@@gringrin3979 I always have two favorites, one i enjoy listening to the most and one i enjoy playing the most. but day to day or even hour to hour they might change depending on my state of being.
"Jambi" is an Indonesian Province in Sumatra, which was once part of a powerful kingdom with a rich sultan who lived an opulent lifestyle. The setting reinforces the message that family and friends are more important than wealth... which is a great interpretation, but it turns out that this song was inspired by the kid's TV show PeeWee's Funhouse , which had a genie character named Jambi. At a drum clinic in Kansas, Tool Drummer Danny Carey explained that when Justin Chancellor came up with the bass part, Carey thought it sounded like Jambi's chant on the show: "Mekka-lekka hi mekka hiney ho." Lead singer Maynard James Keenan wrote lyrics about a genie and making wishes, and the song was born. While it could appear to have deeper meaning, Carey claims it was simply a joke. but if it means more to you, to each their own. here is the link: ruclips.net/video/XN5kVvR8VQI/видео.html
Jambi is also the name of the genie in Pee-wee's Playhouse. It's also Finnish for iambic. It's a pattern used in poetry that emphasizes the second syllable of every word in a sentence fragment.
To explain more fully, Adam Jones is using a voice box. It’s a device that plugs into a guitar and allows you to speak (via a tube) and influence the guitar’s sound. Peter Frampton made it famous, but a number of artists have made great use of it
You still have most of their songs to go through. Right in two, Wings for Marie 1 & 2 (make sure to hit Judith from A Perfect Circle before), The Grudge, The Patient, 7empest, AEnema, Pushit, H, Rosetta Stoned, 4 degrees, and so many more....
13:31 That's a guitar, being amplified then played through a plastic tube by a tiny speaker, the tube goes into Adam Jones' mouth, and the sound shoots back out his mouth into a microphone. Today, in no particular order, my top 5 is: Third Eye Descending The Grudge Flood Jambi
the first commercial talk boxes were made by Bob Heil for Joe Walsh on the song Rocky Mountain Way and then Peter Framton used it famously on the Frampton Comes Alive album. One of my favorite uses was by David Gilmour on Pink Floyd's Animals album. Top Knotch
Diss Breaky Productions I ended up making my own from free parts i found, i used a small amp and full range driver from an outdoor speaker. Definitely not as good as the real deal but it does the job. I have a sub output on my main board that I run into my talk box so I run all kinds of sounds through it. Moog synths, theremin, a miked up grand piano and the output from my looper to reshape looping vocal parts. Much Fun!
Man I'm really enjoying watching you go through this TOOL journey with an artists ear and breaking it down with your own unique perspective. Everyone who gets in to TOOL experiences it in their own way which results in a rabid loyal fan base. My favorite song is whichever one im listening to at the time. Also throwing in another vote for Invincible from the new album. It's fire.
Your formula for listening to the music first THEN reading the lyrics is where its at with Tool. Follows the logical flow of their composition process. Once you've got that far THEN the video. Keep it up man
@@davidh8293 I beg to differ. PeeWee's playhouse came out in 1986 with 5 seasons I believe following. I was 10 yrs old. Maynard and the band didn't drop the first Tool Album or Single until 92" Now if you're speaking of Maynard's son then yes he probably most likely watched reruns. Even Danny has made comments referring to the Geni in the show. And the song. I think this song as well as many Tool songs have multiple meaning's / interpretations. For each individual person. Which is what is intended.
I think you missed my point. Reading Freddie’s comment, my observation he was suggesting Maynard watched the show growing up. Referring to Maynard himself. Not his son, whom wasn’t born yet, or anyone else. I take “Growing up” as being a kid. Obviously Maynard was in his 20s when when the show came out so if someone wants to constitute that as “he watched it growing up”, then obviously I don’t know the meaning of growing up. Lol
@@davidh8293 Well yes Your statement is true. About him not being a child. I'm 43 and I remember my 20's an yeah just learning what being an adult is all about. Is still a growing/learning process nonetheless. Not everyone graduate's and has life all figured out. 😊
My favorite TOOL song is the one I’m listening right now! Every TOOL fan will tell you this!😁 Next up - The Grudge! Get ready because that one is a monster! 👍👍😉 Happy birthday, man! Love from Slovenia.🤗🍻🥃
Honestly, that is the best way. When you read lyrics while listening to a song, it does put your mind in an analytical vibe. Most people hear a song on the radio or whatever for the first time and don't have lyrics available. I definitely always look at lyrics AFTER! Listen to the music first!
