TOOL H. Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge
TOOL REACTIONS
Man such great comments on this video. Thank you all for leaving your thoughts. More Tool to come for sure!
Awwwright!!🤙
#stillherebro!
Brother these last few years have been rough. Your videos have been an oasis from the madness. Please keep it up. Thank you
If you like Maynard I recommend his second band A perfect Circle's album Mer de Nom.
@@Youlookeddidntyou wow, thank you so much for that message. Your timing is impeccable. I have been feeling a little insecure about the content on my channel and trying to make everybody happy and it kind of brought me down a little bit today but this comment Lifted Me Above the Clouds! Aloha my friend
I told a friend back in high school that I didn’t know who Tool was. He burned a cd mix for me and this was the first song. It absolutely blew me away. He died when we were 20 and this song reminds me of him. Thanks Kev!
Days away I still feel you!
Touching me, changing me
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend
It's a blessed but hard responsibility to carry a friend with you. sending you my love and hope
Good friend you remember him to be it seems.
This was the shifting of Tool from young angry musicians to developing cerebral adults.....all the while to the beat of Mr Carey and the emotion of Mr Keenan......they are so unique, unapologetic, sound like no one, no one sounds like them.....Tool Army forever, 30 years of service for me (im 54 btw, no kid)
I’m right there with you brother! Will be 50 this coming Sunday, and enlisted in the Tool Army in 92!!
Yep. 52 here and always loved Tool...
Hear ya brother. Pushing 30 for me too, I'll be 39 soon lol. hell of a time to become a teenager in the early 90s after being raised on pink floyd, zeppelin, Hendrix, Santana, yes, deep purple etc... Paul & Justin are my inspiration for learning bass.
52 already behind me, but tool keeps hitting deep, specially last album, decending gives me goosebumps everytime.
@@petejung3122 F.I. Is phenomenal!
Invincible really hits home with me!
Most under-rated Tool song? Such beautiful vocals and melody.
Totally agree. Great choice of song. I feel like it's one for the 'real' Tool fans, whatever that means.
One of the best tunes on a legendary album.
@@awakenedtarot7306 immaculate album
This track was tabbed in Guitar world, played on radio, etc. People are very aware that its awesome
Considerately.
- Ladder Alice
I let my 3yo pick the music when I pick him up from daycare and he sometimes asks for the "I don't mind song". The first time, it was a good few minutes of very frustrated kid and very confused dad to realise this is the song he wants.
Thats so cool mate
The kid's being raised right 🤘
H. Is the one Tool song I refuse to sing along to because I don't want to ruin it with my awful vocals
Just need a better stereo so you can scream, but can't hear it like I do.
Of all the songs that resonated with me as an angsty teen, this one has persisted in still being able to hit me as an adult. Great choice. Obviously will be here for every tool song you react to, would also like to see some more polyphia on your channel.
the whole album of Aenima still hits me the same way today like it did in 96.
@@wizarddragon me too it's phenomenal album. But why doesn't any talk about OPIATE? To me it's still the most deep and power EP to ever exist!!
@@blindmelonlemonjello couldn't agree more. hush hits harder than an 18 wheeler going 90
@@PeterSmith-xe6lp exactly. Tool saved my life.. it's like nothing else.. look up the scientology convention center live from 1993 it's great really illustrates how they started..
This album from start to finish is chef’s kiss. It always takes me back to the moment it was released. I was 16 at the time and had been listening to them since I was 13. But when THIS happened It evoked something in me and still does. Tool has taken me places I can’t explain with words. True fans KNOW exactly what I mean. Seeing them live in my 40’s was a life altering moment, I felt like my life had come full circle and it was like I had reconciled my damaged teen self with who I am now. And all was right in “my” world. As I said above … it’s difficult to articulate with words.
To call the song "Intimate" without even listening or knowing the lyrics, wow! That speaks volumes to Tool's music, and the song's subject matter, but also Geebz' ability to pick up on both the nuances and also pulling back constantly to not "miss the forest for the trees". Killer video! :)
Sometimes I find myself losing interest in Tool's music as I'm a daily listener. Geebz never fails to rekindle that interest and passion for the intricate beauty that Tool has created. His ability to articulate the feelings woven into the auditory web of complexity is inspiring and makes me want to continue to dissect the layers of meaning that tool has laid for us to discover.
