i am and have always been a big tool fan i have also had my fair share of struggles in life and just prior to the album release when friends started sending me invincible and telling me it made them think of me that brought tears to my eyes and still does and in a way feel like i just got a new mario star 🌟
I was at that Tool show in Boston where danny's pneuma drum cam was filmed, felt just as legendary seeing it live!! Even more so later when the drum cam vid came out and it happened to be at the show I was at, too cool man.
Watching Tool reactions always makes me happy but dude! Your reaction reminds me so much of my first time listening to this. Will be watching this regularly when I need a boost of joy ❤
Every Tool song creates an arena of sound for sure. Some paper will show you exactly what they are building, and it's some stuff. Also, I think you were closer with Right in Two. The part where the breakdown begins and the guitar breaks free from the rest of the band is very similar in those two. I think after this song, you will go back and listen to Adam in a different way. He is masterful at his craft and controls everything.
You're right about that! Ever since this song, I've been paying much more attention to the guitar in TOOL. Ironic since I'm a guitarist first and foremost
Great breakdown, the music is up in ur face and Maynard slips in the cracks to fill it all in, fill in the brick wall as u said. All music is written first and given to Maynard and then he crafts the lyrics to the instrumental to form the final product. Keep it up bro, ur great at this
Great anology! He finds a little tiny pocket in a massive wall of sound, it's mindblowing. I really dig his approach within this band, whereas he doesn't want to be "seen" as the frontman and instead wants the other musicians to get most of the shine.
@@samuraikaito totally agree. Often in concert he is lurking towards the back of the stage and often behind a screen. Their music is just an assault on ur senses. I often feel exhausted after a song, more so when u listen to an album straight thru.
This is a good one. I'm familiar with the band name but don't think I've ever heard of anything. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to get to this within the next couple of weeks!
You like classics and funky stuff.... Stevie Wonder “Superstitious” is a GREAT one to dive into. (And thanks in advance for any Tool you do. They are my all-time favorite)
Thanks in advance for the support! Love that song, wouldn't mind reacting to it though! Stevie has become one of my favorites in the past couple of years.
I loved your explanation of Adam’s place in the sound. It really is like the atmospheric part that rounds out the rest of it. He’s their Ray Manzarek in a sense that you hear him, you immediately know it’s TOOL, just like You hear Ray’s keys and you know instantly know it’s the Doors.
That is probably the epitome of a distinct keyboardist. I can hear Riders on the Storm keyboard solo as I'm typing this! A surreal landscape. I'd like to do some The Doors on this channel. Have heard a couple albums and all of their big songs, but never dove too deep.
@@samuraikaito One of my absolute favorites is When The Music's Over. Would love to see your reaction to that. Be prepared, it's almost 11 minutes long (like Tool's music, haha).
Love your thoughts and I'm the same in that I love tool but have always had to have a few listens before I really got into a track and liked it. Now I have heard them all thousands of times but hear new things through other reactions or points of view. An old school band which get little to no love but is a gem of a 90s rock band (even though they are still playing now) are therapy? I would love to see a reaction on either a couple of their short songs, 'die laughing' or 'screamager' or longer songs like 'me vs you' or 'a moment of clarity'
Glad you enjoyed it! TOOL is definitely an acquired taste imo but once you "get it" it's like the music sucks you in completely. Never heard of Therapy but I'll check them out! Thanks for the support.
Great reaction, the Drums are phenomenal, more Tool that you haven't heard. Suggestions : Violent Femmes: Never Tell, Country Death Song or Black Girls....Bahaus: Bela Lugosi's Dead....Grand Funk Railroad: Inside Looking Out (live performance a must)....Deep Purple: Child in Time... All the best to you ✌️
🙌🏽Awesome. These will keep me busy for a while lmao. I think I may have heard the DP song, everything else I've never heard of so thank you for the many suggestions.
@@samuraikaito thanks for the reply. Even if you don't do a reaction they're worth checking out. I know I gave a bunch, it was difficult to keep it to that few lol. Hope you do well with your channel.
I actually just got this one a couple weeks ago. It's a wonderful bass! (coming from a guitarist). Incredibly versatile due to passive/active pickups and being able to switch each pick up from single coil to humbucker. It also feels fantastic on the hands. From my POV it's a killer instrument for the value.
