#TOOL #sober
He is actually in character…this song is about a friend of the band that only had artistic ability only when he is under the influence
That is a very interesting point of view for writing! Is there an interview or something where he is talking about this?
Glad you shared this
@@annavaskelainenHi, beautiful woman! Do you remember Diana Ankudinova? Amazing new music video BAIKAL. The part of OST of SPIRIT OF BAIKAL. PLEASE REACT!
WOW.....in never knew that. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. Great BAND.....my favorite since High School
@@annavaskelainenI would also be interested to know that
During this performance, Maynard picked out one person in the crowd and focused on him/her. Ironically, he now owns and operates a vinyard and winery in Arizona. Cheers!
Woah i didn't know that.
That has got to be a somewhat terrifying experience.
To be the person in focus...
I could not help but feel adressed.
I read a comment from someone who said Maynard picked them out as his person to focus on during a song. That meant eleven solid minutes of being aggressively stared at by him. I don't know if I could handle that.
The fact that you react in your language and English is everything. One of the best singers reacting to music videos. 💯
Thank you SO much for this comment! 🥰
This song is so powerful because it is so real. To many, this is a daily reality. You literally hate what you have become. Some find a way out, others don't. December 31. 2004, after 16 years, I was finally able to escape the grasp. May I never F'n go back there! Now let me turn this up!
So true dude! I felt exactly the same way until I got sober on May 11, 2001. 22 years and countng!
Well done to you both
“Ok then.” Indeed. The emotion and strength of Maynard’s performance. Masterpiece.
for complexity I recommend "Lateralus" or "Parabol/Parabola", for vocal extremes I suggest "Bottom", "The Grudge" or "The Pot". If you desire to "get" the sense of Tool try "46 & 2" "Aenima" or "Schism", those were their other most popular radio hits back in the 1990's.
These are all great recommendations!!
The best thing about tool is that the more you listen to them the more you will love/appreciate them. It’s like a fine wine. Plus you do not get sick of hearing their songs. I’m currently on a four year bender, where tool is my dominant band. I saw them first live in 1994 I think in Orlando at a college gym. Took a break from them for a while and then re-discovered there later artistry. And I’m infatuated with everything they’ve ever put out.
I suggest looking into his band A Perfect Circle if you want to truly see his ability and range.
You NEVER get sick of hearing their songs, but at a certain point I realized just how much I miss their OLD SOUND. Maynard doesn't really sing like that anymore
He’s turning 60 so yeah small wonder he doesn’t sing like he is in his 20’s anymore :) he’s amazing, seeing him in a week! Can’t wait!
Schism and 46 & 2 got me into playing bass. Absolutely legendary band
I think, as a bass player myself, these are the two Tool riffs bass players always pick up.
46 & 2 and Stinkfist are so.deep.of lyrics they hit hard as well as sober
4:03 the moment Maynard has your attention and almost makes you cry. Awesome to catch that on a vid!!
Nice catch yourself!
Tool is one of the greatest bands of all time, enjoy the journey
Beautiful music off all time
Maynard is the only guy Ive ever seen that can scream at you with his eyes.
The brilliance of Sober is the song is broken down into three parts.
Part 1. The addict pleading.
Part 2. The addiction/substance prying itself in.
Part 3. The back and forth, the struggle, the acceptance.
Tool rarely does happy endings.
I love the deep breath that people take after reacting to a Tool song for the first time. 😂❤
😅
It's your brain trying to choose where to start because EVERYTHING is good.
Welcome to the beginning of the rabbit hole miss. They are a genre unto themselves. "Spiral out, keep going."
Oh god fucking CRINGE
I regard this song as a masterpiece of brooding and having torment; it can give me chills. It’s true that Maynard is quite in character, and I feel like he is almost an actor up on that stage. Not that he is creating a fictional character, but that he is so into his role that his performance reaches a higher, truer level of theatre.
I understand the song is about close friend of his and the band who felt he was creative only when under influence of substances, but the substances were destroying him. So either he was under influence and killing himself or sober and not making art he considered worthwhile.
I am not sure which path he ultimately chose, but it is clear the torment and misery affected those around him deeply.
His voice is incredibly strong and controlled for that intensity.