@@ezraboyle2236 My apologies but I have to ask, who are you trying to impress? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't answer in the manner you did here if you were having a verbal conversation. I'm not picking on you so dont take it personally. The comment sections are loaded with people's responses that sound like they were using a dictionary for reference when choosing their wording. Am I missing something here? I'm just asking a honest question that has no bad intent. Thank you and I agree with what you were saying 100%
@@scottballinger40 some Tool fans are tools. They just think they're super smart and "mindful", or "spiritual" or whatever other gae thing. Tool itself has actually even poked fun at the fans that take their music way too seriously
@@JustTheTip556 👆 This! 🤣
Yea, Tool brings out the best and the worst of us. Guess that's what makes them so amazing. People who would probably NEVER have a conversation with one another can find something here.
@@scottballinger40 I like pushing myself to use more complex vocabulary when communicating especially when I'm writing to improve my vocab skills. Not really for anyone but myself. I do in fact talk like this in certain conversations but only when I get deep or philosophical or I'm talking about something I'm very passionate about (eg. TOOL lol). Tool music is deeply meaningful to me I've never heard anything like it. It's the only band I can listen to every day and never get tired of. Which I think is why I like to write or speak poetically about them, because their music is so deep and profound to me. Didn't mean to give off a pretentious vibe I'm just very passionate about Tool music lol and I figured that's why everyone was here in the comments section of a tool music dissection video. Thanks for asking in an authentic way and I'm glad what I wrote resonated.
Can't go wrong with Tool.
That’s what she said?
The quiet repetition of “considerately killing me” at the end just hits me every time.
Embracing the shadow
Still looking forward to hearing your comments on Eulogy.
Gonna go listen to it again in the meantime 🤙🤙🤙
Yessssss!!!!! Eulogy next!!!!!
Greatttt song!
love eulogy as well, been waiting on vicarious 4 months lol
My all time favorite Tool song, and probably top 10 songs for me period.
I was born in '88, discovered Tool when Schism was on the radio. Graduated high school in '06 and during the senior year of high school my two best friends were BIG in to Tool. I enjoyed Schism and Lateralus but they swore I would love H. but I just couldn't get in to it. After several years I finally got in to Aenima and H became one of my favorite songs by them, and it still is. Not sure why it took me so long to love but at least I have a story to tell.
And really, while I think Lateralus is a perfect, masterpiece album, I listen to Aenima more than any of their other albums. Eulogy, H, Forty Six and 2, Jimmy...there are just so many bangers
Same boat, born Dec 87. Graduated 06 and listened to Lateralus non stop. Took years to appreciate Aenima, but now it’s a staple and irreplaceable in the catalog, especially as a guitar player. H. is a tense song that builds and build and builds and finally releases.
That’s exactly how I felt with Schism. I always asked my self, “how the hell is this one of their most popular songs??” It’s my FAVORITE song of theirs now lol
hey its me. cheers to all our 88/06 late tool fans. I was able to see them at the gorge in george, washinton - amazing show! Got tickets to two shows for next year - I'm always thinking "this could be their last tour!" so didn't want to miss it.
Let’s not forget Hooker With a Penis
"Do you notice how the engineering is really intimate" he says right before the middle section where you can hear Maynard lurking in the background breathing before his verse.
To me H. is typically ‘Ænima style’. The guitar sound was more raw, rhythm mostly 4/4 and songs recorded more ‘mono’. This album has its own feel. And it’s good!
Yeah... I was listening again just now... haven't heard in a while... The sound of it takes me waaaayyyy back... the pick scratches, the clean tone... an undeniable magical album this one was.
That build to the "I Don't Mind" section was pure Goosebumps live. You should do something off Undertow next. I think "Bottom" would be the best choice because of the spoken word section.
I listened to this song a few hours ago, about the time you posted this. : )
The Henry Rollins spoken word part is great!
great choice for sure
mine would be 4* tho
Goosebumps to this track for sure. I usually get them when the final chorus starts if they hadn't hit me earlier.
Dude if he's going to do bottom it's gotta be the one time live with the lead singer from fishbone doing his spoken word inside the coil. It's unbelievable words do not apply it's all viseral power
@@blindmelonlemonjello link! lol
This song probably means more to me than any other song I've ever heard. My father had an abusive adopted father, then also turned out abusive to children he told he never wanted. I haven't spoken to him since I was 18, and likewise he hasn't ever tried to reach out either, which I'm fine with. I was so scared to have my own children, and I carried all that hurt around and still mostly do. When my wife and I had our first, I would lie awake at night dreading how I might eventually act. Don't get me wrong, kids are stressful, but after he came along, idk I still don't get it. How can you hold that little soft frail hand in yours and despise it? I pushed for a name starting with H as my nod back to this song. I'm glad he'll never know my father.