Ive seen a lot of reactions... but you have a sub because of one part. You describing the painting of an artist with the music being a piece, the puzzle’s start. But the lyrics completing the portrait. Well said
Your favorite TOOL song is always the last one you hear. If you do "Lateralus", do the Fibonacci sequence video. It'll take you to a whole other level of appreciation.
Comments... You asked about the instructions in the beginning, it's a bass with some effects (delay, reverb, etc...) The solo is made by both mouth and guitar (great ears there) It's s Talk Box. The musician puts a tube in his mouth the tiny microphone in matches the sound with his mouth through the guitar. These are amazing musicians
RAH JAMBI was a GENIE on PEE WEE's PLAYHOUSE. A Saturday morning kids TV show in the 80's. Everytime Pee Wee would say the word 'WISH' JAMBIE the GENIE would appear. He'd say the magic words "Mecca Lecca Hi Mecca Hiney Ho" and Grant Pee Wee a WISH. In Maynard's lyrics he says "IF I COULD I WOULD WISH THIS ALL AWAY." ✌🔥💯🤯
RAH. Just found you a week ago, and I love that you found one of the greatest and most profound bands of all time. It makes me so happy to see your happiness when listening to this stuff. Great vids man. Jimmy is an incredible song. It’s about his mother having to leave when he was 11 years old. VERY deep song. Be ready that lyrical breakdown my friend 👍
This song is about his mother who was paralyzed when he was 11. Spent approx 10,000 days (album title) in that state but never gave up her faith, it profundity changed him.
Man...... Dude...... Seriously Man. What you said at the end about trying to cope with loosing someone that means so much to you..... It was almost like you were talking to me personally, like your words were ment for me to hear. I won't go into everything I've been going through but basically I lost my Dad to lung cancer last year and I've not 3doing well. Not so bad that I need to seek help but bad enough that I've felt lost and confused. My Dad was my rock to build on and losing him broke my world apart. But what you said put things together. Thank you.
Firstly, sorry for your loss man, I mean that. I’m grateful that you were able to come across this video and that my words meant something to you with what you are going through. Your dad is still with you. Preciate you man. Stay up. 💯
@@RAHONLYFAM Thanks again man. And thank you for what you're doing here. Believe it or not you're helping alot of people who just need a friend to share similar interests with. This world has become cold as far as how people treat each other. I remember as teenager our group of friends would hang out and show each other music that we had just discovered and whether we liked it or not we would all share the experience of discovering new music. But now people, even friends, don't want to hear anything outside of what they know. Hell sometimes I think that people aren't even listening to the music they claim to like, it's just on the fill the silence or they blast it as a statement or status symbol but never really hear what they're playing. That's why what you do is so important, because you're there for those of us who need that friend to vibe with and because you're bringing entire new worlds of music to a generation that otherwise wouldn't have gotten the chance to experience. So from all of us I thank you.
I love that you felt this. It’s a powerful song. The music, of course, but I’m completely stoked that you care about the lyrics. That’s what makes it come together. I’m pretty sure that my sons are at least your age. I’ve passed great music like this onto them. And, they share really great music with me. Thanks for sharing Tool. I literally listen to them every time I paint. Pass the greats forward!
Wonderful reaction and interpretation, Rah. It's great to see you feeling these songs the way that you do. Top 5 Tool Songs 1. Stinkfist 2. Lost Keys+Rosetta Stoned (You ARE ready for this one, my guy. Let it be next, if I may request.) 3. Culling Voices 4. The Holy Trinity (Disposition+Reflection+Triad) 5. Wings For Marie (10,000 Days Parts 1 & 2) Always a pleasure, Rah. Be safe, be happy, spiral out, and keep going. ✌ 💘 🙏
You should check out the 10,000 days jacket that the album came with. It opens up with a pair of glasses built in and multiple pages to flip thru. The glasses make everything 3D. Given the cover and booklet it’s pretty sick.
