Also, the parts where he is whispering, many people think that is the "shadow voice". There are a few songs where he is speaking from two voices in one song.
Great reaction. This song is referring to psychiatrist Carl Jung's shadow work. The Shadow is a part of the unconscious mind that contains repressed thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He believed that people could gain a better understanding of themselves and become more balanced by working with their shadow. In a nutshell. The term 46&2 refers to the belief by some that humans will evolve to acquire another pair of chromosomes. We currently have 23 pairs, or 46. I'm sure that others will elaborate on this topic. Great job
@ToolFool987 Very well stated. The only slight context I want to provide is this- humans currently have 22 pairs of autosomes + 2 sex chromosomes (XX female or XY male) so technically 23 pairs or 46 total. Agree, the Christ Consciousnesses concept is the evolution to 23 pairs of autosomes + 2 sex chromosomes and hence 46&2. Just a little extra detail for those interested in the topic 😊
Love the reaction guys! I know you like to call it the Tool Shed but just an FYI, Tool fans are known as the Tool Army…..there’s WAAAY too many of us to fit into a shed! LOL. We really amount to a good sized Army! But seriously, love the reactions!! And yes, you typically need both ears because Tool does a LOT of panning to one side and you will miss something if you don’t!
Do Parabol/Parabola next! It's two songs but meant to be played back to back. Recommend doing audio only and not the official video (although it's cool it'll be too distracting on a first listen). 🌀
I know exactly what you were trying to say before your pause. People have been conditioned to wait for a "savior" when really the only one who can "save us" is ourselves. The only way out is in.
And when you cross through your Shadow, you are correct, you have learned and accepted every single positive and negative thing that ever happened to you in your life, and now you use it as your super power towards your own evolution
I thought you might like that one. 😃Next up you need to check out "Parabol" and "Parabola" (Parabol leads into Parabola so you should listen to them back to back). Parabol is a slow start but I promise it's worth it and the lyrics are fire.
46 & 2 chromosomes represents a human evolution to a new species of higher thinking. Which is possibly geniuses like him that are next in line to take over 🤘
Another thing that might help. when on tour Maynard sings from the back of the stage. On a riser with drummer, Danny Carey. Adam and Justin on guitar and bass are out front. Vocals are just another instrument.
Definitely need both headphones on! With music like this, there are effects, sounds, and instruments that only happen in the left or right channel at different times. You're missing part of the experience if you only have sound coming out of one side.
Yes! Tool!!! They were/are my favorite band (then I heard Sleep Token and WOW). They are neck and neck in my eyes. I love both of them. I was jamming to this album in the late 90s 😂. One of my all time Tool favorite albums. Check out the whole album, it's fire. My favs of this album are STINKFIST, AENEMA(TITLE TRACK) & this song, 46&2. Then Maynard has another band named A Perfect Circle. Another awesomely good band. I loved your reactions. Great Song!!! 🌀
As a pro musician that was me for a lot of my younger years… Now I still appreciate the music, but the lyrics have helped me grow in life more than the music has. And thats how Uncle Trebor was birthed lol
Tool army reporting for duty! Your dad needs some good headphones. I'm voting for Vicarious next but you can't go wrong with any Tool song; they don't make bad music. They're the ONLY band I can listen to their albums all the way through. Immaculate band! Also, please make a Tool playlist!!
Totally agree. Tool's music gets better with every listen and then it becomes addictive when you realize you're listening to the best music ever created.
42 and 2 are dna strands for some humans, most humans have 44 and 2 strands of dna, the next evolutionary process of humanity is 46 and 2. I’ve heard the whispers are a nod to taking DMT and the whispering nature of the entities you encounter during a DMT experience. Based off the album artwork you can certainly deduce they have experimented with the “occasional” hallucinogenic.
Dad! I know how excited you are to try and explain this song. Please let the boy hear it first! This is not a one time listen song. Let him have his chance.
