My first reaction to Sober: ua-cam.com/video/pHV5PbDq_E0/v-deo.html
:)
I think for live Tool videos, that drum-cam of Danny on Pneuma might be worth a react. It's fascinating to watch everything he does in that song.
Yes ^^^^^^
“I weep for you” 😂😂 Couldn’t agree more! You should definitely react to the Danny drum cam of Pneuma. Audio quality is impeccable.. 🤘
I plan to. :)
Yes, quality of the audio sucks heavily.
This is probably one of the few live tracks I’ve seen that actually does justice to the original. Most likely because it was sponsored by Vic Firth
She still has to listen to Fear inoculum Studio tracks first. Pneuma would be a good start...
@Nemesis 23 Pneuma is my next Tool video. :)
As for Maynard staring at one person in the crowd...yes. Now imagine instead of a sea of people at a concert you were in a small dive bar and Maynard was staring a hole into you from 7 feet away. Ok. Got it? That's the live performance on UA-cam titled "Tool Live Philadelphia 1992 Remastered (JC Dobbs) Full Concert" and you should definitely check it out. (The songs in that performance are as follows: Part of Me, Hush, Cold and Ugly, Sober, Sweat, Crawl Away, Swamp Song, Bottom, and Jerk Off)
I feel bad for the guy he was probably staring at during the concert, he would of been burning holes through his skull by the end. So intense I love Maynard!
Haha I just commented about this
@@Gideonite I think I'd be thrilled. I'd still have to eventually avert my eyes, because I'd just be getting too emotional.
Such a powerful performance. He's unbelievable
I love your comments
I love your thoughts
I love you!!
Keep being you!!!
Yeah, I can see that certain people might not get passed the initial image of a grown ass man sporting a pastel onesie, combat boots, and a major mohawk mullet, while simultaneously questioning his sanity & sobriety, but they’ll never get around to the awe & wonder of the art, the performance ~ the Performance Art ~ of an otherworldly singer & lyricist absolutely murdering his part to palpable perfection, along with the rest of his world class band mates, if I may add, (despite the less than stellar sound quality,) then no one who is a fan, here, can help them understand what the rest of us experienced.
Thanks for the review! I've been looking forward to seeing you watch the live performance. This song has always been very powerful to me. Maynard brings the art and the emotion. Thanks again!
I couldn't disagree more, this was the first song by Tool I ever watched/listened to and I prefer this to the studio version any day, this is more raw and emotional.
Same. Sometimes the performance can be more impactful even when the sound quality isn't as good as the studio.
I have no idea what she was looking at
Couldn't agree more that the first listen should always be studio quality. With headphones. Recordings of live performances are really just for the pre-existing fans.
Eagerly awaiting your reaction to Tool song Descending!!! It’ll invade your favorite list and re-rate your favorites
If that's the case, then I don't want to listen to it! :D
You nailed it on the head in your intro analysis clip! Brilliant deduction 💥❣️
Sound quality is crap, but such an incredible intensity. And he sings so good...
Agree a 100% on listening to the studio version of the song first mainly because with the studio song you “hear” the song then you “see” the song.
I have loved our journey all the way here.
I like to think Maynard’s outfits evolve with where he feels he is spiritually, and here early on he’s dressed like a baby because he feels like he’s in his infancy in some way
Totally agree with you, album version first
I like this video sounds good it's raw
First time I seen this video i thought Maynard really had to pee.,,,bad.
And YES, always listen to the studio version first....ALWAYS.
Woohoo! I've been promoted!