This song got me into Tool, been a number 1 for a while. That was a chorused bass. Glad you love the song. Also, if you listen to the song with the idea that it's about his mother, the song will open to you, and it leads into the Wings for Marie suite. Or it can be about the inner and higher self. Something to think about.
The weird sound effect you were wondering about is a Talk Box. The sound is produced with the vocal tract and heavily modified by the Talk box. There is a video of the guitar player doing it live. ruclips.net/video/BVLPxv02kfA/видео.html
Just stumbled across your channel and I wanna say I’m thoroughly enjoying your content✨ it’s a pleasure watching you become a Tool fan... You should look into Maynard’s other bands: A Perfect Circle Puscifer
Top 5 - The Pot, Vicarious, Stinkfist, Forty Six & 2, Schism. Always love the honesty of how much Tool impacts you as you listen. That's the common flow between the majority of listeners I think.
I love top fives. Thanks for asking. 5. Jambi 4. Sober. 3. 10,000/Wings for Marie 2. Vicarious 3. Pneuma Damnit! I couldn't fit Forty Six & Two in there.
I see and recognize the pain on your face because I see it when I look in the mirror. Jambi and Pneuma’s lyrics have been a huge awakening in my spiritual life. He’s been trying to reach me and when i heard this, it changed everything. Wish you the best.
RAH, hey man, say man, we love when you dive into the lyrical pool and soak in the genius of TOOL. Thank the for sharing your TOOL journey with us, Right in Two,lyrically is a must 🤘🤘😎😎❤️❤️
The theme and the name of the song is a reference to the genie character in Pee-wee's Playhouse. But jambi is actually Finnish for iambic. It's a poetic pattern that Maynard uses in his lyrics for this particular track. Thanks for the videos, man. Keep em comin'!
I toooooold you, man. This song is top tier, as is the rest of this album. So glad ya liked it! All Tool songs are amazing, man. They're just a real band, made up of four equally talented artists, and they fucking rock. Keep spiraling out!
You already know for true Tool fans there can't possibly be a favorite but there are some we play at certain times more than others. Right now it's: Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned, Pushit Live, You Lied Live, The Patient and Stinkfist.
I think you're finally getting it RAH, the reason Maynerd isn't in front of the band is he feels the music is so much important than the words although lyrically he's the bomb! You need to do 7empest next. Also search RUclips for James Maynard Keenan, the art of work.
At 3:10 when you were asking what instrument that was? Bass, baby. Basically any time in Tool you hear something and it's not clearly drums or guitar it's 99% going to be Justin doing something wild on the Bass. There's even a good chance a lot of the guitar solos you hear are bass, like in Vicarious or The Pot.
Lateralus is, in my mind in the top 3 albums of all time. The song Lateralus is top 3 songs all time. Their new album dropped last year which is pretty good too.
Wow man, you get it. I love watching new Tool fans. I first heard them in 1995 (song - Opiate) and it was the same. Just changed my idea of what music could be. Picking 5 is hard but this one is on the list for sure. I'm going to do what you did, have to go with 10: Sober, Stinkfist, Jambi, Schism, Lateralus, Right In Two, Parabola, Opiate, The Pot, Vicarious. I'm in Canada, have seen them live twice and was holding a ticket for them in July (yeah damn covid). Enjoying your takes, they really are like no other musical experience you'll ever have. I loved Living Colour and Rage back in the day too! If you want more good heavy stuff (IMO), try some old (1992 and earlier) Metallica, 1980's Iron Maiden and Megadeth, and if you want something crazy you could try Ministry circa 1987-1995. Cheers, eh?
I'm sure someone answered your question but the here's the short version. Jambi is a genie on peewee's playhouse and songs pretty much about wishing all material things and wealth away to keep someone you love around or alive. Top 5 for me Reflection, Descending, Eulogy, Wings 1+2 and Pushit.
