➡️ Find me another band that can COMPLETELY transform you into their world - in minutes - better than @TOOLmusic can. I'll wait. "The Pot" from Tool's 2006 album "10,000 Days" is a perfect commercial rock song, but is also the complete anthesis of a commercial rock song at the same time. This band balances the art of obscurity and avant-garde composition styles while delivering it in such a way that immediately grabs anybody who listens. In this video, I listen to the studio version of "The Pot" and dig deep under the surface to figure out why it has the effect it has on listeners, tips on playing the iconic bass intro, Tool's unique composition style, how they fluidly code switch between each instrument, tips on dialing in Justin's magnificent tone, and much more. This song has INSANE replay value, and never gets old to me...

What’s your favorite Tool song, as far as Justin’s bass parts? It’s probably this track or “The Grudge” for me. Let me know what Tool should I should do next! 👊🏻💥
The Pot and Prison Sex 😂
Pneuma :D
Wings for Marie and 10000 days always 😁
my fav's: Lateralus, Vicarius & 46and2
My favourite is Forty Six & 2.
What I love most about Tool is how much space they like to use in their music. Long intros to build atmosphere, deep melodic intermissions that put you in a trance. They aren’t afraid to make you listen to a 10 minute song that feels like 5 only minutes. Such a special time to be alive to witness a gathering of such genuine art.
Tool and Rhcp are very similar. They are equally talented musicians.
@@inihawfestival7677 Comparing Anthony Kiedis to Maynard James Keenan is comical.
To be fair that's most of Prog metal/rock bands
@@whatdothlife4660 Or any of the rest of the band either. They are definately on a completely different plain
Yeah, comparing modern RHCP to modern Tool is kinda like comparing early 80s Stones to late 60s Beatles. Brown Sugar vs. Two of Us… the Stones are fucking hack sellouts.
The way that they truly play as a BAND makes me giddy. They’re each the master of their own domain but none seeks to be the star. So good.
Could not have said it better🙌
Best description I’ve ever come across. They really are just that
"This is just a funk song packaged in a metal housing." Perfect summary of this incredible song.
👍
I don’t think I’ve heard anyone articulate the sophistication of Tool’s music as well as you do. I’m constantly saying in my head “Yes! Exactly! That’s so insightful.”
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I made the same kind of comment. He's the "Tool "of reactors.
Shucks, y’all, that means a lot. I appreciate you guys watching! Darryl, Brian - thank you for this!
Great video mate! It truly is a masterpiece of a song. If you haven't already seen it, check out Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) analogy of the vocals. Also an awesome video!
Exactly, no need to try to spend hours trying to figure out the time signatures, which we all know are just out of this world, but spend time analyzing how each instrument (including MJK) just interweaves/diverts/converges with/towards each other. And the effects, and the progression of the song, etc. just Can say: Thank you very much ! Checking your Schsim video after this one
Thanks so much - hope you enjoy the "Schism" video! Cheers!
After Maynard sings "liar lawyer mirror for ya what's the difference?", the drums, bass, and guitar all come in simultaneously which to me is an exclamation point!
It was intense live in 2006/7
After you’ve been through the whole song getting all the different dynamics and then that point where it just drops with all the instruments hitting you’re right, that is 100% magic
@@clayyytonnn153saw them in 07, can confirm it was incredible
Conclusion: Tool is still as amazing as the first time you heard them.
That 4-on-the-floor drum and bass breakdown at 10:00 is some of the sickest stuff Tool has ever composed, in an incredible history.
It really just does make your head bop no matter what mood you are in.
You don’t know what 4 on the floor means do ya
I am a brand new tool fan and a guitarist and I love how subdued Adam Jones is. Never shredding or being obnoxious. Sometimes you forget he’s there. And I love when the guitar shuts up every now and then
Welcome to the club!
One of my favourite things about Tool is exactly that - you know Danny, Adam, and Justin could go absolutely HAM at all times, but they space it out and keep you wanting more.
Adam has always had such a knack for taking these simple parts and putting them together in such interesting and effective ways.
TOOL is art at the highest level. I see 4 master's at their craft:
Maynard's lyrics and vocals are well thought out and have so many meanings into one.
Justin's bass is like Thor's hammer in a bass guitar.
Adam's guitar is alien-like from the 4th dimension.
Danny's drum's and technique reminds me of a human octopus doing 12 things at once
add it all together and you get masterpiece music. Fuckin incredible band!!
