MORE TOOL, AHAHA. Bro, "what did I get into?", the answer - the greatest music you'll ever hear.
Agree with you 1000% ......TOOL= MUSICAL GENIUS.
I love watching people realize, Tool. Lol. What's up my Tool Army brethren?
@@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP tool army
I'm in the toolshed myself, but get broken out, when there's work to do
The song is about a friend of the band who thought that being drunk gave him artistic strength. He's singing from the perspective of someone who justifies their own bodily harm by the use of alcohol.
One key takeaway I've learned over the years is many things may be what gave the initial inspiration to an idea, but not necessarily what the song is "about".
@@toodrunktotastethischicken What a song is about is what the point the artist is trying to get across is. We know that this song was about the guy I described because that is what Adam Jones claimed in an interview. The point of the song is "If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault".
The lyrics were written before Tool, for another band. I dont think Adam was playing guitar with Maynard at the time but I could be wrong and Adam could just know the story behind it anyways. Not sure. But I would probably only take Maynards word for it, and he's known to mess with us for fun so... whatever lol
@@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP Only the first verse was written for another song with Maynard's previous band. It's easily the most detached part of the song from the subject of alcohol and addiction, likely put into that context after the fact.
You, my friend, are hooked. Spiral out my brother.
If you liked this song, go check out their live performance of it at the Reading Festival. The lead singer, Maynard, does an amazing job of getting into character while performing. Great stuff!
For this track the bassist was Paul D'amour, and his heavier play style compared to Justin Chancellor (featured in The Pot) is most prevelent in this song. My take on this song has always been that his bass line is the drug in the system. While the guitar (Adam Jones) is the bodies reaction to the drugs,mainly mimicking a heart and the pulse. Notice how the guitar seems somewhat panicked by the bass at first before falling into a rhythm with it. They gel throughout the song with its ups and downs, their rhythms matching as the drug is being carried while the heart beats faster. There's the hearts panic as it begins to realise somethings wrong upon the peak of the rise before it tries to go with the flow again. Until the final few bars, like a failing heart beating its last few thumps before silence. Too late to just be sober. Orrrr I thought way too much into this as I did spend my teenage years smoking pot and listening to prog rock and metal like Tool!
Best take on a song I’ve ever heard
Okay, we’ll…that saved me a wake n bake interpretation. Thank you mucho…
Check out Forty Six & 2. That's one of my favorite Tool songs. You are going to enjoy the Tool rabbit hole.
46 & 2. Especially of you have a Hip Hop Appreciation. Tool’s beats/bass lines & lyricism is a great way to see aspects from entirely different genres.
Bro you have a superpower I always wish I had. You can just listen and read lyrics and start to understand what the song means and that's amazing.
You have good intuition and good instincts, kind of deep yourself Brother :-)
Keep it up!
This song is using the metaphor of addiction in relation to religion. It's about reliance on something that let's you down in the end. Great reaction man! looking forward to more.
Your comment about the lyric "I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down" was a beautiful analysis of vices and how they provide temporary joy at a steep cost to the person indulging. Mad respect for enjoying life Sober, keep the reactions coming!
Check out the live performance video of this, you can really see the way the singer embodies the struggle with addiction. Maynard almost becomes possessed by the music when he performs, it’s really incredible.
Bruh, Tool are legit one of the goats. A newbie should hear Schism and Pnuema, Invincible from their new album and go from there
Pnuema for sure.
Listen Pneuma, forty six and two, vicarious, lateralus, and schism in that order lmao
And once you're done with those Ænema
JoJo you're an intelligent insightful young man. You got the world in front of you. When you said you've never been drunk or stoned, as a dad you made my heart soar. Stay clean young man and use the intelligence to make a difference in the world. I pray you see in a world soon where you're seen not because of the color of your skin (though it should be in my opinion celebrated) but for that intelligence. Use it wisely and protect it because its all God actually gives all of us. Unfortunately many don't use it at all let alone wisely.
Get on Parabol/Parabola, Schism, Pnuema, Lateralus, 46 & 2, 7empest, Ticks & Leaches, Aenima, damn there's just too many to list bud. Bless this community. ;)
The start feels like the part of a movie where shit is about to go down. And then.... shit goes down! Into the depths of suffering. The beat always reminded me of an off beat heart monitor on someone who is trying to stay alive. Great choice and good job. Thank you.
Oh man this was the first song I heard by Tool back in the 90s. I was hooked since. Great band you have discovered.
I love that you utilized 'double-entendre'! Great job pops!
Hi Jojo, this song was the first one I heard from Tool - and I am addicted to their music since. Now - as I am about three times older than you - they are still one of my favourites. Your way of listening to good music and your immediate perception of the contents behind it : FULL RESPECT !!!! I have a funny (or weird ?) proposal.... I think I would pay a fiver for watching your reaction on 1990's FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM : "At The Gates Of Silent Memory".... 😄👍 Anyway - I will keep on watching your videos - just great !