Been waiting for a year to see this one…bout time! Can you imagine being that person in the last row of the crowd left of the stage and Maynard is staring a hole in your soul for most of the song??!😬🫠🤯 It’s too long to react to, but if you are ever in the mood watch the JC Dobbs live recording of Tool playing in front of what seems like 13 people in a bar. He does the same stare to some poor victim, except it lasts for like 6 songs in a row🫣…and it’s Tool at their rawest, and Maynard at his angriest! “Tool it up”, winner of the internets phrase of the day award…🏆🤣
I totally agree with you Lauren. Studio version must be heard first
I can't be promoted any higher than I am. Loved your thoughts on the video.Funny story, this was the first Tool song I had ever heard except it wasn't Tool singing. It was a very popular local cover band called Empty Head and I grew to love it so much that I had to go to the local cd store and buy the original artist named Tool. That cd buy changed my life as far as music goes. I am so glad that Empty Head did it justice otherwise I may have never bought that cd. Also there was no internet then so you had to buy it. Anyways, I love Tool more than anything and believe that are the greatest band that has been or will ever be. Tool forever!!!!! BTW, love you Lauren! Another great vid!!
Maynard in his Gollum days was amazing
It always feels weird watching old Tool videos and seeing Maynard in front of the stage and not hiding somewhere in the background lol
wow, just discovered your channel and i think its pretty awesome. love your type o negative reactions. subscribed! 🤘🖤
Welcome aboard! :)
You need to watch Third Eye live
I feel like I know which video you're talking about. I throw it on still occasionally.
@@augiemesa9429 the one where he’s wearing a bra
If by "You need to watch Third Eye live" you really mean, "You need to listen to Third Eye and then watch it live because of what you said in this video" then ok. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee the sound quality is a whole lot better than Sober as well
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Yes. Studio version, then live version. Do them back to back, as well. Still do 2 different videos, but that would be cool!
#BASS
Third eye salival live version is a must see!!!!!! Amazing in all aspects!!!
Shout out to Stalking Butler. I think of you every time I hear this song now. 😄
Stalking Butler is still around but with a new name now. :D
I may have said it before, but I cried the first time I watched that video. I'm not boohooing, but I still get tears in my eyes every time I watch it. It is so intense and powerful, and Maynard really embodies the pain and frustration. I love it, but it's almost painful to watch. I loved your reaction. You really got it, unlike some. : )
For me, it was only painful to talk about. Definitely an amazing performance.
I always assumed Maynard was looking off to the side at the beer vendors while singing this song.
You MIGHT be prepared for this...
The drive and passion of MJK is what makes him great.
I want that Maynard onesie.
They should definitely sell them on their website as official merch. :D
The brilliance of this band...and how much they GET each other on literally every song, is just amazing. Maynard is of course a crazy genius but then again I think they all are. I just SMH at what they produce.
I always felt like he just picked some people in the crowd to focus on while performing this song... amazing performance!!!
He was so in character, he stared at a beer bottle for the entire song.
lol
Keep it up!
The entire point of listening to this version is to see Maynards live singing ability back then. It isn't for audio quality..... Because it's a live song.
❤
The long hair on guitar is Adam jones.
Danny's drum cam for "Pneuma" is a great slice of "Danny's drive-by drumming." He also did a video for "Lateralus," and there's an awesome drum clinic performance of "Rosetta Stoned" that's well worth seeing.
👏👏👏👏👏 🤘
Totally agree album version before live version, even if the live version sounds great you’re more likely to miss things while watching/listening to a live performance.
I 100% agree with you. I get so annoyed with people that recommend this video for the first exposure to Tool. The audio is absolutely awful.
For me, the performance outweighs the audio issue. I'd rather watch this video than listen to the album cut any day.
I thought the audio is pretty good. Especially given the age of the video.
In 2002, I saw Tool in Boulder, Colorado. I was the fortunate one who had Maynard's gaze the whole concert. He focused on me, and I focused on him. As the mosh pit zoomed behind me, I stood and sang my heart out to every song with him. I fed off of his emotions, and I like to think he fed off of mine. Though, that is probably hubris.
Thoughtful reaction, as always. I've heard Maynard has some stage fright issues, and that is why he focuses on one person. Anyway, I'm looking forward to more of your thoughtful Tool reactions. Please, keep them coming. ❤️
It's sad you don't see the theater.
I agree with the listen to the Studio audio first and on top of that if it is a cover always listen to the original first, Live shows are a different monster, but this was the embodiment of the message of the song.
