Steve the lyrics are very deep. The fact you took the time to really dive into them shows a lot about your intellect. Excellent job
Couldn't have said it better
amen brother!!
He does that with all his music listening. Man's lowkey genius
@@CalebBohanon As a women I look at him with all those muscles and face and I never would have believed he had such intellect and depth . I am old 70 and don't understand what he is talking about sometimes. But Google helps. I have watched a lot of his reaction video's and he has taught me a lot about rap.
@@dbn52 as a young guy I also have the same expectations of him. It's amazing that not only does he have the motivation to do what he does, but also that he is as coherent and wise as he is. I'm a huge NF fan, and watching him experience it gives whole new meaning to music I sometimes take for granted. It's also great to see people learning about rap!! Do you have a favorite song or rapper?
Tool Army + Stans = Million subs 😆
Need more Tool!!!
for real tho
She’s right!
Let’s get to a MIL
FACTS!
Facts!
Tool is one of the most sophisticated rock bands that has ever existed. Once they are in your blood there's no going back. Its almost a religious experience to listen to them.
Lateralus changed my life.
What he said.
@Cripple Boy You wound me, sir.
It's a philosophical experience thats rhe best way i can put it Maynard always puts me in a differnt headspace
And unfortunately almost all other music is trivial after a tool imergence
In the 1990's, my Daughter stole my first Tool CD... My Daughter passed away in 2019, she was 33.. Found out her favorite song was 46&2.. I had never heard it until she was gone however, I knew much better who she was... This song is beautiful in so many ways.... Love you Baylee WE=mc2
My condolences, good to know you have a stronger connection to her through her favorite art.
Much love and respect from Mexico 🤝
Tool been in their own lane since day one. Absolute legendary band. Nobody wants THAT smoke.
I know the pieces fit... 🤘🤘🤘
I agree but a group that can Technically fuck with Tool is Dream Theater! They are just totally different styles!
Totally their own lane! The combination of lyrics and instrumentation is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥!
@@jasonhutcherson6224 ...just me but, Dream Theater were trying to show you how difficult they can be. For me, Tool tells the story better.
I just can't think of Dream Theater making a song like Wings for Marie/10,000 Days.
@@monstaart420 because I watched them fall away. 🤘
And so it begins, I hear the Tool army knocking
As can i
Knock knock?
@@viking_nor thousands of us are knocking mate hahaha
Too late we are here & not going anywhere.. knock? we don't knock we break the door down with Maynard's primal scream lol
Here, here.
You didn't sound dumb. As a life long Tool fan, Maynard's lyrics are hard; hard to decipher, hard to digest, hard to work through. Some songs are easy (Hooker with a Penis is a diss track to a type of "fan", Ænema is a condemnation of the LA lifestyle, etc) and some require a deep understanding of a subject like this one. Glad you liked it and welcome to the Tool fandom.
Stevie- Take a listen to parabol/parabola and lateralus. You want some mind bending music, you hit the right band with tool
Agreed, agreed! The Pot is perfect too just cuz its all bars and ROCK 🤘😆🤘
Well said. It’s hard to even explain Tool to somebody that’s never heard them. It’s an experience that has to be taken by the listener.
This song means the world to me, helped pull me out of a deep depression 12 years ago.
BIG PROPS for giving it a chance!
I am 73 yrs old and a dedicated, 23 yr TOOL addict. It never gets old and I am always fiinding some nuance that amazes me again. Enjoy the ride.
Damn James I'm 66 and thought I was the man but you're the man.
@@davideldridge9021 You're *both* the man!
Mad respect. Must’ve been waiting for the most recent album so I respect it even more
@@davideldridge9021 He was 22 when Sabbath came out.............I can "see" him being a tool fan hands down!
It never gets old…only better.
clicked this so fast bro you have no idea how hype i am to see you react to tool, absolutely best band to ever grace this planet but i'm probably biased! either way glad you're starting to go down the rabbit hole. spiral out!
Hell yeah grim 🤣
I saw this and said FINALLY! Let’s go Stevie
I would say, the best band around in our days. I can't compare them to Genrefounders like Zepplin or Sabbath.
I just hope he is ready to go down this hole 🕳 but awesome that he is trying
I totally agree.
Me too lol
One of my favorite things is seeing someone experience TOOL, and coming to the realization that they're just on a level no other band can touch. Welcome to the army.
"This shit hit different, bruh". Lmao. Straight up best band ever.
Maynard wasn't high he's just smarter than most musicians
Nah bro he was high too lol
Nah man. He’s a sober dude. He likes a little wine that’s it. Said it himself on the JRE podcast. He actually has a vineyard in Arizona where he lives.
