim to love, would rather you take is nether worship nor law enforcement. Priests are also something that would be against the philosophy's that the band teaches.
It’s funny you said, he’s not a separate entity from the band. “Out in front” I believe you said. If you see Tool live, he is at the back of the stage, furthest from the front of the stage. He’s truly an amazing vocalist, and is able to do things vocally that other vocalists aren’t able to do. It’s magical.
John Eaton, as much as I love Maynard (top 5 singers) I also know that most of his band doesn’t see him as highly as he sees himself. Many radio show hosts, talk show hosts, touring bands etc have neutral, if not negative things to say about Maynard and his arrogance and just plain asshole-ness. Look it up and see for yourself. It’s what makes him- him, I guess, but he’s really just an extreme introvert that handles his fame by being a massive prick. I still love him, lol
Im so so glad you’ve done another Tool video!!! Your ability to express what we feel from the band that we we-selves cannot put words to is incredible, please please keep em coming!
It's a fantastic song. I was trying to find a good live performance though to link for Beth but couldn't find one. It's always good to see Dio sing, such a big voice from a small frame.
@@arrolate same here, it's just that song doesn't show anywhere near his full range and power. I'd rather Beth listened to the album version of Stargazer, even privately, and just enjoyed that.
Very good comment about him using his voice as if an instrument, to actually compliment the other musicians in this band. The most underrated group in my opinion. The best music I’ve ever heard, I’m just so sorry I hadn’t heard them before I turned 56 two yrs ago. Thanks🙏🏼🌹
Fucking missed it didn't I, I did however get to see Metallica this year and Iron Maiden last so I've done 2 of the top 3 with Tool left as #1 on the bucket list.
This band is as deep as they come in what they do musically and lyrically. They mix time signatures and incorporate sequences in the music. And it helps you're listening to a living legend on drums.
10:00 " *gasp* it's like parseltongue...! That's what it is, that's why I love it so much! ...He's Voldemort!" Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love you more than I already did
The beauty of his singing, especially in this version, is that he sounds like he’s trying to push through something - like he’s pushing that voice out, until it breaks through and opens up. You hear that opening up and release at the end. It’s so beautiful. And yes, listening to Tool is like a religious experience. Like a ritual. That’s what Maynard has always said about their performances, and people say he seems pretentious, but that’s just how he wants people to experience it.
Not only is he using his voice as "just" another instrument, he usually stands in the back during shows. The band is up front, he's in the shadows, most of the time you can't see him.
The last three times I saw them, he was rear stage left behind Adam Jones and rarely came anywhere near the front of the stage. He was basically a silhouette for the entire show.
i saw him with a perfect circle in december, he was _technically_ in the middle of the stage, though not in the front row and _zero_ lights were on him:) so... i should i didn't see him with a perfect circle
Tabla drums. This live version is very different from the studio version. Completely different arrangement. Some people like this arrangement more. I tend to gravitate more toward the studio arrangement.
I delighted to listening a Tool with other people who's understand their music too. It's a pleasure to watch you when you discover it first time. This happened to me long time ago... Keep going with Maynard, please. Regards
This version, for me, is the pinnacle of what Tool is. I have been listening to them for 25 years, and this is their embodiment. I am so glad they recorded it.
Was stoked to see Pushit in my sub box! Love this song. Found your channel through the Sober video, glad it did so well. Keep up the great work, love seeing you go over lots of different genres. I think a great song to do would be Pearl Jam - Black (Unplugged Live). Eddie Vedder just has so much emotion in that song. Probably the best live performance I've ever seen. Also you're correct about the drum sound. It's an Indian tabla drum.
This song, this particular version, did something to me years ago. It's amazing how music can be magic in ways. Beth's description describes how it felt in my heart so many years ago for the first time. Absolutely love this video.
Salavial is all Live songs. I would recommend 10,000 Days (Wings) 1 & 2. It's dedicated to his mother's passing. Vicarious Lateralus The Grudge H. 46 & 2 Stinkfist These are also must-listens.
When you're listening to a song and it hits something you really like, you get this little slightly crooked smile. I love that. It tells me you're not chasing views, you're genuinely enjoying the song. Hat's off to you. Keep doing what you're doing!

now do the version where maynard's choking a dude
what ,no What version is that?