Accurate.
1000000% Got to sere them this year, and i was physically blown away. Been going to concerts since the early 80's, saw some of the 'biggies', and with out a doubt, Tool had to be THE BEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. every sense was pummeled by the time i walked out of MSG. Being a drum and bass head, i was please to see Maynard is a part of the band with his vocals just being another instrument. Tool is definitely a band where you cannot remove one of its parts and continue on.
I think one of the most climactic songs is Right In Two. That song builds from a really slow melodic theme to a major climax.
I’m not even a tool fan but as a musician you nailed the explanations so perfectly. I’m probably about to dive into tool tomorrow for the first time because of this video
youre in for a ride
Welcome home Brother
'We wish you well'... start at Eulogy. If you're not sold, it's over haha
I'll be surprised if you're not a fan after exploring their catalog.
How did it go?
That speech around the 8 minute mark just put into words why I love tool so much. How they constantly build the song over the course of many minutes, and don't give you the peak towards the end even if the chorus has already happened. Meanwhile most other bands have the chorus be the peak, and it just doesn't mean as much
the pot bass is my all time favourite tool groove. Justin RULES!!!!
Dude appreciate the breakdown of Justins mastery of the bass. So many people praise Danny but Justin & Adam are phenomenal musicians as well. Best freakin band ever, nothing else is even close.
I haven’t thought of it before but the last part of the song, starting with “lier, lawer…”, is basically a quick recap of the whole song. First lone vocals, main riff, C over D, chorus, bride and then payoff (which is new). It’s been my favourite tune since 2006 and I’ve never thought of this before. Fucking Tool!❤
One of the best reviews I've heard of this song. Well done.
If this was the only song they released....they would still be legendary....a very special band
They’re one of a kind. I agree that there is no other band that can do what they do.
Fabulous analysis. Your ability to articulate the intricacies of Tool's music is second to none. Helps me appreciate their music on a deeper level. As a longtime Tool fan, I didn't even think that was possible. Thank you, sir.
Tool is one of the most cohesive band. Everything is well thought of. I love the little sounds here and there when you listen to their songs on headphones.. Even better live. 4 different people makes their music uniform and meaningful
My favorite song is 46/2. I love Justin's signature intro for that song.
There is no other band that will ever make you feel like tool.
Correct. Never.
I’ve been on a big Tool reaction binge recently, and this is a GREAT analysis. For the musically minded or trained, Tool songs are a total playground.
This is absolutely my favorite song from Tool. It has just the right amount of everything. You're right, no one instrument drives the song for long. Perfection
The Pot is one of my most favorite TOOL songs.. it's the emotion I have inside me while listening to this that makes this absolutely masterpiece..
Danny was a Jazz drummer before he joined Tool, he loves his high hat 😅
Danny was the drummer for Green Jelly, which is far from jazz! "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in."
One of my favorite things is to see people react to hearing Tool for the first time. It’s always blowing their minds
My mind still gets blown hearing them
Absolutely agree... I love a lot of other bands but there is just something about this band that gets the feels going - simply amazing
Great video! Not too long, not too short, and your analysis is on point. You know your stuff! Looking forward for more
Nice work. I like the way you present things to us and I look forward to more.
Love your analysis and breakdowns. Great presentations.
i cannot put into words how amazing this analisis is. ON POINT, my dude
Excellent analysis! Very interesting view points!
This song is a prime example of why they are called TOOL.. they use all The tools to capture each moment with different tool to drive the moment and section of the song . The artist level is off the charts...
You have no idea how much I needed this. Thisis my favoritesnf from Tool and I love watching reaction videos to it, I need no more, this was the best one ever. Specially cause I'm just learning howto play the bass. Loved it.
Excellent breakdown! Really enjoyed your perspective and insight. All 4 members are masters IMO
loved this video, i've always been such a big fan of this song (and album as a whole, i love it), and i never thought of going into such depth about the song like this and i never thought i needed it till today. great job!!!
The way you explain this song is perfect. I have listened to this song many thousands of times and every time I notice some new little thing that hits my brain's pleasure center. It is BRILLIANT
Superb analysis!!!
Damn! Such a great song and what a great analysis. Spot on!