@@samuraikaito Pisces by Jinger Live studio recording first, then Teacher, Teacher!(Rap/Hip hop vibe) Then they Judgement & Punishment has a Reggie vibe then Perinial live at Wacken. Thanks🙏🏼
I've been listening to Tadow for years, that one is a classic. I've heard a few Paak songs but I'm not sure about that one. The first one is surely added to the list 👌🏽
@@samuraikaitoSWEET! That's the one I was hoping you'd get to! Paolo Nutini is a hidden gem man. He's a Scottish artist that has a distinctive soul sound. The band he has behind him at Abbey Road Studios sound amazing and has every single member sitting right in their pocket. I could honestly say so much more about these 6 mins of musical mastery, but I will let your ears have their own listen and their own opinion. Look forward to you hearing it man!
@@wordsmyth5979 Bro. Iron Sky was incredible. I just finished my reaction to it and had to come let you know asap.. What an incredible tune. Wow. I'll try to get it uploaded today but this was an amazing recommendation, thank you!
You had me at TOOL. For jazz - how about the Hiromi Trio Project. Awesome stuff there. Always up for more rock and metal. SOAD would be great or any of Serj Tankian’s solo stuff. Thanks.
Hiromi is Japanese. I have seen her live and she is a spitfire. Try “Alive” for the Trio Project. ruclips.net/video/kR8HinFaQhk/видео.html. For Serj, try “Sky is Over”. Cheers!
so, i think the term you are looking for, considering they play all that shit, is talent, . they way they just put it directly in front of your face, it's talent.
i love your reactions just got done with descending and before one note i can't wait to see your face at the end of the SOLOOOOOOOO 🖤🖤🖤🖤 you ever listen to corrosion of conformity or down?
Enjoying vid, keep it up Samurai 🙏. Life must be "just" that - LIFE. Next one from Tool Descending pls. If you wanna try something different, a beat which also inspires our Danny, something more spiritual, I would recommend Indian band "Sounds of Isha", Velliangiri one of my favorite song. Spiral out 🙂🧘♂️
Incredible! I love music from foreign countries, especially from the east. I find that their complex scales and music theory are much more "in-tune" with the human experience. They are very knowledgable in that aspect and you can hear the translation within their music. I will surely check that out. Descending also added to the list 👌🏽 Feel like I may have heard that one but I don't remember it. Thank you so much for the support! Spiral out.
That guitar on the right side of the screen reminds me of Porcupine Tree and especially the live video for "Arriving somewhere but not here". If you don't know of it here's a link: ruclips.net/video/W3lsqUqGTzM/видео.html
Amen brother. Do an in-depth engineering reaction to Dogs. No one will fault you for having heard it before. For many of your viewers--it will be their first.
Have not heard either. However, someone else suggested Descending so I may do that one today! The other one is added to the queue. Thanks for the subscribe!
@@samuraikaito fantastic! You will not be disappointed. While I love 7empest, Descending is more of a Prog rock song and all 4 members of the band are so impressive. Culling Voices will through you for a loop as it’s not your typical Tool song, but beautiful guitar work and sound. I’m looking forward to your reactions!
@@samuraikaito should def go for official video aswell, the production is spectacular. They are 3 piece metal group similar to Tu and Sepeltura as alot of their songs are sung in their native language in New Zealand, Maori.
Try something by Steven Wilson! Not just Porcupine Tree but his solo stuff. Something like Home Invasion/Regret #9 off of the Hand. Cannot. Erase. album. That whole album is amazing and sounds just as great. As a producer I think you would appreciate it.
The only current bands that come close to TOOL I think are Radiohead (which leave you speechless live, but for my taste they are a bit "slow" in the albums) and Opeth (complex and perfect in the execution, which however I have never seen live and for my taste they are a bit hard)
Mannnn you know what... I've tried soooo many times to get into Radiohead. Kid A, OK Computer and even another album I think. It never resonated with me for some reason. Maybe I'm not listening at the right time lol idk. I have a similar sentiment about Opeth, heard a couple songs and they are a bit too heavy for what I usually enjoy. Always willing to give it another go though. Maybe they have some less intense songs? If I recall correctly, the songs I'd heard were very death-metal, which is not my kind of thing.
@@samuraikaito I can't get into Radiohead either. However, Opeth's last 4 albums are clean vocals & magnificent and now PROGRESSIVE ROCK! In Cauda Venenum (English version), and Sorceress, Pale Communion & Heritage are the album names. They're on my daily playlist. There isn't a bad track on either album IMO. Maybe you'll give them a try sometime. All 'Things Will Pass' might be a good one to start with. How one band can make such epic music every single time is astounding. I'm so happy I didn't give up on them when I heard them for the first time via a reaction video and there was growling. I turned it off real fast. But now, 6 to 8 months later and a lot of listening to clear vocal albums first, I can finally say, ALL of their work/albums are in my playlist. And I still can't get enough... RUclips interviews, Mickael's concert banter, full concert videos, you name it and I'm there. 😁 Mikael Åkerfeldt/vocals, writer, lead guitar, overall master of everything he does. Fredrik Åkesson also lead guitar Martin Mendez - bass Joakim Svalberg- keyboard
Victor is the man! I'm not hugely familiar with his work but I have heard his Amazing Grace solo. I love "U Can't Hold No Groove" and his "Isn't She Lovely" rendition. If you have others, feel free to recommend!
