That RIFF, the drums, the layers to these lyrics... this band is magic.
The distortion: he seems to tend toward the high gain channels of his amps for that instead of a pedal, which would normally either be a regular distortion, an overdrive, or a fuzz. / edit: well played with that shirt lol
Best band on the planet. Hands down.
So fun to go on the Tool journey with you ❤️
Highly recommend watching the O'Keefe Music Foundation's kids doing 46 & 2 whether you make a video of it or not. It's a breathe of fresh air and some badass kids covering the song!
Yes. Yes they are.
The technical term for what Danny was doing with those drums is, "Tearing it the f*ck up."
HAHAHA +1
I was all set to write this comment about using multiple time signatures within a measure, and employing multiple rudimentary styles, and blah, blah. Then I saw this comment and realized, you already nailed it! 🤣
He's called the octopus for a reason
I'd accept "making people look foolish, while ripping"
This is the best way I've ever heard Danny's technical skills described.
If you are going to do a collaboration with a musician for your next TOOL reaction, I think the perfect video would be the Vic Firth drum cam of Danny Carey on "Pneuma." You get to watch one of the greatest drummers ever go to work. It's amazing.
and isn't he wearing wrestling shoes? wear what works, man. who am I to judge a musical god?
@@McLeod2022 that’s not uncommon for drummers. Super light and provide a good feel for the surface under your foot.
This
I cannot agree with this idea more.
crocs or gtfo 😤
Maynard is actually an expert at sounding like he's simultaneously whispering and yelling at you
🤣so true!
I wore this song out 25 yrs ago. I got newer obsessions.
"Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim ..."
So quiet yet so brutal
Na... my mom is... she practiced it in church with me.... ;-)
lol like Biden
Danny Carey is one of the greatest drummers of all time. It is insane the rhythms and polyrhythms he incorporates into each idea and section of each individual song. All while still guiding the tempo of the song so smoothly, yet abruptly at the perfect moment. His kit is so dynamic.
The drum cam video for _Pneuma_ is just amazing to watch!
Tool is one of the bands i always recommend listening to the album versions of songs. The mixing, mastering and production really is a 5th and super important member of the band.
Tool is one of the bands I always recommend seeing live...for all of the same reasons, though live videos almost never do them justice....
They are really good live too, it s just that all their live concert videos are through a smartphone, not by a professional team
I recommend album for first listen, I think it's closer to what the artists intended. Live is great also but for first listen...
You've GOT to check out "Kids Cover 46 & 2"! That video is well worthy of a full reaction; its an amazing performance by extremely talented students.
That is an excellent cover, but going there she should start with Pull Me Under, then 46 & 2, and finally Sober to follow Kala's progression as a vocalist.
In case she needs the link

@@zyffyr Kala also did The Pot, and while not a Tool song, her goodbye from o'Keefe with their cover of Crazy Horse (Black Label Society) is great too.
Yes 👍
I agree with this... The kid singer is just amazing.
I have to say being a member of the Tool army myself... not only as a listener but as a drummer as well... Pushit from the Salival live album is probably the most emotional experience I've ever had the pleasure of listening. They completely flipped the script on the album version and turned it into a masterpiece. MJK's voice is absolutely masterfully planted in the musical scenery that the band lays. If there was a ever a "must hear" song... it's Pushit from Salival .
"I just want to live in that riff forever..." What a cool way to express the enjoyment you feel from a musical phrase. I love that. I'm going to remember that.
The guitar effect you're asking about is a flanger. There's also a lot of overdrive used. Your time is good, the main section is in 4/4, the other sections are in 7/8 ;) The "heaviness' is from Adam playing in drop D tuning (the song is in Dm). Great reaction Julia x Hope you do more Tool soon!
it's in drop D... that makes so much sense!
yup that sounds right.
I thought it was Justin who was lower? That is what I do on bass in a few of my band's uploaded songs onto Spotify etc, I go 1 lower than the guitar so that on occasions I add extra depth which goes below the guitar who is on D. I am on C. But I play the fret to simulate an open D note just so that I can utilise the open C on the few spots in that song. I thought Tool did this on here too?
Palm muting....
@@Defensive_Wounds Adam Jones almost always plays drop D,with a few exceptions like parabola/parabola which is drop B.
Also-he prefers to play higher on the neck on lower strings
One thing I feel often gets overlooked is their use of silence. They regularly use a full stop for a beat as a transition or a reprieve. This song is one of the more obvious examples
“I just want to live in this riff forever”. Love it! I have been diving into it since 1996 and when I hear it I feel it in my DNA.
