Tool Reaction Video
I would like to highlight a couple of things you're doing here.
- You're a very experienced professional that is sharing a lot of knowledge through an open channel
- The only money you're asking is to help children at hospitals
- You are always in a good mood and listen to the comments (which is good for everyone, imho)
- You understand a lot on a music style that is extremely hard to perform and compose
The world needs more people with this spirit. Just share knowledge you have for a honorable cause. Donate yourself or part of your life to those who have so little or that just need a bump to feel better for the next day.
Keep it up man, you're a good guy
Well said my dude. There is a lot to be taken away from his content, aside from the music.
Ditto!
Amen!!
word...
You should do a patreon to fund childrens music schools. I would donate. Music makes us better humans! And since this stupid corona cuts all the funding to just about everything. This should really be done!
Still waiting for the 45 minute video that will be birthed from Wings For Marie/10,000 Days. Who's with me?lol
Give me my, give me my wings!!!
+1 pls!!!
Yeah gotta be done together man.
Yes! Both songs together for sure, I'd stick around for that long video
Make it happen!
The most Toolest Tool song.
Edit:
I also count in Rosetta Stoned and Disgustipated
The Tooliest
@@richtigersoan And Rosetta Stoned
@@lopolik yep of course
category: alien songs (3rd eye,rosetta,inoculum,wings,eulogy,h,46,pushit,lateralus,schism,grudge,disposition,reflection,intention) and what i forget now
The guy talking is Bill Hicks, one of the best comedians to ever live.
Another dead hero
the Marky Mark TV special would have been epic.
Before he died he was in talks with Maynard to do a tour with Tool, opening their shows with his stand up.
RIP❤️
Also im pretty sure they dedicated Ænima to him
I would love to see your reaction to Parabol/Parabola.
Seconded
Thirded
Fourthdid. Lol
hits gavel on desk....”and with a collective agreement it is decided that it has to happen”.
One of my favorite tool songs. Absolutely should be done
This song "breathes" the way a mushroom trip does, comes on in waves and it "peaks" into psychedelic chaotic craziness. Love it!
I was waiting for this comment... listening to this while coming up is an experience worth having...
Thats exactly what I came to say. The swells always match my experience on the come up.
nah mushrooms don't come on in waves from my experience they usually get stronger and stronger until the peak.
@@billybobthekidiswack i always felt like it got stronger and stronger until im at the highest point and barely hanging on to reality. then it kind of "releases" me and gives me back control for a bit until it comes rushing back for another peak, but not as high as the first and releases me again. this happens several times... rinse, repeat until relatively sober 4-5 hours later. so you guys are all correct
Listening to tool on psychedelics brings the experience to a whole new level.
Bill Hicks, the gentleman at the intro, was a comedian in the late 80's early 90's. Controversial and deemed one of the best ever. Maynard and he were good friends (the whole band really), so this is a tribute to him after he passed from lung cancer early in his life (30's?). Very influential person as far as mind opening and truth speaking. Third eye opening and psychoactive drugs were kinda his forte. Along with political slamming and just generally getting people to wake up.
It was actually worse, he had pancreatic cancer, died at 32.
in fact the whole album "Aenema" was dedicated to Bill Hicks...
The track Aenema is based on one of Bill's jokes: he hope California sinks into the ocean because his home in Arizona would become beachfront property (ie, Arizona Bay).
@@nrudy ARRRGGH that is worse. Thanks for the correct info! :)
As a side note and my recommendation: Tool's Reflection is just....dope.
As someone who watches most Tool reaction videos, I gotta say you've become my favorite now. You have more knowledge to share than others. More experience. I appreciate sharing that with us. And thank you to all the Tool Army who we all see in the comments of all reaction videos from all channels. We sure know how to spam reactors with Tool. And it never disappoints! They always love it. 😁
Doug Helvering has really good reactions and music analysis too
Bill Hicks. A comedian Maynard really loved and connected with. He truly looked up to him and wanted him to open up for Tool on tour. It never fully happened the way Maynard wanted to. Bill wasn't sure about the idea. When he passed, Maynard made sure Ænima, the album, was in his honor. It's in the booklet.