Adam is using a guitar effect known as a "talk box". You can control the sound of the guitar notes played with a tube going into your mouth. It often gives the sound a wah wah effect.
definitely need to listen to Reflection!! very underrated tool song!! edit: also keep up the great videos! I don't really like reaction channels, but yours and Lost in Vegas are GOOD!
It's funny when you laughed when you said they've got their tools. Because tool has described that the reason their name is tool is because they want you to use their music in your journey. And to expand and grow together....even the songs from in the early albums that seem so angry and chaotic is part of the journey to let go..to recognize the pain and move on together.....spiral out
Jambi is definitely top 5. Always takes me back to the birth of my sons. We love this song. When Jesus casts out the demon from the possessed man, he asks who is inside him. The demon responds "we are legion".
MY TOP FIVE NO PARTICULAR ORDER : -PARABOLA -COLD AND UGLY (EARLY TOOL) -HUSH (EARLY TOOL) -BOTTOM (NOT SO EARLY LOL) -46&2 BONUS : EULOGY , ROSETTA STONED , UNDERTOW
Thanks for doing Jambi dude! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep up the great work. Top 5 Tool songs: 1. Jambi 2. 7empest 3. The Pot 4. Euology 5. Parabola Peace!
Let's go bro! The meaning behind this song is heartbreaking only magnifying the excellence that is tool my bro. Top 5: right in two, lateralus, fuck! This is hard I don't know!
Top 5 TODAY.. Parabol/Parabola, Pushit (Salival Live Version), Invincible, Stinkfist and Jambi. Ask me again tomorrow 🤘😝. Happy Belated Birthday youngin' ! 🎉
10,000 days, Pushit, Third eye, Right in two, undertow - if I had to choose a top 5 today - it would be different tomorrow! Rosetta Stoned, Jimmy, Opiate, Invincible, 4 degrees and so on..
Tool has always been one of my favorite bands but when you learn and understand the lyrics and meaning to the songs and then put that along with the instruments, to me it transcends music. And it's hard to explain unless you experience it. And that's with no psilocybin needed 😂🤘.... but it possibly could help🤔
Jambi is one of my all time favorites. It has such a driving force to it...coupled with loving sentiment to a loved one in his life. Jambi was a mystical genie character on Pee Wee's Playhouse. 5?...you have touch upon some of them...hmm...Jimmy with the lead in to it called Intermission, Pushit(from the Salival album), No Quarter(Salival), The Grudge and My Third Eye.☆ Happy birthday wishes to you, Rah. May you have a pleasant day..Geeeetee!!
It really can depend on the mood. but generally 1. Parabol/Parabola 2. Right in Two 3. The Grudge 4. Wings for Marie 1/2 5. Aenima Honorable mentions .... The Patient, No quarter, Lateralus, Ticks and Leeches.
Great Reaction RAH! For real You need to do a reaction to Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned you will not be disappointed! I want so bad to see you're expression when Maynard starts singing! 😁 I absolutely love this song. "No prize that could hold sway, Or justify my giving away, My center... So if I could I'd wish it all away.... Dim my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum, Wants and needs divide me then... I might as well be gone...Shine on forever benevolent sun!" 🤘😉 I read this description in a Reddit forum. And I absolutely agree with this man. "Jambi could have a number of interpretations. Mine is that it is about his mother, her impact on his life and how losing her was like losing his "center." When he speaks about the "benevolent sun" at the end of the song, it sounds like his way of saying she'll continue to influence his being, no matter where she is now." The rabbit hole is deep. Keep Riding the Spiral! It's you're Birthday Everyday when you get to listen to great music for the first time. 🎂😊❤
Dang this is my first time hearing this song, too. You should rock out to 'Too Many Puppies' by Primus, man, that song is just stanky as fuck. Hits so hard and has a good message. Primus has a handful of amazing shit and some weird videos to react to. Also 'I Am The Slime' by Frank Zappa
Top 5 TOOL songs?! Goood luck bro! 🤣🤣 Love your reactions, this is a great way to find the best of the best, but Tool is something unique man. Pretty much all of their songs are amazing, so that's a fools errand. Mad love from Connecticut!
