In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm sharing a reaction to Eulogy from Tool that I filmed in late May, 2024 as part of our Fan Favorites series on Patreon. As usual, the musicians in Tool thoroughly entertained me and made me think...as well as rocking my socks off! I hope you enjoy this powerful song!

The “F*ck” at the end is the most relatable reaction
Lateralus is largely considered their best, but a lot of us will tell you it's this.
Agree!
I'm one of them. Maynard's melodies seem so much more focused and cohesive on this project. They all seem so much more cohesive from a songwriting perspective rather than on later projects like on Lateralus, where the band was tighter and compositions were more complex, but they seem to have sacrificed the cohesive songwriting that drew me to them on Aenima. That's the way I see it at least.
Yep, I'm one of those. This is their darkest album. I like dark and heavy shit.
@@ChuckWasHere Yeah this album they're at the top of their game with more gutteral, personal songwriting that feels more like telling a story than the later more cerebral albums. Which peaked with their Salival live album imho. I was kinda sad Doug didn't pick that version of Pushit.
With ya, Aenima is my favourite, not that I don't like the others but this and even Undertow before the others
Doug!! Just do the whole discography, it's chocked full of masterful compositions!
💯
I'm here for it! And APC, and Puscifer!
Hmm. Aenima and Lateralus yes. The rest less so.
@@aaroncole3941 Absolutely!
Of course
This is it. This is the album. You want to listen to a full TOOL album for the first time this is the one.
100% agree, an absolute masterpiece. Didn't leave my car stereo for over 6 months when it came out!
And I did, magic stuff.
There have been a few memorable moments mentioned in musical history. First was music before Sgt Pepper's and after nd then Music before and after Aenima
10,000 >
You're spot on. This is a very easy album to enjoy. Fast innoculum is a commitment. Undertow is good, too, but simplistic by comparison. This is a great, great album. 46+2 is world class kick ass. H, and HWP are excellent, too. The lyrics of HWP are savage.
11:30 that was the most genuine reaction to a tool song lmao
The hands flapping tho 😂😂
I was laughing so hard!!!
Some Say, He Is Still Air Drumming To This Song, Till This Very Day 😂
Listen to Aenima all the way through.
They really hit their stride on this album.
In order...with headphones!
one of tools best songs lyrically imo. "come down, get off your fucking cross, we need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr"
Ooooo edgy
@@TraditionalHippie right
@@colinburroughs9871 I love Tool but I don’t miss arrogant blasphemous Maynard
@@TraditionalHippie we're a bit outnumbered lol.. but yeah, you found another one who agrees with you on this
@@colinburroughs9871 I grew up silencing this part. I have an uncanny ability to not care about specific verses in TOOL songs and still get the message. I can’t tell you how rewarding it’s been to witness Judith>Wings, pointing the finger to letting go of grudges
This song still gives me chills after almost 20 years later. 🤘Thanks for a lovely reaction to one of the greatest bands to ever exist!
Song is closer to 30 years by now. 😂
Before you do any more Tool, listen to Forty Six & 2. It’s my favorite Tool song because it’s just *ridiculous* in its musicianship.
Like what?
I love how Scene 6:Home seems to take inspiration from it.
For me it's either Eulogy or Right in Two
I am a fan of Pneuma as well. They have Rush on steroids vibes
The new album has surpassed all of the others for me. It took me a while to understand it, but it is truly profound. And I've been listening to them since the early 90's
@@SilkyMJohnsonYeah, everytime I listen to it I like it even more.
Saw them live at the last tour, best night of my life. The songs they played from that album are such an experience live.
This whole album kicks ass
Out of all the reaction videos with air drumming I do believe that you follow and can anticipate the changes better than anyone I've seen. Hats off to you sir, spiral out and take in the beauty along the way.
“H” was the first TOOL song I ever heard and is what got me hooked, so it will always hold a special place for me. With that said, “Aenima” is special in terms of flow, tempo change, and is Maynard’s voice at its best IMO. It also is a perfect early stop in Maynard’s journey of growth that ultimately (as of right now) effectively ends with “Descending” and “Pneuma”. The stark difference between “Aenima” and “Descending” is very powerful in terms of maturity. And with all of this said, I agree with the other person who said to just go ahead and do their entire discography. Literally every song is a masterpiece and everything connects in different ways to different journeys of growth. Absolutely amazing artists!
As far as only having 5 albums goes....Perfection and greatness takes time.
IMO they take too much time. Their old bassist agrees.
10,000 and Fear are not perfect or great. Patchy and disappointing is closer.
@@Richard-d1y 10000 is pretyy fn good
@@Richard-d1yso called tool fan
We all have that one album that changed our musical lives and made a great impression on us. Most of the times it was when we were young and finding our musical tastes. This album was it for me. I was a grunge fan and certainly had my taste in music by 16 but when this album came out, it was profound for me. I would listen to this album daily and still can't get enough into my 40s.
The sound in the beggining is Maynard singing into a mega phone and just hitting the button in rythum. You can kind of hear his voice in the back ground making the notes.
