I have long said that tool doesn’t write songs so much as they construct vast sonic rooms filled with dark and wondrous things then invite us all in to have a look around. Look carefully and you’ll find something new on every visit.
I’ve seen something with Justin where he said that this riff is why they hired him- they heard it and knew they wanted to make a song of it, so they had to hire him so they could use it.
@@rjanolsen3935 Hmm... Everything I've ever heard is that Justin wrote this riff just before his audition to join TOOL. Do you know something most people don't?
This! This is the analysis I was hoping for. Those of us that are into the band / music are here to have you explain those subtleties. Having you dive into the scale, chords and theory is so fascinating - and I am a complete novice who can read tab but I have noodled on guitar for years. Having you explain why the music pulls at my heart strings in an accessible way is just so good. Thank you so much for the content.
Justin's bass work is really elegant and sublime. On the surface, it seems like he's just repeating himself on a lot of songs, but like you pointed out, he does these really subtle and nuanced evolutions that can reorient the feel and soundscape with just a single note. I'd love to hear you break down 7empest from Fear Inoculum. The middle instrumental section is especially amazing where Danny and Justin lay down some of the sickest and yet subtle groove for Adam to provide his magnum opus of guitar work.
@@ileutur6863 clear your ears out and approach with an open mind. Its phenomenal guitar work with amazing feel, tone, texture, and technique. Its up there with some of David Gilmours best solos.
7empest is incredible work for sure. In my mind Triad has to take that title for Adam. Tool has such a diverse discography and yet staying true to their sound. That alone speaks volumes to their talent. They settled into a niche and did so with such prominence.
Holy crap! I’ve heard this song so many times I can’t count. Still I have goosebumps like freakin’ gravel on my skin now, long after the video ended! Tool is one of few bands that give me the chills, only when Tool does it, it’s more like an intense brain freeze that quickly flows through my spine and out to all extremeties! Feels SO good! 🫠❤
Tool is the whole reason I decided to learn bass. So I want you to know that I tremendously appreciate the fact that you are breaking down some of their songs. My favorite songs for Tool bass are Descending and Aenema. Both are just amazing, driving rhythms that crush all other rock music, in my opinion
@@commiehunter733Tool songs, especially starting with Lateralus but there are shades of it earlier, are never really about only one thing but rather use one thing as a metaphor or layered meaning so their listeners can dive as deep as they want and still come out with something useful. So yes, on one level it is the idea that the next step of human evolution is coming (46 referring to the total number chromosomes with the and 2 referring to the transformation). But that is hardly the only explanation. Tool/Maynard have a fascination with eastern mysticism and elements of it come through in their lyrics (think Third Eye) and I think this song has a layered meaning there to, as the idea of stepping through the shadow is something often talked about when trying to achieve higher levels of consciousness (prying open my third eye), so if one wants synergy between the meanings, perhaps what Maynard is getting at is that the next step of human evolution is achieving that higher, transcendental consciousness. I’m reluctant to ever get too specific because Maynard himself will tell you the song means what you as the listener take out of it, but I do think that’s where he was going here.
You do a great job at conveying the details so that people who have never played bass can still understand. Much appreciated! So many great Justin Chancellor heavy TOOL songs for you to dig through and I'm here for it!
46&2 was the song that first got me interested in Tool, so it has a special place in my heart and is probably my favorite song off Aenema as a consequence. But yeah, there’s so much good stuff to choose from that picking a favorite song from their whole catalogue is impossible. On most of their albums it is damn hard (Lateralus or The Grudge; Rosetta Stoned, Vicarious, or Right in Two; 7empest, Invincible, or Descending… you get my point) to pick one favorite.
Simple, rustic, beautifully complex and elegant. From Fear Inoculum, for me it’s hard to go past Invincible but Pneuma is always fun to listen to. Both songs, like the whole album, are great platforms for rhythmic indulgence.
