Don't sweat not grasping a Tool song lyrically on the first go round. Everything is a metaphor in Maynard's lyrics. And as I go through life they mean different things to me. Enjoy the journey!
Still listening, and still learning. I am 52 now, been listening ever since Tool's album "Sober". I even have a degree in Psychology and tool is still teaching me lessons with songs I have played at least a thousand times. I recently discovered that I sometimes; "wear The Grudge like a crown, desperate to control, unable to forgive and sinking deeper" I must have sung that line 900 times, and only recently found an old grudge I had yet to let go of. Tool Is a companion, who will challenge you, mind body and soul.
Tool is the greatest band to have EVER walked the earth. They got Michael Jordan on the drums and Jesus’ relative on the mic (lyrics). Try “Right in two” or “Aenima” next. Sooooo many more songs to experience. Tool army will follow your Tool reactions….. we always do!
This band honestly doesn't have a bad track. Do yourself a favor and just start at the beginning of their first EP and continue on until you get to their last track of their last LP. 🤞✌️
What doesn't matter is the age of the listener or the band. You can obviously see the guy is enjoying the music so clearly he would enjoy the rest of Tools catalog.
Should definitely listen to all of it but I find it's more interesting if inexperienced tool listeners hear different songs from each album instead in chronological order...at least for reactions.....on their own they should go back and listen in full album order
@@garri5108 apparently not... they're one of the most appreciated bands amongst other musicians as well as people from all different backgrounds... however their music is not for typical purposes.....and if the ears nor the brain has opened up to feel the little nuances in the music and the lyrics then you won't feel it as much as you would with commercial music or straight energy music
This song changed me and saved my life. Tool showed me that you can change, evolve, into a better person and that I’m not the only one lost in the muck of my origins.
Like others have said, there's not a bad track in their catalogue. *Right in Two* is really beautiful, a bit simpler to understand the lyrics than some others. *Vicarious* is another single who's meaning is a bit more at the forefront. *Invincible* is a newer track that's also crazy good. A lot of their stuff begs to be listened to over and over, you'll notice something new each time or lock into the beat or really click with the lyrics. It's wild stuff man. Have fun!
There's no bad song. Starting from the beginning can allow you to see the growth of the journey like chapters of a book. All of it is internal deeper thinking and all songs sound completely unique and not a bad track.
This is a stellar song, and I love the background, but don't fall for the chromosomal count thing. There are no 44 chromosome people, or 48 chromosome people. More chromosomes don't equal higher awareness or "harmonic" states of being. All humans around the world have 23 pairs of chromosomes(46 total), and if any individual has more or less, they tend to have developmental disorders and often just don't survive at all. The lyrics are amazing, the drums and guitar are top tier, the philosophical background it eye opening. But this lyric video's attempt at describing biology is just not correct. The amount of genetic differences between people around the world (~0.1%) is smaller that than the genetic difference between two neighboring chimpanzee groups across a river in one spot in Gambia (~1.2%). Personal evolution and growing psycho-spiritually, oh heck yes.
I’m 52 & have been a Tool fan for quite some time & I really do enjoy watching videos of young people hearing Tool for the 1st time & “gettin it”…..gives me hope 😉
Great reaction! Hope you keep going, you won’t regret it! You should check out Tool’s song Lateralus - it’s message helps me get through barriers in life, especially when you’re trapped - inspires action towards a better way…for me anyway 😊 But like all Tool lyrics, they’re open to interpretation. It’ll be fun to see yours!
I honestly can’t stand this particular lyric video bc of all the explaining that it does. It distracts you from the piece of music, especially during Danny’s crazy drumming part. You didn’t know tho so no worries. Enjoyed your reaction very much and hope you continue on your tool journey!
I love the song, the lyrics are interesting, but the additional explanation really break the experience and I honestly believe they add an angle that goes way beyond the idea of (personal? ) evolution that Maynard was probably portraying here. Jungian psychology has been superceded by moder psychological science for good reason.
I really appreciate how much time you take for your reactions. To me it's always a bit disappointing when reactors wrap it up in under 2 minutes after the song ends (esp if they don't talk much during the song either) but you just really sit there and take a minute to just think, find words and then 10 more minutes of talking about it. Thanks for taking that time
There’s a lot of Jungian psychology in this song if not the whole album. The Shadow is the subconscious, the primal, part of your mind. If I remember right, Jung believed in uniting the two sides of the personality…an integration of all parts of the Self.
Loving your reactions to Tool!! There's no other band like them! Keep going down this rabbit hole. Check out Right In Two and Lateralus and Sober. Also, try and focus on the drumming. Absolutely amazing!! Love watching you on this journey!! Keep doing more TOOL!!!
