Lol. Salt & Peppa reference! Nice! You know, I'm not embarrassed to say that I listened to my fair share of them back in the day. Hahaha. So Lauren, you made the reference, were you a fan???
Mark Spooner I really only know this song because of 10 Things I Hate About You which I've seen about 84 times. :D I've heard it since then but that was the first time, pretty sure.
Makes sense to me, to me it's like a personal little pocket dimension where I'm in the middle of the song itself, meandering aimlessly to the sounds and rhythms
"I must persuade you another waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" I love that bit, just that gorgeous sustain with Maynard while everything else just drops away.
Part 2 is obviously going to be the Salival. I STRONGLY recommend "The Fan" video to be a Part 3. It's a live performance, and a fan gets on stage drunk, and attempts to hug Maynard. Maynard hip tosses him, get's on top, and sings the rest of the song. The "scrambling to keep my feet flat on the ground" lyrics happen during that. There is one good video of the entire song, cut together from different cams. Not great audio, but it's my favourite performance of the song. He screams in the guys ear. It's a 9m43s video and hopefully I can link it to you here ruclips.net/video/SyYV58OTQ-0/видео.html - Cheers
And yes to answer your question about hearing just the bass. It and the drums are so foundation for Tool. The first time I heard invincible live was at the staple center in Los Angeles and their first leg of the fear inoculum tour. I actually stood at the back of the arena right underneath Kobe's jersey and felt Justin's bass punching me through the chest. it was an amazing feeling.
That was a great reaction to one of my favorite Tool songs! I mentioned this one waaaaaay back earlier in your Tool journey, but I think you came to it at the right time. To your questions: 1. Do I know what you mean? Yes, I don't know how to put it into words either, but you say "journey" a lot and that's the right word to me. Tool songs tend to take you on a trip. 2. Nope, can't agree with you on the solo part lol While I don't always love guitar solos or think they're completely necessary, I usually enjoy them a lot. I really love Tool guitars solos and sections. 3. I don't remember the other questions, but yeah, I love this song and I'm glad you liked it.
This album is pretty much their inbetween point. Opiate and Undertow are dominated by impulsive rage, Lateralus and the following albums are mostly introspective and largely about controlling and overcoming your impulses. AEnima is the album that bridges those two extremes. There are a lot of songs that culminate in fits of rage (Eulogy, AEnema, Pushit) but also calmer ones that are about self control and betterment (H., Forty Six & 2, Third Eye). Musically it's also combines the aggressive and grimey sound of it's predecessors and the ethereal and spiritual approach of Lateralus. Since you liked this one I guess you would also like Eulogy. And now that you familiarized yourself with Maynard's sense of humor, I believe you're ready for Hooks with Pens as well.
I get you with that solo guitar part and bass having a great bassline under. I think Adam Jones is very minimalist but in a great way so I would think he would want you to listen to one or both at once. So that they play against each other but sound great. Love you Lauren🤘🖤
For your info: Tool was formed in 1991 as a "joke" band - it was named after the tool shed in guitarist Adam Jones' backyard 😂 Adam Jones had worked as a CGI effects tech in Cali... he wanted a band that was kind of a prank on audiences... Danny Carey (drums) & Maynard James Keenan (vocals) came on board w/ Paul D'Amour (bass)... but Jones was surprised by how good a singer Maynard was. In 1992, Nirvana was breaking big, and record companies courted Tool... they opted to record an EP 'Opiate' as a debut (it was another joke - and EP is released after an album is a hit... not as a first offering) followed by the debut album 'Undertow' in 1993. Tool combined the heavy riffage of Black Sabbath w/ the sonic landscape of Pink Floyd (and also stayed faceless like Floyd) ...In 1996, bassist Justin Chancellor replaced D'Amour... the next album 'Aenima' went platinum in '96... Five years later, Tool hit #1 on the charts in 2001 w/ the 'Lateralus' album... and again in 2006 w/ the '10,000 days' album. Despite touring regularly to massive audiences, Tool did not release a new album for 13 years... Finally, the album 'Fear inoculum' was released in 2019... again debuting at #1, selling over a half million copies alone in the US in the streaming age.