13:35 it’s a “talk box” you play guitar, but the speaker goes into your mouth, so you can shape the sound with your mouth. Peter Frampton used it a lot.
Maynard James Keenan has done collaborations with Rage Against the Machine - "Know Your Enemy". And, Deftones - "Passenger". The effect on that guitar that you were wondering about is called a "Talk Box". Adam sings into a tube and plays the guitar which distorts his voice.
Also the song that will probably mess with your best catching abilities the most is Rosetta Stoned (the intro is called lost keys) also it’s a lot of bars to break down for once
Happy birthday! My top 5 changes, but right now I'd say Descending/The Pot/Invincible/7empest/46&2. Which is a bit surprising about 7empest since I didn't like it all that much at first. But lately it's really grown on me!
I feel you about the painting analogy. I read lyrics after and it puts it in a while new perspective. The beautiful thing about music is that it can be interpreted for an individual at that time in their life.
Dont know if you have yet but "The Pot" is one you should definitely listen to by tool. They were nominated for a grammy for it before they won one for 7empest if I remember correctly.

You're doing a great job with your reviews - lyrics are just as important to me usually, sometimes we just like the beat & rhythm right. :D
*So many like this & The Pot have both the music & lyrics - Lateralus!
just an FYI, your top five from Tool will ALWAYS rotate... have been for me for almost 30 years now
Me as well!
My favorite song by TOOL is always... the one I am listening to at the time. 😉
@@gringrin3979 I always have two favorites, one i enjoy listening to the most and one i enjoy playing the most. but day to day or even hour to hour they might change depending on my state of being.
This is a great description, very true about top 5 rotating.
Exactly!

Jesus Christ you just revealed yourself bro Jambi is actually the genie character in Pee-wee's Playhouse but good luck to you
Jambi is also the name of the genie in Pee-wee's Playhouse. It's also Finnish for iambic. It's a pattern used in poetry that emphasizes the second syllable of every word in a sentence fragment.
There is no such thing as an overrated TOOL song, they are all UNDERTATTED!!
🐐🐐🐐
this is what i was going to say
Always more Tool
Lol “is that the guitar or is that the vocal?”
Me: Yes
😂💯💯
Lmao

You still have most of their songs to go through. Right in two, Wings for Marie 1 & 2 (make sure to hit Judith from A Perfect Circle before), The Grudge, The Patient, 7empest, AEnema, Pushit, H, Rosetta Stoned, 4 degrees, and so many more....
omg, each album has 5 favourites!
Right in two is so underrated
13:31 That's a guitar, being amplified then played through a plastic tube by a tiny speaker, the tube goes into Adam Jones' mouth, and the sound shoots back out his mouth into a microphone.
Today, in no particular order, my top 5 is:
Third Eye
Descending
The Grudge
Flood
Jambi
🔥🔥

I say do The Grudge next!
Edit: Scratch that... let's go back in time and do Bottom!!

It's the best way and he's doing a great job
Best poetry reading of a Tool song ever!! You got a gift bro!
Preciate u dawg 💯💯
The track is dedicated to his son. He give everything up for his son. Jambi is a wishing genie from a show Maynard used to watch growing up.
Jambi is the Genie from Pee Wes’s playhouse
And PeeWees Playhouse came out long after Maynard was an adult. He didn’t watch it growing up. Just saying.

1. Wings for Marie pt.2
2. Stinkfist
3. Parabol + Parabola
4. Schism (First Tool bass line I learned)
5. Vicarious

Great vids man. Jimmy is an incredible song. It’s about his mother having to leave when he was 11 years old. VERY deep song. Be ready that lyrical breakdown my friend 👍
Preciate that a lot 💯 thank u man
This song is about his mother who was paralyzed when he was 11. Spent approx 10,000 days (album title) in that state but never gave up her faith, it profundity changed him.
Profoundly
Wow, from WI. I just seen your speech at the end. I just finished getting over one from 2 years ago. I hear ya. Tool helped me through alot.