You have to do Lateralus with the fibonacchi explaining… HAVE TO. You’ll understand how insane they create songs with their higher level of creating music
The 46 and 2 theory is a psychological principle that states that humans are capable of only 46 emotions, which are then combined to create the remaining emotions. The two basic emotions are happiness and sadness, which can be combined to create all other emotions. Maynard James Keenan is a genius lyricist...Rappers cant compete with Bars like this!
Here we go again!! Welcome to one of the greatest bands of all time. Tool, made up of Vocalist Maynard James Keenan, Guitarist Adam Jones, Bassist Justin Chancellor, and the Octopus on Drums Mr. Danny Carry. In general Tool can be divided between their early years which had a more aggressive, angry tone and their later years which is more spiritual and reflective. Each member are elite musicians, Tool only sounds like Tool and are a genre all their own. Maynard writes all the lyrics, and his performances are on par with some of the greatest vocalists in history. He is also a vocalist for A Perfect Circle and Puscifer both of which I highly recommended to dive into. Tool fans will tell you to stay away from reacting to any of their official videos as they distract quite a bit from the songs and lyrics, I typically recommend to just listen to their music first and then on a second go around pull up the lyrics, we promise, it'll add dimension and depth to the entire experience. Tool fans are devoted and love to watch reactions of people’s first time listening, to say they are unique doesn’t do them justice. Take your time with reactions, we don’t mind if you pause and analyze, a lot of their music is open to interpretation which is fun for all of us. Spiral out and have fun on your journey...oh and YES headphones are a must! The Staples The Pot 46 and 2 Lateralus The Grudge Sober Schism Pneuma 7empest Right in Two Vicarious The Patient Deeper Cuts Jambi Hooker with a Penis Pushit Pushit (Salival Version) Eulogy Disposition / Reflection / Triad (All in a row) Invincible Culling Voices Decending Swamp Song 4 Degrees Parabol/Parabola Ticks & Leaches No Quarter Maynard’s Dick Songs related to Maynard's mother. Judith Marie Keenan, a devote Baptist, suffered a paralyzing cerebral hemorrhage when Maynard was just 11-years-old. Judith would remain paralyzed for 27 years (approx. 10,000 days) until her death in 2003. Jimmy Judith (A Perfect Circle) Wings for Marie (Part 1) 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)
I know uve done some Sleep Token but if u like Tool u need to deep dive on both of them. They speak straight to ur soul! Will activate every molecule in ur body and mind! Both speak in very deep metaphors. Keep em comin cuz we're so here for ur energy! Btw, I have that Purple Rain shirt an wear it like every week lol Thank u for the reactions❤🔥
If he did, the word would spread fast. He would be a great person to do it because he's not breaking down the instrumentals and commenting on the lyric meaning, while showing lyrics (essential) and purely emoting to the music. It's fulfilling to watch.
Hey man, I’m 41 now and I still struggle with “what am I doing” My best advice is to play the game, the best you can. Get Credit, Buy a house, make a family. Those are the most important plays in the game
This reminds me of a saying I use when someone is singing with a song over the singer. Me: “who sings this song?” Other person: Maynard James Keenan. Me: “ LET HIM.”
"We're almost done with the list. " I heard that as "we're just starting with the list." Buckle up brother and get ready for a months long ride. Just chill and accept it.
If you really want to understand this band check out the documentary "From Opiate to Fear Inoculum" really shows their creativity and musicianship.shows how they started to present days
The drummer, Danny Carey can do four different timings, one with each limb. He would do five, but not with his pants on. Come along on the journey, it will change you as a human and make you think way different about all music. Which is what it was designed to do by these four geniuses
Well one things for certain if things keep the way it's been for the past 3 years... We will all own nothing and not be so happy. I know that I don't want that for me or for anybody.
Something to ponder: Maynard (Lead Singer) demands that the Instrumentalists COMPLETE the music BEFORE they give it to him to write the lyrics and vocal melody. And there are ZERO changes allowed once it's submitted to him. 🤘🏽🌀🔥
Lol “demand” “complete” “zero changes” Their process is nowhere near that black&white or absolute. Strangely authoritarian way you’ve presented the whole thing. Maynard prefers and asks them to be as finished as possible before doing the vocal track and then there’s some finalizing of both lyrics and instrumentals afterwards.
There are 46 chromosomes (23 pair) in every person. Half come from the mother, half from the father. Add one more chromosome and the medical condition Down Syndrome occurs. Forty Six & 1. Forty Six & 2 adds another pair of chromosomes, indicating personal change. What changes? It’s different for each and every one of us. You make the call.
you missed it. 42+2 was the past, 44+2 is present, 46+2 is the future. There are both 42 & 44s alive right now and there might be 46s... we just don't know
Don't sweat not grasping a Tool song lyrically on the first go round. Everything is a metaphor in Maynard's lyrics. And as I go through life they mean different things to me. Enjoy the journey!
Tip for you as a new Tool fan; your favorite Tool song is the one you heard last
truth
Thats so true
Love this answer so true

