    This song is so powerful because it is so real. To many, this is a daily reality. You literally hate what you have become. Some find a way out, others don't. December 31. 2004, after 16 years, I was finally able to escape the grasp. May I never F'n go back there! Now let me turn this up!

    During this performance, Maynard picked out one person in the crowd and focused on him/her. Ironically, he now owns and operates a vinyard and winery in Arizona. Cheers!

    for complexity I recommend "Lateralus" or "Parabol/Parabola", for vocal extremes I suggest "Bottom", "The Grudge" or "The Pot". If you desire to "get" the sense of Tool try "46 & 2" "Aenima" or "Schism", those were their other most popular radio hits back in the 1990's.

      The best thing about tool is that the more you listen to them the more you will love/appreciate them. It’s like a fine wine. Plus you do not get sick of hearing their songs. I’m currently on a four year bender, where tool is my dominant band. I saw them first live in 1994 I think in Orlando at a college gym. Took a break from them for a while and then re-discovered there later artistry. And I’m infatuated with everything they’ve ever put out.

    I understand the song is about close friend of his and the band who felt he was creative only when under influence of substances, but the substances were destroying him. So either he was under influence and killing himself or sober and not making art he considered worthwhile.
    I am not sure which path he ultimately chose, but it is clear the torment and misery affected those around him deeply.

    Your perspective of the character portrayed by Maynard looking far into the distance is excellent, it's as if he doesn't want to be there so ignores the crowd and sings alone, not caring for the thousands in attendance.

  • @matthewgoodA1206
    @matthewgoodA1206 7 місяців тому +16

    I regard this song as a masterpiece of brooding and having torment; it can give me chills. It’s true that Maynard is quite in character, and I feel like he is almost an actor up on that stage. Not that he is creating a fictional character, but that he is so into his role that his performance reaches a higher, truer level of theatre.

    Greetings! This was a wonderful reaction. If I'm correct, this song is about a friend of Maynard's who had to be on substances to be creative. As to your question about what should be next, Lateralus, The Grudge, Pushit, & The Pot would all be good. Pretty much everything they've done is outstanding. You really can't go wrong.

    Another incredible and equally gut-wrenching live performance is their live version of "Pushit" from Aenima, as performed on the live record Salival during the Aenima tour way back in 1997-1998. You can find it on youtube, and while there is no video of that particular performance, it is a transcendent performance, both musically and vocally. It is worth checking out both as a fan of music, and as a professional voice coach.

    When you attempt to sing this song you would be really suprised by how much the 'hunch' helps in been able to create the resonance and control needed. It goes against everything your taught, but try it. It is shocking how much it helps. I'd go for Pushit Salival, which is a live performance and really shows off many of MJKs' skills. I studied with many Finnish students and it's great to hear Finnish again. Really good reaction 💜

    I would suggest The Pot. Absolutely mesmerizing, it has the complexity that you asked for, and lyrically it is brilliant. All about the hypocrisy of those in power.

    If you enjoyed this, you really need to watch "Tool Live 1992 Philadelphia (JC Dobbs)". I'm probably slightly off with the wording of the video title, but it's easy to find. Great footage of a really early show, in a small bar with only like 15 people there. 🤘