Thanks for sharing Tool. I literally listen to them every time I paint.
Pass the greats forward!
Thank u Ana. Preciate that a lot 💯
love the positivity man.. one love much love keep going
Preciate u Patrick 💯💯
Wonderful reaction and interpretation, Rah. It's great to see you feeling these songs the way that you do.

🔥🔥🔥
You should check out the 10,000 days jacket that the album came with. It opens up with a pair of glasses built in and multiple pages to flip thru. The glasses make everything 3D. Given the cover and booklet it’s pretty sick.
This song got me into Tool, been a number 1 for a while. That was a chorused bass. Glad you love the song.
Also, if you listen to the song with the idea that it's about his mother, the song will open to you, and it leads into the Wings for Marie suite. Or it can be about the inner and higher self. Something to think about.
Wow thank u. I’ll be giving this song several more listens 💯
The weird sound effect you were wondering about is a Talk Box. The sound is produced with the vocal tract and heavily modified by the Talk box. There is a video of the guitar player doing it live. ruclips.net/video/BVLPxv02kfA/видео.html
Just stumbled across your channel and I wanna say I’m thoroughly enjoying your content✨ it’s a pleasure watching you become a Tool fan...
You should look into Maynard’s other bands:
A Perfect Circle
Puscifer

This is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Love love love it!
Happy Birthday. Here’s my 5:
- H
- The Grudge
- Jambi
- Lateralus
- Ticks & Leeches
Top 5 🔥🔥
I love The Patient, H, and Lateralus might be the most relevant song ever written in human history to the real world.
Top 5 - The Pot, Vicarious, Stinkfist, Forty Six & 2, Schism. Always love the honesty of how much Tool impacts you as you listen. That's the common flow between the majority of listeners I think.
Fire top 5 🔥🔥 preciate that
Jambi may be my top song from Tool. Not a lot of people have this one #1 I wouldn't think.
That instrument is a bass with some sort of reverb effect
I love top fives. Thanks for asking.
5. Jambi 4. Sober. 3. 10,000/Wings for Marie 2. Vicarious 3. Pneuma
Damnit! I couldn't fit Forty Six & Two in there.
I see and recognize the pain on your face because I see it when I look in the mirror. Jambi and Pneuma’s lyrics have been a huge awakening in my spiritual life. He’s been trying to reach me and when i heard this, it changed everything. Wish you the best.
RAH, hey man, say man, we love when you dive into the lyrical pool and soak in the genius of TOOL. Thank the for sharing your TOOL journey with us, Right in Two,lyrically is a must 🤘🤘😎😎❤️❤️
Coming soon man 💯
So many more where this came from.
The theme and the name of the song is a reference to the genie character in Pee-wee's Playhouse. But jambi is actually Finnish for iambic. It's a poetic pattern that Maynard uses in his lyrics for this particular track.
Thanks for the videos, man. Keep em comin'!
Disposition/Reflection/Triad
Descending
Pushit (Salival version)
Third Eye
Wings For Marie (Parts I and II)
I toooooold you, man. This song is top tier, as is the rest of this album.
So glad ya liked it! All Tool songs are amazing, man. They're just a real band, made up of four equally talented artists, and they fucking rock.
Keep spiraling out!
Preciate u man! 💯💯
You already know for true Tool fans there can't possibly be a favorite but there are some we play at certain times more than others. Right now it's: Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned, Pushit Live, You Lied Live, The Patient and Stinkfist.
🔥🔥
I think you're finally getting it RAH, the reason Maynerd isn't in front of the band is he feels the music is so much important than the words although lyrically he's the bomb! You need to do 7empest next. Also search RUclips for James Maynard Keenan, the art of work.
Preciate that Ron 💯💯
At 3:10 when you were asking what instrument that was? Bass, baby. Basically any time in Tool you hear something and it's not clearly drums or guitar it's 99% going to be Justin doing something wild on the Bass. There's even a good chance a lot of the guitar solos you hear are bass, like in Vicarious or The Pot.
