Hope you guys had a great weekend! Know you guys were expecting Parabol/Parabola as the next Tool video but it was time Alex heard The Pot! Parabola is coming soon though don’t worry! Let us know your interpretations of The Pot down below ⬇️! Have a great day guys! 😁🔥🤟🏻
Great vid, great song, great band. How about "Unknown Soldier" by Weather Report from "I Sing The Body Electric" and staying on the theme of literature, King Crimson's "Starless & Bible Black" a reference to Dylan Thomas. Camus, great.
Maaaan, y'all are sleeping on PARABOLA but The Pot is still🔥🔥🔥...LOL Y'all need to react to some CHEVELLE...👍👊😎
Liar, lawyer, mirror- show me what’s the difference? Who are you to wave your fatty finger at me, fucking hypocrite. Kangaroo (court) done hung the guilty with the innocent. My interpretation is that Maynard was sick sick sick of hypocritical authority figures/lying governments and the unjust “justice” system. You know-the usual. 😉
Andy & Alex Pssst-this is a fan-made video that uses animation from 1966 backing the song.
Please react to "NEVER TEAR US APART" by INXS. Thanks
Has he had a taste of Vicarious yet. Deep meaning
"Weeping shades of cozened indigo" refers to people shedding fake tears. The songs general theme is hypocrisy. Great Vid!
I’m an old dude...I was 16 in 1969...never heard Tool...Best new music I’ve listened too in a long time...who has my face? What the hell! Give it back!
I remember back when The Pot was "The new song"
I absolutely love seeing younger people indulging in the Tool experience. Well articulated and put together thoughts and expressions by these two. The best band of my generation by far without debate. Thx
in 200 years theyll be talking about metallica.... but theyll be listening to tool
Stealing that line. Thanks.. Ha.
The way tool writes music amazes me the band records all parts before letting Maynard (the singer) even writes a word. He listens to the song instrumentals then writes the lyrics to the song
It's not uncommon to write songs like that though.
from what I understand they go drums > guitar > bass > vocals
BeforeReform I think Danny Carey has said that ideas for the music come from all 3 of them but he is the only one with the musical knowledge to arrange everything. You can hear it in their songs too. For example, Jambi sounds like its musical idea came from Adam and Ticks and Leeches was obviously composed around the drum beat...
Parabol + Parabola is still my favorite song, since I first heard it like 15 years ago, and I can't wait to see you two react to it. Hope it's soon.
That video is not official, it's just some fan's edit.
Lionel Messi it’s an old French indie film
There's a couple of those out there for Tool songs that don't have official videos. I saw a really disturbing one set to Right In Two.
I found it annoying and distracting. Mostly because it was a first time reaction for someone. To associate it with the song leaves a warp first perception.
I know that people think it's weird how MJK sounded different on this song than most others. That's part of what made me like The Pot in the first place.
That higher pitched tone combined with the heavy as hell bass, crunchy minimalistic main riff and tribal drums in the intro always gave the song a hypnotic eerieness to it that made it stand out from some other songs in their discography.
One of my favorite go fast driving songs.... I only got into Tool about 5 years ago and they have since become one of my favorite bands.
1:04 when the bass line melts your brain for a moment
Lost keys/ Rosetta Stoned is a masterpiece due to its complexity, I mean... If you want a hell of an experience... With aliens and dmt haha
Ubiquinoxx Rosiles DMT is some fucking next level shit
the pot calling the kettle black
: A phrase used to convey that the criticisms a person is aiming at someone else could equally well apply to themselves.
Do Rosetta Stoned youre ready for it, their best song in my opinion.
One of my favourite Tool songs. When that bass first kicks in at the start... yaaaaaaassss. New subscriber here, loving your reactions 👋
Love this. That bassline gets me every time it comes back in. Such a jam
Hi guys another great reaction and great video love this track Pot by Tool awesome vocals the guitars and drums are amazing.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Right in two! WITH VIDEO! SO IMPORTANT!
imo better without the video as there's no official one for "Right in Two" and those fan-made are just distracting for first-time listeners.
