In this #ToolsDay edition of #TheDailyDoug, I'm listening to The Pot from their 2006 album 10,000 Days. I was blown over by the intensity and directness of the social commentary in this song as well as the performance. Come along for the ride, y'all!

I just want to wish EVERYONE who follows Doug and his family aswell all the best in 2022! It's why I love his page so much. We've had some tough times lately(that's everyone not just me) and that's why this page matters! You've got a great guy here, who if not everyday, every other day has mountains of information for me! Unleashes my inner Nerd for just a breather in this temperamental world, I clear the air and my mind. DOUG RELIEVES STRESS for us! He says, "Hey ya'll, welcome back!" And it's always good being back, Getting interested, Getting the gears spinning for what WE want to contemplate. It's not about the job/economy/politics/the real world. It's just about really great music and tools we can use to inspire our own writing!🎵🖤🖤🖤🎵
Congratulations on everything Doug, and continued growth in the new year!👏👏👏👏👏
Proud member of the Helvering Army. I subscribe to this comment.
Doug seems like a genuine guy
@@drumsfordaves3143 I agree. He'd be a cool hang! I'd like to show him my pop music guilty pleasure list; get his critique!
@@acidrockpro what is it
Right on! I've been enjoying his explanation of the meanings of the songs, specifically. He just seems like a legit dude that has a good time enjoying his life. Hope he sticks around for a long time.
When he pulled out the bong I nearly coughed up my beef stew LOL
i really did not see this coming lol.. managed to keep my pizza down but damn..
Doug based af
yeah I was doing the same thing and was like "wait, what?"
Yeah, he usually smokes on friday episodes, maybe you are not a fan of long songs that he reviews on fridays
Talk about an unexpected plot twist!… that was some Vebal Kent turning into Keyser Söze shit right there!😱🤯🤣
That hit from the bong was so unexpected, but at the same time perfect! keep vibing high doug!!!
Right??? For some reason I didn't expect Doug to smoke 😂 perfect timing
it took me off guard, but it was perfect, man
haha
man I pressed the like button so fast XD
I hitted the 420 like 🎉 🍁
I was smoking whilst watching this and after following this guy casually for a while seeing him pull out a bong made me cough and almost die. made my day lol
With Danny on the drums and Maynard with the lyrics/vocals, Justin doesn't get enough credit IMO. The bass in this song is just sick.
You'll be pleased to know that he gets a shout-out in the vid.
justin is a badass
There’s a video here on UA-cam of Justin and Danny playing Aenema at Berklee, just the two of them, and it’s freaking incredible. Justin is a machine. I actually gained a new appreciation for his technical skill after watching that.
I loved tool cause the bassline in this track, this is the first song that I've heard and the bass catched me so hard, oh boy... pot...
Maybe in the TOOL community he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but in the bass community we love him
The Pot: The closest Tool ever came to playing funk.
Actually, I was thinking Gospel (but I get your point).
It cannot be denied, those bass riffs are FONKY! Tool have always been remarkable in the Alternative/Prog Metal community for the prominence of bass guitar in their music. But nothing else in their catalog GROOVES anywhere near as much as The Pot.
George Clinton said Tool has the funk awhile back- that big psychedelic swing is actually all over most of the stuff they've done
The bass line in "Hush" is funky af
yes lol.
Didn’t expect that bong hit 🤣
That "different solo" is not a guitar. They do this song live and it sounds excellent. That is Justin on the bass doing that solo.
You can see at 8:46 that Doug's mouth goes to say Bass and it comes out guitar. He was really thinking about it.
I saw them on the tour and was like; "you can do that on a bass?!" LOL. Had just assumed it was guitar. That and Schism. Blew my mind.
Finally a reviewer who's one of the real people!
Keep it deep doug !
Hahahaha , i was a little stunned when you whipped out the pipe , didnt expect that !! 😵💫😂🤣👍🏻. An awesome song btw , thanks again Doug .
I was also happily suprised
The way he gets into his music, I'm not the least bit surprised. This channel has some great vibes.