Thank you for reacting to Tool. I vote Stinkfist next. Peace
Love this song maybe my favorite tool song keep this going Lil cuzz
I'd love for u to react to incubus like any of their songs check out. nice to know you. no cap
The live performance of this song is pretty phenomenal.
Absolute poetry, I've never read the lyrics before, just listened and watched the official video. I love me some tool. You should do a reaction to 46 & 2
Tool are a great band, thank you for our reaction
This is the first Tool song I ever heard (on Beaver and Butthead, lol, I'm in my 40's). It is a great song about addiction. I have felt exactly like he describes. I'm sober but my 'addict brain' or Shit Fairies, as I like to call them, tells me I need to use again because I need to numb out all of this reality and difficult emotional landscapes.
You are so on to it. He has another band called A Perfect Circle. 13th Step is a song called Pet and its literally as if the drug is speaking directly to you. H. from tool is also pretty powerful. Potions from Puscifer is heartbreakingly beautiful.
He didn’t say ‘why can’t we be sober’, he said ‘why can’t we not be sober’...
I think the song is not only showing the view of someone with an addiction. But also showing how he will fail to the ppl who believe in him that he can quit.
For a "fun" song by Tool... "Die Eier von Satan". It sounds like WWII propaganda, and the lyrics are about baking a cake. 😄
Space cake, und keine eier!
@@5thPhoenix The eggs from Satan. Eier can also mean testikel though.
Loved when I found that out
"Eine Messerspitze türkisches Haschisch"
A pinch (as much you can get on the point of knife) of turkish hashish.
Und keine Eier!
Dude, I'm loving your Reaction Video's. Keep em coming. I (and I'm sure many other's would agree) really love the fact that someone your age can listen to the tunes of my Geneeration, and understand the message behind the songs. For someone so young, you have a depth that most others don't.
Being that you're clearly a Hip Hop and Rap Dude, you should suss out Body Count - Ice-T doing Metal.
This band is the best at mystery lyrics bro!
Thanks for the reaction Jojo. Yeah it's true that Tool lyrics videos are hard to find since they released Fear Inocolumnand all their discography on multiple platforms. A lot of lyrics videos got deleted. For the next song on Tool journey I would suggest Vicarious, Aenema or Right In Two. Because those are kinda quite straight forward. 😉
I understand about the Sober line, but from a former alcoholic, that line is the most powerful because it calls out the thing that's hardest to face.
The whole song is about the duality of the addict. They want to be good, but they want that feeling of the high. "Why can we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over." They can't escape it. Either side of it. They feel trapped.. "I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down" is the addict wanting to love someone and make them better and making that person believe, but then the addiction doesn't go away and the person they love realizes that their loved one is doomed and they can't help them. Don't ask me how I know. This song holds a special, but bittersweet place in my heart.
The guitar player for Tool and Rage played in a high school band together.
Jojo, first video I've watched of you without your pops... so much more energy and life! Very good to see! You are very intelligent and have a lot to offer in your analysis of music and lyrics. Looking forward to watching more
I'm not gonna lie.....this song is a GOLD MINE of samples.....
One of my favs!
It took Tool three albums to hit it real big. They started getting a follow after their first album Opiate. That is an awesome album. Their second album Undertow, might be the best album to ever be made. Sober was the album Undertow. Sober was there biggest hit on that album.
{Maynard James Keenan and Danny Carey both were members of Green Jelly before forming Tool. Keenan sings the pig part on this song: "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin."}from google

D_A is reflecting the notes of the guitar power chord used in the song: D and A is a D Power chord.
Toolarmy 🔨❤️
Tool army, RISE!
Hey btw, considering your new found love for Tool. Have you reacted to Lateralus? Make sure you read up on the song development before you listen to the song. It'll blow you mind.
I'm not into the rap slang stuff but i think you have a decent channel. Lots of good tool songs to choose from.
This song was written about a friend of theirs. No one in the band. They were not drug addicts at all and when we hung out together we would drink sometimes and sometimes we wouldn’t.
Great video! I like your thoughtfulness - you'll need it down this particular rabbit hole! You'll get loads of suggestions for Tool songs, pretty much ALL of them, lol. My tuppence worth? Parabol/Parabola, Right in Two, Descending and Culling Voices.
Deep. Yes VERY deep.
TOOL, YAAASSS
Tool...Fucking Rocks!!!
Vicarious, Parabola you got to listen to those .
Bro, great reaction. You got it!
I was friends with a dj who was playing music at a venue, black guy, asked me to suggest a song the largely white crowd would like. This is what I suggested, he put it in his regular rotation. Lol
Hell yah. You might not know from experience but you did a great translation of the lyrics! Hope to see more.
Also check out the live version!
You got wide open eyes my young friend, don't stop listening to life!
"never been high, never been drunk, but i understand" no u don't bro. no u don't
Subbed for Tool!
It is about religion. Maynard Keenan (the lead singer) was in a Baptist church. He noticed hypocissy in the church.
It's about being sober from religion. Or, so I heard.