Well I hadn't had a chance either LOL! We both heard it for the first time. And our channel is geared towards getting the life lessons out of the lyrics. It's still in process
@@UncleTrebor Joy comes from the light because you are enlightened but fear and horror comes from the darkness the self the shadow the unknown lurking in the darkness of our self Man can do evil they give into the self the darkness the shadow and so it will consume you if not for the light to be enlightened Eastern mysticism focus’s on the self the darkness the shadow the Brahmin and ufhman and the darkness is God Brahmin and the ufhman is the self the shadow and nirvana is reached when a person accepts that all is illusion and the shadow is the darkness and therefore God I don’t think this is enlightenment
We each have the light and dark, we make our choices individually… we as the broader WE, society, we do NOT have to have both sides… both sides exist, but together we can choose what is best for us all… but only if we stand together..
I love yo watch reaction videos,especially if people react to Pink Floyd or Tool. This is the first time running across you guys and i am hooked already on you guy(and its extra special causd your a father and son team). Tool is unique,Maynard has a beautiful way of getting his message. Try Pink Floyd when you're through with Tool,they were head of their time(personally, I'd skip over Sid Barrett years). You guys are nice to look at too
The stepping away from church comment is very relatable. Once I stepped away I realized I was no longer being held back and I could see clearly that religion controls the mind and minimizes learning the world and holding space for people.
Tool is Danny Carey’s band as well as Adam and Justin. Maynard considers himself an instrument to accent their art. Off the top I think 46 and 2 is the dna mix for human beings. Adding another strand evolves that mix.
Every time I hear about the part where he’s really low in the mix and whispering, think about this, it got you leaning forward, listening hard, and you talked about it. IMO, Maynard made you experience exactly what he wanted right at that moment.
I like you guys. Great interpretation and understanding. I can't speak for the band, but my interpretation is on the same lines as yours. And cool music. Check out more Tool.
15:45 Hey now you are about to reap the Toolwind there buddy! Literally every single sound in a Tool song was purposefully meant to be there. Maynard is mixed in at the same level as the other instruments because he doesn't want to stand out over his other band mates. His voice is just another instrument. At their concerts he is usually seen behind the other band members and walking in the shadows behind them on stage. Its one of the reasons you ALWAYS have the lyrics pulled up when dissecting Tool. 46 and 2 refers to the amount of chromosomes a human has. According to the concept that they are referencing in this song our pre-human ancestors had 44, or less, chromosomes and current humans have 46. There is a theory that if humans had 48 chromosomes that we would transcend our current humanity and become a higher order being hence the 46 and 2, or 46+2=48. In order to do that he has to integrate his whole self. Shadow work relates back to Carl Jung and the realization that we all have a dark side of our psyche that we try to keep repressed but needs to be reconciled with our active mind. This process is about bringing the two together and becoming one being in balance and harmony. How is this done? 'By passing through my Shadow, coming out the other side, passing through my Shadow, 46 and 2 just ahead of me'.
aww snap! you guys going into Tool? man.......my brothers. Dont for get "A Perfect Circle" is next. Im wearing their shirt right now. Maynard! Danny Carey! Adam Jones....and whoever is on bass at the time lol. I rank sleep token close to Tool. Not above Tool. But a close second
@DeathColdBeer- Dude!!! You just took the words out of my head 😂😂😂. I was jamming to this in the late 90s. Been a Tool fan for a long time. It never gets old, and I equate Sleep Token right up there with them. I know Vessel is a Tool fan!