Todd Armbruster that’s exactly how I describe them, modern day Pink Floyd plus math.

Its beautiful watching her learn about Tool. I hope she listens to their whole collections and gets a chance to see them live, because live is a whole other experience!!
Maynard has said he considers his voice as another instrument in the band.
Watching this woman experience TOOL is utterly amazing... it's nice to see someone who knows about music and who appreciates music truly appreciate good music... I highly recommend going to see TOOL, live... it is truly an experience, and something you won't find at any other show...
I'm going to see them for the first time in a couple of weeks. This is a bucket list concert for me. I can't wait!
I finally had the chance to see them.on MAy 7th in Birmingham. It was an experience I will never forget

Most bands count to 4, Tool is calculating pi with those time signatures
Lol! Or natural log , otherwise known by the symbol e ... , sometimes pi gets boring for them!
@@javierperea8954 Natural Log of e is just 1, not much of a calculation. :)
@@Darktan2112 Lol... natural log is e or the infinite sequence 2.718281828459045....
@@javierperea8954
lol Natural log is not "e", either. Natural log isn't even a number.
A "Log" function is the inverse of an Exponential function. "Log" is an operation that is used to solve for "x", when you have an expression in the form of b^x = a, where "b" is the base of that log. So if you have 10^x = 1000, an equivalent expression using the "log'" operation would be Log base 10 of 1000 = x. So in "10^x = 1000", x = 3, just like in "Log base 10 of 1000 = x", x = 3.
A "Natural Log" is a log whose base is the constant "e", which you correctly identified as 2.718... etc.
So if you were to re-write this calculation "Natural Log of e = 1" in the "b^x = a" format, it would be 2.718^x = 2.718. In this case, x = 1.
What power do you raise e to get e? It's the same power you raise any number to result in itself - you raise it to the power of 1.

Yup, would definitely recommend.
Right in Two encompasses so much of Tool.
She’s already made a video for right in 2
The Indian drums are called the tabla, used to have lessons and learn it as a kid. Tough instrument to master
Please do Passenger by the Deftones (ft Maynard from Tool)! It would be interesting to see your comments on their two voices :)
This! This so much!!

I vote this!
Just do Chino in general!! I love this Tool vid and the other one, but man as far as vocalists Chino is the only one that compares to Maynard for me.

Have you every seen them in concert? .. Tool is not a band ... They are an experience ..
yup, saw them last year. Literally the only thing on my bucket list... I am sooo ashamed to admit that my wife fell asleep during the concert. I didn't even notice i was so focused lol
I was very impressed with how close he sounded live as compared with the album version.
I've seen them twice, but the first time didn't really count. A lil too much to drink, don't remember much. Finally made up for it years later. Me and my boy kept each other in check, didn't let ourselves get carried away, and was blown away by the experience. Just fuckin wow!
An art gala for the eyes, ears mind and soul.
@@jonathanswift8497 It's like I don't even know you, woman!
The studio recording is much harder than this though. This is essentially the unplugged version. But definitely a good sample of his skills as a liver performer. He never disappoints at a live show no matter the band (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), unlike many other performers that rely only the post production processing for their sound.
this version starts off much softer but by the end its about the same intensity as the Aenima studio version. Id say the difference is that the studio version more or less has a similar intensity the whole way through while this version dynamically increases in intensity till it gets to the crescendo at the end.
This is the “Salival” version of Pushit
@@JungleScene - True. I noticed that towards the end after I posted this.
Salival is harder than the studio version. That build up sneaks on you and next thing you know Maynard is releasing it all full force. You realize you had been slowly tensing up through the song and want to explode
I've been polishing my skills as a kidney performer..
You picked the best version of this song :)
but a vocal coach could help maynard so much like a pope god to save souls...
Colonel Claypool The original is essential listening though
You are so very right. Goosebumps every.single.time.

