Tool Reaction Video
![GOT EMOTIONAL... TOOL - PARABOL & PARABOLA [REACTION!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IFMNaLMjink/mqdefault.jpg)
My mind automatically played ticks and leeches after finishing this lol
Yep. Awesome song...
Hell yeah
Lol yup me also
Same! Lol!
Dude same lmao
-20 year old me: This song is beautiful
-36 year old me: *Tears up thinking about the friends and family I’ve lost and having hope we will all meet again*
We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion
we are, it is, and you will
Right on, man. This has always been the most emotionally heavy song by tool for me. When it hits it's instant eargasm even after a thousand listens.
I hope he breaks down Jambi and Eulogy also. Their whole discography really deserves a listen. So many gems.
I'm with you though, powerful song.
*edit: he mentioned not knowing what album this song is off of. I'm a firm believer that tool needs to be consumed by the album. They each have their own vibes that almoat require listening to the previous song to get the whole experience, the journey from headspace to headspace from song to song is just as powerful as the songs themselves. They are our generation's Pink Floyd in that sense. In my opinion.
Meet again? They live on in you. Each memory is a portion of them, and a portion of you. You won’t “meet again” you’ll be reuniting the myriad pieces of the whole.
Boy you said it. This song makes my heart hurt but in a beautiful way.
@@codename495 That's beautiful, thank you. I've been missing my mom a lot lately and it's hard to focus on the positive. A lot of regret and shame there.
Please don’t ever apologize for going “long” in a Tool reaction video. Any member of the Tool Army appreciates the work you put into the breakdown and it’s never long enough! Thanks so much for your hard work.
Exactly!
We’re tool fans we know how to sit for long periods of time 😂
We're all Tools out here 😂😂👍
Exactly! We're watching these videos to hear your reactions, don't apologize for giving us what we're here for in the first place
tool fans are not exactly known for having short attention spans
Lateralus is a masterpiece of an album.
Truly biblical
Their best, I think. And that's a hard, hard decision to make. That and FI, and maybe 10,000 Days too, are pure Tool 🔧
With Days and FI, a lot of their input was put into the production. That's why I feel like, the more we go along with them, the closer we get to their "actual" sound
Always Has Been 👽
It's their Darkside of the moon
@@TheUselessGeniusX I found 10,000 Days to be a mixed bag compared to Lateralus. And I think Fear Inoculum is somewhere in-between the other two albums.
The build into Parabola is one of the best things Tool has done (and that's saying something as they've done a LOT of great things)
Can’t believe he stopped it just before it was gonna kick in!
The transition between songs almost paralyzes me sometimes. Idk what is going on physically but the goosebumps kick in so hard, my whole body vibrates and it like fucks up my consciousness lmao
@@rickyspanish9625 Damn, I think the transition is pretty bad ass but it sounds like your music might be laced with Heroin. Lol wish I could experience that.
@@exar1806 ...if he didn't stop there he wouldn't get a chance to stop and react to/break down Parabol before entering Parabola, so what would you have had him do? :/
@@exar1806 If he was gonna stop it anyway, I'm just glad he did at that very moment, because if had done it right at the moment of the transition he would've certainly fktd it up like I've heard it done so many times..
WOW, what a super COOL BEANZ response to the breakdown. Just had a buddy from New Zealand who I hadn't seen in years call me out of the blue and said he caught this on a share to Facebook. Man, what fun world music is. Thank all of you who are sharing this video too!
AWWWWWWRIGHT!!! Here is the Tool PLaylist of all my Tool reactions: ruclips.net/p/PLFAb_86GE-exEvClgILF7DnAYUVOVt_pu
NOTE: (edit) Being I didn't have a way to play both Parabol and Parabola without having to do a hard stop between videos I used the music from the music video version and that's why you hear that apparent different intro than what's on the album - my bad.
aw man thats great!!! Music is truly the great connector of people!
I've deleted my social medias otherwise I totally would share!!!!! However I do play these when people are over at my house!