The wailing solo is Justin on the bass, not sure the effects he uses but it's a great sound.
Distortion, wah, and volume knob.
he uses a whammy too (pitch shifter)
You can see at 8:46 that Doug's mouth goes to say Bass and it comes out guitar. He was really thinking about it.
Could've mixed it louder tbh
Such perfect timing, I'm literally getting ready to leave to go see them tonight!
Ha I’m seeing them Thursday
Here right now, you'll not be disappointed!!! WHAT A SHOW!!!
From this comment, I deducted they were on tour. Looked at tickets immediately. Unfortunately, sold out in Europe all over. SO sad.
@@vibonacci oh no! Keep looking, such a great show.
My first show ever was Tool in 2002 for the Lateralus tour and I made every one since. Have a blast! They are life changing
And then he whips out his bong, Doug you could not be any cooler :)
I can’t stop laughing :P One of the best video moments I’ve ever seen on youtube when you bring out the bong. I was suprised, used to see you with an occasional drink. Somewhat unexpected 😇
Agreed I was surprised as well. Rock on!!!
Love this channel, love this song, this is only my second video of yours, but I love how you dive in and actually break it down in a great way. Your philosophizing is also great, an educated person listening to great music and able to get something out of it and share with us. I love what you do, keep it up and stay well my friend.
The production on this song is so incredibly good - everything sounds so amazing.What an engineering and mixing job; not to mention the crisp execution.
Always love the philosophical analysis u do... U really get it
Hey Doug fantastic analysis as always. As a student of music (I started late in life having played by ear for years), I'm learning a lot from you. Loving your journey of metal discovery. Thank you.
Also, the CD package had a very cool built-in stereoscope that you could use to view the far-out 3D pictures inside the package's booklet.
Have that cd since it's release. It can be used for 3d youtube videos too :D
Doug just gets better and better. One of my all time favorite Tool songs. Glad you did this one.
Love this channel and content. Glad to see you got some better headphones 🤘🏻
Great review as always man 👊💪
So happy to see Tool back on this channel.
Keep up the great work Doug!
Nice reaction, I love the bong rips!
That was awesome! Props to you!
The song is a rollercoaster with highs and lows ups and downs. They really did a great job with it. Loved the review keep up the good work!
Once again, thank you for your perspective again! 🙏 awesome!
Fantastic reaction! 🤘🖤
Doug you make me smile every video. Thanks dude.
Tool has a way of doing just that, the way you get pulled in. I'm so glad I found your page. Hope you have an awesome day 🤘
Outstanding analysis sir.
Nicely done! I bought this album at midnight when it came out, but I had never noticed the solo leading into a group nature that you pointed out.
What a coincidence I was searching for a reaction video to this song out of nowhere and see your video which was uploaded only a few hours ago. Great stuff
Your best one yet that I have seen. Love It
I really enjoyed this reaction!! Thanks Doug!!!
I learned a lot watching this review♥️😂 Have a fantastic 22 Dougie
I died laughing when the bong came into view. Impeccable timing lol. Cheers brother 🔥😅
What an incredible video this was!
Just started watching your channel, but instant thumbs up at the bowl hit! my man!
Hahahaha! I am sitting here enjoying my new favorite past time, watching Doug breakdown one of the best, complex bands of my lifetime, when ya pull out a flippin bong! My man! I laughed so hard I scared everyone in the room. 😂 You have my respect. I believe you may have just grown your audience by being an authentic person. Keep up the great work and carry on, sir.
Hitting the bong just added to the overview and made me like you even more. Salute!
No shame, Doug. Pleasantly insightful as usual. Thank you for your content.
Also, be aware that there is a 2022 Tool tour currently happening, if you didn't know already.
Love you more Doug. I just about spat my beer all over my screen when you produced the bong and sparked it.
Tool forever!!! They just rock me and always will , THANK YOU for doing some more Tool!
Doug! I just discovered u! I was already sold but when u pulled out the bong, I knew we were meant to be!