@@samuraikaito if you can find the video of the song Big Country from the performance Live at the Quick. Victor does some fantastic call and response “musical communication” with sax player Jeff Coffin. As an improvisational musician this recording is one of most favorite musical moments. The song Rhythms of Hope by Jean Luc Ponty has and epic bass solo, check it out
@@samuraikaito I was lucky enough to have seen Victor twice with Bela Fleck and 3 times with his brothers Joseph (also Steve Miller's tour keyboardist) and Regi "the teacher" Wooten. Check out some of those vids and you'll see that Victors skill was hugely influenced by his older brothers.
Certainly complex. However, TOOL is very organic about it imo. Whereas some prog can be borderline obnoxious just for the sake of complexity. Often times that ruins it for me. I've never heard a TOOL song that sounds that way, which is why they're at the top for me. I'd really appreciate the sub! I'll be uploading several videos per week. Sadly, I have a full time job and I do all the recording, editing myself along with my personal music endeavors so I will keep a balance between all. Thank you for your support either way!
Thanks for the suggestion! Any specific songs you recommend from Opiate or Aenima? I've heard a couple songs from the latter project but not most. Don't think I've heard anything from their first project.
I really hope this doesn't fall on blond eyes, but I heard that you were open to all types of music? Before I get too deep into it, how would you feel about reacting to Dubstep/Electronic music? I know, I know, I've been told every excuse in the book from other reactors that purposely reject dubstep or simply see my comment, like it, then proceed to continue with what they're doing. I'm sure by now that you have tons of requests already lined up, but if you're up for a brand new experience to a genre with guidance, I'll be more than willing to subscribe to you and mention any version of dubstep you can imagine. Understandably, I'm not going to really get any support from others as they would be just as new to everything as you would be, but I just want to see what 1 song in the genre could do for people with your type of background.
How did I end up here? Well, I love Tool, I love watching reaction videos to music I like as I basically get to listen to it for the first time all over again, you showed up on my recommended list and I enjoyed your reaction specifically. Not to mention the ones that react to dubstep either don't post much at all or they've listened to everything already. I don't want to take over your channel or even say that my request should be fulfilled first, I simply ask for an opportunity.
I really liked your comment, Noah. You seem really humble and that's a trait I look for in others. I will be honest, I've never enjoyed much electronic music. Got a few friends that are into it and they've showed me some songs, unfortunately I haven't heard something that I would see myself listening to aside from a party or something. But I am always willing to give it a shot! Did a black metal reaction which is way outside of my comfort zone & didn't enjoy it much but I liked the experience of hearing something new. Feel free to comment a song or two & I will try to get to it as soon as possible! Thank you for the support.
@@samuraikaito Oh wow, thanks a lot! Well, if you're up to try it again, allow me to categorize your options based on how fast paced and chaotic it can get. Scaled 1-10 (1 being calm and easy to follow while still being dubstep, 10 being highest energy music you'll hear in your life), here are some suggestions you can pick and choose later, and I'll even provide a bit of detail with each pick. A lot of my favorites aren't even on this list, that's how widespread I'm trying to make these suggestions: 1 - Space Laces - D.A.W. While this will never be considered a calm song if you take it out of the genre, I believe this is a very easy song for a beginner to get into (headphone warning at the beginning) and also I love Space Laces, this is not his style typically but he does a really good job here. 2 - Apashe - Behind My Eyes (ft. LIA) Apashe literally creates supervillain music using nothing but dubstep sounds and an orchestra, but that's not what this is. I gave you something with lyrics here as there's a lot more songs without lyrics in the genre and that turns many away from listening to it. 3 - MONXX (ft. P Money) - World of Wonk Monxx has been one of my favorite artists for the last 5 years with his style. He understands his style is wonky and embraces it, and that mentality got some of my friends who don't even like music to enjoy his songs (headphone warning at the beginning). I changed the song last second from TUNNEL to this one because I realized that there wasn't going to be many songs after this one that had song lyrics, but I'm fine if you listen to either one. 4 - Funtcase ft. Merky Ace - 4 Barz of Fury This one wants to be so many different genres at once, yet Funtcase (real name Max) makes it very smooth (headphone warning at the beginning). 