    Don’t worry about the pauses. We Tool fans know what’s coming, and know that you will pretty much always be blown away the more a Tool song goes on. It’s inevitable. Just enjoy it. The good thing is, you back it up enough so you don’t miss transitions and stuff. So don’t worry about the pauses. Keep going on Tool. If I had a suggestion for a tool song, I’d say The Grudge….simply for Danny’s drumming at the end…and one of the longest screams you’ll hear by Maynard.

    TOOL is one of the very few bands that gets me emotional. That could be sadness, happiness, retrospection, introspection, fear, bravery, calmness or anger. They hit a different kind of nerve than any other band that I listen to regularly. Listening to an album from start to finish is more like a journey or experience than strictly just listening to music. Is TOOL for everyone? No. However, if you allow yourself to get lost in the experience it can have a profound effect on you. It's like it was conjured up specifically just for me. Continue this journey if you like what you've heard so far. Subbed and liked for future content. Keep up the great work.

    You wanna hear a scream check out their song The Grudge. One scream. 25 seconds. Parabola/Parabola is one of my favorites. It's all one song even though it's broken into two.

    Trust me, this is just the start of the Tool rabbit hole. You started out strong, Sober and The Pot are amazing, but there are 2 dozen more I could list. All 4 of the band are masters of their craft, and Tool is one of the deepest most complex bands you will ever encounter. My favourite band if you couldn't tell.

    I saw them in concert about 15 years ago and was totally blown away. Their stage presence, artform, talent, musicianship and sound is unlike any other band I've ever experienced. Congrats on your discovery of Tool and remember you owe it to yourself to see them at least once in your life.

    @kchez5586 Год назад +4

    The song is actually about hypocrisy (The pot calling the kettle black), but has nothing to do with drugs outside of the double entendre . The line "You must have been high" is referencing someone thinking they are high and mighty, when in reality, they are no different or better than the person they're judging. A lot of the subject matter was derived from things they had to deal with while going through a lawsuit with their record label.
    The sound you were questioning in the instrumental section is the bass with distortion & a wah wah pedal.

    Don't apologise for pausing, you put out dope content. It doesnt stagnate or anything, it was very enjoyable to watch your first reaction to the pot! I love that you looked up the lyrics beforehand, I think it can be recommended for their songs, and if not, then just having the lyrics pulled up can help. I would recommend their song "Vicarious". It is a banger and the lyrics are brutal!

  • @jrgdrumsandwatches
    @jrgdrumsandwatches Год назад +9

    Welcome to one of the greatest bands ever. Yes Tool is truly mindblowing. It's been over 20 years since I first discovered them and since never left me. Danny Carey, the drummer, was the reason I started to play the drums, what an inspiration. They all are masters at their instruments and singer Maynard J. Keenan is a true poet at writing the lyrics and has an excellent, unique voice. Everything comes together and the result is an amazing musical experience. Also a must see live band. Their concerts are, again, an experience you won't forget. Enjoy!

  • @woodymeadows9363

    Back in the day, the thing that attracted me to this band was 1) the bass ( their first album) 2) the videos of their earlier songs.

    Pulling pieces together slowly across a song is really Tool's trademark. Everyone's off doing their own brilliant things, then at some point they all come together to form something completely in synch with each other and beautiful, then break apart again - repeat.

    Tool is thee antithesis of music in modern times. They use techniques from around the world and are ALL the most professional in their areas. The way the construct their songs is beyond amazing. Like you noticed, they build their songs up over the entire song. EVERYTHING has a purpose and a place and a reason for why they did what they did at that moment in the song and every song they do. Not EVERY song they’ve made is amazing to ME but trust me when I say, GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, you won’t be disappointed.

    I remember about 15 years ago (mid 2000s) a coworker challenged me. He said I couldn't identify 20 songs that were 5 minutes or longer that were any good. I burned him a full 70 minute CD of just tool songs that were 5 minutes or longer. After one play through he became a diehard Tool fan (more so than I am) and that disk became a mainstay of the warehouse music list.
    Later I came to realize that man tricked me into dedicating my time to get him good music to listen to at work. I wasn't even mad at that point.

    Please don’t apologize for pausing. I’d offer the vast majority of those watching know the song well. We’re here to watch another person experience this amazing tune for the 1st time.

You are about to embark on one of the greatest journeys of your life. In all honesty I envy you and the life changing experience you are about to go on. Hearing Tool for the first time and really feeling the music for what it is, is a once in a lifetime experience. Have fun I'll see you at the end of the "spiral".