That bong rip might have been the coolest moment on this channel. Love the analysis…both from the research you do prior to the song and then the music theory going through the song.
I enjoy your lyric interpretation is just as enjoyable as the music theory! I've heard this song a thousand times, but that was a fun listen
This could be your best reaction vid bro lol. Perfect!
i blasted the like button just because of the bong hit🤘🏼
I was waiting for this video.
Brilliant series of reactions to many different bands and styles. I really enjoy hearing your explanations and opinions and this one tops the lot. I too use herb to help with pain from 68 years of wear and tear……….trouble is I live in the UK.
MY MAN! Like the second you hit that bad boy. Big fan of your stuff haha you are awesome,
I absolutely LOVE your new headphones!!!! Definitely can’t afford it but it’s really awesome
Doug partakes? This is a fascinating development. You're full of surprises Doug. Another great reaction - this channel really has gone from strength to strength in my opinion.
I thought the same. Lol.
He does it on “Hocus Pocus” by Focus reaction
It’s funny this must be one of his older videos because I’ve seen him spark up in several other videos. I’ve just discovered Doug and must have seen some of his newer videos.
It's pretty badass (and baffling - to me) how so many people within the last couple of years are finally getting an introduction to Tool. I bought Undertow on my 13th birthday - which was 12 days after its release - and they have been my favorite band since. This might sound weird, but I actually get enjoyment out of watching people react to Tool for the first time. And as for most of Maynard's lyrics, they're written so the listener gets their own interpretation. Find an interpretation that's relevant to you (when applicable). Try to be a better person today than you were yesterday. Doug, I am now a fan of your channel lol. So keep going. The more you listen, the more you'll appreciate Tool's music.
Great stuff !! ❤💪
Incredible review of an incredible song by one incredibly handsome man. 🤘🏻
I celebrate it here, Doug. Well done.
YES YES and a major third YES!!! I'm actually home today! Clear schedule, got my herbal companion and hope Doug Joins In aswell! Can't wait to watch this one live today!👏👏👏 the reminder is set!🖤🖤🖤
I aim to please...
@@Doug.Helvering you've never failed me once!🖤🖤🖤
Doug,
I absolutely love this video; and your channel. I too recently discovered cannabis as a way to help manage my chronic pain, so when I saw that you also partake I was surprised!
I have watched your channel since your Octavarium reaction and it has really helped an over analyzing progressive metal weirdo like myself get through a very difficult time. Thank you for all that you do!
UA-cam algorithm straight up tryin to bury this, Doug. No way I could've missed this. Glorious and legendary. You have my undying loyalty from now on.
Cant wait! I get to see Tool in February! Gonna be awesome!
Tool is getting ready to play the second leg of the "Fear Inoculum" tour that I saw that got canceled 2 days later from the covid virus thing. I saw them a long time ago for the "Aenima" too. Guys thundered both times. This last one was really perfection. Get tix.
Nice hits, bruh...new sub.
I dig it 😎
4:05 and Doug is now my favorite reaction channle,
Tool always leaves you wanting more. Love this band. nobody comes close to these guys as far as creativity/
This is my first day watching you react to metal man and I gone this far. Damn bro salute 🫡 🔥
Ok you got me when you took a bong rip, I cracked up :)
Multiple metaphors in this song. Stunningly Brilliant...
i did not expect that doug
Your interpretation of the lyrics was SPOT ON.
Just one thing: right when you are talking about them keeping a straight 4/4 around 9:23, there is a polyrhythmic thing going on in the background: the whole band is on 4/4 together, and then the kick drum starts to play a 3/8 pattern on top of it. :)
I really noticed that while editing the episode.
Oh just shut up dude. You're the reason a lot of people hate Tool and it should be a crime. See you down in Arizona Bay!!!
@@lisahillis8973 What? :D
@@lisahillis8973 Lol aahhh...that was a truly wild reaction
@@lisahillis8973 ??? He was just mentioning a fact about the composition of the song and there's nothing wrong with that, Doug does the exact same thing in all of his videos
Hell yes. favorite band
“And they leave me wanting more.” You and me both man!