5 - Excision & Dion Timmer - Necromancer This is where we reach danger zone levels beyond this point for a typical music listener (headphone warning at the beginning). I'll be really curious to see if you pick anything below this point. Excision is one of the originals of the genre, helping it grow BEFORE Skrillex was widely known. And Dion Timmer is like his personal apprentice since 2014 when Dion would've been a young teen. 6 - OG Nixin - Problem Solver I had to include the Samurai Bass master for Samurai Kaito lol. This one could be higher, but I decided to put it here as there was more time to settle down and reflect with a good piano melody in this one than in the ones below it. 7 - Spag Heddy - DOJO One word comes to mind when I think of Spag Heddy: Fun. And with this song he will take the same rhythm and change it into like 5 different sounding drops in under 4 minutes. 8 - Dr. Ozi - Play It Back Again Dr. Ozi is one of the most creative artists in the genre, and as you listen to his songs, they get more and more intense as they continue (similar to Tool), and this one is a prime example of that, only this song already started out intense. 😳 9 - MARAUDA & YAKZ - PULVERIZE One of, if not, my favorite mosh pit songs! I had to throw something like this on the list and it's very fun to just throw your body around like a ragdoll while you listen to it. 10 - Nitepunk - Absolute Zero This song is the ultimate car chase song. Fast paced, intense, you hardly know when the drop ends and when it begins again and it's like this the entire time! It's got the most unique drop to it on top of that as well, it keeps the drum pattern from the build up and rolls with it which in my 7 years of being in the genre I've never heard of before or since!
^ Ian answered this one. My pair is the HD650 (which are wonderful). I heard the 600's sound very similar (never listened to them) and I believe the headband is black instead of grayish
I far prefer Tool's approach to mixing vocals. They're mixed as any other instrument in the band rather than so obnoxiously in front that you can't tell what the rest of the band is doing.
I've heard a few of their albums. Epitaph is one of my favorites songs ever, had no idea TOOL got inspiration for this song from KC, I will surely add that to the list. Thanks!
10:30 - They are humans, they do make mistakes. ;) But Tool-mistakes are few and far apart. Here's one, well actually two-in-one but hey. This just proves that they are just human and almost anyone, with enough practise, could achieve their level (in techical point of view, not in creativity). ruclips.net/video/4lQv51wo3aA/видео.html
I enjoyed listening to Tool, and your reaction, but frankly it was the reaction of a fan or layman--not that of a sound/music engineer. I was expecting a more technical approach to the reaction, not wow that's good.
@@samuraikaito Thanks for responding. I saw on another one of your videos someone complained you got too technical--looks like you can't win. ;o) I'm sure there is a happy medium somewhere. Check out Charismatic Voice. She's a voice coach and does a good job of balancing just commenting on the music with getting technical in her evaluation of how the vocals are done. She's not hard on the eyes either. Keep 'em coming. My I recommend another progressive group--Pink Floyd. "Animals" would be great subject matter for a sound engineer.
@@pokey5428 I should be the one thanking you guys! Haha but can't please everyone, I'm just glad most people are enjoying the content. I'll check her out though. Maybe I can learn some tips from her lol. But oh how I'd love to experience PF again for the first time. They were both of my parents' fav band and turned out to be mine as well. I think all of their 70's albums are some of the best albums ever recorded, minus AHM maybe 😅I think Animals is their magnum opus in terms of production and engineering. Mind blowing stuff. I listen to Dogs at least once a month.
@@DeathPenny Haha my response wasn't meant to come off as rude man.. but hey you're right. I'm trying to get the hang of making these videos and trying to make them A LOT shorter. They are coming out incredibly long.
I think you should check out some Aussie metal, Karnivool, Cog, Butterfly effect and maybe something heavier like Parkway drive. I suggest starting with Goliath from Karnivool.

i am a 63 year old English guy and i love this band. my son introduced me to them about 7 years ago. never looked back , best band i ever heard , :)
Invincible will also give you chills
i am and have always been a big tool fan i have also had my fair share of struggles in life and just prior to the album release when friends started sending me invincible and telling me it made them think of me that brought tears to my eyes and still does and in a way feel like i just got a new mario star 🌟
Descending is my personal fav. i wish more people knew about that particular song.
I was at that Tool show in Boston where danny's pneuma drum cam was filmed, felt just as legendary seeing it live!! Even more so later when the drum cam vid came out and it happened to be at the show I was at, too cool man.
Took a friend to that show, her first. 🤘🏽
Incredible! That's a story to tell for sure
No matter how amazingly the rest of the band play I find it impossible to ignore Danny Carey.