Hey I live in nz and been watching ur tool reactions since you started. Love the breakdowns 👍
@@moosealoosea7878 💜💜
Kiaora from New Zealand! Thank you for adding at least 3 new dimensions to my love of Tool!
“I think the kids say simping nowadays.” That was hilarious 😆
It's ok to simp for Maynard
@@blackbolt8447 u still never gonna have s** with him lol
The Grudge, Ticks And Leeches and Jambi are probably the most important jams you haven't got to yet.
Ticks and Leeches. Yes.
yes agreed
Flood and Undertow also.
Lol
Has he done Schism? I know Schism isn't as beloved by the fandom as some of the less mainstream songs, but it is an important song and has some very interesting musical things going on in my relatively uninformed opinion.
I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't shy away from going into a bit of music theory here and there, if that means you can better explain what exactly is happening in the song. My guess is, most of your audience is already interested in music more than the average person, and would appreciate a deeper analysis from someone knowledgeable in the field. In fact, it's your ability to analyse the theory, the production and playing techniques and explain what is happening on a more fundamental level that separates you from other run of the mill reaction channels, and gives the most value to these videos. Utilize your skillset, I'm sure your audience will only welcome it.
What a brilliant statement that describes exactly why I keep coming back here. It's fun to watch reactions, but it's much more interesting to hear theories as to "why" something is so effective and "affective"
Well said
Damn! Hit the nail on the head! I’m studying theory again so hearing anyone talk about it is particularly grabbing for myself.
Well said!!! If he has that knowledge, of course he will be welcomed!
I agree!!
I love listening to subject-matter-experts go full nerdy-technical into a subject! Even if it's a subject i don't understand much. It's an opportunity to learn!
I remember anxiety waiting for this album's release. I have been a Tool fan ever since I heard Undertow. I was 19 and very pregnant with my now 27 year old daughter. Then they released Aenema and I didn't think they could top that masterpiece. I got Lareralus as soon as it came out and sat in my room, rolled a joint, put this in my CD player and turned it up. I sat on my floor listening to Grudge, then The Patient came on, then Schism, and then these tracks came on and I was blown away. Then Lateralus! Another freaking masterpiece.
Fear Inoculum is stunning...a gorgeous continuance of the previous albums in a way...a standalone masterpiece as well as an alternate dimension sibling
@@luna_belle5029 agreed
Ur old
@@schmidth and you're ignorant
@@schmidthhappens to all the fortunate ones. If you’re lucky, it’ll happen to you too.
Just don't forget tool's most underrated songs later: eulogy the patient and H.
Jimmy too!!!
Would LOVE to see Geebz do The Patient!
H. is still my favorite song, all these years later.
Perfect
Omg The Patient is amazing.
Listening to Parabol with out listening to Parabola is like listening to Brain Damage with out listening to Eclipse.
You forgot vacarious
@@chefericksalvage what did he forget now?
@@NikolaBlahBlahh he forgot the "i" 😸
@@NikolaBlahBlahh LMAO I just realized that I was missing the I hahaha thanks
Man I hate it when the radio only plays Brain Damage. Should be illegal.
GUYS, THIS GEEBZ 100TH MUSIC REACTION! He doesn't mention this specifically, but it's pretty special he did Parabola and that he made it a deep and meaningful review. Keep up the good content, brother.
yes, I love his reactions. In my humble he is one of the best reactors 🤘
This bands greatness cannot be overstated. This is probably their best song lyrically. I think every tool fan has a "tool saved my life" story. Beautiful stuff
Vicarious has a better and more relatable theme i'd suppose
Not saved my life but tool got me through some dark dark times. Never appreciated this as a kid, but without a doubt my favourite band hands down now. Just absolutely banana lands, these guys are the real deal.
Tool didn't save me. But they sure as shit changed me
I think Maynard’s Greatest “feeling” song is Mama Sed. with Puscifer. My opinion.
Pushit is keeping me alive at the moment
This song helped me deal with the illness and subsequent passing of my mother.