If you haven't gotten into the lyrics on this one, you really should.
This, the patient and Eulogy are tools most underrated songs by far, and all are just as good as their top songs
The Patient is fucking amazing.
The final “goodbye” in eulogy never fails to amaze me every time
What about Pushit?
I don't think he's heard Eulogy yet? I don't remember him checking out that legendary percussion intro
These are three of my favorites man!
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. This was the first Tool song I learned on guitar and ended up playing it with my high school band in our talent show. I went on to cover it in a few other bands after high school and it was always my favorite song to play!
Some of the lyrics at the end of this song always make me tear up. I always knew about TOOL growing up but I never fully delved into them until I was right out of highschool. This song really hit me when I was going through my first real existential crisis and full realization of my mortality (Despite already having multiple near death experiences)
"And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
And will die
It's all right
I don't mind"
Eulogy and The Patient are two more of my Faves of Tool that I don't think you've done yet, worth a shot!
Also would love to see your thoughts on Rabbit in your Headlights by Unkle featuring Thom Yorke from Radiohead, one of the coolest music vids ever
love the song. never new it had a vid. ill have to check it out
@@donalmaguire6099 ruclips.net/video/RCG7qJAP7Qk/видео.html
YES and YES! I’d love for Geebz to react to both of these! Been waiting for the day. 🤘🏼
Eulogy is amazing yes!
i always cry when listening to The Patient, unbelievable song
I'm so glad you finally did this song. I was abused as a child by my mother, and when I had my own kids it was so very difficult to break that cycle, since physical discipline was the only method I knew and because I have a temper. Luckily, I inherited my father's kindness and willpower and it's safe to say I was a better mother than mine was.
Thanks for sharing that, was so encouraging to read. Good for you, friend!
@@jakew209 thanks, I shared because that's what this song is about for me. "As the snake is drowned, there's a look in its eyes, my fear begins to fade, recalling all of the times, I could have cried then; I should have cried then." That was me killing everything inside of me that was my mother, including getting treatment for my bipolar 1, clinical depression, PTSD, and anxiety; something my mother never did because it's not our way, and something my abuela never did because, again, it's not our way. We're Chiricahua and Mestizo-- our family endured the residential schools and the abuse of having the Indian beaten out of us by the whites at the schools, and that, method of discipline got passed down generation by generation and created a chain of rage and PTSD. It's serious, what multiple concussions as a child and a persistent fight/flight response does to your brain.
"As the walls come down, and there's a look in your eyes, my fear begins to fade, recalling all of the times I have died. I will die. It's alright. I don't mind."
That's me seeing my sons look at me with love, not fear, and that I'll happily kill that part of myself a million times to see that love there, that trust, and not the fear that I harbored for my mother all day, everyday, until I was 16 and realized I was 7 inches taller and 30lbs heavier than her and I fought back for the first time.
I have my father to thank for teaching me that you could love and trust a parent, that I didn't have to fear him. He died July 25th and I miss him so, so much. I miss his voice. I miss talking to him everyday. I miss his wisdom and I miss his love. He and my husband are the reasons I became a good mother and I'm glad I told him all of this and thanked him long before he died.
@@MegaKat be proud of who you are, what you have overcome, and know you are not your mother. Regardless of the memories that will never leave you, the support from your husband and love of your children will always defeat the burning rage internally suppressed. As a male who was physically and psychologically abused throughout childhood Tool have helped me through many dark times and still do today as a form of personal therapy and anger mgmt. Ths song especially hits home as a father now to a son who I could never dream of hurting the way my family hurt me. Hence why to him they don't exist. Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences, you are not alone.
❤sss and huggles megakat
Glad you were able to break the cycle!!! 🙂🙂🙂
It's hard to pinpoint a favorite Tool song for me this might just be it.
H. is one of my favorite Tool songs, and my top 3 favorite off Ænima.
Try The Witness by Adam Jones. Danny and Justin also play on it.
100%
Dont be surprised if its revamped with lyrics later
I still think Justin is the star of that song. And I yes I know it's an ad for Adams sig guitar lol.
