TOOL isn’t a band!!! It is an EXPERIENCE!!! That’s why you can’t put your finger on it. In the early days you couldn’t find lyrics. Maynard (the singer) said don’t let me do your thinking for you. Let the music you hear tell you what emotion or vision you have. Not me.
The timing signatures, lyrical arrangements and depth of those lyrics are second to none. They fcking crush every time and i kinda dont care how long it is between albums.
I mean you're kind of right but even though I really like 10,000 Days and Ænima I have to say that a lot of their songs sound the same. Or at least very similar.
@666LaVey666 At least in my understanding art - and thus music - is about creativity and reinventing in clever ways. An analogy would be an artist that always paints the same picture. Okay may not be the best analogy but I hope you get my point.
I think a lot of that “different” feel Tool has is because of how they compose songs. They use a lot of weird time signatures and more unique song structures. They also let every instrument be heard, and they do a great job of working together as a band. Maynard also comes up with some cool vocal melodies that blend right in with the song, almost like he’s another instrument.
awd man The Fibonacci sequence is only the basis for one of their songs, Lateralus, but you’re right, they do incorporate a lot of mathematical concepts into their songs. For instance, on “Triad” a lot of the rhythms and time signatures revolve around the number three, and there are also only three instruments used as Maynard doesn’t sing.
Bubbles The Monkey Rite on, thanks for the insight. Great mix of ability and knowledge. Possibly the prime number chart or cross is used also. Anyway take care.
If you like that last note Maynard hits you should go see them live. He screams that while bending his whole body backwards to the ground. Lungs of steel!
He hasnt had that kind of energy since pretty much the beginning of the lateralus tour way back in 2001. He still cool stage presence. But he aint got the mojo anymore. He had hip replacement and grown up a lot.
@@bradennichols3154 definitely dont agree...10000 days came out well after 2001 and his stage presence has been powerful throughout, his theatrics may not be on the same level...but that voice and power behind it is still undeniable
@@brackenz555 he stood and held 2 bottles of wine through the whole 10000 days era on tour. Im not saying he is bad. He is not the same juggernaut he once was. Everyone gets old. I dont hold it against him. He still a warrior. Fightin that good fight. But he is not the force that drives that band. He outshined danny carey. And now carey outshines him. Carey has since lateralus. Thats why he gets his own time for drum solos. Thats why they extend their songs now to badass instrumental parts. But still wouldnt replace maynard with anyone. He a legend
Tool is so Uplifting. Weither im sad, angry, confused, I feel better after being immersed in the songs. Complex and simple, Quiet and Loud, Heavy and Soft. Tool is amazing.
The fact that 4 such unique musicians coincidentally found each other, and (sometimes sooner than later) decided to create such pure art, never giving a single shit about what anyone would pay money to hear or have it played on the radio 10 times in a day, chopped into digestible 2-3 minute snacks, is indescribable to me. Each one of them so creative and unique at their craft, Danny Carey with those insane rythms and tribal sounds, Adam Jones with the crazy effects and different string-pulling techniques, as in the Jambi intro, Justin Chancellor also using some awesome effects and pedals, and just over all amazing basslines (Reflection, Schism, H., Jambi...), harmonizing so amazingly with the Guitar of Adam Jones, to the beats of the absolute Monster that Carey is, topped of with a voice that can sing you into a high with some ancient fckn singing, like in Parabol, and screams that wake you up from the Dead (The Grudge, H., Tick & Leeches, Third Eye.....). And then they converted all of that shit into Music, where basically every track is a trip, just taking you along for a ride, building and building until it explodes and jizzes into a musical climax thats just so one of a kind. Nothing comes even close, i'm gonna go pry open my third eye now.
Preston my brother you are in for so many treats ! This music is going to take you to many places and you are going to hear things that will enhance the way you approach music and in some ways life itself . I'm more than happy to go on this trip with you . Thanks for this .
I feel you its been 2 months since first hearing the pot and vicarious and so far every tool song has floored me I have never had such a magical journey as the last 2 months tool for life !
Been a fan since 93 when I first heard sober. I still discover new things (visions, revelations, emotions) every single time I listen to this band. Tool transends music, the one thing I feel about this band that I've never felt from anyone else, no matter the genre, is that I can feel so much intellect, emotion, spirituality in the presentation of every chord of the instruments to every note of Maynard's voice and I think...Is he this heavily vested, or is he trying to get me this heavily vested? Is he a mad evil genius trying to fuck with my emotions or is he an emotional guy with an ingenious approach....he did say it's not his job to tell you how to feel...the music will.
