You guys asked for it and we delivered. Here is Rappers React to "The Pot" by Tool. Make sure to subscribe to the channel, hit the like button and leave us a comment. ruclips.net/video/Q4PWlnEOxEc/видео.html
You guys really need to listen to Pneuma and 7empest from the new album. Lol your reaction on Maynard's appearance. He liked to put on a great visual performance each show he does. Now he is silhouetted in the foreground. Letting the music take center stage. In his other 2 bands A Perfect Circle & Puscifer he takes center stage. I think his choice in Tool was personal on his performance. His voice resonates like another instrument.
Trash Talkers dudes what up. You’re awesome. Want the next song. This will blow your mind. There’s another vid I just can’t find it now. This one is good though. ruclips.net/video/Zm9odrHoUzU/видео.html Spiral out Keep Going 🤘
Ok I'm going WAY back. I'm starting at the start, I'm gonna go through and like and comment on every video. Queens of the Stone Age. If you're gonna go through each album, start with the first and hit Regular John or Avon or Mexicola.. then if not hit my favourite song.. probably top 5 of all time, Song for the Deaf. Chur boiiizz
omg yeah, I just watched their reaction to "feathers" by APC and they were praising him left and right and it's just funny to hear how their talking abt him now in this video lol
Haha. "He's playing a special ed character." Oh, man. Maynard is definitely not playing a "special ed" anything. The song was about a friend of the band who felt that he was only creative when he was high and/or drunk and how destructive he was to himself and everyone around him. If you watch the official video you'll notice a striking similarity between the lead "character" and how Maynard is performing. Good reaction, though. Cheers.
Thanks for the suggestion. We are just now about to start doing more reaction videos and we need all the feedback we can get...is there anything you would like to us react to and if you dont mind so us a solid by hitting that subscribe button.
@@Hollywood6IX suggestion? well, that should be obvious :D did you watch your own video? i mean, playing a song and friggin YT music at once just CANT'T be a good idea^^
The band members are Maynard James Keenan (vocals) Adam Jones (guitar) Danny Carey (drums) Paul D'Amour (former bassist until '95) Justin Chancellor (bassist from '95 to present)
Their guitarist is Adam Jones and he also worked with Stephen Spielberg and was the head sculpted for "terminator" "Jurassic Park" and came up with the "predator" Google it🤘
Yep he did the videos for prison sex, stink fist, aenima, schism, parabola, and vicarious. He has worked on a lot of stuff I actually got to meet him in Pittsburgh he is a good guy
@Eggchin X True but that is what it is. How else would a song called sober be interpreted other than an addiction of some kind? Withdrawal from something can be fairly broad and unique to individuals anyway
@Eggchin X yes there is. He is singing about his friend who couldn't do anything without being high/drunk, the song's meaning is also apparent by the title.
Yeah brooo. Sober overall . The are not many live recording perfomances with good audio sadly. I dream seeing them live. They doesn't visits south america yet 😭😭😭
I think the live versions have a bit more emotion vocally, and when you can see him. Most of the live versions arent any worse than the audios, I love Tool.
TOOL - Schism, Lateralus, The Grudge, The Pot, Vicarious, .... pick any song, they are all great! TOOL is one of, if not the best Rock Bands out there these days. TOOL is more Prog Rock or something between Prog Rock and Metal. Some will say, that there is no Genre for TOOL. When you love music, you will love TOOL. Let me say this, I love music and they have totally changed the way I listened to music before them. They ruined about 90% of other Rock Music for me, but opend the door to listen to bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. You guys rock! Greets from Germany!
First time I heard this song was back in 93' fucking changed my perception of music. 27yrs later, still setting the standard for vocal syncopated musical genius!
I thought I had watched all of your Tool reaction videos. Not sure how I missed your very first one however KEEP IT!!!! I think it was a great reaction for a first time hearing Tool especially a live cut. I'm glad you guys did the studio version today. It has been really fun watching you guys mature into Tool. I've been a fan since the beginning and it's refreshing to see people who just found it for the first time. Hey Hollywood........MOTHER MARY, WON'T YOU WHISTLE!!!! :)
The song's about the suffering of addiction and Tool's first album UNDERTOW is about addiction in all it's forms. Maynard's definitely doing "vulnerable" here....That's at least my interpretation. The other explanation is that early 90s Maynard was strung the fuck out of his head, hahah. Watch the early music videos...incredible animations that were surprise hits on MTV back in the days