There are three totally different kinds of humans on the Earth, meaning that they perceive the One reality in three different ways, interpreted differently. The first kind of human has a chromosome composition of 42+2. They comprise a unity consciousness that does not see anything outside themselves as being separate from themselves. To them, there is only one energy - one life, one beingness that moves everywhere. Anything happening anywhere is within them, as well. They are like cells in the body. They are all connected to a single consciousness that moves through all of them. These are the aboriginals in Australia. There might be a few African tribes left like this. Then, there is our level, comprising 44+2 chromosomes. We are a disharmonic level of consciousness that is used as a steppingstone from the 42+2 level to the next level, 46+2...These two additional chromosomes change everything. The Shadow: In Carl Jung's personality theory, the ego represents the individual's sense of personal self. The sense of personal identity is purchased, however, at the expense of certain tendencies that are rejected as 'not-self'. According to Jung, these rejected traits come together as a kind of unconscious 'counter-ego' which he termed the shadow. We may become unduly anxious or irritated when in an environment or around a person that in some way reminds us of repressed aspects of our self. If a person has rejected his or her own sex drive, for example, that person may feel irrational fear or anger around an overtly sexual individual. The shadow may appear as a person in one's dreams, usually as an individual of the same sex. Of all the archetypes, the shadow is the most powerful and potentially the most dangerous. It represents everything about ourselves that we fear and despise. The meaning of 46 + 2: According to Melchezedek, our planet is covered with geometrically constructed 'morpho genetic grids'. These grids extend from about 60 feet under the Earth's surface to about 60 miles above the Earth, arranged in geometric patterns “Sacred Geometry”. Each species has its own grid, which supports life, and connects the consciousness of its particular species. Before any species can come into existance or make an evolutionary step, a new grid must be completed. When a species becomes extinct, that particular species' grid dissoves. A new grid was completed in 1989 - the 'christ-consciousness' grid. This grid will allow humans to evolve into our next version. We'll develop two additional chromosomes (which are really 'geometrical images' designed to resonate with our specific grid) for a total of 46 + 2. The main change will be a shift to the "unity consciousness". Every cell in your body has its own consciousness and memory. You, the higher being that occupies your body, make the millions of different consciousnesses in your body work together as one being. How does this relate to this grid? Think of yourself as a cell and the grid as the higher being. We will still have individual consciousness, but will be united in the form of a higher being in order to work as one entity.
I knew someone would give a detailed explanation to the question....what does 46 & 2 mean. So thank YOU for making this effort to help educate and illuminate us.
Is this a music reaction or a lyrics reaction? Read the lyrics first and talk about them all you want but then actually listen to the music!! Tool’s music is next level and you’re missing the flow!
It's definitely more a lyrics reaction and trying to find life lessons in the lyrics. I do however play several instruments so I can get caught up in the music as well. We're also still new to this so we're getting a feel for it more and more. Roll with us on this journey fam! Thanks
Sorry it wasn't an edit our screen cap stopped recording and I just forgot to complete the thought. We will definitely talk more about that on this channel.
"Do you know what I'm sayin'?" English, yes we all speak it so you can quit asking. This song is based around the concepts of Jungian psychology - examining our shadow self, that version of ourselves we attempt to ignore and hide from others - and also the idea that human evolution could come from the addition of 2 chromosomes to our DNA - 46 + 2
you don't have to be a dick, some people have words or phrases they repeat. I'm sure you probably have some sort of physical tick or literary tick you do as well, but nobody tells you to shut the hell up because, well we aren't assholes.
To beat the shadow the self you must reject it as this leads to self worship and destruction when you enter the light you shed your old skin It’s all jungian philosophy
@@SharilynBratton If it’s doing you harm you must reject it The shadow is the darkness in oneself Your mind is not your own there are evil thoughts and good thoughts and we choose to do one or the other The evil thoughts can mask themselves as good thoughts and the shadow can make us believe it is the light We must discern the outcome of our actions and thoughts and the consequences of them
@@martinmartin1363 To each his own, in my case the terrible things I endured as a child could not be healed by rejecting the effects and the questionable choices I made from those effects; the voice of my soul told me I needed to accept all that came, bless the lesson and convert it to healing and light, which for me was not outright rejection but transformation. Whatever works, it’s all about entering that light at the end that we all really are.
@@SharilynBratton Forgive those who abuse you and you will forget listen to the darkness the shadow and you will seek revenge the darkness never forgives or forgets
@@martinmartin1363 Who says I listen to the darkness, I never sought revenge merely understanding and unconditional compassion for those who hurt an innocent child. I would never have learned this without learning not to fear the darkness nor embrace it, therefore no need to reject it but more just a thoughtful setting it down and moving on knowing all that comes is done for us not to us.
It’s not for everyone but I’m here for their discussion. These guys take the deep dive that bands like Tool and ST deserve. Gotta dig deep with lyrics at this level and music, especially on a first listen. Nothing superficial here. Love the reaction boys, keep it up.