My bro you let me know if you ever find yourself in Nebraska big red country my man! The meaning of this song is heart breaking
Lateralus is, in my mind in the top 3 albums of all time. The song Lateralus is top 3 songs all time. Their new album dropped last year which is pretty good too.
Jambi is going to be the name of my next pet! It’s in my “top 5” for sure! 🤘🏻
The guitar solo is using a talk box, Adam Jones is sick with that
Also Happy Birthday man. Stay safe and healthy.
Preciate u. Thank you 💯💯
Wow man, you get it. I love watching new Tool fans. I first heard them in 1995 (song - Opiate) and it was the same. Just changed my idea of what music could be. Picking 5 is hard but this one is on the list for sure. I'm going to do what you did, have to go with 10:
Sober, Stinkfist, Jambi, Schism, Lateralus, Right In Two, Parabola, Opiate, The Pot, Vicarious.
I'm in Canada, have seen them live twice and was holding a ticket for them in July (yeah damn covid). Enjoying your takes, they really are like no other musical experience you'll ever have. I loved Living Colour and Rage back in the day too!
If you want more good heavy stuff (IMO), try some old (1992 and earlier) Metallica, 1980's Iron Maiden and Megadeth, and if you want something crazy you could try Ministry circa 1987-1995.
Cheers, eh?
Preciate that a lot 💯💯 big shoutout to Canada 🔥
I'm sure someone answered your question but the here's the short version. Jambi is a genie on peewee's playhouse and songs pretty much about wishing all material things and wealth away to keep someone you love around or alive. Top 5 for me Reflection, Descending, Eulogy, Wings 1+2 and Pushit.
🔥🔥
1) Lateralus
2) The Patient
3) Right in Two
4) Invincible
5) 46 & 2
🔥top 5
Lateralus is all based on the fibinacci sequence. one of the most creatively constructed songs.
Adam is using a guitar effect known as a "talk box". You can control the sound of the guitar notes played with a tube going into your mouth. It often gives the sound a wah wah effect.
definitely need to listen to Reflection!! very underrated tool song!!
edit: also keep up the great videos! I don't really like reaction channels, but yours and Lost in Vegas are GOOD!

Oh and right in two
You gotta listen to them all
🔥🔥🔥
It's funny when you laughed when you said they've got their tools. Because tool has described that the reason their name is tool is because they want you to use their music in your journey. And to expand and grow together....even the songs from in the early albums that seem so angry and chaotic is part of the journey to let go..to recognize the pain and move on together.....spiral out
🔥🔥
Jambi is definitely top 5. Always takes me back to the birth of my sons. We love this song.
When Jesus casts out the demon from the possessed man, he asks who is inside him. The demon responds "we are legion".
MY TOP FIVE NO PARTICULAR ORDER :
-PARABOLA
-COLD AND UGLY (EARLY TOOL)
-HUSH (EARLY TOOL)
-BOTTOM (NOT SO EARLY LOL)

Preciate it Angie 🤘🏿💯💯
I think "Jimmy" is so underrated and under appreciated.
Agreed. My favorite Maynard vocal.
Jimmy has made me ugly cry in my car more than once. Such a great fucking song.
10,000 days, Pushit, Third eye, Right in two, undertow - if I had to choose a top 5 today - it would be different tomorrow! Rosetta Stoned, Jimmy, Opiate, Invincible, 4 degrees and so on..
Same Adele my too 5 changes with each song I listen to 💯
read lyrics..... long silent pause........ damn, Perfect!
💯💯
Make sure to react to the band "Ghost". The songs Square Hamer, Cirice (pronounced Sireese - means Church), He Is, Absolution, Witch Image
After much debate, I've found that my favorite TOOL song is the last one I've listened to.