I understand exactly what you're saying and it IS making sense, but once again without you realizing it, you have coined something....."One of those TooL experiences, where you feel like you're inside of it and it's surrounding you"...that's absolute perfection...Kudos my badass friend!
A bit of ramblings and I'm sure most of us knows what you're on about. 😉 Being a drummer, I figured most off my attention on the Bass too. I can sing along with most TOOL songs but I probably know maybe 35-40% off the lyrics. "I might fade like a sigh if I stay" and "there's no love in fear" are my favorite lines in this one. TOOL is one of those bands where I refuse to try to rate the songs from favorite to crap. I like what I like. 🤘🏽 Digging the blooper reel at the end! 😂😍
Great reaction! It's such a cool song, and yes, I get what you were trying to say. I can't wait for you to hear the live one tomorrow. It's probably the Tool song I listen to most often.
About the bass, I’m a guitar player and I actually started playing because of Adam Jones ironically. And when I first started listening to them back in the day I was enamored with his playing and I mostly focused on that because I was learning guitar. But after I learned a bunch of songs and went back and listened I tried to pay more attention to the others. Justin is fucking incredible. This song is one of his best performances for sure. During Adams solo I could give a rats ass what he’s doing anymore I always focus on Justin lol
A big part of me learning bass was because of Paul and Justin. Started listening to them in 94. So was used to both without knowing at such a young age that Paul left before Aenima's release.
I understand Lauren!!! So surprised to see a Tool video on Monahan. I love this song and the live version is insane. It's almost impossible to rank Tool songs for me cause their all incredible but if I really had to pick it would a tie between Lateralus and Pushit live version. All other Tool is tie for #2. Can't wait for tommorow!!!! Love the reaction!!!
Now somehow I knew you'd like that part. I've always liked it myself. Oh, btw, it's no Type O Negative but it ain't bad. I'm actually going with my son to see these Cats live this Friday night. Cheers!
I prefer the Salival version just because it has more of a raw, emotional feel to the lyrics. For either one though, I really have to be in the right mood to listen to it. I also often pick out the bass too. One of my favorite things about Tool is that you can key in on any single instrument and there will be something interesting going on. The best is when they are all doing something really different and yet it just fits together so well.
'Pushit' was from the 2nd Tool album 'Aenima'... Maynard's lyrics can be both, dark, humorous and serious at the same time... His work w/ his other band w/ guitarist Billy Howerdel, A Perfect Circle, also has the same vibes but less heavy riffage...
I get the guitar solo thing, but sometimes they really keep the....feeling(?) (words are hard Lol) of the song going. I know what you mean about feeling like you're right inside of the song with the music. I also get it with the lyrics. In this song, he puts me right there in the situation, watching the conflict play out. Is that weird? Looking forward to your reaction to the live version.
Well that is proving true because I just did Eulogy---doing my second listen right now---and OH MY GOD. That's all I'm going to say. I mean, seriously, wtf is this. lol
@Music, Cats, and Coffee Cant wait to see that reaction! Aenima is my favorite tool album (though I LOVE them all). When this album came out, Tool became my favorite band. Stinkfist, Eulogy, H., 46&2❤, Push It, Jimmy, Aenima, H with a P. Sooooo good! Im so excited taking this journey with you! Tool Army growing strong!
@@brismithejedi yeah, I had kinda low expectations for HWAP since he was using the megaphone, but when I actually heard it live it didn't bother me at all, and was really fun
Lady L, I understand when you say it's all about the Bass with you. I started out playing Drums and then moved on to Bass and Guitar. Drums and Bass are the backbone of any band, and in particular, TOOL. If you lose people because you "disparage" Guitar solos, well then they aren't worthy of your Honesty. I like guitar solos as well as the next human, (I can even play them) but it's not just about one instrument. That's why it's called a BAND. If you just want to hear Guitar, then strap on some Joe Satriani or Steve Vai and rocket to Mars. Whatever floats your boat, or starship. If Bass is your Thang, then groove to the Bass line and have no worries. Keep on Rockin'😎👍🎶🎵 Bye for now, sell for later.
