"The bass sounds like dinosaurs walking." That might be the best description I have ever heard. And I think Justin would love that as well.
I thought the exact same thing when I heard him say this
where did you hear a real dinosaur walking so I could not only see it but also hear the original sound of its footsteps and not like they do in fictional movies like Jurassic park
@@salvacionlight9712 figuratively, not literally….what we can surmise that may be like…
Yep yep yep 😂
@@sreneethomas this...
Entry level Tool.
ALWAYS start with The Pot.
Then down the rabbit hole you go.
Tool is always a good time.
🤘
I started out on Right in Two with my brother KJ showing me it after having a good few too many "cookies", but it was a good introduction to the band. We vibed out the whole night.
The Pot is the gateway drug to Tool…😁
I’m a recent addition to the Tool
Horde and I approve this message
you start out with the opiate album
"A liar, lawyer, mirror. What's the difference." Is one of the best lines ever in my honest opinion.
As a former drug dependent, mine has been...
"I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down"
@@MrTwisted003 I respect that brother. Be well.
Sun Becoming
At minimum, a quadruple meaning I see. Not even sure if he intended it
As somebody who wants to be a lawyer I disagree
@@Mondaz3 and that is my point 👉 thank you
Dudes on the Spectrum. That's why he's a bad ass
“10,000 days that’s like three years” only 24 years off😂
It's actually 28.4 years
I know! I died. 😅 Cute tho.
The gears are turning. My dad’s a musician and he’s the same way. He will process the entire song without saying a word and then play it. As a guitar player it was awesome growing up because I knew every song. I remember playing nirvana never mind to him and he taught me half the record in two hours. The best dad ever.
For the past 5 years it's been my guilty pleasure to watch reaction videos of music that I love.
Of all the reactors (some great that I love) I must say that you guys are my favorite so far, there is absolutely no fake or no acting in your videos and I just love it. Also of course just the fact that you can play some of these songs on piano after one listen is just amazing and so fun. Keep up the good work guys.
best regards,
lifelong Metallica fan
ps. also just love the chemistry between you guys
pps. also just love you honesty, it's refreshing cause some reactors do act their enthusiasm or interest in some songs for sure
Thank you for the kind words! 🤘
Commenting to say that Right In Two from this album is one of the most nuanced and beautiful pieces of music in existence in my opinion. Please have Judson react to it! Love the channel keep up the good work!
Totally agree. Right in Two and Lateralus are my favorite Tool songs ever.
That and wings for Marie are my favorite. I love wings for Marie pt 2 especially. So pot first. Then wings then right In two. Then parabola.
@@zachary_smith1But make sure parbol right ahead of parabola. I hate when Parabola is played without parabol as the intro
Despite the mainstream Tool songs being a standard for any RUclipsr music reactor, these ☝️ 3 comments contain THE top tier suggestions. Lol All my absolute favourites.
You can see the gears working in his head when he looks at the piano to parse out the notes. And the fact that he had it that quick is great. Musically minded people are some of the smartest on Earth.
Intervals (the spaces between the notes), it's all about the intervals :D
If you wanna get outside of the usual Tool songs I’d recommend checking out Right in Two. It definitely doesn’t get enough love.
Here to second right in two!
Hell yea that song is awesome
H.
Wings for maria
Actually 10 000 days is equivalent to about 28 years, or close enough to it..not 3 years. I believe this album is a tribute/ode to Maynards mother who struggled with a debilitating disease for that many years.
She had a stroke and was paralyzed for roughly 10,000 days until she passed away, if I remember correctly.
_10,000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home._
I hope you continue on the tool journey, there’s a lot of amazing compositions
This was a good choice. It's the one Maynard recommends to play for someone who hasn't listened to them before. Each member gives so much to this song.
I love this guy’s reactions!!! After seeing your last 2 vids, I have this back story in my head that he’s been a music private lessons teacher locally for a couple decades. You decided to get back into piano as an adult, found him, started taking lessons for a few years, and just thought “god damn, this guy’s insight is genius and I have to share this guy with the world” and decided to make a YT channel.
😂😂 That’s a pretty good theory. Maybe one day we’ll share how we met. 🤘
Classical musically trained, it would be interesting to hear his opinion on "Invincible" from the newest album since it's almost entirely in a 7/8 (or 3/4-4/4) time signature, even when the tempo changes.
We’ll for sure do it and Pnuema. Both of those songs are favorites of mine. 🤘
Aw man. 🙏🏼 Thanks. You guys made my day at 2:10 - needed that laugh I got before the song even started. You 🛠️ ! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Absolutely the best tool reaction I've ever seen. That guy...🤘
Tool musical journey is in my personal opinions one of the best artistic journeys you can go on...From this to Third Eye all the way from Wings for Marie to Lateralus, The Grudge to Schizm, EVERYTHING.. This band is such a wonderful gift to humanity!