you should react to "kids play 46&2 " from the O'Keefe Music Foundation. As a teacher I think you could appreciate what they're doing. Teaching not only musicianship but production skills too. sound mixing, lighting, videography.
Huge Rush influence in this band. Taking odd meter and making it accessible while taking common time and making it sound inaccessible. Taking a familiar pattern at the beginning, and coming back around to it at the end to give the song balance and closure...master class in songwriting and structure! As a drummer and a bass "noodler" this is an eargasm! Reply
As a musician who doesn’t know a ton of theory, I really appreciate these types of analysis. You point out certain things like subtle key changes or moments when there are subtle single-note changes that give an intangible, mysterious flavor to Tool songs. This song is a contender for best bass riff of all time, and best rock chorus of all time. It’s so electrifying❤
Ha! I do indeed have perfect pitch, but definitely not a genius 😅 I just enjoy talking music and the things I do know about it. Cheers Kyle, really appreciate you stopping by!
I love your break downs of tool and makes sense to me with way I've structured them myself. I've never looked under the hood like this and I just love it
New to your channel. I love your analysis. You do a great job of translating what you hear and explaining WHY it sounds good. You also taught me a new word. I can't spell it. (Australiandanandando?) :) But I know what it means now. And it makes good sense and is a great way to describe a unique aspect of a song - although many songs do it in some way. You are a good teacher. Subscribed! Stay awesome.
It’s not chorus, it’s flanger 😀 also, right before the guitar solo Adam and Justin are playing together and then diverge to off time and then back on again. Listen closely. It’s incredible.
I never appreciated this song until I saw the video of the O’Keefe Foundation kids playing it. Also, the lyric is fascinatingly deep. ua-cam.com/video/mYKLvYGqaC0/v-deo.htmlsi=EeIUqUmRI1mRmDui
It’s pure”feel/rhythmic push-pull”that’s common in the blues,jazz,hip hop,& eastern euro Balkan gypsy/folk,just structured and precise to the theme..100% emotionally derived then the technical stuff focuses it,it’s lovely to hear in heavy music cuz it’s perfect 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@lowenduniversity my votes on Fear Inoculum are as follows. Tough to chose just 1 so I’ll list a few. 1)Pnuema 2)Invincible 3)Decending 4)Tempest 5)Culling Voices 6)Fear Inoculum Can’t go wrong with any but a side note, Invincible will remind you in part of this song you did here 46 & 2. Can’t wait!
12:29 is a show of pure talent and sound blending. Thats the guitar and the bass trading off playing the same riff...... your description earlier was mind opening though nuance thats the genius of tool.
A subtle detail that I LOVE about the drum solo/interlude is that the bass and guitar move around each other slightly, as if alluding to the "shadow" theme (12:10 - 12:21 for example).
Always get so excited for your breakdowns, but when it's tool....I'm obsessed. It would be sweet to see you take a closer look at songs such as Eulogy, Right in two, or perhaps other tool songs where justin toys with alot of effects.
This song has really interesting panning choices in it, especially with the guitar. Some parts are a single guitar up the middle and sometimes double tracked and panned wide. Excellent production choices.
I am 53 years-old. I have been a fan of Tool since i was 22. Tool have never been a "heavy metal" band, they have, thankfully, defied being part of a genre for their existence. As a kid who fell in love with 'punk music' as a child, Tool, like many bands i grew up with, defy categorisation. I applaud that.
I’d love to hear your take on the songs Undertow and Flood, both from the Undertow album. They’re a couple in the catalog that a bunch of folks either don’t know about or have just overlooked.
It’s a Balkan/Gypsy scale,”eastern”whatever,checkout the same time,scales here,Vlatko Stefanovski/Leb I Sol-“Jovane Jovanke”it’s an old classic,awesome player/s too🤘🏻
Thank you thank you for your analysis. Getting sick of - this is hot, this is sick. What on earth does that mean? While I am not a musician I have played several instruments and am ALWAYS wondering “how did they do that?” Again Thank you and please go forward with more Tool!