Negatron on the "with video". Lyric vids only, always. There's a good reason everybody keeps saying that. Nobody wants to see a review of fan-made art that detracts from the listener's attention, compromising the full, pure Tool, audio experience.
you can see the polyrhythm in their heads 1:14
One is following the bass, the other is following the drums. And it's priceless to watch. Thanks for awakening me. :D
5:52
I enjoy watching their heads go from still to bobbing in 1/8T to a steady 1/4 respect bob
I like your reactions.
I need to point out that this isnt official or fan made. The video wasnt made for the song, it is a french short called "Les Escargots" (The snails) by René Laloux. There is also a video for Forty Six & 2 that is a clip from the movie El laberinto de Fauno by Guillermo del Toro. They got a ton of views though
@Gar Ciaff
Yeah I knew it wasn’t official or anything but I’d seen it a couple times before and felt it fits pretty good and that it wouldn’t hinder Alex’s experience any, and yeah the 46 and 2 vid I don’t think fits (in terms of the general meaning) too well, I think lyric videos are generally the way to go when showing people Tool in the end. Haha. Thanks for the info about the video though I did not know those specifics! 😁
I never paid much attention to interpret this Tool song mainly because I haven't read the lyrics but I liked Andy's interpretation. Great job brother... Y'all are going to enjoy interpreting Chevelle...🔺🔺🔺
Liked the changing rhythms and watching Alex really get into that. BTW, tears of sadness are biochemically different than tears created by cutting onions. Love that Alex reads Camus. Indigo is an interesting color (ROYGBIV, you know), ah, gotta love the whole electromagnetic spectrum.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
For me, this song just deals with general hypocrisy and the oppression from those with power. Of course it's easy to peg it to be specifically talking about the war on drugs, given all the references to being high. In that context you can look at it as old people who did drugs in their youth are now imprisoning young people who do it now. There's also alot of discussion about the legal system and how corrupt it is, and even a little dig at the government at the end there.
One thing most people don't understand is why he constantly talks about the 'kangaroo'. It's a reference to 'kangaroo courts', which are nothing more than a show trial where the outcome is predetermined, almost exclusively to the damning of the prosecuted.
darkchiron yes
It’s about his friend who got busted with a joint in Arizona and was sentenced by the judge who gave the hardest sentencing for cannibis possession who was one month later caught with heroin and prostitutes. It’s about the judges hypocrisy.
Its one of Tool's best tracks imo, absolute masterpiece!
With Tool there are always layers of complexity: musically, lyrically and with the video, visually.
Some people can't see it because they won't see it but this is art.
The more perceptive and open you are, the more it will enrich you.
🤣🤣🤣 the reactions are epically funny! I wonder if I had these facial reactions when I was younger! Yes, Yes I did! 🤗😈
Tool Disposition-Reflection-Triad you must do all three back to back they go with one another
For the full Tool experience, see them live. You won’t regret it. The light/video show will blow you away. Bought my first Tool album in 1993 because Maynard’s voice was so intriguing and the bass hit hard. Been a fan ever since and can’t pass up a show. Great job guys. Keep up exploring great music!
30 seconds in, and you could tell his mind was blown lol
Great choice Andy! I hadn’t heard this song in a long time, and had forgotten how lyrically impactful this song was. I think I just listened to it five times in succession!
@Scott Baker
Haha glad you got back on it, it’s a great track!!
Grateful dead - Birdsong live 08/27/72!
Their inginuity of musical arrangement and execution is on an entirely singular plateau.
Tool is one of the few bands that make 4/4 feel like an odd time lol. The accents on the "a" of 4 (4e+A) give this such a unique feel.
Haha....love the expression on his face when his mind got blown.
Young guys keeping the torch burning. It's total fucking mind melter music.
For those who don't know the animation playing with the song is
"Les Escargot", 1966, by Rene Leloux.
Love your guys Tool reactions. Gives me hope for the future.