Its called progressive metal, which is all about experimentation, and Tool excels at originality. Also it helps that Maynard is at his best when he's pissed. Check out his other band A Perfect Circle's song Judith, and you'll see what I mean.
Exactly it's progressive metal. Most don't even know that, although nowadays most musicians consider it mainstream progressive cause that are one of the original and they blew up. Probably the most well known progressive metal band.
The OmniscientOG of The Internet I call it closer to prog rock than metal. Tool does have a very metal guitar tone but the music hardly comes off as “metal”.
@@strangekitchenappliances2314 Tool is much heavier than rock though but I understand what you mean. I'm into tech death and the likes, so I know where you are coming from. Lol
Maaahtin Cartahh that’s just Maynard not wanting to associate with things he doesn’t like. Tool has very metal aspects in a lot of their music whether the vocalist wants to admit it or not. They do have a genre and it’s a fusion of a few things. The band itself might not have a set genre but the individual songs do.
leafsfan1728 YES!! BUT from the 4 band's your choices aren't bad. I'd chose THIRD EYE, by TOOL. HAND OF Doom by SABBATH. The others were great BUT along with Kasmir, There is NO QUARTER, WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, and IN THE LIGHT. Hard to pick between ZEPS 4 songs. Oh Nothing wrong with EULOGY. Great Song!! Did put this down as my 3rd choice! Just Love THIRD
Michael Drennan Third Eye is a good tune...I wouldn't have it as one of my top Tool Songs but I still love it.(I know it's a massive favourite amongst Tool fans!) Kashmir is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs and I placed it here as a good entry point for him. I love all the songs you listed but I feel those are a little further down the line.(After he's heard a few of their more popular songs)
lateralus please. it's interesting what i can hear, if the music is played and re-recorded over several "lo-fi" devices. there is always new stuff to discover.
I find it fascinating to watch younger people experience new music and have it move them in the way it did me when I first heard it, especially when its outside there comfort zone. It puts a smile on my face... you have a long joyous road ahead of you my friend. P.s. i loved you reaction to MegaDeath's Holy Wars... you had that look of amazement that all the reaction channels have. Similar to Jinjer "Pisces "
I just discovered you today and I’ve lost track of time binge watching... it’s cathartic to vicariously relive the time I first heard a song. Keep “bringing it back” !!! Please react to Spirit crusher or symbolic by DEATH. The reaction community is hungry for more, I guarantee it! I look forward to spamming suggestions 😁
Whenever I hear Tool I always come away somehow feeling slightly smarter, like I’m in on something that’s intelligent and creative...and I feel smarter for getting it. I feel like a bit of a tool (arf arf)for writing this....but it’s true.
Steven Young I agree, the best classical and Tool songs avoid the standard pop song structure; intro-verse-chorus- verse-chorus- bridge-chorus-end and just move along naturally morphing from one sound to the next until the song is done and so are not predictable keeping you thinking.
You haven't even scratched the surface yet with Tool 😁. Earned a sub today though man, dig how open minded you are with all of these metal bands. Keep em coming, I like watching! 😊
Jason Olea I agree with you I'm very new to these reaction videos I think I'm on day 2 it takes me back to the first time I heard Tool of course my first song I heard by Tool was Sober but I've been a huge fan ever since if I get stranded on a deserted island I would be ok as long as I had my Tool CD'S
Mrs Nevens what makes you think you're older than me lol I will tell you the truth about my age if you will but either way you're right I love that song too some people tend to complain why is it taking so long for the next album well this is the way I see it "You Can't Rush Perfection" hum I just realized that sounds a whole lot like Perfect do you think that's how Maynard came up with A Perfect Circle definitely something to think about wouldn't you agree
Justice4ChrisCornell Im 43... barely tho. 😄 I assume I'm older, bcuz I was listening to tool b4 Undertow even came out. You said Sober was the first song you heard. Imma guess you're 38. 🤔
Mrs Nevens lol I'm 54 when that song came I was having to take care of my dad he was very sick for a couple of years before he passed away so I was just a little behind but from the moment I heard Sober it didn't take me long to get caught up on everything I missed
I don’t normally subscribe to channels but I’ll subscribe to yours as you understand why we love Tool, it’s different and leaves you wondering what is it that makes the music so powerful.