"They're not going to come in with some prog circus music section." I had to laugh because, well, listen to the song "Intermission" from this album 😆😆 It leads perfectly into Jimmy and it's so Maynard it's not funny 😆😆
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Pneuma and Invincible off of Fear Innoculum. I love the earlier, raw, visceral Tool, but I also love the more matured Tool in FI.
Yeah, I love the "triplet things" when they pop up. There's two other sets: towards the end of Vicarious and in Pneuma before the last chorus. Triplets are all over the place, but those are 3 where the slower sets really stand out against the main rhythm, IMO.
To me, Ænima is the essential Tool album. I highly recommend you listen to the entire album multiple times. There is quite a story behind the production of this record. I can't remember the exact details off-hand but I know when it was pressed, the mastering wasn't done the way the band wanted it. It's actually not mastered very well if you really compare it to other recordings of the time, but because Tool such a great band, and it's mixed so perfectly, it still sounds amazing. I still hold out hope for a re-release remaster one day.
Really now? Pretty interesting. The album does have a pretty raw sound, but always hard to know if that's a technical error, or the band's artistic preference.
@@LowEndUniversityya I would have suggested that as it is my favourite bass feature the melody Justin plays in the slower part near the end is absolutely beautiful... I only say no quarter to not really put the song under the microscope but what they did to it and Justin's tone in his section I really would like to know how to get that tone
This is one of my favorite bass songs ever.. it a little difficult for my level of playing.. but so dam good. Love the change ups throughout.. Justin is so distinct with his play with a pick..
I remember how popular this was at the time. Like a new band doing something different but 10 fold. I still don't believe I could be more impressed by an album. There was nothing since Metallica. As a new wow anyway. One of the greatest albums ever.
Having seen them live many times now, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's Danny's band. Every time we've seen them, Maynard is lurking around the year of the stage, prancing like a spider half in the dark. Adam and Justin are clearly visible, but they're off to the sides of the stage, and sort of center side is Danny's kit, and he's always lit the best. They put on a show, big scene, moving lights, etc (referring to indoor show set ups, of course) but the real show is kind of obvious that it's Dan. And seriously, he should be the show cuz he makes these intricate pieces look stunningly casual, like he's out for a light stroll. I just recently got to see Mastodon and Gojira, two incredible drummers, and they both look like they're putting out way more effort than Dan does. Bran especially as he sings too, though he finished their set not looking nearly as taxed as Mario did by the end of their set. Great bands though, recommend to EVERYONE that they see all of them live if at all possible.
Anybody else hear a similarity to the bass motif from DT's "Home" from Metropolis Pt. 2? I often find myself hearing similar themes between the bands, clearly they have influenced each other. The Tool rhythm section is almost its own genre...
I have long said that tool doesn’t write songs so much as they construct vast sonic rooms filled with dark and wondrous things then invite us all in to have a look around. Look carefully and you’ll find something new on every visit.
Agree 💯
Yes. That. ☝️
everything after doesn't write songs is completely inaccurate.
@@blurplebear8573 Care to explain your difference of opinion?
How do you get that Tone ? It pretty much nails the Recording. 👍
Danny: "I'm doing a solo now"
Justin: "I'm in 7"
Danny: "What?"
Justin: "What?"
Adam: "Hi"
Good one!
Maynard:okay fine I’ll just scream for 20 seconds without stopping to breathe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun facts. When Justin interviewed for tool this was one of the riffs he played for them
That’s so cool. They were just like “oh well that’s going into a song “ 😂
I’ve seen something with Justin where he said that this riff is why they hired him- they heard it and knew they wanted to make a song of it, so they had to hire him so they could use it.
Dr Mark dissecting a Tool song is what I needed to start the day. Thank you, sir.
Yes!
Very Nice! 😊
Justin has the best bass tone in music today.
Mark has the best hair.
Underrated comment.
Paul made this line but Justins sound is out of this world