Tool was highly influential at this time and this song really hits home to many. You can feel the pain and loss he feels over the addiction his friend is fighting. This live performance has to rate as one of the best of this era. Great song to introduce you to TOOL!
Easily one of the top ten live performances of the 90's. This is one of the most visceral performances of any era.
Its 100% character. Maynard never messed with drugs.. The song is about a friend..
4:55. One of Maynard’s best attributes, is that he can put himself in anyone’s shoes! His empathy surrounds his intelligence. I’m quite sure he is speaking for another, here. Maynard does this quite a lot.
Yeah. His ability to convey emotion is uncanny
"His empathy surrounds his intelligence."
Great way of putting it!
One of best videos on RUclips
Stunning performance ........ It is definitely a heartfelt song for Maynard
I think he's physically adding pain to the lyrics through his contorted posture.
Tool is really incredible. Although this live performance quality is pretty low it is still great and you can see the story being told in the song. There are other songs with deeper meaning, but this one is definitely one to experience as a show!
Finnish is such a beautiful language
Danny Carey - Pneuma is the best drumming video you will ever see. Doesnt use a click either.
I love how the song ends with "I want what I want". Through all the depression and self-loathing, he is aware that he is being selfish with his actions.
Very authentic writing. Most musicians would try to make you feel sorry for them. He is like, "No, I am being a selfish POS with this self-hatred."
It's not a self-serving false cry for support. It is a depressing and real dive into the mind of someone that hates themself.
Such a tease. Can't wait for this one!
Wow…..your the 1st reactor to actually hear the line “Why can’t we (NOT) be sober” most reactors don’t hear the word (Not) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great reaction ❤️
Why CAN'T we not be sober.
Your perspective of the character portrayed by Maynard looking far into the distance is excellent, it's as if he doesn't want to be there so ignores the crowd and sings alone, not caring for the thousands in attendance.
Yes…I’m excited to watch this! Anna, I’m a big fan of yours by the way.
Yay! Thank you for your support! xx
@@annavaskelainen There are many who do what you do, but you and the Charismatic Voice are the best hands down at it in my opinion. I believe the songs themselves blush when you give them your attention. 😃
I’m a big fan too.❤
Your reactions are wonderful, thank you!
Ohhhhhhh! This is going to be a good one! ❤ ANNA!!! ❤❤❤
Kkkodiaaaak!
Welcome to the Tool experience. You are about to go down a rabbit hole with this band. Buckle up and enjoy the experience!
Another incredible and equally gut-wrenching live performance is their live version of "Pushit" from Aenima, as performed on the live record Salival during the Aenima tour way back in 1997-1998. You can find it on youtube, and while there is no video of that particular performance, it is a transcendent performance, both musically and vocally. It is worth checking out both as a fan of music, and as a professional voice coach.
"Unsettling and intriguing at the same time"... aka- Im now a fan of the genius...
I used to play this song in college when I was so numb I couldn't feel anything. I could feel this song at least.
Tool is the most complex, emotional, dynamic band ever. Masterpiece after masterpiece.
Tool is a top 3 band all time for me. Always excellent live. Such a vast catalog of excellent music. Schism, The Pot, Vicarious, Stinkfist, The Grudge, AEnema, and my all time favorite Lateralus are all excellent options
Greetings! This was a wonderful reaction. If I'm correct, this song is about a friend of Maynard's who had to be on substances to be creative. As to your question about what should be next, Lateralus, The Grudge, Pushit, & The Pot would all be good. Pretty much everything they've done is outstanding. You really can't go wrong.
Was looking for this comment…
Pretty sure this is about Bill Manspeaker.
@@nucl3arboNgWho is that?
@@nucl3arboNg I've heard that as well.
@@brandonguindon7455 He was the lead singer for Green Jello/Green Jelly.
Subbed for more TOOL reactions. I'm happy you spotted the talent of all the band members. Truly, each of them stands out amongst the best in the world at their instruments. Also, I've always thought Finnish was such a beautiful language. I love that you are mixing both English and Finnish into your reactions!
I bet this performance didn't give me a perfect picture of their true capabilities, not even close!
Awwee I'm very happy to know you like my mother language so much 🥰
Hello. More You and more Tool please !!!!!! ;-)
Noted!