Ehh he did a lot of acid man back in the day
@@bosnow9221 he used to trip thou hardcore
@@mwaters421 really? I never heard or read that he ever did. Said he sinker a little pot and drinks a little wine. But maybe he did.
As a metal head that grew up listening to Tool, I must voice my appreciation to you. For you to never have listened to Tool in the past being able to "see" the song more then just hearing it is next level. Thank you.
This 💯
Great reaction and commentary. I like this comment too.
Tool literally saved my life! I was suicidal an alcoholic and coke addict, Tool taught me, that we can always learn and evolve
This channel is dope because it actually takes the effort to delve into the meaning behind the lyrics and can show appreciation for the depths of everything from yelawolf or tech nine to Metallica or Tool. Love it💯💯
I FREAKING agree with you on this statement!
i've watched this channel for over a year and have never felt I needed to comment. Once you open the bag of Tool music you don't come back out. Schism, The Pot, theres so many to choose from.
Aenima
Sober
Lateralus
The Pot, Stinkfist, Vicarious, Bottom, Crawl away etc, etc.
Jambi
Everyone of his songs are like this. Maynard Keenan (lead singer) doesn't get high. He is smart as fuck. He is an anomaly. I've been a tool fan since 95 when I was 13. Been to see them live 8 times. There is no other band that compares to them. The fact that you are wanting to figure this song out is definitely💯
Do you happen to wear van’s?
@@adammaynard5683 like 20 years ago
@@joshbryant4629 Got any dope Beastie tee’s?
I'm ogt from 92 the first ep
@@DR.DisInfect yeah your profile name speaks for itself.
The artwork is done by Alex Grey, he's an amazing artist
I love how they lull you with a soft melodic intro and verse, but then smashes you with a chorus that blows you away. Justin Chanselor with his bass, Adam Jones on guitar, Danny Carey killing it on drums, but Maynard Keenan lulls then smashes you with his vocals. One of the greatest bands ever.
Tool is a mind blowing band. Literally. Well thought out everything
That's why each album is in development for 3-5 years lol
Figuratively.
@@ramudon2428 picturing heads literally exploding
@@ramudon2428 Hey 50% chance of "literally well thought out *everything" right? Shit, I can't find a better description for their craft. Let's go spode some noggins!
Whoooa..... We doing this shit, bro?!?! TOOL is the Greatest thinking band of all-time! Let's take this ride, bro!
His goal is to do exactly what you did. Question everything and learn about everything. You have a deeper understanding than most.
"Think for yourself and question authority."
My late husband was such a huge fan of Tool. I’m so happy he got to see them live before he died. I can’t listen to them without crying though. Thanks for sharing this!
Ah man, hell yea. You nailed it btw, you can be a Tool fan for decades just enjoying the musical arrangements and Maynard's incredible voice, nevermind digging deep into the lyrics which only gives the songs that much more weight. As a metalhead for the past 20+ years, it's been a really cool experience watching you take that "lyrics-first" approach to some of these real badass classics.
Agree
Well said. I've been listening to tool/perfect circle since early nineties. Knew the lyrics, just never gave them a second thought. Well around 2010, a friend brought up something maynard was speaking on in one of his songs. I argued with the man about what he was saying it meant, I went back home and dug into it on my own..... It's like I was hearing them for the first time all over again. Love that he is doing this...... I really think he would appreciate rage against the machine alot as well. Not as deep as this, but their music ALWAYS has a deep ass meaning to them... And with things going on in the world now, the lyrics mean even that much more!!
Yes!!!! Every time I jam took it takes me somewhere new and I love it. I am a lifelong fan! Cerebral rock!
Carl Jung was an intellectual juggernaut. His work will fuck you up when you first start reading it. He’s one of the reasons I became a psychology major.
A juggernaut? You got into psychology because of a racist, cult leader, and a danger to his own patients and profession?
I am completely in awww by this reaction.. he was soooo in tune with the lyrics, the break down and understanding of the meaning while behind an amazing beat most people just nod their heads to the beat never bothering to understand or appreciate the full song.. meaning, lyrics, instruments, harmony. Thank you so much for this. Much Love. ❤
Do The Pot!!!! You'll groove so hard to that one. You definitely hit on a lot of the meanings in this song for sure. Great breakdown.
Maynard James Keenan is a genius. Tool is one of the few bands that can consistently give me chills when i listen to it. Even after listening to these same songs for 20 plus years.
I still tear up on Wings of Marie Pt2 where he's singing about his mom pounding on Heaven's Gate demanding that those assholes inside better pay up and give her her wings.