@@Shincism Probably one of my favorite basslines from Justin ever
Another great video Geebz! H. is another one in the soundtrack of my life. I remember my dad walking by my room and asking me who this was as I was trying to play this on my guitar over and over. Guitar World had published the tabs that month and I was geeking out. We ended up sitting in my room and listening to the rest of Aenima together. Then he introduced me to King Crimson, Yes and Peter Gabriel stuff that he thought had some influence on them. A few years later we went and saw King Crimson open for Tool. Amazing show! Miss you Dad but thanks for all of these great memories I have with you!
If you’re looking for Tool suggestions my vote would be for Eulogy or Hooker with a Penis. Would love to get lyrical reactions to those down the road
Such a nice experience man. Thanks for sharing with us :)
This song does such a great job of capturing the softer vocals of Maynard while peppering in pieces of his harder vocals, love it.
H. was the third Tool song I ever heard (the first two being Sober and Forty Six & 2), and while the first two hit me one way, this song hit me in an entirely different manner and cemented my love for this band.
In general, Aenima was just an amazing "transition" album. It still had some angst and troll-ish wit from their earlier works, but it also showed how they were maturing, expanding their horizons and playing with their sound. Aenima will forever be one of my favorite albums, and H. will always have a special place in my soul.
Heck yeah! Doing my favorite song! Fell in love with this in high school, one of the first songs I learned on bass.
"Jimmy" is one you should check out. If you can, be sure to find the intro "Intermission" as well. Good bit of fun leading right into one of their most heavy and haunting songs.
Ah, one of my favorite TOOL songs! Thank you, please do look into the lyrics. They mean something different to everyone, but this one is great.
The more I understand them, the more they mean only one thing. Metamorphosis of self, death of ego, embracing of shadow. Now where to begin lol...
I've always found this album to be the most intimate of them all. Makes me feel like I'm safely hidden under a blanket from the world
This is one of my favorite Tool songs, and I've been patiently waiting for your reaction sir, thank you! Speaking of patience...I'm not sure you've checked out The Patient yet, that would be an excellent choice. You also haven't delved too deep into their early stuff either. 4* (degrees) or Flood would be worth your time as well Geebz! Thanks again!
4° is incredible, fer sure. You're gonna dig it.!
Oh man,yes! Flood is my favorite song off Undertow and it would be super interesting to see what Geebz pulls out of it.
Dark lyrics, but always was such a hauntingly beautiful song.
they are less dark than they may seem on the surface.
It's about how parenthood changed him. :)
@@gavanphitides2706 it took me a long time to understand how beautiful they are. I'm in the beginning of my journey now, but I have much to learn. Any advice you have for me I would like to please hear.
This song was cool and then I had a son at 19.
Now I can't help but cry every time I hear this song. It's beautiful.
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. You have the best reaction channel on YT by far. Love your insights on some of my favorite bands, especially Tool.
Please, Eulogy! Probably the best track on Ænima and the whole discography
How great to have you react to yet another great Tool song, mr. Geebz!!! keep them coming please!!!
"i could have cried....i should have cried...." - dude...the tingels!!!
I love you brother. May God bless you. You have taught me a lot about music over the past few months. Keep doing what you do and I will continue to learn. Peace.
Always here for Tool👍
I was just thinking about how gorgeous this song is earlier today - so great to see you enjoying it too!
H is and probably always will be my favorite song by Tool.
Enough can't be said for how incredible Tool is.... Truly a band's band. So organic, creative, and purposeful. Discovering Tool back in the mid 90's was a huge turning point in my life in multiple ways. Like Geebz said, they will continue to be a precedent setting band for generations to come. I'm so grateful to have found them and to have experienced them live multiple times over the years. My mother passed away just after the release of 10,000 days in '06, and she was similar to Maynard's mother in regards to her beliefs, so Wings for Marie 1 & 2 always hit me really hard. I know that so many others share that same feeling and experience.
Geebz, thank you so much for these breakdowns and reactions. It has been absolutely amazing to hear your insight. I have truly learned a lot already, and I have really enjoyed experiencing this Maynard journey with you. I know you haven't done anything from their Undertow album yet, so I would love to hear you decompose some of those (especially the title track). Looking forward to many more to come! Awwwright!! 🤙
Best band ever! I love when you react to any of Maynard’s band’s songs!