This album opens a pathway to understanding our minds, and feels like it was channeled rather than written. Perfection.
This song melts my face.
I love how you called the guitar sound “honorable and organic.” I don’t know what you mean, but I know exactly what you mean.
#stillhere
Also...aaalright! 🤙🏻
I accidentally downvoted, I'm sorry my friend
@@ethanshaw8014 I upvoted to counteract you, but in your honor.
@@ethanshaw8014 Ha! No worries, man.
Yeah🤓
"The patient" is a must listen.
One of my faves
Agreed, Still waiting to catch that one live someday!
This
YES
Absolutely
When art critics try to explain art, I roll my eyes. When Geebz explains music, it's like he unclogs my ears.
I regard this as Tool's must beautiful song. The intro, the crystal clear vocals, the lyrics, the driving drums, ... Nothing feels out of place here and there's such an amazing balance between every instrument. This is not my favorite song but I think this is their most perfect song.
The video, too, tells a beautiful and emotional story!
@@avaricesyn9319 i got no fuckin clue whats going on in the video but the song is great
Most underrated RUclips Channel of all time. I feel for people who will miss out on this particular content. Such an interesting perspective. Love it.
WOW JACOB - I appreciate that!
@@KeyOfGeebz Yes sir! When I heard you talking about how awesome raw fret buzz on a bass sounds, I was like "This dude knows what's up". I never fix my bass's fret buzz lol. Keep up the good work.
@@Floridacat123 very well said bro. I’ve probably listened to this one in particular 10x now. Not to be a hardcore fan boy or anything but just love how he does his channel. Epic.
Who else cant wait for him to get to the fear inocolum songs after the other tool classics?
yes!
Yup, that's going to be an amazing slide of reactions :)
I personally can’t wait for him to listen to Rosetta Stoned.
i guess everyone, hahah xd
@@Brotha_Teresa he did Rosetta stoned
Who wants to see Geebz listen to some Primus.
I wouldn't even know what to recommend he review first. Maybe American Life or Mr Kinkle, hell even Over the Electric Grapevine.
@@scottimpens good choices and I thought you were going to go with over the falls at the end of their
@@scottimpens Electric Grapevine would be good, I won't complain though.
Primus sucks!!.
Phish > Ween > Primus
Guys, let's also not forget the Holy Trinity of Tool : Disposition, Reflection and Triad. I can't quite wait for your reaction to that, Good Sir.
I've said good list to a few hear, but you found the gold vein😎😈
Am I right to think Neurosis inspired tool? The tribal drumming and build up to a crushing guitar in Through Silver in Blood reminds me of Lateralus. But reflection takes it up a notch and goes full psychadelic.
@@Scp716creativecommons haha, yeah! Glad to hear that I'm not alone in singling this strand out 🙃🤩
@@shadow67876 how interesting. I haven't heard of Neurosis. I must look into them! It's fair to say, though, that Danny is heavily inspired and influenced by the ethereal atmosphere generated by the tabla - in many ways, the instrument informs Tool's spiritual ambience (as epitomized in Reflection).
Oh yes..
Rick Beato does a pretty great theoretical dive into this piece. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.
Been subbed to Rick for a while now. I love "What Makes This Song Great?".
I love Rick
Rick is the man everything from what makes this song great to is music lessons granted im only a beginner at theory I no the basic but watching Rick im slowly learning. I can take one video an have it keep me busy for a month lol. Idk how he retains all that info lol.
@@scotttam7491 Hey, 10+ years classical musician here. There's hardly any theory. Like, the grand total of naming and rules that actually go into contemporary musical theory. There aren't as many as some people will make you think. The actual challenge begins when you, the theorist, begins to try and understand how different instruments work, namely sound science. Theory itself pretty much only comprises the names of notes, chords and scales, by themselves and in relation to one another, and then some old ass concepts about "ideal musical moments" such as cadences and syncopation. But in practice they're just naming conventions we classical people use to describe what we're doing. And most of it's in Italian, so they get a free pass. Just like French in cooking. Or pretty much all Europeans for medicine.