That's a good thing to feel considering you're living in pretty close to that riff for 6 minutes. It could probably survive 20 minutes.
YES, metal-Julia is back with TOOL!!! Great reaction, please consider reacting to the TOOL song Lateralus (album version) next, the musical soundscape in this song is absolutely gorgeous (slow build, odd time signatures, enchanting melodies, catchy riffs, etc), all paired with Maynard’s full range of vocal delivery (from soft breathy tones to powerful belts). It’s truly a mesmerizing magical musical journey (p.s. Elizabeth loved it). Much Love!
Tool is like a fragrance ....it has top notes , heart notes, base notes ))) it is perfect everywhere ))
It's crazy for me to watch your reaction. It's beautiful to see someone appreciate Tool's creation from almost 25 years ago. Let us take a moment to appreciate that they are still touring in 2022. Their latest album, will also blow your mind.
EDIT: I forgot how many Tool reactions you've done, but you have only scratched the surface of some of the best music on earth.
I’d love to see you react to Maynard’s vocals in his other bands, A Perfect Circle & Puscifer. Both are distinctly Maynard, but completely different at the same time.
Very glad you are back ☺️ and what a come back 🙂. For the musician's analysis I'd recommend "Parabol+Parabola", "Schism" or "Pneuma". I think you will also like Maynard's vocals in A Perfect Circle's "3 Libras".
shes back.... im so happy I could cry. but then again did she really ever leave us?! NOT IF YOURE IN THE DISCORD..... those adorable kitty videos with commentary julia gave me life while we waited 😛
Oh yay I can't wait! One of my favorites from Maynard/Carey. It's a lyrical and rhythmical masterpiece.
Great choice! I appreciate that you swapped to the studio version, great call. Also loved that you allowed yourself to get swept away by the musicianship and more than just the singing. It is a brilliant song. The development of the guitar riff (introduction of harmonics, distortion and eventually a flanger) combined with the interplay of more and more complex drum riffs are textbook Tool. The changes are powerful, though, just when you think you know what's coming next. Really enjoyed you just loving the hell out of the song. This is one of those tunes that's worth several listens to capture some of the nuances, especially the drum fills. Please do keep 'em coming!
Adam's sound includes distortion, compression, phase/flange, wah, layering, sometimes vocoding, various others. The different drum timbres are Danny's kit including triggers, samples, and (the bit you pointed out) rototoms. The "alarm" sounds in a lot of this album were Maynard with a megaphone through a mid-pass filter and distortion. The song includes metric modulations, polymeter/polyrhythm, "rounds" between instruments and blending of motifs. Yes I'm a TOOL nerd. Why do you ask?
More specifically for the guitar sound for the part she was asking about; Diezel amps are used live where in the studio it is more often a mix of different amps. I believe this to be a Marshall JCM and some transistor amp layered up for that section without too many additional (pedal) effects.
A little later there is a flanger in there though.
Awesome knowledge of the instrumentation in this tune.
Thanks for sharing.
How about the sheets of aluminum thunder? The most artistic Tool album in my opinion.
WOW coming back to us strong with Tool. Thank you. You kept mentioning the instruments alot in this reaction, and I realize this would not be in your wheelhouse, but Danny Carey does a drum cam vid from a live show for the song Pneuma that is truly a masterpiece. You want polyrhythms this may be a video to watch
beat me to it. not a drummer... but that video makes me think this song sets Carey's set up proper with his right being our left and nothing is left to post production "sliding around"... that you hear as it would be heard standing in front of him. Danny Carey | Pneuma
So glad you're back! And what a song choice to return with!
One of my top 4 favorite songs by my favorite band broken down by my favorite RUclips person! ❤
...a collab would be cool to see. Any drummer worth their sand at all is going to know exactly who Danny Carey is.
One of the best songs ever written by one of the best bands ever created. THANK YOU for doing this
I would say that for the "ultimate" Tool experience "Lateralus" would be a great follow-up but there are so many songs by Tool that are just really cool "Schism" "Aenema" "Ticks and Leeches" and one of my favourites even though the lyrics are a little gross "Stinkfist"
Edit; I actually forgot my favourite duo of songs (which are technically one) "Parabol" and "Parabola"
Agreed. Ænima, Lateralus, Ticks & Leeches, Schism are amazing. Gotta toss Pneuma, 10,000 days, H, opiate.....actually, every song. Go listen to every single song. All of them.
@@drewishaf I still have to actually listen to their latest album.
The only tracks that I've listened to off of that album are Chocolate chip trip and Pneuma
Stinkfist just have to dig into deeper meaning. It’s my favorite Tool song
@@TrojanRabbit521 I see what you did there.