It’s time to get deep with TOOL, guys.
Third eye
and
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned (Read lyrics before hand to this song, after reading I would play the song without the lyrics just to admire the genius.) This song took me a couple of times to digest how great it is but it’s ultimately my favorite piece of art.
(Sorry for the comment spam, you guys ever end up seeing them 🤣)
@Morgan Westbrook
We will don’t worry!! 😁🔥
Seen Tool 4 times. It’s never enough
Tool the flood if you want one of their heavier tunes.Recommend it highly.
Yesss one of my favorite songs!!
From lyrics to dirty basslines its got it all.
Your guys are sick 🤘🏼 love the content! I like your interpretation of the lyrics, it mainly refers to Kangaroo courts (where the verdict is predetermined basically) but that’s what I love about Tool, you can have so many personal interpretations, that very from what Maynard is referring too and it can make sense. Great vid!
That fuckin “NOOOOOOOOOW” is just one of the best things I’ve ever heard in my life. I hope it’s part of what flashed before my eyes (ears) right before I die.
One of the best vocal intro songs ...and that bass lick tho...!!...YEEEET...!!...
I’ve been watching you guys for almost a year a didn’t know you reacted to this. Dope
Hey. You fellas do a good job with these Tool reviews. Keep me around after the song is through. Respect, keep it up and cheers.
Been too busy for youtube last few weeks, I come back to this 🤘🤘🤘
Great reaction, as always.
@SatanDynastyKiller
Haha hell yeah man 😁🤟🏻🔥🔥
Great, really enjoyed it, thanks Andy 😘
I was close to your age, the first time I heard Tool's first ep. They hadn't quite hit it big yet.
We were all jamming Beastie Boys and Nirvana in those days. It was completely innovative and heavy and emotional.
Can't believe it's been so long, and it speaks to people in such a personal level, and it's almost like a moment of illumination to experience this music.
Recently got hooked on your videos guys, keep it up! Loving the Tool heavy reviews, surely Vicarious, Parabol/Parabola, Right in Two and Rosetta Stoned next right?
@Thomas Davies
Thanks friend! And I’m sure we’ll hit all the Tool songs you have us check out!
This isn't an official video guys but that dont matter. The tune is where it's at.
John Young its the Official Unofficial Video at this point haha
I think I like Tool better when I don't have to watch them. This one made me want to delve into the lyrics. Great reaction guys! Keep up the good work.
@Missy Frye
The lyrics to this track are really good, and that makes sense! Glad they’re growing on you a little 😚
Andy & Alex I’m not ready to make a commitment to them yet but will not snub them in a social setting. For now. 😏
@Missy Frye
For nowwwwww 😉
Andy & Alex Their egos are hard for me to brush aside. 🙃
I’m glad I can still watch this video somewhere.
"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now to mock your own grinning? Quite chapfallen?"
If you guys want to hear super heavy old school tool listen to Tool - Jerk Off.
The riddles you speak of "the pot" is a reference to "the pot calling the kettle black" he then talks about pissing on his black kettle. He references the " Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent" that's a reference to a kangaroo court. "A soapbox house of cards and glass so dont go throwing your stones around"
It's about Hipocracy he even says it in the song. No arguement about it.
Andy I love your enthusiasm at the beginning. And I love how intense Alex face is watching this. And I absolutely love y’all being philosophical as shit. Lol. I love themes and deep meanings. It’s why I love music, lyrics, and poetry. I love going deep into meanings. Deep thoughts with Andy and Alex. ❤️
*Alex’s face (correcting my own grammar mistake). As a teacher, I can’t have bad grammar. I’m such a nerd.
@Tara Colwart
Haha no worries Tara! Glad you enjoyed the vid!! Was a really fun one to record! This song definitely slaps! Hope you’re having a great day!! 😁
Thanks guys! The Pot one of my favorites!
You gotta do Jambi next, or Jimmy, or literally any other Tool song lol
Hey guys I hope you're aware The Pot doesn't really have an official video by Tool. This video is just a short french film from the 60s some random user uploaded. It does work well with the song though. Keep it up!