California 1999. I was there for work and driving along the Interstate in a hire car. Forty Six And Two came on the radio, and I had to stop the car to call one of the cooler guys I was working with to see if he knew who the band was as the station didn't have a DJ. Thankfully my colleague knew who Tool were!
Yes! Lateralus is one of my favorites.
"It's like a psychedelic experience". Pretty much a summary of Tool. And Pink Floyd. You should do Eulogy from Tool. He shows quite a bit of range there.

Love Eulogy
A beautiful tribute to Bill Hicks.
Absolutely love this version of pushit. Hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard it for the first time.

First time hearing this version as well...extremely impressed

You hit the nail right on the head. Maynard James Keenan is one of the best metal vocalists ever.
Listen to Tool's version of No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. This may be sacrilege to some, but I think that MJK actually improves on the Robert Plant vocal, which is near impossible.
I agree 5000000%
I couldn't believe it when I found their cover of no quarter.....my favourite band playing my favourite song
Me ripping a thunderous, echoing fart in a dumpster improves on Robert Plant's pussy vocals.
Nothing Tool does is sacrilege. If Tool uses one note from another song, that band and their fans should drop to their knees in thanks.
Their No Quarter *obliterates* Zepplin, and I adore Zepplin... Tool took the song to a completely different level of awesome.
You definitely need to listen the songs written for his mother wings for Marie parts 1&2
THIS! Wings for Marie Pt1, and 10,000 days (Wings pt2) are a masterpiece.
I love that song give me my, give me my wiiiiinngs! Haunting.
I was just getting ready to comment this! Masterpiece.
YES
It is so beautiful
My take on this song is about a bad time in my young life where I suffered mental and physical abuse from a high school boyfriend. I recognized the feelings right away as Maynard sang; I'm glad he asked the listeners to go to a vulnerable place, better to understand his message. It takes me back to that painful time; the song reminding me of the feelings I'd locked away, but also telling me how far I've come emotionally from then. Maynard writes about what we can all identify with, and Tool adds that beautiful music to it. The guitar that cries in pain...so familiar...the hurt, the fear and desperation that abuse brings.
Tool, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Linkin Park... Emotion, Pain, Sadness, Rage, Hurt, Sorrow, ELATION & the BLACKEST Depths of Depression all made manifest in music & Lyrics. Maynard is a very lucky man, most of these groups saved the lives & souls on Millions of people while destroying their creators. It just hurts so much sometimes, but their self-sacrifice helps us push on & LIVE. May GOD of any persuasion or name that exists bless them for what they gave to us.
late af but I had that same experience... except with my mother. which sounds like a teenage angst thing, but no, I'm 38 now-- hits the same now as when I just heard it, she's just unfortunately that toxic. I'm grateful my grandparents mostly raised me or I'd be a catastrophically more damaged person.
I have listened and studied a lot of Tool's music for about 16 years. This is one of my favorite tracks in their entire discography for multiple reasons. However, you are one of the first persons that isn't a regular Tool listener, that gave an excellent representation of the music. You really got it. Great job on picking up on the following: 1. Eastern influence 2. Purposes of his voice usage 3. The harmony and meaning of the music itself
I had no idea who Tool were when I Recorded Sober on VHS in 1993 (26 years)
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz I remember seeing them in 1993 at Toronto Masonic temple on Yonge st and probably about 500 people! ... I'm ol'school too
Parabol/Parabola, please. It's my all time favorite song. Another aspect of tool I've found interesting is the choice of where they lyrics are sung. Lateralus, for example, is sung with the syllables matching the Fibonacci sequence (which is related to the golden ratio) in ascending and descending order. Furthermore, the song is written in 9-8-7...the 16th (4 beats x 4 beats=16 beats=1 measure) digit of the Fibonacci sequence is 987. The entire Lateralus album is highly associated with mathematics.
@schindler91589 Good correction. As you can tell, I'm not very familiar with theory, I just go by feeling. I know mathematics moreso.
@schindler91589 Lol! If only we lived in a world where that didn't surprise you!

The tabla on this recording were played live by Aloke Dutta. They only played this version of the song with him.