I saw it as a hairdryer through a megaphone. The hairdryer acting as a conduit for the sound into the megaphone.
I've heard this song a million times and never realized that's him singing in the background and it's not a separate track
Tool army checking in, welcome recruit!
Spiral out, keep going
Right in Two is my fav tool song. I think Doug already did that one. Would love him to do vicarious
Man I love that song so damn much. I love everything from tool but right in two is just... Damn.
I have a question.... You haven´t heard Forty Six & 2 and you haven´t listened to Fear Inoculum. What are you waiting for??? DO IT NOW!!!
I had heard TOOL through the years, actually played Lateralus once through. I liked them but I can´t say I listened so closely. It wasn´t until right before Fear Inoculum was released that I said to myself that it was time to sit down and go through their discography. That was in late 2018 and I´ve probably listened to Lateralus, 10.000 Days and FI 10.000 times now. Invincible from FI is a masterpiece among masterpieces. Don´t wait any longer. Listen!
You gotta do the disposition/reflection/ triad trio songs. Those three tracks blend together into one great experience from the Lateralus album
I saw this upload and shouted ITS A METAL MONDAY.
The verse about the cross is savage
As a classically trained musician, TOOL resonates with me musically so well. More than any other non-classical composer or composition.
you should do "Reflection" if not Disposition/Reflection/Triad if you want an epic. It is hypnotic and so very emotional
Wow, all those songs you still haven't heard are bangers. Take your pick!
Eulogy was my go to song when I was growing up and needed a lift 🤟
If you're hitting another album go to Lateralus, but honestly you gotta hit it all.
Sooooooooooooooooo Loooooooooooonnggg!!!!!!
Definitely their best album. Rock on!
You absolutely MUST react to The Patient. No more words needed
"The Interzone" song by The Tea Party (Canadian band). It's an interesting song to analyze.
I love how Maynard bounces back and forth from major to minor in the chorus, goosebumps.
The raw emotion and power on Undertow had me reeling many years in my younger days. All of those songs are awesome. Dark but awesome. Even Opiate was raw and awesome. True head banging music. Not as technical musically, but their music mastery was taking form.
I got goosebumps watching your first reaction. "Bill Hicks" , but that's just for people reading now, you know for sure. ;)
I commented before the end of the song, hahaha. nvm. Hooker with a Penis is amazing. The grudge needs to be added to your lists as well. You could literally start from the beginning and end up with their newest stuff if you wanted. it IS all good... no bad songs. Have fun.
From first listen of this album, this was my favorite song off of it. I still love Jerk-Off (Live) off Opiate also
A stoner work colleague introduced me to this album in the late 90’s. Particularly remember this track + 46 & 2 as it was NOTHING like I had heard musically before…or since! This album changed my life! 👊🏻
Ænima is the best starting point. I’d recommend doing Undertow as a separate listen as their sound evolved heavily once Justin joined. But Lateralus is a great follow up so you can understand their sound over time.
I have a friend who was "I don't get it" with Tool. I babysat him while he was washed on mushrooms one evening. I played the off beat stuff with his own hands on his leg. We went to many shows years later. 😅
Here for tool… and the intro to this song is so Epic!
This album is their masterpiece, it really proved that they were operating at the highest level. IMO it's their best album, until Fear Inoculum.
Just got my tickets for one of the new Beat shows that was added. Gonna get to see Danny live out another dream and play some of the parts that inspired his style, along with 2 Zappa alums in Belew and Vai and one of the most amazing bass players in rock history Mr. Tony Levin. Recreating music from the 3 King Crimson albums that changed everything in music and inspired many of today's top musicians.
Maybe it’s a personal preference. But talking over the music to read past lyrics while the song continues is hard to watch. You only listening to a percentage of the song when you do that.
I listened to this song on repeat for about 5 years.
LESSS GOOO
Tool really be like "Danny, you play 13/8 and I'ma play 7/16, while Maynard sings in 3/4."
Eulogy has always been the opus of their prime. Us old schoolers know.
Bill Hicks is who Maynard is referring to buddy.
Check out Opiate by Tool, their debut EP not just one song, their whole EP
What’s crazy is the beginning part Maynard is doing with a distorted mic
GOOD TOOL 🔧
I just found your content and I think you would absolutely adore the ULTRAKILL soundtrack
A couple songs I would recommend would be
Tenebre roso sangue (by keygen church)
The world looks red (heaven pierce her)
ORDER (heaven pierce her)
WAR (heaven pierce her)
Altars of apostasy (heaven pierce her)
Thank you in advance if you listen to any of these!
You really need to do full listens to all of em Doug, they're like no other
respect the crap out of you doug. this reaction just reminded me of that. keep on keeping it real my good man. 🤜🤛
H. Was the track that made me a believer when I heard it back in '99.
He had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say!🔥👍
The lyrics just seem to be talking about a demagogue with a Christ complex. I agree that it’s about no one in particular.
The clicking sound in the intro is guitar not drums. Adam is picking behind the bridge.