I particularly like that the bass and guitar swap riffs for the first half of the first verse to the first half of the second verse, but for the end of both verses they join back together.
Mirroring yin and yang
It's not one of the most popular songs on Fear Inoculum, but I would absolutely love to hear your take on Culling Voices. It's a super slow burner.
I dont listen to tool for tracks. Its like pink floyd meant to be a whole album experience.
This is my all time favorite from TOOL, as you say it's a departure from their usual sound, but it hits right at the core, very special
Would love to see reaction to Tool's "Bottom" that has a guest vocals from Henry Rollins.
"Ticks and leeches" is always fun. I assume you'll see a lot for this one.
Geebz you're awesome. Never change. Love your breakdowns so much.
Amazing insights as always. You can do no wrong, dude. Very excited to hear that there is more Radiohead coming this week. I think that Tool and RH will forever be my favourite bands.
Just keep going, Geebz. You're the best thing on RUclips. Sending love.
Here’s some 90s nostalgia: gin blossoms performing fake plastic trees. ruclips.net/video/DwNpG4BHgno/видео.html
Wow man I just watched your 46&2 review again and noticed your view number. Gonna be awesome to hit 1M views. It’s coming! I will watch and rewatch your Tool reactions. You put into words what I felt as a kid in my first listens even though I knew/know nothing about music composition. Fascinating.
One of the only songs (and things), that comes close to the experience and emotions of learning you're having a kid in unusually circumstances. It's 100% honest.
never really heard thiz take on thiz zong, care to elaborate?
@@pricc-om song is about MJK's kid, who's middle name is just H.
“I am too connected to you, to slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you, touching me, and changing me”
@@Daniel-xu6kd "My blood (his son) before me begs me
Open up my heart again
And I feel this coming over like a storm again
Considerately"
Aenima was the first Tool album that really got me into their music. I had never heard anything like it. If you're a Tool fan you understand that incredible feeling you get listening to their music. Thank you Geebz for loving their music as much as we do. Your's is the only reaction channel I subscribe to.
You did H. I have never clicked on anything so fast. This song has always been my favorite from Tool since I head it in about 8th grade back in 1998.
This has been my favorite song since I was a kid in the 90s. Thanks. Love what your doin man!
My fav Tool track. Great lyrics.
I reckon that has to be my favourite bridge in all music.. then the way it just opens out is such an emotional release... Love it and been loving it since the album was released..
Your positive vibes are f'n infectious, bro. Really glad I found this channel.
This song is one I play ALL the time....definitely one of Tools best songs
I love how in a lot of Tool songs you can truly tell that Maynard is holding back - restraining himself and not overpowering the other band mates contributions... until the time is right to unleash.
This one got me through a really nasty divorce.
It was so soothing- melodically and lyrically.
You’re such a grateful man. The way you show your gratitude for your viewers is what makes you, you! Keep it up my brotha. Aloha ❤️
Geebz expressions at the points of resolution are so satisfying!
This song is a hidden gem in their catalog. One of my faves. A true “deep cut.”
What is a deep cut
Tool you've not touched yet: Prison Sex, Stinkfist, Bottom, The Patient, and the live alternate version of Pushit (I know you did the original, the live version from Salival is the song re-imagined)
Every time is like the first time. Thats my Tool experience over the last 30 years.
P.S. you seem to rarely mention the guitar’s presence on the tracks ( strictly an observation, you’re awesome man ), I find that neat since it’s the guitar playing that has had the strongest impact on me. I wasn’t a guitar player when i first heard them in the early 90s, I was more interested in the drums and the bass. After hearing them at the time though it was the guitar’s presence on the tracks that hit me so hard.
this is my favorite song by Tool, awesome video subscribed after seeing your 46&2 breakdown
Thanks for decomposing this song. H. to me has always been Tool's most beautiful song. It always brings me to the edge of tears hearing the emotion from Maynard's voice. Thanks, thanks again.
uploaded 12 min ago ... Tool ... let's go!!
Even though I've gone on to love so many of their masterpieces, this and Forty Six & 2 are the songs that began my transition into a fully fledged, raging obsessive, serious addict of a Tool fan.
one of my all-time favorite Tool songs
One of the most underrated Tool song. Love it.
Thank you. This song finally truly hit me today and I saw this and it was wonderful. Thank you.