Yeah we're just now learning about tool and we are slowly becoming fans...do u have any suggestions for our next reaction and also do us a solid and hit the subscribe button for us
Good reaction vid, but y'all are missing all sorts of details in the music when you talk over it. When it comes to Tool, the details matter, so pay a bit more attention and pause the song if you have a thought you wish to express, so you don't miss anything. Otherwise, excellent work, keep it up.
Hell yeah bro...thanks for the suggestion. Were trying to feed our fans and give you everything you want. If you don't mind do us a solid and hit that subscribe button thanks man have a good one
I 'scribed because of Tool. Look, seriously, this is probably one of the best bands ever. My personal favorite. Also one of the strongest fan bases you'll ever see. ToolArmy. Keep it up, you guys did a great job! Spiral Out!
Bonus comment: You could throw all of the Tool songs in a bucket and pull one out at random and react. THEY DO NOT HAVE A BAD SONG. Although there are many songs that need to be played together because they are designed that way, Notably: Parabala/Parabola & Wings For Marie Parts one and Two. Cheers!
Maynard ran cross country in high school, was in the military and practices martial arts, which helps him be able to sing like he does. They came out with a new album late last year ( the 1st in 13 yrs), called Fear Inoculum, the whole album is amazing. Check out the song Pneuma I think it will blow you away. The engineering and mixing is otherworldly and really need to be listened to with headphones. The song is unconventionally long but you will be disappointed that it isn't longer. The guitar player is Adam Jones, on bass at this time was Paul D'Amour who was later replaced by Justin Chancellor and on the drums the incomparable Danny Carrey. Most of their songs are technical marvels. Be back for more.🤘
its funny to come back and watch this over a year later. this is the opening of the rabbit hole. you guys cant even see the light of the opening anymore
Finally I'm seeing your intro to Tool. Love it and can see the progress you two have made on your journey. Thanks for starting this... you've created a family. ✌️ n ❤️
My God I'm so glad u guys changed yr approach to reactions. I had to scream at u guys for talking thru it n stopping b4 the drops!! I'd hv a heart attach if u keep that up!!! lol
No sir, we thank you for the suggestion and the comment...do us a big favor and subscribe to the channel. It would mean the world to us here at The Trash Talkers Studios
Holy crap guys. I finally dug thru your reactions to find this. Amazing how far you've come. I truly hope one day, you react to this video in the future and have a laugh.
Man this is great! Old heads reacting to TOOL for the first time is a treat. I like y'all's old head back-and-fourth dialog. Y'all sound like regular dudes, like dudes I know, just bullshittin' around. I'm a old head too, I like that Class of 99 dialog, that banter. Nah, y'all are cool, I liked and subscribed. I'm bout to be 40. We're old heads now, guys. But yeah it's time to face it, we're the old heads hanging out now. Yeah I like that old head talk, yeah y'all are like just regular ol' dudes enjoying Tool for the first time. Welcome to an amazing experience. Good luck i liked y'all's video
I just discovered you guys tonight, I think it was Big Bad Wolf by In This Moment. Then I caught Angry Chair. Then... Vicarious. I am a huge Tool fan, so I immediately went to your page and pulled up the videos list. I am so fucking happy to see that you christened this voyage with Sober by Tool. And followed up with The Pot? Waaat? I am now subbed. Love your vibe, you're interpretations, and your reactions as a whole. Keep up the great work, I'm moving on to The Pot!
Look hear... Bad Ass assessment Hollywood, Predicting Lyrics on first listen!! Great Job... Extra, since I wasn't hear with Yall, when Yall started Yall's Tool/MJK journey, hearing Yall say "Yall may've introduced 13:07 Us to something that Changes Our Lives"... That's just Extra Awesome to ne now!! LOVE YALL BOTH!!!!!
Tool is the best and most unique and talented bands of all time. I met Slash, Eddie money, Scott Weiland, etc. because my boyfriend plays all these shows. But I never met Maynard or anyone from Tool but I LOVE THEM
Great honest reaction. As J.P. said. Do The Pot by TOOL. Groovy and great lyrics ! Use a lyric video. Very important with TOOL-songs. Curios what you think of them as rappers. After that song : go to Rage against the Machine 🤘 I subbed 😉
Okay cool do you have any suggestions on what you might like us to react to next we're trying to connect with our fans and make this channel grow please do us a solid and hit that subscribe button and let us know what you might be interested in next thank you
