Keep on your TOOL journey! We’ll follow.
One of the best rock songs ever written. Nothing more to say.
Word
Double word.
Triple word
Facts
Tool: ”feel connected”
Swedish internet: lol
I have been listening to this song for 20 years and the end of this song still gives me chills.
Cool
TOOL is a once in a lifetime band like Zep and Floyd. There is no comparison.
This was my first live experience with Tool (2001) and it was amazing. It sounded exactly the same as the album. Maynard's vocals were totally on point.
They actually started their tour in California, then came to New Zealand, then nine months later they returned at the end of their world tour.
Cool!
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🔥👍🤪
Love your Tool reviews! “Right in two” is a good one to do next.
Cheers from Michigan, USA!
Wait till you figure out this song is based off of the Fibonacci sequence
Yeah, it kinda goes up and down of it.. If I remember correctly the workin title of this song was 987.
Song's main theme features successive time signatures 9/8, 8/8, and 7/8. The number 987 is the sixteenth integer of the Fibonacci sequence. :P
Black (1)
then (1)
white are (2)
all I see (3)
in my infancy (5)
Red and yellow then came to be, (8)
reaching out to me (5)
Lets me see (3)
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13)
Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8)
Push the envelope, (5)
watch it bend (3)
And then in the next time it changes:
Black (1)
then (1)
white are (2)
all I see (3)
in my infancy (5)
Red and yellow then came to be, (8)
reaching out to me (5)
Lets me see (3)
There is so much more (And) beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities (21)
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13)
Drawn outside the lines of reason (8)
Push the envelope, (5)
watch it bend (3)
If you liked it the first time, you will love it by the fifth. Tool songs grow on you with every listen.
Thanks!
Tool was a strange band for me to grasp as well during the time that Lateralus was released. For me, my own immaturity kept me from appreciating them the way I do 15 years later. In my own opinion, of course, Lateralus is the best album ever recorded. Regardless of genre
Emotions are complicated, in my opinion Tool expresses this accordingly. Life is a roller coaster, sometimes up, sometimes down, And sometimes spinning out of control. Tool for life.
I agree so much with your Roller Coaster idea I actually wrote a song about it: ruclips.net/video/i0oL9PEnPz8/видео.html
I hope you pull up the lyrics when listening to Tool. I'm going to let another Tool army genius explain the math in that song in the lyrics. It's pretty cool. One thing for sure is every Tool song is a grower as it's really too much to take in one listen. I had to laugh when you said you like simple. I could not be more opposite from you as a closet drummer.. LOL! Peace from WA USA. Oh, and do Right in two from Tool with lyrics. You will not believe how relevant that song is today!
Lateralus is a pure Tool Master Piece or How to use Math in Music ... Adam Jones he is what i called a modern Guitarist capable of a such big creativity in term of sound and time signature so put Danny , Justin and Adam together and here is Tool ... and Maynard takes you in a trip He is a Genius ... Why do we like Tool We cannot explain ... We experiment Tool ... it is a rabbit hole ... We just have to be ready for the Journey ...
Tool is an experience.....if that makes sense. If it makes you uncomfortable....then it’s doing what it’s supposed to. Tool is an incredibly intelligent band. They are not like anyone else. Embrace the feelings you’re getting. Let them sit with you. Tool is life changing. Tool still takes me places and I’ve been a fan since the 90s.
Thanks!
You know it's a Tool song when you have to listen to it dozens of times to get the head bobbing down
Listened to your music surprised never heard of u. You guys are awesome and I know all music. Got a new fan. Hello from Chicago
Thanks, glad you liked it 👍🏻
What I like about Tool, is that they know there's infinite possibilities on how to deliver a message and use all tools available flawlessly, regarding the capabilities of each sound that each instrument can produce. I can say I'm a simple man too, just in a different way, because for me, they are simply making you feel the message with the all the music rather than with just the vocals, and I simply don't care if I'm moving my head on time, because what matters is that I'm moving it just the way it makes me feel, decoding the message in my own way, with my free will... And that's always the right thing to do, regardless of time signatures! Greetings and hope you keep going with that journey! =)
Thanks for giving Tool a good run. Please react to Descending off their new album 👌
Thanks 👍🏻
One of my favorites. Gives me chills everytime
You said you never relax because you don't know what is next. I think this is a classic case of allowing yourself to give in to the music and trust it. The best analogy I can give would be a Chinese finger trap, the harder you pull your fingers the tighter the trap becomes, but it you go against your initial urge and just relax your fingers, they slide right out. Just allow you body and brain to go on the ride. Tool did all the work, all you have to do is just experience it with an open and relaxed mind free of predetermined assumptions on what think it will be. Spoiler alert, it almost never ends up as you think it will in my experiences.