I appreciate all you do man, this, of all the other Tool songs have changed meanings for me throughout the years. WHen this album came out, I just started freshman year of Highschool, and all the love/heartbreak and overall awkwardness of coming of age, at that time really resonated with me lyrically as a break-up song. "The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again" meaning to me at the time, as someone who no longer is in love, and trying to move through that, and to go through that pain, to "open my heart again" to love.
As the years progress, and having kids of my own this song has completely changed meanings, looking at your child seeing that innocent being, who depends on you, and who needs one to "open their heart again" to be there for their needs, and to show them unconditional love. In the process to completely recognize your own past childhood and what I as a kid needed, it's really a powerful song in that light - "Without the skin
Beneath the storm
Under these tears
The walls came down
And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade" having a pure innocent being who 100% needs their parent to let their guard down. Children are wonderful, unconditional love beings.
This was the song that got me down the TOOL rabbit hole. I'm sure glad it did!
My fav Tool song, been waiting for this- nice work!
finally!!! this is my fav tool song…so glad you finally did it.such a great video!!
One of my favorite Tool songs.
one of my favourites of tool
YES!!!THANK YOU FOR THIS, H was my favorite for ever, as I've grown older and life happens, Lateralus has become my new favorite, but H still hold a special place in my heart always
Easily my favorite album of theirs; my friend showed me them through his collection of their music videos he had on dvd, and I was easily sold on their material. Thanks for covering and showing us what you think about it. This track is probably my favorite so its fun to see that as well
I think this is my favorite Tool song but I might say that about a lot of Tool songs. Lol
The opening fuzz Bass is so cathartic and soothing all at the same time.
I love your videos!! to see the genuine appreciation of such great artists/songwriters is amazing.
This was the first song that got me into Tool back in the day.
What an awesome TOOL song to cover Geebz!! I concur with some of the other sentiment expressed here that "H" is a very underrated song and one that deserves a proper breakdown by you!
Looks like you were digging this one brother.
Geebz dude I told you on instagram I was so stoked to see this song, this is my favourite tool song, the sound of the bass in the intro gives me butterflies because it sounds so wonderful to me, thank you so much for choosing this song!!!
you are now my cool grampa that i jam with while drinking coffee in the morning
I've listened to Tool for 20 years or so, and while I never skipped this song, it wasn't one that I'd skip to either. Then I had my daughter in 2018, and knowing that this one was written around the anxiety Maynard had around his past ("the snake behind me hisses...") and his commitment to his newborn child ("my blood before me begs me..."), I learned the lyrics and sang it to her every night. I still do, and she sings along now, and asks for it in the car. This has become one of my favorites, and kind of a meditation for me with my children at bedtime. Nothing crazy, nothing overly complex, but simple, beautiful, heartfelt lyrics and great as always composition.
This is the song that got me into Tool 20+ years ago. It was my favorite for a long time, until they gave me 10 other favorites. Deep love for this song.
One of my fav Tool songs 👌🏼
I love this channel, thanks so much. Someone else finally mentions the Police influence on this album. It’s subtle until you notice it.
I can never truly pick a favorite TOOL song, but if I ever have to ponder the question this song "H." is always tossed around in that juggling act
You hear at the end the fade out with that scratchy record player sound. That leads into a short interlude track that flows right into forty six & 2. You compare the timing and composition of this track to forty six & 2, that because they kinda come together on the album.
That album has a wonderful way of bringing a number of tracks together to tell a bigger story which is often missed if you only listen to a handful of songs or have it on shuffle.
oooh! that sound! so good! these riffs and melodies! so good! that drum! so good! what a song! what a band! aaawright!
Bought the headset, didn’t go through amazon, went through a local store, supporting local businesses during COVID lockdown in Australia. Thank you for the info, great headset.
This is my favorite Tool song. I love your feedback on Maynard's work!
The song that got me hooked on Tool and always held a special place in my heart. Then, almost twenty years later, after my daughter was born the song took on a whole new meaning. Can hardly get through it without tearing up, but I don't mind.
Bruh completely off topic, but I'm currently 2 months clean from a ten year Tobacco addiction. I haven't felt this mentally and emotionally clear since I was a child..! 😍
Lol, anyway..! Onto another fantastic video from you..! 🤙👽
I love listening to what you have to say in your videos. I do far have only watched your tool reactions. I like radio head as well and heard you mention they were on the list that week. I will check that out next. Thank you for breaking the music down the way you do. Keep it up!
Such a beautiful song