But he did open a few shows for them, right? Maybe Lollapalooza?
@@alpur214 I am pretty certain he did. He even had a bit where he pretended to lose a contact lens and had the fans looking for it in the front...
Check out "The Grudge" for a majestic mountain of sound and a divine message from these brilliant musicians!
*The entire Lateralus album is simply a masterpiece..!* 😍
@@DMTInfinity every album is imo,
I'm nearing my 28th birthday and I approve this message, that song's guiding me through a spiritual journey I never thought I could even think of having just 2 years ago
It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom.
Keep this in mind at all times.
Today young men on acid realise that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.
Yep
Remember it's just a ride....
Here’s Tom with the weather
“Heroic dose” lol this guys knows what’s up
for sure, he mentions phrase almost every video LOL :D
I believe Hicks mentioned that phrase on numerous occasions lol.
@@TheMrgrieves0914 I think it's a reference to terence mckennas famous heroic mushroom dose 🍄
He should totally make a second account and make trip reports. I know he's got some good stories.
@@resoundingsource6595 Yes I think 'heroic dose' was probably coined by terence mckenna. He considered a heroic dose to be minimum 5g or a handful of mushrooms.
During the Aenima tour, they opened with Third Eye. Their set list was genius!
Eulogy, pushit, undertow, 4°..Maynard smurf😂dude that 96 - 97 tour was so fucking epic!
I saw them in 96. Only time I ever saw them. Tiny club maybe 500 ppl. They opened with eulogy and Maynard was painted half silver, half blue... Always in my memories
Asbury Park Convention Hall... I was just thinking about it and them opening with this and had to watch this vid again 👍
Couldn't have chosen a better song to kick off the new year. Cheers.
😙💨 . . . *Cheers* . . . 😚💨
One of the things I love the most about watching your reactions, is that I can visibly see you 'catch' the intricacies in their playing, simply by your facial expressions.
Perfect example is right after you said there is no hook or riff to catch on, you caught it, and I could see that you suddenly realized it's has "been there all along" (ok ok... You don't listen to lyrics, so you may not get that quote)😂
One of the greatest songs ever! When this came out in like '95 it blew my young mind, and still does.
Again, this recording was done in 1995, they had a fucking perfect sound on that album, even for today's standards.
So true about the mind blowing part.... same here... wow. ( listening since ‘Sober’ era....)
It still blows my mind that this was over 25 years ago.
Man do I know what you mean, the whole album it me that hard.
Rode around countless hours in my car listening to this album as a 16 year old. Blew my mind too. This whole album helped me vent angsty teen anger and frustration. Tool saved my ass many times.
What a way to start the year!! Third Eye has always struck me as less a "song" and more the attempt to convey an experience sonically. Its design is so ambient and evolving and non traditional. Its really a journey of thought and emotion versus structure. This piece takes a number of listens to really begin conceptualizing the whole form and interconnections, and I've found that my relation to it changes drastically depending on whats going on in my life. Sometimes it drives me away, sometimes it pulls me in. Really amazing work of art.
Very much so, same was attempted by band and achieved with Rosetta Stone, really this band is so incrideble
This resonates so well with how I would describe it. I only ever appreciated this song after a lot of listens, but when I reached that point to "structure" what seemed like a "structureless" mess of sound it became very powerful to me. There is no part in this song that throws me off, it's like the concept of a missing "structure" forced my brain to create one on its own - in that sense this song is literally a tool. This is pretty uncommon in music I believe, or at least in most music I am accustomed to and it really makes me appreciate this as an art piece so much. When the "guitar solo" in the beginning comes, this concept can be seen very well, it has somewhat structure and then turns into a weird kind of noise making, sometimes it feels like it's that which I can't understand when reflecting on my myself, the deeper you look, the less clear it all becomes, yet it somewhat makes sense, this "chaos", even if it is incomprehensible.
