As Maynard sings in Lateralus: Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind. So if you’re in for a out-of-body experience, strap in, today we’re looking at Tool. Also, this is definitely not safe for work and there will be some disturbing images and subjects we’ll have to talk about. You have been warned.
This is quite possibly the least masturbatory analysis I've seen of Tool's music. Well done!
it was a little masturbatory in the beginning, but i agree lol.
Maynard said they made tool “because the music at the time didn’t have the climaxes in their songs in the right positions so they made songs with the climaxes where they needed to be for their own personal masturbation.” 😂
How does Tool write a song? Slowly....very...VERY...slowly. Like a drunk turtle trying swim across an ocean made of peanut butter.
Well, to be fair a person cannot just sit down and hammer out something as deeply profound as what they do in short order...
I imagine it takes a lot of personal soul searching and things of that nature to get there...
🤣🤣🤘🏽 this comment made my week. And it’s true!
I would guess that you didn't even watch the video thru its end and made your point on a comment. Exactly what Tool try to work around. It's true, they write slowly but not like your stupid analogy. Like someone who wants to write something that is meaningful.
@@PedroFaria he was joking big guy, the fact that Maynard also has APC and the other one puscifer with Trent so not only is it the emotion of the song that causes the wait but also the other projects he's involved with
Then the 5th Album must have the secret to the universe hidden within it or some shit if it's taking them this long to write their album.
Tool songs, as a whole make me feel like im entering through a door to an entirely different ecosystem.
the scary door
Songwriting with Babish.
A more accurate description I cannot imagine.
Abuyin ibn Djadir I really appreciate this comment. Thank you.
Love this comment, I was already thinking exactly that.
singing with babish 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Abuyin ibn Djadir i can't unthink this now...
Huge balls for making this video. Tool is a very complex band.
Relatively perhaps.
Tool is pretty complex, but also relatively easy to parse. Especially since you only have to sort through 4 parts that are each so independent. The music isn't subtle, and it's not hiding anything.
Other prog bands out there go the extra mile to add all the subtlety to evoke more subliminal feelings and ideas in their music... (Like The Dear Hunter, but maybe I have a little bias). Tool is great though.
Not really. They put thought into their writing and adhere to an overarching theme and a gimmick original to themselves, but that's just the art of album making which is all but dead now, but would have just made them just another dog in the pack in the 70s.
i read "hugs balls"
i need some sleep.
666Mrnecrobutcher - much more complex and original than your username.
stay in school, kid.
Maynard on Prison Sex:
“This song is about identifying and recognizing cyclical abuse within yourself.”
Sure it could be religion and many other things. It’s most easily understood and fits most closely in the context of sexual abuse though.
The entire Aenima album is about introspection and individuation. To me it’s the most beautiful album ever written.
Prison Sex is on Undertow. Was that a mistake, or are you just commenting that they continued their introspection commentary on the next album?
bro. everything they've ever released from Ænema on is about introspection and personal growth. i love it.
I looove how you organize your videos: so clear, easy to follow, very right into the point.... Oh man, you are terrific!!!
I must absolutely agree. First time I've visited your channel and am very pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed your observations and presentation, quite penetrating and yet succinct.
Parabol/Parabola is one of my favorite tunes. Just the constant guitar drone, and especially Maynard riding on the F# the entire way through.
Yea..that's a song that does something to my soul
Jack Rota it’s still as relevant as ever, even after 18 years.
still one of my favorites to this day. It helps remind me of the perspective of eternity and enjoy the time I have here being alive.
Rick Beato highlights the cleverness of Parabol/Parabola here: ruclips.net/video/f53W_KfQpNc/видео.html

Holy shit, Roman memes are bleeding into RUclips
Tool maximizes discordance. Discordance is the key to originality ...to patterns within apparent chaos...and that is why their music is not easily consumed with a mere hearing of a 10 second clip...they are so tightly integrated across the variation in sounds that to get the full experience you MUST listen to the whole song...this is also why you can listen to them over and over and over and traverse different explorations on the sonic landscape all these varied ....not so easily predicted sound patterns take you...it's glorious work.
This is even more true when seeing them live.
I've never seen Tool explained as well as this before...
Even I realized that as deep as I like to believe I think I'm not doing them justice when listening to their songs...
Thank You!
Search for "Alvinsch" on RUclips. He's a Colombian music RUclipsr who does awesome video essays on music. He did a 30 minute video on Tool, specifically, Lateralus. I think his videos have English subtitles, so you can check them out!