As someone interested in music more as a creator or enthusiast, for instance, you should be much more concerned with how to actually achieve the sound you want to produce. Be that in terms of one instrument or an entire band/orchestra. As it turns out, to do just that you need next to zero "music theory". The actual theory only starts to matter if the things you listen to or try to reproduce are 100+ years old cantatas, chorals or dances. Anything vaguely recent follows largely incompatible rules, such as autonomous ideas about tonality and free rhythm.
Somehow people think it's "cool" to use the classical toolbox to describe something like rock. And you definitely could do that. But it just doesn't make any real sense. 90% of "the theory" (with the notable exception of the names and simple functions of notes and chords) is inapplicable to rock music entirely. In jazz, for instance, they actually invented their own theory regarding chords, ornaments and techniques, and just stamped that on top of some basic classical theory, because they realised music had evolved and they were already breaking most of the rules anyway.
Personally, I would just get used to the very, very basics, like the colloquial names of notes and chords, and then techniques in the context of their respective instruments. Beyond that, I swear even the experts have no idea what they're talking about most of the time, when it's about the modern musics.
Maynard sounds exactly the same live. It's...it's absolutely mind-blowing.
This is lateralus. Engineered by david botrill. This album is going to be 20 years old on may 15th. This song hooked me on tool. Been a die hard fan ever since.
Might not only be their finest work ever along with Aenima but maybe the greatest album ever made in my humble opinion.
Damn i feel old! I was 19 when it was released. The first time I heard this album I was on acid. Its my favorite album ever!
@@dekadenser it is certainly up there. Could be our generations dark side of the moon or the wall. Only time will tell. But I agree with you for sure
@@dekadenser nah bro lateralus is super finesse. Aenima was actually sloppy asf imo
This album hooked me on Tool. The lyrical themes and compositions are so unique, even for Tool. Love how they collaborate with Alex Gray with the artwork :D This artwork is probably their finest and most fitting! :D
When you put your finger on your forehead I was like "YEAH he got it!" That is frequency music, root to crown. How beautiful and mind boggling of a sequence that is.
💯
Not only that, but at the end when he did that, it was the point in the music video where the eye settles on the forehead of the being. CRAZY
@@jametowne Exactly. he could feel it, without needing to see it. The visual during that part of the video is in sync with the meditative part of the song. Listening and breathing with it letting the 'kundalini' rise with the song is just as powerful as listening to one of those '7 chakra meditation' videos. Super cool, so glad to see that.
Just read your comment - got a big smile on my face ~Namaste~
@@KeyOfGeebz awe you made my day ❤ thanks 😊
This is my favorite song, in all of modern music.
Got the boy Ezio on the profile pic, gotta love it
Please please do the grudge soon. That song is a masterpiece.
YES!
YES!
It has my favourite tool lyrics as well.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Agreed. I love that one
Thats true, one of the best!
"Just an old guy having fun." I think you're underselling yourself a bit, but at the same time being completely honest. You help me understand exactly why I love this music, and why it affects me so much. But also the fact that you love doing it, and are having fun is what makes these videos enjoyable. Keep on Keeping on my dude.
Anyone else just simply overjoyed for yet another reason to listen to TOOL???? Its been my favorite band since I was like 13!!! I'm 32 now and it NEVER GETS OLD TO ME
I'm 40 and feel the same, so you got at least 8 years more to enjoy, I'll let you know again in 10 years lol
@@ajfr1n9e51 🤗
I'm 25 years in, and still, my favorite album is ænema. Next year I can say more than half of my life I've been a tool fanatic, and never got tired of most albums. Opiate is not quite progressive enough for me. But, your stuck..
Dunno why but I assume you're American, if not my apologies, but if u are check out a couple of British bands with a toolish flavor, 65daysofstatic and Biffy Clyro, hope you like them, greetings from the UK
@@ajfr1n9e51 thank you, ill have a listen!
These songs are therapy for me, cheaper and more effective than a psychologist.
For sure...