I would recommend diving into the lyrics more and trying to understand what the songs mean. Nevertheless, enjoying these videos a lot!
Thank you for the feedback! 🤘
@@GreatmeasuresDefinitely read lyrics. But don't read them while you're reacting. Maynard is very adamant that he/his lyrics are not the center of attention. He knows the music is the genius of the band and he uses his voice as an instrument. The lyrics are meant to be digested later and the more you listen to them.
One of my favorite new channels! Y’all are very cool and hilarious too! Nothing but bangers! Now entering the world of
🔥👽👽TOOL👽👽🔥
LETS GO!!!!
Buckle up! 🤘
Im so fucking happy I found you guys literally two weeks into your RUclips career lmao, you guys just bring me joy
Thank you! We’re excited for the journey. 🤘
I agree. It's a very intelligent way to construct a song. I'm not really a metal guy, but I love the way these guys piece together their music. Sometimes it's like an auditory puzzle to me
It's because it is. They deliberately made it that way.
It's not music, it's an experience.
@@VentryxI've seen Adam roll his eyes at it being callled metal, and then call it prog rock.
If this dude is classically trained musician, you MUST put him in front of the Salival album version of TOOL's song, "Pushit."
The Salival Pushit is a fantastic piece of music!! 👍👍👍
Just discovered this channel and y’all did a great job with The Pot. Would love to see the reaction to Lateralus and Pneuma.
My 20th wedding anniversary is soon and hubby surprised me with tickets to the Knoxville show November 3rd. We’ve been fans for 30 years and this’ll be our first Tool concert so yeah, we’re super excited! 😁
That’s awesome! Congrats on 20 years! 🤘
Yes please, Lateralus and Pneuma are great. So is The Grudge. Just don't stop reacting to Tool.
@@owleye303 How could I forget “The Grudge”???
Been binge watching your videos, I love the intros, you too are awesome!
Suscribed y saludos desde Mexico.
Been binging your videos and love the reactions. Loved this one too another great video. Judon's reactions and air playing, Lol. Also I noticed that Signs of the Swarm shirt Richard
👀
Saw them 2 weeks ago. I took my little brother. He has Adam Jones as one of his guitar player Holy Trinity. When they played this after Jambi the arena shook from the bass & drums. Knocked everyone on their asses. It was amazing. I love the dinosaur analogy. It’s absolutely something my dad would say lol.
Oh my what a nice surprise, loved it. Also, I appreciate you taking into consideration where to start him and this was perfect. Maybe Vicarious early in?
Ive seen a brazzillion POT reactions and this one was one of the more interesting-you can tell this man is wicked smart and intuitive-im guessing pretty high on the functioning spectrum.., great job
High in comparison to what
I havent laughed so hard to any reaction video. You two are hilsrious 😂
That man is feeling every note of that song deeply.
yea almost looks uncomfortable by it
i loved the reaction, and your genuine honesty. it seemed you got a lot out of your first listen. i recommend lateralus or pneuma. if you listen to pneuma there’s an amazing live drum cam video on yt. first time here but i hope to see more tool on the channel!
Really, really enjoyed this video, thanks👍🏽
Great intro song to Tool this was my Gateway I'm an old Metalhead rocker I never really listened to them until about three years ago they're a great band you feel exhausted after you've listened to one of their songs😊❤
My personal favorite on this album... Magnificent.
Fascinating. Thank you both.
Well that was adorable! Id love to see Judson's take on Descending.
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll put it on the list. 🤘
The Pot was the first TOOL music i listened. Mainard’s intro made my body shivers… and still make It today.
As soon as Judson said, they were hanging from the ceiling and covered in silver stuff and were doing weird stuff on stage, it really brought me back, and he is correct. I saw them in 2001, they were doing their tour for Lateralus and what he is referring to was when they played Schism live. They had people walking around and hanging upside down in like a cocoon as I could best describe it. Maynard was performing in his underwear and it was pouring down rain outside. Still to this day one of the best shows I've ever been to! Can't wait to see his reaction to some very complex songs from Tool soon!
That’s awesome! We’re going to try to do more Tool very soon. 🤘
@@Greatmeasures Can't wait for that! Especially his reaction to Schism and Lateralus! Hopefully, he'll be a member of the Tool Army soon. Spiral out!
i remember that tour. naked dudes hanging from the ceiling. lol
@@klipfellgames1158 It was a crazy show for sure! What was wild was we were under tornado warnings and still, all of us drove up to watch Tool perform. Maynard said we were a crazy ass bunch of folks and because we still came out, they were going to give us one hell of show, in the rain and tornado warnings and all, and they did put on a show! One of my best if not the best concert I've ever been to!