@@meci6625 .....The video did not have English subtitles.
tool helped me accept being an atheist when i was younger...as corny as that sounds. But I met a girl once who is a huge fan and they helped her find religion... its crazy how they just portray vague ideas that you can mold.
I love the coexistence of both a rejection of religion, but also a desire for the mystical in Tool's lyrics. Good comment.
Definitely a Spiritual Awakening...either way.....
No?
Not really corny, thanks for sharing. It's interesting to me that some people have to come to terms with atheism. When I realized there was probably no god, it felt like a ton of weight lifted off my shoulders.
@@kambion yes The Heaviest Weight. I truly LOVE MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME , AND LOVE YOU WHO ARE READING THIS . AND THOSE WHO DONT , TOO. 😀🐶🔭
Most religions have very little to do with God and or the mystical. Religion is man’s feeble attempt at organizing, labeling, and putting the divine mystery into jar to be dissected and divided. The spiritual quality of life can and most certainly does exist beyond the grip of religion. But... if religion is the necessary stepping stone one needs in order to evolve.. than by all means. Not here to judge, but rather remind people that “God” is not beholden to any religion.
Finally someone did it!!! :) Thank you so much!!!
Ambir91 lol tu comentaste en el ultimo video de antonio garcia villagrán
Deko Parra si pues jajaja hola hermano, que tal con la revolución hamparte? ;)
Ambir91 jajaja compartiendola con medio mundo 💜
Deko Parra lo mismo hermano 💖
I thought the answer was goin to be they wait ten yrs.
Excellent
Man. U can tell this was made by a true tool fan.
oh yeah with an APC pic on the thumbnail lol. true fan indeed
Man. U? Thats a great football team
@@KodyXXVll lmao
@@SwagHorse Was a great football team. Now! They are sure way to chronic hypertension...
I've always said tool has a tribal sound. Look at songs like jambi.
Fleato I couldn’t agree more
They are heavily influenced by Indian music
Lipan conjuring
Triad!!
Core Puncher HA! so true 😂🤣😂🤣
Okay, for real. You must do Alice in Chains now!
crazyaboutnature Alice in chains (original with layne) would in fact be extremely superb. You will get one guaranteed view and like right here my friend. Hehe...
YES! This!
Gregory Chuhta old Alice and new Alice is just Jerry Cantrell changing music styles and evolving his writing style. Cantrell was their main songwriter contributing to 94% of the musical compositions and 50% of the lyrics in the Layne days. They were always heading towards the new doom metal style. It already started with Died and Get Born Again. New Alice is fucking good too. One song I'd really like them to dissect is Acid Bubble. Its a complex composition.
💖😣💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👀
Gregory Chuhta Layne didn't write Alice in Chains' songs. Jerry Cantrell did.
Transcendent is the only word I can think of to describe Tool's music
Scrumtrulescent
I was thinking the same when he asked
Well I'm gonna listen to some tool now.
issac Hernandez ’bout time! 😀
lucky bastard getting to listen to tool for first time
Those "clean guitar parts" were mostly the bass.
For real though
the fuck do you think a bass is?
@@saberuk7374 You're not supposed to hear the bass in metal
uuuhm what? did you even listen to the songs of tool? if you dont hear the bass your deaf xD
What about Obscura, Dying fetus, Korn, Deftones, Rage against the Machine, Haken, any doom metal,
I dont know man we must listen to 2 different music genres...
When your not supposed to hear it why use it at all xD
albo nymus deep breaths, friend.
Hey, can we expect a Primus video in the future?
I'm so down for Primus or System of a Down
yes primus!
That would be so good!!
..primus sucks..
Yes please!
Not to be snarky but all of the examples of polyrhythms are actually polymeters, and at with the thing about clean parts being around the tonic, the first example is distorted, the second and third examples are bass. Otherwise, great video with great information, just incorrect examples.
I noticed that as well with the examples. I don’t really agree with his interpretations but a good video nonetheless.
You're right, there would have been better examples, but during editing, I decided to go with their more popular riffs. Would've felt weird without the Pot in there somewhere, you know? ;)
If you were going with popular songs, I'm surprised you didn't manage to squeeze in Lateralus somewhere. As a math nerd, I think that it is the greatest song of all time
@@nerdmiestergeneral42 he did put lateralus in there, you just missed it. This whole video is just an example of overthinking and overanalyzing hahaha
True. Polymeter not polyrhythm. There are so many examples of this in tool that i think it is hard to pick which examples to use. (Shout out to a favaourite of mine 4:50 of Lateralus) Another note 😉 is that allow Danny Carey does these extremely well this is not by far the first band to do this. So many have before but I think tool is one of the best. Hard to think of a band that did it better.