The solo is adam using a talkbox. Check out a jambi live performance to see how it works
When you were talking about how this is definitely top 5 I was like 'haha it's about to become top 1 in like 15 seconds', and it fuckin happened haha
🤣🤣 this #1...for now haha
Tool has always been one of my favorite bands but when you learn and understand the lyrics and meaning to the songs and then put that along with the instruments, to me it transcends music. And it's hard to explain unless you experience it. And that's with no psilocybin needed 😂🤘.... but it possibly could help🤔
Your favorite TOOL song is always the one you're listening to. ;-)
No cap 💯💯
Jambi is one of my all time favorites. It has such a driving force to it...coupled with loving sentiment to a loved one in his life. Jambi was a mystical genie character on Pee Wee's Playhouse. 5?...you have touch upon some of them...hmm...Jimmy with the lead in to it called Intermission, Pushit(from the Salival album), No Quarter(Salival), The Grudge and My Third Eye.☆ Happy birthday wishes to you, Rah. May you have a pleasant day..Geeeetee!!
Thank u Scott. Preciate u man 💯
FYI these guys are in a league of their own 💯🔥

Great Reaction RAH! For real You need to do a reaction to Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned you will not be disappointed! I want so bad to see you're expression when Maynard starts singing! 😁 I absolutely love this song.
"No prize that
could hold sway,
Or justify my giving away, My center...
So if I could I'd wish it all away....
Dim my eyes if they should compromise
our fulcrum,
Wants and needs divide me then... I might as well be gone...Shine on forever benevolent sun!" 🤘😉 I read this description in a Reddit forum. And I absolutely agree with this man. "Jambi could have a number of interpretations. Mine is that it is about his mother, her impact on his life and how losing her was like losing his "center." When he speaks about the "benevolent sun" at the end of the song, it sounds like his way of saying she'll continue to influence his being, no matter where she is now." The rabbit hole is deep. Keep Riding the Spiral! It's you're Birthday Everyday when you get to listen to great music for the first time. 🎂😊❤
Preciate that a lot 💯
The Instrument at the beginning that you wondering about is bass through echo
Dang this is my first time hearing this song, too. You should rock out to 'Too Many Puppies' by Primus, man, that song is just stanky as fuck. Hits so hard and has a good message. Primus has a handful of amazing shit and some weird videos to react to.
Also 'I Am The Slime' by Frank Zappa
Top 5 TOOL songs?! Goood luck bro! 🤣🤣 Love your reactions, this is a great way to find the best of the best, but Tool is something unique man. Pretty much all of their songs are amazing, so that's a fools errand. Mad love from Connecticut!
🤣🤣 top 5 changes every time I hear a song lol preciate I man! Shoutout to Connecticut 💯💯
13:35 it’s a “talk box” you play guitar, but the speaker goes into your mouth, so you can shape the sound with your mouth. Peter Frampton used it a lot.
Maynard James Keenan has done collaborations with Rage Against the Machine - "Know Your Enemy". And, Deftones - "Passenger".
The effect on that guitar that you were wondering about is called a "Talk Box". Adam sings into a tube and plays the guitar which distorts his voice.
🐐🔥🔥
You've got to listen to some of their older stuff. Swamp Song, Part of Me, Opiate.
3:12 - I'll give you a clue... You have one sitting against the wall behind you... just add chorus and delay and there you have it.
Atm...
1.Rosetta Stone
2. 46 & 2
3. Sober
3. Jambi
4. The Pot
Btw watch Sober live... worth seein Manor sing in such a rough stance
Also the song that will probably mess with your best catching abilities the most is Rosetta Stoned (the intro is called lost keys) also it’s a lot of bars to break down for once
Happy birthday! My top 5 changes, but right now I'd say Descending/The Pot/Invincible/7empest/46&2. Which is a bit surprising about 7empest since I didn't like it all that much at first. But lately it's really grown on me!
Preciate u. Thank u 💯
Schism, eulogy,The Grudge, H., also Perfect Circle, Puscifer are Maynard James Kenan bands all of them among my favorites 🤜👍✌
🔥🔥🔥
I feel you about the painting analogy. I read lyrics after and it puts it in a while new perspective. The beautiful thing about music is that it can be interpreted for an individual at that time in their life.
Whole*
Dont know if you have yet but "The Pot" is one you should definitely listen to by tool. They were nominated for a grammy for it before they won one for 7empest if I remember correctly.
Yes look up Rah Reacts- Tool the pot. I have 2 videos 🔥🔥