Now you have a quote for all possible nasty, hateful comments in the Future: " You still love me, you still love me. You didn't need to put shit on me" ;-)
I don't think what Adam Jones was doing through that section was really a solo...more just adding texture to the music. Jones doesn't do a lot of what I would consider soloing...listen to 7empest for a good example of what he can do solo-wise
I only like simple solos. Stuff like OG Metallica solos bore me to tears. Hammett has created solos that don’t fit the song and it’s hilarious. So I just listen to the drums and bass.
9:00 I do understand what you're trying to say most of the time. The only thing that I don't get is when you talk about how I am supposed to be annoyed by you pausing and talking and how people appearently don't watch your videos until the end. Not trying to be cheesy here, I am genuinely confused when you bring that up.
That's because you're one of the awesome people. But in reality, the average view duration for most of my videos is about 35%. It is what it is. I'd like to say I'm over it but since I keep mentioning it, I guess I'm not. Hopefully I don't mention it as much??? :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Do you know what the average view duration for the typical RUclips video is? I don't, but I'd wager that it is not over 50% and probably not that much higher than yours (if it is even higher, it might not be). Also, you might want to consider that not every view is from a unique user. Some people watch videos more than once. I don't know how RUclips counts it if I watch 100% of the video the first time and then skip through it to the points I want to rewatch the next -couple of dozen- two to three times. Averages are typically not as bad as they sound once you consider things like that.
It may sound strange, but this long time fan doesn't find this song all that great. I don't hate it, but for me, it is far from the best. I know that goes against what most folks think, but that is OK I suppose. The salival version hits even lower for me. Way too slow.
P-push it real good! :)
Hell to the yeah! Let’s get some funky Salt-n-Pepa reactions. 😜
Ah shhh push it! XD
The song I am listening to at the time is always my favorite 😜
Lol. Salt & Peppa reference! Nice! You know, I'm not embarrassed to say that I listened to my fair share of them back in the day. Hahaha. So Lauren, you made the reference, were you a fan???
Mark Spooner I really only know this song because of 10 Things I Hate About You which I've seen about 84 times. :D I've heard it since then but that was the first time, pretty sure.

T.A.G. checking in. @11:50 I say to myself "man that bass". @11:59 Lauren "that bass!" 🤣🤘
"I must persuade you another waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" I love that bit, just that gorgeous sustain with Maynard while everything else just drops away.

just saw them in DC Tuesday and hearing Pushit live was the most amazing thing ive ever experienced
Ditto! Saw it out here in San Diego. Freaking amazing 🤘🍻
Seeing it in Detroit for the first time, can’t wait.
Wings for Marie parts one and two were my highlights

Going to see them live in Detroit 4/3/22 can’t wait
I think I can say "We get it."
It’s everyone’s favorite part.
Yo this is the fastest you had back to back tool reactions lol nice
Don't get used to it. I haven't even filmed the next one yet! Doing it today. :)
Great reaction! It's such a cool song, and yes, I get what you were trying to say. I can't wait for you to hear the live one tomorrow. It's probably the Tool song I listen to most often.

Bands that do really good solos are good. But in Tool they all do solos at the same time and it sounds amazing. That makes them great.
Of course I understand what you say about guitar solos. But what I mainly listen to (then or at any time really) is the drums :-)
I always listen to the bass in music first and foremost
Even though it's now march, Tool's Prison Sex might be an appropriate anti V-Day listen as well... if you haven't reacted to it yet.
He’s not speaking about a woman. He digging into his subconscious memories. Good luck trying to figure it out.