Brilliant
You gotta check out Right in Two. It's a simple song to understand, but very strong and hits hard on humanity. Keep up these reactions ❤️
one of my favorites
even better directly preceded by Intension
My favorite tool song of all time
C’mon now 🤨everyone on here knows it should be “Hooker with a Penis” up next
@@MarioMartinez-vw4rg same!

I disagree let people listen to what they want. I respect what you are saying. Does it matter when young people listen to a 30 year old band.
What doesn't matter is the age of the listener or the band. You can obviously see the guy is enjoying the music so clearly he would enjoy the rest of Tools catalog.
Should definitely listen to all of it but I find it's more interesting if inexperienced tool listeners hear different songs from each album instead in chronological order...at least for reactions.....on their own they should go back and listen in full album order

Good on you mate. 🙏🏼💪🏼
"I want to know what I've been hiding in my Shadow...."
One of my favorite Tool songs! Keep going with the Tool reactions. All their songs are great!

Here for TOOL! Greatest band ever. Not a single bad song. Some would say NOTHING on your list is their best songs. 🤷
There's no bad song. Starting from the beginning can allow you to see the growth of the journey like chapters of a book. All of it is internal deeper thinking and all songs sound completely unique and not a bad track.
I would recommend Vicarious next (not the official music video!) It's another high-energy track with some thought-provoking lyrics. You'll love it!
Agreed!! Audio only for most all Tool...Even the video he did here is too distracting...Lol
Love how almost every newbie to metal music, is floored at how deep and meaningful it is.
Great reactions to Tool😎
I have a few more suggestions:
The Grudge
Lateralus
The Descending
Spiral out man!!🌀😎🌀

Personal evolution and growing psycho-spiritually, oh heck yes.
Thank you for dropping some facts
Yeah, started watching and thought "Oh no it's *that* lyrics video", just a bunch of pseudo scientific sounding BS
This video constantly distracting from the music itself. Drives me nuts.
I’m 52 & have been a Tool fan for quite some time & I really do enjoy watching videos of young people hearing Tool for the 1st time & “gettin it”…..gives me hope 😉
Another Tool fan is born!...welcome to the fold.
Great reaction! Hope you keep going, you won’t regret it!

Amongst other things this song is full of universal truths.

Right n Two is an amazing track!! Highly recommend. 😎🤙 See you on the other side!
King's X. Songs: Black Flag, Dogman, Over My Head, Goldilox...
This is one of my favorite songs, period. Love your reaction, bro. I can tell that you get it, man. You really do.
Exactly a higher level of consciousness..great reaction
You will love Lateralus.
They wash you out. It's not just incredible music, it's everything.
Next level music.
lol that image with the two faces at the end of the video....if you stare at it long enough you will see another face staring right at you.
Yeah this song is an ever listen. Been listening to this song since it dropped and I still feel it
Spiral out to Lateralus!
There’s a lot of Jungian psychology in this song if not the whole album. The Shadow is the subconscious, the primal, part of your mind. If I remember right, Jung believed in uniting the two sides of the personality…an integration of all parts of the Self.
Yes mate, incredible track. Need to be reminded to look what we've been hiding in our shadow
Loving your reactions to Tool!! There's no other band like them! Keep going down this rabbit hole. Check out Right In Two and Lateralus and Sober. Also, try and focus on the drumming. Absolutely amazing!! Love watching you on this journey!! Keep doing more TOOL!!!
Gahh Maynard lyricism is just a whole other level.
Great reaction…… Tool is gonna get you !!! Be ready 👁🌀🌀🌀🌀
It's more than music, it's a lesson👽
No matter what list you choose, they are top 5 on that list
I’m sure everyone told you this isn’t an official TOOL vid. That being said, dope shirt! My first favorite album and musician!
This dude is going to lose his mind with lateralus
You have to do Lateralus with the fibonacchi explaining… HAVE TO. You’ll understand how insane they create songs with their higher level of creating music
Projecting love-- connecting on a higher level
It's like we could see your third eye opening as the music played.
at the end he wasn’t even listening to the banger drum solo just learning about psychology.
You’re getting it brother. Keep digging. Love seeing people hearing and especially opening their mind up to figuring out the meanings. Keep it up
down the rabbit hole you go.
checkin in... right in two ..a must for you
Maynard lyrics..
BARS!!..LIKE A SUCKERPUNCH IN THE GUT!
Love yr reactions! Full disclosure. TOOL might spoil u2 music. We love u2....
Bro plz check out kids cover tool 46&2 they nailed it. I promise you won't be disappointed