After 3 year... straight into 7emest!!! Whoooo !! 💪

You're right about that! Ever since this song, I've been paying much more attention to the guitar in TOOL. Ironic since I'm a guitarist first and foremost
You're absolutely right about maynards vocals and I think for most of tool fans it's all about instrumentals of tool which we enjoy the most.
It's so true that it takes a few listens to fully appreciate this band...you get distracted for a few seconds and you might miss something crazy
Isn't it amazing that, regardless of which party is in office--Animals has them nailed? Dogs is just as relevant now as it was in the 70s.
Danny Carey is just awsome .
Great breakdown, the music is up in ur face and Maynard slips in the cracks to fill it all in, fill in the brick wall as u said. All music is written first and given to Maynard and then he crafts the lyrics to the instrumental to form the final product. Keep it up bro, ur great at this

That was a great ride with you. What a song!! sub!
First time hearing as well? That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as me!
"Jet City Woman" by Queensryche. Outstanding hard rock song, but none of the reactors ever do it for some reason.
This is a good one. I'm familiar with the band name but don't think I've ever heard of anything. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to get to this within the next couple of weeks!
@@samuraikaito That would be cool. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
I second this tune. So, so good.
Man, IDK. That live rendition of "Take Hold Of The Flame" is pretty damn epic too.
@@sgenetti77 Yes, that's one of the best live performances I've seen online. Tate's vocals are incredible.
I've watched the Vic Firth video a couple hundred times, you're not alone in that lol.
Meccamputechture by The Mars Volta #please
It's incredible, wish they'd do more of those. I will that to the list! Thanks for the support and suggestion
At least 400x lmao. I bet one of thee most reacted to videos
That damn video cost me a lot of money. Korg wave drum, Center mount cable driven hi hat. I completely rearrange my kit because of that video
Thoughtful.. liked it.

Sometimes drummer will tune to a scale/key. Creates melodic harmony when playing fills.
Subscribed a moment after “…the wall of sound…”. Great video.
Yo bro it's my birthday today thanks for getting your mind blown by Tool once again.
Happy belated birthday man. Thanks for the support and the suggestions, I will add these to my list!

@@JarodTaylor Added to the list! Long songs are no problem for me, I'm used to listening to 20 minute Pink Floyd songs on the regular 😂

I want that bass guitar. Been looking to upgrade my studio bass and that's one I've been looking at.

Incredibly versatile due to passive/active pickups and being able to switch each pick up from single coil to humbucker. It also feels fantastic on the hands.

É fantástico não é? Um abraço de Portugal
Adam Jones- lead guitar, Justin Chancelor-Bass, Maynard James Keenan- Vocals. Hope his helps 😁

You and me both brother
Progressive, funky jazz suggestions:
Paolo Nutini- Iron Sky(Abbey Road live session)
Masego- Tadow

I believe you would be blown away with the band Boston. Check out foreplay/long time. It is from Boston’s first album.
Enjoying vid, keep it up Samurai 🙏. Life must be "just" that - LIFE. Next one from Tool Descending pls. If you wanna try something different, a beat which also inspires our Danny, something more spiritual, I would recommend Indian band "Sounds of Isha", Velliangiri one of my favorite song. Spiral out 🙂🧘♂️
Incredible! I love music from foreign countries, especially from the east. I find that their complex scales and music theory are much more "in-tune" with the human experience. They are very knowledgable in that aspect and you can hear the translation within their music. I will surely check that out. Descending also added to the list 👌🏽 Feel like I may have heard that one but I don't remember it. Thank you so much for the support! Spiral out.
@@samuraikaito Sounds of Isha band members are actually international, so you will certainly feel world fusion atop Indian base. 🙏
@@milosvitin I will be doing Descending today, as that one has had several requests. Will eventually do Sounds of Isha as well!
Tool is Good for You! Thanks 🤙
🙌🏽
That guitar on the right side of the screen reminds me of Porcupine Tree and especially the live video for "Arriving somewhere but not here". If you don't know of it here's a link:

Amen brother. Do an in-depth engineering reaction to Dogs. No one will fault you for having heard it before. For many of your viewers--it will be their first.
"Who was dragged down by the stone!" That would be awesome to do tbh, one of my all time fav songs. Say less brother, this may have to be done 😎
Have you heard Descending and/or Culling Voices off of Fear Inoculum?
Have not heard either. However, someone else suggested Descending so I may do that one today! The other one is added to the queue. Thanks for the subscribe!
@@samuraikaito fantastic! You will not be disappointed. While I love 7empest, Descending is more of a Prog rock song and all 4 members of the band are so impressive. Culling Voices will through you for a loop as it’s not your typical Tool song, but beautiful guitar work and sound. I’m looking forward to your reactions!