And just a quick follow up, I think this holds true in a lot of aspects of life.
Thanks!
It has a mellow flow, even in the more intense parts.
I had a hard time getting into it too. The music is complicated and requires your full attention. Hard to explain but the more you listen to it the more it draws you in.
Yeah, I believe you. Kinda the same feeling I have. I have one foot on and one out.
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 - I would suggest to ease into it. The more accessible songs to start with are: The Pot (which you did), Vicarious, 46&2, Aenima, H, Stinkfist, and Eulogy. Stay away from live or lyric videos (the Grudge was a bad one for you). And what ever you do, DO NOT listen to Third Eye, Jambi, Rosetta Stoned. These are awesome songs but hard to listen on the first try as they are very prog.
Part of the reason of the “unable to relax” might be due to this song being written around fibonaci’s numerical sequence. Hard to explain, you can google it. It’s wild how they wrote an entire song around it....up until the very end they did a small change.....best song ending of all time in my opinion
It was a coincidence.
Maynard said in an interview that it wasn’t
@@Burkhimself you're both right: the syllabic pattern of the lyrics intentionally follows Fibonacci's sequence in parts. The meter shifts from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8 and a lot of super fans read into this as 987 (or the 16th number in the sequence) but Danny has stated that part is merely a coincidence
Cheers friend! 🤟🤙
Cheers 😊👍🏻
i know what you mean, but my friend, life is not simple. nor is it random; life is full of endless depth and complex meaning and tool helps us explore these depths
Lol this is the song I mentioned during your last reaction. It's a math thing and it's very cool how they do it, and it's not over done and lame. Good video man, glad your digging tool.
Haha nice to see you here man! Cheers 🙏🏼
Thanks 👍🏻 I suck at math
Don’t get lost in the myth, the hype, they rock !! Great vocals , amazing musicians. Ignore the “genre” label.
Tool has earned the category that i have named " Progressive Mental Alternative "
I definitely get what you are saying about the simple side of music...these guys are basically the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I’ve always said I had to train my ear in the beginning to fully appreciate these guys. The stuff is so dense it takes multiple listens to fully lock it in, so I’d go back and give some of the tracks a listen again down the road, they make it worth the effort in my humble opinion. As a musician yourself there is definitely something to be learned by throwing Tool into the rotation. Descending is more straightforward and traditional but it’s a long one, you’ll likely be drained but it’s worth it IMO haha. Or if you want something that hits hard and direct try Vicarious. Either way, you keep doing you man, great channel!
Thank you! Yeah I'm confused on my own stance on Tool.
Here's an analogy, you've had a diet of takeaway all your life and then sit down to a gourmet banquet, you're just not used to it and can't digest it, it takes some time to adjust.
here we go!
Love it when the reactor is 3x louder than the music they are reacting to.
Great! I aim to please.
A rock band above all !!
The best band of my lifetime!! We all have different opinions, all's good.
The members(no pun intended) of Tool are all outstanding musicians, so that's a given. Lyrically though, I think they are just so thought and emotion provoking. If you were to have started listening from their first stuff until more recent, they've certainly had a bit of an arc themselves. I can only imagine how intriguing this band would be if I had never heard them before. Enjoy the journey. Whatever path you take.
Thanks 👍🏻
You are moved when you listen to this music- even though you tend to be more deeply moved by things when they are conveyed simply.
I think I have the answer…
The complexity of other bands may seem trite or forced...
But this... this is complexity with depth. This is complexity with meaning.
*This* is the complexity you’ve been waiting for. It’s the reason musicologists of the future will study Tool as a *genre*
Thanks!
Lateralus is really progressive. You should read something about how this song was written. It's unbelievable that something so complex and with so many layers, could still be so musical. If you tell to an average musician to compose a track following all those rules you get only a lot of noise.