He played the part of the person the song is about: a friend who thinks they cant create good art while sober. He took his friend's idea of what its like to be sober and embodied it in his own posture. A singer's posture is crucial to their vocals, but Maynard showed that art is stronger. Thats his message to his friend. You can do it.
I'm sure it's been commented before, but Maynard doesn't exactly like being front and center. In this performance he's laser focused and just in the zone. He's not really playing a gimmick or anything, just in like a trance - kind of letting the music just flow. This is obviously a big part of tools thing, and mostly you'll find maynard in the background of the stage and not in the front.
Guys, the song is called "Sober." Maynard is wearing a onesie. He's acting like a strung-out junkie. Hence the cramped stance, the shakes, and near the end, he scratches the itch from withdrawal.
Finally. You said it Larry. I’ve watched many reactioners do this song and they all miss the passion and stage performance that totally makes this song and video
Awww dang. Not me falling in love with baby Smokey, misguided as he may have been about the genius of Tool. Every aspect of Tool. Thank god you guys learned. Because my social anxiety and autism want to be angry at you. But I can't argue with how open minded and fun fact filled this channel is.
Been watching you guys for a little while now and I had to go check the very first video. In a couple months, you guys have come to appreciate the art in other genres of music.
HA! and now I can say, welcome the sound that is TooL. We the army understand it takes a minute to appreciate. We will wait, we will welcome you and we will Love you. Welcome. Enjoy the spiral within.
Cool vid guys! Someone has probably already commented this, but Maynard is also lead singer of 'A Perfect Circle' and 'Puscifer'. Some different directions in his artistic approach, but all great music that makes you think.
Oh guys, I genuinely apologize (especially as a brand-new subscriber & rare comment-dropper ?! lofl!)... However, as the daughter of 2 college professors (1 astrophysics, 1 linguistics; f#$@ me), is the gentleman on my left named Larry Smokey Ramirez Cowen (spelling?)... that is in no way meant as any kind of insult or racial slur... to prove I mean that, my (2nd) husbands' oldest son, whom I love dearly, is named Dembe Koialani Poitier VanAllen, to acknowledge his multicultural heritage. Luv yr Tool reactions so far, guys!! 😘🤗😁
I was 12 in 93 when I first saw the original film clip at about 2am on a Sunday morning watching RAGE in the dark so I wouldnt wake my parents. It was horrifying. I loved it.
Whait what would be the point of doing a reaction video if they did not react? If you want to watch the video then go watch the video. I think they gave an honest reaction and you're just being a hater
@@Smokinlikeamufucka well he has a point AJ.... were fairly new to the band and want to give an honest reaction when we see it. but thanks for having our back, were actually in the process of doing another one right now, how you been.
I saw them live at lollapalooza in Dallas, I believe in 96!!!! BEST performance EVER.....He not only hunched over but he also leans way back etc. CHECK OUT HIS LIFE STORY.
Tell me more about this band where are they from and what's their music like by the way we are about to record a new reaction to a new tool song any recommendations on a song we should react to
Trash Talkers ooh wonderful to hear! 🙏 Like people have suggested I think ”the Pot” would be a good next song, it is one of their catchiest songs. Make sure to just react to the audio though - there’s a fan made music video with a lot of views that often confuses the reactors. :) Heilung is a band with members from Norway, Germany and Denmark. They play a sort of spiritual ”viking/pagan” folk music which has become a pretty big genre now thanks to the norwegian band Wardruna. Magical, primal and powerful. :)
@@nilsbossiusklintenberg3623 we are thinking about reacting to the live version of the song pot like we did for the live version of sober, what are your thoughts.
I got into your Tool reactions a little late so going back and watching your first reaction is incredible compared to the intensity of how you react now! You guys have truly become soldiers in the Tool army 🤘🏼
The crowd was looking like that because this was the early days of Tool and for many, their first time experiencing and hearing a new band, Tool live, and with the offsetting wrenching sound, with Maynard's singing and performance, the crowd was in shock, and were like, "what the... ? Who the hell is this?".
Let’s hear you guys react to “Iron maiden- Hallowed be thy name” live Always a good start. “Judas Priest- Victim of changes” live “Sonata Arctica-Wolf and raven” or “full moon” “Operus- Fate’s Pantomime”