Maynard is my biggest inspiration, and has motivated me throughout my life to constantly thrive on becoming a better me every day. My music and life would not be where it is at today if not for Tool. Thank you for this enlightening video! Keep up the great work :)
What is a better "you"? What was wrong with the old "you"? How is the new "you" better or worse? Will "you" ever really know? Will it matter in the end? NO.
Tool has taken me through 26 years of my existence and I love it
Do Porcupine Tree/The Smiths/Opeth/Steven Wilson
Iñaki Pol Martinez one at the time dude
Just giving him some options, I'm not asking him to do all of them
did not know all those bands collaborated together
Joseph Hernandez yes they did!!!
Porcupine tree!!! Do porcupine tree!
>"How to write a TOOL song"
>a perfect circle image
*sigh*
yeah i disliked the vidoe just because of that.
to be fair, first album n a half sounded a lot like Tool
@KodyXXVll
Yeah you’re an idiot.
You do realize it still is the same person right?
Great video. I'd love to see Nine Inch Nails next!
I think Trent kinda wandered away from his calling, but I do not find him lacking for it. His early work is undeniably epic, straight and true. Alas, things have changed, but also we should not expect artistic expression to be a constant attribute, either. That's how greatness like Reznor's gets ruined I think. It's not so much ideas that run dry, it's inspiration, experiences. In this country it's a year of touring while writing a second album, uh-huh sure you got it, gonna be epic.
Downward spiral would be cool on this channel though, no doubt...
Tool, one of the best bands out there. Period!
He uses Justins bass line in the Pot as an example of Adams guitar playing.
same difference
You hit on my very favorite part of Tool, which a lot of people overlook. (I see, particularly on social media, a lot of people who find tool pretentious, and make memes about how douchebags tell them that "they just dont understand" or "this song has more meter/signature changes and is therefore better", which is in some ways fair.) I find Progressive music to be a double-edged sword in general, and I think that the relative popularity of Tool, as a band that has these progressive elements has more to do with this notion than Tool in itself being pretentious. The same things that these people are complaining about could be said tenfold for your typical Dream Theater fan.
The part that separates Tool, and in some ways makes them LESS pretentious than your typical Progressive Metal band is the point you made @2:14. They are in many cases using progressive music as a vehicle for representing an idea that includes both music and lyrical theme. To me, Tool is about cohesion and songcraft, rather than instrumental-ism or technique, which drives most ACTUALLY pretentious Progressive Music. In reality, they take a pretty minimalist approach from a skill perspective when compared to almost all of their contemporaries. Dany Carey is almost unarguably the most "showy" member, but even he is generally using his percussion to tie together elements, establish mood, or to foreshadow concepts that are to come later in the arrangements. Prog music is by it's nature kind of pretentious, but Tool seem to be using it as a vehicle for eliminating limitations in pursuit of expressing a usually NECESSARILY complex idea or emotion, rather than using it as an excuse to show off.
I get that their fans can be overbearing, but it drives me nuts when people miss this point, and essentially extend a gripe that they have with progressive music in general almost entirely onto a band within that genre that deserves it the least.
Stretchy Pockets Well said.
Really well said dude! I think exactly the same!
Tool is seld indulgent and pretentious
King Crimson is self indulgent and pretentious
RUSH is self indulgent and pretentious
Yes is self indulgent and pretentious
Zappa is self indulgent and pretentious
Jethro Tull is self indulgent and pretentious
Etc.
Prog rock is the most hated rock genre in the planet. I remember Sonic Youth were offended when someone implied King Crimson were an influence. Radiohead hates the idea Pink Floyd and Prog has anything to do witth their music. Complex Music is always seen as pretentious and self indulgent.
bemersonbakebarmen I like listening to/playing complex music not because I wanna show off, but just because I think it sounds cool and I like it
By eliminating limitations you open yourself to all possibilities I get it 🔧🔧
Do more TooL *PLEASE GOD, PLEASE*
"Heres a clean guitar"
Shows clip of Vicarious
(Bass and Distorted guitar)
...what?
Could we get some love for Rage Against The Machine?