@mashakos
We are! Did not know where it came from though so thanks friend! 😁
Jerk off or ticks and leaches is tools heaviest song and both have Crazy screams in them jerk off has maynard's highest note in the final scream of the song
Awesome....thumbs up first preview second...much love guys....keep spiraling....
That bass/drum groove and the guitar are just monster. Great vocals as always. Nice reactions; do we get a cover of this at 20K subs?
@Dave Thompson
LOL! Uhhhh....! I could probably learn the Bass part in a couple weeks, Alex or I could learn the guitar with time, now..the drums and vocals...? If we bring it down like an octave and reduce the distortion maybe..? But I think it’d be best to leave it to Tool. Hahaha. Cheers friend! 😁🔥
@@andyandalex Yeah, this would be a tough song to cover, and given you'll likely hit 20K before too long, you'd run out of time anyway!
@Dave Thompson
Yeah we have no idea what we’re gonna do for 20k, we were thinking another Drunk reaction where we pick like 5 songs and go at it. We were relatively coherent during the last one! Lol!
Love your reactions as yer listening 🤘 brilliant, tool rule
My favorite Tool song, but wish you’d done the lyrics video! Cheers!
@sarahzentexas
I’ll usually have us only with the lyric vid for Tool songs, but I let this one slip though just because Alex likes figurative/metaphorical vids
Okay guys. I acquiesced and went waaay out of my comfort zone, as you are doing. Loved it! I am more with Alex on rating... The musicianship...Amazing! Wth is that beat? Arrhythmic syncopation or something? It felt like I was feeling a heart fibrillating at times. Omg. Lyrics are a lot to upack (kind of like Rush, Free Will). Thanks for the nudge into the different! lol :)
@Lisa W
That’s awesome friend! Cheers to exploring different genres of music! 🔥😁
@@andyandalex Enjoyed it, as I had never heard of Tool (saw name, but...). Still trying to figure out wth I experienced! Every speaker in system fully engaged w/ some different beat/rhythm... An attack on the senses...lol! Have a good one guys. :)
You guys are dope as hell and this is my favorite jam band of all time
Best song ever to be created in my opinion
Legend has it his mouth is still open to this day
I never really tried to interpret these lyrics cause I just groove and enjoy the vocals
@Samuel Wallace
The groove is pretty real, respect that 🔥
You guys were genuinely into this. Loved your reaction and discussion about meaning.
Haha old mate on the right is like WTF and then old mate on the left is like this is awesomeee
@Daniel Gray
Hahahaha 😁
"Foot in mouth and head up asshole watch chu talking bout?" Ha great line, love this song.
You guys have to check out Lost Keys/Blame Hoffman & Rosetta Stoned!
To me, lyrically, Maynard is as if Neil Peart were less of a dreamer and more of a cynic. They both write so well, and I've always viewed them as two personalities of the same consciousness.
What the hell, this is beautifully put
@@toothpastehombre Well, thank you.
Great comment....my two favorite bands.
@@mikemargheret3174 Same here!
Yo I fucking love watching you guys . Such genuine reactions 🙌🏻
It might be time for you guys to understand TOOL and thereby Maynard and his childhood. Check out Jimmy, 10,000 days or another one of Maynards bands A Perfect Circle.... react to the Judith official video.
Love that if someone knows it and someone doesn’t, that the one that does doesn’t try to be like...see how bad ass that was every 10 seconds. Dope
There is no bad Tool song!!!! My favorite band!