I very much prefer people who react to the studio version because it sounds much better, may not be a band or song I’d heard in the past, and live audio could turn me off of something I’d actually enjoy. I do like the revisit reactions as well, because as you said, the live performance can add to the overall experience.
Honestly this was remastered in 2014 from a 1993 video I'd say that the audio is pretty good. But the main focus should be on Maynard's preference. I discovered this band Jinger from watching Tool reactions. Jinjer is a Ukrainian metalcore band that shares a lot of similarities with Tool. I they like to play around with their time signatures a lot and they fuse a bunch of different genres of music in to their music. Also they are fronted by an amazing vocalist Tatiana Shmailuk. The general introduction to Jinger is Pisces the live session but I think you might like Wallflower off their latest album Wallflowers.
I think Maynard had to have been on some pretty good acid that day ☀️ It really does look like he was actually battling demons up there...
The way You describe this vid gives Me goosebumps☺️😅
Aside from Maynard's performance, I really like Paul's playing here and during this era of Tool...cool that he's now the bassist for Ministry
I like this live version better than the studio one. Then agan, I saw this video first...
They do Tool it up after 98 and extend it in almost all their live shows. Check out a live version during their 98 tour. Superior sound and instrumentation.
Check out the Philadelphia concert from 1992. It’s probably 50 people in a bar. But he eyeballs someone or something the entire time and never freaking blinks. It’s the definition of intense.
This was a long time ago. They are a much better live band as their budgets have disappeared and equipment and techs are better. But this was Maynard back in a very raw state. A musical genius still growing.
This video was before anybody knew who TOOL was... The story goes they were on the side stage not the main Stage and they stole the crowd from the main stage because of their sound
If you think he is staring at one person in this performance... Check out the video Tool - JC Dobbs... Maynard locks on to one person for 45 minutes and doesn't blink... And it's a super small venue
Amazing that you saw that Maynard was doing. I am one of those people who thought he was high or constipated or something... Only when I watched one of those vocal coaches reacting to this video, I found out what he was on about. That would also be the reason why I don't understand (or fall asleep with) dance performances. BTW, the long haired guitar playing salt pillar is Adam Jones.
I completely agree with you that people should listen to the studio version of this before the live, and I generally feel that way about all music. It drives me nuts when people recommend the MTV unplugged version of Alice in Chains songs before recommending the studio versions... I know why fans recommend it, because they already have a connection to the studio versions, so when AIC did the unplugged set, with their whole back story of Layne's addiction, it was very powerful, but the reality is, the live stuff misses a lot of nuances that the studio versions have, and people coming fresh to these bands don't get the full impact of the songs when they hear the live versions first, they get the impact of the performance. I hope people stop recommending live version of songs to beginners, and also stop recommending The Pot as the first Tool Song to listen to! I mean I like it, but there are so many other quintessential Tool songs I'd recommend before that one... How The Pot became THE first song to recommend is beyond me.
Finally a promotion
He's portraying an old infant
Gotta react to Pneuma Danny Carey Drum cam video from Vic Firth!!!
I'm a corporal now woot
Congrats! :D
I miss Maynard out front. He is not "playing a character" here. He acted like this for every song they played...I know why he moved to the shadows, I just really enjoyed his performances...they are still uncanny live.
I definitely agree about audio first. Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice reacted to Master of Puppets except she chose the video of it from their Through The Never movie 😭 She spent more time being confused over what was going on screen instead of focusing more on the music even though it wasn't even a music video. Still annoyed by that 😅 But yeah like others say, the Pneuma Danny Carey drum cam vid is pro audio/visual 😊
FYI for those who do not know Maynard actually has really bad stage fright, especially during the early 90s. He stares off to get absorbed into the music. Sometimes people say he is disconnected to the audience but it make it more real and raw. He started to stand in the back ground later on and about 25% was due to his fear. He has said many times at Banquets he’s been to that he still has stage for even in his 50s.
people with stage fright don't go on stage in only their underpants
"why maynard hides in the back"
m.ua-cam.com/video/6Rug_gU-HP0/v-deo.html
No he doesn't. That's a myth
Joyride Chevelle
Some of us prefer the raw, stripped down live versions.