I wonder if anyone ever just “has a quick listen to Tool”
What is this blasphemy you speak of?? Hahahaha
It'd be great if you did an episode on Alice in Chains (especially hitting hard on their unique vocal harmonies). I'd also love an episode on The Dear Hunter, even though they aren't super popular.
Love the show! Keep it up!
When I listen to Tool or Kyuss or similar bands, I don't usually pay attention to the lyrics. But the rhythm sort of entrances me. I find myself finger-drumming along with the drums or bass.
Then as I started to learn what Tool was all about and started to listen to the lyrics, I found out how much it actually applies. Now every time I listen through their albums, I find a new lyric to pick apart and dissect, and I get a whole new meaning to each song. I've listened to each album probably 50 times in the past four years and still I find something new every time. This video basically sums up what I've learned through the past four years, and even still taught me more. I hadn't thought about Prison Sex in terms of the "passing down our beliefs to our children."
This is why Tool is in my very short list of favorite bands. They keep you thinking. They keep you questioning.
Thanks for this video.
that was mind-blowing ...
"How Tool Write A Song"
Well, slowly. Veeery slowly.
Inferis stealer stealer.
Would be great if you could do the same with Porcupine Tree, Pineapple thief, Opeth and Coheed and Cambria
David Muñoz hell yeah Coheed and Cambria!
Porcupine Tree for sure! It would be great to touch on Steven Wilson's solo work as well, he's an incredibly prolific artist.
Idiot The Great I think that it would be better to cover his main influences (70's prog, British pop, 80's pop, 90's rock and metal)... He's an incredible musician, producer and sound engineer, but his songwriting is ultimately a little derivative and not that distinct on his own.. not the best subject for this series (in my opinion, at least).
Travis the Great That's a completely fair criticism of his work, but I'm more interested in the way he uses concepts and storylines to tie his albums together thematically and creates such listenable music while still making use of complex musical ideas.
I heard “the lick” around 7:04
Just me?
Not exactly. The jump from the flat seven back to the one is missing
@@diepappnase111 yeah, but still- almost there 💀💀
@@vincentthienpandey9853
I know right? I just love that part in Parabol. Guess I know why now
Do animals as leaders next please!!
lewis vincent fuck off
Jesus why?
Jesus is just mad three musicians play better than God Himself
Who went here after Spotify got TOOL on there?
Danny has answered where he pulls his tribal inspirations, and readily admits to "appropriating" them. Alot of their rhythmic and chordal choices are covered at their music clinic, I recommend going.
Wow, that interpretation of Prison Sex blew my mind.
I always look forward to these, but this has easily been my favorite artists series so far. I love to see how the compositional techniques a band uses actually reflects their image and the meaning of their songs and this particular video carried many astute observations and interpretations into Tool's discography. Very well done (btw Periphery, Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chilli Peppers are just begging to have an episode done on them).
Please do meshuggah, I'm very curious to see how you analyse their music and I'm dying to hear something that doesn't just talk about their poly-rhythms for half an hour.
When I hear Tool I get a sense of this massive primal force. Like they're recreating the music of the universe that's been present since the beginning of time. Like they're erecting some massive monolith from the center of existence. I guess the one word I would use to describe Tool is "massive". And I definitely don't intend for that to be a pretentious synonym for "big", I mean truly massive. Larger than anything we could fully perceive as a whole without mapping out one part at a time.
Man, I was tripping one time and literally heard different lyrics to the song... I tried to record what the CD was playing on my cassette tape but of course it wasn't the same
I listened to Lateralus on repeat my first time tripping
Yes. I've felt like TOOL is music that always existed, "the music of the universe" as you well said it. When I hear them I feel something resonating inside of me, something primitive and something bigger than myself.
Well said brother tool is bigger then music I was 15 years old when I heard undertow I was like wtf is this and where the fuck has this music been hidding I absolutely love this band above all others Maynerd and com. They invented a sound that will never again even be close to be match tool the music gods of the univerise 💥💢💥
Your real dad I think the word “primal”, which you mentioned, sums them up well. It’s like their music comes from the species from which we later evolved. We recognize it at a fundamental level, but our conscious minds find it sometimes disturbing, confusing, primitive, almost alien. Great band!
Outstanding video! Long time Tool fan and you hit it perfectly!
Do System of a Down next
Yes
I would love to see this
Yes
+1

Tool - Cathartic, psychedelic, angst, best of 2000s metal, rush-esque
Pretty nice breakdown.