@@jameslindfors I'm not surprised by this take and there's no wrong way! I just love hearing Tool and I prefer natural reactions while the video is playing.
Totally understand and respect your POV...but the truth is that when listening to TOOL, people will have their own response to what they are experiencing. Some will have little to say but flip out on expressions while the music plays. And the other extreme is to analyze and question all that is being experienced. And of course, all that falls in between. None of this is the wrong way....all is the right way for the person going through the experience. And your perspective is also correct to come away from watching this and feeling the breaks were to often, especially since you have likely already experienced your first experience of the song in question (46 & 2 in this case) hundreds of times....with likely each impacting you in different ways. I hope people who do these types of videos go back and listen to what they have heard many more times to be able to catch all that they missed. There is SO much happening, that its normal to have only caught like 25% of what is there on the first try.
Really appreciate you watching! Def not for everyone, but lyrics in my more mature years have taken more of a significance in my growth vs. the music in my younger years. Just want people to experience lyrics the way I do. Thanks again and hope you click every so often!
You ALWAYS need to hear in both ears. Why the hell would you only want to hear one side of a music track? Thats super weird man. And you dont listen with one side quieter than the other either. God almighty its super annoying to react to people who arent even hearing the song the way it was meant to be heard.
I think it's super weird that you think it's super weird… Even weirder is you using the word ALWAYS!! 😆 We are just limited in our equipment so we can't listen and talk to each other at the same time. We're open to sponsorships if you want to contribute bruh 🤣
I hear what your saying about see things clearer once you stepped back from your religious upbringing, even though you edited it out. A free thinker subscribes to no doctrine.
Definitely! And sorry I didn't edit it out... Our screen capture stopped in the middle of recording, and I forgot to go back to the point after. My bad
I'm not sure how you listen to a song for the 1st time in 5 second chunks. I know I wouldn't be able to appreciate any of it. In other words: you pause way too much.
To us for this channels sake the music is secondary. We are trying to dissect the lyrics for the lessons inside of them. Def not for everyone of course!
Should pause in transitions between verse and chorus not mid sentence. And maybe not so much. I scanned through the video until minute 13 before I found music mmao
They could teach Master Classes in College based on TOOL Lyrics!
It takes a master class to understand them for sure!! LOL
His voice is mixed that way b/c he says he’s just another instrument
Ok yeah thats making more sense!
Also, the parts where he is whispering, many people think that is the "shadow voice". There are a few songs where he is speaking from two voices in one song.
Great reaction. This song is referring to psychiatrist Carl Jung's shadow work. The Shadow is a part of the unconscious mind that contains repressed thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Great job
Yep 46&2 = the next stage in human evolution
@ToolFool987
Very well stated. The only slight context I want to provide is this- humans currently have 22 pairs of autosomes + 2 sex chromosomes (XX female or XY male) so technically 23 pairs or 46 total. Agree, the Christ Consciousnesses concept is the evolution to 23 pairs of autosomes + 2 sex chromosomes and hence 46&2. Just a little extra detail for those interested in the topic 😊
I am familiar with Jung and I've done my own dive into shadow work as well! It's vital in my opinion!
Love the reaction guys! I know you like to call it the Tool Shed but just an FYI, Tool fans are known as the Tool Army…..there’s WAAAY too many of us to fit into a shed! LOL. We really amount to a good sized Army!
But seriously, love the reactions!! And yes, you typically need both ears because Tool does a LOT of panning to one side and you will miss something if you don’t!
What he said!!!
I feel you!! We appreciate it!
If you like analyzing lyrics you'll love Tool. Right in two is a great one
Adding it to the list!
When someone sings or talks quietly you have to actively pay attention.
Good point sir!
Do Parabol/Parabola next! It's two songs but meant to be played back to back. Recommend doing audio only and not the official video (although it's cool it'll be too distracting on a first listen). 🌀
Hell yeah my favorite Tool song 🤘song
Pleeeease❤❤❤❤
Agreed - I would love to see you guys to Parabol/Parabola. Also, when you want to have a heavy moment, you guys can do Wings for Marie pt1/pt2.