Lateralus IS a masterpieces as Always with Tool you need keys to to catch It all. I forgot Schisme, Fear inoculum, and All the album Fear inoculum 🤘😎🤭😁 Have a nice day. See you ASAP 🙋♂️
Great video as usual Anna! Can you review Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn)? As a vocal coach, you will be blown away by the singing techniques of Eivør.... just saying
How can you not fall in love with tool? Only gets better in time.
yup
Great reaction! As others have said I would recommend you do Parabol/Parabola next(make sure you do them together audio only not the video ) Welcome to greatness that is TOOL
🥰
"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". Addiction in a nut shell.
Love the way you speak about the music. Subbed
As a Fin in Minnesota it makes me really happy that you have discovered this video and Tool! My grandma Kainu is 100 % Fin. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes I wish I had the capability; the eligibility, to cry for what I love. Here, you grasp it in your reaction, as I can stick the landing in your groove sand...
Welcome to Tool, it only gets more impressive from here.
"The Pot" is a great next song to dive into. Released 13 years after "Sober" and you see how the entire band has evolved.
100%. Don't get me wrong, I like Sober. But not nearly as much as I do most of their other songs. "The Pot" is a great intro into what separates Tool from the pack.
There are no bad TOOL songs. Start anywhere; experience them all.
First time seeing one of your videos and I enjoyed it! Maynard is absolutely a great vocalist and the band is quite accomplished musically. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
🥰
The pain comes from his childhood. His mother was very sick for years and often bedridden. She eventually died. He has turned tragedy into art. That is the ultimate act of being human and makes life worth living.
I heard or read somewhere that this song was about his distain for religion because how his mother’s church disowned her while she was ill.
Welcome to the TOOL army, Anna!
Thank you! 🥰
Love this song! Love the insights.... Thank you, Anna! Great way to start my morning... 😊
Happy to serve!
Hype!
Dreww!!
Tool guitarist Adam Jones explained in an interview with Guitar School: "The song and video are based on a guy we know who is at his artistic best when he's loaded. A lot of people give him s--t for that. I don't tell people to do or not do drugs. You can do what you want, but you have to take responsibility for what happens. If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault." >>
One of the deepest, most iconic songs of all time. Maynard is an exceptionally deep person. I grew up with his music and felt like he perfectly, poetically embodied the deepest of our emotions. He's am absolute genius and one of my forever idols.
Your native language is so beautiful. I want to learn it
The words are tortured and he is portraying this as well with his posture
Wow you're interpretation of Maynard and his eyes and committal to his presentation was remarkable
What a gift. I came to you through your Hi Ren reaction, just to find that you *just* posted this, which is my other favorite performance to observe reactions to. Thank you so much.
You have such a beautiful mix of knowledge/insightfulness and emotional responsiveness, which makes you a joy to watch alongside my absolute favorite music. Thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much for this comment! 🥰
@@annavaskelainen I would f’ing love for you to respond to more Ren, he’s such a genre-bender and a brilliant and sensitive artist-I really hope you do, but for now, I am so thrilled to see both of these responses back-to-back! You are a gorgeous reactor-I can really feel your responses, and they’re really beautiful.
@@annavaskelainen I’d love to see you respond to REN’s Tale of Jenny and Screech (full), and also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Chinchilla’s Fingers Live. Chinchilla is most well known for her collaboration with Ren in the song Chalk Outlines, which is stunning, but if you have limited reaction availability, I cannot overstate how strongly you (and the rest of us!) would enjoy her Fingers Live. She has one of those 💀💀💀 extended notes that are absolutely gorgeous. I really think you’d melt at her vocals in that song.
@@annavaskelainen please react to this… Chinchilla’s voice here is SO stunning and I believe you will feel it so deeply:

I really love your analysis of the performance. I think you saw something that we all know is there. Well done Anna. 9/10 reaction/review of the vocals here. Thank you.
Awesome reaction as always! Tool's music is very captivating, would love to see more reactions to it from you. Some songs that would be great to dig deeper into would be "The Pot", "Lateralus" or perhaps even "Rosetta Stoned".
If there is a song to break down, it’s “Lateralus” this one is definitely worth the review
I would suggest The Pot. Absolutely mesmerizing, it has the complexity that you asked for, and lyrically it is brilliant. All about the hypocrisy of those in power.
❤❤Todella raskasta rockia, pidän tästä!❤❤
"Tool" is the best band I have ever come across!!