Osseus Labyrint
I can tell this was actually a very genuine reaction, very cool to see
This is one of my favorite Tool songs. Thanks for doing this video!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘
You should consider Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss. Probably their most musically mature song, in my opinion. @@Greatmeasures
You guys are interesting, fun reaction & great insight. Tighten things up lol. Agreed, TOOL are on another level & love the way they use their musical space.
Just discovered your channel..good stuff keep it up!
Thank you!
Great reaction as always. Keep it up boyz!
Thank you!
I have seen your Ren and now Tool reactions, wonderful music and great reactions. Thanks!
Thank you!
A person who masters sarcasm is such a treat to be around. Ive never met this guy but somehow he feels like an old friend.
My favourite friends have been the sarcastic ones with a dry sense of humour.
Tool lyrics exist on multiple levels. Even the name Tool is meant to be interpreted many ways. Like you're a tool. Or that this music is a tool. I've found that I've found different meanings to their lyrics as I've aged. Which is wild. Maynard always writes that way, double entendres and such. This song, yea about pot, but also hypocrites (pots) who call the kettle black in regards to politicians and others who put their views/laws on others while doing what they want. The genius of Tool's music is the depth of everything, from the instruments to the lyrics. It's all intended to take you on a journey and get you thinking more about life.
its a dick joke btw
cool videos guys! hahahah :D :) song goes hard!
Yessss! Do more Tool!
I need a friend like this haha. Great reaction!
Nice call on the rewind. Keep that up, hate when things get lost in those moments
Dude I fucking love Judson intros hahaha. Your guys channel is awesome
Thank you!
just found your page. here for the Tool. keep going.
Great reaction! It's me and myself listening to Tool.
If they do simple stuff you need more Tool. The mixed measure etc is exceptional.
Judson seems like a friend I wish I had! He seems cool AF!
More Tool. Do "Lateralus" and demonstrate their genius behind a song structured to the Fibonacci Sequence.
Pneuma was the first track shown to me. Favorite band for a few years now. Going to watch them play for the first time in a few months, very excited.
The algorithm blessed me with the new channel! Liked and subbed
Thank you! 🤘
Love this guy's sense of humor. 😆
Loving the videos, fellas. You've probably heard this a million times, but I would love to see you tackle some Jethro Tull stuff.
That’s actually the first time it’s been suggested, but I think it’s a great idea!
Awesome. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more great stuff!@@Greatmeasures
Yay Tool! At last!!!
You know what Judson would love? Some symphonic or neoclassical metal, like Nightwish (f/e Ghost Love Score), Epica (f/e Cry for the Moon) or Kamelot (Elizabeth I, II & III). I'd try a live version for greater effect.
We’re going to do Nightwish very soon! 🤘
@@Greatmeasures 🤘🤘🤘🤘
He is right on the money with Tool on Woodstock 99. They had silver costumes!
It's about hypocrisy (pot calling the kettle black) and then basically saying, "For you to try and call me out on something when you are the way you are -- you must have been high to say that."
TA-wEEEEEEKEN!!!!! Wow, the teach is up and out....keep going
1st. Your gonna love this.
I subscribed to see more tool. Great video.
More Tool coming very soon. 🤘
Im happy now, thanks guys!!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘
I just saw them with my 30 yr old daughter in May at Rockville. Watching them perform this song was amazing. I can honestly say this was the song that grabbed me but I find it funny that this crazy polyrhythmic masterpiece would be considered easing someone into Tool 😂😂😂.
😂😂 Good point. I didn’t know where else to start. Excited to take him down the Tool rabbit hole.
For cereal, that Rockville show was great, Adams live tone during The Patient was 🎉
@@Greatmeasures Their early stuff is more simple, though not really, only in a certain way. But the music does get more and more complex with each album. Sober would be a great song on that note. But if you take the journey from album, to album you can really tell they never let up on practicing and getting better over the years.
Surprised you started with this one. Perfect for rock but for a classical listener they have several that are right in that wheel house. Either way, keep going ✌️
I'm not sure about this song specifically but they do a ton of music in B instead of E standard and then go to a drop D from there. It's one of the things that really define their sound. Awesome reaction guys!
The only song I can think of that fits that description is prison sex. Most songs are in drop D. Parabol/Parabola are in a unique tuning as well.
@@crazydrummer181the low E string on parabol/a is tuned to B
el señor que reacciona es hiper sensible a la musica es increible cada gesto que ocurre mientras su cabeza analiza la musica
toda su gestualidad fue mostrando como sentia con cada reef
lol this little guy is a menace! Doing bits, being annoying while staring into your soul with a shit-eating grin. A force to be reckoned with, for sure.