@@samuraikaito Descending is a masterwork. Four masters of their craft at the peak of their powers.
And of course all of the perfect circle is really good too but just give puscifer a try. Existential Reckoning
tempest is an intense point to start at. the grudge. the pot maybe even 46&2
Yeah that was quite a ride. Sadly tho, I've heard all of these several times. I wouldn't mind reacting to songs I'm already familiar with though.
It's Maynard's 3rd band
Definitely have to check out Kai Tangata by Alien Weaponry. Unbelievable New Zealand band 🇳🇿🇳🇿
I love the band name hahah. I'll check them out!
@@samuraikaito should def go for official video aswell, the production is spectacular. They are 3 piece metal group similar to Tu and Sepeltura as alot of their songs are sung in their native language in New Zealand, Maori.
Try something by Steven Wilson! Not just Porcupine Tree but his solo stuff. Something like Home Invasion/Regret #9 off of the Hand. Cannot. Erase. album. That whole album is amazing and sounds just as great. As a producer I think you would appreciate it.
you are clearly flabbergasted by this, as most of us are. 9:34 to 10:37
The only current bands that come close to TOOL I think are Radiohead (which leave you speechless live, but for my taste they are a bit "slow" in the albums) and Opeth (complex and perfect in the execution, which however I have never seen live and for my taste they are a bit hard)
Mannnn you know what... I've tried soooo many times to get into Radiohead. Kid A, OK Computer and even another album I think. It never resonated with me for some reason. Maybe I'm not listening at the right time lol idk. I have a similar sentiment about Opeth, heard a couple songs and they are a bit too heavy for what I usually enjoy. Always willing to give it another go though. Maybe they have some less intense songs? If I recall correctly, the songs I'd heard were very death-metal, which is not my kind of thing.
@@samuraikaito I can't get into Radiohead either.
However, Opeth's last 4 albums are clean vocals & magnificent and now PROGRESSIVE ROCK! In Cauda Venenum (English version), and Sorceress, Pale Communion & Heritage are the album names. They're on my daily playlist. There isn't a bad track on either album IMO. Maybe you'll give them a try sometime. All 'Things Will Pass' might be a good one to start with.
How one band can make such epic music every single time is astounding.
I'm so happy I didn't give up on them when I heard them for the first time via a reaction video and there was growling. I turned it off real fast.
But now, 6 to 8 months later and a lot of listening to clear vocal albums first, I can finally say, ALL of their work/albums are in my playlist. And I still can't get enough... RUclips interviews, Mickael's concert banter, full concert videos, you name it and I'm there. 😁
Mikael Åkerfeldt/vocals, writer, lead guitar, overall master of everything he does.
Fredrik Åkesson also lead guitar
Martin Mendez - bass
Joakim Svalberg- keyboard
Have you ever heard of Victor Wooten? Check out his Amazing Grace Bass Solo. Enjoyed your reaction, Thanks!
Victor is the man! I'm not hugely familiar with his work but I have heard his Amazing Grace solo. I love "U Can't Hold No Groove" and his "Isn't She Lovely" rendition. If you have others, feel free to recommend!
@@samuraikaito if you can find the video of the song Big Country from the performance Live at the Quick. Victor does some fantastic call and response “musical communication” with sax player Jeff Coffin. As an improvisational musician this recording is one of most favorite musical moments. The song Rhythms of Hope by Jean Luc Ponty has and epic bass solo, check it out
@@samuraikaito I was lucky enough to have seen Victor twice with Bela Fleck and 3 times with his brothers Joseph (also Steve Miller's tour keyboardist) and Regi "the teacher" Wooten. Check out some of those vids and you'll see that Victors skill was hugely influenced by his older brothers.
These audios don't get blocked
Subscribed sir, check out the band MGMT- of moons, birds, & monsters. Love tool btw looking forward to seeing more from u
Lots more coming! I remember MGMT back in the 20teens, not too familiar with them so I'll add this to the list. Thanks for the support!
Complex may be the term your looking for their?BTW. I'll sub if you declare full-time for sure
Certainly complex. However, TOOL is very organic about it imo. Whereas some prog can be borderline obnoxious just for the sake of complexity. Often times that ruins it for me. I've never heard a TOOL song that sounds that way, which is why they're at the top for me. I'd really appreciate the sub! I'll be uploading several videos per week. Sadly, I have a full time job and I do all the recording, editing myself along with my personal music endeavors so I will keep a balance between all. Thank you for your support either way!