Tool is progressive rock and not the normal rock or metal. They have an unique sound that can't be copied. Tool is an experience that no other band compares to. Seeing them live were some of the most amazing experiences of my life. Enjoy the Tool ride!!
I think the others placed higher on billboard, but Aenima was their first Grammy winner, and the song that introduced them to the masses; their defining release. It was fucking EVERYWHERE that year. They’re all almost perfect songs, though. After years away from Metal, I’m glad I’m rediscovering one of my favorite bands, especially through the eyes of the uninitiated.
Actually (not debating your opinion) but Sober was played on the mainstream radio way before Aenima. As far as the most famous, the song Lateralus is probably #1, since it has been rated as the #1 Rock song (ever) by a few publications. It's like picking #1, #1a, #1b all the way to #1z.
Right!? Thanks for listening to your subs and doing this track. Fyi, you can meet Maynard at his wineries in AZ. Been there, done that. Had a bottle of red while talking to him. My wife and I couldn't stop smiling. Thanks again muh friend!
I get chills. Full on body chills listening to Tool. I can't help it. Their music is so deep and meaningful. There is something I can't describe except to say I love Tool. Fully and completely love Tool.
Bruh the look on your face through that whole video was priceless! Watching you get stuck in that song with no lyrics or video reminds me of me when I first heard them. My favorite reactor hands down! Keep up the good work
You are, by far, the best reactor on RUclips. Love that you are checking out all types of music. I could spend days recommending hiphop from the 90's you should check out, but you should also check out some blues. Check out Chris Stapleton "I was wrong". It's got a blues vibe to it and the vocals are incredible. It will be a nice way to ease into some blues music and a guitar lover will dig it.
Dude, I just watched them live 5/10/19. Get a ticket to one of their shows. I cannot describe how awesome it is. Worth every penny. Go, while they still are playing.
Loved the reaction....I can tell you were really in to it because you looked like you were about to pause a few times, but couldn't do it because the song was just too good to interrupt. lol
the word you need is "depth", this song is beautifully constructed! theirs like 7 different guitar riffs, 7 different bass riffs, drums are prime and vocally he keeps bring you back in with a different variation of tone with every chorus and verses. Luke Brian wishes he could have this much talent!, this is real rock and roll from the heart. i love this song
You know what makes TOOL so great, so unique? Maynard has a voice that is more than vocals. His voice is truly an instrument. So instead of someone singing lyrics of a song he is playing an instrument. That and he is a lyrical genius. Poetry set to really good ( also unique ) music. A lot of meaning and heart. Songs are so much better when the singer truly feels what they are singing when it not just some lyrics or a story but instead an experience shared with the listener.
No. I think he should wait for this one. It isn't for everyone. I'd go with The Grudge, Schism, Parabol/Parabola, Stinkfist, Vicarious, or Jambi next. Can't go wrong with any of those.
Trevor Lott eh, idk. He’s in a 10,000 Days kick. Honestly, if he really wants to kick it up a notch. Listen to studio Pushit and then follow it up with Salival Pushit. Now that would be a fun review to watch
There's music and then there's Tool. You don't realize it but your a fan after the first song you hear. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. And I a music fanatic I love and breath music. There it there on there own there's no duplicating or trying to sound like them. One of a kind band. Great reaction to a great song. Thank you
your music appreciation and life has been changed like so many of us. From now on, when you listen to new music, of any genre, you will measure it against the Tool scale. "did it make me feel like tool made me feel the first time? did it give me goosebumps like Tool did? did it move me? did it made me clap? did it made me feel satisfied while at the same time making me thirsty for more?" Rap, rock, R&B, no matter, you will ask yourself those questions.
Another great video. You should react to a lyric video of stinkfist by Tool. Over 20 year old song and it sounds amazing. Be fun to see if you can catch the message of the song. Cheers brother.
There’s a perfectly good explanation as to why you can’t describe what you’re feeling. You’re listening to actual music, actual art. You can see it within the first 30 seconds of him listening to this song. It’s beautiful to watch it unfold.
I am not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but I love watching ppl discover tool. Weither your into hip hop, r&b or country etc. Tool always officers a very unique style and sound. Not to sound corny by it's like foreplay for your ears..
One of the reasons I enjoy your reactions is because you say things about the music that I myself think when I listen to them and thought I was the only one to think those same certain things. You pretty much take the thoughts right out of my mind. Keep up the great vibes! I recommend the song Lateralus from Tool.
Tool, Linkin Park, Incubus, Audioslave, Shinedown, Crossfade, Seether, Threedays Grace, Rise Against...... so many great bands with such energy and intent with their music.