@@ashtheviking5007 Aloke Dutta is Danny Carey's tabla teacher from way back
Maynard has another band called A PERFECT CIRCLE, you should react to their song JUDITH. that was maynard's personal story about his mom
It's one part of what is commonly called a trilogy about his mother. The first is Jimmy by Tool, the second is Judith by APC, and the third is Wings for Marie by Tool. Jimmy is a bit more cryptic, but all the together make a lovely story arc about deflection, anger, grief, acceptance, and growth as a person as a result of said grief. It's quite the tapestry.
Well, no. His mother was a Christian and loved much by Maynard. He, as all of us, goes through a phase of questioning God for his mother's suffering. Judith was his mother's name, but it's more about his feelings toward her God and interpretation.
If you listen to Judith by A Perfect Circle, you really should follow it up with Tool's Wings for Marie (parts 1 & 2).
I think 3 Libras is better vocally.
@@JoclynM It is technically five songs, now. Jimmy, Judith, Wings Part 1 and 2, and now Horizons from Puscifer, are all about his mom.
Pushit is a fantastic track, one of the best by Tool in my opinion. But the Salival version is something overwhelmingly beautiful, just the guitar and voice intro is enough to make you teary-eyed. I'm really glad she reviewed this version instead of the original one, it is truly special.
Bingo.
Absolutely. This one is even better in my opinion.
You'll never know or understand, but you have saved my life by helping me remember who I am by rekindling my love for something I had long forgot. Thank you.
If you wish to be further impressed watch the live version of this with the concert video, a fan runs on stage half way through the song and Maynard (vocals) tackles him and holds him in a full body head lock then proceeds to finish the song while holding him
Mynard is good at jujitsu
He does a little more than hold the guy. It’s actually pretty uncomfortable 😂 fucker deserved though

"If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay. You minimize my movement anyway. I must persuade you another way."
I know, I know... Just posting a quote from the song is somewhat cheap. As if I'm riding the coattails of another's talent. Tool's lyrics just need to be memorialized. The music itself is awe-inspiring. Maynard's voice is nigh angelic. Yet the words themselves are as deep and emotional as the other magnificient components.
Even just saying them in my head, with no tonality at all, takes me to a strange place. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Dangerous, but peaceful. Terrible and beautiful. I have always loved Tool for this. Always on the fine line between things. Like a luminous shadow or the silver lining of a steel-gray sky.
Sorry, I told you it takes me to a strange place. Yet, somehow comforting and familiar.
it is exceptionally hard not to geek-out with TOOL in your head. maynard et al have that effect. you find things happening in the mood, in the lyric (i love the surprise of no lyrics sheet that lead to unexpected connections being made). they take on contrasts more extreme than other bands, and do it all smoothly. maynard's voice helps as he is so capable, competent, and willing to be an instrument. it's fun watching you discovering this band. i've had them in my head since their first e.p and they've only become more thoughtful, complex, and satisfying.
you know maynard hates to be the face/ focal point of the band, they thought a lot before deciding on tool and he faces away from the crowd 3/4 of the time to further emphasise that he is 'a' member not 'the' member. Its a good thing he didn't see you dis the band like that.
@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off dis the band? i love the band. and i am aware of maynard's team-first approach, but he also has fronted APC, Puscifer, and a bunch of other one-offs. he performs, it is his modus operandi, to be an instrument, to be a vocalist performer; no stage, no performance, so he gets out there and creates. the whole band loves to create and have side projects, not all are musical ventures, but they keep busy. i have no issue explaining myself to anyone, but the fact is that the vast majority of the fandom can name Maynard, before Danny Carey (drums), Adam Jones(guitar), or Justin Chancellor(bass, since 95).
@@hippomancy Loving a thing does not mean you treat it with respect. maynard et al is a "your so super cool and smart, hip and edumurikated" way of saying tool, the band name, in an, as explained earlier, disrespectful way. Secondarily anybody that recognises the singer and not the band isn't worth their salt. APC, go watch the video clip for judith and then tell me with a straight face that he is taking centre-stage there, even tho its a song about his mum. As for his shitty side project, which I admittedly stopped plying attention to in all of ten seconds, in everything others have shown me he is largely behind the stage or obscuring himself (granted that may be a part of his performance there or in general at this point) but in the other two cases he denies being the front man, so how's about you show the band respect if you love it so much and abide by the members wishes?
@@Handles_Are_Bad.Phuk-them-off sounds like you think you're the policeman. getting outraged on someone else's behalf doesn't mean you are somehow the 'better' fan, and that your methodology is the only "respect" to be recognized. you sound worshipful. is this something your god Maynard would smile on? chill out. been listening to Tool since 1990. been listening to King Crimson and Peter Gabriel (whom i listen to way more than Tool) since 1977. been listening to the Beatles since 1970. you need Maynard on the pedestal, which he would absolutely f'king hate, go right ahead, but others have been on the pedestal, and it's all ephemeral. i remember when Elvis died. next. respect and worship are two different things. go be someone else's priest.
@@hippomancy Outrage implies I have investment and\or emotion here rather than that I'm just calling you out as a fake when you claim fandom. "As for his shitty side project," clearly worship the guy, I think he'd be indifferent or happy that i think for myself and question authority tho. "chill out" the ability to crate a sound or resounding argument is inhibited by high emotions, so think I'm pretty lacking there. Not sure why you are big|)icking that, clearly massive, E-peen you got but good on you for being committed, I guess, might just be that your brain is so old its starting to rot in the case try fish and olive oil coupled whit taking on a new hobby or interest. Showing the path, of one that you claim to love, would rather you take is nether worship nor law enforcement. Priests are also something that would be against the philosophy's that the band teaches.
It’s funny you said, he’s not a separate entity from the band. “Out in front” I believe you said. If you see Tool live, he is at the back of the stage, furthest from the front of the stage. He’s truly an amazing vocalist, and is able to do things vocally that other vocalists aren’t able to do. It’s magical.
John Eaton, as much as I love Maynard (top 5 singers) I also know that most of his band doesn’t see him as highly as he sees himself. Many radio show hosts, talk show hosts, touring bands etc have neutral, if not negative things to say about Maynard and his arrogance and just plain asshole-ness. Look it up and see for yourself. It’s what makes him- him, I guess, but he’s really just an extreme introvert that handles his fame by being a massive prick.
I still love him, lol
I saw Tool in 2012 and he was out in front. In nothing but his underware no less lol.