Eulogy. The progressions and ending will kill her.
Pun intended
One of my favourites, reminds me a lot of Karnivool “ Thermata!
That floaty feeling comes from the bass in one time signature, the guitar in another, the drums in a third, and the way the song is structured that they all come together, then move apart again. Pure magic!!!
04:10 Possibly one of the best expressions of one's appreciation for a riff/music I've ever heard.
OK Kirk led me to you!!! Love ❤ see anyone figure out that Tool is a journey not a band!!!! Love Vicariously going down the Blackhole that is the Tool rabbit hole 🕳 with you!!!!
The "hand drum sound" is a rotto tom, Danny is one of the best drummers in the game today.
Justin the new bassist for this album wrote that bass riff while waiting to audition. prolly what got him the job.
Welcome back. A brilliant song!
There isn't much more enjoyable than watching a new fan experiencing Tool for the first time. It allows us long-time fans to go back to what it was like when we experienced them for the first time. Tool is more of an experience than a band. Spiral Out...
You should watch this whole concert that live clip came from Julia. It is epic. The level of vocal endurance is staggering. It’s an emotional and physical test. I saw Tool on that tour and Maynard gave everything he had. It was the greatest live performance I’ve ever seen to this day.
PS: At 13:39 that “descending sound” is created using pinch harmonics. It’s a picking technique where the finger strikes a harmonic on the string at the same time the primary note is picked. He’s also using a wah pedal in that section, but not in the usual Hendrix fashion. He’s gradually increasing the wah. The combination of the two is what creates the overall impression of falling.
I see you on a lot of videos I watch hahaha
13:35 when you said "that descending sound" I immediately thought how enjoyable your reaction to the song Descending would be. And what a song it is. I dare say it is the best song my senses have experienced, with eyes closed of course. I am 100 % sure every viewer will be genuinely happy to watch it.
I gotta say I've listened to a number of these videos of people reacting to tool and yours really are my favorite I agree with the thoughts a lot and it makes me feel like I'm listening for the first time again
What a fun shirt. It was a real pleasure seeing your reaction to a (dare I say,) a classic piece of Rock. And before anyone gets on me for calling it classic, chew on this. When Black Sabbath and Deep Purple were new, they were considered Heavy Metal. Now it's played on classic rock stations. So in the span of 30 years it's genre changed. Aenima came out September 17, 1996. Heck, GnR is played on classic rock stations.
Your technical jargon is pretty spot on, "wicked stuff on that kit" is about as accurate as it gets for everything Danny Carey does 😆
Julia is back! And she`s back with a masterpiece.😊
Makes my day.
I love to watch your reactions! Love your take on my favorite band!
nice breakdown of some lyrics...i got the same from them! nice reaction!!
Allways satisfying watching people get mindgasms from listening to Tools amazing music. They have something that noone else has that just reaches out and grabs your mind, and on top of that lyrics that are way deeper than I think many realises.
And yeah, like a couple of others here suggests, go check out "Kids Cover 46 & 2". The cover in it self is super amazing, and the kids are just flupping awesome musicians...
I was actually an engineer at that show. It was their first show of the album tour as he stated. What an incredible night and performance!
What year is that performance from, Klouded?
@@richcapo the show was Oct. 16, 1996. It was at The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA.
here's a link to a video someone shot of the whole show.
ruclips.net/video/-DoALVKAqtY/видео.html
Over from the Charismatic Voice and you have another follower. Honestly only you and the Charismatic voice can I handle the all the stops. Really cool analysis and a great reaction. This is by far one of my favorite bands and if you ever get a chance to see them live it will be so worth your time! You should check a locale band in your neck of the woods called Karnivool. Another great band !
Not just a vocal expert, but a real enthusiast, and your enjoyment spreads to an appreciation of the elements not exactly in your wheelhouse. I have friends whose experience has worn them out and they don't love it to the level that motivated them initially.
Cynicism pollutes even something as pure as music which seems oxymoronic. So glad you've kept to the joyous side. Your eyes are alive.
JULIA IS BACK! And with a TOOL song?? Is it christmas day?? 😍
This song is also the reason I learned about Carl Jung and his theory of the Shadow and its archetypes. Tool mentions his shadow multiple times, and learning about it helped me understand this song even MORE.
So Glad you are back, hope every thing is all right.
Those Kitten are so FLUFFY !!!! :-)
Tool brought me here. Now I have a renewed sense of appreciation for my favorite band. You have a beautiful mind.
