![GOT EMOTIONAL... TOOL - PARABOL & PARABOLA [REACTION!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IFMNaLMjink/mqdefault.jpg)
Tool is by far my favorite band, I've been listening to them since 1992 and no matter how many times I listen, I never get sick of their songs
Picked up this disc in Kalamazoo called Opiate by this band Tool that my brother brought to me and said it was awesome. I would have found them eventually, but I thank him for the tip. This band has honestly changed my life. Not so much in the early years...especially when no one knew the lyrics.....but everything after undertow has a healing and personal growth aspect that stuck with me.
@@RandyM5 how lucky are these younger guys getting the lyrics 1st listen? That's what changed them for me, from just a great band to my favorite band
@@mudbutt42 That is so true. The world needs more bands that actually try to enlighten instead of dragging ppl down. Still, all these years later...I still listen probably too much
Samesies
But I'm glad to also live at the same time as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard because they're the anti-Tool when it comes to putting out material.
@@ShineOnBenevolentSunnever heard of that band, so I instantly looked the up, 1st song sleep drifter, listened it's awesome I will be diving into this band, thanks dude
At this point in your tool journey it would make sense to cover their entire catalog track by track in order. There is a story to be told and is the intended way to experience this art
Couldn't agree more. It's a disservice to not go in order from the start of their career.
Facts!!!
I agree completely. My favorite album is Undertow, but mostly because of how immensely unique and groundbreaking it was at the time (and Paul D’Amour’s bass). Every album, every song progresses their brilliance.
Hmm. I would agree that Tool songs are best enjoyed within the context of the album.
And I would agree that there is a definite trajectory to their growth and evolution as a band that is readily apparent when listening to the albums in order.
But I would need to see evidence before supporting the idea that the albums are _intended_ to be listened to in release order. Or even that there is an intended album order at all.
@@jonathancapps1103 😂 I have proof… Each album came out at different time periods. Most of us had no choice but to listen to each album in chronological order. Do t you think it makes sense to start from the beginning, Especially since a band like this through so much with every album. It could be a little jarring if you go from the song like Lateralus and then your next song is hush from Opiate their EP. It just sounds like two different bands stylistically
Maynard vocal delivery, when he goes to that hypnotic place, reminds of Jim Morrison and David Gilmore. Not in the sound of the voice, but in their cadence and ability to mesmerize. One of the best vocalists of his generation
The best vocalist and band of my generation 💯
Adam talks with his guitar.
He is continuing the conversation Maynard started.
A psychedelic experience…that’s why so many see Tool as the “new” Floyd.
The sound of the didgeridoo in Parabol adds to the shamanistic vibe
I'm not sure if that is a didgeridoo. I play the didgeridoo and it sounds similar but different.
@@kylekarcher you would know, although I understand there are now many different versions of the instrument ….including one like a trombone with a slide!
If not didgeridoo, what then? Any idea?
@@helenespaulding7562
Could be a voice box or throat singing. So many possibilities with all the effects we can use with instruments.
Tool never disappoints, their music is ethereal. From Parabol's soft quietness to Parabola's crashing sounds, that brings the two songs together.
Hwy man. Don’t kill me was it Ethereal ?
This Tool song saved my life.
No one else makes music like this. You're just getting started. Greatest band ever! More TOOL! Lateralus or Right in Two next.
Yes, Right In Two please.
Superb breakdown. To answer your question "who else make music like this"? Nobody. Nobody else does what Tool does, they're incredible.
Pink Floyd ig but they aren’t heavy.
Adam and David Gilmore are cut from the same cloth when it comes to what they do with their instrument and why. Masters of emotion, ambiance, and texture.
Adam isn't trying to wow you with his virtuosity, he's creating a soundscape. No other band like them.
Adam surely forms the texture, which he carefully builds and erodes in a tectonic movement from which all mountains and earthquakes are born - from his rib.
Adam's guitar tones are haunting
Pink Floyd.skynyrd.stones are all just as tight
Neurosis, Isis, Godflesh, Jesu... there, I just named you a few that create soundscapes. Even better than tool.
@@headbangerdnb Love all of those bands and have done for many years. Love Tool equally. They are all superb!
No one else makes music like this.