Watching these videos (Tool reaction in particular) is like being a proud dad watching his son riding a bike without training wheels for the first time! We are the shepherds, not the sheep!
This guy gets it.
fuck yeah
I was just about to comment the exact same thing 🤣
How can you not tho
Id like to see a reaction vid of him telling his friends this is his new fav band $
@@ronklue3462 Agreed lol
You don't listen to Tool, you experience it
Sure, The CandymaN caN, but so can Betelgeuse
The bass line makes this song.
You don't listen to tool you take it as an aemena
listening is an experience fuckwit
Smartass of the day goes to...
That bassline tho
Stars Die Justin chancellor is the man
Every Tool bassline is great ;)
It’s even better live with professional sound equipment as it just rolls over you.
fucken sexc
Stars Die Aknow right!

Charles Langley well said bro
That’s right you experience it in your own way and it can mean whatever you want it too
its a life style
that base line is straight fire.
xtop23 It’s fun as hell to play too!! Gives your hand a good workout. It’s up and down the neck!!
Word
xtop23 the whole song is.
Everything Tool does is.
@@jmob919 yeah it's tough but fun as hell
The timing signatures, lyrical arrangements and depth of those lyrics are second to none. They fcking crush every time and i kinda dont care how long it is between albums.
Yeah anything they have available to me is good enough new contemt is simply bonus fkn awesomeness
Tool is my favorite band EVER! I love watching you listen to them and feeling what they do to us all 😍😎🙏🖤
Elesha Boone Agreed! Watching him experience Tool is the best part. You can always tell when someone feels it in their soul 😂
Die Eier Von Satan Oh no! That's heartbreaking 😢 I adore them ✌️😊💖🎶
I'M A GIRL AND I LOVE TOOL BEEN A FAN SINCE THE 90'S
Die Eire Von Satan..... that's crazy. I've been a fan for over 20 years
Idk how I've only been a fan since 2012 lol. I should of been a fan atleast since the early 2000s. I was way more into the band korn back then
True fact: their drummer was an octopus in a previous life
And this one.
Is*
You really should be listening to tool with headphones
I’m listening to Tool with headphones right now, huge difference.
It’s the Tool Genre, man, they are one of a kind
I mean you're kind of right but even though I really like 10,000 Days and Ænima I have to say that a lot of their songs sound the same. Or at least very similar.
@666LaVey666 That phrase doesnt really work in music or art in general.
@666LaVey666 At least in my understanding art - and thus music - is about creativity and reinventing in clever ways. An analogy would be an artist that always paints the same picture. Okay may not be the best analogy but I hope you get my point.

Bubbles The Monkey Good explanation! 👌👍
Bubbles The Monkey tool makes use of the Fibonacci sequence. I believe that's the reason they resonate so well.
awd man The Fibonacci sequence is only the basis for one of their songs, Lateralus, but you’re right, they do incorporate a lot of mathematical concepts into their songs. For instance, on “Triad” a lot of the rhythms and time signatures revolve around the number three, and there are also only three instruments used as Maynard doesn’t sing.
Bubbles The Monkey Rite on, thanks for the insight. Great mix of ability and knowledge. Possibly the prime number chart or cross is used also. Anyway take care.
And they're probably one of the best bands of all time at building dynamics using layers... pretty amazing

Can't go wrong either way
So we meet again
TOOL is cosmicly inspired.
Love your reaction to tool. Ive felt the same way about them for a couple decades. Best live band ever. Seen em twice
Tool is definitely a unique band. They're just super dope man
I find it fascinating to watch younger people experience new music and have it move them in the way it did me when I first heard it, especially when its outside there comfort zone. It puts a smile on my face... you have a long joyous road ahead of you my friend.

Thats exactly what i thought. Watching someone watch this for the first time makes me feel it all over again
No one clicks fast when they see that you're reacting to Tool. You totally get it. 🤘👽🤘
1st.
They are special, in a class of their own. Try Lateralus next.
Lateralus, the patient, the grudge, forty 6 and 2, pushit, jimmy
When bass players don't just double the guitars or the drums but when they find the spaces or their own lines to follow that amaze the audience.
Whenever I hear Tool I always come away somehow feeling slightly smarter, like I’m in on something that’s intelligent and creative...and I feel smarter for getting it. I feel like a bit of a tool (arf arf)for writing this....but it’s true.