Welcome to the Rabbit hole
Obligatory Jinjer- Pisces live session RUclips video request. Do not research, just listen. 😁
I think this may be the 4th or 5th request for these guys! Must be the real deal. I shall find out this weekend 😎
You should take a look at Sufjan Stevens impossible soul off the age of adz album. It is a VERY long song tho.
Ok, so you know mid to later Tool. Start at the beginning. Opiate. Go in order.
Or don't, it's tool it's not like picking a random song isnt going to be fire (except for the tracks that go together)
@@MaddSpazz2000 Umm, ok, was just a suggestion. I am now convinced your opinion is better than mine.
@@coreyames9923 lmao wasn't trying to attack your opinion whatsoever
Thanks for the suggestion! Any specific songs you recommend from Opiate or Aenima? I've heard a couple songs from the latter project but not most. Don't think I've heard anything from their first project.
@@samuraikaitothe first song on Opiate is Sweat.
7empest is played in 7.
I really hope this doesn't fall on blond eyes, but I heard that you were open to all types of music? Before I get too deep into it, how would you feel about reacting to Dubstep/Electronic music? I know, I know, I've been told every excuse in the book from other reactors that purposely reject dubstep or simply see my comment, like it, then proceed to continue with what they're doing. I'm sure by now that you have tons of requests already lined up, but if you're up for a brand new experience to a genre with guidance, I'll be more than willing to subscribe to you and mention any version of dubstep you can imagine. Understandably, I'm not going to really get any support from others as they would be just as new to everything as you would be, but I just want to see what 1 song in the genre could do for people with your type of background.
How did I end up here? Well, I love Tool, I love watching reaction videos to music I like as I basically get to listen to it for the first time all over again, you showed up on my recommended list and I enjoyed your reaction specifically. Not to mention the ones that react to dubstep either don't post much at all or they've listened to everything already. I don't want to take over your channel or even say that my request should be fulfilled first, I simply ask for an opportunity.
I really liked your comment, Noah. You seem really humble and that's a trait I look for in others. I will be honest, I've never enjoyed much electronic music. Got a few friends that are into it and they've showed me some songs, unfortunately I haven't heard something that I would see myself listening to aside from a party or something. But I am always willing to give it a shot! Did a black metal reaction which is way outside of my comfort zone & didn't enjoy it much but I liked the experience of hearing something new. Feel free to comment a song or two & I will try to get to it as soon as possible! Thank you for the support.
@@samuraikaito Oh wow, thanks a lot! Well, if you're up to try it again, allow me to categorize your options based on how fast paced and chaotic it can get. Scaled 1-10 (1 being calm and easy to follow while still being dubstep, 10 being highest energy music you'll hear in your life), here are some suggestions you can pick and choose later, and I'll even provide a bit of detail with each pick. A lot of my favorites aren't even on this list, that's how widespread I'm trying to make these suggestions:
1 - Space Laces - D.A.W.
While this will never be considered a calm song if you take it out of the genre, I believe this is a very easy song for a beginner to get into (headphone warning at the beginning) and also I love Space Laces, this is not his style typically but he does a really good job here.
2 - Apashe - Behind My Eyes (ft. LIA)
Apashe literally creates supervillain music using nothing but dubstep sounds and an orchestra, but that's not what this is. I gave you something with lyrics here as there's a lot more songs without lyrics in the genre and that turns many away from listening to it.
3 - MONXX (ft. P Money) - World of Wonk
Monxx has been one of my favorite artists for the last 5 years with his style. He understands his style is wonky and embraces it, and that mentality got some of my friends who don't even like music to enjoy his songs (headphone warning at the beginning). I changed the song last second from TUNNEL to this one because I realized that there wasn't going to be many songs after this one that had song lyrics, but I'm fine if you listen to either one.
4 - Funtcase ft. Merky Ace - 4 Barz of Fury
This one wants to be so many different genres at once, yet Funtcase (real name Max) makes it very smooth (headphone warning at the beginning).
5 - Excision & Dion Timmer - Necromancer
This is where we reach danger zone levels beyond this point for a typical music listener (headphone warning at the beginning). I'll be really curious to see if you pick anything below this point. Excision is one of the originals of the genre, helping it grow BEFORE Skrillex was widely known. And Dion Timmer is like his personal apprentice since 2014 when Dion would've been a young teen.
6 - OG Nixin - Problem Solver
I had to include the Samurai Bass master for Samurai Kaito lol. This one could be higher, but I decided to put it here as there was more time to settle down and reflect with a good piano melody in this one than in the ones below it.
7 - Spag Heddy - DOJO
One word comes to mind when I think of Spag Heddy: Fun. And with this song he will take the same rhythm and change it into like 5 different sounding drops in under 4 minutes.