We got you! Thanks for watching
TOOL ARMY RISE UP
You guys marched in gangster af lol
Present ❤
Present
You two are delightful - thank you for returning to Tool!
So are you!! Thanks for coming along!
I know exactly what you were trying to say before your pause. People have been conditioned to wait for a "savior" when really the only one who can "save us" is ourselves.
The only way out is in.
Carl Jung approve this comment
You said it all! Thanks for your comment and for riding with us! 🖤
We are called "Tool Army". Not tool shed.
Doing great. Keep doing tool reactions.
It’s just a lil inside joke we made on our first tool reaction lol!! Check out lateralus thanks for watching!!
It’s not that serious man
Thanks for the heads up.@@ShinobiSports
Tool shed was an old internet forum for the band way back in the day though
I am surprised no one answered. He is mixed into the music because his voice is an instrument. He is not a lead singer, he is the only singer. 😂
oh yeah, this makes perfect sense! That's pretty dope
46&2 = evolution
Boom! Explained! Thanks! LOL
Tool Army represent! Great reaction guys! Spiral out 🌀🤘
And when you cross through your Shadow, you are correct, you have learned and accepted every single positive and negative thing that ever happened to you in your life, and now you use it as your super power towards your own evolution
Very well said!!!

46 & 2 chromosomes represents a human evolution to a new species of higher thinking. Which is possibly geniuses like him that are next in line to take over 🤘
Ahhh ok!! I was def wondering!
Here for TOOL🔧🌀 Greatest band ever. Not a single bad song.
We're finally here too!!
Maynard just considers himself another instrument
Another thing that might help. when on tour Maynard sings from the back of the stage. On a riser with drummer, Danny Carey. Adam and Justin on guitar and bass are out front.
Vocals are just another instrument.
Yeah I'm loving that concept!
They moved Maynard to prevent bleeding through on this mic. They were picking up Danny's bass drums in .Maynard mic, so they moved maynard
@@mikeoxlong8272 I've read that too. That kind of tech issue leads me to thinking it would affect other bands too.
Definitely need both headphones on! With music like this, there are effects, sounds, and instruments that only happen in the left or right channel at different times. You're missing part of the experience if you only have sound coming out of one side.
We definitely understand the panning… But we have equipment limitations. We're working on it. Thanks for riding with us!
Excellent reaction! Love the ability to have a deep and open conversation between father and son. It’s a beautiful sight. Spiral Out 🌀!
This means a lot! Thank you!
This music is meant to be heard in stereo, you want both headphones in or you are missing out on part of the music.
We're working on getting a setup where we can hear ourselves. Until then its gotta be this way. Thanks for watching!
Evolution of your spiritual journey by stepping through your shadow. Jung
it's a must!
Both headphones! Good vibes
Would it surprise you to know that when these songs are created, Maynard's input is done last?
Spiral Out - ToOl army
no surprises here lol
Yeah man always use both headphones. TooL does so much panning you need both to hear everything!
Gotta go with both ears if only for the engineering genius used for Danny's drums. The panning and dynamics alone are absolute ear candy.
The vocal mix is intentional. He wants to blend in as an additional instrument, and not a tradition frontman out and over everything.
We're gonna definitely take that into consideration. But the lyrics of what we're diving into most here. Hope you're still here for the ride!
Yes! Tool!!! They were/are my favorite band (then I heard Sleep Token and WOW). They are neck and neck in my eyes. I love both of them. I was jamming to this album in the late 90s 😂.

I can definitely see that Nicki! Glad you're with us on this ride
I listened to to for a couple of years before I even cared what exactly he was saying
Music was everything
As a pro musician that was me for a lot of my younger years… Now I still appreciate the music, but the lyrics have helped me grow in life more than the music has. And thats how Uncle Trebor was birthed lol
The muscle memory metaphor is gorgeous. Nice catch.

Also, please make a Tool playlist!!
We need a second listen..each listen you dive deeper and deeper! And on shroom you unlock a other dimension 😂🙏💚 love the video!