"High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground,
You were the light and the way that they'll only read about,
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out,
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough,
You're going home!
You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fist at the gates saying
I have come home now,
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father,
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended!
It's time now! My time now!
Give me my, give me my, wings!!!
It hits me deep because, like Maynard, I'm a nonbeliever but my dad deserves his wings the moment he passes. I don't believe it at all, but if anyone deserves it to be true it's my dad (like Maynard feels about his mom).
Just hits so deep.
And an asshole , but yes still brilliant.
The goal of integrating the shadow is to realize you are the cause of all of your suffering. Your shadow is evil, and you must accept it, or you will push the evil onto others. Before you can be good, you must know the evil you are capable of.
It is that denial that is driving the cancel culture as it exists today.
Then you find out your shadow is your inner child.
Yes! acknowledge it, but don't let it win.
@@kristinadk as a thought exercise I've imagined a torture scenario to surpass anything I've ever heard of. It was fueled by anger but, driven by reason. The result is something I've told very few people because, as is increasingly apparent, one must be very careful with whom we share. Regardless, it's always been shocking and horrifying and, comes with the same admonishment "you would never do that, would you." To which I first point out the obvious, I don't have the skills necessary to attempt such a thing and, secondly I can't imagine devoting the years required to carry it out. And after many years of contemplation, I've come the conclusion that true evil is more than a random act of violence or, even a deliberate act of violence. It is a very calculated and patient action designed for maximum suffering. The suffering can include death but, death can never be the goal because death is inevitable and how can the dead continue to suffer?
We must be weary that in our efforts to prolong life, we don't unwittingly enable suffering. Right to die comes to mind. The debate seems never ending yet, I've known few who said they would gladly live as a vegetable on life support with the hope of medicine someday being able to heal them.
Imo the whole “shadow integration” thing is really hard because it involves being brutally honest with yourself about the times you’re a hypocrite and project on to others
Effing loved this vid and the way you took the lyrics and rhythms to heart
Respect! Thanks for doing these
Anytime the song, makes you do research 7 seconds in, it's LIT.
Tool is what transient you bro
Stevie doing tool and metallica makes me at peace
I've watched a bunch of your videos but you got me with this one. Subscribed!
Love this reaction bro ❤️ Tool are on a whole other level
Dude! You did it! Lol. I'm glad you actually dove into it, too. If you do any more, I think you'd like Right In Two and Lateralus (which is completely musically/mathematically composed to align with the Fibonacci Sequence). Welcome to the wormhole, bro.
WHAT!? That's fucking insane! I grew up a rock fan and still am but have really turned to hip hop lately. I've always respected Tool's music but never knew it was that in depth and creative! Thanks for that cool fact.
@@hoopwizardws Dude lol look into it, the beats, the lyrics' syllables, whole song revolves around the Fibonnaci Sequence, it is fucking mind blowing diving down the rabbit hole of that song and that album in general, the theories about the "hidden track order" and shit, it's a whole world you can get lost in, be careful lol
46 & 2... Right in Two.. Lateralus... All some of my favorites. :)
Spiral out!
Right in two, sends the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end every time.
Lateralus is a tool masterpiece, both the song and the album
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. MY TOP 5 BAND
OH WOW! Sending so much Love out to you right now. From a TOOL fan since the very beginning...This is the BEST reaction to this song I have ever seen! Seeing you break the surface and scratch and crawl through the lyrics and meaning of this song is a metaphor of the song itself. THIS WAS AMAZING
My life is complete; Steve Knight has found Tool....I love watching people’s reaction to Tool for the first time. Welcome!
Scabs heal over old wounds. He picks to see the damaged part. He wants to heal that part. His shadow self.
You are the man Steve!!!!! Thank you!!!! 💪🤘
Been returning to this one many times over the year! Thanks friend 🙏💜
Your showing some good consciousness admitting you’re mostly unaware of what he’s writing about, but you can feel the energy he’s talking about as it makes you want to learn more.
Great reaction!
The Tool Army welcomes you brother. The beautiful thing about this band is that no matter what they are singing about, you can interpret the meaning of the song in your own way. There’s no right answer. So in fact, no, you don’t sound stupid. Also, don’t focus too hard on the lyrics. The musicianship is also 10/10
I didn't know how to say this but yes, exactly. Well said.
Well said.
could we change that name? The "tool Army" gives me a lot of cringe, the same band ends up making fun of that name.
For real!!! Greatest drummer to EVER grace a drum set.
@@felipemaification to be fair, much of the Tool Army makes fun of it, too.
You did solid research. I appreciate you.
Kudos for putting good thought into the lyrics ! Good video
their entire library is a meditation. I'll join the chorus of old tool heads in welcoming you aboard the spiral.
