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.
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 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. 🤘
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 🤝
I know this is 3 years too late but I’m hoping you see this…. I’m so sorry!! I wish I could take you and your daughter’s pain away. It’s hard and I wish people didn’t have to go through that sort of pain. I’ve lost many and I hate knowing that I’m not alone in that pain.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
Whoooa..... We doing this shit, bro?!?! TOOL is the Greatest thinking band of all-time! Let's take this ride, bro!
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!
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!
Thats why I subscribed. Lol. I'm a bit late to the stevie party but I'm enjoying watching his vids and his breakdown of the songs. Great reactor 😊
Tool literally saved my life! I was suicidal an alcoholic and coke addict, Tool taught me, that we can always learn and evolve
Tool Army + Stans = Million subs 😆
Need more Tool!!!
for real tho
She’s right!
Let’s get to a MIL
FACTS!
Facts!
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!
Lateralus is a tool masterpiece, both the song and the album
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My life is complete; Steve Knight has found Tool....I love watching people’s reaction to Tool for the first time. Welcome!
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.
“Buddy’s tapped in.” I lost it, that’s the best damn description I’ve ever heard for Maynard lol. Also I’ve listened to tool for years and love seeing people go through the same experience of, am I going to go about this analytically or just get into it. Good shit my man
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. ❤
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!
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?
Anytime the song, makes you do research 7 seconds in, it's LIT.
Tool is what transient you bro
Homie watching experience this song gave me goosebumps. The way you dove in...
Every song by Tool is a journey into the psyche. Very much appreciate the time you take to break down your take on it. Complete instrumental genius at work they are.
Stevie doing tool and metallica makes me at peace
their entire library is a meditation. I'll join the chorus of old tool heads in welcoming you aboard the spiral.
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.
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.
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.
Scabs heal over old wounds. He picks to see the damaged part. He wants to heal that part. His shadow self.
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
lol Awesome. I remember feeling that way when I first them when I was a kid. I had been looking for something new that hit on every note for me and all we were getting was Nirvana and Pearl Jam, whom I also love, but they were quite it. Then found TOOL and was satiated. They've been my fav since. Always will be. Best band ever....
....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.
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 ✊🏽
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!
There is no band on Earth like Tool........ Absolutely incredible
Wish he did more tool breakdowns. Love the excitement that he’s discovering with tool
One of the keys to moving through is to understand the fragile child we all have within us, that traumatized child who tries to protect itself from being hurt again. This is where we find ourselves triggered emotionally, like a tone rising up and causing us to react to whatever it is that's re-creating those fears from long ago. People layer themselves with protection in order to keep that inner child safe, but in the process, all kinds of negative behaviours can come through, like violence, verbal abuse, running away, etc., etc. Really, we're all just trying to find love and be accepted so we can feel safe and secure. Knowing we have this fragile inner child, being aware when it starts to try to control our "true" selves, is the key to healing and being able to function as an adult. Tool is amazing and they've helped me see my shadow, as well as that little abandoned boy. All music is a form of healing in some way and protection as well. Great reactions! Peace.
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!!
"This shit hit different, bruh". Lmao. Straight up best band ever.
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
The artwork is done by Alex Grey, he's an amazing artist
I watch THIS video every couple months with Stevie's commentary. It's cleansing and humbling and unifying all at once. What a beautiful song.
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
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 you can ever go to a tool concert, do it!!! I went to one about 15 years ago, and I can still remember how it made me feel. The whole stage is dark. The whole arena is dark except for giant screens that play all those trippy images that you see if their videos and album covers. Hearing the music live is incredible!!
You have the best breakdown reaction for this song period.! You were definitely dialed in listening to this.
Bro! I am so blessed to find ya channel yo’! Good to see someone who actually listens to bars.
Meanwhile here's Tool over here writing songs about Jungian theories of consciousness.
Tool is my favorite band of all time 🖤
And you definitely don’t sound like an idiot!
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
I've been a Tool fan for ages and even now, after too many times to count hearing their songs, I still often times get different vibes and interpretations.
Excellent reaction! Excited to see this expanding of your horizons. Love it! ✌️
I love that you were able to interpret and articulate my primordial feelings for this song into words. Great Zen for me this morning. Thanks my friend.
"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.