Yeah I'm a simple listener but I still was taken on a journey.
If you listen again, read the lyrics. It may open a new door.
Thanks!
You absolutely must do Ænema, Invincible, Pnuema and Descending. 4 of the all-time greatest Tool songs.
all tool songs are amazing, i would add any song to the top 10
Check out Eulogy or Bottom if you haven’t already.
Peace friend!
💪🤘✌️
Definitely give another listen with lyrics.
Descending.
Try Disposition - Reflection - Triad! A monumental work
Tool is all about going back to basics and building it up
If Jinjer is too complicated for you too enjoy TOOL will make your head explode!
In progressive music there's always a beat to follow somewhere; usually a somewhat steady high hat, tom, or bass (or even the bass guitar if that's setting the beat), you just have to find it. You'll never get it on the first listen; prog is always something you have to consume over and over again until it becomes a part of you.
I see. Thanks
Tool are their own category of music. Don't think about labels.
...must...lable...tool... 😁
A Rock band, just four guys rocking the hell out. Simple
Nice reaction, son!!!
Thanks, kid!!!
Don't worry about the math and just enjoy the masterpiece
Yeah I wouldn't understand it if I tried.
So much myth and hype around four musicians !!
Tool is timeless
Look for the Fibonacci Sequence in Lateralus
I'm too stupid.
After you hear it (or any of their songs) a few times you will settle into a grove.
Danny, may I suggest a theory? Even though ProgRock isn't your thing, Tool gives you pause...of course they do!
Perhaps...maybe...just maybe....it's because you realize that they are unlike anything you've ever heard before?
And...they are better at this than you and I will ever be at anything?
Again...just spitballing here.
Nah 😊
I'm pretty drawn to "challenging" music, but I would still consider Tool simple in some sense. The complexity is not as advertised as some other music, and I think a lot of people enjoy Tool without considering it complex. It's more of a behind the scene thing. And they have surely opted for rhythmical complexity rather than harmonically, so it doesn't seem to be their goal to "wow" their audience.
You should try Invincible or descending next!
Surrender to the journey.
Tool is one band where all their songs are good, but every album is just better than the one before.
Is Lateralus a Latin word ? What does it mean?
You did better than most, with your first alliteration of "Laterus" < which is how many reactors pronounce it
Thanks 👍🏻
Parabol/parabola next time 💯
Oh wait! I had not liked this video?! o_O;
My bad, corrected that now. :)
Anyone ever tell you that you look like a young Tommy Lee?
Hmm, not sure.
First
09:50 - I guess you are using Telia and they are notoriously bad with RUclips. Everything else works fine, speedtest does not show any issues to any server in anywhere in the word but YT just does not load. Some rumours around the internets that I found few years back when it was even worse stated that the negotiations with Telia and some other company that has something to do with YT connections are not going well which causes Telia not getting as much bandwith which then leads to buffering issues.
Seems a bit far fetched, but since all issues are with YT, plausable.
And no, this issue has not started with this CoV-crisis, this has been going on for ten years. :D
With my previous ISP I had only 50meg connection but never had any buffering issues with YT. Well unless there was a general issue with my connection, that is..
Aha, thanks. We don’t gave Telia. And it only started a few days ago after 3 years of running smoothly 🤔
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 OK.. If you open your command prompt and write a command (without the thingies, of course) "tracert.youtube.com" what does it say? ;D
Not casting shade, maybe Weezer or The Beach Boys are closer to your wheelhouse?
It's kinda shady but that's fine. Not into weezer but beach boys are great But I like a lot of different genres. Maybe not mathmetal so much though.
TOOL is not for the music lover that doesn’t like to think or does not appreciate unconventional time signatures. TOOL is the deepest most thought provoking band of all time. Unfortunately you have to pay attention to the lyrics and how Maynard delivers them. Maybe too sophisticated for most people.
Yeah for me music is about emotion and not really thinking very much.
TOOL is not “Progressive Rock” sorry. TOOL falls into the “Metal” genre but not to just one Metal genre they actually have a genre of their own TOOL is their genre.
Song is based off the Fibonacci, Tool is way deeper then anyone realizes