I see get goosebumps from these tracks after a 1,000 of listens. So powerful, musically, lyrically, & philosophically! 🤘🏻🌀
Another thing about Tool is they're very specific in their album track order. This track duo comes right after "Schism," where after almost splitting up, the band is struggling to find that harmony they once had. You're on a spectacular journey, here for it all.
The transition between the two songs and the guitar outro of Parabola still give me chills... great reaction, cool to see you appreciate the atmospheric aspects and the lyrics! I've also gotta continue recommending reacting to Blur one day :) If you like the experimental, more atmospheric stuff, the album 13 is brilliant!
i recommend listening to vicarious or right in two since they both have really unique concepts about human life, and the most underrated band member from tool is justin the bassist since he has a lot of amazing heavy picking riffs.
listening to parabol/parabola is such a therapeutic experience 💙
Couldn't agree more!
Been listening to Tool since about 1996. Parabol is my fav Tool song. One of many reasons is the Eddie Van Halen style guitar solo. I also love the lyrics and Maynards vocal style. The chorus is incredible. The rhythmic drum build is fantastic. Different, but reminds me of Pearl Jam's "WMA" which I highly recommend.
You're good at breaking the songs down. You actually react to the songs. Most reactors don't breakdown what they just heard.
"right in two" is one of my favorite songs ever the writing, the tribal sound, the message. An unbelievable experience
Really enjoyed your ride!
Well done Sir!
They’re aren’t enough people that gEt Tool, I’m pleased you’re in
Great reaction
Bruh, I've seen so many Tool reactions, but you're the first one to give the outro the deference that it deserved! Awesome review sir.
I saw them live on the Lateralus mini-tour, in the Paramount theater in Seattle. It *~was~* a trip, completely sober.
We have forgotten why we are here, but we chose to be here, in this body, in this delusion/illusion (distortion). We have come for this experience, but it is not the all or end of us, we are immortal, the pain is an illusion. So embrace/accept this experience (easier said then done) but its what we are here for, for whatever reason. Im not entirely sure what that reason is, i too forgot when entering this body.
Tool is one of a kind! Been around for many years, they are amazing! Still jamming! Love it!
My first listen to these two was unreal. I was with my brother (friend) outside at around 1 AM and i was high as i could imagine. My friend says to me "Yo you remember that band i showed you, TOOL? well listen to these two." And i did. I laid flat on my back on a deck looking up at the stars as these two played. Parabol completely fucked my brain over. Made me feel like i was genuinely traveling through space. There are still metaphors from it that will stay in my head forever. When it seamlessly connected to Parabola i was so damn happy haha. that was about 2-3 years ago. I will never forget that night.
I’m sure people have recommended to you that you listen to the Vic Firth video of Tool’s Pneuma on the “Danny Carey cam.” The whole video is focused on Danny’s playing and what he’s doing throughout the song. Even if you don’t want to post a video reacting to it, watch it for yourself!
OMG YESSS!!! I can't tell you how many times I've watched that vid...just NEVER gets old. Lol
Brilliant reaction, do the whole catalogue please 🙏👏👏
This is why you should react to entire albums.
Interludes, Backward Messages, Hidden Tracks, Segues, Album Artwork. TOOL is a dying breed who STILL create CONCEPT ALBUMS. And yes all of those things are in their LP's. ✌️🤞
These guys paint with sound. I find that's the best way to describe it. A lot of what Adam does, if you were to listen to it on it's own, makes no sense as a song. But it is one of the defining textures of what they do.
Tell me “All this pain is an illusion” isn’t a reference to the Hindu concept of the Maya…
So many references to Hinduism in this song- “Choosing to be here, right now…”
Great song. Great reaction- thanks for sharing it.
Cheers from Michigan! I love watching you experience Tool’s music for the first time. “Lateralus” would be a great next song on your journey also “Right in two“ is another great song.
Michigander her saying hello, neighbor! Did you catch Tool last March in Grand Rapids?
I saw them last March in Detroit. Awesome concert!
Nice job. Adam’s ability to create soundscapes reminds me of the classical masters.
So cool you "get it". 👍
haha loved the final reaction "Who else makes music like this?" I remember having this thought 15 yrs ago when i heard them. Check out Lateralus or Schism next. Bold claim but possibly some of the best songs ever made. IMO :)
Four musical musicians 🔨❤️
Tool is my favorite music to go with "vitamin A" or magic mushrooms. you nailed it
Most reaction videos are lack luster but this was probably the best I’ve seen so far. Can’t go wrong with Tool no matter the song. I’d like to see you watch the video for Aphex Twin Window Lickers if you haven’t seen it before.