If you really want an experience, TOOL goes on tour in 2019! They will be in the UK on 16 June! Maybe a new album by then...
Holy shit...you were right
Fucking missed it didn't I, I did however get to see Metallica this year and Iron Maiden last so I've done 2 of the top 3 with Tool left as #1 on the bucket list.
Yessir.I saw them in Jersey on LSD and then saw them in Brooklyn. Both were an amazing experience
Please do Portishead (Live in Roseland NY)- Over. Song absolutely gives me chills every time.
I like Roads on that album
That entire album is perfection.
This band is as deep as they come in what they do musically and lyrically. They mix time signatures and incorporate sequences in the music. And it helps you're listening to a living legend on drums.
You have an amazing ability to verbalize your analysis. Very nice.
I was lucky to see them during this tour.
10:00 " *gasp* it's like parseltongue...! That's what it is, that's why I love it so much! ...He's Voldemort!"
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love you more than I already did
hahaha - my thoughts exactly. What a wonderful creature XD
The beauty of his singing, especially in this version, is that he sounds like he’s trying to push through something - like he’s pushing that voice out, until it breaks through and opens up. You hear that opening up and release at the end. It’s so beautiful. And yes, listening to Tool is like a religious experience. Like a ritual. That’s what Maynard has always said about their performances, and people say he seems pretentious, but that’s just how he wants people to experience it.
Not only is he using his voice as "just" another instrument, he usually stands in the back during shows. The band is up front, he's in the shadows, most of the time you can't see him.
Now. Not earlier.
Last time I saw them he was wearing a Darth Vader mask standing in the shadows.
The last three times I saw them, he was rear stage left behind Adam Jones and rarely came anywhere near the front of the stage. He was basically a silhouette for the entire show.
i saw him with a perfect circle in december, he was _technically_ in the middle of the stage, though not in the front row and _zero_ lights were on him:) so... i should i didn't see him with a perfect circle
I heard it's a shy thing
Not only did it end up being live, it also ended up being a different version 😂 all good though, cause anything Tool does is fire!!
for me this is the better version of the song. love how he changes the whole feeling of the song
More like anything maynard does is fire. Puscifer and APC are also AMAZING. Too bad I don't like wine lol