Dude you really break things down, this is what reaction channels should be like! Good stuff man!
Thanks for actually taking the time to research and understanding the lyrics, that's way more than any other reactors have done, dope reaction
I see Tool and I watch. Great reaction and great job using the lyric vid. can't wait to see more!
Can't hit like enough times on this man. Love your analysis of this song. Really took it all in. And for real, this is one of the most intelligent, insightful, and well thought out analysis of this song I have ever heard. Don't ever be down on yourself. Tool army for life.
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 👌
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).
As another discovers Tool, another angel screams to life
dude, I want you to know that I've been sharing this to every chick that I've dated because you do such a good job of breaking it down. I want these women to know what I'm trying to do inside myself and hopefully they'll address something within themselves as well. I want everyone to reach their highest potential so thank you for what you do.
For someone's first time listening to a Tool track - you Sir truly did a nice job articulating and expressing your thoughts. Now. enjoy the Tool rollercoaster.
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.
Never clicked so fast in my life! Stevie on Tool?! 😁 💜💜💜
Stevie is over here swingin for the fences with Tool! You picked a hell of a band to start with man... props.
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. ❤️☀️
You are 100% correct. I've known this song for yearsss and never really took the time to understand the real meaning behind it just enjoyed the song. You're a very intelligent person and your breakdowns of any type of music is great
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.
Stevie you are on the right track! Glad to see you expanding your music reviews. Man, you have a talent for reading between the lines. You gonna reach that 46+2
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.
Just stumbled across this and dude, I love this analysis of the track. I never listened to it this way. And the way you've broken it down has given me a whole new appreciation for the song. Thanks man. TOOL forever!
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."
SO IT BEGINS!!! WELCOME TO OUR WORLD,,,THE TOOL ARMYS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
Tools music goes beyond deep, lol. It’s hard to wrap your mind around it at first, lmao! I had the chance to see them live back in 2019 and they put on a very visual show. It’s amazing! Not to mention the music itself. Danny, the drummer is incredible. I would definitely recommend once you’re done listening to the lyric side of it, going back and just listening to the music itself.
I'm betting that Stevie would really like a lot of stuff off The Fragile. Both lyrically and musically.
This is one of the main reasons rock is one of my favorite genres. Just all the obscure messages that you have to really take the time to think about. Knowing that some of my favorite bands can speak to the way I'm feeling or put words to it in the way I can't articulate makes me feel seen and appreciated. I love most genres but rock, for the most part, makes me go "yes, that's it! That's what I'm trying to say. And you feel, hear, see, think it too."
I have been listening to tool for over 20 years and I have never see such a great breakdown! 👏
The simplest explanation for this song is evolving. Growing to the next step in our DNA sequence.
You just opened up the Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer trinity.
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.
You've just helped me love my favorite song even moreso and I have/am deeply studied Carl Jung's work on the Shadow Self and Archetypes .!
YO, don't stress bro. You totally got it. Welcome to Tool man, the more U listen to them, the more you'll love it.
you having any amount of interest in the peoples music you are listening to and "getting to the bottom" of things is a beautiful thing. Imo really sets you apart from reaction channels
Tool was the last band I saw before the pandemic. On every song live (including this one) everyone just sat. And watched. No phones or singing. Just watching them do what they do. They are a genre of their own.
Me too I went by myself!! Wife didn't want to go!! Had the best time just watching and listening to their magic! Wasn't crazy about the opening act the something crusher one man band
same here.
@@phillipbaca3845 same went by myself to Nashville show it was unreal
@@DR.DisInfect I was at the Nashville show too! Luckily my wife did go with me for her first ever Tool concert and ended up loving it.
@@AgentZ1011 awesome if you can get your better half into tool you've won 🏆 👍
regarding shadow intergration, its about learning to be in charge of your own negatives as well as positives , the goal being a more positive interaction with reality. The shadow is all our own crap and is projected onto others in negative ways
Steve you did a great job. The best I've heard. I have been a drummer for over 50 years and I can't even get the time signatures down. This band hits way different. They are a sprit sound and lyrically genius band. Everyone feels dum after diving into their music. You are the best reaction I've heard. You keep on rocking bro.
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'm simply impressed that you dug into the material and absorbed what you read. Most people don't care about the meaning behind a song. I love your intellectual curiosity.