Eulogy is my hidden treasure off Ænima. So many tasty grooves with an intro I didn't know I needed. I like these retrospectives. Great channel, Doug!
This whole album is still in my rotation since it came out, but H is in my top 10.
If only you knew how difficult the drumbeat at 9:41 is to play (the hi hat opening every 3rd 16th note)
good choice guys over on patreon
hey doug! think youd like some of the crazy music from avenged sevenfolds new music! id reccomend game over from the life is but a dream album
It’s about time you dirty little dirty Douge L intro i fuck w the old intro OG Mint , TOOL is all you need to hear you need to listen to A Perfect Circle
Always been my fav
The intro is so good 👍
Until about a year ago, I thought that the intro was all Danny being the Octopus he is, and it melted my brain trying to figure out how he played that. Turns out Adam starts it out tapping the strings to the pickups. Phew! 🤓
Every album is a masterpiece. Very little filler and very few duds. Cant go wrong with any.... but, 'H' off this album is one of my personal favourites.
They're Just GOOD! Great fucking quote Dave :DDD
Best Tool song, imo.
Glad you enjoyed it too!
Try Rosetta Stoned.
If you're not listening to their entire collection, you are doing yourself a disservice.
Peter gabriel who was himself originally a Drama did not allow.
Cy MBA LS. On his recordings. He felt that the use of those which my speech to text demon refuses to spell.
Would obscure His vocals. Which my speech to text wanted to translate as Volkswagen. And so what was intended as a brief note has turned into an epic exposition? Of turn off the AC.
46 & 2 is great! Aenema is also great!
brilliant song. I listened to this so many damn times back in the day. the way the start builds is just perfect. This album really deserves a full album listen through. it flows so brilliantly. not sure if you've explored any Perfect Circle. more Maynard briliantness.
Oh! For a full album you are going to want to listen to Lataralus! Such a good album in its entirety! As a composer, I’m sure you will appreciate it.
No comments on the 3 part polyrhythm from Danny in the middle where it’s just Maynard & Danny? 😱
Lateralus is the way to go after listening to Aenima. They are such a good band
It is funny hearing tool appear on the metal Monday because they themselves never considered themselves to be a metal band. To quote Adam Jones he once said “ whenever people refer to us as a metal band. It kind of makes me want to take a bath.”
title track next!!!
"Aenima" is one of those albums that is incredibly dense and incredibly deep. It did have the one release, "Stink Fist," that generated a lot of interest and acclaim, but as far as the rest of the album goes, every single song follows the Tool playbook (the "Tool-box" if you will?): thought-provoking lyrics, intrinsically-intertwined rhythms, virtuosity-level musicians who hold nothing back, and one of the absolutely greatest voices in rock. This was a CD that I put into my Discman and didn't stop listening to for months. Every song a challenge - every track a treasure.
Y'allogy
I'd be surprised if you didn't airdrum to this song.
Did you know that the bass player, Adam Jone, is a special effects artist who has worked on such projects as Terminator 2? He also does a lot of their music videos.
The piece I want to hear him review Descending off of Tool's last album. To me I can already hear the orchestra in full flight! Please someone tell me I am not crazy
Classic failed-messiah theme.
Has doug heard a full tool album yet? If not, he's missing out 😂
My theory is that Eulogy is about the narrator's ego.
Ohh Doug!!! You make me so extremely happy that you did Eulogy finally!!! :DDD
You need to do Fourty Six & Two or Invincible on the Fear Inoculum album both are very good!
Enjoy the rest of the album, and the next album you should check out is laterals, the next album chronologically. :)
Lateralus would be fantastic.
I heard it’s about his friendship with Henry Rollins ending
Totally different genre, but what about old/new piano themed pieces: Struggle for Pleasure (Wim Mertens), Divenire & Experience (Einaudi), Auto Rock (Mogwai), God moving over the face of the waters (Moby), The Night King (Ramin Djawadi), Coward (Hans Zimmer). Would love to hear your reaction. Btw big fan of your content, learning new music trough your channel. Sam from Belgium :)
Civilisation 6 main theme trust me you won't be disappoined! It's a video game and the composer is quite famous
My understanding was that most of this album was dedicated to Bill, but I heard that a long time ago and never took it past face value when comparing to the lyrics.
TOOL has always been esoteric
As a youth in the 90s, this song was about the boss I had that didn't understand how hard I wanted to work.
Then as a young adult it was about cops and politicians
Now it's about my ego, and the monster within...
I’m fairly certain it was mostly about a drill Sargent that Maynard encountered during his Army days.
Eulogy is part of my hiking Playlist. There, I said it. Such a great track. Great reaction!
It's at least is a little bit about Bill Hicks
I remember the 1 time I listen to this, what a great feeling, but im never get tired of Tool Its Just ALL Sync and Genius music. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Pleas do the title track. That's were he talks about L. Ron Hubbard.
I always thought this song was about the standup comic Bill Hicks. He opened for them several times in the 90s, and he sure had a lot to say.
You would be correct.
no. maynard LIKED bill the album is dedicated to him in fact , this track is full of derision
It’s about time