You guys need to start reacting to classic metal bands like Metallica,Megadeth,Slayer,Iron Maiden,

Hooker with a Penis is the BEST diss track EVAH!!!
It is HILARIOUS how different your first impression of Maynard is completely opposite of how you view him now
omg yeah, I just watched their reaction to "feathers" by APC and they were praising him left and right and it's just funny to hear how their talking abt him now in this video lol
@@Kai83105 right ?? Lol
Haha. "He's playing a special ed character." Oh, man. Maynard is definitely not playing a "special ed" anything.

I figured someone else had to say something about that
King Brutus XXVI so funny to come back to this first intro for these guys. Special ed character ❤️😀
I'm pretty sure the song was about himself, but I could be wrong.
@@exodius6977you are correct.
take off the background music when showcasing the song you're reacting to.
Thanks for the suggestion. We are just now about to start doing more reaction videos and we need all the feedback we can get...is there anything you would like to us react to and if you dont mind so us a solid by hitting that subscribe button.
@@Hollywood6IX sure, The Mars Volta - Goliath, they are american with mexican origins
@@filthyshadesofnothing6681 hell yeah bro...i love mara Volta...the widow is one of my fav songs
Yeah, background music is too distracting. 😉
@@Hollywood6IX suggestion? well, that should be obvious :D
did you watch your own video? i mean, playing a song and friggin YT music at once just CANT'T be a good idea^^
Gentlemen, the genre is "Tool", you cannot put them in any other classification.
The band members are
Maynard James Keenan (vocals)
Adam Jones (guitar)
Danny Carey (drums)
Paul D'Amour (former bassist until '95)
Justin Chancellor (bassist from '95 to present)
This is a powerful song about addiction. While I was in my addiction I would cry when I heard this song.
Song is about addiction. And, it's extremely hard to sing bent over like that.
It's really not it actually helps a lot to hit the range he is hitting Maynard has talked about this in the past
I think he's beautiful. Extremely talented musician and this is a very moving performance.
maynard actually has really bad stage anxiety as he mentioned on the JRE podcast
Their guitarist is Adam Jones and he also worked with Stephen Spielberg and was the head sculpted for "terminator" "Jurassic Park" and came up with the "predator" Google it🤘
Yep he did the videos for prison sex, stink fist, aenima, schism, parabola, and vicarious. He has worked on a lot of stuff I actually got to meet him in Pittsburgh he is a good guy
He’s playing the part of an addict, going through withdrawals.
He gets very into the songs he sings. Its unparalleled.
@Eggchin X True but that is what it is. How else would a song called sober be interpreted other than an addiction of some kind? Withdrawal from something can be fairly broad and unique to individuals anyway
@Eggchin X yes there is. He is singing about his friend who couldn't do anything without being high/drunk, the song's meaning is also apparent by the title.
He performed this way for many songs. It's part of his stage anxiety.
I always felt he was playing Alcoholism personified...if alcohol was human..
Studio version is not different from the live version that’s what’s amazing about this band, the live versions are better in my opinion
Yeah brooo. Sober overall . The are not many live recording perfomances with good audio sadly. I dream seeing them live. They doesn't visits south america yet 😭😭😭
Well technically the lyrics are different.
I think the live versions have a bit more emotion vocally, and when you can see him. Most of the live versions arent any worse than the audios, I love Tool.
Everytime I hear 46×2, I hear the crowd erupting after the last note. This is the only version I hear in my head.
I like the live version better tbh
He is in it!!
And, (so I've heard) the crowd was mesmerized,
It was a performance to be appreciated and felt...
TOOL - Schism, Lateralus, The Grudge, The Pot, Vicarious, .... pick any song, they are all great! TOOL is one of, if not the best Rock Bands out there these days.