Brilliant... Gives me goosebumps... Only band that has truly mastered all the elements! Love the reactions and explanations from her💜🤘
I know it's a lot of Tool but please react to "Schism". That song is definitely a whole experience in itself. Greetings from Argenitna.
Tabla drums. This live version is very different from the studio version. Completely different arrangement. Some people like this arrangement more. I tend to gravitate more toward the studio arrangement.
David Bovey it’s pretty much the same at about the half way mark and on.
The science of Vocals.... Throws a new perspective on music.. Awesome Beth...Thanks.
Ineratic ESP - the Mars Volta
His vocals are really wild
Man, besides Tool, Mars Volta is the only band that gave me a psychodellic ASMR experience without drugs. Especially their album Cygnus.
I delighted to listening a Tool with other people who's understand their music too. It's a pleasure to watch you when you discover it first time. This happened to me long time ago... Keep going with Maynard, please. Regards
The best Tool song put to record. Took their own, flipped it around and created something truly beautiful.
The best version of Pushit.
Agreed!, though original also great
its you AGAIN YES SALIVAL IS THE BEST
I like the original better.
No
Best? Just from a different perspective, or under a different light.
"It's like a psychedelic experience," that'll be Third Eye by Tool :)
Or Rosetta Stoned
Merkaba...
She has to do 3rd eye also off salival
@@DiamondDukePictures 100%
And Merkaba is a bad trip.
The “remember I will always love you...” line has always given me chills. Like. Legit chills.
I was at this show, no words
I think that justin is godly bass player and fits great in tool
I think youd be hard pressed to find anyone that disagrees with that!
Those melodies he gets are fucking amazing. Definitely a master at work.
He was great in his previous outfit too, Peach, a cover of one of their songs is on this album "You lied" it's real bass heavy.
Dm myg spasm is a peach cover too, you knew he was the guy for tool if you listened to peach
@@OGT4204 yeah I just don't think spasm is a good display of his bass skills. Good song, don't like the cover though.
This version, for me, is the pinnacle of what Tool is. I have been listening to them for 25 years, and this is their embodiment. I am so glad they recorded it.
Was stoked to see Pushit in my sub box! Love this song. Found your channel through the Sober video, glad it did so well. Keep up the great work, love seeing you go over lots of different genres.
I think a great song to do would be Pearl Jam - Black (Unplugged Live). Eddie Vedder just has so much emotion in that song. Probably the best live performance I've ever seen.
Also you're correct about the drum sound. It's an Indian tabla drum.
anime girl same!
What is better than tool = Tool + Beth 😍
“He who shall not be named” has an amazing sounding voice. 😮
Hahaha "like a psychedelic experience." they use the exact lyrics in Merkababa, one of danny carey's (drummer) solos
I haven't listened to Merkaba in a cool minute, so I dont know if it's in there, too; however I do know that it's also said in the intro to Third Eye
I thought the EXACT same thing when she said that. It's literally on the same album as the song in this video.
Your channel intro is freaking adorable!!
This song, this particular version, did something to me years ago. It's amazing how music can be magic in ways. Beth's description describes how it felt in my heart so many years ago for the first time. Absolutely love this video.
Salavial is all Live songs. I would recommend 10,000 Days (Wings) 1 & 2. It's dedicated to his mother's passing.
Vicarious
Lateralus
The Grudge
H.
46 & 2
Stinkfist
These are also must-listens.
Mòhámmèd Wäs Ä PædõphìIë No Quarter is not live.
But every tool song really is a must listen lol
Nice! My favorite band. 😁
Love your profile pic!
When you're listening to a song and it hits something you really like, you get this little slightly crooked smile. I love that. It tells me you're not chasing views, you're genuinely enjoying the song. Hat's off to you. Keep doing what you're doing!
The drum is a tabla. And you are amazing. x