Guys, first time on the channel here. Love the video. You should go with something from the new album next. Either the live drum cam of Pneuma or maybe Invincible/Descending depending on personal tastes. It'd be a guarantee that you dont run into something he remembers from '99.
This is so different, really like it..
I always felt hardcore hypocrisy! And I have come to respect the lyrical genius of Maynard!
I like these guys man
.....TooOOOOLLLLLL ....!!!... ❤❤❤..how can you not be amazed? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You start someone off listening to Tool with Schism :) Great vid ty
Enjoyed the reaction. I love to see a reaction to Radiohead's How to Disappear Completely, because of it's structure and Rush YYZ because of the performance and structure. Thanks for the reaction.
Hahah, I went to a show during that tour. The silver people swinging from the ceiling were the acrobats hired for the Schism music video.
The decorations/furniture and the quality of the video make this look like its from the 90s or early 2000s
I saw that tour too. The two or three people hanging from "ropes" doing "tricks." At some of these we balked.
Right in Two! Please, please, please.
This dude is perfect for reaction videos.
12:11 trying hard not to head bang harder :D
Thanks for rewinding the song a few seconds back after pausing!
I saw them in 99. There were people wrapped like worms wiggling and hanging from the scaffolding above the stage. It was ridiculous. The screen wrapped around us and the visuals were indescribable. It's hard to picture what he was describing when he said they were behind a screen, but they literally were.
It would be cool for y'all to get into their song structure too. I think this track moves from 4/4 to 6/4 quite seamlessly, which is not really noticeable unless you're listening for it
I would personally like to see a reaction to the song Lateralus by Tool. I think yall would really get a kick out of it!
When dude said, “what’s this song about? Like…” and did the lil head jerk back like he was saying, “that shit on the counter in the kitchen..” I about died laughing. Maybe cuz I’m dancing with the electric cabbage myself, but it made me laugh and y’all earned that like. Good shit. Keep journeying tool because they’re all across the board with their music, but it’s always distinctly them, ya know? Keep ‘em comin boys!
Thank you! 🤘
Bro, listen to the lyrics. The song is about hypocrisy. However, it is said to originate from an incident where someone traveling to Maynard's place in Arizona was stopped and arrested for marijuana possession by a sheriff who would later be busted for meth and solicitation of prostitution. Pot calling the kettle black, kangaroo courts, throwing stones in glass houses, muddying the waters, house of cards, lemon juice in the eye to fake tears (weeping cozened shades of indigo), and my favorite line: Liar, lawyer, mirror...what's the difference?
Bro, the word you're looking for is 'double entendre'
@@augusthands9932 I am well aware of what a double entendre is, and equally aware of their presence within the lyrics, and the quirky double entendric nature of the song's origin story. Spiral out. Keep going
@@scottw5253 Good for you
You have some sort of weird fetishistic dislike of lawyers for no good reason, don't you? Seriously. Everyone who quotes "Lier, lawyer." has the same stupid fetish.
Tighten it up!❤
Thx, more Tool please 🙏🌀
Yeah man I saw them 2019, 2020, and will see again this November. If you ever get the chance, dont pass it up!
I like how broski checks the keys when listening to music. As a musician you always analyze the musical aspect of it. It’s totally different from a person that doesn’t play any instruments.
He's talking about the tour where they played behind a sheet, and Cirque De Solei performed in front of the sheet.
The song is actually calling out Jimmy Page for saying that Tool is stealing from Led Zeppelin while Zeppelin stole their own music from blues and specifically Muddy Waters.
I heard this too and even repeated it but I can't find anything on the web to back it up.
As with all tool songs it's open to interpretation, but the theme of this album is about Maynard's mother's battle with cancer(?) and her death. This song contextualized with Wings for Marie gives me the sense it's about others in her congregation judging her for something, when the Bible teaches us not to judge.
It's about a judge in California who was infamous for locking people up over weed. It came to light later,the judge was either a coke head or got caught with coke. Can't remember. Same judge locked up one of Maynard's friends over a couple plants way back in the day.
LOVE Tool, this is the kind of music I try to write and play. Sadly I am not quite as skilled at it as the members of Tool.
Lovely
The first time I heard The Pot was the first time I listened to Tool I was blown away this is probably in my top five favourite songs of the last 10 years the Precision the changeups they're a very unique sounding band❤😊
This album came out in 2006, so that's... 17 years ago... holy shit that makes me feel old
Wings 1 and 2, pls. Next level orchestration... 🤘
Absolutely! He must listen to those!