The first part of parabola really did help me find peace. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
It’s actually helping me get over the death of my brother. I know it sounds corny, but the lyric, “makes me feel that I am not alone” is incredibly freeing for me. My brother would’ve loved this.
Cheers friend! I feel the same. 🤙
Pain is an illusion
Im waiting like a stalking butler for a 6 hour “geebz listens to 10,000 days album from front to back” video
YESS!!
Ditto! Also: 69th like! 🤘🏾🍻
I’d watch it lol
I did for three years straight. 😆
Wish I had a woman who could listen to it with would be perfect.
This was the first song I played for my daughter uppon her entry into this world.
I used to sing Parabol to my son while rocking him to sleep.
Me too. Parabol *is* for the baby in the womb.
@@paultullo3275 I’m doing that with my 5 week old son right now! Parabol/a and Lateralus are two of his lullabies.
Aaaaalright.
The next song on the album is 'Ticks and Leeches' which is a pearl in its own right.
TooL songs are long so your long analysis is completely justified. Your take on their music is very educational and entertaining.
You deserve all the attention you’re getting and some. By far the most thoughtful reaction channel on RUclips I reckon, and you just come across really down to earth. Love that you pick your spots well to pause and analyse,
Keep doing what you’re doing, this is quality content
"Honorable and Organic" are two words I would use to describe your personality too haha .. Thanks for this breakdown. I appreciate these more than you know mate. Aloha from the UK!
this is my favorite engineering on a tool album. It has an epic cinematic quality above their other albums.
The guitar drop between the 2 tracks always gives me chills. It's brilliant!
"I don't know where this fits in the discography of the album." In the middle, the centre of a parabola.
There is a reason there's a track numbering called "The Holy Gift".
Haha, you stopped it exactly at the right time with your first interruption. Nice!
First thing I thought when he stopped it there was "Oh no, if he doesn't rewind before he starts playing again, the "hit" is going to lose impact". Then he rewinded it right after he was done speaking and with relief I awaited for a split second with a huge smile on my face before he heard that great moment for the first time.
It was a wild ride I tell you.
Next you have to do Disposition, reflection and triad (in that order) all together, aka "the holy trinity"
Yes, finally! I've been scrolling like, "No one mentioning 'Reflection'?" It's also one of those tracks where you hear a distinctive riff by the synth being repeated on the FI album... I'd love to see Geebs map out these connecting riffs through the songs and see his interpretation of the emotional tone being conveyed across albums. I know. I know. Classic Tool fan mania, but... "I know the pieces fit." 😉🤷🏽♀️😅🤘🏼
You can do it off-camera, but you have to just listen to the Lateralus album all the way through once. It's a journey.
I get that out of Tool, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, there's good and then there's great
A song perfectly described by its opening lyrics. So familiar and overwhelmingly warm.
"I'm a goober for the kick". The musician in me laughed out loud.
Yessssss, couldn't have clicked any faster🤗
The patient, no quarter, eulogy, and jimmy are great also
Jimmy gotta be one of the most nostalgic songs I've ever known
@@Scp716creativecommonsYES💜 I love every inch of TOOL!!!
I'm still waiting for him to do The Grudge
@@KoRn_NuTT forsure!!! A true masterpiece!
Just don't forget if we ask for "Jimmy" we need to begin the journey with "Intermission", even though its played by someone else, it's the same melody carried over with a different "voice". The contrast is where its at🤘🏼
Lateralus came out when I was a junior in high school. My musical tastes hadn’t really evolved that much at that age. I liked Tool, but I didn’t understand music so I couldn’t appreciate it. Now, in my mid 30s, I can really appreciate the virtuosity in these musicians.
toolshed.down.net used to be THE place to talk about Tool, get tool tabs, etc (on dialup, hah!) toolshed.down.net/tour/summer98/980825.html ahhh so cool to see a review I left from back then. Internet sure was different back then lol
Surely you’ve seen the older music videos, right? From the undertow era?