We don't have to tell us twice!! Lets get it!
Totally agree. Tool's music gets better with every listen and then it becomes addictive when you realize you're listening to the best music ever created.
Yea! Younger half is back! Great song, excited to see the video
I was glad too!! Thanks for riding with us!
Everything is on purpose. Vocals are considered another instrument with TOOL 🌀🌀🌀

We appreciate you!
More Tool!
oh, it's coming no doubt!
Father & son listening to music why I subscribe
Welcome to the fam!
I got to a point with TOOl where i gave up understanding the lyrics and just got into the great music, it's easier trust me 😆
Nah we ain't here for easy! LOL
Dad! I know how excited you are to try and explain this song. Please let the boy hear it first! This is not a one time listen song. Let him have his chance.

Chromosomes reference, I believe to signify evolution. Love y’all content and vibes.
Bettttt!! Thanks for that!
Love these two.
You will know a man by his fruits which comes from the Latin for frui meaning joy so you know a man by the joy he brings to everyone
I really like that!
@@UncleTrebor
Joy comes from the light because you are enlightened but fear and horror comes from the darkness the self the shadow the unknown lurking in the darkness of our self
Man can do evil they give into the self the darkness the shadow and so it will consume you if not for the light to be enlightened
Eastern mysticism focus’s on the self the darkness the shadow the Brahmin and ufhman and the darkness is God Brahmin and the ufhman is the self the shadow and nirvana is reached when a person accepts that all is illusion and the shadow is the darkness and therefore God
I don’t think this is enlightenment
Lateralus may be my favorite song all time (lyric video) Enjoy the rabbit hole
I could definitely see this. Thanks for watching!
We each have the light and dark, we make our choices individually… we as the broader WE, society, we do NOT have to have both sides… both sides exist, but together we can choose what is best for us all… but only if we stand together..
I do agree they both exist… But you can only ascend so far with just one. Thanks for watching.
More Tool!! Subbed
🤘🏻🌀
Maynard likes being tucked in the mix, letting the instruments really pierce thru
Well, we at this channel need the lyrics more so we gonna need a remaster from Maynard lol I really love that concept though!
TOOL and Rage Against the Machine: pull up lyrics on the side. Both bands have a lot to say.
I've always wanted to get into Rage Against the Machine! Seems like a good time!
As a Tool and Attack on Titan fan I love this reaction
Your muscle memory is to say “you know what I’m sayin? like” in between every two sentences. I’m not going to count, but could be hundreds.
Could be... Working on it! Thanks for the critique

Great explanation! I hope to talk more about this in future videos too
Tool is Danny Carey’s band as well as Adam and Justin. Maynard considers himself an instrument to accent their art.
Off the top I think 46 and 2 is the dna mix for human beings. Adding another strand evolves that mix.
I like the concept a lot. I'll def listen differently now

I don't doubt that! Dude seems to be hella intentional!!
I like you guys. Great interpretation and understanding. I can't speak for the band, but my interpretation is on the same lines as yours. And cool music. Check out more Tool.
The vocals are another instrument, everything interweaves.
There is a music academy that had some kids choice this song. You can watch that video to learn more about the complexities of the music.
yeah, we may have to check that out

We are a disharmonic level of consciousness that is used as a steppingstone from the 42+2 level to the next level, 46+2...These two additional chromosomes change everything.
The Shadow:
In Carl Jung's personality theory, the ego represents the individual's sense of personal self. The sense of personal identity is purchased, however, at the expense of certain tendencies that are rejected as 'not-self'. According to Jung, these rejected traits come together as a kind of unconscious 'counter-ego' which he termed the shadow.
We may become unduly anxious or irritated when in an environment or around a person that in some way reminds us of repressed aspects of our self. If a person has rejected his or her own sex drive, for example, that person may feel irrational fear or anger around an overtly sexual individual. The shadow may appear as a person in one's dreams, usually as an individual of the same sex.
Of all the archetypes, the shadow is the most powerful and potentially the most dangerous. It represents everything about ourselves that we fear and despise.