Thanks so much for this video. I've always been so... captured by this song along with many other Tool songs and as someone who is learning but still very music illiterate I have never been able to illustrate what it is that's so amazing about their songs. Your breakdown does that perfectly. I can finally put my feelings for this song into words and understand what I'm hearing! :P
This video popped up on my Home Screen. TOOL has been my favourite band since the ‘90s. It made me happy how you broke this down and you can tell TOOL really means something to you. Subscribed. Onto watch your Schism video. 🤘🏼
Brilliant 🍃
your breakdown of the Master artists ~ Tool
I’m a guitar player but stumbled across this on my home page. Really enjoyed this video, very informative and broken down. Really enjoyable to watch! Keep the TOOL videos coming 🌀
I’m here for it! ❤. The funk, the soul, bluesy vibe this album emits hits!!! This was my favorite track but damn… they are all my favorite. Thank you for the informative view of a fantastic band/song.
This song makes the hair on my arms stand up. One of the most powerful heavy rock, metal songs I've experienced. All 4 guys are just absolutely just nailing this thing to the wall. Nice job showing how the complex bass parts are accomplished!
Glad I stumbled upon this video. I'm a sucker anytime The Pot comes up. But I like your application of theory and understanding how they composed, like the C/D or noticing the flat V etc. Good job
I do look forward to Tuesday and Thursday for your videos their such a treat Mark! The way you analyze and just speak is top tier!! We’re getting you on SBL you deserve all the glory from the bass community I loved how long this video was
Great analysis. Love it
They left the Pot on the high D bc it leads perfectly into Lipan Conjuring as a cool down and then into Last Keys,. Maynard has said himself in the past the reason they were not on streaming platforms was bc TooL Albums are created ands meant to be listened to front to back. You can pick many tracks throughout the discography that supports this and to this day TooL is one of the only bands that puts together a complete album that is created to be listened to track 1-10. Yes they make great singles. But if you also listen to the album as a whole. You understand the vision on each listening experience.
This is all true but keep in mind it's not only a tool thing. Pretty common for artists to construct albums as a whole.
Tool is light years ahead. Their execution, ideas, creativity, arrangement, transitions, lyrics make them exceptional; they have done what few other bands have. What makes them even more exceptional is that Tool is more of an experience than a band. Spiral Out...
Not sure I was ever as obsessed with anything quite as much as the first two minutes of this jam when it came out ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the best rock songs… Period.
Thank you so much for analysis - explaining who is playing what, when.and how. That is really important to me. I’m convinced you have to let their music flow around you leading you to something connected musically but new.
Taking my son to his first concert in January and of course it’s Tool. Been looking forward to this for a long time.
Love this unpacking. Couldn’t have been said better
fantastic analysis, thanks!
Awesome breakdown! You should analyze Wings for Marie Pt 2. It’s the only song Justin sits down to play live.
Excellent breakdown of a classic track. I'd recommend Kayo Dot if you're a fan of music that is very deliberate with a satisfying payoff. The composer, Toby Driver, also has some great bass tones.
Im speechless with this song....u made the song speak for itself....and i see the song slowly talk itself out....a few understands the song...u made it as if everyone is already opening up...their minds...good for them..to catch up to something good ....treasure worth a million listen
I just LOVE Justin !! He lays down what I like to pick up.
Guitar player here. This analysis was so on point and insightful, instant sub. Nice work man.
cool hosting, appreciate the analytic approach
Sevendust also has amazing drum lines that just compliment the bassline incredibly well.
really good analysis of one of my favorite songs
Man really love the sound you made ;)
really enjoy your analysis, thanks
Amazing stuff. The Pot is one of my sll time faves, the groove is too good. Also mix is perfectly balanced
Best analysis of this or any Tool song I've seen on UA-cam! Subbed!
Wow, thanks for the high praise! Appreciate you Jonathan - see you around!
Every time the pot hits on my Spotify, everyone within like a 10 meter distance listens to it with me! That song is so 🔥
I said this from the first time I heard them back in 93’ until now. They are without a doubt the most “Dynamic” band of my generation.
did not know that was a base solo. love tool. great video man
You are doing crazy good reactions / breakdowns , keep it up!
That means so much to hear. THANK YOU!! Cheers!
This is the most informative reaction video I've ever seen! I'm pumped to learn why I love TOOL more. Also, I don't share vids often... sent this one to a few, thx
Great job .... great song ... Tool is a unique band .... always is a journey ... please more the Justin , Adam , Danny and Maynard
what a great approach and execution of an analysis vid for tool... well done!