Sometimes I hear shades of Yes and Rush in their music, but mostly the genre of Tool is "Tool". Been my favorite band for decades. I feel lucky these gents got together and have kept at it. ONE MORE ALBUM please !!!
You should also be getting shades of King Crimson, Fripp is one of Adam's main inspirations.
@@menotyou8369 I have tried listening to King Crimson a few times - for that reason. It is ok, but just not for me. So, I don't have a good enough feel for their sound to notice. Maybe on some future day it will chime with me ....
This is one of the best interpretations I've ever heard
First person I’ve ever heard say Daniel Carey lol. Keep rockin bro. Very cool 🤘🏻
You can hear progression over the years, but you have to start w/ Opiate and work your way forward, it's beautiful and enlightening, and recently we got Fear Innoculum which was a long awaited magnus opus, I cried the first time, it had been 13 years! lol ciao Syed!
When you ask bands like Tool and Metallica who their favorite bands are they usually say King Crimson, you should check them out, The court of the crimson king and Starless live in Tokyo are 2 top choices imo
The official video adds a lot to the art, and also explains in some way what you already discovered about the song.
Absolute truth my friend I've been listening to tools since the beginning and listening to them daily is absolutely a life-changing experience had to give your channel a sub 👍
Maynard gives me monk like vibes in the intro
Syed…do you see a connection between Adams guitar and that of Gilmore? Not in style, but in the shared goal of creating an electronic soundscape? Yes, aspects of other bands, but also unique. Floyd is only comparison that comes close, IMO
The interplay between guitar, bass, drums and vocals does in fact remind me of many of the works Pink Floyd. Also the theme style of storytelling is quite similar.
Subscribed!!! Great reaction...and to answer your question....No one......No one makes music like TooL.....TooL army forever!
Peace friend!
✌️🤘🇨🇦
Have you heard "The Pot"? Another great Tool song. Peace
15:17 - Normally when I ask 'Who makes music like this?' I'm listening to either Photek, Source Direct, Goldie, ASC, or sometimes Plastikman, but yeah - I could see Tool fitting there as well.
Their music is like the perfect drug. You hear it, crave it and can't live without it
I really look forward to the two live videos out there of Tool, Sober and Pneuma. I think you’ll enjoy them immensely when you get to them. Fantastic reactions in the meantime
You deserve more views. It's that simple.
This is really my favorite Tool album. The perfect Tool album, really. I look forward to your reactions to 'Schism' and 'Lateralus'
You tend to like atmospheric stuff so I would recommend the track Drapery Falls by Opeth. Also you may want to check out some doom metal like Candlemass and My Dying Bride. Those bands don't get a lot of reactions on you tube since they are a little more niche.
Yeees! I would love to see someone go deep with My Dying Bride.
NEver heard of the last two. I’ll have to check them out..I like the atmospheric sounds as well
@@helenespaulding7562 the song ”Fall with me” by My Dying Bride is a favourite of mine. ✨
The singer mostly does clean singing these days but he also does some really special harsh vocals - The song ”The price of beauty” is a very good example of this and is also an amazing song. 🤗
She is the Dark is probably my favorite song by them.
CHECKOUT MAYNARD'S OTHER BANDS "A PERFECT CIRCLE" and "PUSCIFER"....different but equally amazing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Now watch a live recording of it, which will have the official video on a massive screen behind the band
One of the greatest songs ever made imo.
Don't walk away from this. It will change your life!
Oh man I can’t wait for you to react to PNEUMA🔥👽👽👽👽🔥
10:02 - They seem to have started with King Crimson as an influence but blew it into 4D. Animals As Leaders is the closest modern analog to Tool that I can think of.