It definitely guided me to a new reality last night. Went Rosetta, Third Eye, 7empest back to back and definitely found something up there.
@@eatower2 nice
What does everybody have with Tempest? Imo it's the weakest song on Fear Inocolum. And i love the new album.
Maybe you just haven't had the right experience or connection with it yet. Imo, It is a masterpiece that will take much time to interpret but will one day be heralded.
You need to listen to:
A Perfect Circle - Magdalena (this song doesn’t get the love it should)
Puscifer - Momma Sed
Then jump down the Deftones band spiral with Passenger as the starting point.
👍
Momma Sed both studio and live versions are phenomenal
3 Libras.
Yes. Experience Maynard’s different singing styles in other bands
Passenger is not a good Deftones starting point.
Great song, and I love it, but not terribly representative of Deftones at all. If anything, you experience Deftones as most of us did. With My Own Summer to open.
Your vids have a style more similar to Rick Beato’s series “What makes this song great” rather than the fad reaction videos. Good stuff!
Damn right. As you're looking for your new direction. Would love more in depth analysis like Rick does.
I totally agree with you dude.
Rick is literally the reason I watch reacts videos now.
its because theyre some of the only people doing reactions that actually understand music composition.
Theres some good drum teachers out there doing reactions too, that actually have good input.
I love Rick Beato, but I'm low key grooving on this cat better at the moment. Just found him today.
that intro by Bill Hicks is amazing...and then when the drums kick in...goose bumps!!!
Absolutely!!!
Here's Tom with the Weather!
@@lopolik 😀 yep...that moment!
"You thought that I had run away, chasing the tail of a dogma" - that line gives me chills every time
Best lyric in the song for sure
You gotta do Invincible and Descending from Tool. It's them at their most mature, the peak of their talent musically, and the production from the studio amazing.
Yes yes yes!!!
i really like descending (slow building), i want it to go a bit more mental in the instrumental bits but thats just the proggie guy in me :-)
Those songs are the worst on Fear Inoculum, which is their worst album. Totally disagreed
I'd like to see you do Somewhat Damaged by Nine Inch Nails. Actually, most anything off of The Fragile.
Broken bruised forgotten sore
Great song and suggestion.
My favorite one!!!
Didn't quite, fell apart where the fuck were you! Also, Fragile is the best NIN
I wish this dude was my uncle so we could get high and break down music together. Get simultaneous chills and high five.
Really like the way the "Intermission" track flows into the song "Jimmy"; you may want to play those together for the transition. Happy New Year from Australia, keep up your good works!
Intermission/Jimmy is maybe the most underrated thing in the Tool catalogue. One of my top 5 favorite songs..
Intermission has been my ringtone for Eight years now
That's my favorite tool song for sure.
Calliope into Pants-get-peed transition (darn coffee!!)
@@robriginio530 Every night when I go to sleep I start with Intermission, then Jimmy. I wish there was like a 10 minute intermission.
My brother has a Master's Degree in Music Theory, and his thesis was an analysis of this song.
Btw, I don't know about everyone but I don't mind you stopping as much as you have up until now. It's very informative at times!
The frequencies and effects used by Tool are a big part of why I love them, they use them well to create a great physical effect. Also the bass, filthy levels of deep rich bass with slides better than a waterpark.
Geebz, you're an incredibly proficient UA-camr, you're doing a great job already, and the depth of conversation that you're bringing to the field of music is something that we really don't see much. So often, people who create reaction videos or even analysis videos will focus much more on the surface, and rely on researching things about the music rather than really listening to the tracks and feeling them / getting lost in them while simultaneously breaking them down. That's what you do, and it's really clear to me that it's something special.
As a fan of Tool's music, also, I have to say that it's refreshing to hear someone with an overall neutral take on their music really trying to understand what makes it creative and interesting. It's helped me appreciate their music better (and the music of other bands I've seen you do), and has already taught me a lot about both how I can more deeply listen to music, and about music theory in general. Thank you for being an inspiration, keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment. Got a big smile :) Awwwwright!