Go and listen to "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van der Graaf Generator. Now! Or even better, listen to the whole album "Pawn Hearts", of which "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" is the longest track track at 23:05. None of the three tracks is below the 10-minute mark though, with "Lemmings" being 11:40 and "Man-Erg" being 10:20 long. You will find the album here: ruclips.net/video/sOIrGNddjMQ/видео.html
Van der Graaf Generator are a band that are not as well known as other artists because they never made any compromises and are therefore often not easy to listen to. But they are highly respected among fellow musicians. The late David Bowie, for example, was a great fan of them. Other musician fans include Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Fish of Marillion, John Lydon alias Johnny Rotten of the first ever punk band The Sex Pistols and of Published Image Ltd., Julian Cope of The Teardrop Explodes and Robert Fripp of King Crimson, to name but a few. In his autobiography Robert Fripp said about Peter Hammill, the singer of Van der Graaf Generator: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar Peter Hammill did for the voice".
Van der Graaf Generator are well known to switch between quiet and lyrical passages to absolute noise and instrumental freakout, sometimes quite suddenly. This is especially so on "Pawn Hearts", their most experimental album (and one of the most experimental ones in rock history). Strangely enough the album was number one in the Italian album charts for 12 consecutive weeks when it came out in 1971 (shortly before Pink Floyd's "Meddle"). If you think "Echoes" was an ear opener "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" will be even more so.
It may very well be though that you don't like "Pawn Hearts" at all on first listening; the album's many abrupt changes of dynamics and tempo are certainly challenging, and when they freak out they really freak out. But give the album a chance and listen to it several times. Once it makes "click" with you you will consider it to be one of the very best albums ever.
I like "The Pot" very much, but i love Parabola 😊 so i can't wait.
I want to ask you guys are you going to do Deep Purple "Burn" from California Jam? You once promised to do it. I waited patienly for many months... so please... i kindly ask you for it once again 🙏
@azja 666
I’d probably want us to do the studio version since I don’t think we’ve heard that one and that’s usually the way to do it, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve done deep purple too
Andy & Alex no, please, no, you should do live version, i understand what you try to tell me, but in this time you are wrong. California Jam is something special, way better than album version. And believe me, you must to SEE this, not only hear. I'm going to cry now... Please, you break my hearth! Album version is good but nothing like this live version. I would like to convice you so much but i don't know how.......😭
You don't simply listen to Tool, you experience it!
ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SONG FROM TOOL 🤘🏻
Loved seeing your excitement 🔥🔥😁😁
YOU HAVE THE SNAIL VIDEO!!
Oh how I've missed it
This is the soundtrack of my life up to this point!
I’m seeing a lot of suggestions for Parabol+Parabola here. I concur! DEFINITELY do the music video for that one! For one thing, there’s an actual official video for those songs and it’s incredible.
So beautiful... I cried
Some suggestions: watch the whole Lateralus album video with lyrics. So much message inside. You can rethink the whole life while listening. And that's the reason Tool don't like streaming services. Their music is meant to be listened that way to fully get the message.
One of the funniest Tool creations: Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned (again - focus on the lyrics, stop the video to read everything, funny as hell)
And do some more bands. You guys got the potential to grow this channel.
@Oskars
Thanks for the tip man! I think we’ll try to stick to lyric vids from now on for the most part, too important! Cheers friend! 😁
Please react to some The Mars Volta! Their first album is a good introduction. Try Roulette Dares (The Haunt of) and or Son et lumière & Inertiatic ESP combined. They have even more mind-blowing stuff in their later albums but it may be somewhat strange if you aren't aware of how their sound has progressed.
The video shown through out the song isn't actually by tool. (Guitarist) Adam does there film clips
This dude is High asf... when James start to song min blown... xD
The first time i watch the music vid, i genuinely cried
He says the kangaroo done hung the juror and guilty with the innocent and he’s talking about a kangaroo court in which a generally false case is brought up where there is no evidence of someone being guilty of an actual crime. That’s just one meaning of the song maybe. Definitely about how some people feel they’re better than others even though they do the same things.
What I feel
Like it is that he’s doing whatever to get the drugs cause he’s literally making himself cry to make the plants go high amazing work from tool
Camus ' The Stranger' A great penal themed 'head scratcher.' Respect.
I could watch the dude on the right all day, his reaction is priceless haha
"Ganja? Puh-lease! You must been out your mind!"
@Kykk
🔥🔥🤟🏻