When I was a kid I used to listen to Tool very sporadic. It was just too complex for me.
But today I love every single song of Tool.
Sometimes it just needs time.
Good content. Keep going!
I think of Tool as a folk band but with heavy guitars, especially the singing on Lateralus
One of your best works.
I love the way you help me/us to go deeper, to dive-in into music. I write reviews myself, on my blog (currently on hiatus), and my writing is much different then yours. You use theorie of music, and notes, chords and their progressions, etc. On the other side, I am talking about my emotions (mostly) and situations I was while I was listening Lp/CD/tape/mp3. Also I try to theorise on way the music reflects artist's perception of certain phenomenon or state in the World, and how new artwork coexist with previouse discography and current state of music today. I hope I will get back to my reviews, again.
Thank you so much.
Amazing video as always, dude. Never seen such quality of music analysis. System Of A Down next? Rock on!
Really good insightful video, great job man
Artist Series on Alice In Chains? The Beatles? Evanescence?
I never thought about Prison Sex's double meaning. Here's my interpretation of that sequence:
"I've got my hands bound" - He's unable to break free from the limitations placed upon him by religion.
"My head down" - He is subservient out of his own sense of inefficacy. Religion gives him a false sense of strength.
"And my eyes closed" - He refuses to look with his own eyes, instead believing what he's told to believe.
"My throats wide open" He willingly accepts the lies that are fed to him.
The image of a praying man was a brilliant observation though. Well done.
I agree, well articulated
Also conjures up an image of a blindfolded bound person with their throat cut
No, actually, that song is literally about maynard being molested and raped in the ass as a kid.
@@KodyXXVll So does he says. He also said that they do their music so they can climax in the right moment, that none other music give them. Sooo... Use your own mind, don't be a tool ;P
It describes a sacrificial human being.
Yes! You keep doing my favourite bands!
Could you maybe do Joy Division?
everyone is a music theory expert/lyric analyst until bald guy explain the visualization of a person praying, I did imagine a totally different image, I'm in shame!!!
Please make one on Gorillaz and Soundgarden
At 11:03, I thought it was "...My head down and my eyes closed
/ Half-closed, wide open". I guess the "My throat's wide open" is also good. But the reference to religion is just genius.
Nine Inch Nails and Opeth!
I second Opeth. Fittingly, Opeth is my second favorite after Tool.
NIN I totally agree, although it seems Pink Floyd fits better as the secondary band. Tool is a like harder metal Floyd, with some similarities to Opeth except the singing. imo.
I love your other channels too, Today I Found Out, and Biographics! Your musical insights and historical acumen are truly inspiring!
Bahahahahha
Ok man this is a completely different guy that just looks the same
@@k2coolsullivan948 LOLOL RIGHT? :D
Excellent! Great video and addition to the series. Now you just need NIN!
Dan Kaiser YES YES YES YES YES
Great analysis, tool to me are enriching, escapism, fulfilment, and spiritual satisfaction...
Another masterpiece, well done Bro! Hope you do some analisys about System of a Down someday. Cheers!
Them sticking to the tonic might be due to the fact that they like using Phrygian dominant which sounds awesome with having a drone-like tonic playing over melodies, but take my opinion with a grain of salt I am no Music Theorist
I’d like to see a Pixies analysis.
Maynard for me its the best artist of all times. I mean how often one artist can make tree bands epic??? Tool its far out! Perfect Circle its simply the best, and Puscifer becomes my favorite in 2017 when I was in terrible depression state.
Thank You!
Conditions of my parole is such a good album. Now I need to listen
@Luka K. hmm and that's why he and his band is still selling out arenas and some people would sell their left nut to see them and your still sitting at a keyboard complaining and critiquing some one like your the siskle and ebert of music, sure he may not sound the same but would you after 25 years or so, seriously, some people's children.
@Luka K. Well let's see how you sound and act in 25 years. People get older, they sound different, their ambitions change there's bands from the 60's and 70's performing for free at county fairs and casinos just trying to stay some what relevant. I'm not saying tool is the greatest band ever or even my favorite but tool is still gonna make music and sell tickets and people are still gonna listen to them and buy them whether they suck or not and they're still gonna make their millions whether you like it or not. One of my favorite bands growing up was metallica do you think I like their music they've put out the last decade or 2 no would I still go see them even though they're old and gray fuck yea it's just what people do and always will.