Drinking coffee, just uploaded... what a way to bring in the new year! Hope it treats you well sir.
Tool: The Grudge, Disposition/Reflection/Triad
Gojira: Flying Whales
Disposition/Reflection/Triad... The trio! Such a great, instrumental, piece! I think he'd really enjoy it.
Reflection is my fav song of all time :D
Always thought Triad was a weak song for Tool. Just my opinion though
Drop the links!!
I’d like to see Wings parts 1 + 2
Vacuity from Gojira would be badass also, or Clone
I used to listen to this song in my closet in the dark when I was 14 in 1998. One of my favorite songs ever. I love your channel bc you do a lot of deep cut tracks that I would never expect anyone to really get into. You’re awesome man, thanks for the videos.
Dude!! That “popping” from Maynard you spoke of? I don’t know how he does/did it in the studio. But the first time I seen em in 96 right after Ænima came out they opened with this song. I was close enough to see that time anyways Maynard was “Popping” or “Cupping” his mouth with his hand. Kinda think old western Cherokee Indians doin their call or whatever it was they did.
I too have seen Tool a handful of times. The second track from this album, “Eulogy”, when performed live... Maynard would tap his adam’s apple with two fingers whilst singing through a megaphone. That was quite unique. I’ve only ever seen the vocalist from the Deftones do something like that. Chino would shake his Adam’s apple whilst screeching out a scream.
@@stephenhowardfranklin7778 Is that the same thing Chris Cornell does at the end of one of the Audioslave songs (maybe Cochise)? Edit-Show Me How To Live, not Cochise...
@@jzeke1712 Yeah!! Quite possibly. Unfortunately I never got to see AudioSlave live, but now that you bring it up... sounds about right!
There are some very obvious "your mom" jokes within these comments...but I choose the high road today!
He's flicking the switch on the megaphone on and off. He does the same thing on eulogy. You can hear on the album Maynard humming before he clicks on the megaphone.
Now as the comments unfold, you will find that you’ve opened a new door into the legend that is Bill Hicks.
Bill is the goat(boy) 🐐
How can a door be a jar?
This is a heavy listen. Not "metal" heavy, but "mental" heavy 😃
46 year old regular dude that just so happens to be a Tool fanatic since ‘92. Last decade or so it’s almost a closet thing, lol. Kids, career, no longer athlete I used to be, etc. My close friends know the effect Tool has on me. 2008 concert in Richmond, VA and I’m into it, doing my thing... look up and the 6 other guys I came with had given me 4 seats worth of room and were applauding and giving me my Tool. That said now I enjoy my evening with a drink and l always find myself searching Tool. You my friend have hit EVERY thing that I’ve been looking for in a Tool reaction I’ve been looking for. I have my own ideas and thoughts etc. and your perspective shines SO much light. My parents put a baseball bat In my hand when I was a baby and not a guitar. Last 10 years wish was other way. Obviously You get it and you help lead me to “getting it” fully. Appreciate you and doing this. Keep em coming my man.
Thank you so much for that comment - moving. Happy that you like the videos :)
Mental note: I'm overdue for an experience...
Entered the New Year with one. Stood in the middle of my yard being pulled in every direction as my entire development started popping off fireworks, never had a moment quite like it before.
@@eatower2 sounds magical
What kind?
Flippin some candy, topped with a little whip cream and herb.
Let’s go together bro.
I don’t think you should listen to the songs in advance - prefer the genuine reaction even if it’s less detailed...looking forward to Wings for Marie 1&2...
He's got a point about reaction videos being a "fad" though. UA-cam is saturated with reaction channels, which suggests it's peaking. Eventually, people just get tired of the same thing, and move on to something new. Successful reactors seem to have a limit on the level of followers that they ultimately get, no matter how fast they rocket up from 100 followers to 26K - 38K or so.