The meaning of 46 + 2:
According to Melchezedek, our planet is covered with geometrically constructed 'morpho genetic grids'. These grids extend from about 60 feet under the Earth's surface to about 60 miles above the Earth, arranged in geometric patterns “Sacred Geometry”. Each species has its own grid, which supports life, and connects the consciousness of its particular species. Before any species can come into existance or make an evolutionary step, a new grid must be completed. When a species becomes extinct, that particular species' grid dissoves.
A new grid was completed in 1989 - the 'christ-consciousness' grid. This grid will allow humans to evolve into our next version. We'll develop two additional chromosomes (which are really 'geometrical images' designed to resonate with our specific grid) for a total of 46 + 2.
The main change will be a shift to the "unity consciousness". Every cell in your body has its own consciousness and memory. You, the higher being that occupies your body, make the millions of different consciousnesses in your body work together as one being. How does this relate to this grid? Think of yourself as a cell and the grid as the higher being. We will still have individual consciousness, but will be united in the form of a higher being in order to work as one entity.
I knew someone would give a detailed explanation to the question....what does 46 & 2 mean. So thank YOU for making this effort to help educate and illuminate us.
Definitely knew this was coming! We appreciate it! 🔥
@11:34 Whoa, crazy audio jump here!
Sorry! Our audio stop recording so we switched to the phone audio… We're getting better!
Not a Cowbell, that's a Tabla...an electronic Tabla
Ok nice!!
Hell yes. Hard to find better bars.
Always good to have you here TB!! appreciate the support
Can’t wait to see the stink fist reaction
Def there!! LOL
Is this a music reaction or a lyrics reaction? Read the lyrics first and talk about them all you want but then actually listen to the music!! Tool’s music is next level and you’re missing the flow!
It's definitely more a lyrics reaction and trying to find life lessons in the lyrics. I do however play several instruments so I can get caught up in the music as well. We're also still new to this so we're getting a feel for it more and more. Roll with us on this journey fam! Thanks
Please react to the band Loathe. Start with Stigmata please. We're sharing same music taste and mindset. Peace out brothers 🤘🤘
It's on the list now! Thanks for the recommendation
@@UncleTreborYou're welcome
The correct term is TOOL Army.
Dang yall really dont like Tool Shed huh??? 😭😂
Tool Shed? Tool Army!!
Well... Where does the Tool Army live??? Uhhh the Tool Shed!! Boom lol
Everyone lies. The most common lie told supposedly is, "I'm fine."
Yeah. Maynard just wants to be another instrument. He doesn’t want to be the “Front Man”.
Gotcha! He's a G!!
U edited your thoughts when u left church?
Sorry it wasn't an edit our screen cap stopped recording and I just forgot to complete the thought. We will definitely talk more about that on this channel.
that shadow you grow in is called dark night of the soul :) unc you know too much
Been through and put myself through a lot in this life! So I be knowing shit lol
Check out 'Ghost of Tom Joad' cover by Rage Against the Machine....Tool's a tool to b used 😎👍
"Do you know what I'm sayin'?" English, yes we all speak it so you can quit asking. This song is based around the concepts of Jungian psychology - examining our shadow self, that version of ourselves we attempt to ignore and hide from others - and also the idea that human evolution could come from the addition of 2 chromosomes to our DNA - 46 + 2
you don't have to be a dick, some people have words or phrases they repeat. I'm sure you probably have some sort of physical tick or literary tick you do as well, but nobody tells you to shut the hell up because, well we aren't assholes.
Thanks for the critique…
46 and 2 is the next step in human evolution. The development of extra chromosomes.
Ahhh of course!
Then you must find Primus" and Buckethead......ohh soo much there
Got it down!!
Зацените Invincible. Очень интересно что думают два поколения о этой песне
Writing it down!! Thanks for watching!
46 refers to the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. I think you can take it from there!
Def helped fam! Yall keep up us up to date always!
To beat the shadow the self you must reject it as this leads to self worship and destruction when you enter the light you shed your old skin
It’s all jungian philosophy
You don’t reject it, you incorporate its lessons to help you advance.