hes a average pick bassist
@@sebg2086you definitely have not listened to tool for more than ten seconds.
The best thing about Tool, everything is meant to shine on its own.
It's so nice to hear someone that knows what they're talking about, talk about what they know. 👍
Great review bro!
Glad you enjoyed!
You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t really deep dive Ænima. It’s a masterpiece
Absolutely. I didn't respect it until I half way understood it.
I second that. It was my first and my first love. Perhaps their best?
My favorite album of all time.
@@stevewyman6848I would definitely say it’s their best.
that basslines is pretty average.....just full of effect
This song made me buy my first chorus pedal 20 years ago and I still use it. Boss bass chorus ceb-3

My favorite songs for Tool bass are Descending and Aenema. Both are just amazing, driving rhythms that crush all other rock music, in my opinion
I love your Tool videos. I'm not musically trained, and your analysis add so much to the songs.
The Lyrics are also super interesting. Maynard is just a genius when it comes to philosophical texts.
I heard its about evolution of humans gaining chromosomes

The bright major sound always comes in when M says shadow to drive home the duality
Layers and layers of cool Easter eggs in this one!
The mix on this song is perfection
There is just no wrapping your head around Tool. They are awesome, and possibly alien.
Do Eulogy Next! Believe it or not, that song has even more to dig into
I absolutely love hearing you break songs down it’s like your solving a mathematical equation, definitely do something from the new album!
Jambi hammers right out of the gate and, in my opinion, is one of their heaviest songs! Check it out! As a fellow bass player, I highly recommend it!
Love it!
Also Invincible goes real heavy in the middle. The chug is amazing.
Love it. When somebody asks me "what's your favorite TOOL song?" I say there is no such thing. But 46&2 is insane.
I had that response for years, but after a decade long love with the album, I am constantly drawn back for Jimmy.
I have found at any given point in time my favorite TOOL song is either the one I am listening to at that moment or the last TOOL song I listened to.
46&2 was the song that first got me interested in Tool, so it has a special place in my heart and is probably my favorite song off Aenema as a consequence.

Absolutely! That vid is just incredible, especially the vocalist, the drummer and the bassist. A real must watch
Kids did a fantastic job on it.
The kid on cowbell really ties it all together.
Super sick still after all these years
The bit around three minutes into the song is so flavourful (is how I'd describe it), it's just perfect
Got a new subscriber. This breakdown of this song was incredible man 🔥

Love your reactions, thank you!
Your breakdowns are remarkable. Sub'd.
Really good! Beautiful analysis and beautiful description. You have fully honored this little, great masterpiece.
One of my favorite bands. Always keeping us listening. time stamp 15:41. no that chorus is what makes that 'Tool" sound

It’s pure”feel/rhythmic push-pull”that’s common in the blues,jazz,hip hop,& eastern euro Balkan gypsy/folk,just structured and precise to the theme..100% emotionally derived then the technical stuff focuses it,it’s lovely to hear in heavy music cuz it’s perfect 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

You do an awesome job man. Thank you so much.
AEnema was what got me hooked on Tool in the mid 90s
I like this dude. He’s the Rick Beato of bass! SUBSCRIBED! 👊
Fear inoculum next.
Man, that _sick_ bass solo from "Invincible" could be a video by itself!
Hell yea!
This song has really interesting panning choices in it, especially with the guitar. Some parts are a single guitar up the middle and sometimes double tracked and panned wide. Excellent production choices.
I cannot get enough of your Tool reactions. Take a listen of Pneuma, or 7empest (which is a Grammy award winning song), and please share!

Absolutely no idea what you were talking about, but interesting none the less. Plus its Tool, so automatically cool in my eyes!! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely check out Invincible from Fear Inoculum. Lots of cool bass parts. And a bass solo! Probably my favorite song off of the new album.

Great bands though, recommend to EVERYONE that they see all of them live if at all possible.

Me: *looks at 'Intermission' intensely*
Anybody else hear a similarity to the bass motif from DT's "Home" from Metropolis Pt. 2? I often find myself hearing similar themes between the bands, clearly they have influenced each other. The Tool rhythm section is almost its own genre...
I always thought that song sounded like it belonged on a tool album , home is one of the best songs on metropolis pt 2
Another Tool video! YESHHH
You know it! 👽