Because they're music is intelligently made and it makes your brain work. Like classical music makes your brain work.

You’re so spot on man. Tool is there own genre basically. If you liked that scream at the end you have to do parabol/parabola next!
Last night i was about to ask u to make a video to show ur reaction about this song, and now u suprised me! Hell yeah
Keep it up 🤘
Aenima is their most famous song.
It’s awesome.
I’d say they have about 4 songs that are their most famous: Aenima, Schism, The Pot, and Sober are all interchangeable.
I think the others placed higher on billboard, but Aenima was their first Grammy winner, and the song that introduced them to the masses; their defining release. It was fucking EVERYWHERE that year.
They’re all almost perfect songs, though.

Don’t you mean Lateralus
One of the most badass songs ever. TOOL is simply on another level.
Tool never fails to give me chill bumps listening to them. You can tell they are a rare talent.
Welcome to the world of Tool!
You're right. Tool isn't a band. It's a musical entity.
Tom WithTheWeather sure is a band and lots more
Right!? Thanks for listening to your subs and doing this track. Fyi, you can meet Maynard at his wineries in AZ. Been there, done that. Had a bottle of red while talking to him. My wife and I couldn't stop smiling. Thanks again muh friend!
I get chills. Full on body chills listening to Tool. I can't help it. Their music is so deep and meaningful. There is something I can't describe except to say I love Tool. Fully and completely love Tool.
Tool - Jambi
A Perfect Circle - The Outsider
Puscifer - Momma Sed
thanks, dude
Sweet choice
My god, I envy you, for you are yet to discover Tool, just keep going ;)
Bruh the look on your face through that whole video was priceless! Watching you get stuck in that song with no lyrics or video reminds me of me when I first heard them. My favorite reactor hands down! Keep up the good work
5:28 that was my exact reaction when I heard that part of the song. To be honest, it’s the best part. I replay that part like 3 times in a row
You are, by far, the best reactor on RUclips. Love that you are checking out all types of music. I could spend days recommending hiphop from the 90's you should check out, but you should also check out some blues. Check out Chris Stapleton "I was wrong". It's got a blues vibe to it and the vocals are incredible. It will be a nice way to ease into some blues music and a guitar lover will dig it.
I want to know who downvoted this and why.
Bill Braskey- still feeding your baby shrimp scampi? “ TO BILL BRASKEY” 😂
The musically incompetented.. lol
Some men just want to watch the world burn 😁
Some people can set their mind free but it’ll just sit on the front porch...
My guess is vegans
Learn to swim
Loving this binge! Hope you get to his other bands as well! Uh, that voice...such control. So nice to see you experience Tool!
Dude, I just watched them live 5/10/19. Get a ticket to one of their shows. I cannot describe how awesome it is. Worth every penny. Go, while they still are playing.
Love your vibes man!
Try Tool - Lateralus
😎
Loved the reaction....I can tell you were really in to it because you looked like you were about to pause a few times, but couldn't do it because the song was just too good to interrupt. lol
the word you need is "depth", this song is beautifully constructed! theirs like 7 different guitar riffs, 7 different bass riffs, drums are prime and vocally he keeps bring you back in with a different variation of tone with every chorus and verses. Luke Brian wishes he could have this much talent!, this is real rock and roll from the heart. i love this song
Tool - Parabola. My favorite Tool song! It just takes you to another dimension. Who's with me?
AIC - Rooster or Man in the Box
Want more epic super saiyan endings? Check out their songs "Eulogy", "H", or "Bottom" to name a few.
Or ticks and leeches or the grudge or even rosetta stoned
I appreciate you brother. Tool has been my go to music for 20+ years.
This reaction made me feel like I heard that ending again for the first time. Great vid
I can't wait til you hear Rosetta Stoned and Lateralus
I think you might like Chevelle as well. Some of their stuff reminds me of Tool.
You know what makes TOOL so great, so unique? Maynard has a voice that is more than vocals. His voice is truly an instrument. So instead of someone singing lyrics of a song he is playing an instrument. That and he is a lyrical genius. Poetry set to really good ( also unique ) music. A lot of meaning and heart. Songs are so much better when the singer truly feels what they are singing when it not just some lyrics or a story but instead an experience shared with the listener.
You’re exactly right man. There is just a unique feeling you get when you listen to Tool. Keep it up!!
You should experience Lateralus by them
its a whole journey
Yes sir! Now, Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned!