TOOLs SONG CALLED "SCHISM" IS THE NEXT TOOL SONG YOU MUST DO!!!
Right in two !!!
Tool’s songs are deep. Vicarious is another great one. Unless you did some research on this song beforehand, I’m WILDLY impressed by your analysis on this song. I’ve been a Tool fan for many many years, and I’ve watched dozens of reactions to this song by adults, and many of them don’t pick up on the “hints and riddles”. Well done my friend, keep it up! Also recommend Schism, Parabola, really just listen to 10,000 days (the album) 🤙🏻
Glad this kid does not drink and drug. I had to learn the hard way but been Sober for over a decade. As the song suggests, mind altering substances are a lie, especially for those with addictive genetics.
I take it as the Devil trying to lure people to hell . 💯
Bro tool is sick
the live performance of this is next level
It’s not about drugs, it about people.
I'd definitely recommend that you see the live version of this, and H performed at The Glass House. H sound different, but to my understanding the song was written as a father looking at his newborn son and trying to change.
It's based on the teaching of religion
These lyrics are actually something that makes me like and hate weed, cuz its perfect for celebrating or unwinding, but if your not doing anything with purpose, it makes you feel like shit... Which either becomes depression or motivation... The reason I sometimes hate it is because your trying to lift your spirit but then you get introspective... But now your high and not only do you not want to go and put that effort in, but for the moment it would be a bad idea lmao so it makes me sit there like, yeah I get it brain, I've been fucking up, but I'm not going to stop that while high at 10pm lmao so let me enjoy this now and tomorrow is a new day, but you can't outsmart yourself...
Enjoy Tool!
TOOL - H.W.A.P.
Not asking you to review it, but check out sober live in 92. Him, and the man with a guitar, are tripping balls on a whole thumb print of cid, cuz a wild mfer forgot he'd put a large amount of crystal acid in his whiskey bottle, and gave em each a pull😂😂.
One of the most celebrated screams in rock history
Edit: while the band themselves have definitely explored the world of substance, this song was written of a friend, another musician who would come hang, but couldn't put the bottle down.
You NEED to check out the live video from 93, Maynard is a f’ing artist painting the addiction on a live stage.
You must must must play 46 & 2.
Especially for the drum explosion 3/4 of the way into the song.
Back in the day when this came out, I thought he was talking about religion not drugs or alcohol. When his second band A Perfect Circle dropped the song "Judith" it strengthened my belief in that. Just a few years ago I learned it was obvious & straight forward; simply about addiction from the internet and was bummed. Not because I wanted it to be about religion; just because the lyrics weren't as artistic as I thought they were.
Well that’s the beauty of art, it’s not only about the authorial intent, but what you take away from it and your interpretation matters just as much, if not more
Its about the Apostles being too drunk to save Jesus after The Last Supper. They call it survival guilt, the speaker is dealing with the immense guilt he feels. Asking Jesus to whistle is to alert him of danger...look up stages of grief and follow lyrics. Or I am a moron and this song is about Koala Bears.
*Extremely Nice BOP in this one*
He is actually singing about Corutny Love, widow to Kurt cobain
Quit your bullshit
In complete honesty if this song messed with you DO NOT under ANY circumstances, watch the music video.
It will make your soul itch.
As far as I know, Maynard never had an addiction. But he's known people close to him that have.
I’m new to your channel and you have a very wide selection of very great songs but I didn’t see anything from Alice in Chains ? I think their song The Rooster would be a great addition to the very awesome list of songs you have reacted to.
Awesome vid bud and great read on the lyrics for a first time listen. Would love to see you do more Tool. They're a wicked trip. Check out "Forty Six & 2" by them. They don't have a bad song, so any Tool will do. Cheers!
this is good.
That was a pretty comprehensive list of things people use to self medicate. I think the only major one you overlooked was religion.
Careful in the rabbit hole brother.
If u see the love version tho it’s great
🤔
DUDE! Addiction doesn't always mean drugs or alcohol. Every Tool song is always open to interpretation. That's the point of thier music. That's why there is limited music videos or lyrics found. It's up to you to work it out
Maynard isn’t singing about his own addiction. The song is about a friend of the band. He isn’t singing about himself. You should watch the live version from 1993. They no longer play this song live, unfortunately.
Check out Maynard's other 2 bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Interesting stuff

This is about his friend who was an alcoholic.
Song sounds about depression to me. Which is why he wonders why he can't just be drunk or asleep for all of existence. The feeling of irreversible psychological anguish. Just wants a redo at life. Screams out to Jesus for help, but obviously gets no reply.
You need to listen to Pantera cemetery gates, this love, fucking hostile, and hollow.
Be careful - when listening - to Tool's music: you have to know - how to filter it.
I'm told the song is about a friend of the band that cannot be artistically productive without being under the influence.
You gotta experience Pnuema.
You are a smart fella! Your double entendre comment is spot on... what if this song is also about organized religion and the high it brings people before one of their holy leaders lets them down....
The song isn't about the person singing it. It's about another artist (addict) that the band knew.