Genuine reactions are nice. But he’s a regular dude outside of this channel, I’m willing to bet he listened to a fair amount of Tool after he was introduced to them.
And JAMBI!
@@Bramble451 He doesn't have a point at all. Channels having limited growth is because of competition as is the case with everything.
Yasssssss
1:59 the light shimmers on your third eye...
ohhh wow..
thank for this and lateralus' analysing
i'm seeing tool in a different light now
so hypnotic
Welcome to the spiral my friend 🌀👁🤘
Listen to Flying whales by gojira, or the art of dying by gojira
I definitely backup this suggestion. Here are the links
Flying Whales : ua-cam.com/video/H0WyhJseftI/v-deo.html
The Art of Dying : ua-cam.com/video/iJqVjglvnoc/v-deo.html
yes!!
Gojira!
Tool got me into Gojira and I’m so hooked. Also introduced me Meshuggah.
Heaviest matter of the universe! Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Imagine what an awesome thing it must be to discover Tool once the library is published. Being OGT is like watching a TV show with commercial breaks that last between five and thirteen years. Nowadays you can just binge it all, Netflix style.
I notice you havent done any of their "new" songs yet (other than the drum cam video).....I recommend Descending. Is has a little of everything TOOL is good at. Parabol and Parabola (2 songs but MUST to be played back to back) is in the same vain
I'll back Descending, and add Invincible to the list. IMO their songs from the album Fear Inoculum are very good, and I would guess a (de)composer could have a lot of fun with these long, very intricate songs.
Yes!!!!I keep asking for that one. The mental imagery that music gives is phenomenal! He will dig it!
@@olepalm2199 YES YES YES!!!!
Thank you! I rarely see people recommending Descending. Truly an experience, and probably their most varied track on the album. Chills every time
@@nikkothegoblin honestly my 2 favorite songs on the album are the ones people often forget about.....Descending and Culling Voices
I would give anything to go back to my 19 year old self so I could hear this song again for the first time. Of all the Tool reactors on youtube you definitely provide the most thoughtful analyses.
This song (and record) terrified me when I was 12, and I loved it so much. There's such an ominous and suffocating vibe throughout the entire record because of how they played with mono and stereo. Great review!
“Chasing the tail of dogma.” Such a good line
OH SHIT we're opening our 3rd eyes for 2021 :D
I thought we did for 2020. 2020 vision, no?
Wow what an epic song choice. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FROM OPIATE
Tripped balls to this album when I was young. I'll never forget.
Dude, I'm starting to check everyday now for a new TOOL react video from you. Been listening to tool my entire life and these are a great way to see them from a different light. Thank you for taking the time to do these. I will continue this journey with you. Can't wait until you get into some more of my favorites. Happy New Year!
You are awesome man. I'm pretty particular when it comes to reaction videos but you are super insightful and its clear you have a deep respect for the artists you react to even if they aren't necessarily in your particular wheelhouse. Keep it up and I'll keep watching brother.
Happy New Year. Really anything from Aenima is likely to blow you away, they really peaked on that album and 3rd eye is no exception. Would love to see you branch out into some of the newer prog that's going places few bands/reviewers are exploring. My suggestion, Frost's "Dividing Line" is a modern day masterpiece that I've not seen any reactor's touch on yet and that's a shame.
In my experience, the people who think Tool peaked on Aenima are people who at least appreciated the alternative scene from the early to mid 90s. For someone like me, who was deep into progressive metal, Tool really came into their own on Lateralus (best album ever) and continued to pioneer the proggy metally genre from that point forward. I literally enjoy every album after Aenima more than Aenima. By a lot.
Love it love it l love it!!!!!! Check out some Deftones! Digital Bath would be a good track to start on!
Amazing track.
agreed!
Excellent track, but with disturbing origins lol
They have a live version of this song off of their box set called Salival. You should check that out. Also the grudge off of lateralus. Amazing song
Good ol Tim Leary speech🤘👁🌀
Think for yourself.....
The Salival version of "Pushit" is fire! My favorite.