Lmfao. That was a good time. Well done.
Hell yeah! Can’t wait for Rage ✊🏼
Everyone can relate because we all have a shadow to keep recognze knowing it's our dark side and keep it under control
This song hits sooo hard for me🥺
Another vote for doing the catalog, in order. 👍🏽😁🌀
If he did, the word would spread fast. He would be a great person to do it because he's not breaking down the instrumentals and commenting on the lyric meaning, while showing lyrics (essential) and purely emoting to the music. It's fulfilling to watch.
Youre my new fav reactor! Keep it up!!!
Your volume is good, your content is good. Thank you!
Also your video of tool is the one I learned this song to. It's the best one.
Welcome to the Tool Army!! 🤟
Fool strikes again… You’ll get it eventually 🌀
I think i drove my ex wife nuts with how much i played this cd. Loved everything on this . More i listened the more i discovered.
PRY OPEN THAT 3RD EYE!!!
Xanny you are the songbird of your generation 😂
This is one of my favs
embrace the random. spiral out.....keep going!
this song is about facing you darker self and evolving past it
Hey man, I’m 41 now and I still struggle with “what am I doing”
My best advice is to play the game, the best you can.
Get Credit, Buy a house, make a family. Those are the most important plays in the game
This reminds me of a saying I use when someone is singing with a song over the singer.
Me: “who sings this song?”
Other person: Maynard James Keenan.
Me: “ LET HIM.”
Bro thank u for being opening minded...100
Opiate ,1st song bro.its live, SUBLIME!!!!!
"We're almost done with the list. " I heard that as "we're just starting with the list." Buckle up brother and get ready for a months long ride. Just chill and accept it.
I think you are ready for Lateralus...I can't believe that wasn't on his list...spiral out....
You have to check out the new album. They are better than ever now.
If you really want to understand this band check out the documentary "From Opiate to Fear Inoculum" really shows their creativity and musicianship.shows how they started to present days
My guy. Don’t stop at what your manager said. This band does not have a bad track. Go all the way in. Spiral down.
The drummer, Danny Carey can do four different timings, one with each limb. He would do five, but not with his pants on. Come along on the journey, it will change you as a human and make you think way different about all music. Which is what it was designed to do by these four geniuses
Please do right in two!
Sober by Tool
Well one things for certain if things keep the way it's been for the past 3 years... We will all own nothing and not be so happy. I know that I don't want that for me or for anybody.
That Purple Rain shirt
Deja buen legado
Bueno deja buena sombra 😊
If you want to hear another amazing thing....listen to the kid cover of 46 & 2 by the Okeefe Foundation. You'll be blown away!!
Me gustaría que me entiendas. Está canción solo habla de la evolución. Los cromosomas. Y gracias por ponerlo y enseñar
Look up the theory of 46&two by Drunvaldo Melchizedek.
Something to ponder: Maynard (Lead Singer) demands that the Instrumentalists COMPLETE the music BEFORE they give it to him to write the lyrics and vocal melody. And there are ZERO changes allowed once it's submitted to him. 🤘🏽🌀🔥

you missed it. 42+2 was the past, 44+2 is present, 46+2 is the future. There are both 42 & 44s alive right now and there might be 46s... we just don't know

btw, the 42+2 is untrue.
Lot of rappers spit a lot of bars but most of them don't have bars that require a degree and an encyclopedia to figure out :P
"lateralus" incomming?

Watch Harry Mack, then Watch 46 & 2, you will see it