Great reaction vid. You're quite intelligent, perfect for Tool. Spiral out 🌀 👁✌🏼
To answer the question who else writes music like tool. No one else to my knowledge. It's "philosophy" metal. What makes Tool so unique is that despite it's super deep and complex meanings at times they are such phenomenal musicians that the average Joe can drink a beer while playing beer pong and never have a clue what Maynard is talking about but love it anyways. The Laterals Album is the most meditative sounding album. 10,000 days also good. What is so amazing about tool is how each album changes in sound and changes in perspective of lyrics. It's almost like tools discography is a lyrical diary of Maynard James Keenan. Even though his mom is main staple in many of his songs each album progresses and reflects his growth through life. Undertow: most raw and brutal - full of self loathing and anger, AEnema: wanting to grow and become something different still very aggressive and trashing self-centered society in the song of AEnema. Lateralus: finding piece within and accepting life and it's lesson it teaches you - if you are open to listening. This a very relatable experience as a self-reflective individual.
The way i took the lyrics is like talking about an eternal moment like being present in your body in the moment. The parabola shape is like a breath in and out.
My Man U gotta react to the music video which is of both songs, it is crazy
I think I love Syedbhai
Ya got it a little wrong. Adam, Justin and Danny just write music, and give it to Maynard. Maynard then listens to the music, gets a vibe from it, then writes and records the vocals. Any theme comes pretty much just from Maynard.
In the 90's there was a book called Conversation w/ God by Neale Donald Walsch. Where he proposed that God spoke through him like other profits. Boils down to we all made a decision to have a physical experience and that is what life on earth is, but it was made clear that there is no hell, but we are all one cosmically atoms, molecules, energy and shit lol I read about that much and put the book down, and thought Im my own goddess so, as long as Im a good person I have no need of other deities. Im atheist it's my way of taking full responsibility for every decision I make. Let the TOOl rabbit hole continue human love to you!
this is the greatest song of all time imo
bro is officially a Tool fan now
You are maybe the most intelligent reactor I have found. Thank you
God I hope we don’t come back after we die
Tool is like having Jordan peterson giving you Mushrooms. Its godly
TooLs music is magical. Not sure if you have heard "Right in Two" yet but it's also awesome
15:06 I don't know but if anyone does please let me know ! I don't want to wear out Tool but I can't help but listen to them %90
Tool is great, any song they do is a journey.
Interesting, you used the word 'psychedelic'.
They have a live song called Merkaba - a version of which is on their Salival boxed set - where a prerecorded excerpt loops "...aving some kind of psychedelic experience/aving some kind of psychedelic experience..."
TOOL: "RIGHT IN TWO", "SCHISM", "LATERALUS"...enjoy!🇨🇦🇨🇦
Not only adam. Dana kills it. Justin kills it. Too good
You should do Tool's version of Led Zeppelin's No Quater.
"who else makes music like this?". Yeah, I think he's a proper Tool fan now.
Ok man when you listen to The Grudge are you gonna give it a sneak peek first?
You’ll understand what I mean when you hear it, it’s not the scream, which is legendary it’s the guitar
Nice reaction man
Very good work.
For me the influence of David Bottrill is fundamental for the sound of Tool about the Adam Jones is very similar to Steve Hackett, check the song any sound of Genesis album Selling Ingland by the pound .
My respect for you my friend ..
Getting from Chile South America
“Who else makes music like this!?”
No one
"who else makes music like this?"
We all know the answer, right? No one!
Nice work! Here's your friendly reminder to do a reaction for Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned. :)
Now check out the official videos for these songs.
You should do a reaction video to Sokoninaru's song, Tenohira de odoru.
Karnivool is a band you should check out if your into tool
Tool is the soundtrack to my spiritual realms. Its the music of the Jordan Peterson spirituality
Watch the music video, the end is epic
Pink Floyd, King Crimpson, Genesis, God speed you! Black emperor are some of bands that made spiritual esoteric music like this. Tool are great, but it's not something that we have never heard before.
Who else makes music like this?
the worst part about tool is they make any other music sound like shit
I almost hit the unsubscribe button when you paused just before the face melting moment of Parabala kicking in..but you redeemed yourself with another great reaction to one of my favourite bands and songs..who else makes music like tool..errr…no one..
i was so ready to be mad about that too but he did redeem himself 🤣
You might dig King Crimson. I'd be really interested to see a reaction to The Construkction of Light: ruclips.net/video/W7BS95mnpV4/видео.html
Is King Crimson music similar to Tool music? Eh, yes and no. Neither band are concerned with track length, or radio friendliness.
Great but the deepest you yet to do trust me do Vicarious it will be the deep analysis on today's Society and I bet you could talk for days on how spot on this song is Vicarious