To answer your question regarding whether the Tool Army know what he's talking about, the answer is yes. We're an odd kind hardcore nerd.
Loved that tune since the day it came out. You gave me some new insight into it. Thanks!
Excellent job man, you’re on it. I can tell the deepness intrigues you and the music finishes it
There is no band on Earth like Tool........ Absolutely incredible
Meanwhile here's Tool over here writing songs about Jungian theories of consciousness.
Bro! I am so blessed to find ya channel yo’! Good to see someone who actually listens to bars.
You're spot on with your breakdown!
This made my day! I was nervous by the thumbnail that you didn't like it. Tool is a Master Class in psychology and humanities wrapped in a shroud of dope music.
Tool is my favorite band of all time 🖤
And you definitely don’t sound like an idiot!
Stevie Knight, the passion and attention you gave to one of my favorite songs of all time was epic. Props man
you got the best understanding of this band on youtube. i love the vids im subbing!
Aenima has to be next!!! There is so much music and different genres that all have their place! Please keep going! If you do you will see what I mean! Never limit yourself to one style or you will miss out on so much!
Keep in mind there's hundreds or thousands of requests, and only so much as 24 hours in a day .. :)
Yup
You sir, got it. I wrote a paper in a psych class on this song in college. To understand who you truly are, you must uncover and expose your baser and subconscious self. For those will influence and partially make up your "seven layers of identity."
You're not dumb, you're learning. It's a tough concept for some to grasp. I spent years in school trying to understand it all... Never got it all, but enough to realize what makes others act the way they do.
I've seen Tool live three times, listen to them regularly, but never dove into the lyrics of this song. Thank you for giving me a whole new appreciation and understanding.
This reaction brought me to your page! Tool is my favorite band! Good vid!!
As someone who’s been on a spiritual journey of trying to be the best version of myself on the highest of levels, I think you did a flawless job understanding and really dissecting the complex topic he talks about through his lyrics. I’m fairly new to the channel but you’ve really earned a lot of my respect with this reaction. Much love brother ✊🏽
First Metallica then Tool?
Damn dude, I already liked your channel and your selections, but now I'm committed lol
I truly think you'd like metal as a genre once you break the ice, it's very lyrical (the good one obviously), and I can tell the ice is starting to crack!
Want some cool Bad-ass sound and Bad-ass lyrics hit Pantera my guy, maybe start with Walk or even Cemetery Gates!
Or 5 minutes alone
Dude you takin the time to break this down and really understand it, one of the best reactions I’ve seen you do, great job man
By far, my favorite reaction video I've ever seen anywhere. Thank you bro
Brooooo, Stevie, you have to roll down the TOOL rabbit hole, it will inadvertently increase your consciousness..also, the band doesnt do drugs and they dont explain the music, all lyric videos are fan made, they are super deep and amazing, the entire discography, please please please start doing tool, like tool tuesday or whatever, you will thank us for suggesting it bc its that good, get it done son, lets go on this journey homie, giddiup
If your impressed with the Stans just wait for us....TOOL ARMY!
Make sure to check out APC too🎶🤘
Aaand puscifer
On that note, Deftones wouldn't be remiss. Perhaps... "Passenger"?
@@Liannin that whole “ white pony” album is wicked
@@bosnow9221 I mean, yeah, but my comment was specifically referring to the song to which MJK lends vocals, because it was relevant to the comment and video.
But yes. White Pony was phenomenal, especially when you look at older albums like Adrenaline or Around the Fur and you see how their sound has consistently graduated. Not changed, but aged like wine. Deftones is definitely one of those bands for me.
Wish he did more tool breakdowns. Love the excitement that he’s discovering with tool
To watch you groove and move capturing the rhythm and beat how your body language shows that you’re capturing into your soul the deepness of it all. It’s fun to relive the first time I heard these beats and these rhythms and these Hardcore heavy metal sounds that captured my heart and soul making me a heavy metal lover to the day I die.
I love how you are not afraid to try and interpret the lyrics meaning for your own self. Make it what you want to make it, especially if it helps contribute to growth in any way. Life is an internal journey. This is what Tool is!