I find that happens with me and a lot of bands... specifically- Mudvayne, Pink Floyd, LedZep... hell, if you would have told highschool me that one day I'd genuinely be enthralled with Crooked Still (newgrass)... doubt would be a significant understatement.
@@HandlesAreDumb_111 crooked still, huh? Thanks for that recommendation 😄 never heard of em before but I’m following on spotify now. You may like the beef seeds then. They were a new grass cover band on yt that seems to have disbanded =\ hope you have a good weekend n thx again
@@KazzArie oohhh! ...I genuinely hope you enjoy them :)
I like them a lot... 'Half of What We Know' was the bait, but 'Did You Sleep Well', 'When First Unto This Country', 'Florence' and 'Oh, Agamemnon' set the hook. (Oddly- it's hard for my eyes to stay dry during Florence... that 'and enemies surrounding you, have courage and be bold' line... I miss a breath...)
Thank you for the flattery.
@@KazzArie shit! ...and 'Golden Vanity' ...that needs mentioned as well 😉
This song is a deeply spiritual experience for me. You do such a great job breaking this down, & it makes me smile that you appreciate it on your first listen.
I was studying music in college when this album released, & it's still one of my favorite records of all time.
I don’t mind you pausing as that’s why we’re here, but when you paused it in Parabol actually hurt me. I felt so robbed 😂
I feel you. I know he knows we think he pauses it in the wrong places but that one and during Maynard screaming "Aliiiiiiiive"
Lmfaoo 😂 same but I love the guys Reaction
I was reading this comment right at the moment and I was going "oh, no! Hang on just one more second!" 😆😆
It hurt my soul... like you just robbed yourself of one of the most epic transitions in music history and I know he didn't know... but damn... so close
...if he didn't stop there he wouldn't get a chance to stop and react to/break down Parabol before entering Parabola, so what would you have had him do? :/
"Waiting like a stalking butler". Nice! "And I still wait..." -The Patient
As soon as that Maynard vocal comes in, chills. I’ve heard these songs countless times and I still feel like it’s so fresh. Tool just knows how to engage the listener and keep you glued. These are actually the first songs on my workout music.
Etc. Geniuses
I always run to this album. It sets a good pace and the lyrics are so encouraging when the pain starts.
We barely remember
Who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here, right now
Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality
This holy experience
Choosing to be here in...

This BO-DAYYYY!

I love that you paused just seconds before the big transition...
These reactions are enhancing so much my listening experience. Your approach brings a colorful way to see the engineering behind the music and it is perfect for noobies in music theory like me. I appreciate so much your work. Thank you for doing this.
All right. Still need “the grudge”!!
When I really *HEARD* The Grudge for the first time after hearing it "in conversation" let's say... When I first dedicated time to hearing it, I was amazed, and I just HAD to master it on drums, it is such an epic song.
Excellent! Alllll right!! Please do "The Grudge" by Tool. You won't regret it.
If your looking for a head bobbing song you'd love "Counting Body like Sheep"
ALLLL RIIIGHT!
It'd be fun to do see a back-to-back of the originals and remixes. Do Pet then Counting Bodies Like Sheep.
PETTTTTT!
Adam worked as a sculptor/modellist in Jurassic Park and other stuff, he did animatronics, concepts and a lot of other things, the videos are all made by him, he loves stop motion.
its impossible to have these songs on a playlist and not have parabol into parabola, almost feels like a sin not to do so.
Please react to more NINE INCH NAILS songs.They re a great technical and versatile band and they re also the pioneers of mainstream industrial rock music.Tool fans love NIN and the same way around.

Chug chug .. chug chug ..chug chug chug chug
I was wondering if you'd mention the little Roundabout lick there. I have always felt it's an intentional tribute to Yes
Right?
This is one of, if not the greatest suites from Tool. It has such an importance to it, not necessarily just for me, but for anyone that just hears it.
This song personally ticks all the boxes of an instant classic. Memorable lyrics, passionate backtracking, and is an absolute ear-worm through and through. Also you're the first person that I've seen do reactions to music and take notes while doing so, and I absolutely love it.