Chevelle, Joyride
His vocals were powerful versus the album
Audio 1st versus video first... pure studio bands, sure go audio first... but real fucking stage artists, that radio track is an afterthought to them.
Tool was in this for audience interaction, not radio play.
Did you ever watch the pneuma drum cam ?
Actually if it was a first listen you are drawn in by his performance. You would HAVE to hear the original
I see someone recommended watching Danny's Pneuma video, and although I know you would never do that, before actually listening to the song first, taking your own advice, I just want to make sure that occurs in the correct order. Now that I look further, there is more than one person who is trying to ruin your enjoyment. smh. I mean, do they even listen to what you say? LOL
I do look forward to when you get around to the Fear Inoculum album. That will be fun, to say the least.
That's actually my next Tool song. Not the drum cam, but the song itself. Next week. :D
Maybe they knew that and that's why?
Nope, it's not almost as if.
He used to have such hardcore anxiety on stage that he'd pick an imaginary fight with one specific audience member and stare at them the whole show
Dude I wish we had a better audio for this performance, the live bersion is WAY better than the studio
?
No it isn't ,....music is about the audio.
@@ysinvangulik1004 well duh, but what I'm saying is the performance itself was WAY better than the studio version, if it had as good an audio adio the studio version it would be a Way Superior song
Have you reacted to Send The Pain Below by Chevelle?
No because I knew that song before I started the channel. :)
Hi maam..please react no quarter by tool and please play the original version of led zeppelin and then the tool version..many fans are also waiting for you for this one..thanks a lot
Can I be an Admiral? Preferably, not a Rear Admiral though... Anyway, great video. You captured my thoughts exactly. I have seen so many reactors do this version first and I just don't get it. Yes, studio first - always
Drum cam
i've watched a lot of live Tool performances that have much better audio, but not "pro shot", so don't get recommended. would love to see reactions to live performances of "Eulogy" (10.16.1996) and "Bottom" (1992 @ JC Dobbs)
Agreed about people listening to live versions first. The first time you hear a song should be the studio version. The ONE and ONLY time this fact isn't true is for the song "God Hates a Coward" by Tomahawk, because, while the song is cool and all, the live, professionally shot performance with Patton wearing the respirator mask is perfection and actually sounds better than the recording. End.
I couldn't agree more. I have no idea why avid TOOL FANs will suggest this horrible sounding video to 1st time reactors. 🤦♂️ The best TOOL performance video is the 3rd Eye Live from Salival. But that is probably a bit much for someone that has never heard them.
WOW thats really weird/ you called him a victim for having an addiction. Isn't an addiction self induced?
First I guess
Your missing the performance
How so?
Ok...first your so nice to message back. Maynard is a chameleon. I've seen tool live on a few occasions as well as APC. His persona is mostly relative to what the message of the song is as he wrote it. He is theatrical that way and it may seem disturbing at times.
When I saw them at Lollapalooza in 1993 Maynard looked spider like as he sang. Crazy cool.
Maynard is a strange character, just sayin…
Why do you have the hand sign of Satan? With a heart? Symbols represent thousands of years of Showing those who they are.Whether they can or cannot read. I have no problem if you are.please don't tell me that the symbols are not. I have studied symbology and history for 30 years. With all due respect, Thank you.
This: 🤟? “I love you” in ASL, formed by blending letters I, L, and Y in sign language. No Satan worshipping here. 🤷♀️
most studio versions from tool are by way more worse than the live versions... tool is a live band and never ever a studio band.... same with black sabbath, iron maiden, ac/dc, pearl jam and and and... only the best can play live better than in a fckng studio... studio need novociebit*ches like gaga, swift, grande and co... they are without all the studiotechnic not better than my mom under the shower...
Fuck r we talkin bout? Live EARLY tool is the greatest thing in history. There is NO greater front man. Jagger, Plant, Morrison, Fucking Hendrix, Noone is better than early Maynard Live!
I assume you've heard the song 'the pot', the groove in that song just fucking DESTROYS
Yes and yes. :D