8 - Dr. Ozi - Play It Back Again
Dr. Ozi is one of the most creative artists in the genre, and as you listen to his songs, they get more and more intense as they continue (similar to Tool), and this one is a prime example of that, only this song already started out intense. 😳
9 - MARAUDA & YAKZ - PULVERIZE
One of, if not, my favorite mosh pit songs! I had to throw something like this on the list and it's very fun to just throw your body around like a ragdoll while you listen to it.
10 - Nitepunk - Absolute Zero
This song is the ultimate car chase song. Fast paced, intense, you hardly know when the drop ends and when it begins again and it's like this the entire time! It's got the most unique drop to it on top of that as well, it keeps the drum pattern from the build up and rolls with it which in my 7 years of being in the genre I've never heard of before or since!
what headphones do you use?
Sennheiser HD….600? Or 650 (I can never tell them apart)
^ Ian answered this one. My pair is the HD650 (which are wonderful). I heard the 600's sound very similar (never listened to them) and I believe the headband is black instead of grayish
Out of the silent planet by King's X
Added to the queue!
Can you react to some APC and Puscifer , For front men , Maynard is the GOAT
It's on the list!
I far prefer Tool's approach to mixing vocals. They're mixed as any other instrument in the band rather than so obnoxiously in front that you can't tell what the rest of the band is doing.
Hit it on the head with this one. All of the instruments (including vocals) are so well-balanced in every song.
If you like this check out King Crimson's Frame by Frame. Its the inspiration for this song.
I've heard a few of their albums. Epitaph is one of my favorites songs ever, had no idea TOOL got inspiration for this song from KC, I will surely add that to the list. Thanks!
try Steele Dan - Can't buy a thrill album any song
Recently heard Aja and I've been eager to hear more SD! I'll add this to the list.
10:30 - They are humans, they do make mistakes. ;)
But Tool-mistakes are few and far apart.
Here's one, well actually two-in-one but hey. This just proves that they are just human and almost anyone, with enough practise, could achieve their level (in techical point of view, not in creativity).
ruclips.net/video/4lQv51wo3aA/видео.html
They are truly a one-of-a-kind band. Incredible in all aspects. I'll check this out as well. Love live performances. Spiral out 🙌🏽
Opeth - Deliverance, steven wilson on production.. enjoy the ride..
Have tried to listen to them a couple of times but not sure if I picked the right songs. This one will definitely get added to the list 😎
I enjoyed listening to Tool, and your reaction, but frankly it was the reaction of a fan or layman--not that of a sound/music engineer. I was expecting a more technical approach to the reaction, not wow that's good.
@@samuraikaito Thanks for responding. I saw on another one of your videos someone complained you got too technical--looks like you can't win. ;o) I'm sure there is a happy medium somewhere. Check out Charismatic Voice. She's a voice coach and does a good job of balancing just commenting on the music with getting technical in her evaluation of how the vocals are done. She's not hard on the eyes either. Keep 'em coming. My I recommend another progressive group--Pink Floyd. "Animals" would be great subject matter for a sound engineer.
@@pokey5428 I should be the one thanking you guys! Haha but can't please everyone, I'm just glad most people are enjoying the content. I'll check her out though. Maybe I can learn some tips from her lol. But oh how I'd love to experience PF again for the first time. They were both of my parents' fav band and turned out to be mine as well. I think all of their 70's albums are some of the best albums ever recorded, minus AHM maybe 😅I think Animals is their magnum opus in terms of production and engineering. Mind blowing stuff. I listen to Dogs at least once a month.
.odd..and multy playing:P
Try to remove the words 'um' or 'uh'
Hahah I'm not the best at public speaking, I guess that sort of translates to video format as well. But I will keep this in mind, thanks!
Yeah...6min 45sec of talking is a bit much before even starting the song lol.
Timestamps are there for a reason
@@samuraikaito I was co.enting on your comment not trying to be a dick.... thought it was funny ... carry on man
@@DeathPenny Haha my response wasn't meant to come off as rude man.. but hey you're right. I'm trying to get the hang of making these videos and trying to make them A LOT shorter. They are coming out incredibly long.
@@samuraikaito all good man, sometimes things make me laugh out loud and I feel compelled to let folks know... looking forward to more vids man 🤟🤟
Many more coming! Rock on
You lied from these guys. Live version. Amazing also no quarter Led Zeppelin cover. They kill both songs👍
No idea they did a Led Zeppelin cover. That should be awesome, thanks for the suggestion.
+1 for Tool's No Quarter cover.
I think you should check out some Aussie metal, Karnivool, Cog, Butterfly effect and maybe something heavier like Parkway drive. I suggest starting with Goliath from Karnivool.