@@darci4883 that's my favorite song of all time
@@schism47 Same.
Question authority
The repetition will put you into a “meditative wobble”. Very common driving pattern of Tool songs, purposeful. Ever get into that involuntary wobble as the energy oscillates through you when meditating? Tool puts me right there.
"INVINCIBLE' from Tool's latest album is an amazing piece you might try soon.
The live version of this is just something else.
This is the reaction we all wanted to see
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do “right in two” I’m sure many have said to you about this song. Add me to that list. And pretty much every TOOL song. Thanks my man!!! Love love your take on TOOL
Happy New Year Ol' De-Composer !!! And to everyone else as well
20ToolArmy21
The "Salival live" version of this song is, IMO even better than the album track, a near perfect live performance. IDK if you have done it yet, but a great Tool song for you to react to would be their cover of No Quarter by Zepplin, another one from Salival, Tool push that song to the limits in such a perfect way, I get chills still every time I hear it.
Thank you for pointing this out... so true. I was thinking the same... it emphasises the essential Parts and meter changes of the song.
...got to see them open with it with Danny playing the Ogletree Paiste brass kit...bucket list...
Loving your videos! Did discover today this series, probably going to watch it all!!!
You are amazing!
Happy New Year to you. Thank You for your thoughts and expertise on our favourite band. The #ToolArmy really appreciate it
I'd like a reaction of Siamese Dream, often regarded amongst the best produced records, not the hit songs but the more progressive ones like Geek USA, Hummer or Soma.
Such a great album - one of my favorites
No doubt
Mayonnaise
First album I ever bought, on cassette, so much love. Would love to see this too
Great Album and one of the first I have heard that incorporated violin into rock.
It's so easy to start listening to TOOL and get stuck listening to all their albums for days...I love TOOL and I really enjoy your review videos...keep rockin' on Old Composer!!🤘
For days? You mean for life surely?
@@SimonE-fr2pl you're surely correct..a lifetime indeed
Bill Hicks .... will form part of my children's education (when they're old enough ;) )
as will Tool ... but that's already begun
As much as I love the albums after aenima, they changed music with this album. No one has ever duplicated the music on this album. The Downward spiral by NIN is the same way. They are one of a kind.
You should watch a upload of Danny talking about all the effects he adds to his drum kit control panel broken glass just tons of compressed sound effects.
Might as well just do Tools whole discography... You won’t regret it and we won’t complain 😁😁😁
Seeing them live is a visceral experience.
Do “the grudge”
Any plans on de-composing Maynard's other bands, Puscifer or A Perfect Circle?
He has. Check out his other vids on the channel.
@@johnb8308 check out the time stamp. I posted this before he started his exploration.
Man what a tune to start 2021 on lol! Going in blind too...bold.
I’m excited to see the new “second listen” breakdown , sounds like a good idea !
Highly recommend checking out Tool’s remix of “No Quarter” by Led Zeppelin.
Super fun remix and they did a phenomenal job!!
*cover but yes
Gonna recommend Intermission/Jimmy or Eulogy from the same album
Eulogy for sure needs to be covered.
This one gets better over time. I used to skip it...silly boy
I’m really glad someone said this. Do you feel that’s true with all songs? Every time I listen to a TOOL song it gets better and I get a fuller experience out of it. Especially with Fear Inoculum
@@michptrs ya fear inoculum is the only thing I listen to at the moment. I’m in awe every time. So fn good.
@@Spurlano420 I know!!
This song is brutally angelic. It's an open wound of a song. Transcendent in a paradoxical way, it's like a reverse baptism
I look forward to your break downs of future TOOL songs. Nice to see someone take a new approach to TOOL!!
Thanks for yet another fresh look at an old favorite! I love watching the way people react to Tool. Their music affects us all differently.
Both Third Eye and Rosetta Stoned and about psychedelic trips. But much different types of trips as far as I can tell...
Take out Maynard's lyrics and you can still feel that sort of energy. Which is what I love about this band. All four guys come together to contribute equally to make art that is better than anything they would make as individuals.