No. I think he should wait for this one. It isn't for everyone. I'd go with The Grudge, Schism, Parabol/Parabola, Stinkfist, Vicarious, or Jambi next. Can't go wrong with any of those.
Trevor Lott eh, idk. He’s in a 10,000 Days kick. Honestly, if he really wants to kick it up a notch. Listen to studio Pushit and then follow it up with Salival Pushit. Now that would be a fun review to watch
Trevor Lott I do agree though, that maybe Rosetta is a bit much right now lol
Jason Magistro Yes! Yes! Yes! 👏👏
I suggested Eulogy!
We don’t want to scare him away. Bring him in slowly. Remember fish out of water? Almost lost him there.
There's music and then there's Tool. You don't realize it but your a fan after the first song you hear. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. And I a music fanatic I love and breath music. There it there on there own there's no duplicating or trying to sound like them. One of a kind band. Great reaction to a great song. Thank you
your music appreciation and life has been changed like so many of us. From now on, when you listen to new music, of any genre, you will measure it against the Tool scale.
"did it make me feel like tool made me feel the first time? did it give me goosebumps like Tool did? did it move me? did it made me clap? did it made me feel satisfied while at the same time making me thirsty for more?"
Rap, rock, R&B, no matter, you will ask yourself those questions.
Another great video. You should react to a lyric video of stinkfist by Tool. Over 20 year old song and it sounds amazing. Be fun to see if you can catch the message of the song. Cheers brother.
Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die!
There’s a perfectly good explanation as to why you can’t describe what you’re feeling. You’re listening to actual music, actual art. You can see it within the first 30 seconds of him listening to this song. It’s beautiful to watch it unfold.
This is easily in my top 5 tool songs, I love this song
You have to listen to The Grudge
Tool-Schism ... their best song imo
Been feelin that shit since the 90’s, ain’t never gonna stop.
"They make you feel some type of way". Couldn't have said it better. So damn true about this band.
If you really like tool, then you have to hear the Chicago band Chevelle. The songs send the pain below(suffocating), closure, red, and fight
They were a baby tool first album with less talent but changed it up
I love hats off to the bull sounds so much like a song from a young tool or a young apc
I like chevelle, but they ain't even in the same league.
Parabola, lateralus, Jambi or H next please, thank you
I am not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but I love watching ppl discover tool. Weither your into hip hop, r&b or country etc. Tool always officers a very unique style and sound. Not to sound corny by it's like foreplay for your ears..
One of the reasons I enjoy your reactions is because you say things about the music that I myself think when I listen to them and thought I was the only one to think those same certain things. You pretty much take the thoughts right out of my mind. Keep up the great vibes! I recommend the song Lateralus from Tool.
Tool - ticks and leeches
Great video man!!!! More Tupac and Tool!!!!! Great channel bro. Can you do Holla at me by PAC.
Peter Stappas Tupac and Tool?!?!? I like your style my man
The CandymaN caN They both changed me ,not only musically but emotionally they are life changing.
Welcome to the Universe of Tool!! So happy to see someone new experiencing the magic of Tool.
Caught TOOL in Milwaukee at Summerfest on a 4th of July,BEST show I've ever seen my entire life!
Tool Vicarious please
If you like TOOL you may like CHEVELLE too.
Chad Lutzke yessss!!!!
Agreed. I love Chevelle as well. They have a similar, but more radio friendly for the masses, sound to tool.
TooL is simply my favorite band 100%
OOOOOOOOOH, CHEVELLE!!!!
The Pride and Joy of CHICAGO!!!!!!
Vitamin R and the red were great songs.
Closure. Still running. The Clincher.
Very underrated band.
Tool, Linkin Park, Incubus, Audioslave, Shinedown, Crossfade, Seether, Threedays Grace, Rise Against...... so many great bands with such energy and intent with their music.
I really appreciate your reviews Preston, and look forward to them. Thanks man.
bad 4 good - nineteen
Dude do schism next you'll love it.
Watching these videos (Tool reaction in particular) is like being a proud dad watching his son riding a bike without training wheels for the first time! We are the shepherds, not the sheep!
We definitely “feel what your feeling” for sure when T O O L is played or seen live. 139 shows, 26 years, 7 countries, 36 states. TOOL ADDICT here!
React to Code Red by Token !!!!🔥🔥💯
Imma keep tellin you to react to Eminem- Stimulate until my thumbs bleed dawg😂
I believe it's been a privilege to have seen tool live 3 times in Albuquerque NM
I love the confused look on your face as you try in vain to nod your head along to the beat.