Yes! The queen is back!! Love me some tool and some progressive metal that brings out the counting face lol
The live version of Pushit off their Salival live album. That song is a masterpiece.
Great seeing you taking a break from flood recovery fun, and staff work for Kitties who are plotting to take over the world.
Welcome back, you've been missed. I second, third and fourth your follow-up reaction being Vic Firth's drum cam video of Danny Carey on Pneuma. Be prepared to have your socks blown off. It is amazing!
Would love to see you breakdown the whole album of Lateralus. From start to end. It’s a beautiful and great experience. Spiral 🌀 Out 🤙🏻
You should listen to the audio version :)
Saturn ascends
Maynard is UNCHAINED in his other band PUSCIFER. A PERFECT CIRCLE is also MIND BLOWING.✌️
What Puscifer do you recommend to a new listener?
Amazing reaction! I'm grateful for how thoroughly you covered every aspect of this song!
New sub, loved the lesson and reaction!
I dont care what the song is... JULIA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"The Patient" is one of Maynards better vocal performances. Definitely one to check out.
First time watching a reaction video from you. a) I love you, b) you couldn't have chosen a better song by tool (*), and c) you did a fantastic job reviewing and reacting. #ToolArmy (*) = the greatest Tool song is whichever one that you are currently listening to. My Tool peeps know what I'm saying...
Fun to see someone appreciate music that much. Adam Jones' guitar tone/setup is a video all by itself ;)
Julia it’s great to see you back !! I highly recommend you watch this video by the O’KEEFE MUSIC FOUNDATION from 8 years ago, all young children, covering this song. The young lady who sings is soooo good and has continued her singing career. I think you’ll be amazed. ruclips.net/video/mYKLvYGqaC0/видео.html
Came here to say the same thing!
It's a great song, peak Tool in my opinion. Your reaction was great too, thorough and interesting. Having heard the original it would be great if you checked out O'Keefe Music Foundation's cover. "Kids Cover Tool". Amazing young musicians working hard on a great song, with an "unexpected" vocalist. You may find it interesting. Thanks for the reaction and g'day!
Yessss Julia's back now my days are complete. Love it..
I am 62 years old I think you hit this perfect great reactions !! A fan of yours to !! From washington USA !!!
Welcome back to TooL! If you ever react to Pneuma, after you've done that, definitely check out Dany Cary's drumming clip of Pneuma. The dude is an octopus! It'll answer a lot of your questions. He's a percussion prodigy. Just as all the members of the band are great at what they do.
Y E S
You should absolutely do “the pot” next, it’s such a great summation of everything tool and Maynard are capable of
I’m glad you’re back, Julia. I love your DNA T Shirt.
OMG it’s so good to see you again! ❤️❤️
Amazing reaction! Keep being you. Thank you.
You: really enjoying all the different sounds.
Me: damn, the crescendo and drop kicks ass!
Really loved you breaking down Tool, I've subbed for your coverage of everything Maynard ( there's 3 great bands of his)
Nice shirt! 😉 Apple Tree, Garage Car. And nice tie-in with 46&2. I get the reference.
Here's another cool fact about this song. In the drum solo, Danny Carey does this drum roll pattern where he basically invents a new note. The fill starts at 13:12 in your video. If you're counting 1/8th notes in 7/8 at 162 BPM, there's this accent pattern that take place every 3 16th notes. In that space Danny throws in this repeating fill, which for the longest time I could not figure out the note value. I tried 1/32nds, triplet 1/16ths, triplet 1/32nd, etc... nothing seemed right. After years and years of mystery I had to get super analytical and measured the time in milliseconds between each hit in an audio waveform viewer. To my surprise I found he was using a pattern of 6 notes, but the time he was using was divided in 8 subdivisions, with the first note tied for 3 subdivisions. So 5 subdivisions played across the toms and bass drums, and then a hit on the snare drum held for 3 subdivisions, for a total of 8 subdivisions. But that's played across the time of 3 16th notes. So what is the note value.... ??? a 3/128th note? Now.... if you do that math and divide the top and bottom by 3 what do you get.... 1/42.6666 repeating. OMG Haha! So close to being the most amazing note value / song title tie-in ever. Still pretty cool though.
Of course, in actuality, he probably didn't invent this note, nor did he invent this concept. I believe it's called nested tuplets, where you are basically shoving a certain amount of subdivisions in a certain amount of time in some other meter. Still, I'm sure he knew what he was doing. Did he know he was playing a 1/42.666 note? That will remain a mystery.
I was wondering if anyone caught that - the shirt connection to the song - but of course someone did!