Thank you kindly!
Absolutely insane front to back!!!
Check out 10000 Days (Wings Part 2), underrated bass part
That's like one of the only songs Justin uses finger-picking for and it is absolutely beautiful.
TOOL is totally unique, really on it's own league. The greatest musical phenomenon of recent times. These guys are revolutionizing music, not just Rock/Metal but music in general. Genius work of composition, like Yes and Rush was back then but even better. It's just incredible.
Add meshuggah up
@@arlancastillo1637 Meshuggah did but in all honest their formula has stagnated a fair bit. Thier technical ability is amazing but their composistion skills stopped getting better years ago. Dont get me wrong they are amazing bit they stopped changing the game.
Incredible analysis.
Great composition work. Welcome to the world of Tool...
Yeah, I've always felt this song is all about the bass. That's what I love so much about TOOL. Not many rock/metal bands really let the bass shine quite like they do.
Very well analysed and professionally done here. Awesome review my friend! 🎉🎉🎉
Gosh you can put on words while I feel each time I hear tool and tool is the only band I never get tired of hearing
Man, first time watching one of your videos. I just completely vibed with everything you were spotlighting. It’s like hanging out with my buds listening and talking music. Great post Justin.
This might be my favorite comment I've gotten. I appreciate that observation, because it's more or less what I feel like on the other end, and what I hope to achieve with these videos. See you around, Scott! Cheers!
Im less than 4 minutes in and Im so excited about this video just because as a tool fan everytime I listen to the pot I cant help but notice how much Justin carries the song the whole time, so seeing a bass teacher analyze it is just *chefs kiss*
I love how this channel introduces old and new bands/songs I’ve never considered listening to…. Until I see Mark’s review!
yopu are one of my favourite bass players, scale the summit its one of myu favourite bands and tool wass so much importtant in my journey to became a musician , i mean all the thing i love in just one video, amazing
I loved that and lso really enjoyed the schism and other videos. Tool are an amazing band.
I found you by accident while searching for bass guitars for my daughter who is learning to play and I was going through youtube about them.
Your videos are fantastic, I love what you do and your passion.
Really appreciate the time and effort you put in and have watched a quite a few so far and look forward to going through your work.
I don't play bass but love it and find it can be underrated as an instrument.
What you do here is show how important and what bass brings to music and just want to give you acknowledgement.
I love music in many genres.
Cheers.
I’m new to your channel but I just subbed because the way you connect what musicians hear and how it relates to what a song FEELS like is unique. Your explanation of why the intro bass FEELS different due to the technique used is not something the average person would ever be able to discern. Thank you for digging deep into what makes Tool unique and why they have that “distinct” sound that non-musicians wouldn’t ever be able to articulate.
Few bands are able to appeal to both musicians and normies (like dirty loops), and you’ve successfully described how they’re able to do that. 👏 👏
High praise! This means so much, thank you!! I really enjoy trying to point out subtleties that I've noticed that seem to be really impactful to the whole delivery of the song. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this. See you around!!
that Bass is Beautiful !!
I knew this song was a masterpiece. I now better understanding of why. Great analysis. Subbed.
Dude, FANTASTIC point about the loss of swagger when picking every single note! I never noticed that before, but you're 100% right, that undefined swagger factor is key to the "soul" of this song. My fav Tool song is the current Tool song I'm listening to at that moment haha! Thanks for the video, count me subbed!
67 year old man here, I have loved Tool since I first heard them. You have a very good take on what they do.
Even when i love The pot for introducing me to 10k Days album, my favourite song will still be Vicarious, that song has something special too.
great take on a fantastic song
That was well described. "One way ticket you can't get off, and don't want too".. there's so many endings that you have to listen to the build up, to really get all the emotion and build up we were waiting for.. so many great songs by tool have this, and do this to me.. u can't just start at the ending, u must listen to it allth way thru, like a one way ticket.. I like that analogy sir
Tool is a special band right up there with NIN im so glad i found them early in life, grew up in the 90s what a great time for bands. cheers thanks for the video
I look forward to your Helix patch. I’m only a casual Tool fan but always appreciate the musicianship of them all especially those basslines and that TONE is killer. Can’t wait to try it out!
Hey there, just letting you know I've released my Helix presets that include the Tool one I'm using in this video. It's over on the Low End University Patreon: www.patreon.com/LowEndUniversity
An excellent explanation musicly!