I think one could make a viable argument that this suite is Tool’s greatest work.
the outro of Parabola still gives me goose bumps today....
EVERY! SINGLE! TIME!
SHit I straight up cried this time!
It's been a long time since I listened to this song because this song needs so much of my focus.
My favourite bit is the frogs...no one ever mentions the frogs
Allllllllllllright!
This song is one of not many songs where Tool uses a tuning other than Drop D. Instead of DADGBE, Adam and Justin tune down the lowest two strings to B and E, so it becomes BEDGBE, BEDG on bass
Is it the same tunning like Prison Sex? cause live Adam uses a yellow Les Paul for both these songs.
@@Qliphirot They definitely drop Down to C or B for ‘Prison Sex’ these days, same with ‘The Pot’ too I’m pretty sure.
You mean like prison sex?
That tuning would confuse the shit out of me intervallically but I guess you would get used to the adjustment between the 5&4 strings
@@Meshuggapeth it works nice bc if you play a power chord on the 5th and 4th it turns into octaves
Wow. listening and reading other comments helps put in perspective and come to light things in our lives. As one who thinks about death and loss of people in my life listening to this song clarifies to me how Tool has emotionally helped me deal with stress and not want to end this life too early.
Been listening to tool for many years. Glad to be part of the Army
All Right, it's awesome to see someone else physically feel the music and appreciate the way it makes the body vibe as much as I do myself. The music video adds about 70% more intensity to the song especially if you have ever had anyone you are close to transition from our physical world to the here after due to cancer. I tell you I am still around today due in part to this carefully crafted and well detailed work of Master artistry the video has alot of Alex Greys art its like they took a Master Artist from every media angle and beautifully pieced every artists work into an intense emotional roller coaster
"the last thing Adam played almost sounding like they were going into Roundabout" that made me laugh actually, because I never even noticed that in my 14+ years of listening to them
We’ve all been waiting for this one! Great job as always. Now let’s get to the real fun... The Grudge. (Yes, I’m gonna keep bugging you until you do it)
Aalllllllright!
THIS is the one I've been waiting for!!!!!! You've made my day with this! I'm going to pour myself a drink and watch this.
I love that you're leaning into your strengths. Giving insight that a lot of other reacters are bound to miss.
Aaaalright!
90k+! Wow! So proud! This channel is amazing.
Opeth and Tool on the same day? You've earned a cookie my friend. A fine ass cookie. And a like of course.
The lyrics of these two tracks is what made me a fan of Tool. Also the "Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience" part is so amazing, with the lyrics, the guitar sliding while fading in and out and the bass line of course and the drums. Damn what a passage!
Has anyone asked for Rishloo yet? "Feather Gun" is fun
Rishloo are SO underrated, they're incredible!
I would love to hear his take on Dark Charade
"Scissorlips" is constantly in rotation in my playlist. Such a fantastic album.
YES! Also would love to see some Karnivool
Dark charade, wislow or Dead Rope Machine
I'd agree that this one and 46 and 2 are very straight forward for Tool, also Prison Sex and The Pot.
This song duo is one of my favorites. My first concert was to see Tool during their Lateralus tour... The visuals were amazing and the muddy riff towards the end of Parabola went for a while through a brief interlude; it was such a memorable experience. Pneuma felt like a welcome trip back home to pay respect to that moment in time for me.
awwwwright
I literally shit my pants when I saw you found this combo....
Totally knew that Yes reference was coming! Haha. TOOL and Opeth in the same day...great day to be off of work! 🤘
We crossed the half hour mark! Might as well do a whole album now, am i right!?! 🐻🌺🐻🌺🐻
That first moment when the harmony vocals come in, still gives me chills 20 years later
Alllll right 😂 been listening to so many of these, you had me at my first "Smoke em if you got em." These are a pure joy to watch.
25:30 the part of the video where the DMT breakthrough starts.
To quote Anakin Skywalker
*This is where the fun begins*
For a second I was certain the quote would be "I hate sand", and I biefly started trying decrypt what that was supposed to mean.