New to channel and loving it. This is just the 2nd react. Love you speak your native tongue and break to english. I suspect there are many, many other gems for me to see as I work through. Peace & Love to ja and to yours. ☮☮ & 💜💜
Happy that you've joined my music family! I really hope to keep you around for many more musical adventures! 😊
Love listening to Finnish
Maynard is notorious for singling out a seemingly random oerson out of the crowd with his gaze . I am just jealous because i was never chosen😂.
comment before watch:
this piece is everything
for so many ppl.
Maynard is a Legend.-
'm prety sure i will review your reaction
a couple hundrends times
as i do to some other pieces..
🙏
Once again, a trip into unchartered territory for me. Well, with such good guide as you no need to hesitate but dive into the piece and discover the band/singer !👍
Your observation of him looking through the audience. It's as if there is something behind the audience that he is battling with. Whether or not it was part of the performance or not, it's very effective.
On another note, Finnish is the most beautiful language on earth.
I love that for every emotion, they have a song that fits that emotion.
When you attempt to sing this song you would be really suprised by how much the 'hunch' helps in been able to create the resonance and control needed. It goes against everything your taught, but try it. It is shocking how much it helps. I'd go for Pushit Salival, which is a live performance and really shows off many of MJKs' skills. I studied with many Finnish students and it's great to hear Finnish again. Really good reaction 💜
Complex you say? OK....enjoy the ride.
I shall
To me, Maynard is referring to the guilt of mankind in this song, how we human beeings can fail so often with all the possibilities we have, but not using them in a positive way. Maynard sound like EPIKTET, stoic, in a modern thinking form.
So Annatella, what are you waiting for!? Tool is still very worth of a reaction of that young finnish musician. So please react on some old well known bands like Tool, Deftones, System OAD, ...
Maynard is a genius
He's amazing
Im now 54, i heard the very beginnings of rock n roll, r&b.. the very beginning of rap... ect ect n lm a musician of over 40 years as well n this man is the greatest writer, musicain n sings/delivers his lyrics better tahn any other artist ive ever encountered. His 3 nads are just mind boggling n i love them all so much.... he is everything id love to be musically. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Tool is my favorite Rock band of all time. I have others that I just adore but this band transcends them all.
Awesome review & reaction!...💯👍
thx!
Welcome to the Tool Family, Spiral Out. Keep, Going.
Thank you! 🥰
These guys are still rocking. Their last album was dope.
Это не первый обзор, который я смотрю на данным перформанс. Но в этом видео не могу оторвать взгляд от девушки🥱
Пойду расчешу бороду.
46 & 2
Idk how I found this channel, but I love this❤
🥰
This concert was amazing! Ive seen Tool 4 times...it is an exceptional experience. I dont trust anyone that doesn't understand Tool.
Keep listening to more!
I don't know what she's saying but i love every word she says
hahah well I hope you had the subtitle turned on at least!
I don't know what part of the planet you from but beautiful speech and God bless welcome to tool your part of the family now .....tool under tow album was genius
Those moments you weren't analysing and connecting. Take that feeling and listen to more Tool, Then listen to more Tool.
For the ultimate in emotion listen to "10,000 Days/Wings for Marie" written by Maynard about his mother. It shows sorrow, anger, and love.
I just found you and you are amazing….. I saw Tool in an old movie theater in Bakersfield California in the 90,s….. I have seen them a total of 6 times and will see them a 7th time in Phoenix on Saturday… They are great and as good as the music live as any band I have heard…
Can't go wrong with TOOL.
These days maynard sings in the background, switching from right and left of Danny carey's drums. Usually in the dark and he sounds better than ever. Went to 1/21/24 show and it was great.
Finnish sounds so beautiful. Im kind of Biased. I remember my grandfather and relatives speaking it at such a young age. Astoria Oregon where i was born. Yes the film of the Goonies. Has a huge Finnish population and history of immigrants there.
Ohhh my God...I love your language and your native accent...you are spectacular in every way...thank you very much for your reactions, they are a delight and your knowledge as well as as a singer you are excellent.
The funny thing too is that Maynard is a shrewd business man who is a very successful winemaker who owns vineyards in Arizona USA and sometimes wears a business suit and black framed glasses.
Her sweater looks really comfortable.
It is!