Welcome back! 🔥🔥🔥 Edit: Yes such a tasty riff!!
I'm not missing this one! One of my favorite songs and favorite channels combined. 😁
Glad to see you back :-)
Before seen it, I need to say: Welcome Back!!! 😃😃😃🌹
good onya aussie I really enjoy your breakdowns!
Happy to see another video! Amazing as always! And YES having a collab reaction with any musician that you respect and gel with for a reaction would be SUPER cool.\
And the LOOK you were giving at the intro to the song from 1:54 to 2:08
That was MEME-worthy. "Find you someone who looks at you the way Julia looks at Tool"
We love you. Whatever you learn will keep us fascinated
Such a great song to do. It's one of my favorites. Thank you for this analysis. I love the way Maynard James Keenan weaves his voice through the music. We need more Tool! 🤘🤘
Love to see you and your content. See how deep you are flooding in to the music. For the last 2 hours i enjoy your channel and of course Tool is my favourit band, but i like to see and reccommend Ghost love score BUT with Tarja Turunen, the first singer off Nightwish.
Have a great chrismas, greetz from Berlin 🤘
You are great Julia. I have stopped trying to count beats. I just feel it. I think the members of Tool jams it out and then figure out the beat, it’s organized chaos. But in the end, whatever makes it great and moves you.
Love your reactions Julia🍻. Tho' this comment is all about that Fab "T" you're wearing. I want one!!
Tool= "The Perfection" Of The Music. Julia: Thanks For React Ths Master-Piece Of All Times!!!
I think my favorite part of Julia's videos is her passion for music not just vocals, you can tell there is a love there as she speaks about the composition of the music, they way it's produced, and the different techniques used and like I said not just the vocal techniques.
Amazon work.
Hello Julia, glad to have you back! If you want some more counting Tool--you can check out their song Lateralus which follows the Fibonacci sequence =)
Can you also check out The Contortionist - Language I and II?
Amazing reaction and analysis, as always! The way you provide us with incredible insight but still get carried away by what you are listening is something precious. Big big ups!! P.S. the touch of the ATGC t-shirt for this reaction is a nerd masterpiece ;-)
Love your reactions!
You are amazing!!! 😮 fantastic reaction! Please make more of your “colleagues” aware of the Dirty Loops that’s outthere!!! 😊🙏
Great video, you're very talented!
The triumphant return! Welcome back, Julias!
Absolutely love your nerding out about the musical weirdness that is Tool. I always considered it a sort of avant-garde jazz nu-rock, between flipping between weird time signatures, domination of odd accents and emphases, and just absolute beastitude with polyrhythms.
The "hand drum" sound you're hearing are rototoms, by the way. Not many rock/metal drummers use them because they have a bit of a distracting sound and they're pitched instruments, as opposed to the entire rest of the kit.
Once in a lifetime band. Top 5 of all time. More TOOL. SUBSCRIBED. 🤞✌️
It's so good to see you back!! I was really hoping that nothing bad had happened to you (yup, I tend to overreact sometimes... probably comes with parenthood 😄). Tool... a band I discovered quite late to be honest (although you could say that there is no bad time to discover good music 😊). "46 & 2" was the first song from Tool that I heard and it hit me like a ton of bricks... then it was an upward spiral of discoveries. I have to say though that I was particularly touched by "Wings for Marie" (part I & II)... a song in honor of a mother is nothing to pass by.
As an add-on, I would recommend an australian rock classic... "Evie" by Stevie Wright. A beautiful song, way too often passed over or even totally unknown by music lovers. Keep up the good work Julia, you are amazing!
What an excellent shirt choice with this band and particular song!!
YES!! When you said you want to live in that riff forever.. yes, same💁♂️
saw a recent documentary on Tool and how their music affects their fans, and how they do in fact, create a musical "landscape" or even an entire "city" with layers of notes and sounds, with things just build up to the vocals or a guitar crescendo.
Fully support the collab idea!
More tool reactions please. I just subscribed after watching your 46 & 2 break down and I’m impressed. To see your excitement is tip feel exactly what every tool fan across the nation has felt the first time they ever heard any tool song..especially ones that are powerful and the ones that hit home for them. It’s like being lifted up and crying all at the same time …as if in this joyous roller coaster of infinite glee that almost can’t be described only experienced. Which is why when you go to the TOOL show it’s not a show it’s an experience in any tool fan will tell you exactly what I’m saying right now. #tool2022showsarethebomb
I believe we have a new tool fan in Julia. You should check out the live video to this song. You will freak out on now he’s singing and moving his body. As always enjoyed the reaction.