First time I heard this song was back in 93' fucking changed my perception of music. 27yrs later, still setting the standard for vocal syncopated musical genius!
There is no “GIMMICK!!!”
He’s not playing a special Ed character he’s playing an addict
Dont judge him fir his past. He's one of the best artists of all time. Hes sober now.
Watching this after watching some of yalls later videos after you've become huge fans is cracking me up. Good on you guys!
I thought I had watched all of your Tool reaction videos. Not sure how I missed your very first one however KEEP IT!!!! I think it was a great reaction for a first time hearing Tool especially a live cut.
I'm glad you guys did the studio version today.
It has been really fun watching you guys mature into Tool. I've been a fan since the beginning and it's refreshing to see people who just found it for the first time.
Hey Hollywood........MOTHER MARY, WON'T YOU WHISTLE!!!! :)
The song's about the suffering of addiction and Tool's first album UNDERTOW is about addiction in all it's forms. Maynard's definitely doing "vulnerable" here....That's at least my interpretation. The other explanation is that early 90s Maynard was strung the fuck out of his head, hahah. Watch the early music videos...incredible animations that were surprise hits on MTV back in the days

It's hard to walk a fine line between reacting and talking over the song. These guys failed
Check out The Pot by TOOL. Killer bass groove and awesome vocals that’ll get your head swingin

Bonus comment: You could throw all of the Tool songs in a bucket and pull one out at random and react. THEY DO NOT HAVE A BAD SONG. Although there are many songs that need to be played together because they are designed that way, Notably: Parabala/Parabola & Wings For Marie Parts one and Two. Cheers!
Maynard ran cross country in high school, was in the military and practices martial arts, which helps him be able to sing like he does. They came out with a new album late last year ( the 1st in 13 yrs), called Fear Inoculum, the whole album is amazing. Check out the song Pneuma I think it will blow you away. The engineering and mixing is otherworldly and really need to be listened to with headphones. The song is unconventionally long but you will be disappointed that it isn't longer. The guitar player is Adam Jones, on bass at this time was Paul D'Amour who was later replaced by Justin Chancellor and on the drums the incomparable Danny Carrey. Most of their songs are technical marvels. Be back for more.🤘

Give that drummer some creds...he is amazing

He took his friend's idea of what its like to be sober and embodied it in his own posture. A singer's posture is crucial to their vocals, but Maynard showed that art is stronger. Thats his message to his friend. You can do it.
Maynard is not “portraying” anything. This is him.
In their early days he did. Today he does a variation of his oddness. ( you don’t move or dance the same your whole life. )
ruclips.net/video/42TwnPXbnLE/видео.html
I can't believe you guys haven't done The Grudge yet! Looking forward to it!
Remember, remember. Your first Tool reaction :)

Bruh you get it. You fing get it. Its the artistry, a different level to get.
Jesus wants to fuckin whistle, is the real line
just social anxiety.
Been watching you guys for a little while now and I had to go check the very first video. In a couple months, you guys have come to appreciate the art in other genres of music.
You guys were so young and innocent then...pre-rabbit hole...hope you guys are well.
Maynard is a musical genius. He just happened to be around the best band ever.
HA! and now I can say, welcome the sound that is TooL. We the army understand it takes a minute to appreciate. We will wait, we will welcome you and we will Love you. Welcome. Enjoy the spiral within.
Maynard dresses up a lot when doing live performances, especially in early-day Tool and his "solo" band Puscifer.
Cool vid guys! Someone has probably already commented this, but Maynard is also lead singer of 'A Perfect Circle' and 'Puscifer'. Some different directions in his artistic approach, but all great music that makes you think.
Something fun to pass the time. Lol. That's bad ass
The crowd in the later Tool tours is much more diversified.
Was this the video that started it all? I love it.
I get goosebumps to the song also this live performance is epic
Oh guys, I genuinely apologize (especially as a brand-new subscriber & rare comment-dropper ?! lofl!)...