Commme on, should have talked about Chancellor's contribution too
Absolutely agree. Cannot talk about Tool's drums without talking about their bass! They're the percussive skeleton of the band's music.
Such a clear line between pre-Chancellor days and now. The old stuff was great, but what he brought to the band brought greatness to whole new level.
Chancellor is an absolute beast.
lps warrior fan 186 to be fair, he didn't do much writing on AENIMA, in fact I'm not sure he wrote more than 3 of the songs on it. So it's hard to compare AENIMA Justin to 10K Justin, since there's a bit less to work with. You've got Lateralus and 10K, that's it.
A Perfect Circle would *at least* make an interesting addendum to this episode....
Queens of The Stone Age! You gotta do them man!
Garrison Peters those guys are amazing
Yeah
He'd have to leave out any clips of no one knows. They get yanked. Everything else seems to be fair game.
wingracer 16 Rick Beato already did No One Knows, so it won't matter if its left out
Ehhhh, I think it was more money hungry lawyers than the actual band, but I understand it could get a strike. I just wanna see this info beast dissect that band until I see the guts and all. A boy can dream!
the only problem with using interviews for evidence in this video is its impossible knowing when maynard is serious or fucking around
Do the Mars Volta or King Crimson.
Deathsoulx25x yes!! I wanna see TMV
Deathsoulx25x The Mars Volta is my favorite band and I have wanted holistic songwriting to do a video on them since I first subscibed
The Mars Volta!!!!!!!
Yessss... TMV please!
Mars Volta would be amazing!
*Coheed and Cambria!* But you can also go with *Puscifer* and *The Reign of Kindo* ;) Anyway: awesome job. Keep it up!
first Nirvana, then Tool. fantastic! how about The Cure or Weezer next?
Thank you for making this video.
A Perfect Circle next!
Most songs hand you a glass full of a concept; whether it is meaning, emotion, ideology, or story. Tool's music takes you by the hand, leads you out into the forest of human experience... and leaves you there to find your way back by yourself.
I would love to see you do a vid on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Leonard Cohen (the 2 Lynards lol)...Skynyrd because I think they were amazing at constructing melodies and riffs and Cohen because he was so...different, and was a true poet.
Alice in Chains pls
Love Tool! Please do Dillinger Escape Plan at some point! :D
Kevin Yes!!!!!!
yeeeea, you're gonna love reviewing them
First video i watched on this channel, and I LOVE it!! Its so well done, im trully amazed :D
Any chance you could do System of a Down next? I feel like theyre interesting enough, both musically and lyrically, to be analysed.
Keep on the good work, greetings from Serbia 😄😄
Really great video! For me the most interesting Maynard lyrics are Forty six & Two - He´s talking about what has to happen with our shadow (as Carl Jung writes) to get 2 more chromosomes (I don´t know if I´m exactly right, but that´s one of the interpretations)
Lukáš Urban The shadow is your unbridled potentials without your anxiety and self limiters. Basically evolving and transcending ones self
Do Soundgarden please
Please do a jeff Buckley video
Tool sounds like a Nikola Tesla invention that connects a homo sapiens worthy enough to the heart of the universe..
Beautiful explanation btw ..
Tool and Nikola Tesla... As a Tool fan and a Serbian guy, I approve this comment with the highest mark.
Do system of a down !!
Tool was the first band I ever really got into. It definitely shaped my thinking, and I think it's helped me not get sucked in by a lot of bullshit. If their goal was to mold people into kind and thoughtful people, they succeeded with me. What I find sad is a lot of the message gets lost with people, and they end up basically worshiping Maynard. At the end of the day we're all just people.
Do soAd next, pls. OwO
TTTMusic notices bulge
Maynard builds lyrical tesseracts around the three dimensional music of Tool.
Death grips
Could you do a video on Tame Impala, Sufjan Stevens, or Pinback?
I loved this episode so much. Great work.
before I've watched it- D phrygian#3?
Alice in Chains?
prisonsex interpretation = mindblown
talking about polyrythms. hehehe
get on that meshuggah level.
Alot of Meshuggah is in 4/4. It's the way it's phrased and accented that makes it sound polyrythymic
@@jockojockoson9995 i mean yeah.
Uh Huh hu...
meshuggah never uses polyrhythms genius. they do syncopation.
It’s mostly 4/4 arranged around different parts of the song to make it seem more complex than it really is. Still impressive but the majority of their music isn’t THAT technical. Except ObZen.
6:17 and 7:00 Thats Parabol not Parabola