Technically... depending on your view order Han said it first. ;-)
@@edwardv1255 He clearly is not a fan of this song, right? It’s coarse, and rough, and it gets everywhere.
@@mcgreggers99 I see what you did there 😏
Parabol/Parabola is one of the greatest pieces of art in the history of the world. I have a Parabola tattoo. "Embrace This Moment, Remember... We Are Eternal, All This Pain Is An Illusion."
Great work, brotha! Mahalo ♥
If I ever get a tattoo, that's the one I would get as well.
@@MostlyLost I honestly did not expect this kind of negativity on a Tool video.
Me too. On my inner bicep
@@MostlyLost nah, it's negativity. This other person is welcome to get whatever they want tattooed anywhere on them, and in any style they wish.
Just because it is your "truth" doesn't mean it's everyone elses. Save your judgemental comments, and keep them to yourself 👌🖤
@@chrystianmarrero ignore it. Get a tattoo that YOU want, and one that brings YOU joy when you look at it. We aren't here to please random people on the internet
Alllll right! 😊
Also, “The Grudge” and “Jambi” next please!!!
Alllllright!! Thank you for taking your time with this one and the previous videos. Much appreciated! Aloha!
Geebz, I’ve came back to these Tool reactions from you several hundred times probably and I will continue to do so. I would love to see you interview some of the guys from the band. Either way, keep showing Tool love and thank you for all the great videos buddy. Aloha!
You should listen one of the "The Mars Volta" songs.
Got one coming :)
@@KeyOfGeebz How about a Drive Like Jehu one some day?
@@KeyOfGeebz Check out MV "The Widow" and anything NIN!!!!
The Widow is the song that got me into them.
I love the episode of spongebob, where Gary leads the jellyfish out by clicking his eyes to the intro of eulogy
Lol I thought I was the only one who heard that
You have to go into a huge Meshuggah dive like you've done with Tool. They are alike in more ways than you realize. I'm so excited to see Clockworks drumcam 🤘
He needs to decompose "I" ... That would be interesting....
Yes - tracks off early Meshuggah records ie Destroy Erase Improve and especially Nothing (complete album masterpiece).
@@nikjohnson9944 Completely agree - you beat me to it.
ah the lateralus tour.. meshuggah opened for tool in slc
@@Verifraudreports I'd pay money to see that. Lots of money. 2 of my fav bands, both world class at live performance.
This song is actually in B-E-D-G-B-E on guitar. It's one of the only songs where Adam is tuned differently. I know The Pot at their shows is now usually in Drop C so Maynard can do his vocals. He can't do what he used to and so they adjusted.
Maynard lyrics in The Pot in the album was also pitched up in software apparently.
Yup!! Crazy tuning! It’s awesome playing the bass part!
Allllllllllllllllll right!!!!
Lateralus, the album this is from, will forever be my favorite Tool album.
Everything they have done has been mind blowingly, mind bindingly amazing.
But this whole album, all these years later STILL gives me chicken skin every damn time.
I get so excited when I have time to listen to it start to finish because the mind journey is always so epic.
I love so much seeing people get excited about Tool.
Tool is as close to a religion as I will ever come.
Thanks brother
Please get to The Grudge soon. It's my favorite Tool song.
For me, these two songs together are third eye purple level as you say and your first stop had me in stitches
Take disposition, reflection, and triad, directly into third eye. If the wound still aches, try going salival, and pushit. In case of emergency, Rosetta stoned
Someone’s probably already mentioned it, but in case they haven’t, there is a video on RUclips of Justin’s entire bass recording for parabola. It’s incredible. So many nuances you don’t hear with all the other instruments.
Its almost the band wants to portray a primal essence. Gentle at the beginning, then full force wild, instinctual, and raw. Truly a song worthy of celebrating life
Getting married in November and this song is going to be our first dance.
I love everything about this. 💥🔥
You gonna post a video of it? Right? You must! Please! 😢💀🖤🤗