The Tool army is here!!! 🤟🏻
Thank you so much for finally doing this reaction, I’ve been waiting awhile for it. Doing shadow work is a very difficult thing to do but the best feeling is when you have cleared out and released your trauma wounds and also inner child hood trauma that you don’t even know was still affecting you in your subconscious mind. We unfortunately tend to hold on to all those energies that our ego self used at those times in order to protect us. Our body then stores it in our subconscious mind so if we are in a similar situation we know how to handle it, those energies start to project and run our life this is where Fear,doubt, lack of confidence, needing love, acceptance, validation from others in our society in order to feel happiness and joy and our perception of self worth. The fact is that all of those things can only be achieved within ourselves from ourselves. So what we say, think, and feel for others is exactly how we feel about ourselves and any judgments, negative feelings or assumptions we place on another is what we place on ourselves, because we are all one within this universe. As above so below, the light and the dark we can’t operate in life without our shadow but we can transmute that dark shadow energy into the light and loving energy for true happiness and peace within ourselves. ❤️☀️
I love the way you express your curiosity and willingness to learn
Never clicked so fast in my life! Stevie on Tool?! 😁 💜💜💜
As another discovers Tool, another angel screams to life
Glad to be on board with another seeker of knowledge, appreciate you!
Dude I love watching you going down this Rabbit Hole as I once did the first time hearing this one in particular the feeling that fire inside
Dude you really break things down, this is what reaction channels should be like! Good stuff man!
"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." ~Joseph Campbell
To integrate the darker parts of yourself, your shadow, you have to get super honest, and be willing to feel all the feels you're too afraid to experience because they're overwhelming. Too powerful. If you can tap into that power - accept it, respect it, and learn to harness it - you can use it to embody your full potential, and propel your life into the stratosphere.
The purpose of stepping into your shadow is to step into wholeness.
But don't do it foolhardy, there's a reason you fear that cave. Myth tells you even gods don't do it safely. Horus lost an eye doing it for example.
@@TheTurinturumbar this is why it's important to integrate the shadow, not reject it. I can tell the three of us understand the cost of that. As Horus and Odin did as well.
This man did a great job reacting and staying so on point. His mind was really open to everything. Keep up the good work brother!
Love that you dug into this so deep. TOOL gets deep. I find I'm usually better off hearing it and not knowing anything, then digging into the lyrics after the listen...just because there's so much dope shit going on with the music that you just have to close your eyes and take it all in. Great reaction man! Hope to see ya get at TOOL some more.
Doesn’t matter what kind of music you listen to, or hell if you’ve never heard music at all. Tool hits you on a primal level
Awesome reaction man, been listening to Tool since I was 14, Aenima came out in 96 when I was 12, owned every single CD, definitely up there in my top 5 musical artists ever, amazing band, glad you enjoyed it, all their songs are on another level man, layers upon layers.
I agree a hundred percent with them being top five. But I'd say that they are top five of my favorites, but with that said.... BEST band of all time hands down. And they aren't my favorite, but if you put everything they do into consideration. And how effortless they do it, who else is even close. GREATEST ROCK BAND!!
I see Tool and I watch. Great reaction and great job using the lyric vid. can't wait to see more!
Had to come back and rewatch a year later. You got so much of it here, and you were in the right mindset to be able to appreciate. Shadow work is essential. I am doing my own, dealing with an insomnia night as I face the darkness.
I just gotta say that if you're gonna go down the tool rabbit hole, be ready and be strapped in. Because the ride ahead will most likely change your view on music forever
not just music.
SO IT BEGINS!!! WELCOME TO OUR WORLD,,,THE TOOL ARMYS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, thank you so much for reacting to this. I loved watching you break down the experience.
....as a long time fan, I'm glad you liked it brother. I've heard that song thousands of times and it still hits me exactly as it did the first time. They truly are on another level musically/ artistically and I am grateful to those guys for giving me such a powerful outlet in my life. This particular song is a masterpiece in my opinion.
Tool is the best band ever formed
Best drummer.... two of the best guitarist ever and the best lead singer ever..... absolutely amazing band
@Juicey Kisses Adam Jones? Uhhhh 👌
Tool is one of my favorite bands! This was dope
This is hands down my favorite of your reaction videos yet.
This is one of my favorite Tool tracks of all time. I am definitely subbing, I want to be with you as you go farther down this path and into the rabbit hole. Your reaction was dead on, and I'm so glad you actually dug into it, gave it legit thought and consideration. Welcome to the Tool army! Might I suggest Vicarius, or Right In Two, or, Lateralus, or...
MORE TOOL! Let's fucking go. There are no bands like Tool. The whole catalogue, every song, is excellent. Also check out System of a Down. Serj has some bars too (and awesome harmonies).
You just opened up the Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer trinity.
When all knowing of yourself there are many benefits, it’s a constant struggle to hold and is never really a destination but in moments of my own mental clarity and subconscious I honestly was able to predict future events wether through dreams or through feeling. Might sound weird but the world of possibilities become minimal and narrowed down and opened up at the same time.
One of the best Tool reactions I've seen. Thank you.