If you read or watch any interviews they do about the creative process, they often talk about sacrificing their own egos to make something that is better as a whole.
Maybe do an initial reaction like normal, then edit onto the end your thoughts after sitting on it for a bit.
That would be a bit more work but I really like that idea
You should also check out Permian: the great dying by The Ocean
This is the one I've been waiting for
Oh man the deComposer needs to hear A Perfect Circle
How about some Radiohead! No clue how to put a link like you just asked me too..... How to Disappear Completely. Would be a great start.
Wolf at the door, punch up at a wedding, lucky. Paranoid android. Too many to name really.
No Surprises, Street Spirit, Exit Music for a film, yes, plenty worth dissecting!
Any Radiohead would be amazing but if you do how to disappear do the live version and pay attention to the “fog” and thoms struggle to overcome it... I want it played at my funeral, is that strange?
I feel like Tool is a bag of fireworks going off .... amazing and awesome. Radiodead is more like a big pot of chicken noodle soup on your stove simmering just below boil yet at any moment each of the ingredients could suddenly boil over. And sometimes they do...... also awesome
@@radiodead745 I like your descriptions!
Love Tool. Great way to start the New Year!.
I'd also like to recommend a particular song by the band Katatonia. There are three songs that I consider in my top ten songs by them that all have something in common. And that common thread is....that they are are bonus tracks that don't appear albums. The one I'd like to recommend now is called "Second". I just wanted to point out what a great band this is by showing how good they are with a song that didn't even make the album cut. ua-cam.com/video/IAwrDH11U2M/v-deo.html
If you want some Prog Rock to check out, I recommend Coheed & Cambria. The Dark Sentencer is a newer song from the first LP in their pentalogy concept album. ua-cam.com/video/T3zm1_JSPOQ/v-deo.html I highly suggest looking up a bit of the story before listening since it's got a good bit of storytelling in the track.
Can't wait to see what other bands/songs you check out. Really love your input on the songs you do react to.
Would not go with the Dark Sentencer as the introduction to Coheed. It's a good song but there are many other one's that I would suggest before that one.
Yes PLEASE!
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 I would agree for the most part, but being introduced to the band as a new listener, The Dark Sentencer will be the most recent song in their repertoire that competes and outshines their older catalogue. The biggest reason I am suggesting The Dark Sentencer that it's the start of a new story from Coheed. It will leave a lasting impression on wanting to know the future of the story. It will also inspire intrigue on past songs, albums, and story.
Might be difficult for a seasoned Coheed fan, but let's be unbiased for a little bit. Welcome Home at this point is overdone gets polar opposite reactions from fans, though it will always be a staple. The Final Cut doesn't showcase the band's full ability. No song on SSTB sounds like they do today. NWFT is very hit or miss for newer listeners. YotBR is mixed/mastered wildly differently. The Afterman albums are a personal favorite of mine, but none of the songs compare to The Dark Sentencer. CBTS is a departure from the high concept stories but could be fun to delve into at a later time. A few songs that do stand up to The Dark Sentencer are The Crowing and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. To me, these songs have that rock opera feel that Coheed is well known for. I realize Welcome Home is their most popular, but again, I'd like to introduce the listener to the band's newest tracks.
You said there are "many other one's" you would suggest before The Dark Sentencer, but you didn't list any. What are they?
@@Amminidab you do raise valid points and I won't argue against them. The Crowing would be a good one. You brought up Afterman and my suggestions would probably be from that. I agree Welcome Home would not be the one I suggest. So from Afterman 1, Domino The Destitute is a great representation of their sound. From Afterman 2, Sentry the Defiant or Gravitys Union.
While trying to list a good starter song I'm seeing your point for suggesting The Dark Sentencer. The only other one I could maybe suggest that you haven't, is The End Complete. But still that may be somewhat biased from me again. So I think I'm conceding to your Dark Sentencer. Your response was well thought out, and I guess I'm here to agree after all lol.