Luv yr Tool reactions so far, guys!! 😘🤗😁
it’s a progressive rock band
Maybe even prog metal? It feels different from Yes and Rush.
@@ZVYW nope not at all actually
I was 12 in 93 when I first saw the original film clip at about 2am on a Sunday morning watching RAGE in the dark so I wouldnt wake my parents. It was horrifying. I loved it.
Gotta have that dopamine before bed.
Adam Jones the guitarist is well known for special effects in movies such as terminator 2, ghostbusters 2, Jurassic park....
Do it and quit talking. More tool is all we want
Whait what would be the point of doing a reaction video if they did not react? If you want to watch the video then go watch the video. I think they gave an honest reaction and you're just being a hater
@@Smokinlikeamufucka well he has a point AJ.... were fairly new to the band and want to give an honest reaction when we see it. but thanks for having our back, were actually in the process of doing another one right now, how you been.
here ya go, Rappers React to "The Pot" by Tool ruclips.net/video/Q4PWlnEOxEc/видео.html
He’s embodying an addict and the frantic desperate nature of addiction.
I saw them live at lollapalooza in Dallas, I believe in 96!!!! BEST performance EVER.....He not only hunched over but he also leans way back etc.
CHECK OUT HIS LIFE STORY.
Subbed! Allways want to see more Tool reactions. :)
Would also be cool to see you react to ”Norupo” by the band Heilung!!!
Tell me more about this band where are they from and what's their music like by the way we are about to record a new reaction to a new tool song any recommendations on a song we should react to
Trash Talkers ooh wonderful to hear! 🙏 Like people have suggested I think ”the Pot” would be a good next song, it is one of their catchiest songs. Make sure to just react to the audio though - there’s a fan made music video with a lot of views that often confuses the reactors. :)
Heilung is a band with members from Norway, Germany and Denmark. They play a sort of spiritual ”viking/pagan” folk music which has become a pretty big genre now thanks to the norwegian band Wardruna. Magical, primal and powerful. :)
@@nilsbossiusklintenberg3623 we are thinking about reacting to the live version of the song pot like we did for the live version of sober, what are your thoughts.
Maynard is the character; the guy on stage is him
This is great! So if you don’t know now you know ya know!
I got into your Tool reactions a little late so going back and watching your first reaction is incredible compared to the intensity of how you react now! You guys have truly become soldiers in the Tool army 🤘🏼
aaah yes! the beginning of two genre-distant guys getting slowly assimilated into fucking metalheads!!!
Vicariously? 😃
Just listened to The Patient in-between ur video, and its a disgrace u havent done it, their most epic song!
Enjoyed your reactions. Good job guys.
The crowd was looking like that because this was the early days of Tool and for many, their first time experiencing and hearing a new band, Tool live, and with the offsetting wrenching sound, with Maynard's singing and performance, the crowd was in shock, and were like, "what the... ? Who the hell is this?".
Let’s hear you guys react to “Iron maiden- Hallowed be thy name” live
Always a good start.
“Judas Priest- Victim of changes” live
“Sonata Arctica-Wolf and raven” or “full moon”
“Operus- Fate’s Pantomime”
Great reaction 😁👍 You guys should do Tool's "The Pot" next!
Thanks for the recommendation...we actually might..do us a solid and make sure to subscribe to the channel..thanks bro
@@Hollywood6IX No prob. Subbed! 😁

When I first saw a picture of Maynard I thought it was Steve from Blue's Clues LOL
When It all began
Tool has been around since the early 90's and still going. This was their first big single off of their first LP
I subscribed because rappers are reacting to rock music
sober was their biggest song, so more than likely the last song they did
Love that your reacting to T00L. ❤️
above and beyond
keep this one
Love watching reactors getting their Tool cherry popped 😜 Excited to watch the rest of them.
YES!!!!!
Best recorded version of Sober ever!!!!!!!!
Voice volume level - 10 Music volume level - 1
You called the Zep sample, nice. Subscribed.
With this music you don’t care how people act or look. It’s not about the Rolex and Versace shoes. Meynard is just being Meynard who cares.
Lol Little did they know......
Maynard is the epitome of genius 🖤🙏
Oooweeeeee batman, we way back now!