I've got my tickets for Tool in NJ, end of Feb. See them if you can. What a show.
Any time I have had a shit week I get back to this video - Makes all the difference!
Just saw em play this live last night. Next level
Love this song. It's the one I usually play to people who have never heard Tool before, as I find it's one of their most instantly accessible tracks. Maynard's vocal performance on this is awesome.
4:04 notable jajaj!! Great videos bro. Keep up!
Love Tool Tuesday. Can’t wait for some Fates Warning 😉
Loving the bong hit, perfectly timed lol
An Epic reaction! To an incredibly AWESOME Tool classic! 💯👏👏👏
glad i had my bong around when you took that rip because that shit was sneaky
Hit that bong my friend. My favorite way to jam to Tool! Spiral out!🌀
I still can’t believe you caught the Fibbionacci thing on the first listen of Lateralus. This is why I subbed. Totally impressive music theory knowledge.
Its an amazing reaction!!!! Mr. Doug!!!from México, i understand the legal and legacy of the theme about u talk, but...The song!!! a really masterpieece!!! yes with double "E" ...Greetings from México!!!! Thanks for all.
instant rewind to join the sesh, instant like and sub and all the rest 🙌
My boy hit the bong instant sub
Well well Doug!!! i didnt think youd be into rockin da gange , same bong as me too , looks well used 😎
This great tune goes into what could be called a classic prog progression towards the end.
Aight. I've been watching ur metal monday videos for 2 days now. When I saw u take a bong hit for Tool, I subscribed and hit the 🔔. Ur takes on Metallica are great, I'm officially a huge fan of yours.
The whole band is great at their instruments. Collectively great.🤘🏼🍻
Knowing the song, I cued up a dab and hit it at the same time as you. 🤣🤣 Awesome reaction!
Yooo he pulled the bong out I had mine in my hands, and one with ya bro! Straight outta nowhere, starting to love this channel!
So glad I found your channel, looking for Rush's La Villa Strangiato videos. Don't usually watch reaction vids, but after seeing you have done some of my favorite bands (Tool, Pink Floyd, Rush), I've been watching those for the past day. I know you get tons of requests, and I don't expect you to do this soon , if at all -- but I would LOVE to hear you breakdown "Flood" off of Tool's Undertow album, although your ear may be better off hearing "Triad" off of Lateralus for me and everyone else -- It seems to be many variations on the use of triads. I would be amazed to learn that it hadn't been recommended to you numerous times already, with your skills and abilities.Hope Tool Tuesdays remain a thing. Will check out Stravinksi's "Rite of Spring" like you advised in another video. Perhaps you will help me "Broaden my horizons" -- as many friends of mine note when they see my 50 Pink floyd discs and complete collections of Tool, Led Zeppelin, Rush et al. THANK YOU. Btw, this is comment # 420!
No way!! My band just started playing this song! That riff at the last 20 seconds of the song is so heavy. It is always a good day when we are listening to Tool, but this song in particular. 👌
G'day Doug. A few days ago I caught a glimpse of one of your vids (Master of Puppets - Metallica) and now I'm hooked. I'm a fanatic of all types of music and even dabbed in playing a few instruments in my time, and my favourite genre is Rock and Metal. Thank you for dissecting and explaining the music for all to understand, it's something I try to do whenever I listen to music.
Where is the subscribe button, I'm here to stay.
Now onto this video. I've Been a fan of Tool for years and 'The Pot' is one of my favourites. (many times, while dabbing myself!) Have you ever looked at 'Stinkfist', which was released back in Oct 1996?
Thanks again for your videos, seeya again soon. Cheers from Australia.
All right. Here we go. I wonder what he'll think about this one? It's my favorite Tool song. I listen to it when I'm angry at my boss from work.
It's a good angry song.
Great reaction. Peace
That hit from the bong thooooooo 😂😂😂 I could hardly believe it even after seeing the smoke