Dude; I would love to hear you do a react for Metallica - Anesthesia (pulling teeth). With the late, great Cliff Burton being so heavily influenced by all sorts of classical music, I think this would be something that would give you a crossover into classical musics world.
Clifffs own words, “Bach is a god”
I'm really starting to get into tool at the moment, brilliant musicians but this is way to abstract for me. A hard listen.
Love the band though.
"heroic dose"
This is what a forced awakening must feel like
...via drugs, sure.
"Prying open my 3rd eye."
Dmt
Need to do some songs off fear inoculum and lateralus,
Give him time. He’s working his way through the evolution of tool :]
If I could make one request it would be Primus - Over the Electric Grapevine
You should really check out the band Ningen Isu, japanese hard rock/doom/stoner. They have a great sound and a really cool story. Hope you check them out.
You’ve got me interested at least. Thanks, I’ll check them out.
Was going to comment this same suggestion, so +1 from me. Ningen Isu is awesome and despite having a very long career already I feel they're quite unknown.
I am digging what I’ve heard already, awesome riffs. What would you say is he best album to start with?
@@willo7734 I would go for the 25th and 30th anniversary albums. I know "best of"'s are usually not recommended, but they have such a long career that imho that will get you a pretty diverse representation of their discography.
After that just explore at your leisure... I'm kind of partial to their more recent releases, but the old stuff is also good.
Vektor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please
Kinda not right to go to Vektor until you're familiar with Voivod though 😁
@@Kevin_Fiol skip lol
Hes a composer! Come on.
I was at an archspire concert last year when some random dude crashed into me wearing a Vektor t-shirt. Dude nearly fell over so I reach out to steady him and ask yall good dude? As soon as he responded i could tell he was colombian. I'd learnt spanish from an ex gf from colombia. So there we are in the middle of one of tech deaths most brutal sets talking about Vektor in spanish. Up in canada nobody speaks spanish so it was awesome to get the chance to. Vektor is amazing and I wouldn't have that awesome memory if I'd never heard of them.
Vektor is the king of tech thrash!
Archspire was great too!
@@6ic6ic6ic thats so boss dude. Vekor is one of if not my favorite band. I cant wait for new music. Heard its coming. Oh i bet that was a awesome show though.
Maybe cygnus terminal, LCD or tetra structural minds. Tbh anything would be awesome.
Bill Hicks = Alex Jones
What?
@@cyberdemon1702 he looks like alex jones, nothing more
Jordon Walsh ahhh
Bill hicks would never have done some of the cuntish things that Alex Jones does, that in itself proves this conspiracy to be bollocks.
@@Thinchap Bill Hicks would have admitted himself he was a total shitheel in the 80s in the depth of his alcoholism. But the Alex Jones conspiracy is just a fun little thing. I can see Bill lampooning Rush Limbaugh and Sandy Beach by creating a conservative talk show host ala Colbert's first show. But it's just a joke; take it in stride
I'm not even through the commercial we have to watch first and I just wanna say thank you. This is maybe my favorite TOOL song and I think it's their masterpiece.
Your analysis of Tool is so so so spot on. That's why I keep coming back. If I can come back in with my insistence. Between The Buried and Me - Viridian + White Walls is so perfect for this page.
*I absolutely adore your stuffed animal collection..!* 😍
I appreciate what you do. I am 42 and have picked up on many of the technical things you point out but have no formal education or understanding of how musicians manipulate the sound, timing, etc to give the effects that I enjoyed. I never played instruments or studied music but you are teaching me the science so to speck behind the complexities of music I have loved for decades. Thank you for giving me a deeper understanding so I can hold a deeper appreciation for music.
Geebz, my fiancee found ur page a while back and we have loved watching you fall in love with Tool, one of our favorite bands. Thank you for all your awesome videos. I hope to watch you discover Eulogy, it is my personal favorite song of there's.
Stay awesome and please always be your self on here, and stop apologizing for stopping the song to add to the experience it's why we watch you.