@@SharilynBratton
If it’s doing you harm you must reject it
The shadow is the darkness in oneself
Your mind is not your own there are evil thoughts and good thoughts and we choose to do one or the other
The evil thoughts can mask themselves as good thoughts and the shadow can make us believe it is the light
We must discern the outcome of our actions and thoughts and the consequences of them
@@martinmartin1363 To each his own, in my case the terrible things I endured as a child could not be healed by rejecting the effects and the questionable choices I made from those effects; the voice of my soul told me I needed to accept all that came, bless the lesson and convert it to healing and light, which for me was not outright rejection but transformation. Whatever works, it’s all about entering that light at the end that we all really are.
@@SharilynBratton
Forgive those who abuse you and you will forget listen to the darkness the shadow and you will seek revenge the darkness never forgives or forgets
@@martinmartin1363 Who says I listen to the darkness, I never sought revenge merely understanding and unconditional compassion for those who hurt an innocent child. I would never have learned this without learning not to fear the darkness nor embrace it, therefore no need to reject it but more just a thoughtful setting it down and moving on knowing all that comes is done for us not to us.
Please react to Tool-intension its fire ❤
Marking it down sir!
Maybe y'all are used to unpacking a song in one listen. Nah. Listen again in a year. It'll hit you different.
Nah we're not used to it at all! We're babies to this reaction game lol
TOOL ARMY NOT SHED OR BOX.
React to pmeuma by tool
I know others enjoy this kind of reaction, but for me too many stops
It’s not for everyone but I’m here for their discussion. These guys take the deep dive that bands like Tool and ST deserve. Gotta dig deep with lyrics at this level and music, especially on a first listen. Nothing superficial here. Love the reaction boys, keep it up.
@@jameslindfors I'm not surprised by this take and there's no wrong way! I just love hearing Tool and I prefer natural reactions while the video is playing.
Totally understand and respect your POV...but the truth is that when listening to TOOL, people will have their own response to what they are experiencing. Some will have little to say but flip out on expressions while the music plays. And the other extreme is to analyze and question all that is being experienced. And of course, all that falls in between. None of this is the wrong way....all is the right way for the person going through the experience. And your perspective is also correct to come away from watching this and feeling the breaks were to often, especially since you have likely already experienced your first experience of the song in question (46 & 2 in this case) hundreds of times....with likely each impacting you in different ways. I hope people who do these types of videos go back and listen to what they have heard many more times to be able to catch all that they missed. There is SO much happening, that its normal to have only caught like 25% of what is there on the first try.
Really appreciate you watching! Def not for everyone, but lyrics in my more mature years have taken more of a significance in my growth vs. the music in my younger years. Just want people to experience lyrics the way I do. Thanks again and hope you click every so often!
You ALWAYS need to hear in both ears. Why the hell would you only want to hear one side of a music track? Thats super weird man. And you dont listen with one side quieter than the other either. God almighty its super annoying to react to people who arent even hearing the song the way it was meant to be heard.
I think it's super weird that you think it's super weird… Even weirder is you using the word ALWAYS!! 😆 We are just limited in our equipment so we can't listen and talk to each other at the same time. We're open to sponsorships if you want to contribute bruh 🤣
Most Star Wars after Disney is Garbage writing.
Not denying that, but it still fits the analogy lol! Thanks for watching
I hear what your saying about see things clearer once you stepped back from your religious upbringing, even though you edited it out. A free thinker subscribes to no doctrine.
Definitely! And sorry I didn't edit it out... Our screen capture stopped in the middle of recording, and I forgot to go back to the point after. My bad
I'm not sure how you listen to a song for the 1st time in 5 second chunks. I know I wouldn't be able to appreciate any of it. In other words: you pause way too much.
To us for this channels sake the music is secondary. We are trying to dissect the lyrics for the lessons inside of them. Def not for everyone of course!
is tool your favorite band yet?
Should pause in transitions between verse and chorus not mid sentence. And maybe not so much. I scanned through the video until minute 13 before I found music mmao
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes which equals 46. The plus 2 is evolution
Great reaction
